Chapter 535 I believe that Li Mi will be willing to submit to His Majesty
Chapter 535
Yang Qian nodded, and after thinking about it for a moment, he was convinced.
"That's right. How about I leave it to you, my father-in-law, to answer this matter?"
Yang Qian's eyes fell on his father-in-law, Li Yuan, who had been hanging around with him during this period.
"No, I will definitely live up to the commander's high expectations." Li Yuan quickly stood up and left with a smile.
Naturally, it was a group of people from Dongdu who received the news earlier than Yang Qian.
Previously, Xiyuan was destroyed and the Eastern Capital Army was defeated, causing the entire Eastern Capital to be in chaos.
With a dead horse being treated as a living horse, a messenger for help was sent to Luokou Cangcheng.
Unexpectedly, Yang Qian actually came, and he came with a large army. The Jiangdu Army cavalry defeated Li Mi's headquarters in Xiyuan.
The Jiangdu Army infantry gave the Wagangzhai army a bitter taste when they returned to Luocang City.
Even the news that several leaders of Wagang Village fled far away with their troops and became defectors also fell into the ears of a group of nobles and dignitaries in the Eastern Capital.
Such good news did not allow the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government to celebrate that they were out of danger.
On the contrary, Duan Da, Yuan Wendu and other dignitaries who supported the new emperor had dark faces that were frightening.
"Our troops in Dongdu are not as good as those in Wagang Village, and the 300,000 soldiers in Wagang Village are vulnerable to a single blow in the eyes of Yang Qian's Jiangdu Army..."
"It seems that Dongdu is in danger..."
"Hmph... Yuan Mou said before, please don't neglect Yang Liushou.
Now, Yang Liushou has repelled Liu Changgong, but he has sent troops to help, don't you understand?"
Liu Changgong, who had already returned to Dongdu, retorted angrily.
"What do you understand? Do you understand that Yang Qian clearly has elite troops who can pacify the bandits in Wagang Village, but he just sits back and watches our situation in the Eastern Capital become so dangerous?"
"He clearly has ulterior motives. He is just waiting to see how powerful the bandit army is, and he wants to profit from it."
Duan Da saw that Yuan Wen was furious and quickly cleared his throat to persuade him.
"Brother Wendu, don't get too angry. The matter has reached this point. It's useless to talk more. It's better to think about how to overcome the current difficulties."
"Is it possible that Duan Nayan already has a solution?" Yuan Wendu snorted. Although he was not ashamed of Duan Da's behavior and stupidity, the problem is that now the officials in the Eastern Capital are led by his will.
Even the new emperor was more willing to listen to this idiot, but instead alienated himself, a sincere gentleman who liked to tell the truth.
It seems that honest advice is hard on the ears, and not everyone is willing to listen to it, and not everyone is willing to listen to the truth.

Before Duan Da could make up his own nonsense, news came that Chang'an had already established an emperor.
He also issued an edict to the Eastern Capital, asking the Yue King Yang Tong to quickly leave for Guanzhong...
This imperial edict from Chang'an was placed on Yang Tong's imperial case.
Yang Tong's face became very ugly. He did not expect that he would finally have the opportunity to ascend to the position of emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
In the end, he didn't expect that his younger brother Yang You would also come to compete with him for this position.
But unfortunately, he really has this qualification, because Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was born to Liu Niangdi, the prince of Yuande.
The third brother, Yang You, was born to Prince Yuande's step-concubine Wei Shi. In other words, according to the theory of direct concubine.
He is just a concubine, while his third brother Yang You is his legitimate son.
Therefore, the biggest question now is whether the important officials around you are willing to admit it.
At this time, even Yuan Wendu, a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty, was not willing to live under the group of dignitaries in Chang'an.
Once the legitimacy of Yang You's succession is recognized, the official positions of himself and others will be a joke.
As for Duan Da, he was even less happy. I had just won the position of acceptance by supporting Yang Tong as emperor.
As a result, your damn Chang'an also established an emperor. Why, are you competing with me in the ring?
Damn, the spring breeze blows and the war drums beat, who is afraid of whom in this world?
"How could the King Dai be so young and be the emperor, presiding over such a chaotic situation in the world? At this moment, it must be those two bastards Gao Junya and Wang Wei who are doing whatever is wrong."
"Your Majesty, you must not accept this decree. You should repulse the envoys and order the ministers in Chang'an to go to the east capital to see your Majesty as soon as possible."
After hearing what Duan Da said, Yang Tong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and frowned slightly.
"Only my third brother, as well as all the noble families in Chang'an, are you willing to listen to my will?"
"If they dare not come, I am willing to lead a large army to fight against them." Liu Changgong quickly bowed to his subordinates to show his loyalty.
"..." All the ministers looked at this brazen bastard.
Nima, where did the army come from? Did you pull it by yourself or did you pull it by yourself?
Yang Tong was so angry that his nose almost crooked, but at this time, he really didn't fall out with his minister.
But at the critical moment when he wanted to win over his subordinates, Yang Tong, whose eyes twitched, managed to squeeze out a happy smile.
"I am very pleased that Liu Qing can be so loyal..."
So Yuan Wen glanced at the countless civil and military officials, as well as those idiots who looked like clowns, and could only step out of the queue and salute Yang Tong.
"At a time when the Sui Dynasty was in critical danger of survival, we should no longer judge people in terms of concubines, but should be based on virtuous people!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Zhaodai and a group of officials from Chang'an have come to the Eastern Capital to have an audience. The edict must still be issued, and it must be issued clearly."
"In addition, I have a plan that will enable us to have hundreds of thousands more powerful troops in the Eastern Capital."
"???" All the ministers and Yang Tong looked at the always resourceful Yuan Nei Shi Ling with confused expressions.
#####
It shouldn't be. Could it be that he was also infected by Liu Changgong's stupidity and started talking nonsense?
"I'm talking about Yuan Neishi, your plan is to recruit all the people of Dongdu into soldiers, right?"
Duan Da almost burst into laughter, but when he thought of his current situation, his mood dropped again.
"Of course not. The hundreds of thousands of powerful troops Yuan mentioned are just outside Dongdu City, back in Luocang City."
"!!!" Yang Tong shook his hand and almost hit the edict from Chang'an directly on the face of Yuan Neishi, who was talking nonsense.
One by one, the important officials in the court were also shocked and dumbfounded.
Yuan Wendu ignored these stupid colleagues and continued to speak.
"If I really didn't dare to say this before the Wagangzhai army was defeated by Jiangdu's army, it would be completely arrogant."
"Now, Li Mi has been defeated again and again by Yang Liu. The rebels in Wagang Village have lost all courage, and even the troops in Wagang Village have escaped from the battle."
"It is enough to see that the decline of Wagang Village has been obvious. Moreover, after Li Mi captured Heyangcang and Huiluocang."
"In order to win over people's hearts, they distributed food on a large scale. Now I am afraid that the food reserves have been exhausted. Is this why Li Mi wanted to attack Hanjiacang City?"
"It's just that now, Hanjiacang City is still in the hands of the imperial court, and it has suffered successive defeats, which has gradually made the leaders of the villages around Li Mi feel dissatisfied."
"If your Majesty can send an envoy, say that he is powerful, and promise him a high official and generous salary, I believe that in order to deal with the threat from Jiangdu's army, Li Mi will most likely be willing to surrender to your Majesty."
