During the previous attack on the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yu Wenxian, as the commander-in-chief of the former army, led the army to break through several defense lines of the Northern Qi Dynasty one after another, and conquered Yecheng in one fell swoop, making great achievements and ranking first in the merit book.
According to the "Northern History", at this time, Yu Wenxian "was the land of Duke Zhou and held the most important position as a general. The survival of the enemy country depended on it, and the fate of the tripod depended on it."
However, although Yu Wenxian was only in his early thirties, he was a man who could afford to take things up and let go. After the battle, he directly asked Yu Wenyong to be dismissed and returned to his field. Yu Wenyong was very helpless for such a general to leave, and even said, "
If you are still afraid of an expedition, then I will have no generals to use!" Such words.
Regardless of whether Yu Wenyong was really worried about his younger brother's success in the future, at least it can be seen from this sentence that he still had a lot of intention to retain Yu Wenxian, but Yu Wenxian was unmoved and insisted on leaving.
.
In desperation, Yu Wenyong could only let him leave the court. Of course, neither Yu Wenyong nor Yu Wenxian expected that in another time and space, Yu Wenyun, who had a suspicious personality after ascending the throne, would treat his uncle who had devoted himself to being a lazy prince.
Still worried, he actually found an obscure reason to trick Yu Wenxian into the palace and strangled him to death.
Of course, none of this has happened yet.
For the Northern Zhou Dynasty, this time the northward march could be said to involve the whole country, and even the elites on the Jingxiang front line were mobilized. It was of great importance, especially the stability of the rear areas of the Central Plains and Guanzhong. Yuwen Yong knew that if Yu Wenxian was allowed to
In order to avoid being criticized by villains, he was definitely not willing to stay in Chang'an, so he simply handed over the important task of staying in Luoyang to Yu Wenxian.
Luoyang is an important town for transporting military rations from Chang'an to Hebei, Shanxi and other places. Yu Wenyong was not at ease if it was left to someone else. And Yu Wenxian also knew that this matter was of great importance. The emperor was worried about the employment of people.
So he didn't refuse and helped sit in Luoyang.
Fortunately, Yu Wenyong, who once set out from Luoyang in high spirits, was already dying when he appeared in front of him again. Even Yu Wenxian, who had always been well-educated and steady, couldn't help but get furious.
What are these guys doing!
"Pu Liuru, since you are here too, please explain!" Yu Wenxian raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged general known as "Pu Liuru" frowned, obviously slightly resistant to Yu Wenxian's scolding, but he quickly lowered his head and said in a deep voice:
"His Majesty has been ill since he crossed the river, and had no choice but to postpone the march. However, His Majesty's condition has become increasingly serious, and it was not until a few days ago that he finally got better. Therefore, the imperial doctor suggested taking this opportunity to escort His Majesty to Luoyang.
Because the army retreated slowly, we left the deputy general to lead the team and led a group of cavalry to escort His Majesty's carriage in order to reach Luoyang as quickly as possible. Who would have thought that just after crossing the river, His Majesty's condition became serious again and he suddenly became cold.
Sudden fever and confusion, the general and others were so frightened that they could only travel day and night. Until today, and His Majesty is now nearly comatose. The imperial doctors accompanying the army are at a loss. They can only place their hope in the imperial doctors who stayed in the palace and came from Chang'an.
.”
Yu Wenxian frowned and glanced at the other civil and military officials. These officials who had followed Yu Wenyong all the way lowered their heads. In any case, His Majesty's condition worsened step by step under their noses.
Yes, now even if King Qi gets angry and wants to punish him, they can only accept it obediently.
However, Yu Wenxian did not say much. Not to mention that the Pu Liuru standing in front of him was a real relative of His Majesty and a high-ranking military commander in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The embarrassed officials in front of him were also from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The mainstay, without them there would be no way to support the current dark sky in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Although Yu Wenxian's sudden illness made Yu Wenxian very angry, or rather worried and uneasy, he understood better that such meaningless criticism and scolding would bring nothing, and no matter how long Yu Wenyong could sustain it now
, the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty had to prepare to face the worst situation. Without these officials in front of them, the Northern Zhou Dynasty would collapse in the turmoil.
"Where is the army now?" Yu Wenxian said in a deep voice. The army is the foundation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, not to mention the army going north is the main force of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and cannot be lost. Now Yu Wen Yong's life or death is uncertain. As Yu Wen Yong's most relied on before
My younger brother and minister, Yu Wenxian must shoulder this responsibility.
"The army has arrived in Puzhou. Some of them will stay to prevent the Turks from attacking. The other main force will cross the river within these two days, crossing the river at Mengjin and Baima ferries, and return to their original places." Pu Liuru.
He said hurriedly, "In addition, the remaining guards who followed His Majesty northward will arrive in Luoyang as soon as possible to protect His Majesty's safety."
Yu Wenxian nodded slightly. Although this Pu Liuru always gave people a scheming feeling, he had to say that he was still capable of coordinating the army. Yu Wenyong could take a fancy to him and marry him.
It was a good choice, at least it turned such a good general into a relative of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was firmly tied to the chariot of the Northern Zhou royal family.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake!" At this moment, a eunuch came out in surprise and said out of breath, "Your Majesty summons His Highness King Qi!"
The surrounding ministers were startled, and then subconsciously wanted to step forward. But Yu Wenxian waved his hand to block them, and several guards immediately stepped forward to block the way of these civil and military officials. Yu Wenxian turned around and said in a deep voice:
"Dear ministers, since Your Majesty is just summoning me, I would like to ask you to wait outside for a while. I can understand your concerns about Your Majesty, but it is inappropriate to swarm in with such a noisy response. I will go first.
Ask His Majesty for his opinion."
"This..." The hands of several veterans with gray beards suddenly trembled. They were obviously a little angry at Yu Wenxian's actions, but His Majesty's decree was indeed said, and they could not refute it.
"We will be waiting for the good news from King Qi, and I also ask King Qi to go quickly." Pu Liuru, who had been standing at the front and seemed to be the head of the ministers, cupped his hand and said in a deep voice.
Yu Wenxian looked at him deeply, but Pu Liuru did not look at him, but lowered his head more respectfully. With a secret sigh in his heart, Yu Wenxian walked straight to the side hall.
After Yu Wenxian left, Pu Liuru slowly raised his head and looked at the back. In his eyes, all the previous humility had disappeared. What was left was only sharpness, even with traces of it.
murderous intent.
"Mr. Yang..." Zheng Yi, the internal history official who had been standing behind Pu Liuru and dared not speak out, raised his head at this time and whispered with some worry, "This King Qi
Although His Highness has retired, his momentum remains the same as before."
Pu Liuru looked at the side hall with the door closed again, his eyes were deep and he said nothing.
