Wuchuan Baidao is located in the Yinshan Mountains and is an important passage in and out of the Monan Grassland. In times of war, this was an important route for military strategists. In times of peace, a large number of merchants will come and go here.
"In spring and summer, the mountains are green and the mountain roads are monologues, so they are called Baidao. Where people gather, there are many disputes. When I was a teenager, I knew how to control horses, so I followed my brothers to fight with people on Baidao. In those days,
Carefree and happy, wandering around all day, carefree..."
Yuwentai's condition today is much better than usual. After waking up from his sleep, he seems to be very energetic. He also talked with great interest about his hometown Wuchuan Town to Li Yuan who had been sleeping in front of the bathroom.
"The best thing in life is to be a young man, who has a father and brother to make a living at home. A young man just wanders around the countryside, and he will be punished. A businessman stole a lamb from my clan. I followed him for hundreds of miles and killed him on the way! When I returned home, my parents called me a strong man.
I am grieving for what I have suffered!"
When talking about his mischievous youth, Yu Wentai still looked complacent, but soon his eyes became a little dim: "Back then, there was a wild jujube tree hidden in the forest, and I looked forward to going back to the mountain to pick it again next year.
, I didn’t expect that I would never see you again when I left. The scenery of Baidao can only be seen in my dreams, and the father and brother who led me to leave my hometown have become wandering ghosts..."
When Li Yuan heard that Yu Wentai's tone became sad, he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, please rest in peace and recuperate. When your body recovers, I will follow you to conquer the four directions. You can go north to Heshuo and patrol the Baidao.
Homecoming in glory!"
"Alas, I have seen many mountains and rivers in my life, but none of them are as sweet and lovely as my hometown. If I had known that the year would end like this, I might not have come to Heluo. I am so homesick that my bones are broken. Although Guanzhong is nice, it is not my hometown.
.”
Yu Wentai sighed again, and then looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile: "Long live Li, long live, this is really auspicious words, can people really live forever? The aging of heroes is especially pitiful. Many people in the world are doing nothing and accomplishing nothing. I
But there are many big plans that have not been made, ambitions that have not been realized, and the heaven is so unfaithful to me, it is hateful and hateful!"
When he said this, Yu Wentai was already in tears, and his tear-filled eyes were full of attachment and reluctance to the world. When Li Yuan and other close relatives next to him saw this scene, they couldn't help but shed tears and were filled with sadness.
"When is it today? Has the apostle arrived in Xiangyang? Does Boshan know that I am here to wait for him? The boy has a strong temper. Do you still blame me for the past?"
After a while, Yu Wentai asked someone to lift the curtains in front of the window, looked at the sky and snow outside, and murmured: "It's a pity that he is not my son. It's a pity... I have no regrets about having a son like this."
If the father is like me, the children will also be lucky. If father and son are of the same mind, the world will not be peaceful, and the king's affairs will be prosperous."
In the evening, the scattered snowflakes turned into heavy snow. In the afternoon, Yu Wentai ate a little liquid, and then fell asleep again. After nightfall, he suddenly woke up again and began to vomit blood from his mouth.
Seeing this, Li Yuan and others quickly summoned Yu Wenhu and Yu Chi Gang, who were still dealing with military and political affairs.
When he saw his uncle's front was full of blood and his face was in pain, he looked like he was working so hard. Yuwenhu burst into tears. He lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Uncle, uncle, if it's hard for you, just go ahead..."
I am responsible for the family affairs, and I will live up to my uncle’s trust!”
At this time, Yu Wentai was close to death, his consciousness was blurred, and he could not hear any sound in his ears. His hands were grasping in the void in pain, and his body occasionally stiffened. The look of his dying struggle was extremely sad.
"Sabao, Sabao, don't lose..."
After two hoarse shouts, Yu Wentai completely lost his voice. His body, which had been tortured by illness for a long time, fell into the quilt, and a great man of his generation passed away.
"Uncle! Ah, uncle..."
At this moment, Yu Wenhu also beat his chest and cried loudly. The cry was extremely sad. His father Yu Wenhao died in Wuchuan in his early years. This uncle has always been the same as his father. He has deep feelings. At this moment, he also feels sad in his heart.
Grief as sharp as a knife.
Everyone else in the room also knelt around the bed, crying and saying goodbye: "Have a nice journey, Lord!"
Snow was falling outside the door, and the howling cold wind covered up the mournful cries. But in a corner where no one was paying attention, there was someone like a ghost walking at night, braving the snow and cold and walking quickly outside.
When Yuwen Hu, Li Yuan, Yu Chigang and others persuaded him to endure his grief and cheer up to consider handling the personnel situation after Yuwentai's death, the news of Yuwentai's death was also transmitted to the outside world in a secret way.
During this period, Dugu Xin was wary of Yu Wenhu because of his frequent contact with military generals, and the atmosphere between them became increasingly subtle. Dugu Xin also knew that the more this situation happened, the more he needed to be cautious in order to avoid
If there was any substantial friction or conflict between them, he would simply live in the military camp outside the city.
At night, Dugu Xin had fallen asleep. The soldiers hurried into the tent and reported the news in a low voice. After hearing this, Dugu Xin immediately lost all sleep and got up from the bed to get dressed. He walked out of the tent and looked at the Jiuqu City shrouded in heavy snow and was speechless for a long time.
After a while, after returning to the account, people set up a sacrificial table to pay homage to the deceased according to Xianbei etiquette.
After a period of time, people came to visit one after another, but Dugu Xin did not receive them. He waited until the soldiers came to inform Nanyang Gong that Zhao Gui was visiting. Dugu Xin knew that he could not delay the visit that night, so he led Zhao Gui into the tent.
.
Zhao Gui did not come here alone, he was followed by several generals. After entering the account and seeing the memorial table that had been used as a memorial, a trace of sadness flashed in each of their eyes, but soon the emotion was dispersed by reason.
"Although the news of Otsuka Zai's death cannot be publicized for the time being, it is a fact that the situation is more critical now. It is difficult for Lord Zhongshan to take on a big task, and if the general is not available, who should the officers and soldiers of the army look up to?"
One of the governor generals, Yu Wensheng, saw that Zhao Gui and Dugu Xin were both silent, so he spoke directly.
After hearing this, several other fellow governors also nodded in agreement, expressing their willingness to follow Dugu Xin into the city and take over the military affairs of the city from Yu Wenhu.
When Dugu Xin saw the eager and excited faces of several people, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that the reason why these people were so excited was not because he was really popular, but because of the upcoming King of Taiyuan.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the news that Otsuka sent an envoy to summon King Taiyuan to lead troops for reinforcements had been announced a few days ago. Although this may add some trouble and trouble to the reinforcements, it finally allowed the trapped troops to come.
The soldiers in Jiuqu City began to feel hopeful.
The conflicts and contradictions that broke out between the Chinese and Foreign Governments and the Taiwanese Government are no secret. Once King Taiyuan arrives, although it will turn the situation around, it will also inevitably change the original personnel order of the Chinese and Foreign Governments.
These people want to show off before King Taiyuan arrives, so they are so active in supporting Dugu Xin to seize military power from Yu Wenhu. But the problem is, they need to show off, but Dugu Xin doesn't need to!
At present, the division and brigade are trapped in Jiuqu City. As long as Li Tai comes here, the situation will turn around and the initiative will be with Li Tai. Dugu Xin does not need to make any risky moves at all to obtain a transcendent status.
However, if he takes advantage of Otsuka's new mourning to stir up trouble and seize power, not to mention the moral injustice, even if he seizes the military power of Jiuqu City, it will not mean much to Dugu Xin. It is simply an unnecessary crime.
risk!
"At present, there is a powerful enemy, especially civil strife. Mr. Nakayama may be incompetent, but after all, it is Mr. Otsuka who is in charge. In the current situation, blind action is not as good as seeking stability. If there is any chaos and the enemy takes advantage of it, then it will be terrible
It’s too late to regret it!”
Duguxin was not blindly confident because of everyone's praise. Even if he succeeded in seizing power, he had no clever plan to defeat the enemy. But if his plan was not smooth enough, the situation might collapse at that time.
Hearing what Dugu Xin said, the expressions of several generals became a little unnatural. Dugu Xin flinched here, not to mention whether they could perform before King Taiyuan arrived, if the key situation was leaked, there would be
He may suffer retaliation and suppression from Yu Wenhu.
"Da Sima puts the overall situation first and is indeed thoughtful. The current situation in Jiuqu City is more restless than calm. Although Zhongshan Gong is not talented, as long as he sticks to the city and waits for the reinforcements of King Taiyuan to arrive, things will turn around."
Zhao Gui also nodded in agreement with Dugu Xin's words, but then he said: "What is really worrying at the moment is the situation in Guanzhong. The former goes out to fight, and all the generals in the country will come out. If there is any human disturbance, those who are left behind may not be able to quickly quell the chaos.
I am just standing firm here in Yiyang, and it will not help if all the people stay here. It is better to quickly return to Guanzhong with Qingqi to stabilize the mood of the people in Guanzhong and make my future safe! Moreover, the King of Taiyuan has not returned to the court for a long time, and the personnel in the country will inevitably become unfamiliar. If
Da Sima returns to the court first to provide guidance, so that strangers can get along as quickly as possible!"
Dugu Xin's eyes suddenly brightened up after hearing this. Indeed, only Mo Chenchong, the Marquis of Zhuguo, and the two sons who were forcibly promoted by Yu Wentai are in control of the situation in Guanzhong. Once the news of these changes is spread back to Guanzhong, these people alone will be very powerful.
It is difficult to stabilize the situation.
It doesn't mean much for him to stay here in Yiyang, but if he returns to Guanzhong first, the importance will be highlighted! It has a very positive meaning for him personally and for Li Tai, and he can also avoid these governors.
Here he is doing random things in his name.
When he thought of this, Dugu Xin was immediately moved. After hearing Zhao Gui's proposal, several governor generals were also excited, with expressions of eagerness to try on their faces.
The situation on the front line is now becoming increasingly difficult. Even if King Taiyuan arrives, it is not known whether the situation can be reversed immediately. If they can return to Guanzhong from Duguxin first, they can not only stay away from the danger on the front line, but also adjust the personnel order in the future.
Occupy a favorable position in advance during the process!
