The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 497
Yang Yong surrendered Yu Chigong and got his wish. Taking stock of the results of the past year, he first eliminated Gao Kaidao, Xu Yuanlang and Liu Heitai, then defeated the Li family and his sons, and successively surrendered Luo Song and Yu Chigong. General, this year can be regarded as a brilliant record.

Although generals such as Luo Shixin, Wu Tianxi, Du Yi, Qu Tugai, and Pei's father and son were lost, there are also fierce generals beside him, such as Luo Song, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Shan Xiongxin, etc. These four people are not inferior to those of the past in terms of martial arts. "Admiral Five Tigers", this is what comforts Yang Yong.

Yang Yong sent an order to congratulate and arrange a big banquet for Yu Chigong to reward the three armies.

While Yang Yong and others were in high spirits in Daxing City, Li Yuan from Bingzhou was not idle.At this time, his two envoys, Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing, had already arrived at Jiangling in Liang State and Danyang in Wu State. Since Fang Xuanling's trip to the south of the Yangtze River had paved the way for them, Pei Ji and Liang Wang Xiao Mian , Liu Wenjing and Wu Wang Du Fuwei quickly signed a strategic alliance, and agreed to join forces in the spring of the next year to deal with Yang Yong.

After sending Liu Wenjing away, Fu Gong Er asked Du Fuwei: "Your Majesty, our army in Wu has enough fine food, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and thousands of generals. In terms of actual strength, we are not inferior to Li Tang. We are fully capable of following Why did Yang Yong form an alliance with Xiao Xian and the Li family father and son? The Li family father and son had just suffered a defeat. They must have no good intentions when they came to see us. According to my subordinates, our two families were killed by his Li family. Father and son are being used as guns. Don't you think His Majesty?"

Du Fuwei smiled indifferently: "Brother Gong Er, of course I know this. But the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Now Yang Yong is powerful, and the Li family father and son are no opponents. Once Li Tang is destroyed by Yang Yong, Yang Yong will definitely use troops against me in the south of the Yangtze River." Only the three of us can join hands to destroy Yang Yong."

Fu Gong Er said disapprovingly: "Your Majesty, what will happen after Yang Yong is destroyed? Do you think the Li family and his son will keep their promise and rule the Yangtze River with us? Even if he kept his promise, our territory has not expanded much. The ones who have benefited the most are Li Tang and Xiao Xian, is it true that His Majesty is willing to let the Li family father and son dictate?"

Du Fuwei sighed: "Brother Gong Er, the world is in chaos today, and all heroes are rising together. However, in my opinion, the ones who have the ability to unify the world are the father and son of the Li family. First, Li Gui, Xue Ju, and Liu Wuzhou were defeated by them. After the father and son were destroyed, there were Luo Yi, King of Beiping, Liu Heita, King of Eastern Han, Xu Yuanlang, King of Lu, and Gao Kaidao, King of Yan. None of these people is inferior to us in terms of strength. , even the so-called mighty and invincible Turks are no match for the Li family and his son. Now there are only our two families left in Jiangnan, and Xiao Xian is not the one who will make a big deal. Although Yang Yong struggled quite fiercely, it was only temporary. Brother Gong Er, please think about it, a dissolute person who is a remnant of the previous dynasty and can't even hold on to the crown prince will not be a big deal after all, so the Tang Dynasty should be prosperous."

After hearing these words, Fu Gong Er acted as if he didn't know Du Fuwei, looked at him for a long time, turned his heart over several times, and finally said nothing, said goodbye to Du Fuwei and went back to his tent, sighing.

His confidant Ximen Junyi learned about this and saluted: "Uncle Fu, since ancient times, whoever is your majesty, who would not seek world dominance? However, your majesty actually said this, it seems that he is a person with no ambitions, thanks to our husband and wife How about risking your life to save him? Why don’t you kill Du Fuwei and let Fu Bo ascend the throne?”

Fu Gong Er's eyes lit up, his heart turned, and then his face sank: "Bold! Ru'an dare to turn against you with a small thing, is it a big rebellion?"

Ximen Junyi was so frightened that she plopped and knelt down: "Damn the villain, the villain didn't say anything, the villain only knows to be loyal to the general, and he didn't think about anything else."

"Get up, don't say this kind of thing to the second person in the future, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe."

Ximen Junyi obediently left the camp of Fu Gong Er, wiped the sweat off his face and left.

Looking at Xi Junyi's back, from this moment on, Fu Gong Er had his own plan in mind.Soon, his henchmen Ximen Junyi, Feng Huiliang, Chen Dangshi, Li Zhengdao and others successively occupied important positions in the army.

However, paper cannot contain fire after all, and there is no airtight wall.This abnormal phenomenon was quickly noticed by Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei was very displeased. He secretly said, we are young. We have formed a life-and-death friendship since we stole the owner's first sheep. Over the years, you I am loyal to you, and I am very fond of you. Over the years, your status has been second only to me. I respect you as my elder brother, and everyone else respects you as my assistant uncle. General, in charge of military affairs and some government affairs, I didn't expect you to have a double heart for me.
After some thought, Du Fuwei immediately convened an imperial meeting, adjusted his official positions, appointed Kan Leng as the General of the Left, Wang Xiong as the General of the Right, and Feng Fu Gong Er as the Minister of the Book of Order Zuo Pushe, and pretended to ask these people for their opinions. .

None of these people are prostitutes. Seeing the situation, they all fell to their knees and shouted: "Long live Shengming, I will obey your orders and thank you."

Du Fuwei nodded in satisfaction. A few days later, in the early court, Wendong and Wuxi, after paying homage to the king, Du Fuwei looked at the expressionless Fugong Er, and asked the head official to read the official edict in public. The matter was settled.

Kan Leng and Wang Xiong are Du Fuwei's adopted sons.Since Du Fuwei broke up with Li Zitong, he has selected more than [-] people of insight in the army and adopted them as adopted sons. The most famous people are these two.

Obviously, this is tantamount to allowing Kan Leng and Wang Xiong to take over the military power of Fu Gong Er, and Fu Gong Er was cut off from the military power, and only a minister named Zuo Pushe was appointed. It is second only to Du Fuwei, but this is a civilian position, and having no military power in troubled times is equivalent to nothing.

Fu Gong Er was naturally dissatisfied, but he kept silent on the surface. From then on, he traveled around and made friends with a monk called Changfa Dao. He invited this long-haired Taoist to his house and learned Taoism.Du Fuwei also ignored it.

The hour hand points to the spring of 617.After nearly two months of mobilizing troops and generals, preparations for war are ready.

Du Fuwei asked Wang Xiong, the right general, to lead 20 troops out of Huaibei to attack Henan.Wang Xiong is unsurpassed in martial arts, and he is very good at using troops. Compared with Yuwen Chengdu, he is even better than Yuwen Chengdu. He dares to stand shoulder to shoulder with General Tianbao in terms of military strength. He is familiar with the art of war and strategy.

Every time he won a battle, Wang Xiong would reward his subordinates with all the trophies he got.Therefore, Wang Xiong's troops are extremely strong in combat, and they have always been invincible in all attacks and won all battles.

The Wu army was unstoppable. They conquered the fortress along the way, and the front of the soldiers went straight to the city of Nanyang.

The current defender of Nanyang is Cai Huan, who was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty. He was originally loyal to Xue Ju and his son. After he surrendered to Yang Yong, he has always been loyal.Yang Yong valued him very much, and he was once appointed as the general of Daxing, Xianyang and other places. This time he followed Zhang Gongjin to sit in Henan, and now he is ordered by Gongjin to lead [-] troops to guard Nanyang.

Cai Huan was furious when he learned that Wu Jun had violated the mirror. He sent someone to report to Zhang Gongjin in Luoyang, and went out of the city to meet the enemy. The two sides set up a battlefield outside Nanyang City.

Cai Huan fought against Wang Xiong, but he had no three matches, and was beheaded by Wang Xiong with a halberd.The rebel army was defeated. After Wang Xiong took Nanyang, he continued to conquer several states and counties without stopping, and then pushed towards Xuchang.Zhang Gongjin led [-] troops to stand firm without fighting, and sent someone to ask Yang Yong for help.
