Chapter 388 Li Yang Controversy (Part [-])
Liyang City is in chaos.

In the south of the city, Wang Junkuo led the army to chase and kill Li Shimin, and then the Wagang army from both sides fought in the city, which caused a lot of shock.

Afterwards, hundreds of corpses were left behind in Shifang in the south of the city, and the old robes turned against each other today.

The people in the city closed their homes and were in panic all day long.

Rumors and rumors spread in the city. Some people rumored that Xu Shiji wanted to usurp power and seize the throne, and kill Li Mi to make himself king. Some even said that Wang Junkuo wanted to kill Li Mi to avenge Zhai Dazhai.

But no matter what kind of rumors, in the end, it is said that the victorious side will wash Li Yang's city and completely wipe out the other side.

Some people say that a so-called rebel army like the Wagang Army, which is composed of reckless people, will have an internal fight without a gap of several years, which is not enough to succeed.Everyone is more and more disappointed with the Wagang Army. Now not only the generals and officials of the Wagang Army, but also the people who have always supported the Wagang Army have begun to waver.

After losing popular support, the Wagang Army is now only an empty name, and has actually existed in name only.

Inside the military camp in the south of the city, Li Chongjiu, Xu Shiji, Guo Xiaoke, Xu Gai, Wang Junkuo, and the escaped King Qi and Princess Changle were discussing among them.

Xu Shiji said: "I just received the news that Yu Wenhua led an army of [-] to Liyang from Wei County, but it will take a few days to reach the city. According to this, we are going to take advantage of the Wagang Army in Liyang. During the battle, occupy this city to seize Cangcheng."

Guo Xiaoke said: "Yu Wenhua and this thief have been peeping at Liyang Cang for a long time. Before the Battle of Tongshan, Yu Wenhua and his 10,000+ army ran out of food, so they attacked Cangcheng and wanted to seize food. If Brother Xu hadn't dug Surrounding the city with moats, Cangcheng has long been breached. This time he is making a comeback, and he is determined to win."

On the other side, Yang Hao's face showed hatred when he heard Yu Wenhua and his name.Yang Hao said: "Yu Wenhua and this person are deeply trusted by the emperor, but they betrayed the court. I will never forget the night in Jiangdu in this life. Inspector Li, I know that your heart is for the court. Sui, cut off the head of this person to comfort the common people in the world. Rebellious officials and thieves must be punished."

Hearing Yang Hao's impassioned words, everyone present reacted flatly.

For example, Xu Shiji, Wang Junkuo and others were originally Wagang generals. When they gathered in Wagang against the Sui Dynasty, they didn't like Yang Guang. Yang Hao said that they didn't care about killing Yu Wenhua and avenging Yang Guang.

Xu Shiji thought for a while, and said in a down-to-earth manner: "His Royal Highness King Qi, although Yu Wenwenji suffered heavy losses in Tongshan before, but there are still [-] elite soldiers around him. Afterwards, they made a comeback, and with the current situation of Liyang City, it is impossible to defend it at all."

Hearing Xu Shiji's rebuttal, Yang Hao's displeasure was beyond words: "Inspector Li is brave and good at fighting, didn't he bring three thousand tigers and wolves from Youzhou? What's more, there are tens of thousands of elites in the city, and the food and grass in Cangcheng can last ten years." , relying on the city to defend against danger, Yu Wenhuaji can only retreat. Do you pretend that you don't understand anything, don't understand the situation, and come to deceive Gu?"

Guo Xiaoke said with a sneer: "King Qi, so what if we can defend Liyang City. Liyang is located at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Tongji Canal. The waterways meet and extend in all directions. Anyone can attack. If you go to Yuwenhuaji today, you will come to Dou Jiande tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be Wang Shichong, so what's the use of defending this lonely city?"

"Presumptuous, you are just a small school. If I were in Dongdu back then, I would have ordered people to beat you to death with sticks, and no one dared to criticize you."

Guo Xiaoke glanced sideways at King Qi and said, "King Qi, this is Liyang, not Dongdu. Even if it is Dongdu, it is not Dongdu a few years ago."

Yang Hao's face turned red when he heard this, and he got up abruptly.

"Second brother, don't get angry." Yang Ehuang hurriedly grabbed Yang Hao and said.

On the other hand, Xu Gai said: "King Qi, please calm down, Shiji, Xiao Ke hasn't apologized to King Qi yet."

Xu Shiji listened to his father's words, clasped his fists and said: "King Qi, the last general also spoke bluntly, and he didn't mean to offend, please forgive me."

Guo Xiaoke sneered a few times and sat still, but seeing Xu Shiji glaring at him, he got up lazily and said: "King Qi, you are a rough man who doesn't know how to speak, please don't take offense."

Seeing that he had gone down the steps, Yang Hao's face softened a little, and he glanced at Li Chongjiu, thinking that to suppress such an old Wagang general, he needs the support of this person.

At that moment Yang Hao said calmly: "Forget it, there is something wrong with the lonely king."
Hearing what Yang Hao said, Li Chongjiu nodded slightly. It seems that King Qi has made some progress after going through this ordeal, at least the superficial skills have been achieved.
For Li Chongjiu now, Li Yang would definitely not be able to defend, but the question is who will abandon the city, and who will give the mountain of grain and grass in the warehouse city.

Of course it won't work for Li Tang. With Li Yuan's current power, if Li Yangcang is even more powerful, Dou Jiande will certainly not be able to. In the future, Dou Jiande will be Li Chongjiu's main opponent for Hebei.

But if it is burned, it will hurt the peace of the world. In this troubled world, a mouthful of rice may save a life.If anyone does this, they will be stabbed in the back by the people.

So after much deliberation, only Yu Wenhuaji is the most suitable.According to Wei County, Yu Wenhuaji is now between Li Yuan and Dou Jiande. In history, Yu Wenhuaji was beaten to the ground by Li Shentong and Dou Jiande, with a left punch and a right slap.

So with the grain and grass in the Liyang warehouse, Yu Wenhuaji should be able to survive the attack of Li Yuan and Dou Jiande for a while longer.

Li Chongjiu said immediately: "Liyang is too far away from Youzhou, we can't hold it, now I decided to lead the army back to Youzhou, I don't know what the king and princess think?"

Hearing this, Yang Hao couldn't help thinking of the prosperity of the Eastern Capital, the richness of Xijing, and the bitter cold of Youzhou, and couldn't help feeling disappointed, but he also knew that this was his best decision right now.

So Yang Hao said helplessly: "Just follow Shang Gugong's words, let's drive Youzhou alone."
Seeing that his elder brother and Li Chongjiu had reached an agreement, Yang Ehuang couldn't help smiling sweetly, feeling very happy from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, a general outside the account came in and reported, saying: "Report to General Xu."

Xu Shiji said: "Right now everything is up to Princess Shanggu, you should report to him."

The general was stunned for a moment, then he turned to Li Chongjiu and said, "Nuo, please report to Duke Shanggu, Duke Wei and Li Shimin in the north of the city, have led the army and the families of the Wagang Army to pack up and prepare to leave Liyang."

"Oh? Duke Wei has finally decided to return to Guanzhong?" Li Chongjiu couldn't help sighing. Just like in history, Li Mi finally led the Wagang Army to the west of Guanzhong and defected to Li Tang.

At this moment in the north of the city, Li Mi sat on the carriage with a blank expression on his face.

The carriage was bumping, but Li Mi closed his eyes and remained silent. The Wagang officials under his command mostly stayed by Li Shimin's side at the moment, and there was only Wang Bodang accompanying the carriage alone.

Now that the important matter is over, Li Mi has let go of everything at this moment, and the city of Liyang behind him has recorded his ups and downs.

He remembered that in the ninth year of Daye, at the head of Liyang City, he offered three strategies to destroy Sui Dynasty to Yang Xuangan, who was in charge of the Liao army on the front line and guarding Liyang.At that time, he was the mastermind of Yang Xuangan. He was young and vigorous, and he thought that all heroes in the world were under his control.

The second time came a few years later, when he raised an army in Hebei, Xu Shiji led [-] elite troops to lightly capture Liyang Cangcheng.

Li Mi opened a granary here to release grain, and recruited more than [-] soldiers with the grain. At that time, Wagang Village was strong and strong.He remembered that he was full of ambitions at the beginning, and he talked with Zhai Rang, the head of the family, that Wagangzhai had the capital to fight for the world, and he could go south to Henan and attack the Eastern Capital.

The events of the past are still in sight, but this time, Li Mi is at a loss. The Yang Xuangan and Zhai Rang who served in the past are all dead. The great cause of overthrowing the Great Sui Dynasty, establishing a new dynasty, and unifying the world, I thought it was in the wrong hands. own body.

But I didn't expect that Mangshan was defeated, Luoshui was defeated again, and the dream of fighting for hegemony disappeared in a blink of an eye. I and Yu Wenhua and I competed for Luoyang. Among them is Li Yuan, who is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Li Mi sighed, the hegemony was gone.

The carriage drove slowly, but the soldiers of the Wagang Army behind them looked back at Li Yang, but turned their heads three times a step at a time.Compared with the officials and generals who were eager to defect to Li Tang, they had no choice but to go to Guanzhong. For these ordinary people, being able to stay in their hometown was what they really wanted.

Behind Li Mi's car, Li Shimin was negotiating with Changsun Wuji, Xu Jingzong, and Liu Xie.

Xu Jingzong said: "We retreated from Liyang, and it was cheaper for Yu Wenhuaji. Based on this Cangcheng, this person can recruit another 10,000+ people. Maybe he will make a comeback."

Liu Xie said: "Yu Wenhuaji is just a dead bone in a tomb. I heard that after he was defeated in Tongshan, he fled to Wei County. Yang Zhan, self-proclaimed emperor, under the pseudonym Xu, this kind of people are insane and go against the law, even if you give him 10,000+ troops, what good is it, but Li Chongjiu won Xu Shiji, Guo Xiaoke's help, and added more than ten thousand Wagang elites, You can't kill it in Liyang, but let it go back to Youzhou, like a dragon entering the sea, or a tiger returning to the mountains, if you don't get rid of it, it will be a serious trouble in the future."

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Mr. Liu is right, auxiliary machine, immediately draft a letter for me, and tell the comfort ambassador of Shandong Road, General You Yiwei, King Huai'an, to let him return to Youzhou when Li Chongjiu returns to Youzhou." , cut it off halfway, so that it cannot be born back to Youzhou."

Xu Jingzong and Liu Xie were all overjoyed when they heard the words.Xu Jingzong said: "If the king of Huai'an came out and intercepted him halfway, Li Chongjiu's life could not be saved."

Li Shimin nodded, and when Xu Jingzong and Liu Xie withdrew from the tent, Changsun Wuji said: "The King of Huai'an is in charge of the troops of several provinces in Shandong Province. Without the emperor's edict, I am afraid that the King of Huai'an will not buy our account."

Li Shimin said: "The king of Huai'an wants to subdue all the heroes in Hebei, and the only ones who want to eradicate are Li Chongjiu and Dou Jiande. You have stated in your letter that they are powerful, and he will definitely not sit back and watch Li Chongjiu return to the north."

Changsun Wuji nodded when he heard the words, and said: "What the King of Qin said is true, I will prepare my pen and ink."
