"Therefore, when Yang Guang sent troops straight to Luoyang, the Tang King had already taken action."

The man in black continued: "There is less than a day away from Luoyang City, and we will arrive in the evening of tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Wang Shichong's face softened slightly.

He had long heard that Li Shimin had great powers, and it was naturally not surprising that he could predict this matter in advance.

However, Li Shimin took the initiative to send troops, and he had to be guarded against, after all, this was a person with a darker and dirtier mind than him, and he had to be cautious at all times when dealing with the latter.

"Datang is willing to help us Luoyang deal with Yang Guang, and I, Wang Shichong, naturally can't ask for it, but I just don't know what benefits King Tang wants to get?"

The man in black had the same expression as usual, and said with a smile: "King Tang said, I don't want anything, as long as King Zheng can reimburse some travel expenses, as well as grain and grass." ”

"Oh? Is it just that simple? Wang Shichong was surprised.

The man in black nodded and said, "Of course, if King Tang asks for Luoyang City, will you give it to King Zheng?" ”

"Presumptuous, what identity do you dare to be so rude to our King Zheng?" Some officials stood up and shouted.

"Alright, sit down."

Wang Shi pressed his hand, and then looked at the man in black: "The road expenses and grain and grass are all small problems, how much do you want from this king, but now that the Sui army is in full swing, are you sure that you can drive it away with these 70,000 people?" ”

"Of course."

The man in black said confidently: "The combat effectiveness of our Tang Army, even if it is the Sui Army, cannot be compared to us. ”

"Besides, we don't necessarily want to annihilate the whole army in this battle, as long as we can let Yang Guangchu taste defeat, it is enough."

You must know that the current main battlefield is, after all, in Luoyang.

Luoyang is Wang Shichong's territory, no matter what happens here, the last one who gets the benefits will definitely be Wang Shichong.

There is no doubt about that.

Therefore, Li Shimin naturally couldn't really help Wang Shichong solve the Sui army, and at most he would drive the latter away and stop his ambition to annex Luoyang City.

Although Datang has not yet had time to start a war against the Great Sui, he can't watch the Great Sui get stronger and stronger, after all, everyone knows that between the Great Sui and the Great Tang, sooner or later there will be a desperate battle.

After all, there can only be one overlord in the Central Plains!

"Okay, then the king will wait for the Tang army to come, and when the time comes, the Great Sui will be handed over to you." Wang Shichong squinted his eyes, and the burden on his shoulders was lightened a lot at this time.

Then, he arranged for someone to take the man in black down to rest.

After confirming that the other party had left, Lu Chuyuan, Wendu and others successively admonished Wang Shichong to discuss the pros and cons of this matter.

Their cooperation with Li Shimin is equivalent to seeking skin with the tiger, and they cannot fully trust the latter, so they must be on high alert, lest the other party resort to some indiscriminate means after entering Luoyang City.

But hearing this, Wang Shichong smiled mysteriously and said, "Tang Jun, are you qualified to enter our Luoyang City?" ”

"Luoyang City, everyone can come, but only the people of the Great Sui and the Tang Dynasty don't want to step into it for half a step."

"Oh? What does King Zheng mean? And they all looked at him.

Wang Shichong said slowly: "After the Tang army arrives, Luoyang City will temporarily close the city gate, not allowed to enter or exit, let them bite each other, let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

"Even if the Tang army is defeated, we only need to go out of the city to clean up the mess in the end, so as not to break our muscles and bones."

"As for grain and grass, travel expenses or something, how much is it worth? It should be that the king gave him Li Shimin. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chu's expression was strange, and he couldn't help but say, "King Zheng, if you do this, will Li Shimin agree?" ”

"Why didn't he say yes?"

Wang Shichong snorted lightly: "This is his own initiative to send troops, this king didn't ask him to send troops, even if he feels that he has suffered a loss, he can only accept it silently!" ”

Lu Chu thought about it, but felt that this was reasonable.

If they invited Li Shimin, then they would undoubtedly be in a passive state, and everything would be sent by the Tang Dynasty. But the problem now is that the Tang army is uninvited, so the cooperation between the two will be dominated by Luoyang.

One passive, the other active, seems to be a word difference, but in fact, the effect is very different.

"King Zheng is very scheming, and Li Shimin is like a fool compared to you." The other courtiers complimented in unison.

"Don't say anything about this kind of obvious sycophancy, this king doesn't want to hear it." Wang Shichong sat down again, but although he said so, in fact, it can be seen from his expression that he is actually very useful for these words.

On the other side, in the camp of the Sui army.

The great victory just now successfully restored the momentum of the soldiers.

They swept away their previous depression, and the entire barracks was filled with a vibrant scene.

The soldiers excitedly discussed the battle situation, and even more, they did not forget to show off some trophies triumphantly.

In the camp, Yang Guang and Sima Dejiao gathered together.

After discussing a series of deployments and arrangements, Yang Guang added.

"This time, although we have won another big victory, but looking at the overall situation, it is still very early for the war to completely end, so you Aiqing must not take it lightly, and even be more focused and cautious than before."

"Only in this way can we ensure that we can always be invincible and become a victorious general in the eyes of others......"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this is not the first time we have fought a war, and we are very clear in our hearts." Sima Dejiao responded with a smile.

"Hmm."

Yang Guang actually casually instructed that he never lacked trust in these old oilmen on the battlefield.

"Report!"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." Yang Guang shouted casually.

Immediately after, a sentry walked in from outside the door.

He first knelt down and saluted to the people in the camp, and then said: "Your Majesty, just now our sentry discovered that an army has appeared sixty miles away from us, and judging from their attire, it should be the Tang Army. ”

"Tang Jun?" The atmosphere in the tent froze.

Yang Guang didn't say anything, and asked carefully, "How many people are there?" ”

"About 70,000, and only a lot more......"

"Seventy thousand." Yang Guang fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, didn't Wang Shichong send a messenger to Chang'an, why did the Tang army come suddenly? And this speed is too fast......"

Cheng Biting Jin secretly smacked his tongue: "Could it be that each of them has grown a Scud?" ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, there are no scuds in the world." Yang Guang couldn't help but frown.
