Xiangzhou Prefecture governs Yecheng, Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion.

In the back hall, Xiangzhou Governor Wei Chi Hui sat on the top, and the next was divided into chief stewards and other confidants, as well as his sons Wei Chi Dan, Wei Chi Youqi, and his nephew, Qingzhou Governor Wei Chi Qin, were also among them.

The Xiangzhou army, the main force of the imperial army, breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step was to formulate the next strategy in order to grasp the overall situation.

A few days ago, the battle of Yecheng was thrilling, the Xiangzhou army won first and then lost and then won, and the twists and turns made people sweat in retrospect, and the key to reversing the defeat was that letter.

It was a letter sent to his father, Wei Chi Hui, in Chang'an, in April, and the content written on it made people scoff at first, but now it has done Xiangzhou a great favor, a great favor!

At first, Wei Chi Hui did not explain the content of the letter to others, but then there was a "big news" in the discussion of Yang Weiwen: Yang Jian brazenly intended to be unscrupulous to the Duchess of Xiyang County.

Although I don't know how the Duke of Shu knew about this kind of dirty deed, but the sewage is not splashed in vain, and then when Wei Chi was defeated in the battle of Qinshui in Huai County and fled back to Yecheng alone, the old Duke took the letter and read it non-stop.

He then summoned his confidants to discuss the letter for circulation, and a heated debate ensued over the contents of the letter.

There are three things written in the letter, the first of which has been 'exposed' in the text, and the second thing that is shocking is that the content written by Wei Chishun in April said that there are masters who predicted that Wei Chidun would be defeated by the marching marshal Wei Xiaokuan in the battle of Qinshui in Huaixian County, and fled back to Yecheng on a single horse.

Only Shu Guogong knew the content of the letter before, but now that the content is exposed, everyone is in their hearts: in addition to not saying the time, the location, the leading coaches of both sides, and the result are actually right!

Then the third content is even more vigorous, saying that the next two armies will fight a decisive battle in Yecheng, and the Xiangzhou army will win first and then lose, because the imperial army will attack the 'onlookers' and force them to flee back to Yecheng, so that the soldiers of the Xiangzhou army think that the army will collapse and their morale will plummet, and eventually cause a collapse.

Therefore, the letter suggested setting up an ambush in advance in case of a change.

Therefore, the fierce debate was for this sensational prophecy, and in the end, the Duke of Shu overrode the public opinion and specially arranged for 6,000 armor soldiers to be divided into two armies, one left and one right, and ambushed in Yecheng.

When the battle began, the people of Yecheng really went out of the city to watch, and the two ambush soldiers saw this and went out of the city to form a formation and waited quietly behind the onlookers, and the people of Yecheng saw that they were standing quietly under the dirt slope and had nothing to do.

Subsequently, Yu Wenxin, the marching chief of the western wing of the imperial army, really attacked the people of Yecheng, causing a rout, and the morale of the Xiangzhou army was also hit, and the situation was not good.

The left and right ambushes lined up on the hillside and waved the banner of the Xiangzhou Army, and shouted in unison, "Reinforcements are here, the enemy will give the head, Yecheng is worry-free!" Knowing that the rear was worry-free and the commander Wei Chi Hui personally charged into battle, the morale of the Xiangzhou army was greatly boosted, and the situation was finally reversed, and the imperial army was defeated in one fell swoop, and countless losses were won in the subsequent pursuit.

There is such a miraculous letter, even if everyone does not believe in ghosts and gods, but unfortunately there is no further content of the prophecy in the letter, only four words: "Do it yourself." ”

Therefore, the hot topic of discussion is how to use Yecheng's victory to open up the situation, but everyone quickly reached a consensus: first clean up the governors of Henan and Huainan and then find Yang Jian to settle accounts!

Send a large army to the vicinity of Luoyang, and the rest of the army will cross the Yellow River in batches and go south to support Henan, and Huainan is struggling to support their own camp to assassinate Shi, wait until these two places are pacified, and then send troops north to kill Yu Yi, the governor of Youzhou who is on Yang Jian's side.

Li Mu, the governor of Bingzhou, sent 30,000 elites led by his nephew Li Xun to attack Yecheng with Wei Xiaokuan, but the whole army was annihilated, and there would be no troops to attack Xiangzhou for a while and a half, and he also had to defend against the Turks in the north of Bingzhou.

The plan has been decided that the staff will retire, and there are only Wei Chijiong and his two sons and a nephew left in the lobby.

Yu Chi Hui has a total of five sons: Yu Chi Yi, Yu Chi Kuan (deceased), Yu Chi Shun, Yu Chi Dan, and Yu Chi Youqi, the first three were born to his original partner - Princess Jinming of the Western Wei Dynasty, Princess Jin Ming died early, and the latter two sons were born to his wife Wang.

is like a common big family bloody drama, the relationship between the son born to the ex-wife and the afterwife is not harmonious.

In May, Wei Chiyi was the assassin of Shuozhou at that time, and he was under the rule of the Governor of Bingzhou, but after his father Wei Chiyi raised troops against Yang, he was arrested by Li Mu, the governor of Bingzhou, and sent to Chang'an; Wei Chi Shun, the official lieutenant of Angu County who sent a letter in April to let the Xiangzhou army reverse the defeat, also fell into Chang'an after Xiangzhou raised troops.

If the life and death of the two brothers Wei Chiyi and Wei Chishun are unknown now, if they die, it will be enough to burn a few more pillars of incense every year, if they are still alive, how can they be rescued? This kind of topic was not dared to be picked up by the staff, and only Wei Chi and his nephew could solve it.

And what about their family heirs? According to the convention, men will be killed, and it is normal for female dependents to be slaves in the palace or given to other powerful people as concubines.

Wei Chishun's son-in-law Xiyang County Gongyu Wenwen is now in Anzhou, at least his daughter Yu Chi Chifan can escape the catastrophe of Chang'an, and I don't know what the situation is in Anzhou?

Wei Chi Hui discussed with his son and nephew for a long time and decided to wait and see the development of the situation before making plans, he knew that Yu Wenliang's use of troops was mediocre, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the Jingxiang army under the command of Marshal Wang Yi, so there was no hope in the direction of Anzhou.

Pity my granddaughter, Chi Chi Fan, I'm afraid I won't be in the chaos

Anzhou Prefecture Public Security Lu, somewhere liquor store.

The chief steward, Shi Du Shijun, the chief manager, the eldest son Yu Wenming, and the second son Yu Wenwen held a banquet for the imperial envoys who had only arrived in Anlu this afternoon.

The envoy of the imperial court is divided into the chief envoy and the deputy envoy, and the rest are entourage, the chief envoy is the prime minister's Shi Zhengyi, and the deputy envoy is the doctor and the emperor in the internal history.

In this era, riding a horse on the official road, traveling 150 miles a day is already a god speed, no matter how fast you have to change horses, people can't stand it for a long time, of course, there is no lack of cavalry raids on 300 miles of day and night marches, but that is the battlefield can not be used as an ordinary degree.

Zheng Yi, Huang Fuji, and a retinue all looked tired, their eyes were swollen, and they were afraid that they were sleeping on horses after sleeping for more than a thousand miles from Chang'an through Wuguan to Anlu.

Unlike those shabby literati who were powerless in later generations, the children of the families, nobles, and gate lords of this era are both civil and military, can pick up a pen and write, can ride a horse and shoot arrows, and can talk about a game and practice sweat.

For example, Zheng Yi, although he is greedy for money, he is proficient in music and rhythm, and he is so good at riding that he can shoot a good arrow, if he and Yuwen Wen are pulled out immediately to PK archery, I am afraid that Yuwen Wen will finish.

Of course, as a negotiation strategy, you can travel day and night, but it is impossible to rush to 'bargain'.

Therefore, Zheng Yizheng and Yu Wenwen, the second son of the head of Anzhou, hooked their shoulders and drank a little wine to watch the dancing girl sing and dance, and the chief steward Shi Du Shijun and the chief steward Yu Wenming kept toasting to the emperor and his entourage.

"Pei Guogong, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I've been a lot more chic." Yuwen Wen filled Zheng Yi with a glass of wine, "When I was in Chang'an, thanks to Pei Guogong's help in speaking, I finally survived those days and was able to reunite with my wife." ”

"Xiyang County is polite, and it is really the blessing of the Buddha for the virtuous couple to get together again." After Zheng Yi finished speaking, he didn't forget to add a sentence, "What the Xiangzhou rebels said is pure slander, and the county prince should not take it to heart." ”

"I know, I know that it was Yu Wenyun who beat my wife and not your Sui Guogong, and besides, this copywriting is still what I came up with, isn't it?" Yuwen Wen slandered his stomach and slandered his belly, but he smiled and said no, no, seeing the warm atmosphere, he asked: "I don't know how the battle in Xiangzhou is?" ”

This question was not only asked by Zheng Yi, but even the emperor Fu Ji who was sitting next to him looked at him in surprise: This kind of thing can also be asked in public?

To put it bluntly, you Anzhou and Xiangzhou are actually rebellious all the way, but now the imperial court and Anzhou have each other's needs, and at the same time pretend to be crazy and stupid to talk about peace, you ask us so It is impossible for us to tell you the fact of the defeat of the imperial court, it must be said that the defeat of the Xiangzhou rebels is not far from annihilation.

Although you may not believe our words, but the public will always spread it, so that Anzhou's morale will be affected for no reason, are you sure it is not a pig teammate?

"Ahem, the war in Xiangzhou is tight now." Zheng Yi almost choked on Yu Wenwen's words, gave an ambiguous answer, and then hurriedly ate a few bites of food to suppress the shock.

This kid is still so out of tune!

Yu Wenwen didn't seem to notice that his words were inappropriate, and after pouring wine for Zheng Yi, he touched another glass and continued to ask: "I heard that the Duke of Angu County has been beheaded by the prime minister to show the public?" ”

"Ahem, ahem." Zheng Yi was choked again halfway through the wine, and he began to regret chatting with Yu Wenwen, "Don't listen to people's nonsense, the Angu County Gong family is now guarded in the mansion and is not allowed to go out, and the prime minister will definitely not kill indiscriminately if he enforces the law strictly." ”

"That's good, that's good." Yu Wenwen nodded and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "The insiders cried to death when they heard that their parents were killed, and they haven't been close for more than a month." ”

This time, it was Yu Wenming's turn and Du Shijun to look at him in surprise: Pretending to be really like a boy, you have been walking by yourself and have not been close for more than a month, I am afraid that it has not stopped overnight in the past few days!

Zheng Yi coughed dryly, picked up a wine glass, picked up a wine jug and escaped from his seat to clink glasses with Yu Wenming: "Come on, come on, Xiaguan and Shizi have a drink." ”

Huangfu Ji looked at Yu Wenwen with interest, his eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something, Yu Wenwen leaned over with a smile when he saw this: "Make you work hard all the way, and you will be honored for doing it first." ”

The two drank all the wine in the cup, and before the emperor Fu Ji put down the wine glass, he heard the other party ask: "Envoy, I heard that Chang'an is a little unpeaceful?" ”

"What does it mean to be not peaceful?" He raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

"I heard that King Zhao is going to rebel."

Huang Fuji almost didn't hold the wine glass in his hand, he coughed a few times and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Don't listen to people's nonsense, King Zhao is a virtuous king of the clan, how can he rebel." ”

Without waiting for Yu Wenwen to speak, he picked up his wine glass and walked towards Yu Wenming: "Xiaguan has a drink with the prince." ”

Seeing Yu Wenwen clinking glasses and talking to the people around him without heart or lungs, Huang Fuji looked puzzled: Could it be that I am thinking too much?
