The unexpected joy made Yuan Junzhang almost cry with excitement, and it was not until Su You said that there were conditions, and he finally calmed down, and asked calmly, "General, please speak." ∽ ↗ top ∽ ↗ little ∽ ↗ ↗ said, "

Su You nodded, immediately looked at Yuan Junzhang and said, "My first condition is that I will only provide men and horses and hand/thunder, and you will provide all the food and grass they need. ”

Yuan Junzhang nodded without hesitation, "This is natural." ”

Su You then said, "My second condition is that the people I support you must not be scattered, and they will be commanded by the people I designate."

"I can guarantee that I won't disrupt the formation, but if there is no unified order" Yuan Junzhang hesitated a little, on the one hand, Su You's reinforcements were very powerful, and he could not afford to lose.

On the other hand, Su You's reinforcements staying by his side are also an unstable factor, they can fight against Li Tang with themselves, and they can also directly attack their own side.

Su You's reinforcements are too strong, and it will definitely not work for them to trust the reins, and the command must be on their side.

"Are you worried that my people will be bad for you? Don't worry, if I really want to be an enemy of you, it won't take much to come openly" Su You obviously saw Yuan Junzhang's worry, and then said with some disdain.

Yuan Junzhang immediately became a little embarrassed, Su You's words were too harsh, but now the situation is weaker than people, and his little villain's heart really can't be used as a reason to refuse.

Yuan Junzhang nodded, and hurriedly distinguished, "The general has misunderstood, and he just thinks that it is better to unify the order, as the saying goes, 'Brothers work together, and their profits are gold'; if the people sent by the general can guarantee to cooperate with our actions, I will unify the general's request in principle." ”

Su You didn't say anything, but directly put forward the third condition, "I hope that my reinforcements can follow Wei Chi Jingde's people to act together"

"Wei Chi Jingde? Why? Yuan Junzhang was immediately stunned and asked a little puzzled.

According to the details of Wei Chigong that Yuan Junzhang learned from Liu Wuzhou, Wei Chigong had served with Su You in the early years of the same service as Yang Ying, the king of Qi, and later Wei Chigong returned to the eastern capital to join a certain chaotic party organization, and then became an enemy of the king of Qi

It's not strange to think about the chaos of the party or something, but it was quite serious ten years ago; The reason why Wei Chigong was able to leave safely was also thanks to Liu Wuzhou, which was also the reason why he followed Liu Wuzhou later.

"There's no why, just say it's okay, if it doesn't work, it doesn't seem that our alliance is too necessary." Su You didn't answer him, but became resolute.

Yuan Junzhang didn't expect Su You to be so optimistic about Wei Chigong, and immediately smiled and said, "The general is too worried, this is not a problem at all, Jingde and us are brothers in life and death, and the general's reinforcements follow him, which is equivalent to acting with us." ”

Su You nodded, no longer fighting fearlessly with Yuan Junzhang.

Yuan Junzhang waited for a while before he plucked up the courage to say, "I wonder when the general can send troops?" ”

Su You replied, "Within five days, Mr. Yuan can give Brother Wu Zhou the exact news later, and ask him to send someone to Jingcheng Pass to answer, as for other details, I will send someone to discuss with you in detail." ”

Yuan Junzhang had an unexpected harvest from meeting Su You this time, and at this time, he heard that Su You had the intention of sending off guests, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

Su You didn't keep him, and immediately asked people to take him to discuss cooperation with Pei Shiju in detail, and at the same time, he asked Wang Xuan to come, he was the first choice in Su You's heart to lead reinforcements.

Su You had already reported the news of the founding of the country internally, so he had the right to appoint officials independently, and when Wang Xuan arrived, Su You first appointed him as the general of Yingyanglang, and then sent him the order to support Liu Wuzhou.

The Ying Yanglang of the Great Sui will be equivalent to the ten thousand masters of the later generations, and the soldiers under his command will be less than 10,000 or more than tens of thousands, so when he heard that Su You appointed him, Wang Xuan immediately burst into tears, and he felt sorry for Su You, the Bole.

But when Wang Xuan heard that Su You only gave him five hundred light horses, and he was going to support Liu Wuzhou, the look on his face was a little uncertain.

Let's not talk about the fact that Ying Yanglang will only bring five hundred light horsemen, just saying that he went to support Liu Wuzhou made Wang Xuan a little embarrassed.

Liu Wuzhou was Wang Xuan's old master, because Wang Xuan vowed to destroy the Turks and Liu Wuzhou defected to the Turks, so they parted ways, but now Su You hopes that they can work together, which is really difficult for him to accept

However, the first duty of the soldiers was to obey orders, and no matter how much Wang Xuan resisted Su You's orders in his heart, he still took the five hundred soldiers arranged for him by Su You and began to march towards Liu Wuzhou's territory.

Just when Su You and Yuan Junzhang were calculating Li Yuan's territory, Taiyuan, Li Yuan ushered in a major turning point in his life in Chang'an, Xijing.

As early as more than ten days ago, Li Yuan occupied the Yongfeng warehouse, and then opened the warehouse like Li Mi and Liu Wuzhou to release grain to help the hungry.

Subsequently, under the opening of Li Xuanba, Li Yuan led the Chinese army to arrive at Dashang, stopped in the northwest of Chunming Gate in Chang'an, and joined the army led by Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, with a total strength of more than 200,000 people.

Li Yuan ordered the whole army to live in the camps and fortresses, not to go out of the camp to harass the local villages, not to harass the local villagers, and to ensure that nothing was committed; He did not give the order to attack the city, but waited for the Sui army in the city to take the initiative to surrender.

Li Yuan sent envoys into the city many times to tell the high-ranking officials of the Great Sui in the city his original intention to respect Sui, and this time he officially supported the king as the lord, hoping that the defenders in the city would not resist, but how could he persuade the defenders in the city with these words like covering his ears and stealing bells?

Of course, Yang Yu, the acting king in Chang'an City, and the civil and military officials did not surrender to Li Yuan for a long time, and were actually waiting for Qu Tutong's reinforcements; They thought that if Qu Tutong returned to Guanzhong, and the nearly 100,000 defenders of Chang'an would counterattack, Li Yuan's 200,000 rebellious troops would not be a problem at all.

The reason why Li Yuan besieged Chang'an but did not attack it was because he didn't have the worry that Qu Tutong from Hedong suddenly hit back and made his head rat at both ends?

Of course, Li Yuan's army and the Sui army in Chang'an City began to confront each other, and seven or eight days passed in a flash.

After all these days, Li Yuan regretted it a little, if he had known that Qu Tutong would not come in from Hedong and had attacked Chang'an earlier, maybe Chang'an City would have fallen into his hands by now.

Li Yuan was unwilling to take on the heavy responsibility of giving the order to attack, if the army entered the city, the swords poked on the palace, and the arrows shot on the beams of the king's house, how would the people of the world comment on him?

Li Yuan is a typical political figure, and he also has a significant thing in common with other famous political figures, that is, he wants to be a prostitute and set up a torii.

However, typical politicians always have extraordinary political wisdom, and although Li Yuan is unwilling to bear the notoriety of killing lords like Yu Wenhua, this does not prevent him from using the strategy of killing people with a knife.

Li Yuan secretly sent people to encourage the newly attached generals, saying that they did not participate in the Taiyuan Uprising, so their qualifications and merits could not be compared with those old generals who had been from Taiyuan since Taiyuan, and if they wanted to be on an equal footing with those people, there was an opportunity in front of them now.

Now that Tang Gong is trapped in righteousness, it is difficult to give the order to attack the city, why don't you take the initiative to take on the task of attacking the city and send it to Tang Gong after capturing Chang'an?

The reason why Li Yuan hinted at this meaning was that he really wanted these party members who had recently attached to him to take Chang'an for him, and secondly, he also had the intention of using the Chang'an army to eliminate these party members.

Like Sun Hua, a hero in Guanzhong, he incarnated as a leather before and after the Xinhai years of later generations. Like the party's members, their essence is the black society, looking at this Li Yuange. If you succeed in your life, you just want to work on a war fortune, but if you become the founding father because of this, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Real leather. The attitude of the party towards these local black clubs is very ambivalent.

They are in leather. Of course, there is a certain amount of combat effectiveness when it comes to life, but in the revolution. After the fate is successful, they will become the masters, and they will exploit the New Deal like vampires. the people of the house and the city.

For Sun Hua's defection, Li Yuan was extremely welcoming on the surface, just as he also welcomed anyone who was willing to defect to him. The same as the fate, actually? Of course, Li Yuan hopes that they will be dead rabbits, dogs, and birds.

Anyway, after Li Yuan's rumors spread, Sun Hua and the others were so moved that they didn't even greet Li Yuan, and they led their own men and horses to attack Chang'an City

The fact that these party members do not obey orders and do their own thing is also the reason why Li Yuan hates them.

Of course, although there are tens of thousands of unorganized and undisciplined party members like Sun Hua, they are still a scum to the defenders of Chang'an City.

Hearing that Sun Hua and others began to attack the city, Li Yuan personally rode his horse to the city of Chang'an; Seeing that the crowd was turbulent and could not be stopped, he had to push the boat down the river and give the order for a general attack.

Then Li Jiancheng and the three brothers led their troops to the city, and Li Jiancheng was responsible for attacking the east gate of Chang'an City, Li Xuanba attacked the south gate, and Li Shimin attacked the north gate.

Li Yuan issued an order for his generals to make a military order, and there must be no infringement on the seven temples of the Great Sui and the acting king and all the clan relatives, and those who violated these regulations would be exterminated.

In the siege battle, Sun Hua, the leader of the Guanzhong Righteous Army, was unfortunately killed by a stray arrow, and it was the marksman raised in Li Shimin's mansion who fired the arrow. For Li Tang's great cause, Sun Hua must die.

Sun Hua was the first batch of heroes in Guanzhong who took refuge in Li Yuan, and his reputation among the Guanzhong rebels was very high. A subordinate with too much prestige is not a good thing for the master.

Under the leadership of Sun Hua, the Guanzhong rebels repeatedly violated Li Yuan's orders, which Li Yuan could not tolerate.

In order to integrate the Guanzhong Righteous Army into an army that obeys orders and fights bravely, it is necessary to eradicate these mountaineering, and Sun Hua is a figure that cannot be bypassed.

Soon after Sun Hua's death, Lei Yongji, the head of Li Jiancheng's subordinates, took the lead in climbing the Chang'an city wall, and the soldiers defending the city collapsed like mud and sand washed by a great flood.

In the vast field, red and white Li Tang battle flags fluttered everywhere.
