The process of bringing the emperor from Chang'an to Tongzhou was very smooth, one is that the emperor does not have much self-esteem in the current situation, but is just a puppet at the mercy of the Chinese and foreign governments, and the other is that the Chinese and foreign governments did not tell the real situation, but used the reason that the front-line division and brigade won a great victory, and Otsuka Zai sent an envoy to arrange for His Majesty the emperor to return to the old capital and pay tribute to the previous king as a cover.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is also very normal. Although the imperial power of the Western Wei Dynasty was declining, it was still the legal system of the regime after all. In the past, whenever there was a large-scale war in the country, or when he went out to patrol the borders, Otsuka Zaiyu Wentai would either act with the emperor or arrange for the prince to accompany the army.

It's just that this time the Eastern Expedition to Northern Qi was because Yuwentai wanted to promote his martial arts and authority, so he didn't arrange for the emperor to accompany him. But now that the front line has been victorious and the strong enemy has been defeated, of course, such a big thing as recovering Heluo must be witnessed by the emperor.

Therefore, the people of Chang'an did not doubt this arrangement, of course, in the final analysis, they were still willing to believe, or hope in their hearts, that this expedition could be a complete victory.

When the emperor arrived in Tongzhou, Yu Wenjue led the Chinese and foreign government officials to wait outside the city early in the morning, warmly and respectfully welcomed the emperor and his entourage into the city, and after the banquet was over, the emperor was temporarily placed in the Chinese and foreign mansions to live, and then escorted His Majesty the emperor eastward to Luoyang after the front line sent the line date.

For those who are not the descendants of the overlord, it is natural to be able to hide it for a while, but for the real henchmen of the overlord, of course, it is necessary to fully communicate, so as to coordinate the internal and work together to deal with the next changes.

Therefore, after settling the emperor and his entourage, Li Zhi and others invited Yuwenyu, Cai You, and several sons-in-law of the Yuwen family into the side hall, and then told the truth. And when everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed.

"The situation on the front line is so precarious, I don't know if there is a rescue plan in the house?"

Cai You is not only a loyal henchman of the overlord, but also has a deep relationship with Otsuka Zai, and when he learned that the lord was sick and the army was defeated, he asked quickly.

Hearing Cai You say this, Li Zhi gave Yu Wenjue a look to Yu Wenjue, who was sitting at the top, and Yu Wenjue also took a deep breath and then stood up, and said according to the previous agreement between them: "Although the situation in Yiyang can be maintained for the time being, the army must not be left out for a long time. As soon as the news of the defeat spreads, the people in the country will be terrified, so it is necessary to send reinforcements to return the army as soon as possible!"

After everyone heard this, they all nodded again and again, at present, Guanzhong is indeed lacking a strong person who can stabilize the overall situation, and the sooner the army returns, the better.

Li Zhi did not confide all the information to them, such as the fact that Otsuka Jae sent Liang Rui to ask for help from the Taiyuan King of Xiangyang, which he deliberately concealed, in order to make everyone panic and not have more distractions, so as to question the decision of the Chinese and foreign governments.

At this time, while everyone was still digesting this shocking news, he spoke again: "The former is the main one who reorganizes the army to conquer the Eastern Thieves, and there are seven or eight out of ten Chinese and foreign government divisions and brigades, and there are very few who stay in the country. Now that things are in trouble, if you want to save the army and save the situation, you must sweep the ground and become soldiers, and all the remaining soldiers in the country must obey the dispatch of the foreign government!"

Yuwentai invested more than 100,000 people in this expedition, which has accounted for more than half of the military strength that can be mobilized by the Chinese and foreign governments, so that the military strength in Guanzhong has now been reduced to a very low standard, and there are a total of 50,000 or 60,000 people inside and outside, and a considerable part of them are local garrison forces stationed between the state and county gates and difficult to mobilize.

Now Guanzhong is on the bright side that can be reorganized and dispatched, and there are more than 20,000 garrisons around Tongzhou, more than 10,000 soldiers in the Longyou Division and Brigade led by Chang'an Forbidden Army and Yuwenyu, and thousands of troops and horses under Hou Mo Chen Chong stationed in Weinan. Taken together, there are less than 40,000 divisions and brigades.

At first glance, this troop figure seems to be quite impressive, but if it is placed in the entire Guanzhong Plain for defense, the troop strength is somewhat stretched and completely insufficient. Moreover, for example, the 20,000 Tongzhou garrisons controlled by the Chinese and foreign governments, more than half of them are river defense soldiers stationed along the river, and some of them are overserved, and they should have been released to the township to recuperate a few months ago, but they still maintained a state of conquest because of the Eastern Crusade.

In other words, there are very few mobile forces that can be mobilized by the Chinese and foreign governments, and if they want to continue to send more men and horses as reinforcements, they can only find ways to do it from other places. Under the circumstance that the men and horses of Xiangyang may knock on the pass at any time, the men and horses of Hou Mo Chen Chong's department in Weinan naturally cannot be easily mobilized, and the only ones who can rely on are these divisions and brigades that have just arrived in Tongzhou from Chang'an.

Li Zhi made these words to foreshadow the purpose of making sure that the Chinese and foreign governments had the right to command and dispatch these horses. Under normal circumstances, of course, these people must also obey the dispatch of the Chinese and foreign governments, but the problem is that the current situation is not normal. Otsuka Zai is not in the government, and the prestige of Yuwenjue or Li Zhi and other Chinese and foreign government subordinates alone is far from enough to make these generals obey orders.

After hearing Li Zhi say this, Cai You took the lead in standing up and said: "The Duke of Luoyang was ordered to stay in the mansion, and Si Lu and others have won the trust of the Lord and cardinals for a long time.

After Cai You finished speaking, Yuwen Yu and several sons-in-law of the Yuwen family also nodded their heads and said that they would obey the orders of the Chinese and foreign governments.

Taking advantage of this harmonious atmosphere, Yuwen Jue stood up again and looked at Yu Wenyu and said, "The former lord went out on the expedition, so that I and my brother should be separated from each other, but now the situation has changed, and the previous order also needs to be changed to deal with the situation.

Now that the army is going east to help, it only needs to be brave and full of heroism, and it is easy to do. But staying in the house needs to deal with the complicated and idle dramas, but also to be macro and tolerant, and manage all kinds of opportunities, which is very difficult, and it is really not my simple teenager who can do it. For the sake of family affairs and state affairs, please stay in the house, for this difficult matter, my brother please lead the army east to the rescue!"

Yu Wenyu was stunned when he heard this, it is self-evident who is easy and who is difficult to stay in the house and lead the army to rescue, and the relationship between him and Yu Wenjue, a brother, is really not good, I really didn't expect this young brother with a somewhat strong temperament and almost stubbornness to be so high-spirited and carry forward his style at this time.

However, Yu Wenyu didn't care about why Yu Wenjue had changed his personality at this time, so he hurriedly said, "The lord stepped forward to hand over the affairs of the government to my brother, and since there was no silent order to convey it, how could it be changed rashly! Since the army set out, Ah Di has been in charge of the affairs of the government in an orderly manner, both inside and outside, and it is by no means unbearable. And I am a mediocre person, and suddenly it is really difficult to take on the important responsibilities of the government, although I am not known for my talents, but I dare not avoid the national crisis and the family is in trouble, and I am willing to go to the country for the sake of the subordinates of the army and the pass!"

Next to Cai You and others also felt that there was something wrong with this matter, one of the interpersonal relationships of Ningdugong was more complicated, whether it was his father-in-law Duguxin or his brother-in-law Li Boshan, they were the objects that the Chinese and foreign governments needed to watch out for, and now there was a lack of strong people in the country, let alone rush to hand over the personnel of the Chinese and foreign governments to Ningdugong.

Second, even Otsuka Zai and all the famous ministers and generals lost the battle with the Qi army, and the situation was critical, how could the reinforcements that the country had managed to raise easily be delivered to the reckless young man who had no experience in the Rong brigade and led east by him!

Yu Wenjue acted according to the plan he had discussed with Li Zhi and the others before, but when he saw that everyone's reaction was different from what he expected, his heart suddenly became irritable.

Especially when he heard a few people alluding to his own difficult rescue mission, he was even more unhappy, and even when he shot the case, he shouted angrily: "Shut up for me!" Now that my father is a little sick, you have dared to disobey my orders, if you come to Japan......

"Duke Luoyang, please stop being angry!"

Seeing that Yuwen Jue had become annoyed and angry, Li Zhi hurriedly interrupted his words, and immediately explained to everyone with an apologetic face: "Since I learned that the lord's body was sick, the prince of Luoyang was restless in his sleep and food, and he was burned all in his heart. The lowly rank also knows that Ning Du Gong wants to be in the same situation, but please Ning Du Gong has a heavy responsibility with his teeth, and does not live up to internal and external expectations."

After Yu Wenyu saw this, he could only nod his head to indicate that he was willing to stay in the mansion, and handed over the Longyou Division and Brigade under his command to Yu Wenjue to form reinforcements.

Next, Yu Wenyu listened to the advice of Li Zhi and others, first ordered the people and horses of the department to be temporarily settled in the military city east of Tongzhou City, and then summoned the central part of the general to the Chinese and foreign governments to assist him in taking over the affairs of the Chinese and foreign governments as soon as possible, and took charge of his army and military with Sun Heng, a subordinate official of the Chinese and foreign governments.

But

When Yu Wenyu and his important subordinates gathered in the Chinese and foreign mansions, Li Zhi and the others changed their faces immediately, and they no longer mentioned the matter of handing over the affairs with them, but put Yu Wenyu under house arrest in the mansion and put them under strict guard, and said viciously: "The situation is critical today, because I am afraid that the South Mountain Road will spy on the troubled country, please Ningdu Gong temporarily stay in the mansion to clear himself, and do not lose his self-respect!"

Yu Wenyu was at the mercy of this, and he was extremely ashamed and angry in his heart, and after hearing this, he said angrily: "Now that my family and country are in danger, but it can help improve the situation, I can do anything, why do Si Lu and others do this? Shannan Province is neither a foreign enemy, nor am I a thief in trouble, in order to deal with danger, especially need to gather all forces to save themselves, this Silu and other things, the inside is to confine siblings, and the outside is alienated and strong, is it a plan to save the crisis? What is self-respect?"

After Li Zhi and the others heard this reprimand, they couldn't help but show a sneering attitude, but they quickly replied confidently: "Since the Lord has left a lowly rank on duty, he is to pay for this situation. Save the crisis and strive for the strong, and the lowly rank does not dare to resign. Ning Dugong is not in his position, he can sit back and enjoy his success."
