Zhao Yuhuan's humiliating practice of hanging his body at the west gate of Chang'an stimulated Zhao Gui, and it was inevitable for Zhao Gui to send troops, and Yuwen Hu's plan for now was to find ways to mobilize troops and horses from all walks of life to support Chang'an City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But in comparison, except for Duguxin, Yang Zhong and Zhao Gui's soldiers and horses, which are strong troops, the rest of the soldiers and horses are embroidered pillows. Even these soldiers and horses personally mastered by the Yuwen clan may not be Zhao Gui's opponents. Although soldiers and horses can play an absolute suppressive role in numbers, if the two armies really fight, they will be evenly matched, and both will lose in the end.

After calculating the time, with Zhao Gui's marching speed, I am afraid that the troops will come to the city on the eighth day, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be in a hurry.

Yuwen Hu asked Dugu Xin, now that the war is imminent, Dugu Xin's soldiers and horses in Liangzhou want to help Zhao Gui recover the Great Wei? Or do you want to help the new dynasty put down the rebellion? It is difficult for Dugu Xin to be caught in the middle, if Dugu Xin is out of the family now, he will definitely raise troops to support Zhao Gui. And now, the whole family is within the sphere of influence of Yuwen Hu in Chang'an City, and although the thousands of elite soldiers mobilized by Li Xin before are displayed outside the city, they can only be a drop in the bucket.

Yuwen Hu's questioning Gao Ying had long expected that with Duguxin's temperament, in such an upright place, it was rare to say things against his will, if he was asked in a hurry and said words loyal to the previous dynasty, he was afraid that the whole plan would be ruined. Gao Ying and Yang Jian said that if they saw Dugu Xin hesitating, they would lie for Dugu Xin to show the position of Da Zhou.

Yang Jian is also an upright person, at this time, he was already very excited when he heard that Zhao Gui had raised troops, and he couldn't wait to fly to Zhao Gui's side now. Where do you remember what Gao Ying told him before the early dynasty?

Yuwen Hu's inquiring eyes couldn't wait to see through Dugu Xin's mind at once. If Dugu Xin's meaning was shaken at this time, it would be just a matter of being suspected by Yuwen Hu, if Yuwen Jue also realized that he Dugu Xin was not determined to defend the new emperor, he would definitely not rely on Dugu Xin from now on.

This is also the meaning of Yuwen Hu's killing two birds with one stone, if Dugu Xin shows his loyalty to Da Zhou in public, it would be good, if it was shaken, it would be good for Yuwen Jue to see Dugu Xin's true face.

Just when Dugu Xin was in a dilemma, Li Xin suddenly came out: "Your Majesty, the Great Sima Weiguo Gong and the ministers have agreed that they must do their best to raise troops to serve the king." Da Sima's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen by the sun and the moon. But Otsuka Zai wants to ask such a question, is he doubting Da Sima's loyalty to His Majesty? Or are you jealous of Your Majesty's reliance on Da Sima? As a courtier of the Great Zhou, if you are not loyal to the Great Zhou, do you have to have a heart of disobedience? ”

The word "heart of disobedience" was deliberately said by Li Xin to Yuwenjue, so that the new emperor who has not yet sat on the hot dragon chair is always vigilant, and it is his cousin Yuwenhu who really wants to replace him as the emperor.

Yang Jian had a new understanding of Li Xin, but he didn't expect this person to be so two-faced and able to deal with lies.

Yuwen Hu also had nothing to say, Li Yu not only resolved Dugu Xin's embarrassment, but also made Emperor Zhou Tian trust Dugu Xin even more: "I naturally believe in Da Sima's loyalty, if this is the case, it is better, please Da Sima immediately dispatch soldiers and horses from Liangzhou to Chang'an Qinwang." ”

"Your Majesty, never, never!" Yuwen Hu eagerly stepped forward to stop it. hating this incompetent cousin is so ignorant that dealing with a Zhao Gui's soldiers and horses is still overstretched, and then provoking Dugu Xin's soldiers and horses is tantamount to luring a wolf into the room.

"Why not? I just said yes. Yuwen Jue was obviously very impatient with this cousin: "I am not the abolition of the Yuan Bao Torch of Emperor Yonghou, let you command, could it be that you also want to treat me as your puppet?" ”

Hearing this, Yuwen Hu knelt down in fear: "The minister has no confidence, and the soldiers and horses of Da Sima Town guarding Liangzhou City are to guard against Qi in the east and Rouran in the north. Liangzhou City is a strategic fortress, if the enemy takes the opportunity to seize Liangzhou City, my Great Zhou River and Mountains are in danger! ”

Dugu Xin also said: "Your Majesty, what Otsuka Zai said is extremely true, if the soldiers and horses of the ministers in Liangzhou City return to Chang'an City to King Qin, Liangzhou City will be lost!" ”

"Wei Guogong's soldiers and horses can't work, can General Yang Zhong's soldiers and horses be?" Yu Wenjue asked Yang Jian instead.

Yang Jian was delighted, if he could let his father's soldiers and horses wade into troubled waters, he would fall into his arms, and he was about to go out to persuade his father Yang Zhong to lead the troops in person, but he was preempted by Li Xin: "Your Majesty, General Yang's soldiers and horses are guarding Jingzhou, and it is also a border fortress." Now that the Liang State is in turmoil, the generals who defended the city of Liang against Chen Baxian's troops are all looking forward to the wind and offering the city. He has coveted the city of Jingzhou for a long time, if there is no General Yang to defend it and lose Jingzhou, Chen Baxian can drive straight into the Central Plains! ”

Yang Jian suddenly felt that Li Xin, this kid was very annoying, and he, Yang Zhong's son, hadn't spoken yet, but he had stolen the limelight. Yang Jian, who was not convinced, still wanted to open his mouth to ask Emperor Zhou Tiandi, but Dugu Xin on the side saw Yang Jian's thoughts, and said: "Your Majesty, what Tang Guogong said is very true, and Yang Zhong's soldiers and horses cannot be moved. ”

Yuwen Jue was anxious: "Your soldiers and horses can't move, and his soldiers and horses can't move either." Who else can match Zhao Gui? Do you want to watch the destruction of the country I just created? ”

The ministers were silent, and the angry Yuwenjue retreated back to the palace.

Dugu Xin and Yuwen Hu glanced at each other and sneered at each other, each with their own thoughts, naturally knew that today's tacit understanding was not really for the sake of each other, but now the two have temporary common interests, that is, neither of them wants to let the arrival of this reckless Zhao Gui mess up their respective plans, but now they seem to be in chaos.

On the way to retreat from the court, Yang Jian was still angry with Li Xin, and asked Dugu Xin very puzzled: "Uncle Yue, such a good opportunity in the court today, the son-in-law originally wanted to persuade my father to take this opportunity to send troops to Chang'an, and together with General Zhao Gui, the Yuwen clan was wiped out, and it was also a good time for us to recover the Great Wei." Why did my father-in-law stop me? ”

Dugu Xin said earnestly: "Jian'er, you are on par with Yu'er in terms of bravery, but you are far inferior to Li Xun in terms of wisdom." If you still have such knowledge, you can only be a reckless man like Zhao Gui in the future, and you can be a general who charges into battle, but you can't become a handsome talent who strategizes. ”

"Please also ask Lord Yue-in-law to make it clear!" Yang Jian was very unhappy in his heart.

"Think about it, it's easy for the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou and Jingzhou to be transferred to destroy the Yuwen clan, but what about the consequences? We will face the threat of Qi in the east and Chen Baxian in the south, and the civil strife will be greatly damaged, and we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, even if we recover the Great Wei, it will not last long. In the immediate and long-term, you will weigh carefully! Duguxin patted Yang Jian on the shoulder. (To be continued.) )
