The autumn rain continues, and there is no end to it.

Although Yu Wenyong has decided to conquer Qi in person, but the heavenly prince is not beautiful, and Chang'an, which has always been arid in the autumn of previous years, and even a large area within Yongzhou are soaked in rain.

The fiery rain in Yuwen Yong's heart was half extinguished, but now the situation in Zhou Guo is getting more and more difficult day by day, and it cannot be delayed. Yu Wenyong was anxious, and forced the pillars and generals of the 24th Army to go to the palace to discuss matters, and the group of people had a chance to refuse? After some hurried preparations, prepare to discuss the "strategy of begging thieves" in front of the steps of the Son of Heaven.

There are many people present today, in addition to the crown prince Yu Wenyun, Chen Wang Yu Wenchun, Yue Wang Yu Wensheng, Zhao Wangyu Wenzhao, and Yuwen Shenju, there are also Ma Xiaonan of Xingyang Company, Zheng Gongda Xi Zhen, Suigong Yang Jian, Zhou Chang Marquis Mo Chen Qiong, Liang Gong Hou Mo Chen Qi, Changshan Gong Yu Yi, Fuyang County Duke Zhao Zhongqing......

There are also veterans such as Taifu Dou Chi, Tai'an County Gong Yan Qing, Zhangye County Duke Wang Jie, Feng Qian, Li He, Yi Loumu, Cui Yanmu, Dou Yi and other veterans who followed Yuwentai in the past......

Although it may not be complete, except for some border generals such as Wang Rail, Da Xi Changru, Wei Xuan, Wei Xiaokuan, etc., who are still far away from the border guards, the rest of the Zhou State can fight, even if there is still a breath left, are here!

"When the national disaster is at hand, I won't greet you Aiqing, and today's red tape will be waived."

Yu Wenyong hurriedly came to the hall and sat on the dragon chair, presumably because this armor did not fit well, panicked, Yuwen Yong changed his sitting posture twice before he felt safe, and then looked left and right, and said cautiously:

"The situation in the border area is very erosive, yesterday Wei Xiaokuan came to report again, and the Qi people broke my three cities again...... Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for life and death! ”

Yu Wenyong slapped the table and released all the depression accumulated in his heart for a few months:

"I'm planning to go on a personal expedition, but you Aiqing have also seen it, if you just sit and wait for the rain to shine, you don't know when you have to wait, so you just ...... No waiting! The troops must be sent as soon as possible, and if you have anything to say later, all decisions must be made today! ”

The crown prince Yu Wenyun is not enough, other people, even Yu Wenchun and Yang Jian know a little bit about military affairs, now that the national disaster is coming, everyone does not dare to joke about this kind of life and death matter, and their attitude is naturally very cautious, and they quickly entered the topic according to the requirements of Emperor Yu Wenyong

"Chang'an Standing Mansion soldiers, about 80,000 elite infantry cavalry, complete armor, proper training, even if the King of Qi transferred 24,000 people to aid Hedong, there are still more than 60,000 troops, ready to fight at any time!" Yuwen Yong's confidant Yuwen Shenju was naturally the first to respond.

"It's too little," Yu Wenyong immediately shook his head after hearing this, and said in a surprising voice: "I see, not 300,000 soldiers and horses are not enough to resist the Qi State!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the ministers sitting in the column lost their voices, but even many veterans were in a trance. What is the concept of 300,000 soldiers? A few mouthfuls of saliva per person are afraid that half of Chang'an City will be flooded. Throughout the Great Week, all troops will be drained!

"The minister seconded the proposal," everyone either looked puzzled, or was about to question, Yuwen Sheng came out to reply, and said to the Son of Heaven and the Rank of Minister:

"Qi has been planning for this battle for many years, and has heavy troops in Jinnan Fenqu, Jinzhou Road, Heyin, Luoyang, and Nanyang, and now Qi is attacking me from three sides, and the Lord of Qi has led 200,000 troops from Luoyang to attack my Tongguan portal.

"The sentinel came to report, Qi Jingqi covered the sun, the men and horses were majestic, and the soldiers stretched for dozens of miles west from the Han Valley! Not to mention that there are still large troops left behind in Jinju Province to defend and postpone, and its momentum cannot be underestimated.

"Whether this battle is an attack or a stubborn defense, it can't change the essence of the enemy and my outnumber, and now Nanyang, Xiangyang, Fenqu, and Huazhou are all in the hands of the enemy, and the border of our dynasty has long been leaking from all sides, to be honest, even if it is to add 100,000 people, the minister does not feel much at all.

"And to thwart this offensive of the Qi State, you must use the strength of the whole country!"

The ministers and generals were silent. In recent years, the national strength of Qi has been thriving, and the pressure on the border of Zhou has increased greatly, and everyone feels the same way, but most people obviously did not expect that the contrast between the strength of the two countries is so great now.

In the past, even when the Western Wei Dynasty was the weakest, nothing like this happened! What Yu Wensheng said may be a little exaggerated, but it is also a fact, the fact is that the current Northern Qi stomped on the Zhou State and had to be vigilant!

Yu Wenyong thought that no one should stop him now, so he spoke again:

"I just want to recruit 300,000 troops, but according to the current national strength of our dynasty, I am afraid that I am powerless...... In recent years, our DPRK has conscripted troops one after another, and it is barely enough to raise 200,000 troops when it is full. The Qi people are soldiers sent on the occasion of the autumn harvest, and the grain in Henan has all entered the warehouses of the Qi country, and as for Shuzhong, there is no need to count on it!

"Fortunately, I planned in advance, built a granary, prepared an arsenal, and collected the property obtained from Shamen is also very objective, and the materials and food in Chang'an and Guangyang are enough for 200,000 people to support a year, otherwise there is no need to fight this battle! If you want soldiers or no soldiers, if you want money or not, simply surrender and pull it! You say don't you? ”

Yu Wenyong's tone was slightly sneering, revealing a mocking look, he was mocking the incompetence of the princes of the Manchu Dynasty.

The ministers also probably understood what the emperor meant, but they were even more timid and retreated, and in the face of the emperor's aggressive posture, they just sat in place, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and did not say a word.

Yu Wenyong was even more disappointed in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he slowly stood up, his hands stuck on his belt, and the lower steps circled in front of the ministers, and it seemed that he was directly ready to finish:

"That's it...... The troops of Zhenguan are divided into four routes, Gao Yanzong attacked Xiazhou, the road is far away, the supply is difficult to continue, it will not last long, there is no need to worry; Gao Changgong sent troops from Nanyang to attack Wuguan, Xin Wei and Yuwenshu must go to the rescue, and they are not worry-free for the time being, there are only two ways for the Qi army to be the main force, one is in Fennan, and the other is in Tongguan,

"Hu Luguang of Fenzhou, brave and good at fighting, coercing the dangerous places in Fenzhou, attacking jade and threatening the Guannei; Luoyang Gao Wei personally arrived, from the west of Hangu, has sent tens of thousands of troops, and the momentum is unstoppable. It can be seen from this that the heavy men of the Qi army are all in Hedong and Henan, and only by breaking the main force can I win.

"Hu Luguang's jurisdiction is too wide, taking care of one and losing the other, he can't deal with Huazhou, Zhongzhou, Dugu Yongye is a major general, in the short term, this condition will not change, this is our opportunity...... Naroyan—"

Yang Jian immediately raised his head, the emperor pointed at him, hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind: "Hongnong is your hometown, and this decision is also your main counselor, I will order you to go to the expedition, Zhao Zhongqing is the deputy, you two must take Hongnong back, clear the barrier for our army, and wait for the opportunity to go east." ”

The two immediately bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Yang Jian was a little disappointed on his face, but he was actually secretly happy in his heart, he has been fighting for political status for several years, if he can get a share of military merits in the war, it will be his best political capital.

And Zhao Zhongqing and his person, Yu Wenyong may not know his ability, but how can Yang Jian, who is a young man, not know?

Yang Jian has known since he was a child that he can fight and be strategic, but this time, for some reason, Yu Wenyong kicked him to his side.

Yang Jian may have a good military and political strategy, but the actual combat is far inferior to him, it is conceivable that Zhao Zhongqing will be his natural ally and the biggest helper!

Yang Jian quickly lowered his head, quickly hiding the joy that flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Zhongqing was stunned at first, and originally wanted to fight for himself again, but then seeing that the emperor didn't notice his reaction, he announced other appointments on his own, so he could only accept them. This was naturally expected by Yang Jian.

Yuwen Yong singled out Yu Wenchun, Yu Wensheng, Yu Wenzhao, Yu Yi, Hou Mo Chen Qiong, Hou Mo Chen Qi, Wang Jie, Yuwen Shenju and others, and barely made the best use of their resources and talents.

Subsequently, Yuwen Yong announced that the crown prince Yuwen Yun would supervise the country, and Dou Chi and Yan Qing would assist the prince, stay in Chang'an, and be ready to help all parties at all times.

This is not out of everyone's expectations, it is customary for the emperor to go out to stay behind the prince, I don't see how old the prince of Qi is still in prison, Yu Wenyun's age is not one or two years old with Gao Wei, not to mention that he will always be compared with Gao Wei, the lord of Qi, and Gao Heng will always be compared to the house, right?

Yu Wenyong adheres to the tenet of 'not fighting, not scolding, not scolding', and educating the prince has always been strict to the point of strictness, under the control of Yuwen Yong, Yu Wenyun didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, such as canonizing the five princesses and the like can only be thought about in a dream...... Therefore, in the eyes of the ministers, although this prince is not too brilliant and his nature is a little frivolous, he is so-so and passable.

As for Dou Chi and Yan Qing, the reason why they were allowed to stay was that they valued their Taizu Conglong Laochen's status, which had high prestige and could be controlled. Second, it is also because the level of governance of these two people is higher than that of the military, and they may play a much greater role in the rear than in the front.

Dou Chi may be mediocre, but Yan Qing is absolutely reliable.

Thinking that Yuwen Yong had such an arrangement, he was also afraid that the prince would make a mess of his rear.

For the sake of this unsuccessful boy, this old father can be said to have broken his heart!

When his eyes swept over, he glared at the prince fiercely, and Yu Wenyun, who couldn't help but smile just now, immediately didn't dare to make a sound, and lowered his head to pretend to be a quail. Yu Wenyong sighed heavily in his heart, if he could, he would definitely stuff the prince back into his mother's womb and be reborn!

That's it, the overall situation is important, and I'll worry about things in the future!

Yu Wenyong put aside the troubles for the time being, and began to think about the more practical problems in front of him, let go of the hand holding the belt, and asked in a loud voice: "When can I leave at the earliest?" ”

Immediately, a courtier sweated profusely and said: "There are more than 200,000 government troops, 60,000 auxiliary soldiers, including 20,000 cavalry, 160,000 infantry, grain, grass, ordnance, war horses, and people......

"Two more days? Don't be two days after two days! Yu Wenyong frowned, obviously dissatisfied, "The soldiers are fast, in two days, God knows what has changed in the battle situation!" ”

The minister buried his head and didn't dare to make a sound, thinking that there was really no way to come, Yu Wenyong became more and more impatient, and turned back and forth twice irritably, and suddenly had an idea, and ordered the two of them to come out on the spot:

"The country of Qi is menacing, but I still need time here, like this...... Yi Louqian and Yuan Wei, the two of you went on an envoy to talk to Gao Wei on behalf of me, and said that I don't want to fight, I can't afford to fight, and I am willing to cede the land and ask for peace, and ask him if he is willing? A fierce light flashed in his eyes.
