The Dahua army entered the stage of strategic stalemate with the Tang, Liang, and Turks, and there were daily encounters, but the results were roughly the same, the defense line was still solid, the forces of both sides were being consumed, and the allied forces besieging the city were usually several times the casualties of the defending side, so that the strength of the three sides was sharply reduced day by day.

Seventy or eighty thousand Dahua troops were stationed here, and after the consumption of the Turkic cavalry and the tripartite siege battle, there were only more than 50,000 people left, while the Liang, Tang, and Turks lost more than half of their men.

The Turkic Qi Ji asked the Tang State and the Liang State to continue to recruit troops and increase the strength of the front line, which made Li Yuan and Liang Shi have suffering.

At present, in their respective territories, there have been years of famine, conquest, natural disasters**, and there is a scarcity of men who have killed them, and when they are conscripted, it is difficult to convene, and now there are conscriptions, I am afraid that fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, sixty old men, have to be conscripted into the army.

In order to replenish the soldiers and horses, Luo Zhaoyun is also issuing targets to various counties and counties, continuing to recruit strong men to enlist in the army, send them to the front line, and expand the army to 100,000 people.

Once it is doubled on this basis, when the time comes, it will be 200,000 troops, not to mention defeating the Allied forces, and even the initial conquest of the Central Plains will be enough.

On this day, there is a twist and turn, which is from the Minshan area.

Luo Zhaoyun was a little surprised when he saw the source of the recital, it turned out to be a recital written by Cheng Mingzhen.

He opened it and browsed it, his eyebrows moved, revealing a little joy, Cheng Mingzhen reported on the chapter that he had captured Wenshan County, approaching Shu County, and the five counties of Hanyang, Tongchang, Wudu, and Pingwu along the way were taken, and now the six counties in the southwest have been included in the Dahua territory, and the local minority tribes and indigenous patriarchs have expressed their willingness to attach themselves to Dahua.

At present, Cheng Mingzhen learned the news of the war between the allies and Dahua, and launched the conscription of the six counties, and will recruit nearly 40,000 new troops, all of whom are strong men in Sichuan and Shu.

"This Cheng Mingzhen is a manufacturable material, and he can take charge of himself!" Luo Zhaoyun was very pleased, if he hadn't known the fame of historical figures in advance, promoted and reused these famous generals and celebrities in the early Tang Dynasty, and the outstanding people on the Lingyan Pavilion, how could he have tapped so many unique talents by himself.

After Luo Zhaoyun sighed in his heart, he informed the military generals of Wenchen of the good news of the strong man leaving Sichuan, and learned that the reinforcements would soon be able to gather 50,000 and be transferred, all the courtiers were relieved and felt that the chance of victory was greater.

When the Sichuan army, the new army of Tuyuhun and the Western Regions arrived one after another, the number of soldiers and horses would not be much different from the remnants of the allied army, which was the stage when Dahua counterattacked and attacked.

Guo Xiaoke reported: "The grain and grass of the Turks and the Liang army have been figured out, and they are already familiar with the duty, changing guards, and defense forces, and they can attack the enemy's grain and grass depots at any time. ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "Very good, General Li Jing sent someone to send urgent information, the soldiers and horses he led have surrounded Yincheng, and it is only three hundred miles away from the new capital of Liang State, which can not only deter Liang State and suppress the morale of the Liang army, but also take advantage of the military mistakes that Liang State will make next, and it is possible to destroy it in one fell swoop, and when the time comes, cut off the rear retreat of the Liang army on the front line, and the tens of thousands of remaining Liang troops in Beidi County will collapse without a fight!" ”

When everyone heard these news, they were excited, and they all had smiles on their faces, if they could defeat the tripartite alliance, Dahua would be able to continue to attack Jingzhao County, and after taking Chang'an City, the entire Guannai would be Dahua's territory, laying a solid foundation, and it would be easier to unify the world in the future, and they would all be able to make a contribution to the dragon and become the founding hero.

Luo Zhaoyun continued: "Keep waiting, it won't take more than ten days, the new army will arrive, and our army will be able to launch a counteroffensive." ”

"Yes!" The generals clenched their fists and took their lives.

..........

A few days later, Wang Shichong called the emperor in Luoyang, the country name was Zheng, some old ministers of the Great Sui, under the threat of power, have been attached, supporting Wang Shichong to be the emperor, only a few old ministers, to die for fame, Wang Shichong also fulfilled, directly beheaded, and then killed the whole door.

Such bloody methods made many Sui Chen remnants panic, and they did not dare to criticize them anymore, fearing that they would involve their families.

If it is replaced by a general master who fights for the world, even if he encounters a former minister who has a discordant position, he will be placed under house arrest, exiled, or dismissed from his post as a citizen, and the threatening generals will be cut and killed, but it will not affect the entire family. But Wang Shichong, a black-bellied villain, has bloody methods, but no matter what kind of Confucian or old minister you are, if you block his way, you will be killed, the suspicion is very heavy, and the strength is not enough.

However, Wang Shichong is eager for Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiongxin, Bing Yuanzhen, Pei Renji and his son and others in the Wagang Army, because these are military generals and the most practical talents in troubled times.

Therefore, after Wang Shichong became the emperor, he still personally lobbied the captured generals of the Wagang Army, and soon, Chen Zhiluo took the lead in expressing his attachment, because he was one of the generals of the twelve guards of Emperor Yang of Sui, and later served as a partial general in Xiaoguowei.

Some time ago, Xiao Guowei was defeated by the Wagang army, and he was also captured, because Li Mi heard about his talent, so he appeased and co-opted and surrendered to the general of the Wagang army. This time he was captured by Wang Shichong, and after knowing the benefits, he quickly took refuge in Zheng Guo and became a general.

Subsequently, Shan Xiongxin was moved by Wang Shichong's sincerity, and said that he would belong, Wang Shichong had seen Shan Xiongxin's skills and abilities, admired his generals, and gave his daughter to Shan Xiongxin, called as a concubine, and re-added.

Bing Yuanzhen and Zu Junyan took refuge in Wang Shichong, and a few days later, Pei Renji and his son, Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie and others, faced with death threats and the persuasion of Shan Xiongxin and others, finally agreed to surrender. After all, this is a troubled time, there are too many variables, and it is common for princes to compete for hegemony and change their ministers to masters, which is different from the nature of treason

As a result, Wang Shichong's military strength has increased greatly, and after the two grains and grasses around Luoyang are brought back, they will supply the needs of the capital, and there will be no shortage of grain and grass for the time being.

Wang Shichong felt that his strength was consolidated, and he no longer needed to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the tricks of the princes, so he simply sent someone directly to give poisoned wine to Yang Tong to poison this weak crown son who was just about to become an adult.

At this time, there is also an emperor who is called Yuwenhua.

He retreated to Wei County, many of them died, less than 20,000, knowing that he was not long gone, and heard that Wang Shichong was called the emperor, he couldn't help but sigh: "Life should die, don't you become the emperor one day?" “

So he killed the puppet emperor Yang Hao, the emperor was located in Wei County, the country name was Xu, Jianyuan was Tianshou, and hundreds of officials were placed.

Due to Xu Guo's adjacent to Li Zitong's forces, the latter sent people to unite with Dou Jiande, and joined forces to attack Yu Wenhua and hit it hard, even if Yu Wenhua and a fierce general like Yuwen Chengdu, he could not resist the attack of the army, not to mention, although Yuwen Chengdu was brave, but it was more like Lu Bu, lacking the ability to strategize and command the battle, Xu **'s team collapsed and scattered, and the general trend was about to die.
