At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 656 Wang Shichong's wishful thinking

Wang Jundu looked around deliberately, and then said cautiously: "The matter is of great importance, please also ask Qi Wang to stand back, and Jundu will report to Qi Wang in detail."

Gao Bufan was a little funny, but he couldn't help but think of those telecom fraudsters in the future. The first time he asked the victim to find a secluded place, so as not to be disturbed by the outside world, which would lead to the failure of the deception. At this time, Wang Jundu was like a telecom fraudster. The fraudsters, but Gao Bufan still obeyed and dismissed all the soldiers, leaving only Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and Xu Shiji behind.

A trace of undetectable disappointment flashed in Wang Jundu's eyes, but he was sensible, and did not further ask Du Ruhui and the others to retreat, he cleared his throat and said, "Perhaps King Qi is also very clear that although Li Mi claims to have millions of troops, he is just It was nothing more than a bluff, but the actual strength was only about 300,000. First, they fought against Yu Wenhua and Rush, and lost tens of thousands of elites. Then they fought against Dou Jiande at the foot of Handan City, losing a few generals and tens of thousands of elites. Finally, they were defeated by the King of Qi. Even Shan Xiongxin, a powerful general under his command, has taken refuge in King Qi. Now that Li Mi has stormed Luoyang City for several months, it is already at the end of his force, and it is a great time to completely defeat him, so King Zheng plans to take the initiative to attack Yanshi and take back Luokoucang, I also hope that the king of Qi can cooperate and send troops to attack Hanoi County, so that Li Mi can't look after each other, and in the end he will be able to defeat it in one fell swoop."

Xu Shiji sneered and said, "Since Li Mi is at the end of his battle, why didn't Wang Shichong take the opportunity to defeat him, instead seeking to unite with King Qi?"

Wang Jundu smiled awkwardly but politely and said: "General Xu doesn't know something, the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Although Li Mi suffered repeated setbacks, his army strength still exceeds [-]. The soldiers and horses in Luoyang City are still powerless to defeat Li Mi."

Changsun Wuji took the opportunity to ask, "How many soldiers and horses are there in Luoyang City?"

Wang Jundu suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, with an expression of hesitating to speak.

Gao Bufan smiled lightly and said, "This is a military secret, isn't Wuji a little too strong?"

Changsun Wuji was "shocked" for a moment, and then apologized: "What King Qi said is very true, this subordinate is indeed reckless."

Wang Jundu rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said with a determined expression: "King Zheng sincerely united with King Qi. To show his sincerity, Jundu should also confess his sincerity. To tell you the truth, King Qi, now Luoyang City There are less than [-] soldiers and horses, and Li Mi's army is pressing down on the country, and Li Tang is watching, the situation is very dangerous, otherwise, King Zheng would not be eager to ask you, King Qi, for help."

Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Xu Shiji all looked thoughtful, obviously considering the credibility of Wang Jundu's words.

Gao Bufan nodded with "satisfaction" and said: "It's rare for Jundu to tell you frankly. From this point of view, the situation in Luoyang is indeed very pessimistic."

Wang Jundu hastily said sincerely: "Li Mi was an out-and-out rebel when he followed Yang Xuangan in the rebellion, and although Li Yuan initially used the banner of respecting the Sui Dynasty and supported the replacement of the king as emperor, he abolished it a few months ago. The emperor has established himself, and his wolf ambitions are clearly revealed. Only King Zheng really wants to restore the Sui Dynasty. His loyalty to the Sui Dynasty can be learned from the sun and the moon. You can be said to be like-minded, King Zheng and King Qi, and the road is not alone, so, I also hope that King Qi will extend a helping hand to Luoyang to save the emperor and the Sui Dynasty. After Li Mi is wiped out, King Zheng will open the gates of Luoyang to welcome King Qi to the Eastern Capital to assist the government and help restore the Sui Dynasty. event."

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes, and Xu Shiji snorted secretly. The reason why Wang Shichong didn't abolish the emperor and stand on his own was because he didn't have Li Yuan's strength for the time being. Wang Rucheng's co-government is a blank check, just a deceptive nonsense.

Gao Bufan glanced at Wang Jundu thoughtfully, and had to admit that this kid was thick-skinned, he was obviously brazen, he was talking nonsense, but his face was neither red nor his heart beat, and he even showed a righteous expression, Niu Bi !
Wang Jundu looked at Gao Bufan with earnest and sincere eyes, obviously waiting for his reply, but Gao Bufan was also unequivocal, nodded and said with emotion: "King Zheng is loyal to Sui, it is really a model of a minister, This king admires Luoyang so much, it is absolutely impossible to see Luoyang in danger."

Wang Jundu immediately said with tears of gratitude: "Qi Wang is wise."

However, Gao Bufan immediately changed the subject: "However, the troops under the King's command are also stretched. I'm afraid we won't be able to send troops to Hanoi County in a short time. At least we have to break through the Liyang warehouse."

Obviously, Wang Jundu also knew that it was impossible for Gao Bufan to be fooled by his nonsense just now, because neither his uncle Wang Shichong nor Gao Changqing had the slightest intention to restore the Sui Dynasty. The so-called "respecting the Sui Dynasty" was only used temporarily It was just a cover for embarrassment, so Wang Jundu knew very well that there was no real benefit, Gao Bufan could not send troops to help, so he turned his eyes and said: "What King Zheng means is that as long as Li Mi is wiped out, Hanoi County and Heyang Cang will be returned. King Qi."

Gao Bufan's eyes flashed, and he spit out five words: "Add Xingyang County."

Wang Jundu's complexion changed slightly, Gao Bufan is talking like a lion, Xingyang County is just to the east of Henan County, which is the east gate of Luoyang, and Hulao Pass is also in Xingyang County, if Xingyang County is given to Gao Qi, there is no doubt that Let people put a knife on their own necks, not to mention the fertile land in Xingyang County, which is the main grain production area. If Gao Qi takes Xingyang County away, he will undoubtedly cut off a piece of meat from Dongdu.

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "This king also knows that you can't decide this matter yourself, why don't you go back and ask King Zheng for instructions, this king will wait for you."

Wang Jundu's complexion fluctuated, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "No need, before we set off here, King Zheng has given Jundu the right to make decisions on the fly."

A flash of surprise flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes. It seemed that Wang Shichong trusted his nephew very much. He smiled and said, "So, Cointreau agreed to my request?"

Wang Jundu smiled wryly and said, "Jundu wants to object, but his strength doesn't allow it, so he can only face the reality."

Gao Bufan couldn't help laughing, Wang Jundu cupped his hands and said, "Jundu can agree to King Qi's conditions. After the matter is completed, Xingyang County will return to King Qi, but Hulao Pass is not included. Hulao Pass is related to the safety of the Eastern Capital. I still hope King Qi understand."

Gao Bufan smiled when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Forget it, it's the so-called festival of meeting ministers in times of danger, and you can know honest ministers. King Zheng is utterly loyal to Sui, how can this king not save him? So he ordered the mobilization of manpower, and strived to dispatch troops to Hanoi County within ten days."

Wang Jundu was overjoyed secretly, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, King Qi, for his understanding of righteousness. It is not too late. Jundu will rush back to Luoyang to report to Emperor Ming and King Zheng."

Gao Bufan waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be in a hurry, Jundu is exhausted all the way, how can I not entertain you, this is not the way of hospitality, Wuji, order someone to prepare a banquet, this king wants to welcome Jundu Wash the dust."

Wang Jundu's heart moved, and he saluted respectfully: "Thank King Qi for giving the banquet, but Jundu is disrespectful."

Then, Gao Bufan ordered someone to take Wang Jundu and his party down to rest and take a bath.

After Wang Jundu left the big tent, Gao Bufan asked: "There are only [-] troops left in Luoyang City, how reliable do you guys think?"

Xu Shiji shook his head and said, "Wang Shichong is cruel and cunning. This Wang Jundu is also dark-bellied and thick-skinned. I can't believe it. The strength of Luoyang City is definitely more than 30,000."

"And there will be a lot more, maybe [-] to [-], or even [-] to [-]." Changsun Wuji added.

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "It's about the same as I expected. Wang Shichong still has two skills in using soldiers, so I really shouldn't underestimate them."

The three of Du Ruhui nodded in agreement. It is obvious that Wang Shicheng's annihilation of Liu Yuanjin, Ge Qian, and the Supreme King Lu Mingyue could not be pure luck. Moreover, this person is cunning and vicious, and he is also courageous. He is a man who dares to fight Even though he was defeated by Li Mi last year, he was huddled in the city of Luoyang and did not dare to stand out, but if anyone underestimates him and treats him like a turtle, he is afraid that he will be in trouble in the blink of an eye.

You must know that Wang Shichong is not a turtle with a shrunken head, but a poisonous snake. No, he has finally seized the opportunity after hiding in Luoyang City for more than a year. One bite, if Li Mi is bitten, hey, if he doesn't die, he will have to peel off his skin!
Du Ruhui said with a serious expression: "Wang Shichong is cunning and untrustworthy, King Qi must be cautious when cooperating with him, and beware of his counterattack at any time."

Gao Bufan thoughtfully said: "Then act first, how about finding a way to knock out his fangs?"

The four looked at each other and smiled, discussing closely.
