A gentleman can be bullied, but a villain can't be reasoned with.

Chen Fuliang asked Sun Fujia to write a letter to Wang Shichong for himself, congratulating his father-in-law on breaking Li Mi as a son-in-law, and maintaining friendly relations with his father-in-law Wang Shichong with the hope of maintaining friendly relations. However, what Chen Fuliang probably never dreamed of was that his letter, which went through the motions, led to some unbelievable consequences.

"The young and the old are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and the younger son-in-law only hates to serve the marquis and his father-in-law, and do his filial piety? I only hate to be entrusted by the emperor, and I can't respect my father-in-law as the master, but I am also willing to share the land with my father-in-law and form an alliance forever? ”

The main thing that makes Wang Shichong misunderstand is these two polite words** soup, although Wang Shichong is now accustomed to these sweet words, but Chen Fuliang's current status is put there after all, seeing these words of his son-in-law in the letter, Wang Shichong, who was already complacent after defeating Li Mi, was inevitably even more proud, and immediately handed Chen Fuliang's letter to his henchmen and henchmen, and ordered them to pass it on, so that the accomplice lackeys also knew how much respect his son-in-law had for him.

Needless to say, after reading this letter that was almost flattering, the people of the Wang family, who had already despised Chen Fuliang, were naturally even more proud, and they all thought that this was a sign that Chen Fuliang wanted to break the ground with the old Wang family. Dai Guan, Li Shiying and other officials with foreign surnames saw at a glance that this was not Chen Fuliang's courtesy, so they all admonished Wang Shichong: "Zheng Gong, Chen Yingliang has always been known for his treachery, and his words are humble, but it is because his main army is on the northern front, and the eastern front is relatively empty, so he is so low for the safety of the eastern front, and his intentions may not be good-intentioned. ”

"What kind of goods is that son-in-law of Benxiang, can Benxiang know? How can you take him lightly? Wang Shichong was indeed quite wary of his unfilial son-in-law, nodded and admitted that Dai Xuan and Li Shiying reminded him correctly, and then smiled and said: "However, this is also an opportunity, since the unfilial son-in-law of the prime minister intends to divide the territory and form an alliance forever, then you might as well send someone to talk to him about this matter, of course it is best to divide the territory and strike the sword soldiers, even if we can't, we can temporarily stabilize him, free up our hands to recapture the Tiger Prison Pass, completely eradicate Li Mi, the traitor, and cut off the Yu culture and the traitor in the north." ”

"What Zheng Gong said is that we should give priority to eradicating Li Mi and Yu Wenhua and these two traitors, and then we can free up our hands to deal with other changes." Dai Xuan echoed Wang Shichong's correct decision, and then suggested: "Zheng Gong, take advantage of the heat to strike iron, take advantage of the opportunity that Chen Yingliang's main force is currently on the northern front and dare not turn against our army, send people north as soon as possible to contact and negotiate with Chen Yingliang, and sign a peace treaty of mutual non-aggression with the existing territory as the boundary." Chen Yingliang is still trustworthy, and with the peace treaty in hand, our western front will be much easier immediately. ”

Before Wang Shichong could consider Dai Guan's proposal, Wang Shiyun and Wang Renze, father and son, had already shouted, "No!" Can that be bounded by the existing territory? Xin'an and Yiyang were robbed by the Chen thief army, Xin'an is only less than seventy miles away from Luoyang, and there is no danger between the two places to defend, so we have suffered a big loss by dividing the territory like this? To demarcate the border, the army of the Chen thief must at least retreat to Hangu Pass in Shaanxi County, and return Xin'an, Yiyang and Mianchi to us! ”

Dai Xuan rolled his eyes a little, and he was a little suspicious of whether Wang Shichong and Wang Shiyun were brothers, how could one be treacherous and slippery, and how could the other be stupider than a pig? actually wanted Chen Fuliang to spit out the fat that he ate in his mouth, isn't this a pipe dream?

However, immediately after, Dai Zhou soon found out that Wang Shichong and Wang Shiyun were indeed brothers of the same mother, and listened to the whimsical proposal of Wang Shiyun's father and son, Wang Shichong not only did not scold and scold, but also nodded and said: "Xin'an and Yiyang respectively guard the Cuihan Road and the Bears Ears Mountain Road, which have been battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and pose a huge threat to the eastern capital Luoyang. ”

After that, Wang Shichong thought about it for a while, and even said: "Let's do it, send the eldest Sun Anshi to go north to Taiyuan instead of my father, and take the opportunity to negotiate with Chen Yingliang on the pretext of thanks, and ask him to return the three counties of Xin'an, Yiyang and Mianchi." Of course, it is best to be able to get Mianchi back, and it doesn't matter much if you don't come back, but Xin'an and Yiyang counties must be taken back, and only with these two cities in hand, our army can sit back and relax. ”

Dai Xuan smiled bitterly, knowing that it was useless to oppose it, he didn't insist, and let Wang Shichong go to dream in broad daylight, but Wang Shiyun's father and son were still very dissatisfied, and still felt that Wang Shichong's concessions were too big, but fortunately, Wang Shichong didn't pay attention to them and insisted on acting like this. However, after rationally stopping Wang Shiyun's father and son's further idiot dreams, Wang Shichong suddenly smiled and said: "Princes, when it comes to the unfilial son-in-law of the prime minister, the prime minister is really a little unconvinced, the prime minister is the imperial court Kuang Fu Sheji, swept the crowd, and is still just a little duke, but the son-in-law of the prime minister has been awarded the title of prince at a young age, and the title is still above the original appearance, isn't this ......?" ”

Although Wang Shichong didn't finish his words, such explicit words have already been said, can a group of jackals, tigers and leopards under Wang Shichong's command still understand his true intentions? At that moment, Wei Jie, Yang Xu and other sycophants didn't even blink their eyelids, and immediately saluted and said: "What Zheng Gong said is extremely true, Zheng Gonggong is better than Yao Shun, and his virtue is spread all over the world, so he deserves to be crowned a prince and receive the country." ”

When Wang Shichong was pretending to be modest, Li Shiying, who was quite upright under his command, immediately objected: "No! Although Zheng Gong has made great contributions to the imperial court, but at present, Li Mi is not extinguished, Yu culture is not broken, and the land of Henan is still shared by the three families, Zheng Gong is not only premature to be the king at this time, but also will inevitably make the soldiers centrifuged, and be laughed at by the four seas. ”

Glancing at Li Shiying very dissatisfied, Wang Shichong snorted coldly and said: "My father is just complaining about being below the juniors, why is Zuo Lang so nervous?" Besides, whether this duke is eligible to be crowned a prince or not is also up to His Majesty, how can others be His Majesty's lord? ”

Li Shiying had no choice but to shut up, but Wei Jie and Yang Xu and other sycophants understood it, but it was just in the afternoon of the same day, under the direct instruction of Wang Shichong, more than ten civil and military officials headed by Duan Da entered the palace to meet Yang Dong together, and in the name of Wang Shichong's outstanding achievements, Yang Dong was asked to canonize Wang Shichong as King Zheng and Xiangguo, and even more excessively asked Yang Tong to grant Wang Shichong Jiuxi than Chen Fuliang. Yang Tong, who has a strong personality, categorically refused, but what Yang Tong said now was no different from fart to Wang Shichong, so the next day, an edict that even Yang Dong himself had never seen was announced in the court, canonizing Wang Shichong as King Zheng, Xiangguo, and Jiajiuxi, sealing the land of Henan as the land of Zheng Guo, and Zheng Guo set up the prime minister and civil and military officials.

The matter is not over, as he wished, he and his son-in-law proclaimed themselves queen, Wang Shichong still refused to be satisfied, and immediately set his eyes on Yang Tong's throne as the emperor who had already existed in name only, suggesting that his subordinates persuaded Yang Dong to give up the throne to him. However, this time, even Duan Da, who betrayed Yuan Wendu and the others, was a little unbearable, and urged Wang Shichong to wait and say, at least take the Tiger Prison Pass back to regain the initiative on the battlefield in the Eastern Capital, and at the same time make a peace agreement with Chen Fuliang first, and then consider this matter, Wang Shichong can barely listen to Duan Da's words, and try to hold back his heart's desire, while preparing for a counterattack on the Tiger Prison Pass, while waiting for the news of his son-in-law, at the same time, he can't wait to arrange all kinds of auspicious signs, Pave the way for the usurpation of the throne.

Wang Shichong is also able to employ people and seize the opportunity, and sent the eldest grandson An Shi north to negotiate a peace treaty with Chen Fuliang, for two reasons, one is that the main force of the Sui army is currently on the battlefield on the northern front, and he is unable to tolerate Wang Shichong no matter how he is unable to look east, and the other is that the eldest grandson An Shi is the cousin of Chen Fuliang's wife, the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, and Chen Fuliang has a very close relationship, so it is more convenient to speak. But what Wang Shichong never expected was that when his envoy An Shi arrived in Taiyuan in the north, Chen Fuliang had already accepted Li Jiancheng's surrender and taken the east and west cities of Taiyuan, and he had completely freed up his hands, and he was already preparing to lead the main force back to Guanzhong.

For the sake of the face of the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli, Chen Fuliang very politely met with the eldest grandson An Shi and gave a banquet and hospitality, after three rounds of wine, the eldest grandson An Shi, who shouldered the heavy responsibility, carefully put forward Wang Shichong's request, as a result, Chen Fuliang laughed when he heard it, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is really whimsical, Xin'an, Yiyang and Mianchi, these three places, are all taken back from the hands of Li Mi's traitors by the soldiers under the command of this king with blood and sweat, so there is a reason to hand it over to others for no reason?" Also, Yiyang is still my ancestral hometown, and my ancestors' mausoleums are all in Yiyang, how can I hand over the tombs of my ancestors to others? ”

"What Your Highness said is extremely true, but Your Highness, after all, you are the son-in-law of our King Zheng......."

The eldest grandson An Shi still wanted to try to persuade him, but he was interrupted by Chen Fuliang waving his hand at the beginning of the words, Chen Fuliang waved his hand and said: "No, Wang Shichong is my father-in-law, but the land of the Great Sui is owned by the imperial court, and not an inch can be given to others." Go back and tell my father-in-law that if you want to conclude a peace treaty, you can negotiate, but you must use the existing control area as the boundary! If you want Xin'an and Yiyang, you can also see if he has the ability to take it by force! It also depends on whether he can take Xin'an Yiyang, or I can take his eastern capital Luoyang! ”

The eldest grandson An Shileng was stunned, he never expected Chen Fuliang to say so much, and directly said that he was ready to go to war, and Feng Deyi, Chen Fuliang's new favorite minister who was accompanying him, was also speechless, and he also did not expect Chen Fuliang to directly threaten with force. So after Chen Fuliang sent his eldest grandson An Shi away, Feng Deyi immediately asked Chen Fuliang in surprise: "Your Highness, although Wang Shichong's request for land in the three counties is excessive, we can temporarily stabilize him as long as we pretend to bargain, why does Your Highness refuse so resolutely?" And even said the words of capturing Luoyang? Not long after the main force of our army took Taiyuan, the army and horses were tired, and the military supplies were huge. ”

"Our soldiers and horses are very tired, and the cost of military expenses is very huge." Chen Fuliang replied with a smile: "But Wang Shichong's situation is a hundred times more serious than ours, his soldiers and horses are more tired, and the consumption of military baggage is even greater. ”

Feng Deyi is a smart person after all, after listening to Chen Fuliang's answer, he carefully calculated, and soon came to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, could it be that you are deliberately luring Wang Shichong to send troops to attack the eastern front of our army?" Our eastern front army has been strong for a long time, even if the strength is insufficient to advance the eastern capital, you can protect yourself, Wang Shichong sent troops to storm the eastern front of our army, the main force of our army did not move to rest and recuperate, let the eastern front meet the enemy alone, and wait until Wang Shichong's thief army is exhausted beyond measure, and the strength is consumed to the point that there is no need to consume, and the main force of our army suddenly sends troops to the east, and then you can break through the eastern capital in one fell swoop and destroy Wang Shichong's thief army. ”

"Feng Neishi is really a smart person, and he can understand it at all." Chen Fuliang praised Feng Deyi with a smile, and said with a smile: "Wang Shichong defeated Li Miguang to restore Luokoucang, the grain and grass are already worry-free, and the strength of a large number of troops who annexed Li Mi has greatly increased. The only way to do this is to immediately pull him into the quagmire of the war of attrition, let him keep fighting one after another, keep fighting everywhere, and can't spare his hands to integrate the interior and recuperate. ”

Suddenly realized, Feng Deyi hurriedly patted Chen Fuliang on the back, and then asked cautiously: "Your Highness, what if Wang Shichong is not fooled?" Your Majesty takes the liberty of saying that Your Highness, your father-in-law, but a treacherous old fox, will not fail to see such danger. ”

"He has no choice but to be fooled." Chen Fuliang waved his hand, raised two fingers and said with a smile: "There are two reasons, first, the strategic location of Xin'an and Yiyang is important, if you can't get it back for a day, Wang Shichong won't be able to sleep well for a day, if he wants to protect himself, at least he has to take Xin'an back, so as not to have no danger to defend when the main force of our army leaves the customs." ”

"Second." Speaking of this, Chen Fuliang smiled extremely viciously and evilly, and said with a wicked smile: "Since it is beneficial for our army to start a war with Wang Shichong at this time, then it is up to us to decide whether to start a war or not-General Yun Dingxing Yun is very good at this. ”

Feng Deyi laughed, and hurriedly volunteered to write a letter to Yun Dingxing for Chen Fuliang, so that our old general Yun could try to provoke a war between the two armies and lure Wang Shichong to take the initiative to send troops to attack Xin'an Yiyang. As a result, Sun Fujia next to him told Feng Deyi with a smile, "Feng Neishi, don't bother you to write, on the third day when our army took Taiyuan, after the situation stabilized a little, His Royal Highness had already secretly ordered General Yun to try to provoke a war and lure Wang Shichong to send troops to Xin'an and Yiyang." If it goes well, maybe within this day or two, General Yun Lao will be able to form a deep grudge with Wang Shichong. ”

Feng Deyi opened his mouth and stammered, and only after a while did he bow to Chen Fuliang, praising Chen Fuliang for taking precautions and being far-sighted. And after filming the sycophant, Feng Deyi added in his stomach, "Wang Shichong, you found such a son-in-law, it is really bad luck for your mother's eighteen lifetimes!" ”

On the same day that Chen Fuliang directly threatened his father-in-law's envoy Sun Anshi with force, a major incident happened in the defense area of our old general Yun - I don't know that those soldiers of the army who should be killed by heaven turned into robbers and robbed a caravan that set off from Luoyang, the eastern capital, to Hedong to sell salt, not only robbed the cloth and silk silk used by the eastern capital caravan to exchange salt, but also slaughtered a lot of caravan guys! Meantime? Unfortunately, a few caravan guys who escaped with their lives also saw with their own eyes that after these robbers succeeded, they changed into Sui army clothes and transported the stolen goods into Xin'an City!

What's even more unfortunate is that although this Dongdu caravan is ostensibly the caravan of the Luoyang branch firm, in fact, the real big bosses of this branch business are Wang Shiyun and Wang Renze, father and son! ――Before Wang Shichong's wife remarried, the whole family was surnamed branch.

As a result, of course, it is equivalent to stabbing the hornet's nest, and Wang Shiyun's father and son, who were so furious, didn't even ask Wang Shichong for instructions, and immediately took a team of cavalry to Xin'an Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and asked General Yun Lao to hand over the perpetrator and return the stolen goods! Our old general Yun insisted that he was strict in governing the army, and such a thing would never happen under his command, not only refused to hand over people, but also pulled out the fact that Wang Shichong had sent someone to pretend to be Xiaoguo Army to assassinate his precious nephew Yunfu, and took a bite and said that Wang Shichong did it himself!

Then, Wang Ren, whose brain was squeezed by muscles, was furious, and when he pointed at General Yun Lao with a horse lance and scolded and threatened, our General Yun Lao also took the opportunity to fire the first shot, and ordered the city to fire arrows together, almost killing Wang Shiyun's father and son with arrows, Wang Shiyun's father and son fled with their legs, Xian Yuzhen did not hesitate to lead the army to chase and kill, hacked and cut many Wang Shichong's cavalry and chased and killed until Cijian, until he saw a large group of Wang Shichong's army coming to respond, and the Sui cavalry fled back to Xin'an.

The matter was so big, at first Wang Shichong was quite patient, while scolding Wang Shiyun and his son who led the army to cross the border without permission, he sent a messenger to contact General Yun Lao and asked General Yun to explain this matter - even if you Yun Lao Man is more reasonable, you don't need to be so heavy, right? As a result, our old general Yun rolled his eyes upwards and replied, "I didn't explain!" Wang Shiyun and Wang Ren slandered the soldiers of our army for pretending to be thieves and robbing first, leading the army to cross the border behind, and at the end they insulted and threatened the old man, and the old man also asked him Wang Shichong to explain! ”

The envoy brought General Yun back to Luoyang, Wang Shichong was furious and almost wanted to send troops to attack Xin'an immediately, but after being held back by Duan Da and Dai Xuan and others, Wang Shichong barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and sent someone north to contact his son-in-law again, asking his son-in-law to come forward to clean up the brazen General Yun, and prepare to wait for his son-in-law's reaction - of course, if Wang Shichong could know that this matter was completely at the behest of his precious son-in-law, he would definitely not have any hope.

Before Chen Fuliang reacted, and before the eldest grandson An Shi brought a ruthless answer, there was also a bad goods that added fuel to the fire - Li Mijun's meticulous work reported the news of the conflict between King Chen to Li Mi, and Li Mi, who was recuperating from his injuries on the white horse, only thought about it for less than five minutes, and immediately ordered: "Send someone to Yang Jishan to give an order, let him give up the Tiger Prison and retreat to the east, and withdraw to Guancheng for food." ”

"Teacher, did you hear me right, are you going to give up the Tiger Prison Pass?" Wang Bodang next to him exclaimed and asked, "Why do you want to give up the Tiger Prison Pass?" Is that our last hope for a counterattack on Luokoucang? ”

"Do we still have the strength to counterattack Luokoucang?" Li Mi said weakly: "Including the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass, our army has only more than 20,000 people left, and there is a lack of food, grass and ordnance, the soldiers are injured and weak, and the elite is scarce, where can it still be Wang Shichong's opponent?" Unless a miracle happens, we will never get Luokoucang back. ”

"But don't we need to rush to give up the Tiger Prison Pass?" Wang Bodang insisted: "As long as the Tiger Prison Pass is in our hands for one day, we still have a glimmer of hope to recapture Luokoucang, the Tiger Prison Pass is high and deep, and it can be held for a long time, there is no need to give up in vain?" ”

"Don't understand, do you?" Li Mi smiled and said lightly: "In fact, only if we give up the Tiger Prison Pass, the hope of recapturing Luokoucang is greater, because after we give the Tiger Prison to Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong will no longer have to worry about his lifeline Luokoucang being attacked by us, and he can rest assured that the main forces will be concentrated on the eastern front to seize the two strategic places of Xin'an and Yiyang, Chen Yingliang traitors will definitely not easily give up Xin'an and Yiyang, the two bridgeheads for entering the Central Plains, they will fight together, and our chances will not be great?" Too much? ”

Wang Bodang suddenly realized, and then he no longer objected to Li Mi's decision to abandon the pass. Li Mi, whose injuries have not healed so far, sighed softly, looked at the beams on the top and muttered, "Thief Chen, don't get complacent too early, don't think that I can no longer threaten you, or it won't be long before I will reappear in front of you and fight you to the death!" ”
