Yang Tong seems to be willful, but it is definitely a good opportunity to send troops, Liang Shidu, the anti-head king's soldiers, will not be strong until a big battle.

Yang Tong sent an army of 150,000 led by Li Jing, plus an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 Turks, which was purely bullying, and this was not enough, he then asked Wencheng, Longquan, Lishi, and Loufu County guards to lead the defenders to the east bank of the Yellow River, and put on a posture of attacking the two counties of Diaoyin and Yan'an.

And Li Yuan doesn't have to worry about it, he is indeed as Yang Gongren said now: the elite is exhausted, the prestige of the troops, and the combat strength of the army are at a low point, he is now bent on developing westward, and he is fighting with Xue Ju vigorously, if he doesn't fight him, he will be blessed, how dare he dare to conduct a multilateral battle stupidly?

However, Yang Tong still made some arrangements in Hedong County, and ordered Yang Shanhui, the commander of Hanoi County, to lead 20,000 troops to garrison Fenyin County, Hedong, and put on a posture of crossing the river to attack Feng Yi and Hancheng County; Then let Pei Ren, the commander of Hedong County, build a strong camp that could accommodate 50,000 people on the other side of Pujin Pass.

And in the south of Zhongtiao Mountain in Hedong County, there is a long and narrow strip of more than 200 miles in the south of Zhongtiao Mountain, this section has Ruicheng County and Hebei County in Hedong, Fenglingjin Ferry is in the southwest of Ruicheng County, and Hebei County is in the east of Ruicheng County. So Yang Tong asked Chengyao Junsu of Hedong County to lead 20,000 troops to build a water village in Fenglingdu, Ruicheng, and put on a posture of crossing the river to attack Tongguan on the other bank.

After such an arrangement, Hedong County, which had 70,000 troops, formed a coercion on Feng Yi County in Guanzhong, one is to prevent Li Yuan from taking risks to aid Liang Shidu, and the other is to make him unable to fight Xue Ju and Li Liang with peace of mind; the third is to disgust Li Yuan from time to time, which makes Guanzhong turbulent and unable to live with peace of mind; If Li Yuan is careless, Yang Tong doesn't mind entering the customs to get rid of Lao Li's family.

……

Everything was arranged, and then Wang Shichong's envoy was received in the main hall of Chaoyang.

Wang Shichong's envoy is his nephew Wang Renze, this person wears a white robe, tall and burly, like Wang Shichong, has the appearance of a Hu person, and his slender eyes make people feel very cold, under the leadership of Wei Yunqi, he walked into the side hall and bowed down to salute, "The envoy of the Eastern Capital Zheng and Wang Ren see His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”

"You're Wang Shichong's nephew."

Wang Ren nodded hurriedly and said, "It's the young general!" I came to meet His Highness on the orders of my uncle. ”

"Sit down! Serve tea! ”

Yang Tong ordered Wang Ren to sit down.

Wang Ren smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, I can't drink tea." ”

Yang Tong smiled, "Go and bring two bowls of buttermilk." ”

The soldiers went out, and Yang Tong smiled and said, "General Wang has been in Jiangdu and Dongdu for a few years, can't he drink tea?" ”

Wang Ren said: "I have been accustomed to buttermilk and mare's milk wine since I was a child, and it is okay to put oil and salt in the tea soup, but it is really not good to make tea like His Royal Highness." ”

"It's hard to change habits." Yang Tong greeted him slightly, and then asked him: "General Wang sent you to see me, what is the matter?" ”

Wang Ren hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Jia heard that His Royal Highness angrily beheaded more than 1,000 children of the Shi clan, if His Royal Highness has a life, Uncle Jia is willing to do it for him!" ”

Yang Tong smiled faintly: "Your uncle is shrewd like a ghost, he just wants to use the banner of this king to exclude dissidents, if I agree, he will get the real benefits, but the notoriety will be carried by me, and I think it is beautiful." ”

Wang Renze's face turned red, and he was about to explain something, but he heard Yang Tong say again: "You have been in Luoyang for so long, and the scholar clan still doesn't support your Wang family?" ”

Wang Ren was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The scholar clan pays attention to the orthodoxy of bloodline, and even His Royal Highness was taken away by them to stay in the Eastern Capital, how can they afford to look down on the Wang family from the Hu people?" It used to be better, but now because of the food and salary problem, my uncle and Yuan Wendu, Pei Shiqing, Wei Jin, and Zheng Renji are already on the same page! Emperor Tai listened to their slander, and now he did not give the army a grain of food at all, which was extremely infuriating, without the soldiers desperately, Luoyang had already been broken, and now as soon as the crisis disappeared, they began to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and the soldiers were very dissatisfied and their morale was very low. If Li Miyi or Yu Wenhua hit Luoyang, they don't know what to do. ”

Yang Tong smiled slightly, this content is the same as what Pei Shiqing said, but each has its own reason! However, according to him, Wang Shichong should have the upper hand now, and said curiously: "What are they doing now?" ”

"The first is to follow the example of the first emperor, select brave men from the people, and re-form the Guoyi Army with 20,000 people. This incident made a lot of trouble in the army, and the soldiers thought that the lack of food and salary of the Emperor Tai was just an excuse, and that it was true that they did not trust themselves and did not trust the combat strength of the soldiers. ”

"Secondly, it is to send envoys Gai Cong and Ma Gongzheng to recruit Li Mi and Dou Jiande. appointed Li Mi as Tai Lieutenant, Shang Shuling, and King of Wei; Appointed Dou Jiande as Taifu, Neishi Ling, and King Lu! The soldiers fought countless battles with the Wagang thieves led by Li Mi, killing his father, brothers and children, and there were already a lot of them! Now that Li Mi has become Shang Shuling, we have all become his subordinates, and if Li Mi takes office, we people will have no way to live. ”

Yang Tong understood.

Wang Shichong was ready to do Dong Zhuo's thing, but because he had hoarded nearly 100,000 elite troops in Hedong and Hanoi, he was worried that he would send troops to interfere with his free hands, so he sent Wang Renze to probe the situation.

For him Yang Tong, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu no matter how messy you are in Luoyang, and you are happier to kill Yang Qi Lao Tzu, who has no brotherhood with Lao Tzu.

But if you want Lao Tzu to agree, Wang Shichong must pay a certain price, this kind of God-given blackmail opportunity, of course Yang Tong will not miss it, he said slowly: "Wang Shichong's real intention is nothing more than to hope that I will not interfere in Luoyang's, I can agree, but I have conditions!" ”

"Your Highness, please."

Wang Ren was overjoyed, and this was the main purpose of his trip. Uncle Wang Shichong made him have to win Yang Tong's promise not to interfere in Luoyang, and he was also eager to succeed, now it depends on what conditions Yang Dong proposes, if the conditions can make both parties happy, it is undoubtedly a key step in forming an alliance.

Yang Tong did not rush to answer, but observed Wang Renze, he needed to capture Wang Shichong's deeper purpose from it, and after a while, from Wang Renze's anxiety, he saw that Wang Shichong had high hopes for Wang Renze's envoy.

Wang Renze is now like a mirror, reflecting Wang Shichong's shadow, which makes Yang Tong understand that the so-called 'non-interference in Luoyang's internal affairs' is an excuse, and Wang Shichong's real intention is to form an alliance with himself to gain support.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to see Wang Shichong's predicament and anxiety at this time, once Li Mi enters Luoyang, the unlucky one is not Yang Qi, who is similar to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but the Wang family who tried to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so they must control Luoyang before Li Mi returns.
