In the first month of the sixth year of Yuhe, after the Spring Festival, Dugu Yan, the general of Dongyuan, led 30,000 troops across the stream to storm Jincheng, a supply place in the upper reaches of the stream, in order to vent the hatred of He Beilan and seize Yi'an.

Jincheng lost three days, Yuwen Zheng heard the news and personally led the soldiers to arrive, the next battle of the city, the two sides were not deadlocked, the strong soldiers, horses, gongs and drums were monstrous, each led the army in the city and the field of 60,000 monstrous killings, a day passed and both sides were killed with red eyes, the vast four fields, blood everywhere.

In the end, Yuwen Zheng successfully recaptured Jincheng. As soon as the troops entered the city, their subordinates came to report that Yi'an, which had just arrived in March, was surrounded by the Dongyuan general Lan Sa and his troops. After the capture of Yi'an. Lan Sa detoured south to take the two cities of Dongdan and Kailing, and the Yubi Pass was in danger.

At the same time, the army of Jinlan was ready to move, and marched into Yebei City again five days ago.

Nishihara is attacked on his back!

In order to resist the strong enemy, Yuwen Zheng sent the prime minister Liu Zhongyu to the desert power west of Qianling to Kaizhuo, and married the daughter of the original clan in the west to King Kaizhuo.

Hearing that Jin Lan had once again intervened, Yu Ce was furious, and in order to show that he had never united with the barbarians, he withdrew his troops for three months, and after Jin Lan was defeated by Xiyuan and Kaizhuo, he marched to Yubi Pass.

Since the start of the war, Yuwen Zheng lost the cities of Kailing and Dongdan, and suffered a lot of losses, so he set up an additional 50,000 troops to defend Yubi, and at the same time ordered people to dig up the water and make it reroute, and directly flooded Yuce and stationed in the Dongda camp in the southeast of Jincheng.

Yuce attacked Yubi for dozens of days, and he couldn't even attack, and he also lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, and he was angry about this, and learned that the eastern camp was flooded by Yuwen Zheng's embankment, and the soldiers and horses lost countless grains and grasses, and he spewed out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and immediately fainted.

Zhonglang General Duan Ji heard the news and wanted to split, did not listen to the dissuasion of the generals, and immediately led 50,000 soldiers and horses to detour to the city of Wanzhou behind Yubi Pass, and it was too late to wait for Yuce to wake up and stop it, Duan Ji had already fallen into the enemy's territory, and was surrounded and blocked by the Xiyuan army.

Regardless of the disease, Yu Ce personally led 30,000 cavalry to the relief, but Duan Ji had been killed in battle, tens of thousands of troops were leaderless, and nearly half of them had been killed.

Outside the city of Wanzhou, blood flowed and corpses were everywhere.

In the case of being flanked by the western Sichuan army, Yuce's 80,000 army finally escaped with only 30,000. In the chaotic army, the general Dugu Yan was besieged by the western Sichuan army for Baode Yuce and his party, with countless heavy knives and guns, and his intestines were picked out by the enemy's knives and still struggled to resist the war, and finally died under the city of Wanzhou. Yuwen Zheng felt his enthusiasm, and specially ordered someone to return the bones to Yuce.

Yu Ce lost 80,000 troops in just two days, several generals, and even the generals Duanji and Dugu Yan, who had followed for many years, all died tragically on the battlefield, Yu Ce was deeply shocked, and he was no less than ten years old overnight, especially when he saw Dugu Yan's tragic body, he was even more ill and unconscious.

The commander was seriously ill, and Dongyuan withdrew his troops in the situation that he had to lose two cities.

In the summer of the seventh year of Yuhe, the army returned, and the news of Yuce's serious illness also reached the palace.

When Yu Zijin stepped into the Ningxiang Mansion again, the gloomy aura that shrouded this palatial mansion made her frown.

"Father." Looking at the thin and sick old man on the bed, she couldn't help but cry sadly, this has only been a little more than a year, how could it become like this?

"You're here?" Yu Ce opened his heavy eyes, at this moment he was just an old man who was about to pass away, and he would never see the heroic appearance of the past.

Ming Qinghui tearfully helped Yuce to let him lean on himself, although he had already made preparations, but this day came so suddenly, but it was still difficult for her to accept.

Looking at his wife and daughter with a smile, Yuce said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Don't cry, people will die eventually, but sooner or later." "In this life, from the eldest daughter of the broken son to the eldest daughter of the Ming family, to the power of the government and the opposition to support the wife and concubines, he asked himself if he had lived a loss. If there is any unwillingness, it is nothing more than that because of the difference of a moment of benevolence and a thought, Yu Wenzheng escaped and ran away from his original business, which eventually caused a confrontation between the East and the West. He underestimated the enemy in the early stage, and had poor luck in the later stage, and as a result, he failed to dominate the world in his life! The so-called time is also lucky, in the dark, creation makes people.

Wiping the tears of the teary-eyed Yu Zijin, Yuce asked: "Father doesn't understand, since Yuwen Zheng loves you so much, and has only had one son for many years, why didn't he ask me to marry you in the first place?" Could it be that my Yuce's daughter is not as good as the world? ”

Yu Zijin lowered his eyes, "He did have this intention back then, but it was just the day he sent the envoy, but it coincided with the news that Yuan Ye had fled west, and his letter to his father was not at all."

When it came to that year, how could Yu Ce not remember the reason, he couldn't help but look at the sky and laugh, it turned out that all this was due to a misunderstanding that night, if he had opened the seal at that time instead of directly tearing up the letter, maybe the situation in the whole world today is not like this, it is really providence to make people, providence to make people!

Close your eyes and smile, "That child, what is your birthday?" ”

"Back to my father, when he was the son of the winter solstice in the second year of Tianping, he was the same year, the same month and the same day as Xi'er." Yu Zijin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"It's okay, the unfinished ambition of my father's life can be regarded as a successor, isn't it?"

"Father?" Yu Zijin's eyes widened, never thinking that Yu Ce would say this.

Yuce waved his hand weakly, "Go, since there is no turning back, just guard the emperor and Mu'er well, even if your eldest brother is arrogant, he will never hurt his life." ”

Yu Zijin blessed his body with tears, and finally looked at Yu Ce and walked away lightly.

Leaning quietly on his wife's shoulder, Yuce smiled: "Qinghui, how long have we been married?" ”

"Thirty-one years." Ming Qinghui replied softly, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met that handsome young man at the corner of Chongxi City, and after more than 30 years, they had already had a group of children and grandchildren.

"It's been that long? Qinghui, have you ever complained about me all these years? ”

Resentment? Naturally, there are grievances. It's just that as soon as life and death are parted, she finds that she loves him more than resentment.

"Qinghui has no regrets!" Even if she complained, she never regretted marrying him. Because there is only one Yuce in this world, if she didn't marry back then, she was afraid that she would resent it for the rest of her life.

Yu Ce smiled and nodded, seeing his wife's sideburns, he raised his hand and stroked it carefully, "Qinghui, do you know?" Even though I have married so many women, when I think of the end of a hundred years, I still have this scene in my mind where you are the only one with me. Married and supported for a lifetime, only you can be the one who will accompany me through this journey. ”

Ming Qinghui tears rolled down, biting his lip and nodding heavily, at this moment, the grievances of many years are gone, what are those grievances and those angers?

"Help me get out of bed and walk, I don't want to die in bed like this."

The Ming and Qing Dynasty Hui summoned the Yutian outside, the mother and son helped Yuce to walk to the window, opened the Xuan window, and were surprised to see the lunar eclipse in the sky, Yuce laughed loudly, "When the bright moon was in my arms, I succeeded, today's lunar eclipse, I think the limit is coming!" He seemed to exhaust all his strength, opened his arms and laughed: "The full moon is missing for me, and I don't hate to die!" ”

The sound of the death knell sounded in the world, and Yu Zijin in front of the mansion suddenly looked back, and the warmth in his eyes followed, "Daddy, Daddy"

On the seventh day of June in the seventh year of Yuhe, a generation of heroes Yuce died at the age of 47 at the age of 47.

"See the Queen's Mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose."

"The Qing's family is flat." Yu Zijin walked into the mourning hall in filial piety clothes, his eyes were red and swollen and looked at the shrine on the mourning platform and the black lacquered and precious coffin, "Today's father is mourning, and the emperor specially allows this palace to do his filial piety." ”

"My Emperor Longen." The full hall of jade family is dressed in heavy filial piety and worships again.

The eldest princess of Qingyang bowed to Yuzi Jinfu and retreated two steps, vacating the position in front of the spirit.

Yu Zijin bowed his head slightly, knelt in front of the spirit, and Yutian stopped: "Niangniang, although my father is gone, the gift of the monarch and the minister must not be abolished!" ”

Yu Zijin waved his hand, "It's okay, today the palace is only the second daughter of the Yu family, not the queen of the middle palace, why not guard the soul of my father?" ”

Seeing that Yu Zijin insisted, Yu Tian could only give up.

Although Yu Ce holds the authority, he has been in power for many years, has been in power for a lifetime, and has won the love of the people.

Father, did you see that? Although the great cause is not finished, the hearts of all the people are attached, and you have a spirit in heaven and can rest in peace.

Su Jing followed Yuce as a strategist for 20 years, resigned and retired in his later years, and died in Yingshan, Jinzhou, and wrote ten volumes of "Wen Zhi Legacy", in which the strategist who followed Yuce all his life had the following praise for him:

Loyal and cautious, self-seeking, and daring to measure. The power is used to change into God. The military aircraft is strategic, with a unique embrace, civil and military generals, rare comparisons, wisdom and talent, and there is no way. Kill the enemy in one fell swoop, and then move to Kuang Yuan's room, so he strategized and won a decisive victory. Treat others with sincerity and be strict with yourself. It is really a majestic place between heaven and earth.

In addition to the praise of the world, it is inevitable that later generations will denigrate his authority, but the merits are right and wrong, but they are buried in the loess with the death of Yuce.

In August of the same year, at the request of the original Yifeng Quasi-Ministers, the edict ordered the world's concubine Yutian to attack the king of Ningxiang, and crowned him as the envoy, the prime minister, the governor of the Chinese and foreign armies, the record of Shangshushi, and the great Xingtai. In the same month, at the request of Zhun Yutian, he awarded Yuhan the titles of General of Fuguo, Doctor Zuo Guanglu, and Founding Duke of Wuyang County, and ordered him to be the regent of the military state. The rest of Yuce's adult sons were rewarded.

In just a few months, the power of Dongyuan was all in the hands of Yutian. The tiger father has no dog son, and Yuce has passed away, there is no doubt that the era of Yutian has come.

After the turmoil, Yu Zijin returned to her previous days of silence and depression in the palace, she didn't know if Yuwen Zheng told Yuwen Jingyu about his life experience, and she didn't know how Yuwen Jingyu would react if he knew. Every day, she would go to the top of the Jiuhe Terrace to overlook the entire Ziyao Palace City, as if a casual low eye could see that small figure in a corner.
