Yang Xiuzhi is the most newcomer and now has no capital to sell the old in front of these old oilers, so he said very sincerely at the moment: "Xia Guan thinks that with our strength, it is better to surround but not fight, the thirty army pressed into the pass, and surrounded them several important towns, as long as the grain and grass supply in the rear is timely, we can afford to surround it for a year and a half, and burn his grain depot in the grange of sending light cavalry to attack and harass Yuwentai, and then he will definitely not last long before he collapses." An army without food supplies can be completely ineffective. ”

I have to say that Yang Xiuzhi's strategy is very vicious and safe, and the war has been burning on the territory of Yuwentai in Guanzhong, where does he have time to farm and engage in economy, and it is too late to fight fires everywhere. Gao Huan just felt that one of the drawbacks of this strategy was that it consumed too much national strength, and it was really a protracted battle for national strength.

Although Gao Huan's current population strength can completely gamble with Yuwentai, there is not only Yunweitai as an enemy in this world, there are Rouran and the newly rising Turkic tribes in the north, and Xiao Yan's Liang State in the south. If the internal friction runs out of money, it is very likely that people will profit, and they will eventually become a delicacy in other people's mouths. This is not what Gao Huan wants to see.

At the moment he did not say that he agreed or objected. At that time, Sun Teng said a little worriedly: "King, although Lord Yang's strategy is good, but if it is consumed with Yuwentai for a long time, I am afraid that other forces will take advantage of the situation. There is also Nanliang Xiao Yan, this person is eloquent and strategic, and he has always had the idea of occupying the Central Plains. We had to guard against it. ”

Speaking of this defense against Nanliang, Gao Huan remembered someone: Hou Jing. This man has been stationed in Huainan for some days. At that time, there was something in Shandong, in order to prevent Nanliang from sending troops to support. Gao Huancai did not move his troops. At this moment, if the Huainan Hou Jingbu is transferred to increase the chances of Tongguan's victory, will it be a bit risky.

It's a dilemma. Murong Heng saw Gao Huan's difficult choice, so he said to him with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, lord, we might as well act according to Lord Sun's plan first, and wait for the army to cross the river and enter Guanzhong before we have the opportunity to act." Lord Yang's strategy can only be implemented in Guanzhong, isn't it? It was the old master's words that made Gao Huan feel a lot more at ease, so he immediately ordered and decided to say to everyone: "Okay, let's follow what the old master said, first confuse the enemy to attack the west, and wait until the Yellow River is successfully crossed." So he got up and said to the man, "I will command now." Send a secret letter to Master Sima of Tongguan, and we will do our best to confuse the enemy, so that he can see the opportunity to break through Tongguan as soon as possible, so that we can meet in Tongguan. According to the full preparation of the previous deployment, Gao Yue is responsible for finding a place to build a pontoon bridge on both sides of the Yellow River. That's all for today's military meeting, it's all gone. ”

Everyone then got up and left, Gao Huan turned around to write a secret letter to Sima Ziru, this is Yang Xiuzhi saw that everyone was gone, so he came to Gao Huan's side and whispered: "King." Xia Guan has something to say. Gao Huan raised his head and looked at him and smiled, "Why does Lord Yang have anything else to say?" ”

Yang Xiuzhi said embarrassedly: "As soon as the lower official came, he was entrusted with a heavy task by the king to go out with the army, and he felt that he had a lot of stakes. Gao Huan was a little surprised. This Yang Xiuzhi was originally transferred to the capital by himself from other places, originally she just wanted to experience the experience first, but he didn't expect that he was very attentive when he arrived, and within half a month of coming, he sorted out all the cases that had been backlogged in Yecheng Taishou Mansion for nearly three years. He was not afraid of the powerful and insisted on killing a few corrupt "chickens" to show the monkeys, and the people of Yecheng praised and admired him. Those dignitaries and nobles avoided him like they saw ghosts, and he didn't care about himself. After finishing business every day, I leisurely drink tea, read books, play chess and play the piano, and live a very literary and nourishing life.

It is said that someone once sent a killer to kill him in the middle of the night, who knew that the killer went there and felt that this person had a clean sleeve, and he was a rare clean official in this era, so he did not kill him, but left a letter accusing him of buying the murderer. At this time, Yang Xiuzhi's reputation became even more famous, and some self-regarded literati and scholars in Yecheng began to associate with him one after another, which is called vassal elegance.

Gao Huan admired his hard-working and hard-working style, and immediately asked: "If Lord Yang still has any questions, just say it, and we will discuss and solve it together." He thought that Yang Xiuzhi was nothing more than complaining about his unsociability and isolation within the Gao Huan Group, so he had no reason but to calm down and listen to him first.

"Xia Guan thinks that now we are facing off against the two armies of Yuwentai, if we can get the support of Rouran in the north, it would be the best, since we and they are already allies, why not use their strength, in an easier and faster way to end this war, the world has been in turmoil for a long time, the people have been in dire straits, and the frequent wars I think it is already a matter of deviating from the hearts of the people, the king will complete the great cause of reunification as soon as possible, and the people will get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, which is a great achievement that will go down in history."

Gao Huan was very satisfied with his last sentence, which shows that Yang Xiuzhi thinks the same as himself, and thinks that he is a great man who has the ability to complete the initiative of unifying China, which makes Gao Huan feel happy in his heart, a little bit of the feeling that the world is not me, and he said very domineeringly: "I have long felt guilty of the difficult and miserable life of the people, and I have long wanted to complete the great cause of unifying the world, and now with the assistance of Aiqing, I hope that we can complete this great cause together as soon as possible." His name for Yang Xiuzhi was changed to Aiqing, and at this time, Gao Huan was already immersed in the dream of victory.

"I'm going to ask my brother-in-law, Ejit, to go back to my father-in-law and ask him to send troops to help us." Gao Huanmei began to fantasize about what he would look like after the victory, and this time Yuwentai was dead.

Gao Yue's pontoon bridge was a bit loud, this was what Murong Heng taught him to do on purpose, just to attract Yuwentai's attention, but will this Yuwentai really be fooled?

In Chang'an City, Yuwentai has already summoned all the military generals at the school level to discuss matters in the emperor's palace, and Emperor Wei Wendi Yuanbao is only the nominal emperor at this time, and the real power is in the hands of Yuwentai.

After Xie Sichun perished in Erzhu Zhao, he fled to Guanzhong and joined Yuwentai. At this time, he served as a military sacrificial wine under his account, and he was on the right side of the stage. He and Su Xuan, the first strategist of the Western Wei Dynasty (Jun Sima, Daxingtai Zuocheng), were the right-hand men of Yuwentai and the two Yuan generals.

Speaking of this, Su Sui is also a very interesting talent in Guanzhong. He is a native of Wugong County, Fufeng County. The family is an ancestral official professional household, and since the Han Dynasty, it has been a family of Jiuqing and Taishou. Therefore, Su Sui can be said to have lived in the circle of how to be an official since he was a child, and he is very clear about the rules of officialdom.

Some nouveau riche (who buy officials) or new officials who have been recommended in Guanzhong have to visit his home and ask some ways to be officials in the local area before they can officially start working, otherwise they will often make jokes and then seek the Su family to solve them.

Most of Su Sui's family members are under Yuwentai, when Yuwentai just entered the customs, the Su family was the first to stand up to support him, so for the children of the Su family, Yuwentai always chose his virtuous and appointed him, such as his cousin Su Rang. At that time, it was the history of Fenzhou's assassination, because Qian Yuwentai personally saw him off, and asked casually: There are still children in the family who can go out of business. Su Rang took the opportunity to recommend Su Sui to him and praised him like a flower, which was amazing.

Yuwentai then summoned Su Xuan to meet him, talked a few words, and put him in the position of Xingtai Lang to exercise. Just imagine that Langzhong's official position belongs to a high position from the fourth grade, and a young man was appointed as such a big official because he was a child of the Su family and said a few words to Yuwentai. Is this something that the average person can do?

Of course, from the perspective of Su Sui's family, this Langzhong is just an overused stepping stone, you must know that his family is either a feudal official or a humerus in the court, and he doesn't pay attention to these four or five grades of official positions at all. In addition, Su Xuan did not have any outstanding achievements in the early days of his tenure. For more than a year on the job, he has been doing things in a regular manner. It didn't attract Yuwentai's attention for a while.

The so-called gold will always shine, and bald will always fall off. What can make Yuwentai see Su Sui's special talent is the Zhou Huida Q&A incident. In order to make everyone more aware of the ins and outs of the matter, I have to repeat here again who Zhou Huida is. This Zhou Huida is more than ten years older than Su Xuan. is a native of Yanchuan, Shaanxi, and has a close relationship with Xiao Baoyin, who gathered people to rebel in Guanzhong before. Xiao Baoyin had the grace of helping him, and later Xiao Baoyin was defeated and died. Zhou Huida surrendered to Yuwentai.

When Su Hui was not yet famous, this Zhou Huida was already quite famous in the Guanzhong area, and he was a member of Yuwentai's most important ministers. Both major policies and basic people's policies are implemented only after his deliberations, and they have the appearance of Xie Si Chun's second.

But one day Yuwentai asked a question about farming because of the temporary rise, Zhou Huida couldn't answer for a while, so he could only come out between lunches to find Su Hui who worked in the government office to solve it, Zhou Huida was also an old gentleman, and called Su Hui over, saying that he wanted to rely on his talent, but he didn't expect Su Hui to explain things clearly easily, and what he said was the way. After lunch, Zhou Huida returned Su Sui's answer to Yuwentai, who was quite satisfied after listening to it, but then asked, "Who came up with this idea for you?" Zhou Huida deserved to be an old man, and immediately said Su Hui's name and praised his talent. Yuwentai also remembered this person, so he said: "I know this person." In this way, he was transferred to his prime minister's mansion as Cao Shuzuo. This is equivalent to the position of Yuwentai's personal secretary. Although the official position is a subordinate official, he doesn't even have a grade, but he follows Yuwentai everywhere all day long, which is a climbing dragon and a phoenix that others can't ask for.

Once Yuwentai took the ministers to inspect outside, and when he passed by Kunming Pond, he saw the ruins of the Western Han Dynasty, Yuwentai wanted to see the level of knowledge of these locals about cultural relics, so he asked them: "Who of you knows the story of this place?" None of the casual ministers could answer, and at this time, Su Sui, who was standing at the end of the line, stepped forward to tell the story of this ruin, and Yuwentai laughed and was very satisfied with him. At the moment, he asked him some guidelines for governing the country and the reasons for the rise and fall of the past dynasties, Su Sui answered calmly and easily, coupled with his ability to speak well and answer fluently, not only Yu Wentai, but also those important ministers and officials who accompanied him were very admired.

Yuwentai immediately stopped the inspection, and was very happy to pull Su Sui and him back to Chang'an slowly, and the two talked secretly in Yuwentai's prime minister's mansion that night, and both the monarch and the minister were very happy. Immediately, Yuwentai said to Xie Sichun: "This Su Sui really has some ability, I want to appoint him as a big responsibility." So just like Liu Bangbai Han Xin appointed Su Sui as the Xingtai Zuocheng, the young Su Sui suddenly stepped onto the pinnacle of politics, which was a sensational event at that time, and even Gao Huan and Murong Heng, who were far away in Yecheng, had heard of it.

So at this moment, after Yu Wentai was clear about Gao Huan's marching intentions, he also hoped that Xie Sichun and Su Sui could give him advice, because the reality was that he was having a worse life than Gao Huan, and he urgently needed to solve this matter safely, otherwise there was only one way to perish waiting for him.
