The recapture of Yangcheng County added a bit of joy to Luoyang after the snowstorm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was even more happy, and issued an edict to raise the city to celebrate the return of Yangcheng County. It's no wonder that they are like this, since Li Mi took over the helm of Wagang, what they have heard and seen is the loss of one city after another. Although there is a great victory in the Tiger Prison, although there is a great victory in Blackstone, what is lost is lost, and it is not recovered because of these two great victories, which is a regrettable thing after all.
It's not that Yang Tong hasn't thought about recovering the lost territory, but in his opinion, the person who regained Yangcheng County should be Li Yanqing.
But unexpectedly, before Li Yanqing could attack, Wang Shichong reported the good news. Yangcheng has been recovered! This may be the most joyful thing in the winter of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause.
The young prince Yang Tong set up a banquet in the palace to invite Luoyang ministers.
After the banquet was over, he brought in a few people from Yuanwendu Lu Chu, and also invited Dugu Wudu to discuss the matter.
Originally, Yang Tong was also going to let Duan Da come over. It's just that Duan Da occasionally felt the wind and cold, and he never went to court in these days. Even the recapture of Yangcheng and the palace banquet did not participate, thinking that he was really sick. This snowstorm also made Pei Renji, the general of the right prison gate, also fall ill on the bed. However, he did not occasionally feel the wind and cold, but on the night of the blizzard, he still led his troops to inspect the imperial city, so that he suffered from a heavy army.
However, it doesn't matter if Pei Renji comes or not, Yang Tong doesn't care very much.
"Wang Shichong has just recovered Yangcheng, so he will immediately change generals, but I am afraid that the morale of the army will fluctuate."
"Why should the king worry, when General Dugu takes over military affairs, he only needs to ask Li Xianbo to go with him, and he can deter the sergeants of the army."
Lu Chu replied with a smile: "With Li Xianbo's prestige in the army, coupled with his status as the disciple of General Pei and the son-in-law of General Pei, there will be no mistake in the future. General Dugu is also an old commander in the army, and he is a member of the royal family, as long as he takes over military affairs smoothly, it won't take too long, and he can control the military. At that time, there was General Dugu in charge, and Li Xianbo was strategizing outside, and Li was rampant for long. When Li Yi was destroyed, Wang Shangke waved his army straight into Guanzhong and wiped out Li Yuan's others. ā
"Yes, the king has two sharp swords in his hands, General Dugu and Li Xianbo, why not calm the world?"
Yuan Wen expressed his approval, and his words seemed to be in turmoil in the world and had been calmed down.
Sitting opposite Yuan Wendu was a middle-aged man, very tall and extraordinary. With long hair under his chin, he smiled with one hand and gently bowed his head. This person is Dugu Wudu, in terms of seniority, he belongs to the nephew of Queen Dugu, and is the same generation as Yang Guang.
The Dugu family is a descendant of Dugu Xin of the Eight Great Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.
And Dugu Xin's life is the most famous, in addition to his outstanding military exploits, there are also seven daughters under his knees, the famous Seven Fairies.
Yang Jian's wife is his daughter.
Li Yuan's father is also his daughter......
In addition to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, one of Dugu Xin's daughters was still the queen, which also created the long-lasting status of the Dugu family among the Guanlong nobles.
Yang Tong looked at Dugu Wudu expectantly, hoping that he could show his attitude.
Dugu Wu is divided by generation, that is the person of Yang Dong's uncle's generation. couldn't help but smile, "I have also heard of the name of Uncle Li for a long time, and it is also a pleasure to join forces with him to defeat the enemy." ā
"Ha, General Dugu has this idea, why worry about my Great Sui?"
"The matter of replacing Wang Shichong needs to be accelerated. If it drags on for too long, I'm afraid that Wang Shichong will repeat. ā
"Yes, General Dugu has been in Luoyang for half a year, so he must already know the current situation in Heluo? I don't know when I can get out of the horse? ā
Dugu Wudu said: "I wish to obey the king's orders." ā
"In that case, let's replace it when the cold comes.
When the time comes, Lone will recall Wang Shichong. And at that time, Li Xianbo would also come to Luoyang to report on his work. At that time, General Dugu could get to know Li Xianbo, and then cut Wang Shichong's military power. However, he recaptured Yangcheng County, which can be regarded as a meritorious achievement, so how should he be placed? ā
Lu Chu said casually: "Recently, the bandits in Nanyang have been seriously affected, and there is a faint tendency to spread to Xiangcheng County.
Didn't Xiangcheng Tongshou Duan Dacheng report to the Eastern Capital several times, asking the imperial court to send more people who could conquer and fight to quell the bandits? Although Wang Shichong failed to beat Li Shun, he did have a meritorious role in suppressing bandits. Didn't he fight Lu Mingyue very well in Nanyang before, and the surname Suo ordered him to be the captain of Nanyang, and ordered him to pacify the bandits? Counting up, the captain of Nanyang is also from the rank of the third grade, which is one grade higher than his current position. ā
That's right, Captain Nanyang's rank is indeed high, and he has the power to lead the military affairs alone.
But the problem is that once Wang Shichong arrives in Nanyang, even if he is isolated from the power center of the Eastern Capital. Nanyang and Luoyang are different, Luoyang has Hanjiacang, Xingluocang, and Luokoucang...... But what about Nanyang? There is a shortage of materials, and banditry is serious. In addition, when Wang Shichong fought Lu Mingyue in Nanyang before, it was a bit too vicious, so that several towns were turned into ruins in the war.
Nanyang people's resentment against Wang Shichong is deeply ruthless!
Lu Chu's dislike for Wang Shichong has been around for a long time. From the beginning, he didn't like Wang Shichong, and he hated it from the bottom of his heart.
Why...... Quite simply, that is Wang Shichong's bloodline.
Wang Shichong's original surname is Zhi, and he is a descendant of the people of the Western Regions. Don't look at him now as a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, but in fact, he has no blood relationship with the Wang family. After Wang Shichong was born, he went to Wang's house with his mother. Although his surname is Wang, he is of the blood of the Hu people of the Western Regions in his bones.
Lu Chu is a descendant of the Lu family of Fanyang, a northern family, and one of the seven families with five surnames.
He attaches more importance to his bloodline than even many of his descendants. Therefore, he can turn to support Li Yanqing when he is not used to seeing Li Yanqing. Since Wang Shichong entered the Eastern Capital, he has been exquisite, and has made friends with a lot of money. It seems to be diligent, but it is actually afraid of cumbersomeness. This man is a standard villain, rude, hypocritical, greedy...... Lu Chu didn't like it very much from the first time he saw Wang Shichong.
Throw him to Nanyang?
Leave him to fend for himself!
His thoughts are exactly in line with Dugu Wudu's intentions.
The farther Wang Shichong goes, the better, so that the credit of Yangcheng County has less to do with him; And Yuan Wendu also knows the situation in Nanyang. But he is also very annoying to Wang Shichong, because Wang Shichong is good at bragging and talking big. When I was in Luoyang, I said how it was amazing, but I didn't expect that the First World War was sandwiched by the Shizi River, the Second World War was Piling, and the Third World War Songgao was a loss of soldiers, so that Yuan Wendu's face was not much left.
At the beginning, Yuan Wendu recommended Wang Shichong!
Now that Wang Shichong has won a small victory, Yuan Wendu can also take the opportunity to step down. However, it is absolutely impossible for him to take care of Wang Shichong again.
Three people, three minds.
Yang Tong felt a little embarrassed. After all, Wang Shichong had just won the battle and dismissed his official position, which inevitably smelled of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.
However, he didn't know the situation in Nanyang, and Wang Shichong seemed to be doing really well in Nanyang.
From staying in Luoyang from the fourth grade, he suddenly became a captain of Nanyang from the third grade. This is in terms of rank, but it has been promoted two levels in a row, which should be able to compensate Wang Shichong.
"Since everyone has no opinion, then according to General Lu's words, Wang Shichong will be appointed as the captain of Nanyang to pacify the bandits."
Yang Tong slapped the table, this Wang Shichong's future is even so decided.
Lu Chu, Yuan Wendu, and Dugu Wudu looked at each other, and they couldn't help but understand, smiling and nodding lightly.
Everyone knows the mystery of this. Lu Chu had no eyesore, and Yuan Wendu also sent away a plague god. As for Dugu Wudu, he can take the victory of Yangcheng County into his own hands. His abacus is very shrewd, he has no conflict with Li Yanqing, and there will be no conflict in the future. Dugu Wu will definitely not interfere in the affairs of Xingyang County, so let Li Yanqing do it.
Guard Luoyang and make the surroundings peaceful.
Befriended Li Yanqing and let him charge in front.
Li Yanqing lost, and it had nothing to do with Dugu Wu; Li Yanqing won, and he can also share some oil and water. So why not?
As for Wang Shichong...... Who remembers this unlucky bastard?
As soon as this heart is gone, the mood is extraordinarily bright.
Just when Yang Tong and the others were drinking, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall.
A small yellow door stumbled up the hall, and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, something is wrong!" ā
"What's so alarming?"
"That Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong is reversed!"
Wang Shi is reversed?
Yang Tong and the others couldn't help but be stunned, and they couldn't react at once. Fortunately, Lu Chu's reaction was fast, he put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and said angrily: "I have long known that this barbarian has no good things, and it is true...... The king, the last general, requested the transfer of troops to pacify Yangcheng County. ā
"General Lu, it's not Yangcheng County...... It's Luoyang! ā
Ai Ai said: "Wang Shichong has led his troops into Luoyang and is approaching the imperial city. ā
"Ah......h
Everyone was shocked, including Dugu Wu, and they couldn't keep their previous calm.
"Wang Shichong arrived in Luoyang? When to arrive in Luoyang? Why is it not reported? ā
"Duan Da, Duan Da old thief!"
Yuan Wendu reacted immediately and scolded, "It must be the collusion between Duan Da and Wang Shichong, otherwise how could Dongdu not know Wang Shichong's movements?" ā
"A few Qing families, what should we do now?"
Although Yang Tong forced his composure, the trembling voice still betrayed the fear in his heart.
"Your Majesty, close the palace gate at once, and be sure to guard the imperial city...... As long as Wang Shichong can't attack, sooner or later reinforcements will arrive. By the way, light the beacon fire, light the beacon fire, and gather all the people to King Qin. There are many generations in Luoyang, how can you see that Wang Shichong is so rampant? ā
Lu Chu shouted loudly, and immediately made Yuan Wen nod in agreement.
Dugu Wudu said: "There is still a forbidden army in the imperial city...... Although General Pei is not there, the king can also personally command and dispatch people.
ordered Baye Gang to attack and stop Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong came to Luoyang unconsciously, and he would not bring too many people and horses...... Also, Fei Yao was ordered to guard the Sun Gate, and Huangfu Wuyi was ordered to guard the Right Gate. As long as he can hold on until dawn, Wang Shichong will know that it is difficult to retreat. ā
"That's right, close the palace gate and hold on to the imperial city!"
Yuan Wendu also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support it for too long just by holding on. The minister has a plan, which can break the king and fill the army. The forbidden army in the palace was willing to go out from the Xuanwu Gate and sneak attack Wang Shichong around Luoshui. If he succeeds, he will be attacked inside and outside, and Wang Shichong will be defeated. ā
"Yes, inside and outside!" Yang Tong was in a hurry, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Immediately announce that Changqiu will order Duan Yu to come and order the Yuan Taifu to leave the Xuanwu Gate." ā
At this time, there was a great chaos in Luoyang City.
