The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 372 Wang Shichong's Ambition
After some affectionate hospitality, Gao Qi finally resigned from Cao Cao and led the army to continue northward.

It can be seen from this banquet that Cao Cao also maintained his youthful aspirations.

All kinds of feelings to fight against the Hu Kou, so Cao Cao specially ordered the clan generals Xia Houdun and Cao Ren to lead five thousand cavalry to follow Gao Qi to the north to fight against the Hu Kou.

It should be noted that the Central Plains was not a land of horses. Cao Cao separatized the Central Plains for several years before he barely spent a lot of money to build a cavalry force of more than [-].

But now, in order to be willing to support Gao Qi against Hu, Cao Cao took the initiative to help.

It has to be said that Cao Cao's actions made Gao Qi dispel his original thoughts and began to re-examine him.

…………

Eastern Capital, Luoyang, Zheng Guogong Mansion
It's just that Wang Shichong is taking the lead at this time, and his power can be described as extremely serious!
It turned out that since Wang Shichong led the army to rescue Luoyang and failed, he was defeated by the Wagang Army.

In the end, Yue Wang Yang Tong sent an envoy to release him, pardon his crimes, and stationed in Hanjiacang City.

Hanjiacang City has always been a place for grain storage in Luoyang. The grain from Luokou warehouse and Huiluo warehouse was transported here, so they lived here.

Its importance is self-evident, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a strategic location.

It's just that Wang Shichong had long harbored disobedience, after the news of Yang Guang's death reached Luoyang.

Wang Shichong summoned his followers in the name of King Qin, took the opportunity to enter Luoyang Palace, controlled the government, and supported Yue Wang Yang Yu as the emperor.

Afterwards, Wang Shichong was conferred the titles of Zheng Guogong and General, and officially started the road of serving the emperor to seek disobedience!

However, over the past few years, Wang Shichong's power has become stronger and stronger.

And what comes with it is the seniority of his inner ambition.

Today, Wang Shichong is not only satisfied with the position of Duke, but is always coveting the supreme throne of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, in recent days, Wang Shichong has been gradually planning to abolish and establish Yang Tong.

It is only said that at this time, the relatives of Wang's clan gathered together to discuss with Wang Shichong.

Since everyone present was Wang Shichong's confidant, Wang Shichong went straight to the point and said: "Everyone, today's son has no virtue."

"It simply cannot bring a stable life to the people under its rule."

"Therefore, after careful consideration, I have decided to abolish the emperor, become a great treasure, and unify the world."

Because a long time ago, Wang Shichong mentioned it subtly and cryptically.

Therefore, although Wang Shichong's official showdown is now, his confidants are not shocked.

Immediately after him, the five generations of fierce generals who were born at random, Wang Yanzhang, the current general of the Wang family, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, if you want to rebel, rebel!"

"As long as you give an order, my nephew will definitely not frown, immediately kill all the people in the palace, kick the emperor away, and support you as the emperor."

The identity implanted by Wang Yanzhang was Wang Shichong's nephew.

When the rest of the confidant generals heard the words, they couldn't help but sighed secretly: "Oh, it seems that the Wang family has long been secretly rebellious."

"If there were wolves before and tigers after, how could Sui Ting recover?"

However, although everyone agrees, it's a pity for Sui Ting.

However, out of self-interest, no one thought of entering the palace to inform and protect the Sui Dynasty.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the world is in chaos today, with heroes vying for the throne, and anti-kings looking around.

The demise of the Sui Dynasty is a foregone conclusion, and smart people will definitely choose Ling to invest in others, as a capital for promotion.

Therefore, this meeting lasted only a short time, and it was unanimously passed.

Next, Wang Shichong began to secretly prepare all the preparations for the abolition of the emperor.

A few days later, the people under his rule discovered that there are many auspicious things in various places.

The words "Wang Shi Dangxing" suddenly appeared on it.

Wang Shichong, who heard this scene, pretended to be very happy, and even offered sacrifices to heaven in the suburbs of Luoyang himself.

After that, it was even announced at the ceremony that all places will get better and better, and the policies will become more and more favorable.

This move has greatly won the hearts of the people and made the people support Wang's rule even more.

This provided the most basic guarantee for Wang Shichong to seize the throne.

However, although everything is ready now, it is still far from the wind.

After all, although there are various signs that the Wang family is prosperous, it is impossible to usurp the throne for no reason.

If the throne obtained in that way does not come from the right path, it will also make the rule unstable.

How could Wang Shichong, who has been in officialdom for a long time, not know this truth?

Therefore, for the next period of time, Wang Shichong was quietly waiting for the opportunity.

…………

Caozhou, Liangjun, Chenliu territory
It is only said that after bidding farewell to Cao Cao, Gao Qi led the cavalry and Cao Jun's cavalry to continue northward.

In just a few days, he left Yingchuan County and went straight to Chenliu in Liang County.

Liang County was under the rule of Meng Haigong, Song Yiwang of Caozhou, but Cao Cao stationed troops on the border at this time.

Its intention is self-evident, as long as Meng Haigong stops Gao Qi's troops, Cao Cao will invade and declare war on him.

Meng Haigong's strength is already weaker than Cao Cao's, and the territory under his rule is sandwiched between Wagang and Cao Cao.

Therefore, Meng Haigong had to pay attention to Cao Cao's threat, so he had to let go of the line of defense and let Gao Qi lead his troops to leave.

After continuous day and night marches, Gao Qi led tens of thousands of knights through Chenliu, arrived in Yanjin, and then crossed the Yellow River.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Qi led the army and officially entered Weijun, Jizhou. At this time, King Xia Dou Jiande also abided by the agreement and borrowed from his army.

Not only that, Dou Jiande also personally came to meet Gao Qi and others for laboring.

…………

For a while, Gao Qi finally met the only anti-king in the great uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty who raised troops with ordinary people.

Looking from afar, one can see that Dou Jiande's clothes are not so extravagant, but very ordinary.

If it wasn't for Dou Jiande's all-powerful side, Gao Qi would have thought he was just an ordinary farmer.

Slowly approaching, Gao Qi pulled the reins to control the horse, then saluted, and said: "Gu Gaoqi, Gao Tianyu thank King Xia for his kindness."

"I also sincerely thank the people of northern Xinjiang for being able to take care of the overall situation and let the lonely leader go north to fight against the Hu Kou."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Qi quickly jumped off the horse and bowed respectfully to Dou Jiande.

In fact, this is indeed not Gao Qi's show, but a sincere thanks to Dou Jiande.

After all, Dou Jiande's strength runs through Hebei, and he is one of the best warlords in the world.

If Dou Jiande refuses to borrow Gao Qi, even if Gao Qikong has the will to resist Hu, it will come to naught.

The main reason why Gao Qi did not choose to go north from Bingzhou was because of its favorable location.

Bingzhou is mountainous and the terrain is steep, and the Taihang Mountains stretch [-] miles across its territory.

The passage of the cavalry will instead slow down its speed. It is better to enter Jizhou.

Although it is detoured, its terrain is flat and flat, which is most suitable for cavalry to gallop.

Now the situation in northern Xinjiang is extremely critical. In order to race against time, Gao Qi chose to enter Jizhou and enter Yanmen territory from Hengshan County.

…………

For a while, Gao Qi was about to lead the army into Yanmen again.

What kind of waves will be caused by the battle in northern Xinjiang?
