Indeed, history took a turn, and Li Shimin pardoned Shan Xiongxin.
This also reflects the change in Li Shimin.
His nature was originally one that listened to counsel, and now with a more resolute goal, this trait has been greatly magnified.
Shan Xiongxin was deeply moved by Li Shimin's leniency.
As Gu Quan had said,
Shan Xiongxin fought to the death only for the sake of "loyalty." Now that even Wang Shichong has surrendered, he need not worry any longer.
As a grand general under Wang Shichong, he had considerable influence within the army.
With his assistance and the influence of the Gu Clan,
integrating the Luoyang garrison went very smoothly.
Li Shimin's next goal, naturally, was to redirect his forces back to Tang Territory to deal with the various lords of the four corners!
The situation shifted dramatically.
As the news spread, it had an unimaginable impact on the entire realm.
——Four Seas in Turmoil!
