In front of the towering, tall, solemn and majestic Dugu Mansion, Dou Wei paced back and forth, since the establishment of Li Tang, the two families have gradually drifted apart for their own interests. But at this time, his mind was not on Dugu's gate, but as a Guanlong person, he talked to Dugu about the serious threat to the interests of the Guanlong Group.

The door opened, Dugu Cheng walked out quickly, and saluted apologetically: "Xiangguo personally came to the door, it is the honor of my Dugu family, please!" ”

"Brother Chengxian is polite!"

Dou Wei and Dugu Cheng exchanged a few words and entered the mansion. When he arrived in the room, Dou Wei asked in a straight and low voice: "I won't beat around the bush anymore, just ask the virtuous brother, how is Dugu Xiangguo's body?" Is it easy to meet? ”

Dugu Cheng understood what Dou Wei meant, and said with a wry smile: "The head of the family is really sick, it's okay to see him, but he can only talk to Dou Xiangguo on the bed." ”

Dou Wei sighed and said, "I made it, but the stakes are so high that I have to come to disturb it." ”

"The head of the family is very aware of the current situation, and he also wants to talk to Dou Xiangguo!" As he spoke, he walked briskly to Dugu's room.

After meeting, Dou Wei went straight to the point and said: "The voice of moving the capital is endless, I don't know what Dugu Xiangguo thinks?" ”

Dou Wei's words drew a moment of silence. There was no expression on Dugu's old face. But I thought in my heart: Even Dou Wei's identity can't hold his breath? At this moment, he didn't expect what happened to him before he made a plan.

Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, nothing more than that.

Dou Wei knew that Dugu was still wary of himself, and if he wanted to pry open the mouth of this old fox, he had to show sincerity, and immediately said: "The Sui army is coming to the city, the people of Chang'an are panicking, and there are no reinforcements outside!" Guard, it must be impossible to hold. Yang Tong's ambition to completely eliminate our Guanlong Group is already known to passers-by, once Chang'an City is broken, he will not hesitate to attack us, and we don't even have a chance to fight back. Staying in Guanlong and Chang'an, we will roll our heads, therefore, I think it is necessary to move the capital. ”

Today it was Li Yuan who asked him to investigate the Dugu clan, and it was also Dou Wei's intention.

"Let's be honest, we were talking about it just now!" Dugu Quan sighed slightly, "We have supported the Holy Lord since Yang Guang moved the capital to Luoyang, escorted him, and survived many difficulties for him!" To this day, we have done so much for him. It's just that the Holy One is really disappointing. Because everything today is completely the result of the saint's step-by-step mistakes. My Datang has nothing but a Chang'an in Guanlong, and Datang has no choice but to move the capital! Our Guan Long family also has no choice. And there is - once you leave Guanlong... What are we going to do? What if he ruthlessly abandons us? ”

Dugu knows very well what to say and what not to say, so naturally he will not tell Dou Wei to the bottom. Since childhood, the people in the family have instilled the concept of family first, and everything is based on the interests of the family. None of the country's affairs in the world is as real as the interests of the family. Therefore, Dugu Quan's statement is very in line with the style of the family.

"That's what I'm worried about!" Dou Wei pondered for a moment and said, "I mean: after moving south, our two factions in Guanlong will unite and unite with the outside world. ”

"What does Dou Xiangguo mean is that the power of the Guanlong nobles will confront the Kanto and Southern Shi clans?" Dugu asked quietly.

Dou Wei nodded solemnly, "That's exactly what it means." ”

"I think it can!" Dugu also made a clear statement

After Dou Wei got Dugu's attitude, he didn't stay long, and left after a few words of greeting. After Dugu waited for him to leave, he kept silent, thinking about Dugu Cheng's suggestion and feasibility.

Not long after, Dugu Cheng, who had sent Dou Wei away, came back quickly and asked, "Family master, the attitude of the Dou family is a little weird!" Knowing that it was imperative to move the capital, why did they unite with us to oppose the southern faction that represented Li Yuan's interests? ”

Dugu sighed and said, "The Dou family's expenditure on Li Yuan is only a lot more than ours. Everyone has paid so much, and no one is willing to fail. Moreover, the Dou family suffered from not having a way to go to Sui, of course they wanted to get it back from Li Yuan! ”

"What should we do, master? Is it united with the Dou family? ”

"United, of course united." Dugu nodded, and said in a very cold tone: "When we get to the south, we will bring back what we have lost from the south, even if Li Yuan fails, it is fate, and we have to spit out our efforts!" ”

……

With the loss of Fengyi, Shangjun, Beidi, Anding, Tianshui, Longxi, Jincheng, Caohan, Dohe, Hanyang, and Hechi...... With the large-scale entry of the Sui army, the encirclement was contracted...... With the arrival of all kinds of unfavorable news, Li Yuan vomited blood again and again and became seriously ill.

But in less than three days, the bad news was frequent.

The Jin king Li Shimin's crushing defeat was in Lintao, 150,000 elite and 150,000 Tuntian troops, only more than 10,000 defeated troops retreated into Danchang County;

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, has 80,000 elites, and only 3,000 are left to return to Chang'an!

Li Shuliang, the king of Changping County, died in battle!

Fufeng, the Great Earthquake Pass, and the Scattered Pass were lost, the west gate of the Guanzhong was directly opened, and the 100,000 cavalry of the West Route Army of the Sui Dynasty and the Sui Army of the East Road joined under the city of Chang'an, and there were more Sui troops from the west to suppress the city.

Li Tang and Ye fell into an extremely uneasy panic, Li Tang officials were in danger, and few people had the heart to handle official business. Some people take long vacations indefinitely, even those who went to court get together to discuss the current predicament, and everyone is worried about their future and fate.

Chang'an City is full of wind and rain, the wind is loud, the people are panicking, the price of grain is rising wildly, and the rice is as high as the same money, and it is still rising. Despite this, there is a long queue of rice buyers in front of the large and small grain stores in Chang'an East City and West City day and night. Everyone in the city knew that the siege was about to break out, and at this time, food was above all else, and food was life.

In the Chang'an Manna Temple, a voice of anger mixed with fear sounded.

"Pass the order, immediately gather an army of 150,000, I will fight with Yang Tong, either he will die, or I will die."

I saw Li Yuan holding a sword in his hand, grief-stricken and rushing outside, Li Jiancheng, Li Xiaogong and others were pulling anxiously.

"Holy Lord, calm down." On the side, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda and others were anxious to persuade.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops are coming to the city, how can I be calm? I and Yang Tong don't share the sky. Li Yuan roared.

"The Holy One is right! Not only sent 150,000 troops......" I saw Liu Wenjing walking in from outside with a serious face.

"Zhaoren?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"Liu Xiangguo, what do you say? Our army is all ordinary people who have been forcibly conscripted, how can they be the opponents of the Sui army? 150,000 seems like a lot, but it only takes 10,000 Sui troops to break through with a single charge. Li Xiaogong was anxious.

"The lord humiliated the ministers to death, and the saint was repeatedly insulted by that Yang Tong, it was the fault of our courtiers, he Yang Tong unscrupulously killed the generals of our army, and he was ruthless, can't I be in the Tang Dynasty? Shengshang, we must not let Yang Dong underestimate my Tang Dynasty, let alone be afraid of war because Yang Dong's soldiers are approaching the city. ”

Liu Wenjing ignored the anxiety of Li Xiaogong and the others, and continued to say viciously: "No matter how powerful Yang Tong is, he is only a child of about twenty, so why should the saint be afraid? You can fight with him, and the saint will slash him in front of the battle with a sword, and everything will be solved? ”

"Fight with Yang Tong?" Li Yuan's pupils shrank.

The others were also shocked, with an incredible, incredulous look on their faces.

It is true that Yang Tong is the king of Qin and the de facto emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and it is not false that he is the highest military commander of the Sui Dynasty; But Yang Tong is brave and good at fighting, and often takes the head of the general among the ten thousand armies, which can be called a figure in the level of fierce generals, so that the emperor and Yang Dong will fight generals? Isn't it looking for death?

According to Liu Wenjing's concept, as long as Yang Tong calls out all the princes of the world to fight alone, he will be the lord of the world, why is it so troublesome?

After a period of silence, Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "Liu Xiangguo, what are you doing here?" ”

Looking at Li Yuan, who was gradually calming down, Liu Wenjing sighed: "Holy Lord, what the minister said is the truth, if you want to fight, the minister swears to follow!" As long as the Holy Majesty gives the order to go out, the big war will break out in an instant, and the change will end in an instant! The winner is the king and the loser, how easy is this? ”

"What about me? What can we do now? Li Yuan let out a long sigh

"While the Sui army has not yet closed the siege, evacuate Chang'an immediately! Then contact the princes and make a comeback. Liu Wenjing said solemnly.

"This!" Li Yuan gradually calmed down, and there was a strong unwilling look on his face.

"Father, the son agrees with Liu Xiangguo's meaning. In fact, as early as when the Sui Dynasty took away Yongbei, Chen Xiangguo had already said that Chang'an was no longer suitable to be the national capital. Li Jiancheng knows his father's mind very well, he actually wanted to move the capital for a long time, but at least seventy percent of the officials of the Li Tang Dynasty were from Guanlong, so he didn't dare to implement it. Otherwise, they would not agree to let Li Yuanji go south to operate.

What's more important is that now is the best time to move the capital, if Chang'an is broken, the Guanlong nobles will die, so they dare not oppose the relocation of the capital. I wouldn't even think that Li Yuan abandoned them, because this was forced by the situation, and Li Yuan had to move the capital. In this way, there will naturally be no internal opposition, and even if there is, it is a very small number of people who can't cause wind and waves, if these people don't want to go, they can stay and see how Yang Tong cleans them up.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Pei Lin expressed their support without hesitation! The Guanlong area is the territory of the Guanlong aristocracy, they are restricted everywhere, and they wish to leave early, and now that they have such a good reason, they naturally will not object.

"Dugu Xiangguo, Dou Xiangguo, what do you think?" Li Yuan's gaze looked at the two leaders of the Guanlong nobles.

Dugu took a breath slowly, although the situation was out of control, Li Yuan's urgency still hurt him deeply.

Although the hatred is full, it can only be taken to heart. Because the Dugu family is powerful, it is still relatively small compared to Li Yuan, the defeated emperor, and it is only for an instant to destroy their Dugu family, he was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Now that the matter is now, I can only move the capital to the south and lie down to taste the courage." ”

"The minister is also in favor!" Dou Wei also said.

But whether to move the capital or not seems to be up to them.

"Enlighten the Holy One! The Nine Gates of Chang'an were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Sui regiments. At this moment, a guard hurried to the play.
