Jiangdu.

Yang Guang sat on the couch in the palace, and couldn't help but feel that the winter was cold to the bone.

After listening to Yuan Chong's recital, he couldn't help but feel more and more cold, this is really a cold winter.

"Damn Li Mi, he actually annexed Meng Rang's terracotta territory so easily? Is this Meng Rang a pig? ”

At this time, the emperor even hated iron and steel.

After Li Mi killed Meng Rang and annexed his territory, he actually proudly asked Jiang Du for his meritorious service, saying that he had destroyed the puppet Qi Emperor Meng Rang for the imperial court, recruited 300,000 soldiers and horses for the imperial court, and recovered the land of ten counties.

This is simply slapping him Yang Guang in the face.

"Your Majesty, Li Mi has sent Wang Bodang to lead 100,000 horses to officially cross the canal and attack Wagang, Dongjun, where Luo Gui is stationed."

"Isn't that good news?" Yang Guang was furious.

"Your Majesty, this should be good news."

"What's so good?"

"Your Majesty, at the same time that Li Mi sent troops to Shandong, Luo Cheng sent his brother Luo Cunxiao to lead 10,000 Liaodong soldiers to cross the sea and arrive at Donglai to land."

Yang Guang was silent all of a sudden.

Did Luo Cheng finally send troops south?

"Didn't you say before that you could contain Luo Cheng by connecting with the Yuan Clan?"

"Your Majesty, Xizuo sent back news from Liaodong, saying that Luo Cheng sent his brother Luo Shixin to capture the Yuan clan's Fuyu City, and there was almost no battle damage, and the Yuan clan lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. Now Yuan Taizuo is already asking Luo Cheng for peace. ”

The news hit the emperor like a hammer.

"Okay, I got it."

The emperor sighed and said, "Since Li Mi has already sent troops to Shandong, then you can issue an order to reward him." Also, transfer Sima Dekan and Yu Wenhua's Xiaoguo army back, let Laihu'er and Chen Ling retreat to Pengcheng, and let Li Mi and Luo Gui's father and son fight, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor thought that he could send troops across the river to fight Du Fuwei.

He is still thinking about recapturing the Danyang counties so that he can retreat to the south of the Yangtze River.

"I asked you to find a Jiangnan woman as a wife for the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, how is this going?"

"The minister is stepping up the process."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Jiangnan now has Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Lin Shihong, Zuo Cai, etc., and it is not stable. Even without these rebels, Jiangnan is not a place to defend. Now there is Wei Wensheng guarding Guanzhong, and the minister thinks that he should return to Guanzhong as soon as possible. ”

Yang Guang glared at him.

"I don't know that Guanzhong is easier to keep, but how can I go back now? On both sides of the river, there are rebels, even on the banks of the Han River, they are all rebels, how to go back? ”

Yuan Chong said, "Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty is willing to make up your mind, you can always kill back, and now there are still 100,000 soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, most of the soldiers are in Guanzhong, and they have been away for a long time, and everyone is homesick." If His Majesty awards a heavy reward, the soldiers will definitely work hard, and it will not be difficult to fight all the way back to Guanzhong at that time. ”

"Easy to say." The emperor didn't want to go back to Guanzhong, "Have you ever thought about it, even if you go back to Guanzhong, there will be no money and food supply from Guandong, how can you keep it?" ”

No matter how Yuan Chong persuaded him, the emperor had no intention of returning to Guanzhong now anyway.

"What has Li Yuan been doing lately?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Yuan has not moved, but Li Yuan's sons Jiancheng, Shimin, and Yuanji have been very active recently, and they often go in and out of the Xiaoguo military camp, and they have close contacts with the Xiaoguo military generals, and the minister is a little worried."

The emperor's face turned ugly.

In the city of Jiangdu.

Li Yuanji and Yu Wenzhi were drinking wine and listening to music in a green building.

Although there are rebels everywhere and beacons everywhere, but in this Jiangdu city, there is still singing and dancing, although prices have risen, but for these noble children, there will be no personal feelings.

"Jiangdu's grain is almost finished." Li Yuanji held the wine glass and said suddenly.

"Well, I've heard that, too." Yuwen Zhiji nodded.

"Now there are enemies on all sides, although there are still some counties loyal to the imperial court, but they are no longer able to transport grain." Li Yuanji said again.

"Today, a few Xiaoguo troops in Guanzhong escaped, but they were captured by the emperor's order, and then they were all beheaded." Yu Wenzhi sighed.

"It's useless, kill these few, there will be more people who will escape, and you can't be afraid of killing. I heard that many soldiers of the Xiaoguo army were privately discussing that the emperor would send troops across the river to fight Du Fuwei, and after recapturing Danyang, move the capital to Danyang. Li Yuanji said.

"Jiangdu can't hold it, and it also moves the capital to Danyang, it's useless, don't say anything else, there is no grain and grass, how to keep it. What's more, now Danyang is still in the hands of Du Fuwei! ”

The two sons and daughters are also full of confusion about the future at this time.

"Li Mi is very powerful now, he just killed Meng Rang, and now he claims to have millions of soldiers, and he has eighteen counties, do you think he can succeed?" Yu Wenzhi asked.

"Maybe, but I heard that Luo Cheng has sent his brother Luo Cunxiao to lead the Liaodong Army to land in Donglai Port, maybe he will take advantage of the situation to kill Jiangdu at any time."

"Also, this Luo Cheng is also a ruthless character."

"What do you think we should do, we can't wait here to die, right?"

"Wait for Li Mi or Luo Cheng to call!" Yuwen Zhihe shook his head and smiled.

"I'm afraid I can't wait for this day, it is said that Jiangdu's food is only enough to eat for a month, and I can't even survive this winter."

"What then? You can't run away, but the emperor has already made a decree, whoever dares to escape will be killed! ”

Li Yuanji then whispered to him, "I know that everyone in the Xiaoguo Army wants to escape, and even the hundreds of officials who accompany him want to leave this ghost place. ”

"That's true, but do you have any good ideas? The Emperor resolutely refused to leave. ”

"If a few people run away, they will definitely not be able to escape, but if many people run together, then the emperor will have no choice." Li Yuanji said.

"You mean?"

"Let's contact more people, and then everyone runs together, so that if the emperor dares to send someone to chase after us, we are not afraid. Maybe you can run away with the people who come to chase you. In any case, Guanzhong is better than here, and the families of the brothers are still in Guanzhong! ”

Yu Wenzhi thought about it and thought about it, and felt that it was also the same truth.

"Okay, then let's get in touch quietly."

Yuwen Zhihe held the position of general as a young eunuch at this time, although his father Yuwen Shu died, but after all, the Yuwen family has been powerful for many years, and there are still many friends.

He was very worried that Luo Cheng would go south to Jiangdu, and the Yuwen family, who had old grudges with Luo Cheng, might be able to escape the scourge of extermination, so he was even more anxious than Li Yuanji to escape from Jiangdu.

As for Li Yuanji, he heard from his father and brother that the emperor is very worried about their family now, and he may attack at any time, so he is also anxious to escape.

But one or two escaped alone, and they couldn't escape, so they thought about escaping together.

"Huyalang has always befriended Zhao Xingshu and me, and Yang Shilan, the servant, is my nephew, so I'll contact them."

"The crown prince Qianniu Chai Sichang has a good relationship with me, I'll contact him."

The two of them drank the wine in their glasses, then walked quickly downstairs and left.
