In the Zheng Guogong Mansion, a middle-aged man with dark complexion and green eyes sat on a chair, his face gloomy, and a pair of turquoise eyes stared at the little eunuch kneeling in front of him like a ghost.

This person was Wang Shichong, the owner of the Zhengguo Mansion, and beside him stood two strong men with big shoulders and thick waists, namely his nephews Wang Renze and Wang Yanzhang.

It didn't take long for Wang Shichong to say in a hoarse voice: "Gonggong Zhao, what you said is true, Lu Chuyuan, Wendu and others really persuaded His Majesty to recruit An Li Mi to deal with Gu?" ”

Gonggong Zhao nodded vigorously and said anxiously: "Gonggong Zheng, how could I lie to you?" I was waiting outside the main hall at the time, and I clearly heard Lu Chu suggest that His Majesty recruit Li Mi, crown him as a lieutenant and Shang Shuling, and use the army in his hands to deal with Zheng Gong! ”

"Bastard!"

Wang Yanzhang scolded angrily on the side: "What are these bastards thinking, we have been fighting with Li Mi for so many years, and the soldiers who died in the hands of the Wagang Army have exceeded 100,000, and they finally ran away, they actually planned to lure him back, what are the children of this group of families in their heads, is it mush?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled bitterly, "Our Wang family is from a low background, Lu Chu and Yuanwen have always looked down on us, and they were originally afraid that the Wagang army would enter the city and their lives would be guaranteed." Li Mi has now suffered a defeat and knows that Luoyang Jiancheng is difficult, so he has the thoughts of this group of children of the family. After all, in the eyes of this group of children of the family, Li Mi is much more noble than me, Wang Shichong, the son of Hu Shang. ”

"Uncle is right!" Wang Ren on the side suddenly spoke: "Last night, someone came to report that he saw Li Mi's confidant Fang Yanzao, but he lived in Lu Chu's mansion, Lu Chu was the prime minister of the dynasty, so his nephew didn't dare to search and arrest people!" ”

"Humph!"

Wang Yanzhang slammed his fist on the table with hatred, "We are fighting bloodily in the front, but they are making peace with the thieves in the rear, which is unbearable, it is better to strike first than to sit and wait for death!" ”

"Yanzhang, be cautious!"

Wang Shichong glared at Wang Yanzhang, so frightened that Wang Yanzhang closed his lips tightly and didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Uncle, I think what Yanzhang said is reasonable!"

Wang Ren bit his lip and said, "Yuan Wen is His Majesty's former teacher, and Lu Chu and Huangfu Wuyi have assisted His Majesty in Luoyang for many years. We are from Jiangdu, in the eyes of His Majesty, after all, there is no Yuanwendu and their relatives, and I am afraid that they will not support us at the critical moment, so it is better to seize power while Luoyang's military power is in our hands! ”

Wang Shichong shook his head helplessly, "Renze, do you think I don't want to do this?" But don't forget, our Wang family is from a humble background, and without the banner of Yang Tong, who will go with our Wang family in this world? ”

After a pause, Wang Shichong said again: "And the most important thing is that once we launch a mutiny in Luoyang, Li Mi will definitely act when he hears the wind." Last time, we were able to repel Li Mi's attack thanks to the support of the Shi clan in the city, without their support, it would be very difficult to block Li Mi! ”

Wang Ren pondered for a long time and said, "Uncle, let's unite with Dou Jiande in Hebei to attack Li Mi and destroy Li Mi first." ”

Wang Shichong frowned and thought about it, shook his head and vetoed Wang Renze's proposal, "Dou Jiande is now an enemy on several sides, Xu Shiji of Liyang has surrendered to Li Tang, and Liu Wuzhou of Bingzhou has suddenly risen, and Luo Yi of Youzhou has always been his confidant. Three enemies have already stirred up the unstable foundation of his Hebei. How can he still have the energy to take care of the affairs of the Central Plains? What's more, we are not related to him, and we can't be sure whether he will help us or help Li Mi! ”

Wang Yanzhang said with some indignation: "Uncle, what should we do then? Could it be that they are waiting for Yuan Wendu to kill here? ”

Wang Shichong said with a gloomy face: "Of course not, I, Wang Shichong, will never accept my fate in my life." Benevolence! ”

"In!"

Wang Ren hurriedly responded, "What does my uncle command?" ”

Wang Shichong said in a deep voice: "I want you to go to Jiangdu immediately, meet Yang Gao, and tell him that I, Wang Shichong, am willing to sacrifice Luoyang and surrender, and join hands with him to exterminate Li Mi, the world's number one thief!" ”

Wang Ren said with a little understanding: "Uncle Mo doesn't plan to give up Yang Tong and use Yang Gao as a guise to pull the banner!" ”

Wang Shichong glanced at Wang Renze approvingly, and said: "Yes, there is no place to stay here, Yang Tong's ears are too soft, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others have been with him in Luoyang for many years, and they have a deep relationship." Yang Tong will definitely choose to believe them in the end, so we can only choose another virtuous monarch. ”

Wang Yanzhang said with a little worry: "But uncle, will Yang Gao accept us?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "I was a close confidant of his father Yang Guang back then, whether it was Yang Gao or Yang Dong, they were both authentic members of the Sui Dynasty, and we were not any second ministers." What's more, we still have Luoyang, the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, and tens of thousands of Huainan soldiers, he will not refuse. ”

Wang Ren said again: "But uncle, even if Yang Gao accepts our surrender, but his main force is in the south, what if he lets us fight Li Mi independently at that time?" “

Wang Shichong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Renze!" You look at Yang Gao's current layout, Xue Rengui is stationed in Huainan, Chang Yuchun is stationed in Xinye, and Yang Yanzhao in Nanyang also has some soldiers and horses moving towards Yingchuan County, Yang Gao's next target must be Li Mi, not to mention that Luoyang is the old capital of the Great Sui, and Yang Gao will never allow this capital to fall into the hands of bandits no matter what. ”

Wang Yanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Uncle, that's really good!" ”

Wang Shichong glanced at Wang Yanzhang helplessly, and sighed: "What's good?" It is my helpless move to submit to Yang Gao, Yang Gao is not as good as Yang Tong, Yang Dong has no soldiers in his hands, so he can only rely on me, and Yang Gao's soldiers are strong and strong, more than us, less than us. We're going to have a hard time in the future! ”

Wang Ren shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Uncle, what do you want to do so much, the future matter will be solved in the future, let's deal with the current problem first!" ”

Wang Shichong nodded helplessly, and said: "Ren Ze, you quickly set off to Jiangdu to meet Yang Gao, if he agrees to our surrender, you immediately send an eagle letter to inform me, and I will immediately solve Yang Tong and his people in Luoyang." Yanzhang, during Ren Ze's trip to Jiangdu, you must firmly control the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, and you must not let Yuanwendu and their people infiltrate! ”

Wang Yanzhang patted his chest with a big grin and said, "Uncle, you can rest assured about this matter. Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu have a very high opinion of themselves, and they have always looked down on us who are soldiers, and always feel that we are inferior to them, so they want to win over the army with their arrogant attitude, so let's dream! ”
