Chapter 423: Loyalty and Betrayal
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great joy! Exultation. Yang Tong walked out of the harem and came to the imperial study, and saw Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others coming together, and his face showed joy.
"If the state is like this, what is the joy?" Yang Tong was in a bad mood and couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, Yu Wenhua and Li Mi have a fight." Yuan Wendu said with a smile: "Before our people arrived in Dongjun, Yu Wenhua began to attack Li Mi. Now he is fighting with Li Mi's general Xu Shiji? ”
"Oh, why is that?" Yang Tong's face was also happy when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, although the geographical location of Dongjun is very good, but the body is very small, almost no danger to defend, Yu Wenhua and next to us and Li Mi, he must choose one person to attack, seize the other party's territory, although our strength is a little smaller, but after all, there is a tiger prison to guard the fortress, Yu Wenhua wants to attack us, but it is very difficult, so he can only attack Li Mi and seize the granary of Liyang, so as to maintain the loss of the army." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with curly hair on his head, his eyes were deep, and there was a faint hint of turquoise, Yang Tong looked at the other party, his face showed a slight hint of disgust, he was Wang Shichong, the actual controller of the entire Luoyang City, even Yuan Wendu and others had to obey his dispatch.
"So what do we do now?" Yang Tong sighed, Dongdu looks very strong, but the army is in the hands of Wang Shichong, for half a year, Wang Shichong's cronies have occupied most of the positions in the army, and Yang Tong does not have any strength to resist at all.
"Yu Wenhua and our common enemy, we must kill Yu Wenhua and defeat his army immediately, and ask the emperor to order the ministers to go east, and unite with Li Mi to defeat Yu Wenhua." Wang Shichong said loudly.
"Okay." Yang Tong nodded, and said fiercely: "You and Li Mi, who can kill Yu Wenhua." When I took his head, I canonized him as a lieutenant and was in charge of the government. ”
Wang Shichong's face changed after hearing this, although he was Zheng Guogong, he secretly controlled the army, but he was not a captain. and Duan Da, Yuan Wendu and other six people jointly assisted the government, and was called "Seven Gui" at the time. Now Yang Tong understands that this is to recruit Li Mi and let Li Mi fight with him, and Yang Tong can benefit from the fisherman. Wang Shichong only sneered, whether it was himself or Li Mi. They are all a generation of heroes, how can a child control two heroes.
"The minister will arrange to attack Yu Wenhua with Li Mi, and the minister will definitely take off Yu Wenhua's head to comfort the emperor's spirit in the sky." Wang Shichong said loudly after hearing this. He flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and left, without even saying hello to Yang Tong and them, he was already arrogant to the extreme.
"Damn." Yuan Wendu's face was gloomy, looking at Wang Shichong's departing back revealing a hint of murderous intent, but Lu Chu looked at Yang Tong. There was a faint hint of disappointment, any courtier hoped that the emperor would be a wise lord, at least he could not be like Yang Tong, who could not protect himself. I just can't cheer up.
Lu Chu suddenly thought of the person he had seen not long ago, and with a hint of hope on his face, he immediately arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry." With the existence of ministers and others, it will definitely revitalize the Great Sui. ”
"That's right. There is Lao Aiqing. Yang Tong nodded. Let the crowd retreat.
"Yuan Gong, the world is in chaos, what should I do in Luoyang?" The people went out of the main hall. Lu Chu grabbed Yuan Wendu and said in a low voice.
"It's just a matter of doing your best to obey the destiny of heaven." Yuan Wen didn't know what Lu Chu meant, but he still didn't think about it and said: "As long as we work hard, there will be a day to revitalize the Great Sui." ”
"It's easier said than done!" Lu Chu shook his head and said: "Although there are more than 100,000 horses in the eastern capital, they are all in the hands of Wang Shichong, and it is almost impossible for us to recapture the army, Yuan Gong, according to our own strength, I am afraid it is not enough!" ”
"You want to take on foreign help?" Yuan Wendu's face changed when he heard this, and he said nervously: "Lord Lu, who can be a foreign aid?" Li Mi? Or maybe it's Li Xin? It's not what the lower officials say, these two people are wolf ambitions, if we let these two people come, not only will we not be able to get foreign aid, but even our own lives will fall into the hands of the other party, inappropriate, inappropriate. Although Li Mi is from the Guan Long family, he is a thief and ambitious, and as for Li Xin, it is even more impossible. ”
"How is Li Yuan?" Lu Chu said mysteriously: "Then Li Yuan is from the Gaomen family, and even a member of your Guanlong family, and he has something to do with your Yuan family. What if he decided to send troops to rescue Luoyang? ”
After hearing this, Yuan Wendu's face was stunned, and he looked at Lu Chu seriously, the two of them are not fools, what Lu Chu said about rescuing Luoyang is just a pretense, in the final analysis, Lu Chu just wants to give Luoyang to Li Yuan. Yuan Wendu looked at Lu Chu with some surprise and said, "Lord Lu, you are a member of the Kanto family, why would you accept Li Yuan." Some time ago, Li Yuan wanted his son Li Shimin to marry a woman from the Cui family, but he was rejected by the ancestor of the Cui family, and now Lord Lu wants to take refuge in Li Yuan, is this the meaning of your Lu family, or the meaning of the entire Kanto family? Yuan Wendu didn't care, no matter how he said it, he was also a member of the Guan Long family, and he was in the same camp as Li Yuan.
"The world is competing for power, how can you care about this, aren't the people of the Guan Long family now also under Li Xin's command?" Lu Chu said very plainly: "I think that Li Yuan has a bit of the atmosphere of the master, sitting in the state and looking at the Central Plains, if he can get Luoyang, he may not be able to win the world!" If it is by that time, you and I will be much better than now, at least, there is no need to look at a Hu person who is presumptuous in front of him. ”
Yuan Wendu took a deep look, Lu Chu was definitely not as noble as he imagined, and he could speak to Li Yuan, I am afraid that it was because he got more things from Li Yuan, and it had reached the point where Yang Tong could not give him it. Is it just that you really want to take refuge in Li Yuan? Yuan Wendu at least has no such plan now, and he may not have to worry about his life if he follows Li Yuan, but Li Yuan will definitely not pay attention to himself, his Great Zhao State, Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing and even Dugu Huaien, etc. are all his confidants, what are people like him doing? Will Li Yuan trust himself? It's definitely impossible.
"Zheng Shanguo has decided to marry his granddaughter to Li Shimin." Lu Chu suddenly said something and said, "It was Pei Lin and Li Shentong who came to talk about it in person. ”
Lu Chu's words shocked Yuan Wendu all of a sudden, he never thought that there was actually the Zheng family behind this matter, Zheng Shanguo married his granddaughter to Li Shimin, which is equivalent to marrying the Li family, Zheng Shanguo must have agreed to take Li Yuan to Luoyang.
"Lord Lu, after hearing that Li Xinai is the king of Lanling, I don't know about it?" Yuan Wendu suddenly thought of a rumor and couldn't help but ask.
"Not bad." Lu Chu's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Li Xin's mother is Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, but Li Xin is Li Xin, and the king of Lanling is the king of Lanling, and he is completely different from the king of Lanling. Hmph, a concubine from a side door, relying on a little ability, actually wants to create a generation of empires and be a generation of commanders, which is really ridiculous in the world. I don't want to think about it, how powerful the power of the family is, the lord of the world can only be produced in the Guanlong family or the Kanto family, Li Xin is really delusional. ”
Yuan Wendu was silent for a while, and said: "This matter is very important, I must seriously think about it, you and I must be deeply ordered by the emperor to assist the emperor, at this time betraying the emperor, I feel a little guilty in my heart!" ”
"You can't say that, whether it's Li Xin, Wang Shichong, or even Li Mi, if they become emperors, will the emperor still have his life? At that time, aren't you and I ashamed of the first emperor? Lu Chu showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said at the moment: "Emperor Zhao is different, Li Yuan is benevolent and kind to people, once he enters Luoyang, he will definitely save the life of the emperor, so that you and I can also explain the past." ”
"Hey." After hearing this, Yuan Wen still shook his head, so that he suddenly heard the news, and he still hesitated a little in his heart. At least in my heart, I still don't want to go.
"Hey, that's pedantic." Lu Chu looked at Yuan Wendu's back and shook his head again and again, he and Yuan Wendu were certainly deeply favored by Yang Guang, but Lu Chu and Yuan Wen were different, he had already seen that now the Great Sui Dynasty had lost the possibility of resetting the world, whether it was Yang Yu or Yang Tong, he was too young, how could he serve the public, how could he lead the army to seize the world. In the end, it was only Li Yuan and Li Xin who would take over the world, and perhaps Li Mi would be added, and because of this, it was just in line with "peach and plum, the queen went around Yangzhou and turned around the garden." Don't talk about it, who will say it?" The prophecy of the Li family as the lord of the Son of Heaven and betraying Yang Tong is nothing in his opinion, which is also in accordance with the mandate of heaven.
"But this matter must be grasped, Yu Wenhua and although powerful, but under the joint attack of Wang Shichong and Li Mi, it is definitely not the opponent of these two, Li Xin's army is fighting for Bashu, and he has already gone out to patrol Liangzhou, in a short time, he will not return to Chang'an, if Li Yuan goes south to seize Luoyang at this time, when Li Xin reacts, Luoyang has fallen into the hands of Li Yuan, Li Xin wants to attack Luoyang, in fact, he will face the joint attack of the Kanto family and the Guanzhong family, internal and external difficulties, There must be no intention to attack Luoyang, even if the land of Bashu has been seized at that time, and the momentum of Qin has become strong, Li Yuan only needs to send troops out of Hongnong, attack Tongguan, and then most of the troops will pass through Shandong, and when Shandong is completely occupied, the general trend of the world will be enough, and a small Li Xin will not be able to turn over the palm of his hand. Hehe, at that time, I will dedicate Luoyang, which is the first credit, hum, whether you do it or not, you can't stop my determination. Lu Chu instantly turned countless thoughts in his heart.
