At night, Yuwen Wen lay on the couch and tossed and turned. There was a little red light in the darkness not far outside the mosquito net. The mugwort strips that repel mosquitoes were burning slowly. The mosquito repelling effect of this era may not be very good. He could hear a faint "buzzing" sound outside the mosquito net.

Lingnan in this era was called Lingbiao, a place that makes people feel terrified. Many immigrants from the Central Plains who went south had a high probability that they would not live in Lingbiao for a few years due to various reasons. One of the reasons was that mosquito bites caused serious illness and died without treatment.

Even if the mosquitoes do not spread disease, these small insects that appear in groups every night can make people itchy and unable to sleep. However, Yuwen Wen can't sleep at this time because of other reasons.

This evening, Wang Hu conducted a detailed analysis of the current and future situation. Although it was just his personal opinion, it coincided with Yu Wen Wen's original idea.

Yuwen Wen had similar plans before, considering the huge difference in strength between the Yuchi family and the Yuwen family, he actually prefers the best strategy, that is, assassinating Yuchi Dun and breaking the deadlock violently.

The Yuchi family holds great power, with many adult men, almost all of them can stand on their own, and they look flawless, but it is precisely this reason that leads to the possibility of violent breakthroughs:

Once Yuchi Dun died, the question of who would succeed the King of Shu could directly break up the family.

Therefore, the Shu King Yuchi Jiong was originally married to Princess Jin Ming of Wei, Yuan, who gave birth to three brothers, Yuchi Yi, Yuchi Kuan and Yuchi Shun. Now the only one who lives is Yuchi Shun, that is, Yuwen Wen's father-in-law.

Yuan died of illness, Yuchi Jiong Xuxian, and the bride Wang gave birth to two brothers Yuchi Dun and Yuchi Youqi. According to general opinions, although Xuxian is also a wife, he is not a legitimate wife. In other words, Yuchi Dun's legitimate son should be the only one who is Yuchi Shun after the second year of Daxiang.

It is natural for the legitimate son to inherit the family business, but Yuchi Jiong's family affairs were handled improperly, and Wang's status was no different from that of the legitimate wife. In other words, the "two legitimate wives" occurred, which led to the son born to Xu Xian becoming the legitimate son.

Of course, in this era, it is common for two legitimate wives and sons of Xuxian to become legitimate sons, but in the end, the brothers turn against each other and the father and son are like passers-by.

Maybe it was because Yuchi Jiong favored Wang, maybe it was because two years later, Yuchi Shun was stranded in Shannan for several years, and Yuchi Jiong was surrounded by Yuchi Dun in charge of affairs, so later, it was the fourth elder, Chi Dun, who squeezed out the third elder, Chi Shun, and inherited the throne of King Shu.

In fact, many people in Yuchi Jiong's old friends agreed with Yuchi Shun's succession to the throne of Shu, but since Yuchi Jiong had made a decision, everyone recognized it. After all, Yuchi Dun was also capable, and Yuchi Shun had no son.

Yuchi Dun was old and strong, and he also commanded the army to fight for many years on behalf of Yuchi Jiong. Therefore, even if there is controversy, it can indeed hold on to the scene. The transfer of power of the Yuchi family is a smooth transition.

However, as long as he dies, a fatal conflict will arise: Yuchi Dun's son was young and could not bear the heavy responsibility, so the only one who could take over the throne of Shu was Yuchi Shun or Yuchi Youqi. However, the Shu Concubine Wang would never let Yuchi Shun succeed to the throne.

Wang favored his parents and children and blew the wind in Yuchi Jiong's ears all day long, resulting in a bad relationship between Yuchi Jiong's sons. This was no longer a secret in the Chang'an circle of powerful people back then. For the position of Duke of Shu at that time, Wang did not use any means, let alone now.

The Yuchi family is only one step away from the peak of power, and the throne of the emperor is within reach. A new dynasty is about to be born. How could Wang give the throne that should belong to his own son to the son born to another woman?

However, as long as the youngest Yuchi Youqi squeezed out Yuchi Shun to succeed the throne of Shu, it would lead to dissatisfaction among many people. Among these people, Yuchi Qin and Yuchi Jing, the nephew of the former Shu king Yuchi Jiong.

These two brothers also hold great power and have a good relationship with Yuchi Shun, not to mention that Yuchi Shun is a legitimate heir. They have no reason to support Yuchi Wulang, who is estranged from them.

The father died and the son succeeded, and the brother ended with each other. The father passed the position to his younger brother. Unfortunately, the family business should have been to his elder brother. After all, this elder brother was deeply loved by the family.

More than 30 years ago, Yuchi followed Yuchi Jiong to fight south and north. As the army pacified Shu, Yuchi Dun was probably still a child at that time, and Yuchi Youqi was not even born. In the eyes of the old subordinates of the Yuchi family, the tribes said that Sanlangjun was much more close to Wulangjun.

Yuchi Shun had no son, so this was easy to solve. He only had to adopt a nephew, and his late brother Yuchi Yi left behind a few young sons.

Therefore, when Yuchi Dun died, Yuchi Shun should succeed the throne of Shu in terms of emotion and reason. However, according to the usual style of Shu Concubine Wang, this is impossible, because once a woman becomes paranoid, she has no reason to speak of.

Therefore, as long as Yuchi Dun is killed, there is a great chance that the Yuchi family will have an internal conflict. Because the people's hearts are dispersed, the team will be difficult to lead.

The reason is that, but how to implement it is a headache. Yuwen Wen has actually put the idea of ​​assassinating Yuchi Dun into practice, but it is too difficult to succeed.

The Shu King's Mansion was built with layers of defense, with soldiers outside and guards inside. They were surrounded and were blocked. The assassins sent by Yuwen Wen spent a lot of time but couldn't even figure out the structure of the mansion, let alone sneak in to assassinate.

The servants of the royal palace were all born to the Yuchi family, so it was difficult to bribe them.

When Yuchi Dun traveled, hundreds or even thousands of soldiers accompanied him. Even when he met officials or generals, there were soldiers around him staring at him. The assassins sent by Yuwen Wen had no chance to get close, let alone assassin.

Even though Yuchi Dun entered the palace to meet the emperor, he had guards around him at all times, Yuwen Wen thought that this person should still be wearing ring lock armor, unless he used the Sky Thunder to "rumble" at close range, he had no chance to get close.

Wang Xu was right. If you want to get close to Yuchi Dun and have a chance to take action, only he, the marshal of the Lingnan Road, has a higher chance of going back to the court and offering prisoners to the Taimiao. The prime minister must attend the big scene, so...

Then even if Yuwen Wen succeeded in assassination, he would probably be killed by a guard who rushed forward on the spot, which was actually a death with Yuchi Dun.

He actually did not reject such a result, because Yuwen Wen felt that as long as he could win, he would win the game and fight to the death.

Just like when he was trying to assassinate Yang Jian, since the situation was extremely bad, he was willing to use his life to exchange for the rest of his family's glory and prosperity. Yuwen Wen thought this deal was worth it.

However, the wife and children he wants to protect may not be able to enjoy: if Yuwen’s family wins, Yuchi Chifan and his son will be eliminated as the remnants of Yuchi.

If Yuwen Wen could still bear the pressure to protect his wife and children, but he was already dead at that time. Yuchi Chifan and his two sons had no choice but to be slaughtered. King Qi Yuwen Liang might have promises, but Yuwen Wen couldn't believe it because politics is dirty.

Not to mention anything else, in history, Princess Leping of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Lihua begged her younger brother Yang Guang to take care of her only daughter Yuwen Eying before her death, but what happened later? She wanted to kill her, but she still killed her.

If the Yuchi family is victorious and Yuchi Chifan can survive, but Yuwen Wen's sons cannot survive. The two sons born to Yuwen Wen by Yuchi Chifan are the remnants of the Yuwen family and must also be eliminated.

So Wang Xu is right. The Princess of Xiyang is the weak point of Xiyang. Yuwen Wen may not be able to make the decision to assassinate Yuchi Dun and die with him.

"I always tend to die together, first Yang Jian, then Yuchi Dun... Could it be that I have a violent personality in my subconscious?"

Yuwen Wen muttered to himself, then smiled. He had much more resources than he had back then, so there was no need to use the same method as a moth to the fire. However, even though he figured out this problem, he still tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

In the evening, a messenger came to Song Shou from Fan Yu and reported the "latest" battle to him. The content was simple, which was that the official army's war in Jiangnan was not good, and it was still in a confrontation with Chen's army.

This is the "latest" news, but in fact, considering the distance factor, it is probably an old news from half a month ago. Yuwen Wen didn't know how to describe his mood, because Chen Jun actually defeated the Zhou army in a row, resulting in Jiankang, which should have been at his fingertips, becoming a stinky and hard stone.

In the battle of Jiangshan, the Zhou army was almost wiped out. Later, several defeats were aggravated, which was originally annoying, but the rainy season came and the continuous rain caused the war to become more and more difficult. At this time, Jiankang was still firmly guarded by Chen's army.

Yuwen Wen felt something was wrong. According to the attributes of the captain of the pigs of Chen Shubao, Emperor Chen State, Jiankang City should have changed hands long ago, but Chen's army fought very well and dragged the war into the rainy season. In this way, it is probably the difficulty of the Zhou army to win will suddenly increase.
