As long as he doesn't face Xu Le, Wang Shichong can preserve his dignity, especially in front of a group of civil and military officials in Luoyang City and even the Emperor Tai Lord Yang Tong whom he supported, he was a terrible existence.

No one dared to face the majesty of Duke Zheng, and no one dared to rebel against his intentions.

The former "Seven Prizes" assisted the government, but now there is only one of them. The other six people are not weaker than Wang Shichong in terms of official positions, power, qualifications and prestige. But now they are either dead or under Wang Shichong's wings. This is his confidence.

Many rules were destroyed in troubled times, and the old system could not be maintained. Whoever held the knife in his hands would be tough.

What's more, Wang Shichong's military achievements were in great success in repelling Wagang, so no one dared to compete with him.

Several ministers in the room were nominally the heroes of the Luoyang court, but they were all submissive or arrogant in front of Wang Shichong. Even if they were not as cautious as they were now, they were not as cautious as they were now.

This is not surprising. After all, the baby in the palace is not harmful to people. Wang Shichong has the real power to decide everyone's life and death. He will not dare to offend anyone.

Of course, the ministers who can survive the bloody storm are not ordinary people. They are all first-class in the world in observing words and expressions, especially Wang Shichong's emotions, and can feel both joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

They were very surprised that it was a great pleasure to defeat Wagang, but why did Duke Zheng feel very depressed?

It can even feel that his anger is greater than before. Could it be that the new Xuan Armored Cavalry is actually a more threatening existence than the Wagang Army?

Xu Le's purpose of entering the city with high profile was to show off the power of the Xuan Armored Rider.

If you are a newcomer and a person, if you want to ensure that you and your subordinates are not despised and bullied, you must show your strong force and your attitude and determination to use force at any time.

The more you want to live in peace, the more you have to show off your military power first.

This principle was only gradually understood after Xu Le became an adult and applied it to his own life.

If you want to make friends with, you have to go through a few moves first, otherwise you will inevitably be despised.

As it turns out, his move was very successful.

For example, the ministers in front of Wang Shichong did not participate in the previous Mangshan War, and did not see who had the upper hand and what kind of results they achieved.

There is no intuitive understanding of the combat power of the Xuan Armor Cavalry.

However, seeing the scene of them marching into the city and the heads hanging around the neck of the blood-stained horse on their armor, we knew that this was a tiger and wolf army, so how could we dare to underestimate it?

Fortunately, they were under the banner of Li Tang. Since Duke Zheng and Li Yuan made an appointment as ally, this armored cavalry is a friendly army.

Now that the enemy is in front of you, the more friendly troops, the better, and the stronger the combat power, the better. The more powerful this team is, the safer it is. Why is the Duke of Zheng not happy?

Everyone can only keep this kind of problem in their hearts, and no one dares to speak up.

Wang Shichong is always a good person, but he is never ruthless when he kills people, especially when he is in a bad mood, no one dares to ask more questions.

The room was very quiet. Wang Shichong seemed to have forgotten the existence of these ministers and focused on the Luoyang account books sent by these people.

Now that Wang Shichong is in power, he is in his own hands with both military and civilian politics.

Other high-ranking officials and warriors became generals and officials to charge into battle, while civil officials became officials, and could only engage in this kind of dispatch of statistical materials to raise food and grass.

However, these books are not useless. The population and wealth of the entire Luoyang are recorded.

Since the area controlled by the small court is only a little bit, it is easier to count.

Due to the power of aristocratic families and the means of local tyrants, the official accounts of the Sui Dynasty's imperial court were widely found in hidden households or hidden houses. Those account data were only taken to see, but they were not actually true.

These on Wang Shichong's desk are real numbers.

Even the number of people and wealth in the palace is clearly recorded.

Looking at the numbers on the account book, Wang Shichong frowned and turned into a word "chuan". He was silent for a while before asking, "That's all?"

"Lord, a wise man!"

The closest to Wang Shichong is Yun Dingxing, the general of Zuotun Guard. This person has a special identity and is actually far above Wang Shichong based on his status alone.

The former deposed crown prince Yang Yong favored his concubine and his wife, and his concubine was Yun Zhaoxun, the daughter of Yun Dingxing.

Even the family's death was eventually killed due to failure to seize the throne, which was also closely related to Yun Zhaoxun.

If Yang Yong had won that day, Yun Dingxing might have risen to the top.

He was not implicated in the defeat of Yang Yong, and was even named General Zuotun Guard. The reason was only two words: incompetence.

This man has no talent in civil and military affairs, and this general is just a nominee. He has never entered the military camp or practiced martial arts.

Wang Shichong was more important because of his identity. His intention was nothing more than to appease the old ministers of the Great Sui Dynasty, and it was also a hint: he sympathized with Yang Yong in his heart.

This is of course for the preparation for the next move in the future. Yun Dingxing is just a raft for this matter.

However, rafts also have the value of rafts. In daily life, Wang Shichong was very kind to Yun Dingxing and would not blame him easily.

On the surface, Yun Dingxing and Na Yan Duan Da have similar identities and status, and can be called Wang Shichong's right-hand man.

It is precisely because of this that Yun Dingxing dared to speak on such occasions.

"The rice valleys in the city have been concentrated. We dare to swear to the sky that no one dares to secretly store rice and millet.

If a grain of rice is left outside, please behead us and behead us!"

Wang Shichong waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't mean that, I just sighed for a moment.

Originally, I thought hundreds of armored horses were too few, but now it seems that there are only these people. If they have more soldiers, I am afraid that we will not be able to afford the first batch of food and grass."

Yun Dingxing said: "This is nothing to do. After all, Xu Le's son is too arrogant and has no etiquette at all.

Please relax, lord, I know his background.

He may be able to shake his might in front of others and ensure that he is obedient in front of his ministers.

Not to mention him, so what if it is his father Xu Wei?

On that day, in Yang Yong's mansion, he would salute respectfully when he saw me. How could Xu Le, a younger generation, dare to be arrogant?

Relying on how many pounds of courage I have, I ask us for this and that, I have no idea how hard we have worked.

What's wrong with human flesh?

Even in the palace, he was still talking, but Wang Shichong suddenly turned his head and looked over. His blue eyes were filled with cold light. Yun Dingxing felt a chill in his neck and quickly closed his mouth, swallowing all his words back.

He could feel that at that moment, Wang Shichong's eyes were full of murderous intent. If he didn't stop talking, he might lose his life.

It's not too late to stop the cliff, but his life was finally saved.

As Yun Dingxing stopped talking, Wang Shichong did not have an attack, but looked at Na Yan Duan Da on the other side.

Duan Da was both civil and military, and both military skills and government affairs were the best choice. When he was enthroned on that day, his official Bai Nayan also had the same status as Duke Chen and Wang Shichong, and they were both the seven nobles.

But this person does not have much courage, nor does he have the courage and responsibility to take responsibility.

When Yen Wendu and others were about to kill Wang Shichong, Duan Da not only did not dare to participate, but instead took the initiative to lose to Wang Shichong.

Yuan Wendu and others were defeated, and Wang Shichong monopolized the power, which was inseparable from Duan Dazhi's help.

After Wang Shichong took control of Luoyang, Duan Da became his powerful arm.

Although he did not have the courage, he still had the skills to handle affairs, and more importantly, he was loyal to Wang Shichong.

During the Battle of Mangshan, Duan Da always took charge of Luoyang military talismans to guard the rear for Wang Shichong. Although he had no outstanding performance, he had never made any mistakes and had no strange intentions.

Therefore, when he spoke at this time, Wang Shichong would not turn against him.

"What Mr. Yun said is not without reason. The Luodi in Luoyang City is poor, and the rice and grains obtained are just the numbers in the account.

Nowadays, the military and civilians in the city all regard the elderly and the weak as their soup, so why is Li Tang an exception?

If he raised food and grass by himself, we had nothing to say. No matter how thick Duan was, he would not let the people in the city borrow food from the Tang army.

But on the other hand, they shouldn't care about our belongings.

What Xu Le said is reasonable. The two coalition forces should work together. The Li family sent reinforcements, so it is also appropriate for us to supply food and grass.

But we didn't give him military rations, and we didn't treat him differently.

Our own son is also eating human flesh, so why can't his soldiers eat?

Instead of waiting until the food and grass are broken down, it is better to make a clear distinction now.

This is not because we intentionally make things difficult for us, but because there is really no way. If Xu Le is a reasonable person, he should be able to understand your and my difficulties."

Unlike Yun Dingxing, Wang Shichong did not lose his temper at Duan Da, but instead said warmly: "What Na Yan said makes sense, but now it is not the time to reason, and Xu Le is not a reasoned person.

Instead of thinking about explaining it clearly with him, it is better to think about how to raise food and grass.

Fortunately, his troops only have a few hundred people, so we can hold our stomachs tightly for a few days.

When the Li Tang army arrived, the military rations were settled.

The Duke of Tang was always kind and would never let tens of thousands of people come to Luoyang to eat.

If he really reaches that field, he will be the first to ask for an axe and halberd to serve as food for the Li family’s soldiers! Before the Li family’s army arrives, he must not supply human flesh to the Xuanjia cavalry, nor should he deduct it.

Even if you eat all the grain and rice in the treasury, you have to make sure that they have grain in their stomachs and wine in their bowls.”

“The Lord said strongly.

But even if we don’t eat or drink, how many days can we serve?

Let’s talk about the palace, “In the palace?”

Wang Shichong snorted coldly and interrupted Duan Da: "When we were fighting with Wagang, did the man in the palace exert any effort?

Now that the enemy is in front of you, those who can fight should be full. As for others, they may have to suffer some grievances.

This is a rule since ancient times, and even Your Majesty cannot destroy it.

This is how everyone comes here, let him bear it."
