As for the general, he quickly understood Lu Chu's extraneous voice.

I can't help but secretly admire the other party's daring to say and do.

If it were him, he wouldn't dare to knock on the side in front of Wang Shichong.

But having said that, he didn't give in at the first time, but still said stubbornly: "Even if they recruit soldiers quickly, so what? Does he dare to bring all his troops to Luoyang? ”

"Don't forget, there are Jiangdu and Jiangnan behind Emperor Yang of Sui, once these two places are empty, Li Shimin will definitely not let go of this good opportunity to settle in."

"Li Shimin?"

Lu Chu was about to respond to the general's words, when suddenly Wang Shichong interrupted him and said in a low voice: "Where is the messenger who sent a letter to Li Shimin before?" ”

"King Zheng, why don't you go and deliver a letter to Li Shimin again." Lu Chuhu looked at him suspiciously.

"That's right!"

Hearing this, Wang Shichong's face was ugly.

He had already decided to use Li Shimin's strength to contain Yang Guang, but unfortunately, he didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he called the messenger back.

Otherwise, it is estimated that Li Shimin's troops are already on the way to come.

At this moment, in Wang Shichong's view, the same mistake can no longer be made twice in a row.

Now whatever you say, you have to contact Li Shimin.

As for things that might allow Li Shimin to take advantage of them for nothing, he couldn't care about it, and in his eyes, punishing Emperor Yang of Sui was the most important thing to consider at present.

"King Zheng, with all due respect, if it was before Yang Guang made a move, the messenger you sent out would definitely bring him great pressure, and he might even be forced to not dare to act rashly, but now that the Sui army has just won a big victory, you send the messenger out at this time, it will only further stimulate Emperor Yang of Sui, so that he will dare to attack Luoyang directly in three days."

Lu Chu hesitated and suggested, "Therefore, in the eyes of the lower officials, the messenger ...... There is no need to send it out for the time being, and when the army of the Tang Dynasty comes, it will be twenty or thirty days later, and at that time, the dust of this battle has already settled, what can they do to help? ”

"Without Li Shimin's help, we can only rely on Luoyang to deal with Yang Guang alone, and the price paid is too great." Wang Shichong's eyes kept flickering.

On the one hand, he knew that Lu Chu was reasonable, and on the other hand, he didn't want to really fight to the death with Yang Guang.

He Lu Chu is not as solid as Li Shimin, and it is rare to be able to reach such a height today, so even if his current strength far exceeds Yang Guang, he still does not dare to hollow out everything to fight Yang Guang to the death.

Because he knows that he can't afford to lose, and once he loses, there is nothing.

This kind of thinking undoubtedly put Wang Shichong in an extremely embarrassing position, obviously only by sending troops could he drive Yang Guang, the scourge, away from Luoyang, but he did not dare to send troops for a long time.

After all, Yang Guang is menacing, and he is a little unsure of how strong the other party's strength is, in addition to the 80,000 elite soldiers on the surface, there are other hidden hole cards.

Moreover, he would not think that he was worrying about the sky, after all, if the other party did not have hole cards, then why did Yang Guang dare to drive the expedition in person and personally deliver a piece of fat to the enemy's mouth?

He didn't believe that it was because Yang Guang was not afraid of death.

Throughout the ages, how many emperors are not afraid of death? Yang Guang is no exception! But the frustrating thing is that even though he knows all this, he has nowhere to investigate, because they have never arranged secret agents in the Sui army.

"King Zheng, you don't have to worry first, didn't the secret letter sent by Yang Guang already say that he won't attack Luoyang until three days later?"

Lu Chu said cautiously: "These three days are an opportunity for us, just take the opportunity to touch the bottom of the Sui army and see if Yang Guang has any extra troops arranged in addition to these 80,000 people. ”

"Thoroughfare? How to find out? Wang Shichong was stunned, he also wanted to find out, but unfortunately there is no way now!

"King Zheng don't worry, I will personally go out of the city, take some people to the Sui army camp, and then grab a few tongues and come back." A military general volunteered: "As long as there is a tongue, you can find out how you want to get to the bottom." ”

Hearing this, Wang Shichong felt that this person's suggestion was somewhat feasible.

But Yuan Wendu over there sneered: "How can ordinary soldiers know so much news? Even if you catch it, it's useless, at least you have to be at the level of a deputy general, and you have a certain status in the army. ”

"Adjutant General......" The military general who spoke earlier suddenly smiled bitterly: "This is more difficult, you have to go deep into the barracks." ”

As soon as Wang Shichong heard this, he began to thunder again, and said with a dark face: "Useless things, such a trivial thing can't be done." ”

The military general suddenly felt red-faced, and forcibly thought of an idea: "Why don't we try to plot against Qin Shubao, Luo Cheng and others?" After all, they had been in Luoyang before, and they were King Zheng's subordinates like us, as long as they knew them with emotion and reason, maybe they could really make them abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”

"What else would you do but say this useless nonsense?" Wang Shichong's dangerous gaze was like a torch, staring at this military general suddenly.

made the latter shiver all over his body, and his eyes showed a hint of panic.

"Let's not say that we can't get access to these generals, but even if we do, do you think they'll talk to you about this? Since they chose to betray Luoyang in the first place, they were obviously mentally prepared not to associate with me Wang Shichong for the rest of their lives. You pig brain, you can't even figure out such a simple truth? ”

"Yes, yes, what King Zheng taught me is that the last general will not dare to talk nonsense in the future." The generals begged for mercy again and again.

Wang Shichong scolded the latter, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and then fell on Lu Chu with his expectant gaze.

Before the Sui army came to Luoyang, although he also valued Lu Chu very much, but this kind of weapon, in fact, was just average, after all, he was just a civil servant, and his status was definitely not as important as that of a military general.

But after Lu Chu spoke out many times and made suggestions on the matter of the Sui army, Wang Shichong couldn't help but be impressed by him, thinking that this was a rare talent for prime ministers, and his strategy could almost be compared with Xu Maogong.

Sure enough, this time, Lu Chu still did not disappoint Wang Shichong.

I saw him bow his head and mutter for a while, and then pretended to be low-key and said, "King Zheng, regarding this matter, the minister can indeed help." ”

"Oh? How can it help? Wang Shichong's eyes lit up, and the look of anticipation on his face became more and more intense

Lu Chu immediately replied humbly: "The minister got the news before, and among the generals brought by Yang Guang this time, there seems to be an old acquaintance of the minister......
