Just when the Eastern Wei army surrounded Yubi and Fennan in the Western Wei Dynasty, and kept attacking, the two sides gradually fell into a state of stalemate, and at the same time, the Western Wei Dynasty also started the mobilization of troops across the country, preparing to withdraw back to defend Tuyuhun in the west and the elite soldiers to defend against the northern Turks, gathered in Chang'an, and prepared to send troops to relieve the crisis.

In December of the twelfth year of the Great Unification, in Chang'an City, in the Weiyang Palace, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty of the Western Wei Dynasty were fiercely discussing the crisis of the invasion of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Li Hu, Li Bi and Hou Mo Chen Chong were in favor of transferring troops from the west and north to the east to defend the Eastern Wei Dynasty, while Duguxin and Zhao Gui opposed the transfer of troops from the west and the north, believing that once the troops were transferred, the Tuyuhun tribes and Turks on the right would definitely send troops to invade the Western Wei Dynasty after hearing about it, especially the Turks in the north, like a bad wolf, and the side affairs were not strong, so they would inevitably take advantage of the fire to rob and invade the Western Wei Dynasty on a large scale, so the losses in the west and the north would be a mess, and this would be a mess to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall, which would be useless. Both sides have their own reasons, and they do not give in to each other at all, which makes the Yuan Bao Torch sitting on the throne upset and has no opinion, and what makes him most depressed is that the ministers of the court, such as Yu Wentai and Yu Jin, are silent.

At this time, Yu Wentai stood in the chief position, motionless and closed his eyes to recuperate, as if the quarrel between the two parties had nothing to do with him, and although Yu Jin on the side was not as good as Yu Wentai, he was also silent, just quietly looking at both sides, letting the two sides quarrel. Yuan Bao Ju couldn't help but be angry when he saw the two of them behave like this, as the two major figures of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, when the life and death of such a country was at stake, they let the ministers of the court panic and not stop it, and if it weren't for the defeat of Bishan led by Yuwentai and Yu Jin, there would not be today's situation.

Thinking of this, Yuan Bao Ju deliberately said to Yu Wentai: "Metropolitan Governor, is there a good plan for today's situation?" ”

Yuwentai raised his eyelids when he heard this, thought for a while, walked out of the queue, bowed to the Yuan Bao Torch on the upper seat, and said: "Your Majesty, I have listened to the suggestions of the generals and ministers just now, and they all have their own reasons. Most of the Tuyuhun tribes in the west are short-sighted, only greedy for money and beauty, and do not pose a threat, as long as they send envoys to a few large tribes and bribe the tribal leaders to gain support, then the western frontier can be stable. The northern Turks are not easy to dismiss, the Turks are ambitious, have a great appetite, and do not believe in their words, once the north is empty, the Turks will definitely go south to plunder, so that if you don't wait for the Gao Huan thief army to fight, my northern region will be ruined, even if the Turks are finally repulsed, it will be a piece of erosion. The Liang Dynasty in the south does not want to forge ahead, and has always looked down on barren places such as Guanxi and Youyou, so they are worry-free for the time being. Therefore, Weichen believed that most of the elite troops in the west and south could enter the pass to resist Gao Huan's thief army, and the border troops in the northern Woye Town and Lingxia area must not act rashly. ”

Yuan Baoju didn't make a sound after hearing this, but just said "um" lightly, and then asked Yu Jin: "Yu Shangshu, what do you think of the opinion of the Metropolitan Governor?" ”

Yu Jin heard the emperor's inquiry, and immediately went out to worship and said: "Your Majesty, the opinion of the governor of the capital is very good, the minister thinks it is feasible, the Turks are greedy, and they must not be taken lightly, and there are still two lines of defense in the east of my Great Wei, Wei Xiaokuan of Yubi and Li Mu of Fennan are all famous generals of my Great Wei, especially Wei Xiaokuan with a few thousand defenders in a city of Yubi to resist the enemy with 100,000, making the enemy unable to move forward for nearly two months. Now with the advent of winter, the morale of the thief army will only get lower and lower, and the jade is difficult to lose, and the second line of defense Fennan City is not as steep as the first line of defense Yubi City is steep, and the defenders are less than Yubi, but fortunately, Fennan is condescending and not easy to be captured by the enemy. ”

"Well, yes, Yu Shangshu, your suggestion is indeed high, according to your words, how should our army deal with it?"

Yu Jin sneered disdainfully in his heart after hearing this, how could he not see that the emperor was elevating him, so as to suppress Yuwentai, and wanted to provoke him to oppose Yuwentai. But he didn't plan to buy the emperor's face, you must know that Yuwentai is in charge of the government, and his scheming and talent are comparable to Gao Huan's and other heroes, Yu Jinke doesn't think that the Yuan Bao Torch can compete with Yuwentai. At that moment, he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the opinion is put forward by the Metropolitan Governor, and he must be confident, and the Weichen is not as talented as the Metropolitan Governor, if it is planned by the Metropolitan Governor, it will be better." After speaking, Yu Jin respectfully bowed to the Yuan Bao Torch sitting on the throne, which was to warn the emperor that he did not want to participate in the fight against Yuwentai, and also to warn the emperor not to make the government unstable at this juncture, and the most important thing at the moment was to retreat from the Eastern Wei army.

Yuan Bao Ju listened to Yu Jin's words, and was angry in his heart, and secretly scolded Yu Jin's old horseman, he will destroy his door one day. On the other hand, Yu Wentai's expression on his face was calm and calm, as if what he said just now had nothing to do with him, but he just continued to maintain the respectful expression just now.

After Yu Jin finished speaking, he didn't continue to say much, he said what he should say, if Yuan Bao Ju still knows how to do it, then there is still a trace of affection, otherwise Yu Wentai will definitely take action to clean him up, you must know that Emperor Xiaowu, who originally took refuge in Yuwentai, disobeyed him many times, and finally Yu Wentai dared to poison him directly, and Yuan Bao Ju is not as good as Emperor Xiaowu in terms of identity and appeal, how can he be Yuwentai's opponent.

Fortunately, the ingots torch is also good at forbearance, after all, he secretly suffered this loss, calmed down his mood, and pretended to be appreciative: "The two Aiqing are modest and polite, this is an example for hundreds of officials, in this case, I will entrust all the affairs of the enemy to the Metropolitan Governor, and I hope that the Metropolitan Governor will live up to my trust!" ”

After hearing this, Yu Wentai hurriedly spoke: "Weichen thank Your Majesty for your trust, and you will live up to Your Majesty's trust and repel the Gao Huan thief army." ”

Just when the Western Wei Dynasty opened the national mobilization directive, Yuwentai mobilized the western and southern border armies in the name of the central government to gather in Chang'an, and sent people to bribe several tribal leaders of Tuyuhun in the right and heavy profits, and the tribes also guarded against each other and contained each other, which made the western part of the Western Wei temporarily peaceful. However, the northern frontier was not very satisfactory, and earlier Gao Huan sent people to lobby the Turkic leader Ashina Tumen, the founder of the Turkic Khanate, known as Ili Khan.

This year is the time when the unification of Ashina Tumen Tiele is completed, and the military power reaches the time of total victory, although he is old, but he is still eloquent, and has long coveted the Central Plains flower world, after hearing the lobbying of the envoy of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Ashina Tumen is even more unable to resist the fire of desire burning in his heart, and immediately stationed troops in Woye Town.

When the battle report of the Woye border county was conveyed to Chang'an, the ministers couldn't help but admire the strategy of Yuwentai and Yu Jin, which also made the courtiers of the Western Wei Dynasty work together more together, like a chariot on a chain, carrying various resources, rolling forward, and Yuwentai is the commander-in-chief of this chariot, strategizing thousands of miles away, issuing various orders in the name of the central government, and transferring the border armies in the west and south to gather under the city of Chang'an. Taking this opportunity, Yuwentai suppressed the imperial family and other hostile forces of the Zhu Kingdom, so that the army only respected his orders, thus achieving the effect of centralization, and the war between the East and West Wei caused by Yubi as the fuse actually strengthened Yuwentai's power and increased the political and military influence of the Yuwen family.

At the same time as the Western Wei Dynasty mobilized the army, the siege of Fennan was also burning more and more vigorously, and every time it seemed that it was about to capture Fennan City, it was repeatedly repelled by the supervision team led by Li Mu himself, and the city was full of corpses of soldiers on both sides, and both sides were red-eyed.

Gao Yang looked at the soldiers who were besieging the city not far away and were constantly harvested and fell, and his eyes became sharp, according to the news from the secret agents in Chang'an, Yuwentai had successively gathered elite soldiers, no less than 50,000 people, if he didn't break through Fennan City, then the initial goal would be abandoned, and he would fall into the end of being divided and surrounded.

Li Mu was indeed a famous general in the world, even if the 3,000 iron cavalry led by Tang Yong and Fu Fu captured Yizhou and captured his son and threatened him. It turned out that everyone in the Western Wei Dynasty was attracted by the siege of Yubi and Fennan at first, especially Yizhou, and Duan Shao would actually send this army to cross the Fen River, bypass Taizhou, and directly attack Yizhou. The defenders of Yizhou quickly lost the city under their defenselessness, and what was even more surprising was that among the generals captured by Yizhou was Li Mu's second son, and Tang Yong hurriedly sent someone to escort him to Fennan. The generals of the Eastern Wei Dynasty who attacked Fennan City thought that it should be easy to persuade Li Mu to surrender with the safety of his son's life, after all, the tiger poison does not eat his son, and in front of his son, plus fame and fortune, Li Mu will inevitably be moved.

Duan Shao sent people to persuade him to surrender in front of the battle, but he didn't expect Li Mu to be unmoved, and he grabbed the archer's bow and arrow on the spot, and shot at the second son with an arrow, fortunately, the distance was far, and it only hit his right arm, but everyone was also stunned by Li Mu's ruthless arrow, and the Western Wei defenders in Fennan were even more demoralized, so angry that Qi Lian was about to cut off Li Mu's son's head on the spot, but fortunately Duan Shao stopped it.

In fact, Gao Yang was not optimistic about this strategy at the beginning, before Gao Huan under Yubi City threatened the life of Wei Xiaokuan's nephew but did not succeed, this time it was the same, and it would definitely not succeed, because Li Mu was born in the Li family in Longxi, and the prosperity and foundation of the family were in the Western Wei, and it was difficult to turn back from the Western Wei and return to the Eastern Wei. And although Li Mu himself is not the twelve generals of the Eight Great Pillar States, it is not that his ability is not good, but Li Mu and Li Hu and Li Yuanshan are also from the Li family in Longxi, although the three are far from each other, but they are all members of the Li family in Longxi, Yuwentai In order to suppress the Li family in Longxi, the Yuwen family will always be the first family of the Western Wei Dynasty, and will definitely not be awarded the title of the twelve generals of the Eight Great Pillars of Li Mu, which is why it is recorded in the history books that the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty were terminated, although Li Mu has made great contributions, but he has never grasped more real power, The Yuwen family's approach also made Li Mu later support Yang Jian to seek power and usurp the throne and establish the Sui Dynasty Zhou.

Looking at Duan Shao, who was looking at the map in the coach's seat, there was no trace of anxiety on his face, Gao Yang couldn't help but admire, no wonder Duan Shao was able to become the Optimus Prime of Northern Qi in the later period of Northern Qi, guarding Jinyang for more than ten years and making Northern Zhou unable to move.

Qi Lianmeng looked at the retreating siege soldiers, couldn't help but stand up anxiously, and saluted Duan Shao: "Duan Shuai, we can't go on like this now, Li Mu Lao Pifu doesn't eat hard and soft, we have to find a way to break through Fennan City, otherwise it will be dangerous for our army to go down." ”

Duan Shao didn't answer when he heard this, he just lowered his head and looked at the map, as if he hadn't heard Qi Lianmeng's words.

Qi Lianmeng couldn't help but be angry when he saw that Duan Shao didn't pay attention to him, but he didn't dare to be rude to Duan Shao, so he had to say with a black face: "If Duan Shuai has no other way, the last general will prepare for the next round of attacks and personally lead his sons to attack the city. With that, he prepared to withdraw.

Gao Yang hurriedly stepped out to stop him: "General Qilian, don't be anxious for the time being, presumably Duan Shuai must have an opinion, and you must not disturb the military etiquette." ”
