"Your Majesty still wants to go back to Nanyang Palace?" Yu Wentai did not answer the question of the ingot, but answered with a question, with a slight melancholy tone in his tone, and looked into Luoyang City. This tone is extremely rare in him. In fact, what is the ingot torch that never forgets the Nanyang Palace? There was also a mansion in Luoyang City when he and the eldest princess Yuan Yuying were married, which also made him unforgettable.

"The old capital is hard to get again, and the prime minister should go all the way east instead of entering Luoyang." Instead, the ingot torch abandoned the burden in his heart, and stretched out his hand to point to the east of Luoyang to signal Yuwentai.

Yu Wentai's heart jumped, "What does Your Majesty mean?" He stared at the ingot torch in the dark.

"To the east is the river bridge, since it has been here, why don't the prime minister go east in one go, success or failure has its own providence, thinking that it can only achieve its great ambition after suffering this catastrophe, the opportunity must not be lost, does the prime minister really want to sit and wait?" Yuan Bao Ju smiled. In the past few days, there have been great sorrows and joys, and after all the life and death, the ingot torch at this moment has given birth to pride and ambition.

Yu Wentai was not infected by the pride and ambition of the ingots, he was unexpectedly calm, and replied as if he was not too interested, "If Your Majesty has an order, the ministers dare not disobey, but the heavy armor is not prepared, and the sergeants are tired, and this is not a good time to be vigorous." ”

"The prime minister has never been such a forward-looking person." Yuan Bao Ju also smiled and stared at him. "Lone is also a person who has died twice, does the prime minister still have to guard against Lone?" Once because of the abolition of Queen Yi Fushi, and once it was yesterday. Yuwentai and Yuan Baoju both understood in their hearts that they didn't need anyone to make a special explanation.

"Lone is also the descendant of the ancestors of the Tuoba clan, everything is just death, just because he respects the prime minister in his heart, and really feels that the prime minister is the pillar of Zhongxing Sheji and the elimination of traitors, Lone has to be the son of the Great Wei." Yuan Bao Ju took two steps closer to Yuwentai, and the two of them looked at each other in the dark, "Lone is for Da Wei, for the prime minister, not for yourself." He paused again, and simply said bluntly, "If the prime minister has this intention, he is willing to lead the six armies in person, cross the river bridge, take the party, and go straight to Yecheng." As long as the prime minister can promise Lone to unify the society in the future, and the Great Wei will prosper, Lone will have no regrets even if he throws his body on the battlefield. ”

Yu Wentai had mixed feelings when he heard the words of the Yuan Bao Torch, and his emotions towards the Yuan Bao Torch were actually extremely complicated. Many years ago, he was a general in the middle of the Guan, and the Yuan Bao Torch was a close confidant of the clan and the emperor Yuan Xiu, and at that time he often exchanged letters with the Yuan Bao Torch, and felt that he was elegant and responsible, and he had a good impression of the Yuan Bao Torch at that time.

Later, Guanzhong changed dramatically, and everyone wanted to intervene in it to make profits, and the emperor Yuan Xiu, who was far away in Luoyang, was no exception. In the end, it was Yuwentai who seized the opportunity and benefited himself, but it was precisely because the Yuan Bao Torch came to Chang'an to take office that he had a further understanding of the Yuan Bao Torch. I feel that it is rare for him to have a long-term vision, and the key is to be patient and able to respond to the situation.

This is also the reason why Yuwentai later had to get rid of Yuan Xiu and set up Yuan Bao Torch as emperor. And it was from that time that the conflict between the two people began. The monarch and the prime minister are on the same page, even if they themselves do not fight, they will be pushed by the kings and officials of the clan to fight far and near.

Yu Wentai also understood in his heart that he would abolish the queen and let go of everything, and Yuan Bao Torch, as the emperor's puppet, gave him the greatest support. Even if he didn't want to, he endured it. And because of this, he had to guard against it. What he wants to guard against is not the Yuan Bao Torch, but the growing prince behind him, the clan, the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and his wife, the eldest princess Yuan Yuying.

"Your Majesty's words have left the minister with no place to stand...... Yu Wentai sighed.

"The prime minister's difficulties are known to everyone......," Yuan Baoju also sighed.

"The minister has no selfish thoughts, but he is not willing to wander between the world and the world, and one day he will turn into ashes with the weather." Yuwentai seems to be in a peaceful mood, but his heart is very uncalm. "Grateful for His Majesty's kindness to the minister, the minister's trust, the minister is also dedicated to His Majesty, the minister and His Majesty have the same mind, just want to take Guanzhong as the emperor's house, so that the family and the country are becoming more and more prosperous, one day if you can personally unify the two Wei, your Majesty as the real Son of Heaven of the Great Wei, from now on the world is governed, the country is strong, the people are rich, all countries near and far come to the court, to govern the world with culture, education and etiquette, Your Majesty will become the king of the saints of all generations, and the minister's life will be enough. If that day really comes, the ministers are willing to withdraw from the temple and return the state government, for a cloth, as long as they are in the holy rule and education of His Majesty, they will be willing to eat. ”

"Your Majesty's words, the minister also has this intention, the river bridge is close at hand, the time is not as good as today, but Your Majesty is responsible for the prosperity of the country, how can you easily put yourself in danger. His Majesty is still in the city of Kim Yong Kim, and he is willing to lead the iron cavalry to fight for the river bridge. "Yuwentai is really rare to be so open and honest. Even so, it is difficult for people to perceive his heartbeat and emotion, and he is already full of emotion.

"The prime minister is an enterprising person, and he has always been afraid of difficulties, and he dared to go to Shaanzhou to get Cangsu that day, not to mention that today he has an iron horse in hand." Yuan Baoju smiled, "It's just that Gu Bi can't sit and wait in Kim Yong City, lest he be controlled by others and threaten the prime minister with Gu." Lone is willing to go to the river bridge with the prime minister, Dawei can do without Lone, the emperor, and must not be without the prime minister. ”

Yuan Bao Ju glanced at the mountain from a distance, but it was close at hand, but he never had the opportunity to visit the ancestral tomb.

"In this case, the minister will ensure that His Majesty will go to the river bridge together." Yu Wentai also looked at the mountain, and suddenly remembered the adventure in the ancient tomb.

The Eastern Wei garrison of Heyin City was set up shortly after the establishment of the capital Yecheng. Since then, not long after the prime minister Gao Huanhe was restored to the throne of the prince, Gao Cheng, the general who entered the auxiliary government of the dynasty, had already anticipated the battle between the two Wei in the future, and planned to deploy and prepare for it.

Although the precautions are done early, they cannot be prevented. None of the defenders of Heyin City could have imagined that the Western Wei army would come suddenly and as fast as lightning. In one day and night, Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the emperor Yuan Baoju of the Western Wei Dynasty led a large army to capture Heyin City. Heyin City, which was originally full of tragedy, was no longer able to stop the Western Wei army, and watched the Western Wei iron cavalry cross the river.

The loss of the river bridge was a major change for the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Fortunately, the defender of Beizhong City in the north of the river bridge made a defense when the Western Wei army attacked Heyin, and he could barely block the Western Wei army that came from the victory. In addition to defending it, the people who complained to the general Gao Cheng and the metropolitan governor Gao Aocao were also sent out early.

Beizhong City, although the city is small, it has to bear heavy responsibilities at this time. Heyin City and the River Bridge have been lost, and Beizhong City has become a key passage for the Western Wei army to advance north into Shangdang. And the advantage of Western Wei at the moment is that it is entrenched in the river bridge and sticks to it, even if it can't capture Beizhong City temporarily, it can also cut off Gao Cheng's way to return to the army from the river bridge.

If you can't attack it, you will attack it again. Just after the Western Wei army attacked the city again and again, and the Eastern Wei army defended it for a day and night, the Eastern Wei general Gao Cheng finally rushed to the Beizhong City with the remaining Eastern Wei army. At this time, both the besiegers and the defenders were already exhausted, and the appearance of Gao Cheng's army brought great impetus to the defenders of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who had begun to fall into despair. So the attack inside and outside the city, and the Western Wei army was defeated in the dark battle.

Corpses were everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, and countless armor was discarded. The sky was bright and dark, dark and bright. The Western Wei army was in a panic and may have gained nothing, but after all, it once seized the river bridge and approached the tiger's prison. It shows that the defense of the Eastern Wei army is indeed an opportunity.

Emperor Yuan Bao Ju and Prime Minister Yu Wentai were also like ordinary soldiers, their armor was covered with blood, and they had not eaten a full meal even after fighting for several days and nights. But at this moment, the chasing army is behind, and it is very likely that it will come suddenly, so the governors will not dare to stay, and escort the emperor and the prime minister to the west.

At sunset, the city of Heyin had already passed, and Yuwentai ordered to rush west. But after walking not far, there were no pursuers behind them, but the sergeant sent to explore the road in front came back to report that a group of Eastern Wei troops were coming slowly in the distance. The scene described in this statement is quite strange.

Governor Zhao Gui also knew the news, and immediately stepped forward to inspect the westward team, and after a while, he caught up with Prime Minister Yu Wentai who was in front. Zhao Gui and Yuwentai walked side by side, because the sky was dark, they stared intently in the direction ahead, and without squinting, they whispered to Yuwentai, "Lord, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Yu Wentai knew in his heart that the sergeant was extremely tired, and he was not without worries in his heart. "Either pretend not to know that we are coming, or really don't know." Yu Wentai was thinking about how to face the sudden Eastern Wei army, and he was not optimistic about it, he knew it very well in his heart.

"Why not take advantage of the surprise attack? Yuan Gui is willing to be a pioneer. Zhao Gui immediately asked for his life, and at this time, Fang turned his head and looked at Yu Wentai in the dark, with longing in his eyes.

Before Yuwentai could answer Zhao Gui, the two of them heard the sound of horses' hooves coming hurriedly behind them at the same time, and they both stopped their horses and turned around to look.

The cavalry general Yu Jin's mount had already chased after them. Yu Jin also reined in his horse and slowly stepped forward. Seeing his solemn expression, Yuwentai and Zhao Gui both had a bad premonition in their hearts. Yu Jin has never been a person of all colors.

"Lord, Gao Cheng's pursuers have arrived." Yu Jin whispered back.

"Lord?" Yu Wentai subconsciously glanced behind him.

"The Lord was originally injured by a fall, and he came to the front of the battle, and the injury is not the most important thing at this moment, but he is too tired. There is Jing and the general is subordinate to the lord, and the lord doesn't have to worry too much at this moment. Yu Jin seemed to understand Yu Wentai's thoughts.

"Please make a decision quickly, Yuan Gui is willing to dispatch the lord." Zhao Gui knew that there was an interception in front and a chasing army in the back today, and it would not be so easy to break through smoothly. But what is convincing about Zhao Gui is that the more dangerous he is, the more decisive he is, and the more heroic he is when he is at a critical moment.

"What is Brother Yuan going to do?" Yu Jin asked, he actually roughly understood what Zhao Gui wanted to do, after all, he was very familiar with Zhao Gui's temper.

"There's no need to argue, I don't know who is coming before, Yuangui will go with me and act when the opportunity comes." Yu Wentai commanded, and he also knew what Yu Jin was going to say, but there was no point in arguing here at this time.

Yu Jin also knew that it was inconvenient to persuade him again, so he had to let Yuwentai and Zhao Guiqin go to the front as pioneers, and he returned to tell Li Bi to quickly protect the Son of Heaven to the west. If compared, it is still Gao Cheng who chased after him is more worrying.

Yuan Bao Ju barely sat firmly on his horse and followed Li Bi to the west, but he didn't go far before he heard the shouts of killing behind him, and he had chased closer.

"Where is the Prime Minister?" Yuan Bao Ju asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister Li Bi is here to escort." Li Bi has infinite strength and bravery, and he has seen a lot of this kind of scene, but he is not flustered at this time.

The Eastern Wei army had been killed, and Yuan Bao Ju suddenly saw a black horse carrying a silver-armored general who had walked at night without a trace, and he immediately recognized that it was Gao Cheng who had personally chased after him. Yuan Bao Torch was not afraid at this time, and secretly laughed at himself in his heart, it seems that he must be leaving his life here this time. Providence is like this, and manpower will never be able to reach it.

Gao Cheng also saw the ingot torch, slowly reined in the horse, and finally breathed a sigh of relief as if a stone had fallen to the ground in his heart, and asked very calmly, "King Nanyang is not harmed?" Is the fall injury temporarily safe? ”

Li Bi stood in front of the ingots torch and shouted, "Don't be rude to the thieves of Dongkou, Li Bi is here, how can you hurt my lord?" ”

Gao Cheng glanced at Li Bi and didn't speak, obviously he didn't put Li Bi in his eyes, and he didn't know this person. And Chen Yuankang, who came up, was more careful, at least he understood that Yuwentai would never let a useless person take on the responsibility of guarding the ingot torch.

When Yuwentai and Zhao Guichi arrived at the forefront of the Western Wei army, the Eastern Wei army that had been discovered earlier had already connected with them. But strangely enough, the two did not fight together. Zhao Gui didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, and secretly took off the bow on his back.

A familiar voice came from the darkness, "Cheng has been working hard for days, and Wanjing has been waiting for the prime minister here for a long time." The queue of the Eastern Wei army was divided into two compartments with this voice, it was actually Puyang County Gong, Situ Hou Jing, and his son Wuwei General Hou He, the father and son rode out of the middle and slowly came to Yuwentai and Zhao Gui.

Yu Wentai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "The county prince has taken over the old land, and now the name is in line with the truth, but there is also leisure to wait for me here?" "He knows better than anyone who Hou Jing is. If he didn't ask for anything, Hou Jing would never be so polite to him when he was down.

The prime minister's words made Wanjing sad, Wanjing and the prime minister are also old acquaintances, so naturally they can't bear to watch the prime minister fall and suffer disasters again. People in the world are all of this heart, and the two Wei are one, so why should they fall into the ground? Hou Jing has always been clever in his words, not to mention that these words were intentional.

Zhao Gui glanced at Yu Wentai, still holding the bow in his hand tightly.

"You might as well speak up." Yu Wentai knew that Gao Cheng's pursuers were behind, and Hou Jing was a thoughtful person, and if he changed, he would definitely change.

Hou Jing came immediately at this time, and Yuwentai simply greeted him. Hou He remained motionless behind his father, as if the scene in front of him had nothing to do with him. Zhao Gui behind Yuwentai stared at Hou Jing and didn't dare to relax a little.

Hou Jing whispered to Yuwentai when the two horses were together, "The bird is hidden in the bow, the rabbit is dead and the dog cooks the reason for the black otter to know?" If there is no prime minister on the outside as an enemy, how can there be room for ten thousand scenes inside? Xianbei children's power is growing day by day, if one day can not accommodate ten thousand scenes, I hope that the prime minister will help, do not sit on the wall and watch. ”
