In the thirteen years of the great cause, the wind has been turbulent and changeable. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

On the eighth day of October, when Luoyang Jucheng was immersed in the joy of Wang Shichong's recapture of Yangcheng County, this Wang Huzi suddenly appeared in Luoyang, united with Zuo Xiaowei's general Duan Da, as well as Baye Gang, Huang Taoshu, Fei Yao and other Sui generals who stayed in Luoyang, attacked the Luoyang Imperial City at night, and killed a total of 73 people from Lu Chumanmen, more than 130 people from the Yuan Wendu family, as well as the Sui Yang clan and Dugu Wudu.

Pei Renji, the general of the right prison gate, rescued the driver, but was told that Lu Chu and others secretly colluded with Li Mi and plotted to rebel.

Yue Wang Yang Tong announced that Wang Shichong entered the Ziwei Temple, and after a long discussion, Wang Shichong met with Liu Liangdi, the biological mother of Yue Wang Yang Tong.

Immediately, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, named Wang Shichong as the left servant, and the governor was ...... internal and external military

After dawn, Wang Shichong raised the butcher's knife again. He ordered the arrest of Lu Chuyuan, Wendu and others' henchmen Zhao Changcai, Guo Wenyi and others, and immediately beheaded. Because of Zhao Changcai and others, nearly 100 officials of all sizes in Luoyang were dismissed, and thousands of people died as a result.

Wang Shi's bloody massacre caused Luoyang to fall into a strange calm.

On October 11, Xiongji Shop, located in Fengdu, announced the evacuation of Luoyang. The Zhang clan who were sitting in the shop all left in just a few days, which also caused the Xiongji shop to close immediately. The withdrawal of the Zhang clan seems to have announced the split of Luoyang and Jiangdu. On the 15th, Wang Shichong gathered his ministers in Luoyang, wrote to Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and implored Yang Tong to ascend the throne to stabilize the situation in the Central Plains.

Then he declared that Yang Guang was the emperor and Yang Tong was the emperor to fight against Li Yuan in Guanzhong.

After Yang Tong ascended the throne, he changed the name of the year to Huangtai, that is, the 'Huangtai Lord' recorded in the history books of later generations. However, Yang Tong originally wanted to summon Li Yanqing to Luoyang, but was resolutely stopped by Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong said: "Xingyang is the key to the eastern capital, and it must not be lost, and the general needs to be in charge."

Since Li Xianbo went out of the town of Xingyang, he has been invincible and invincible, and now it is a critical time to defeat Li Mi and boost the morale of the world. Therefore, Li Xianbo cannot come to Xingyang, and he should mobilize troops to pacify Li Mi as soon as possible, so as to restore the majesty of our Great Sui. ”

In terms of reason, Wang Shichong's remarks are not unreasonable.

Although Yang Tong said that he had some regrets, it was not easy to refute. This is not only because Wang Shichong is reasonable, but more importantly, it is impossible for Yang Tong's will to be transmitted. Wang Shichong used the pretext of arresting and killing Lu Chuyuan, Wendu and others to almost clean up the ministers and workers in Luoyang. Those who refused to take refuge in Wang Shichong were either killed, or resigned and returned to their hometowns. The ministers who remained in the court were almost all Wang Shichong's henchmen...... Yang Tong had the intention to summon Li Yanqing, but he could not go against the wishes of the Manchu Dynasty.

To be precise, it is Wang Shichong's will!

******

Li Yanqing sneered and threw the official letter in his hand aside.

The official letter was issued in the name of Shangshu Province, which was actually what Wang Shichong meant: Now that the emperor has newly ascended the throne, he wants to work hard and turn the tide. However, if Li Mi is not removed, the imperial court will not be able to deal with Li Yuan in Guanzhong wholeheartedly. Therefore, please ask Li Yanqing to solve Li Mi as soon as possible in order to restore peace in the Central Plains.

The wording is very polite, but there is a hint of instruction in the words.

"This king's beard is so arrogant!"

Zu Shou and the others couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Yan Qing said: "It's okay to stay in Luoyang and achieve this position of servant, how can he not be arrogant in front of me?" ”

I think that at the beginning, when Li Yanqing was the ambassador of Henan, he was two grades higher than Wang Shichong.

Now, the left servant shoots, the governor's internal and external military, almost the same grade, can be regarded as a high power. In contrast, Li Yanqing, the Henan ambassador of the third grade, has become inconspicuous...... But how many people recognize this function of servant shooting? I'm afraid only God knows.

"Lord, what about us?"

"Since Wang Shichong is writing in the name of the imperial court, I can't help but obey, otherwise it will hit his heart.

Since this is the case, then I will send troops to fight Li Mi for a few battles. Seeing that the end is coming, Li Mi always stays outside, which is also a trouble. ”

"The Lord desires and the secret prince...... Li is fighting against each other? ”

Although Zu Shou surrendered to Li Yanqing, emotionally, he still had some gratitude to Li Mi. He also knew that Er Li would have a decisive battle sooner or later. But in my heart, I have been looking forward to the later arrival of that day. After all, Li Mi treated him well, but he betrayed Li Mi.

"If the lord and the secret prince confront each other, wouldn't it be in line with Wang Shichong's wishes?"

Wang Shichong's line of writing, secretly conspiring with the way of yang conspiracy. Li Yanqing and Li Mi fought each other, that is, the snipe and the clam competed; Li Yanqing did not move, and if he did not take any action, it could also be understood that he was colluding with Li Mi, and he just took this opportunity to make a fuss about Li Yanqing.

In short, Li Yanqing is not fighting, nor is he fighting if he does not fight, and it is inevitable that it will be difficult to ride a tiger.

After Zu Shou expressed the worries in his heart, Yanqing wandered around the room quietly.

After a while, he suddenly laughed, "Wang Shichong coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes' tricks, but he learned a lot. However, how can it be difficult for me? ”

He knew very well that Wang Shichong didn't want to kill Yang Tong, but he didn't dare to kill him.

With Li Yuan's prestige, after entering the customs, he will also serve Yang Yu as the emperor, and respect Yang Guang as the emperor. What Wang Shichong can rely on now is the puppet of Yang Tong. If he wants to gain a firm foothold, he will definitely get rid of Li Yanqing, otherwise he will have trouble sleeping. This point was already thought of when Yan Qing got Wang Shichong to kill Lu Chu and others in Luoyang. So when Wang Shichong's text arrived, he didn't feel nervous at all.

"Zu Shou, you get ready, and rush to Xinzheng immediately.

In addition, I sent someone to invite Zheng Shanguo and Zheng Gong to come, saying that I have something important to discuss with him. ”

Looking at Yan Qing's determined look, Zu Shou's heart suddenly became much more relaxed. This Wang Shichong wants to fight for the two Li, but I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed......

That night, Zu Shou got a letter and rushed to Xinzheng.

Before Li Yanqing rushed to Xingyang and began to depose Yang Qing, he and Xue Shui divided their troops into two ways. Yanqing went to Xingyang and integrated the Xingyang Shiguanmen valve, that is, Xingyang Zheng's; And Xue Shui took the majestic sea as his general, ran overnight, and arrived in Xinzheng unconsciously.

At that time, Xinzheng had no defense against the city.

Xue Shui pretended to be the Wagang army, and after opening the city gate, Xiongkuohai rushed in and killed the Xinzheng guards, and quietly controlled Xinzheng.

Li Yanqing's recapture of Xinzheng did not even alarm the Wagang army in Dalu Mountain and the Sui army in Yangcheng County.

Everything was carried out in secret, and the incident of Wang Shi's bloodbathing in Luoyang broke out immediately. All the attention was attracted by Luoyang, and Xue Shu stayed in Xinzheng for ten days, but no one knew. Dalu Mountain was the front line of the Wagang Army, where countless soldiers and horses were stationed.

Although Li Mi conspired with Wang Shichong, it did not mean that he was defenseless against Wang Shichong.

Even in Li Mi's eyes, Wang Shichong is nothing more than a clown who jumps off the beam. I will give you Wang Shichong Yangcheng County today, and I will take it back again......

As a result, Xinzheng became the logistics base of the Wagang Army in Dahushan Mountain.

All the expenditures of Da Lushan were allocated by Xinzheng. Li Yanqing and Xue Shui wanted to seize Xinzheng at that time, which was an unintentional move. When they learned of Li Mi's plan, they were vaguely aware that this was a good opportunity to seize Xinzheng. However, Yan Qing and Xue Shui also knew that it was difficult for Xinzheng to hold on for a long time. After all, it is more than a hundred miles away from Guancheng, and it is not easy to give support. Xinzheng, Guancheng, and Weishi form a triangular momentum. Li Yanqing's seizure of Xinzheng was more about giving Li Mi some trouble.

But now it seems that this Xinzheng will become an important chess piece.

As the so-called intentionally planting flowers does not sprout, unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade, which is roughly the case. After everything was arranged, Li Yanqing immediately ordered Zheng Weishan to temporarily replace Sima Xingyang in the name of Yang Qing, and to lead the military forces of Xingyang and Guancheng counties, and ordered people to transfer 2,000 county soldiers from Gong County to guard the Valley of Hundred Flowers and prepare for an attack.

Subsequently, Li Yanqing personally came to the Tiger Prison Pass to supervise the war and soldiers.

In just seven or eight days, the two and Li have clashed more than ten times, each with its own victory or defeat......

Just when everyone thought that the battle situation at Tiger Prison Pass would show a scorching trend, the Sui army suddenly attacked and defeated the Wagang army.

At the end of October, Li Yanqing connected the two counties of Yuanwu and Yangwu, and conquered Daliang City in one fell swoop and recaptured the three towns.

Li Mi immediately retreated 100 miles, and Chen 150,000 soldiers on the front line of Yanjin and Fengqiu, with Li Gongyi and Li Shanxing as the main generals, confronted the Sui army. At the same time, Li Mi personally ordered an army of 200,000 and quickly stationed in Dawu Mountain, threatening to recapture Yangcheng County before the end of the year. As soon as Wang Xuanshu saw that the situation was not good, he immediately evacuated Yangcheng County. He was very aware of the transaction between Li Mi and Wang Shichong, and he also knew that Li Mi would find out sooner or later that he had been deceived. The arrival of 200,000 troops at Da Yu Mountain is by no means something that can be stopped by Yangcheng County. However, Wang Xuanshu wanted to retreat to Songgao County, but found that Li Yanqing ordered Yao Yi to settle in the county seat of the Wushi County, and his general Wang Fubao was even more troops in Jiushan......

Jiushan is only a few dozen miles away from Songgao.

To be precise, these two counties are under the jurisdiction of Xingyang County, and it is reasonable for Li Yanqing to send troops to garrison them.

But Wang Xuanshu did not dare to vote for Li Yanqing, and led his troops to retreat from the west of Biling overnight and retreat to the area of Shouyang Mountain.

In just 20 days, the Heluo area has undergone earth-shaking changes. Wang Shichong first took Yangcheng, and then lost it, but he got Luoyang and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which can be regarded as a temporary foothold; After Li Yanqing won the three towns in a row, he extended the tentacles to Dongjun and Jiyin County. Its power to arrest ambassadors in Henan has been further consolidated, and its position in the Xingyang region is unshakable.

Yang Wang, the county guard of Liangjun, surrendered, and Li Mi's prestige was further enhanced.

Although he lost the three towns, he stabilized his position because of Liang County. What's more, Dongjun, Jiyin and Liang counties, as well as the four counties of Xingyang, are closely linked, and on the surface, their strength has increased dramatically. Li Yanqing was entangled with Li Mi in the east, and after Li Mi recaptured Yangcheng County, he directly faced Yang Gongqing, a general under Wang Shichong, in the west and eastward through Piling; If you go north, you can attack Li Yanqing.

At the same time, Li Yanqing and Wang Shichong looked at each other across the river and were on guard against each other......

In a calm situation, the three forces are entangled with each other and become intricate.

Wang Shichong was also shocked when he learned that Li Yanqing had captured the three towns.

He hoped that Yan Qing and Li Mi would fight and lose both; At the same time, he was afraid that Li Yanqing would take the opportunity to increase his strength and threaten his position in the Eastern Capital. At least, for now, although Wang Shichong has gained a foothold in Luoyang, he has not yet reached the point where he can control it.

Otherwise, the closure of Xiongji's shop and the exit of the Zhang clan, how could it be so easy?

Wang Shichong needs time to stabilize his strength;

Li Yanqing needs time to grow and develop;

Li Mi, too, needs time to lick her wounds......

You know, he used three county towns to get back control of Xinzheng. Although the ordinary sergeant did not know, some of the generals under his command were faintly aware of it. He needs time to stabilize his interior, regain his strength, and then launch a ferocious attack.

So for a while, Heluo seemed to be calm!

******

Yanqing did not stay in Xingyang County.

After he exchanged Xinzheng County for the three towns of Wu, he directly ordered Xin Wenli to lead his troops to garrison Xingze and the governor of the three towns.

Xin Wenli did not refuse, and could not refuse.

Even though he knew that the interior of Xingyang County had changed the dynasty, he pretended not to know and went out of the town of Xingze.

Xin Wenli is old and serious, not a reckless person.

If he is allowed to charge, it may not have too good an effect; But he only defended and did not attack, but he was the best choice for the three towns. Besides, he was originally the general of Yingze Yingyangfu, and he was stationed in Xingze, and even Wang Shichong couldn't find fault with it.

After arranging the military affairs of the three towns, Yan Qing took Xue out of the Zhenhu Prison again.

Xue Shui is calm and good at capturing fighters. He is not strong in force, but he has a full stomach. After thinking about it for a long time, Yan Qing secretly assisted Xue Shu with Luo Shixin as the nominal general. Originally, Yanqing's favorite person was Liu Heimin. But considering Dou Jiande, he still denied his idea. According to Liu Heimin himself, he was taken care of by Dou Jiande in his early years, and the relationship between the two was very good.

With such a relationship, how could Li Yanqing hand over the tiger prison to Liu Heimin?

Therefore, Yan Qingsuo's surname asked Liu Heimin and Luo Shixin to switch up, and ordered Liu Heimin to go out of Heishiguan, cooperate with Du Ruhui, and join forces with Chen Bing on the east bank of Luoshui. And Luo Shixin, as a general, is directly under the jurisdiction of Li Yanqing. It was not difficult to transfer him from Blackstone Pass to Tiger Prison.

With Xue in the Tiger Prison, on the one hand, it can be the cornerstone behind Xin Wenli, and on the other hand, it also has the intention of monitoring Xingyang Shixuan.

Change to someone else, Zheng Renji may not be able to accept it; But Xue Shui was also born in the world, and he was a celebrity in Shilin, and he was also the son of Xue Daoheng, these three identities were enough to make Xingyang Shixuan powerful and cooperate with Xue Shu. From this point, Xue Shu is the only suitable candidate.

After Yan Qing made all the arrangements, he immediately set off to return to Gong County.

He first went to Luokoucang to inspect it, and saw that Chai Xiaohe took care of everything refreshingly, so he didn't ask again. For the past month, he has not been in Gong County. Chai Xiaohe, as the chief appointed by him personally, sorted out everything safely.

Wang Shi was congested with blood to wash the eastern capital, and he immediately ordered Du Ruhui to lead his troops and horses to advance thirty miles to the east and garrison the Luoshui River.

Don't underestimate these thirty miles of land, it also made Yang Gongqing feel like a big enemy, and hurriedly mobilized men and horses to defend it tightly; In terms of righteousness, Li Yanqing must make a posture of a diligent king. Subsequently, Chai Xiaohe ordered Yao Yi and Wang Fubao to take the initiative to attack and occupy the Gui clan and Songgao.

Songgao, there is Songgao Mountain on the side, Yangcheng County in the south, and Jiushanzhai in the back.

In this way, it is equivalent to choking Li Mi's throat as he goes north. If Li Mi wanted to forcibly attack the Black Stone Pass, he would have to face the frontal defense of Songgao and the flank attack of the Wu clan. The Wu clan is located between the Biling and Shouyang Mountain, and Songgao County forms an angle to defend the Black Stone Pass.

These two moves can be described as exquisite, which made Li Yanqing suddenly gain the upper hand.

Yanqing sits in Gongxian, can attack Li Mi in the south, enter the eastern capital in the west, retreat from the danger of Luoshui and Heishi Pass, and have fortresses such as Piling and Jiushan, which can be described as impregnable.

Even the most picky person can't find fault with Chai Xiaohe's arrangement.

Knowing this time, Li Yanqing believed Wang Yanqing's words.

This Chai Xiaohe, if he really has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, with this person, Gongxian is safe, and Xingyang is safe. It's a pity that Li Mi doesn't know how to use people!

Let such a person come to be an undercover agent, and Li Yanqing is cheap.

Yan Qingxin said: If I change places, even if I give up those heavy grains and grass, I must let Chai Xiaohe come over and join me as soon as possible. What is a Pushan public enterprise? There is Chai Xiaohe, which can top ten or hundreds of Pushan public camps. But if not, how can I be a great sage?

"Lord, the front is Gong County, you haven't been home for almost a month, why don't you rest in Gong County today?"

Liang honestly led the horse, turned his head and said to Yan Qing.

Originally, Li Yanqing was going to go to Heishi Pass to inspect. Passing through Gong County, Liang Laoshi mentioned this, and his heart suddenly became hot.

I am not the king of Yu, and I don't have the character of passing through the door three times without entering.

Now that the situation is calm, no matter King Li, he will not start a dispute without permission. It's better to go home and have a look, so as not to resentful of the wife at home.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing nodded in goodness.

So the centaur immediately changed direction and headed towards Gong County.

"Honestly, you go home first and tell the three ladies, and say that I will go to the county government to discuss official business with Xiaohe, and then go home for dinner."

"Whoa!"

Liang Laoshi immediately got on his horse and rushed in the direction of the county office.

It was the middle of winter, and the temperature was extremely cold.

But Gong County is full of traffic, and it is a lively scene. With the increase of the population of Gong County, the area of Gong County can no longer bear this large population. So in the early autumn, Li Yanqing and others discussed the construction of a new city in Gongxian County. On the basis of the old town, new towns were added to meet the requirements of the population. The new city is close to the old city, expanding 50 miles to the west and extending 50 miles to the north and south, with a total area of nearly 700 square kilometers, equivalent to one-tenth of Zhengzhou City, the capital of Henan Province in later generations. According to this scale, even if Gong County adds another 200,000 people, it will be more than enough. And after such planning, tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land will be reclaimed to accommodate more people.

The planning of the new city was presided over by Samurai Tong.

Of course, Samurai was ostensibly just a businessman, and it was impossible for him to come forward and participate. But in fact, everything came from the hand of the samurai. According to Wushitong's plan, after the construction of the new city of Gongxian County is completed, it will almost be equal to the two current Xingyang counties, and it will become the largest city in Xingyang County in one fell swoop. For this plan, Li Yanqing is also very much looking forward to it.

The foundations of the city walls of the new city have been built, and the construction site is in full swing.

At the gate of the old city, there is a lot of traffic and a lot of pedestrians. Everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles. Especially those displaced people, their eyes are shining with hope.

When Li Yanqing and his entourage passed through the city gate, everyone stopped and gave way and saluted respectfully.

Yan Qing also smiled, and after entering the city, he ordered the others to go to the Li Mansion, and Mo Qilin went straight to the Gongxian school field. He personally led Xiong Kuohai, Kan Leng, Zheng Dabiao and Liu Heng to rush to the county government. But before he arrived, he saw a large number of people gathered at the gate of the county office.

The noise was endless, which made Yanqing frown.

"Big Kuroko, disperse the people here immediately. This is the county government, not the vegetable market! It's all gathered here, what kind of system is it? ”

Xiong Kuohai agreed, and urged Liu Heng to step forward.

"Get out of the way, Hugh has to watch here."

There are many people who know the vast sea, and they know that he is Yanqing's guard, so they hurriedly get out of the way.

Yan Qingce stepped forward immediately, and saw a young man standing at the door of the county government hall with a sword, confronting a group of officials. The samurai was also beside him, and from time to time he persuaded the young man. But the young man seemed reluctant to leave, shook his head vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Chai Xiaohe, you come out for me." If you don't explain this matter clearly, I will never give up. Even if Li Langjun is here, I have to ask for an explanation. ”

Before the words fell, I heard someone behind me: "What do you want to say about me?" ”

(To be continued)
