The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 243
Turning his attention to Luoyang city for a while, Wang Shichong, king of Luoyang, was discussing the military situation with the generals, and asked the generals: "Mianchi and Yima have fallen one after another. Our army was defeated as soon as the battle started. It's a bad start. What's your opinion?"

Duan Da saluted and said: "My lord, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Yang Yong's volunteer army has been resting and recuperating for the past few years. The famous backer king with an army of 40 is no match for Yang Yong’s 10 troops, now we only have 20 troops in Luoyang, how can we resist Yang Yong’s 40 troops? The prince should plan early.”

"Oh, Duan Sima, in your opinion, what should I do?" Wang Shichong's triangular eyes shone with supernatural light.

"Your Majesty, according to my humble opinion, we should unite with the Wagang Army to fight against the enemy. We sent envoys to Wagang Mountain to ask Li Mi to send troops, and copy Yang Yong's rear route. Our two families attack back and forth, and Yang Yong will undoubtedly be defeated." Duan Da bowed and saluted.

All the generals snorted when they heard this, and Wang Shichong didn't take it seriously and said: "Duan Sima, the Wagang army is not the same as our Luoyang army. How can we join us? We are attacked, and they have already gloated about it. They hope that we will perish as soon as possible. We Wouldn't it be humiliating to ask him to send troops at this time?"

Duan Da smiled: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. We can discuss our interests with Li Mi, tell him the truth that our lips are dead and our teeth are cold, and tell him that after the fall of Luoyang, Wagang Mountain will definitely become Yang Yong's next target. In this case, we Why don't the two families join forces to defend against the enemy? Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Although our two families have had conflicts, from time to time, from time to time, our two families fought each other for the sake of the foolish kings Yang Guang and Yang Tong. The master is gone, the prince and Li Mi have no deep hatred. If Li Mi is not tempted, we still have a way. The reason why Luoyang and Wagang Mountain are different is to compete for territory. If this is the case, why don’t the prince come here? Throwing away the pawns to protect the chariot, at worst, give him the Boai and other five counties in the north, I am afraid that Li Mi will not send troops."

After Wang Shichong listened, his triangular eyes turned, and a supernatural light flashed in his eyes, and his worry turned into joy: "Oh, Duan Sima is a great talent, how about letting Duan Sima work hard on this matter?"

"The subordinates don't work hard, they serve the prince, they go through fire and water, and they don't hesitate." Duan Da agreed very readily.

Wang Shichong was overjoyed, Duan Da tidied up, took a few followers, took Wang Shichong's autographed peace letter, and took the documents signed and stamped by Wang Shichong to cede the five counties in the north, and rode secretly out of the north gate Come to Wagang Mountain.

Duan Da arrived in Xingyang, which already belonged to the territory of Wagang Mountain. Duan Da explained his intention to the guard Shan Xiongxin.

What did Li Mi hear?Wang Shichong, an old fox, sent someone to ask me for peace, no need to ask, Yang Yong's soldiers are overwhelming, Wang Shichong is timid, and he wants me to send troops, it's wishful thinking!So I discussed with Xu Maogong and Wei Zhengyi, the counselors, and met the envoy first to see what he said before making any plans.

Li Mi sent an order to gather civil and military personnel in the Juyi Hall, and then summoned Duan Da in the hall.

When Duan Da entered the Juyi hall, he glanced at the two sides from the corner of his eyes. There were generals lined up on both sides, tall and short, fat and thin, and each of them was majestic and murderous. Duan Da was startled and thought to himself, Wagangzhai is really strong. Yes, but looking at the looks and expressions of these generals, you know that they are not bad.

Looking at the table in the middle, there is a person sitting upright, about thirty years old, with a face as deep as water, and a pair of witty eyes are looking at him.

Duan Da knew that this should be Li Mi, so he couldn't help being happy, he bowed upwards and said: "Duan Da, under the order of our prince, come to pay respects to the King of Wei." As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

Li Mi nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Watch the seats."

At this time, someone brought a chair over, Duan Da took his seat, and sat down not far from Li Mi.

"Lord Duan is probably not here for guests, I'm afraid you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace if you don't have anything to do! Your lord is taking care of everything every day, and it is said that he is even more busy recently. At this time, Lord Duan is here to see this king, why?" Li Mi looked at Duan Da Steadfastly sit there and stop talking, secretly thinking that so many of us are waiting to hear what you have to say, how can you sit still and not speak?So he couldn't help but ask with a bit of pride.

Duan Da smiled slightly, sat still, just arched his hands towards Li Mi and said: "King Wei, here is a letter written by our prince, please have a look at it." Come here and turn it over to Li Mi.

Li Mi received the letter in his hand, skimmed through it to understand what it meant, then put the letter down gently and said to Duan Da: "I have read the letter, thank you for your kindness. Sir Duan, is there anything else?"

This is tantamount to rejecting him and issuing an order to expel the guest.

Duan Da sat without moving, and continued to cup his hands and said: "King Wei, although Yang Yong is a rebel army, he is actually a remnant of the Sui Dynasty. He is a compatriot with the same mother as the emperor Yang Guang. They are a family. The country of the Sui Dynasty is theirs. The Yang family, now that Yang Guang, Yang Zhao, and Yang Tong are gone, Yang Yong is obviously fighting under the banner of the rebel army to revive the Great Sui Dynasty. Let’s talk more next time.”

"Lord Duan is only half right. Yang Yong is related to the emperor. He is indeed a remnant of the Sui Dynasty. But we have never had any contact with Yang Yong's rebel army, and we do not interfere with the river. And he made it clear this time, It is to avenge the family and get rid of the gangsters. Most of our brothers in Wagangzhai come from reckless backgrounds and are famous for being heroic. How can we intervene in this kind of thing?" Li Mi ordered someone to write the letter written to him by Yang Yong. Let someone hand over the letter to Duan Da for reading.

After reading it, Duan Da smiled and turned the letter over respectfully, then took out the document that Wang Shichong was willing to cede the land from his arms, and said to Li Mi: "Obviously, Yang Yong is using a plan to stabilize the army. To show our sincerity, King Wei might as well take a look at this."

Someone transferred the document to Li Mi. Li Mi took it over and looked at it. His eyes lit up, and he read it twice carefully. After thinking for a while, he put down the document with joy on his face, and then picked up the bamboo pen and wrote a letter. The letter, then stamped it, dried the ink, sealed it and ordered it to be handed over to Duan Da.

None of the generals knew what was in the document, nor did they know what Li Mi wrote. They just saw Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng, the two great counselors beside Li Mi, frowning, and then gave Li Mi a wink. Said: "Since your lord is sincere, it is really disrespectful. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Now that you are in trouble, how can I sit idly by? Go back and tell your lord, we are just a gentleman, and I will send troops immediately!"
