"The little woman knows." Li Xiuning bit her lip and finished speaking, and followed Kou Jiuheng away; Gao Junya was untied, looked at Yang Chong and knelt down, and cried bitterly: "Yang Chong, Li Yuan framed us for colluding with the Turks, killed Pan Changwen and others, and took away the military power of Taiyuan. How can you be part of him? The Son of Heaven is not thin on you, you should raise an army to fight the thief. ”

Yang Chong was silent for a moment and said: "Junya, you should know my situation, with Wei Xuan and Chai Shen here, I can't stop Li Yuan from entering Chang'an." If I take the first step to enter Chang'an, it will be the truth. ”

Gao Junya was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "You said that Wei Gong is Li Yuan's accomplice?" ”

Yang Chong said helplessly: "I have said this a long time ago, and there are still many people involved in this matter, but the Holy Son of Heaven and you just don't believe it, otherwise how would the Great Sui come to this point." You settle down in Hebei first, and report peace to your family, time will tell. ”

After getting Hexi, Liu Wenjing was originally like an arrow, but after listening to Yang Chong's words, he couldn't help but stop and say, "Manager Yang, what you said is a little sensational. ”

Yang Chongwang looked at Liu Wenjing and said, "Wenjing, when you occupy Chang'an, you will know that what I said is true or false." I have a word for you, the moment Li Yuan became emperor, that is, when you should leave the Li family, I was waiting in Hexi. ”

Liu Wenjing said angrily: "Yang Chong, don't let me look down on you. ”

"Really?" Yang Chong asked: "Are you loyal to Li Yuan, or are you loyal to Li Shimin?" You won't believe that Li Yuan said that he wanted to pass everything on to Li Shimin is true, right? ”

Liu Wenjing looked at Yang Chong in disbelief, sweating, knowing that Yang Chong was a conspiracy and provoked in person, but Liu Wenjing couldn't find a word to refute it, and he would often consider Yang Chong's evil intentions in the future; Because Li Shimin did tell Liu Wenjing that Li Yuan personally said that once he succeeded, he would let Li Shimin be his successor, and Liu Wenjing was Li Shimin's strongest supporter. As soon as Liang Shuo and the others saw Liu Wenjing's expression, they understood that Yang Chong had once again said the secret of Taiyuan, and secretly praised it.

Liu Wenjing left with a melancholy stomach, and before leaving, she repeatedly told Li Xiuning to listen to Li Shimin's words, not to make any small moves, and to play in Zhangye. The next day, Li Xiuning was sent to Zhangye and handed over to Jiang Fei to take care of; Yang Chong wrote at the same time, for the sake of the future, suggested that Jiang Fei set up a female battalion of 200 people, Jiang Fei only changed one word, and asked Du Yan to assist in recruiting 500 female soldiers.

At that time, I heard that Yang Chong asked Li Yuan to send hostages, and the one who nominated it was Li Yuan's third daughter Li Xiuning, Jiang Fei and Yuan Xianren were angry and funny, especially Yuan Xianren, thinking that he was pregnant, Yang Chong had an idea. It's just that Yuan Xiren, as a concubine, is qualified to take care of a man's marriage to a concubine, and his mind is all on the child in his belly; Jiang Fei knew that Yang Chong was unmatched in knowing people, and his achievements outside of him were strong, and there must be a mystery in it.

After seeing Li Xiuning talk a few times, Jiang Fei recognized that this little girl was not inferior to herself except for martial arts and experience, and her ambition and talent were not inferior to herself, especially her views on major events, which were often unique. Although he didn't know the specific mystery, Jiang Fei still decided to let Yang Chong go, and Yang Chong admitted that he was afraid of guilt in public, which made a group of people break their eyes, and if he wanted to go too far, he would really be poked in the back.

Even if Jiang Fei didn't let go of Yang Chong, there was no way to take Yang Chong for a while, sending Liu Wenjing away, Wuwei became more busy, Wei Jie, Yuan Wei, Fang Xuanling, Yujuluo, Ma Delai, Wei Yi and others were successively summoned to Wuwei by Yang Chong, and everyone understood that Yang Chong's promise that Liu Wenjing would not attack Taiyuan did not mean that Yang Chong would stand by and watch, this big boss who was born in business would definitely take advantage of the fire to rob and maximize his interests.

The targets chosen by Yang Chong were Liang Shidu and Liu Miaowang, and Liang Shidu had already defeated Zhang Shilong, invaded Diaoyin, Honghua, Yan'an and other counties, established the country as Liang, and established the era name Yonglong. The Turkic Shibi Khan gave the wolf-headed banner and gave him the titles of "Dadu Viga Khan" and "Son of Heaven". King Liu Miao occupied the city of Zuoguo, had 50,000 troops, and called himself King Liu, with his younger brother Liu Liu'er as the king of Yong'an, and his son Liu Jizhen as the crown prince.

These were the two tigers blocking the Hexi Army's attack on Taiyuan, but it was also Yang Chong's opportunity. Although the Liang division was strong, its foothold was unstable, the battle line was getting longer and longer, and the troops were insufficient; Liu Miaowang is currently facing off against Qu Tutong's subordinate Hu Benlang General Liang De, and the two sides have won and lost each other. Because Liang De's danger came from the direction of Taiyuan, King Liu Miao's troops in the west were insufficient, and he relied on Lishi Zahu, who was nominally attached to him, to be on guard.

Yang Chong's goal is obvious, that is, the territory of Liang Shidu, and Jingle County and Zuoguocheng occupied by King Liu Miao, Jingle County is in the basin surrounded by Yunzhong Mountain, Luya Mountain, and Guanshui Mountain, with sufficient water sources, it is a good cultivated land and pasture, and it is also the county governance of Loufu County; Zuoguo City is the place where Liu Yuan of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms started in the Nandan Yuting, the city is solid, and the surrounding water and grass are fertile. The two places face each other across the Yellow River, and there is only one thief-ridden Lishi County in between.

Wei Jie is not worried about Shuofang County, Jiang Duo can hit Honghua County, just on the edge of Yan'an County, and the cavalry of Suo Yanshou, Zong Luohu and others often go there to pick up caravans and homeless people. Wei Jie wanted to know what Yang Chong really thought of King Liu Miao, and asked, "Does the chief manager know why Li Yuan and Qu Tutong can't defeat Zuo Guocheng?" ”

Yang Chong nodded and said: "Liu Yuan made his fortune from Zuoguocheng and destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty, in the minds of the Hu people who moved inside, Zuoguocheng is a holy land, whether it is the Huns, or Xianbei, Xianbei, Di, Qiang, they do not want Zuoguocheng to fall into the hands of the Han people, that is where their hope for the rise of the Central Plains lies." At present, the situation in the Great Sui Dynasty is similar to that of the Western Jin Dynasty, so the 100,000 Hu people in Luliang Mountain are looking forward to another Wuhu rebellion, so the spiritual madness makes up for the gap in combat effectiveness, and Li Yuan and Qu Tutong have been invincible repeatedly. ”

Wei Jie asked unceremoniously: "Does the chief think that the Hexi Army can easily win?" ”

Yang Chong said with a serious expression: "King Liu Miao's thoughts have gone beyond the scope of a civil war, this is a war to destroy the country, whether I can win it or not, but this battle must be fought." Of the 100,000 Hu people, not everyone is as crazy as King Liu Miao, and most people still want to live a stable life, and they can't wait for King Liu Miao to kill Chang'an or Taiyuan before making a move. In this way, I will go all the way to Zuoguo City, you go to Chang'an, let Fang Xuanling and Yujuluo stay in Hexi, and pick us up at any time. ”

Wei Jie immediately understood that Yang Chong had planned it a long time ago, so he no longer argued about whether to send troops or not; Everyone understands that Yang Chong is easy to say, and this road must be full of bloody battles. First of all, it is necessary to secretly drill through Lingwu County and Huaiyuan Town without being discovered, and then capture Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Diaoyin County and other places, and finally cross the Yellow River and go to Luliang Mountain.

Yuan Wei asked, "Why didn't you send troops directly from Liupan Mountain at that time?" ”
