Chapter 297: Return to the North
Xianfu Palace is located 200 miles north of Jiangdu, next to the Grand Canal, which was originally a palace built by Yang Guang in order to facilitate the visit of the lower river capital.
And now the palace has ushered in a new owner, Yu Wenhua and.
For ten days, Yu Wenhua and led 100,000 Guanzhong Xiaoguo to walk 400 miles, and it can be said that this trip is extremely slow. However, the Xiaoguo soldiers were dissatisfied with this but had nothing to say, after all, Yu Wenhua still fulfilled his promise and began to return north.
In the Palace of Blessings.
The new emperor Yang Hao has already been sent down, Yu Wenhua and unceremoniously sat on the main seat, which was Yang Guang's position before, and at this moment Yu Wenhua did not shy away from it at all.
Now that Yu Wenhua has been in power, he has begun to enjoy it wantonly, and even his travel honor guard is no different from Yang Guang's travel.
A eunuch in the hall reported to him.
"Qi Prime Minister, Du Fuwei rejected the Prime Minister's solicitation, claiming that he was willing to obey Yang Tong's orders in Luoyang."
"Jiangdu Taishou Chen Ling openly moved the tomb for the first emperor after the prime minister left."
"Puppet Emperor Yang Tong recruited Li Mi and appointed Li Mi as the chief of the march of the Southeast Road, thinking that the army in Wagang is being assembled, and soon, it will meet our army."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yu Wenhua sat on the main seat, listening to the bad news coming one after another, and couldn't help but have a headache.
"It's all rubbish, all damned?" Yu culture and roar.
The eunuch retreated with interest.
Before taking power, Yu Wenhua was very envious of Yang Guang's power.
After the coup d'Γ©tat, Yu Wenhua and only then discovered that the position of the emperor was not only superficial. There are great risks behind this scenery.
There are many strong enemies outside, the internal soldiers are agitating to return to the north, and the forces that are secretly loyal to Yang Guang abound, and a bunch of things are pouring over, which makes Yu Wenhua annoyed.
"Big brother! It's not a good situation right now! Yu Wenzhi said worriedly.
Since Yuwen Zhihe and Yu Wenhua planned the mutiny, his status has increased greatly, and he was appointed as the left servant of Shangshu, second only to Yu Wenhua and below.
"Are the soldiers still safe now?" Yu Wenhua and worry asked.
Thinking of these soldiers, Yu Wenhua and hated it so much, Jiang didn't wait, so he had to make a fuss about returning to Guanzhong. I don't want to think about what the situation is now.
You may be fine when you return to Guanzhong as an ordinary creep. But I don't want to think about his culture, it is estimated that if he can't get to Guanzhong, he will be cut by a thousand knives, and there will be no place to bury him.
But even so, Yu Wenhua had to listen to the advice of the soldiers returning north. Otherwise, Yang Guang's fate will be a lesson for him.
"The Xiaoguo have a lot of grievances. There are rumors in the army that the eldest brother is delaying time and is unwilling to return north. And he was not sympathetic to the soldiers, and gave the carriage and horses to the beautiful women to sit on, but let the soldiers carry weapons and armor. The chariot was full of treasures, but there were no rewards for the soldiers. Yuwen Zhihe said truthfully, brothers are together, there is no need to say hypocritical things.
"Bump!"
Yu Wenhua's face was full of anger, and he slapped the table vigorously.
"What nonsense these soldiers are! The prime minister has already returned north according to their wishes, and they are now so nonsense? "Yu Wenhua and angry to the extreme.
March and April were the spring drought seasons, the water level of the canal dropped, and Yu Wenhua and soon went north, the boats could not be used, and as a last resort, Yu Wenhua ordered the forced requisition of 2,000 ox carts.
100,000 soldiers, how to divide 2,000 vehicles!
In this regard, Yuwen Zhiji also shook his head, after all, they had just taken power for a short time, and their prestige was insufficient, and they could only appease these arrogant generals.
"How many soldiers can we control now!" Yu Wenhua and Hate asked.
"During this period of time, we can only ensure that 30,000 soldiers are loyal to the eldest brother, and the rest of the soldiers are still in the hands of the previous generals."
"Thirty thousand soldiers?" Yu Wenhua frowned, "This is far from good!" β
"Big brother, this is already the limit of what we can do, Rao is so many generals have already noticed it, and if we continue to do it, I'm afraid there will be chaos." Yuwen Zhiji said.
"But don't worry, big brother, as long as we take our time, these soldiers will all fall into the hands of big brother sooner or later." Yuwen Zhiji said.
"I'm afraid we don't have time?" Yu Wenhua sighed.
Now the situation is tense, and the daily attrition of the 100,000 army is extremely terrifying, Rao is so, Yu Wenhua is still marching slowly, because he needs enough time to control the army.
Now that Li Mi has surrendered to Luoyang, he has freed his hands, and it won't be long before the Jiangdu army and the Wagang army will meet, and there is not much time left for Yu Wenhua.
"Second brother, select ten carts of treasures and reward them to the generals!" Yu Wenhua said.
"Ten carts of treasure!" Yu Wenzhi said distressedly.
"Go and execute the order immediately!" Yu Culture and Command.
"Yes!" Yu Wenzhi and heartache left.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Outside the Palace of Blessings, in the barracks,
Zhao Xingshu walked around the military tent alone, his face sometimes compromising, sometimes struggling.
He and Sima Deji, Yu Wenzhi and are close friends, when he and Sima Deji tried to escape, he brought Yu Wenzhi and here.
As a result, in order to appease Xiaoguo's anger, the Yuwen brothers actually killed Sima Deji immediately.
Zhao Xingshu felt that he had killed his friend Sima Deji, and at the same time, he also found that Yu Wenhua had quietly replaced the original Xiaoguo generals, because the families of these generals were all controlled by Daxing City.
If you return to the army and contact Daxingcheng in the future, if Daxingcheng uses these family members to threaten the generals, I am afraid that the army will turn against you in an instant.
Zhao Xingshu can understand Yu Wenhua's approach, if it were him, he would do the same. also knows that the best result of his own is to be hollowed out, he either conforms to Yu Wenhua, or fights hard.
At this moment, one in front of Zhao Xingshu was two boxes full of jewels, and the other was a thin letter paper, Zhao Xingshu looked at the two things in front of him and fell into a deep entanglement.
The two boxes of jewelry were sent by Yuwen Zhihe just now, saying that they were a reward from the prime minister, and the thin letter paper was a letter from home, which was sent by him in the high hall of his hometown in Guanzhong.
In the letter, the parents wrote that their family was now held in solitary confinement in Daxingcheng, and that they had not been abused, and that the family was safe and that he should not be worried.
Zhao Xingshu carefully read the letter several times, the last word, a little prominent when it was flirted, it was a code between their father and son, and he confirmed that this family letter was indeed written voluntarily by his parents.
This is just an ordinary family letter, the whole thing is the greetings of the parents, and the situation at home, there is not even a word of persuasion, but the more this is the case, the more the guilt in Zhao Xingshu's heart is aggravated, and Zhao Xingshu can't help but burst into tears when he reads it.
The guilt of Sima Deji and the guilt of his parents suddenly came to his heart, and Zhao Xingshu was extremely painful.
After a long time, Zhao Xingshu silently raised his head, looked at a shadow corner in the tent, and said firmly: "Is the promise of His Royal Highness the Acting King true!" β
A figure in the corner stood quietly and replied calmly: "My emperor's promise has never been broken, as long as General Zhao can assassinate Yu Wenhua, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, my emperor will release all the people of the Zhao family and return all the family property, and all the participants are the same." β
Zhao Xingshu struggled for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Someone! β
"General!" Immediately there was an influx of soldiers into the tent.
Zhao Xingshu looked at the black shadow, looked at the soldiers, and waved his hand suddenly: "Send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Servant Shooting Mansion, and say that the official will invite the Prime Minister to go hunting in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest tomorrow." β
"Yes!" The soldier was ordered to leave. (To be continued......)
