At this moment, what Yu Wentai thought in his heart was nothing more than to be able to gather enough food and grass as soon as possible to mobilize the regular army to support Hou Jing in the south, otherwise once Hou Jing perished, it was a matter of time before Gao Huan conquered Nanliang, if Hou Jing continued to involve him in Nanliang, then he could still take the opportunity to take the opportunity to sneak attack Gao Huan's rear, as the saying goes, if you fight a bicycle into a motorcycle, you won't even have a chance if you don't fight.

Yuan Baoli sat on the Jinluan Treasure Hall and looked at the ministers below, he actually hoped that Yuwentai could go south to help Hou Jing, after all, Gao Huan was the enemy who drove him out of the Central Plains, but now the conservatives in the imperial court are unwilling to support the sending of troops, so he can only tell Yuwentai to have a big discussion among the ministers, as long as the court officials within Jiuqing can express their views on the dispatch of troops in the early dynasty. Of course, he also hinted that Yu Wentai tried his best to count votes in private.

Here I want to add to the system of the Western Wei regime, although the Western Wei Dynasty was led by Yuwentai in power, and the imperial political form of Yuanbao was far from the enthronement of Dabao, but below Yuwentai was the central power supported by the faction established by the Guanzhong clan gate valve organization, and these various factions mainly included the following relatively powerful groups: The Longxi faction was headed by Yang Zhong, the right prime minister, who advocated the first peace of the interior and then the outside, and did not advocate the use of troops against Gao Huan, and the Kwantung faction was headed by the general Han Xiong and the imperial historian Gao Bin, They advocated invading Luoyang, Yecheng and other places, but they also did not advocate a head-on confrontation with Gao Huan. The Longyou faction, headed by Wei Shouding, the general of Wei, was of the same opinion as the generals of the Shaozhuang faction, feeling that Gao Huan was the biggest obstacle to the unification of the Western Wei Dynasty, and advocated an armed attack on Gao Huan and supported the dispatch of troops. The Hakka faction is led by Xie Sichun and other people who surrendered under Er Zhurong before, and they are naturally on Yuwentai's side, and there are still middle-of-the-road factions like Su Xuan, and neither side can offend which side will fall to which side.

In addition to the above factions, there are other various small factions, so the entire Western Wei court is more like a federal parliamentary country, earlier Yuwentai just entered the Guanzhong, the local scholar clan gate lord did not understand him, so he did not dare to disobey his orders, several times took the initiative to face off with Gao Huan even if he was defeated, no one dared to say anything, but gradually they were tired of Yuwentai's poor military force that cost the people and money, and began to refuse his orders in a targeted manner, or refuse in disguise.

Yuwentai also seemed to feel the resistance of the Guan Sergeant clan to his power, and he had no choice but to carry out the ingots from time to time to help him come out and play a round. But despite this, many times Yuwentai still has to look at the faces of those local bigwigs, because people have soldiers and money in their hands. This is an example of a lower gram.

For example, the matter of sending troops to Nanliang is being discussed now, if Yuwentai is arbitrary and insists on leading the army to go out to fight, no one dares to stand up and oppose it, but once he is defeated, then he will be in big trouble, Guanzhong must be in chaos, in case Gao Huan takes the opportunity to rebel against several important figures in the past, his political career will not only come to an end, but it is likely that he will even give Gao Huan a small life.

But after discussing for a long time, several factions have not had any substantive results except for attacking each other, and even Yuwentai himself feels that it is really boring, and now is the critical moment when the timing is delicate, and a delay of one day will be unfavorable to them, and delaying until the end will only make Gao Huan Fisherman profitable, and he will easily take advantage of everything, so at this moment Yuwentai is actually anxious in his heart.

As anxious as he is Hou Jing, Xiao Gang has accepted Gao Huan's order to announce his abdication and officially welcome Xiao Daoquan as the new emperor, and the entire Jiankang City is in a completely defenseless state, just waiting for Gao Huan's army to settle in. Chen Baxian, who had been stationed in the Jiujiang area of Nanchang before, had already handed over the table to Gao Huan and asked him for money and food, and he planned to use Gao Huan's strength to defeat Hou Jing first. Gao Huan is not a fool, he accepted the table, but the money and food asked Chen Ba to go to Beijing to pay homage to the new queen first.

Xiao Duo also saw that Hou Jing was already at the end of his strong crossbow at this time, and he had no time to attack Jiangling, so he urged Wang Seng Bian several times to send troops to take the initiative to attack Hou Jingbu, but Wang Seng Bian was afraid of Hou Jing's strategy, and he kept his troops still, and even Chen Baxian wrote to him, saying that he was as timid as a mouse and did not dare to pursue, and his strength was not enough, otherwise Hou Jing, who was like a lost dog, would have been taken down by himself.

Wang Seng Bian was tired of Chen Baxian's letter and Xiao Duo's orders, and felt that Xiao Duo's group was too contemptuous of him, he saw that several major families in Jiangdong had joined the command of the new emperor Xiao Daoquan, and he also had the heart of rebellion, and also wanted to take the troops to Jiankang to defect to Xiao Daoquan.

Speaking of this Wang Seng Bian was also a well-known generation of heroes in Jiangdong in his early years, and was later recruited by Xiao Duo to serve in the army, but because he had also said before that Xiao Duo was a one-eyed dragon and was disabled, he always inexplicably suspected that others had bad intentions towards him.

Therefore, the two monarchs and ministers are not of the same heart and one mind, Xiao Duo treats Wang Seng Bian as a domestic slave, and Wang Seng Bian only regards Xiao Duo as his official boss, so at the critical juncture, the two of them have their own calculations. Xiao Duo thinks that Wang Seng Bian's opponent with average ability can be described as outstanding, but once he faces a boss like Hou Jing, he is very cautious even when facing the front and people, which is not what Xiao Duo wants to see.

But at this time, Hou Jing's life was not easy, Princess Luyang was weak and needed to recuperate, but the forward camp was not a place to recuperate, and the situation was already unfavorable to Hou Jing, so he planned to take the remaining more than 30,000 subordinates to retreat to Xiling, Wuchang County, and set up camp there. Hou Jing asked someone to condition Princess Luyang's body, and on the other hand, he anxiously waited for the reinforcements of Yuwentai of Western Wei, he always had hope for Western Wei, and firmly believed that Yuwentai would definitely send troops to rescue him.

Xiao Duo found that Hou Jing had retreated to the southeast, and immediately celebrated in the city, and sent someone to tell Xiao Fangzhi in Gao Huan's camp the news, at this time Gao Huan's army had been stationed outside Jiankang City, Murong Shaozong's troops went south from Southern Yanzhou to Huainan, Xuancheng and other places in Southern Liang State to garrison, Gao Ao Cao continued to cruise around Eastern Yuzhou.

Yu Wentai's eyeliner quickly spread the news of Hou Jingyuan's serious injury and retreat back to China, and this news is currently only known to Yu Wentai and a few of his cronies. In the study, Yu Wentai frowned and looked at the secret letter in his hand without saying a word, just two lines of more than a dozen words, but it shattered the hopes and dreams in his heart, Hou Jing saw that it was about to end, he had no value to invest, so who could replace him as his agent (nail) in the Southern Liang Kingdom? Su Sui on the side obviously understood his thoughts, but he didn't dare to speak first, for fear that it would not be good if he said something wrong.

Xie Sichun didn't care when he arrived, and said to himself: "Right now, Xiao Yu is still detained by us in the post house, but we can establish contact with Xiao Duo through him, as long as we spend a lot of money to oppose Xiao Duo's big name, we still hope to have a place in Nanliang." Yuwentai and Su Sui looked at him at the same time, Xie Sichun looked at him a little puzzled and asked, "Why did I say something wrong?" Su Sui hurriedly answered: "I also think that Lord Shangshu's words are reasonable, Hou Jing is already at the end of his crossbow at this time, and the final outcome waiting for him is nothing more than waiting for death." At that time, Xiao Duo Group was quite popular and powerful in Nanliang, and it had been communicating with us all the time, but it was indeed possible to try to win it over, while Gao Huan's forces had just infiltrated and taken root. ”

Yu Wentai nodded and thought about something, it is indeed as Xie Sichun and the two of them said, this Xiao Duo has now become a potential stock, but is Hou Jing really gone? Based on what the two knew and knew about Hou Jing during the time when they worked together under Er Zhurong before, Hou Jing was not such an easy character to be killed, otherwise why Er Zhurong and Gao Huan didn't dare to move him easily, there must be a reason and reason.

After a while, Yu Wentai said lightly: "It seems that we will definitely not be able to make the trip at present, only to win over Xiao Duo first, and leave this matter to Lord Su to deal with, don't be afraid to spend money, we can earn money again, but if we miss the opportunity, there will be no more." Su Sui hurriedly promised that Xie Sichun was willing to give this task to himself, because he thought of this idea, but ...... Xie Sichun was a little unhappy in his heart. Yu Wentai ignored his ugly expression and continued: "Hou Jing, let's be perfunctory first, don't tear your face with him until the last moment, just say that we are still discussing the matter of sending troops here, and it is estimated that it will take a while." This is what I think Master Xie should be able to do, right? After that, he winked at Xie Sichun.

What is this called, Xie Sichun felt that Yuwentai's words were full of distrust of his ability, and he was a little angry, but then he thought to himself: Do you think that Hou Jing is a garbage stock, okay, I'll let you see that the garbage stock also has a spring, what kind of ability is it to follow the trend, and watch the old man turn Hou Jing's salted fish into a carp, let you see what it means to turn a salted fish over. Immediately promised.

So the three of them acted separately, Su Sui's task was obviously very good, first invited Xiao Yu from the post house, held a feast and entertained him, and then took out a lot of money to plan to start a rebellion with him.

Xiao Yu staggered a few glasses of wine, and his mood obviously improved, and he swept away the previous state of gloom. Looking at a beautifully decorated small box on the table, he asked puzzledly, "Master Su, ...... are you?" Su Sui smiled, the smile was sweeter than chrysanthemums, there were only the two of them at today's banquet, and even the dancers in the house were only accompanied, so without outsiders disturbing, Su Sui planned to sacrifice his own temperance, he smiled and pushed the box in front of him and said: "Lord Xiao, this is a little bit of our heart from Prime Minister Yuwen, please smile." ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly excused himself and said: "This can't be done, it's the so-called merit is not unacceptable, how can I shake the Prime Minister's gift, this can't work." Looking at his stern resignation, Su Sui thought that he was really clean and did not accept bribes, and said a little embarrassed: "This is actually not a valuable gift, it is really just a little bit of our Prime Minister's heart, I want you to come to us for some days, the Prime Minister has been busy with official business, and has no time to entertain you, he feels very guilty about this, you see if you don't accept this gift, isn't this a slap in the face?" ”

This pot is beautiful, how dare Xiao Yu refrain from resigning, so he had to say sincerely: "Since it is the prime minister's good intentions, but it is disrespectful, then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate." Su Xuan laughed, as if he was deliberately showing off, and opened the box for Xiao Yu on the spot, only to see that there was a big night pearl inside, Su Xuan clapped his hands, and saw that all the lights in the living room were extinguished. Even the two dancers on the side were amazed, and they threw themselves into Xiao Yu's arms, if he was served well, this baby would be ...... You get the idea.

Su Sui clapped his hands again, the lights in the living room returned to brightness, and it was as bright as day again, Su Sui covered the box and sent it to Xiao Yu and said: "This is a plastic bead produced in the South China Sea, it is said that there is only such a one in hundreds of years, and it is a rare treasure." Xiao Yu has been stunned, although he is the royal family of Nanliang, but he has not seen any Central Plains specialties, in Yuwentai here he has seen the heroic customs of Guanzhong, the majestic palace armor, the various Western Regions goods, the so-called central court of the formal and reasonable, and now at this moment he has seen the heroism of people's spending a lot of money again.
