Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3552
Yu Wenshi held his wine glass and said with a smile: "Elder brother's words are the most reasonable, but it is difficult for others. This 'Luoyang Red' is transplanted here by my younger brother, and carefully adjusted by a gardening expert, so that it will fall to it in the new year. Blooming from time to time to enhance the festive weather. This is against the sky, so why ask for more?"

The peony is originally a flower in midsummer, but if you want it to bloom in severe winter and reverse its habit, how can you ask it to remain in the garden without falling through wind and rain?
Dugu Lan was silent for a while, and sighed softly: "But now someone wants to move this 'Luoyang Red' outside to face the severe cold and wind and frost, what can they do?"

Yu Wenshi and Mo Ran, he understood what Dugu Lan meant.

The power of the Guanlongmen Clan is not enough to do something against the sky, and the glory and power of the past are more like the gorgeous and beautiful color of "Luoyang Red", which has long been weathered.However, at the moment, it is necessary to move this delicate and beautiful flower outside, but it has withstood the test of wind and frost. Withering and withering is inevitable. How can there be a miracle...

This kind of words, this kind of tendency, it is said that Yu Wenshi can ignore it completely, but now the person who expresses such negative emotions is Dugu Lan, so he has to pay attention to it.

The status of the Dugu family is too special, nominally the head of Guanlong. After all, since the Northern Wei Dynasty, through the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Great Sui Dynasty, and the current Tang Dynasty, the Dugu family has always been relatives of the emperor, and they have always loved every founding monarch. Spare no effort to support, and thus gain more political resources.

It was only because there were no amazingly talented and beautiful people in the clan that the generation of Changsun Wuji suddenly emerged and became the leader of Guanlong.

If at this time the Dugu family completely withdrew from the remonstrance, and even broke with Guan Long from then on, then the blow to Guan Long's morale would be fatal, but the tendency of the Dugu family became more and more clear. After all, Guan Long raised troops at that time After entering Chang'an, the Dugu family had closed the gates of the city under its control, preventing the Guanlong army from entering the city...

Although Yuwen Shiji was extremely dissatisfied with Changsun Wuji, he didn't want the Guanlongmen Clan to fall apart at such a time. Once the remonstrance failed, all the Guanlongmen Clans would suffer backlash.The Dugu family still has some blood relationship with the Li Tang royal family, maybe there is room for it, but what is left of the Yuwen family?

I am afraid that the first one to suffer backlash is the Yuwen family...

Yuwen Shi and his thoughts changed without all kinds of metaphors, and said bluntly: "The situation may not be as dire as what my brother saw. Although the imperial city has not been captured until now, the sixth rate of the East Palace has suffered a lot. It may not be monolithic. As long as the pressure continues, it will inevitably lead to division due to various interests, and that is our opportunity."

Although Yu Wenjie didn't participate too much in this military remonstrance, and he didn't know much about Changsun Wuji's various arrangements, but based on his understanding of Changsun Wuji, how could he not nail the nails inside the East Palace?

Changsun Wuji was originally good at this kind of conspiracy, so even though there is a stalemate at the moment, Yuwen Shiji believes that Changsun Wuji must have a backup, once launched, it is enough to immediately change the situation.

Dugu Lan said: "Of course I understand the meaning of my virtuous brother. Auxiliary machines always act after planning. If they didn't hide their backs, how could they act so hastily? But don't forget that the East Palace may not be monolithic. , our Guanlong families may not be able to unite as one. Right now there is a stalemate, everyone is looking at the benefits that are about to be obtained, and they can still keep their duties, but once the situation changes, I am afraid that we will have to think about it... ..."

To put it bluntly, no matter whether it is the East Palace or Guan Long, most of them rely on interests to bind all parties together.When the benefits can be seen, it is natural to fight bravely without fear of sacrifice, because no matter how great the loss is, there is no greater gain.But when the benefits are getting farther and farther away, and there are only losses but no gains, who else is willing to charge forward and do nothing?
What's more, Changsun Wuji's reputation as a "yin man" is well known to the world. Once the situation repeats, all the losses may be passed on to the rest of the Guanlongmen family, and the Changsun family will suffer the least loss in the end...

To put it bluntly, Changsun Wuji is not a qualified leader. When the wind is going smoothly, everyone will follow him because he can maximize the benefits; He, because this person is "yin", it is difficult to gain everyone's absolute trust.

Therefore, the key issue is the "change" of the situation. It seems to be a stalemate at the moment, but in fact Guanlong has taken all the initiative. As long as it continues to consume the power of the East Palace Six Rates, it will not be difficult to capture the imperial city before the Liaodong army returns to Guanzhong.

As for why the Liaodong army is slow... Yuwen Shiji doesn't know what's going on, but he can guess a little bit. As Dugu Lan just said, no camp can be "monolithic". The same is true for the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Fang forces.

So, will there be "changes"?
If so, where is the "change"?
He looked at Dugu Lan suspiciously, knowing that since Dugu Lan said such words, it was definitely not aimless, and he must mean something else.

Dugu Lan held the pot and poured wine for the two of them, and then said softly: "There is news from Hexi that more than ten thousand cavalry composed of Hu tribes from various tribes in the Western Regions passed by Hexi and rushed to Mobei. This was confirmed by people sending back the news. Then, the Hanhai Protectorate’s Mansion sent an official document saying that Xue Yantuo’s remnant tribe wanted to rebel with the support of the Turks. Changsun Wuji didn't mention any of these to our families."

Yuwen Shiji frowned, digesting the news.

Although Xue Yantuo fell, and his remnants have been expelled to the west of Yanran Mountain, but centipede insects, dead but not stiff, the Hu tribe in Mobei in the past, with 20 people who control the strings, the background is naturally deep, it is not a battle. Kill them all.

With the support of the Turks, the remaining Xue Yantuo's remnants wanted to return to their hometown, which was reasonable.However, the Hanhai Protectorate's Mansion had to maintain the stability of the vast Mobei region, and its military strength was stretched, so it was natural to ask for help from the imperial court and the resting place at the same time.

Although the Dugu family has been a bit self-contained in recent years, they have a deep foundation after all. If the eldest grandson Wuji can get news from Hexi, the Dugu family can naturally get it too.

This news itself is not surprising. In fact, since the establishment of the Hanhai Protectorate's Mansion, there have been big battles without any minor battles, without stopping for a moment.

But Changsun Wuji concealed it and did not report it, so there is a problem...

Dugu Lan held the cup, had a drink with Yuwen Shihe, and then continued: "Fang Jun led his troops away, far away in the Western Regions, but the threat to Guan Long was too great. Right now, Guan Long's army can't say 'a mob'. It's an exaggeration, but it's ten times as high as the Eastern Palace's six rate, but it can't capture the imperial city. It can be seen. And Fang Jun's half, whether it is the half of the Dadou Bagu who defeated the tens of thousands of fine cavalry in Tuyuhun, and the Youtunwei who wiped out the powerful enemy in Alagou, Or the Anxi army, which is fighting endlessly with several times their own, is the elite of a hundred battles. Once these two armies follow Fang Jun to help Chang'an, all the advantages of Guanlong will be wiped out in an instant. Whether to capture the imperial city, It is no longer important to dethrone the Eastern Palace, what is important is how to protect ourselves and our hundreds of years of family business!"

Fang Jun is indeed a huge threat, but Yuwen Shiji shook his head and said: "Fang Jun may not abandon the entire Western Regions and lead troops back to Chang'an."

He and Fang Jun can be regarded as friends who have forgotten the years, and they are very familiar with each other's personalities.

It can be said that Fang Jun is completely different from the vast majority of courtiers today. Most of the civil servants and military generals in the world are "loyal to the emperor" and have unparalleled loyalty to the emperor.But Fang Jun is an exception, even when facing His Majesty Li Er, he respects more than obeys orders.

Fang Jun may be "loyal to the emperor", but he is definitely more "loyal to the country"!
In fact, His Majesty Li Er has expressed emotion in front of Yuwen Shiji more than once, that Fang Jun is so unruly and unruly, he doesn't seem to care who is going to be the emperor, what he cares about is whether the country will get better and better, and the world Will the people's livelihood get better and better?

In a sense, Fang Jun is not a "loyal minister", but a "national scholar".

"Loyal ministers" are obedient to their superiors and never die, while "national scholars" care about the world and worry about the country and the people...

So if someone else, for the sake of their own future, they might abandon the Western Regions and let the big cannibals invade and occupy them, they should also bring back troops to turn the tide and establish the position of the crown prince's number one hero.But Fang Jun would never lead his troops back to Chang'an when the big cannibals were raging in the Western Regions.
