At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 621 The Fat Sheep That Walks (Third Watch)

The spring breeze in February greened the willow trees along the canal, but it couldn't clear the silted canal.Because Yang Guang stayed in Jiangdu for nearly three years, and the country was in a panic everywhere, the canal was naturally not dredged, and many sections of the river were blocked by silt, making it impossible for boats to sail.

Therefore, when Yu Wenhuaji arrived in Xuzhou, he had to abandon the ship and go ashore instead. However, when Yu Wenhuaji left Jiangdu, he brought a large amount of treasures with him, as well as thousands of court ladies and concubines of Yang Guang.

Without ships to carry these huge treasures and delicate maids and concubines, it would be difficult to handle, so Yu Wenhuaji sent Xiaoguo army to plunder nearby counties and counties, snatched more than 2000 ox carts, and took the treasures and court ladies All were stuffed into the bullock cart, and they continued to go northward in a mighty way, entering the border of Qi County.

Due to the long journey and the increasingly hot weather, the Xiaoguo army had to carry weapons, escort food and luggage, and manage two thousand cars of women and treasures. They were so tired that they could not help complaining.

What is worth mentioning here is that since Yu Wenhuaji became prime minister, he has become more and more complacent and puts on airs more and more. He gradually ignores Sima Dekan who helped him to the top, and even Humiliated Sima Dekan in public many times, making him unable to step down.

Sima Dekan was furious and hated in his heart. Seeing the complaints from the soldiers, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Yu Huaji and make himself the boss.

It's a pity that when Sima Dekan was about to attack, he was reported by his party member Pei Qiantong, so Yu Wenhuaji acted first and killed Sima Dekan first, killing a mutiny in time.

At this time, Yu Wenhuaji was holding a wine glass in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, drinking while admiring Sima Dekan's head complacently.Sima Dekan's head was hanging on a bamboo pole, it was bloody, his eyes were still open angrily, it was very scary.

The puppet emperor Yang Hao looked pale and stood behind Yu Wenhuaji tremblingly, while all the ministers surrounded the bamboo pole silently.

Yu Wenhua and Huan glanced at the crowd, feeling extremely refreshed, even more comfortable than attacking Yang Guang's beautiful concubines. I thought that I had cowered like a quail in front of Yang Guang's seat back then. I don’t dare to show the atmosphere, now the feng shui has turned, hehe, although I don’t have the title of emperor now, I am better than the emperor. People who used to be above me can only bow their heads and ears in front of me, so happy!

"This is the fate of daring to plot evil!" Yu Wenhuaji pointed at Sima Dekan's head and said sadly. After speaking, he looked around the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on the puppet emperor Yang Hao.

Yang Hao was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop and said, "Prime Minister, this is none of my business, and I don't know anything about it."

A trace of complacency flashed across Yu Wenhuaji's face, and he pretended to help Yang Hao up and said: "The emperor is a man of gold, how can he kneel down and worship the minister, it really breaks the minister, get up quickly!"

Yang Hao stood up with a look of panic, and said embarrassingly: "The prime minister has done a lot of hard work, so it's nothing if I bow down, it's okay!"

Yu Wenhuaji laughed, and patted Yang Hao's shoulder grinningly and said: "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, I don't doubt you at all. Come here, send your Majesty down to rest!"

Two guards came forward immediately, and said coldly, "Da Cheng asks the emperor to go down and rest."

Yang Hao heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed the guards and left as if fleeing. Yu Wenhuaji looked at Yang Hao's back thoughtfully, and thought to himself: "Why don't you just kill this trash, and I will become the king myself." God forgets."

But Yu Wenhuaji thought about it for a while, and felt that he could not do this for the time being. The reason why the Xiaoguo army supported him was because he promised to take them back to Guanzhong. Only your own capital and territory will do, how can there be a displaced emperor?
Yu Wenhuaji made up his mind and decided to save Yang Hao's life for the time being, and make plans when he returned to Dongdu. If he could capture Dongdu, he might as well proclaim himself emperor there.

Hey, I have to say that Yu Wenhua and this guy are cowardly like a dog, but they are as fierce as a tiger after gaining power. They even have a whimsical plan to take down Dongdu. I really don’t think of Li Mi as an onion. Li Mi surrounded Dongdu. If he failed to win for half a year, how could he, Yu Wenhua and He De?

But no matter what, Yu Wenhuaji dared to think, and dared to do it. He led the Xiaoguo army and continued to go northward to the Yellow River without any fear. On this day, he arrived at the junction of Lu County and Qi County. s position.

At this time, Dou Jiande, king of Changle, was leading an army to fight fiercely with Xu Yuanlang in Qi County, vying for territory. After hearing that Yu Wenhuaji had arrived, Dou Jiande personally went to the vicinity of Yu Wenhuaji's camp, and hid in the dark to observe carefully.

Gao Shixing and Gao Yaxian, Dou Jiande's generals, also came with him. Seeing that Yu Wenhuaji's team camped along the canal, the tents stretched for seven or eight miles, and they were disorganized.

Gao Shixing licked his lips and said excitedly: "Yu Wenhua and this person are cowardly and incompetent. They don't know how to march and fight at all. It's horrible to set up the camp like this. King Changle, why don't we take advantage of his hard work and come all the way to give him A surprise attack can definitely win a big victory."

Dou Jiande couldn't help being moved when he heard the words, it was rumored that Yu Wenhuaji had looted a lot of treasures and property in Jiangdu Palace, if he could snatch them, he would make a lot of money.

"Song Nayan, Ling Jijiu, what do you think?" Dou Jiande turned around and asked.

Song Nayan is Song Zhengben, and Ling Jijiu is Ling Jing. The two are now the chief advisers under Dou Jiande's command, and their opinions are highly valued by Dou Jiande.

Song Zhengben stroked his beard and said, "Does King Changle want to hear the truth or lies?"

Dou Jiande frowned and said, "Of course it's the truth, what's the use of my king listening to lies?"

Song Zhengben nodded and said: "Then my subordinate said it bluntly, it is not appropriate to fight with Yu Wenhuaji at this time."

As soon as this remark came out, Dou Jiande couldn't help being a little disappointed, but he still humbly asked, "Why?"

Song Zhengben analyzed: "Although Yu Wenhua and his teachers are exhausted from afar, the [-] Xiaoguo army is the elite under Yang Guang's command. They are well-equipped and not bad in combat power. It's also a tragic victory, if Xu Yuanlang comes here at this time, we will definitely be powerless to resist, then I'm afraid that you will steal the chicken and give it to others as wedding clothes."

Ling Jing also echoed: "Song Na's words are reasonable. Yu Wenhua is now powerful. Not only can we not touch it, but we have to avoid it for the time being. Gao Changqing originally planned to send troops to attack Li Mi, but now he is standing still in Gaoyang County. King Changle thinks that Why?"

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Dou Jiande's eyes, and he said calmly: "The kid wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and wait for Li Mi and Yu Wenhua to fight to the death before making a move!"

Ling Jing smiled and said: "In this case, why did King Changle rush to make a move? As the saying goes, if you are close to the water, you get the moon first. Gao Changqing tried to reap the benefits, but he didn't know that the king of Changle was much closer than him. Even if there was a profit, the king of Changle would take it first. If you leave him some soup, it will be regarded as the king of Changle, and you are benevolent."

Dou Jiande laughed when he heard the words: "That's right, I acted too hastily, if that's the case, let Yu Huahua and live a few more days for the time being, by the way, I heard that Xu Shiji and Lu Sheng each lead a The Qi army is stationed in Zhao County and Hejian County respectively, and they don't know what the plan is. This king's son-in-law is a monkey spirit, and he must send someone to keep an eye on him, so don't let them play tricks. "

Gao Yaxian said with a smile: "King Changle, don't worry, they have been stared at to death long ago, and any disturbance of the Qi army can't be hidden from our eyeliner."

Dou Jiande nodded in satisfaction and said: "That's good, as long as Gao Changqing is honest and honest, and for the sake of a son-in-law, it's okay to give him a sip of soup then, just give it to the king who is about to be born." A gift for the grandson, hahaha!"

Dou Jiande smiled happily, and led the people away quietly.

Yu Wenhuaji didn't know that he had just escaped a catastrophe, just like Yang Guang's concubine drinking and having fun, until the next day when the sun was three poles, the army continued to set off, crossed the Yellow River, went west, and entered the territory of Wuyang County, where Li Mi's forces out of range.

In fact, Li Mi had been paying attention to Yu Wenhuaji's movements for a long time. How could he miss such a big fat sheep running into his own territory?
