Chapter 266: Political Maneuvers
Gao Bin's remnants of the defeated army will flee back to the central county after the cattle, Gao Bin learned the news, immediately rushed from Lucheng to the central county in person, he needs to stabilize people's hearts at the moment, so he only lost one battle, not all the losses. When the www.biquge.info came to the central county, the three thousand disciples under him also gathered and spontaneously came to help. Speaking of these disciples under Gao Bin, although most of them are flashy straw bales, or mediocre talents who can only sit and talk, there are also a few people who really have the ability, but he didn't find it himself.
Gao Bin is also a veteran who has been in the officialdom for many years and has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he thinks that he still has a good chance of winning against someone like the unknown Cui Meng. So after the deployment of the central county, he took the initiative to lead 25,000 people south to the stone fort to challenge Cui Meng, wanting to rescue Helian Wutu. But Xie Sichun knew that Gao Bin personally led the team to challenge, and he didn't dare to underestimate it, and told Cui Meng from time to time not to be careless. Cui Meng couldn't stand his endless nagging bombardment, and said, "Is that Gao Bingo really so powerful?" I'm going to meet him. ”
Here Yuwen Hu listened to the argument between Yang Zhong and the Wei family in the court, the two families were in trouble today, the emperor and Guangling Wang Yuanxin were also listening, at this time the eunuch sent good news, the emperor looked at the face after looking at it, and then Yuwen Hu took it over and took a look, it turned out to be Xie Sichun and Cui Meng's stone castle victory. This can be regarded as a shot in the arm for the Yuwen clan, who is currently in a worrying position, and Yuwen Hu proudly shook the good news in his hand and said: "When you are still here arguing with each other like shrews buying vegetables in the market, see what everyone is doing?" After speaking, he threw the good news to the eunuch, turned around and left the court with a high spirit.
The emperor was half angry with him, and said in his heart, you don't take Lao Tzu in your eyes at all, I haven't said the ebb tide in this court, you say go, you think you're traveling. Other courtiers took the good news and watched, some were amazed, some were disdainful and disdainful. Especially Han Xiong and Li Hu, they are very unconvinced, the second-rate martial arts under a mere Gaobin account will be captured, what is there to boast about, tens of thousands of people against a small city of stone forts, easily take it is nothing to show off.
Both of them are like competing on the battlefield, but the lawsuit between the Assassin Wei family and the Yang family has made everyone involved and unable to get out, and everything can only be started when this matter is over. The most important thing is that there have been rumors in Chang'an City recently, one time some people say that Li Hu wants to take refuge in Gao Huan, and the other time it is said that Han Xiong has colluded with the Turks in the north, although they are all folk legends and gossip, but these things will be passed on and some people will believe, such as King Guangling and Yuan Baoju, and then such as Yuwen Hu who is like a frightened bird at this time.
No one knows where the source of these news came from, but smart people know at a glance that at this time, someone is leading the rhythm and deliberately walking these news, so as to make the Western Wei regime unstable, Su Sui is one of the people who see the real situation, but he has been silent in the court at the moment. He just wanted to watch from the sidelines how the Western Wei regime collapsed.
In Xiangguo's mansion, Yuwen Hu was intimate with his concubine with nothing to do, and Yuwen Xin came in and reported: "General Han asks to see him." So he just got up and went to the living room, he was a little tired lately, and he was a little exhausted. Every day is as busy as a spinning top, and those people take it for granted, which makes Yuwen Hu very disappointed, originally he was not the material of the person in power, at the beginning Yuwentai said that he was brave and difficult to achieve great things, no problem to be an official, and he couldn't be a powerful hero.
Now he has to admire his uncle's unique vision of people, and he is a little bit of a person who can't help Adou. When Han Xiong came in, he clasped his fists and said, "Enxiang, today in the court, I see that your face is not safe, are you troubled by the Wei family and the Yang family?" If so, I am willing to let the Wei family withdraw the lawsuit and no longer entangle with the Yang family, but now that foreign enemies are around, and we are busy with internal fighting, this is not a good sign. ”
Yuwen said with a heart: You are only talking about this now, why did you go earlier, even if the Wei family is willing to give up now, I am afraid that Yang Zhong will not give in, not to mention that there is Duguxin and Li Hu behind him. So he pretended to be polite and said: "General Han is too worried, Lone is not worried about the affairs of the two of them, but as you said, now that our country is surrounded by strong enemies, we have not dealt with it properly, but we have wasted our time and efforts on internal friction, which is what worries me." ”
As soon as Han Xiong heard that this was a place for the two monarchs and ministers, he patted his chest and asked for battle: "The last general is willing to share the worries of the prime minister, as long as you have something to do, as long as you give an order, I, Han Xiong, will never give up." Yuwen Hu was a little comforted when he heard this, although the Han family's father and son did not have high emotional intelligence, they were still loyal, and they might really have something to entrust them with in the future. So I told him what I thought in my heart, the two had been spying for a long time, and Han Xiong went home after dinner in Xiangguo's Mansion that day.
In the dungeon of the stone castle here, Xie Sichun is plotting against Helian Wutu, what he is best at is this kind of trick, dealing with different people, finding their weaknesses, and finally making them all willing to worship at his feet, he likes this sense of satisfaction and achievement, it is his wish to conquer everyone, although some people can never be conquered by him, but it is acceptable to conquer most people.
Helian Wutu looked like a lost dog, timid and scared, and he didn't have the domineering spirit of the battle that day. The tall body was curled up in a ball, hidden in the dark and damp dungeon, and when he first entered, he was hungry because of the shouting all day. The prison guards saw that he was tall and big, and they didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't give him food or drink for three days, and the grandson immediately softened, as the so-called people are iron and rice are steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be hungry and panic, and a "heroic man" like Helian Wutu will also kneel down in front of a bowl of rice.
When he was hungry and exhausted, the guards began to torture him, stabbing him with sticks through the cage and beating him, harassing him day and night to prevent him from sleeping. It's only been a few days, Helian Wutu is already in high spirits, haggard, and dying of hunger. In fact, Xie Sichun arranged for someone to do all this, and as soon as they met here today, he pretended to be very angry and asked, "Who asked you to make our distinguished guests like this?" It's so rude. After speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him through the cage.
Whoever is going to be invited to the cell and locked up, although Helian Wutu is not interested in his nonsense, but at the moment he has no strength to argue with this gentleman, he can only lie on the ground and gasp for breath. Xie Sichun saw that he probably didn't have the strength to hurt himself, so he ordered someone to open the cage door, let people bring in the bath bucket for bathing, and said to Helian Wutu: "The general doesn't have to be angry, please wash up first, I will prepare wine and food in the next room and wait for the general." As he spoke, he took the lead in the next room.
Helian Wutu struggled to get up, he was full of anger, he wanted to take a bath, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in this Xie Sichun gourd, but now he had nothing to fear, so he stripped naked and jumped into the bucket to take a bath, this hot bath and an empty stomach made him weak, dizzy and dizzy.
Finally took a shower and was escorted to the next room by the servant, only to see that the table was full of wine and food, he had not eaten for a few days, at this time he saw the white-flour steamed buns on the table and he felt that it was better than the beef and mutton he had robbed when he was a bandit in the mountains, Xie Sichun sat on the top and smiled slightly, and said to him: "General, please come in, prepare a little wine below, and want to catch up with the general."
