& Said to those chamberlains who ambushed the killers in the palace: "As long as Yang Jian is a little rude, kill him!" ”

Then summoned Yang Jian to the palace, saying that he was discussing political affairs.

However, no matter how Tian Yuan stared at the boss this week, the killers hiding in the shadows never saw the teapot smashed and the like, etc., and the pre-arranged hand-to-hand code was issued.

Anyway, no matter how ugly the words of "heaven" are, this Pu Liurujian still has a smiling face, as if he didn't hear clearly, or didn't understand?

& I felt a little unconfident at the time.

There are also such thick-skinned men in the world, and they say that they are born in martial arts, why is there no blood at all?

A few days ago, "Tian" let me go, kill you first, and then kill your whole family, and your undercover daughter must have reported to you, but at this moment, Lao Tzu's spit stars splashed on your face, but you didn't move at all, what is the real Naizhi.

I can't figure it out, I'm about to drive "heaven" crazy.

& Can't kill Pu Liurujian, that's the way it is.

Later, Zheng Yi, a doctor in the internal history, Zheng Aiqing said, saying that this Pu Liuru Jian wanted to release the intention of the domain, which was a bit in line with the will of "heaven", and immediately let him go to Yangzhou to be the governor.

Of course, "Tian" didn't know that this Zheng Aiqing was doing his old classmates a favor at the request of his old classmates.

The state government of Yangzhou is in Shouchun, that is, today's Shou County, Anhui Province, which is more than 1,000 miles away from the capital Chang'an, how could Yang Jian stay in the capital when the "sky" is about to return to heaven?

& This illness came suddenly, he Yang Jian couldn't have known it so quickly, and arrived so quickly, could it be that he didn't get him at the beginning, so he calculated the time at this time, and he couldn't solve the "day" in total?

The development of things is similar to the idea that "Heaven" suddenly understood.

It's just that "Tian" thinks about something, but he can't say it. Before I had time to think it through, I left without thinking about anything.

For the Standing Committee of Wei Chi, not long ago, he was not in the capital, but he knew everything.

The Wei Chi family has three Shangzhu countries, two pillar generals, and four county dukes, which should not be underestimated.

And he is a late captain, and has a continuous blood relationship with the Northern Zhou royal family.

His mother was the eldest princess Changle, the sister of Yuwentai, the Taizu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his wife was Princess Jinming, the daughter of Yuwentai.

Wei Chi Fanchi's granddaughter Yu Chi Fanchi first married Yu Wenwen, and was later occupied by Emperor Xuan and established as the empress of Tianzuo.

This kind of blood relationship is a bit chaotic.

Moreover, the matter of granddaughter Wei Chi Fanchi was made into a yellow joke that was widely spread in the world, which made Wei Chi Standing Committee members look very bad.

Therefore, his loyalty to the Northern Zhou court should be discounted, although Zhou Tianyuan is the emperor, and there is only one person in the world, no reason and rules are valid for him, but that is only the beginning.

Of course, at the beginning, his Wei Chi family has always been reused.

In the fifteenth year of the unification of the Western Wei Dynasty (549 AD), when he was thirty-three years old, he was promoted to the left servant of Shangshu and worshiped the general.

In the second year of the abolition of the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty (553 AD), he conquered Yizhou and achieved great success, and served as the governor of the capital, commanding the military of Yizhou, Tongzhou and other eighteen states, and serving as the assassin of Yizhou, and integrating military and political power.

Now Wei Chi Hui has just been re-ranked, as the head of the four auxiliaries, and concurrently serves as the governor of the strategic Xiangzhou. Most of his brothers and nephews were also knighted, and they were second to none in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, there is no need to rebel, he already has the qiē he wants.

But because of Yang Jian, he is likely to lose this qiē.

Therefore, for the sake of protecting the country for the sake of the family, we cannot afford not to send soldiers.

The imperial court appointed Wei Xiaokuan as the governor of Xiangzhou, and Wei Chi returned to Beijing to wait for the decree, which was the last fuse for him to make up his mind.

This will actually came from Yang Jian and was conveyed by Wei Chi Dan, the son of Wei Chi Standing Committee.

Raise troops

Wei Chi Hui took Xiangzhou as the central base to raise troops, the reason was "the side of the Qing monarch".

Xiangzhou is in the south of Hebei Province and is the main road from Hebei to the Central Plains.

And the central city of Xiangzhou is Yecheng.

Everyone should be familiar with this place, Cao Cao built the capital here during the Three Kingdoms, and built the famous three platforms based on the city wall, namely the Golden Phoenix Terrace, the Tongque Terrace and the Bingjing Terrace.

Not long before this, it was still the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty built by Gao Huan.

Later, the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed by Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and this place was changed to the capital of Xiangzhou, which was a rich and prosperous metropolis in the Central Plains at that time.

Geographically speaking, the land of Xiangzhou has three sides, southeast, north and south, adjacent to the plain area with the most developed agricultural economy at that time, and it is of course a very important condition for fighting a war to have reliable logistical support.

However, this territory, which is backed by the Shanxi Plateau east of Taihang Mountain in the west, has a condescending advantage, but there is no danger to defend, which is a disadvantageous place.

However, when the Standing Committee of Wei Chi raised troops, it should be offensive rather than defensive.

With the support of the 11 counties under the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou, including Anyang, and the manpower and material resources of Wei, Li, Bei, Zhao, Ji, Ying, and Cang prefectures under the jurisdiction of the great governor, as well as the support of his nephew Wei Chiqin (then the governor of Qingzhou), such as Qing, Qi, Jiao, Guang, and Ju, more than 100,000 troops were summoned almost overnight.

At the same time, Sima Zhen, the governor of Yunzhou, and Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou, conspired and responded with troops.

In addition, the states that declared neutrality were Xing (Zhixingyang, present-day Xingyang, Henan), Shen (Zhishoushou, present-day Zhongxiang, Hubei), Dongchu (Zhisupre, southeast of present-day Suqian, Jiangsu), and Tong (Zhidunqiu, present-day Suxian North, Anhui).

Of course, there are also those who have made it clear that they do not support it.

Such as the state assassin Shi Li Mu, this person is the famous general Li Ling of the Western Han Dynasty, Da Zuo Fu, one of the four standing committee members of the Political Bureau, and the ranking is still in front of Yang Jian, but he was sent to the ground in Shanxi, and only Yang Jian was left in the court to assist the government.

But Yang Jian is the governor of Yangzhou, far away in Anhui, why did he go to Chang'an again?

These questions were not spoken, that was another problem, Li Mu was a person who understood and could distinguish clearly.

Although he once saved the life of Zhou Taizu Yuwentai, he was almost killed by his nephew, the crazy "dragon slayer", Yuwen Hu, who killed three Zhou emperors in three years.

This Yuwen Hu killed his brother Li Yuan and his son Li Zhi, and he himself was almost sitting.

But this murderer of the Yuwen family was later killed by Emperor Wu of Zhou of Shengming, Yuwen Yong, who was the fourth son of Taizu, and he Li Mu followed Taizu.

Therefore, Wei Chi's request was refused, and the envoy he sent was imprisoned.

However, his son Li Shirong strongly persuaded his father: Good things are coming, I don't understand, do you? You have the most sophisticated army in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in your hands, what is the use of not taking this great opportunity to make a handful, raise troops for a thousand days, and practice martial arts for ten years?

And Yang Jian was not idle, he was not afraid of Wei Chi's rebellion, the important thing was to canvass for votes, so he sent the aforementioned internal history doctor Liu Qiu to Li Mu to tell him about the stakes.

At this time, Li Mu's other son, Li Hun, the left attendant sergeant, also rushed to Bingzhou and conveyed Yang Jian's greetings to Li Mu.

Li Mu was a famous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and in addition to understanding military affairs, he also knew politics.

His choice was to let his son Li Hun enter Beijing and take an iron to Yang Jian.

This iron is the electric iron used to iron clothes now, but there was no electricity in ancient times, and this iron was filled with red-hot charcoal.

gave such a thing to Prime Minister Yang Cheng, and he also brought a message, saying that he hoped that you could hold the handle of this iron, which symbolizes authority, so that you can iron clothes and make the world obey.

I didn't expect an iron to be so useful, and I never heard of it.

However, in my opinion, the metaphor of sending this thing may be interpreted as preparing new clothes for the emperor, and such a thing should be indispensable.

In addition, Li Mu also sent a thirteen-ring gold to Yang Jian.

It was a leather belt with gold ornaments and hooks, which could only be used by emperors.

However, how could there be such a thing in this Li Standing Committee? It's also worth putting a question mark.

Because he obviously didn't untie it from the waistband of his pants.

To make such a belt, it is not a day or two, then it can only be prepared a long time ago, but a person, what to do with a gold belt that can only be used by the Son of Heaven? Stuck in your clothes? Or maybe you want to > one day

From this point of view, Zhou Tianyuan felt that his emperor was unstable all day long, it was not that he was unreasonable, and he was definitely not completely crazy.

Undoubtedly, the position of the emperor is like a piece of fat, as long as there is a little possibility, everyone wants to eat it.

It can be seen from here that in wishing Yang Jian to become emperor in the near future, Standing Committee Member Li took the lead.

Li Mu has a nephew, Li Chong, who was the assassin of Huaizhou at the time, and was originally going to respond to Wei Chi Yuan, but later learned that Li Mu supported Yang Jian, and sighed and said: Our family has dozens of rich and noble people, and now we are in trouble with the country, and we can't help the crisis and continue the royal family, what face does it have to stand between heaven and earth!

As a last resort, Li Chong was also forced to attach himself to Yang Jian.

Seeing this situation, Yuanxiong, the governor of Xuzhou, did not agree to raise troops to deal with Yang Jian.

However, at the same time, Wei Chi also sent people to the north to form an alliance with Gao Baoning, so as to communicate with him and contact the Turks, plus his granddaughter had just married here, which should be conditional.

This Gao Baoning is a generation, that is, his ancestors are from the Xianbei Tuoba tribe.

The generation is the regime established by the Xianbei Tuoba clan in the early days of the Sixteen Kingdoms, Pingcheng in the Qin and Han dynasties, and now Datong, Shanxi, which was founded only for 39 years, and then destroyed by the former Qin Fujian.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Xianbei Tuoba Department was nomadic in the clouds, that is, in the northeast of Tuoketuo, Inner Mongolia.

Gao Baoning was also a distant relative of the Northern Qi royal family, served as the assassin of Yingzhou, and also guarded the Yellow Dragon.

Yingzhou is located in western Liaoning, and Huanglong is now Huanglong County, Shaanxi.

Gao Baoning is in an ethnic minority area and has great prestige.

Because of the frequent changes of the Central Plains Dynasty, he became a self-fending person, and the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty that were wiped out by the Northern Zhou Dynasty merged into one, raiding the border, which happened from time to time, because of the perennial dealings with the Khitan and the Yan Ya, these people can be called to help fight.

Not only that, but he had dealings with both the Turks and Goguryeo.

Emperor Wu of Zhou wanted to appease him, but he refused, so this Wei Chi Er's idea of beating him should not be temporary, and they should have at least heard of each other in the past.

Still, such assumptions are doubtful.

said that Gao Baoning is a generation, which specifically refers to the fact that he is a descendant of the Xianbei Tuoba Department. The last emperor of the Dai Kingdom, Shi Yiqian, was killed by the former Qin Fujian, but it was his grandson Tuoba Jue who founded the Northern Wei Dynasty, and moved the capital from Shengle, that is, present-day Inner Mongolia and Lingel, to present-day Datong, Shanxi, which was once the capital of the Dai Kingdom.

The Northern Wei Dynasty was the first dynasty in the Northern Dynasties era located in today's North China, moving the capital to Luoyang in 493 AD, splitting into the Eastern Wei and Western Wei in 534 AD, and the three emperors of the Western Wei Dynasty, a total of 22 years (no year of the Gong), the capital of Chang'an, the territory of the western region ruled by the former Northern Wei Dynasty, including the north of Xiangfan, Hubei, and the west of Luoyang, Henan.

Because of Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, after breaking with Gao Huan, he was forced to enter the Guanzhong to join the Guanlong warlord Xianbei Yuwentai, and Wei Chi Hui followed this Zhou Taizu to recover Hongnong and break the Eastern Wei Gao Huan in Shayuan.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty possessed the eastern region ruled by the former Northern Wei Dynasty in Runan, Henan, north of Xuzhou, Jiangsu, and east of Luoyang, Henan, and the capital was in Yecheng.

In 549 AD, Gao Yang (the son of Gao Huan) usurped Wei and established himself, changed the name of the country to "Qi", known as the Northern Qi Dynasty in history, and still set the capital in Yecheng.

It can be seen that the territory that Wei Chi Hui now occupies originally belonged to the emperor surnamed Gao.

And the "Book of Zhou" also said that Wei Chi Hui is a "generation", and his ancestors are a family that developed independently after being separated from the authentic Xianbei royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty ("its first, another species of Wei"), that is, the Wei Chi Division, but Wei Chi Hui is a generation, and should have a mixed blood genetic relationship with the Xianbei Tuoba Department and the Wei Chi Department.

The history books say that Gao Baoning "does not know where he came from", but he is a distant relative of the emperor's family surnamed Gao, which is likely to conceal some common circumstances such as his mother's humble status, but Gao Baoning has relatives in Yecheng, which is very likely.

Therefore, Wei Chi wanted to find some kind of supporting strength, and the connection with this Gao Baoning was like the historical origin that we had drawn from this old day.

And this "origin" contains a lot of content, and I will not break it down in detail here.

Speaking of this, you will find that Wei Chi Yuan's other consideration: this may be to leave a way out.

With Gao Baoning as an example, if he can't do it, he will fight guerrillas, but this move has the reputation of not being afraid of being suspected of being a foreign country, so the purpose of this lieutenant Chi Yuan is not to "clear the king's side".

And Wei Chi Yu still felt that this was not enough, so he sent someone to contact Chen Chao.

The Chen Dynasty was the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the last dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, founded by Chen Baxian, and the capital was Jiankang, which is the city of Nanjing today, controlling the area east of Jiangling and south of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, there is also a small country that occupies an area of 300 miles in Jingzhou, which is a vassal of the Western Wei Dynasty and is known as the Later Liang in history.

Later Liang's Xiaoming Emperor Xiao Yue, also because of the Zhongshu Sheren Liu Zhuang, who was sent to pay tribute to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, came back to convey the words of Yang Jian, the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty: Several generations of monarchs of the Liang State are loyal to the imperial court, and we should maintain this friendly relationship, so we did not listen to the agitation of the generals under his command and Wei Chi Hui, and did not take advantage of the fire to rob when the east house caught fire.

It can be seen that both sides have put a lot of effort into it.

This kind of behavior of doing enough extra-poetic kung fu is indeed rare in military generals.

Perhaps because it was a military regime at that time, the generals not only had to think about how to fight, but also how to use tricks to bring down others, which was equivalent to winning a complete victory without spending a single soldier.

In this round of the contest, although Wei Chi fell behind, after all, this person is too professional in fighting, not like Pu Liurujian, who practices both political and military, but he still really resisted for a while.

So the land in the north was surging for a while.
