Under Zhou Huida's reminder, Yuwentai rediscovered Su Sui and promoted him from Xingtai Lang to Zuolang, who was a deputy to Zuolang, mainly engaged in writing work, and was regarded as a senior secretary and so on.

However, at this time, Yuwentai just regarded Su Sui as a capable official, and he still didn't really find Su Sui, Su Sui still worked steadily in his new position, and did his job meticulously. For Su Sui, being promoted to the author Saro became the person around the leader, so he had more opportunities to show himself.

Opportunities always favor those who are prepared, and it just so happens that Su Sui is a person who is prepared, and soon, opportunities will come unexpectedly, and Su Sui can't think of it.

One day, Yuwentai felt very idle, so he invited the ministers to the suburbs of Chang'an in the Kunming Pond for leisure and entertainment fishing or something, everyone hugged back and forth to the site of the Western Han Dynasty warehouse in Chang'an City, Yuwentai suddenly asked everyone about the allusions to the ruins, to Yuwentai's disappointment, the generals did not know it, and those who claimed to be full of poetry and books were not clear.

Someone whispered: If only Su Sui was here, this matter would definitely not be difficult for him. The more you don't understand something, the more you have to figure it out, this is Yuwentai's character, I heard that Su Sui can answer, so he ordered someone to pass Su Xuan to see him immediately. Su Sui really lived up to expectations and gave a comprehensive and specific answer to the origin and historical changes of the warehouse site. Yuwentai was both surprised and happy, he didn't expect Su Sui to be so knowledgeable, so he turned the conversation and asked about the story of the rise and fall of the past dynasties, and Su Sui still answered fluently.

Yuwentai was excited, and asked Su Sui to walk with him, talking while walking, and waited until he arrived at Kunming Pool. I still can't get enough of it, and I can't care about fishing. Immediately ordered to go home.

Su Sui followed Yuwentai to the inner room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the two continued to talk deeply. Su Xuan talked eloquently about the way to govern the country, Yuwentai was stunned and tired, so Yuwentai lay on the bed and continued to listen. Su Sui talked about the way of the emperor, but he did not completely adopt the Confucian doctrine, and mixed more with the art of Shen Han.

In governing the country, Confucianism preaches the royal way, stresses benevolence, and advocates that the emperor use skills to control hundreds of officials. Han Feizi is obsessed with strict punishment and strict laws, and any set of plans is flawed in isolation, but when the three are combined, the result is different.

We must be kind to the people, and the emperor and the officials must love the people, so that they can win the support of the people, but it is not enough to be tolerant of the people, and excessive tolerance can easily turn into connivance, and it is not enough to stop crime by virtue alone. It is necessary to strictly enforce the laws and regulations and govern the country according to the law, and the laws and regulations need to be implemented by officials at all levels. Therefore, it is very important to rectify the rule of officials.

The emperor can't help but believe in the officials, but he can't believe too much, so that the officials have a sense of fear. This is the art of the emperor. Su Sui believes that the way to serve the country is to love others like a loving father and train people like a strict teacher. A large stick in one hand and a carrot in the other. Grasp both hands and be hard with both hands.

It's so fresh. In the past, Yuwentai asked the Confucians about the way to govern the country, and the answer was always inseparable from benevolence and love for the people or inaction.

Yuwentai heard this, got up from the bed, tidied up his clothes, sat upright, almost knelt on the bed mat, and looked at Su Sui with adoring eyes, as if he wanted to remember every word of Su Fei in his heart, time passed little by little, until the fish belly white appeared in the east, and they found that the night had passed unconsciously. Yuwentai was already resourceful, and he was once the most important staff member of He Bayue, plus the experience of ruling Xiazhou, Yuanzhou, so he realized that what Su Sui said was reasonable.

After going to the court, Yu Wentai, who was still in a state of extreme excitement, said to Zhou Huida: Su Sui is really a genius, and I want to entrust him with all political affairs. Zhou Huida repeatedly said yes. Zhou Huida is a person with high morals, he is really happy for Su Sui, and even happier for Yuwentai, after all, talents are rare.

On the same day, Yuwentai immediately ordered Su Sui to be promoted to Daxingtai Zuocheng to participate in the important affairs of the military aircraft, and Su Sui entered the highest decision-making center of the Western Wei Dynasty. Su Sui did not live up to Yuwentai's expectations, he first started with the construction of the system, and formulated systems such as copywriting procedures, accounting reimbursement systems, and household registration management methods.

Reimbursement involves state financial expenditure, household registration directly determines national fiscal revenue, the implementation of the two measures is mainly aimed at the Western Wei Dynasty's not very rich national finance, to alleviate the national financial pressure to find a secret recipe. Yuwentai was determined to establish a clean government from the very beginning, the Western Wei Dynasty was vast and sparsely populated, and the economic foundation was thin, if the officials were allowed to be corrupt like Gao Huan, the common people would not be able to survive for a long time.

Yuwentai not only said it on his lips, but also in his body, for corruption and illegal acts, he mastered the principle of being strict and fast and never tolerated, his maternal uncle and cousin Qinzhou Assassin Wang Chaoshi was arrogant and domineering, corrupt and bribed, Yuwentai unceremoniously asked the court to give him death. Yuwentai's style of not recognizing his six relatives shocked the officialdom of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Western Wei Dynasty began to move towards the Qingming Dynasty.

Comparatively speaking, the officialdom of the Eastern Wei Dynasty is much darker, corruption and bribery of high-ranking officials and magnates have become an unspoken rule, and there are very few people who are not greedy, Gao Huan is either unclear or has no way to do this, everyone follows themselves in the wind and rain to live a life of licking blood on the knife, they can't be too strict, they should defect if they are forced too tightly, anyway, the three companies are recruiting, and there is no place to keep the master here.

Gao Huan has Gao Huan's difficulties, but with Gao Huan's shrewdness, he naturally knows the outcome of bribery, so he has been looking for opportunities, and many things can be done with half the effort if the right time is right, otherwise it will be a failure. The propaganda war between the two Wei Dynasty has not stopped for a moment, who is authentic is a very important question, beautifying oneself and stinking the opponent is the tone of the propaganda work, Emperor Wen of Wei issued an edict listing Gao Huan's twenty major crimes, claiming to drive the royal conquest in person, and sweep away the traitorous ministers with Prime Minister Yuwen.

Gao Huan did not show weakness, and issued a letter, calling Yuwen Black Otter and Hu Sichun as chaotic ministers and thieves, and vowed to divide the generals, lead millions of troops, and immediately seek westward to eliminate the warlords entrenched in the pass. Both sides are hard-spoken, and there is no substantive action for the time being, Gao Huan is busy consolidating the northern and southern border defense and cleaning up the domestic dissidents, as for Yuwentai, with the current national strength of Western Wei, there is no possibility of a large-scale eastward crusade.

However, Gao Huan has never forgotten Jì Yuwen Black Otter, and Yuwen Black Otter has never forgotten Gao Huan. They said, "We have been prepared." After the separation of the Great Wei. The Liang State in the south of the Yangtze River launched a major northern expedition. Xiao Yan, the untamed son of Buddhism, has been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the north.

In that year, Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition smashed the thieves' nest with thousands of people. If it weren't for the lack of backup, it would not be impossible to drive the Suo Lu back to the outside of the Seychelles. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and it is difficult to get it back if the opportunity is missed.

With the passage of time, Xiao Yan's heart gradually calmed down, but at this time, Taishi reported that the celestial phenomena had changed, "Yingfu entered Nandou, and the Son of Heaven went down to the palace", in order to crack it, the old emperor walked around the palace compound barefoot, but then the intelligence collected showed that the old emperor's approach was purely self-inflicted. The celestial phenomenon implies that the Northern Wei Emperor Yuan Xiu ran away from home, "The captives are also on the celestial phenomena?" ”

The old emperor was depressed. Immediately after, Wei Prime Minister Gao Huan helped the clan Yuan Shanjian to take the throne, the Great Wei was divided into two, and the whole north was in chaos, Xiao Yan's meditation heart was chaotic again, and his heart was moved, and he wanted to fish in troubled waters to continue to copy the story of Yuan Hao, but fortunately, there were many Northern Wei clans in the south of the Yangtze River. So with the Northern Wei general Yuan Qinghe as the general of Zhenbei and the king of Wei, a new round of the Northern Expedition began, and at the same time ordered the Wei-Liang border states to advance northward.

However, there is only one Chen Qingzhi. Yuan Hao is also unique, Yuan Qinghe's influence is not the same level as Yuan Hao, and as for combat effectiveness, he is not even qualified to lift Chen Qingzhi's shoes. This person is characterized by being easy to talk big but timid and afraid of things.

Yuan Qinghe sent troops from the winter and October of 534 A.D., and conquered Sego two months later. In the first month of the following year, Chen Qingzhi, the assassin of Sizhou, attacked Yuzhou and was broken by the Eastern Wei general Yaoxiong, and Yuan Qinghe stayed there. Until April, when he went to fight the city father, Dou Tai, the general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, led 30,000 people to rescue. Yuan Qinghe turned to attack Southern Yanzhou, and Han Xian, the assassin of Luozhou in Eastern Wei, led his troops to meet him, but Yuan Qinghe couldn't beat and ran away.

In June, Yuan Qinghe went to fight Nanton again, but was broken by Yaoxiong again. At this point, Yuan Qinghe was completely reduced to a beaten general, and led the remnants of the defeated army back to Jiangnan in despair. Busy with a lot of work to no avail, Yuan Qinghe was very depressed.

However, the more depressing thing is still to come, when he returned to Jiankang, he was beaten down by the Son of Buddhism, who has always regarded himself as a bodhisattva, and scolded him for saying the same thing and being as timid as a mouse.

After Yuan Qinghe retreated, the rest of the Liang army continued to harass the border until November, with the defeat of Chen Qingzhi and Liu Zhongli, who were recognized as famous generals of the Southern Dynasty, and the Northern Expedition, which lasted for more than a year, gradually came to an end.

However, Xiao Yan was honest, but Gao Huan was not happy, and soon he sent Hou Jingnan to conquer Liang Chuzhou, Jiangnan was shocked, and Chen Qingzhi made a move at the critical moment to block Hou Jing's offensive, and then Xiao Yan made another effort to no avail, Xiao Yan's dream of reunification was finally shattered, and Liang and Eastern Wei both sides boycotted the war and made peace.

A new round of good-neighborly and friendly exchanges began. The Liang army's east road attack failed, the west road was brilliant, the Western Wei belonged to the East Yizhou, Liangzhou successively included in the Liang territory, Yuwentai was unwilling, sent Dong Shao to lead the troops to recover the lost territory, and was broken by the Liang general Lan Qin, Lan Qin took advantage of the victory to pursue until the valley, before the threat of the Eastern Wei was not eliminated, Yu Wentai was unwilling to start a full-scale war with the Liang State, so he had to endure the pain and offer two thousand war horses to ask for peace, Lan Qin retreated.

In this melee of the Three Kingdoms, the Liang State lost troops in the war with the Eastern Wei Dynasty and did not take advantage of it at all, the Eastern Wei forced the Liang army to retreat, eliminated the Westernized elements, and fully controlled Henan, and the Western Wei lost both people and money and lost the Hanzhong region, and the Eastern Wei became a big winner. After the threat in the south was basically eliminated, Gao Huan decided to free up his hands to teach Yuwentai a lesson.

Just after the second year of the Great Unification (536 AD), Gao Huan led the cadres of the Di Dynasty to attack Xiazhou, along the way the Eastern Wei light cavalry traveled day and night, thirsty to drink icy river water, hungry to eat a piece of dried meat with him, after four days of rapid marching suddenly arrived at the city of Tongwan, the soldiers of the Eastern Army tied up the big lance to make a ladder, and climbed up to the state city at night, the defenders of Xiazhou never dreamed that the Eastern Army would suddenly attack when the weather was cold and frozen, and they were handed over in a daze, and the three thousand elite soldiers of Xiazhou Thorn Shi Hu pulled out the Russian Mitu and made prisoners basically without resistance. When the news reached Chang'an, the people of the public were shocked, and Yuwentai urgently convened hundreds of civil and military officials in Beijing to discuss countermeasures.

Xiazhou is the place where Yuwentai started, the fall of Xiazhou hit Yuwentai very hard, if Gao Huanshun Xiazhou goes south, basically a horse Pingchuan, Chang'an is no longer in danger to defend, which is what everyone is most worried about. Only Governor Guo Xian thought that Gao Huan would not dare to rush into the army. Guo Xian explained: In the past, when He Bagong was at the beginning, the people in Guanzhong were in turmoil, and Gao Huan could not take the opportunity to seize Yongzhou, because Gao Huan was unwise.

When Luan drove westward, at that time, our six armies were weak and weak, Mao Hongbin was defeated, Tongguan was lost, Gao Huan could not take advantage of the situation to attack, and Gao Huan was not brave. Now we are united in our hearts, the people are fighting, where does Gao Huan dare to come to death.

And the summer is desolate, thousands of miles without smoke, that is, he wants to invade the south, and the grain burden is unsustainable, from this point of view, Gao Huan will not be able to come. Everyone felt that what Guo Xian said was not unreasonable, but Rao was like this, and Yuwentai still ordered the whole territory to enter a state of first-level combat readiness. As Guo Xian expected, Gao Huan had no intention of pursuing the victory, his purpose was to tell him that Yuwentai and Western Wei had no rear and front at all, and Xiazhou had completed the task of taking this trip, so he left the governors Zhang Qiong and Xu He to stay behind, with Zhang Qiong in charge of the military, Xu He took care of the civil affairs for the assassin history, and returned to Jinyang with 5,000 households of the Huba Omitu tribe.

The victory of the Xiazhou raid encouraged Cao Ni of Lingzhou, and Cao Ni, together with his son-in-law Liu Fengsheng, the assassin of Liangzhou, announced that he would draw a line with Yuwentai and accept the leadership of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. The old thorn head was about to make waves again, Yuwentai was angry, and personally led the army to destroy Cao Ni. After a year, the Western Wei army surrounded Lingzhou again, and Li Hu's old method continued to be used: leading the river to irrigate the city. Lingzhou has once again become an ocean.

Gao Huan naturally wanted to save Cao Ni, but Guanshan was thousands of miles away and the water could not quench his thirst, and at the critical moment, he used a strange army: A Zhiluo people. The Azhiluo people have always been favored by Gao Huan, and they obey Gao Huan's orders.

After receiving Gao Huan's order, the Azhiluo people immediately dispatched 30,000 cavalry to go around the back of the Western Wei army, and a small force of more than 50 horsemen of the Western Wei army was captured by the Azhiluo people.

In order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, Yuwentai decided to retreat after weighing the pros and cons, and the task of the Azhiluo people was to cover Cao Ni, so they did not take the initiative to attack, and the Western Wei army retreated, and the old thorn Cao Ni escaped death again. Gao Huan thought that Lingzhou was remote and difficult to defend, so he sent cavalry to welcome Cao Ni and Liu Fengsheng to lead his troops to move eastward, and Liu Fengsheng was the assassin of Nanfenzhou.

Liu Fengsheng became an important general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Then, Gao Huan ordered the Azhiluo people to coerce Qinzhou to overthrow the city, in fact, according to the Qinzhou Thorn Shi Wan Qipu and his son Dazai Wan Qi Shou Luogan who guarded the city, he has been in contact with Gao Huan, he has contacted the Hun tribe to leave Longyou Donggui, the Azhiluo people nominally want to attack the Fujing, but in fact to cover Wan Qipu Donggui, because as long as the Azhiluo people are active nearby, Yuwentai will not dare to rashly send troops.

Wan Qipu set off with 300 people, including the Fengzhou Assassin Shi Qi Gan Baole, the Right Guard General Po Liu, Han Chang and the Governor General.

After hearing the news, Yuwentai hurriedly led a light horse to chase after him, and he chased for more than a thousand miles and did not catch up, so he had to return in a huff. Gao Huan personally helped Wan Qian Pu to dismount, and this scene made his son Wan Qian moved by Luo Gan.

As the so-called Wuchuan's return to Wuchuan Huaishuo's return to Huaishuo, the twisted melon is not sweet. For the successive defections of the governors, Yuwentai was very depressed in his heart, in the eyes of the governors, the son of heaven was not as appealing as Yuan Shanjian, a milky child who had not dried up.

Especially Wan Qi was honored by Luogan, and was appointed Dazai, his official position is not high, and he went to Gao Huan despite the high mountains and roads, and the influence of Gao Huan's thieves should not be underestimated. In the shadow of the rebellion, the Western Wei Dynasty was not without joy, the two heavyweight fighters returned, and their arrival diluted the shadow of the defection of Zhu Hun Daoyuan and Wan Qi by Luo Gan, and the sky of Chang'an finally saw the sun.

In the second year of the unification of the Western Wei Dynasty, that is, in the autumn of 536 AD, an exciting news came out of Chang'an City, and the legendary hero He Batsheng who had been exiled in the south of the Yangtze River returned to China. (To be continued......)
