One of these two people is Yu Wenxian's second son, Yu Wenzhi, the king of Qinghe County, and the chief general of the Northern Zhou Jiaqi. He is sitting upright in armor and is a talented man, somewhat like Huang Xu'er of Wei Wu.
Previously, Yuwenzhi and his uncle Ji Wang Yuwentong guarded Hanoi together. After the fall of Hanoi, the Battle of Baigou was imminent. Yuwenzhi's armored cavalry naturally could not be absent, so Yuwentong stayed on the north bank of Qishui, while Yuwenzhi led some armored cavalry to come here.
Go to Baigou to fight with your father.
Yu Wenxian's eldest son, Yu Wengui, was young and talented, but unfortunately he died young. Therefore, although the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not appoint a crown prince, given how much Yu Wenxian valued Yu Wenzhi, the second son, he should be the crown prince. Of course, the premise is that
If the Northern Zhou Dynasty could survive this war.
The other one is Dugu Xiong, who was born in the Dugu family. His name is "Xiong", but he is not good at martial arts by nature and is an out-and-out civil servant.
The Dugu family has always been close to Yang Jian because of their marriage, and many of them are now officials in the Han Dynasty. However, Dugu Xiong had a close relationship with Yu Wenxian when he was young. Now he is the governor of Jizhou and the chief of marching. In fact, he has taken on the sole responsibility of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The remaining civil affairs and military logistics arrangements for this land were truly Yu Wenxian's confidants.
Xu Shanxin's name for Yu Wenxian obviously aroused dissatisfaction between Yu Wenzhi and Dugu Xiong, but the two exchanged glances, but there was nothing they could do.
The helpless expressions of the two of them were naturally seen by Xu Shanxin. The Han envoy, who had been in the enemy camp for many years, just smiled slightly and seemed to have already made up his mind.
Since he has the courage to sit here, Xu Shanxin is confident.
The orthodox name of the former Northern Zhou dynasty recognized by the Han Dynasty was Yu Wen Yun, and now the whole country has surrendered. Therefore, Yu Wenxian is only the King of Qi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the official title of the Han Dynasty, and he is not recognized as the emperor. This is why the Han Dynasty has called Li Xingchen "the world".
"Lord", because another emperor doesn't count at all, there is only one emperor in the world.
Of course, the Han Dynasty could not change the fact that Yu Wenxian had proclaimed himself emperor long ago, but he could suppress the Northern Zhou Dynasty from a legal and moral perspective day by day.
Even when he met Yu Wenxian in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xu Shanxin adhered to the official title of the Han Dynasty. After all, as the envoy of the Han Dynasty, he also represented the official attitude of the Han Dynasty.
Because Xu Shanxin had been under house arrest for a long time, he had little chance to see Yu Wenxian. Naturally, Wenwu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty would not let this foul-mouthed guy out to cause trouble for himself.
However, in these years, even though Xu Shanxin was under house arrest, he continued to exert influence on the Northern Zhou Dynasty through various means and sow discord.
The interior of the court, composed of Xianbei military generals and Han family officials, was not an airtight wall to begin with. It could even be said to have air leakage from all sides. However, the Xianbei people's powerful force - it cannot be said to be powerful to be precise. It's just that they put their swords on
No matter if the knife on your neck is sharp or not, it is still a knife - forcing the Han people to unite under the banner of Yu Wenxian.
The betrayal of the Wenxi Pei family is the best proof. The once most important supporter of the Northern Zhou Dynasty suddenly became a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Even the head of the civil servants, Pei Ju Pei, had fled, and the internal situation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was already in turmoil.
, if Yu Wenxian had not directly and explicitly threatened the remaining Jizhou aristocratic families such as the Qinghe Cui family with force, these aristocratic families would have rushed to sell the Northern Zhou Dynasty to pieces.
In other words, it was not because of Xu Shanxin's extraordinary ability, but actually because the conflicts between the civil and military forces within the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the distribution of interests had already broken out. Of course, there were also conflicts between the Han and Xianbei people.
In the past, the contradiction between the Han and Xianbei people within the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not actually be called prominent. In the final analysis, it was because the strongest in the world was the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Han people, especially the Han people in the north, had to obey the orders of the Northern Zhou Dynasty if they wanted to settle down and live in peace.
Even if this dynasty is already reversing the course of history, it wants to engage in Xianbeiization.
Either obey orders, or remain a commoner and never get ahead.
But it is different now. The Han Dynasty that rose in the south was the orthodox Chinese dynasty. Guozuo was inherited step by step from Zhengshuo of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Dianwu. It was originally more able to symbolize and represent China than the Xianbei dynasty of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It turned out that the Southern Dynasty
Jiangzuo has always been favored. It is unrealistic for everyone in the north to cross the front line and defect to it - of course, the main reason is because the Southern Dynasty is too weak. If the Northern Dynasty directly attacks one day, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Today's Han Dynasty has become powerful enough to make the Northern Zhou surrender. Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty still nominally fought against the Han Dynasty through several peace treaties signed between the two sides, everyone can see that the Northern Zhou Dynasty no longer has much confidence and capital to fight against the Han Dynasty.
, what Yu Wenxian is doing now may be more appropriately described as "dying struggle".
Therefore, it is not strange for northerners to go south into the Central Plains. The massive loss of talents and the gradual distrust and suspicion between the Xianbei and the Han people are also one of the reasons why Yu Wenxian made up his mind to take action against the Jizhou family, but he himself
I knew very well that by doing this, I was actually drinking poison to quench my thirst.
At this point, even if his brother Yu Wenyong is reincarnated, or even Yu Wentai is reborn, there is probably no way to save this situation.
This is why Yu Wenxian summoned Xu Shanxin, the Han envoy who had been accompanying the army, late at night.
When Yu Wenxian came to the Baigou front line with Xu Shanxin, he was naturally afraid that this guy would collude with various forces behind the scenes and directly bring Yecheng to its knees.
The Han Dynasty had such a criminal record, especially since Yu Wenxian himself did not know how many years Han Baipao had been operating in Yecheng and how many people in Yecheng were Baipao's informants.
In order to combat Baipao, Yu Wenxian has formed a secret spy organization composed of Xianbei people in recent years. He does not even require the secret spy organization to spy on the enemy's intelligence, as long as he can prevent his intelligence from falling into the hands of the enemy.
It was enough, but even so, the secret spy organization still suffered heavy losses in the process of penetrating into the White Robe.
After so many years of experience, the opponent's vigilance and combat capabilities, as well as the contact information between upper and lower levels, loyalty, etc., were no longer able to compete with the hastily formed spy team of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
After discovering that everything he had done was in vain, and there were even cases where members of the secret spy organization were instigated by white robes to rebel, Yu Wenxian could only order the dissolution of the secret spy organization, and began to gradually remove the secrets within the Northern Zhou Dynasty, especially
All military secrets were assigned to the Xianbei people, or even directly to Yuwen's royal relatives. As for the Han generals, such as Chang Shan and Han Guo, they had to be sent away at a distance regardless of whether they were reliable or not.
