Different from the turbulence and chaos in Shuzhong, Guanzhong in the golden autumn season can be described as a peaceful place, with undulating valleys and waves in the fields, fruitful fruits in the gardens, and the joy of harvest everywhere.

Huazhou City is also the atmosphere of joy, at the beginning of the year Taishi Yuwentai suddenly suffered from the resignation, although it brought a bit of unsettling haze and restlessness to the current situation, but soon was Yuwen Taishi west out of Longguan, the majestic deeds of Tuyuhun and dissipated and resolved.

Because the Tuyuhun Khan Kwaralu was closed and did not fight, but was only invited to obey, Yuwentai did not continue to stay in Longyou, and returned to Guanzhong in June. Emperor Yuanqin sent an envoy to meet the triumphant division in Xianyang, and the Taishi Yuwentai stayed in Xianyang for a few days, and did not enter the court to see Shugong, and then led the army back to Huazhou City.

After the army returned to Huazhou, the news that the army that had gone south to attack Shu had broken through the Sword Pavilion and successfully entered Shuzhong had also come, which was a double happiness for the Chinese and foreign governments. And Yuwentai was also in a good mood and said that the Chinese and foreign governments did not need to arrange any triumphant celebrations, and it would not be too late to celebrate after the news of Keding Shuzhong came back.

In this way, the time passed from midsummer to this autumn, and by September, more accurate news of the Shu people had finally returned, but it was a mixed blessing.

The joy lies in the fact that the Shu army has conquered Chengdu, which is a great cause that the Northern Wei Dynasty has not been able to complete in its strongest period, and the result has been achieved in the Western Wei Dynasty in a corner of the country, which is naturally delightful and exciting.

But the worry lies in the fact that due to the excessive killing in the process of entering Chengdu, the people in Shu are boiling and turmoil is spreading, and the army of Shu can only control Chengdu and its surrounding corners.

Yuwentai also frowned immediately after learning of this situation, and even summoned all the confidants and important ministers of the Chinese and foreign governments to discuss countermeasures.

"The former cut down Shu because Xiao Ji abandoned his people, Shu was empty and lacking governance, and the sky gave me and I had to take it. After Bo Juluo entered the country, he also remembered the previous instructions, used his tactics carefully, and did not deter with murder but inspired by benevolence and righteousness. ”

After all the ministers were summoned into the hall, Yuwentai took the first step and said: "After besieging the city for several decades, there was no mistake, and finally forced the guards to surrender. It's hateful that there are still slippery and untamable in the city, and they have to be cleared up. The Shu people are greedy and chaotic, and now the army is in Chengdu, do you have a good plan? ”

Although Yu Wentai deliberately blurred Wei Chi Yuan's responsibility in this regard, the real predicament will not be blinded, and the war against Shu has come to this point, and the development of the situation is indeed beyond the normal track originally expected, or it is developing towards one of the worst scenarios predicted before sending troops.

In the original plan, the main enemy faced by this expedition to Shu was only the Yizhou official army led by Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, and because of Xiao Ji's eastern expedition, the number of these Yizhou officers and troops was not too much.

As for the local heroes in Yizhou, they are not the enemies that need to be faced in the first stage. After the Western Wei Dynasty succeeded in conquering Shu and determined the rule of Shuzhong, it would be in the process of rebuilding order to attack or pull these Fangyu Haoqiang. As long as the means are used properly, there will basically be no group confrontation.

But now, because Wei Chi Yu has caused too many killings in Chengdu, the personnel contradictions that could have been postponed have erupted in advance.

Especially the Hou Jing Rebellion has just ended, although Shuzhong has not been affected, but the serious damage caused by Hou Jing's rebellion against the Jiangnan region must have also made these Shu heroes vigilant, and now the Wei army has put on a ruthless killer face when it enters Shu, which will inevitably make it doubly difficult for the Western Wei to conquer and control Shuzhong.

Take the current situation as an example, although the Western Wei army has successfully entered Chengdu City, but the surrounding areas of the Chengdu Plain are in turmoil, and many powerful factions in Bashu have put on an attitude of refusing to cooperate or even direct confrontation, which is naturally not the conquest of Shuzhong.

This is a very complex issue, and if you want to solve it properly, you need to take into account all the factors.

It's just that the reason why Yuwentai set the tone of things first is not because of Wei Chiyu, but because the Shu people are greedy, which greatly limits the scope of discussion, at least on the issue of continuing to carry out united front work against the Shu people, it is not easy to play arbitrarily.

When the other subordinates in the hall were still bowing their heads and pondering how to answer, Li Zhi, a young man in attendance, took the lead in getting up and said: "The division of Shu has been used for half a year, although the soldiers are brave but tired, and now the thieves in Shu are everywhere, and the fights are frequent, I don't know when the return date is, it is advisable to send an envoy to preach and comfort the recruits." The Shu people are restless, thinking that they are unknown and frightened, Wei Angong is not only majestic, but it is not appropriate to change his course at this time, and he needs to double his intimidation, continue to send more elite soldiers to benefit the army, punish the former and the future, and prevent future troubles! ”

As soon as Li Zhi said this, many of the subordinates present showed their approval, and most of them were young people who had been appreciated and cultivated by Master Yuwen in recent years.

In their opinion, cutting down Shu is not something that needs to be taken seriously, and the most difficult thing is just the difficulty of Shu. Now that the difficulties of Shu Road have been overcome, even Chengdu has been conquered, and even if there are people in the Quartet, they are just a rabble, and they will continue to send more people to suppress them.

However, after Li Zhi finished speaking, Yu Wentai's face first showed a somewhat unnatural expression. If it was that simple, why would he call a crowd to talk about it?

In the final analysis, all difficulties are due to lack of strength, and the additional dispatch of people can not only deal with Shuzhong, but also directly deal with Jiangling. Even if there are enough people, it is not a problem to set foot in Jinyang and destroy the Northern Qi. But the question is, how many people are enough? And where did they get these centaurs?

Although the young people are more energetic and energetic, if you talk about steady aging, you have to be the old people in Taiwan.

Shen Hui, who had just returned to the Chinese and foreign governments from Guazhou, said after a deep sigh: "The Shu Road is difficult and dangerous, and it is not easy to enter and exit. The danger of Shu Road, if you want to get one-third, you must work for ten. Nowadays, the state has not been filled, and the poor manpower and material resources are in this four places, and the gains and losses need to be carefully weighed. ”

Hearing Shen Hui's rejection of his proposal, Li Zhidang said even with some unhappiness: "According to what Shen Gong saw, could it be that he just sat back and watched the army of Shu sit in the lonely city and not provide reinforcements?" Regretting this momentary material resources, but making the previous efforts go to waste, this is the reason of the wise man's plan? ”

This is a bit aggressive, Shen Hui has been outside for a long time, so he is a little unfamiliar with many rising stars in China and abroad, in line with the attitude of talking about things, but he doesn't want to be questioned by this Li Zhi about his IQ, his brows wrinkled, so he asked rhetorically: "According to what Li Ji saw in the room, where did the soldiers come from?" Should I come out geometry? How much do you have to prepare? When is the levy period? ”

"It takes a lot of wisdom to be able to anticipate everything. If you need to make a decision to always give advice, then why do you need to be sensitized? So far, it has become an unprecedented achievement, in order to keep this achievement, it is also the right thing to invest in more characters! ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, said confidently, and then said in a passionate voice: "When Bashu is decided, you can look at Jiangling, and if you destroy Jiangling, Jiangnan can also be hoped." There are three points of the world to be embraced, what can the thief do? Controlling a Shu and winning the world, how much does this gain or loss, I don't know if Shen Gong can weigh it carefully? ”

When Shen Hui heard these bold words, he subconsciously opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

At the beginning of the twelfth year of his reign, he went to Guazhou to work, and stayed for more than five years, when the Western Wei Dynasty had just come out of the haze of defeat in the Battle of Bishan, and accumulated some strength to reopen the Longyou Hexi, but he didn't want to return to the Chinese and foreign mansions this time, and the topic of discussion had risen to the point of looking at the world at every turn, which naturally made him feel quite uncomfortable, and he only felt that he couldn't keep up with this rhythm.

"Shen Gong is lenient and thoughtful, Li Lang is long-term, and has a long-term vision. Each has its own specialty, each has its own strengths. For now, all you need to do is to give wisdom and deeds, not to argue for anger! ”

Yuwentai was a little emotional when he heard the remarks of both sides, and even frowned and said.

After hearing this, the two of them got up and nodded, but Shen Hui was somewhat depressed, while Li Zhi was full of energy.

Although his tone and attitude were a little biased towards Li Zhi, when he actually faced the problem, Yuwentai also agreed with Shen Hui's plan, and said slowly: "It's okay to continue to increase troops." But now that autumn and winter are coming, the East Thieves are becoming more and more irritable, and the river defense must not be lost. It is also a good policy if it can be properly concluded because of the personnel in Shuzhong. ”

This is a bit of a scoundrel, not only refusing to admit Wei Chi's mistake, but also wanting to rely on the existing personnel in Shuzhong to solve the difficulties faced at the moment, wishful thinking is too loud, so that everyone present is speechless for a while.

"Why don't you send Yang Qianyun back to Tongzhou, so that he can lead his troops to pacify the rebellious people in all directions?"

A moment later, someone spoke.

But as soon as these words came out, they were immediately opposed by several people: "No, Yang Qianyun is a repeated, he is happy when he hears the benefits, and he is lighter than going, and he can't be accepted as a confidant!" Once you are waiting to be repatriated, it will increase the hidden danger variables! ”

One by one, suggestions were put forward, and then they were opposed, and everyone discussed for a long time without reaching a conclusion, which made the atmosphere of the meeting fall into a rather strange situation for a while. It's not that there isn't a smart person among so many subordinates in the Chinese and foreign governments, and the reason everyone knows is that the impasse caused by the attitude that Yuwentai showed at the beginning.

At this time, Lu Yan, who returned to the Chinese and foreign mansions to serve as the secretary's office, said: "If it is difficult to decide the wisdom of the people in the palace, it is better to ask the border towns in all directions, General Li of Jingzhou has far-reaching plans and is familiar with border affairs. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became more subtle, and the people present either bowed their heads and silently read the documents on the case, or squinted their eyes to secretly peek at the expression of Master Yuwen in the hall. The last time the lieutenant general Li Da was connected with the matter of destroying Shu and discussing it, it was Wei Chi Hui who said that he secretly communicated with Shu and deceived him, the chief general of Shu.

Yuwentai's face changed slightly when he heard Lu Yan's words, and he nodded slowly after a while, but he didn't say anything.
