Great Sui Dynasty

After negotiation, the three parties finally reached a joint agreement.Each sent a pair of men and horses to form a coalition and jointly launched an attack on Jiangdu. Since the Yuwen family gave them this opportunity, it would be foolish not to take advantage of it.In the end, Du Fuwei sent 3 horses, Li Zitong sent 2 horses, Shen Faxing also sent 2 horses, and a total of 2 troops were ready to attack Jiangdu.Du Fuwei wanted to occupy a dominant position, so he sent [-] troops. This was not enough for him, who had [-] to [-] troops and a wide range of influence, but [-] troops were for Li Zitong and Shen Faxing. It's a bit tight, after all, they are only [-] to [-] people, this dispatch, if the officers and soldiers take the opportunity to raid their lair, they will become bereaved dogs. It can be seen that they have spent enough money this time.

"General Chen, you lead 5 troops to defend the south gate of Jiangdu to prevent Shen Faxing's rebels from crossing the river to attack. General Li, you lead 5 troops to defend the west gate to prevent Du Fuwei from sneaking in from the west gate. I personally lead the army to guard the east gate and North Gate!" Yu Wenhuaji said to Chen Ling and Li Jing, after Yu Wenhuaji's mobilization, Chen Ling and Li Jing successively pledged their loyalty to Yu Wenhuaji, but even so, Yu Wenhuaji still didn't trust these two people very much, After all, these two were also deeply favored by Yang Guang before, but they could not be asked to vote for their names, so Yu Wenhua and others did not reveal their plans, and only sent them to defend the rebels, who were the least capable of attacking. The second door, and he can really implement his plan.

"Yes! The final general will definitely not let a bandit get close to the city wall!" Li Jing quickly agreed, he was just a fool, seeing that Yu Wenhuaji was gaining power, and Yang Guang's days were declining, so Yu Wenhuaji would not let him do ideological work. Without hesitation, she threw herself into the embrace of Yuwen's family.

"The general is puzzled!" Chen Leng didn't respond with all his mouth. Although he took refuge in Yuwen's family, but his personality was there, and he felt that Yuwenhua's behavior was a bit inappropriate, so he directly brought it up.

"Oh~, I don't know why General Chen thinks there is something wrong?" Yu Wenhuaji was upset. You, a defector, did not follow what the new master said. What kind of trouble did you have? Didn't you see how good Li Jing is?Of course, there is still a smile on the surface.

"The general thinks that there is no need for me to treat mere bandits as if I were facing a big enemy. Moreover, we have an army of 40, and even if there are more bandits, there are no more than [-]. Why should we wait for them to attack? Why don't we send troops to calm them down? It can also stabilize the surrounding situation." Not only Chen Leng, even any general here knows this truth, but the troops that are several times larger than the bandits are huddled in the city. They are easy to bully.

"How did this officer not know?! Did General Chen think that sending troops is such a simple matter? Bandits and bandits can leave a city without defending and move around, and it is difficult to wipe out. Moreover, once the stalemate lasts for too long, the consumption of food and grass will not be a small amount. You don't know if you are not in charge Materials, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Since I took care of Jiangdu, I have discovered that the surface of Jiangdu’s prosperity is actually empty, not to mention that there are still 40 troops to support. The daily expenses of His Majesty’s palace are not small. Expenses. As an official, don’t you want to wipe out these thieves? But once you go out to fight, Jiangdu will be in a state of food shortage. All of these must be borne by this official. You all look at the surface of this official, but who can understand? The heavy burden on my shoulders?!" Yu Huahua performed in tears, causing Chen Ling and Li Jing to bow their heads in shame.

"I misunderstood my lord. I don't know the distress in your heart. I'm just a vulgar person. I hope my lord will not forget it!" Chen Leng realized that he had misunderstood Yu Wenhuaji, so he quickly apologized. Write down this unhappiness, then he will have endless shoes.

"Okay, I don't mean to blame anyone, I just want you to know that I don't know nothing about military affairs, and my father was once one of the top military masters in the dynasty." Yu Wenhuaji was deeply afraid that others would look down on him , After all, the life and death of more than 30 troops in the palm of his hand, if there is no military talent, it is difficult to convince the public, so he invited his father, the great god, to show that if he has never eaten pork, has he never seen a pig run? ?He has never led a soldier but has a father who is a military master. It depends on how other people guess.

"Yes! I know I'm wrong. I will definitely do my job according to your lord's orders!" If you don't express your opinion, it will be too rude. After all, everyone has invited all the people buried in the earth. Chen Ling has nothing else to say.

Jiangdu, the military camp, come to protect the big tent.

"Is what the general said true?" After Lai Hu'er came back from the palace, he summoned the remaining generals in his hands who were finally the emperor to the big tent, and told him what he knew. in the army.

"That's right, the Yuwen family's intention of rebellion is already quite obvious, and they control most of the military power. It is absolutely impossible for us to fight head-on with them, so our purpose is not to stop them, but to stop them before they rebel. I can rescue His Majesty smoothly!" Lai Huer said to these old subordinates, these are the old subordinates who have followed him for many years, and loyalty is not mentioned. Hu'er refused to hand over the team he brought out with his own hands, but the other 15 people could only give in, but if they didn't give up, maybe the food and grass would be severely withheld.

"General, since the Yuwen family is powerful, why don't we seek an alliance with the ministers of the court and China?" A subordinate asked, with the help of the ministers of the court and China, it will definitely be able to suppress the arrogance of the Yuwen family. Maybe the Yuwen family will have no chance to rebel. Of course, this was all that subordinate's idea.

"Confused! If the courtiers can stop the Yuwen family's treasonous path, is the Yuwen family still so arrogant? What's more, if you have a large army and are in charge of Jiangdu affairs, if someone comes out to accuse you of rebellion, will you How about removing this blocking stone? So don’t expect the courtiers to be of any help. You must know that they can’t even see His Majesty’s face. Are you willing to take the risk and jump out?" Lai Hu'er looked like he hated iron and steel, but he was relieved after thinking about it, and he didn't expect these big bastards to understand these political tunes, otherwise he would have a headache.

"General, since the courtiers can't help us, why don't we ask other people for help?" Zhou Faxing finally spoke again after some thought.

"Others? Who else? Could it be..." When Lai Huer heard that he wanted to rely on power other than the courtiers, he didn't realize it all at once, but then he thought about it, if he couldn't use the power in the city, could he also borrow the power from outside? ?It's just whoever you want to borrow, and whoever you can borrow.

"Yes, Yang Yichen led an army of [-] to confront Liu Yuanjin in the south of the Yangtze River. If he can help, then we will have more bargaining chips in our hands, but we just don't know if he is willing to take this muddy water. Of course, there is another person besides him, the general Forgot? Although this person is not near Jiangdu, he is not too far away." Zhou Faxing pointed to the north with his finger.When Lai Huer saw this gesture, his eyes suddenly lit up, because he knew who Zhou Faxing was referring to, and maybe only he could have the power to recover, and this person was King Qi of Licheng in the north of Jiangdu—— Yang Hao!
