Chapter 37: Hearing the Word of Chang'an Looks Like a Game of Chess (7)
In the fourth year of Wuding of the Eastern Wei Dynasty (546), that is, the twelfth year of the unification of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yuwentai mobilized the military strength of the entire Western Wei Dynasty, pieced together 50,000 iron cavalry, and gathered countless grains and grasses across the country, preparing to recapture Fennan City in one go and rescue the besieged Yubi City.
On the school field in Tongguan City, Yuwentai looked at the neat soldiers in front of him majestically, without saying a word, and the entire school field was silent, with a solemn atmosphere. In order to respond to the call of the country and resist the Eastern Wei army in the eastern part of the country, they had to gather and rush to the battlefield...... Either way, they have left traces in the long river of history.
"The warriors of the Great Wei, the national disaster is at the head, the husband is responsible, the appearance is the same as everyone, about to go to the front line, against the invasion of my Great Wei Gao Huan thief army, this thief in order to usurp the power and seize the throne, first coerced the first emperor Xiaowu Emperor to enter the west of the Guanzhong, and later it was the ambition of the wolf, and set up a puppet little emperor in Yecheng to control the court remotely, and deceived the king. Now he is leading the puppet army to invade the Guanzhong region of the Great Wei...... Warriors, if this thief captures Guanzhong, our generation will become slaves driven by this thief, our wives and daughters will be occupied and enjoyed by the Kwantung people, our property will be plundered, and we will never see the light of day, is this the result you want to see? Tell the prime minister, do you want to be driven into slavery by the thieves of Kanto? β
"I don't want to ...... Don't want toβ"
"Expel the traitors, fight for the Great Wei, and protect meβ"
Yuwentai looked at the legion in front of him, was infected by his military speech, morale greatly increased, he was very satisfied, what he wanted was this effect, only the soldiers were concentric, the sergeants knew what to fight, they could be invincible, and now the Western Wei Dynasty has faced the time of life and death, this expedition has determined the national fortunes of the Western Wei Dynasty, and he can't help but care.
At this time, Yuwen Hu came to his side and replied softly: "Uncle, the emperor sent someone to invite you to the palace for a banquet in the evening, saying that it is for you to practice and bless you with a triumphant return." β
Yuwentai let out a "hmm" and said lightly: "Are you ready?" β
"Everything is ready, just wait for this scene to endβ"
"Okay, enough is enough, and the emperor and the crown prince must not be moved easily."
Yuwen Hu bowed respectfully, "Don't worry, uncle, I know in my heart that His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never be involved in the conspiracy." β
In the evening, the eunuchs and palace maids of the entire imperial city are busy, and a group of dancing girls in the center of the palace are performing the sword dance, dancing enchantingly, with a waist and limbs, although it is already cold at this time, they are wearing little clothing, and they are dancing hard.
Sitting above was the son of the day, but at this time he was absent-minded, and he had no intention of appreciating this moving and charming dance, but most of the ministers on both sides were very interested, as if this was really the banquet set up by the Son of Heaven for the practice of Prime Minister Yuwen, but they did not know that this was an unusual banquet.
Prince Yuanqin's heart was very anxious at this time, cold sweat was constantly coming out on his forehead, although he had been prepared for a long time, but now he was about to take action, but he was a little frightened in his heart, he didn't have the heart to appreciate any dance, his eyes glanced outside from time to time, as if he was checking something, Yuan Lie on the side saw this, and kept signaling with his eyes, which made Yuan Qin's heart settle down.
Yu Wentai also saw that the face of the prince today was not very good, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your Royal Highness the prince, look at your pale face, it's not very good, but last night you worked too the beauty and worked too long?" β
Yuan Qin was caught off guard by Yuwentai and ridiculed, his heart was suddenly shocked, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up, his body couldn't help shaking, and Yuan Lie next to him couldn't help but smile when he saw this, "Your Excellency doesn't know, Your Majesty has been sick recently, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recently entered and exited the Imperial City, assisting His Majesty in taking care of the government, and his sleep is not very good, it is estimated that this day is freezing cold, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to worry about his body!" β
Yuwentai laughed when he heard this, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can assist His Majesty in managing the government, the prime minister is very happy, it seems that in a few years, the prime minister can also return to his hometown, drink this old wine of eight hundred miles in Qinchuan, and fish in the snow, Yuan Shangshu, do you say this is the reason?" β
When Yuan Lie heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Prime Minister, you are joking, if it is uncertain today, there is Gao Huan in the east, Rouran Turks in the north, Tuyuhun in the west, and Liang Guo in the south, and the Quartet is not stable, can you bear to leave and retire?" β
After hearing this, the crown prince Yuanqin on the side hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, Prime Minister Yuwen, now that the Quartet is undecided, and the world is conquering, it is the time for talented people to assist the king in achieving great causes, you must not have this thoughtββ"
"Hehe, I also want to assist Your Majesty in managing the government and politics, resisting foreign thieves externally, completing the great cause of reunification, and returning the world to the heart. It's a pity that among the courtiers of the Great Wei State, there are many ministers who insult me Yuwentai as a traitor in their hearts, and they can't wait to cut off my head, eat my flesh, sleep on my skin, His Royal Highness the Prince, Yuan Shangshu, the two of you say if there is such a thing? β
Yuan Qin sighed in his heart after hearing this, he didn't know what Yuwentai meant, and his heart that had calmed down just now began to panic again, Yuan Lie was also stunned when he heard this, and frowned, [Could it be that Yuwentai's old thief already knows their plan? This shouldn't be! But he soon recovered, at this time the arrow had to be sent, the situation was no longer up to him, only to see Yuan Lie laugh and said: "Haha, the Prime Minister is laughing, who in the world does not know that the Prime Minister is stable in all directions, and he assists His Majesty in stabilizing the government in times of trouble, and thanks to the imperial court, if there is a minister who has this mind, it must be some young people, the Prime Minister does not have to care, come to drinkββ"
Yu Wentai smiled, "Yes, Lord Shangshu is right, it is inconvenient to deal with this young person." β
The two looked at each other after drinking, laughed, and the courtiers next to them saw that the two were talking and laughing, and they were also infected to toast each other and talk, and suddenly the atmosphere was even hotter, everyone enjoyed the dance and drank a little wine, so comfortable!
Just when everyone thought that the wine banquet would end in a happy atmosphere as usual, they didn't expect that after a while, the dancer who was leading the dance suddenly moved, quickly flew towards Yuwentai, and shouted: "Old thief, suffer death!" β
Seeing this, Yu Wentai was not flustered, indifferent at all, sneered in his mouth, held the wine lord in his hand, and looked at the female assassin who rushed to his face, and the female assassin also encountered this strange scene, and secretly screamed in his heart, but at this moment, he couldn't get out.
Just when the female assassin's sword was about to stab Yuwentai, the captain of the guard on the side suddenly blocked in front of Yuwentai, and blocked the fatal blow with his knife, pushed forward, and quickly waved his knife and shouted: "The thief dare, and the one who commits the prime minister will not be killed." β
The female assassin was no match for the captain of the guard, she was pushed down and lost her balance, and then there was a sharp pain in her arm, and she screamed "ah", it turned out that the arm she held the knife was cut off by the captain of the guard, and she fell to the ground and screamed in pain, and was soon killed by the guard.
