Chapter 190: The Palace Fight of the Western Wei Dynasty
Channu's first reaction was not grief, because she knew that grief could not bring her son back to life, she did two things, the first sent someone to inform Yuwentai, who was in Henan, that his eldest son was dead. Then it is to inform the mother's family not to make trouble, because everyone knows that Yuwen Liu and Yuwen Wuji are mortal enemies, but after the failure of Chan Nu's assassination, Yuwen Liu and Yao's revenge will definitely follow, so the biggest suspects in Yuwen Wuji's death at this moment are their mother and son.
Chan Nu is worthy of being a witty and intelligent woman, although she didn't know about Yuwen Wuji's design to assassinate Yuwen Liu (otherwise the assassination would not have failed), and after learning about it, she was furious and accused the person who came up with this method of being a fool, but unfortunately the East Window incident happened, Chan Nu could only find a way to settle the turmoil caused by this matter for him, but helplessly wave after wave, her son Yuwen Wuji died tragically, but with the intuition and keen political sense of many years of harem fighting, She found that it was unlikely that this incident was the work of Yuwenliu's faction.
In fact, it is indeed as she thought, the initiator of this incident is Yuwentai who said that the queen married a wife: the princess of the Yuan royal family, the sister of Emperor Ming Yuanbao. Why did she also participate in this battle for the heir, this matter has to start from the fact that she just married Yu Wentai. When she fled from Luoyang to Guanzhong with her brother, Yuan Baoli wanted to marry Yuan Xiao to him in order to win over and control Yuwentai.
In order to improve his worth and status, but also to show the symbol of the power of the royal family, and to provide conditions for his usurpation of the throne in the future, he was of course very happy to marry the princess, and he himself did not marry a wife for many years, and the intention was to wait for the price and sell after meeting the right political candidate, he could help himself obtain greater rights and interests.
But Princess Yuanyu was already twenty years old at that time, and she already had a sweetheart, but she parted ways with him, one in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the other in the Western Wei Dynasty, and she had already heard of Yuwentai's actions, and felt that this person was not enough to be trusted, and it was not worth entrusting for life. In order to recover the great cause of the Wei Kingdom, Yuan Baoyuan forced her to marry Yuwentai, so the two sides were very unhappy.
Yu Wentai also learned that Princess Yuanyu was not interested in him, and he was not discouraged, because his intuition told him that he must seize this opportunity and must marry Yuanyu. He tried his best to get all kinds of treasures and strange things in the Western Regions just to please Yuan Xiao, but Yuan Xiao just missed his lover who was far away day and night, and from time to time he sent people to secretly go to the Eastern Wei Dynasty to inquire about the lover.
After Yuwentai learned about it, he felt that if he wanted to marry this princess, he had to cut off her thoughts and cut off her thoughts, so Nan Batian appeared, and the first task of Xiaoyao Pavilion was to assassinate Princess Yuanyu's lover, not only to assassinate him, but also to make his reputation stink: it was rumored that he was involved with a maid, and he also had an affair with a married man, and the most exaggerated thing was to find an old woman in her fifties to frame him, saying that he had defiled his thirteen-year-old granddaughter.
When all this reached the ears of Princess Yuanxiao, she couldn't believe all this, but this person was dead without proof, Princess Yuanxiao was very sad and sad, sad for herself, sad for her lover, she still didn't believe it all. It was Yuanbao's aggressiveness and Yuwentai's attentive care that made her close to collapse, and at this moment something happened that she didn't expect, Yuanbao refused to use drugs to stun her under Yuwentai's hint, and then sent her to Yuwentai.
When Yuan Xiao woke up, everything had already happened, she was lying naked on Yuwentai's bed, and the powerful effect of the drug made her unable to resist Yuwentai's assault again. At that time, Princess Yuanyu thought of suicide, but Yuwentai sent people to look at her without leaving, so that she had no chance to be alone. Princess Yuanyu lived like a soulless corpse, and after about half a year, she was suddenly told that she was pregnant, and there was no doubt that Yuwentai often raped her, and finally made her pregnant.
Yuwentai was crazy to learn the news, but Princess Yuanyu fell into deep despair again, and when she was about three months pregnant, she gradually learned the truth about the lover, at that moment she tried everything to get rid of the child on her body, she felt that this was God's punishment for her, and committed suicide again, after being rescued, the grandmother persuaded her to want to open something, the child is innocent and something like that.
From that moment on, Princess Yuanyu began to plan to take revenge on Yuwentai, and after she learned about Yuwen Wuji and Yuwenliu, she began to stir up trouble between the two, fanning the flames, and making both sides incompatible. Then she gave birth to Yuwentai's third son, Yuwenjue, which made Yuwentai very satisfied, and Princess Yuanxiao also began to use Yuwentai's favor to do something.
Uwen Takeyoshi's groom became the key to the whole incident, because people found the galloping horse and discovered this little secret, but when Channu sent people to find the groom, they found that he had been dead in his room for a long time. So Chan Nu was even more sure that this was a premeditated and planned murder incident, but she was not sure who the opponent was.
Yuan Xiao's original intention of killing Yuwen Wuji was to let the two forces merge, and then she could sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but she never expected Chan Nu to deal with this matter very calmly, which surprised Princess Yuan Xiao. At this time, Yuwentai, who was still in Henan, had rushed back from the front line in a hurry, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the pain of losing his son made him look a lot older in an instant, which can be regarded as God's punishment for his many injustices.
Yuwen Wuji's unexpected death became a turning point in his conquest of Henan, and he could only let people continue to invade Henan, Hebei, Xuzhou and other places instead of him. The entire Guanzhong region was plunged into black terror, Yuwentai was close to madness at this time, he listened to Chan Nu's words, and was arresting the suspects with great fanfare, many of whom were wronged.
In Xianyang, there was even a rich man who was framed for participating in the murder of Yuwen Wuji because he did not give the official due bribe, and Yuwentai directly arrested and tortured the rich man's entire family indiscriminately, and all the family property was confiscated. There are countless such things, and even Su Sui doesn't dare to persuade him, because at this time, Yuwentai is close to madness.
Gao Huan knew that his rear was invaded by Yuwentai, and most of the land was attacked, he wanted to come back to defend, but although the Turks in front of him were defeated once, they were still very combative, and the Golden Horde Khan was like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, staring at him. As long as Gao Huan turned around and retreated, the Golden Horde Khan would definitely press up and chase after him.
There was no point in the military meeting, and the generals present had no good way, and it was certainly not possible to retreat, and such a great battle that cost the people and money could not end without results. If they attacked, they couldn't figure out where the Golden Horde Khan's lair was for the time being, and the entire Mobei was his trace, but it was so unpredictable that he came and went without a trace.
Gao Huan sent scouts to find the Golden Horde Khan were in vain, and even a few were caught and cut off their heads, Gao Huan was very painful, in order to fight with the Golden Horde Khan, he thought of a bold way: let Gao Aocao lead the shaved army deep into the north of the desert to burn the forage field where the Turks spent the winter, so that the Golden Horde Khan is bound to come out to stop him, and Gao Huan's army may be able to defeat the Turks.
Gao Aocao must have nothing to say, he is now the number one fierce general under Gao Huan, and he is on a par with Murong Shaozong. In order to break the powerful cavalry offensive of the Turks, Gao Huan thought of some methods and planned to try them in the decisive battle with the Golden Horde.
The shaved army went deep into Gao Aocao alone, but only let them bring five days' rations, in order to find the main force of the Turks as soon as possible. The Golden Horde had never met an opponent like Gao Huan before, and there was no city that he couldn't attack, he used to be smooth, and even some cities automatically surrendered under the pressure of his army, and there was no need to fight by force at all. But this time the confrontation with Gao Huan was completely different, he felt that these Han people were completely different from the Han people he had met before, as if they were another nation.
In order to ensure that he could successfully defeat Gao Huan, he took a defensive posture and hid all the troops in the area of Ganquan Valley, sure enough, Gao Huan couldn't find their main force, and began to get anxious, what the Golden Horde wanted was that Gao Huan was restless, and he planned to take advantage of Gao Huan's main force to attack, and he would go to attack Yonggu City by himself, which is called popping chrysanthemums in the back, which is a set of sneak attack tactics that he likes very much.
Both sides are playing tricks, but obviously Gao Huan's tricks are more clever, when the Golden Horde Khan learned that Gao Aocao's army went north to take his forage field, he had 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart, this Gao Huan did not play cards according to the routine. Because summer passes quickly, and autumn is in the blink of an eye, if his forage field for wintering is burned, then this winter, his hundreds of thousands of horses and millions of cattle and sheep can only gnaw on the bark, and there is not so much bark for him to gnaw.
Fortunately, Gao Aocao's troops were less than 20,000 people, and he could let Ashina Tumen lead 40,000 people to rescue his forage field, leaving less than 100,000 horses to continue to hide in Ganquan Valley. When Gao Huan learned that Gao Aocao's troops and the Turks were in contact with each other, he was very excited, and the whole army went out to annihilate the Golden Horde's large army in one fell swoop in this battle.
Ashina Tumen is a strong Turkic man in his forties, he is the leader of the Turkic tribe, and his two sons Ashina Koro and Ashina Yan are the most brave warriors in the tribe, especially the second son Ashina Yandu, who is not only fierce in battle, but also very wise. Gao Aocao's encounter with this father and son was considered very unlucky, the Ashina family was the most ferocious Turkic army under the Golden Horde, and their duel with Gao Aocao was very ace-to-ace.
However, the Ashina family, which obviously has an advantage in numbers and strength, has a better chance of winning. Gao Aocao's troops were in a situation of bitter fighting from the very beginning. All this did not change until Gao Huan and Murong Shaozong's large army came to support, Ashina Tumen in order to prevent being surrounded by the Eastern Wei army, so the army was divided into two parts, escaped from the east and west flanks, and then wanted to attack Gao Huan's main force in a roundabout way, Gao Huan's 250,000 people and 40,000 Turks should be easy to fight.
He underestimated the combat effectiveness of Ashina Tumen, the soldiers of the Qipharynx Department were too fierce, the combat effectiveness of one person was up to four or five Han people, Gao Huan's flank of the Chinese army was instantly defeated, and began to retreat, which exposed the main force where Gao Huan was, in order to regain the decline, he personally led the team to rush and kill the people and horses of the Qipharynx, but unfortunately it had little effect, especially Ashina Yandu, the impact of death, slashing and killing made the Eastern Wei army frightened, this Turkic is like a god of death from hell, constantly harvesting heads.
Gao Huan had to use his hidden trick, he originally wanted to give his opponent a fatal blow against the Golden Horde, but unfortunately now he was going to use this trick to save his life. Fighting against powerful nomads, don't compete with them head-on with the speed of maneuvering, but ask them to slow down, this is Gao Huan's own summary, which he comprehended from the Chinese classical masterpiece Water Margin.
He remembered how Shuibo Liangshan had broken through the Ten Thousand Horse Formation, using a weapon called the Hook Scythe, which, as the name suggests, had a sharp tip like a sharp spear and a curved blade like a sickle on the side, which was extremely sharp. Used together with the red deer and the tripping horse, Gao Huan shouted at this moment: "Set up the formation!" So the Chinese army began to swing out in front of the position to the sound of rumbling war drums, and the infantry formed a phalanx, trapped in chains the thickness of fingers, at a distance of one or two meters, and began to advance with hooks and sickles in their hands.
