Chapter 290: Rising and Descending

"Xiao Shilang? It turned out that His Majesty already knew that he was Xiao Yao and Xiao Shilang, the genius generals of the Chen State who defeated the Qi army! Yuwen Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise.

Because although Xiao Yao has been in Chang'an City for more than three months, he and Yuwenyong have only met once in Fuying Zen Temple, and they can't imagine that the two will meet for the first time, and Yuwenyong will be able to recognize Xiao Yao's true identity, and Yuwenzhi himself has always thought that Xiao Yao is a real little monk, if he hadn't told himself his true identity, it is estimated that he would still be kept in the dark by Xiao Yao!

It seems that this brother who has been pretending to be stupid is really not simple! Yuwen thought secretly.

"When you found Min Min and this so-called Sanzang monk in Yanzi Mountain, didn't you suspect that this Sanzang monk of unknown origin was Xiao Yao Xiao Shilang who fled from Qi to Zhou?" Yu Wenyong asked rhetorically.

"I had doubts, but at that time, I saw that this Sanzang monk talked extraordinarily, and he said all the truthful Buddhism, even some Buddhist masters could not compare to him, and he did not have the temperament of those murderous soldiers on the battlefield at all, which made me not believe that he was a little monk who had been a monk since he was a child! If he hadn't told me his true identity yesterday, I wouldn't have believed that he was the famous Chen Guo's general Xiao Shilang! Yuwen said with an embarrassed face.

"Judging from the fact that he casually says that he is a subtle Dharma, he is indeed a profound master, and it is estimated that even Monk Zhixuan can't talk about him! But don't forget, we mentioned in the information we sent back from Jinling City that this Xiao Shilang is a man of the year in Jinling, and even the famous writer Master Baoliang in Jinling City was once defeated under his hands! And since the beginning of Chen's Northern Expedition to Qi, we have been collecting war reports from the two countries, and the information about this Xiao Shilang is always surprising, which shows that this Xiao Shilang is indeed not a mediocre person, if we still look at him with ordinary eyes, then we can only be deceived by his appearance! Yu Wenyong sneered.

"That's right, this Xiao Shilang is really powerful! When I rushed to that valley with the forbidden army, it was like hell, the ground seemed to have been burned by fire, there was scorched black everywhere, and there were countless dead and wounded, and there were blood stains and stumps everywhere, I really don't know what kind of spell this Xiao Shilang used to make this elite guard of Yuwenzhi become such a miserable situation! This Yu Wenzhi is also a corpse wilderness, he has already died of exhaustion, and his whole body is scorched and bruised, and there are wounds of different sizes all over his body, one of which is fatal is a small blood hole on his forehead, I don't know what weapon Xiao Shilang used to cause it, but he pierced Yu Wenzhi's head entirely, and his brain also flowed to the ground! I couldn't imagine that Yu Wenzhi, who was invincible yesterday, died like this in the end, compared to Ling Chi, it was simply too much! Yu Wenzhi recalled that picture, and now he feels a little disgusted.

"Presumably, these are the weapons called gunpowder that Xiao Shilang used to deal with the Qi army mentioned in the intelligence! Today outside the Hanren Palace, the small iron ball that Min Min used that suddenly exploded and was amazingly powerful should be the weapon made by Xiao Shilang! An iron ball the size of a fist can have such power, no wonder this Xiao Shilang can capture Xuyi County, which is garrisoned by tens of thousands of people, with only a thousand people! What a terrible rival, and now he has fled! Let the tiger return to the mountain today, and he will definitely be a big disaster for our Zhou country in the future! Yu Wenyong shook his head and sighed.

"No wonder he only gave Min Min a small iron ball of this kind at the beginning, I asked him for a few more, but he refused to give it, because he was afraid that we would learn these weapons of his! This Xiao Shilang is really too treacherous! Your Majesty, or I will immediately lead the soldiers and horses to chase Xiao Shilang back! Then we will be able to get these magical weapons of his, and then we will not be able to dominate the world in the Great Zhou! Yuwen said pleadingly.

"It's too late, they can't catch up, according to the direction they fled, they wanted to escape back to Chen Guo from Wuguan, and now they should have arrived in Shangluo County, and they also have Yuwenzhi's token in their hands, no one should dare to stop them along the way! The plan is so thorough, it seems that this Xiao Shilang has long been wary of us that we will attack him, so he told us that he would lead Yu Wenzhi outside the city to assassinate, in fact, with these gunpowder weapons in his hands, Yu Wenzhi will inevitably die wherever he is! Doing it outside the city is just to facilitate Xiao Shilang's escape! And Yu Wenzhi has a thousand elite guards around to protect him, and he can't survive, how many people do you have to bring to catch up with Xiao Shilang and catch him? Let the tiger return to the mountain, let the tiger return to the mountain, the most important thing in front of us now is not Xiao Shilang, but to stabilize the government of our Zhou State! Yuwen rubbed his head and said, this thrilling event happened today, and it also consumed a lot of Yuwenyong's energy!

"Your Majesty is too worried, now that we have the forbidden army of the palace in our hands, and the patrol battalion of Yang Jian is also our people, who else in the entire Chang'an City dares not to listen to Your Majesty's words? Moreover, we have also recovered the talisman from the Jin State Mansion in Yuwenhu, and the army outside the city is under our control! Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have now completely mastered the military and political power of our Great Zhou! Yuwen said with a flattering face.

"Hehe, you underestimate those wall grasses in Chang'an City too much, now that we are in power, of course they don't dare to have any objections, but we still have to be careful of these people! However, this time Yang Jian and his patrol battalion did a very good job, blocking all the gates of Chang'an City, so that none of the people inside could escape, you must know that generals like Yuan Xin and Liu Yong also have a certain amount of power in the army, if they escape from the city and flee to the army, maybe they will pull up the army to counterattack Chang'an, and then the consequences will be unimaginable! And I heard that some of Yu Wenzhi's cavalry guards also fled back to Chang'an City and wanted to enter the city for help, but Yang Jian stuck to the city gate and did not let this cavalry enter the city. At that time, there was chaos in Chang'an City, and you took the forbidden army everywhere to catch people, if this cavalry of several hundred people attacked the city, it would be troublesome! It seems that I am going to reward this Suiguo Gong well! Yu Wenyong said with a smile, and then suddenly remembered Yang Lihua, whom Xiao Yao introduced to him, and seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

"Speaking of this cavalry, Your Majesty, shall we send an army to pursue them? After all, they are not only the elite of the army, but also Yu Wenzhi's confidants, and it is a trouble to keep them in the world! Yu Wenzhi suggested. sweet potato

"That's right! Then order them to be wanted, Yu Wenzhi's personal guards, if we still let them live in the world, we will indeed be asking for trouble for ourselves! Yu Wenyong also nodded and said.

。。。。。。

On March 15, the weather was fine. After a day of hunting and slashing yesterday, Chang'an City finally calmed down a little, and Yu Wenyong, who basically controlled the court situation, also ordered to reopen the city gate and restore the previous noise of Chang'an City.

In the court, Yuwen Yong rewarded a number of meritorious ministers, first Yuwen Xiaobo, the main planner who was responsible for planning the assassination of Yuwen Hu in Hanren Palace, was appointed as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and Wang Liang was crowned as the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, in charge of the forbidden army in Chang'an City. Then he appointed Wei Chiyuan as the Taishi, the general of the Zhuguo State Dou Chi as the Taifu, and Li Mu as the Taibao.

And the most surprising thing is that Otsuka Zai is an important position, but he let Qi Guogong Yuwen take it first!

This makes many people incomprehensible, and the biggest opinion among them is the emperor's younger brother Yu Wenzhi.

Yuwen Zhi, who has always been currying favor with Yuwenhu before, the reason why he will oppose Yuwenhu this time and fully support his brother to assassinate Yuwenhu is to get a higher official position in his career! So what he expects most in his heart is that after helping Yuwenyong successfully seize power, Yuwenyong can make him the ruler of Otsuka and become an existence above 10,000 people under Zhou State!

But now the position of Otsuka Zai has been awarded to Yuwen Xian, which makes Yuwen Nao very dissatisfied!

Because he has always been envious and jealous of Yuwenxian: what he envies is his talent and talent, and he is better at governing the place than himself; What is jealous is Yuwen's military talent, and he is stronger than himself in leading troops to fight; What I hate is that Yuwenxian's interpersonal relationship has always been better than his own, not only Yuwenhu trusts and reuses Yuwenxian very much, but even Yuwenyong and his own brother are closer to Yuwenxian!

So when he heard that Otsuka Zai's position was obtained by Yuwen first, Yuwen was like a bolt from the blue, and he couldn't accept it for a while, and he began to resent his own brother Yuwen Yong very much in his heart, which also led to a big event happening later!

In fact, on the issue of Otsuka Jae, Yuwen Nao is a little wrong to blame Yuwen Yong, because the reason why Yuwen Yong appointed Yuwen first as Otsuka Zai is actually an operation of rising and descending secretly!

Because Yuwenxian's prestige is too great, he is very prestigious in the local area or in the army, and this time in the battle against the Qi country, Yuwenxian has always led the troops outside and holds military power, this kind of factor makes Yuwenxian very scruples, worried that he will become the second Yuwenhu, so he appointed Yuwenxian as Otsuka Zai, let him stay by his side, and he can supervise him at any time! And Yuwen Yong has also divided a lot of Otsuka Jae's power, and now Otsuka Zai's position is just a false name, and there is not much real power!

As for Yu Wenzhi, who has been chattering in his ear, for the sake of his own brother, and he has also made great contributions to the assassination of Yuwen Hu this time, so Yu Wenyong gave him the position of the Great Sima in charge of the army, even if Yu Wenzhi is a narrow-minded, cunning and vicious person!
