Chapter 290: The Stars Dimm
When attacking the Northern Qi Dynasty before, Yu Wenxian, as the commander of the former army, led the army to break through several defensive lines of the Northern Qi Dynasty one after another, and broke through Yecheng in one fell swoop, making great contributions, and the first place in the credit book.
According to the "Northern History", Yu Wenxian at this time "took the land of Zhou Gong as the general, and the enemy country was based on survival, and his life was determined by his weight".
However, although Yu Wenxian is only in his early thirties, he is a person who can afford to let go, and after this battle, he went straight to Yu Wenyong to ask for disarming and returning to the field. Yu Wenyong was very helpless for such a general to leave, and even said, "Qing is afraid of the expedition, then I have no generals available!" "That's the case.
Regardless of whether Yu Wenyong is really worried about his younger brother's success in the future, at least it can be seen in this sentence that he still has a great desire to retain Yu Wenxian, but Yu Wenxian was unmoved and insisted on leaving.
In desperation, Yu Wenyong could only let him leave the court. Of course, neither Yu Wenyong nor Yu Wenxian expected that in another time and space, after the suspicious Yu Wenyun ascended the throne, he was still not at ease with his uncle, who had been concentrating on being a lazy prince, and even found an inappropriate reason to trick Yu Wenxian into the palace and strangled him to death.
Of course, none of this has happened at this point.
For the Northern Zhou, this time it can be said that the strength of the whole country can be said to be the strength of the country, and even the elite of the Jingxiang front line have been withdrawn, which is a great matter, especially the stability of the rear of the Central Plains and Guanzhong is more important. Yu Wenyong knew that if Yu Wenxian was allowed to stay in Chang'an, he would definitely not be willing to avoid being talked about by the villain, so he simply handed over the responsibility of staying in Luoyang to Yu Wenxian.
Luoyang is an important town for transporting military rations from Chang'an to Hebei, Shanxi and other places, and Yuwenyong is not at ease when he is handed over to others to be in charge. And Yu Wenxian also knew that this matter was very important, and the imperial brother was worried about the employment of people, so he did not shirk and helped to sit in Luoyang.
It's good now, Yu Wenyong, who once set off from Luoyang in high spirits, was already dying when he appeared in front of him again, even Yu Wenxian, who has always been very cultivated and steady, couldn't help but be furious.
What are these guys up to!
"Pu Liuru, since you are also here, then you explain and explain!" Yu Wenxian raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged general known as "Pu Liuru" frowned, obviously slightly resistant to Yu Wenxian's scolding, but he still quickly lowered his head and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty has been in poor health since he crossed the river, and he had no choice but to postpone the march, but His Majesty's condition was getting worse and worse, until a few days ago he finally improved, so the Imperial Doctor suggested taking this opportunity to escort His Majesty to Luoyang.
Because the army retreated slowly, so we left the deputy general to lead the team, leading a team of cavalry to escort His Majesty's carriage first, in order to reach Luoyang as soon as possible, who would have thought that just crossed the river, His Majesty's condition was serious again, hot and cold, delirious, and the last general and other panic, but also can only travel day and night, until today, and His Majesty is now almost unconscious, with the army doctors are at a loss, only hope in the palace to stay in the palace and from Chang'an to the imperial doctor. ”
Yu Wenxian frowned, his eyes turned to the rest of the civil and military officials, these officials who followed Yu Wenyong all the way lowered their heads, no matter what, His Majesty's condition deteriorated step by step under their noses, and now even if King Qi was furious and wanted to ask for the guilt, they could only bear it obediently.
However, Yu Wenxian didn't say much, not to mention that the Pu Liuru standing in front of him was a real His Majesty's in-law and a high-ranking commander of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, just these embarrassed officials in front of him were also the mainstays of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and without them, there would be no way to support the current gloomy sky of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Although Yu Wenyong's sudden illness made Yu Wenxian very angry, or worried and uneasy, he knew better that such meaningless criticism and scolding could not bring anything, and now no matter how long Yu Wenyong could support it, the entire Northern Zhou had to prepare to face the worst. And without these officials in front of him, the Northern Zhou would collapse in turmoil.
"Where is the army now?" Yu Wenxian said in a deep voice, the army is the foundation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, not to mention that the army in the north is the main force of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and there is no room for error. Now Yu Wenyong's life and death are uncertain, as Yu Wenyong's most relied on brother and minister before, Yu Wenxian must take this responsibility.
"The army has arrived in Puzhou, and some of them will stay to prevent the Turks from attacking, and the other main force will cross the river within these two days, crossing the river at several ferries in Mengjin and Baima, and returning to their original belongings." Pu Liuru hurriedly said, "In addition, the rest of the guards who follow His Majesty to the north will also arrive in Luoyang in the shortest possible time to protect His Majesty's safety." ”
Yu Wenxian bowed slightly, although this Pu Liuru always gives people a deep feeling of scheming, but I have to say that he still has the ability to coordinate the army, Yu Wenyong can take a fancy to him, and marry him, it is also a good choice, at least such a good general has become a relative of the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he is firmly tied to the chariot of the Northern Zhou royal family.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake!" At this moment, a eunuch threw out in surprise and said breathlessly, "Your Majesty summons His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”
The surrounding ministers were stunned, and immediately subconsciously wanted to step forward. However, Yu Wenxian waved his hand to block them, and several guards immediately stepped forward to block the way of these civil and military officials. Yu Wenxian turned his head and said in a deep voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, since Your Majesty is just summoning this king, then please wait outside later, your worries about Your Majesty, this king can understand, but it is not appropriate to rush in such a loud and noisy way, this king will first ask Your Majesty's opinion."
"This ······" Several gray-bearded old ministers suddenly had their hands trembling, obviously a little angry at Yu Wenxian's actions, but His Majesty's will was indeed what he said, and they couldn't refute it.
"I'll wait for King Qi Jiayin, and ask King Qi to go quickly." Pu Liuru, who has been standing at the front and is faintly the head of the courtiers, arched his hand and said in a deep voice.
Yu Wenxian glanced at him deeply, but Pu Liuru didn't look at him, but lowered his head more respectfully. With a secret sigh in his heart, Yu Wenxian walked straight to the side hall.
And after Yu Wenxian left, Pu Liuru slowly raised his head, looking at the back of the gaze, all the previous humility has disappeared, and all that remains is sharp, and even with the slightest wisp of killing intent.
"Yang Gong ······" Zheng Yi, the doctor under the inner history who had been standing behind Pu Liuru and didn't dare to say a mouthful, also raised his head at this time, and whispered with some concern, "Although His Royal Highness the King of Qi has retired, his momentum has not diminished. ”
Pu Liuru looked at the side hall that had closed the door of the temple again, his eyes were deep, and he didn't say a word.
