Who does "four horses vote for Tang" mean?

According to the deduction of the classic traditional opera "Four Horses for the Tang Dynasty" in Henan Province, it is said that after the failure of Wagangzhai and Luoyang, the eastern capital of Wang Zhengduo, the army of Wagangzhai was divided into two factions, one went to Chang 'an to defect to Li Yuan and the other to defect to the king in Luoyang. The first batch of troops include: Shimi, Wei Zhi, Xu Maogong and Wang Bodang; The latter group includes Qin, Luo Cheng, Cheng and Dan. When pacifying Liu Wuzhou, I met the brave and helpless Weichi Gong. So he sneaked into Luoyang, deceived Qin, Luo Cheng and Cheng, and went to the account of the king of Qin together with himself and * * *. This is the so-called "four horses vote for Tang".

However, this statement is only found in the classic traditional opera "Four Horses in the Tang Dynasty" in Henan Province, which is inconsistent with historical facts and the popular writing method of "The Complete Biography of Tang People".

According to official records such as Zi Jian, there is no McCullough, only Luo Shixin; The correct spelling of Xu Maogong is Xu Maogong. After the failure of Wagangzhai and Luoyang, the eastern capital of Wang Zhengduo, Cheng, Luo Shixin, Dan, Pei, Pei and his son took refuge in the king. When the King of Qin marched eastward to Luoyang, Cheng, Luo Shixin suddenly defected and entered the village. This is "Sanma voted for the Tang Dynasty", which means nothing to Xu Maogong.

He wanted to commit suicide by drawing his sword, but finally he was persuaded by Zu, Wang Bodang, Xu Shiqi and others to vote in the Tang Dynasty.
