Han Zhili's face changed drastically, he took two steps back and said in a trembling voice: "Why did your highness say this?"

"This is the truth. Why doesn't Han Jun like to listen?" Yang Yuanqing said coldly.

"But...but...but..." Han Zhili wiped the sweat from his forehead, not knowing what to say, but if this is the case, his mission would have failed.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing had no intention of talking to him anymore. He walked to more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry and said to Han Zhili: "Take all these treasure beauties back and tell Dou Jiande that since he wants to play chess in the world, then take some courage to play chess and don't use these childish things to coax me. If he wants Hebei, it's enough to defeat me. If he doesn't have the courage, then ask him to withdraw from Hebei by himself. The world is the only strong. Can I, Yang Yuanqing, have I, just a few boxes of jewelry and a few women?"

Han Zhili looked ashamed, bowed and bowed, and then stepped down. He also took the gold, silver, jewelry and the girl back.

At this time, Pei Qingsong stepped forward and smiled, "The chief manager can actually accept these gifts and deceive Dou Jiande, making him think that the chief manager really has the intention of reconciliation."

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and said coldly: "Then you are too naive. Who is Dou Jiande? Do you think he really thinks I will reconcile with him? He is just a slow-down strategy. He wants to concentrate the Hebei army and then fight to the death with me."

Pei Qingsong felt the displeasure in the manager's heart, and was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. Yang Yuanqing ignored him. He stared out of the window with his hands behind his back and said to himself, "Yu Wenji actually gave Dou Jiande such a generous gift, which is interesting."

.........

In Qi County, Pengcheng County, Yu Wenji's 100,000 troops were stationed here, while Li Mi's 150,000 troops were stationed in Fuli County to the north. The two armies confronted each other through Tongji Canal, and had been confronting for a whole winter.

Yu Wenji's 100,000 troops were stationed outside the county town, while civil and military officials, puppet emperors and thousands of palace maids and eunuchs lived in the county town. Yu Wenji appointed Qi County as the capital and ordered people to renovate the Confucian Temple in the county town and serve as a palace. He would hold a morning court here every morning, and even if nothing happened, he would stay here for an hour, enjoying it every day.

Yu Wenji also had another idea to take Yang Guang's palace concubine and concubine for himself. He even made the idea of ​​Empress Dowager Xiao, but his adviser Liu Qing repeatedly advised him that Xiao was the queen of the Sui Dynasty after all, and had a high status in the hearts of the army and officials. If he dared to act lightly, the soldiers would probably feel ashamed of war and chaos, or would leave in a broken heart, and he would have no soldiers to use it. The most feared thing about Yu Wenji who stabbed this sentence was that he was the loss of the army and was even more afraid of war chaos. Yu Wenji had to endure the evil thoughts in his heart and found several young palace concubines to accompany him.

That morning, Yu Wenhe went to the city to attend the court meeting as usual. Not long after he left, more than a dozen generals quietly gathered in the tent of the rear military camp of Sima Dekan, deputy commander of Xiaoguo.

In the big tent, Sima Dekan said to everyone: "I just got a news that Yang Yuanqing had seized Youzhou and defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops in Zhuo County. It is only a matter of time before Yang Yuanqing swept Hebei. He was led by the Sui Dynasty. If we killed Yang Guang, he would definitely not let us go. I will kill us and buy the world. But our Duke Yuwen is incompetent, greedy and lustful, how can he be Yang Yuanqing's opponent? He will inevitably be defeated in the hands of Yang Yuanqing. We are unreliable. Think about it, what way out do we have?"

The dozen generals in the tent were all Sima Dekan's confidants and directly participated in the palace chaos. They were forced to death by Yang Guang, and everyone was very frightened. They were talking nonsense. Some wanted to surrender to Li Mi, some said they wanted to surrender to Du Fuwei, and some wanted to surrender to Wang Shichong.

"Everyone is quiet!"

Deputy General Zhao Xingshu shouted loudly. He knew that Sima Dekan must have had a plan, so he summoned everyone. He said to Sima Dekan: "Please tell us the general! What should we do?"

Sima Dekan nodded and said to everyone: "When we surrender now, they will use us to please Yang Yuanqing. Our only way to live is to hide in the south of the Yangtze River or Lingnan, live the life of a rich man and enjoy the rest of his life. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded. This was indeed a good plan. Everyone was licking blood on the knife to make a living, just to get promoted and make money. Since there is no hope of promotion, it is not bad to make money to be a rich man, but how to make money is the key issue. Everyone looked at Sima Dekan together, and his eyes showed hope.

Seeing that everyone was moved by himself, Sima Dekan lowered his voice and said, "I think everyone should have a clear idea. Yu Wen and the treasures transported from the big ship are filled with hundreds of ox carts. They are hidden in Qi County. They were actually eaten by Yu Wen and one person. I think at least half of them should belong to us. What I mean is to take back our treasures, everyone makes a fortune and then we each find a way out. With these treasures and money in hand, we can enjoy the rest of our lives to be rich. Everyone says what, but don't do it!"

"Dry!"

Everyone shouted in unison, with excitement in their eyes. Sima Dekan quickly whispered, "I have already planned tonight, we will lead our troops out, attack Qi County from Ximen, snatch the treasure palace maids, and then Ximen quickly retreated, find a place to share the money and women, and we will break up."

Everyone was extremely excited and eager to try. Sima Dekan found more than a dozen large bowls, filled with wine, each cut his index finger, and a little blood dripped into each bowl. Everyone picked up the bowl and drank it all, smashing it to pieces.

.........

All the generals returned to the account with their own dream of getting rich, leaving Sima Dekan and Zhao Xingshu to continue discussing the details, and the air in the camp began to become a little nervous.

Among the more than a dozen generals who participated in the discussion, Yuwen was the one with relatively low qualifications. Although his surname was Yuwen, he had nothing to do with Yuwen and was a descendant of a family general of Yuwen Tai. He returned to his tent with worry and sat in the tent for a long time. Finally, he finally gritted his teeth, called a confidant soldier, and whispered to him.

The soldier nodded, quietly left the tent, and headed towards the central army tent in the front camp. In the tent of the central army tent, Liu Qing was correcting the memorial for Yu Wenhua and the minister of government. Yu Wenhua and as the Minister of State of the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty, he could only listen to the court affairs, nor would he express his opinions. Finally, he took the memorial back to his aide Liu Qing for review.

In the side tent, in addition to Liu Qing, there is Yu Wen Shiji's second brother Yu Wenji. He was named the Inner Shi Ling by his brother, but in fact he was in a very bad mood during this period. Since Yu Wenji and the lord killed him, his wife Princess Nanyang began to alienate him. He had not even seen him for a whole winter. His son Zen Master Yuwen was also with his mother. Ignoring him, which made Yu Wenshiji extremely distressed. He had a good relationship with Liu Qing. He often chatted with him.

"Today I heard that Yang Yuanqing had already conquered Youzhou and Dou Jiande was defeated in Zhuo County. Brother Liu, this news is very unfavorable!"

Liu Qing put down his pen and smiled: "Are you talking about the alliance between the lord and Dou Jiande?"

Yu Wenshi nodded and sighed, "Originally, Dou Jiande had an ambiguous attitude. He said he could discuss it, but he did not agree clearly. Now he was defeated in Zhuo County, and he could not protect himself, and he would not be able to send troops to help us. Now he is seeing spring. The decisive battle with Li Mi is coming, and our morale is low. Will we really be Li Mi's opponent?"

Liu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I persuaded my lord to retreat a hundred miles south yesterday and try to delay the decisive battle with Li Mi. As long as we delay another month, our opportunity will come."

"Why?" Yu Wenshi asked in confusion.

Liu Qing picked up the teacup and squinted his eyes and said, "Shi and his brother think that Dou Jiande will lose to Yang Yuanqing, where will they retreat?"

Yuwen frowned. He was about to speak when a soldier outside the tent reported, "Mr. Qi, General Yuwen sent his personal soldiers to come and said there was emergency information."

"Let him in!"

After a moment, the personal soldiers of the mentor Yuwen walked into the tent and knelt down on one knee to report: "My general asked me to report to Mr. Sima Dekan tonight to launch a rebellion, attack the Qi County Palace, and rob the jewellery palace maids. They have already decided."

This unexpected news surprised Liu Qing and Yu Wen Shi and at the same time. Liu Qing hurriedly asked, "When did this happen?"

"Just just now, my general just returned from discussions. They all said that they were all Yuwen's family and could not bear to betray the lord. The situation was very urgent. Please decide as soon as possible."

Liu Qing nodded, "I understand. You go back first. Please tell General Yuwen. I will definitely tell him his loyalty to the lord and will not treat him badly."

The personal soldiers bowed and retreated. Yu Wenshi frowned, "Brother Liu, do you think this is true?"

"I think it should be true. Sima Dekan originally rebelled for profit. Now he can't get any benefits. The resentment in his heart can be imagined. When I advised my lord to seize his military power, the lord hesitated. Now the disaster has come."

Liu Qing felt a little disappointed, and stood up and said, "I will go to the city immediately to report to my lord, and I will talk to my fellow soldiers and brothers in detail another day."

Liu Qing left in a hurry, and Yu Wenshi sighed. In fact, he wanted to join Tang. With his relationship with Li Yuan, Li Yuan would never treat him badly, but he could not leave his wife and children behind. He was extremely conflicted.

.........

"What?"

Yu Wenji jumped up and said angrily: "I treat him with a confidant. He dares to take my property. Is he impatient to live?"

Liu Qing hurriedly advised: "Don't be angry, please listen to your humble words."

Yu Wenji sat down slowly, held back his anger and said, "What did you say?"

"I want to say that I can take this opportunity to catch all Sima Dekan's followers in one place."

"You don't need to say this. I've wanted to kill him for a long time, but Tomoka always pleads for him..."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenhuaji suddenly frowned. He remembered that his brother Yuwen Zhiji had a very good relationship with Sima Dekan. This matter would not have anything to do with his brother, right?

Liu Qing understood his thoughts and whispered: "It's hard to say whether the third young master was involved. If the lord is worried, he can imprison the lord first. The lord can hand over this matter to Beizhi. I just need to use a little trick to catch them all in one place."

Yu Wenhua was originally a person with no opinion. After Liu Qing said this, he immediately took out his gold medal for transferring troops and handed it to him, "It will be a blessing for you!"
