In the thirteenth year of Daye, on March 11th, Cheng Yaojin killed the Li family envoy, cutting off Xu Shiji's escape route to seek refuge with the Li family.
On March 12, the thirteenth year of Daye, Xu Shiji was forced to open the city gate and surrender to the Far Eastern Army under Cheng Yaojin's persuasion.
At this point, the Wagang Army, which once dominated the Central Plains, shocked the world, and made countless people believe that it could change the world, was completely destroyed in a strange process.
The Far Eastern Army also completely connected six counties in Hebei, eight counties in Henan, and five counties in Shandong.
At the same time, the Hedong Li Yuan Group sent troops to Guanzhong. After an arduous offensive and defensive battle and at great cost, they finally captured Chang'an City and occupied the entire Guanzhong. They included eight counties in Hedong and seven counties in Guanzhong, and all areas in northern Shaanxi except Mayi County.
The three counties are also connected into one area.
In this way, the previously chaotic situation in the entire north suddenly became clearer.
Wang Junlin Group and Li Yuan Group became the two largest overlords in the north.
Only the city of Luoyang and the two surrounding counties are still controlled by the Sui Dynasty forces headed by the emperor's grandson, King Yan, Yang Tan. Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that King Yan, Yang Tan, has become a puppet. The person who really controls the two counties around Luoyang, Kyoto, is Wang Shichong.
In addition, Mayi County was occupied by a group of foreign horse thieves. Li Yuan once tried to send troops to Mayi County and found that the number of this group of horse thieves had grown to 50,000 in just over a year. Their combat power was astonishing and they were well-equipped. If they
If you want to capture Mayi County, you must pay a huge price. Compared with the importance of Guanzhong, Mayi County has always been placed last.
Further to the west, the situation in Tianshui County, Pingliang County, Jincheng County, Zhangye County and Xiping County is a bit strange. When the world is at war, these five counties seem a bit quiet, but what is certain is that they have been quietly replaced by the original ones.
The army was controlled by the generals and turned into five powerful warlords.
These five powerful warlords are Wu San, the general of Ying Yang Lang of Pingliang County, Zhou Hu, the general of Jincheng County, Su Changqing, the general of Ying Yang Lang of Zhangye County, and Jiang Mulang, the general of Zhen Xi Lang of Xiping County.
The person who controls Tianshui County is Shangguan Hu, who originally guarded the northwest border.
In the early years, Li Yuan and Li Shimin did not know about the relationship between these five suddenly rising warlords and the horse thieves in Mayi County and Wang Junlin. However, in the past two years, Li Shimin secretly developed intelligence forces, coupled with Li Shimin's extraordinary mind and extremely keen vision.
, and soon figured out the relationship between these six people and Wang Junlin.
This is also the reason why Li Yuan, while attacking Guanzhong with all his strength, knew that Wang Junlin was plotting in the Central Plains and was fighting fiercely with the Wagang Army, but still sent Li Shimin to lead heavy troops to defend the Far Eastern Army.

Under the guidance of Cheng Yaojin, Xu Shiji met Wang Junlin in the temporary palace of Prince Qin'an in Luokou City.
Even Xu Shiji couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he thought about meeting the world-famous peerless murderer and peerless overlord.
Especially when he thought about the remarkable deeds that Wang Junlin had done over the years that shocked the world and even were called miracles, he even took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart.
I wonder what King Qin An thinks of himself?
Although he had deliberately planned this, it would be counterproductive. King Qin An would be angry because he delayed surrendering until the end, so he would not reuse him.
Although confident enough, but
Xu Shiji also knew that Wang Junlin had many talents under his command and there was never a shortage of strong generals.
Therefore, he has been worried that he will not be reused. Although he does not have the ambition to conquer the world, he has the ambition to conquer the world. If Wang Junlin does not want to reuse him, he believes that he will never have a chance.
Because, if he falls into the hands of Wang Junlin and becomes his general, he may never have the chance to serve others again.
In the study, Wang Junlin was engrossed in reviewing the documents sent from the counties under his command, and seemed not to notice the arrival of Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin.
As the territory and population under his rule increased rapidly, he spent most of every day reviewing documents from counties and counties, and this was done by Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Liu Ziming. Sometimes it was not easy to think about Yang Guang.
, after all, how big was the Sui Dynasty back then!
"See you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin and Xu Shiji stepped forward and bowed, their expressions and tone were very respectful.
"What strategy does General Xu think I can use to capture Taiyuan?" Contrary to Xu Shiji's expectations, Wang Junlin did not mention anything about his surrender or ask about his past. Instead, he treated his old subordinates and ministers with the same attitude or attitude.
He glanced at him casually, without any nonsense, and directly asked the most core question facing the Far East Army at the moment.
Before Xu Shiji came, he naturally thought carefully about the process of meeting Wang Junlin, anticipated several Wang Junlin's attitudes, and made careful plans. He even carefully considered the questions Wang Junlin might ask, and
Carefully prepare how to respond and how to answer is most beneficial to you.
Unfortunately, no matter what he thought, he never expected Wang Junlin to directly ask such a question.
Based on his previous identity, he had never thought about sending troops to Hedong and capturing Taiyuan.
Therefore, he immediately calmed down and began to meditate.
Perhaps in Wang Junlin's view, only in this way can he see Xu Shiji's true ability level.
After all, Xu Shiji was the invincible Li Ji in the Tang Dynasty, second only to Li Jing. After thinking for a moment, he came up with a clear idea and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, although Li Yuan's main force is in Guanzhong now, the Far East Army has captured
Taiyuan is not easy. I heard that Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, was good at commanding troops. He led 50,000 elite troops and was always on guard against the Far East Army. There were still 50,000 troops guarding Taiyuan City. If the prince could not generalize the troops within half a month,
After defeating these 100,000 people and capturing Taiyuan and even the entire Hedong, Li Yuan's main army in Guanzhong will immediately support him. Now there are nineteen counties under the prince's command, and many counties need to be divided and guarded. The troops that can attack Hedong
It is limited. When the time comes to fight against Li Yuan's troops, they will never have an advantage in terms of strength. Moreover, Taiyuan City is tall and strong, no worse than Luoyang City and Chang'an City. I thought that Li Yuan must have reinforced the Taiyuan City Wall against the gunpowder weapons of the Far Eastern Army.
, so if the Taiyuan defenders cannot come out, there is nothing we can do. In view of the above factors, I think Taiyuan and Hedong are not easy to fight."
"Very good." Wang Junlin nodded appreciatively. Unlike Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing, Xu Shiji did not cater to himself. He was able to stick to his own opinions in a pragmatic and pragmatic manner. He was also thoughtful, logically clear, had a strong view of the overall situation, and had a very clear vision.
Old and spicy, indeed extraordinary.
But Xu Shiji had just surrendered to the Far Eastern Army after all.
, is far from clear about the power of the Far East Army. When the intelligence information is unclear, it seems that there is no problem for him to draw such a conclusion, but in fact it is naturally a big problem.
However, Wang Junlin did not mention these questions because he knew that he did not need to mention them. It would not take a few days for Xu Shiji to understand that his analysis today was wrong, and the magnanimity he showed at this time would help make the proud Xu Shiji
Truly surrender to him.
Wang Junlin no longer mentioned the capture of Hedong and Taiyuan, put down the approval document in his hand, glanced at Xu Shiji and Chen Yaojin, and said with a smile: "Two generals, please take a seat!"
The two sat down, and Xu Shiji asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to serve you in this humble position?"
Xu Shiji was originally not in a hurry to ask such a direct question, but the question Wang Junlin asked him just now made him feel that the curtain of the Far Eastern Army's war in the world has completely opened, and now the biggest enemy of the Far Eastern Army in the world is the Li Yuan Group, which attacked Hedong.
Being with Taiyuan was one of the most important links, and he didn't want to miss it.
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "General Xu is very concerned about whether he will be reused by me!"
A trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Xu Shiji's face, and he said with some embarrassment: "Please forgive me for my sin of being humble. I am eager to serve the prince. Of course, it is a lie to say I don't care. I tossed and turned all night last night.
I didn’t fall asleep until late at night.”
Wang Junlin said calmly: "Your 50,000 troops are still under your command. Cheng Yaojin is the deputy general and is organized into Wagang Camp."
When Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin heard this, they couldn't help being shocked, and then they showed extremely grateful expressions. They admired Wang Junlin's magnanimity and mind.
Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin are the real old men of Wagang Village. Even the Wagang Army was able to develop to command the entire Central Plains and even occupy most of Shandong. The two of them contributed a lot. It can be said that they are the real veterans of the Wagang Army.
, I have a very deep feeling for Wagangjun.
Wang Junlin obviously took this into consideration, so he directly organized their troops into the Wagang camp. This was to take care of their plot and feelings.
But this is actually very taboo for the Far East Army, or from Wang Junlin's point of view, because the Wagang Army is a surrendered army and an army that has just surrendered. It is good that it has not been broken up and organized into other armies, and it has also been given a gift.
The camp number of Wagang Camp naturally has the potential for Wagang Camp to unite and develop a rebellious spirit.
At this moment, Xu Shiji suddenly understood what Cheng Yaojin said before: Wang Junlin didn't care at all how good the relationship between the two of them was, even if they had heavy troops.
"I'll give you half a year to complete the Far Eastern Army's equipment change and the Far Eastern Army's training model. But there is no need to repeat the Shedao training camp. Recently, our training camp in the Central Plains has been established." Wang Junlin added.
Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will complete his dressing and training tasks on time and serve the Lord in his battles in the world."
