Li Mi, who now calls himself the Duke of Wei, is fighting with the hundreds of thousands of Sui troops who came to reinforce him in Luoyang, and as with Yang Chong, Li Yuan pretended to write a letter saying that he was willing to take refuge in Li Mi and ask the Wagang army not to attack Taiyuan; Yang Chong pressed step by step, Liu Wenjing didn't dare to be perfunctory anymore, and replied honestly: "I wrote it, it is said that Wei Gong is very happy." ”

Yang Chong bowed his head and said: "Li Mi has his own difficulties, just as I have difficulties, but since Li Yuan has this idea, for the sake of him and the Yuwen family's accomplice, I can't refuse." I have three conditions, as long as he agrees, I promise not to attack Taiyuan, I don't know if Mr. Liu can make decisions for Li Yuan? ”

Liu Wenjing was already hopeless, but she didn't expect the willows to be bright, and she couldn't help but feel a little happy. Liu Wenjing said in a low voice: "My lord, please speak." ”

Yang Chong said casually: "Taiyuan is the important place of the Great Sui's armor, I need five thousand sets of Mingguang armor to send before you raise your troops; Secondly, as long as it is the place where the Turkic soldiers are located, it is not Li Yuan's territory, and in my eyes, those who accept the Turkic banner and title are Turkic; Third, I heard that Li Yuan's third daughter Li Xiuning was good-looking, so I asked Li Yuan to send Li Xiuning to Zhangye as a guest. ”

Liu Wenjing muttered: "The first condition of the adults is not Mingguang Jia, but the exact time when Tang Gong will raise his army; The second condition is to restrain Tang Gong from accepting the title of Turk, as long as he accepts it, it means betraying the Great Sui, it turns out that the Lord really has no idea of removing the Sui number, so he is willing to be subject to Wei Xuan everywhere. What puzzled Liu was, why don't adults want a man as a hostage? ”

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, which one do you think is appropriate?" ”

"This." Liu Wenjing didn't dare to answer, no matter how she answered, it was wrong, as long as it was passed out, she would have no good fruit to eat; Yang Chong said with a blank face: "Mr. Liu, people who are vertical and horizontal should also be frank and open, this official is already like this, and you are still playing with your mind." In order to teach you and Li Yuan a lesson, there is a scholar named Ma Sanbao in the Gongchai Shen Mansion of Julu County, who is cunning, and you sent his head with Li Xiuning. ”

Liu Wenjing was sweating profusely, this was Li Yuan's top secret, and he also knew it from Li Shimin's mouth, Chai Shen and Li Yuan reached an agreement to lobby various families in Chang'an for Li Yuan, and Li Xiuning had promised Chai Shen's son Chai Shao as a link between the two families. Yang Chong wanted Li Xiuning to come to Hexi as a guest, this was to slap Chai Shen's father and son in the face and sabotage Li Yuan's plot in Chang'an, Liu Wenjing insisted and said: "We can't kill people indiscriminately, and Li Xiuning already has a marriage contract, can we change someone?" ”

Li Yuan has been plotting this for a long time, which of the slightly older daughters is not a powerful person, Yang Chong said coldly: "Mr. reminded me and asked Li Yuan to withdraw from the marriage." One more condition is added to send Gao Junya to Zhangye alive. ”

Liu Wenjing didn't dare to say it anymore, he tried twice to change the two conditions that Yang Chong added, if he continued to talk about it, he didn't know what else would happen, so he could only agree to come down first, and go back to tell Li Yuan. Yang Chong saw that Liu Wenjing agreed to pass the word, and then changed his smile and said: "Wen Jing rarely comes to Wuwei once, Liang Shuo, wait for you to accompany Wen Jing into the city and treat you well." ”

Liu Wenjing scolded in his heart, Yang Chong is too different from the legend, almost a businessman's face, without the demeanor of a politician; Regarding what Yang Chong and Liu Wenjing said, some people knew, and some didn't even know Kou Jiuhui and Ling Jing, but everyone didn't think it was strange, Yang Chong was originally good at strategy, and he had always regarded Li Yuan as an imaginary enemy, and it was normal to have eyeliner around Li Yuan.

Only Kou Jiuhui wondered in his heart, from the beginning of the preparation for the Eastern Crusade, a lot of news he and Meng Tuo didn't know, with Jiang Duo's ability, it was not enough to do it to such an extent, Kou Jiuhui couldn't help but think of the third tip that Yang Chong left for Tianqi. Kou Jiuheng asked about this matter a few times, and also muttered to Jiang Fei, Yang Chong didn't blame anyone, but even Jiang Fei didn't say it, it seemed that as long as Tianqi who was active in Shandong knew; But Tianqi seems to be missing, the liaison station in charge of Peng Moyun has not seen Tianqi for several months, and Jiang Duo's other network also has no news.

In the Baihua Valley outside the Tiger Prison Pass, behind the camp of the Wagang Army, in the pavilion surrounded by ancient trees, there is a table of wine and food, Wei Zheng is drinking with Xu Shiji, Xu Shiji has grown rapidly in the war in recent years, and is already one of the few generals of the Wagang Army. Wei Zheng is dressed in a Taoist robe, not to mention the immortal style of Dao bones, and there is a faint momentum that cannot be taken lightly.

The wild flowers outside the pavilion are brilliant, and when the wind blows, the wind is mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers and grass; Xu Shiji poured Wei Zheng a glass of wine and said, "I didn't expect you, as the envoy of Yuan Baobao, to have time to come to see me, and Duke Wei was going to make a move on Luoyang." ”

Wuyang County Chengyuan Treasure saw that the Great Sui would lean and chose to defect to Li Mi, Wei Zheng was the messenger who came and went, but he had an old relationship with Xu Shiji, so he turned around to see; Wei Zheng picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that Pei Renji is already a person of the Duke of Wei, as long as his family arrives, he will surrender." Come, I wish Wei Gong a great ambition. ”

Xu Shiji has always hoped that Wei Zheng can persuade Yuan Baobao to defect to Zhai Rang, instead of Wei Gong Li Mi, but now it seems that Wei Zheng is still optimistic about Li Mi and is not interested in Zhai Rang. The two of them sat down with a glass of wine and laughed at each other, and a sentry officer hurriedly ran in, handed over a beautiful golden silk nan wooden box, and said, "General Xu, a merchant brought you a gift just now, saying that he knew that you were meeting guests, and he would come to visit you tomorrow." ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "Just looking at this package, I also know that the price is expensive." ”

Wagang army robbed everywhere, with gold, silver, jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings, Xu Shiji is one of the few people who know the goods, and has a great reputation in this industry, Yuan Baobao and Wei Zheng have bought cheap rare books and antiques from Xu Shiji, Wei Zheng subconsciously thought that he was a businessman who wanted to come to find bargains.

Xu Shiji waved his hand, motioned for the sentry to go down, pulled out a dagger he carried with him, gently cut the lock of the wooden box, and opened the wooden box, which was full of jewels, and there was a bag under the jewelry, Wei Zheng and Xu Shiji's faces suddenly became cautious. It was rumored in the rivers and lakes that when Yang Xuangan rebelled, he received a bag before giving up attacking Luoyang and moving to Nanyang.

Wei Zheng wanted to avoid it, but he was a little reluctant, there were not many opportunities to meet this kind of legend, and he still wanted to see it in his heart; Xu Shiji said happily: "Brother Wei, let's take a look, the other party specially waited for you to arrive, not for me to show alone." ”
