Liyang County and Danyang County face each other across the river, on the top of a barren mountain on the border of Danyang County, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the camp tent of Yuwen Chengdu with deep eyes, because the distance was too far, the dense camp tent looked like the size of ants. The young Ren Wuwu stood beside the eldest grandson Wuji, and the wind from the east blew the corners of their clothes and swayed non-stop.

Not far behind them, more than twenty strong men vigilantly observed the surroundings, after all, Manager Du had explained that if Mr. Li was missing a hair, they didn't plan to live.

"Mr. Du attaches so much importance to Mr., why is Mr. unwilling to stay?" The weather is getting warmer, the sun is comfortable, Ren Wuwu can't bear to waste such time, and asks with a serious face: "Mr. came here thousands of miles away, is it just to take a look?" With the growth of strength, Du Fuwei originally wanted to build the capital of Liyang and follow the example of Li Mi and others to become the emperor, but he was persuaded by the eldest grandson Wuji, and then claimed to be the governor.

The eldest grandson Wuji chuckled lightly and said, "What do you think of him?" ”

Ren Wuwu thought for a moment and replied: "Although General Manager Du was born in a reckless manner, he can judge the situation, reuse scholars, and better understand the suffering of the people, and collect very light taxes on the counties under his rule. ”

"You're still young, and there are some things you can't see through yet." The eldest grandson Wuji first nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "It is true that Mr. Du treats the people well, and it is true that he reuses scholars, but he is too jealous and hateful, and all officials who are slightly corrupt and bribed will be executed regardless of the severity of the matter. ”

"What's wrong with Mr. Du doing this?" It was difficult for Ren Wuwu to understand the logic of the eldest grandson Wuji, and said: "Those who are officials enjoy the benefits of being an official, and they should not be corrupt. ”

"The luck of the Great Sui is approaching, wherever the righteous army passes, the court officials have defected, why does Chief Du always attack to capture the city?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked rhetorically.

Yang Guang's drama was too realistic, causing most of the officials in the imperial court to be greedy, and Du Fuwei's attitude towards corrupt officials made these people afraid and did not dare to surrender at all.

Although Ren Wuwu was young, he was extremely intelligent, and he quickly understood what the eldest grandson Wuji meant, and he defended: "What Chief Du has done is exactly what the people want, and there may be some losses, but he can get the support of the people. ”

"Really?" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a hint of mockery: "At the beginning, Chen Ling only relied on 8,000 soldiers to make Chief Du shrink into Liuhe County and not dare to come out, why didn't the people defect to him at that time?" If it weren't for the tyrant going south to Jiangdu, in order to curry favor, officials from all over the country continued to oppress the people, causing the people to be displaced, so they could only defect to him, but I am afraid that he is still trapped in Liuhe County, and may even have been exterminated by the imperial court. ”

The training and weaponry of the imperial army were far stronger than those of the rebel army, and Du Fuwei could only wait for destruction if he did not have the advantage of numbers.

"In this way, Mr. Du can have today, thanks to the tyrant." Ren Wuwu clapped his hands and said with a smile, and then became puzzled and curious: "Since Mr. doesn't plan to follow Mr. Du, why do you give him advice?" ”

"Someone has to leave the tyrant in Jiangdu." Eldest Sun Wuji's gaze looked in the direction of Jiangdu, as if he was explaining, and as if talking to himself.

Ren Wuwu was already accustomed to the mystery of the eldest grandson Wuji, he didn't ask any more, and stood quietly in place, looking down and thinking about every word that the eldest grandson Wuji had just said.

If the eldest grandson Wuji wants to analyze the situation in the world, he must constantly obtain news, this kind of thing cannot be done by one person, so he must rely on certain forces, of course, provided that those forces are worth attaching to. In addition to these, there is another reason why the eldest grandson Wuji is attached to Du Fuwei, that is, Du Fuwei has no ambitions and will not compete for the world, which makes the eldest grandson Wuji very relieved to let him rise.

When he was out of his mind, there was a noise behind him, and the eldest grandson Wuji glanced back, only to see that a deputy general of the chief official's mansion was stopped by a strong man who was in the recruitment camp, and was talking about something. The eldest grandson Wuji motioned for Ren Wuwu to go over and have a look, and learned that it was the chief official who invited him to come over. The status of the auxiliary prince in the army was second only to Du Fuwei, and the eldest grandson Wuji was inconvenient to be lazy, so he followed the deputy general down the mountain, got into a carriage, and rushed all the way to the governor's mansion.

"I wonder what the Elder Commander commands?" The eldest grandson Wuji was introduced into the lobby of the Chief's Mansion, and he was polite to the auxiliary prince, and asked.

Du Fuwei attaches great importance to the eldest grandson Wuji, and the auxiliary prince naturally does not dare to slack off, he vacantly sat in the lobby with the eldest grandson Wuji, and said politely: "Mr. Li is serious, the prince invited Mr. to come, is to ask Mr., General Du has several counties, and there are countless elite soldiers, why did Mr. persuade him not to be the emperor?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji still uses the name Li Zhu, so the assistant prince calls him "Mr. Li." ”

"Lord Chief, how do the soldiers under the command of General Du compare to the Xiaoguo Army?" The eldest grandson Wuji said unhurriedly: "There are still more than 100,000 Xiaoguo troops in Jiangdu, if the tyrant leads the army to conquer in person, does the chief think our army can resist it?" ”

"The Xiaoguo Army is the most elite army in the imperial court, and we naturally can't compare with it." Fu Gongfu frankly admitted that his strength was not as good as that of Xiaoguo Army, but he was puzzled: "But Li Mi, Lin Shihong and others have all been proclaimed emperors, and the tyrant has not stayed in Jiangdu?" Why can't General Du? ”

"Because of Manager Du's strength, it can't be compared with Li Mi and them, and because we are closest to Jiangdu." The eldest grandson Wuji said lightly: "Whether it is for the face of the imperial court, or to deter Li Zitong and others, the imperial court will not allow President Du to trespass." ”

"Mr. Li is thoughtful, and his public affairs are far from the same." Fu Gong bowed down and said, "According to Mr. Shi's opinion, can we only hold on to the imperial court and not attack Danyang?" ”

"If our army attacks Danyang, whether it is captured or not, the happiest person is Li Zitong, who has been watching from the sidelines, and most hopes to see our army and the imperial court lose both, and the chief official wants to see the forces that Mr. Du has worked so hard to manage fall into his hands?" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

Li Zitong defected to Du Fuwei that year, and later was unwilling to be subservient to others, launched a mutiny, Du Fuwei was caught off guard, almost died, and the two formed a hatred since then, Du Fuwei would rather surrender to the court than see Li Zitong grow stronger.

Fu Gongqi smiled awkwardly, no longer mentioning Du Fuwei's claim to be the emperor, he chatted with the eldest grandson Wuji for a few words, and then said that he was busy with official affairs, and let the eldest grandson Wuji leave the chief official's mansion.

The eldest grandson Wuji got into the carriage, his face instantly gloomy, Ren Wuwu felt very strange, so he asked curiously: "What did the elder and Mr. say?" Why is the gentleman's face so ugly? ”

"Du Fuwei has no ambitions, but he didn't expect this assistant to have quite an idea." The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "It seems that Liyang can't live for a long time, otherwise the auxiliary prince won't let us leave." ”

"Can Governor Du still be able to fight against the army of the imperial court?" Ren Wuwu said with some concern: "In the troubled times, it is rare to have such a person who cares about the people, and Wuwu really can't bear to let him have an accident." ”

"Don't worry, as long as he doesn't claim to be the emperor, Yang Guang won't care too much about him." The eldest grandson Wuji said absentmindedly, then closed his eyes and thought about the way forward.
