Even Xiao Shilian, who was a general, was like this.
"Then what should we do now?" Xiao Shilian asked in a deep voice.
This small-scale bloody conflict between the scouts from both sides was indeed beyond Xiao Shilian's expectation, so he himself couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"General Qi, since our scouts have been dispatched in large numbers, but up to this time we have not found that the enemies in Tongguan have any intention of going out, it means that this matter is not necessarily what Yuchi Jiong actively wanted to do."
Huang Qi, the governor of Huayin who remained silent, spoke.
As Li Xinchen's first secretary-supervisor, he was sent to Huayin for training after Li Xinchen entered Guanzhong, and now he has become the prefect of Huayin.
"Perhaps it was because Yuchi Jong wanted to test our strength, or maybe it was because the general of the enemy's scout team was grumpy, so such a small-scale conflict just occurred. Since Yuchi Jong did not send anyone out to fight again later,
We are facing each other head-on, which means that he does not want to expand the conflict in the short term." Huang Qi then said, "In this case, we just need to be more vigilant, there is no need to break the court's plan and start a war now."
"That's a good statement." Xiao Shilian nodded slightly.
This was indeed an angle that he had never thought of before.
At least now there is no sign of Yuchi Jong's army marching out, which means that the other party or himself has not made up his mind about this matter, or he hopes that the big thing can be reduced to a small matter, and the small matter will be reduced to nothing.
"Having said that, the opposite party initiated this matter first, so we can't just press it down, otherwise we won't be able to give an explanation to the soldiers." Xiao Shilian changed the subject, "At least now we are in nominal terms with the Zhou people.
There is still a peace treaty, so we might as well send someone to ask Yuchi Jiong what he wants to do, it is better than trying to figure it out on our own here."
After a pause, Xiao Shilian looked around: "In addition, we must also be prepared for the possibility of a battle breaking out at any time. All ministries must be on alert. The whole city of Huayin is under martial law. At the same time, the neighboring ministries will be notified of the situation here as soon as possible. A certain person will write a memorial immediately.
, 800-mile rush to Jiankang!”
"No!" the generals shouted in unison.
"It's interesting that Yu Chijiong said there was a misunderstanding."
In the imperial study room of the Jiankang Palace, Li Xingchen asked Yuan Dashe to pass the memorial to the courtiers below, and said with great interest.
In less than ten days, Xiao Shilian's memorial was delivered to Li Xingchen's desk via a 800-mile express, and the next day, Xiao Shilian's memorial regarding Yu Chijiong's reply was also delivered.
This shows that Yuchi Jong gave an accurate answer within at least ten to twelve hours.
This reply was also a bit perfunctory, just calling it a "misunderstanding", and saying that he had no intention of becoming an enemy of the Han Dynasty, and had whipped the cavalry officer who led the team in accordance with military law, and begged the Han man for his understanding.
But no matter what, at least it seems now that although the two sides are at war with each other, the news has spread all over the country, the Han army on the front is on full alert, the Jingxiang Han army in the rear has begun to move north one after another, and the navy and navy have also arrived.
At the front line dock, at the same time, the Northern Zhou army on the opposite side, whether it received the news from Yuchi Jiong or saw the reaction of the Han army, was also on alert. However, it was obvious that they had received orders and could not attack without authorization until the situation was clear from above.
So this time it seems that the war will not break out directly.
At least it can be explained that the Northern Zhou Dynasty was either just testing the situation, or they also did not understand the situation, but no matter what, they were not ready for war, otherwise the front would have been full of war by this time.
"What do the people of Zhou want to do when they are like this?" Yang Su couldn't help but frown.
"Perhaps our army is increasingly interested in the Northern Expedition, so we want to test it?" Pei Zilie said helplessly, "But if it directly draws fire on him, it seems to be of no benefit to him?"
What depresses the Han Dynasty court and the military the most is this matter. You say whether Yuchi Jiongyu Wenxian takes the lead or not? It’s hard to say whether we will do anything or not do it at all, or we will do it all. You are teasing me a few times.
What does it mean to give in later?
The armies of both sides entered the offensive position aggressively, but now it's better. Are they planning to let things go?
"Where is Liu Xiuzheng?" Li Xingchen asked directly.
This kind of matter is likely to involve the Northern Zhou Dynasty's private affairs. It is useless for my family to speculate here. Since Xu Shanxin who stayed in Yecheng has not received any news, we can only wait and see what Liu Xiuzheng has to say first.
.
To be honest, Li Xingchen vaguely figured out something, but he didn't know if his guess was correct. He suspected that this was a test of Yu Wenxian's attitude towards the big man.
If the Han Dynasty shows a very tough attitude this time, then Yu Wenxian can take this opportunity to seize the opportunity to intimidate the internal officials and generals and force them to unite more closely with him. You see, the Han people are planning to put us to death at any time. If it really happens
If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, none of us can escape, so we must hurry up and get close to me.
On the other hand, if the big man also wants to settle matters this time, he will naturally give Yu Wenxian a handle. Yu Wenxian can clearly express that he still has the ability to make the big man retreat. In this way, Yu Wenxian does not need to say anything.
, those aristocratic families in the north who originally served as a yin and yang had to weigh in their minds first, which one was more important than the big Han in the south and Yu Wenxian who was close at hand.
In contrast, what Yu Wenxian needs to do most is of course to prevent the war from actually breaking out, otherwise he, who should not have been prepared at that time, will lose miserably. This can also explain why Yu Wenxian surrendered to the big man so quickly.
An explanation.
Regardless of whether this explanation is reasonable or not, it is at least enough to show the big man that we are not planning to break up with each other directly, and there is still room for negotiation in everything.
As long as war can be avoided, no matter whether the big man opens his mouth like a lion or lets Yu Wenxian off temporarily, Yu Wenxian can actually get some benefits from it.
And what are these benefits for?
Li Xingchen sneered in his heart.
There was no emperor in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, only one King of Qi was left.
His Royal Highness the King of Qi also began to have some careful thoughts in the current precarious situation.
The Nine-Five Master and the Prince are not the same thing.
Historically, Sima Rui, the king of Langya in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was very respectful when the emperor Sima Ye was still there. When Sima Ye fell to Hu Chen, he immediately ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. There was nothing to be taboo about. The Eastern Jin Dynasty at that time was different from the Northern Zhou Dynasty now.
similar.
Even though Yu Wenxian himself had great respect for his brother Yu Wenyong, Yu Wenyong had passed away after all, and his nephew Yuwen had also become a prisoner of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, as the actual controller of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he, the King of Qi, does not need to always regard himself as the king.
