Chapter 56: Recovering Luoyang and Obtaining the East Capital
It is said that when Yang Guang wanted to move to Luoyang alive, he brought hundreds of boxes of treasures from the Chang'an Palace to Luoyang. Later, when he ran away, he took away 70 to 80% of them, and left a lot behind in the Luoyang Palace.
.
When Wang Shichong came to power, he took out these treasures left in the Luoyang Palace and turned them into military supplies. Despite this, there were still many rare treasures left behind.
Xue Deyin's goals are these things.
He took refuge with Wang Shichong earlier, and he performed very well when Wang Shichong became emperor, so he became an important literary minister under Wang Shichong. All military letters and feathers were written by Xue Deyin. Therefore, he still has some understanding of the Luoyang Palace.
Naturally, I also know where the remaining treasures are.
He was sure that there was no one in the world who didn't love Baobao, and the same should be true for the infamous Li Yuanji.
In this turbulent and desperate situation, not many people paid attention to Xue Deyin's movements. Those who had a way out, such as Dugu Wudu, Duguji, Wei Ji, Wei Jin and others, were all waiting to pledge their allegiance to the Tang Dynasty. No
Those who are desperate are either thinking about finding a way out or trying to escape. Those who are giving up on themselves are probably hiding under the quilt and sobbing.
Dugu Mansion, Luoyang.
"Li Yuan won." Duguji said.
Dugu Wudu hummed: "It wasn't Li Yuan who won, it was the Guanlong family who won, it was Li Shimin who won. This time Li Zitong and Du Fuwei all lost to Li Shimin, which shows that the general trend is in the Tang Dynasty."
Although he was unhappy with Li Yuan's actions of suppressing the family leader, he had to bow his head when he was about to be under the roof.
Duguji sighed: "Li Shimin is great, and that Li Zhiyun is not simple either. He surrounded Luoyang for nearly four months, but not a single gap was exposed. I heard that the Zheng Army officers and soldiers who tried to break out of the encirclement would most likely die in the hands of Li Zhiyun."
This person besieged Luoyang without attacking, and saw Li Shimin making great achievements without moving. This kind of determination is really rare.
For Li Yuan to have three sons, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Zhiyun, he is truly a blessing that he cultivated in his previous life."
Dugu Wudu was silent and said with emotion: "Although Li Yuan was unkind and burned bridges, his sons were indeed outstanding. Li Jiancheng was in charge, Li Shimin, and Li Zhiyun were in charge of the army. They cooperated internally and externally, and there was no rival in the world.
Not to mention, with the support of our Guanlong family, he really deserves to win the world."
"But, he also suppressed our Dugu family." Duguji said.
Dugu Wudu pursed his lips and said with a stern look: "Don't worry, wait until we get back to Chang'an and ask the family master what his plan is."
"That's fine." Duguji nodded and immediately asked: "Liu Xiaoyuan, are you ready?"
"It has been prepared for a long time. He is the commander-in-chief of the infantry. Now Luoyang is short of soldiers. It is natural for him to guard the city gate."
"That's good, everything is ready now, all that's left is the finishing touch."
Liu Xiaoyuan is their only manpower in Zheng's army. Take it out now, no sooner or later, to make the final decision.
Wei Mansion.
Wei Jin grimaced and said, "We can't intervene in the military, and there's no point in the government intervening now."
Wang Shichong had fallen ill on his bed because of the defeats of Li Zitong and Du Fuwei. The Luoyang court had not been in session for a long time and had basically become an empty frame. After all, everyone now knows that Zheng Guo will be finished soon and will not be able to go to the imperial court.
How meaningful is it to go to court?
Wei Ji muttered: "It doesn't matter, I have people secretly spread rumors among the people of Luoyang. We can still do this. As for the military, just give up if you have no choice. Now the advantage lies with the Tang Dynasty. We can do whatever we do."
win."
Wei Jin nodded.
Wei Ji said: "Now Wang Shichong is about to be defeated. According to Li Yuan's character, once the Wang family is captured, they will either die or be disabled."
"You want to keep the Wang family?" Wei Jin looked strange.
Wei Ji shook his head, "I don't care what happens to the Wang family. What I'm thinking about now is whether I can keep Bodhi. You also know that back then, Li Min followed Li Zixiong in rebellion and failed. Although Guiniang was not affected, her daily gossip was.
That's true. This time, Wang Shichong and Li Yuan are against each other. Once Bodhi is captured, I'm afraid it will be even harder than Guiniang's life."
Thinking of his niece, Wei Jin pursed his lips, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Perhaps, when the city is destroyed, we can ask Si Qi to plead with the King of Chu. If the King of Chu can come forward and take away Bodhi, Li Shimin will not pursue it."
Wei Ji thought for a while and said, "It should be possible. Since King Chu has married Gui Niang, he is my Wei family's son-in-law. He shouldn't refuse this request. What's more, Bodhi is Si Qi's eldest sister."
No matter what, he was the one who pushed Wei Puti into the fire pit and married Wang Xuanying. Now that he had the chance to help, he naturally didn't want to see Wei Puti die.
Tang army camp.
According to Li Shimin's request, Li Zhiyun was responsible for attacking the east city of Luoyang. He had already dispatched Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and other powerful generals to attack the city in turn.
This time the whole army attacks, there is no need to save any force, because Wang Shichong has reached the end of his rope, and it is a good time to defeat him.
Throughout the morning, Qin Qiong led the troops to attack Dongcheng, but failed to defeat him, which made him so angry that he could not eat.
When he returned to the main tent, he happened to see Yuchi Gong taking the token from Li Zhiyun. When Yuchi Gong saw Qin Qiong coming back, he said proudly to Qin Qiong: "Qin Shubao, let's see how I can break the city!"
"Just don't get beaten to pieces." Cheng Yaojin scolded him.
Wen Wu was first, Wu Wu was second. Although Yu Chigong lost to Qin Qiong several times, he had been secretly competing with Qin Qiong.
He and Cheng Yaojin were not in a competitive relationship, but they had bad mouths. He hated Cheng Yaojin's bad mouth the most. If Cheng Yaojin could defeat him like Qin Qiong, he would not say any more nonsense, but Cheng Yaojin
If you can't beat him, you still have to be tough, which makes him very unhappy.
"Mr. Cheng, show me how I conquered Luoyang. I'm not you, I only know how to talk." Yuchi said a few words to him and ran away.
There is no way, Cheng Yaojin can't beat him, but he can beat him with his bad mouth.
As Yuchi Gong left, Qin Qiong cupped his fists and apologized to Li Zhiyun, "The general is incompetent and failed to attack Luoyang, which disappoints His Highness."
"Shu Bao, don't think too much. Luoyang is tall and strong. It's natural that it can't be breached for a while. There is no progress on our side, and there is no progress on the side of King Qin, King Qi and others. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, sit down.
"Li Zhiyun said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Qin Qiong sat down and the soldiers brought food to him.
Cheng Yaojin hummed and said, "I want to see if Yu Chigong can be defeated. If not, let's see how I deal with him."
Qin Qiong glared at him, "Stop talking, it's not embarrassing enough."
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun smiled slightly.
It is normal for the soldiers under his command to quarrel. Xie Shufang would sometimes quarrel with Duan Zhixuan, but there was still emotion.
At this time, Wei Siqi suddenly walked out of the queue and bowed to Li Zhiyun.
"Siqi, what are you doing?" Li Zhiyun looked at him puzzled.
Because Wei Gui is now his second wife, he also treats Wei Siqi more seriously.
"Your Highness, I have an unkind request. Please accept it."
"Let's talk about it." Li Zhiyun did not agree immediately. His current status cannot be promised to others casually. Moreover, everyone in the office knew about his marriage to Wei Gui. If he was too kind to Wei Siqi, it would inevitably lead to people's dissatisfaction.
Dissatisfied.
Wei Siqi said cautiously: "Your Highness must know that my eldest sister is Wang Xuanying's wife."
After saying this, Li Zhiyun immediately understood.
"You want me to protect her?"
"Yes." Wei Si united and said, "I know that the Wang family deserves death, so I shouldn't have asked His Highness for mercy. However, after you left, you left a legacy, asking us brothers and sisters to support each other.
This subordinate is risking his own life, please help me, Your Highness."
Although the King of Chu has taken great care of Wei Gui since he married him, he has served under the King of Chu for so long, so he naturally knows that the King of Chu does not like favoritism and hates nepotism, so he does not dare to be careless, but
