Chapter 265: Drinking to Quench Your Thirst

. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co

The next day, Li Shimin rushed to the shore of Luoshui early with only 3,000 Xuanjia troops and 10,000 horses.

From a distance, I saw a group of men and horses on the other side of the river hurrying to this side, with a richly decorated dragon chariot in front of it, followed by a soldier who could not see the end.

"In the end, it's the emperor's faction, and it's very inefficient to ramble." Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe, Ziyan, when Wang Shichong shows his head, you can talk to him on my behalf." Li Shimin nodded trustingly at Yuan Ziyan.

"No problem, I just have a question to ask this Wang Shichong!" Yuan Ziyan nodded solemnly.

The group of people on the opposite side finally came to the shore, the team was lined up, the momentum was amazing, Wei Chigong and the others couldn't help but worry, what if the other party rushed over without integrity.

Li Shimin didn't think so, although Luoshui was not very wide, but when the other party rushed over, his side had already run away, and an ambush had been set up in the rear, and Wang Shichong rushed over, then he really couldn't go back.

Wang Shichong and Li Shimin thought about it similarly, and they also hoped to provoke Li Shimin and let him cross Luoshui and throw himself into the net.

The curtain was lifted, and there was a person sitting on the dragon, dressed in a yellow robe, wearing a crown, with a full beard, and a little fat, very much like a king in a fairy tale, looking a little imposing.

Yuan Ziyan sneered, rode forward, and asked in a loud voice: "Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm?" ”

Wang Shichong was stunned, who is it, he still called his previous official position, squinted his eyes, and a pretty face came into view, he recognized this person, it was the most favored person of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, Yuan Ziyan!

Wang Shichong was startled, and hurriedly beckoned left and right: "Escort, escort." This person is the art of taking off, don't let her come close! ”

The archers immediately surrounded Wang Shichong, and even if a fly and mosquito flew over, they did not want to get close to the emperor. Wang Shichong felt more down-to-earth at this time, cleared his throat and shouted: "Who should I be, it turns out to be Lord Taishi Ling of the previous dynasty!" Lord Yuan, I haven't seen you for many years. There was no change in his face. It's as beautiful as ever, congratulations! ”

"Lord Wang, you look old! My hair and beard have turned more than half white. What a waste of this good garment! After Yuan Ziyan finished speaking, he caused a burst of laughter from the Xuanjia Army behind him.

Wang Shichong was very faceless, and said angrily: "Time has passed, Yuan Ziyan." Don't be rude! ”

"Oh, I almost forgot. You have taken possession of my eldest brother's palace by the strength of my eldest brother, and you have killed his son. Wang Shichong, I'm really curious, do you really have the courage of an ambitious leopard. How can I have the face to see my eldest brother after I die! Yuan Ziyan looked sarcastic.

Wang Shichong's beads of sweat came out, and he said with a red face: "I keep calling the first emperor the eldest brother, and I am still here to guard the eastern capital of Luoyang." It's good for you to take refuge in Li Tang. Completely betray the first emperor! ”

"Tut-tut, listen to this, Wang Shichong, your skin is thicker than the bend of the city wall, right?" After Yuan Ziyan finished speaking, he burst into laughter again.

"Presumptuous!" Wang Shichong was annoyed, stood up suddenly, pointed at Li Shimin and said: "If I am ungrateful, then what about Li Yuan's father and son, who are deeply favored by the emperor and do not think about reciprocating, Jinyang rebelled and forced the emperor's heir to death, what should I say?" ”

"It seems that the chat is very unpleasant, forget it, I can't argue with you, let's see you on the battlefield!" Yuan Ziyan waved his little hand.

Wang Shichong was stunned again, yes, obviously he came to ask for peace, why did he quarrel instead, and said loudly: "Please King Qin stepped forward to speak." ”

"I am the military advisor of the Tang Army, that is, the negotiator, if you have something to say, you can talk to me, our King of Qin is not accosting anyone." Yuan Ziyan blinked.

Wang Shichong's old face twitched violently, his teeth were gritted loudly, and he asked in a muffled voice: "In the past, the Central Plains was divided by three parties, Liu Wuzhou, Li Tang and our department, did not interfere with each other, and there was nothing to do with each other. It was Liu Wuzhou who couldn't bear it and harassed Li Tang, I didn't take advantage of the chaos to rob, I aimed to make friends, why did the Tang army suddenly attack, disturb my subjects, and occupy my city? ”

"My Majesty of the Tang Dynasty is determined to be in the four seas, and the whole world is not the king's land, you don't measure your strength, dare to stand in the way, naturally you have to get rid of it quickly!" Yuan Ziyan said coldly.

Good! Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but scream, what he said was really happy, and Li Shimin also nodded in approval.

Wang Shi was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he said: "I surrendered my identity and came to seek peace with Prince Li Tang with the respect of the emperor, which is quite sincere, why do you still have to work hard to force each other?" ”

There was some commotion on Li Shimin's side, Wang Shichong's implication was still a little disdainful of Li Shimin, neither a monarch, nor a prince, I, Wang Shichong, could say a few words to you, what a big face, I should make peace!

"You're right, our army is the royal guard, to put it bluntly, it's to listen and drink. Your Majesty let us fight wherever we wanted, and we really don't have any real power. ”

As soon as Yuan Ziyan's words fell, this time it was Wang Shichong's turn to laugh in unison, Li Shimin's face was a little gloomy, but Yuan Ziyan was not in a hurry, and waited for the other party to laugh enough, and then said: "So, Your Majesty just asked us to fight you, and we must defeat you, but Your Majesty never said that I want to make peace with you." Therefore, those of us who listen and drink can only continue to fight, but we dare not talk about peace! ”

"You?! You?! Wang Shichong finally couldn't sit still, jumped off the dragon, ran to the shore and said angrily: "What a sharp-toothed Yuan Ziyan, don't fall into my hands in the future!" ”

"Hmph, it's not going to be anything, just verbally threaten the military advisor, Wang Shichong, you don't have any sincerity at all, and there is no need to talk about it anymore. If you surrender at this time, you still have a way to live, otherwise when you go back, you will prepare to fight with all your strength, and at the same time, you will also make a coffin for yourself! Yuan Ziyan said unceremoniously.

Li Shimin waved his hand back, and the Xuanjia Army was like a black whirlwind, retreating backwards quickly, leaving no trace.

Wang Shichong was still stunned on the shore, I'll take it, Li Shimin didn't say a word, but was robbed of white by a yellow-haired girl for a long time.

It depends on the situation, Li Shimin has no intention of talking about peace at all, okay, just fight, see who can have the last laugh!

Wang Shi hummed and climbed onto the dragon chariot, urging him to hurry back and discuss countermeasures. I don't know if I haven't rested well recently, or if I'm dizzy, Wang Shichong took a nap on the way, and even dreamed of Yang Guang.

Yang Guang in the dream sat on the throne, looking at himself coldly, Wang Shichong's legs were weak, and he knelt down with a pop, trembling all over, and his heart was beating violently.

"Wang Shichong, don't be sleepy in Yanmen in the past, you led troops to support, I am grateful in my chest, and treat you very favorably, why did you rob my palace, harm my grandson, and occupy my Luoyang royal wife?!" Yang Guang asked in a loud voice.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, no, I, I am here, here ......"

Yes, what is Wang Shichong doing here, no, Yang Guang is dead, and Dongdu has already changed its master. So Wang Shi stood up with courage, put his hands behind his back and said stubbornly: "I have been proclaimed emperor, blessed by the Dragon God's protector, you are a soul in the netherworld, retreat quickly!" ”

"Haha, it's you who should retreat!"

Yang Guang got up suddenly, his feet off the ground and floated towards Wang Shichong. The speed was extremely fast, and there was a suction force to fix himself, Wang Shichong couldn't move, a pair of cold hands clamped his neck, Wang Shichong shouted in horror: "Escort, escort!" ”

I opened my eyes suddenly, but it was a dream, and the guards around me were looking at me with puzzled eyes, "What do you see!" ”

Wang Shichong shouted angrily, subconsciously rubbing his neck, still feeling a little painful. It must have been Yuan Ziyan who kept mentioning Yang Guang just now to have this nightmare, maybe he was cast a demon spell by this woman, and it is difficult to say.

Luoyang has become an isolated city, and food and grass are very scarce, so how can he be qualified to fight with Li Shimin again. As a last resort, Wang Shichong adopted the advice of the ministers and temporarily joined forces with Dou Jiande to deal with Li Shimin together.

At that time, after Dou Jiande disposed of Yu Wenhua and some of his property from Wang Bo, in order to preserve his strength, he chose to flee in the face of the attack of the Tang army, and established the Xia State, with a military strength of more than 100,000 people, and claimed to be 300,000 to the outside world.

When Dou Jiande received Wang Shichong's letter of peace, he was immediately overjoyed, and then there was a big banquet for the ministers, which was lively for three days and three nights, and the monarchs and ministers were all drunk.

It wasn't until the fifth day that Dou Jiande woke up and replied to Wang Shichong with a letter unhurriedly.

Roughly speaking, brother, who are the two of us, we have to join forces at a critical time. This is the elder brother who spoke first, in fact, this matter should be my brother's initiative, hey, it's a step slower.

Brother, don't worry, you definitely have to help with this!

Wang Shichong received the reply, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, if Wang Dou's two armies were united, Li Tang might not be the opponent, as long as he could defeat him, it would be a big victory.

As for how to pay Dou Jiande in the future, Wang Shichong hasn't thought about it yet, and he will take one step at a time. But Dou Jiande made up his mind, Li Tang broke up, and he will definitely not become a family in the future, of course, he and Wang Shichong are also competitors, and they can't talk about friendship.

The reason why Dou Jiande agreed to send troops to help each other was actually a delaying tactic, and when the two families fought to the death, he would make another move, which could not only drive away Li Shimin, but also occupy Wang Shichong's Luoyang by the way.

Wang Shichong's decision is tantamount to drinking to quench his thirst, how can he not understand the truth. However, Wang Shichong's idea is also very reasonable, that is, to stabilize Dou Jiande temporarily, don't let him take advantage of the chaos in the south and turn it back, if Dou Jiande and Li Tang become a rope, Wang Shichong will have no hometown to go back to.

In line with the attitude of taking advantage of each other, Wang Shichong still sent Dou Jiande some jewelry, which is not a treasure, but most of the things in the palace are not bad, and Dou Jiande is very satisfied.

I heard that the envoy said that Luoyang was short of grain and grass, and Dou Jiande also generously sent a few trucks over, which was not a heavy hemorrhage, but it was enough for Wang Shichong to last for ten days and half a month.

So, at this point, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande are walking together again. No matter what their thoughts were, what they all had in common was that they all regarded Li Tang as an enemy. (To be continued)
