The most powerful fool system

　What's more, Wang Shichong was in place in one step, directly proclaiming himself emperor, and the country was named Zheng!

　Anyway, Xu Feng's side has already announced to the world that they are sending troops to attack, so Wang Shichong has nothing to shy away from, let's get over the emperor's addiction first.

　In Chang'an City, after learning that Wang Shichong proclaimed himself emperor in the eastern capital, Li Yuan was also very moved. He urgently summoned his courtiers to discuss matters. In fact, he wanted to pave the way for himself to be proclaimed emperor.

　"My dear friends, Wang Shichong has already raised troops against the Sui Dynasty in the eastern capital, and proclaimed himself emperor.

　And the Hunjun Yang Guang is leading the army to the north to attack Wang Shichong. Who do you think will win this battle? "

　Li Yuan looked at the many subjects and asked.

　"Father, Wang Shichong occupies the Eastern Capital, with sufficient money and food, and rich land and people, otherwise he would not have been able to expand such strength in less than half a year.

　On the side of Hunjun Yang Guang, the Sui army led by the ancestor emperor was left behind.

　It was a fluke that Yang Guang led the army to destroy the Wagang rebels, and it should have exhausted the last vitality of the main force of the Sui army.

　Therefore, the boy feels that it is difficult for the faint king Yang Guang to destroy Wang Shichong! "

　Hearing Li Yuan's question, Li Jiancheng was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

　Before Li Yuan's meeting, Li Jiancheng had figured out what Li Yuan was thinking and knew that Li Yuan wanted to become emperor.

　This was also what Li Jiancheng thought. Once Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, Li Jiancheng would be the prince.

　That's why Li Jiancheng immediately stood up and asserted that the Sui army would be defeated in order to dispel Li Yuan's concerns and make Li Yuan proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible.

　"What the eldest son said is very reasonable. At this time, the faint king Yang Guang is just dying. The elite of the Sui army has already been lost, and it won't last long."

　Immediately, ministers stood up to support Li Jiancheng, and these ministers were all from Li Jiancheng's faction.

　At this time, of course they hoped that Li Yuan would become emperor, and that Li Jiancheng would become the crown prince. Those ministers who supported Li Jiancheng would have a bright future.

　"Ah."

　Hearing what Li Jiancheng and many other courtiers said was in line with Li Yuan's wishes, making him smile and nod involuntarily.

　"Father, the child has something to say."

　At this time, Li Er on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up and said.

　"What about Shimin, what do you want to say, speak freely, as a father, I want to hear your thoughts."

　Li Yuan was put in a good mood by Li Jiancheng's words, looked at Li Er, and said.

　What Li Yuan said was indeed true. He knew that his second son was smart and full of ideas since he was a child, so he really wanted to hear what Li Er had to say.

　"Father, in fact, for us, the battle between the stupid king Yang Guang and Wang Shichong, no matter who wins or loses, it is the same for us.

　If Wang Shichong wins, the demise of the Sui Dynasty is still doomed.

　And if the foolish king Yang Guang wins again, we have no turning back.

　Therefore, no matter who wins or loses between Wang Shichong and the Sui Army, it is the same for us. "

　What Li Shimin meant was to tell Li Yuan that if he wanted to become emperor, it would have nothing to do with the war between Wang Shichong and the Sui army.

　"What Shimin said seems to make sense."

　Li Yuan nodded.

　Rebellion is a road of no return. They have already embarked on this road of no return, and there is no turning back.

　Seeing that his second son did not object to his proclaiming himself emperor, Li Yuan felt better, and continued to ask: "What about Shimin, since the war between the Sui army and Wang Shichong is not important to us.

　Then you say, what is the most important thing for us now? "

　"Father, the most important thing for our Li family now is to obtain the full support of all the powerful families in Guanzhong.

　It would be even better if the northwest can be pacified and Bashu can be captured in the southwest. "

　The era of the Sui Dynasty was still the era of clans, among which the Guanlong clan was the most powerful.

　Don't look at this time, Li Yuan has occupied Chang'an, but in fact the territory that the Li family can really control is around Chang'an.

　As for other places in Guanzhong, most of the control is in the hands of a few big men.

　In this era, if Li Yuan wanted to be emperor, it would be almost impossible without the support of the Guanlongmen Clan.

　At this time, Li Yuan heard Li Er talking about the family affairs, and his expression became serious.

　Ever since Li Yuan entered Chang'an and supported the acting queen, in fact Li Yuan has been longing for the support of all the powerful people in Guanzhong.

　But none of the gatekeepers in Guanzhong are fuel-efficient lamps, so how could it be easy for Li Yuan.

　Things dragged on like this.

　"So, Father.

　When we get the support of the Guanzhong family, that is the day when the father can be called the emperor.

　At that time, if we seize the Northwest and Bashu again, we will have horse farms and granaries.

　At that time, no matter whether he is Wang Shichong or wins with the army, he is destined to be an enemy anyway, and if he is an enemy, he will be eliminated. "

　Li Er talked eloquently, making Li Yuan above listen with bright eyes.

　"Where is Shimin, the matter of getting in touch with a few powerful people is entrusted to you by my father. Are you sure you can handle it well?"

　Li Yuan said so.

　Li Er was also taken aback, he was just expressing his thoughts, but he didn't expect that Li Yuan would entrust him with this important task.

　But afterward, Li Er was also overjoyed. He knew that once this task was completed, his status in Li Yuan's heart would definitely increase a lot.

　More importantly, with Li Yuan's order, he can justifiably get in touch with those elites in Guanzhong.

　As long as he can win over a powerful person, the strength around him will increase by one point.

　Therefore, Li Er immediately knelt down and replied: "Yes, father, my son will do my best to help father solve problems and persuade these powerful families."

　But this time, Li Jiancheng was in a hurry.

　Li Jiancheng is not stupid, so he can naturally think of the benefits he can bring to himself by persuading these powerful worlds.

　Such an important matter can't be left to the second child.

　To be honest, Li Jiancheng in history was still very talented, but it's a pity that this character was hacked miserably, and everyone thought him stupid.

　At this time, Li Jiancheng stood up and said, "Father, my second brother has been busy recruiting new soldiers in Guanzhong these days, and he is already very busy.

　How can you arrange such a burdensome matter for him again? The matter of contacting and negotiating with the big figures in Guanzhong should be left to Hai'er. "

　"You want to try it too?"

　Li Yuan asked.

　"Well, yes, Father.

　As the eldest brother, the boy must of course share greater worries for the father. "

　Li Jiancheng said very sincerely on the surface.

　"Okay, it's rare for Jianjian to have such a heart, so let the two of you brothers carry it out separately."

　"Thank you, Father."

　Li Jiancheng was delighted to hear that Li Yuan agreed.

　At the same time, Xu Feng's side led the main force of the Sui army to go northward, and they hit Chenliu very quickly. All the remnants of Wagang along the way basically either surrendered upon hearing the news, or fled.

　The Sui army did not encounter too many obstacles. Half a month later, the Sui army arrived at the boundary of Xingyang.

　Originally, for the Sui army, this time they went north to capture the Eastern Capital.

　The best attack route should be to go north from Yingchuan and attack Luoyang from the south.

　But Xu Feng still chose to detour to the east and fight from Xingyang.

　The main reason is that the large city in the east of the Eastern Capital was captured by the Wagang rebels before, and now Xu Feng led the Sui army to fight back, just to liquidate the aristocratic families here who took refuge in Wagang.

　It can be said that when Xu Feng called all the way, his head was chopped off.

　Every time he went to the city, Xu Feng would send people to inquire, to find out that when the Wagang rebels came, it was the aristocratic family in the city who led the way.

　Once it is found out, it will be copied and executed.

　Rebels, kill!

　This is Xu Feng's attitude towards those rebels. Any Sui officials, gentry, and merchants who dared to surrender to the rebels, without exception, would all be executed.

　Kill until you are afraid, and kill everyone who dare not join the rebels.

　At the end of July, Xu Feng led the army to Xingyang.

　At this time, Xingyang was already occupied by Wang Shichong, and a Zheng army was stationed in the city.

　When they got here, the Sui army couldn't do it, and broke the city without a single soldier.

　The defenders in Xingyang City, after seeing the arrival of the Sui army, closed the city gate tightly, and the city wall was full of soldiers.

　"Have you found out clearly? What is the origin of the traitors guarding the city of Xingyang?"

　Xu Feng looked at the head of Xingyang city, the big flag with the word "Zheng" waving in the wind, with a cold expression, he asked Zhou Yu.

　"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the reaction of the Zhou family, a local gentry, there are about [-] soldiers stationed in Xingyang City.

　Among them, the leading general was Wu Yu, who was a school lieutenant in Dongdu and a native of Xingyang, who had been serving under Wang Shichong.

　After Wang Shichong occupied Xingyang, he transferred this person to guard the city. "

　Zhou Yu replied.

　"What's going on at Sishui Pass?"

　"Return to Your Majesty, there is no movement yet."

　"Hmph, Wang Shichong is treating Wu Yu's 1 horses as abandoned sons!"

　Xu Feng snorted coldly.

　"Send someone into the city and tell Wu Yu that now Kaicheng, I forgive him for his innocence.

　If he persists in his obsession, the day he breaks the city will be the day when all his nine clans will be wiped out. "

　"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send people into the city immediately."

　Xu Feng felt that there was still a chance to recruit this person.

　The main reason is that Wang Shichong asked Wu Yu to guard Xingyang at this time, and there was no movement at Sishuiguan, which simply abandoned Xingyang.

　With the strength of the Sui army, conquering Xingyang is not a problem.

　But to Xu Feng's surprise, the envoy sent by Zhou Yu into Xingyang City came out soon.

　But it didn't come out, but was beheaded and thrown from the city wall.

　"Wu Yu, you are courting death!"

　When Xu Feng saw the envoy's head being carried back, he was furious on the spot.

　Killing the envoy he sent was like slapping him in the face of the emperor again, how could he tolerate it.

　"Zhou Yu, Wu Yu's head is really needed to attack the city with the whole army."

　Xu Feng immediately issued an order.

　"Let Bai Qi lead the army and stare at Sishui Pass.

　Let Chen Qingzhi lead 1 horses to conquer all the lost land in the east and pull out the cancer of the Wagang Zongzhai. "

　Xu Feng gave orders one after another.

　"Yes, Your Majesty."

　"General, how could you kill the envoy sent by His Majesty.

　In this way, we have no way out at all! "

　In Xingyang City, a general of the Sui Army hurriedly found Wu Yu and questioned him.

　"What can I do? My wife, children, and children are all in Wang Shichong's hands, and I have no way out.
