"If the general wants to verify the authenticity, it is not difficult, he only needs to go to the army to find more than a dozen sergeants who returned from Wuwei City and ask about the situation at that time. At that time, there was no need for the old man to say much, the general had his own judgment. Yu Wenhua sat there with a light and breezy look, and said slowly.

"That being the case, Ben will not leave Mr. here, what Mr. said, tomorrow Japan will inevitably give an explanation. Sir, please ---" Zhang Xutuo couldn't sit still anymore at this time, and he wanted to hurry up to verify the things listed in the letter that His Royal Highness the King of Xia Jin personally gave him. As a professional soldier and a loyal and patriotic general, he cannot tolerate the occurrence of treason and rebels in the army, and the things mentioned in the letter of King Jin are too important.

"Okay, tomorrow the old man will come to visit the general again, please ---" After saying that, Yu Wenhua got up and walked out of the big tent after saluting.

"Someone, follow General Ben to inspect the tents of the barracks." Seeing Yu Wenhua and leaving, Zhang Xutuo immediately led his personal escort to visit the barracks to verify it, he was very strict in governing the army, and he couldn't let his troops have such rebellious and cowardly behavior, even if he didn't lead the army himself.

Unexpectedly, after going deep into the barracks and walking to the soldiers' side to verify, Zhang Xutuo seemed to have suffered a heavy lightning strike, which changed his world view because of this. The officers and men of the army were also indignant when they learned the news.

Early in the morning of the second day, without waiting for Yu Culture and its arrival, Zhang Xutuo, who had been thinking about it all night, took the initiative to come to the door to find Yu Culture.

Seeing this, Yu Wenhua put his mind at ease and hurriedly went out to greet Zhang Xutuo in person.

"Mr. Yuwen, the strange general has no eyes, and he almost harmed my more than 10,000 Hongnong children. That crown prince Yang Yong is really not the king of things as Mr. said, and his actions are extremely absurd, although the last general does not know why he did this. But the last thing a general can accept as a soldier is to abandon his own land and his own city. What's more, that Wuwei City is the western gate of my Great Sui, once it is ceded to other countries, the land of my Great Sui Pass will not be protected. If His Royal Highness the King of Jin does not give up, the last general is willing to bring his subordinates to surrender. Please send a letter to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and the last general is willing to take his subordinates to fight Wuwei again, and personally recapture the lost city from our army, and be ashamed of losing the land in the snow. After entering the study room where there were only two people, seeing that there was no one else around, Zhang Xutuo took the initiative to express his heart to Yu Wenhua, which was also the result of his thinking all night last night. As a soldier who is dedicated to the country, it can be seen from this incident alone that the prince is a mediocre person and is not worth defending at all.

"Huh! The general doesn't have to be like this first, these words are presented to His Royal Highness in front of the King of Jin. The general's gift, how dare the old man bear it. Besides, if General Xiao mobilizes troops, my lord has a plan to recover Wuwei City! In these few days, Wuwei will be restored to my Great Sui, and then the general will see my lord's means. Yu Wenhua and Zhang Xutuo, who wanted to give him a big gift, he couldn't afford this ceremony, and he was suspected of trespassing. After Zhang Xutuo saw the King of Jin, he went to talk about taking refuge in person. But now with Zhang Xutuo's attitude, the two parties have become a family, and Yu Wenhua is overjoyed.

When Zhang Xutuo heard this, he suddenly realized, and couldn't help but look at Yu Wenhua and laugh.

Pingliang City is not far from Chang'an, and it will arrive in two days. At this time, in the main hall of the palace political affairs hall, all the civil and military forces were bearing the wrath of Emperor Wen.

"This is Yu Zhongwen has been fighting for many years and has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can he do such a foolish thing! Even I know that this is a trick to deceive and lure the enemy. Zhongqing look at the opening of the western portal of my Great Sui, and the Guanzhong Plain is overlooked by Hu Lu. Now that Tuyuhun is resting in the city, the two sides have temporarily withdrawn their troops, is it war or peace? Let's talk about it! ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the plan given by the prince is the best at the moment. According to the prince's plan, our dynasty can ensure peace in the western border and will not hinder the overall situation of our dynasty. Yue Wang Yang Su came out of the class and said.

"Your Majesty, if the plan proposed by the crown prince is abided by, it will be fine, if the skin of the country is torn in the future, the land of my Guanzhong will fall into a dangerous situation. The minister thinks it still needs to be considered. Wen Linlang Yang Xiaozheng said.

"Does Gao Aiqing have a high opinion?" Emperor Wen saw that the chief minister, Prime Minister Gao Xi, was still hesitating, so he couldn't wait, and directly named him to admonish.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thought it was too early to discuss this matter, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the Hedong Army and the Wuwei Garrison suffered little loss in the Zhongwen Department, but they just accidentally lost Wuwei City for a while. Moreover, our army and the Tuyuhun army have formed a stalemate outside Wuwei City, and the victory or defeat is still unknown. Lao Chen thought it was better to take another look. "As the prime minister, Gao Xi is naturally much larger in terms of pattern, and intuitively he can't accept the result of losing land and seeking peace. Although the prince's plan does not see our losses for a while, it seems to be a plan that can be accepted by both parties, but as the winning side that occupies Wuwei City, it will definitely not only have the little benefit that the prince said. Fang Caiwen Linlang Yang Xiaozheng's words were right to the point.

After listening to Gao Xi's words, Emperor Wen couldn't help but nod his head, feeling that it was very reasonable. The two countries exchanged troops, and the gains and losses of one city and one place were indeed nothing, just as Yang Xiaozheng said, if the peace talks were hastily held, it seemed that there would be greater hidden dangers. After figuring out this link, Emperor Wen said: "Well, then according to Gao Aiqing's words, the option of peace talks will be put on hold for the time being." Ordered Wu Benlang to lead Pei Renji to 20,000 imperial forest troops to garrison Pingliang City, thinking that it was a barrier for the Beijing division. ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a book." At this time, when the court Taifu Yuwen said that the class was playing, he asked.

"Taifu, please have something to say." Emperor Wen originally wanted to make a certain discussion on this matter, but when he saw that Yu Wenshu had something to add, he asked him to talk about it.

"Your Majesty, last night, His Royal Highness the King of Jin sent someone to bring a message to the old minister to inform the old minister of the matter, and the old minister thought that the matter was very important and had to say. His Royal Highness said: With his general Wu Yun summoned 10,000 elite horses out of Nanhuan Pass, he rushed thousands of miles to smash Tugu Hun Fu Ya City within ten days, and won a complete victory. Except for Tuyuhun Murong Shan Yu and Wang Shu Yilik who escaped, the rest of the clan members and ministers were captured in one fell swoop. The King of Jin said that he had a plan to recover Wuwei City! Yuwenshu's aged voice said excitedly. It's just that his words were like a shock bomb, which suddenly made the entire court boil.

Emperor Wen also stood up from the dragon chair all of a sudden, and pointed at Yuwen Shulian with a trembling voice and asked, "Taifu's words are true!" Is Taifu's words true? ”

"Your Majesty, it's true, how dare the old minister talk nonsense. The person captured within the month must be sent to the Beijing Division, and the old minister heard this letter last night and couldn't close his eyes overnight! Hahaha! Yu Wenshu couldn't hide his excitement at this time, and he stroked the silver beard and laughed wildly.

"Wu Yunzhao is really the champion of me, Hou Ye! Ha ha! Together with Emperor Wen, the entire government hall was filled with laughter and laughter, sweeping away the gloomy atmosphere after the loss of Wuwei City.

Several old princes in the court congratulated Wu Jianzhang, the loyal and filial king in the court, and praised each other for the move of the king of Jin. Only Yang Su and the other princelings had flickering eyes and wry smiles.

It's just that everything that happened in this court was still in the dark for the prince Yang Yong and others, who were leisurely in Pingliang City.

Because Gangcha City was cut off by Yuwen Chengdu, not to mention that the news of Fuyu City could not reach the ears of the king of Kadir County and the national teacher Bogra of Wuwei City, even the grain that should have arrived long ago was nowhere to be seen. The generals such as the king of Kadir County did not care because there was no shortage of food in Wuwei City for the time being, but the national teacher Bogra faintly felt that things were not good. What does it mean that food didn't come when it should have come? Bogra grew more and more uneasy.

"His Royal Highness the King of the County, now is not the time for victory, our army's food and grass have not yet arrived, when a general is sent to Gangcha City to check the situation, although Gangcha is small, it must not be lost! If there is a mistake, it will cut the throat of our army, and Wuwei City and our nearly 200,000 troops will be in danger. Bogra shouted to the King of Kadir in his complacent. Although he didn't think that there would be any accidents in Gangcha City, which was in the hinterland of Tuyuhun, it was extremely important to keep his grain route open, and besides, there were indeed cases where grain and grass could not be delivered on time.

"Then according to the words of the national teacher, this king will send someone to Nagang to investigate the situation, and by the way, bring 2,000 soldiers to strengthen the garrison." Kadir didn't believe that there would be any problems with Gangcha at all, because there was no second way to Gangcha City, unless the Sui army crossed the sea from the West Sea, but this was basically impossible.

Coming out of the Kadir tent, Bogra still couldn't let go, and always felt that there was something he had left out that he had not thought of. He had already asked about the dynamics of the Sui army outside the city during this period of time, and did not find that there were no soldiers and horses. Maybe I'm suspicious, right? Bogra thought to himself.

Gangcha City.

Murong Shan never dreamed at this time that he was now locked up in a prison car, walking in the boundless, white wilderness, and his uncle Yi Lik was holding him in the prison car behind him, and he was curled up in the corner of the prison car motionless, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. He and Uncle Wang finally arrived at Gangcha City with less than 2,000 routed troops, but they were caught by the Sui army that had already been ambushed as soon as they entered the city, and they were tired and hungry at the time, and they didn't even resist at all. I only saw that Uncle Wang Yilik waved the scimitar in his hand in vain a few times, and was slapped to the ground by a tall fierce man, unable to move. Could it be that Uncle Wang can't survive at this time, and he is already dead! Murong Shan Yu felt a pang of colic in his heart when he thought of this.

He had been marching on this wasteland for three days, except for the two prisoner carts, which were drawn by two horses, and the escorted sergeants, like the other sergeants, all of them were stepping on a curved plank on their feet, and their hands were holding on to thin sticks, and their walking speed was not slow. This was the first time Murong Shan Yu had seen such a march.

Yuwen Chengdu marched in the middle of this procession, not far from the two prisoner carts. He still did not ride a horse, even if the horse's hooves were wrapped in sackcloth like a horse pulling a prisoner's cart, he did not want to ride. On this mirror-like ice, even if the horse's hooves are wrapped, it is inevitable that the horse will slip, and if it crushes the thigh, it is something that cannot be drawn.

"Hualong, how long will it take to reach the southern shore of the West Sea at the current marching speed?" Yuwen Chengdu asked Yuwen Wenlong, who was following behind.

"Big brother, it's coming, we've been walking on this ice for 3 days, and we should be two days away from reaching the south shore at most. The main reason is that the thousands of horse-drawn carriages carrying grain behind them are moving more slowly. Yu Wenhua Long said loudly with a breath in his mouth. He is the deputy general of this team, and he is in charge of all the things of eating and drinking, and since he captured Murong Shan Yu, who took the initiative to break into Gangcha City, he prepared the whole army to rush back along the same road. However, the hundreds of thousands of stone grain hoarded in Gangcha City had to be transported back to Xiping City, and the delay in carrying a thousand grain wagons by prisoners made the whole march have to slow down.

"There's no hurry in the next two days, turn into a dragon! The two fat pigs in the car have been silent for a long time, you go over and look at the fucking frozen balls, they are worthless if they die. Yuwen Chengdu was in a good mood, and he put the two prisoner cars in his line of sight because he was afraid that something would happen to the two prisoners in the car. After listening to his brother's words, Yu Wenhualong hurriedly turned around to look at the prisoner car not far behind.

Just as the 5,000 men and horses led by Yuwen Chengdu were about to leave the West Sea, the general sent by the king of Kadir in Wuwei City to Gangcha City to urge the transportation of grain was rushing back to Wuwei City with a frightened face. When he arrived at the gate of Wuwei, he fell directly from his horse, and the generals guarding the gate hurriedly sent him directly to the palace of the king of Kadir in the city.

"Your Royal Highness, something is wrong. The lower officials were ordered to go to Gangcha to urge food, but the city of Gangcha had been destroyed for some reason, burned to a white ground, and there were no tiles left. The colonel said breathlessly.

When the king of Kadir heard this, he was shocked and asked urgently, "What about the garrison and food in the city?" ”

"Xia Guan only saw more than 100 corpses, and the granary mansion was burned down, and not a single grain was found. Presumably robbed by someone. After Xiao Xiao said this, he couldn't hold it anymore and fainted.

King Kadir gradually recovered from his shock, waved his hand, asked the guards to help the messenger out of the school, and then shouted: "Go and invite the national teacher to come, quickly!" ”

After reaching the palace of the marshal of Kadir County, Bogra almost fainted on the spot when he learned that the city had been destroyed and the grain was missing. He thinks far more than the King of Kadir and is more concrete. His intuition told him that this must be the Sui army's cavalry that went around behind his army, and attacked Gangcha to block the grain route of his army, so as to force the Sui army of the king of Kadir to retreat. If you haven't occupied this Wuwei City, you will inevitably withdraw from the siege and return in vain. It's really a good plan, and I have thought of it myself, but what I don't understand is how the Sui army was able to cross the vast ice field of the West Sea. Even if pedestrians can be walked more than ten miles on the shore, it is impossible to freeze in the depths of the West Sea. The cavalry couldn't get through.

"Your Royal Highness, this must be the Sui army that took advantage of our army's attack on Wuwei City and sent an army to take a long detour to rob me of the grain I just stored, which is really bad." My 200,000 troops lived on the existing grain stocks in the city, and His Highness immediately ordered to go down and collect all the winter rations from the Han families in the city for military use. In addition, a grain collection team was immediately dispatched out of the city to the surrounding counties to grab grain. Then send people to Fuyu City to report the current situation of our army to Shan Yu, and ask Shan Yu for food. We might be able to survive this winter! Alas! After Bogra finished speaking, he sighed, could not hold it anymore, and slumped in his chair.
