Chapter 99 Dilemma

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Yu Wenhuaji became more and more angry. However, Su Fan just curled his lips and didn't care at all. As for Yu Wen Chengdu and others, they all turned their heads and pretended not to see it.

Maybe before, they might have reprimanded Su Fan.

But now, they don't know how to reprimand him. They reprimand him for disrespecting his elders. This is a dispute between father and son, and they can't intervene.

And now Su Fan has long since turned back.

They are not blind to the development of Wu County. Although they are not as concerned as Mr. Yu Wenshang, Jiangdu is too close to Wu County.

They also learned a thing or two about the changes in Wu County over the years from many people.

What Wu Jun was like before and the changes now are naturally related to this former dandy disciple in the eyes of outsiders.

"Huaji, we know your ambition, but I didn't support you before. You should know why?"

Yu Wenshang glanced at Yu Wenhuaji and said lightly.

"Father, our Yuwen Clan is not weaker than others, why not?" Yuwen Wenji was unconvinced. He thought his father was looking down on him.

As one of the four great clans, the Yuwen Clan is no less powerful than the Li Clan in the military, while the Song Clan and the Dugu Clan are even weaker.

Because the Song clan was far away from the center, it was more like a divided warlord. As for the Dugu clan, they were stronger in the officialdom, but their influence in the army became weaker and weaker because their descendants failed to live up to their expectations.

"Huh!" Yu Wenshang didn't want to explain. After all, he and his son had argued many times.

He still can't give up the idea of ​​his son. Not only his eldest son, but also Yuwen Shiji, Yuwen Zhiji and others are very ambitious.

However, ambition requires strong ability to support you, otherwise, you will just be a joke like Yang Guang.

"Chengji, what do you think?"

Yu Wenshang did not argue with Yu Wenhua and asked Su Fan instead.

This made Yu Wenhuaji a little angry, but one was his father and the other was his own son, what could he do?

I could only hold back my anger and then look at Su Fan to see if he had any 'high ideas'.

"What are your plans, Father?"

"Join the generals of the Xiaoguo Army, kill Yang Guang, replace him, and occupy Yangzhou. Based on this, whether you go north to Xuzhou, attack Luoyang, or go south to Jingxiang, you will achieve something."

Yu Wenhuaji is not a complete waste, he at least has some ideas.

Yangzhou is the old place of Wu State during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty. If Jingxiang and other places are captured, its power will be comparable to that of Wu State during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty.

Moreover, the southern side is a bit weaker than the heroes in the north. Except for the Song clan in Lingnan, other local warlords are really not necessarily the opponents of the Yuwen clan.

Once it is really won, I'm afraid there will still be some chance. Even if not, there will still be the power to separate one party.

In the original time and space, it was a pity that Yu Wenhua and his abilities were too poor, and he killed Yang Guang, making his reputation very bad, and many of his generals obeyed him. After the failure of the Northern Expedition, he was quickly defeated.

Then Li Zitong occupied Jiangdu.

However, Li Zitong is much worse than before. Today, Wu County and other places are in the hands of Su Fan.

After hearing this, Su Fan shook his head secretly. Although the plan was good, killing Yang Guang would definitely damage the reputation of the Yuwen family.

"Father, do you know that once Yang Guang dies in our Yuwen family, the reputation of the Yuwen family will be ruined. To compete for world hegemony, in addition to one's own strength, we also need talents from all over the world. So what will father do then?"

"At that time, my father was almost extinct from the many forces left behind by the Sui Dynasty."

Yu Wenhuaji killed Yang Guang and indeed occupied Jiangdu. However, his own ability was not enough to convince the crowd. In addition, many veterans of the Sui Dynasty also hated him, which was one of the reasons for his failure.

Don't look at these veterans of the Sui Dynasty, their influence is not low.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

If the rebellion doesn't kill Yang Guang, what kind of rebellion is it?

As for holding the emperor hostage to order the princes, that is even more of a joke. Even Su Fan himself knows that this is completely impossible.

The Yang family is not the Liu dynasty, which has a heritage of four hundred years. In the late Han Dynasty, the Liu family still had great prestige among the people. Therefore, when the heroes were fighting for hegemony in the late Han Dynasty, no one used the banner of rebellion at the beginning.

Only Yuan Shu, a fool, stood up and proclaimed himself emperor, but the game was over quickly.

But the Sui Dynasty was different. It had only been established for 20 or 30 years, and it could not be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It was impossible to coerce the emperor and control the princes.

The warlords everywhere will absolutely ignore it.

So in fact, the Yuwen family is also in a dilemma. I am afraid this is also the reason why Yuwen Shang did not agree to Yu Wenji.

Because he saw the biggest difficulty of the Yuwen family.

Whether to kill Yang Guang or not is a big test for Yu Wenhuaji. After killing him, his reputation will become bad and the problem will be big, unless you have the domineering power to suppress them.

However, Yuwen valve definitely does not.

Fighting for world supremacy is a competition of comprehensive strength, and talent is extremely important. No matter how bad Yang Guang's reputation is, if you kill Yang Guang, you are a traitor and a traitor, and most people are not willing to follow you at all.

If you don't kill him, keeping him alive may cause internal strife.

Yang Guang also has the Yang family behind him. Keeping him is like leaving a time bomb.

Therefore, unlike the Li Clan and the Song Clan, the Yuwen Clan did not have so many worries at all, and they could develop as much as they wanted.

"Killing Yang Guang will be detrimental to the Yuwen Clan, and keeping him will be even more detrimental, unless Yang Guang can issue an edict and voluntarily abdicate."

Su Fan came up with a solution, which was to have Yang Guang issue an imperial edict to offend himself. Anyway, he had a very bad reputation and ordered him to abdicate. In this way, Yang Guang was not the emperor, so no matter how he was imprisoned, it would not have much impact on the Yuwen family.

Threatened.

Even the Yang family would not be able to fight to the death against the Yuwen Clan for a piece of trash.

"Don't Yang Guang have several princes in the North? As soon as Yang Guang abdicates, those princes will have the opportunity to ascend to the throne. Unfortunately, they don't have much power in their hands, and they will be controlled by ambitious people from all over the world."

"But in this way, the Yuwen Clan can occupy Yangzhou openly, go south to occupy Jingxiang first, and intimidate the Song Clan, and then sit back and watch the feudal princes in the north fight. If the opportunity is right, they can also bite them."

Su Fan only has a certain degree of insight into general trends. He may not be as good as those top counselors, but he knows some general context.

Of course, the advantage of the South compared to the North is definitely a little lower because of the population, but that is history. Historically, before the Song Dynasty, the development of the South was much worse than that of the North.

But it was different after the Song Dynasty. This was one of the reasons why Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was able to successfully conquer the south and the north.

But this world is different. Even if the development of the South is not as good as that of the North, it is still somewhat powerful.

Moreover, there are war horses in the north, and there is also a Pegasus Ranch in the south, which can provide war horses. This is why the later Young Marshal's Army used the power of the Song Clan to form a north-south confrontation with the Li Clan.
