Chapter 176 Do you want to be an enemy of this king?

Half a month after Yu Wen and usurped the throne in secret, the news that Yang Guang died of a rebellion spread throughout the Sui Dynasty.

Everyone was shocked!

As the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang died so cowardly?

You should know that in the current Sui Dynasty, due to the existence of Wang Chen, most of its territory has been strongly taken back by Wang Chen, and the Sui Dynasty has already shown signs of resurrection.

Even there were only a few anti-kings in the Great Sui territory, and they were all those anti-kings who had risen for less than three years and had average strength.

Now, as soon as Yang Guang died, Yang Guang's eldest son Yang You disappeared along with Empress Xiao, under the pursuit of Wang Shichong. Now Yang Gao has always claimed to be seriously ill, which has led to the fact that no one has been called emperor at the moment!

Countless forces sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight are ready to join the ranks of fighting for the world and compete for the jealous position!

Of course, some forces are just thinking about it, but many have already begun implementation plans.

...Tang Duke's Mansion...

At this time, outside the Duke of Tang’s Mansion was still as usual, and there was no change, but inside the Duke of Tang’s Mansion, there was a huge plan to seize the world!

Li Yuan still sat at the seat of the Duke of Tang, and at this time, the Duke of Tang Dynasty attracted many talented people and strangers.

Among them, several of them are Wang Chen's old acquaintances, such as Li Mi, King of the Western Wei Dynasty, Wang Bodang, one of the five tiger generals of Wagang, Wang Shichong's national teacher, and even Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao!

"I just received the news that Yang Guang had been forced to death by Yu Wenji in Yangzhou, and Yang Gao was seriously ill. Now, the Great Sui Dynasty is already without a leader, and there is a scattered sand!" Li Yuan said first.

"Hahaha, Father, this is really God's help to our Li family. This is a good opportunity for our Li family to compete for the world and to compete for the Central Plains!" Li Jiancheng stood up and said.

Li Yuan did not respond to Li Jiancheng, but instead looked back at the Tieguan Taoist.

"Master Tieguan, what do you think we should do next!?"

The Taoist Tieguan is a personal spirit. He first abandoned Wang Shichong and went to Western Qin. After seeing that Western Qin had no way to live, he immediately fled from the land of Western Qin and came to Taiyuan. On the way, he met Qin Qiong and his adopted son Qin Yong and Luo Shixin and the Taoist Tieguan used a brief trick to let the three of them follow him to Taiyuan.

As soon as the Taoist Tieguan entered Taiyuan, he saw the purple air above the Duke of Tang's mansion soaring into the sky, as if it were the substance. The Taoist Tieguan was overjoyed and immediately surrendered to Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang's mansion. After showing his skills casually, Li Yuan was shocked and immediately accepted as a guest of honor!

"I think we have to wait for a while!"

When everyone heard this, they were puzzled, because Yang Guang was dead and the world was in chaos. It was a good time to raise troops to seize the world!

Looking at everyone's doubts, the Iron Cannon Taoist could only explain helplessly.

"Everyone, first of all, Wang Chen is nominally Sui Chen, so he is likely to send troops to Yangzhou to find the cause of Yang Guang's death. Of course, the purpose is to take the crown prince Yang Gao into his hands. After all, Yang You is missing, Yang Gao is Yang Guang's only son!"

"Secondly, if we raise our troops to rebel now, Xue Rengui in the east, Wang Chen below, and even Luo Yi above will conquer us, and we will be completely in desperate situation at that time!"

"Again, we lack a reason, we need an absolute reason to occupy the world and plan the world!"

"In the end, Wang Chen will definitely face the aristocratic families in the south, as well as Yu Culture and the old fox, so we can first sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to gain the benefit of the fisherman!"

Everyone nodded when the Taoist Tieguan said this, especially Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. The eyes of the Taoist Tieguan were full of passion, but both were well concealed.

"Well, the Taoist priest is worthy of being the Taoist priest, and he has thought it thoroughly, but the Taoist priest has no need to worry at all. I have already had enough reasons and have enough chips to raise the banner of righteousness!"

Li Yuan looked at the Tieguan Taoist and said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned again, and Li Yuan looked at everyone's doubts and did not explain again.

"Everyone, you will know what I have done by then. I want to get a share of the pie in this world!" Li Yuan still did not hide his ambitions at all.

Since Li Yuan was beaten to the gate of the mansion by Wang Chen, Yuwen Chengdu, Luo Yi and others, and forced to cut off Li Yuanji's arm and cede land for compensation, Li Yuan knew that he must have absolute rights and power in order to truly control the world and to have the right to speak!

"Okay, everyone, let's go down and prepare for our army and food. The war is coming, and the storm is coming, and the great power is about to fall!"

"Yes, Duke Tang!" Everyone bowed and withdrew from the Duke Tang Mansion.

Only Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, as well as Pei Ji and Liu Renjing, and the Taoist Iron Cannon Taoist were kept by Li Yuan.

"How is the contact with the Turks in Jiancheng? If we want to raise an army, we still need the help of the Turks!" Li Yuan asked first.

Li Jiancheng first clasped his fists at Li Yuan, and then replied: "Qi Bian, the child has been in touch with the Turks, but the Turks said that they would face Wang Chen and they would need to add more money!" Li Jiancheng was a little helpless in the end.

Li Yuan was stunned at first, then his face looked a little gloomy, "This Turkic barbarian has also blackmailed me. Even if I don't have one, I don't believe that they will not go south anymore!"

The Taoist Tieguan heard that Li Yuan and his family contacted the Turks to seize the world, not only did he not feel displeased at all, but he agreed very much. After all, as long as he could seize the world, it was a good method, but he needed to control it.

"Tang Kingdom, I think, at worst, I can agree to them Turkic first!"

The Iron Crown Taoist said directly.

Li Yuan and others looked at Tieguan Taoist with inquisitive eyes.

The Taoist Tieguan had never seen any big scene before, and he smiled casually: "Tang State, let's give him gold and silver. After all, there is Wang Chen's army on the northern border, and it is probably less than 250,000. How could the Turks be so easy to invade? Maybe if both sides suffer losses, our Duke Tang State's mansion will be the benefit of the fisherman. At that time, not only Wang Chen will be defeated, but the Turks will also spit out the things they ate!"

Pei Ji and Liu Renjing looked at the Tieguan Taoist with a little bad look. They were both fine when they competed. Now, a Tieguan Taoist who took advantage of his credit again and again was simply inappropriate!

"Well, this statement makes sense!" Li Yuan thought about it. After Wang Chen's army and the Turks were both injured, wouldn't it be nice to come forward to find a bargain again?

"Father, the child also feels that we should give the Turks wealth and beauty, and tell the Turks directly that as long as we take down the Central Plains, our Li family is willing to share the world with him, the Turks!" Li Shimin stood up and said.

Everyone was stunned again, and the eyes of the Tieguan Taoist looking at Li Shimin became deeper and deeper.

"Hahaha! My son is still smart. Yes, giving them enough motivation to attack northern borders and Liaodong City without fear of death. At that time, not only can heal Wang Chen's northern army completely, but Luo Yi also has no time to take care of the Central Plains!" Li Yuan thought about it and understood what Li Shimin meant, and laughed.

"Father praised it!" Li Shimin humbly bowed.

Li Jiancheng's eyes looked at Li Shimin were also slightly meaningful. Pei Ji, who assisted the eldest son Li Jiancheng, sighed slightly when he saw the second son being so powerful.

"The Turks should satisfy them as much as possible and give them what they want. Anyway, we are not short of money and food now. Beauties prepare more to exchange for some war horses! We need war horses urgently now!" After Li Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Li Shimin and asked:

"Shimin, how many soldiers are there in our secret?"

Li Yuan seemed to be asking questions, but in fact he seemed to be asking Li Shimin to report the data.

"Father, we now have 180,000 infantry, 25,000 cavalry, and 150,000 logistics supplies! And there are also 100,000 generals, and several of them have very good martial arts skills, not bad for Wang Bodang, especially his benefactor Qin Qiong, who has the resources of the general. His righteous brother Luo Shixin has the power to be no less than the fourth brother, which is very good!"

Li Shimin clasped his fists at Li Yuan and said.

Li Yuan nodded as he heard this data, and was very satisfied with Qin Qiong. Not only was he very capable, but he also brought two people, Qin Yong's martial arts skills were extraordinary. As for Luo Shixin, the power of holding the tripod made Li Yuan stunned.

The Tieguan Taoist nodded with satisfaction. This army was already pretty good.

"Master, we have secretly controlled Guanzhong, and Chang'an City is already in my hands. In addition, other aristocratic families have also expressed their full support for me!"

Li Yuan looked at the Tieguan Taoist and smiled.

"As expected, when the old Taoist first came to Taiyuan City, he vaguely saw purple air soaring into the sky above the Duke of Tang's mansion, just like a substance, and there was a dragon flying between the eyebrows of Tang's country. He was a man of destiny!"

After the Taoist Tieguan said this, he bowed to Li Yuan, with admiration in his tone.

"Hahaha! Sir, I'll praise you! If I can help me seize the world first, then I can also support what I think!"

Li Yuan's eyes were extremely deep, which made the Tieguan Taoist unable to see through, so he could only bow again.

"That old man thanks lord for his kindness!"

Li Yuan discussed with everyone about the general trend of the world and the subsequent development for half an hour, and then left the hall alone and came to the backyard of the Duke of Tang's mansion.

At this time, in the backyard of the Duke of Tang's mansion, a woman with an extremely charming appearance was sitting on a wooden stool, wearing a coarse linen, and working as a loom made by an ordinary woman.

"Xiao Feng!" Li Yuan came to the woman and shouted directly, not only without respect, but also with a little ambiguousness.

This charming woman is Xiao Feng, the empress of the Sui Dynasty. After escaping from Luoyang City, she came to Taiyuan, Bingzhou for several months and moved into Li Yuan's Tang Duke's Mansion.

"Duke Tang is back! Come on, Duke Tang, this is the brocade robe I made for you, come and try it."

At this time, Empress Xiao did not have the majesty of being the mother of a country in the past. Instead, she looked more like an ordinary woman. She walked behind Li Yuan with a brocade robe embroidered with a dragon appearance and put on a brocade robe.

"Hahaha, Feng'er is intent!"

Li Yuan put on Queen Xiao's clothes and said with gentle eyes.

Although Xiao Hou was nearly forty years old, she was not old and had a bad look. She still looked charming, and Li Yuan also liked her tightly.

The main reason is that Empress Xiao has the temperament that other women don’t have, which makes Li Yuan even more fascinated!

"Feng'er, Yang Guang has passed away!" Li Yuan's eyes were no longer gentle, but instead became deeper, looking at Xiao Feng and said.

Xiao Hou was stunned at first, then just shook his head and smiled, "I have nothing to do with him anymore. At the beginning, he was devoted to the Concubine Zhu and Kang Min, so how could he have my status? Besides, even the prince, he established a concubine Yang Gao, not his legitimate son!"

Li Yuan also curled up his lips, and this is what Li Yuan wants to hear.

"Feng'er, I'm ready to raise the flag and set up my own business, but I need someone now!"

Queen Xiao was stunned. Of course, with Queen Xiao's intelligence, how could he not know what Li Yuan meant?

"Duke Tang, I don't ask for anything. I just hope that after Tang Kingdom uses up Yang You, I can let him have a way out in the future. After all, no matter what, it is my flesh and blood!" Xiao Hou said quietly.

"Hahaha! That's natural. Yang You is your son after all. I will let him go in the future and let him be a free marquis, and be rich and prosperous for the rest of his life!"

Li Yuan immediately agreed with a smile.

Li Yuan had only disdain for Yang You. A person who only knows how to eat, drink, play and enjoy, and is greedy for pleasure is simply no threat to him.

Of course, as for whether Yang You was pretending, what Li Yuan dared to be sure is impossible.

As Yang Guang's only legitimate son, why should he pretend to be a waste? Then Yang Guang felt disgusted and finally he lost his position as the crown prince.

"Then I would like to thank the great kindness of Tang State!" After listening to Li Yuan's promise, Empress Xiao immediately wanted to kneel down at Li Yuan.
