Chapter 423: Shame, shame
At the same time, in the city of Luoyang.
Wang Shichong, Lu Chu, Yuan Wendu and others led a group of courtiers were drinking with Wang Shichong.
Today, Wang Shichong is obviously in a very good mood.
But it's no wonder, after all, he has already given Jiang Wei an order, if nothing else, he should be able to see the latter escort Yang Guang to Luoyang City tonight.
Thinking that the Great Sui was destroyed in his own hands, Wang Shichong felt secretly refreshed, and with a tilt of his head, he drank all the wine in the cup.
Next, Yuan Wendu smiled and said: "King Zheng, after Yang Guang is brought back, it is best to keep his life for the time being." Next, we have to rely on him to take over the entire Great Sui. ”
"Of course."
Wang Shichong laughed wildly: "I heard that the Great Sui has developed rapidly recently, the treasury is rich, and there are tens of millions of taels of silver in light lines, as for other miscellaneous items, there are even more, and after these things are taken, my Luoyang will definitely go to the next level." ”
"King Zheng's vision should not be limited to Luoyang."
Lu Chu said with a smile: "When we recover the Great Sui and the two forces merge, in terms of strength, they are no less than Li Shimin." He Li Shimin can build a country, why can't we build a country? ”
"Moreover, the minister even thinks of the country name for King Zheng?"
"Oh? What is it? ”
"Swallow!"
"Yan Guo...... Well, this proposal is good and worth considering. Wang Shichong seemed extremely satisfied, a hero like him could be described as thinking about the founding of the country.
However, he did not have that condition before, so he had to delay indefinitely.
But now it's different, with Yang Guang dying by himself and taking the initiative to send it to the door, he now has the conditions for the founding of the country.
Thinking that he was about to become emperor, Wang Shichong's excitement in his heart can be imagined.
As for the surrounding courtiers, they also respected the name of "Yan Kingdom", and praised Lu Chu for his outstanding knowledge, which can be called a unique in the world.
However, just as the atmosphere on the field was gradually pushed to a climax, everyone smelled a pungent smell of blood, and when they looked back, it turned out that there were several blood-stained lieutenants who had come to the main hall.
Seeing them like this, everyone present was shocked and stunned.
"What's going on? Who made you like this? Lu Chu stood up suddenly, looked at them and asked in shock.
An adjutant general knelt on the ground with a puff and cried bitterly at Wang Shichong: "King Zheng, we have all fallen for the tricks of that dog thief Yang Guang, he clearly has no intention of surrendering, and everything he did was to lead us to the Sui army camp unsuspectingly. ”
"As soon as we entered the barracks, he immediately showed his fangs and asked Luo Cheng to kill General Jiang Wei. Then we were brutally hunted down. ”
"How many people have been lost?" Wang Shichong's heart trembled, and the hand holding the wine glass also trembled unconsciously.
"In total, more than 40,000 people ......" the adjutant general cried with a sad face: "As for those who survived, most of them were seriously injured and urgently needed to recuperate." ”
"Bastard, bastard!"
As soon as he heard this, Wang Shichong couldn't hold back any longer, got up and slammed the wine glass on the ground, accompanied by the sound of porcelain breaking, Wang Shichong's roar also resounded throughout the hall.
"Yang Guang, this king and you are incompatible, either you die or I die!"
"How so? Yang Guang doesn't even want to be cheeky? Didn't he care about his letter of surrender? Lu Chu was also stunned, his brain was blank, and he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation at all.
The other courtiers couldn't accept it.
They fought with the Sui army three times, the first time they lost more than 20,000 people, the second time more than 10,000 people, and the third time was even more outrageous, they directly lost more than 40,000 people, which added up to almost 100,000 people.
How much money can you have here in Luoyang?
At present, the number of soldiers lost is close to half of the total.
And more importantly, the more than 80,000 Sui troops brought by Yang Guang have not suffered much loss until now!
Compared with the two, in terms of troops, they no longer have much advantage in Luoyang!
But don't forget, it's their home stadium now.
In their home field, there is no advantage, which means that they are already at a disadvantage, after all, the Sui army can retreat at any time, but their family base is fighting less and less, and if they continue to entangle, the losses will be greater and greater, until Luoyang City collapses completely.
"More than 80,000 soldiers have forced our Luoyang to such an extent, shame, shame!"
Wang Shichong already looked a little crazy, and said with a wild laugh: "What else is this fighting? Simply open the city gates, let the Sui army come to the city, and attack our Luoyang, this city, this king doesn't want it! ”
"King Zheng, no!" The ministers all changed their faces, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Now it's just a defeat, we haven't lost yet, it's that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui is too cunning and treacherous, but it doesn't matter, the so-called strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, he can't do anything to us." ”
"At the beginning, this king said that he would contact Li Shimin earlier, but you wastes tried your best to stop it, now it's okay, things are like this, you tell me how to deal with it?" Wang Shichong's scarlet eyes stared at the ministers.
The ministers almost vomited blood when they heard this.
The matter of giving up contacting Li Shimin was obviously raised by Wang Shichong himself, and they never expressed their opinions from beginning to end. But now, this King Zheng has actually pushed all the black cauldrons on them.
However, the officials crushed people to death at the first level, even if they knew that Wang Shichong was throwing the pot, they could not defend themselves.
Yuan Wendu got up and said: "King Zheng, we can't delay, we should contact Li Shimin as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes later, and Yang Guangke will be given another opportunity." ”
Wang Shichong was just about to respond, when suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.
"You don't have to take the initiative to contact Datang, because the Tang army is already on the way here."
As the voice fell, a man in black appeared in the main hall.
He looked extremely casual, ignoring the gazes that converged on him around him, and a pair of eyes looked directly at Wang Shichong.
Wang Shichong was quite angry: "Who is coming, why do you dare to trespass on my Luoyang Palace?" ”
"I'm from Datang." The man in black took off his mask, revealing a handsome and cold face: "King Tang has sent 70,000 troops to support, and as for me, I am the one who came first, and I am here to deliver this news to you, King Zheng." ”
"Nonsense, how can Li Shimin know the situation in Luoyang?" Wang Shichong shouted angrily.
The man in black said unhurriedly: "We really don't know the situation in Luoyang, but we know the movements of the Great Sui very well......
He smiled faintly, very confident.
