Pusaka, the capital of Shun, is in the middle of the world. There is Chang'an in the west, Luoyang in the east, and Jinyang in the north, which is a strategic place to control the transportation of the Yellow River and win the total water and land shape. Especially in the battle between the east and the west, Kabasaka is a must-fight place for the throat of the world. No matter which side it is, as long as you want to drive straight into the opponent's territory and have no worries, you must fight for Pusaka. The Pujin Pass Ferry is the top priority of this strategic location.

This important strategic location currently belongs to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, which still prides itself on being the orthodoxy of the Great Wei, and the "Western Thieves" they call it understand that this is not good for them. Similarly, the Western Wei Dynasty, whose capital was in Chang'an, also claimed to be the orthodoxy of the Great Wei, and those who called the east were "East Thieves." ”

Gao Huan, the prime minister of the Bohai King, and Gao Cheng, the prince and general, had long known that there would be a great war between the east and the west, so they had long sent heavy troops to defend Puban, an extremely important place, in order to fight for control and guard against the Western Wei Dynasty. Of course, Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, also had a unique vision, and held on to the west bank of Pusaka, thinking that it would be a plan to attack and retreat in the future.

The distance between Puban City on the east bank of the Yellow River and Chang'an, the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty, is actually not too far, only 300 miles. The Eastern Wei army came overwhelmingly, and the momentum was huge, and it seemed that the "Western thieves" on the west bank did not know. The shouts were loud and the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the Western Wei army across the river naturally quickly knew that the fact was that in this cold winter of famine, the "Eastern Thieves" were going to take advantage of the situation to attack the city and plunder the land.

The gathered Wei troops on the west bank looked at the opposite side across the river, but in fact, this straight line distance was not far. Soon, in their terror, the Western Wei army saw a young general who seemed to be a golden-armored god in the rising sun in the east, surrounded by several other generals like stars holding the moon, to the opposite bank.

The young general was dressed in glittering golden armor and wore a hood on his head, and the beauty of his appearance was rare. The Wei army on the west bank only saw him and several generals around him say a few words, and then someone entered a big bow and quiver. The general took his bow and drew an arrow from the quiver, but handed it to the man beside him.

The general pulled the bowstring several times and tried. When he took the arrow and handed it back, he immediately put it on the bowstring, and without hesitation drew it, and before everyone could reflect it, he had done it cleanly and neatly, and quickly shot the arrow towards the west bank.

The long arrow roared and was hardly affected by the wind, which shows the force of this arrow. It crossed the Yellow River and flew to the opposite bank accurately and firmly, which also shows that this general is indeed a man of great strength. When the Wei army on the west bank picked up the arrow, they found that it was wrapped in a silk book.

This silk letter is passionately worded, directly pointing to the Western Wei Dynasty Prime Minister Yuwen Taituo's name "Wei Xiang", in fact, he is a "Wei thief", who split the world with one person, divided the community, killed the first emperor Yuan Xiu, and threatened the Nanyang Wang Yuanbao torch to usurp the throne and stand on his own. And the inscription of this silk book is the Great Wei and the Prefecture Assassin History, the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor, the Central Book Supervisor, the Ministry of Shangshu, and the General Gao Cheng.

The Wei army on the west bank was in chaos, and it turned out that this beautiful young general was Gao Cheng, the auxiliary general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the son of the king of Bohai. Since he has personally led a large army to hold Pujin Pass, it seems that he is really going to cross the river from here and drive directly to the capital Chang'an. The people in the Western Wei army were immediately panicked. On the other side, the Eastern Wei army completely ignored the chaos on the west bank, and began to set up camp in style, preparing to start building pontoon bridges to cross the river. A big war between the two sides seems to be on the verge of breaking out.

The Eastern Wei army had already set up camp on the east bank of the Yellow River, while Chang'an, the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty, hundreds of miles to the west, was still unaware that the war was near. At present, the whole Guanzhong is in fear and weakness to take care of itself, and this cold winter of poor food and clothing is an extremely severe test for Chang'an.

The north wind was strong and ravaged the whole of Chang'an. Yun Jiang, who was holding a celadon tray in the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was almost difficult to grasp the direction by the wind, and finally walked to the door of the study against the wind. Yun Jiang felt very comforted in his heart, fortunately he was able to hold himself in the strong wind just now, and he did not miss the equipment in his hand and fell down. This is the red date corn porridge that she painstakingly prepared for Lord Lang.

The prime minister has little sleep and little food these days, because the people in the entire Guanzhong are not living and treat themselves well. Eat little and coarse, sleep shallow and restless. Yun Jiang listened to Nan Qiao, the maid of his wife and eldest princess Yuan Yuying, and even his wife was the same. In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid that only that Rouran prince Bald Tujia can still eat well and sleep well.

Yun Jiang gently pushed the door in, thinking that Nan Qiao must have also sent the red date corn porridge she cooked to Madame, right? She closed the door softly again, and the study was warm and quiet. Yun Jiang saw at a glance that Lord Lang and Prime Minister Yu Wentai were holding a watch in their hands, and they were studying it very attentively. She knew that if there was a disaster today, the country would be in great trouble, and the burden would be on Lord Lang. How many pairs of eyes are staring at Lord Lang, and how many things are for him to balance and judge.

Yun Jiang walked over gently holding the tray, and there was no one else in the study. Confidential places are important, and ordinary slaves and maids are not allowed to trespass. I remember Lord Lang's heroic appearance in the past, and at that time, I would always see that kind of smile on the corner of his lips. The current Lord Lang is more silent, and Yu Wentai, who bowed his head slightly under the light at this time, only saw the brow that was always difficult to relieve in Yun Jiang's eyes.

All Yu Wentai had in mind was the disaster situation that had been reported, as well as the strategy that Xingtai Zuo Cheng Su Sui and others had agreed upon after daily inspections. From the lack of harvest in spring to the approaching cold of winter, famine is only the beginning of a catastrophe, and the situation can only become more and more embarrassing. What follows is panic and the weakening of the country, and the success or failure of the rest may be overnight. At this time, Chang'an was stormy and could not withstand a little more blows. The future of Great Wei also became uncertain at this time.

Yun Jiang walked to Yuwentai's side, knelt down and gently put down the tray, then moved his body back slightly, knelt down and sat down quietly to look at Lord Lang. She suddenly found that Lord Lang was caressing her upper abdomen with one hand, obviously not feeling well. Yun Jiang could see at a glance that it was caused by an imbalance in the spleen and stomach, and when he remembered that Lord Lang had eaten less, slept less, and worked hard day and night these days, his heart was really unspeakably sour.

Yu Wentai put down the expression in his hand, and the pain in his stomach made him have to be distracted, and he raised his head while pressing hard with his hand. He found that Yun Jiang was beside him, and he didn't know when she came in. With a sweep of her eyes, she had already seen Yun Jiang's eyes shining, and she looked at him a little distractedly, with tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong? You don't have to listen here, just go and rest when you're tired. Yu Wentai also knew what was going on in his heart, but he talked about him left and right.

Yun Jiang quickly retracted his thoughts, and in an instant, he saw the beads of sweat on his forehead, and he could also hear that his voice was a little hoarse, and smiled quietly, "It's late at night, and Lord Lang should also rest." "There are no more words, she is just an ordinary slave in the study. She has a sense of proportion in her heart about what she shouldn't do and what she shouldn't say.

Yu Wentai looked at her and didn't speak. The moment I saw her, my mood suddenly relaxed, even happy, and maybe with some kind of impulse. In the calm on the surface, that impulse has been suppressed in private. I just saw the celadon bowl on the case.

Yun Jiang also remembered his original intention just now, and had already cleaned up the expression on his face, and said with a faint smile, "Lord Lang hasn't eaten today, this red date corn porridge has just been cooked by the slave maid, it is suitable to nourish the spleen and stomach, Lord Lang will sleep after using it." Her voice was always so soft, Yu Wentai had never seen her shouting, and he always felt that she was as calm as water.

Yun Jiang lifted the lid, picked up the broad-handled spoon and put it in, and the steaming heat in the celadon bowl between the two of them felt warm comfort in their hearts at the same time. Yun Jiang handed it over with the handle of the spoon in his hand, and pressed the sleeve at his wrist with the other hand, waiting for Lord Lang to take the spoon, so she looked at Yu Wentai's reaction.

Yu Wentai stretched out his hand, Yun Jiang noticed for the first time that his fingers were slender, and from this detail, the owner of this hand was not as resolute and decisive as the lord Lang in her image, but more like an elegant and gentle man. Yu Wentai's fingers touched the handle of the spoon, but he didn't take the spoon, his fingers slipped onto the back of Yun Jiang's hand, and suddenly opened his palm and held Yun Jiang's hand in his hand. He felt that Yun Jiang's hand was so cold, and silently wrapped Yun Jiang's hand in his palm.

"Lord Lang......" Yun Jiang blurted out, her hand trembled, and the spoon fell, landing right in the celadon bowl below.

"Your hands are so cold." Yu Wentai was extremely calm, he secretly clenched Yun Jiang's hand, and at the same time dragged her a little harder, pulling her from the side of the case to his side.

"Lord Lang, the porridge is going to be cold." Yun Jiang was pulled closer to him by him, the distance between them was less than a foot, and the moment she looked up in surprise and shyness, she saw his brows stretched, and there was a slight smile on his lips. Those big, dark eyes were full of light. This is the Lang master she had seen before.

Yu Wentai frowned suddenly, and once again unconsciously pressed his stomach with his other hand, which was still cramping. Yun Jiang had already made up his mind and made a great determination, and slowly raised his other hand and gently stroked the few fine beads of sweat on Yu Wentai's forehead.

"Lord Lang's heart is at peace and healthy, and the Great Wei can prosper the country and the people be happy." Yun Jiang looked at Yu Wentai and whispered.

Hearing this, Yu Wentai's heart was full of emotions that turned a thousand times all of a sudden, and everything returned to reality. He looked at Yun Jiang for a long time, and finally slowly let go of her, and said with a faint smile, "Listen to you." ”

As soon as he picked up the broad-handled spoon, he heard footsteps outside, and then there was an urgent call, "Lord Lang, the chariot general Yu Jin and the hussar general Zhao Gui are in a hurry to see." ”

Yun Jiang watched as Yu Wentai immediately put the spoon back, sat up straight, and commanded loudly outside, "Quickly invite the two generals in." At the same time, all the feelings and sorrows were swept away, so calm and stable waiting for Yu Jin and Zhao Gui. He reverted to the deep, majestic Prime Minister.

Yun Jiang was just about to get up and retreat, when he suddenly heard him whisper again, "You don't have to wait here, go back to sleep." ”

Yun Jiang's heart warmed and he stood up. When he looked at him again, he didn't look at her at all. At this time, Yu Jin and Zhao Gui had already been introduced.

Yun Jiang retreated.

Yu Jin and Zhao Gui came in and saluted hastily, as if they were a little absent-minded, but they didn't see how anxious they were.

Yu Wentai understood these two people very well in his heart, and put all his thoughts away, "If there is anything, just say it, don't let me ask." ”

Zhao Gui glanced at Yu Jin, and Yu Jin presented a scroll of silk that he had already held in his hand, "Duke Ming, the general Gao Cheng has already led his troops to Pujin Pass." ”

A faint sentence suddenly slammed down in Yuwentai's heart.

Yuwentai didn't look strange on the surface, and took the silk book and opened it to read it carefully. It was the inscription that Gao Cheng shot down across the river, and the words were very intense. Yu Jin and Zhao Gui had already seen it, and they were quietly and nervously waiting for what Yuwentai's reaction would be after reading it.

Zhao Gui finally couldn't help but blurt out Bo angrily, "The Eastern Thief takes advantage of the danger of others, if the Ming Duke allows it, Yuan Gui is willing to lead his troops to Pujin Pass to cross the river and fight him in a decisive battle." ”

Yu Wentai threw the silk book at random and let it fall on the desk in front of him. I had already begun to think about it in my heart, but on the surface, I asked, "Have you ever reported to the Lord?" ”

"I have sent someone to report to the Lord, and the Lord should have received the news." Yu Jin thought about it and replied.

"This matter is not suitable for private discussion, immediately enter the palace to meet the Lord, and pass on Duguxin, Li Bi and other generals to discuss it together." Yu Wentai stood up as he spoke, and once again endured the colic pain in his stomach. At a glance, I saw the red date corn porridge in the celadon bowl on the case, and there was no warmth at all.

suddenly remembered that the son of the Rouran family, Bald Tujia, was still in his own house, and the marriage had not yet been negotiated. It is said that it is not appropriate for him to know about the invasion of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, so as not to think about other things. But I can't hide it, if so, it's better to tell it yourself, if you can promise to send troops together with Rouran, it can also turn bad things into good things.

Yu Wentai thought in his heart that he had ordered someone to serve and change his court clothes, and was about to enter the palace.
