Soon, Luoyang sent an envoy from the king of Yue, and the envoy told Wang Shichong that the reinforcements from the imperial court had arrived, bringing the will of the saint, and asked him to feel that the eastern capital would go to face the saint. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The so-called face saint is actually a disguise, Wang Shichong knew from the first moment he received the news that this was a scam by the other party's subordinates, but the other party used a yang conspiracy, using the emperor's will to summon him, he had to go, and if he didn't go, he would have to go, otherwise he would be saddled with a reputation for not resisting the decree enough, in that case, he didn't know what would happen to the 70,000 army under his hands, but Luoyang would definitely take the opportunity to cut off his grain and not provide him with food, and the food problem was Wang Shichong's biggest headache at the moment. Although Yang Tong was very lenient to him, there was not much food in Luoyang City, so even if Wang Shichong wanted more food, he would not get it at all, and once the grain road was cut off, then his army of 70,000 would be scattered, and no one would follow a general who made the soldiers hungry, not to mention that they were all Yang Guang's elite troops, and Wang Shichong's control over them was not strong.

What should I do about this? This must be Pei Renji's ghost idea, to summon himself into Beijing, and then take the opportunity to put himself under house arrest and take away the military power in his hands, if this is in the early years of the great cause, there is nothing if there is no military power, it is normal not to fight in peacetime, and you can support yourself with anything, but now it is a troubled era, and the troubled times are an era of simultaneous heroes, if he Wang Shichong does not have an army in his hands, then he will die without a place to bury.

For a while, there were only three ways in front of Wang Shichong, one was to take the initiative to hand over the military power and enter Beijing to confess, the second was to lead the army to revolt and become a separatist force, and the third was to surrender Li Mi and become Li Mi's general.

Among these three, the first and third are not advisable, even if Yang Tong is forgiving, but Pei Renji is an old fox, so he will definitely not let himself go, and when he has no army in his hands, it is not as good as a tiger without claws, so he can only be slaughtered.

The third is not advisable, he and Li Mi have been fighting for a long time, the two sides have received a monstrous hatred, extremely hostile to each other, his men are stained with too much blood of the Wagang army, so even if he leads the troops to defect, Li Mi will not let him go, although he will not be killed immediately, but the first thing is to relieve him of his military power, and then put him under house arrest, and then kill him when everyone no longer pays attention to him.

In this way, for Wang Shichong, he can only choose the second way.

But it is simple to raise troops to revolt, but it is difficult to survive, at the moment his east is Li Mi's Wei army, north is Hebei Dou Jiande's Xia army, west is Luoyang court, south is Jiangdu court, he has nowhere to go, now the Central Plains is famine, there is no food everywhere, the population is also very powerful, if he leaves the Sui army, although the world is big, but there is no place for him at all.

However, Wang Shichong is not such an easy person to admit defeat, since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!

While getting in touch with Duan Da, his eyeliner in Luoyang City, he told Yang Dong's envoy, telling him that he would return to Luoyang soon, and promised not to bring a single soldier.

This made the messenger very satisfied, and went satisfied.

After sending Yang Dong's envoy, Wang Shichong quickly dispatched troops and asked the army to prepare three days' worth of food, but he was not prepared to pull out the camp, he knew that Pei Renji must have planted a lot of eyeliner around his army, so if the transfer of troops on his side was too big, then Pei Renji must be alert.

When the messenger brought back Wang Shichong's reply, Yang Tong was very happy, he didn't expect Wang Shichong to agree so easily, and at the same time he also had some doubts in his heart, since Wang Shichong agreed so happily, it at least proves that he doesn't have much defense in his heart, is he really as bad as Pei Renji said?

In contrast, Pei Renji was a little uneasy, Wang Shichong's performance was too abnormal, with his city, he shouldn't have guessed his intentions, he must have done it for a reason, so he told the Sui army guarding the city to pay close attention to the movements in the city, and not let Wang Shichong have a chance to sneak attack.

However, the most dangerous enemy is often not the enemy on the surface, but the enemy on the inside.

That night, Wang Shichong returned to Luoyang with 20,000 cavalry, although Pei Renji's scouts discovered the situation for the first time, but they were chased and killed by the scout army arranged by Wang Shichong, and were dispersed to deviate from the direction of Luoyang City, unable to return to Luoyang to report the news, and the information they sent to Pei Renji all day was that Wang Shichong did not move, which made Pei Renji unprepared at all, although he had told the defenders to pay attention to the guards at all during the day, but he did not know that Duan Da, who was guarding the southern city, has already secretly taken refuge under Wang Shichong.

At the time of the third watch, there was a large area of fire in the south city, Wang Shichong's 20,000 cavalry in the dark night was unstoppable, and directly rushed into the city of Luoyang, where the city gate was wide open, Wang Shichong's goal was very clear, the thief captured the king first, and the man shot the horse first, he divided into three teams of soldiers and horses, Wang Shiyun led 15,000 cavalry to seize the imperial city, Duan Da led 10,000 horses to attack the east city, and he himself took 5,000 cavalry to attack Pei Renji's residence in the city, so as not to let Pei Renji and the army in the city converge.

After Wang Shichong's army entered the city, the city was in chaos, Pei Renji was awakened in his sleep, he took hundreds of soldiers from the general's mansion to rush to the four city gates to command the army to resist, and met Duan Da's army on the way, and was killed, Pei Renji knew that it was impossible for him to arrive at the city gate, and saw a noisy noise coming from the direction of the imperial city, coupled with the fire over there, he was worried that something would happen to Yang Tong, the king of Yue, so he hurriedly rushed to the direction of the imperial city with the remaining soldiers, Along the way, he successively gathered more than 1,000 soldiers, which made Pei Renji's heart settle down a little, but the current situation is unknown, although he knows that Wang Shichong led the troops to kill back, but he doesn't know how many troops Wang Shichong brought back, and how many troops attacked the imperial city at this time.

Guarding the imperial city is the 10,000 Yulin army, this army is not a particularly elite army, most of them are children of nobles, rarely on the battlefield, they generally have little experience, especially this kind of night combat experience, so Pei Renji is worried that this Yulin army will not be able to resist and cannot protect the safety of King Yue.
