Jiangdu.

Yang Guang sat on the couch in the palace and couldn't help but feel the cold winter was bone-chilling.

After listening to Yuan Chong's report, he couldn't help but feel even colder. It was really a cold winter.

"Damn Li Mi, he actually annexed Meng Rang's military territory so easily? Is this Meng Rang a pig?"

The emperor was even a little embarrassed at this time.

After Li Mi killed Meng Rang and annexed his troops, he even proudly asked Jiangdu for his victory and credit, saying that he had destroyed the pseudo-Qi Emperor Meng Rang for the court, recruited 300,000 troops and horses for the court, and recovered the ten counties.

This is simply slapping him in the face of Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty, Li Mi has sent Wang Bodang to lead 100,000 troops to officially cross the canal and attack Wagang, Dongjun, where Luo Gui stationed."

"Is this good news?" Yang Guang was furious.

"Your Majesty, this should be good news."

“What’s the good thing?”

"Your Majesty, while Li Mi sent troops to Shandong, Luo Cheng sent his brother Luo Cunxiao to lead 10,000 Liaodong soldiers to cross the sea and arrive in Donglai to land."

Yang Guang fell silent all of a sudden.

Has Luo Cheng finally sent troops south?

"Didn't you say before that you can restrain Luo Cheng from connecting with Yuan clan?"

"Your Majesty, please send a message from Liaodong, saying that Luo Cheng's brother Luo Shixin had just captured the Fuyu City of Yuan's clan, and there was almost no war damage. Yuan's clan lost more than 20,000 troops. Now Yuan Taizuo is already asking for peace from Luo Cheng."

This news hit the emperor like a heavy hammer.

"Okay, I know."

The emperor sighed, "Since Li Mi has sent troops to Shandong, I can issue an order to reward him. Also, transfer Sima Dekan and Yu Wenhua and Xiaoguo Army back, let Lai Huer and Chen Ling retreat to Pengcheng, and let Li Mi and Luo Gui and his son fight, and we just sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor believed that he could send troops across the river to attack Du Fuwei.

He is still thinking about regaining the Danyang counties and retreating to Jiangnan.

"I asked you to find a Jiangnan woman to be your wife for the Xiaoguo Army soldiers. How did this happen?"

"I am stepping up the processing."

"Your Majesty, I think that there are Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Lin Shihong, Zuo Cai equally, and it is not stable. Even if these rebels are not present, Jiangnan is not a place to defend. Now there is Wei Wensheng in Guanzhong, so I think it is better to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible."

Yang Guang glared at him.

"Don't I know that Guanzhong is easier to defend, but how can I go back now? There are rebels on both sides of the river, and even the banks of the Han River are rebels. There are rebels. How can I go back thousands of miles away?"

Yuan Chong said, "Your Majesty, as long as your Majesty is determined, you can always kill you. Now there are still 100,000 soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army. Most of the soldiers are in Guanzhong and have been outside for a long time. Everyone is eager to be in the family. If Your Majesty gives a heavy reward, the soldiers will definitely work hard. It will not be difficult to fight back to Guanzhong all the way."

"It's easy to say." The emperor did not want to go back to Guanzhong, "Have you ever thought about how to keep it even if you go back to Guanzhong, and there is no place in Guandong to provide money and food?"

No matter how Yuan Chong persuaded him, the emperor has no intention of returning to Guanzhong now.

"What's going on with Li Yuan recently?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, Li Yuan has no movement, but Li Yuan's son Jiancheng, Shimin, and Yuan Ji have been very active recently. They often go to and from the Xiaoguo Army camp and have close contacts with the generals and corps of the Xiaoguo Army. I am a little worried."

The emperor's face turned ugly indeed.

In the city of Jiangdu.

Li Yuanji and Yuwen Zhiji were drinking and listening to music in a brothel.

Although there are rebels everywhere and beacons everywhere, the city of Jiangdu is still singing and dancing. Although prices have risen, these noble children will not have any personal experience.

"The food in Jiangdu is almost finished." Li Yuanji held the wine glass and suddenly said.

"Well, I heard about it, too." Yuwen Zhiji nodded.

"Now there are enemies on all sides. Although there are still some counties and counties loyal to the court, they can no longer transport the food." Li Yuanji said again.

"Today, several Guanzhong Xiaoguo Army escaped, but were arrested by the emperor and then killed them all." Yuwen Zhiji sighed.

"It's useless. If you kill these people, more people will run away. Killing is not afraid of killing. I heard that many soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army are talking privately that the emperor will send troops across the river to attack Du Fuwei, take back Danyang, and move the capital to Danyang." Li Yuanji said.

"The capital of Jiangdu cannot be kept, and it is still moving to Danyang. It's useless. Not to mention anything else, there is no food or grass. How to defend it. What's more, Danyang is still in Du Fuwei's hands now!"

The two young men are also confused about the future at this time.

"Li Mi is very famous now. She just killed Meng Rang and now claims to have a million troops. She has 18 counties in the area. Do you think he can succeed?" Yuwen Zhiji asked.

"Maybe, but I heard that Luo Cheng had sent his brother Luo Cunxiao to lead the Liaodong Army to Donglai Port, and maybe he would go to Jiangdu at any time."

"Yes, Luo Cheng is also a tough guy."

"What do you think we should do? You can't wait to die here, right?"

"Wait until Li Mi or Luo Cheng call me!" Yuwen Zhiji shook his head and smiled.

"I'm afraid I can't wait for this day. It is said that Jiangdu has only enough food for one month, and I can't even survive this winter."

"What should I do? You can't run away too, but the emperor has issued an order long ago. Who dares to escape? No mercy will be killed!"

Li Yuanji then whispered to him, "I know that everyone in the Xiaoguo Army wants to escape, and even the officials who follow him want to leave this ghost place."

"It's true, but do you have any good solutions? The emperor refused to leave."

"A few people escape, they will definitely not be able to escape, but if many people escape together, the emperor will have no choice." Li Yuanji said.

"You mean?"

"Let's contact more people, and then everyone runs together. If the emperor dares to send people to chase them, we are not afraid. Maybe we can also take the people who come to chase them together. No matter what, Guanzhong is better than here, and the brothers' families and relatives are still in Guanzhong!"

Yuwen Zhi and I thought about it, and thought that the same is true.

"Okay, let's contact you quietly."

Yuwen Zhiji was the first to be the young prisoner at this time. Although his father Yuwen Shu died, after all, the Yuwen family had many friends after many years of power.

He was very worried that Luo Cheng would go south to Jiangdu. The Yuwen family, who had old grudges with Luo Cheng, might be able to escape the disaster of extermination, so he was even more anxious to escape from Jiangdu than Li Yuanji.

As for Li Yuanji, he heard from his father and brother that the emperor is very worried about their family now, and might be able to take action at any time, so he is eager to escape.

But one or two escaped alone, but they couldn't escape, so they thought about escaping together.

"Huya Lang General Zhao Xingshu has always been intimate with me. Xun Shilan is my nephew, so I'll contact them."

"Crown Prince Qianniu Shibaishiu has a good relationship with me, so I'll contact him."

The two of them drank the wine in the glass, then quickly went downstairs and left each.
