After Yang Guang's death, Yu Wenhua did not dare to directly claim the emperor, but was promoted as prime minister by Sima Dejiao and others.

Yu Wenhua and Feng Sima Dejiao are the Duke of Wen Guo, plus Guanglu Doctor, and still command the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

However, he was always very afraid of the Xiaoguo army, and a few days later, he transferred Sima Dejiao to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and seized his military power.

When Li Zitong forced Jiangdu, Sima Dejiao was full of resentment and rushed north with Yu Wenhua's army.

The 150,000 troops brought by Yang Guang died and fled in the Jiangdu Rebellion, and in the end there were only more than 100,000 people left.

Yu Wenhua and the 100,000 remnants of the army, including 20,000 Xiaoguo, went all the way north, and when they arrived at Pengcheng, because the waterway was blocked, they had no choice but to abandon the boat and land, and a large number of property and palace maids were snatched from the palace of Yang Guang, so they ordered to forcibly seize 2,000 ox carts of the people to carry the treasure palace maids.

The soldiers were short of food and had to carry heavy weapons and equipment, and their resentment gradually arose, and the morale of the army was weakened.

Sima Dejiao remembered Long Tao's reminder, and also understood that Yu Wenhua and the non-servable master, it happened that many generals had this intention, so they plotted to kill Yu Wenhua together.

On this night, Zhao Xingshu, Li Xiaoben, Yin Zhengqing and other generals gathered in Sima Deji's tent to discuss secretly.

"We will soon enter Li Mi's territory, and a battle with the Wagang Army is inevitable, Lord Sima, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

Sima Dejiao said: "I had this intention on the day I left Jiangdu, so I came to curry favor with Yuwen Zhiji for several days, and finally relied on him to say that he moved Yu Culture and let me lead 10,000 rear troops, and we used this 10,000 rear army to attack and kill Yu Wenhua, but this matter must be planned Zhou Xiang and raided with surprise soldiers, otherwise it will only be an egg hitting a stone and killing himself." ”

All the generals were excited, and suddenly heard someone outside the tent say: "General Sima is too optimistic, how do you know that Yuwen Zhihe is not using this 10,000-strong rear army to test you?" ”

Several people changed color together, they could become the generals of a single army, and their martial arts were among the masters, until this person came to speak outside the tent, they were still unconscious, and they knew that this person must be extraordinary.

The tent door opened, and Long Tao walked in calmly.

The generals drew their swords and surrounded him in the middle.

Sima Dejiao shouted in a low voice: "Don't act rashly!" This person is the black knife Yankuan, with his martial arts, it is easy to kill us! ”

The generals put away their weapons hesitantly, but they still maintained an encirclement of Long Tao, they saw that Long Tao was so young, and they had never seen him make a move, so they were always a little skeptical of Sima Dejiao's words.

"General Sima, we'll meet again."

Sima Dejiao clenched his fists and saluted, his face was very respectful, and then asked, "What do you mean by what Your Excellency said?" ”

Long Tao smiled and said: "Yan Mou went to Yu Wenhua's handsome tent just now and heard some interesting things. ”

Zhao Xingshu, the big man with the hair, said coldly: "Yu Wenhua and his ice strength have reached the peak, and he has become a master second only to Yuwen in the Yuwen valve, how can Your Excellency avoid his ears and eyes and overhear him speak?" ”

Sima Dejiao shouted: "The cardinal must not be rude! This Yan Shaoxia once captured me alive within two moves in the army, although Yu culture and martial arts are stronger than me, I believe that Yan Shaoxia will not be looked at by him. ”

Zhao Xingshu and the others changed color together, and Long Tao said with a smile: "General Sima has an overreputation, and he is called a young man, so he is ashamed." ”

Sima Deji's expression became more and more respectful, "Dare to ask Brother Yan, what news did you hear from Yu Wenhua and there?" ”

"Yu Wenhua already knows your plans, tomorrow he will send Yu Wenshi and feigns to do a safari to the rear army to capture and kill you."

Sima Dejiao was taken aback, and the faces of the others also became cloudy.

Li Xiaoben said: "Why don't we launch it tonight!" ”

Sima Dejiao frowned and said: "We are not ready yet, and Yu Wenhua has already prepared for us, and rashly launching it is no different from sending us to death." He turned his head to look at Long Tao again and asked, "What does Brother Yan propose?" ”

Long Tao stared at him with sparkling eyes and asked, "I need to clarify General Sima's thoughts first, why do you want to kill Yu Wenhua?" Do you want to replace it, or do you want to ......"

Sima Dejiao shook his head and sighed: "It's not a secret, I don't have much ambition to be the king and emperor, I want to kill Yu Wenhua, more out of self-preservation, there is only one way to die with him, I just want to return to Guanzhong's hometown as soon as possible with my subordinates." ”

Long Tao said lightly: "Then General Sima may be disappointed, not to mention that it will be difficult for the Wagang Army to pass this level in front of you, even if you can pass Li Mi, you may not know yet, right?" Li valve has occupied Guanzhong, Li Yuan invaded Chang'an and supported the acting king Yang Yu as the emperor, playing the banner of the Sui room, you and Yu Wenhua and killed Yang Guang, is the Sui family's rebellious ministers and thieves, how can Li Yuan allow you to return to Guanzhong alive? ”

Sima Dejiao and the generals glanced at each other, their faces suddenly darkened, how could they expect the situation to change so drastically, and everyone suddenly had a blank feeling in their hearts that they didn't know where to go.

Long Tao continued: "If you want to go back to Guanzhong, there is only one way left, and that is to kill them in a dignified manner!" ”

"Still." Long Tao's words changed suddenly, "I don't know if you have thought about it, even if you are allowed to merge with Yu Culture, how should you go next?" As far as you know, you are short of food and grass, and it is not yet known how many days you can sustain you, and then you have no way to go and no supplies to follow, do you want to go and plunder the rebels? ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank a little more, Sima Dejiao looked at Long Tao, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Yan once said that he has the heart to dominate the world, and it is naturally not a coincidence that he came here tonight, and these words are by no means untargeted." Sima Dejiao has long admired Your Excellency's martial arts knowledge, and he has a great plan, so he might as well talk about it. ”

Long Tao said in his heart, he glanced at everyone with his eyes shining, and finally his gaze fell back on Sima Dejiao, "If General Sima can trust Yan Mou, he is willing to follow me to the world, and Yan Mou can guarantee that you can not only return to your hometown in the future, but also enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of your life!" ”

Sima Dejiao looked at him for a while, his face changed for a while, and he said resolutely: "I can trust Brother Yan, and I am willing to gamble with you!" ”

Long Tao looked at the others again, "What do you say?" ”

Li Xiaoben, Yin Zhengqing and others: "We have always been the only one who looks to Lord Sima, and naturally ......"

"Wait!" Zhao Xingshu suddenly interrupted everyone, stared at Long Tao and asked, "Can Master Yan tell Zai Xia first, how to solve the current problem?" ”

"General Zhao is really calm." Long Tao smiled slightly, "The words have come to this point, and I won't hide it from you, I came here for the sake of your 20,000 Xiaoguo army, such an elite army, it is a pity that it was destroyed in the hands of Yu Wenhua and others!" I have brought plenty of food and grass with me this time, which is enough to solve your urgent needs. ”

Li Xiaoben was overjoyed and said: "In this case, why don't we fight to the death with Yu Wenhua, although there are many of them, but our Xiaoguo Army has never been afraid of anyone!" ”

Long Tao shook his head and smiled: "That will only make Li Mi cheaper." ”

Zhao Xingshu said: "Seeing that Yan Ye looks confident, he must have a plan in his heart, please continue to solve his doubts for Xingshu." ”

Long Tao said: "General Zhao is thoughtful, and he must be a general." To tell the truth, in addition to bringing grain and grass, Yan also accompanied more than a dozen big ships, which can allow our army to quickly cross the Tongji Canal, and then go south to gain a foothold, and then gradually expand outward, Yan is confident that one day he will take you back to Guanzhong! ”

Zhao Xingshu was unmoved, and continued to ask expressionlessly: "How did Master Yan gain a foothold in the south?" ”

Long Tao said lightly: "The Giant Kun Gang, the Bamboo Flower Gang, and the Dajiang Society are all under my control, plus your 20,000 Xiaoguo, wouldn't it be easy to take down a city?" ”

"It turns out that Yan Ye has already arranged it!" Zhao Xingshu was finally moved, and then his face became extremely serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Master Yan, please solve Zhao's last doubt, Li Yuan has already occupied Chang'an, and he has already taken advantage of the geographical advantages, and it is rumored that his son is a man who can fight habitually, and Chang'an is a famous fortified city in the world, how can Master Yan be confident that he will be able to take us into Chang'an in the future?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the generals, including Sima Dejiao, all looked at Long Tao with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.

The atmosphere in the tent became solemn.
