The sunlight shone through the glass window on the floor, and the light reflected on the floor illuminated the face of Prime Minister Yuchi Dun. At this moment, he was listening to people reporting on military affairs in Zhaoyang Palace.

Five days have passed since the emperor was assassinated and seriously injured. The situation has been progressing with joy and sorrow. His cousin, Yuchi Qin, the general manager of Bingzhou, went south in large numbers and wanted to cross the Yellow River from Pujin to attack Guanzhong. As a result, the governor of Yongzhou, Qi Wang Yuwen Liang acted quickly and broke the Yellow River floating bridge.

According to the messenger who had just arrived in Yecheng from Hedong, Yuchi Qin's Bingzhou Army is now confronting Yuwen Liang's Guanzhong Army across the river in Pujin, and the raid has not taken effect. In this way, Yuchi Dun's original idea of ​​a quick battle and a quick decision has failed.

Yuwen Liang had a chance to breathe and had more time to gather troops to fight stubbornly. The next battle in Guanzhong would be a bit tricky, but it was just a bit tricky.

From Hedong to Guanzhong, there is not only Pujin in Yaojin. Fenglingjin downstream of Pujin can also cross the river, while Yuchi Dun can mobilize much more troops than Yuwen Liang and can attack from multiple routes.

As long as a large number of troops were assembled in Pujin and Fenglingjin at the same time, Yuwen Liang could only divide his troops to defend, and his troops were further diluted.

On the other side of Pujin is Zhaodu, and Yuwen Liang must send heavy troops to defend it. On the other side of Fenglingjin is Tongguan. Tongguan is also under Yuwen Liang's control, but how long it can be defended is a question.

Everyone has catapults, thunder and attacking from the sky, and the imperial army is much more abundant in their hands. After the attack for a period of time, Yuwen Liang can only be the one who can't hold on.

The attack of the imperial army on Tongguan would inevitably contain more than half of the Guanzhong army's troops, and the garrison in Chaoyi could not be reduced. The general manager of Yizhou in Shu was very threatening, so it had to be prevented, which would lead to a reduction in the number of troops in other places.

Guanzhong is too busy to take care of itself, and Shannan is not much better. Yu Wenming and Yu Wenwen cannot come back in time. Even if they make arrangements before going to the war, they are not here after all. Once the situation of the war changes and the left-behind confidants cannot make a decision, they will only have more and more tricks to deal with.

Yuwen Liang's side was on the defensive, and the court (Yuchi family) was on the offensive. The defense was weak and the attacking side was strong. The defense had to defend everywhere, but it was impossible to defend everywhere.

Therefore, Yuchi Dun is not in a hurry, especially the offensive in Guanzhong must be steadily and cannot be in a hurry to fight decisively. Otherwise, if there is another battle in Shayuan, the situation will be bad.

In the Battle of Shayuan that year, Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei, who had an absolute advantage, returned with a great defeat, allowing Yuwen Tai from the Western Wei to gain a foothold in Guanzhong and unite people's hearts. Yuchi Dun did not want to repeat the same mistake, so he sent envoys to Pujin in the past few days, asking Yuchi Qin not to be too anxious.

He was afraid that Yuchi Qin would be in a hurry to fight, but Yuwen Liang would plot against him. However, according to the messenger, Yuchi Qin was very cautious and did not rush to win. He had to wait for a breakthrough in Tongguan before taking the opportunity to move.

In the direction of Jingzhou, Shannan, the imperial army had already surrounded Fangcheng and divided the cavalry to continue advancing, harassing the prefectures and counties in Jingzhou, and stagnating the speed of reinforcements from various places as much as possible.

Although the offensive in Tongbai Mountain was a feint attack, it was very powerful and could restrain the forces of the Anzhou army, making it impossible for it to divide too many troops to reinforce Jingzhou. As for Huangzhou...

The marching of Jiangnan Road has stopped fighting against Chen and divided his troops to move westward. Yuwen, who was far away from Lingbiao, rushed north after receiving the news. I am afraid that even the Yangtze River will not pass, let alone go back to Huangzhou!

Yuchi Dun had made arrangements in advance to let Cui Hongsheng attack Jiangling and Cui Hongdu and Cui Dana attacked in the palace. Although he didn't know how the progress of these two places was, for him, no matter whether these two places were successful or not, the fate of Yuwen's defeat could not be reversed.

First defeat Yuwen Liang in Guanzhong. Yuwen Wen in Shannan was like a dog with a broken family. He had no other way except to escape to Chen State. However, these two brothers beat Chen State so badly before, and they would probably die if they ran to Jiankang.

Overall, the situation was generally very good, and the other thing was not so smooth, because the escaped emperor Yuwen Gankeng has been missing so far.

Yuchi Dun sent troops to search around Yecheng, but no good news came. Yuwen Gankeng and his group disappeared. Yuchi Dun and his confidants thought for a long time and felt that the other party might hide in the Taihang Mountains.

If you want to see someone and die, you will see the corpse. Yuchi Dun always needs to get a definite news before he can calm down. However, it doesn’t matter if he really can’t catch Yuwen Gankeng. Anyway, he has already claimed to the public that the emperor was assassinated and was seriously injured and is now healing in the palace.

How long does the emperor's injury take to heal? He said it would take as long as it would take.

Yuchi Dun, who was sure to win, had already made complete preparations, so even if he couldn't find Yuwen Gankeng for several months, it didn't matter, because by then, Yuwen Liang and his son were defeated and the overall situation would be settled.

Thinking of this, the uneasiness in Yuchi Dun's heart dissipated, and he walked slowly out of the hall and bathed in the afternoon sun.

The emperor was assassinated and seriously injured. As the prime minister, Yuchi Dun, in order to better handle government affairs and wait for the emperor to summon him at any time, set up Zhaoyang Palace as the prime minister's mansion, and all matters were handled in Zhaoyang Palace.

This move is similar to Yang Jian at that time. As the prime minister of the regent, he directly set up a prime minister's office in the palace to handle affairs and firmly control the power and the emperor. However, Yuchi Dun did this and did not care about the ministers' opinions.

Now, the thoughts that should be expressed must be expressed, so that everyone can avoid being confused, right?

Although there was actually no emperor in the palace at this time, there were empresses and Princess Xiyang. Both of them were nieces of Yuchi Dun, not to mention a child from the Yuwen family - Yuwen Weicheng, the prince of the Xiyang King.

On that day, Yuchi Dun had handed over the complete plan to his brother Yuchi Shun, so he had to control the prince of Xiyang Yuwen Weicheng in his hands and would never allow any accidents.

No accidents will happen either.

While Yuchi Dun was thinking, he saw a servant walking up with a look of distress. He knew that it was the princess who was responsible for running errands, so he asked what was happening in the palace.

"King, the princess sent a young man to ask if the king is going home to spend the night tonight?"

"No, now the business is busy, and I still have to be on duty in the palace."

After hearing what Yuchi Dun said, the servant looked bitter: "King..."

"Speak if you have something to do! Are you stammering!"

"Yes, yes, yes... The princess means that if the king does not return to the prince's mansion tonight, then the princess will come to the palace to accompany the king."

"Uh-huh?!"

Yuchi Dun was not doing anything at first, but then he heard something was wrong. Seeing this, the servant quickly looked down at his toes. After a moment, he heard Yuchi Dun say, "Forget it, I will go home tonight."

"Ah, the villain replied to the princess immediately."

Seeing the servant leave, Yuchi Dun sighed. His princess Cui is good at everything, but not at all: he is jealous.

As a man and a normal man, Yuchi Dun would certainly not live in a private life, so he naturally had to take a concubine. As for a concubine, of course he had to be beautiful and understanding.

Not to mention anything else, after all, there are always a few days inconveniences for women every month, right? If there is one more person, there is one more choice. Yuchi Dun is old and strong, so he naturally needs a lot, so concubines are indispensable.

Since ancient times, men have been accustomed to taking concubines, but it was nothing, but Cui began to struggle.

He cried all day long, making Yuchi Dun miserable. After all, he had a lot of affection for Cui, and the other party gave birth to a prince for him. Even for his son, he had to give Cui a little bit.

As a result, this person was so good that he refused to give up. The concubine was tortured and timid, and even the maids around Yuchi Dun were replaced by ugly monsters.

Why is this happening? Isn’t it just that Cui is worried that the vixen seduces her king?

Yuchi Dun was tortured by the jealous princess, but he was not an impatient person. Cui was good except for jealousy, so Yuchi Dun let Cui do it.

But he was on duty in the palace these days and did not go back for several nights. Cui began to become suspicious again, fearing that the shameless vixen seduced him. Of course, it was impossible for two beautiful nieces to be like flowers. Cui was worried that the vixen palace maids would cause trouble.

So I just sent someone to ask if he would go back tonight. If he didn't go back, the princess would come to accompany the king to spend the night so that the king wouldn't be able to hold it in and let the vixen take the opportunity to enter.

As a man, his wife is a jealous woman and cannot rest. What a painful thing it is!

Yuchi Dun sighed, shook his head and turned to Zhaoyang Palace. He wondered if he was really promoted to Emperor Zen in the future and would become the queen of Cui, then he would become even more powerful?
