Chapter 365: Wang Shichong's decision

"Since ancient times, in addition to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, there is only you, the prince, who not only understands that the surrounding alien races are the biggest threat to the Central Plains, but also only you are willing to spare no effort to pull out the threat! It's really admirable to the general! Gao Kan sighed and sighed.

"Emperor Qin's 400,000 troops guard the Great Wall! 600,000 troops under 100 Yue! The elite of Guanzhong is exhausted, which gives the descendants of the Six Nations an opportunity to take advantage of! Take advantage of the momentum; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exerted all his national strength to expel the Xiongnu and eliminate the great calamity in the north! The prince's treatment of the Turks will inevitably be remembered by future generations! Xin Yue'e swallowed her saliva, held her chin with both hands, and looked at Zou Yu with confused eyes and said.

It was the first time that Zou Yu had been looked at with admiration so unabashedly, although his heart was a little dark, but the eldest brother was still here, so he had to pay attention to it.

Xinyue's eagerness to immediately throw herself into her arms and hug, as a person who came over, not only Gao Kan could see it, but also the always careless Xin Wenli, but he felt happy.

To put it mildly, although Xin Wenli has a somewhat impulsive personality, he is not informal, and he is also loyal to the object of allegiance, and there is nothing else wrong with it, the only problem is that he is a bit of an official fan, and he always wants to climb higher, so he is very happy to see Xin Yue'e fall in love with Zou Yu.

"Ahem! Cough! Recently, Li Shimin has been chasing Wang Shichong's people, which has caused him a lot of losses, and it is estimated that he will not be able to hold on. Zou Yu coughed embarrassedly twice and changed the subject.

"In the past three days, Wang Shichong has arrested five people who want to surrender to Li Shimin and executed their entire family. Gao Kan introduced. Sending the ancient books out of the Luoyang territory was handed over to Dongfang Yumei to be responsible, and Zhang Gongjin also accompanied the transportation of grain and grass and brought 5,000 people to the city, but he was disguised and did not let people know that it was him.

"Lord, should we do something?" Zhang Gongjin asked.

"I'll test it tomorrow! The most difficult point is how to retire Li Shimin while forcing Wang Shichong away! Zou Yu thought for a moment and said.

"Yes! Li Shimin is definitely willing to continue to let Wang Shichong occupy Luoyang, and he is not willing to occupy the prince! Gao Kan nodded.

"That's easy, too! Didn't the prince just say that the grassland war was over? There is no need to really fight, Tongguan, Puzhou, as long as the troops are transferred to display the border, it is enough to make Li Yuan afraid! Presumably Li Shimin will definitely be under pressure!

As long as he has guarded Li Shimin's last madness, he will naturally retire! Zhang Gongjin suggested.

"Having said that, the most difficult thing is how to defend the city! If it's just an ordinary city, with more than 10,000 people now, plus the people left in the city at that time, they can hold on for a while, but Luoyang City is too big, and it is very difficult to completely defend it! Gao Kan frowned.

"I have already sent a message to Luo Shixin to bring 10,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry to come in the starry night, and Youzhou and Yizhou will send 10,000 people to transport grain and grass! In this way, there will be enough soldiers and horses and grain and grass at that time! It's just that you have to cooperate well at this time! Zou Yu introduced.

Originally, the people who were left in Youzhou and other places came to guard against Dou Jiande, and at the same time, they were mainly worried about changes in the war situation on the grassland! Now that the battle on the steppe is over, it is natural to use the reserve forces!

"Then there is no problem! Li Shimin couldn't attack it for a long time, and the prince proposed to each other to have their current territory! It is enough for us to keep the old and new Luoyang City! Zhang Gongjin suggested.

"Hmmm! There are eight levels in Luoyang, and three levels are enough! Don't do the rest of the place! The key is that Luoyang can't let them occupy it! Zou Yu nodded in agreement.

continued to discuss, added details, arranged for manpower to receive reinforcements, and at the same time stepped up the investigation of Li Shimin's arrangements.

The next day, Zou Yu hadn't gone to find Wang Shichong, so Wang Shichong took the initiative to come to the door! Wang Fatzi, who was originally calm and calm, and was so fat that the whole world celebrated, now his eyes are deep-set, bloodshot, and he feels a little shaky when he walks, as if he has been destroyed day and night, and has never stopped.

"King Tang! Can you let your men help defend the rest of the place? There are only more than 30,000 people left in my people, and most of the 30,000 people in the most elite are dead, and there are less than 10,000 intact ones. Wang Shichong asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's not that the king is unwilling! You have also seen that as long as my people go, Li Shimin will change places! That's all there are in this city! They couldn't be faster! Even if a certain subordinate is running back and forth, he is just tired of running! It's just useless! Zou Yu spread his hands and said as if I was also helpless.

"I mean, the prince asked your subordinates to take off that iconic iron armor..."

"No! How could they be allowed to take off their iron armor and defend the city! Isn't this a death for nothing? How could this king take their lives as a child's play! Without waiting for Wang Shichong to finish speaking, Zou Yu immediately refused strongly.

"This..."I didn't expect Zou Yu to be so blunt and refuse his suggestion without giving face, no one dared to oppose him for a long time, Wang Shichong's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of anger, but it was just a flash, after all, he also knew that Zou Yu was not something he could order.

As the emperor, Wang Shichong's mentality has changed dramatically, the court is public, there are many guards beside the two, Wang Shichong raised his voice a little annoyed and said: "Tang Wang didn't think it! If the widow is defeated, Luoyang City will be surnamed Zou! ”

Wang Shichong's meaning, you can't hold it even if I lose, and at the same time, with a hint of threat, if you dare to yin me, I will dare to let Li Shimin enter the city.

Zou Yu was threatened, and he was also a little unhappy, his eyes were half-narrowed, and the murderous intent flashed, and he looked at Wang Shichong and said: "I don't know what Luoyang's surname will be in the future, but it's too easy to let him not have the surname Wang." ”

"I know that you Zou Changfeng are here, and you don't have a good heart!" Wang Shichong stared at Zou Yu and said through gritted teeth.

"This king didn't expect that it was a white-eyed wolf who came to the rescue! It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs! Zou Yu snorted coldly.

"I need you to save me! If you don't add fuel to the fire, thank goodness! Wang Shichong sneered.

"Then you can guard it yourself!" Since he tore his face, Zou Yu didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he brushed his sleeves and left.

"Luoyang is also where you can come if you want to, and you can leave if you want!" Wang Shichong couldn't help but be angry when he saw that Zou Yu didn't save face at all, and he wanted to let go.

"When? Dangdang! The sound of the knife being drawn out of the sheath sounded, and Wang Shichong's personal guards immediately surrounded him.

Of course, Zou Yu's side will not show weakness, the Fang family brothers, who never left the palace, immediately took twenty ironclad guards and stood next to Zou Yu, and Fang Zhi handed over the double sticks.

Zou Yu took the double stick, and as soon as he closed his hands, it became a long stick, and then inserted it into the ground.

"Bang!" With a bang, the bluestone cracked, and Zou Yu smiled coldly: "You also want to keep this king!" You think this king is just as a waste as you! ”

Wang Shichong's eyes shrank, and then he remembered that Zou Yu himself was strong in force, compared to him who had been completely abandoned in the past few years, it was impossible to say the same, but now he is difficult to ride a tiger, of course, he will not show weakness, and he couldn't help but order angrily: "Liu Shili, take them down for me!" ”

"Stop! Stop! At this moment, a voice sounded anxiously, and then I saw Wang Shichong's Situ Duanda, and rushed over.

"Your Majesty! Tang Wang! If you have something to say, you have something to say! Duan Da walked to the middle and arched his hands on both sides.

"Humph! Your emperor is going to turn his face, no wonder this king! Zou Yu sneered angrily.

"The prince is angry!" Duan Da said with a smile, then turned his head and said to Wang Shichong: "Your Majesty, peace is precious, and it is the right thing for everyone to discuss how to retreat from the enemy first." ”

Of course, Wang Shichong didn't dare to really turn his face with Zou Yu, just now he was just annoyed and angry, and when he got down the stairs, he waved his hand and asked Liu Shili to lead people to retreat.

Of course, Zou Yu didn't want to fight with him, so he handed the long stick to Fang Zhi and waved them back as well.

"Lord Wang! You see Li Shimin attacking so strongly, what should I do? Duan Da asked with a smile.

"This is the case of Situ Ke asking the wrong person! So-and-so is so a little bit of a person! What can be done? The war in the steppe has never ended, and I heard that Jieli Khan has transferred another 100,000 troops! I want to go back to preside over the overall situation in the near future. Zou Yu shook his head and said.

"What!" Wang Shichong's face changed and he exclaimed.

Of course, he was not worried about the Turks, but heard that Zou Yu wanted to withdraw his troops.

"Now it seems that since you can't hold it anymore, I still have to plan early! Otherwise, it would not be good to be blocked in the city by Li Shimin. Looking at Wang Shichong's uncertain face, Zou Yu continued with a dark refreshment.

"Don't! Lord Wang, if you withdraw, Li Shimin will have no worries, I'm afraid..."Duan Da hurriedly persuaded, and said Finally, he glanced at Wang Shichong and swallowed back the words behind. However, the meaning of his words was clear, this meant that Zou Yu was gone, and Wang Shichong couldn't hold it anymore.

Being so despised by his subordinates, Wang Shichong's face turned even darker, but he was also afraid that Zou Yu would leave, so he could only hold back the fire.

"Is there really no chance at all?" The inner history that came with Duan Da asked the eldest grandson An Shi.

"Liu Heimin is blocked out of the Tiger Prison! The soldiers and horses that were separated were also repelled by the men and horses from Shuzhong! What else can be done! Up to now, this king and Dou Jiande have been regarded as benevolent and righteous. Zou Yu said half-truthfully.

It is not wrong for the Tiger Prison to block Dou Jiande's men and horses, but the soldiers and horses still achieved certain results, Li Shimin is under a lot of pressure, but Wang Shichong is now where he can still take care of the situation outside, so he is not clear.

"Your Majesty! It's better to break through! Duan Da persuaded him. He knew that neither Li Yuan nor Zou Yu had a good impression of him, and even if he surrendered, it would be impossible for him to be in a high position, so he could only go all the way to the dark with Wang Shichong.

"Where else can I go?" Wang Shichong said lonely.

"JAC? The Jianghuai region is the place where His Majesty started, go back to recruit soldiers, and make a comeback. Duan Da's eyes lit up and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Jianghuai still has your clan power, and it is easier to gain a foothold. The eldest grandson An Shi followed.

"How can Du Fuwei see us go back and fight with him for Jianghuai!" Wang Shichong hesitated.

"This..."Duan Da hesitated, looked at Zou Yu, and stopped talking.

"Counsel! With the result, tell the king. Zou Yu didn't stay, said a word, turned around and left.

Walking farther, Zou Yu said without looking back: "Send someone to keep an eye on Wang Shichong's people!" Be careful that they don't say goodbye! ”

"Hmm!" Fang Zheng was expressionless, but responded in a nasal voice.

"Your Majesty! Although Du Fuwei's power is good, it is still easier to deal with than Li Shimin! What's more, Du Fuwei still has Xiao Miao, a neighbor, he doesn't dare to set up too many enemies. When Zou Yu couldn't see the figure when he left, Duan Da whispered.

"Fu Gongyou has always been dissatisfied that he is only a second-in-command, and His Majesty can secretly contact him, support him to ascend to the throne, and get rid of Du Fuwei." The eldest grandson, An Shi, suggested.

"That's fine! Pack up, take only your henchmen, and wait for my orders! Break out. Wang Shichong himself is already a master of the six gods, and now after listening to their advice, he suddenly felt reasonable, thought about it and gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes!" Duan Da and the eldest grandson An Shi hurriedly bowed, glanced at each other, and then said at the same time: "The minister retires!" ”

"Go ahead!" Wang Shichong waved his hand, and then stood in place, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long while, Wang Shichong came back to his senses and said, "Liu Shili! ”

"The last general!" Behind Wang Shichong, the generals of the guards stepped forward with their knives and responded with their fists clenched.

"How do I treat you?" Wang Shichong asked.

"Your Majesty's kindness will be remembered in the end." Liu Shili replied.

"Well, I'll give you a chance to repay me!" Wang Shichong said.

"Your Majesty, please give an order!" Liu Shili asked without changing his face.

"I want to break through, but someone must contain Li Shimin! I can't let him know that I want to leave, and the guards of Luoyang City need someone I can trust to lead, otherwise I will surrender as soon as I leave on the front foot. Wang Shichong explained.

"Your Majesty wants to break through as an ordinary general?" Liu Shili asked.

"Not bad! I only took the crown prince and 10,000 elites to leave! Tell the outside world to go out of the city to receive reinforcements! You only need to drag Li Shimin for three days, and then you can decide for yourself! Wang Shichong replied.

"The last will obey! Even if it's death! will definitely drag Li Shimin for three days! Liu Shili solemnly clenched his fists and assured.

"Very good!" Wang Shi nodded meaningfully, then patted Liu Shili on the shoulder and said, "My safety will be handed over to you." ”

Although he knew that he had been abandoned, Liu Shili still hugged his fists and responded without complaint: "Huh! ”

"Go ahead! You also go and arrange the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace, and use it to recruit more people to defend the city! Wang Shichong nodded.

Wang Shichong seems to be generous, but in fact, this makes Liu Shili quite speechless, gold, silver and jewelry, which he obviously can't take away, so he gave it to himself, and the grain and grass he needs the most are not mentioned.

However, Liu Shili still didn't say anything, just hugged his fists again and responded: "Oh! Then he took a few henchmen and left.
