The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 129 Xiaoguo Army

Yecheng, Shenwu Palace!

In the majestic, tall and majestic Chaotian Palace, when Pei Shiqing, Minister of Rites of the Southern Sui Dynasty arrived, he was immediately brought into the power center of the Northern Sui Dynasty.

Dressed in a gorgeous royal robe, the handsome and majestic Yang Tong sits on the throne, and all the civil and military personnel are in their respective positions.

Following Pei Shiqing's arrival, all the generals glared at him, even Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling and the others looked at him teasingly.

Everyone is not aiming at Pei Shiqing, but at the "imperial decree" in his hand.

In the eyes of everyone, it is absolutely ridiculous and insulting that Yang Tan, who is mediocre, inactive, and stealing the throne of the emperor, actually wants to confer the title of Yang Tong.

How ridiculous is it that you, a false emperor, canonize the successor of the Sui Dynasty who was canonized by the late emperor on his deathbed?What's even more ridiculous is that this false emperor doesn't even have the strength to pacify the interior.What qualifications does such a person have to be named his own king?

"Your Majesty, see His Royal Highness King Qin and King Tang!" Pei Shiqing, with a slender appearance and a bit of a sense of immortality, saluted Yang Tong and Yang You earnestly.

"Mr. Pei, you don't need to be too polite." Yang Tong held his right hand up.

Pei Shiqing smiled wryly in his heart, and called him "Mr. Pei", indicating that Yang Tong did not recognize Yang Tan's canonized "Book of Rites" and that Yang Tan, the Great Sui Emperor, was not recognized.Just as he was about to speak, Yang Tong stopped him first and said, "You don't need to read the so-called canonization!"

"This..." Yang Tong's reaction was expected by Pei Shiqing, but he was entrusted by the emperor to be loyal to the emperor.

"There are many emperors in this world, but everyone's so-called 'imperial decree' can't go out of their own territory! Brother Yan's imperial decree probably can't get out of Luoyang either!" Yang Tong paused, and said: "My third brother and I Considering the brotherhood, I don't want the Yang family to cause scandals and jokes, so I don't say anything about Brother Yan's act of proclaiming the emperor without authorization. Give us orders! You don’t have to be embarrassed, sir, just tell us the truth.”

Pei Shiqing sighed, and simply handed over the imperial decree to the servant beside him, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, may we talk in private?"

"Okay!" Yang Tong took him to the side hall.

After the two sat down, Yang Tong signaled Pei Shiqing to speak.

Pei Shiqing murmured: "The lower official was ordered to come here for two main reasons. One is to pass on the imperial jade seal..."

"Daydreaming!" Yang Tong sneered.

The corners of Pei Shiqing's mouth twitched. It's hard to continue talking. After thinking about it, he took out Yang Tan's autographed letter from his bosom, and presented it to Yang Tong with both hands, "This is a letter from His Majesty to His Highness, Your Highness, please read it first."

Yang Tong opened it and looked it over, frowning slightly, Yu Wenhuaji defeated the Wagang Army, even Zhai Rang was killed in battle.

The letter was very detailed.

Yu Wenhua and Xuzhou Shi robbed [-] ox carts from the people, put court ladies and jewels on the carts, and asked the soldiers to carry their own weapons and armor.The result naturally caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers.So, Sima Dekan wanted to kill Yu Wenhuaji, but in the end the matter was revealed, and Yu Wenhuaji took care of it instead.It stands to reason that such an army with low morale and internal strife does not have the conditions for harmony, and its combat power will definitely decline.To make matters worse, this king-killing Xiaoguo army was still short of food.

Comparing the commanders of the two sides, Yu Wenhuaji is a dude who lacks strategy, while Li Mi, the second leader of the Wagang Army, is a typical academic bully.Moreover, Li Mi knew Yuwenhua and Shaoliang, so he planned to avoid their edge and adopt the method of siege.

In this battle that determined success or failure, the Wagang Army basically used all available tactics. Every time Yu Wenhuaji attacked the camp, Li Mi led troops to rescue him.Li Mi's fighting style made Yu Wenhuaji dizzy, and his subordinate Yu Hongda was stewed to death.

What's even more amazing is that Li Mi wrote a letter to Yu Wenhuaji, saying that the Wagang Army would surrender and contribute food, and Yu Wenhuaji actually believed it.This SB loosened food control, and as a result, the small amount of food was quickly exhausted.It was too late when it was discovered that the food was exhausted.Yu Wenhuaji had no choice but to fight with his back in the end, and fought Li Mi in Xiao County, Pengcheng.It can be said that the army headed by Yu Wenhuaji did not take advantage of the "time, place, and harmony".

However, in the Battle of Xiao County, the Wagang Army, which took advantage of the right time, place, people and numbers, and had all its generals, was defeated by the Xiaoguo Army.

Li Mi's self-satisfied internal army of "these 8000 people can be a million" was beaten to annihilation, and even Zhai Rang died in the war, and Li Mi was also injured by arrows and was almost captured alive.
In short, in the battle of Xiao County, the Wagang Army was beaten as badly as possible.If it weren't for this Xiaoguo army that was too hungry to move, the so-called leader of the Central Plains would probably have been replaced by Yu Wenhuaji.

"When did the Battle of Xiao County happen?" Yang Tong was a little bit dumbfounded.

Under the circumstances of incompetent coach, internal strife, low morale, and hungry stomach, he faced the Wagang Army with many soldiers, experienced in many battles, and had already built fortifications.This army can still show such terrifying strength, making the opponent cry directly in the face-to-face attack.In the end, the Wagang Army was not defeated by the enemy's hunger.

It can be seen from this that although the Wagang Army is vigorous and vigorous in the Central Plains, the combat power of the army is actually still at the level of a year or two ago.He didn't know whether to say that Li Mi was incompetent, or whether he should make the Xiaoguo army stronger.

However, he believed that if the three armies of Raging Waves, Raging Waves, and Tsunami were to face head-to-head with Yu Wenhua and the Xiaoguo Army on the same conditions, it would definitely be his direct lineal army that would win!
Pei Shiqing said: "Return to Your Highness, this happened five days ago! As soon as the news came, the Holy Majesty ordered me to come to see Your Highness immediately."

Yang Tong continued to read the letter, Yang Tan wanted to cooperate with the Bei Sui Dynasty, and hoped that Yang Tong would send an army to attack Kuayu Culture and avenge Yang Guang.But I don’t even say how to pass through the territory of Wagang, Dou Jiande, Wang Bo and others. According to this literal understanding, it is natural for the Northern Sui Dynasty led by myself to break through.There is no mention of how money and food will be supplied, let alone how to coordinate operations, and of course there is no mention of the distribution after the victory.

"Brother Yan Wang, what are you planning to confer on me and my third brother?" Yang Tong finally realized that all of this is based on canonization.

"Confer your Highness the King of Hebei, and the King of Tang as the King of Guanzhong!" Pei Shiqing said.

Yang Tong understands, understands!First seal the foundation that you have made to yourself, and the king of Guanzhong needs Yang You to fight by himself.

With two insincere king names, he sent himself to work hard, to die, and even cheated himself behind his back.

Very smart, very wise!

Yang Tong didn't even bother to worry about it anymore, and asked, "Do you know the contents of the letter?"

Pei Shiqing shook his head: "But I don't know."

"Please take a look!" Yang Tong handed it over directly.

Pei Shiqing browsed quickly, and then he also looked shocked, weird, and incredible...
