Sui and Tang Dynasties: Became Yang Guang's Chief Advisor at the Beginning

Page 249

Today, he has won the trust of Dou Jiande and others. He has participated in all major events in the army, and has performed extremely well in the past few days.

From the beginning of a little counselor, he became the royal military adviser of Dou Jiande and several others!

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin frowned, and a flash of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He had always been somewhat suspicious of Du Ruhui who suddenly appeared.

But once Du Ruhui's background was clean, no major problems were found.

Second, Dou Jiande and others trusted him, and even Li Shimin could not order them.

"King Xia..."

"My subordinates don't dare to discuss this matter, it's better to leave it to King Tang to decide."

Du Ruhui heard the words, but did not immediately give his own thoughts, but said to Li Shimin in the distance.

His observations were extremely subtle, and he naturally knew that Li Shimin was wary of him.

If you say something easily, especially if there is a clue, it will definitely be rejected by Li Shimin.

It is better to take the retreat as the advance, and let Dou Jiande and others have a firm attitude first.

Even, this time is an opportunity to alienate the anti-king coalition!

"It doesn't matter, you can say it anyway, if it's reasonable, I think King Tang will agree."

Dou Jiande frowned, and at this moment he also caught a glimpse of Li Shimin's face, and said a little unhappy.

In terms of status, Dou Jiande is no lower than Li Shimin, and his position in the coalition forces is even more faintly suppressed by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's attitude is equivalent to taking his face away!

"King Xia is right, you can say whatever you want."

Wang Shichong on the side also agreed.

"Mr. Du just says what's on his mind."

Seeing this, Li Shimin's frowning brows suddenly stretched out, but another cold light flashed past his eyes.

After a long silence, his expression returned to normal, which was even more unexpected, and showed a smile.

"My subordinates thought that we should continue to march this time."

Du Ruhui didn't care what Li Shimin thought.

The purpose has been achieved, and it is even an open mouth.

If it is normal, it is safe to oppose the Wang Alliance Army and stick to the city at this time, but Du Ruhui is Yang Yu's subordinate, and naturally he has to think for the sake of Da Sui.

Continuing to march can disperse and gradually weaken the strength of the anti-king coalition, and it also learned from the black ice platform that the reinforcements of the Great Sui will arrive soon.

"Then according to the counselor's opinion, is it better for us to go east or south this time?"

Wang Shichong nodded slightly after hearing this.

However, a different kind of emotion suddenly appeared on his face.

Originally, according to Li Shimin's idea, this time it was going all the way east.

Conquering the eastern states and counties, we will approach Chang'an City!

Form a siege of Chang'an City with other rebels!

But Wang Shi was full of selfishness.

A man is in the middle of heaven and earth, how can he live in a melancholy for a long time? !

Although there were only [-] or [-] defeated soldiers left, he did not want to remain attached to Dou Jiande and even the allied forces.

Attacking and plundering in the south can approach Luoyang, the eastern capital!

If he can return to Luoyang, with the prestige and power of the Wang family in the local area for many years, it is inevitable that he will not be able to make a comeback!

In addition to Du Ruhui's strategy, it was also the result of Wang Shichong's secret efforts.

"Keep going south!"

"First, the defending forces in the states and counties in the east are stronger, and the rivers and rivers are not conducive to advancing."

"Secondly, if you can capture Luoyang, the eastern capital, you can take Luoyang as the main force, and then capture the neighboring states and counties."

"..."

Du Ruhui talked eloquently, and the pros and cons of this strategy were almost repeated in his words, so that people could not pick out any faults!

But the more so, the more Li Shimin in the main seat felt that something was wrong.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, was an extremely important city in the Great Sui Dynasty. It was normal for the anti-king coalition forces to capture it and use it as a base.

But don't forget, Yang Yu had already eliminated the rebels in Luoyang, Xingyang, Nanyang and other counties before.

In other words, today's Luoyang is firmly in the hands of the Great Sui, is it easy to capture it? .

Chapter 260

"Going south?"

Wang Shichong, who had this idea, was naturally full of joy when he heard the words, and immediately agreed with this statement.

"My lord, this time, it is not appropriate to continue to the south. Instead, we should advance eastward and cooperate with the rest of the rebel armies, heading towards Chang'an!"

At this time, Li Shimin said slowly, and he rejected Du Ruhui's idea, with a slightly tough tone.

As soon as the words came out, Wang Shichong's face turned cold, and he immediately replied.

It's just that the father said that the public is reasonable and the mother said that the mother is reasonable, whether it is going south or east, - can justify it.

Perhaps because of the same reason, Duke Li Mi of Wei chose to stand on Wang Shichong's side.

As for Dou Jiande, who has a very high voice in the big tent, it seems that he found that the atmosphere was not right, so he did not express his opinion, and he did not support which side, and chose to remain silent.

Such an attitude made the estrangement between Wang Shichong and the two deepened.

Du Ruhui, who took the initiative to provoke this scene, saw this and pulled out in time, and did not continue to speak out to intensify the conflict.

After all, everyone is not all fools. If this is too obvious, they will definitely be suspected.

In this way, everyone was in a stalemate for a long time, and after repeated discussions to no avail, the pace of the coalition offensive stopped for a while.

Taking this opportunity, Du Ruhui made a decisive decision, and directly let the dark line of the black ice platform lurking in the coalition quietly spread rumors:

Xia Wang Dou Jiande has the heart to annex Wang Shichong and Li Mi's men and horses!

Wang Shichong is like Li Shimin and Dou Jiande's men and horses as cannon fodder to capture Luoyang and take advantage of the fisherman!

This time, Li Shimin only intends to consume the army of Dou Jiande and others, while preserving the strength of the Tang Palace!

One rumor after another spread from the army, and finally reached the ears of the anti-kings.

Although these are all rumors chasing the wind and shadows, but all parties are scheming, plus some 'facts', it makes everyone suspicious of each other.

This is enough, and only one fuse is needed to make the coalition collapse!

……

Chang'an City.

The last ray of sunset on the horizon in the distance was devoured little by little by the dark night, and the night finally slowly enveloped the world.

Daxing Palace.

The original Yuhou Hall was not revoked after Yang Yu was conferred the title of Queen Qin, and the plaque above the main entrance of the palace was replaced with the plaque of the Qinwang Hall.

Inside the hall.

Yang Yu was invited to have dinner with Emperor Sui, Empress Xiao and Princess Ruyi.

Originally, because of some scruples, Empress Xiao did not let Princess Ruyi be notified, and she did not know where this girl got the news. Yang Yu just stepped into the palace gate when her figure appeared.

"King Qin, come and try this dish."

Empress Xiao greeted Yang Yu very enthusiastically, but did not seem to see Princess Ruyi's resentful eyes.

"The Empress is not welcome."

Although Yang Yu had chopsticks in his hand, he had no appetite.

Speaking of which, he has been in Da Sui for a while, and he is used to the food here.

However, compared with the diversified food of later generations, the food of the Sui Dynasty still seems a little monotonous.

Besides, this time it was said to be a meal, but Yang Yu didn't know that Emperor Sui and Empress Xiao were drunkards and not drinking!

Since the two of them appeared, their attitudes have obviously changed from before.

"Empress mother! I don't know, I thought you were mother and son!"

Princess Ruyi looked at her empty bowl, and then glanced at the small mountain of food in front of Yang Yu, biting a piece of meat in her mouth, muttering dissatisfied.

"Just talk too much!"

Empress Xiao glared at her and scolded with a smile.

"It was."

Princess Ruyi pouted and said a little aggrieved.

He didn't dare to attack Empress Xiao, so he glared at Yang Yu.

About half an hour later, this 'family banquet' was over.

"Mother, my son is full."

Princess Ruyi patted her chubby belly and said very satisfied.

When she was full of food and drink, the girl's eyes kept drifting towards Yang Yu, as if she wanted to accompany him to Fengyang Pavilion.

"Since you are full, you should go back to Fengyang Pavilion to rest first."

"The queen mother still has something to discuss with King Qin."

When Empress Xiao heard the words, she looked happy, and then said directly.
