The spring breeze in February turned the willow trees beside the canal green, but it was unable to clear the blocked canal. Since Yang Guang had been stranded in Jiangdu for nearly three years, the country was also in chaos, so the canal was naturally blocked.

People have been dredging, and many sections of the river have been blocked by silt, making it impossible for boats to sail.

Therefore, after Yu Wenhuaji arrived in Xuzhou, he had no choice but to abandon the ship and go ashore and take the land route. However, when Yu Wenhuaji left Jiangdu, he brought with him a large amount of treasures and property, as well as thousands of Yang Guang's maids and concubines.

Without ships to carry it, it would be difficult to handle these huge amounts of treasure and the delicate palace maids and concubines, so Yu Wenhuaji sent Xiaoguo troops to plunder nearby prefectures and counties, robbed more than 2,000 ox carts, and carried the treasures and palace maids away.

They were all piled onto bullock carts and continued their mighty march northward, entering the territory of Qijun.

As the journey was long and the weather was getting hotter, Xiaoguo's army had to carry weapons, escort food and baggage, and take care of two thousand cartloads of women and treasures. They were so tired that they couldn't help complaining.

It is worth mentioning here that since Yu Wenhuaji became the prime minister, he became more and more complacent and put on airs. He gradually ignored Sima Dekan, who helped him rise to power, and even

He publicly humiliated Sima Dekan many times and prevented him from stepping down.

Sima Dekan was naturally furious and filled with hatred. When he saw the soldiers complaining, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Yu Wenhuaji and then become the boss himself.

Unfortunately, just when Sima Dekan was about to take action, he was informed by his comrade Pei Qian, so Yu Wenhuaji took the initiative and killed Sima Dekan first, killing the mutiny in time.

At this time, in front of the Chinese army's tent, Yu Wenhuaji was holding a wine glass, drinking and proudly admiring Sima Dekan's head. Sima Dekan's head was hanging on a bamboo pole, bloody and with angry eyes.

Open, it's very scary.

The puppet emperor Yang Hao looked pale and stood tremblingly behind Yu Wenhuaji, while the ministers gathered around the bamboo pole in silence.

Yu Wenhua and Huan glanced at everyone and felt extremely happy. They felt more comfortable than beating Yang Guang's beautiful concubines. They thought that they had shrunk like a quail in front of Yang Guang's seat.

Not atmospheric either

Dare to admit, things have changed now. Hey, even though I don’t have the title of emperor, I am better than the emperor. People who once had official positions above me can only bow their heads in front of me. How happy!

"This is the consequences of daring to plot evil!" Yu Wenhuaji pointed at Sima Dekan's head and said in a sad voice. After speaking, he looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on the puppet emperor Yang Hao.

Yang Hao was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "Prime Minister, this is none of my business. I don't know anything about it."

A trace of pride flashed across Yu Wenhuaji's face, and he helped Yang Hao up hypocritically and said: "The emperor is a man of ten thousand gold, how can he kneel down and worship the ministers? It's really embarrassing for the ministers, get up quickly!"

Yang Hao stood up with a frightened look and said sarcastically: "The Prime Minister has worked hard and achieved great results, so it doesn't matter if I kneel down and bow down, it doesn't matter!"

Yu Wenhuaji laughed, patted Yang Hao's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, I don't doubt you. Come, please send the Emperor down to rest!"

Two guards immediately came forward and said coldly: "Dacheng, please go down and rest."

Yang Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed the guards and left as if fleeing. Yu Wenhuaji looked at Yang Hao's back thoughtfully and thought to himself: "Why don't we just kill this waste and I will ascend the throne myself?"

Forget it, God."

However, Yu Wenhuaji thought about it and felt that he couldn't do this for the time being. The reason why the Xiaoguo Army supported him was precisely because he promised to take them back to Guanzhong. It was not appropriate to proclaim himself emperor at this time, not to mention that since he wanted to proclaim himself emperor, he had to have someone.

He only needs his own capital and territory, how can there be a displaced emperor?

Yu Wenhuaji made up his mind and decided to keep Yang Hao alive for the time being and wait until he returned to Dongdu to make plans. If he could capture Dongdu, he might as well proclaim himself emperor there.

Hey, I have to say that Yu Wenhuaji is as timid as a dog, but after gaining power, he is as fierce as a tiger. He even wanted to capture Dongdu in a whimsical way. He really doesn't treat Li Mi as a green onion. Li Mi surrounded Dongdu.

If they fail to win in half a year, what can they do about Yu Wenhua and He De?

But no matter what, Yu Wenji just dared to think and do it. He led the Xiaoguo Army to continue northward to the Yellow River without any fear. On this day, he arrived at the junction of Lu County and Qi County.

location.

At this time, Changle King Dou Jiande was leading his army to fight fiercely with Xu Yuanlang in Qi County for territory. After hearing the arrival of Yu Wenhuaji, Dou Jiande personally went to the vicinity of Yu Wenhuaji's camp and hid in the dark to observe carefully.

Dou Jiande's generals Gao Shixing and Gao Yaxian also came with them. They were overjoyed when they saw Yu Wenhuaji's team camping along the canal. The tents stretched for seven or eight miles, and there was no order.

Gao Shixing licked his lips and said excitedly: "Yu Wenhuaji is cowardly and incompetent. He doesn't know how to march and fight at all. He actually set up the camp like this. It's terrible. King Changle, why don't we take advantage of his hard work and come all the way to give him

A sudden attack will definitely lead to a complete victory."

Dou Jiande couldn't help being very moved after hearing this. It was rumored that Yu Wenhuaji had robbed a large amount of treasures and property in Jiangdu Palace. If he could grab it, he would make a lot of money.

"Song Nayan, what do you think of Ling Jijiu?" Dou Jiande turned around and asked.

Song Nayan is Song Zhengben, and Ling Jijiu is Ling Jing. They are now the chief advisers under Dou Jiande, and their opinions are very valued by Dou Jiande.

Song Zhengben stroked his beard and said, "Does King Changle want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Dou Jiande frowned and said, "Of course it's the truth. What's the point of listening to lies?"

Song Zhengben nodded and said: "The subordinate said bluntly that it is not appropriate to take action with Yu Wenhua at this time."

As soon as these words came out, Dou Jiande couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he still humbly asked: "Why?"

Song Zhengben analyzed: "Although Yu Wenhuaji is exhausted from the long journey, the 100,000 Xiaoguo Army are all elites under Yang Guang's command. They are well-equipped and have good combat power. We may not be able to get an advantage. Even if we can win, we may not be able to get an advantage."

It is also a tragic victory. If Xu Yuanlang comes to kill us at this time, we will definitely be unable to resist anymore. By then, I am afraid that you, King Changle, will steal the chicken but lose the rice and give it to others as wedding clothes."

Ling Jing also echoed: "Song Na's words are reasonable. Yu Wenhua is now very powerful. Not only can we not touch him, but we must also avoid his edge temporarily. Gao Changqing originally wanted to send troops to attack Li Mi, but now he is standing still in Gaoyang County. King Changle thinks this

Why?"

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Dou Jiande's eyes, and he said calmly: "That guy wants to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, and wait until Li Mi and Yu Wenhuaji fight to the death before taking action!"

Ling Jing smiled and said: "In that case, why is King Changle rushing to take action? As the saying goes, the one who is near the water gets the moon first. Gao Changqing tried to reap the benefits, but he didn't know that King Changle was much closer than him. Even if there was a profit, King Changle would be the first to reap it.

If you leave some soup for him sometimes, you will be considered kind and righteous, King Changle."

Dou Jiande laughed when he heard this and said: "That's right, I was too hasty. In this case, let Yu Wenhuaji live a few more days. By the way, I heard that the two boys Xu Shiji and Lu Sheng each led a team.

The Qi army is stationed in Zhao County and Hejian County respectively, and I don't know what the evil intentions are. This king's son-in-law is a monkey spirit, so he must send someone to keep a close eye on him, and don't let them play tricks.

"

Gao Yaxian smiled and said: "Don't worry, King Changle, we have already targeted them to death. Any troubles in the Qi army will not be hidden from our spies."

Dou Jiande nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's good. As long as Gao Changqing is honest and considers himself a son-in-law, it's not a bad idea to give him a sip of soup when the time comes. Just treat it as a gift to this king who is about to be born."

Let’s give it as a meeting gift to my grandson, hahaha!”

Dou Jiande smiled cheerfully and left quietly with the people.

Yu Wenhuaji didn't know that he had just escaped a disaster. Just like Yang Guang's concubine, he was drinking and having fun. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning the next day that the army continued to set off. After crossing the Yellow River, it headed west and entered Wuyang County, where Li Mi's power was

range.

In fact, Li Mi had been paying attention to Yu Wenhuaji's movements for a long time. How could he miss such a big fat sheep running into his territory? He immediately mobilized his troops and sharpened his knives to prepare to slaughter the sheep!
