Chapter 245: Is It Worth It? (continued)

An Lu, the palace, the son of heaven Yuwen Qiankeng is eating, the dining table is full of dishes, one by one exquisite Huangzhou porcelain, white background gold edge, and beautiful shading, containing delicious deliciousness.

Chopsticks and spoons are made of silver, and the food is cooked by the most famous chef in Anlu, although the ingredients in Shannan are different from those in Hebei, but there is a cooking technique of "stir-frying", so Yuwen Qiankeng, who first came to Shannan, eats the delicacies with relish.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is in a very good mood, otherwise he will not have a great appetite, when he was in Yecheng, the imperial food in the palace was full of tricks, and there were also famous chefs who cooked carefully, but Yuwen Qiankeng was depressed, and eating it tasted the same as chewing wax in his mouth.

The Son of Heaven has a meal, someone to accompany him, and the natural identity of the companion is not low: Shannan Dao Daxingtai Shangshu Lingyu Wenming and his eldest son Yu Wenli are present.

As the clan relatives of the Son of Heaven, the father and son are of course qualified to attend the meal with the Son of Heaven, there are only three people in the room, there is not so much red tape, and they talk while eating, and the scene is very harmonious.

Yuwen Qiankeng set off from the hanging gourd, crossed Tongbai Mountain through Pingyang, Shenzhou, and went to the boundary of the Anzhou Governor's Mansion at the southern foot of Tongbai Mountain.

More than 10,000 officials and soldiers and civilians on the scene shouted "long live" together, the sound was like a tide, Yuwen Qiankeng was excited, boarded the newly made imperial chariot, lined up the honor guard and marched towards Anlu, and a large number of people cheered everywhere they went, and the scene was very grand, and it lasted until entering Anlu.

This is the glory that the Son of Heaven should have when he travels, but when he was in Yecheng, Yuwen Qiankeng, who was shaped like a puppet, lived in the deep palace for a long time, and it was difficult to get out of the palace, and after leaving the palace, he couldn't help but go wherever he wanted, and those honor guards were more like monitors for him.

Now that he came to Shannan, the feeling of embracing each other before and after, made Yuwen Qiankeng feel the real majesty of the Son of Heaven, although there was no gorgeously dressed forbidden army six rates, no civil and military officials, but looking at the men, women and children cheering on the roadside, he was really excited.

Arrived in Anlu and stayed in the palace, the next day, officials from various prefectures and counties or their subordinates rushed to Anlu one after another to wait for his summons, Yuwen Qiankeng has been receiving these officials for more than ten days in a row, although he is a little tired, but he is very happy.

He escaped from Yecheng after a lot of hardships, and once thought about a question: Is it worth it?

There are countless lessons from the past, Yuwen Qiankeng knows that even if he escapes to Shannan, he is very likely to become a puppet again, just like Emperor Wei who fled to the west back then, he was out of Gao Huan's control, but he was used as a puppet by Yuwen Qiankeng's grandfather Yuwentai.

Qi Wang Yuwen Liang, will he follow the old path of his uncle Jin Wang Yuwen Hu?

This kind of thing is not impossible to happen, but Yuwen Qiankeng has no choice, he is unwilling to remain incognito and disappear into the world, no matter what, he has to flee to Guanzhong and fight hard.

And since arriving in Xuanguo and meeting Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen, until he moved to Anlu, Yuwen Qiankeng felt that the performance of the clan was much better than expected, regardless of the rest, Yu Wenming welcomed him into Anlu with great fanfare, making everyone known, what does this mean?

shows that the other party at least did not think about "isolating China and foreign countries".

Yuwen Qiankeng was in Anlu and was able to meet with any official who asked to see him, and when these officials came to see outside the palace gate, it was his people who registered and summoned him, not Yu Wenming, and then informed him that he wanted to see him.

This is just a detail, but Yuwen Qiankeng can see from this detail that at least Yuwen didn't treat him as a puppet, to isolate him from China and abroad, and the news from the outside had to be filtered in advance before reaching his ears.

There was an endless stream of officials who wanted to see the Son of Heaven, and Yuwen Qiankeng chatted with these officials, and found from a few words that the situation in Shannan was similar to what Yu Wenming had described in the chapter in the past.

It is not impossible if an official has already reconciled with Yu Wenming before meeting him, but it is basically impossible to say that all the officials have come to see him after saying the right word.

Because the more people involved, the greater the chance of lying goofs.

King Qi's father and son have been running Shannan for many years, and they have written a lot of chapters, but Yuwen Qiankeng remembers the situation in Shannan clearly as described in the chapters, and if these officials who met him had different statements, he was confident that he would be able to detect them.

A lie needs to be covered up with several lies, and these few lies need to be covered with more lies, so if a person lies, he can deceive everyone for a certain period of time, but he cannot deceive everyone forever.

This is the truth that Yuwen Qiankeng realized by himself, and through meeting with many officials in the past few days, he sorted out an important message, that is, the words and deeds of King Qi's father and son were consistent, and they did not deliberately deceive him.

At least so far, the clan has been kind to the Son of Heaven, so Yuwen Qiankeng felt that it was worth it to take the risk of fleeing south.

As for what will happen in the future, then take it one step at a time, and now, he is concerned about how the battle situation is.

Yuwen Qiankeng was hanging in the gourd, and tried his best to call on the soldiers and horses from all over the country to work hard, but there were few responders, and then the traitor and the puppet emperor drove the expedition in person, and the menacing was menacing, and he had no choice but to change his original intention.

Yuwen Wen persuaded him to move to Shannan, Yuwen Qiankeng originally planned to leave the next day, but later under Yuwen Wen's persuasion, Yuwen Qiankeng left the hanging gourd and rushed to Shannan on the same day. As a result, not long after leaving, the army of the prime minister's lieutenant Chi was on the verge of hanging.

In other words, if he leaves one day late, he may not be able to leave.

Since then, the hanging gourd has been surrounded by the other party, becoming a lonely city, Yuwen Qiankeng arrived in Anlu, listened to Yu Wenming's introduction to the current situation, knowing that the situation in Guanzhong and Shannan has not deteriorated, and his own side has initially gained a firm foothold, rest assured, he has been thinking about Yuwen Wen who stayed in the hanging gourd.

There are more than 100,000 troops under the command of Wei Chidun, and how long can the king of Xiyang, who is at an absolute disadvantage, defend the hanging gourd?

Facing the inquiry of the Son of Heaven, Yu Wenming replied: "Your Majesty, the King of Xiyang volunteered to lead his troops to attack the Hanging Gourd, and he has been fully prepared to resist the Hanging Gourd for a long time. ”

"The traitor is besieged and hanging, and the situation of the city is unknown, but our army scouts are desperately spying, and they have successively found out some news..."

"What does the message say? What's wrong with the hanging gourd? Yuwen Qiankeng heard that Yu Wenming had news, put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Our scouts disguised themselves and infiltrated the enemy barracks, and found out: the enemy surrounded the Hanging Gourd, and first built a dam downstream with the intention of backing the city, but the result was that the Hanging Gourd defenders were destroyed, and the casualties were not small..."

"When the enemy saw that the dam could not be built downstream, they built a dam upstream, intending to release water to attack the city, and at the same time took the opportunity to send troops to attack the city by boat, which was also defeated by the defenders."

"The successive damming and water attacks failed, and the treacherous ministers became angry and ashamed, urging all the departments to attack the city day and night..."

What Yu Wenming said is also true and false, his own scouts did risk their lives to infiltrate the enemy's military camp to spy on the news, and learned that the other party's siege failed again and again, but the most critical thing he did not say, that is, a few days ago, the enemy army piled up earth to attack the city, and was counterattacked by the Anzhou cavalry in the city, and the blood flowed like a river.

That night, the Anzhou army defending the city attacked the enemy's western camp and succeeded, winning two big victories in succession, causing heavy casualties to the enemy, and also making Wei Chidun give up the idea of a rapid attack and return to the water to irrigate the city again, apparently to besiege for a long time.

Yu Wenming did not disclose this news to the Son of Heaven, because the secret of the flying pigeon must not be leaked.

Yuwen Qiankeng heard that the enemy army kept attacking the city day and night, but they were all repelled by the defenders, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he was still a little worried: "It is said that the lonely city cannot be defended, even if the king of Xiyang and the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, if there are no reinforcements outside, it is never a long-term solution, when will our reinforcements be able to relieve the siege?" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen has been arranged, and when the time is ripe, he will definitely be able to give the traitor a head-on blow!"
