"It turned out to be General Yuwen, and I have admired it for a long time." Thinking of Chen Fuliang's advice before leaving, Qian Xiangmin hurriedly saluted Yu Wenhua and said respectfully: "Please rest assured General Yuwen, your mansion in Daxing City is safe and sound, Chen Liushou and General Dugu Huaien, who has made great contributions this time, have specially arranged special people to take care of you, please rest assured." ”

"Brother Ying Liang specially arranged special people to take care of me?" Yu Wenhua and some unbelievable joy asked.

"Exactly." Qian Xiangmin nodded and said with a smile: "Chen Liushou has always remembered your friendship with him, you introduced them to the lonely son, Yuanqi Gongzi and Li Yangcheng Gongzi you met last time, and this time you helped Chen Liushou a lot in the Daxing War, so Chen Liushou not only paid attention to your affairs, but also asked me to thank you and thank you for introducing him to the good brother." ”

Yu Wenhua laughed, brutally pushed away the civil and military officials who were scrambling to ask Qian Xiangmin about the situation in Guanzhong, hugged Qian Xiangmin's shoulders, and said with a laugh: "Brother Ying Liang is really interesting, he really deserves to be a good brother, I heard that you are Brother Ying Liang's henchman, that is also a good brother of General Ben, go, let's drink." ”

Qian Xiangmin, who was still covered in dust, hurriedly refused, pointed to his dirty clothes and said with a wry smile: "General Yuwen, your kindness is appreciated by the lower officials, but the appearance of the lower officials is like this, you have to wash and change a set of clothes first, and then go to see you when you are free." ”

Smelling the smell of sweat and urine on Qian Xiangmin's body, and seeing the dirt on his face, Yu Wenhua didn't insist, laughed and let him go, but other officials and soldiers who were eager to know the situation in Guanzhong couldn't care so much, and immediately surrounded them to ask about the situation in Guanzhong, Qian Xiangmin had no choice but to go to the post house under the guidance of the Shangshutai officials, while answering these questions as much as possible, his saliva was dry, and his throat was dumb, but he still couldn't stop the homesickness that poured in.

What made Qian Xiangmin, He Er and the others quite strange was that there were so many officials and soldiers gathered in the imperial city, but there was no movement in the palace city that was close at hand, and the palace gate was always closed, as if they hadn't seen these conditions. It was also time to ask a few rhetorical questions to the civil and military officials who inquired about the news of Guanzhong, and Qian Xiangmin knew that Emperor Yang of Sui had not held a court meeting for a long time, and he had not appeared in public for a long time, and it was rumored that even Pei Ju, Yu Shiji and Lai Hu'er, these important ministers of the court, were already difficult to see Emperor Yang of Sui, and what Emperor Yang of Sui did every day was to take the beauties of the harem to visit and drink in the garden, and to compose poems and lyrics.

"His Majesty the Emperor is crazy?" For the first time in Qian Xiangmin's mind, he had the idea of disrespect for Emperor Yang of Sui, and said secretly: "The Great Sui rivers and mountains have been eroded to this point, and he is still drunk and dreaming of death every day, does he still want this Great Sui rivers and mountains?" ”

After living in the post house, Qian Xiangmin and others were still harassed by the officials and soldiers who came to listen to the news of Guanzhong one after another, and at the same time, the latest war reports and various news they brought from Guanzhong were also like a boulder thrown into the water, and soon set off huge waves inside and outside the Jiangdu, a huge number of Guanzhong soldiers ran back and forth, told each other, inquired about each other, all kinds of true or false news spread wildly, people's hearts floated, and the already strong homesickness was even more boiling. Every general and soldier of Guanzhong nationality is looking forward to Emperor Yang of Sui issuing an edict to let them return to their hometown in Guanzhong to see the situation of their relatives in their hometown.

After resting in the post house for a day, in the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Guowei's Hu Benlang came to Fan Wenchao and invited Qian Xiangmin and He Er to his residence to drink, although there are many civil and military officials who invited Qian Xiangmin, and many officials have titles and official positions that are far higher than Fan Wenchao, but Fan Wenchao also has an identity as the son of Fan Zigai, Fan Lao stubbornly has a heavy kindness to Chen Fuliang, Chen Fuliang's two loyal lackeys Qian Xiangmin and He Er must not give Fan Wenchao this face, they can only obediently accept Fan Wenchao's invitation, He also immediately followed Fan Wenchao to the Xiaoguowei camp in the east of Jiangdu, and had a banquet and drink with Fan Wenchao and several other Xiaoguowei generals.

The main topic of the banquet is still the situation in Guanzhong, Fan Zigai's hometown is in Wuwei, Hexi, where Li Liang is in trouble, Fan Wenchao is also worried about his relatives in his hometown, but unfortunately because Xue Ju cut off the connection between the Sui army and Hexi, Qian Xiangmin and others do not know the situation in Wuwei, which makes Fan Wenchao very disappointed, and also makes Fan Wenchao more worried about his family in his hometown, and several of his fellow generals are also sighing and frowning. Qian Xiangmin could only try his best to comfort them, saying that Chen Fuliang was a person whose conscience had not been eaten by dogs, and as long as he got in touch with Hexi, Chen Fuliang would definitely not be able to treat Fan Wenchao and his family.

After hearing the news, the Guanzhong generals came to the banquet uninvited, including Sima Dekan, the chief general of Xiaoguowei, after learning that his hometown of Fufeng County was looted many times by Xue Ju, Bai Yupo and Li Hongzhi and other thieves, the tall and burly Sima Dekan did not say a word for a long time, and finally simply picked up a wine jar and poured the remaining half jar of wine into his mouth, and the wine was dripping, wetting his bright armor, but he didn't seem to realize it.

"Brother Sima, you are the head of the Imperial Guard, and you can often see Your Majesty." Seeing that Sima Dekan's boredom and worry were not under him, Fan Wenchao said with the intention of drinking: "Can you find an opportunity to make a word in front of His Majesty, and ask him to return to the national capital, if His Majesty returns to Daxing, the younger brother is willing to be the pioneer!" ”

Fan Wenchao opened this mouth, and the other Xiaoguowei generals immediately echoed it, all of them instigated and begged Sima Dekan to come forward to advise and ask Emperor Yang of Sui to send an edict to return to Guanzhong. Sima Dekan laughed bitterly, slammed the empty wine jar in his hand on the table, and said with a wine burp: "Can you often see Your Majesty? To tell you the truth, from the first day of the first month to the twenty-fourth day of the first month today, for twenty-four days, I have only seen two sides of His Majesty! Please return to Guanzhong? Don't look at me as the chief general of Xiaoguowei, if I dare to open this mouth, my head will also fall to the ground! ”

No one refuted, because everyone knew that Sima Dekan was telling the truth, and only people said with tears in their eyes: "Do you really want to be like Dou Xian and them, risking their heads and fleeing back?" ”

Still no one said anything, only Qian Xiangmin asked Fan Wenchao about Dou Xian curiously, and then he knew that before Xiaoguowei's Huyalang led some Xiaoguowei soldiers to flee back to his hometown because of homesickness, but they were all killed after being chased by Emperor Yang of Sui's cavalry, but even so, there are still soldiers fleeing in the Xiaoguo Guard, and they can't be forbade no matter what. At the same time, Fan Wenchao also quietly told Qian Xiangmin, saying that because of the news of the chaos in Guanzhong brought by Qian Xiangmin and others, more than 50 Guanzhong soldiers escaped last night, and most of them were killed.

When Qian Xiangmin was worried about whether this situation would implicate him, a rude laughing voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Haha, General Wen Chao, why don't you call me when you invite Qian Xiangmin to drink?" It's still that you have a big face, I heard that the sixth son who came to Zhuguo came to Liulang to ask for money in person, but he didn't get it, you say hello, and the money speaker will follow you. ”

In the laughter, Yu Wenhua and Da walked into the hall, although Yu Wenhua was rude and shallow, but his father Yu Wenshu's Yu Wei was still there, seeing him come in, even Xiao Guowei Sima Dekan stood up to greet him, and respectfully invited him to the chief seat, Fan Wenchao also hurriedly smiled and said: "What kind of face does the last general have, and they are all looking at my father's face, so they accepted the invitation of the last general." General, please take your seat, please take your seat. ”

Honestly and unceremoniously sat on the chief, Yu Wenhua nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, there is nothing to say about Brother Ying Liang's personality, Brother Wen Chao, your father has a great favor to Brother Ying Liang, of course his people have to repay you for him, and I am the same, the brother I introduced to Brother Ying Liang helped him, and he was enough for me." Oh, by the way, old Qian, you didn't make it clear yesterday, how did Dugu Huaien and Yuan Qi help Brother Ying Liang a lot? Tell me quickly, those waste boys can still be of great help to Brother Yingliang? ”

Qian Xiangmin agreed, and hurriedly told Dugu Huaien and others about helping Chen Fuliang to preemptively build the palace city and destroy the rebels' defense circle in one fell swoop, Yu Wenhua was surprised that Chai Shao also surrendered anyway, and couldn't help laughing happily: "I didn't expect that Yuan Qi and Li Yangcheng still have such courage and courage, not bad, it can be regarded as fighting for my face, and the brothers brought out by this general are fighting for anger." ”

mentioned the matter of Daxing, Qian Xiangmin remembered another important matter, and hurriedly said to Yu Wenhua: "General Yuwen forgives me, I was too busy yesterday, and the lower officials still have something to report to you." When Li Yuan rebelled against the thieves and entered Daxing, because the thief army was biased to block the way, Chen Liushou was still in Tongguan and did not have time to send troops to stop it, Li Yuan's thief army ransacked your manor property outside the city, and the loss was very heavy, Chen Liushou said that he was sorry for you in this matter, please forgive me. ”

No one can turn his face faster than Yu Wenhuaji, hearing this news, the hearty smile on Yu Wenhua's face not only disappeared immediately, but the green tendons on his forehead immediately jumped up, and he asked with a blue face: "What about my Lishan Hunting Ground?" And I'm in the courtyard next to Xingchen Soup, was it washed by the thief army? ”

"This ......." Qian Xiangmin was a little embarrassed, and replied: "This subordinate is not clear, but it is estimated that it is not much better, Xinfeng in the northeast of Lishan is also a battlefield, we fought several battles with Li Yuan's thief army there, and many thieves fled into Lishan. ”

With a bang, Yu Wenhua kicked over the case table in front of him, Tie Qing gritted his teeth, and he didn't know whether he was hating Li Yuan's thief army or blaming Chen Fuliang for his poor protection of his property outside the city, Fan Wenchao, who had incense with Chen Fuliang next to him, was afraid that he would be angry indiscriminately, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade and comfort, Sima Dekan and other Xiaoguowei generals also opened their mouths to comfort, saying that this matter had nothing to do with Chen Fuliang, and it was the sin of Li Yuan's thief army. It's easy to say, this made the stingy Yu Wenhua sit down to drink again, but in this way, Yu Wenhua and the previous good mood immediately disappeared without a trace, drinking more violently than other Xiaoguowei generals, and constantly greeting all the female relatives of the Lao Li family.

During the drinking and talking, the topic unconsciously brought back to the current situation in Guanzhong, and then through the wine, some people began to complain that the high-ranking officials in the court were inconsiderate of the generals in Guanzhong, and did not persuade Emperor Yang of Sui to return to Luan Daxing, which attracted everyone to echo him. Qian Xiangmin, who had already seen Yu culture and bad character, hesitated again and again, but finally said in a hesitant manner: "General Yuwen, Chen Liushou also asked the subordinate to beg you for something, I don't know if you can help." ”

Although he somewhat blamed Chen Fuliang for his poor protection of his industry, Yu Wenhua also knew that Chen Fuliang could not be blamed entirely, so he nodded and said, "Say, what can you help with?" ”

"Chen Liushou wants to ask you to come forward and invite His Majesty to return to Luan Daxing."

Qian Xiangmin's words made the audience quiet, everyone looked at Qian Xiangmin in surprise, Yu Wenhua was also dumbfounded, and exclaimed: "What? Please let me play the Majesty Xià Hui Luan Daxing? ”

"Not bad." Qian Xiangmin nodded, and hurriedly gave Yu Wenhua and a top hat and said: "Chen Liushou said, in the whole world, only the general can say that you can move your majesty to return to Luan, general, you used to be the prince and servant of your majesty, and you have a personal relationship with your majesty, and you have a close relationship, your father Yuwen Zhuguo is the most trusted person of your majesty, and he has been favored for more than ten years, and your third brother is the eldest horse of your majesty, your majesty will definitely listen to it, even if you say something wrong, your majesty will not blame." Therefore, Chen Liushou believes that you are the only one in the world who can say that you can move your majesty and return to Luan, and please agree. ”

Yu Wenhua and still a little stammering, next to Sima Dekan, Fan Wenchao, Yuan Li and Pei Qiantong and other Xiaoguowei generals looked at each other in surprise, after looking at each other for a moment, Sima Dekan and the others suddenly woke up, quickly made a look at each other, and then got up and left the table together, knelt down to Yu Wenhua and the head of the inspector, and said in unison: "Chen Liushou is reasonable, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, only General Yuwen can persuade His Majesty to return to Luan, and ask General Yuwen to come forward to advise for the sake of the common people in the world and for us and other Guanzhong soldiers." ”

"It's ......." In fact, it is a very strong and inward-looking Yu Wenhua and hesitant to agree. But Sima Dekan and others finally saw a hope of going home, and they were willing to let it go, and they just begged Yu Wenhua and agreed, and rushed to Xiang Yu Culture and flattery sycophants, all with Emperor Yang of Sui's favor for the Yuwen family, and even if Emperor Yang of Sui did not listen, it would not cause any consequences. As a result, it was natural that Yu Wenhua, who was stupid enough to accompany hundreds of thousands of Xiaoguo elites who were eager to go home, and the fluttering immortals, gradually began to waver.

Qian Xiangmin, who barely ate dry food, inadvertently gave Yu Wenhua and a fatal blow, and instigated: "General Yuwen, if you are worried about meeting Your Majesty Xià in a bad mood, then there will be a good opportunity soon, Xia Guan has already handed over the report of Chen Liu's defense of Guangxing and the killing of Li Yuan to Pei Zuoxiang and them, this is a great joy, Your Majesty will be happy no matter what, and when Your Majesty holds a court meeting to celebrate this matter, you take the opportunity to open your mouth to advise, Emperor Xi is on the rise, Not only are they likely to take your advice, but they will certainly not bother with you on the big day. ”

Sima Dekan, Fan Wenchao and others were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly echoed the help, and worked harder to encourage Yu Wenhua and come forward to advise, and Yu Wenhua was actually looking forward to returning to Guanzhong to live the previous days of being at ease, and after being instigated by so many colleagues and subordinates, the wine rushed to his head, and suddenly patted the case and said: "Okay! I'm going to ask Your Majesty to return to Luan! ”

Sima Dekan, Yuan Li and others were very happy, and they hurriedly thanked Yu Wenhua and Ji Shou, Yu Wenhua and he was a little sensible, and said: "General Ben promised you, but General Ben also said first, this matter is not sure, if Your Majesty does not agree, don't blame me." Also, if General Ben is unlucky for this, you will have to rescue me. ”

"General Yuwen, please rest assured." Sima Dekan said very sincerely: "As long as you come forward to beg your majesty to return to Luan for the sake of us homesickness, no matter whether your majesty agrees or not, we will thank you for a lifetime." If you are convicted for this, we will rob the Dharma field and the prison, and we will save you! ”

"Brothers, drink blood and swear an oath!" Xiaoguo Weihu Benlang suddenly swept Yuan Li away from the wine and food in front of him, filled a bowl of wine, and then drew a knife to cut his hand, dripping blood into the wine, and said loudly: "We swear in front of General Yuwen that if he is guilty for our return home, if we don't save him, we will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and there will be no place to die!" ”

"Great idea!"

In order to encourage the only hope of Yu culture and courage, Sima Dekan and other Xiaoguowei generals responded one after another, dripping blood into the wine, vowing to advance and retreat with Yu culture and life and death, coincidentally, in addition to Fan Wenchao and several Wuwei generals of the tiger father and dog, there are also a few called, Pei Qiantong, Zhao Xingshu, Meng Jing, Yuan Min, Li Fu, Niu Fangyu, Li Xiaoben, Li Xiaolan, Xu Hongren, Xue Shiliang, Hou Fengyi, Zhang Xin, Linghu Xingda, Meng Bing and Feng Pule............

Seeing Sima Dekan and the others drink blood wine in front of them and swear that they will advance and retreat with themselves in life and death, sometimes timid as a mouse and sometimes bold Yu Wenhua couldn't help but boil his blood, he simply drew his knife and shouted: "Brothers, since you can trust me, then I will also make an oath to you in person, when the Qingjie Dynasty will meet, I Yu Wenhua and I will not invite His Majesty to return to Luanguanzhong, there is such a case-!" ”

yelled, Yu Wenhua and slashed down with a knife, and split the case in front of him into two sections!

"Good!" In the roaring applause, Sima Dekan and Yuan Li and others stepped forward to toast Yu Wenhua and toasted, praising Yu Wenhua and righteous enough to talk about friendship, he is a big hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, Yu Wenhua and also kept patting his chest loudly, saying that even if he was demoted to a slave again, he must beg Emperor Yang of Sui to take the Guanzhong soldiers back to Luan Daxing and return to Guanzhong!

Qian Xiangmin and He Er were unconsciously left out in the cold, but Qian Xiangmin and He Er were still happy to be left out in the cold, looking at Yu Wenhua and the boasting appearance of spitting at the mouth, and seeing the excited appearance of Sima Dekan and Yuan Li and other Xiaoguowei generals full of anticipation, Qian Xiangmin, who had a bad personality, still had such a dirty idea in his heart............

"It's better not to agree, it's better not to agree, it's better to let Yu Wenhua suffer a little, then there will be a lot of excitement to watch." The bold Yu Wenhua couldn't help but boil his blood, and simply drew his knife and shouted: "Brothers, since you can trust me, then I will also make an oath to you in person, when the Qingjie Dynasty will meet, I Yu Wenhua and will not invite His Majesty to return to Luanguan, there is such a case-!" ”

yelled, Yu Wenhua and slashed down with a knife, and split the case in front of him into two sections!

"Good!" In the roaring applause, Sima Dekan and Yuan Li and others stepped forward to toast Yu Wenhua and toasted, praising Yu Wenhua and righteous enough to talk about friendship, he is a big hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, Yu Wenhua and also kept patting his chest loudly, saying that even if he was demoted to a slave again, he must beg Emperor Yang of Sui to take the Guanzhong soldiers back to Luan Daxing and return to Guanzhong!

Qian Xiangmin and He Er were unconsciously left out in the cold, but Qian Xiangmin and He Er were still happy to be left out in the cold, looking at Yu Wenhua and the boasting appearance of spitting at the mouth, and seeing the excited appearance of Sima Dekan and Yuan Li and other Xiaoguowei generals full of anticipation, Qian Xiangmin, who had a bad personality, still had such a dirty idea in his heart............

"It's better not to agree, it's better not to agree, it's better to let Yu Wenhua suffer a little, then there will be a lot of excitement to watch."
