Every time Yu Wenhua attacked Liyang Cang, Li Mi attacked him from behind, making it impossible for him to exert all his strength.

Yu Wenhua and every battle were ineffective, and finally formed a confrontation with Li Mi.

The confrontation between the two sides is very unfavorable to Yu Wenhua, and the army of more than 100,000 consumes a lot every day, and Yu Wenhua and such consumption really can't afford to hurt.

When he was at a loss, Yu Wenhua actually got a great news, - Li Mi sent someone to ask for peace!

For such strange news, Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi looked at each other, and said in disbelief, "How is this possible?" ”

Yuwen Zhihe thought for a while before he said, "It's not impossible, the Wagang army is now confronting us, if the people of the Eastern Capital are smart, they are likely to copy their back road, and he can be regarded as suffering from the enemy; Besides, he confronted us with more than 100,000 troops, but other forces were constantly expanding, and his losses were not small. ”

Yu Wenhua was still a little puzzled, shook his head and said, "The question is, what does it mean to seek harmony, do we have common interests?" Capture the Eastern Capital together? ”

"Is Dongdu so easy to attack? He has been confronting us for so many days, and Dongdu has long been relieved, and it is a fool's dream for him to attack Dongdu! As long as he is willing to promise us food, it is not impossible to strike the army," Yuwen Zhihe said disapprovingly when he heard his brother say this.

"With food, we have combat effectiveness, and after we have eaten enough, let's counterattack the past!" Yu Wenzhi and a little bit, Yu Wenhua and finally laughed deeply.

"Improving our combat effectiveness is one thing, and it is also necessary to bring Yang Shanhui over, and now they are on the verge of collapse; If we can support and give them some food, it won't be a problem for them to join us in attacking Wagang."

The two brothers immediately made a plan for negotiation, and then received an envoy sent by Li Mi.

After some bargaining, the two sides finally agreed to a temporary armistice.

In the agreement, Yu Wenhua and one side needed to abandon the attack on the Wagang army, and the Wagang army would provide them with food and open the way to the north and west, allowing them to return to Chang'an or Zhanji and Dongjun

In the face of such an agreement that is extremely beneficial to his side, Yu Wenhua really has no reason not to nod; If Yu Wenhua can really follow the route specified by Li Mi to go north or west, it is obviously acceptable to Li Mi.

The problem is that Yu Wenhua doesn't know how much food Li Mi will provide for him, so going north or something is really not the first choice.

As for the westward expansion, the westward expansion is indeed the dream of Yu Wenhua and the more than 100,000 Xiaoguo troops under him, the problem is that Li Yuan took the first step to capture Tongguan a few days ago.

Since getting the news of Li Yuan's entry into the customs, Yu Wenhua has actually been in a dilemma, if more than 100,000 Xiaoguo troops also get this news, he has reason to believe that he will soon become alone

In fact, Yu Wenhua is at a loss now, and he doesn't know where else he can go.

The only option may be to grab the granary that the Wagang army is now occupying, right?

After reaching an armistice agreement, Li Mi poured no salt, and soon sent Yu Wenhua and more than 100,000 troops to eat food for three days.

Yu Wenhua was so excited that he even made the decision to let them eat and drink in order to intensify the morale that had been somewhat depressed in recent days due to food restrictions.

Three days of food were wiped out in just two days.

Yu Wenhua then shamelessly wrote to Li Mi to urge him to send the same amount of food as last time

After mistakenly thinking that Li Mi would respond to his requests, Yu Wenhua sent someone to take the initiative to send some food to Yang Shanhui, hoping to win him over and agree on a date to jointly launch a general attack on the Wagang army.

After more than 100,000 Xiaoguo troops ate the second batch of grain sent by Li Mi, the third batch of grain was delayed, and Yu Wenhua had to write a letter to condemn Li Mi for being unkind; The latter said that his decision was questioned by the big boss Zhai Rang, and he was trying to convince him to send food as soon as possible.

For Li Mi's prevarication, Yu Wenhua had no choice but to urge him one letter a day; At the same time, he pinned high hopes on the Eastern Capital, hoping that Wang Shichong would be able to lead troops to copy Li Mi's back road.

At this moment in the Eastern Capital, looking at Li Mi's continuous good news from the emperor and the civil and military officials, everyone was overjoyed; Some people even thought that after the imperial court recruited the Wagang army, it was not impossible to eliminate the rebellious party and restore the country.

Among the praises of merit, only Wang Shichong was depressed, perhaps because he was defeated by the Wagang army, or he really understood Li Mi's current intentions.

At the celebration banquet held by Yuan Wendu, Wang Shichong finally couldn't stand the appreciation of Li Mi by a group of civil and military generals, and stood up angrily and said loudly, "The officials of the imperial court actually gave robbers, what do you want to do?" ”

Wang Shichong has always been left and right, and as soon as this inopportune remark came out, the scene suddenly quieted down.

Yuan Wendu's face immediately darkened, but he didn't express any opinion, just watched Wang Shichong leave angrily.

After returning to the camp, Wang Shichong repeatedly said to his son, "Yuan Wendu, these sword and pen officials who can only put their mouths and cannons, actually think that Li Mi can be trusted!" We have been fighting with the Wagang Army for so long, and the number of people who have killed each other is not a million, but a hundred thousand, we are born enemies, is it possible to resolve them? ”

Wang Xuanying and the others felt the same way, and immediately echoed, "Father is right, Li Mi has won many battles now, and has won the trust of His Majesty and the ministers; Not to mention that Li Mi finally won the world, even if we stand firm in the court, we will not have good fruit to eat."

The news of Li Mi's successive victories made the generals under Wang Shichong have a hint of crisis, which is also because of Wang Shichong's guidance; If there is no empathetic idea for Wang Shichong, who can think so far?

Wang Xuanying expressed his attitude, and all the generals also echoed all the orders of the commander, and Wang Shicheng immediately began to plan to get rid of Yuan Wendu and other Wenchen generals who sang praises for Li Mi.

Of course, there are too many of these people, and all Wang Shichong can do is to capture the thief and capture the king first.

Just when Wang Shichong was thinking about getting rid of Yuan Wendu, Yuan Wendu was also planning to get rid of Wang Shichong, and his statement was agreed by Lu Chu; The problem is that they don't have military power, and all they can do is kill people with a knife.

Whose knife to borrow? Duan Da or Huangfu Wuyi?

Although Huangfu Wuyi is currently standing in the ranks of singing praises for Li Mi, Yuan Wendu remembers that the first thing Wang Shichong did after entering the Eastern Capital was to say good things for Huangfu Wuyi and let him be reinstated from prison.

Huangfu Wuyi can't do it, so he can only be Duan Da, who often disagrees with himself.

In terms of qualifications, Duan Da is actually older than Yuan Wendu, and he followed Yang Jian before and was the founder of the country.

When the Great Sui was established, Duan Da was named the general of the chariot cavalry by Yang Jian, and was later promoted to the third division of Yitong because of his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion of Gao Zhizhi in Jiangnan; After Yang Guang took power, Duan Da was awarded the title of Guanglu doctor for his meritorious service in the conquest of Tuyuhun.

Before Yang Guang left the Eastern Capital, both Duan Da and Yuan Wen were appointed by him as ministers of Tuogu.

Although he and Duan Da have different political views many times, Yuan Wendu also believes that outsiders like Duan Da and Wang Shichong can't urinate in the same pot.

Yuan Wen had never heard of tragic stories such as "the villagers saw the villagers, and the tears were full of eyes", so Duan Da defined Duan Da's intimacy between Wang Shichong and himself by the distance of the region, so it was logical to choose him as his knife.

After Duan Da got the secret order from Yuan Wendu, he couldn't help but slander in his heart at that time, "Literati are so naïve? Let me deal with Wang Shichong, who holds the power of the Eastern Capital, is this to send me to death? ”

Duan Da hadn't thought that Yuan Wen would kill Wang Shichong before, and he didn't want to get involved in the factional struggle that would continue to die because of political disagreements, but since this matter was on him, could he still pretend to turn a blind eye?

Even if he didn't do it, would Wang Shichong let himself go? Will Yuanwen let himself go?

Just after a little comparison, Duan Da chose to send this news to Wang Shichong.

"I didn't think that Yuanwen had this means, okay, I underestimated you!" Wang Shichong received the superstition sent by Duan Da, and immediately reviewed his underestimating enemy, and then immediately ordered people to gather soldiers and prepare to move.

Wang Shichong's army of Hanjiacang has always been in a state of battle, and it was only an hour from receiving superstition to marching into the eastern capital.

Since Duan Da ordered someone to send a letter, there was no reason not to send someone to answer it, so Wang Shichong's army entered the eastern capital through the wide open city gate without much effort.

After entering the Eastern Capital, Wang Shichong's army went straight to Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu's mansions.

Politics. Struggles are always extremely cruel, and Wang Shichong has never been a benevolent master, so after entering their mansion, he kills people when he sees them; Not a single bad guy was spared, nor was there a single good guy spared

How could Yuan Wendu have thought that disaster would fall from the sky? After sacrificing some of his guards, he escaped over the wall and headed straight for the imperial city.

After Wang Shichong learned that Yuan Wendu had fled to the imperial city, he then rushed over and ordered people to surround the imperial city.

After Yang Tong sheltered Yuan Wendu, he was also in a hurry, and he trembled and climbed to the top of the city and shouted to Wang Shichong below, "General, what are you going to do?" ”

Although he mustered up the courage to question Wang Shichong, Yang Tong was most worried that he would answer the word "rebellion", there were too many people who thought of rebellion, Luo Yi, Yu Wenhua, Li Yuan, etc.

Even if Wang Shichong really wanted to rebel, Yang Tong would not be surprised.

Fortunately, Wang Shichong replied crying, "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't want to rebel, he just wants to clear the king's side!" Yuanwen wants to coerce you into surrendering to Li Mi, can't you fall for him?"

It's not a rebellion, isn't it? Yang Tong resolutely let go of his heart.

Yuan Wendu listened to Wang Shichong's heart-wrenching words, and immediately knelt down behind Yang Tong, and tried his best to explain with tears in his eyes.

What does it mean to surrender Li Mi? Didn't you say that you would let them eat dogs? I didn't come up with this plan, and besides, didn't everyone agree to it?

With all kinds of grievances in his heart, who can Yuan Wendu tell to?
