"Why did the old general say this?" Li Hui said hurriedly. "The old general was in Luoyang at that time to defend the Zhou Dynasty from the rebels. Although Xiangyang was an important town, it was really remote compared to the battlefield in the Central Plains at that time. In order to stabilize the situation, the old general
Living on the front line, even though he knew about the crisis in Xiangyang, he was able to persevere. He should be called the "pillar of the country". As long as he knows the cause and consequences, he will naturally not blame the old general. This is why His Highness the King of Qi has been protecting the old general. Because Qi
His Highness the King also knows who is loyally protecting the country of Zhou Dynasty."
Yuchi Jiong nodded slightly. Just relying on his own loyalty, he certainly didn't believe that Yu Wenxian would believe in him like this. After all, in this troubled world where betrayal is common, loyalty is the most worthless thing. Mainly because Xiangyang fell because of Yuchi Jiong.
Fighting on the front line in Luoyang, his dedication and sacrifice are obvious to all.
Firstly, Yu Wenxian must also support Yuchi Jiong to show his intention to compensate. Secondly, if Yu Wenxian really does anything to Yuchi Jiong, this is simply destroying the morale and loyalty of his own people. After all, so many people in the army support Yuchi.
Jiong, it was also because they had fought together with Yuchi Jiong on the front line of Luoyang and knew the cause and effect of the matter.
In this matter, Yuchijiong himself has a clear conscience. The people he is really sorry for are actually his old wife, Cao Xiaoda, and Yuchikuan. It was he who left them in Xiangyang in the first place. This city was destroyed when the war broke out.
After that, it is destined to be a place of death.
Yu Chi Jiong was not a cruel person, and history also proved this. When the historical captain Chi Jiong rose up in Yecheng, Wei Xiaokuan led the army to Yecheng, because there were a large number of people watching the battle outside the battlefield - for life
For the people in an imperial city like Yecheng, watching the excitement is considered a good tradition. As a result, Wei Xiaokuan directly led the army towards the people. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Yuchi Jiong had no choice but to retreat. The army was temporarily *
*, Wei Xiaokuan seized the opportunity and was completely defeated.
The records in the history books are definitely still biased towards the victor. It is impossible to know whether the truth will be darker. However, we can also see Yuchijiong's character from these words. There is kindness in his heart.
Yuchijiong felt that the people he was most sorry for were these relatives.
"Did the envoy of the Southern Barbarians ever mention my brother?" Yuchishun asked in a hesitant voice at this time.
After escaping from Xiangyang, he almost didn't want to recall that painful and humiliating past, but he couldn't forget that his brother was caught trying to cover himself, so Yuchishun wanted to know that Yuchikuan was still alive.
"No." Yu Chijiong said lightly. After all, he had experienced the vicissitudes of life, so he finally calmed down. "But Xu Shanxin carried your brother's family letter with him, so at least he is still alive. He only mentioned yours.
My daughter and son-in-law give you my regards."
"Daughter..." Yu Chishun lowered his head.
Thinking that the daughter he regards as the apple of his eye can only be given to Li Xinchen as a gift, even if Li Xinchen loves and cares for her, this is a shame for the Yuchi family. As for the son-in-law... Yuchi Shun does not want to admit that his son-in-law is
Li Xingchen.
"This is trying to shake our hearts." Yuchishun said in a confused tone.
The voice and smile of Yuchi Chifan, his beloved daughter, seemed to appear before his eyes. Of course, there were also those abandoned family members, his wives, concubines, and children. I haven’t seen them for a long, long time. I don’t know what they are doing now.
Such a life.
Yuchi Jiong sighed: "Li Xingchen has always been a scheming person with a long-term vision. When he was in Tiangongyuan, he had explicitly or covertly manipulated the relationship between us and Wei Xiaokuan, which ultimately resulted in the two armies having to fight separately.
, and also gave him various opportunities to defeat us. This time he did not directly threaten us with this, and even showed us that our family members are fine. This is also to prepare for the future."
"Want to sow discord?" Yu Chishun was startled.
It is really easy for Li Xinchen to make a fuss about this and sow discord.
"If that's the case..." Yuchi Jiong murmured, "It's good, at least it's within the scope of what we can guess. I'm afraid Li Xingchen has other tricks, and this person can step by step
In this position today, I do have extraordinary abilities."

Xiangyang, Palace Study Room.
This was also the residence of Yuchi Jiong, and earlier, Yang Jian also lived here when he was the general manager of Jingzhou.
"A sneeze." Li Xingchen sneezed.
"Your Majesty, please pay attention to the dragon body. It will be bad if it catches the wind and cold." Yang Su said with concern.
"Take the lead!" Li Xingchen said with a smile as he placed the pieces on the chessboard, "That's not necessarily true. I thought it was someone speaking ill of me behind my back. Aiqing might as well make a guess. It should be Yuchi Jiong, Yang Jianer, or
Is it Yu Wenxian?"
"I'm afraid they are all." Yang Su also smiled and said, "What do you think of the conditions given by Yang Jian?"
Yang Su came to accompany Li Xinchen to play chess. In fact, it was mainly because Yang Jian's envoy had arrived, bringing with him the peace talks conditions given by Yang Jian. Otherwise, in this winter, Li Xinchen would prefer to cuddle up in a warm quilt.
He slept with Zhang Lihua, and it was rare that Xiao Xiang and his sister-in-law were not around, so he naturally drove unscrupulously.
"Sui Guogong is very generous." Li Xingchen said with a smile, "Not to mention trade, he also compensated us a large amount of gold and silver."
"This shows that Yang Jian's harvest in this trip north is still very rich." Yang Su frowned and said, "Obviously a large part of the gold and silver should have been seized from the Turks, otherwise Yang Jian's trip north would have been consumed in the first place.
With a large amount of military rations and money, it is naturally impossible to spend generously, otherwise it will inevitably cause criticism inside and outside the court."
Li Xingchen nodded slightly and looked more solemn: "At least we have gotten some justice for our soldiers who are fighting in the wind and snow in the northwest."
"But I think the conditions offered by Yang Jian are not enough," Yang Su said immediately, "Now we are completely watching the fire from the other side. We can choose between Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian, no matter which side we stand on, the other side
We will all face a big crisis, so we can't just be satisfied with this little money."
"But which side are we on?" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows.
Yang Su showed a sly smile: "Your Majesty, isn't the current situation very good? We don't stand on either side, but we stand on both sides."
"What do you mean by this?"
Yang Su stretched out his hand and moved his chess piece: "Your Majesty, if we keep watching the fire from the other side, it will not do us any harm, but in the long run, we will have no existence, so we must move and move forward no matter what.
