However, Lu Shaozong's behavior is undoubtedly a crazy move after being consumed by the desire for profit, how can such a major event be acted easily without premeditating first?

Although Xin'an is very close to Luoyang, but there are still several counties such as Mianchi in the middle, Lu Shaozong took five or six thousand people to Luoyang, although he took various trails along the way, but he was still detected by Wang Shichong's secret whistle.

After Wang Shichong learned that Lu Shaozong came to the eastern capital sneakily with people and horses, he keenly felt that it was not normal, so he immediately laid a net with tens of thousands of troops, captured Lu Shaozong alive in one fell swoop, and then sent people to torture him.

On April 20, Dugu Wudu, Dugu Ji, Yang Gongshen, Cui Xiaoren and others were all arrested, and were immediately killed by Wang Shichong's order, and their heads were hung on the walls of the eastern capital, and the Tang general Lu Shaozong was also spared.

A great opportunity for Datang to break through the Eastern Capital was lost in vain.

Wang Shichong was busy usurping Sui as emperor at this time, and Yu Wenhua was no exception.

After Yu Wenhua and Li Mi fought several battles and lost many troops to each other, they did not dare to try Liyang again, and went north to Wei County.

At this time, Yu Wenhua and Zhang Kai and others discussed leaving him to find another job, but the matter was discovered, so Yu Wenhua and killed Zhang Kai and others, since then, Yu Wenhua and his henchmen have gradually lost everything, and the army is weakening day by day, and the brothers Yu Wenzhi and others have no plan, only to gather together to eat and drink and play kabuki.

Once, Yu Wenhua was drunk and complained about Yu Wenzhihe: "I didn't know anything at the beginning, it was your idea, you must push me as the leader." Now that nothing has been accomplished, the number of people is decreasing day by day, and the crime of killing the king is not tolerated by the world, and now the clan is exterminated, not because of you! ”

Yu Wenhua said, and couldn't help but hug his two sons and cry.

Yu Wenzhi said angrily: "When the matter was successful, you didn't attribute it to me, and when it was time to fail, you wanted to blame me, why didn't you kill me and surrender to Dou Jiande!" ”

The two brothers quarreled with each other several times, talked to each other, and drank again after sobering up, which was a common thing.

Most of Yu Wenhua's subordinates fled, and he knew that he would inevitably be defeated, and sighed: "Who can live without dying?" Even if I die, I will die as an emperor! ”

As a result, Yu Wenhua poisoned the puppet emperor Yang Hao he supported with wine, and the emperor was in Wei County, with the country name Xu, changed the year name Tianshou, and set up a hundred officials.

After the emperor, Yu Wenhua and lure the thieves by the sea with rare goods, in order to enhance their strength, the first in the late Sui Dynasty to rebel against the Zhishilang Wang Bo, at this time still not eliminated by other forces, he was recruited by Yu Wenhua, then led the thieves to surrender Yu Wenhua and, and Yu Wenhua and temporarily lived in Liaocheng in Wuyang County.

Wuyang County borders Lizhou (formerly Ji County) controlled by Li Shiji, and is located to the east of Lizhou, and part of the county seat of Wuyang County is also under Li Shiji's control.

Huai'an King Li Shentong was appointed as the ambassador of Shandong Province shortly after Li Yuan became emperor, in principle, all the soldiers and horses in Shandong were controlled by him, but Li Shentong since the comfort of Shandong, the results have been achieved, only a few counties, often rely on Li Shiji's help, barely support.

After learning that Yu Wenhua and Emperor Cheng had arrived in Liaocheng and that his strength had declined, Li Shentong's mind became active.

Yu Wenhua and as the person who killed the second monarch of Sui, he also called himself an enemy, which can be described as a heinous crime, plus he was once a character who competed with Li Mi for a while......

If Yu Wenhua and the capture are sacrificed to Chang'an, it is undoubtedly a great merit, which is enough to cover up his deeds of Li Shentong comforting Shandong without success.

Moreover, the heirloom jade seal of the Sui Dynasty seems to be in the hands of Yu Wenhua! The jade seal of the country is not just a stamped thing, it is engraved by Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, on the order of Qin Shi Huang, with He's bi, which has been handed down for thousands of years and has gradually become the evidence of the orthodox emperors of the past dynasties.

If he, Li Shentong, can get the jade seal of the country and dedicate it to Li Yuan, this credit is actually no less than the defeat of a big force.

Therefore, in Li Shentong's eyes, Yu Wenhua in Liaocheng at this time is like a pile of glittering gold, which is very tempting.

So, Li Shentong planned to send troops to attack Liaocheng, but the total number of troops in his hands was only about 10,000, which was slightly insufficient, so he went to Liyang and asked Li Shiji for more than 15,000 people, and 25,000 troops to kill Liaocheng.

When Li Shiji came to borrow troops from Li Shentong, he originally planned to go to Liaocheng with him, but Li Shentong found an excuse to refuse.

Li Shen informed Li Shiji that he was very good at using soldiers, and if he was allowed to go to Liaocheng with him, he was afraid that most of the credit would be robbed, so he didn't want to let him follow.

However, Li Shentong didn't know that he was not the only one who coveted Yu culture.

Just when Li Shentong led his troops to Liaocheng, Dou Jiande of Le Shou also said to his ministers with righteousness and awe: "This king is the people of the Sui Dynasty, and the Sui emperor is the monarch of this king. ”

Dou Jiande is located in Hebei, and the territory he occupies is already in the forefront of today's forces, and Hebei is a rich land, with no shortage of population and fertile land, and his strength can be described as strong.

But Dou Jiande also has his troubles, because he was born in a poor family, the talents among the children of wealthy families, unless people who are unwilling to stay away from their hometowns, most of them are still unwilling to be loyal to him, and there are not a few people who have traveled thousands of miles from Hebei to Guanzhong.

Therefore, how to let Hebei talents be collected in the urn has always been Dou Jiande's top priority now, so he now looks at Liaocheng.

First of all, Dou Jiande set his sights on Zaiyu Wenhua and many old ministers of the Sui Dynasty around him, Pei Ju, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, Cui Junsu, the waiter of the military department, and He Chou, the commander of the Shaofu, are all talented people in Dou Jiande's eyes, and if these people can be included in his command, it is very attractive to Dou Jiande.

More importantly, Dou Jiande, like Li Shentong, also took a fancy to the heirloom jade seal that represented the orthodoxy of the dynasty. Dou Jiande thought, if he got the jade seal of the country, could Hebei celebrities still regard him as a person of destiny? At that time, I am afraid that the people who will take refuge in him will be endless.

Therefore, for Liaocheng, Dou Jiande is imperative! Not long after Li Shentong led his troops to Liaocheng, Dou Jiande also led 100,000 troops and went to Liaocheng in a mighty way.

After Li Shentong arrived in Liaocheng, he was reluctant to attack because the troops were not very sufficient, and after he learned that Yu Culture and food were insufficient, he took a siege.

Yu Wenhua and the food in Liaocheng is really not much, all rely on his third brother Yu Wenshi and Feng Deyi in Jibei to collect and supervise the transportation of military food, so Li Shentong besieged Liaocheng for only a few days, Yu Wenhua and could not support it, and sent people to Li Shentong to ask for surrender.
