The civil and military officials accompanying Luoyang came to Yang Guang, and Yang Guang threw the piece of music to them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Pei Ju stepped forward to pick it up. I saw that it was written that after Li Mi fled, he was displaced, and then defected to Zhai Rang in Wagang Village, gradually expanding his power, replacing Zhai Rang to sit firmly in the first position of Wagang, and besieged Zhang Xutuo's department with treacherous tricks. Li Mi's rebels gradually grew, successively captured Rongyang Cang, Jindi Pass, and issued a proclamation, announcing Yang Guang's murder of his father, steaming his mother, seizing his heir, killing his brother, slaughtering his brother, prostituting his sister, not caring for the people, reckless military force, building a large number of buildings, and wasting national wealth, vowing to overthrow Yang Guang and establish a new dynasty; And occupy most of the city of Rongyang, enter Rongyang City, once Rongyang is lost, the east will inevitably shake. After Pei Ju saw it, a panic also rose in his heart.

"Your Majesty! Now hurry up and mobilize the troops around Luoyang to strengthen the defense of Luoyang, as well as quickly mobilize the army to aid Rongyang, and let Rongyang Zheng strengthen the defense, we must not let Rongyang lose, once Rongyang is lost, it will be close to Guanzhong and Luoyang, and the consequences are unimaginable! Please make an order quickly! Pei Yun also read the content of this recital next to Pei Ju, and he also had a plan in his heart.

"Your Majesty, now that Jiangnan has been pacified by Wang Shichong, it is just right for him to replace Zhang Xutuo, who died in battle, and lead the counterinsurgency army in Jiangnan to come to King Qin's rescue. Moreover, his deputy general Xu Shiji is the son-in-law of Rongyang Zheng, and there are countless strategies in his chest, with him, Rongyang will definitely be able to preserve. ”

"Jiangnan has just been pacified, isn't it too hasty to transfer them now." Yang Guang hesitated.

"Your Majesty, although it is in a hurry, but now the situation is urgent, and it is difficult to find a more suitable person than him in the current situation. Moreover, Wang Shichong is treacherous, like a sharp knife and dagger, such a person should not stay in Jiangnan, while there is no major chaos in Jiangnan now, it is better to let him and Li Mi fight each other. so as not to hurt yourself. Yang Guang bowed his head and was silent, to be honest, Jiangnan is Yang Guang's land of Longxing, compared to Guanzhong and the Central Plains, Yang Guang in Jiangnan has a deeper feeling.

"My dream of Jiangnan is good, and it is in vain to conquer Liao! All right! Quickly sent a messenger to let Wang Shichong quickly lead the troops to King Qin, ordered the defenders of Luoyang to prepare early, and ordered Liaodong to let the general come to Hu'er to lead the army back to the division to escort him, and tomorrow all the civil and military forces will gather to worship and summon the soul of Fan Zi Gai Shangshu and Zhang Xutuo, who died in battle. ”

"Your Majesty! Now that the war in Liaodong is going well, the army of Goguryeo was defeated in Pyongyang, and Goguryeo also sent the head of the traitor Hu Sizheng in order to express his sincerity for peace. An official raised objections, and Yang Guang was displeased.

"Humph! In the early years, you repeatedly persuaded me to stop attacking Liao, but now the situation is in danger, but you told me to pacify Liaodong first, do you see that I am easy to bully! As soon as Yang Guang got angry, the man immediately closed his mouth. Yang Guang then issued an order to come to Hu'er and negotiate a contract with Goguryeo and quickly lead his troops back to help him.

The next day, Yang Guang led all the civil and military officials of Luoyang to the cemetery covered for Fan Zi and Zhang Xutuo's clothed tomb, and knelt in front of the tombs of the two of them. The ministers and officials who accompanied them were all shocked when they saw it:

"Your Majesty, this 。。。。。。" Yang Guang waved his hand to stop their words.

"Fan Laoshangshu bowed to the essence of my Great Sui, and after his death, now he has become sick from hard work, General Zhang was killed by traitors for the peace of the common people in my Great Sui world, isn't it worth kneeling?" Hearing Yang Guang's statement, the accompanying officials all knelt down in front of the tombs of Fan Zigai and Zhang Xutuo. Yang Guang took the lead in kowtowing at the front:

"Fan Shangshu, General Zhang, one of you worked hard for the country, and the other fought on the battlefield for the people's safety, but the sky did not pity me, which made me lose a good minister. It's really a big pain in life, today, I lost two pillars, my heart is sad! It hurts too! Tell the heavens, return my pillars! Yang Guang cried as he spoke, and the sad atmosphere was that all the people present were infected. Li Jiancheng looked at the back, and felt that as an emperor, Yang Guang was still qualified, maybe it was in response to that sentence, the will of heaven is on you, even if you go against the grain, if the will of heaven is not in you, then you do everything in vain, only blame the will of heaven is unpredictable!

In the evening, Pei Yun's mansion, Yu Shiji came to Pei Yun's mansion:

"Master Pei, do you have any plans to let Wang Shichong come to Luoyang, the eastern capital?"

"Brother Yu, I believe that you have also received the letter from Jiangnan's hometown, the Jiangnan mob rebellion was quelled by that Wang barbarian, this kid is treacherous enough, first in the name of Zhao'an, and then poisoned and ambushed at the banquet, poisoned the leader to death, and killed all the remaining people in the ambush, I heard that the corpse filled the valley, and also relied on his own counterinsurgency to make a fortune in Jiangnan, some officials and clans in Jiangnan have signs of moving closer to them, if he becomes the climate in Jiangnan, then our foundation in the imperial court is not there? It just so happens that now Li Mi is rebelling, let the two of them fight with each other, and then we will encourage the emperor to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, as long as the emperor is by our side, isn't it a word from the high-ranking officials? ”

"Brother Pei is high."

At the Jindi Pass east of Rongyang City, Li Mi held a feast to celebrate the matter of killing Zhang Xutuo, occupying Rongyang Cang, approaching Rongyang, and threatening Guanzhong and Luoyang.

"Hahaha! Everyone, today Zhang Xutuo was annihilated by our army, and there are many heroes who came to form an alliance with our army, now I will introduce to you, these are the Yongan rich Zhou Faming, who funded our army's military food and materials and military salaries, and dedicated their own fiefdom to me, as well as the original Wuyang County Chengyuan Treasure, Liyang Righteous Army leader Li Wenxiang, Huanshui Righteous Army leader Zhang Sheng, Qinghe Righteous Army leader Zhao Junde, Plains Righteous Army leader Hao Xiaode, they all admired the prestige of our army and joined our army, if there were no these, Jindi Pass and Rongyang Cang will not fall into the hands of our army. In the future, you will work together in my Wagang, and you must work together to protect Wagang! Come, everyone toast together, for me Wagang to seize the Great Sui world in the future, and return the people to a peaceful world! Cheers. ”

"I wish the lord a wish to come true and reign in the world!" Li Mi's strategists and generals raised their glasses together to express their loyalty to Li Mi. Especially Yuan Baobao, Hao Xiaode and others who had just surrendered to Li Mi's command were even more flattering to him, so they almost knelt down in front of him and shouted Long live the emperor.

"Haha! Good! After breaking through Rongyang and seizing the Eastern Capital, you will definitely be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, high-ranking officials, cheers! Li Mi saw so many people complimenting him so much at the banquet, as if the dragon robe was already on his body, and he was drunk, he didn't notice that there was a pair of hateful eyes staring at him at the banquet, and angry flames erupted.

In the evening, Zhai Kuan came to his tent.

"Someone! Bring me another jar of wine, hurry! After a while, someone brought a jar, and he took it and drank it. I threw it out.

"Bastard! He even fooled me with water and gave him to me。。。。。。 It's you?! After seeing who it was, Zhai Kuan closed his mouth! The person who came was Zhai Rang's most trusted general before - Wang Ruxin. Because after Li Mi came to Wagang, he gradually established his own power, refreshed people's popularity, and put Zhai Rang in the air, he was also excluded, today at the celebration banquet, he saw many people flattering Li Mi, coupled with Zhai Kuan's eyes, he knew that if Li Mi succeeded, he would not have any good fruit to eat.

"You still want to drink, if Li Mi becomes the emperor in the future, I don't know if there is any water for you to drink!?" Zhai Kuan didn't speak, but Wang Ruxin could see that Zhai Kuan was moved.

"Now we only have one way to go, that is, let the big boss regain power, this tile gang village was originally the foundation laid down by our brothers, and now we let that broken house sit in the country, we still have to kneel with him, why?"

"But now that the second brother has given up the position of leader, and now that Li Mi's prestige is in full swing, if you want to bring him down, I'm afraid it will 。。。。。。."

"Ugh! The matter is man-made, now we just need to let him eat up when he attacks Rongyang, and then let the big boss come out again, even if we can't drive him down, we must also contact the old department of the big boss on the grounds of relayout, and the old man in Wagangzhai will let him make the big boss slaughtered for everyone, lead the hundred officials, preside over the affairs of the DPRK and China, and elevate him from below. Zhai Kuan listened and nodded repeatedly.

"And 。。。。。。" Wang Ruxin said slowly in Zhai Kuan's ear, but they didn't find that outside the battalion commander, someone was eavesdropping. In his tent, Li Mi listened to a report from a man:

"What? Hyun Sung! You mean that Zhai Kuan and Wang Ruxin are secretly talking about how to overthrow me! ”

"Yes, my lord! According to the subordinates, Zhai let these old people of Wagang flow after all, it is a disaster, no matter whether the battle of Rongyang is won or lost, we can pick up the dirt on them, and then 。。。。。。 As he spoke, Wei Zheng made a movement with his hand to wipe his neck, and Li Mi saw it in his eyes.

"Xuan Cheng, you keep a good watch on them for me, as for what to do in the future? I have my own arrangements. It's just that you have to do things secretly, you know? ”

"Yes! Your Majesty understands. In addition, the lord, there is another word for the lord to think about. ”

"Please!"

"We take Rongyang just around the corner, Luoyang is now too busy to take care of itself, and Guanzhong's power is also very empty now, we might as well send someone to lead a partial division into Guanzhong, so that we can expand our territory and help the lord achieve the great cause of the emperor!" Wei Zheng is a famous direct minister in history, a minister, but what has not been recorded much in history is his strategy, Li Mi listened to it, and nodded in his heart, this is indeed a good idea, but he has other plans. He knows that although his momentum is like a rainbow now, there are many generals, but the internal people are not aligned, Zhai let them those old people in Wagang are not convinced by me, they are definitely not suitable candidates, the new members, their character and virtue are not fully understood, and they have not completely returned to their hearts, if they give them the heavy responsibility of approaching Guanzhong, Li Mi will lose his troops and generals, and when they win, they will divide Guanzhong, and each will occupy the mountain as the king, which will be even more disadvantageous to Li Mi. And Li Mi's own henchmen can't be sent out, so he has to guard against Zhai Rang and the newly attached people rebelling and forcing the palace.

"Xuancheng! Your idea is good, but most of our generals are from Shandong, and Luoyang will go on an expedition to Guanzhong without taking it, so I'm afraid that people's hearts will not be stable. Moreover, Yang Guang is stationed in Luoyang, and the name of orthodoxy is still there, even if we get close to Guanzhong, we will encounter great resistance, so we should now concentrate our forces to attack Rongyang and Luoyang, and then take Guanzhong after pacifying the Central Plains, which is the best policy. ”

"The lord is thoughtful, and his subordinates are ashamed, but please think about it, now that the heroes are rising, if you lose this opportunity, I'm afraid it will 。。。。。。." Seeing that Li Mi didn't react, Wei Zheng didn't have any opinions.

"Rest early. His Majesty retired. After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he was about to retreat. Li Mi saw that his face was a little lost, and comforted him:

"Xuancheng, you are loyal to me, and in the future, I will succeed in my great cause, and you are the first assistant to the founding of the country."

"Thank you, Lord Longen!" Wei Zheng left with some joy.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

After Wang Shichong received Yang Guang's holy decree, he immediately gathered his most trusted clansmen to discuss together:

"Everyone! Now that Jiangnan has been pacified by our army, and now the Central Plains is in turmoil again, the emperor asked us to rush to Luoyang, what do you think we should do? ”

"In my opinion, it's better for us to stay here in Jiangnan, anyway, now the army in Jiangnan is the strongest in us, no matter what kind of court he is, we will cede the land and claim the king again." It was Wang Shichong's eldest son Wang Xuanying who spoke, since Wang Shichong pacified Jiangnan and was crowned as the Taishou of Jiangdu, the clan officials and wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan welcomed Wang Shichong's subordinates, and the gold and silver beauties were constantly sent into his Taishou Mansion every day. Especially Wang Xuanying, he was originally a greedy and womanizer, and the beauty of Wuyue in Jiangnan fascinated him, and took this opportunity to accept four concubines, and turned the dragon and phoenix in bed all day long, so that he began to gasp after saying a few words, and the people present saw that they were full of contempt in their hearts, but everyone present had accepted bribes and beauties. Therefore, some people still agree with Wang Xuanying's opinion.

"I disagree!" Wang Xuanying heard this voice, his heart was angry, and the person who spoke was Wang Renze, the son of Wang Shichong's brother Wang Shiyun. Among the Wang clansmen, the intelligence of their father and son is the best, and they are deeply relied on by Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong often praises Wang Ren for being brave and resourceful, and often takes Wang Ren as an example, sighing that he is a tiger father and a dog, for this reason, Wang Xuanying was not less reprimanded by Wang Shichong. Wang Ren ignored Wang Xuanying's dissatisfied eyes and continued to talk eloquently.

"There are three disadvantages to our seizure of Jiangnan, first, the mob in Jiangnan has now been pacified by our army, and I believe that there will be no more rebellion for the time being. But we should think that compared with the Central Plains, Jiangnan is Yang Guang's Longxing land, Yang Guang since he ascended the throne of Jiangnan is the least tax, plus after the construction of the Grand Canal, the trade routes between Jiangnan and the north are more smooth, and the people's hearts are still on Yang Guang's side; Therefore, Liu Yuanjin's rebellion did not receive the support of most of the people in Jiangnan, and secondly, the influence of the Jiangnan clan ministers in the imperial court on Jiangnan was much higher than that of us outsiders; Third, this time we used treacherous tactics to quell Liu Yuanjin's rebellion, and it has been said since ancient times that killing and surrendering is ominous. In the past, Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin troops but Guanzhong Qin helped Liu Bang win the imperial industry, and we killed more than 30,000 Jiangnan soldiers in the name of Zhao'an, and now the people of Jiangnan hate us to the bone marrow. At that time, there is no need for Yang Guang to crusade, the land south of the Yangtze River is full of enemies. ”

"What about your opinion?"

"Uncle, according to my nephew's opinion, we can use the name of rushing to Luoyang to rescue the driver, and wantonly recruit Jianghuai athletes into the army. Second, we can also pay gold and silver to the wealthy households in Jiangnan in this name, and a cup will be used to expand the army in the future. Wang Shichong listened to Wang Renze's words and nodded happily.

"Hmmm! Ren Ze is reasonable, everyone just do what he says! ”

"There is one more thing, Xu Shiji is not of the same mind as us, we must take the opportunity to transfer him, it is best to give him a trip, which is conducive to our future actions."

"I agree with this suggestion of Renze." Wang Xuanying was the first to agree, the people of the Wang family relied on Wang Renze's power to run rampant and domineering in Jiangnan, robbing the people's daughters, and the officers and soldiers under his command were even more forced to buy and sell, killing people on the street, Xu Shiji was a person in Jiangnan, and he was very unaccustomed to their cunning and robbery, so he naturally clashed with Wang Shichong's family generals repeatedly, especially with Wang Xuanying. A few times they also made trouble in front of Wang Renze, and Wang Renze scolded a few words every time in order to calm things down, but afterwards they still intensified their efforts to scrape, so the contradictions between the two sides became bigger and bigger. Wang Shichong has always been worried about Xu Shiji, during this time he has been wooing Xu Shiji, but Xu Shiji is self-assured of his all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is also in-law with the gate valve family, looking down on Hu people like Wang Shichong, always lukewarm to him, Wang Shichong slowly died.

"Renze! Do you have any good ideas? Wang Ren leaned on Wang Shichong's ear and whispered a few words to him. Wang Shichong nodded.
