When Wuduan Er arrived at Helan Mountain, he went to Zhangye to find Jiang Fei to restore the slavery of the Yang Mansion, even if Yang Chong threatened to drop his and Han Shige's positions, Wu Duan'er did not let go; In the end, Jiang Fei figured out Wu Duan'er's careful thoughts, it turned out that Wu Duan'er saw that he had no family like Yang Chong, and wanted to change his surname to Yang in the future and join the Hongnong Yang family. Yang Chong saw that he was born and died, and he didn't dare to hit his enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to agree; So now Yang Chong's name for Wu Wei'er is extremely arbitrary.

But in the eyes of Yuan Wei and others, this is the closeness of their own family; Fang Yanzao said with a smile: "The adult still teaches him a few words, this case can't be opened." As for the war, it is better to wait for General Wudu'er to fight for a while, and then talk about it, with Han Shige's men and horses in Zuoguocheng, the Tang army can't do anything with them. ”

Jiang Duo agreed: "It's better to take the opportunity to take Diaoyin County, Shangxian is so close to the enemy in the south, there is always a feeling of being stuck in the throat, Zhang Shilong is currently very close to Li Yuan, and our people have obtained evidence of interactions, including information on Duan Decao's activities in Diaoyin, Feng Yi, and Hancheng, and Duan Decao and Shi Danai are preparing to cross the river, and they are waiting for Zhang Shilong's reply." ”

Yang Chong nodded and said, "Then make a big move and make that chess piece move." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, with the information Jiang Duo said, he became famous; Yang Chong is still ambushing the first move, and Zhang Shilong is estimated to be a dish on the table. Five days later, Yang Chong's army suddenly moved south to attack Diaoyin County, occupying Suide County and Chengping County at the same time, and then Yang Chong announced that Zhang Shilong had conspired to rebel, and Xiazhou took over Diaoyin County; Jiang Duo and Liu Harizi continued to capture Yanchuan County and pursued Zhang Shilong.

Zhang Shilong fled to Fenchuan County, officially announced his defection to Li Yuan, and notified the Tang army to cross the river; What reversed the plot was that Li Yuan's subordinate Sun Hua led an army to come to the aid and rushed into Fenchuan County to capture Zhang Shilong and surrender. The Tang army, which crossed the river from Hancheng to help, was defeated, and the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, Shi Danai, was wounded and captured.

Yang Chong sent all the 5,000 Sui troops captured in the four counties of Diaoyin County with armor and weapons, plus 1,000 war horses, to Feng Yi and handed them over to Sang Xianhe. Yang Chong wrote a letter to explain the process, promising that as long as Chang'an sent a county guard, the four counties of Diaoyin County would be returned immediately; In addition, he demanded that the Governor's Office of the Western Regions be changed to the Governor's Office of Hexi, and asked the Ministry of Rites to send officials to preside over the imperial examination in Hexi next year.

Chang'an has become a mess, and now who still has the heart to be a magistrate, especially when I heard that the army was sent to Feng Yi, and the four counties of Diaoyin were all Yang Chong's army. The official position that was hot in the past is now unwanted, and after five or six days of embarrassment, Yang Xu, the third eldest of the Guanwang Yang Xiong, took the initiative to ask for help, and the acting king Yang Yu was immediately approved; Even if Yang Xu takes office alone, Yang Chong will hand over everything in Diaoyin County.

Wei Jie was ready to put up his name in the Ministry of Rites and take the opportunity to return to Hexi, but the family refused to let him, because Wei Yuancheng, the eldest son of President Wei, Yun Guogong, had already come forward to contact Li Yuan, and Wei Yuancheng married his daughter Wei Qi to Li Shimin, and Li Yuan became a family of children. Li Yuan's request was that the Wei family should go all out to support themselves and leave Yang Yu, the acting king, in Chang'an City; If Wei Jie goes to Hexi at this time, it doesn't mean that the Wei family has two boats.

Wei Baoluan, Shang Fang Ling Wei Xun, and Taichang Shaoqing Wei Ji talked with Wei Jie once, both sides were a little unhappy, Wei Jie smiled bitterly: "You are betting all the treasure on Li Yuan's bet." Now that the Hexi Army and the Tang Army are officially at war, it should have been an opportunity to bargain left and right, but the Wei family took the initiative to give up. Although Yuan Zhao and Wei Yi are valued under Yang Chong, it is difficult for them to enter Yang Chong's core circle, unlike Du Yan, who is Yang Chong's real confidant. ”

Xiazhou Assassin Shi Yuanwei, Longzhou Assassin Shi Du Yan, these are the two dazzling political stars in the Hexi Army, Wei Ji sighed and said: "We have agreed with the Du family that Yang Chong will change his name to the Hexi Governor's Office, and Du Quan, the Duke of Changguang County, will serve as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and go to Hexi to preside over the imperial examination; In addition, Yongzhou was set up in Diaoyin, Yan'an, Honghua, Anding and other counties, so that Baoluan served as the assassin of Yongzhou. Yang Yu believes in you, you better stay in Chang'an; We understand that if Yang Chong has the last laugh in the future, you will lose the opportunity to appear, but this is not your business alone, nor is it our family's business. ”

Wei Jie smiled sadly, he was betrayed by his family, and he didn't even know about negotiating with the Du family, what else was there to say, unless he didn't care about the family in the future. Wei Xun said gently: "Wei Jie, after all, it is more likely that Tang Gong will conquer Chang'an, you see that Liu Xuan took the Shannan Courtyard to Shangxian, which means that Yang Chong is unwilling, or does not dare to enter Chang'an." ”

Wei Cheng, who was waiting on the side, interjected: "Second grandfather, you can't look at the situation like this, if Yang Chong defeats Taiyuan, the Tang army will be trapped in Guanzhong." ”

"Not bad." Wei Xun actually agreed, and Wei Baoluan said unhurriedly: "So we want to occupy Yongzhou for the Duke of Tang, so that Yang Chong can't take all the lands of Longyou and Hetao; With Yongzhou's containment, even if Taiyuan is lost, it can still be recaptured. Wei Cheng, I know that you admire Yang Chong's ability to do business, you clean up tomorrow and escort Yang Jinghui to Shangxian, and the Wei family's jade mine in the Western Regions will be handed over to you, Yuan Zhao is an official after all, and sometimes he can't take care of it. Hurry up and get ready. ”

Yang Jinghui, the princess of Fengningyi, is Yang Yong's daughter and Wei Yuanzhao's wife, and has been hindered by the Wei family and Wei Xuan, and cannot go to reunite with Wei Yuanzhao; When Wei Cheng heard Wei Baoluan say this, he knew that the Wei family had reached an agreement with Wei Xuan, agreed, gave a salute to the people in the house, and went home to prepare to go.

Everything was traded behind the scenes, acting Wang Yang Yu rejected Gu Yi's suggestion that he retreat to Yan'an County, appointed Wei Baoluan as the assassin of Yongzhou, Duhu and Wei Jie were responsible for transferring materials, and arranged for the relevant departments to retreat to Longyou and Hetao, only the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was taken away by Cui Chuzhi. Zhang Jin was relieved when he heard that Yang Chong occupied Fenchuan, and the biggest advantage was that he could reinforce Feng Yi at any time, so that the men and horses in Guanzhong had a way out, and of course Yang Chong also opened up the way for himself to enter Guanzhong.

Yang Chong welcomed Yang Xu, and handed over city by city, without dragging mud and water at all; Yang Xu had listened to the analysis of the situation of Yin Shishi and Yuan Wufeng in Chang'an, and knew that he was just a buffer to Diaoyin, and there was no money, no one and no army in the four counties, so it was impossible to stop Yang Chong or resist Li Yuan. After Yang Xu went to Fenglin County to discuss with Yang Gang, he asked to assign Diaoyin County to Xiazhou, but Yang Chong refused, and Yang Chong only asked one question: "If Li Yuan hits Chang'an, what will happen to Yang Yu, the acting king?" ”

What should I do with Yang Yoo? Yang Xu was depressed and had nothing to say, Yang Yu had already decided to live and die with the city, Yang Chong had so many eyeliners, it was impossible not to know. Yang Chong ignored him, left Yang Xu to meditate in the reception room, and went to the conference hall to continue to discuss things with Yuan Wei and others; In the evening, Yu Xuan was ordered to entertain Yang Xu, the two originally knew each other, Yang Xu was ready to confirm Yang Chong's idea from Yu Xuan, and happily went to the banquet.
