Chapter Forty-Six: The Time Has Come
The proposal to hold a big wedding in the Great Zhou was strongly opposed by the Hu people, and after a while, the peace of the two states was shelved indefinitely, and after discussing other peace matters, Mo Han and his party returned to the north with the national letter, and finally did not mention the word peace again.

At the beginning of the thirteenth year of Taihe.
With the help of the Hu people, he impatiently launched a war against the country, trying to prove his achievements to the world.
According to the alliance with the Hu people, the Great Zhou needed to attack the Luoyang line to attract the main force of the Qi State, and the Hu people attacked from Jining to the south and broke through Hengzhou, so that the Qi State fell into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.
How could the cunning Wen Hu obediently serve as a target for the Hu people, but he sent the auxiliary general Li An as the vanguard to feint Luoyang, and he commanded 200,000 troops as the successor troops in Yiyang, and Qi heard that Zhou sent troops, and immediately ordered 30,000 troops to be stationed in the north barrier of Luoyang, and 70,000 main forces rushed to Luoyang from Yecheng.
Although it was a feint, but the mountain is a branch of the Kushan Mountain, stretching for nearly two hundred miles from east to west, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li An attacked for several days and suffered heavy casualties.
After receiving the news of the fierce battle between the Zhou State and the Qi State in the Bishan Mountain, Hu Qi immediately sent troops south and went straight to Hengzhou.
Encountering the enemy on both sides, the government and the opposition of Qi were shaken, and seeing that the army of Zhou was slow to move, and the offensive of the Hu people was becoming more and more turbulent, they transferred the 70,000 troops supporting Luoyang to the north to resist the Hu iron cavalry.
When the news of the Hu people's war with the Qi State reached Yiyang as promised, Wen Hu finally took a reassuring pill and ordered Wen Zhi, who went out with the army, to take the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to cut off the main road to Heyang, and ordered the Qi army to attack Luoyang directly.
For a while, the war was raging on the land of China, and the Qi country was in danger of annihilation.
……
The night is as cool as water, under the cold moonlight, a brightly lit village traverses the general entrance of the road, there is a fire pile outside the village in 100 steps, and there are trenches in turn, sheep and horse walls in turn.
There are sentry posts around Dazhai, and the guard is very strict.
In the central tent of Dazhai.
"Boom!"
The plates and drinks on the table were overturned and spilled on the ground, and Wen Zhi stood with his sword in his hand, his eyes showing a fierce light, and his chest couldn't help but rise and fall.
Lu Tong persuaded: "Your Highness is angry. ”
Wen Zhi said angrily: "It still makes me angry!" I helped Wen Hu so much, and the old thief was afraid that I would steal the credit, so he actually sent me to this thankless place! ”
The entire Great Zhou knew that the capture of Luoyang was a great achievement, and Heyang would not only fail to get the credit, but would also be counterattacked by the reinforcements of the Qi State.
Lu Tong persuaded: "Your Highness, let's drink less, this army is full of people who are civilian." Now that the protector is in power and has the grace of the Holy Grace, we still need to be patient. ”
Wen Zhi's face became even more angry when he heard this: "Wen Yong, he is just a wreck, he hates Wen Hu to death, but he pretends to endure it." Isn't he unable to make up his mind? Good! I pushed him, but he still didn't dare, the mud couldn't hold up the wall! ”
Lu Tong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to advise: "Your Highness, this can't be nonsense!" ”
Wen Zhi took a sip of the wine jug in his hand, put a sword on Lu Tong's throat and said, "Let me tell you, if I become the emperor, I will definitely do better than Wen Yong!" ”
If he drank it again, something would really happen, so Lu Tong had to follow him and take the opportunity to take away the wine jug and sword in his hand to comfort him to rest.
As soon as he vented, Wenzhi lost his strength and fell asleep on the soft couch.
At dawn the next day, it was foggy.
The rapid shouting outside the tent woke Wen Zhi, and he dared to get up, but suddenly felt a splitting headache.
At this moment, Lu Tong, who was covered in blood, broke in from outside the tent and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, let's go quickly, the cavalry of the Qi people is almost here!" ”
Wen Zhi pushed him away and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" What about the barrier I set up outside the wall? How could Qi people fly in! ”
The shouting outside was getting closer and closer, and Lu Tong hurriedly reddened and said, "The Qi people are swimming from the direction of the Yangtze River!" Your Highness, let's go, if you don't leave, you won't be in a hurry! ”
The battle is close in front of the ear, and it seems that the big tent of the Chinese army is about to be broken through, Wen Zhi decisively said: "Lead the horse from the back tent, we will not return to Luoyang to the main formation, and go back to Chang'an directly!" ”
Taihe thirteen years
Emperor Murong Xuan of Qi divided his troops into three routes, one route was led by the general Pu Shaoguo to the north to fight against the Hu people, all the way to Luoyang with the army, confronted the Yuwen Hu army, and fought head-on, and one route was led by Murong Zonglu, who had just been promoted to the general of Jianzhong for his merits, led five thousand elite iron cavalry to swim in the water and attack Heyang, and then went north and rushed thousands of miles to attack the main force of the Zhou army.
Wen Zhi lost his position, because he was afraid of military law, so he fled back to Chang'an, resulting in Wen Hu not getting the news that the Heyang defense line was broken through, Murong Zonglu took advantage of the situation to raid the three blockades of the Zhou army within three days, and on the night of the fourth day, he attacked the rear camp of the Zhou army, and once hit the front of Wen Hu of the Chinese army. The next day, the Qi army took advantage of the low morale of the Zhou army to cover up and kill, and the Zhou army was defeated, and fought and retreated under the command of Wen Hu.
……
When Wen Zhi fled back and sought refuge in the Empress Dowager's palace, Wen Yong also learned about the Heyang Defense Line, and after repeated temptations, he understood that the time had come!
After another five days, the front-line military newspaper arrived in Chang'an, and the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was shaken.
Chen Cheng gave a large number of special approvals to Wen Hu for misleading the country in the court every day, and various undercurrents that had been suppressed by Wen Hu with power in the past resurged.
Wen Yong sat on the fish platform, did not say a word, turned around and sealed the situation between the DPRK and China into a book, sent it to Wen Hu's army, and asked Wen Hu to return to the army as soon as possible.
Wen Hu, who got the chaos of the court situation, immediately handed over the army to his son Wen Hui, and rushed back to Chang'an day and night to stabilize the court situation.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Wen Yong kept wiping the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand.
There are only two people in the next head, Wen Xin and Wang Gui.
Putting the sword of the Son of Heaven in his hand, Wen Yong's eyes flashed with a cold light and ordered: "Wen Xin, you will choose a trustworthy person from among the guards tomorrow to be on guard outside my imperial study. Remember, you must not exceed the usual number of guards, Wen Hu is extremely suspicious, if there are too many people, he will see through it, and when he enters the imperial study, immediately close the door and kill Wen Hu and the others! ”
"Command!"
Wen Xin was a little skeptical, "Your Majesty, Wen Hu's kung fu is not weak, don't you inform Wen Jian?" ”
Wen Yong shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate Wen Hu, I don't know how many people in the Imperial Forest Prison were installed by him, for the sake of insurance, even Wen Jian can't say anything about this." Tomorrow, let Liang Shiyan lead the rest of the guards to guard the gate of the inner palace, and once Wen Hu enters the palace, immediately block the palace gate, not to mention the imperial forest supervisor, even if Wen Jian comes in person, he will block me from the outside. ”
Wang Gui asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you ready to control the Chang'an tribes?" ”
Wen Yong's eyes sank and said: "The minister does not lose his body, the king does not lose the country, the more you do, the greater the possibility of leaking secrets, I would rather be chaotic than leak a trace of news." As long as there is nothing but cultural protection, all parties will naturally follow, and I will have time to clean up the remaining miscellaneous fish! ”
Wang Gui hesitated a little, and admonished: "Can Your Majesty leave Wen to protect his life, in order to show benevolence, so that Wen Hu Lao will not resist too much, and now the 100,000 troops who have returned to the dynasty may be able to pass on the message." ”
Wen Yong's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "One day of the troubles of the tiger, if Kuanren is the Ming Jun, then I would rather be a faint monarch, not a sage." ”
Being able to be convened by the emperor to secretly discuss the killing of the ministers, this is undoubtedly cited as a confidant, as long as he becomes a sure leader, Wen Xin could not hide his excitement: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will arrange it!" ”
Wen Yong said coldly: "Don't worry, there is still something for you to do!" ”
