Dajin royal family

Chapter 523 Dugu Thoughts (thanks to Mao Qiansong for the reward)

The reason why the envoys sent Pei Ji and Changsun Wuji over this time was because Li Yuan had his own thoughts.He was worried that if he sent other people over, Jiang Chengxiao might kill them and attack the city.Pei Ji and Changsun Wuji have special identities.

After all, Pei Ji has connections with Wenxi Pei's family, and the eldest grandson Wuji is Jiang Chengxiao's brother-in-law. Therefore, Li Yuan is sure that Jiang Chengxiao will not kill them.

This is indeed the case, but Li Yuan did not expect that his grandson Wuji would be detained by Jiang Chengxiao.

Of course, as the only Pei Ji who returned from the Jin camp, his speech was not so pleasant.

"After the auxiliary machine entered the camp, it seldom communicated with me. I asked Jiang Chengxiao many times how he was, but the auxiliary machine kept silent. Later, Jiang Chengxiao invited him to have a secret talk. The detention may be true. It is also possible that the auxiliary machine is pushing the boat along the way, deliberately."

"Zhuzi, it's useless for me to value him so much." Li Yuan scolded.

Li Anmin's face was also not good-looking. Seeing that the situation on their side took a turn for the worse, it is not impossible for Changsun Wuji to have a second heart. What's more, Changsun Wuji knew their plan.

"Father, I can't say anything about Wuji's current situation, but he knows our plan to leave the city, so we should change our plan now."

Li Anmin didn't fully tell Changsun Wuji all the plans of where he would go after breaking through the siege of Chang'an City, which made him a little relieved.

"How is the reorganization of the soldiers?" Li Yuan asked.

Li Jishi said: "The state of Wei has left tens of thousands of soldiers, and my son has chosen his bravery to form a new army of [-]."

Li Yuan nodded, and continued: "Changsun Wuji may not be able to keep a secret in the face of Jiang Chengxiao. Just in case, our plan to break out has to be slightly changed."

"My boy thinks so too." Li Anmin continued: "This time we broke through, the four gates were heavily guarded, and the south gate and west gate were weakly guarded. However, this may be Jiang Chengxiao's intentional flaw, so my boy thinks that four gates should be guarded. The door breaks out at the same time"

On the third day of the Northern Jin siege, the two sides had fought against each other several times under the city of Chang'an.However, the Northern Jin Dynasty did not take the initiative to attack Chang'an City once, instead of attacking it, it waited for Li Yuan's troops to break through.

Gradually, the nobles in Chang'an City seemed to understand Jiang Chengxiao's plan, and he planned to besiege Li Yuan to death.

It has to be said that this trick really hit Li Yuan's vital point. After the battle in Guanzhong, Li Yuan didn't have much food in his hands. Not only was he borrowing food from the nobles in Guanzhong, but some soldiers even started to rob the people of food.

The chaos in Chang'an continued.

The rice shop was surrounded by soldiers under Li Yuan's command, and they rushed into the shop violently to snatch the grain.

A carriage was parked not far away, and a corner of the curtain was slowly lowered.

"I'm dying." Dugu sighed inexplicably.

Dou Wei, who was opposite him, also had a silent expression on his face.

They supported Li Yuan early on, hoping that he could pacify Guanzhong, and then go out to fight for hegemony.But Guanzhong was about to be pacified, and the Northern Jin Dynasty came.

It was almost like a joke, first Li Yuan besieged the Wei State, and then the Northern Jin besieged Li Yuan, there was only a few hours difference before and after.

"Brother Dugu, where do you think Li Yuan lost?" Dou Wei couldn't help but said, "I know that the Northern Jin Dynasty seized the opportunity of the decisive battle between Li Yuan and Wei Hong, and took the opportunity to enter Guanzhong, but I don't understand. Why is this happening?"

Duguzheng analyzed: "I lost to that King Zhao."

"King Zhao?"

"Yes, or we lost to the Shandong gentry." Duguzheng said: "The Northern Jin Dynasty used an army of [-] to cross the river to attack Yuwenshu, go deep into the battlefield of the Central Plains, restrain Yuwenshu's army, and tell the world the goal of the Northern Jin Dynasty It's the Central Plains."

"Subsequently, the Jin army in Hanoi County prepared to cross the river to attack Henan County, which made the people of the world almost certain that this was the entire plan of the Northern Jin Dynasty. A [-] army was used to attract the main force of Yuwenshu on the frontal battlefield, and a surprise army crossed the river to attack Luoyang."

"Everyone thinks that the target of the Northern Jin Dynasty must be Yu Wenshu. How could anyone think that Jiang Chengxiao would jump out of the battlefield and surprise Pujin Pass and enter Guanzhong. Or, how could anyone think that Jiang Chengxiao would be so brave and open up two battlefields."

"You have to know that Jiang Chengxiao's surprise attack on Guanzhong is very risky. If he is unlucky, Wei Guo is not besieged, and Li Yuan has not entered Chang'an, then he will be besieged by Li Yuan and Wei Hong. But , he was lucky."

Speaking of this, Duguzheng showed a wry smile on his face, unexpectedly grasping such an impossible opportunity.

"Everyone ignores this King Zhao, Li Yuan, Wei Hong, me, you, and even the people of the world. We all feel that the reason why he was able to win Bingzhou, pacify Hebei, and wipe out Li Fazhu is all because of his behind-the-scenes Shandong gentry, we ignored him."

After a pause, Dugu sighed, "We have two defeats."

"Two losses?"

"Yes, the three of us had our own minds when we chose who to support, which led to the division of the Guanzhong nobles, which in turn slowed down the time for the unification of Guanzhong and gave the Northern Jin Dynasty a chance. On the other hand, the Shandong gentry is not the same. Pei Ju, Wang Hong, and Zheng Shanyuan The three of them supported Jiang Chengxiao at the same time, and Bingzhou was unified in a very short period of time, and then Jiang Chengxiao quickly dispatched troops, and took Hebei while we were still fighting among ourselves. This is also a defeat."

"What about the second defeat?" Dou Wei continued to ask.

"Second defeat" Dugu Zheng said: "The second defeat is Jiang Chengxiao, a monster!"

"Monster?"

Dugu nodded heavily, "So far, I understand that this King Zhao was probably very smart when he was young. Knowing that his father was powerful, he pretended to be sick and closed his residence. Then he went to Shandong twice, and with Shandong It was convenient for the gentry to accumulate strength in secret, as evidenced by their military prowess in the First Battle of Loufanguan, they defended Liaodong several times and went out to slaughter aliens, the purpose of which was to train troops."

"When the world was in chaos, he had already reached a cooperation with the Shandong gentry, entered the Bingzhou, and his power expanded rapidly!"

Dou Wei opened his mouth, and quickly recalled his past impressions of this person in his mind.

Dugu said: "We all set our sights on King Zhao and ignored this Jiang Chengxiao. This man's scheming is extremely terrifying. Our spies in Taiyuan have not received any news about this raid. I guess, this In the second raid on Guanzhong, the number of people in the Northern Jin Dynasty who knew about it was no more than one hand."

"He didn't hesitate to use the [-] army as a bait to deceive the people of the world, and put all his eggs in one basket to win Guanzhong. It can be seen that this person is well versed in how Emperor Wu started his family back then. I guess, he must have a backhand."

After finishing speaking, Dugu was also in a trance.

They were defeated by a boy!

A boy in his twenties who had never been valued by him.

Dou Wei sighed, "It is always said that Li Yuan underestimated the enemy's carelessness, we not only underestimated the enemy's carelessness this time, but also destroyed the city wall, if we had discussed with Wei Hong a lot in deciding who to support at the beginning, we would definitely not have fallen into such a situation. "

"It's useless to say these things now, we should think about what to do in the future." Dugu Zheng said.

Hearing this, Dou Wei glanced at the latter.

"You mean, we're going to contact Jiang Chengxiao?"

"Otherwise?" Duguzheng sneered, "Aren't we waiting to be abandoned by Li Yuan, and then slaughtered by the Northern Jin army who entered Chang'an City?"

They were very aware of Li Yuan's small actions, but they were too lazy to argue with Li Yuan at this time.

Since he couldn't see Li Yuan's hope of winning, he should consider retreat for himself.

Dou Wei hesitated and said: "I'm afraid this will not be easy. Since you said that he knew about Emperor Wu's founding, he must be very wary of us."

"Hey, that's why he needs us more." Dugu said with a twitch of his mouth, "I guess he doesn't want to face those guys from Shandong gentry all day long."

Hearing this, Dou Wei understood something.

"In that case, what should we do?"

Dugu smiled, "I already have a plan."

After listening to Duguzheng's words, Dou Wei smiled wryly and said: "Walking around, we still have to support the surname Jiang. These guys are not good people. They are very skilled at crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. We can survive for a while, but we are afraid that we will still be suppressed by him in the future. "

Dugu said: "Oh, it's true to say so, but if you don't do it, when Chang'an City is broken, Jiang Chengxiao can use the crime of treason to shed the blood of our Guanzhong nobles into rivers. I heard that this person was ordered to guard Goguryeo During the time, he murdered the common people of Goguryeo several times, and the methods were extremely vicious."

"Butcher County King." Dou Wei said.

"Yes, Prince Butcher."

Dou Wei cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll go back and make arrangements first. Brother Dugu, be careful, lest Li Yuan jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Don't worry, I won't give Li Yuan a chance. Besides, he's only thinking about breaking through now, so he probably doesn't have time to talk to us."

As they spoke, there was a trace of sadness on their faces.

The agency's calculations are all fallacies, and the planning ends in vain.
