Pang Yu and Huo Shiju were also shocked when they heard that Changsun Heng'an, the son of Changsun Sheng, announced his family status. Not everyone was as ignorant as Wan He. Changsun Sheng's reputation could be said to be the highest among the generals of the Sui Dynasty. Everyone knew that Changsun Heng'an was the son of Changsun Sheng. Only then did they fully believe that Wagang Village had really been breached.
Wan He suddenly realized that the credibility of what he said seemed not to be as high as Changsun Heng'an's name. This made Wan He lose his face again. He coughed lightly and hummed with a dark face: " So what are your plans?"
When Wan He said this, Pang Yu and Huo Shiju realized what they were doing. They looked at each other. Now Chang'an has been captured by Li Yuan, and Hongnong and Shangluo have also fallen one after another. It is impossible for them to go back. Their previous The plan was to take a road from Luoyang to Wagang Village to quell the rebellion. Of course, the Wagang army was large in number. They knew that it was impossible to break through Wagang Village with only ten thousand people. Fortunately, they had heard that Jiangdu Prime Minister Shichong had also led the army. When the troops set off, they will just follow Wang Shichong to put down the rebellion. After Wagang Village is pacified, they will go to Jiangdu to receive the reward.
But now that Wagang Village is gone and there is no way out, could it be that Cheng Cheng goes to Jiangdu to face the Holy Spirit empty-handed? With the temper of the Holy Spirit, if they go to Jiangdu with nothing to gain, they will definitely not be able to escape the punishment, and they may even lose their heads. It's all gone, and now the two of them are really in a dilemma.
When Li Jing saw it, he quickly stepped forward with a smile and said to Pang Yu and Huo Shiju: "Haha, two generals, this is not the place to talk. Why don't you ask the two generals to go to the city to rest and come back tomorrow to discuss things," he said Then, Li Jing quietly winked at Wan He again, signaling Wan He not to push too hard, otherwise, it would easily be counterproductive. Seeing Li Jing's look, Wan He understood what he meant and snorted coldly. , he stopped talking, turned his horse's head and walked towards the city.
Under the guidance of Li Jing and Qin Qiong, Pang Yu and Huo Shiju also followed into the city with embarrassed faces. As for the ten thousand soldiers and horses, there were naturally people taking care of them. At the same time, among the people watching at the gate of the city, a figure appeared. It flashed through the crowd, but the people around him didn't react at all. Only Li Jing and Pei Xingyan, who were not far behind Wan He, looked back at the same time, but they didn't see anything, so they could only continue. On his way.
Half an hour later, in the backyard of the Yue Prince's Mansion in the city, a man in black was kneeling behind the Yue King Yang Tong. He lowered his voice and carefully relayed to Yang Tong the scene that had just happened at the gate of the city. Yang Tong was now. It was a time of growth and development. He was much taller than during the Battle of Luoyang, and hairs similar to beards had begun to grow on his lips. After listening to the man in black, Yang Tong immediately turned around. , shouted with shining eyes: "Seriously, Wan He really had such a dispute with Pang Yu and Huo Shiju,"
"Reporting to Your Highness, everything I said is true," the man in black replied firmly, still half-kneeling with his head lowered.
"Okay, okay," Yang Tong was overjoyed after receiving the affirmative answer. He clapped his hands and shouted several times. He also walked back and forth in the backyard several times, and finally nodded and ordered the man in black: "You After getting this good news, I will be rewarded heavily. After I go down and receive the reward, I will continue to monitor it. If there is any abnormality, I will report it immediately."
After the man in black retreated, Yang Tong turned his head again and shouted to Hao Fei who was beside him: "Hao Fei, this Wan He actually had a dispute with Pang Yu and Huo Shiju. I see, this But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we should take advantage of it,"
Hao Fei frowned, raised his head and clasped his fists at Yang Tong and said: "Your Highness, I believe that we should not act rashly now, otherwise, Wan He will only be caught, and when the time comes, I am afraid that he will be detrimental to you, Your Highness. ah,"
"It's not good, he dares," Yang Tong turned his head fiercely, his eyes widened, and his originally handsome face became ferocious. The folding fan he originally held in his hand was broken by him. Yang Tong's face was gloomy. , shouted angrily: "This world still belongs to my Yang family, and Wan He is just a minister of my Yang family. No matter how courageous he is, how dare he dare to rebel?"
It has to be said that during this period of time, Yang Tong has been driven crazy by Wan He. Originally, Yang Tong became the grandson of the supervising emperor, and the important officials in the court were also vying to join him. However, he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, he would be the one he relied on the most. Yang Tong's arms betrayed him, and his most important adviser was thrown into prison. Then, the courtiers who usually flattered him hid away one by one. Yang Tong seemed to have returned to the trembling person he was before overnight. The idle prince was walking on thin ice and had no power. He could accept all this at first, but he had just enjoyed the benefits of power and asked Yang Tong to accept this nothing. This contrast was tantamount to killing Yang Tong.
Especially in the past few months, all the soldiers and horses who came to Luoyang's aid have been taken away by Wan He. Seeing that Wan He's strength is getting stronger and stronger, in comparison, he, the grandson of the supervisor of the country, has already It has become a decoration, and even the daily morning memorials will be sent directly to Liang Guogong's mansion. As for him, the king of Yue, he has been ignored for a long time.
Anyone who can hold important positions in the court is not a fool. Yang Tong was able to ascend the throne entirely because of Wan He. It was Wan He who defeated Qi King Yang Jian in a fight, making Yang Tong the biggest heir to the throne. Candidate, when Wan He was able to overthrow a King of Qi, now he can naturally overthrow a King of Yue. Especially after the Battle of Luoyang, all the military power in the city returned to Wan He, and even the private armies of those aristocratic families were defeated. Everything was in ruins. In Luoyang City, Wanhe's family was already the dominant one. Naturally, these courtiers knew who to flatter.
And it is this difference and change that has tortured Yang Tong so much in the past few months. Now Yang Tong can't wait to immediately cut his former close friend into pieces and take away the power he finally obtained. , take it back again.
Seeing Yang Tong's almost crazy expression, Hao Fei's face was full of worry. After much hesitation, he stepped forward to persuade Yang Tong: "Your Highness, it is too dangerous for us to act now. Wan He's men are now There are already more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there are also fierce generals such as Li Jing to assist. Pang Yu and Huo Shiju alone are no match for Wan He. It is better to endure it for the time being. Wan He can have such great power, all from the Holy One. As long as His Majesty comes back from Jiangdu, the power in Wan He's hands will naturally be taken back by His Majesty. At that time, it will be easy for His Highness to deal with Wan He."
"No," Yang Tong rejected Hao Fei's suggestion without even thinking about it. Yang Tong couldn't wait that long anymore. He wanted to get rid of Wan He immediately. Yang Tong's eyes flashed. Looking at the cold light, he said in a deep voice: "Pang Yu and Huo Shiju are indeed a little weak, but at least they can temporarily contain Wan He. According to the intelligence, the emperor's grandfather has sent Jiangdu Cheng Wang Shichong. The Jianghuai soldiers under Wang Shichong are One of the four most powerful soldiers in the world, with a large number. If you get his help and cooperate inside and outside, you will definitely be able to get rid of Wan He. Hao Fei, I want you to leave Luoyang quietly now, contact Wang Shichong, and tell him that as long as He can help me get rid of Wan He, and I agree to all the conditions he proposes,"
"Your Highness," Hao Fei couldn't help but be shocked after hearing Yang Tong's method. This Wan He was certainly hateful, but how could Wang Shichong be such an easy person? Now that Yang Tong has made such a promise to Wang Shichong, he knows that he will not lose it when the time comes. ah.
Hao Fei wanted to continue to persuade Yang Tong, but Yang Tong turned a deaf ear. In desperation, Hao Fei could only follow Yang Tong's order. Before leaving, he took one last look at Yang Tong's back. I sighed secretly in my heart, hoping that Yang Tong would not regret this decision in the future.
Hao Fei can serve as the guard commander around Yang Tong, so he is naturally a master. Hao Fei also knows a lot of tricks. Being sent by Yang Tong to contact Wang Shichong, Hao Fei does not need too much preparation. He just simplifies it for himself. He dressed up like a farmer and sneaked out from the back door of the palace, followed by the crowds on the street. After walking around the city for a few times, they finally got mixed up with a group of people. Just like that, he left Luoyang City.
Hao Fei thought that everything he had done could be hidden from everyone, but he did not expect that in the time it took him to burn incense, the information about his departure from Luoyang had already been placed on Wan He's study desk.
After reading this information, Wan He raised his eyebrows, raised his head and looked at everyone, and asked: "How is it? What do you think it should be?"
In the study, besides Wan He, there were six people sitting. The three sitting on the left were all dressed as civil servants. They were Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and Liu Wenjing, Wan He’s think tank. Sitting on Wan He’s side were Those on He's right were all dressed as military commanders, namely Li Jing, Qin Qiong and Changsun Hengan. As for Cheng Yaojin and Pei Xingyan, it's not that they were not qualified to enter Wanhe's core, but they were better at making suggestions than making suggestions. Still rushing to kill on the battlefield.
Li Jing and others had also read the information. After hearing Wan He's question, Li Jing immediately said: "In my opinion, the King of Yue sent his most trusted cronies to the city at this time, and he must have a plan, and The King of Yue has no one else to plot against except the Duke of the State, but what is his purpose in sending Hao Fei out of the city?"
Although Yang Gongqing's spies had followed Hao Fei before, the information everyone got now was just the information that Hao Fei had just left Luoyang. As for what Hao Fei left Luoyang for, everyone still knew nothing. You know, so it is difficult for Li Jing to make reasonable judgments in the absence of information.
