In fact, Qin Hu also understood that it was necessary for him to ascend the throne now, because only in this way can the people's wishes be won, the public have more confidence in him, and the princes can choose sides.

However, he has always regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Yu Dynasty. Currently, Yang You is still alive, so he has no way to ascend the throne. He is currently in the same situation as Liu Bei, unless Li Yuan and his son depose Yang You first.

And there is also a relationship with Princess Chang'an, so he can only wait.

At present, he has occupied Luoyang, and Wang Shichong has only a lone army left. Within a few days, most of the territory owned by Wang Shichong also surrendered to him.

Because Xu Shiji held Wang Shichong in Liyang and publicly expressed his surrender to Qin Hu, Qin Hu ordered Xu Shiji to be canonized as Duke of Xu, General Zuo Xiaoguo, and Prefect of Liyang.

Then he ordered the army to reorganize and be ready to send troops at any time to cut off Wang Shichong's last force.

And Wang Shichong was not idle either. He also knew that it was imminent and he would go to hell if he made one bad move, so he had to defeat Xu Shiji as soon as possible.

The problem was that Xu Shiji was difficult to deal with. The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten days. Wang Shichong not only failed to take advantage, but also lost thousands of troops, and his morale became even more depressed.

"Xu Shiji refused to fight us, and he tried his best to play tricks and plots, setting up ambushes everywhere. He would fight when we moved, he would stop when we stopped, and he would set up ambushes when we attacked. This guy is simply a loser."

Pang Yu and Huo Shiju, Wang Bian, Wang Long, Tian Maoguang and other generals were having a meeting with Wang Shichong and his son.

Wang Shichong had been worried so much these days that his hair had turned a lot gray, but none of these generals could help him solve his problems. They talked nonsense for a long time.

Tian Maoguang added: "The most terrible thing is that we are almost running out of food. All the food that can be collected nearby has been collected. All other territories have fallen into Qin Hu's hands. It seems that there is nothing we can do now."

"Is it possible that I, Wang Shichong, am at the end of his rope?"

At this time, Wang Xuanshu suddenly said: "Father, once Qin Hu's main army arrives, we will be attacked from both sides, and there is no big city to rely on. The situation is very critical. I wonder if I want Dou Jiande to ask for help. If he is willing to help, we can make a comeback.

Already."

Wang Shichong sighed: "Asking for help from Dou Jiande? I don't know why I asked Dou Jiande for help. But why did Dou Jiande send troops? His relationship with Qin Hu is not bad."

Pang Yu said: "Your Majesty, don't you know that there are no permanent friends or enemies in the world, only eternal interests. In this case, if we are defeated, Qin Hu's territory will directly border Dou Jiande. Faced with such

Dou Jiande will definitely feel the coldness of his lips and teeth against such a strong enemy, so I guess he will help us."

Wang Shichong said: "Even if I fail, Qin Hu's next target will be Liu Wuzhou and Li Clan, and he will not go to war with Dou Jiande. Everyone knows this."

"That's not necessarily true." Pang Yu shook his head.

Wang Shichong didn't quite agree with Wang Xuanshu and Pang Yu's proposal, but there seemed to be no other way at the moment, so he could only agree to give it a try.

In addition, Wang Shichong thought about all the connections that could be used. At present, there are only a few people who can stop Qin Hu's army. Liu Wu, Zhou Liang, and Li Clan, the capital of the division, sent letters to them all, explaining that if they refused to send troops to help, Qin Hu

The power will become stronger and stronger, which is not good for everyone.

These forces are indeed very worried about Qin Hu's growing strength. When they received Wang Shichong's letter asking for help, they took action one after another.

Li Clan chose to leave Longmen and attack Tongguan, while Liang Shidu took the opportunity to sneak attack Longyou, and Dou Jiande secretly began to provide grain and grass to Wang Shichong.

These are all Qin Hu's troubles. When his army came from far away, these people all jumped out.

Qin Hu hurriedly ordered Wang Junkuo, who was responsible for staying in Chang'an, to go to Puban to join Wang Xingben in resisting the Li clan, and asked Hao Yuan to organize the Longyou area to resist Liang Shidu.

And he personally led the army to the outside of Liyang City, preparing to launch a general attack on Wang Shichong.

"The only one who has not taken action at the moment is Liu Wuzhou. This is very strange. With Liu Wuzhou's habit, it is impossible not to sneak attack Guanzhong while we are empty. I think there is only one possibility, that is, he plans to sneak attack Taiyuan, so we still send someone to

Talk to him."

"As long as he restrains Li Clan, we will be free to completely eliminate Wang Shichong."

Qin Hu immediately ordered Changsun Wuji to go north to form an alliance with Liu Wuzhou.

He is not worried about Liang Shidu, because he believes that Hao Yuan's ability is much stronger than Liang Shidu, and he will definitely be able to beat him to shame and flee.

Of course, Dou Jiande was not idle either. Although he did not send troops to help Wang Shichong, he sent Gao Junya's troops to attack Yuyang County and is currently fighting Qin Shubao.

In this way, Wang Shichong thought he had a chance to breathe.

Qin Hu has now assembled an army of 130,000 to surround Wang Shichong one hundred and fifty miles outside Liyang City, intending to devour him.

However, because Wang Shichong received food supplies from Dou Jiande, there was a faint tendency to revive, and he did not pay much attention to Qin Hu.

He wrote a letter to Qin Hu, which probably means that Qin Hu has been surrounded by the princes. If he does not retreat back to Guanzhong, he is afraid that he will lose Guanzhong and let him decide what to do.

Qin Hu ignored him at all and sent troops to fight in front of his camp every day.

"The boy named Qin is crazy. He actually left the base area alone and insisted on fighting me. Isn't he afraid that the Li clan will take Guanzhong and steal his escape route?" Wang Shichong was puzzled.

But no matter what, the people had already bullied him at his doorstep, and it was impossible for him not to fight, so he sent Pang Yushuai's 20,000 troops to fight Qin Hu.

Qin Hu personally drew his gun and went into battle. After seeing Pang Yu, he smiled and said: "General Pang is here well. It's been more than four years since we left Chang'an."

Before Qin Hu was sentenced to prison, he was very familiar with Pang Yu and Huo Shiju, and they were of the same rank, and their relationship was not bad.

It can be said that Pang Yu and Huo Shiju are by no means bad people, and there is nothing treacherous about them. Later, they had no choice but to follow Wang Shichong because of the situation.

Pang Yu cupped his hand and said, "We haven't seen each other for many years. General Qin's demeanor remains the same. I'm being polite."

He didn't call Qin Hu King of Yan, but only called him General Qin, which was deliberately demeaning and also drew a clear line between him and him. I knew you before, but that doesn't mean I know you now.
