As Duan Ruo expected, Yu Wenxin became Yuci's guard on the second day, and Li Yuanji's prisoner on the third day.

Thanks to the conspiracy of Zhang Da and the defenders of Yuci Dongcheng, Wei Chigong led an army of 10,000 to enter Yuci City almost effortlessly.

Yu Wenxin, who set out with an army of nearly 10,000 people and now only returned with more than ten people, was naturally imprisoned by Li Yuanji.

In fact, when Li Yuanji sent Yuwenxin to defend Yuci, he sent 800 li to report the current situation of Taiyuan to Chang'an, but unfortunately when Yuci was taken, the messenger had just entered Tongguan.

When Li Yuan received the urgent letter from Taiyuan, Liu Wuzhou's army had already occupied all the small cities around Jinyang City, and it took less than ten days to form a pattern of the countryside surrounding the city.

Looking at the civil and military forces who came in a hurry in front of him, Li Yuan's mood was extremely depressed, although these people all followed him from Taiyuan to Chang'an, but none of his most powerful children were now around.

After the eldest son, Li Jiancheng, participated in Li Yuan's Zen ceremony, he hurried back to Hedong and put on a posture of attacking the eastern capital and Hebei. - Originally, Li Yuan didn't want Jiancheng to leave Chang'an, but Li Jiancheng knew that he was not the prince of the peaceful and prosperous era.

If he doesn't take advantage of the current situation to make more military achievements, it will be impossible for the military generals in the future to support him to succeed his father on the throne as emperor.

Li Shimin was not by Li Yuan's side either.

After the defeat of Xue Rengao in Shallow Shuiyuan, the Qin army was already fragmented, but the war was far from over; Li Shimin led an army of 30,000 to pursue the victory, and wanted to take over the right land of Longyou.

Li Shimin was followed by Yin Kaishan and Liu Hongji, with the help of Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan and others, plus Li Yuan kept sending envoys to persuade him, Longyou County had surrendered 7788.

Li Xuanba defeated Liang Shidu, and after Guo Zihe was surrendered, he stayed in Yulin; Li Xiuning had arrived at Weize Pass to the east of Taiyuan, but what he was doing was preparing to attack Hebei.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan had a headache and looked around at the ministers.

In the main hall, everyone remained silent, Li Yuan's eyes fell on Pei Lian, and he said in a deep voice, "Pei Changshi, Liu Wuzhou is going south, what do you think?" ”

Pei Lin straightened his waist and said, "Back to Tang Gong, a mere Ma Yi lieutenant, with no roots and no foundation, how big of a climate can it be?" In Weichen's view, tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Taiyuan have enough grain and grass, and there are King Qi, Yu Wenxin, and Dou Dan to guard it, and Liu Wuzhou is extremely difficult to overcome. ”

"If you follow Pei Changshi's suggestion, how should you help?" Li Yuan said softly.

Pei Lin said solemnly, "The old minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Zhao can borrow the grassland to save Zhao from Yanmen Nanru and Wei Wei." ”

"This is a good idea, even if Xuanba fights Liu Wuzhou head-on, he is not afraid of him!" Li Yuan really has nothing to worry about his third son, Li Xuanba, not only because of his amazing force, but also because he easily took down Liang Shidu and Guo Zihe.

In Li Yuan's mind, Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe, and Liu Wuzhou were originally enemies of the same road, as long as Li Yuanji could hold on to Taiyuan, it was only a matter of time before Li Xuanba conquered Liu Wuzhou.

And when Liu Wu was attacking Taiyuan around him, Li Jing frequently sent good news to Su You, who was still besieging Qi County.

Just when Su You began to besiege Qi County, Liu Lancheng of Beihai led 3,000 elite soldiers to Benlei Plain, and brought a large amount of grain with the army, preparing to solve the urgent need of Wang Bo, who was besieged.

The reason why Liu Lancheng led 3,000 elite soldiers to rescue Wang Bo was a last resort, and soon after the Hebei army crossed the river, Wang Bo sent an envoy to Beihai for help.

Wang Bo claimed that if there were no reinforcements from Beihai, he would lead 2,000 cronies back to Changbai Mountain and surrender Qi County to Su You; If Su You easily took Qi County, his next goal would definitely be to reach Beihai, how could Beihai resist the offensive of Su You's army at that time?

Gong Shun, the possessor of Beihai, also knew that there would be a battle with the surging Su Youjun, and it was always more advantageous to use Qi County as the main battlefield than Beihai as the main battlefield.

Although Beihai is not thriving today, it is much better than other counties under the control of the mutant army, plus Beihai produces salt; Liu Lancheng controlled the sale of salt road land, so Beihai County had plenty of money and grain, and the people could eat enough.

The weapons and equipment of the Northern Navy are not much worse than those of the ordinary Great Sui Forbidden Army.

Therefore, Liu Lancheng led 3,000 elites to Qi County, and Gongshun led another 3,000 soldiers to stay in Beihai.

Six thousand soldiers, this is the upper limit of the number of soldiers that can be supported in Beihai, even if all these people are combined, I am afraid that they are not the opponent of the 10,000 people led by Li Jing, not to mention that they have been separated early?

As soon as Liu Lancheng left, Li Jing's army arrived in Beihai, and Gongshun, who was grabbing the grain, was suddenly shocked, and he had no clue in the chaos.

Almost effortlessly, Li Jing captured the empty defense of Yidu City, and captured Gongshun, who had not had time to escape, some of Gongshun's troops were scattered in the countryside as thieves, and most of the others laid down their weapons and surrendered.

After Wang Bo learned the news from Beihai, he had no choice but to find another way to retreat.

When the two armies face each other, if one side wants to retreat, it must leave behind the broken troops, otherwise the retreat will turn into a rout; Wang Bo is also a person who knows the soldiers, so of course he understands this truth.

Wang Bo naturally counted Liu Lancheng into account, and after concealing the news of Beihai, he made Liu Lancheng's troops his broken division.

Although Wang Bo left Qi County overnight, he was still ambushed by Su Youjun for some reason. These soldiers who were originally thinking of fleeing for their lives only thought about running for their lives for a while, and the good army of 30,000 turned into a pot of porridge.

As a result, a small part of Wang Bo's army was trampled on each other and killed by Su Youjun, and most of them chose to surrender, and finally Wang Bo left Qi County with 200 personal guards and foot soldiers.

Wang Bo led these two hundred guards all the way to Jibei County, and it was his sworn brother Fude who wanted to defect.

Wang Bo's sudden withdrawal surprised Liu Lancheng, and he hurriedly led the Beihai Navy to retreat, while Li Jing was already waiting for his arrival in Beihai County.

When Liu Lancheng learned that the entire territory of Beihai had been taken by Li Jingbu, Gongshun had surrendered to the Hebei Army, and his relatives and clansmen who had stayed in Yidu had also fallen into the hands of the Hebei Army, he had no choice but to lead his troops to surrender.

Li Jing, who took Beihai County, began to divide his troops to attack the Xiami, Donglai, and Gaomi counties north of the Great Wall of Qi, and if there was no accident, most of the land on the Shandong Peninsula would fall into Li Jing's hands in a short time.

After entering Qi County, Su You began to revisit the old land, met with his old friend Yan Shigu and asked him to go to Sanshan with him, hoping that he could help him establish a country that belonged to the people.

Xia Gao also returned to Qi County, and expressed his sincerity to Su You for the first time, and Su You also met Luo Shixin, who was relieved and returned to the field after Li Mi broke through the Tiger Prison Pass.

Under Su You's sincere request, Luo Shixin finally agreed to go out of the mountain again to help Su You fight the world.

At the same time, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin, with the sincerity of Zhai Rang and Li Mi, said that they wanted the Shuai Wagang army to surrender to Su You; This was originally a trick made by Su You, so there was nothing to disallow it.

In this way, the territory of Wagang is immediately owned by Su You.

Judging from the land that Su You currently occupies, he has become a well-deserved first person in troubled times.

Su You's territory extends to the Donglai area in the east, Hugaoguan in the west, Xuansu County in the north, and inevitably to Qian County, except for Lu County, Dongping, Xu Yuanlang's territory, and Jinan Jibei County, and other Fude territories, he has basically ruled Shandong, Hebei, and the Central Plains.

After receiving the submission of the Wagang army, the news that Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor in Guanzhong also spread to Qi County.

Li Yuan didn't say anything about this family, even Wang Shichong, Hu Er, had already been called the emperor, if Su You was only his general, it would be a little out of place.

Unless Su You has no idea of dominating the world, then he can still be the head of himself like Du Fuwei, if he wants to compete with the heroes in the world, then he must speak to the enemy on the same level.

Ascending the throne as an emperor is just because of his status, but it is imperative!

Even if Su You didn't have this intention, the civil and military officials under him would persuade him to enter in due course, which showed that they had decided to tie themselves to Su You, - if you advance, you will live, and if you retreat, you will die!

What's more, if Su You is the emperor, the status of the civil and military officials will also rise.

There was almost no discussion, and the issue of Su You being called emperor was established, but it was really a question of where to call the emperor, and after two days of discussion, it was finally decided to return to Sanshan.

After all, Su You's determination to establish a country had spread throughout Sanshan as early as the beginning of April, and now it has entered July; He couldn't let down the people of the Central Plains, who were the first to follow him, Sanshan, so it was time to go back to Sanshan.

In the two days when and where to be the emperor, the news that Li Xuanba killed Liang Shi and subdued Guo Zihe and Liu Wuzhou went south came one after another, and Su You's mood suddenly became bad.

Seeing that Su You's face became a little cloudy, Lai Yanbei couldn't help but ask with concern, "Is something wrong?" ”。

Su You shook his head with a smile and said, "Liu Wuzhou decided to wave his troops south and capture Hedong. ”

"That's good news, why are you frowning?" Lai Yanbei was suddenly a little puzzled.

"The news is good news, but it's not a good time. Liu Wuzhou is now almost all in the south, desperate, and I am only worried that he will repeat the mistakes of the past. Xue Ju learned from the previous car, and he couldn't help but guard against it. ”

Lai Yanbei nodded and did not speak, but Su You continued, "Liu Wuzhou went south from Mayi. If he only goes all out to attack Taiyuan and conquer Taiyuan, it will undoubtedly give Li Yuan a blow to the head. If he is going to continue southward, the battle line will be too long, and I am afraid that there will be no food. The Tang army defeated Xue Ju, Liang Shidu, and Guo Zihe in a row, and now their morale is high. If he still adopts the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, Liu Wuzhou is only afraid that the rout is imminent. ”
