Yu Ming shook his head lightly at this time, and then sighed: "Actually, I think that the biggest possibility of Du Fuwei is that he has taken refuge in Li Yuan, not just the alliance!" It is possible that Li Yuan agreed to give him generous conditions, such as being named a king with a different surname, and his grandchildren can inherit the title...... In exchange for Du Fuwei's support for Li Yuan as emperor! ”

"What? Du Fuwei took refuge in Li Yuan? How could such a thing happen? After Zhang Zhongjian heard this, his eyes widened.

"Is this possible? He is also one of the four princes! The strength is not much worse than Li Yuan! Duan Da was also a little unconvinced.

"Yes! Du Fuwei's strength is not weak, under the full attack of his father, he has not surrendered many times to the point of exhaustion, will he submit to Li Yuan so easily this time? Wang Xuanchong's eldest Wang Xuanying also shook his head again and again.

……

Everyone present was talking, obviously not believing Yu Ming's inference.

Yu Ming patiently analyzed for the generals at this moment: "Don't be surprised. There is also a good basis for this king's assertion. Judging from Du Fuwei's character analysis: he is actually a person with no ambitions. This can be seen from the fact that after he raised troops in Jianghuai back then, he had to loot every city he broke, and he had no intention of making a good reputation. You must know that if he Li Mi is like him, he opens a position to help the people and consolidate his territory, in exchange for the support of the surname and the Shi clan, it is possible to compete for hegemony in the world......"

But he didn't do that at all. Even on the advice of his subordinates, he gave up. It would be good to say that Du Fuwei was not clear at first, but later, especially after he captured Jiangdu, a large number of Sui Dynasty officials surrendered to him. Many of them suggested that he should establish a state and become emperor. But Du Fuwei only claimed to be the king of Jianghuai, and there was no action to establish himself as an emperor at all. This shows that this person has no ambition to compete for hegemony! ”

Yu Ming explained this, and after thinking about it carefully, everyone also felt that this was the reason. It's just that Wang Xuanshu still asked a little strangely: "King Zhou, your analysis just now is indeed very reasonable. Xuan Shu also agrees very much! It's just that Xuan Shu still has a trace of doubt: Why didn't Du Fuwei choose to surrender to you? You must know that no matter in terms of troops, territory, population, and personal morality, the generals under your command ...... You have defeated Li Yuan! If I were Du Fuwei, even if I didn't want to fight for the world, I would choose a master like you who has more hope of winning the world! How could he retreat to choose Li Yuan? ”

Before Yu Ming could answer, Wang Shichong spoke first: "Xuan Shu, in fact, this truth is very simple: if you think about how King Zhou's father was defeated, you will understand!" ”

Wang Xuanshu was stunned for a moment, but then came back to his senses: Yuhua and the original army in Jiangnan and occupied Jiangdong, which was also a major force in the world at that time. But under the attack of Du Fuwei, he was defeated in successive battles, and finally even Jiang was lost, and had to retreat to Hebei, but was ambushed by Dou Jiande, Wang Bo, and Xu Yuanlang in Liaocheng, and finally died in defeat.

Although Yu Huaji died, the direct murderer was Dou Jiande. But if you want to talk about the original culprit, it is still Du Fuwei.

And in this era, paternal feud is incompatible. If Yuming does not avenge his father, he will be considered by the people of the world as an unfilial person, which will lead to a crisis of trust in him.

If Yuming really let Du Fuwei go, I am afraid that many of the generals and ministers who took refuge in Yuming would also leave him. So, it doesn't matter whether the relationship between Yuming and Yuhua is deep or not. In this case, he would never have let Duvowe go.

It is impossible for Du Fuwei to fail to think of this truth, and even if he can't think of it, his generals and military advisors will remind him. Therefore, if Du Fuwei wants to rely on a big force, he really has only one choice, Li Yuan.

After all, Li Yuan now sits in Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Longxi, Bashu, and the southeast of Hedong. The population of the jurisdiction exceeds 10 million. With more than 500,000 subordinate troops, military generals and ministers, and the full support of the Longmen valve, he is indeed the best candidate for the final victory among the princes who have seized the world.

After figuring out this layer, everyone no longer struggled with this problem. Now what they need to think about is: if they deal with the situation of Li Yuan and Du Fuwei joining forces.

"If both sides are prepared, then according to the strength of our Zhou army and Liang army, we should not be afraid of the joint efforts of the Tang army and the Jianghuai army." Yu Ming said in a deep voice at this time: "But Li Yuan betrayed his treachery and tore up the peace treaty and launched an attack before the armistice agreement between me and him ended in a month. Kill me and Xiao Miao, and catch me off guard...... Now that Xiao Mo has fled, this king predicts that Li Shimin will soon return to Luoyang City, and the situation we face will be even more complicated! ”

After Wang Shichong's eldest Wang Xuanying heard about it, he was a little disappreciative and said: "King Zhou, in fact, the current situation is not complicated!" Li Yuan's army under Luoyang City was only 50,000 or 60,000 people, and Du Fuwei only had more than 10,000 people. General Li Jing was defeated and fled. With their 70,000 people, if they want to capture Luoyang City, which is guarded by our 10,000 people, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

"Major General Wang, the situation is not so simple. I think Li Yuan launched such an attack, even at the expense of making enemies of all the princes except Du Fuwei...... There must be a backhand! Yu Ming frowned and said, "If what I expected is not bad, now Li Yuan must have launched an attack on Li Liang, Xiao Miao, and even Liang Shi." He has long stationed a lot of soldiers and horses in the city where the princes meet. Now, taking advantage of the capture of Li Liang and the defeat of Xiao Mo and Liang Shi, but they have not fled back to their own capital and joined their own army, it is possible to defeat this opponent by launching a surprise attack with lightning speed. ”

Yu Ming said eloquently: "Li Liang and Liang Shi are already weak in power and have small territory, and defeat is almost inevitable. And Xiao Mill's strength is stronger, the territory is large, and the troops are strong, but there is a glimmer of hope to hold the position. But if I don't give Xiao Mo a helping hand. On the contrary, if Du Fuwei launched an attack from Xiao Miao's back, Xiao Miao's defeat would almost be a matter of time. ”

In this case, Xiao Miao's territory will be divided between Li Yuan and Du Fuwei. And at this time, the strength of Li Yuan and Du Fuwei has far surpassed that of my Great Zhou. Our army will face a difficult situation in which several borders are threatened at once. It's pretty good to be able to hold on to the original territory...... But when the war enters a long-term confrontation, it becomes a contest of territory and the comprehensive strength of the population, at this time, Li Yuan, who owns Guanzhong, Longxi, Bashu, Hanzhong, Jingxiang, and Hetao, and then joins forces with Du Fuwei, who controls Jianghuai and Jiangnan, and it is only a matter of time before my Great Zhou is defeated! Yu Ming analyzed in detail.

Red Sleeves and Zhang Zhongjian said that they had already seen Yuming's resourcefulness.

And Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanshu, Duan Da and others are the first time to see Yuming's detailed analysis. They can't help but sigh secretly: It seems that the king of Zhou started from scratch in Liaodong, slaughtered Goryeo, trapped Silla, destroyed Ji, raised the prairie, and defeated Luo Yi, Dou Jiande, Li Mi and other powerful princes. Its scheming intelligence is indeed extraordinary.

"It seems that it is also a good choice to follow King Zhou! After all, in the battle of Hedong two years ago, it was Yuming who won! Duan Da also secretly thought in his heart.

"So, what we need to do at the moment is not how to defend Luoyang City. If you really focus on this aspect, wait for my master to notify the reinforcements to relieve the siege. That's a big mistake! Yu Ming then continued: "If you really wait until then, the other battlefields will already be decided. And it may not be safe to be trapped in Luoyang City. This king has indeed arranged more than 100,000 troops to garrison the Tiger Prison Pass, and troops can be sent from there to reinforce the ......"

"But now that we can mobilize reinforcements from Tiger Pass. Li Yuan and Du Fuwei were also able to send reinforcements. And they are better prepared than we are, and perhaps more troops will come to reinforce us. Whether we can defend Luoyang at that time is just unknown! Yu Ming said with a worried face.

"King Zhou, what should we do now?" After listening to Yu Ming's analysis, Wang Xuanshu asked a little anxiously.

"Breakout!" Yu Ming said without hesitation: "Now we need to kill Luoyang, meet my master Li Jing, and then go to the Tiger Prison, so that we will be safe!" At that time, we will be able to fully mobilize our forces to deal with this crisis! You can rest assured that the total strength of our Zhou army is not less than 600,000, even if it faces the attacks of Li Yuan and Du Fuwei at the same time, it will be able to play with ease! ”

Yu Ming's words can be regarded as a reassuring pill for the generals under Wang Shichong. After all, he was suddenly attacked by the two major princes, Li Yuan and Du Fuwei, who had been planning for a long time, and the only possible helper, Xiao Miao, could not protect himself. Everyone was a little nervous, they were not as loyal as Yuming's own generals. Maybe they will be shaken, and at such times, Yuming also wants to let them see the hope of victory.

"By the way, I heard King Zheng say that there are still 10,000 soldiers in Luoyang City, but I don't know how many cavalry there are, and what the equipment and combat effectiveness of these soldiers are. I wonder if anyone who knows the inside story can explain? Red Sleeves couldn't help but ask at this time.

"Mrs. Red Sleeves, among the 10,000 soldiers, there are 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. They are all elite soldiers who have followed their father to fight in the south and north for many years, and my father has already followed when he is still punctual in Jiangdu, his loyalty and combat effectiveness are very strong, and the equipment is also quite good, and all of them have changed the armor and weapons of the Imperial Forest Army stored in the palace. may not be able to beat Li Shimin's Xuanjia Elite Cavalry, but it will definitely not lose to the ordinary Tang Army! Wang Xuanshu hurriedly replied. After all, he was aware of the power and huge influence of Red Sleeves in the Zhou army, so he wanted to leave a good image in front of Red Sleeves.

After hearing this, Red Sleeves couldn't help but look at Wang Xuanshu a few more times, thinking that Wang Shichong was very well-behaved this time, and he spoke and handled it very decently. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can suggest to your husband that he be promoted.

"That's good! Now I guess Li Yuan probably didn't expect that I would go out of the city to counterattack so quickly! After hearing Wang Xuanshu's introduction, Yuming was also very happy. So he smiled slightly and said: "Pass my order, everyone go out of the city to meet the enemy, this time we will kill the Tang army by surprise!" ”
