Chapter 190 Why?

Xue Shixiong, Hedong, contains two contents, first of which is Junwang (ancestral home) "Hedong", and then his name. In this era, the first three words can lead to another message, that is "Hedong Xue Family".

Although the Xue family in Hedong is not as good as the highest-ranking family in the world, the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" is also a first-class surname in Hedong, and one of the six major surnames in Guanxi (Wei Peiliu Xue Yang Du).

Yuwen Wen didn't care about the surname of the high family, but he was "very familiar with his name". Xue Shixiong, the 'historical celebrity', was right in front of him at this moment, but this 'middle-aged and young man' in his early thirties at this time.

"Xue Shixiong, Hedong, you have good martial arts skills, it's a pity that you just buried it like this." Yuwen Wen signaled to let go of the other party, "I remember, your father was also a court official back then?"

Xue Shixiong gradually came to his senses. He heard Yuwen Wen’s question and then replied: “Go back to the king, my father was the governor of Jingzhou back then.”

"It turns out that the Xue Envoy of Jingzhou was Lingzun. When I was young, I followed my family... my middle-aged elders went to Jingzhou to hunt and received the Xue Envoy..."

Yuwen Wen began to chat with Xue Shixiong that he was the heir of Yuwen Yi, the former Xiyang County Duke, so he should not call his biological father Yuwen Liang "father" in public. Although many people who are familiar with the inside story actually regard him as Yuwen Liang's second son.

When the generals saw that Yuwen Wen began to persuade the surrender in a reminiscent manner, they quickly let the soldiers watching the fun around them disperse, but just in case, they still left a few soldiers beside Yuwen Wen.

During the chat, Yuwen Wen learned about Xue Shixiong's experience over the years. His father Xue Hui had died of illness. When the rebellion broke out in the second year of Daxiang, Xue Shixiong was the commander-in-chief and followed the imperial army to attack Xiangzhou General Manager. Shu Duke Yuchi Jiong was defeated and Yecheng was lucky enough to escape.

When Yang Jian was surrendered to the founding of the Sui Kingdom, he became a minister of the Sui Kingdom. Although he had experienced many years of war, he did not get much opportunity. On the eve of the demise of the Sui Kingdom, he was promoted from the commander-in-chief to General Yitong based on his military merits.

Last year, the Sui Kingdom fell, and Xue Shixiong surrendered with the crowd and became a minister of the Zhou Kingdom. However, because of the stain, the title and other titles were naturally gone, and General Yi Tong could not do it. Now he is just a horse army leader under the command of the Yuzhou General.

Before today's war, Heba Fuen, the general manager of Yuzhou, dispatched troops and ordered him to lead more than a hundred cavalry to patrol the rear of the army to prevent the Anzhou cavalry from attacking in the roundabout way.

Just now, when Xue Shixiong saw Heba Fuen fleeing north in a hurry, he led his subordinates to intercept the pursuing Anzhou army. Heba Fuen broke through the siege and went north, while Xue Shixiong's subordinates were either killed or captured, and he was alone to hold on until now.

"General Xue, if you are in the city today, why don't you turn a blind eye to revive your Xue family's lintel?"

Yuwen Wen was directly persuaded to surrender, but Xue Shixiong hesitated. After a moment, he knelt on one knee and fisted and said, "Thank you for not killing the king. Xue is willing to follow the emperor and make meritorious service, but..."

Hearing this, Yuwen Wen was stunned and shouted in his heart: Why? I have done this and you haven’t surrendered yet!

"It's just that my family is in Hedong. If Xue... please give Xue a happy time."

"General Xue turned out to be Gu Nian's family..." Yuwen Wen pondered. Xue Shixiong's concerns were not unreasonable. It seemed that his persuasion to surrender had no effect.

"Well, General Xue is concerned about his family. I admire him very much, come!"

Xue Shixiong said that he had reached the end of his life, and lowered his head to wait for the arrival of that moment. After a moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded. When he looked up, he saw Yuwen Wen ordered someone to lead a horse.

"General Xue seized several spears, and I admired them very much, so I sent the mount to the general, with bows, arrows, kettles, dry food and some food on it. The general rushed back to Hedong as soon as possible to reunite with his family."

Yuwen Wen decided to do a good person to the end. Xue Shixiong would rather die for his family, which means that even if he was bad, he would not be able to get bad. The other party was not highly used in the Yuchi camp. However, if a military leader was released, he would not be willing to return to the mountain. It would be better to be generous and make a good relationship.

"King... King! Thank you for not killing me!" Xue Shixiong choked with his voice, knelt on his knees and was about to kowtow, and was helped by Yuwen Wen: "Let's go quickly. If you let the other side know that you have been captured after a long time, it would be a bad thing."

"King, I'm afraid that the king will make me leave..."

"It's okay, the emperor understands the truth and will not care about such things."

Xue Shixiong was very excited and stood up to salute Yuwen Wen: "Master! After Xue went back to settle his family, he came to serve the king and led the horse and fell into stirrups for the king!"

"There will be a period later."

"Master, there will be a date later!"

Xue Shixiong rode on his horse, saluted again, followed Yuwen Wen's instructions and rode his horse to the northeast. There were no Anzhou Army's rangers in that direction, so he should be able to avoid being captured again.

Seeing Xue Shixiong's back disappearing from his sight, Yuwen Wen turned around and walked back. Of course, he knew that Xue Shixiong was a handsome talent, and he did lack talent, but this worried man who was now worried about his family was useless.

"It's easy to get a thousand gold, but it's hard to find a general. What can you do?~~~"

Yuwen Wen hummed, but his mood was not affected. He showed his skills today, but he was so cool after all, right?

Not far away, next to a carriage, Zhang Yu, a lieutenant of the Xiyang Palace, was talking to a man and handed a small bag to the other party. The man was Wu Laoliu, the man who smiled and nodded and bowed, turned out of the carriage and followed the crowd to the city.

Yuwen Wen looked at Wu Laoliu's back and waved to Zhang Yu to come over. When he approached, he asked: "He has deceived so many people, how dare he return to the city?"

"King, he said he was just a widower and there was nothing to be afraid of."

"That's right, a bachelor, he's a bad life." Yuwen Wen nodded and continued to move forward, Zhang Yu followed closely behind.

"Hurry up and let the news go out, just say that the so-called massacre of the city is a plan, and it is not that matter at all. Don't let someone spread it, it will come true afterwards!"

"Yes, king!"

The master and servant were muttering, and a large number of cavalrymen from the north went south. The Anzhou cavalry who was pursuing the Yuzhou commander Heba Fuen came back and brought back one thing: Heba Fuen's head.

Yuwen Wen asked after a while and it turned out that although Heba Fuen was led by Xue Shixiong to rescue, the troops on both sides were disparate, so although Heba Fuen, who fled north in a hurry, escaped for a few miles, was still caught up by the Anzhou cavalry and blocked by the Ru River.

Seeing that there were pursuers behind Rushui, Heba Fuen swung his sword and committed suicide, so the Anzhou cavalry cut off his head and brought it back.

"Would you rather die than surrender?"

Yuwen looked at Hoba Fuen's bloody head and muttered to himself a little lost.

He knew the story of Hoba Fuen. He was a general of Qi back then. Shortly after surrendering to Zhou, he saved the life of Emperor Yuwen Yong of Zhou in the Jinyang battle. It is said that such a person should be the most loyal follower of the Yuwen family. As a result...
