Since Wang Shichong proclaimed the Yue King Yang Dong as emperor, he has been granted the title of Nayan, General Youyiwei, Duke of Zheng, and concurrently served as the Acting Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Just hearing these titles is scary enough, and he is extremely noble, but...

This is also a common problem in the last years of every dynasty. Princes are as numerous as dogs and ministers are everywhere.

Not to mention Wang Shichong, even the King of Yue Yang Tong, although he is called the Son of Heaven, his current effective effective rule is only the city of Luoyang. Therefore, although Wang Shichong's titles are quite bluffing, they are actually worthless.

Of course, within the confines of Luoyang City, Wang Shichong could still call the shots, because in addition to these titles, he also held military power and commanded 10,000 troops stationed in Hanjiacang City.

Hanjiacang is a large granary in Luoyang City. Almost the whole city depends on it for food. Therefore, Wang Shichong has soldiers and food in his hands. Everyone has to look at his face, including Yang Tong, who is the emperor.

On this day, Wang Shichong returned to Hanjiacang City after going to court. He looked unhappy and very unhappy. When his son Wang Xuanshu saw this, his heart skipped a beat and he asked cautiously: "Why is father so unhappy? Is there anyone in this court who dares to do so?"

Messing with you?"

Wang Shichong sneered and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am your father, not the emperor. There are many people who dare to provoke you."

What Wang Shichong said was really treasonous. If Yang Guang was still alive, he would definitely not dare to say it. But now that Yang Guang is dead, the Sui Dynasty exists in name only, and no one takes the Sui royal family seriously anymore, including those who are currently sitting in the palace.

That little brat Yang Tong on the throne,

Although he is not a puppet, he is still almost a puppet. Therefore, Wang Shichong has transformed from a humble licking dog in front of Yang Guang's throne to an arrogant evil dragon. If there were not six other auxiliary ministers to check and balance him, he would have followed suit.

Li Yuan soared into the sky and turned into a dragon.

Wang Xuanshu was scolded by me, but he didn't dare to speak anymore. The eldest brother Wang Xuanying was also hunched over, and it was golden to remain silent, so as not to ask for trouble.

Wang Shichong was unhappy again and cursed: "Are you two brothers mute? You can't even fart?"

Wang Xuanying had no choice but to ask cautiously: "Could it be that your Majesty ordered father to make you unhappy?"

Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with coldness, and he snorted coldly: "Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, and Huangfu Wuyi are three hateful old men. They despise you and me, a bastard, from the bottom of their hearts. They instigated the emperor to alienate me. In order to check and balance me, they even went as far as

Luring the wolf into the house.”

Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuanshu looked at each other and asked in surprise: "Ling a wolf into the house?"

Wang Shichong said coldly: "Lu Chu and the others proposed to surrender Li Mi before, with the purpose of using Li Mi's hand to eliminate Yu Wenhuaji. At that time, I thought this was a clever plan. They could let Li Mi and Yu Wenhuaji kill each other, and then reap the benefits.

, so I agreed. Unexpectedly, the traitor Li Mi was also cunning. He took advantage of the situation and sent people back to report the victory to the emperor every time he won a battle. He even sent some of the captured trophies to the Eastern Capital to please the emperor and Lu Chu.

them.

So the emperor likes Li Mi more and more now. Lu Chu, Yuan Wendu, Huangfu Wuyi and others accepted Li Mi's benefits and helped Li Mi to say good things. Today at the court meeting, the traitor Yuan Wendu even proposed to wait for Li Mi to be eliminated.

After conquering Yu Wenhua, Li Mi was allowed to enter the Eastern Capital to assist in government."

Wang Xuanying's expression changed and he said: "Li Mi is very powerful. As a Taiwei and Shangshuling, his official position is higher than yours, father. If he is allowed to come to the city to assist in the government, wouldn't you, father, be overpowered by him?"

Wang Shichong sneered and said: "Xuan Ying, you are still too naive. If Li Mi goes to the city to assist the government, it will not be as simple as being a father. I am afraid that you, my father and my son will all be in danger, and eventually become Li Mi's sword."

Go to hell."

Brothers Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuannu couldn't help but turned pale. Yes, my father had led his troops to fight with Li Mi several times. Although he was defeated in the end, he also killed many of Li Mi's soldiers. Once Li Mi came to the city and took power, how could he still own his family?

way to survive?

"Then...the emperor agrees?" Wang Xuan asked tremblingly, with cold sweat breaking out on his palms.

Wang Shichong said calmly: "Although the emperor vetoed Yuan Wendu's proposal due to his father's strong opposition, it can be seen that the emperor is moved. Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others will definitely not give up. Once Li Mi

After eliminating Yu Wenhuaji, they will definitely take the opportunity to push forward and encourage the emperor to welcome Li Mi into the city."

Wang Xuanshu gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, instead of just sitting back and waiting for death, why not take action first? We can do what Li Yuan can do!"

Wang Shichong's face was gloomy and he was silent for a long time before saying: "We don't have Li Yuan's strength, so we have to think about this matter in the long run. However, if they force me to go to a dead end, I have to take the risk once. Go and gather all the soldiers below. Since we have to do it

If it’s a big thing, we need to mobilize everyone first.”

Wang Xuanying and his brothers Wang Xuanying left in awe, gathered their soldiers together, and waited for Wang Shichong's lecture.

…………

Starting from the beginning of March, Li Mi and Yu Wenhua launched a series of battles around Liyangcang in Weijun, Wuyangjun, and Dongjun. There were dozens of large and small fierce battles. Generally speaking, Li Mi

The Wagang army led by him won more and lost less, and had the upper hand. However, the losses of the Wagang army were not small. Even Li Mi's plotter Chai Xiaohe fell into the Yellow River and drowned because of his mistake.

On this day, Yu Wenhuaji once again personally led the main force of the Xiaoguo Army to approach Liyangcang, assuming an ambitious posture. Li Mi was not to be outdone, and led the main force of the Wagang Army to confront each other tit for tat. Almost all his generals gathered here, and

It was just like dealing with Zhang Xutuo.

Obviously, Li Mi doesn't want to delay it any longer. He wants to decide the outcome in one battle and complete his achievements in one battle!

At this time, the two armies were facing each other across the canal. Li Mi, protected by layers of shields by his own soldiers, walked to the river and shouted loudly to the other side of the river: "Yu Wenhuaji, Li Mi is here, do you dare to show up to see him?"

Yu Wenhuaji became more and more confident, and appeared on the other side of the canal under the protection of shields by his own soldiers. He said proudly: "Don't you dare, I, Yu Wenhuaji, am here. If Li Mi has any trouble, hurry up!"

Li Mi was born with a sharp angle, but now he was covered with clothes and his eyes were as bright as lightning. He was even more powerful. He scolded righteously: "Rebel Yu Wenji, your surname is Potounye, and you were originally a slave of the fierce slave.

That's all, you father, son and brothers are deeply favored by the emperor.

You have been rich and glorious for generations, but you don’t want to serve the country. Instead, you commit treasonous acts such as regicide. You even kill all the royal family’s nephews and insult the concubines. You are simply worse than a beast. It is unforgivable to be tolerated by heaven. Everyone will punish you. Today

I, Li Mi, will do justice for heaven!"

Yu Wenhuaji laughed loudly and said: "Li Mi, how can you tell so much nonsense? If you want to be chopped down or killed, just let your horse come over. Although I, Yu Wenhuaji, can't bear it, how can you, Li Mi, be so strong? Back then, you followed Yang Xuangan in the rebellion.

,

If you hadn't run so fast, I'm afraid your meat would have been eaten by everyone. Hehe, I've both eaten the meat of Yang Xuangan and Hu Sizheng, and turned it into shit. I, Yu Wenji, want to have a taste today.

Your Li Mi’s flesh.”

Li Mi's face darkened and he said sternly: "I will chop off your head and send it to the Eastern Capital."

"Come if you have the ability!" Yu Wenhuaji patted his head arrogantly, and then retreated back to the formation under the protection of his own soldiers.

The war drums beat, and a great battle began. The battle lasted from morning to noon, and then from noon to evening. After dark, torches were lit and the fierce battle continued. The killing was so complete that the sand and dust were billowing, the sun and the moon were dim, and corpses were everywhere.

, blood flowed into a river.

Yu Wenhuaji's food supply was no longer available, so he ordered people to rush to build siege equipment and tried to capture Liyangcang to seize grain. However, as soon as the siege equipment was completed, Li Mi's general Shan Xiongxin led his cavalry to break into the camp overnight and burned all the equipment.

The two sides fought fiercely back and forth for more than ten days. Yu Wenhuaji failed to capture Liyangcang and suffered heavy casualties. He had to retreat north to Wei County and tried to capture Wei County as a temporary stronghold. However, Yuan Baobao, the prefect of Wei County, was quite capable.

With the city as secure as Mount Tai, Yu Wenhuaji had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to retreat northward and entered Wu'an County. They finally captured Handan City as a foothold and breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

Xu Shiji, who had been stationed in Zhao County, couldn't help but cheer up after receiving the news that Yu Wenhuaji had captured Handan. Hey, after waiting for so long, the opportunity finally came. He immediately made a big fanfare and launched a crusade against the regicide rebel Yu Wenhuaji.

Under the guise of leading the army southward.

Dou Jiande had already sent people to keep an eye on Xu Shiji and Lu Sheng, so as soon as Xu Shiji made a move, Dou Jiande got wind of the situation. Fearing that Xu Shiji would seize the opportunity, he ordered General Wang Fubao to lead his army to stop Xu Shiji from going south.

Let's say that Xu Shiji led 10,000 Qi troops southward from Zhaojun. As soon as they entered Xiangguojun, they encountered Wang Fubao blocking the way. He couldn't help but became "furious" and stepped forward alone to ask, "What does General Wang mean? Could it be that?"

Want to break your promise?"

Wang Fubao pretended to be confused and said: "What does General Xu mean by this? Xiangguo County is the territory of King Changle. You have crossed the boundary. Please go back."

Xu Shiji said solemnly: "King Qi and King Changle had already spoken to each other. King Changle not only agreed to the Qi army's use of the road to go south, but also expressed his willingness to provide necessary help. Now that General Wang is blocking our army from going south, isn't it a breach of trust?"

Wang Fubao frowned and said: "King Changle did agree with the Qi army to use the road to go south to attack Li Mi, but Military Advisor Xu went south this time to attack the regicide rebel Yu Huaji. The two should not be confused."

Xu Shiji said coldly: "Wang Fubao, are you deliberately trying to embarrass Xu Shiji with me, right?"

Wang Fubao cupped his hands and said: "This is not the reason why I am in trouble with General Xu. It is actually my duty. I hope General Xu will forgive me. I will send someone back now to ask King Changle for instructions. If King Changle agrees, I will let you go immediately!"

Xu Shiji's expression changed, and he turned around angrily with a final flick of his sleeves, and said harshly: "Wang Fubao, just wait for me. I, Xu Shiji, have written this down."
