Chapter 226 Reality

In the dormitory, Yuwen Gankeng was having a discussion with Yuwen Wen. Just now, the two staged a complaint outside the gate. The king and his ministers were both slapped three times, and three blood marks were still on their backs. At this time, he was wearing a robe that was not suitable and offered advice to the emperor.

Just now, Yuwen Wen won the emperor's personal pardon for his wife and children in full view, and next, he had to do another important task.

"I want to move to Anlu? Is the battle situation so critical?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Yuchi Dun went south this time, not only did he lead 100,000 troops, but he was a real deal, but the Bozhou army in the east and Yangzhou army in the southeast were also coming in full force. Yuzhou is different from Guanzhong, and there are no strong guards such as Tongguan. Now the enemy and us have a huge gap in strength, and the hanghu is as dangerous as if it is buried..."

"Now Yuchi Dun has just arrived in Changshe and is still placing troops. After he has arranged a plan, he will send cavalry south to a distance of only 200 miles. It will be easy for the enemy cavalry to attack Xuanhu City."

"At that time, even if I do my best to escort Your Majesty into the south of the mountain, it will probably be much more difficult."

Yuwen Wen this time is different from last time. He advised the emperor to enter Shannan as soon as possible and not to stay in Xuanhu to take risks, because there is no need to do it.

At the beginning, he advised the emperor to stay in Yecheng to call on soldiers from all over the country to support the king, disrupt the situation in Henan as much as possible, reduce the military pressure for Shannan, and also to strive for a breakthrough. Yuwen Wen did do his best to do this.

In a row, Heba Fuen, Pan Zihuang, and Yuwen Wen used two great victories to prove to the emperor that what he said was not false, and indeed lifted the siege of Fangcheng. He also won time and issued a manifesto to call on soldiers from all over the country to serve the king.

However, the reality is cruel: not many people responded to the call and set off to fight for the king.

As a result, the emperor was very embarrassed, and Yuchi Dun's actions were quick and decisive. Not only did he personally lead the army to the south, but he also brought Yuwen Weicheng to a "in-person expedition" without giving Yuwen Gankeng more time to "confusing people's hearts."

People are very realistic. In the current situation, when facing the two emperors, as long as they are normal in mind, they will definitely regard Yuwen Weicheng as the righteous. Yuwen Gankeng, who is in the Xuanhu, is increasingly unwilling to care about it.

Unless Yuwen Wen can show his power and annihilate Yuchi Dun's army, everyone will naturally come to Xuanhu to save the king, but this is not realistic, because the troops of the enemy and us are very different, Yuwen Wen is not an invincible war god.

If the war cannot be won, everything is empty. The emperor stays in Xuanhu, which will not help change the situation of the war. Instead, it will make Yu Wenwen and other generals reluctant. Therefore, Yu Wenwen begs Yu Wen Gankeng to go to Anlu, Shannan to make everyone feel at ease.

Yuwen Gankeng understood the truth about Yuwen Wen, but he was really unwilling to accept it. It was not because there were not many people who responded to the king, but because he didn't want to leave in such a shame.

In his opinion, Yuchi Dun brought the fake emperor to the army in person, but his true emperor fled. In the eyes of the world, he was a guilty fake emperor. When he thought of this, Yuwen Gankeng was unwilling to accept it.

He was lucky before, thinking that Yuwen Wen was so good at fighting. Since he had won two consecutive victories, perhaps it might be possible to defeat Yuchi Dun this time?

But by marking the enemy's position on the map, Yuwen Gankeng knew how many enemies were so small that we were. After pondering for a long time, Yuwen Gankeng sighed and asked, "King of Xiyang, in your opinion, when will I set out to Shannan?"

"Your Majesty, the enemy is approaching, and the situation changes rapidly. Changshe arrives at Xuanhu about 200 miles, and Xuanhu goes to Shenzhou for more than 200 miles. It is better to go to Shannan early rather than late..."

"There is no danger to guard the territory of Yuzhou. If Your Majesty moves too slowly, he may find his whereabouts for the enemy's ranger. At that time, it may be extremely dangerous..."

Yuwen Wen said this and stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am staying at Xuanhu. No matter what, I will not let Yuchi Dun succeed!"

"Will the King of Xiyang go back to Shannan?"

"Yes, Xuan Hu must not give it to the traitor so easily!"

After hearing Yu Wen Wen's answer, Yu Wen Gankeng was a little surprised. He thought that Yu Wen Wen would withdraw from Anlu, but he just left first and then left, but the other party actually wanted to stay behind Xuanhu.

"The King of Xiyang just said that the treacherous minister is powerful, so why should he stay in Xuanhu?"

"There is one more day to guard the Xuanhu, and the other day will be more likely to breathe."

"But, however, there is flat ground around Xuanhu. Even if there is Ru River surrounding it, and after being surrounded by enemies, there will be no reinforcements outside, it will sooner or later fall!"

Yuwen Gankeng had never fought a war, but he thought that the terrain around Xuanhu determined that the defenders would not last long if there was no foreign aid. Yuwen Wen smiled slightly and began to tell the allusion: "Your Majesty knows the battle between Xuanhu in Wei and Song back then?"

"Uh, I don't know."

"Your Majesty, it was a war between the army and the emperor..."

During the Yuan Jia period of the Liu Song Dynasty, Emperor Liu Yilong of Song Dynasty was obsessed with the Northern Expedition and sealed the wolf's servants, while Emperor Tuoba Tao of Wei Dynasty was obsessed with going south to drink horses and Yangtze River. Both sides wanted to do something and inevitably a full-scale war broke out.

At the end of the Yuan Jia period, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops advanced south, and Tuoba Tao personally led 100,000 people to attack Xuanhu, a major land in Henan. However, the chief general of Xuanhu of Song State was Chen Xian, who took office as a temporary officer. There were only more than a thousand Song troops in the city.

Tuoba Tao did not take the Xuanhu Song army seriously in the battle against the city with huge disparity in troops. However, Chen Xian, the army joined the army, led more than a thousand soldiers to defend the city with the people in the city, and defended it for more than 40 days.

The Wei army, who thought that Xuanhu was a fish belly, could not eat Xuanhu even after knocking off the front teeth. Seeing that his soldiers had lost their spirits, the Song army reinforcements were approaching again, and in desperation, they had no choice but to head north.

"Your Majesty, Tuoba Tao had 100,000 people, and Yuchi Dun had 100,000 people. What Chen Xian could do back then could also do in the past!"

After hearing Yu Wenwen's allusion, Yu Wen Gankeng couldn't help but responded with confidence, but he always felt something was wrong: Xuanhu City is not Yubi City. Just leaning against the city wall, more than a thousand warriors and people in the city could withstand the attack of 100,000 enemy troops?

Did the troops get the wrong force?

Yuwen Gankeng thought so, but he was more worried that the present is different from the past: "King of Xiyang, the Wei army did not have a catapult to the sky, and the thunder was thundering now. Can the Xuanhu hold on to it?"

"Your Majesty, of course, you cannot defend the city to the death. Even if the enemy troops are at the city, I have good plans to defend the city!"

Yuwen Wen's answer was loud and without any falsehood. His wife and children were only two hundred miles away. There was no reason to retreat back to Shannan without fighting in a battle. Yuchi Dun's power was absolutely true, but he felt that he had no chance.

Even if the chance is small, he still needs to take a try.

Seeing Yuwen Gankeng pondering, he struck while the iron was hot: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not joke about my life. Please make a decision early and move to the south of the mountain."

Yuwen Wen's confident look made Yuwen Gankeng want to stay, but not many people responded to the cruel reality of serving the king, making him realize that it didn't seem very useful to stay.

If we don’t change the strength comparison between Yuwen and Yuchi, we will watch it on the wall...

Yuwen Gankeng thought about it, his mouth was bitter, he was silent for a moment, and nodded: "Since that's the case, I will set off to Shannan tomorrow!"
