Northern Dynasties

Chapter 5 Yuwen Black Otter
"The sea and the land are sinking together, and the road is like embers. Although it didn't start at this time, it is still a catastrophe that all the wise and brave people in today's domain can't bear to look directly at!"

In the wide hall, a middle-aged man with a burly figure, a high nose and deep eyes was lying on his side on a wooden couch.

Yu Wentai's expression was a bit gloomy at first, but when he heard the scribe chanting to this point, his face became more relaxed, and he said: "Although the text is not well-known, it is reasonable. If Huibao's words stop at criticism, it is I misread him."

"Uncle said that, please forgive me for not agreeing! In the preface of this book, which word is not true? Zhao Gui is unworthy, and he brought down the army to the brink of defeat, and his crimes are not limited to the tens of thousands of soldiers who died on Mangshan Mountain?"

A young man in his thirties was sitting on his knees in the hall. After hearing this, he couldn't help but say, his eyes quickly turned red: "Poor me, Amodun, who has been living in a thief's land until now, and I don't know life, death, honor or disgrace." I thought that after the soldiers entered the tiger prison, one or two of them might be brought back to support and enjoy the blessings, but they were still ruined by this village righteous scum!"

The young man's name is Yu Wenhu, who is the son of Yu Wentai's elder brother Yu Wenhao. He originally participated in the battle as a general of the left army Zhao Gui. After the left army retreated, he stayed at Tongguan to collect the defeated soldiers.

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

Therefore, when Yu Wenhu heard the accusation against Zhao Gui in the first half of Hui Hui's memorial, his emotions were also greatly affected, and his dislike for Zhao Gui deepened: "In this battle, the soldiers of the Central Army and the Right Army used their lives, but the Left Army was afraid because of the leader. The group of disciples lost their courage, I am in the formation, I have eyes to see, if it is not for the left army..."

"Shut up! This time, how many of your relatives and superiors are in the battle, they are more intelligent than you, and they are more sad than you!"

Facing his nephew, Yu Wentai no longer concealed his emotions, and when he talked about the previous failure of Mangshan, his expression was resentful and melancholy.

But seeing Yu Wenhu's face covered with tears, he just sighed, stopped reprimanding, raised his hand and said, "Continue to read."

"Nowadays, when the dynasty is established, the Daxingtai has a heavy weapon. It is governed by benevolence. Those who have lost their homeland are governed by righteousness. The elders in Kansai are respected by courtesy. Those who are old and new, make an appointment with faith. Covers everything, bathes people of all kinds, no matter how high or low, if you use it big, it will be big, if you use it narrow, it will be narrow, only the big one can cut it!"

Hearing this, Yu Wentai's eyes flashed, he stopped the clerk again, sat up straight on the wooden couch, looked down at Yu Wenhu and said in a deep voice: "This kind of insight is no longer within Huibao's grasp, nor is it under his command. Can the group of bureaucrats say, who grabbed the pen for him?"

Yu Wenhu was still immersed in the grief of being separated from his family at the moment. After hearing the words, he only said: "I heard that he was a fugitive from Dongzhou who was arrested before the pass. He was a member of Gao Zhongmi's subordinate. Because Gao Zhongmi was arrested by Zhao Zhongmi You are arrested, join the leader's tent, and beg for advice."

"Dongzhou is densely populated with talents, which are indeed more impressive than those in Kansai!"

After hearing the words, Yu Wentai sighed, showing a sense of envy in his words and demeanor, and then signaled the clerk to continue reading.

"In ancient times, all the great governance techniques were listed in the village, and the wealth was hidden in the people. They were coordinated with the way, and they were followed by the law. They were both beneficial and powerful, and they were always disadvantageous! Those who perished in the Qin Dynasty were not Chu. The favorable location boosts morale, even though stubborn thieves are vicious, they are nothing to worry about. It is better to scatter morale than to scatter, and to scatter is not as good as attracting them. If you attract them and gather them, the Dao will prosper..."

Hearing this, Yu Wentai's expression became a little unnatural again, his eyes wandered around the people in the hall, he was a little bit cramped when someone saw through his mind, he sneered after a while, and said: "I thought it was a little bit Zhenzhi Hongqi turned out to be just some crazy talk!"

"Yes, armored soldiers are the foundation of the dynasty and a sharp weapon to defeat the enemy. If they are listed in the village, they will definitely be strong and aggressive, and they will leave wealth to the people. The world will inevitably be treacherous. Although there are three families in Chu, the death of Qin must be Chu. The conclusion in ancient books, is it true? The vain theory of gaining the right and losing the way can be questioned and overthrown!"

Yu Wenhu nodded repeatedly after hearing the words, saying or not, it is not a concrete discussion at all, the most fundamental truth in the world he has seen is that those who are reckless and arrogant are strong.

"You also know that the death of Qin will lead to Chu? Then tell me, why did Chu perish from Qin?"

Although Yu Wentai is seldom ignorant of books, but as his authority grows, he pays more and more attention to classics and academics. He doesn't want his subordinates to be full of brave but ignorant warriors, and he often tells his nephews and nephews about classics and historical principles.

Yu Wenhu was a little embarrassed when he heard this question, and bowed his head in silence for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "I know what's going on but I don't know the reason. King Xiang was brave and that's why he destroyed Qin, and Pei Gong and Pei Gong were so wise that they made Han?"

"Bravery can make meritorious deeds, and wisdom can establish careers. This understanding is correct. But Chu's death to Qin was due to the Chu people's resentment. They were full of anger and ambition, so they did not fear power and took the lead in launching troubles."

When Yu Wentai talked about this, his expression turned to recall: "The mutiny in Beizhen was also the same reason. We Beizhen children may not be the best in the world, but we are not calm within an inch, so we want to ask the world why we treat me poorly. ?
Morale is congested, and it is bound to flood. This old heart and spirit, father and brother practiced it with flesh and blood, and pushed me to others, children and grandchildren should not forget it easily.Although this reasoning is frivolous and false, it is stronger than your knowledge! "

"I, I'm just not familiar with Han'er's scriptures, and I may not be as ill-informed as what Uncle said..."

After Yu Wenhu heard this, he was a little bit unconvinced. He lost his father when he was young, and traveled around with his uncle, and was separated after wars. The Dongzhou descendant who had never met, was ashamed and annoyed, but also a little bit lost.

"It's always good to be ambitious."

Yu Wentai smiled, raised his hand to receive the memorial book sent by Ji Hui, and read it carefully at his desk, and asked: "How many people have handed this letter, and how many people have read it?"

"I was sent back to Huazhou by the leader of the army and submitted to the hall."

Yu Wenhu quickly said that feelings are feelings, and he dare not be sloppy when it comes to military affairs.

"You go back and rest first."

Yu Wentai sent his nephew out of the hall, then raised his head and asked the soldiers: "Has Zhao Hussar entered the mansion yet?"

"The hussar envoy reported that the horse fell in shock on the way home, and his muscles and bones were injured. Please return to the residence after the injury has recovered."

Hearing the soldier's reply, Yuwentai's eyes flashed a glimmer of gloom, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "The visitors on the platform brought the medical officer's medicine stone to the town to give condolences, and Su Shangshu went with me, pass my password, let Zhao The hussars released Gao Situ, and his subordinate officer named Li Xiao was appointed to serve in the mansion."

When the soldiers went out to pass the order, Yu Wentai grabbed the memorial and read it carefully, and asked the clerk to copy a few copies. He picked up a pen and erased all the chapters and sentences related to Zhao Gui in the copy. .

After finishing these, Yu Wentai ordered to distribute the copies he had smeared to several civil and military ministers in court, and the original copy that had not been smeared, after he pondered for a while, he sent his staff to Grand Master He Ba advantage.

"It's interesting to use the right location to improve morale...He Liuhun is a hero, but his road to the virtuous is blocked because of this, so there are gains and losses."

After giving these instructions, Yu Wentai shook his head and sighed, then buried his head in the paperwork full of cases.After Mang Shan's defeat 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, several Hui called Li Tai to him two days later, and said: "The Kwantung bandit army has indeed retreated, and Daxingtai has sent a farewell general to guard the pass. I want to lead my troops back, so Li Lang will go with me." .”

Hearing that the subsequent military actions of the Eastern Wei Dynasty did not violate historical records, Li Tai also breathed a sigh of relief.

His previous thoughts were a bit rash and reckless, he underestimated the vigilance of the ancients, and 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 a mutual emotional connection, but Shuohui didn't trust him enough, called preferential treatment, but in fact he was put under house arrest in Guancheng, and even his former family members The parts are not allowed to meet each other.

Fortunately, the Eastern Wei still retreated, and he was a mere descendant of Gao Zhongmi's subordinate, and it was not worth Wang Sizheng's special pen and ink to tell whether he was cooperating to defend the city. The previous bragging about co-defending Hengnong was not exposed.

It doesn't matter if he is exposed, the Western Wei Dynasty was defeated in this battle, and the soldiers were worried. Everyone wanted to find a chance to take the blame lightly. When Guan Qian misunderstood him as a spy of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he was arrested more, and many innocent people were imprisoned.

It is justifiable for him to exaggerate his deeds as a precarious descendant, and it is not a principled mistake of lying about military information.

"May I ask, General, after the submission of the letter, will Daxingtai have a place to respond to the letter? If the words are still unfinished, Bo Shan dares to make a statement in person."

The small crisis here has been resolved, but Li Tai is also very curious about what kind of response his letter caused. After all, it is related to the rescue of Gao Zhongmi and his father Li Xiao, and whether he can gain a foothold in Guanzhong. a starting point.

When this topic came up, Shuohui's face became a little unnatural, and he only said to Li Tai: "Daxingtai is in charge of the military and government, and there are many things to be sorted out after the war, so I don't have time to reply."

Li Tai's heart sank when he heard this, it seemed that it was difficult to overthrow Zhao Gui with that letter, Yu Wentai must have made up his mind to protect this general Yuan Cong at this sensitive moment.

Seeing Li Tai's expression was different, Shuohui seemed to feel a little embarrassed, got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Li Lang don't need to worry about this, you are writing for me, and I will protect you in everything and everything." comprehensive."

"Thank you, General Bo Shan, for protecting me! I'm just worried that Mr. Gao and my parents..."

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

This time, several Hui's soldiers did not lead him to the residence where he was under house arrest, but took him to the camp on the west side of Guancheng.

"Alang!"

Seeing Li Tai again, Li Zhusheng and other family members greeted him one after another, with the joy of remaining alive after the catastrophe on their faces.

"It's fine!"

Seeing these family members who still never leave him in times of crisis, Li Tai felt much more relieved, but in addition to these dozen family members, there were more than a dozen unfamiliar Hu Han faces, all of whom called himself the master. , Li Tai was a little surprised.

"I'll talk to Alang later."

Seeing Li Tai's puzzled eyes, the middle-aged man Li Zhusheng stepped forward and shook his wrist heavily.
