"Marshal Qiyu, I just got the news that the imperial army conquered Chuzhou and Ezhou, and Du Hong was defeated and committed suicide!"

"What? Dujon is dead? Yang Xingmi suddenly sat up in shock.

This news was really a bit of a surprise to Yang Xingmi, not long ago, Du Hong was still attacking Xiangzhou with Ge Congzhou, and now he was forced to commit suicide.

This reversal was also too fast, and he was a little caught off guard.

"Jieshuai, that's not all, Zhengzhou City is broken, and Niu Cunjie is defeated and killed. At this time, the army of the imperial court should have killed Zhu Liang's capital --- Bianzhou. Liu Wei broke another big news.

Hearing these two news, Yang Xingmi couldn't sit still.

"Doesn't this mean that Juwen is going to be finished?" Yang Xingmi hesitated.

It's no wonder that Yang Xingmi thinks so, but the situation in the Central Plains at this time is obviously more favorable to the imperial court.

Zhengzhou is broken, and Bianzhou is in danger.

Ge Congzhou was also defeated and retreated to Zhongwu; Zhu Yougong was trapped in Xuzhou by Pinglu and Taining.

At present, Pang Shigu is better, but with the defeat of the other three roads, how long can Pang Shigu hold on?

Zhu Liang's main force is Xuanwu and Yihua two towns, but from the beginning of the war to the present, the elite of Xuanwu has lost more than 100,000 people. Combined with the losses of several other major wars, the losses of Xuanwu troops have exceeded 200,000.

"What Jie Shuai said is right, Zhu Liang may not last long, and Jie Shuai should also consider whether to continue to stay still." Liu Wei said in a deep voice.

"What do you think?" Yang Xingmi looked at Liu Wei.

"Marshal, send troops and leave a good impression on Chang'an." Liu Wei said seriously.

"Jie Shuai, the lower officials feel that it is impossible." Dai Yougui objected, "Today's saints, since he ascended the throne, have been cutting down the domain.

If Zhu Wen is defeated, the imperial court will definitely continue to cut the feudal domain. When the time comes, Huainan, Xuanzhou, and how will the festival marshal deal with themselves? ”

"You can't surrender to Zhu Wen and declare war on the court, right?" Liu Wei said.

For a while, the opinions of the two staff members were different, which made Yang Xingmi hesitate.

Later, Yang Xingmi called his confidant Li Shenfu over and asked for his opinion.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty had not yet reached the point where the people's hearts were lost, and after Li Ye ascended the throne, the imperial court recovered Hexi and pacified Shatuo Li Keyong, and there was a faint trend of revival, which also made many people see a glimmer of hope.

After so many years of being a Tang person, they have become accustomed to this identity.

Even Li Shenfu has no idea of opposing Tang Zili at present, so he naturally suggested that Yang Xingmi send troops to help the imperial court.

In the case of his generals Tian Yan guarding Xuanzhou and An Renyi guarding Runzhou, Li Shenfu is currently Yang Xingmi's most trusted person.

Therefore, Li Shenfu's suggestion had a great impact on Yang Xingmi.

In the end, Yang Xingmi decided to reinforce the imperial court and let Li Shenfu lead 30,000 troops to attack Suzhou.

It is called reinforcing the imperial court, but in fact, it is taking advantage of the fire to rob.

At that time, even if the imperial court pacifies Zhu Wen, it will not easily make a move against Huainan, and Suzhou is the buffer between the eight states of Huainan and the imperial court.

In Bianzhou, because of Niu Cunjie's defeat and death, Zhu Wen was very sad and shocked at the same time.

He didn't expect that the Tang army would break through Zhengzhou so quickly, and he didn't expect that Yang Xingmi would take the opportunity to send troops to rob while the fire was burning.

If it was before, Zhu Wen would continue to linger in the flowers, but as soon as Zhengzhou City was broken, Zhu Wen came to his senses.

It's not too late!

。。。。。。

"Your Highness, someone from outside the city has sent a letter again!"

Xuzhou, Jiedu Embassy.

Zhu Yougong looked sad at this time, but he didn't expect that the situation of Shi Pu being besieged in Xuzhou City a few years ago would be staged on him again.

He was in a better situation than before, after all, he was only newly surrounded. Moreover, the army outside the city does not have particularly good siege equipment, and there is no good way to take Xuzhou City for the time being, so it is to persuade to surrender.

No, it's another letter of persuasion.

"Tear up the letter!" Zhu Yougong didn't have a good air.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty suggests taking a look, maybe the content of the letter is different." Said the staff.

"What? Could it be that this king is a dignified prince of Liang and can't switch to the Tang army? Zhu Yougong said angrily.

"Your Highness, Niu Cunjie died in battle, Zhengzhou was lost, and now the Tang army has reached the city of Bianzhou!

And Huainan Yang Xingmi also took advantage of the fire to rob, His Royal Highness has to make plans early! After all, His Royal Highness's real name is also surnamed Li, not Zhu. The staff hurriedly persuaded.

This staff member was accepted by Zhu Yougong after he came to Xuzhou, and he was Shi Pu's former minister, and his hatred for Xuanwu Zhu Wen was not small, and he regarded himself as a Tang person, and he was not far from being a Liang person.

"Zhengzhou City is broken?"

Zhu Yougong was shocked.

Because Xuzhou was besieged, he didn't know the news yet, including Yang Xingmi's dispatch of troops.

"People outside the city said that it was said to have happened half a month ago.

Your Highness, if this matter is true, how long can Da Liang hold out when the whole line is now in a rout? It's time for Your Highness to think about it! "The staff hit the railroad while it was hot.

"What Tang Jun's people said is definitely not credible."

In fact, Zhu Yougong already believed most of it in his heart, and Tang Jun couldn't deceive him in this matter.

Although he was surrounded in Xuzhou, it was not difficult for him to confirm it, but it just took a little effort.

If this is true, then he really thinks about it.

But there are also problems, he is Zhu Wen's righteous son and Zhu Liang's royal family, can Chang'an really bypass him?

Secondly, his family is in Bianzhou, if he chooses to surrender, what will happen to his wife and children? Do you want him to ignore the life and death of his wife and children?

But if you don't surrender, will you be buried with Zhu Wen?

Soon, the result of Zhu Yougong's refusal to surrender again spread outside the city.

Seeing Zhu Yougong's stubbornness, Zhu Jin was a little dissatisfied, Zhu Yougong surrounded him in Yanzhou for so long, and Liang Zi had already settled.

"Dutong, Zhu Yougong is stubborn, just order the siege of the city!" Zhu Jin suggested.

Cui An Qian shook his head, "No, the Tiance cannon sent by the imperial court is still on the way." At this time, attacking the city is too risky, and it is very likely that you will not be able to take Xuzhou City at a great cost of casualties. ”

Although the city of Xuzhou was destroyed by the Xuanwu army before, Zhu Yougong simply repaired it after taking office, although it was not as strong as the Shipu period, with the army in Cui Anqian's hands, it would be difficult to attack Xuzhou.

"Dutong, but it's not a matter to drag it out like this, it's too troublesome for our grain and grass to be transported from Taining." Zhu Jin persuaded.

Cui Anqian still shook his head, not agreeing with Zhu Jin's method, and attacking was not the only way. If you can take Xuzhou at the cost of performance, it's no problem to take it; If the casualties are too great, he would rather besiege than attack, and after the other roads have made progress, he believes that Zhu Yougong will not be so eyeless.

"Dutong, the last general has a way to take Xuzhou City without blood." Just when everyone was worried, Li Wenzhong suddenly stood up and said.

"General Li, tell me your method!" Cui An said curiously.

What does Li Wenzhong give him the impression he makes?

Li Wenzhong is very capable, brave in battle, and brave and strategic, but he is too cold-blooded and ruthless.

Li Wenzhong hugged his fists and said, "Dutong, it's actually very simple. Let Jin Yiwei reveal the matter of Zhu Yougong's negotiation with us to Zhu Youwen or Zhu Youqi and others, and with Zhu Wen's suspicion, he will definitely help us win Zhu Yougong over. ”

What a discordant plan!

The eyes of the generals who looked at Li Wenzhong were suddenly full of jealousy!
