Enlighten the Holy One! In the official office of Xingluo City, Fang Xuanling said: "More than half a month ago, Li Tang sent envoys to meet the King of Wei and invited the King of Wei to form an alliance with Li Tang to prevent the southern crossing of the Great Sui......

"With all due respect!" Before he could finish speaking, Yang Tong interrupted him, "Luoyang is Wang Shichong's territory, and Qingzhou is Dou Jiande's territory, are all these within the scope of your common defense?" ”

"That's not true, what we signed is that one side of the alliance is attacked by the Great Sui, and the other side needs to send troops to assist, as for Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's territory, it is not included, that is to say, we don't actually need to participate in the battle of Luoyang, but if the Great Sui attacks Bashu, Jingxiang, and Hongnong and Xiangcheng that Li Tang just conquered, we will send troops to defend the Great Sui." Fang Xuanzao said.

"What did you do by leaking your two secrets to me?" Yang Tong looked at Fang Xuanzao and said with a smile: "Could it be that Mr. Fang plans to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" If this is the case, then I am quite welcome, with the talent of Mr., the Great Sui Zhongshu Order, the subordinate servants can easily let it. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but the Holy One misunderstood!" Fang Xuanzao also knew that it was difficult to circumvent this problem, and he couldn't explain it clearly, because the Er Li Covenant was too targeted, and from the moment it was signed, it was already hostile.

How to convince Yang Tong to make him believe that Wei did not have the sincerity to be an enemy of the Great Sui was Fang Xuanzao's biggest headache, he thought about it for a long time along the way, and finally thought of a reason that was not a reason. He smiled bitterly and said: "It's not a secret, the King of Wei didn't want to form an alliance with Li Tang at all, but Li Tang put pressure on us and promised to give us hundreds of thousands of stones to save emergency food, and we were forced to agree to form an alliance with it in order to protect ourselves, but we actually didn't want to be an enemy of the Great Sui, so the lower officials came to explain one or two to the Holy Lord." ”

"I think I roughly understand what Li Mi means." Yang Tong understood, completely understood, he smiled and said: "Li Mi doesn't want to offend Li Tang, nor does he want to offend the Great Sui, but he doesn't want to be neutral, so he used the covenant to pit Li Yuan's grain, and at the same time, he was afraid of provoking the Great Sui, so Mr. Pai came to explain." Am I right? ”

"Exactly!" When Fang Xuanzao saw his clan brother sitting on the side and listening, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply admitted it, but he just met the clan brother's playful gaze, and his face was hot.

Yang Tong couldn't help laughing.

However, he was quite welcome to Li Mi's swaying left and right, because in this transaction, Li Mi curry favor with both ends, did not offend each other, and also got Li Tang's grain in peace. And since he knows the details of Li Tang, he can use this gap to make an article, it can be said that he is the biggest profiteer, but it is Li Tang who is unlucky.

Thinking of this, Yang Tong couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then what are your plans?" Or is there anything I need help with? ”

"Back to the Holy Place, King Wei's original plan was to go out of Dongjun and confront the army of the Great Sui Jijun. Of course, the King of Wei didn't really want to fight the Great Sui, but to find an excuse to avoid Luoyang, but the Great Sui was marching too fast, so we would garrison at the intersection of Chen Liu and Junyi next, and if the Holy Lord could let us deceive Li Tang, I would be grateful. Fang Xuanzao arched his hand and said.

Yang Tong thought for a while and said lightly: "I can cooperate with you, but Mr. also knows that there can only be one emperor in the world, and we will meet one day." There is no need to talk about friendship and human affection. Although you are not foreigners, you are also future enemies, so I hope that you will come up with enough benefits to impress me. ”

Fang Xuanzao also secretly admired that Yang Tong's "governing the country and valuing profit" is really too incisive, although it is only four words, and it is not a profound truth, but under the social atmosphere of villains valuing profits and gentlemen valuing righteousness, it is not easy for a generation of emperors to be able to say "governing the country and valuing profits" in a grand manner.

Fang Xuanzao pondered for a moment: "There are really not many of us who can get our hands on it. When we defeated Yu Wenhua, we seized a lot of priceless treasures! Except for some gold and silver to buy livestock from the Great Sui, we have not touched the rest of the property. If the Holy One does not dislike it, we are willing to give some. ”

Yu Wenhua's wealth is actually the wealth that Yang Guang brought to Jiangdu from Luoyang Ziwei Palace, and he transported hundreds of big ships, and there are hundreds of thousands of catties of gold alone, not to mention those priceless jewels and jade, rare and exotic objects, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, speaking of which, this is originally the old Yang family, and Yang Tong can accept it: "I don't know how much you plan to give me?" ”

Fang Xuanzao was overjoyed in his heart, as long as Yang Dong was willing to accept it, everything was easy to say, and hurriedly said: "King Wei is willing to take out half of it and return it to the saint." ”

"Jewelry, jade, rare and exotic objects, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, those are originally my royal things, plus 50,000 catties of gold." Yang Tong said this, and continued: "In addition, I have to add one more condition. ”

Fang Xuanzao sighed secretly in his heart, Yang Tong really had his own ideas, no matter how much wealth they gave, it was useless, he should have listened to his request first, but the lineup that Yang Tong put out was too huge.

Yang Tong occupies the northern land, there are countless talents to support, even if he is out of the army, he is still surrounded by fierce generals like clouds, strategists like rain, this absolute background is not Li Mi such a domain of heroes can be compared, under this majestic atmosphere, self-proclaimed Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged like a hillbilly, his mind was seriously suppressed, this is a wrong step, a wrong step.

After all, Fang Xuanzao is a person with excellent minds, and he soon understood that Yang Tong put up this lineup, completely disturbing his mind, but unfortunately his hole cards have appeared, and regret is useless, so he has no choice but to say: "Holy Lord, please say!" ”

"Li Yuan is not a fool, and there are countless capable people under his command, if he fakes a fight, I am afraid he will not be able to hide it. As for me, I originally wanted to take advantage of this battle to recover the seven counties of Dongjun, Jibei, Dongping, Jiyin, Liangjun, Yingchuan, and Huaiyang. Yang Tong said unhurriedly: "Mr. Fang knows that my Great Sui can force Li Shimin to withdraw his troops through Guanzhong and Bashu, and he also knows that my Great Sui can first use 100,000 troops to contain Li Shimin in Luoyang, so that he cannot extricate himself......

This is not a threat, but the fact also has this plan, since Yang Tong decided to go south, he is ready to move the defense line south, Dongjun, Jibei, Dongping and Jiyin four counties, Yang Tong is a sure to take, only in this way, can the south bank of the Yellow River be connected, in order to take Qingzhou unscrupulously.

Of course, Fang Xuanzao knew that Yang Tong had this strength, otherwise he would not have persuaded Li Mi hard to let him take advantage of the Sui and Tang wars to lead the main force south to develop. But along the way, he still found that he had underestimated the Great Sui army. On the way he stayed here from Chen, dense Sui soldiers could be seen everywhere, and even the county soldiers stationed in the small county town were comparable to Li Mi's elite existence, and it is said that these people were still the weaklings who had been eliminated, if they were replaced by more than 400,000 standing troops of the Tenth Army, what kind of terrifying existence would it be?

As soon as he thought of the hundreds of thousands of troops that far surpassed Wei in terms of numbers, combat power, and equipment, Fang Xuanzao felt creepy, which also strengthened his determination to persuade Li Mi to go south as soon as possible, because fighting on the plains, Li Mi had no chance of winning, and only the south with a water network could curb the overwhelming iron-blooded cavalry of the Great Sui.

The strength is there, so Yang Tong's words cannot be said to be a threat.

Seeing that Fang Xuanzao's face was cloudy, Yang Tong said with a smile: "There are many factions in the Wei army, presumably Li Mi also has a headache, and I think it is worth it to exchange a few counties that are destined to be undefended and destroyed, for a pure Wei army, as well as Li Yuan's absolute trust and a large amount of food." What does the gentleman think? ”

"The saint wants too much land, and the lower officials have no right to agree, and the lower officials go back to discuss with the king of Wei, once the king of Wei agrees, he will give the treasure and land as soon as possible." Fang Xuanzao knew that during the battle of Jingxiang, Li Mi repeatedly missed opportunities because of factional problems, and he also knew that Li Mi had dreamed of getting rid of these warlords, but he had no excuse and did not dare to eliminate them by himself. It's just that although he was moved by Yang Tong's words, he didn't have the right to decide, and he couldn't tell Yang Tong who he wanted to pout, after all, this kind of use of the enemy to eliminate dissidents was not honorable, and Li Mi had to nod his head.

"Li Mi is a smart man, and I know he will make wise choices." Yang Tong smiled meaningfully.

"This is also what the lower officials are looking forward to!" Fang Xuanzao smiled bitterly, Li Mi regarded some factions as appendages, and he would definitely agree to Yang Tong's request, which he was sure of. It's just that the territory given up still needs to be discussed, and what Yang Dong asked for was far beyond their bearing.

Yang Tong ordered: "Allocate twenty five-tooth boats to escort Mr. Fang back!" By the way, ten ships are empty. ”

"Thank you, Holy Lord!" The corner of Fang Xuanzao's mouth twitched, and he said goodbye and left.

……

Yang Tong was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Li Mi judged the situation and made the decision that was most beneficial to himself, on the contrary, I didn't think about winning over Li Mi!" Just thinking about using Duvowe to contain him. He's much better than me in this regard. ”

"It's not that Li Mi is more far-sighted than the saint, but the way for the weak to survive, if the saint and Li Mi are in a different place, they will rack their brains to survive." Fang Xuanling smiled slightly, and continued: "The Central Plains is the land of four wars, the Wei army has been consumed too much vitality over the years, if they occupy Qingxu, they can rely on the Yellow River in the north and the sea in the east, in order to ensure that the rear is safe, and then on the one hand, the people's livelihood will be rectified, and on the other hand, it can also develop to the west and south, even if it cannot win the world, but at least it is a big force on the side." ”

"They were delayed by 'those who won the Central Plains won the world', whether it was Zhai Rang or Li Mi, they both wanted to dominate the Central Plains, but in the end, they were both defeated with Yu Wenhua and Wang Shichong, resulting in today's decline. In fact, even Wang Shichong is the same. ”

"Looking back at Li Yuan, he was actually mistaken by the world in Guanzhong, although Guanzhong has the danger of four stops, but it is also a cage that makes people unable to see the outside world clearly, because of this, he is looking for big, when the state is not stable, that is, with Guanzhong as the center, the war will be waged in all directions, and finally when our army is advancing westward, even the reinforcements cannot be sent."

"What is Li Mi's intention?" Yang Tong smiled slightly bitterly, Li Yuan played the whole world like this in history.

Fang Xuanling was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "In the era when the world's heroes rose together, after more than ten years of big waves and sands, there is not much left, and now there are those who compete for hegemony in the world, none other than Da Sui, Li Yuan, and Li Mi, and the rest are not enough. Among the three, Li Mi is weak. Hebei and the Central Plains are not ...... And the south of the Yangtze River criss-crossed, fertile fields for thousands of miles, countless people, its terrain can block the benefits of my Great Sui Iron Cavalry, and today's Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Li Zitong are not wise masters, the people are rich and do not know how to stake, the wise man thinks of Mingjun, if Weichen is Li Mi, and wants to build a long-term imperial industry, must try to Jiangnan, and then in the Sui and Tang dynasties, seek survival and development... When the Sui and Tang dynasties are both defeated, they will try to Jingxiang again... Then follow the example of Sun and Wu to resist the weak, and the great cause can be expected. ”

Yang Tong nodded, and said with some concern: "Xuan Ling is extremely right, according to this, Du Fuwei is really in trouble. ”

Du Ruhui said: "Du Fuwei can't beat Li Mi, so he can flee west and go south." Moreover, if our army advances rapidly, it may not be able to decide the world in one battle. ”

Yang Tong smiled dumbly, "I have a lot of family affairs, but I am nosy, I really shouldn't be." ”

Pei Renji on the side arched his hand and said: "Saint, since Li Mi is the head of the rat, should Pei Xingyan's task be changed?" ”

Yang Tong nodded, and instructed Ling Jing: "Pass on a copy of this matter to Pei Xingyan, and then transfer 50,000 slave soldiers from the plains to him, so that he can prepare to advance west and recover Qingzhou." ”

"Holy!" Pei Renji said a little worriedly: "The scope of this battle is too large and too wide, and Weichen is worried that Xing Yan will not be able to bear such a heavy responsibility, so he suggests that the Holy Lord send a capable person to assist." ”

"As Shangshu says... Xing Yan really has no experience in commanding such a big battle..."Yang Tong hesitated for a moment, and then said to Du Ruhui: "Ke Ming immediately take a boat to the east to be Xing Yan's military advisor, and he must fight this battle well. ”

"Whoa." Du Ruyan bowed and responded.
