Chapter 267: Make Up Your Mind
Yu Wenhu, who leans towards the government and the opposition, is already a dead man in his eyes? Hearing Xiao Yao say such arrogant words, except for Yu Wenmin's expression that still changed in conviction, the two brothers, Yu Wenyong and Yu Wenzhi, were stunned!
Yu Wenyong was even more suspicious: Although I talked to you just now, it makes me feel that you, a little monk, do see the problem more thoroughly than others, and you are indeed a little capable and powerful! But these powers are limited to lip service, you must know that if you want to kill Yuwenhu, you can't succeed by using your mouth, do you have such strength? Although you may be a little monk with peerless martial arts, and you can rescue Yuwenmin in the hands of that group of Qi thieves, but do you know that Yuwenhu's close escort team is much more powerful than that group of Qi thieves, if you are asked to assassinate Yuwenhu, it is estimated that you will be cut into pulp by his guards before you even touch Yuwenhu's clothes!
"It's actually very easy to kill Yuwenhu, the emperor actually has a lot of opportunities to kill him, but now he hasn't done it, it's nothing more than worrying that after killing Yuwenhu, it will cause chaos in the court, but at that time, he couldn't control the scene, so he kept hesitating and waited for the best time!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"What the master said is indeed reasonable, since the master said that Yuwenhu is already a dead person, does the master already have a perfect plan?" Yu Wenyong asked curiously.
"There is no perfect way to grasp these statements! Because even if your plan is well planned, when it comes to execution, there will be many unpredictable situations that will lead to changes in the plan! So as long as there is firm determination and courage to break through the cauldron, then this plan is already half the battle! So the emperor is asking me if I have a foolproof plan, in fact, I should first ask myself if I have the courage to take a desperate gamble! Xiao Yao asked rhetorically.
"The emperor has been in obscurity for the past 12 years, enduring humiliation and burden, in order to eradicate Yuwenhu in one fell swoop, of course he has firm determination and incomparable courage!" Yuwen said first.
"Does the emperor have the consciousness of death?" Xiao Yao asked coldly.
"Bold! Sanzang, how can you say such a rebellious thing! How can you curse the emperor! Quickly apologize to the emperor, you are just a quick mouth, and the words are inappropriate, and I beg the emperor to spare you for the death penalty! Yu Wenzhi hurriedly scolded loudly, but his eyes kept giving Xiao Yao a look.
Xiao Yao ignored Yu Wenzhi's hints, continued to take a step forward, and said coldly to Yu Wenyong: "Eradicating Yuwen Hu is not playing a child's game, this is a war where either you die or I die!" The emperor actually knows very well that now Yuwenhu holds the power of the army, and without his orders, the emperor can't mobilize a single soldier, and the forbidden army, which is responsible for guarding the palace and protecting the emperor's life, is also led by Yuwenhu's son Yuwenzhi. I think this is the fundamental reason why the emperor has never dared to make a move on Yuwenhu! Therefore, eradicating Yuwenhu is a game that bets on life, and if it doesn't succeed, it will become a benevolent! ”
"So I have to ask clearly, does the emperor have the consciousness of death? If there is, then do a big job, even in the face of death, we must let go of our hands and feet and move forward! If not, in the face of danger, greedy for life and fear of death, indecisive, afraid of retreat, then not only will you be in danger, but even your companions will be in danger! If this is the case, it is better to continue to be the puppet of Yuwenhu and be at his mercy, so that you can enjoy a few more years of glory and wealth and a comfortable life, after all, it is better to die than to live! Xiao Yao said fiercely, with sharp eyes, staring at Yu Wenyong, waiting for him to make a final decision!
Yuwenyong has indeed been hesitating, because he knows that it is actually very easy to kill Yuwenhu, and he has been pretending to be stupid all these years, making Yuwenhu completely unwary of him, so as long as Yuwenyong carries a dagger on his body, he can kill Yuwenhu, who is nearly sixty years old, at any time!
It's just that Yuwenyong has been afraid that he will not be able to control the situation after Yuwenhu's death, and he is not even sure that he will survive, because the entire palace forbidden army is still in the hands of Yuwenzhi, in case he shouts the excuse of avenging his father, leads the troops to wash the palace in blood, and then takes the opportunity to ascend to the throne, then he will be in vain to make a wedding dress for others!
Yu Wenyong's heart has been struggling now, and there is a trace of amazement: I can't imagine that this monk can see the root cause of his failure to do it at a glance, and now his eyes are so sharp, he has been staring at himself, so that he can't escape at all!
Finally, Yuwen Yong took a deep breath, his eyes became firm, and he also showed a fierce light, and said coldly: "Master Sanzang is right, if you want to attack Yuwen Hu, you must have the consciousness of death, once you act, there is no room for maneuver, even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of you, you must go forward bravely!" ”
"Good, good, it seems that the emperor has made up his mind to make a move against Yuwenhu, congratulations to the emperor! Only if the emperor has a firm determination, and if we plan carefully, we will definitely be able to eradicate Yuwenhu in one fell swoop! Xiao Yao clasped his hands together and smiled.
"The master's opinion is, when should we do it?" Yu Wenyong asked.
"Now in the Yiyang battle between Zhou and Qi, the army of Zhou has suffered a crushing defeat, and many generals in the army are very dissatisfied with Yuwenhu's wrong command! In addition, there were already many ministers in the court who expressed their opposition to this expedition to the Eastern Expedition to Qi! So at this time, it is the time when Yuwenhu's reputation in the court is the lowest, so we must seize the opportunity, and during this time, make a decisive move and kill Yuwenhu by surprise! Xiao Yao said fiercely.
"Just this time? Wouldn't it be too rushed? We haven't planned it yet, and we don't know which side they support many ministers in the DPRK and China! And the most important thing is Yu Wenzhi, who controls the forbidden army, as long as he doesn't solve it for a day, we can't attack Yu Wenhu at all! Yu Wenyong shook his head and said, looking completely unconfident.
"How did the hearts of the ministers choose? We can find one thing at random, and then work against Yuwenhu, and we can test the position of these ministers! And now that the New Year is approaching, I believe that Yuwenhu is also busy trying to win over relations with other ministers, at this time, the emperor can also pay more attention to the ideological trends of the ministers in the court, for example, let Wei Guogong visit these ministers more and test their tone! Xiao Yao suggested. All right
"This is on me! Now that I am still a close confidant of Yuwenhu on the surface, it is most suitable for me to visit these ministers, and it will definitely not arouse Yuwento's suspicion! Yuwen patted his chest and said.
"Wei Guogong is so confident that he will be able to complete the task and find out the inner thoughts of these ministers! As for Yu Wenzhi, although he is the commander of the palace forbidden army, in my opinion, the entire palace forbidden army should not all listen to him, and some generals should still be loyal to the emperor and oppose Yu Wenzhi! Xiao Yao looked at Yu Wenyong and smiled.
Yu Wenyong knew what Xiao Yao meant, and also smiled, but the smile was a little embarrassed and helpless and said: "The forbidden army I brought out today is actually not completely obeying my orders, before leaving the palace, those generals should have asked Yu Wenzhi for instructions, just because I said that the main purpose of coming to Fuying Zen Academy this time is to vent my anger for Minmin, Yu Wenzhi did not have too many doubts!" ”
"But at least now they still obey the emperor's orders, so I'm sure that although these forbidden army generals are very obedient to Yu Wenzhi on the surface, they actually belong to the grass on the wall, and after they gain power over there, they will take refuge over there! So we just want to decisively attack Yuwenhu, so that they are flustered and at a loss for a while, then at this time we are recruiting them in the name of the emperor to deter them, then they will definitely not follow Yuwenzhi with all their hearts! Xiao Yao analyzed.
"The master has a point! Yu Wenzhi is a mediocre talent, usually the situation is arrogant and domineering, he will only be happy, and he will either beat or scold his subordinates, and he has long lost the hearts of the people! So as long as we act fast and ruthlessly, even if they are not on our side, they should wait and see what happens, and it will not be against us! But Yu Wenzhi has been in control of the palace forbidden army for several years, and I believe that he has also cultivated some subordinates who are desperate for him, and even dead soldiers, these people we can guard against them! Yu Wenyong frowned and said worriedly.
"Yuwen Zhiyou obeys his palace forbidden army, but we also want General Yang and his patrol battalion in our hands! Although the patrol battalion and the palace forbidden army are not at the same level at all, after all, it is also a team with a bit of strength, and when we attack Yuwenhu, we will arrange them outside the palace, which can not only meet us at any time, but also for those henchmen of Yuwenhu who have become leaderless at that time, the patrol battalion with many people can also play a certain deterrent role! Xiao Yao encouraged Yu Wenyong and said.
"What are we going to do with the army? Although the army has just been defeated, morale is low, and the generals are dissatisfied with Yuwenhu, these should not be enough for these generals to stand on our side, like Yuan Xin, the general of the Zhu State, and Wang Xiong, the general of the Pillar State, they also have a lot of men and horses in their hands, and they are loyal henchmen on Yuwenhu's side, I believe that even if Yuwenhu has been killed by us, they may not necessarily submit to us, and even take the opportunity to rebel! Yu Wenyong found another hidden danger, and he still looked worried.
"This emperor can rest assured, because we have Wei Guogong and the 30,000 troops he brought back from Hangu Pass, and they are now stationed outside Chang'an City! And they don't know that Wei Guogong has been loyal to the emperor now, if these army generals really want to use the army to rebel, then they will definitely seek Wei Guogong to discuss, then we will know their plans well, and it will be easier to deal with them! Xiao Yao pointed at Yuwen and smiled.
"Haha, it's amazing! It seems that the master has indeed thought it through! Good! Then we will set the plan to assassinate Yuwenhu after the opening of the dynasty after the new year, and we will wait for the opportunity to move at that time! If we can eradicate Yuwenhu in one fell swoop and completely clean up his henchmen this time, then the three of you will make a great contribution to me! When the time comes, high-ranking officials and lords, glory and wealth will naturally be inexhaustible! Yu Wenyong clapped his hands and said excitedly.
Then his eyes kept staring at Xiao Yao, and he suddenly smiled: "I don't know what reward the master wants to get after the matter is completed?" In this matter, the master made me firm in my determination to kill Yuwenhu, and put forward a detailed plan and ways to deal with Yuwen's various counterattacks, and the credit can be said to be the greatest! Such a meritorious hero, I must reward you well! ”
"But" Yuwenyong suddenly changed his words, approached Xiao Yao, and whispered in his ear: "What makes me feel very strange is that Master Sanzang, as a monk, should see through the red dust and ignore mundane things, but now why does he want to help me eradicate Yuwenhu?" And Master Sanzang seems to have been planning all this when he came back with Wei Guogong, plus he rescued the princess from the thieves of Qi State alone, and he was both wise and brave and so young, he was simply a genius! In today's world, in addition to the master, there is also a genius general of Chen Guo, who helped Chen Jun recapture Xiao Yao Xiao Shilang of Huainan from Qi State within half a year! It is said that this Xiao Shilang, like the master, is only sixteen years old now, and according to the latest secret report, after this Xiao Shilang escaped from Luoyang City surrounded by Gao Changgong, the last place where Xiao Shilang appeared was also the area of Swallow Mountain, which was the place where the master saved the princess, there would be no such coincidence in this world, right? ”
"Sometimes it's so coincidental that when you walk down the street, bird droppings fall on your head! In fact, is my identity very important to the emperor? I am a monk who travels the world, or the world-famous Xiao Shilang, what difference does it make for the emperor in the current situation? If you can help! Xiao Yao also laughed quietly.
After Yu Wenyong saw that Xiao Yao no longer concealed his identity and acquiesced to his identity, he said coldly: "Then as General Chen Guo, why do you want to help me eradicate Yuwen Hu?" Do you want to see turmoil in our Zhou Kingdom, so that you Chen Kingdom can take advantage of it? ”
"Hehe, does the emperor really want to listen to the truth? If I think that this Yuwenhu is more capable of governing the country than the emperor, and the Zhou State is becoming stronger and stronger under his governance, which is becoming more and more unfavorable to our Chen State, so if I help the emperor regain power, this Zhou State under the emperor's governance is easier for us Chen to deal with, does the emperor approve of this reason? Xiao Yao smiled cheaply.
"You!" Yu Wenyong suddenly shouted, so frightened that Yu Wenmin and Yu Wenzhi next to him couldn't help but tremble!
Just now I saw that Yu Wenyong, who was the emperor, actually took the initiative to approach this Sanzang monk regardless of his identity, and the two even whispered, which made Yuwen Min and Yu Wenzhi feel very curious, as if the two of them seemed to be very familiar, and now Yu Wenyong was suddenly furious, but it scared the two outsiders a little overwhelmed.
"Humph! Are you provoking me? I heard that you are a genius with unique skills, only leading an infantry battalion of 1,000 people, you can easily capture Xuyi City, which is defended by tens of thousands of troops, such a strong general, but you are a person from Chen Guo, aren't you afraid that I will kill you now and clear up the troubles for our Great Zhou? Yu Wenyong suppressed his voice and said fiercely.
"Hehe, if the emperor wants to kill me, you don't have to get so close and talk to me in such a low voice! Alas, don't move, or you'll get even more attention! Besides, you big Zhou? Now that Yuwenhu is not dead, do you have a share in this Emperor of Zhou? Xiao Yao smiled brightly.
Sure enough, Yu Wenyong was so stunned by Xiao Yao that he had nothing to say.
