Chapter 810 Countermeasures
When Wang Shichong learned that the two cities of Yiyang were easily lost, Pei Renji, Cheng Zhijie and other generals of the Wagang Army turned against each other, they were so angry that they cursed in the hall, hating that these surrendered generals were unreliable.
The civil and military ministers in the hall also had their own thoughts, and some other surrendered generals of the Sui army were unhappy and brought them in in this way. After all, many civil and military generals surrendered later, who were not forced to surrender, and who was willing to surrender to Wang Shichong?
Yuan Wendu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is urgent to hold those people accountable. Now Li Jing leads 200,000 to 300,000 troops and horses, and is on the verge of the city. He is stationed fifty miles west of Luoyang City, sorting out the military formations, waiting for supplies, and then launching an attack on Luoyang. The Dahua regime is not Li Mi's Wagang Army. It has a complete military and government system. Regardless of the call of talents, the number of generals, weapons and equipment, etc., he will all have an advantage. How to fight against it, please decide."
When Wang Shichong heard this, his face was a little gloomy. He still needed 150,000 troops. Logically, defense should be possible, but he had no good idea to defeat the Dahua army.
He heard that Li Jing was a man who knew military tactics very well. In the Sui Dynasty, he was just a ninth rank official. Later, he became a county magistrate and performed very little in the army. Because he hooked up with two maids from Yang Su's mansion, he fled far away from the Turks and the Western Regions. He was exerted by Luo Zhaoyun and made great contributions in the northwest.
Wang Shichong pondered: "I heard that Li Jing is very powerful in his military use. We should not be careless. It will be difficult to deal with Li Mi's tricks on Li Jing. You should avoid his edge, hold back the Dahua army, and then wait for the troops of other princes to come to support, encircle Dahua's retreat, and then defeat him. This is the safest way."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Duan Da flattered.
"Your Majesty has a great opinion. If you can hold Dahua down, wait for your work, join forces with other armies to encircle and annihilate Dahua, that would be the best plan." Guo Wenyi echoed.
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise!" Some civil officials of the court kept echoing and flattering in their words.
Wang Shichong used to love hearing such compliments, but now the enemy is in front of him, and he has no intention. He reaches out and stops and says, "Okay, let's discuss how to defend. The outer city is guarded by King Wei, Wang Honglie of King Wei, and the two camps outside the city are guarded by King Jing, King Xingben of King Song, and King Su of King Song, and the Hanjia City are guarded by King Qi, King Shihui of Prince Xuanying, and King Han Xuanshu of King Han. The other generals have their own allocations, and they will stand by and fight against the Dahua army at any time!"
"Abide by the order--" The ministers stood up and received the order.
Wang Shichong said again: "This time, I will also participate in it myself, go to various cities and barracks to inspect from time to time, and go to command the army wherever there is a need, and deal with Li Jing. As long as we use Luoyang City as a barrier, it will not be so easy for Li Jing's army to cross this iron wall. When a certain amount of military force is consumed, the Xia, Chu, Liang, Tang and other vacancies will definitely not stand by. After all, their lips are lost and their teeth are cold, and they also understand this principle."
"Your Majesty is wise!" all the ministers shouted.
After the scattered court, Duan Da and Yuan Wen both winked, and then made an appointment to get together in the courtyard of the former mansion in the afternoon.
At the same time, Huangfu Wuyi, Lu Chu, and the former Qigui of Luoyang, are coming. Now the four of them are gathered together to conspire to discuss matters.
Yuan Wendu said first: "The situation is very clear now. Dahua is the regime that can unify the world in the future. We accompany Wang Shichong to destroy it here. It is not worth it. If we take any measures, we should cooperate with the inside and outside, and make contributions in this way. If we surrender to Dahua in the future, we can also make great contributions and continue to gain a foothold in the new dynasty. Otherwise, we will not be core members in the past and will be marginalized in the future."
Lu Chu said: "This is the reason, but now we cannot access military power, and even General Huangfu has been restricted. We cannot launch a mutiny or control the palace, and we cannot cooperate inside and outside to break through the city gate. Therefore, we need to find other ways."
Duan Da analyzed: "We can contact other military generals, Dugu Wudu, Hu Ben Lang General Wang Bian, and Yang Wei. These people can fight for it. As long as two people agree, control the power of the city gate, and send someone to notify the Dahua army outside the city. At that time, the time will be agreed upon, and the inside and outside will be combined. Once the city gate is broken, you will be sure."
Huangfu Wuyi said calmly: "Now there are outer camps, and two major military camps need to echo the outer camps, forming defense areas, trenches, wooden railings, trenches, roadblocks, etc., and the scouts and rattles are constantly patrolling, sending out messages is too dangerous. We must wait for the Dahua army to advance, clear the outer camps, approach the outer camps, and even attack the outer camps, and even attack the outer camps, and approach the main city of Luoyang, so we have a chance."
Duan Da said: "Okay, we will come up with more bad ideas in the near future and less important things to remind this thief, so that the Zheng army will be defeated faster, so that we will be relieved one day earlier."
Yuan Wendu said: "It makes sense. Now the four of us are no longer the opposition in the past when the court fought for power, but formed allies. Even if we successfully invest in Dahua, we must join forces to squeeze into the core of the temple. We are already a few steps behind others. I heard that some of the former depressed Gao Shilian, Changsun Shunde and others have all become high-ranking officials, and we will support each other at that time."
"That's what it should be!" The other three nodded. There was no eternal enemy. They used to fight each other openly and secretly, all of which were disputes of interests. Now that interests are tied together, they have become strategic close friends.
Just as they were discussing, a figure lurked beside the corridor in the corner of the other courtyard where the guards did not pay attention. He was in his thirties, with a national face and a short beard. This person was not a spy or an assassin, but the son-in-law of Duan Da, and Zhang Zhi, the son-in-law of Duan Da.
Although his name has ambition, he has no ambitions. However, his family has declined. By the time his ancestors have lost their brides, he has already lost his appearance. He is good-looking and is favored by Duan Da's daughter and married into the house. However, Duan Da's daughter is willful and willful. He often scolds him casually. He often scolds him in a bad manner. He also learned that he has a brothel and sent someone to beat him to death, which makes Zhang Zhi hold a grudge. He has not had a great official position outside and has to suffer at home. He has long been resentful to the father and daughter of the Duan family. When he heard these people conspiring here, his eyes flashed and a sneer was on the corner of his mouth.
