At night, Yuchi Youqi was reading at night. He was reading a secret letter written by his brother Yuchi Dun. The secret letter was brought to him by another secret envoy sent by the Shu Palace, and the content must not be known to outsiders.

The Yuchi family has now reached a critical point and encountered a hurdle. If they can get through it smoothly, their future will be bright, but if they can't get through it, the fate of the Erzhu family back then will be the lesson of the Yuchi family.

Nowadays, Yuchi family, whether they want to do so or not, will replace it, because they will only be crushed to pieces when they retreat. Although the family is strong, there are hidden dangers. Yuchi Dun specially wrote a secret letter to his younger brother to make the other party realize the internal and external troubles facing the family.

The external trouble is Yuwen family. According to the strength comparison, Yuchi Dun suddenly attacked this time, which should have caught Yuwen family off guard and quickly attacked Guanzhong and Shannan, which would have defeated Yuwen Liang and his son before the end of the year.

As a result, the several arrangements made by Yuchi Dun in advance seemed to have not taken effect. Yuchi Qin, the general manager of Bingzhou, was blocked from Puban and failed to enter Guanzhong; the marshal of the Lingnan Road marshal Shi Cui Dana and Sima Cui Hongsheng failed to launch a mutiny at the Jiangzhou Tengkou.

As for the progress of Yizhou General Manager Xipiluo and Xiangxi Road marshal Cui Hongdu, it is unknown because of the road blockage. Yuchi Dun felt that these two could defend Shu even if the war was not good, and restrain the Yuwen family's troops, so there was no big problem.

The problem is that Yuchi Dun arranged five troops to attack the five passes of Dabie Mountain at the same time. As a result, the entire army was inexplicably wiped out. He was also succeeded by the Anzhou army of Yuwen's clairvoy to attack Xuanhu, the governor of Yuzhou Prefecture, resulting in a series of defeats. The siege of Fangcheng was lifted, and the Yuwen family was able to survive.

After careful planning, Yuchi Dun chose to take action, that is, he wanted to use troops before the autumn harvest, and after attacking the opponent's territory, he could harvest local food, eat from the enemy, and reduce logistics pressure.

Even if the main force of Yuwen's family was unable to defeat the opponent's main force, it could interfere with the opponent's autumn harvest. Even if the war lasted for half a year or even a year, it could still cause famine to occur on the other side.

No matter how brave and war-hardened the army is, it cannot fight on hunger. If a famine breaks out in Guanzhong and Shannan, the Yuwen family will collapse without fighting. At that time, naturally someone will catch or chop Yuwen Liang and his son and send the heads to Yecheng.

The result is good now. The official army was rejected from Guanzhong and outside the gates of Shannan. It doesn’t matter if the other party successfully harvests in autumn. The key is that if such a stalemate continues, people’s hearts will change.

Yuchi Dun succeeded to the position of Prime Minister for only one year. Before the Battle of Pingchen was over, he broke with Yuwen without warning. In fact, many civil and military officials were on the wait-and-see attitude, even for some of the followers of Yuchi.

Those who are loyal to the former Shu king Yuchi Jiong may not be loyal to the Shu king Yuchi Dun; those who are loyal to the former Yuchi family may not be loyal to the Silang Yuchi Dun.

This is the internal hidden danger faced by the Yuchi family. It was not a big problem at all, but once the war was stalemate, people's hearts would float. If there was another big defeat, I am afraid that those ghosts and monsters would jump out.

In the current situation, even if the Yuchi family cannot bear the Yuwen family, it is enough to reproduce the confrontation between the East and West Wei. The Yuchi family firmly occupies the former territory of Qi. As long as they manage it with care, they will be the most powerful country in the world.

But those ghosts and monsters are not willing to be willing to do so. They will definitely provoke trouble. The first thing to do is to incite the conflicts between the Yuchi family is the brunt of brothers.

The position of King Shu should have been the Sanlang Yu Chi Shun, but it was the Silang Yu Chi Dun who succeeded to the throne. In fact, many people were dissatisfied with this, but because when King Shu Ding Prince had already made it clear, no one dared to take the lead in causing trouble.

After Yuchi Dun ascended the throne, his status gradually became stronger, but if there were serious setbacks in this war with the Yuwen family, someone would inevitably take the opportunity to cause trouble, which led to internal strife in the Yuchi family and repeat the mistakes of the Erzhu family back then.

Therefore, Yuchi Dun decided to concentrate his troops and drove Yuwen Wen, who was entrenched in Xuanhu, Yuzhou, back to Shannan as soon as possible, and then strengthened the offensive to strive for a breakthrough in Guanzhong or Shannan before the New Year.

The related matters do not require too much attention from Yuchi Youqi. Yuchi Dun asked his younger brother to stay in the southeast and defend the Huainan and Huainan.

First of all, we should be prepared to suppress the Chen army, who intends to take advantage of the situation, to suppress the south of the Yangtze River. If the opponent sees no hope of the northern expedition, he will inevitably turn to the west. In this way, Yuwen will be attacked from both sides and the other side.

Just like in the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty, Sun Quan from Jiangdong attacked Cao Cao in the Central Plains in the north. After the defeat in Hefei, he turned his attention to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the west. Later, Sun Quan sent troops to attack Jingzhou and succeeded, which directly interrupted Liu Bei's rise.

Therefore, Yuchi Dun hoped that history would repeat itself. He sent Fang Gongyi to preside over peace talks with Chen State, in fact, to delay time, and would never hope that peace talks would allow Chen army to expedition the west.

In his letter, he told his younger brother that he must set up close defenses in Huainan so that Chen's army would retreat when they were in trouble. If necessary, he could give the other party a headache and cut off his thoughts on the Northern Expedition.

While doing a good job in "preventing the south", Yuchi Dun asked Yuchi Youqi to do the second thing, that is, to grasp military power, beware of being seized, and especially beware of Sima's difficulties in eliminating.

This kind of thing can only be said in a secret letter. Yuchi Dun has no evidence to prove that Sima Xiaomeng's intention is wrong, nor is he targeting Sima Xiaomeng alone. His request for his younger brother is based on the principle of power struggle.

Military power must not be employed by humans.

In the letter, Yuchi Dun kept emphasizing to Yuchi Youqi that the Yuchi family must not repeat the mistakes of Erzhu. One of the lessons was that the family should be united so as not to be defeated one by one. The second lesson was to prevent the subordinates from taking the opportunity to grow bigger.

Taking the rise of Gao Huan of Qi Shenwu as an example, Gao Huan was affiliated with the Erzhu family. After trying his best to deceive him, he recruited refugees from six towns to settle in Hebei. He colluded with the powerful Hebei gradually grew bigger, waiting for an opportunity to break with the Erzhu family and finally replaced him.

After Yuchi Dun succeeded the throne of Shu, he was always wary of such a recurrence, so the very important position of Bingzhou General Manager was appointed by his cousin Yuchi Qin. When he broke up with the Yuwen family, Yuchi Dun had reached a reconciliation with his brother Yuchi Shun.

The military power of the imperial court must be firmly controlled by the Yuchi family and must not be slapped in the hands of people. This is true in Hebei, Hedong, and in Huainan.

Yuchi Youqi's Jiangnan Road march was originally responsible for the heavy responsibility of destroying Chen, so he gathered the elite of the Zhou army. Although the marching was about to be disbanded, the army still had to stay in the southeast. Yuchi Dun told his younger brother that he must hold this army firmly in his hands and must not be earned by others.

Sima Yingnan was ranked first for those who were able to seize power from Yuchi Youqi. Yuchi Dun reminded Yuchi that the other party was not a disciple of Yuchi's family, nor was he a subordinate.

Sima Xiaonan, a son of a nobleman in Qi State, and has been an official in Zhou State for decades. His connections should not be underestimated. At this critical moment, he must be strictly guarded.

However, all kinds of precautions must be cleverly concealed, so that the other party cannot be dissatisfied with this, so as not to cause any trouble if it was nothing but it would cause a sudden turn for the better.

Yuchi Dun was afraid that his younger brother would not pay attention to it, so he gave an example: Liu Yu made an expedition in the north at the end of the Jin Dynasty and successfully recovered Chang'an. As a result, Liu Muzhi, the confidant who stayed in Jiankang, suddenly passed away. Liu Yu was afraid that Jiankang would change and could only hurriedly return south.

Liu Yu left behind Wang Xiu, Chen Tianzi, Wang Zhene and other civil and military officials to assist the youngest son Liu Yizhen in Chang'an, but he was extremely worried about one of them.

Wang Zhene was the grandson of Wang Meng, the famous prime minister of the former Qin Dynasty, and was very famous in Guanzhong. Liu Yu returned to Nan, thinking that Wang Meng was a hidden danger and was worried that the other party would take the opportunity to seize the opportunity to reign in Guanzhong, so he ordered his confidant Chen Tianzi to beware of Wang Meng. His words were very explicit, so that Chen Tianzi would take action once he felt that Wang Meng had a strange intention.

Chen Tianzi has always had a bad relationship with Wang Zhene. After Liu Yu personally gave an oral explanation, the more he looked at Wang Zhene, the more suspicious he felt. So when the enemy was in front of him, he took the initiative to kill Wang Zhene to prevent future troubles.

Chen Tianzi thought he was "eliminating harm to the country", but was killed by the chief secretary Wang Xiu. The young Liu Yizhen felt that Wang Xiu had bad intentions and killed him at the instigation of others.

The internal strife between major civil and military officials directly led to a great chaos in the morale of the soldiers of the Jin army, and the gains and losses in Guanzhong were lost. The best situation in the Northern Expedition, and the results were so premature.

Yuchi Dun used this example to instruct Yuchi Youqi not to act too much, and Sima should be wary of his difficulties, but he should not be suspicious, causing internal strife to break out and be taken advantage of by outsiders.

After carefully reading it several times, Yuchi Youqi burned the secret letter and blew away the ashes. He felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy. He not only had to be on the outside but also on the inside, but also on the inside, but also on the inside, and on the inside, he could not do things too explicitly.

When you go into battle to kill the enemy, you will clearly distinguish between the enemy and us, but it is not easy to beware of the internal situation. People's hearts are separated from their belly. It is difficult to figure out whether those smiling faces are sincere or false in a short period of time.

Yuchi Youqi has read books and heard people talk about Gao Huan's experience of making a fortune. When this hero was under Erzhu Rong's command, he always showed his loyalty, so he deceived Erzhu Rong and Erzhu Zhao, who was in power after Erzhu Rong's death.

Even though Gao Huan raised an army and broke up with the Erzhu family, Erzhu Zhao didn't believe that his sworn brotherhood would do such a thing at first, and felt that there must be a misunderstanding. Yuchi Youqi really didn't know if there was such a person around him.

If so, he might take advantage of the situation and take advantage of Sima's failure, and finally get the profit and get the military power.

When he thought of this, Yuchi Youqi felt a headache, but he decided that no matter how difficult it was, he would have to complete the entrustment of his brother. The Yuchi family may not be prosperous, but it is certain that they will lose.

The Erzhu family has suffered internal strife and has made outsiders free of money. The Yuchi family must not repeat the same mistakes. Now the Yuchi family is in power, and the little one can only lie dormant. If the Yuwen family is successfully eradicated, then these people will not have the chance to become bigger.

But once the situation changes drastically, someone will inevitably be ready to move, so the key now is the gains and losses of the Xuanhu management in Yuzhou Prefecture.

Yuchi Youqi took out the map and looked at the location of Xuanhu. The government army was defeated in two consecutive games, but the situation in Henan had not yet lost control. Yuwen Wen claimed that he encountered the emperor in trouble in Xuanhu and called on the world to fight for the king. As a result, there were only a few responders, and all parts of Henan were waiting and watching.

All of this is based on everyone's awe of the absolute strength of the Yuchi family, but once Xuanhu cannot capture it for a long time, the imperial army that went south again was defeated by the other side, and then all the ghosts and monsters will jump out to make trouble.

Will the imperial army that went south again be defeated?
