Chapter 186: There Seems to Be a Turning Point (Part II)
When Yu Wenyu met Dugu Xin, he whispered: "Uncle Yue should not confess." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The word "confession" does not make Dugu Xin's heart comfortable, how can it be said that loyalty to Dawei is "sin"? However, Dugu Xin is a smart person, so he naturally understands Yu Wenyu's intentions.
Sure enough, no matter how Yuwen Hu questioned and how he provoked the law to persecute Dugu Xin, Dugu Xin flatly denied what he had admitted before. Yuwen Hu had no evidence, and he was helpless, and he was forced to be speechless by Zhu'er, Yuwen Jue also arrived very cooperatively, and a holy decree was about to release Dugu Xin.
On the way home, Ju'er repeatedly told Dugu Xin, first Taoguang and obscurity, now Zhao Gui's soldiers and horses are approaching, Yuwen Hu is naturally most afraid of the backyard fire, the fear of Dugu is the greatest, if you are caught a little bit, it will be the tragedy of Dugu's annihilation.
Dugu naturally understands in his confidence, and today is a nest for him, living so lowly and living in four places, he can't avenge the dead Emperor Wei Wen, where is he worthy of being a minister? But he thought again, if he stays in Qingshan, he will naturally have a chance for revenge in the future.
Yang Jian was reluctant to go back to Yang's Mansion with Mrs. Lu, firstly because Mrs. Lu still refused to accept Jialuo, and secondly, he was disgusted with Mrs. Lu and took the trouble to persuade him to take a leave of absence from Jialuo. Yang Jian followed back to Dugu Mansion, and Sha Hua and Li Xin returned to Li Mansion.
Everyone listened to Dugu Zhu'er's warning, died down, closed the courtyard door, and lived under the surveillance of the Yuwen clan with their tails between their legs.
The spies sent out by the Yuwen clan are returning more and more frequently day by day, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty above the court have no idea. There is no need for the past now, when Yang Zhong and Dugu Xin led their troops to besiege Chang'an nine years ago, they were still able to take Emperor Wei Wen as a hostage and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. And now that the "Son of Heaven" is gone, Zhao Gui believes that his beloved daughter died tragically at the hands of Yu Wenjue, and the hatred of the country and the family are counted together, and the spy reported that the morale of the Zhao family army is high and sharp.
Yuwen Hu regretted a little that he shouldn't have killed Yuan Bao Ju too early, and ran away from Queen Lu and Prince Yuanqin, there was no weight in his hand that could suppress Zhao Gui, Zhao Gui who had no scruples would definitely do his best to attack the city, and the reinforcements dispatched were not the opponents of the Zhao family's army, they were like turtles in the urn, and after a hundred days of imprisonment, they would definitely become prisoners under the ranks.
Yuwen Jue, who had no backbone, begged Yu Wenyu for help, and Yuwen Yu replied according to the instructions of Ju'er before the previous dynasty: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's humble opinion, even if we can guard for a hundred days, we must guard." Within 100 days, anything can happen, on the battlefield, time can be exchanged for fighters, we can wait and see what happens, just wait for the arrival of fighters. ”
Yuwen Jue is already a heart ape, looking at the waste-like civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, those useful and loyal ministers of the previous dynasty have already been excluded by Yuwen Hu, and those who are left behind are wine bags and rice bags that can only be shaved and patted horses. No one could come up with a better way, and Yu Wenyu's suggestion was just the best policy, so he followed him.
Zhao Gui adopted the strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, and only besieged Chang'an City without attacking, and the reinforcements sent by the Yuwen clan were eliminated by Zhao Gui's troops, until the Yuwen clan no longer had any reinforcements to count on, and some did not even dare to come to the rescue again.
Zhu'er secretly planned in her heart, this is a good opportunity to avenge the Yuan Bao Torch, as long as she can contact Zhao Gui, she will be able to easily annihilate the Yuwen Protector forces. As soon as Ju'er said her thoughts, she was opposed by Yu Wenyu.
If the Yuan Bao Torch of the previous emperor is still there, if the crown prince Yuanqin is still there, Yu Wenyu will do his best to assist the Great Wei. And now that the foundation of Great Wei no longer exists, it is tantamount to luring wolves into the house when Zhao Guili should be outside, and at that time it will be the destruction of the Yuwen clan.
Zhao Gui, who was eager to avenge his beloved daughter, had already spoken out, and if he caught the Yuwen clan, he wanted to destroy none of the nine clans. In the final analysis, Ju'er is still Yuwen's daughter-in-law after all, and the matter to the present field is all caused by the negligence of Yuwen Hu, and Yuwen Yu has the obligation to maintain the survival of Yuwen's family.
Juer pretended to agree to Yuwenyu's request, but she never regarded herself as a member of the Yuwen clan, and she was full of hatred for the Yuwen clan except for Yuwenyu. planned to quietly bypass Yu Wenyu and make other plans.
Zhao Gui surrounded Chang'an City but did not attack, and Jia Luo was relieved in his heart, at least he did not lose his life. However, a more serious situation soon became apparent, with no food and vegetable supply, and a terrible famine in the rich city of Chang'an, which changed people's minds.
For three consecutive nights, five or six thieves were caught in Dugu Mansion, all of whom sneaked into the warehouse to steal some of the remaining grain in Dugu Mansion. The family caught these thieves and wanted to teach them a hard lesson, but they were all released by Dugu Xin's order, and they were given a month's ration for each family.
Such good things spread all over Chang'an City, and there were more and more thieves who came to Dugu Mansion to steal grain, where did they really come to steal? Just make a fool of yourself in Dugu Mansion, let the family catch it, and then beg Dugu Xin for mercy, and then you can get rations.
Gradually, the food storage became less and less, and the people in Dugu Mansion could not even survive by drinking vegetable soup and gruel.
The malnourished Jia Luo, not only has a yellow face and thin muscles, but also annoys the green color of vegetables on his face, so he understands that Zhao Gui's move to besiege and not attack is more fierce than the misery of life. Listening to Gao Ying, who came back from outside, there were many hungry people on the street, and even some people who died of starvation had no time to bury them, and they were stolen overnight and made into human flesh soup. Women and children dare not walk alone on the streets at night, and if they are not careful, they may be taken away by the hungry and fed.
Garrow didn't dare to imagine the brutal images on the streets, remembering the killings on the city walls as a child, far less terrifying than the recent tragedies that made her sound terrified. War makes humanity so annihilated, she hates war so much, and often asks Dugu Xin and Gao Ying when they will end this siege battle.
On this day, Garo was invited by the house slave in Otsuka's house, saying that Ju'er missed Garo, and the sisters wanted to reminisce about the old relationship. Yang Jian thought it was some trick by Yuwen Hu, and he was unwilling to let Jia Luo go alone, but Jia Luo was still full of confidence in Zhu'er. Now that my sister has returned, with my sister's intelligence and resourcefulness, Yuwen Hu didn't dare to act rashly, so he went with confidence.
Ju'er personally made honey cake for Jia Luo, and said that they would go to the peach blossom hermitage outside the city to visit their mother Mrs. Cui together another day. Ju'er was relieved to hear that since the last time she left, Jia Luo had listened to her mother's words and worshiped the Buddha sincerely.
The two sisters chatted for a long time, and Ju'er excused herself to withdraw from the maids around her one by one, and quietly told Jia Luo the real purpose of inviting her to the house today. I wanted to ask Jia Luo to convey her thoughts, to join forces with Yang Jian and Li Xun to get rid of Yuwen Hu. (To be continued.) )
