Zhou and Qi are hostile and feuding with each other, so they have always been at war with each other on the border between the two countries!

As early as seven years ago, the Zhou State united with the Turks in the north, joined forces to attack Qi, and launched the Battle of Luoyang! But in this battle, because of the high merits of the three heroes of the Qi State, Hu Luguang and Duan Shao's excellent military command ability, they defeated the attack of the 200,000 army of the Zhou State! Gao Changgong became famous in the first battle because he lifted the siege of Kim Yong Yong, and became the god of war in the hearts of the soldiers of Qi State!

And as the actual ruler of the Zhou dynasty, Yuwenhu is naturally responsible for this fiasco, which led to the prestige and prestige he has accumulated for more than ten years to fall to the ground, and there are constantly people in Zhou who question him and oppose him, he Yuwen Hu is not good, and he is not qualified to lead Da Zhou to continue to move forward, and he cannot make Da Zhou stronger!

So after a few years of cultivation and recuperation, through his vigorous development of the Zhou State, Yuwenhu felt that the current Zhou State, the strength and vitality had almost recovered, and he himself felt that he had to use a big victory to wash away the shame on his body, and where he fell, he would get up, and only in the place where he had suffered defeat would he regain success, and the world would know his Yuwenhu's ability.

And at this time, there was also a coup d'état in the south of the Chen State, and Chen Xu, who usurped the throne, also happened to have the heart of the Northern Expedition, and also wanted to use a big victory to consolidate his throne, so these two people who were both eager for victory formed an alliance with each other, and then Zhou and Chen joined forces to deal with the Qi State together!

Therefore, in this Yiyang War, it was Yuwenhu who sent troops to the east to attack Qi in order to save his prestige in Zhou, and then Yuwenhu sent Yu Wenxian, the prince of Qi, and Li Mu, the pillar state, to lead an army of 100,000 troops into Yiyang.

But it backfired, and this Yiyang battle still ended in the fiasco of the Zhou State!

There are two reasons, the first is that the court of the Zhou State is not united! First of all, the relationship between Yuwenhu and Yuwenyong is between the monarch and the minister, although now Yuwenyong is still pretending to be stupid and weak as always, but he has secretly contacted many people, including Yuwenmin, Wei Xiaokuan, Yu Yi, etc., ready to wait for the opportunity to eradicate Yuwenhu!

The second is that although the State of Qi has been tossed by several mentally ill emperors in a row, his military strength is still strong, and there are Hu Luguang, Gao Changgong and Duan Shao, the three most courageous generals at that time, under their leadership, although the Zhou army is superior in numbers, it is still not the opponent of the Qi army, and the battle with the Qi army is basically beaten!

Therefore, after the defeat of the Yiyang War again, the prestige continued to fall, and Yuwenhu, who was extremely depressed, was not allowed to negotiate a truce with Zhou Guo, and Yuwenzhi, who was stationed in Hangu Pass and served as a logistician, was also preparing to return to the court.

Yuwenzhi lost Yuwenhu's trust in him because of the previous defeat in the war with Chen Guo, in order to be able to regain Yuwenhu's trust and reuse, so Yuwenzhi strongly supported the military operation of Zhou's eastern expedition to Qi!

Yuwen Zhi originally wanted to perform in this Yiyang battle, lead the army to defeat the Qi army, and then capture Luoyang, open up the passage for the Zhou State to enter the Central Plains in the east, and make himself prestige in the Zhou government and the opposition through his outstanding military exploits, and grasp greater power! After all, he is also the son of Yuwentai, the ancestor of the Zhou State, and seeing that his three elder brothers have become emperors, of course he also has some thoughts in his heart, although the previous two elder brothers were killed by Yuwenhu, but since ancient times, who does not want to be an emperor!

However, he was loyal to Yuwenhu, but he only got the task of garrisoning Hangu Pass as a logistical officer, which made the ambitious Yuwenzhi a little unacceptable! And Yu Wenzhi has always regarded his fifth brother Yu Wenxian as his competitor, because Yu Wenxian has always been better than himself, no matter what he does, he is better than himself, and even everyone is an official under Yu Wenhu, Yu Wenxian's position is also bigger than himself, and this time he served as the commander of the army, which made Yu Wenzhi feel very jealous and resentful.

This, Yuwenzhi, who handled the major affairs of the army, came to the courtyard where Yuwenmin lived, on the one hand, he wanted to please Yuwenmin and let her say a lot of good things for herself in front of Yuwenhu; On the other hand, he wanted to talk to Xiao Yao, a fake monk, because he always felt that this young monk was a bit uneasy.

After listening to Xiao Yao's chicken soup for the soul, Yu Wenzhi boasted: "Master Sanzang is indeed profound, I listened to the master's Buddhism just now, and it suddenly made me feel cheerful, and the stuffiness that was pressed on my chest before has also disappeared!" ”

"His Royal Highness Guogong has won the award, what Sanzang just did was just some empty words to persuade people to be kind and comfort! If His Royal Highness wants to get real relief and completely eliminate the boredom in his heart, he still needs His Royal Highness to face his heart and see clearly what he wants in his heart, and how to get it, this is the most fundamental solution! Xiao Yao looked at Yu Wenzhi and smiled.

Sure enough, Yuwen looked at Xiao Yao with a dead look, his heart was full of shock, and he couldn't help but bow heavily to Xiao Yao, and said respectfully: "The master is really not an idle person!" Please forgive me for being stupid, and please speak up to the master to completely eliminate the boredom in my heart for me! ”

"Amitabha, as the so-called bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused! The reason why His Royal Highness Guogong is so sullen and anxious in his heart is because he feels confused about his future and cannot control his future. Xiao Yao still smiled.

"Who are you, are you the person of the Duke of Jin or the person of the imperial brother? What exactly are your intentions? Yuwen asked in surprise.

"Haha, His Royal Highness Guogong, please be calm, the monk is not a villain, but the monk has followed the master to travel around, and he has been to more places, and he has seen more people and encountered more things, so he naturally sees the problem more thoroughly than others!" Xiao Yao smiled without changing his face.

"What the hell does the master mean?" Yuwen looked at Xiao Yao coldly.

"It's not what a monk means, but what His Royal Highness means!" Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled: "Although the monk is just a monk, he also knows the truth that when people go to high places, water flows to low places!" Now the situation in the court of the Zhou State, can't His Royal Highness the Duke of Guo still see it clearly? I believe that His Royal Highness Guogong also saw this complicated situation clearly and didn't know how to choose, which is the root cause of His Royal Highness's upset! ”

Yuwenzhi was shocked again, the monk in front of him actually saw that he was anxious and troubled about whether he should continue to serve Yuwenhu or switch to his own brother Yuwenyong's camp, so he saluted Xiao Yao again: "Master Sanzang is really powerful, hit the nail on the head, and directly saw the root of the boredom in Xia, please make it clear to the master, in order to guide the maze, the current situation in the court is complicated, and the factions of all parties are secretly fighting, how should I choose?" ”

"The struggle between the DPRK and the DPRK, although complicated, is actually nothing more than the control of the regime! Today, the Zhou State holds great power is the Jin State Gongyu Wenhu, but no matter how powerful he is, he is still not the emperor, still not the righteous son of the Zhou State, if he forcibly seizes the throne, it will become a rebellious minister and thief who usurps the throne and rebels, and will be opposed by other Rao alliances, and Yuwenhu's current strength is not enough for him to deal with these opposing forces, which is the fundamental reason why he replaced the three emperors of the Zhou State in a row, but still did not dare to replace them! Xiao Yao had a head on his head.

"Listening to the master's tone, it doesn't seem to be someone from the Jin Guogong's side, is the master trying to persuade me to switch to my imperial brother's camp?" Yu Wenzhi looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously.

"In fact, the word persuasion should not be used, but His Royal Highness Guogong now has only one way to go to the emperor and serve the emperor!" Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled.

"Why? The Duke of Jin is the big mound of the Zhou State, commanding the twelve armies of the Zhou State, without his order, even the emperor cannot mobilize a single soldier! And everyone knows that Yuwenhu has a covetous heart for the throne, if I still go to the emperor's camp now, I'm afraid that it won't be long before this throne will be replaced again! Yuwenzhi sneered.

Xiao Yao shook his head, looked at Yuwen with sharp eyes, and said solemnly: "Then if His Royal Highness Guogong is still willing to continue to be loyal to Yuwenhu, then why is His Highness still so anxious and troubled?" Haha, I just did, people are going to go to a high place, His Royal Highness is a dragon, and he has the blood of Taizu flowing on his body, so naturally he will not be a mediocre person, willing to grovel and serve a bystander! ”

"The emperor of the Zhou State today is the half-brother of His Royal Highness the Duke of the Kingdom, and the relationship between His Royal Highness and the emperor is naturally closer than that of other half-princes, as the so-called blood is thicker than water, is His Royal Highness really willing to help Yuwenhu deal with his own brother?"

"If His Royal Highness is afraid that Yuwenhu is now holding the military and political power of the Zhou State, and is worried that when the time comes, Yuwenhu will suddenly attack the emperor and will affect the pond fish, then has His Highness ever thought about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots? You must know that you are the emperor's own brother, even if His Royal Highness does not have half brotherly affection for the emperor, nor does he have half a disagreement with Yuwenhu, but does His Highness think Yuwenhu will continue to trust you? ”

"Taking a step back, even if Yuwenhu still trusts His Highness, even if he takes the throne of His own brother at that time, he will not cut the grass and eradicate the roots of His Highness, but will His Highness still be reused by him? Can the title of title in the imperial court be further improved? Nepotism is a bad word, but it's actually something that everyone does! If Yuwenhu really ascends to the throne of Zhou at that time, I believe that all the important positions in the court of Zhou will be held by Yuwenhu's son! ”

"Therefore, no matter what reason His Highness still chooses to assist Yuwenhu, there will be no good result in the end, this has been decided from the moment His Highness was born as the emperor's own brother! So this is also the reason why Yuwenhu has always reused the five princes and not important His Royal Highness, because he has long had the idea of replacing the emperor, His Royal Highness and the emperor are brothers, Yuwenhu naturally has to be wary of His Highness! ”

Xiao Yao finished in one breath, and sure enough, Yu Wenzhi fell into contemplation, and his face changed again and again, floating uncertainly, it can be seen that his heart is also struggling fiercely!

"But my three elder brothers are all under the support of Yuwenhu to ascend to the scale, and the first two brothers are very dissatisfied with Yuwenhu's domineering dictatorship and style of controlling the court, and they also want to secretly get rid of Yuwenhu, but the result is that Yuwenhu preemptively, both brothers died under his poisonous hands, and all the old courtiers left by Taizu were cleaned up by Yuwenhu, but no one in the court dared to oppose Yuwenhu's approach, all of them retreated to protect themselves, so that Yuwenhu was even more unsightly, and only covered with his hands, What strength does this imperial brother of mine have to fight against Yuwenhu? It's a dead end! Yuwenzhi shook his head in disappointment.

"If you have been indifferent to such a rebellious behavior of Yuwenhu, this is a dead end! Whoever is the emperor does not have the strength to compete with Yuwenhu, just because he is the emperor, this is enough to fight against Yuwenhu! Although the power in the court is now controlled by Yuwenhu and his henchmen, Your Highness, you must remember one thing clearly, that is, if Yuwenhu is unfavorable to the emperor, then he is a rebel usurper, which is a great crime for the people to punish him! But if it is the emperor who attacks Yuwenhu, it is justifiable to exterminate the chaotic party and stabilize the situation, and those ministers of the DPRK and China who are waiting to protect themselves can only stand on the emperor's side! Although it is indeed Yuwenhu who holds great power now, what the emperor lacks is only an opportunity, an opportunity to seal Yuwenhu's throat with a sword, so the emperor will always be Yuwenhu swallowing his anger, even if he is stepped on by Yuwenhu, he is treated with a smile, in fact, this is the emperor's plan to keep his eyes on it! In order to accumulate strength, and then look for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Yubunto! Xiao Yao said solemnly.

"It's been twelve years since the imperial brother ascended the throne! Twelve years, the imperial brother is still the puppet emperor who was submissive to Yuwenhu, but Yuwenhu is as always in control of the government of the Zhou State, and he didn't dare to attack Yuwenhu for twelve years, is it that now the imperial brother suddenly has a chance to eradicate Yuwenhu? Yu Wenzhi still couldn't make up his mind, because the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.

"Then Your Highness, do you know how many people have joined the emperor's camp in the past twelve years? Some of these people are loyal and patriotic, but they can't see Yuwenhu's practice of holding their sons hostage and choose to be loyal to the emperor! There are also those who were forced into desperation by Yuwenhu, and finally survived and could only take refuge in the emperor, and fight to the death with Yuwenhu! There are also because of Yuwenhu's great rebellion against the king, in order to avenge his father's death, he endured humiliation and burden, lurking beside Yuwenhu, in order to find an opportunity to completely eradicate Yuwenhu! Xiao Yao said excitedly.

"Avenge your father? Could it be? Yuwen was stunned.

At this time, Yuwen Min, who had been hiding in the dark and eavesdropping on the words of the two, rushed out, and said to Yuwen with tears in his eyes: "Uncle Huang, although my father and you are half-brothers, they are both the princes of Taizu, and my father and uncle were both killed by Yuwenhu, are you really indifferent to this?" He can support you princes to ascend to the throne, but as long as you are disobedient, you will not hesitate to kill them, do you really want to watch him kill you princes of the previous emperor one by one? Now the emperor is the emperor's own brother, and I hope that the emperor can join us and help us eradicate the traitor Yuwenhu! ”
