Anlu, the palace, and the emperor Yuwen Gankeng was having a meal. The table was filled with dishes, exquisite Huangzhou porcelain, white background and gold edges, and beautiful backgrounds, filling with delicious delicacies.

Chopsticks and spoons are made of silver, while the food is cooked by the most famous chef in Anlu. Although the ingredients in Shannan are different from those in Hebei, they have the cooking skills of "frying". Therefore, Yuwen Gankeng, who has just come to Shannan, tastes delicious food with relish.

Of course, the most important thing is that he was in a good mood, otherwise he would not have a big appetite. When he was in Yecheng, there were many imperial meals in the palace, and some famous chefs carefully cooked them. However, Yuwen Gankeng was depressed and chewed in his mouth.

The emperor was having a meal, and someone was accompanying him. Naturally, he was not low in his identity: Ling Yu Wenming, the Minister of the Daxingtai of Shannan Road, and his eldest son Yu Wenli were here.

As the clan of the emperor, the father and son are of course qualified to attend the meal with the emperor. There are only three people in the room, and there is not so much red tape. They eat and talk while talking, and the scene is very harmonious.

Yu Wen Gankeng set out from Xuanhu, crossed Tongbai Mountain through Pingyang, Shenzhou, and headed to the territory of the Anzhou General Administration Office on the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain. As soon as the group came out of the mountain, Yu Wenming led civil and military officials to wait for a long time.

The officials at the scene, more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians, shouted "Long Live" together, and the sound was like a tide. Yuwen Gankeng was very excited and climbed onto the new imperial chariot and lined up the ceremonial guards to advance towards Anlu. Every time he went, a large number of people cheered in the streets. The scene was very grand and continued until he entered Anlu.

This is the glory that the emperor should have when traveling. However, when he was in Yecheng, Yuwen Gankeng, who was like a puppet, lived in the deep palace for a long time. It was rare to leave the palace. After leaving the palace, he could not help but go wherever he wanted. Those guards of honor were more like monitors to him.

Now that he came to Shannan, the feeling of embracing each other in front and behind made Yuwen Gankeng feel the real majesty of the emperor. Although he did not have the magnificent imperial guards and the civil and military officials, he was really excited to see the cheers and excitement of men, women, young and old on the roadside.

When he arrived in Anlu and stayed in the palace, the next day, officials from various prefectures and counties or their subordinates rushed to Anlu one after another to wait for his summons. Yuwen Gankeng had been meeting these officials for more than ten consecutive days. Although he was a little tired, he was very happy.

After going through a lot of hardships, he once thought of a question: Is this worth it?

There are countless lessons from the previous car. Yuwen Gankeng knew that even if he fled to Shannan, he would be very likely to become a puppet again. Just like the Emperor of Wei who fled to Guanzhong, he broke away from Gao Huan's control, but was regarded as a puppet by Yuwen Gankeng's grandfather Yuwen Tai.

Will King Qi Yuwen Liang walk on the old path of his uncle King Jin Yuwen Hu?

This kind of thing is not impossible, but Yuwen Gankeng has no choice. He is unwilling to hide his name and disappear into the world. He will escape to Guanzhong no matter what, and fight hard.

Since he arrived in Xuanhu and met King Yuwen of Xiyang, until he moved to Anlu, Yuwen Gankeng felt that the performance of his relatives was much better than expected. Regardless of the others, Yu Wenming welcomed him into Anlu with great fanfare, which made everyone know. What does this mean?

This means that the other party at least did not think about "isolating China and foreign countries".

Yuwen Gankeng was in Anlu and was able to meet any official who wanted to see him. Moreover, these officials came to the palace gate to ask for him. His people were registered and summoned, not Yu Wenming, and then he informed XXX to ask for him.

This is just a detail, but Yu Wen Gankeng can see from this detail that at least Yu Wenming did not treat him as a puppet, and was isolated from China and abroad. The outside news must be filtered in advance before it can be transmitted to his ears.

There were endless officials seeking to see the emperor. Yuwen Gankeng chatted with these officials and found out from a few words that the situation in various parts of Shannan was similar to what Yu Wenming said in the memorial in the past.

If an official had already spoken with Yu Wenming before meeting him, this situation was not impossible, but if all the officials had come to see him after talking to him, this situation was basically impossible.

Because the more people participate, the greater the chance of lies being misleading.

The father and son of Qi have been managing Shannan over the years, and they have written many memorials. Yuwen Gankeng remembers the situation in Shannan in the memorials clearly. If the officials who met him have different opinions, he will be confident to realize it.

A lie needs to be covered with several lies, and these lies need to be covered with more lies. Therefore, if a person lies, he can deceive everyone within a certain period of time, but he cannot deceive everyone forever.

This is the truth that Yuwen Gankeng himself learned. After meeting many officials in recent days, he sorted out an important message, that is, the words and deeds of King Qi and his son, and did not deliberately deceive him.

At least so far, the royal family has been kind to the emperor, so Yuwen Gankeng feels that it is worth it to take the risk of running south.

As for what will happen in the future, let's take one step at a time, and now, he is concerned about the situation of the battle.

When Yuwen Gankeng was in Xuanhu, he tried his best to call on soldiers and horses from all over the country to support the king. As a result, few responded. Later, the traitors brought the fake emperor to the army to fight in person and came in full force. In desperation, they could only change their original intention.

Yuwen Wen advised him to move to Shannan. Yuwen Gankeng originally planned to leave the next day. Later, under Yuwen Wen's persuasion, Yuwen Gankeng left Xuanhu and rushed to Shannan that day. As a result, not long after he left, Prime Minister Yuchi Dun's army approached Xuanhu.

In other words, if he leaves for one day, he may not be able to leave.

Since then, Xuanhu has been surrounded by the other party and has become an isolated city. Yu Wengankeng arrived in Anlu and heard Yu Wenming introduce the current situation. He knew that the situation in Shannan in Guanzhong had not deteriorated. His side had initially gained a foothold. He was relieved, but he had been thinking about Yu Wenwen who was staying in Xuanhu.

Yuchi Dun has more than 100,000 troops under his command. How long can the King of Xiyang, who is at an absolute disadvantage, defend Xuanhu?

Faced with the emperor's inquiry, Yu Wenming replied: "Your Majesty, the King of Xiyang volunteered to lead his troops to attack Xuanhu, and was ready to refuse to defend Xuanhu for a long time. I did my best to mobilize manpower and material resources to support Xuanhu, and Your Majesty also knew it."

"The treacherous minister besieged Xuanhu, and the situation in the city is unknown. However, our army's scouts tried their best to spy on their own and found some information one after another..."

"What do you say about the news? What's wrong with Xuanhu?" Yu Wen Gankeng heard that there was news from Yu Wenming, put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Our army scout disguised himself as he mingled into the enemy's barracks and found out that the enemy surrounded Xuanhu and first built a dam downstream to return to the water to irrigate the city. However, the Xuanhu defender was destroyed and suffered a lot of casualties..."

"When the enemy saw that it was not possible to build a dam downstream, they built a dam upstream, intending to release water to attack the city. At the same time, they took the opportunity to send troops to attack the city on a boat, and were also defeated by the defenders."

"The dam construction failed to attack the water, and the traitors became angry and urged all departments to attack the city day and night..."

What Yu Wenming said was true and false. His scouts risked their lives to sneak into the enemy's barracks to spy on the news. They learned that the other party had failed to attack the city, but he did not say the most important thing, that is, a few days ago, the enemy had piled up soil to attack the city, and was rushed out by the Anzhou cavalry in the city, killing it into a river of blood.

That night, the Anzhou army guarding the city succeeded in a sneak attack on the enemy's Xidaying, and two consecutive victories caused heavy casualties to the enemy. It also made Yuchi Dun give up the idea of ​​a hurry to attack and return to the water to flood the city again. It seemed that he would be siege for a long time.

Yu Wenming did not disclose this news to the emperor, because the secret of Fei Ge's letters must not be revealed.

Yuwen Gankeng heard the enemy's fierce attack on the city day and night, but was repelled by the defenders. While breathing a sigh of relief, he was still a little worried: "It is said that the lonely city cannot be defended. Even if the King of Xiyang and his soldiers are brave and good at fighting, if there are no reinforcements outside, it will never be a long-term solution. When will our reinforcements be able to rescue the siege?"
