Therefore, there seems to be no better choice left for Yu Yi. At least defecting to Li Xingchen's side is considered a consensus among Yu Yi's army.
There was a strange silence in the camp for a while.
Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan looked at each other, and Cao Zhong slowly said: "Old General, regarding the departure or stay of your army, according to our previous agreement, we will not interfere. But please rest assured, Old General, the imperial court is currently negotiating with your country.
The envoys sent to negotiate, His Majesty's attitude is still very clear, requiring your country to ensure the safety of the old general and the families of all the soldiers and soldiers under the general's command. Under the current circumstances, unless Yang Jian really intends to break up, he will not violate the agreement.
of."
Yu Yi didn't speak, but Yu Xi beside him couldn't help but show a happy expression.
This is actually what they are most worried about. Although in this era, due to the huge background of each family, few people can really uproot a family or threaten someone else's family members.
When Yang Min, the prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was killed, the Northern Qi court also wanted to exterminate the entire Yang family. As a result, the court unanimously opposed it, and had no choice but to limit the punishment to Yang Min's immediate family members, and then gave the Hongnong Yang family
A chance to save people and make a comeback later.
In the same way, although the Yang family, Li family, etc. have all turned to Li Xingchen, Yang Jian did not dare to do anything to them after all. These families have long been intricately intertwined with various aristocratic families in the north. No matter who is liquidated, they will
Involving all the other families is tantamount to destroying the foundation.
Even when Li Xun, one of the Li clan in Longxi, surrendered to Li Xinchen, Yang Jian did not do anything to the Li clan headed by Li Mu. With Li Mu's status, once suppressed, half of the army would probably rebel.
But facts are facts, and it is impossible not to worry at all. In the end, family members belong to themselves, and no one wants to let their family members take such risks. And now that Li Xingchen has directly added this to the negotiation conditions, he obviously has to pay for it.
There are certain concessions and costs.
This is what moved Yu Xi.
And Yu Yi could only sigh secretly in his heart. Li Xingchen directly took this out as a condition for negotiation. He clearly did not intend to leave any room for him to choose, even if he really returned to the Northern Zhou Dynasty to work as a farmer.
Weng, I'm afraid Yang Jian will be worried and send people to keep an eye on him every day.
Immediately, Yu Yi solemnly raised his hands toward the south: "I am Yu Yi, and I am willing to do my best for His Majesty the Han Dynasty!"
Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps for the Han Dynasty, the biggest gain from this battle was not the defeat of the Turks, but the victory of Yu Yi, his father and his son, and their troops. The Yu family in Lantian fell to the Han Dynasty, representing the Zhuguo State that originally supported the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The system has begun to shake, and the addition of Yu Yi, a veteran, is obviously more important than young people like Yang Su and Li Yuan.
After all, alongside talent, identity and reputation are also very important.
————————————
Thousands of miles to the northwest, in the Central Plains, Luoyang.
Walking into Yuchi Jiong's mansion again, Xu Shanxin looked confident.
He stretched out his hand to flick the dust on his sleeves and strode into the meeting hall.
Compared with the last time, the smiles on Yuchi Jiong and Li Hui's faces looked much more sincere.
In fact, Xu Shanxin had been sitting on the bench with Yuchi Jiong for a long time. Yuchi Jiong obviously did not intend to have too much contact with the envoy from the south before Yu Wenxian returned to Yecheng and gave him clear instructions.
After all, the relationship between Yuchi Jiong and the South is somewhat sensitive, so it is understandable that he should give the South's envoy a cold shoulder.
But today is different. The news of the great victory of the Han Dynasty in the northwest and Yu Wenxian's order were behind it. No one, whether Yuchi Jiong or Li Hui, expected that this time the Northern Expedition between the two sides in the Northern Zhou Dynasty would lead to a fierce battle between the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
A fierce battle was really won.
The battle report of the great victory in the northwest was reported to the world. The Han court claimed that 50,000 Turkic troops were wiped out, and more than 100,000 Han slaves were rescued. In addition, there were countless grain, livestock, and captured prisoners. No matter what time it is, reporting military information must be somewhat watery, but it can be said that such a
The big figures show that the big man actually gained a lot of benefits.
What's more important is that the Northern Zhou general Yi Yi led his troops to surrender to Li Xinchen. Although their more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are just rootless, it is reasonable to belong to Li Xinchen. The two sides have cooperated in the northwest for so long, and Yang Jian is not willing to do so at all.
Maybe you can trust these people again.
This is why Yuchi Jiong is now trying his best to cut off the relationship with Li Xinchen.
But Yu Wenxian obviously couldn't wait any longer. Li Xingchen achieved great victory in the northwest, which greatly increased the reputation of the Han Dynasty. This young dynasty rising in the south was no longer the image of the southern barbarians and island barbarians that people in the north had imagined over the years. They had risen.
They defeated the Turks who had suppressed the two northern dynasties for many years. They proved themselves and gave Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian a new understanding of this newly rising enemy.
If the support of the Han Dynasty cannot be obtained as soon as possible and the Han Dynasty supports Yang Jian, it will be tantamount to a disaster for Yu Wenxian.
Before they arrived at Yecheng, Yu Wenxian told Yuchi Jiong to hurry up and finalize the terms of negotiation on military cooperation with the Han Dynasty. Therefore, even if Yuchi Jiong was unwilling, he must greet him with a smile.
Similarly, Xu Shanxin, standing opposite him, never thought that he would have the opportunity to be so prosperous. In fact, he just walked into the General's Mansion, which was usually closed, and met Captain Chi Jiong's gaze alone, but
He felt as if there were thousands of troops standing behind him, the wind and snow stirring the northwest, holding high the red dragon flag of the Han Dynasty.
Different from the bluff when he entered Luoyang City before, Xu Shanxin was confident this time. Even in his long life as an envoy, he had never felt so confident as he did today, stepping on the enemy's land.
But it seemed like I was in my own government office.
Smiling slightly, Xu Shanxin said straight to the point: "We already talked about the Guanzhong strategy last time. As time goes by, I wonder if the general still remembers it?"
The expressions of Yuchi Jiong and Li Hui were slightly frozen, and there was clear blame in these words. Yuchi Jiong immediately said with a smile: "Why don't you remember? Don't look at me. I'm old. Of course I can't forget things that should be remembered.
"
"In that case, let's continue from what we talked about last time." Xu Shanxin walked slowly to the big map, but did not speak directly, but looked at the northwest corner of the map, which was meaningful.
He glanced at Yuchi Jong and said, "General Yuchi, this map seems to be a bit out of date. The situation in the northwest has changed, and the general must also keep pace with the times." (To be continued)
