A trace of anger flashed across Hongfu's face and he said in a deep voice: "What, Wang Shichong, do you want to go against my young master?"

Wang Shichong laughed: "Who is going to go against whom? Hongfu, since the rebellion, no, it should be said that since Yang Xuangan came to ask me for an official position and I helped him arrange for Li Yang to stay in the official position, I, Wang Shichong, have never been sorry for him, Yang Xuangan. What is the matter that I did not come according to the agreement of my allies?"

Hongfu's lips curled up and said lightly: "My young master also kept his promise. After the rebellion, he has never betrayed you. Otherwise, how could you sit in Dongdu so comfortably?"

Wang Shichong sneered: "He acted against the alliance and said he would not fight Dongdu. Now after winning two battles, he began to expand himself and came straight to here. Not only did he bear the alliance, he also risked you to this Dongdu, trying to convince me to accept this faita fact and help him open the city to seize the throne. Hongfu, I thought Yang Xuangan was a gentleman who valued faith and kept his promises, but now it seems that I have really misunderstood."

A cold light flashed in Hongfu's eyes and he said sternly: "You are not allowed to say that to my young master. Now if you are in his position, wouldn't you have the same idea? The foreign aid in Dongdu has been gone, and an isolated city is a time of panic. If you don't take the opportunity to win it in one go, you will miss the opportunity. On this point, although I, Hongfu, admitted that my young master had violated the original promise, I can only say that the plan was not as good as change. The young master was betting on the life of the entire clan and tens of thousands of people as a bet. Naturally, I cannot give up any opportunity to win directly!"

Wang Shichong's lips curled: "That's why I said you are stupid. I'm sure that even Li Mi would not go this path. This must be the plan that Yang Xuangan would come up with, who was trained to be full of muscles and twisted by the fire of hatred."

Hongfu instinctively wanted to curse back, but with a thought, he said, "Why did you judge this?"

Wang Shichong sighed: "Li Mi has been using various means to force Yang Xuangan to raise an army because he is not sure if there will be such an opportunity in the future. He believes that after Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, he will never use troops to the outside world again, so we will never have the opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, before the rebellion, the most urgent thing is him."

"But after the uprising, Li Mi, as a top strategist, would have a very calm judgment. Taking the East is a way of being the best. Not to mention that he can't fight, he will even be able to fight. Yang Xuangan will never laugh at the end. At best, he will kill all the members of the Sui Yang clan in the city and let out a sigh of anger. The one who gets the world in the end will still not be Yang Xuangan."

Hongfu opened his eyes wide and said suspiciously: "What do you mean? If you seize the Dongdu, the foundation of the Sui Dynasty will be over. The heroes from all directions will definitely rise up. They will be divided everywhere and smoke thousands of miles away. Isn't that the troubled times you want?"

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "The troubled times are troubled times, but the first one to die is still Yang Xuangan. He will even be doomed earlier than Yang Guang. Because after entering Dongdu, he avenged his revenge and extricated his anger and would enslave troops. The mobs under his command were poor and stinky boatmen who had a great revenge. They entered this colorful world at once, and they would eat up all the families in the world. In addition, he was the first rebel, so he would definitely become the target of public criticism and be eliminated by all powerful men, just like Dong Zhuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Hou Jing of the Southern Liang Dynasty. He was just a stepping stone for the heroes of the new dynasty."

Hongfu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he turned to sneer: "You are threatening me with big words again. Humph, now you are not sure to defend Luoyang, so you say such words. You want me, Hongfu, to lie to the young master and let him give up this great opportunity. Do you think I don't know what you think? You are afraid that if the young master enters Luoyang, you will have no chance."

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "If he enters Luoyang, like Li Mi, I will become one of the top two heroes. With Yang Xuangan's character, I am not afraid of wealth in the new dynasty. At least I don't have to live a life as nervous as I am now. After he avenged his revenge, he might even give up his throne. I can ascend to heaven in one step. Isn't it more free and happy than now? But I still can't let him take this step for his own good. Luoyang is definitely not a paradise, but a hell that will destroy him!"

Hongfu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "You are asking the young master to turn into Guanzhong. Is it a good thing to enter Guanzhong? If he can enter Guanzhong, Yang Guang's army can also enter in the future. Just relying on Tongguan natural danger or the Yellow River Ferry, it will not be able to block the millions of troops of the Sui Dynasty!"

Wang Shichong smiled and said, "With Yang Xuangan's headline, the militia army in various places will see hope. Some hesitant local tyrants will also begin to become independent. Yang Guang rushed back from the Goguryeo front line. Not to mention how many troops would be eliminated by the Goguryeo army on this road, even if he returned to the mainland, most of the important losses of the military equipment would be mostly caused by the heavy losses of the military supplies, and the soldiers would flee in large numbers."

"At that time, Yang Guang could stabilize basic core areas such as Hebei, Shandong, Central Plains, and Jiangdu, so how could he mobilize a million troops to attack Guanzhong? Yang Xuangan still has the ability to protect himself. As long as the world situation changes, he retreats and can seize Guanzhong and become a magistrate. He can advance and lead his troops to go east and fight for dominance in the world. It is not much better than trying to achieve success in one battle and make a slim hope?"

Hongfu was speechless for a long time, and then sighed for a long time: "These military and national affairs were planned by your men. Hongfu didn't understand, nor did he know who said it correctly. But Hongfu only knows that the young master's troops are as strong as rainbows, and the troops are at the city, and the east capital is already an isolated city. In the past two days, as you said in the court and in Queen Xiao, you come to serve the Central Plains elders in the army every day, and there are thousands of them."

"And I have also heard that Pei Hongce was killed. With this news, most of the children of the aristocratic families who brought troops to help would not dare to enter the city, but would join the young master's army. Now the young master has sent an envoy to contact the soldiers of various aristocratic families on the road. Even you told the court what the result would be. Do you have to go to the end?"

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "The words in the court are for Fan Zigai to listen to, so that he should not be careless, and the words upstairs are for Queen Xiao to listen to, so that she can feel at ease and not be afraid. Now what I want to tell you is the truth."

"Hongfu, even if these aristocratic children were confused for a while and joined the rebels, they would not last long, nor would they really serve your son. The reason is very simple. Their family is in the city and their fathers are in Liaodong. Do you think these people will be like Yang Xuangan and Li Mi. They don't want the whole family's lives, just to rebel, and get an official title similar to that in the new dynasty?" (To be continued.)
