The black armor, black cloak, and the general wearing a bronze beast face who rushed in quickly ran to Yuwentai's side, and the scene suddenly quieted down, and the scout general took off the beast face, which turned out to be General Da Xiwu (this duke has always been Yuwentai's confidant, and he is well versed in the way of probing military intelligence, and the scout in charge is the most powerful), and he knelt down on one knee with both hands and said: "My lord, Gao Huan led an army of 100,000 to invade my Guanzhong, and the troops attacked in a parallel line from north to south in three routes, Gao Huan personally commanded 50,000 Chinese troops in Puban, and was building a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River, In the south, Gao Gao led 30,000 people from Luoyang, and is now attacking Shangluo, trying to penetrate Chang'an directly from Lantian, and Dou Tai, the pioneer of the middle road, led 10,000 iron armor to attack from the south of Jin, through the Fengling Ferry, crossing the Yellow River to attack Tongguan, and threatened that the first battle is a decisive battle, and the first battle will be decided. ”

After hearing the news, Yuwentai, who had just picked up the wine in his left hand, trembled slightly, and a few drops of wine spilled out, and the scene was suddenly silent, time seemed to have stopped, and they all turned their eyes to their commander, Yuwentai came back to his senses and quickly helped up General Da Xiwu, who came to report the military situation.

Although spring is not as hot and dry as summer, but General Da Xiwu is still covered with sweat on his face when he returns to Chang'an for a long time. Serve tea to General Da Xiwu. ”

General Da Xiwu hurriedly said: "Lord, don't worry about the ministers, how to deal with it is the most important!" After speaking, he hurriedly walked to the desk where Zhao Gui's governor was, picked up the wine jug and raised his head and drank it violently.

Yuwentai turned around and went straight back to the table in the middle hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, put the wine on the table, subconsciously rubbed a few drops of wine spilled from his left hand with his right hand, frowned and thought about what to do, suddenly stopped and said with a calm smile: "The battle is so big, it seems that Gao Huan is unwilling not to completely wipe out us, General Da Xiwu, is there a mistake in the military situation?" ”

General Da Xiwu was drinking freely, and when he heard Yuwentai's question, he put down the wine jug, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and replied firmly: "The minister is also afraid that the military situation is wrong, so he scatters three scouts, summarizes the situation of all roads, and the military situation is correct!" ”

Yu Wentai put away his smile, returned to the middle hall and sat down, and said solemnly to the ministers of Hexi: "Gao Huan sits in the land of Sizhou, and the chaos left by Emperor Xiaowu's westward migration has just been calmed down, and he has come to invade our foothold despite the fatigue of the soldiers and horses. ”

At this time, Yuan Xinmeizi of the Northern Wei Dynasty took a sip of wine and said: "The Eastern Wei army is strong, it is better to avoid the edge for the time being and watch its state!" If you can negotiate peace with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, it will be a good policy! ”

As soon as the words fell, Yuwentai, who was in the middle hall of the main hall, glanced at Yuan Xin hatefully, and at this time, Li Hu, who was on the left, got up and refuted: "Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty is ambitious, and this move is clearly to eat my Western Wei in one fell swoop, and unify the north, just like you, soft bones, have long become the meat of the Eastern Wei army, no wonder the temple of the Northern Wei Dynasty collapsed quickly!" ”

Yuan Xin didn't dare to speak out loud in the face of Li Hu's refutation, so he could only say angrily: "There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses under the Western Wei Dynasty, and they have to divide troops to defend. ”

Li Hu said angrily: "Even if you want to negotiate peace, Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty will not make peace, and you have to fight if the troops are not strong, I am a soldier, I would rather die on the battlefield!" ”

At this time, Yuan Xin could only blush and be speechless: "You discuss!" It's time for me to go back and feed my eaglets! After saying that, he bowed to Yuwentai and turned around and walked out of the hall. (Yuan Xin has a lot of prestige in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Su Ri likes flying eagles and lackeys, and he has always been a matter of business!) ）

All the ministers in the hall watched Yuan Xin walk out of the hall, and Yuwentai's generals all watched Yuan Xin leave with hatred.

At this moment, Governor Zhao Gui got up and said: "Lord, since Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty has driven thousands of miles of troops to attack us, we will concentrate the main force and fight with them to the end!" It's better than being a turtle with a shrunken head! As he spoke, he came to the center of the hall and angrily threw the wine lord on the ground, and said loudly: "My lord, I have come to lead the troops to fight to the death, and if you do not win, I will never come back to see you!" Everyone present looked at the behavior of Governor Zhao Gui.

Yu Wentai was quietly watching the quarrel of the ministers in the middle hall at this time.

At this time, I saw the Dugu Xin Metropolitan Governor, who was dressed in alternative and gorgeous Hanfu, got up and came to the center of the hall, and bowed to Yuwentai in the middle hall and said: "Brother Zhao, the contrast between strength and weakness is so obvious, fighting to the death will only destroy the soldiers and horses that we have worked hard to accumulate in the past two years, this method is not feasible!" ”

Everyone looked at each other and then said to each other, "What then?" ”

Governor Zhao Gui glanced at Dugu Xin and said: "Gao Huan's 100,000 troops of the Eastern Wei Dynasty are about to be killed in Guanzhong, if we don't concentrate the main force to fight to the death against the enemy, we will die and have no place to be buried." ”

Dugu Xin said: "Bloody battle is the next policy!" I'm afraid that all the troops will be pressed up, and it will not be enough to stuff the teeth of the Eastern Wei army, and the Eastern Wei Gao Huan with a victorious army is in the limelight, and fighting to the death at this time is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg! ”

Without waiting for Dugu Xin to finish speaking, Zhao Gui gave Dugu Xin a salute, and grabbed the words: "That death battle is the next policy, I wish to hear that Brother Dugu is smart!" ”

Dugu Xin said helplessly: "Brother Zhao is in a hurry, as the saying goes, if you go to the army to fight, you can outwit!" Then he looked at the main book Lu Wei on the right side and said: "Master Lu, you have always been knowledgeable, can you make a plan?" ”

Scholar Lu Wei got up, walked out of the case, came to the center of the main hall, bowed to Yuwentai sitting in the middle hall, and said unhurriedly: "Lord, this time Gao Huan's pro-unified 100,000 army is coming, looking at its menacing, in fact, it is just another battle of Weishui, at that time, the former Qin Fujian personally commanded 600,000 troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the momentum is not small, however, in the end, it was wiped out by the 80,000 "Beifu Army" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in an instant, what is the reason? ”

At this time, on the left side of the hall, Governor Li Hu said impatiently: "Master book, don't sell Guanzi, just say what is the reason?" ”

The chief bookkeeper Lu Wei glanced at Li Hu and then said: "The fundamental reason is that the new policy of the former Qin has not been implemented for a long time, and the foundation is not yet solid, so he is eager to seek unification, but he does not know that the strength and weakness are constantly changing, but Fu Jian has the courage and no strategy, since the death of the strategist Wang Meng, he did not check the military situation and the people's hearts, which led to a big defeat, and then the former Qin quickly collapsed, and the world fell into chaos again. ”

Zhao Gui listened to some truth, and then said anxiously: "The Eastern Wei Gaohuan army is pressing, and there is not much time left for me to wait, so it is the key to quickly come up with a good strategy to retreat from the enemy!" ”

At this time, Yu Wentai got up from the middle hall and said: "Master Lu, I have always seen the subtleties, Gao Huan is eager to exterminate us and others, why not the second Fu Jian?" However, there were early signs, but Gao Huan was still too anxious, since the first year of the Great Unification, after the rebel Zhu Hunyuan fled shockingly, Gao Huan saw that the northern part of Guanzhong was weak, so he followed the example of the Great Xia Helian Bo personally led an army of 40,000 troops to attack Xiazhou for a long time, and based on Xiazhou, trying to invade Guanzhong, from its previous military strategy, are expected, so I put all my troops in Guangyang, that is, to prevent Gao Huan's attack again in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, all the ministers, in this way, the minister is divided, all the way to stay in Chang'an, all the way with me immediately to the Guangyang Chinese army, Detect the enemy situation and make a decision! ”

(Guangyang is located in the north of Chang'an, after pacifying the Guanzhong Longyou, Yuwentai stationed all his troops here, and Li Bi supervised the training of the army.) ）

For Yu Wentai, who has been fighting all year round, it seems to have been expected, but it seems a little frightened to hear the 100,000 army, but he must be calm and not let his subordinates detect his emotions.

Yu Wentai took off the groom's wedding clothes, took the armor brought by Cai You, put on the black armor, put on the black cloak, put on the helmet, looked around at the generals, and began to point the troops:

"The chief bookkeeper Lu Bi, Li Bi Metropolitan Governor, Hou Mo Chen Chong Metropolitan Governor, General Yang Zhong, General Dou Luning, and General Da Xiwu led the army to Guangyang with me to find out Gao Huan's movements! The other generals and ministers are in their own positions! The idle ministers hurried out of the hall.

After Yuwentai saw the ministers leaving, he then said: "Generals, go and prepare, and set off in an hour!" ”

The generals replied in unison: "No! "Hurried out of the main hall.

Li Hu, Zhao Gui, and Duguxin did not leave.

Yuwentai immediately instructed the guard Cai Youdao: "Chengxian (Cai Youzi), go and bring the tiger talisman!" Cai You hurriedly walked out of the main hall to the council hall.

Yu Wentai then said to the three of them: "Three brothers, at this critical moment for the life and death of my Western Wei Dynasty, I can't slack off at all!" ”

After a while, I saw Cai You holding a delicate wooden box and handing it to Yuwentai, after Yuwentai took the wooden box, he said while opening the wooden box: "Although we are temporarily standing in Guanzhong, but the Wei clan has been surging undercurrent, and they may not be willing, they have a foundation and hope." ”

As he spoke, he took out the golden tiger talisman in the box, took out half of the tiger talisman and handed it to Zhao Gui, Zhao Gui saw the situation and hurriedly walked to the table in the middle hall to take half of the tiger talisman, and retreated to a position far away from the middle hall.

At this time, Yu Wentai said: "Just in case, all important things in Chang'an City need the approval of the three brothers!" The security of the rear depends on the three brothers! After Yuwentai finished speaking, he bowed to the three of them.

Li Hu, Zhao Gui, and Dugu Xin hurriedly returned the salute, and then Zhao Gui said: "Don't worry, the lord has me in Chang'an, you can worry about it!" ”

Then the three of them hurriedly exited the main hall. Yuwentai watched the three of them disappear outside the door of the main hall, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, took the ring-headed saber handed by the guard Cai You with both hands and hung it on his body, and then breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Cai You: "Chengxian, you wait for me outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”

Cai You bowed his hand and said, "No! Lord! Cai You hurriedly walked out of the main hall and walked towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, Yuwentai looked at the green gauze curtain arranged in the inner hall of the main hall, and then remembered that today was the wedding day, so he hurriedly returned to the inner hall, opened the door and saw the eldest princess Feng Yi sitting on the couch accompanied by the maid with peacock feathers in both hands but hiding her face, only to see Yuwentai walking to the front of the collapse in three steps and two steps, taking off the peacock feather in the hand of the eldest princess Feng Yi, and putting it on the couch, I saw that the beauty of the closed moon was very exciting, and then said: "Eldest princess, oh, no, madam, Gao Huan personally commanded the 100,000 army to invade Guanzhong, I, Now you have to get ready to go, on the big day, you can't accompany Mrs., please don't blame Mrs.! ”

Princess Feng Yi looked at Yuwentai and paused for a moment and said: "Prime Minister, this is a matter of time, since the day I married you in Luoyang, I have been mentally prepared, can you think of a way to deal with it?" ”

Yu Wentai looked at the eldest princess Feng Yi, who had experienced the wind and frost in front of him, and replied: "Not yet, go back to the Guangyang Zhongjun first, to find out Gao Huan's movements, don't worry, madam!" Saying that, she got up and was about to leave, but the eldest princess Feng Yi was reluctant to say: "Husband, be careful, the concubine will pray for you!" ”

When Yu Wentai heard the word "husband", he couldn't hide his joy, smiled at the eldest princess Feng Yi, turned around and walked away vigorously.

After seeing Yu Wentai leave, the eldest princess Feng Yi got up and left the bed, walked to the door of the bedroom and stopped, looked at the lush trees outside the door, and then said to the bridal maid Bi'er: "Do men have two sides?" In the face of power, he can be so cruel and resolute, but now he is so warm. Then he said sadly: "I sometimes think of the death of Emperor Xiaowu, the first emperor's brother, I always shudder, I hate it so much!" As he spoke, he unnaturally rested his right hand on the open door, and his fingers clutched at the door, as if to vent all his resentment on the poor door.

Bi'er immediately rushed behind the eldest princess Feng Yi, and said anxiously: "Eldest princess, be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears, it is inappropriate to say this at this moment, at present, Yuwentai coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, who are powerful in Guanzhong, and must remember His Majesty's dying entrustment, the Great Wei Heavenly Mandate is extinct, don't avenge him, Your Majesty loves you the most during his lifetime, he just needs you to live well, serve the prime minister well, and have a son in the future, you can inherit the unification!" Isn't this another continuation of the Great Wei bloodline? ”

The eldest princess Feng Yi burst into tears when she heard Bi'er's comfort, and subconsciously shouted: "Brother Huang... I'm in a dilemma right now, what should I do? After saying that, tears dripped down his cheeks and onto his shirt.
