Wu Sangui stopped, turned around and looked at Fan Wencheng with a guilty conscience: "I don't know why Mr. Fan stopped Wu. Could it be that the Wolf Lord has already had private negotiations with Temujin and is preparing to divide Youzhou equally?"
Fan Wencheng smiled slightly and said: "No, no! It's just that Fan suddenly thought of a clever plan that could help the Wolf Lord capture Youzhou quickly, so he stopped the general."
Wu Sangui asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Sir, what's your clever plan? How does it have anything to do with my going to report on An Lushan and others?"
Fan Wencheng still smiled and said calmly: "If the general goes to report at this time, Luo Yi will definitely imprison An Lushan and others to cleanse their influence in the army. This will certainly make Temujin's bamboo basket come to nothing, but Isn’t this of great benefit to the Wolf Lord?”
"General, you might as well imagine that if the general waits until after the New Year, after the generals from various towns have returned to their bases. If the general goes to report to Luo Yi again, what will Luo Yi do?"
Wu Sangui said without hesitation: "An Lushan, Shi Jingtang and Shi Siming are all stationed in important areas bordering Temujin. If Luo Yi knew that they were consorting with Temujin, he would definitely mobilize heavy troops to quickly put down the rebellion and put these people down." Several chokepoints were seized and regained."
Fan Wencheng laughed and said: "By then, the Youzhou army will be held back by An Lushan and others and Temujin, and Youzhou will be empty inside. If the general suddenly opens Linyu Pass and lets the Wolf Lord enter, wouldn't the entire Youzhou be at his fingertips? !”
Wu Sangui's eyes lit up and he praised: "Mr. Fan really has a clever plan. It not only allows the Wolf Lord to seize Youzhou at a very small cost, but also allows Tiemu Vacuum to waste a lot of manpower and make him suffer."

Although it is the New Year, there is no trace of the New Year atmosphere in Luoyang, the eastern capital that used to be full of flowers. It's no wonder that Li and Tang's 150,000 troops were pressing down on the territory, and the people's natural fear of war caused the prices of goods in Luoyang to skyrocket. It cost a thousand dollars to fight, so how could ordinary people have spare money to spend the New Year?
On the desolate streets of Luoyang, a carriage drove slowly through the streets, with several guards on both sides of the carriage carefully guarding it.
After a long time, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and Changsun Wuji's thin but energetic face was revealed in the window.
The eldest grandson Anshi on the side was shocked when he saw this. He hurriedly pulled the car curtain down again and reprimanded eldest grandson Wuji with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Auxiliary machine, are you too bold? If anyone sees it, we will all die. Got it!"
Changsun Anshi is Changsun Wuji's direct cousin. When Yang Tong, the king of Yue, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he paid homage to the imperial eunuch.
Although Changsun Anshi is not as capable as Changsun Wuji, his vision is not bad either. When Lu Chu Yuan Wendu and others fought against Wang Shichong, he could see that Lu Chu Yuan Wendu and his gang of scholars were no match for the cunning and treacherous Wang Shichong. He sided with Wang Shichong early on and not only survived Wang Shichong's subsequent purges, but also He also has a certain status and power in Luoyang.
However, now that the situation in the world has become clearer, Wang Shichong, who is sitting in an isolated city, will never have a chance to conquer the world, so he has begun to find a way out for himself.
At this moment, Changsun Wuji, who came to Luoyang on Li Shimin's order, came to visit, and the two brothers hit it off. Changsun Wuji used Changsun Anshi's connections in Luoyang to create discord, and in return, Changsun Wuji would find a suitable position in Chang'an for Changsun Anshi.
In the carriage, Changsun Wuji saw the angry face of Changsun Anshi and smiled apologetically: "Brother, please calm down. I just felt that the carriage was moving all the way, but there was no sound from both sides, so I was curious for a moment!"
The eldest grandson Anshi shook his head helplessly: "Luoyang has gone through many wars and is no longer what it used to be. After Wang Shichong took over the power of Luoyang, he gave priority to the army in everything, regardless of the life and death of the people. Now the population of Luoyang is not even 200,000. arrive,"
"I didn't expect that the imperial capital with a population of millions in the past would be so harmed by Wang Shichong."
Changsun Wuji sighed, changed the topic, and asked eldest sun An Shidao: "Brother, how do you feel about the thing I asked you to do for me?"
The eldest grandson Anshi nodded calmly: "It seems that His Highness the King of Qin's analysis is correct. Today I am reporting to Wang Xuanying that Li Cunxu and Song Jingang have withdrawn to Hedong. You can ask the Sui army to leave Luoyang, or go to Hongnong to support Wang Shichong, or Go and station yourself near Mengjin Ferry, and be careful not to let the Tang army attack Luoyang next time."
"Wang Xuanying felt that what I said made sense, so he personally took people to negotiate with Meng Gong, but he was flatly rejected by Meng Gong. It seems that the Sui army did intend to bring Luoyang under its rule this time. They did not take action now because they were worried that Wang Shichong's main force was still there. , as long as His Highness King Qin defeats Wang Shichong, they will turn against him without hesitation!"
Changsun Wuji smiled slightly and said: "This is good news for us. Although Wang Xuanying is a fool, if he still can't see through the Sui Jun's intentions, then he is not worthy of being Wang Shichong's son!"
The eldest grandson Anshi nodded and said: "Isn't it true? After coming out of Meng Gong's military camp, Wang Xuanying was so angry that his face turned green. He cursed Yang Gao along the way. If the Wang family hadn't stayed in Luoyang, where would he have had so much time? Consolidate the Central Plains. Now that the Central Plains has settled down, we are ready to kill the donkeys and deny them a way to survive for the Wang family."
"In that case, it seems that my mission this time will be much easier."
Changsun Wuji laughed and asked: "How is the strength of the two sides in Luoyang City now? If there is a real fight, what is the chance of Wang Xuanying winning?"
Changsun Anshi shook his head and said: "I advise you not to have too much confidence in Wang Xuanying. Among the eight gates in Waiguo City, they are Changxia Gate, Jianguo Gate, Baihu Gate, Yongtong Gate, Shangchun Gate, Xining Gate is all controlled by the Sui army, and Hanjiacang City and Dongcheng have also fallen into the hands of the Sui army."
"What?"
Changsun Wuji's eyes suddenly widened: "Don't Meng Gong only have fifteen thousand people under his command? How can he control so many places? Is Wang Xuan supposed to have a pig brain?"
The eldest grandson An Shi smiled bitterly: "These people in Luoyang City are all human beings. How could they be stupid enough to work for Wang Shichong now? The places that Wang Xuanying can control now are basically controlled by the Wang family's descendants or people like him. His confidants like Yang Wang and Duan Da guarded the area loyally, and others like Zhang Zhenzhou and Wei Lu were still nominally under Wang Xuanying's control, but in fact they had secretly taken refuge with Meng Gong."
Changsun Wuji bit his lips and asked in a deep voice: "As far as you know, how many troops and horses does Wang Xuanying still have under his command?"
The eldest grandson Anshi frowned and thought for a moment, then replied: "There are about five or six thousand people left. The core three thousand soldiers and horses are the old troops of the Huainan Army who have followed Wang Shichong for many years and are led by one of his nephews Wang Xiaojie. The rest They are the soldiers and horses of Duan Da and Yang Wang. But although Duan Da and others can only follow Wang Shichong all the way to the dark side, there is no guarantee that the Sui army will bribe their subordinates. "
"So what Wang Xuanying can really use is only three thousand soldiers and horses!"
