My dreams are good, and the expedition to Liao is also accidental.

After leaving this famous sentence for a large group of beautiful palace maids in the palace city of the eastern capital, our donkey master of the Great Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui, patted his ass and went down to the south of the Yangtze River, leaving a lot of messes and devastation for his feudal officials all over the country to clean up, and this time, Chen Fuliang, who had lost his conscience, was also unfortunately in it, and also provoked the burden of assisting Yang Tong, the king of Yue, to stay in Luoyang City, the heart of the world.

The list of civil and military officials who accompanied the southern tour has not changed much, and the number is slightly more, Pei Ju, Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji, Lai Hu'er and Pei Yun and other important civil and military officials who cannot leave at any time of Emperor Yang of Sui are still all with him, and Chen Yingliang's unlucky distant uncle Pei Hongce is also because of Emperor Yang of Sui personally named him, so he can only entrust the old and young in the family to Chen Yingliang, a distant nephew who was selected, and follow Emperor Yang of Sui to parade south with a sad face.

Yang Zhiji, the seriously ill Cai King, was also taken by Emperor Yang of Sui in the parade, although Yang Zhiji's current condition is very serious, and even the imperial doctor said that he is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed, but Emperor Yang of Sui is still not at ease with this cousin with extraordinary intelligence and endurance, and refuses to let Yang Zhiji stay behind. - Of course, if Emperor Yang of Sui knew that his cousin deliberately did not take medicine and made himself more and more sick, maybe he would find out more or less in his conscience, and he might also be even more suspicious of this outstanding place.

As unlucky as Yang Zhiji, there is also Emperor Yang of Sui's second son, Xiao Yang Erqi King Yang Jun, because he found that Yang Yang had secretly cursed Emperor Sui's three precious grandsons with the art of disgust with victory, Emperor Yang of Sui disliked and distrusted this unscrupulous son more and more, so he simply brought him to the parade, and specially ordered to arrange for him to serve only some old and weak entourage, so as not to have any accidents, Yang Yong, who is actually the eldest son of Emperor Yang of Sui, wanted to cry without tears, but he was completely helpless.

Among Wenxi Pei's several important ministers, Pei Renji, who had a poor relationship with Chen Yingliang, was able to stay in the Eastern Capital by luck - although this luck was due to Emperor Yang of Sui's indifference to him, Pei Renji was able to stay and become the only remaining important minister of Wenxi Pei's family in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and it also became a tight spell on Chen Fuliang's head - with Pei Renji staring, Chen Yingliang wanted to push down the little pepper Pei Cuiyun Naturally, it was not so easy.

In addition, Yun Dingxing, Chen Yingliang's old friend, was also left in the Eastern Capital and accepted the command of Chen Fuliang, a grandchild, who stayed behind, but fortunately, the biggest strength of our old general Yun is that he is thick-skinned, and there is no embarrassment about this.

The dragon boat fleet covered with red and hanging colors is mighty, stretching for more than 100 miles on the Tongji Canal, the front team has passed the Yan Division, the rear team has not yet set off from the Luoyang Wharf, the dragon boat of Emperor Yang of Sui and Empress Xiao are all four-story big ships, there are palaces and hundreds of palace rooms on the boat, the decoration is brilliant, dazzling, and then the palace concubines, princes and nobles, civil and military officials sit on the color boats, and then it is the fleet loaded with palace maids, eunuchs, guards and hundreds of officials and various materials, the colorful flags on both sides of the Tongji Canal are fluttering, and the Xiaoguo army with clear flags is lined up in the river to accompany itto protect the safety of Emperor Yang of Sui.

In the matter of touring Jiangdu, Chen Fuliang hated Emperor Yang of Sui the most, that is, Emperor Yang of Sui took away more than eighty percent of the war horses he captured on the battlefield of Yanmen, the number of which was more than 35,000, all of which were used as riding horses for the Xiaoguo army. It's a pity that Chen Fuliang couldn't do this at this time, so he could only watch with tears in his eyes as the Xiaoguo Army took away the loot he had worked so hard for, and at the end he had to pay a junior salute to Fan Wenchao, the general of the Xiaoguo Army, and repeatedly asked him to stubbornly protect Emperor Yang of Sui for himself and Fan Lao.

But fortunately for Chen Yingliang, relying on the secret help of Yuwenshu and Lai Hu'er, Chen Fuliang's best thug team reported that the national army was lucky not to be taken away by Emperor Yang of Sui, and was able to stay in the eastern capital to continue to be a cow and horse for Chen Fuliang, and at the same time, a large number of good armor and weapons hoarded in the palace city of the eastern capital, as well as the terrifying grain and grass reserves piled up in the Luokou warehouse, have become a valuable legacy left by Emperor Yang of Sui to Chen Fuliang.

By the way, Emperor Yang of Sui, who was good at changing hexagrams, did a good thing while he was on patrol, that is, he ordered the second mansion of Jishan and Highway to be moved to Luokoucang, and ordered the city to be built in case of contingencies.

On the morning of July 17, accompanied Yang Tong on the dock to tearfully send off the dragon boat of Emperor Yang of Sui, on the evening of July 18, the last dragon boat set off, Chen Fuliang, who had been left behind in the eastern capital, came to the pier again to say goodbye, watching the brightly lit dragon boat fleet gradually go away, Chen Fuliang first breathed a long sigh of relief, and then showed a little smile, and couldn't help but whisper: "Finally gone, Luoyang, the eastern capital, and now I am finally in charge." ”

"Brother Xian, you can't do this now." Fang Xuanling came up and poured cold water on him, and said in a low voice: "Now there are still many hidden dangers in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and most of the civil and military officials are not convinced by you. ”

Chen Fuliang nodded, and said softly: "It's okay, I won't be careless, I will only continue to work hard, Brother Qiao Song, you also have to lead Mr. Xuancheng and them to continue to work hard to help me." ”

Fang Xuanling smiled, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Xian, that's of course." ”

…………

How to deal with internal problems in Chen Fuliang, we don't need to pay attention to it for the time being, or continue to look at the situation on Emperor Yang of Sui's side, to say that Emperor Yang of Sui is really ominous this time on patrol, the fleet has just arrived in Bishui, and there is a low-level official who is not afraid of death jumped out, and the above table strongly persuaded Emperor Yang of Sui to give up the southern tour and return to Daxing Xidu to sit in the national capital, and immediately ordered the execution of this Fengxinlang named Wang Airen, Emperor Yang of Sui's dragon boat fleet passed Xingyang and just entered Liang County, Immediately, there were folk righteous people who were not afraid of death holding blood books to persuade Emperor Yang of Sui to return to the Eastern Capital, and also said the words that made Emperor Yang of Sui burst into a thunderous manner, "If Your Majesty must tour the Jiangdu, the world will not be Your Majesty's!" ”

After letting the Imperial Forest Army divide the corpse of this folk righteous man in public, Emperor Yang of Sui stopped a little in front of him, and no one dared to mention a word about Emperor Yang of Sui's return to the west, but just when Emperor Yang of Sui finally felt that his ears were pure, he never dreamed that one of the most important wanted criminals in the Great Sui Imperial Court, Li Mi, the former prince of Pushan County, was on the high ground on the north bank of the Tongji Canal not far from him at this moment, looking at his spectacular fleet, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Good cruise, good cruise, every place you cruise." , we have thousands more anti-Sui soldiers, and the more places you parade, the more anti-Sui soldiers we have. ”

"It's a pity that the tyrant's entourage has too many soldiers and horses, otherwise, we will do our best to mention the Wagang Righteous Army, **** on the Tongji Canal, and take down the head of this tyrant!" Wang Bodang next to him said hatefully.

"Is there such a good thing in the world?" Li Mi smiled and said, "Even if there is such an opportunity, with Zhai Rang's courage, he will not dare to do this." ”

Wang Bodang, who had officially worshiped Li Mi as his teacher, nodded again and again, and extremely agreed with Li Mi's judgment - Zhai Rang didn't even dare to accept Li Mi's invitation to peep at Emperor Sui's dragon boat fleet, and of course he didn't dare to risk attacking Emperor Sui's Luan. At this time, under the guidance of a Li Mi guard, Wang Xiucai, a knight from Liangjun who boldly married his daughter to Li Mi, trotted up to the high ground, and was so surprised that his voice trembled a little after seeing Li Mi, who had only made a slight disguise, and said in surprise: "Virtuous son-in-law, why did you come in person?" Now that both sides of the Tongji Canal are full of tyrants' soldiers and horses, what if you dare to get so close and be discovered? ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, those soldiers only care about protecting the tyrant, and they don't have the time to explore here." Li Mi explained with a confident smile, and hurriedly saluted Wang Xiucai, and then asked, "How is my father-in-law and mother-in-law lately?" How is Xiaofang lately? ”

"Okay, all right, don't worry." Wang Xiucai nodded again and again, and said: "Xiaofang will be born in two months, the virtuous son-in-law can come if he can, it doesn't matter if he can't come, the father-in-law will take care of their mother and son for you, God bless the virtuous, my daughter will definitely give birth to a son for you, and inherit the lineage for your Li family." ”

Hearing Wang Xiucai's words, although Cheng Dù, who had lost his conscience, was not under Chen Fuliang, Li Mi was still very guilty, and quickly thanked Wang Xiucai for the crime of dragging, Wang Xiucai waved his hand generously to say that he didn't have to, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, handed them to Li Mi and said: "Your brother-in-law asked me to bring it, the last few copies of the palace gate, your people didn't come to pick it up these days, so let me bring it by the way." ”

"There is a father-in-law." Li Mi took the palace gate, looked at it casually and said: "The tyrant suddenly toured south, and the inventory in Liang County was stricter, so the son-in-law did not have ......, ah." ”

Lost his voice, the palace gate in Li Mi's hand fell to the ground, and the expression on his face became extremely shocked, Wang Bodang and Wang Xiucai, who had never seen Li Mi like this, hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The tyrant appointed Chen Yingliang to stay in the eastern capital." Li Mi's voice was a little depressed, and he said in a low voice: "This time, our Wagang Volunteer Master is in big trouble. ”

"Teacher, what trouble can we have?" Wang Bodang was confused, and said: "Chen Yingliang's thief was left behind by the tyrant as the eastern capital, and the town is guarding Henan County west of Tiger Prison Pass, which is hundreds of miles away from our main activity area, what trouble can there be for us?" ”

"You don't understand." Li Mi's face was grim, and he said in a low voice: "Our main activities, Dongjun, Liangjun and Jiyin, have already been stirred up by the war, the fields are almost all abandoned, there is no food to save except for the Tongji Canal, just by plundering the Tongji Canal, it is simply impossible to maintain a stronger and stronger Wagang team, sooner or later it is necessary to develop to the west of the Tiger Prison Pass, but if Chen Yingliang's thief is sitting in the Eastern Capital, it will be difficult for us to cross the Tiger Prison Pass by one step." ”

"What's even more terrifying is that if this thief is given time, let him consolidate his remaining position, and also train the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital to mature, then sooner or later he will go out of the eastern part of the country and take the initiative to come to us for trouble." Li Mi's voice was even more gloomy, and he said, "At that time, with the huge grain reserves in Luokou Warehouse to support, and the mountains of sophisticated weapons in the Eastern Capital City to use, it is difficult for our Wagang Volunteer Master to be the opponent of his Tiger and Wolf Army. ”

Although he felt that Li Mi's words were a bit alarmist, and even more that Li Mi's worries seemed to be a bit unfounded, Wang Bodang still asked: "Teacher, what should I do?" ”

"I have to find a way to find out the truth of the Eastern Capital." Li Mi frowned and said: "Although Chen Yingliang is a thief who has made great contributions to the tyrant and has been able to excel, but after all, he is only twenty years old, three months and sixteen days, he is too young, and he is sitting in the Eastern Capital to supervise hundreds of officials, and the civil and military officials in the Eastern Capital will definitely not be convinced of him....... ”

"Teacher, you're not kidding, are you?" Wang Bodang was a little speechless and said, "You are far away in Wagang, and you also want to provoke civil strife in the eastern capital?" How is this possible? ”

"How could it be?" Li Mi smiled and said: "Don't forget, Yang Jishan's father Yang Su still has some remnants of the old party in the court, your teacher and I are one of the Guan Longba family Li Bi, Chen Yingliang thief in order to please the tyrant, instigated the tyrant to toss Li Hu so badly, Guan Longba's family is in the same spirit, must have been deeply dissatisfied, my fellow clan in the court may not want to help me do other things, but help me clean up Chen Yingliang's thief, they may not have this interest." ”

Speaking confidently, Li Mi thought about it a little more, and soon said in a low voice: "Without further ado, we must do our best to send spies to the eastern capital to find out the specific situation of the eastern capital Luoyang, and also try to contact some court officials, Bodang, your brother-in-law Pei Shufang is shrewd and knowledgeable, I want him to go, what do you think?" ”

"No problem." Uncle Wang agreed, "The teacher instructed, he has to go if he wants to excuse himself, and I will explain to him in a while." ”

…………

By the way, let's take a look at the situation of Li Yuan's family of Tang Guogong who fell into Pingyang, after preventing Chen Fuliang from staying in the eastern capital and basically finding out the situation of Emperor Yang of Sui's southern tour of the Jiangdu, Li Er did not dare to hesitate, and immediately wrote the situation into a letter, together with the collected information of the eastern capital, and handed it over to his confidant family, so that the family could send it back to Chengji and hand it over to his father, while he continued to live in Xiao Xiaoguo's uncle's mansion, while continuing to inquire about the situation in the eastern capital and looking for opportunities to achieve his goal, while waiting for his father's reply or order. - By the way, as in history, Uncle Xiao Guo did not follow Emperor Yang of Sui on his southern tour this time, and continued to stay in the Eastern Capital disgusting Chen Fuliang.

When Li Er's letter was delivered to Li Yuan, Li Yuan, who was restricted from leaving the county, was playing against his friend Liu Wenjing at home. I didn't expect to be able to jump to this point! Yang Guang tyrant, it's a shame that you dare to use people like this! ”

Liu Wenjing was shocked to ask the reason, and after taking Li Er's letter from Li Yuan and taking a closer look, Liu Wenjing was also surprised, "The tyrant actually appointed Chen Yingliang to stay in the eastern capital?" Chen Yingliang is only twenty years old, so he dares to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility? ”

After roaring and roaring for a while, forcing himself to calm down, Li Yuan thought about it for a while, and said with a blushing face: "Although the appointment of the tyrant is bold, I have to admit that this tyrant still has some ability to know and use people, although Chen Yingliang, a thief, is hateful and hateful, but he is a very suitable candidate to serve as the guard of the Eastern Capital." ”

"Guogong, the situation is not good." Liu Wenjing said in a low voice: "The tyrant took Wei Xuan as the Daxing guard, and Fan Zigai stayed in Taiyuan, which originally blocked your eastward road, and now appointed Chen Yingliang to stay in the eastern capital, which is equivalent to putting a reliable reinforcement behind the two old thieves of Wei Xuan and Fan Zigai, and Shuzhong is relatively quiet, and it is extremely difficult to go south. ”

Li Yuan didn't speak, but continued to look through the various intelligence summaries sent by Li Er, and when he saw Emperor Yang of Sui's temporary decision to build a Guancheng in Luokoucang, Li Yuan's heart couldn't help but move slightly, and he subconsciously remembered the Guandong Zhulu Righteous Army, which was the biggest threat to Luokoucang, and immediately remembered Li Mi, who had already made a public appearance in Wagangzhai. After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuan asked, "Zhaoren, how is your brother-in-law Li Mi?" ”

"He has the ability and ambition, and he is a talent." Liu Wenjing replied casually: "Although Yang Xuangan and Meng Haigong, who he assisted successively, were defeated by Chen Yingliang's thief, those people didn't listen to his good plan at all, otherwise, Chen Yingliang's thief might not be his opponent." ”

"Not bad." Li Yuan nodded slowly and said, "I remember that Da Lang once said in a casual conversation, and Chen Yingliang himself admitted that your brother-in-law was the only one who deceived him on the battlefield, and if Li Mi led the army alone to fight him, it would be an extremely exciting dragon fight." ”

"Why did Guogong suddenly bring up this matter?" Liu Wenjing asked curiously.

"Zhaoren, do you dare to sneak out of the customs and get in touch with your brother-in-law?" Li Yuan asked in a low voice.

"What is the matter with him?" Liu Wenjing asked in surprise.

"Encourage him to enter the eastern capital west and attack Luokoucang." Li Yuan said viciously: "You introduce the general trend of the world to him, point out that the tyrant is bound to be defeated, and then point out that he is trapped in Wagang sooner or later just a caged bird of Chen Yingliang's thief, and persuade him to take advantage of Chen Yingliang's thief who has not yet sat firmly in the eastern capital to stay behind, and also to take advantage of the soldiers and horses of the eastern capital Luoyang who have not yet been carefully trained by Chen Yingliang's thief, strike first and take the root of the eastern capital, Luokoucang!" ”

"If he wants, we can also secretly help him." Li Yuan added gloomily: "In the Eastern Capital, there are still many officials who are close to the Longmen Lord, who can secretly provide him with some help such as military intelligence plans. ”

Liu Wenjing's face changed a little, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Guogong, the villain is favored by you, and it is natural for you to go to the soup for you, and it should not be shirked, but the villain is now a fugitive, without the identity of Wen Yan, through Guanwen, how can he pass the Tongguan and Tiger Prison passes?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately reached under the chess table in front of him, and he didn't know what mechanism he pressed, a dark drawer immediately popped out on the side of the thick wooden chess table, and Liu Wenjing, who was playing with Li Yuan with this chess table at the same end in three days, was dumbfounded, Li Yuan had already taken out a stack of identity documents from the dark drawer, took one at random and threw it in front of Liu Wenjing, and said: "Fill in a name you like and the date of birth yourself, and I will let the Chengji County Order give it to you at night, after arriving in the Eastern Capital, You can go and meet Shimin first, he has a lot of ideas, and he will definitely be able to help you. ”。” Li Yuan said viciously: "You introduce the general trend of the world to him, point out that the tyrant is bound to be defeated, and then point out that he is trapped in Wagang sooner or later just a caged bird of Chen Yingliang's thief, and persuade him to take advantage of Chen Yingliang's thief who has not yet sat firmly in the eastern capital to stay behind, and also to take advantage of the soldiers and horses of the eastern capital Luoyang who have not yet been carefully trained by Chen Yingliang's thief, strike first and take the root of the eastern capital, Luokoucang!" ”

"If he wants, we can also secretly help him." Li Yuan added gloomily: "In the Eastern Capital, there are still many officials who are close to the Longmen Lord, who can secretly provide him with some help such as military intelligence plans. ”

Liu Wenjing's face changed a little, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Guogong, the villain is favored by you, and it is natural for you to go to the soup for you, and it should not be shirked, but the villain is now a fugitive, without the identity of Wen Yan, through Guanwen, how can he pass the Tongguan and Tiger Prison passes?" ”
