Chang'an, Imperial Palace.
Yu Wenyong was sitting seriously, while Yu Wenhu raised his head and told him to put state affairs first.
Yu Wenhu wanted to go out in person this time. Although he himself was not very confident and was reluctant, things suddenly developed to this point, and it was impossible for him not to go.
He didn't dare to hand over so many troops to others, and he didn't even dare to divide his troops easily.
He was afraid that if his troops were divided, these generals would turn around and attack him.
Of course, he was also worried about the capital. He was not worried about Yu Wenyong, but he was worried that those old and immortal guys would kidnap or instigate Yu Wenyong to cause trouble.
Therefore, before leaving, he would repeatedly warn Yu Wenyong not to be deceived by thieves.
Yu Wenyong listened very seriously.
"Sir, are you leaving?"
"Yes, the troops will be dispatched in twenty days. Your Majesty will come to see the army off at that time."
Yu Wenyong nodded quickly, "This is natural."
"Sir, when I was chatting with Sanqi Yuwen Qianjia a few days ago, I heard him say that there was a war in Lingzhou and that Duke Sui died. Is this true?"
Yu Wenhu frowned immediately, "That's nonsense!!"
Yu Wenyong asked with some fear: "Sir, if the enemy has reached Lingzhou, should I take shelter to the south?"
Looking at the useless Yu Wenyong, Yu Wenhu was a little angry, "How can there be any reason in the world for an emperor to avoid the traitors and generals?!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The traitors are only outside Lingzhou. The famous generals who follow the Duke of the country will not be defeated. Your Majesty can sit back and relax!!"
Speaking of this matter, Yu Wenhu's expression became very bad. He didn't even bother to tell Yu Wenyong about important matters anymore. He said perfunctorily and stood up to leave, but Yu Wenyong stood up again and held him back.
His sleeve said, "Sir, is Lingzhou really okay?"
Yu Wenhu's face was obviously dissatisfied. He pulled out his sleeves and said coldly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. If the country is to be destroyed, I will die first."
He turned around and left, not giving Yu Wenyong a chance to speak.
Yu Wenyong froze on the spot, watching Yu Wenhu leave.
When Yu Wenhu walked out and no one was around in the room, Yu Wenyong's eyes became a little gloomy.
Yang Zhong was besieged in Lingzhou with a small number of troops and was in critical condition, but Yuwen Hu refused to rescue him.
Does this guy have to bring about the destruction of the country before he can feel at ease?
A Duke of Liang has already died, and another Duke of Sui has to be killed?
Yuwen Yong's fists were shaking. The current situation was all because of this guy.
He originally thought of hoarding strength in secret first, and when the time came and he had the strength to succeed Yu Wenhu, he would then take action to kill this guy, or simply wait for him to die of old age and take action against his stupid sons.
But now that things have developed, Yu Wenyong can't wait any longer.
Yongfeng is lost, Shiya is also lost, if Lingwu is lost, how can we govern the world?!
No, we must get rid of this piece of shit as soon as possible.
The elite soldiers and generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty allowed this bitch to cause such trouble and allowed Liu Taozi to take advantage!
Yu Wenyong squinted his eyes, filled with murderous intent, and was already pondering the big plan to kill the traitors in his mind.
Yu Wenhu got in the car and hurried back to the house. As soon as he entered the study, he couldn't help but started roaring, "Bring Qianjia to me!!"
The servants were frightened and hurried out.
A moment later, a man walked into the house. He looked at Yuwen Hu in fear and knelt on the ground.
"Father!"
"Who asked you to tell the emperor about Lingzhou?!"
"Beast!! Do you want to ruin my family's important affairs?!"
Yu Wenhu was furious and asked loudly.
The Sanqi who leaked military information that Yu Wenyong mentioned was none other than Yu Wenhu's youngest son.
Yuwen Hu snatched the whip from the slave's hand and began to beat his son. Yuwen Qianjia hid while defending: "Father, I didn't mean to do it. I just blurted it out when talking about military affairs."
At this moment, a person quickly walked into the house and stopped Yu Wenhu.
"Father."
Yuwenhu looked at his other son, Yuwenzhi, standing in front of him.
"Father, calm down, calm down."
After a few words of persuasion, Yuwen Hu just put away his whip and told his youngest son to get out, leaving Yu Wenzhi behind.
"Today, I went to see the emperor. When he talked about the incident in Lingzhou, he seemed particularly frightened and wanted to escape."
Yu Wenzhi smiled disdainfully, "Yu Wenyong has always been timid. It's not surprising."
"Father, this is Yang Zhong. This is a good time to get rid of him."
Yu Wenhu looked around, sat back in his seat, and asked his son to sit aside.
"It's quite difficult for me too."
"Lingwu cannot be lost, but if Yang Zhong can be defeated miserably, it would be a good thing. What do you think we should do?"
Yu Wenzhi raised his head, with the same arrogance as his father on his face, "Father, I am willing to lead the troops to Lingwu."
"oh?"
"Right now Yang Zhong is asking for support. If my father stands still, others will inevitably say something. Besides, Lingwu cannot be lost. Let me lead the troops. I will wait until Yang Zhong is about to lose his strength, and then send troops to defeat him.
Liu Taozi, if you repel him, you may be able to recapture Yongfeng!"
"But you have never fought before. How can you defeat Liu Taozi?"
"I've read a lot of art of war!"
Yu Wenzhi asked again: "My father has never fought in a war. Shouldn't he still serve as a general to attack Qi? Why can't I?"
Although Yu Wenhu had many shortcomings, they were all due to considerations. At least in other aspects, he was unambiguous. He immediately shook his head, "I dealt with Yang Zhong and others because they were unwilling to surrender. Now I am taking charge personally because I have no choice."
People can be used, but you are different. You have not studied and have no prestige. If the army is handed over to you, I am afraid that Lingwu will not be able to hold it, and your life will be lost there."
Hearing that his father looked down upon him so much, Yu Wenzhi was a little annoyed. He kept a straight face but did not dare to refute.
Yu Wenhu stroked his beard gently, "However, if I assign you someone who understands war, you can listen to him the whole time."
Yu Wenzhi was a little anxious, "Father! Why can't I control the army?"
"If you think so, then I won't allow you to go on the expedition."
"If you promise me and are willing to obey completely and not dictate what you do, I will let you go."
Yu Wen was helpless and finally lowered his head, "Wei."
"My son, this war can't be accomplished by reading a few books. Then, whether it's Yang Zhong or Liu Taozi, didn't they all go through countless battles to become famous generals? This time, follow me to learn more.
Whether it’s accumulating experience or not, fighting is easy to say, but it’s different when you actually do it.”
"only."
At this moment, Yu Wenhu was thinking about the candidates to send troops.
He is now preparing to use a large army to attack the enemy. The positions of the three armies have been determined and the personnel arrangements are full.
However, Lingzhou is extremely important and really needs someone with real military talents to go there.
Soon, Yu Wenhu had a candidate.
He issued the order, and soon, a tall man with a fierce general's demeanor came to the Duke's mansion and hurriedly paid a visit to Yu Wenhu.
This man's name is Hou Longen.
He is the current general of the Zhu Kingdom.
Seeing him, Yu Wenhu's expression became friendly.
Hou Longen is a veteran who has participated in many wars with Yuwentai. He once saved Yuwenhu's life, so he gained Yuwenhu's trust. Yuwenhu showed special preference to him and awarded him many rewards. Now he has reached the level of Zhuguo.
General.
"Meet the Duke of Jin."
Hou Longen paid homage to the other party, but there was some uneasiness in his eyes.
He hurriedly said: "I really don't know anything about my bad brother. I hope the Duke of Jin can see that I am honest."
Yu Wenhu laughed and said, "No problem, why should we be so restrained between you and me?"
"Don't I know you yet?"
"I don't care about your cousin anymore, but you have to tell him and stop him from talking nonsense again!!"
"only!!"
Hou Longen bowed his head again. His cousin Hou Zhi was also a general of the Pseudo Zhou Dynasty. However, in terms of appearance, military exploits, and moral character, he was much stronger than this cousin.
He knew that his cousin was highly respected by Yu Wenhu, so he asked Hou Longen to help him persuade Yu Wenhu, but how could Hou Longen dare to do such a thing? In the end, Hou Zhi had no choice but to go out in person and carry out dangerous persuasion. Sure enough, he was used by Yuwen Hu from then on.
Out of jealousy, Yu Wenhu even said in public that he wanted to kill Hou Zhi.
Hou Zhi was so worried that he couldn't afford to fall ill, and he is still on the bed today.
Hou Longen was very angry about this.
Why are you pretending to be virtuous here? Are you the only one who is a loyal minister?
It almost made me afraid.
Yu Wenhu's mind was not on this matter now, so he skipped it and talked about the matter in Lingzhou.
Yuwenhu hoped to let Hou Longen lead the army and his son Yuwenzhi to follow, so that the two of them could go to rescue Yang Zhong together.
Of course, the specific rescue method needs to be discussed carefully.
Chang'an, Imperial Palace.
The imperial army gathered together, and there were a cloud of fierce generals.
Yu Wenhu stood at the front, wearing armor, looking at the generals below. Even though they were not confident about this war, they were a little excited at the moment.
At this moment, there are more than a thousand generals and officers standing in the palace, majestic and invincible.
There are even more troops gathered outside, more than 200,000 troops. This is no longer a small fight.
Yu Wenhu stood at the bottom of the steps, fully armed, with his head lowered. Emperor Yu Wenyong stood at the top, looking at the generals gathered in the palace, he was also a little excited.
Under the government military system, there were many generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of them had good combat effectiveness. As long as there was a strong leader, great things could be accomplished.
Yu Wenyong looked at these people and felt more and more that Yu Wenhu was an eyesore.
But he still smiled and looked at the official on the side. The official walked forward quickly with an edict in hand.
"Otsuka killed the Duke of Jin!"
"Wise all things in the world, and benefit the world with Tao"
"Now I give you the yellow axe."
Yu Wenyong personally came to escort Yu Wen and gave him Huang Yue. Of course Yu Wen Yong was grateful and cried bitterly.
After performing the sacrifice, Yuwenhu commanded the army and attacked in the direction of Tongguan.
Yu Wenhu summoned the soldiers of the twenty-four prefectures in the world, and came out in a mighty manner. There were more than 200,000 troops, and the momentum resounded throughout the sky. These more than 200,000 troops, combined with the likes of civilians, were even more terrifying. The former army
They have almost reached Tongguan, and the rear army has not even left Chang'an.
It's really scary on such a scale.
The army began to station in Tongguan. There was a roar of people inside and outside Tongguan. When the Qi Guoying stronghold in the distance heard the sound, they began to break up.
In the Tongguan official office, Yu Wenhu sat in the upper position and looked at the many generals in front of him.
Mainly I looked at those confidants.
"Duke of Shu!"
"The end is here!"
Yu Chijiong strode out. He was extremely handsome. Even at his age, he looked extraordinary. He was much prettier than Yu Wenhu.
He is Yu Wentai's nephew. Among the many Zhou generals, he can be regarded as one of the most capable. He pacified Shu, and it was also because of his efforts in pacifying Shu that he gradually reached the position of Duke of Shu.
.
He fought swiftly and fiercely, was able to appease his soldiers, cherished his troops, and had a great reputation.
He is one of the few fierce generals in the Zhou Dynasty who is not too afraid of Yu Wenhu. Of course, he is not completely afraid.
"You are the vanguard, leading one hundred thousand troops to attack Luoyang!"
"only!!"
Yuchijiong saluted and then stood back to his original position.
Yu Wenhu looked at the second person again, "Young Master!"
"My subordinate is here!"
Young Master Yang Chu stepped forward and bowed to Yu Wenhu, who was also a strong general who had experienced countless battles and fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.
Yu Wenhu said: "You lead 30,000 elite troops and take a detour to attack Zhiguan!!"
Yang Cu raised his head and was extremely confident, "Don't worry, Lord, I have fought hundreds of battles with the Qi people and never lost a single one!"
"Okay, Master Yang is mighty!"
Yuwenhu looked at the last person again.
"General, you go to Xuanhu now and capture Qi people's Yu, Yong and other states."
General Quan Jingxuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Wei!!"
After making preliminary personnel arrangements, Yuwen Hu led many other powerful generals and began to advance slowly.
People from all walks of life have begun to move.
The war against the puppet Qi has officially begun.
The mobilization of soldiers and horses in Zhou Dynasty could not be hidden from the people of Qi. When Yuwenhu just left Chang'an, the people of Qi had already learned about the attack by Yuwenhu's soldiers.
Yecheng, Imperial Palace.
The hall was quiet. Emperor Gao Wei was sitting on the throne and couldn't help but yawned.
Things in the temple were really boring to him.
Originally he was unwilling to come out, but Lu Lingxuan persuaded him, saying that it would be good to even meet the ministers, so Gao Wei came out to participate in the court meeting.
But this court meeting was more boring than he thought.
The ministers have been sitting here for a long time, and no one has spoken.
He looked at the people in front of him.
Hu Changren's face turned pale, and he no longer had the majesty he usually had. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still frightened when he heard that the Zhou people came out in full force and 200,000 troops came to attack Da Qi.
Hu Changren had never fought in a war and had no understanding of military affairs. He needed help from everyone.
He looked at the many ministers in the court.
The expressions of the courtiers were similar to those of Hu Changren, either with their heads lowered or their eyes closed.
There is such a group of insects at the moment. Let them eat, drink and have fun. They are very good at it, but if they are asked to defend against the enemy, it is better to send Hu Changren's red general.
Let alone resisting the enemy, they couldn't even discuss how to send troops.
Only now did Hu Changren realize that something was wrong.
Did you drive him too harshly?
Although those people are a little rude to me, they can still give some advice when encountering such a thing.
He cleared his throat and looked helplessly at one of the ministers.
"General, what do you think we should do?"
Lou Rui was sitting among the ministers and had been keeping his eyes closed. When he heard Hu Changren asking, he opened his eyes slightly. He looked at Hu Changren and said, "I agree with your idea. How do you want to fight?
How to fight."
Hu Changren was speechless.
He doesn't know how to fight at all.
The court became silent once again.
Lou Rui remained silent, and Hu Changren said again: "General, I don't understand military affairs. This time the enemy sent more than 200,000 troops, all of them elite. I am afraid that the land of Heluo will be lost, so I ask the general to put national affairs first."
Lou Rui saw that the other party lowered his head and then said: "He Luo, don't worry for the time being. Dugu Yongye is a fierce general. He has many elites under his command, and he has successfully defended against the Zhou people many times. He will not be easily defeated. Don't worry.
Instead, there are two armies on the other side. I'm worried that wherever they go, officials will surrender and not resist."
"I am willing to lead the elite of Yecheng to stop Yang Fu and Quan Jingxuan."
"But here in Luoyang, Jinyang soldiers still have to be sent to rescue. Only King Pingyuan can go to Jinyang at the moment."
Hu Changren frowned again.
Jinyang Duan Shao and Lou Rui took charge of the army, what should they do?
He asked: "If you take away the Yecheng army, wouldn't the Qing capital be in danger?"
Lou Rui said calmly: "I only need 10,000 people."
"well."
Hu Changren had no choice but to nod his head, and asked people to draw up an edict, all in a hurry.
This funny look almost made Gao Wei laugh out loud.
"One more thing."
Lou Rui interrupted Hu Changren. In the past, Hu Changren would have been very angry, but now, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would have to wait until the fight was over.
Lou Rui said slowly: "Liu Taozi, the king of Pingcheng, is currently in the territory of the Zhou people. I heard that he is leading an army to attack the Zhou people's city."
"The food in the frontier fortress is not sufficient in the first place, and this army's crusade is even more expensive."
"The temple needs help. If King Pingcheng can make a breakthrough in Zhou territory, it will be great news for us. The enemy will retreat without a fight."
Hu Changren trembled.
"this"
"If Mr. Hu is unwilling, then I have no choice. Can Duan Shao and I repel this 200,000-strong army?!"
"If King Pingcheng retreats because he has no food and grass, what other solution is there?!"
Hu Changren hurriedly said: "Where is the money and food in the national treasury?"
"Isn't it just an equal split?"
"When we were in the local area, King Pingcheng and I settled the matter of money and food equally. Let me arrange this matter. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Hu Changren was completely discouraged and just nodded in a daze.
When Lou Rui walked out of the palace, he felt completely refreshed.
If you share it equally, you can make a fortune. The food will go to you, but the treasure will stay.
By the way, you can also clean up the people around you.
Chapter completed!
