Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

"The sea and the land are sinking together, and the road is like an ember. Although it did not start at this time, it is still a catastrophe that all wise and courageous people in this area cannot bear to look at!"

In the spacious hall, a tall middle-aged man with a tall nose and deep eyes was lying on his side on a wooden couch. It was Yu Wentai of Daxingtai of the Western Dynasty.

Yu Wentai's expression was a little gloomy at first, but when he heard the scribe reciting this point, his expression became gentler and he said: "Although the article is not well-known, his reasoning is quite smooth. If Huibao stops at criticizing, that is I misjudged him."

"Uncle said this, please forgive me for not agreeing with it! In the preface of this book, which word is not true? Zhao Gui is not worthy of his position. He has caused the army to fail. His evildoing will not only destroy the tens of thousands of soldiers in Hengshi Mangshan?"

A young man in his thirties was sitting on his knees in the hall. After hearing these words, he couldn't help but said, his eyes quickly turned red: "It's pitiful that I, Amodun, am still living in the realm of thieves. I don't know whether I will live or die, my honor or disgrace." . I thought that after entering Hulao, I might be able to receive support and enjoy happiness, but this opportunity was ruined by this local scum!"

The young man's name is Yu Wenhu, the son of Yu Wentai's elder brother Yu Wenhao. He originally participated in the war as a general of Zhao Gui of the Zuo Army. After the Zuo Army retreated, he stayed at Tongguan to gather the defeated soldiers. Now he has returned to Huazhou to report news.

Yuwen's family also had many relatives living in the Eastern Dynasty, including Yuwenhu's mother.

Therefore, when Yu Wenhu heard Shuo Hui's accusation against Zhao Gui in the first half of the memorial, he was deeply affected and his disgust for Zhao Gui deepened: "In this battle, the officers and soldiers of the center and right arm sacrificed their lives, but the left army cowered because of the general. The disciples lost their courage. I am in the formation and have the eyes to see. If it weren’t for the left army..."

"Shut up! In this battle, many of your senior officers are more intelligent than you, and they are more saddened by the failure than you!"

Facing his nephew, Yu Wentai no longer concealed his emotions. When talking about the previous defeat at Mangshan, his expression also showed anger and sadness.

But seeing Yu Wenhu's face full of tears, he just sighed, stopped scolding, raised his hand and said: "Continue to recite."

"Now that the dynasty has been established, Daxingtai must be supported by heavy weapons, governed by benevolence, the people who have lost their homes must be unified by righteousness, the elders of Guanxi must be treated with courtesy, and those who are attached to the new and old can be treated with trust. The greatness of the Tao, There is nothing to cover, and there is no special category for those who use it, no matter whether it is high or low, it will be big if it is used big, and it will be narrow if it is used narrow, only the big line can be used to cut it!"

Hearing this, Yuwen Tai's eyes flashed, and he called off the scribes again. He sat up straight on the wooden couch, looked down at Yu Wenhu and said solemnly: "Such knowledge is no longer within the scope of Huibao, nor is it his subordinates. Can the officials tell me who is writing for him?"

Yu Wenhu was still immersed in the grief of separation. After hearing this, he only said: "I heard that he was a fugitive from Dongzhou who was arrested in front of the pass. He was a member of Gao Zhongmi's subordinates. Because Gao Zhongmi was captured by Zhao Please arrest me and join the leader's tent to ask for advice."

"The concentration of talented people in Dongzhou is indeed greater than that of Kansai!"

After hearing this, Yu Wentai sighed, with a hint of envy in his words and demeanor, and then motioned to the scribe to continue reading.

"In ancient times, all the great governance techniques were to set up armor in the countryside, hide wealth among the people, coordinate with the Tao, lead with the law, use both grace and power, and have no disadvantages! The one who destroyed Qin was not Chu. The deer perished in the country, but those who have gained the Tao will support them. Good geographical location improves morale. Although stubborn thieves are fierce, there is no need to worry about it. It is better to disperse morale than to block it, and it is better to draw them away than to draw them together. Then the road will be prosperous..."

When Yu Wentai heard this, his expression became a little unnatural again. His eyes wandered around the people in the hall, feeling a little embarrassed that someone could see through his mind. After a while, he sneered and said, "I thought it was a little bit... It turns out that the true wisdom is just nonsense!"

"Yes, armored soldiers are the foundation of the dynasty and a powerful weapon to defeat the enemy. If armored troops are placed in the countryside, they will definitely be aggressive and aggressive, and the wealth will be left to the people. The world will inevitably be cunning and perverse. Although Chu has three households, the fall of Qin must be Chu. Isn't this the conclusion in ancient books? The false theory of attaining the right and losing the right can be questioned and overthrown!”

After hearing the words, Yu Wenhu nodded repeatedly. Whether he is Taoist or not is not a concrete discussion at all. The most fundamental reason for those who are unruly and proud in the world he has seen is that they are strong and strong.

"You also know that if Qin is defeated, Chu must be defeated? Then tell me, why did Chu destroy Qin?"

Although Yu Wentai did not know how to read at a young age, as his authority grew, he paid more and more attention to the academic study of classics and meanings. He did not want his subordinates to be all brave warriors who did not know how to read. He often talked about the principles of classics and history to his nephews.

Yu Wenhu was a little embarrassed when he heard this question. He lowered his head in silence for a moment and then said: "I know the matter but don't know the reason. King Xiang was brave, so he destroyed Qin, and Duke Pei and Duke Pei were wise, so they created Han?"

"Bravery can make achievements, and wisdom can build careers. This understanding is correct. But the fall of Chu to Qin was due to the resentment of the Chu people. They were angry and ambitious, so they were not afraid of power and took the lead in attacking."

When Yu Wentai said this, his expression turned to reminiscing: "The same principle applies to the Beizhen mutiny back then. We, the children of Beizhen, may not be brave enough to be the best in the world, but we can only find it difficult to calm down within a small area, so we want to ask why the world treats me so poorly. ?

When morale is congested, it will inevitably overflow. These old thoughts and aspirations are practiced by fathers and brothers with flesh and blood, and they are respected by me and others. Children and grandchildren should not forget easily. Although this argument is rash and false, it is better than your knowledge! "

"I, I'm just not familiar with Han'er's classics and verses. I may not be as knowledgeable as what my uncle said..."

When Yu Wenhu heard this, he was a little unconvinced. He lost his father when he was young, and followed his uncle to various places and experienced wars and separations. Although he was an uncle and nephew, his relationship was not inferior to that of father and son. At this time, he heard his uncle comment that he was not as good as a plain man. Jiangren from Dongzhou, whom he had never met before, was ashamed and annoyed, but also a bit disappointed.

"It's always good to be ambitious."

Yu Wentai smiled, raised his hand to take the memorial letter sent by Shuo Hui, then bent down at the desk to read it carefully, and asked: "How many people have this letter been in, and how many people have read it?"

"I was sent by the leader of the army and went straight back to Huazhou to present him to the court."

Yu Wenhu quickly said that feelings are feelings, and he did not dare to be careless when it came to military and official matters.

"You should step back and rest first."

Yuwentai sent his nephew out of the hall, then raised his head and asked the soldiers: "Has Zhao Qiao entered the house?"

"The envoy of the Hussars is reporting that the horse was frightened and fell down on the way back, and its muscles and bones were injured. Please return to the mansion after recovering from the injury to pay homage."

Hearing the soldier's words, a trace of gloom flashed in Yuwentai's eyes, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "The visitor from Xingtai brought the medical officer's medicine and stones to the town to express condolences. Su Shangshu went with him and gave me the command to ask Zhao Qiusi released Gao Situ, and one of his subordinates named Li Xiao was appointed to serve in the mansion. "

When the soldiers went out to deliver the order, Yu Wentai picked up the memorial letter and read it carefully, and asked the scribe to copy several copies. He himself took up the pen and blacked out all the chapters and sentences involving Zhao Gui in the copy. .

After doing this, Yu Wentai ordered that several copies that he had rubbed out be distributed to several civil and military ministers in the court. As for the original copy that had not been stained, he thought for a while and then sent it to Taishi Heba. Victory.

"It's interesting to take advantage of the geographical advantage and boost morale...He Liuhun relies on a hero, but his path to the virtuous is blocked because of this, and there are gains and losses."

After giving these instructions, Yuwentai shook his head and sighed, and then he buried his head in the papers full of documents. After Mangshan failed in this battle, he had too many things to deal with and clean up the mess, and he really had no time to focus on one thing.

In the city of Tongguan, Shuo Hui summoned Li Tai two days later and said, "The Kwantung bandit army has indeed retreated, and Daxingtai has sent his generals to guard the pass. I also want to lead my troops back, so Li Lang will go with me." ”

Li Tai was relieved to hear that the subsequent military actions of the Eastern Wei Dynasty did not violate historical records.

His previous thoughts were a bit rash and he underestimated the vigilance of the ancients. He also planned to find an opportunity to jump back and survive if Gao Huan's army attacked, but in fact there was no chance at all.

Although he helped Shuohui scold Zhao Gui and found their emotional compatibility, Shuohui did not fully trust him. It was called preferential treatment, but in fact he was placed under house arrest in Guancheng, and even his former family members They are not allowed to meet each other.

Fortunately, the Eastern Wei Dynasty still withdrew its troops, and the surrender of Gao Zhongmi, a subordinate of Gao Zhongmi, was not worthy of Wang Sizheng's exclusive description of whether to jointly defend the city. His previous boast of jointly defending Hengnong was not exposed.

Even if he was exposed, it didn't matter. The Western Wei Dynasty was defeated in this battle, and the soldiers were worried. Everyone wanted to find an opportunity to take the blame lightly. When Guan Qian misunderstood that he was a spy of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he expanded the arrest, injuring many innocent people.

It is understandable that he exaggerated his deeds when he surrendered in a precarious situation, and it was not a big principled mistake to lie about the military situation.

"I would like to ask General, after the letter is submitted, can Daxingtai respond to the letter? If the meaning of the letter is still not fulfilled, Boshan is bold enough to make a statement in person."

The small crisis here has been resolved, but Li Tai is also very curious about the repercussions of his letter. After all, it is about rescuing Gao Zhongmi and his father Li Xiao, and whether he can live a life in Guanzhong. A starting point.

When this topic was brought up, Shuhui's face became a little unnatural, and he only said to Li Tai: "Da Xingtai is in charge of military affairs, and there are many things that need to be sorted out after the war, so I have no time to reply."

When Li Tai heard this, his heart sank. It seemed that it would be difficult to defeat Zhao Gui with that letter. Yu Wentai must have made up his mind to protect General Yuancong at this sensitive moment.

Seeing Li Tai's expression was different, Shui Hui seemed to feel a little embarrassed. He stood up and patted his shoulder, and said seriously: "Li Lang, there is no need to worry about this. You are speaking out for me. I will protect you in both situations and situations." comprehensive."

"Boshan, thank you, General, for protecting me! I'm just worried that Gao Shijun is related to me..."

Shuo Hui's attitude towards him was not disposable, which also made Li Tai feel good about this relatively upright Hu general. Seeing that Shuo Hui was still busy dealing with the withdrawal, he resigned first.

This time, Shuhui's personal soldiers did not lead him to the residence where Zhiqian was placed under house arrest, but instead took him to the camp on the west side of Guancheng.

"Alang!"

Seeing Li Tai again, Li Zhusheng and other family members came to greet him one after another, with joy of surviving the disaster on their faces.

"It's okay!"

Seeing these family members who were still loyal to him in times of crisis, Li Tai felt much more at ease. However, in addition to these dozen family members, there were more than a dozen unfamiliar Hu Han faces, and they all called themselves masters. , Li Tai was a little surprised.

"I'll talk to Alang in detail later."

Seeing Li Tai's doubtful expression, the middle-aged man Li Zhusheng stepped forward and raised his hand to shake his wrist firmly.
