The atmosphere in the whole Guanzhong is very weird, although there are eight powerful Zhuguo generals and Yuwen Hu to support it, but everyone is beating the drum in their hearts, this Yuwentai died and let an eight-year-old child rule the entire Guanzhong and Bashu, there are strong enemies outside, and there are intrigues inside, everyone is looking for a way and looking for the future. As a result, some ill-intentioned people began to surface and wait for an opportunity.

Here we need to briefly introduce the current situation in Guanzhong, first of all, Yuwen Hu and Yuwen Dao, Yuwen Huan is also the general of the chariot and cavalry and the two positions of Yongzhou Assassin Shi, the original elite soldiers under his command of nearly 20,000 people, Yuwentai took over his elite troops of 30,000 people after his death, and there are 50,000 horses under his command at this moment, plus 15,000 people in the forbidden army of Gong Guarding Chang'an, a total of about 70,000 people.

Yuwen Dao served as the assassin of Ganzhou, and his army also had more than 10,000 people, but most of them were stationed in Jincheng, Guangwu, Wushi and other counties, and he only had less than 2,000 men and horses in Xianyang, but you must know that his father-in-law was Dugu Xin, one of the generals of the Zhu Kingdom. So he is also very popular in Chang'an.

Li Hu, the general of the Eight Pillars, this person's ancestor is the emperor, his fifth ancestor is Li Wei, the monarch of Xiliang during the Sixteen Kingdoms, and his father is Li Tianci, the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but Li Hu is powerful because of his kindness and benevolence, he likes to read but prefers to ride and shoot, he was a man in his youth, famous in the Guannei, and was later recruited by He Bayue under his command, and since then he has embarked on the road of joining the army. The most powerful thing about him is that he later has a grandson named Li Yuan, if Gao Huan (Cheng Lu) did not become the overlord of the world and history was not changed, everyone could understand what would happen.

Li Hu is serving as the assassin of Huazhou at the moment, Huazhou is the gateway of the Western Wei Dynasty to the Central Plains, and the town generals here have always been served by prominent families, and there are nearly 13,000 elite soldiers under his command, which is a force that cannot be ignored.

Li Bi, the general of the Eight Pillars State, is relying on the Liangzhou Assassin History of Yizhou, this manpower is infinite, in the early years was a member of Erzhu Tianguang's generals, and later followed into the customs, in the war to eliminate Wan Qiu Chou Nu fought bravely and won a lot, promoted to Hou Mo Chen Yue's general, after Hou Mo Chen Yue died in Qinzhou, he then transferred to Yuwentai to serve, was appointed as the Liangzhou Assassin History, with 20,000 troops under his command.

Dugu Xin, the general of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, he is the assassin of the Western Wei Dynasty, the biggest advantage of this person is that he has many daughters, and they are all married to famous families, and the marriage of the Hao family is the biggest reason why he can stand tall in Guanzhong, his eldest daughter married Yuwendao, the second daughter married Yang Zhong's eldest son Yang Jian, and the third daughter is the wife of the prince Yuwenliu, which was the princess selected by Yuwentai personally for Yuwenliu. However, due to the small number of people in the city, his power is not strong, and all his subordinates add up to only 10,000 horses, but most of them are cavalry, and he is inextricably linked with the Turkic Tarhan.

Hou Mo Chen Chong, the general of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, is the assassin of Qinzhou, don't confuse him with Hou Mo Chen Yue and think that they are a family, they just have the same surname, and the age difference between the two is nearly twenty years. Hou Mo Chen is a compound surname, they are the division of the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Hou Mo Chen Chong's ancestors have always been the generals of the Northern Wei Palace, the military guards and other military attachés. He was brave and resolute from an early age, good at riding and shooting, and cautious in his words and deeds.

When Hou Mo Chen Chong was young, he followed Er Zhurong and He Bayue to crusade against Ge Rong, and later followed Yuan Tianmu to suppress Xing Yun, a homeless man in Qingzhou, and worshiped General Jianwei. Later, he belonged to the command of He Batyue, and after He Batyue's death, he defected to Yuwentai, who was famous at that time, and became a brother with a different surname with him. In the war of Wan Qian Chounu, he also made many military exploits and was appointed as the assassin of Qinzhou. He had more than 20,000 men under his command.

The remaining generals of the Eight Pillars Kingdom are basically known to everyone, Han Xiong was appointed to assassinate the state, and Han Baohu was his general. Yang Zhong concurrently served as the assassin of Qizhou and Xi'an, and his son Yang Jian was Duguxin's son-in-law. Wei Shouding was transferred to Yizhou Thorn History, before he was Yongzhou Thorn History, why this person was able to get Yuwentai's favor at a young age, on the one hand, his own ability was outstanding, and the other is said that he and Yuwentai only had the good of Longyang. In short, at this moment, he became the emperor of the soil in the south outside Yizhou, and no one dared to despise him. Shi Gaobin, the assassin of East Qinzhou, did not show up for the time being, and will introduce this person in detail later.

In addition to these eight people, there is also a fierce general in the Western Wei court, that is, Yuan Xin, the distant uncle of the emperor Yuanbao, and the brother of the abolished emperor Yuangong of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although this person is not good at fighting, he has always been loyal to the royal family, and Yuwentai coveted the throne but never dared to make trouble, largely because of the existence of this person.

So now the question is, after the death of Yuwentai, who will control the entire Western Wei regime, Yao has now regarded himself as a surviving person to listen to the government, she also let her brother Yao Chen lead the palace guards, and appointed her brother-in-law Wang Sun Ke as Tai Changqing, and his uncle Gongsun Man as Da Changqiu, although he is not a big official, but this has shown Yao's ambition to intervene in the government and want to control the Western Wei Dynasty.

As the minister of Gu Ming, Yuwen Hu naturally did not dare to be lonely, he wanted to seduce the Yao family, and then manipulate Yuwen Liu, so that the entire Western Wei would become his. The generals of the Eight Pillar States look very polite and humble on the outside, but they do not obey each other in terms of political opinions, and they control each other's elbows and dig holes with each other, in short, the entire regime of the Western Wei Dynasty seems very delicate.

Emperor Yuanbao was not idle, he took back the appointment power of Jingzhou, Xiazhou, and Gaoping on the grounds of Yuwentai's death, and let Yuan Xin regent these three regions as the emperor's general agent. Li Hu contacted Li Bi, Han Xiong, Yang Zhong and others to jointly write a letter saying that this was inappropriate, and wanted the emperor to take back his fate. When the second time is so sensitive, with the emperor and the person, there is obviously the idea of splitting the earth and sealing the king.

He Batsheng, the fourth brother of Gao Huan, the elder brother of He Batyue, served as the governor of Sizhou and the governor of Henan at this time, and had nearly 40,000 horses stationed in Yecheng, and his son 14-year-old He Batzhong was in the first battle with the Western Wei army earlier. After the ancient generals, as long as they go into battle for the first time, whether they kill the enemy or not, even if it is a coming-of-age ceremony, they can be regarded as stepping into the ranks of military generals and embarking on the journey of martial arts.

He Batzhonghua's initial battle indicates that there is a successor to He Bat's victory, and if his younger brother He Batyue's branch is lucky, he can also let the second or third son succeed him in the future and continue the incense. He Batzhonghua is also a leader among the young talents of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Wen Taowu has a set of military and political ethics, plus He Batsheng's allocation, this kid is very general at a young age. Even Gao Huan couldn't help but admire when he saw it, Yuan Shu's words of praising Sun Ce were really heartfelt.

Of course, the rising stars also include Sima Ziru's son Sima Zhen, Sun Teng's son Sun Fengzhen, these people are all a generation of newcomers that people look forward to, plus Gao Huan's eldest son Gao Zihui, who is growing up, Gao Huan feels that his country is full of vitality and hope.

Murong Shaozong's son was also born not long ago, because the first was a daughter, so he always hoped that Gao Lan could give birth to a son for him, but fortunately, he had a second child in the autumn of the second year.

Qingluo and Gao Huan reported the coup d'état of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the news of Yuwentai's unexpected death had an incredible impact on the entire Chinese history, Gao Huan deeply understood in his heart that fate had been changed, and many things would become completely different from before, and dynasties like the Sui and Tang dynasties may have disappeared in the long river of Chinese history, at least the Sui Dynasty is difficult to establish. Because the founder of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, is dead. The country of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not even appear in the history of this moment.

Gao Huan felt that since he had changed the trajectory of history, and even the direction of world history had become confusing, then he should be worthy of this mission, to reunify the Central Plains, which had been divided for hundreds of years, and to promote his prestige overseas, so that he could establish a vast hegemony, and even pass this hegemony to his children and grandchildren.

Although the development of human science and technology is progressive, it does not mean that it cannot leap forward, as long as the human, material and financial resources can meet the requirements, many black technologies can be invented and manufactured, in order to achieve this grand goal, Gao Huan has silently begun to prepare, first of all, to unify China.

In order to brainstorm, Gao Huan gathered all his relatives and cronies to hold a meeting, and the content of the meeting was to go south or west first. Everyone knew what Gao Huan meant, so they began to speak about their ideas.

The first to speak was Sima Ziru, who felt that the army should go west first, because there was no pressure in the south, and it was all a plate of scattered Southern Liang remnants, which was not a problem at all, and they should take advantage of the fact that the Turks and Murwei were inseparable, and give priority to solving the Yuwen family, which was a big trouble. This view is supported by Sun Teng, He Batsheng and others.

Then it was Yang Xiuzhi who spoke, he felt that the outside must first be at ease, in order to eliminate the worries, the main forces such as Gao Yue and Gao Longzhi were pulled out of the quagmire of the Southern Liang as soon as possible, because the priority should be given to solving the problem of the Southern Liang, coupled with factors such as Hou Jing and Xiao Duo, there are not a few people who support this view, such as Xu Mingzhi and the civil official faction. In short, they meant to save money, avoid fighting on multiple fronts, give priority to eating the weakest to strengthen their strength, and finally concentrate on fighting the Turks with all their strength in solving the secondary. The disadvantage of this method is that it takes a long time, but it is safer.

In the end, the military generals were mainly Gao Aocao and Murong Shaozong, they had no ideas, as long as Gao Huan gave the order to fight, they would go wherever they wanted, but I hope that this time they can solve an enemy at one time and then withdraw the army, and every time they fight halfway through, it will be useless, both the people and the money will be wasted, Gao Huan listened and thought to himself, I don't want to solve all the enemies at once, but the reality sometimes does not allow us to change the strategy.

So two people who knew different people began to discuss which way to go, and after arguing for a long time, no one could convince anyone, and finally Gao Huan made his own decision, first solve the problem of Nanliang, why not solve the Yuwen family in front of him, he has his own considerations, first of all, although Yuwentai is dead, but the strength of the Western Wei in Guanzhong has not received any damage, and secondly, although the various factions of the audience are fighting openly and secretly, but the attitude of the Eastern Wei against Gao Huan is indeed unprecedented, at this time, if the army goes to attack, I am afraid that it will be dragged in the Guanzhong area and unable to extricate itself, In case the Turks in the north attack again in the spring of next year, Gao Huan will be attacked by the enemy on his back and the situation will be worrying.

In fact, he has long understood that this is the same as when Cao Cao gave up chasing and killing Yuan Shao's two sons, some people are like this, the more you bully them outsider, the more internal unity they have, but once the external force disappears, these people will begin to fight and consume each other. In fact, the same is true of the Western Wei Dynasty, first of all, the existence of factions shows that the ruling class of Yuwentai has always been in a state of parliamentary joint government, while Gao Huan's Eastern Wei Dynasty is just the opposite, he adopts centralized power, has his own orders, and the decrees come from Gao Longzhi, Yang Xiuzhi, Xu Mingzhi and others. In the military aspect, he signed and led the team, and his subordinates were three generations of old, middle-aged and young generals.

Because the government decree is more open-minded, and the anti-corruption is more ruthless, so the people can live and work in peace and contentment, coupled with the loose economy, the city has been opened, and even the countries in the Western Regions have dealings, which makes Gao Huan's rule more stable, of course, it is not an enlightened and prosperous era, but even so it is much better than the Western Wei Dynasty, and even worse than the Southern Liang.
