Gao Mai didn't feel that he had much credit, he just smiled and said:
"Brother Zhong Le (cousin of Yu Wenxin), if you want to thank me, just thank General Chunyu of Hanzhong. The treasury in Tianshui has been dug clean long ago. I couldn't find so many things even after digging three feet into the ground. Brother Zhong Le, too
It’s clear. Anyway, there are only a few things in total, and some of them were transferred when passing through Jincheng, so I can make up for it and make do with it.”
Gao Mai spoke neither humble nor arrogantly, but as a prefect, he and Yu Wenxin, the founding prince of the Han Dynasty and an important general of the Han Dynasty, called themselves brothers, which actually went against the etiquette and law.
Yu Wenxin nodded, not intending to argue with him.
If they really wanted to argue, how could the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Gao clan of the Northern Qi Dynasty still be able to argue with each other?
Therefore, Yu Wenxin's eyes fell directly on what Gao Mai brought.
You don’t need to think about it to know that these things must have been temporarily transferred from Hanzhong through Qishan Road. The muskets and the like are all old styles, and there are even a few of the earliest ones. The bayonet cannot be used to fire. But Hanzhong
Focusing on defense does not necessarily mean that one is rich in armaments. Chun Yuliang is willing to take out these things, which is considered very kind.
In addition, Sun Sheng, the head of Jincheng, also faced the oppression of the Qiang people. It was already very difficult for him to be able to squeeze out a little bit from his teeth and send it over.
only······
Sending charcoal in times of need is a timely matter. Now Yu Wenxin still has to face a very serious problem. These charcoals can only be burned for two more days. What happens after that?
Yu Wenxin led Gao Mai to the gate of Wuwei City, where he could overlook the entire battle situation.
Previously on the ground, all Gao Mai could see was the walls of the Great Wall occupied by Tuyuhun not far away, so he knew that the enemy was close at hand. When he climbed up to the city gate and saw the dark military formations and camps outside the Great Wall, he was stunned.
He opened his mouth wide for a long time and then said:
"Brother Zhong Le leads a lone army to guard this place. He is truly the pillar of the Han Dynasty."
Yu Wenxin smiled helplessly: "Thanks to Your Majesty for not giving up and entrusting you with the important task, how can I live up to it? I have been stationed in Wuwei for so many years, and Yu Jin can't attack the city and retreat, and can't defend the territory, so that the enemy troops are approaching the city. This is already a shame.
Your Majesty, brother, please stop mocking someone."
Gao Mai quickly waved his hand and looked at Yu Wenxin solemnly: "Zhong Le, I am speaking from the bottom of my heart."
Without waiting for Yu Wenxin to speak, Gao Mai continued: "In the beginning, the fight between you and me, the Gao family and the Yuwen family, was just a fight between the same brothers. Now Murong Tuyuhun has secluded himself from the Central Plains, and wants to imitate the Turks and plunder the northwest and even the north.
To divide half of the world, you and I should put aside our grudges and fight side by side, at least to be worthy of our true nature."
Yu Wenxin was filled with emotions and didn't know what to say.
Yes, Tuyuhun outside, tracing back to his origin, is also from Xianbei, and he is the Murong family who rose earlier among the Xianbei people. When the Murong family dominated the north, there was nothing wrong with the Tuoba family, let alone the Yuwen family and the Gao family.
.
It is a pity that the Tuoba family led the Xianbei people to accept Hanization, and gradually transformed their loyalty and sense of belonging to their own nation into their sense of loyalty and belonging to their own country and dynasty, making both Han and Xianbei people aware that there is a country and a nation.
Today, both the Han people and the Xianbei people are already the subjects of the Han, united under the red dragon flag of the Han, recuperating and enjoying peace. However, the Murong family has long forgotten their identity as a Xianbei, and calls themselves a Tuyuhun people.
And because the tribes in the northwest are attacking the Han Dynasty, in order to safeguard the tranquility of the Central Plains and to protect the tranquility of their own nation, Yu Wenxin and Gao Mai have enough reasons to stand here and fight.
They do not believe that the Tuyuhun royal family, which has long forgotten its ancestors, can treat the Xianbei people well, but the Han Dynasty is down-to-earth and does not do anything to the Xianbei people. It even advocates exchanges and intermarriage between various ethnic groups, so which side should they stand on and why?
War, they knew it very well.
They are all veterans on the battlefield, and they are all people who have experienced the subversion of the country. They have walked on the edge of life and death countless times in this life, and they are even considered people who have died once. Their lives are no longer their own, so naturally they should be dedicated to safeguarding this side.
In the battle for peace between heaven and earth.
This is the reason why Yu Wenxin stood in Wuwei City and refused to retreat, and this is also the reason why Gao Mai generously came to support him.
"I found that you Gao family are not that annoying." Yu Wenxin suddenly laughed.
They have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and the two people were even face-to-face enemies.
It is naturally not easy to be able to put aside past grudges and even blood debts at this time and strive for a nobler and more worthy goal.
Gao Mai also smiled: "Who wouldn't say it?"
"Is there no movement from the imperial court?" Yu Wenxin asked.
Reinforcements from the imperial court were what he really expected.
Gao Mai said directly: "Zhong Le may not know that he is on the front line. All the troops of the imperial court have been mobilized to Anding and will arrive in Wuwei within half a month. The imperial court has sent the Duke of Jin and the general of chariots and cavalry to Anding to coordinate the various forces.
Soldiers and horses on the road."
Yu Wenxin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Zilie is in charge and a large army has gathered. It seems that His Majesty has not forgotten these people who are fighting alone in the northwest.
That's good.
"What about the Qiang people? Didn't you see any Qiang people along the way?" Yu Wenxin thought of something and then asked curiously.
"No Qiang people showed up along the way." Gao Mai shook his head, "Brother Zhong Le probably doesn't know yet. His Majesty personally came to invite Captain Xiao to come out of the mountain and go to Hanzhong to take over the old general Chunyu. He will take charge of the troops of Bashu and Hanzhong.
Wudu attacks to the northwest to contain the Qiang people. If the Qiang people get the news or see our army in Hanzhong, they will retreat obediently."
A big stone finally fell from Yu Wenxin's heart.
The situation is gradually improving, and the final victory actually depends on him.
If he could block and contain Tuyuhun's main force, then the various units of the Han army could calmly outflank and attack. But if he did not persist until reinforcements arrived, the Han army might be completely passive.
Stomping her feet, Yu Wenxin had made up her mind.
Even if we fight to the last man, we must defend this city!
"Someone is coming!"
"Here!" The guard next to him hurriedly stepped forward.
Yu Wenxin said with emotion: "Instruct all the ministries that the overwhelming troops of the Han Dynasty will arrive in the near future. I hope all the ministries will fight in a bloody battle to stop the enemy and buy time to completely annihilate the main force of Tuyuhun! Even if we fight to the last person, we must live and die with the city!
As long as Yu Wenxin is still here, he will never take a step back!"
"No!" the guard loudly agreed.
Yu Wenxin then looked at Gao Mai: "Jingde, you still have time to leave."
Gao Mai immediately laughed: "I ran away as soon as I came. How should the world think of me, Gao Jingde? If nothing else, it's important to give me something to eat quickly. If there are no guests arriving, let them see this disgusting scenery first."
The truth of things?”
Yu Wenxin also laughed loudly: "It's because someone has been careless, Jingde Haihan. Please!"
The two of them talked and laughed and walked towards the city.
The happy and relaxed expressions of the coaches naturally affected all departments.
The rise and fall of martial prowess actually boosted morale.
