At the beginning of May of the second year of the elephant, more than 20 days after setting off from Chang'an, Yu Wenwen and his brother Yu Wenming came to Anzhou Prefecture.

Due to some 'ulterior reasons', the brothers did not make a big splash when they entered the city, and their father, Yuwen Liang, the governor of Anzhou, had already arranged their accommodation in advance, and the group 'checked in' on the day they arrived in Anlu.

After tossing and settling the residence, the two brothers Yu Wenming and Yu Wenwen took their families to the Anzhou Governor's Mansion to have dinner with their father Yu Wenliang, and the father and son finally reunited with the whole family, which was also the first time that the new daughter-in-law Wei Chi Chifan saw her father-in-law.

After the two families decided to marry last year, because Emperor Yuwenyun of Tianyuan ordered the world to select beautiful women to fill the harem, the daughters of the officials above Yitong were not allowed to marry, so the marriage of the young couple was delayed until this year, and Yuwenliang led troops to the Southern Dynasty in Anzhou at the end of last year, so he did not drink his son's wedding wine.

After drinking the wine of Wei Chi Chi's toast, Yu Wenliang looked at his new daughter-in-law who looked like a fairy and nodded: "The Gongxian couple of Angu County really gave birth to a good daughter, and Erlang is really a match made in heaven for men and women." ”

He saw the appearance of the little couple in his eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart: No wonder the emperor would have bad intentions towards his daughter-in-law regardless of his shame.

There are female dependents, and the father and son are tired from the journey, so the three of them did not talk about official affairs, and the brothers took their families back to rest after the family banquet, but before leaving, Yu Wenliang revealed the news that he had only received yesterday: Yang Jian, the prime minister of Sui Guogong, is now in full control of the government.

According to the original historical trajectory, Yang Jian finally got his wish and squeezed out others to take sole power, and the right prime minister Han Wang Yuwenzan was fooled by money and beauty to leave the young emperor and leave the palace to spend time at home, and the young emperor completely fell into the hands of his grandfather Yang Jian and became a humanoid stamp.

At night, the lieutenant Chi Chi fell asleep while Yu Wenwen couldn't sleep, he tossed for more than a month just to take off the shackles of "killing husband and wife" on his head, and Yang Jian's reign was a month earlier than the original history, that is, the next big melee would be a month earlier.

The next thing Yang Jian had to do was to recruit the vassal kings who had military power outside the clan: Zhao Wang Yu Wenzhao, Chen Wang Yu Wenchun, Yue Wang Yu Wensheng, Dai Wang Yu Wenda, and Teng Wang Yu Wenqi back to Chang'an.

An invisible cage is slowly opening to put the ignorant Yuwen Sect into it, and Yang Jian will not sit idly by for Yu Wenliang, the head of Anzhou, who is holding a heavy army.

I only have about a month to prepare, so what can I do now?

The small universe broke out to mass-produce breech flintlock muskets, and trained the British Empire lobster soldiers to play with queuing guns? Thinking too much.

Practicing the Spanish invincible spear phalanx or the Swiss phalanx according to the routine? Just kidding, there wasn't enough time.

You can only play tricks on the existing basis

Thinking of this, Yu Wenwen couldn't help but go through the situation of the Anzhou Governor's Mansion under his father's office:

Anzhou (also known as Yunzhou) governor's office, set up in June of the second year of Baoding in the Great Zhou Dynasty (562 AD), currently under the jurisdiction of Anzhou, Suizhou, Wenzhou, Yingzhou, Tuzhou, Shunzhou, Chuzhou, Huanzhou, Yuezhou, a total of nine states and Lushan, Yongshan, Zhuanyang, Yingcheng, Pingjing, Wuyang, Shangming, Xuzhuo eight towns.

Anzhou (Zhi'an Lu, now Anlu, Hubei), Suizhou (Zhisuicheng, near present-day Suixian, Hubei), Wenzhou (Zhijiaoling, present-day Beijingshan County, Hubei), Yingzhou (Zhiyongyang, northwest of present-day Yingshan County, Hubei).

Tuzhou (Zhizuoyang, now northeast of Suizhou City, Hubei), Shunzhou (Zhilicheng, now north of Suizhou City, Hubei), Chuzhou (Zhiyongshan, southeast of Hanchuan City, Hubei), Huanzhou (Zhijingchi, now Xiaoganbei, Hubei), Yuezhou (Zhixiaochang, now Xiaochang, Hubei).

The Anzhou Governor's Mansion was set up as a military front, bordering the border of Qi in the east, and the Nanliang and later Nanchen boundaries in the south.

According to the original historical trajectory, Yu Wenliang rebelled in early March of the second year of the elephant and died after the failure of the rebellion, the young emperor's father-in-law Sima eliminated the difficulty of succeeding, and now the timeline has changed, the governor of Anzhou is still Yu Wenliang, and it is impossible for Sima to come to the post.

The third governor of Anzhou, Li Yuan, was the father of Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's son Li Yuan was born in Anzhou, and Li Yuan lived in Anlu for a period of time when he was a child.

At the end of July, Sima eliminated a total of 110,000 troops from the Anzhou Governor's Mansion in Kyushu to raise troops against Yang, and took refuge in Nanchen to invite reinforcements, Yang Jian then sent the Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion in the northwest of Anzhou and the Huangzhou Governor's Mansion in the southeast to attack Sima to eliminate the difficulty.

Wang Yi, the governor of Xiangzhou, as the marshal of the march, led the four marching commanders to kill all the way, while Yuan Jingshan, the governor of Huangzhou, led a large army to intercept the Chen army that went north to support.

Now everything has to be a month in advance, so it seems that Yang Jian will send someone to replace Yu Wenliang as the governor of Anzhou at the latest in early June, and then the army that will go south to 'quell the rebellion' will not be less than 110,000 troops.

So the key is to convince the father to strike first

On the second day, the Anju Governor's Mansion, in the study.

Yu Wenliang and his two sons Yu Wenming and Yu Wenwen discussed the current situation and contingency measures, in mid-March, when he returned to the court, he had a secret discussion with his two sons, Yu Wenwen thought that the Tianyuan Emperor was assassinated and seriously injured and was afraid that he would not live long, and after his death, his relative Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, would definitely usurp power, so he strongly advocated that the two brothers go out to avoid trouble, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Regarding the problems facing now, Yuwen Wen said that Yang Jian was about to usurp the throne, and Yu Wenliang and his eldest son Yu Wenming thought it was incredible.

According to the history of more than 20 years ago, after the death of Yuwentai, the founder of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he asked his nephew Yuwen to protect the auxiliary government, but Yuwen Hu killed his two sons but still did not dare to usurp the throne.

Chi Jiong, the governor of Xiangzhou, said that he would definitely not agree, and Li Mu, the governor of Shenguo, who had followed Yuwentai to fight the world since he was twenty years old, and even saved Yuwentai's life on the battlefield, and has served the Yuwen family for more than 30 years.

Shangzhu Guoyun Guogong Wei Xiaokuan, two years younger than Yuwentai, is his old buddy who started a business, the east and the west to fight for great achievements, in Yubi alone to defend the city and carry the Northern Qi Taizu Gao Huan army for more than 50 days, is a generation of famous generals, outstanding achievements.

Why did they bow down to Yang Jian?

There are other ministers who will not go into details, Yuwenliang thinks that Yang Jian is at most usurping power, like Yuwen Hu, and it is too difficult to usurp the throne.

"Father, do you remember the stories of the Duke of Chu and the Duke of Wei?" Yu Wenwen asked.

Zhao Gui, Duke of Chu, Dugu Xin, Duke of Weiguo, and the second of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty are also old comrades-in-arms of Yuwentai. Yuwen Hu's dictatorship caused Zhao Gui to be dissatisfied, and he thought that he was responsible for his big brother Yuwentai, so he and Dugu Xin planned to get rid of Yuwen Hu.

Dugu Xin is Yuwentai's son and daughter, and he is also the father of Dugu Jialuo, the current Duchess of Sui, and the grandfather of Li Yuan, the future Tang Gaozu. When the plan was about to be launched, Duguxin considered the overall situation and forcibly terminated it.

As a result, the incident was later leaked, Yuwen Hu clicked Zhao Gui, and thought that the grass on the wall of Dugu Xin was not like words, and the two princes were loyal to the Yuwen royal family but ended up in different places, and the family was unlucky.

"Emperor Wu is wise and martial, but how did Liang Guogong die?" Yu Wenwen asked again.

After Yuwen Hu killed two cousins in a row, he set up a third cousin Yu Wen Yong to be the puppet emperor, and Mo Chen Chong, the prince of Liang, was not used to Yu Wen Hu bullying Yu Wen Yong, and once complained and was passed out, Yu Wen Yong reprimanded Hou Mo Chen Chong and punished Hou Mo Chen Chong in order to make Yu Wen Hu think that he was "harmless to humans and animals", and as a result, Yu Wen Hu forced Hou Mo Chen Chong to commit suicide that night.

"How did Emperor Tianyuan deal with the Duke of Tanguo, the Duke of Dongping County, and the Duke of Guangling County?" This is the third question.

Wang Rail, Duke of Tanguo, Gongyu Wen Shenju of Dongping County, and Gongyu Wen Xiaobo of Guangling County are all virtuous ministers of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, loyal to the Great Zhou, Wang Rail once touched Yuwen Yong's beard and said: Boss, your son (Yu Wenyun) is full of ruined skills, and if you don't change the prince, the Great Zhou Dynasty is afraid that it will be over!

Yu Wenyong also frowned, Yu Wenyun is a loser, but the other sons are even more unsuccessful, but what!

What's the use of being loyal to the Great Zhou, offending Yu Wenyun is a death. Yu Wenwen said these examples, and the implication is: Loyal to Da Zhou is of great use or has the highest interests of his own family!

"Jiro is right." Yu Wenming was moved, and seeing Yu Wenliang's frowns, he also expressed his opinion: "The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for more than 20 years, and after countless turmoil, all loyal ministers have broken their hearts, and when Emperor Wu was here, everyone worked together and had a hope, but who is still willing to work hard for Yuwen now!" ”

"Li Mu, the Duke of Shenguo, is a loyal minister of Emperor Wen (Yuwentai) and a loyal minister of Emperor Wu (Yuwen Yong), but he will not be a loyal minister of the young emperor." Yu Wenwen pointed out his opinion: "The same is true of Wei Xiaokuan, the Duke of Yunguo, and the same is true of many other lords, why not support Yang Jian's ascension to the throne to ensure the future of the family!" ”

"Now that Yang Jian is firmly in the power of the Beijing Division, the clan is weak and powerless to resist, and most of them are caged in Chang'an, as long as he gives an order, the Duke of Shu is far away in Xiangzhou, even if he wants to save it, it will be too late!" Yu civilization

The two sons said that Yuwen Liang didn't understand but had been hesitating, just like most of the other Yuwen clans thought in their hearts: The Great Zhou Dynasty was still in the middle of the day two years ago, although Emperor Tianyuan was tossing a lot, but how could he say that it would change on this day?

"According to Erlang's opinion, what should I do?" Yu Wenliang let out a long breath, and he also knew that he couldn't sit still.

"The protégé of Shu is all over the world and loyal to the Yuwen family, Yang Jian can't sit idly by, and the Duke of Shu will definitely raise troops soon." Yu Wenwen directly said his 'guess' according to historical facts, "My father will fully cooperate with the soldiers of Anzhou." ”

"Jiro has grown up." Yu Wenliang looked at Yu Wenwen and nodded with satisfaction, and put a letter on the case, "Fang just received a secret letter from the Duke of Shu for his father, saying that Yang Jian seemed to have a heart of disobedience, and persuaded his father to rectify his troops and prepare to raise troops against Yang." ”

"Sure enough!" Yu Wenming's face was solemn, and Yu Wenwen gritted his teeth when he heard this: "That is the case, my son has a plan." ”

After hearing what Yu Wenwen said, Yu Wenliang was shocked: "No, this method can't!" ”

"If Anzhou is there, then home is there, if Anzhou is lost, there is no place for me in the world!" Yuwen Wen stood up and saluted, "Please also ask my father to make a decision immediately!" ”
