Chapter 3486 Yu Wenshi and
Yanshoufang.
Although Changsun Wuji is known for his power and scheming, he himself is knowledgeable and good at both civil and military affairs. He also has a deep understanding of formation, marching and fighting. However, His Majesty Li Er is accompanied by Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Famous generals and marshals such as Yuchi Gong generally do not need him to lead troops on expeditions, so their military talents have not been shown.
At this moment, he was sitting in Yanshoufang and commanding the rebels to attack the imperial city, but he was doing it in an orderly manner and with proper tactics. All the families in Guanlong under his command were impressed.
It's just that the six troops in the East Palace are all elites, and they have a good location to defend the imperial city. They also have sufficient ordnance and equipment, so it is difficult to make breakthrough progress for a while.
However, war has always been like this. Where can there be so many devastation and violent advances? Most of the time, they are in such a stalemate and occupying the anxiety. The two sides are blindly fighting for consumption, consuming soldiers and baggage. Then at a certain moment, one of the parties either makes a command mistake and the other party seizes the loophole, or the consumption is too high and it is unsustainable. Suddenly the turning point of the war came.
In this regard, Changsun Wuji was very patient.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from the expedition to Liaodong trekked a long way back to Guanzhong. The horses, vehicles, food and baggage were extremely heavy, and the marching speed was seriously slow. In any case, it would take nearly a month.
He did not believe that the Sixth Army of the East Palace could hold on to the imperial city for a month under the fierce attack of the Guanlong clan. Moreover, as long as the Zuotun guards were launched and the Xuanwu Gate was in danger, the war situation would surely change.
What worried him was Chai Zhewei's attitude. He went to visit him in person, and the man did give a clear answer. However, as soon as he left, King Jing Li Yuanjing sent someone to go again, but he didn't know whether Chai Zhewei had surrendered to King Jing or where he stood. On which side.
However, no matter what Chai Zhewei's position is, his target is bound to be the Xuanwu Gate. As long as the Xuanwu Gate is breached, the reserve team he has already prepared will go straight to Prince Jing's Mansion, capture the thieves first and capture the king first, and wipe out all the Prince Jing's party.
King Jing Li Yuanjing is nothing to worry about.
Just as he was preparing for the future, considering all possible situations and dealing with them one by one, he suddenly saw the servant who had been sent to Fang's house running in in a panic. When he got close and was about to speak, Changsun Wuji raised his hand to stop him. .
Only then did the servant react, and he quickly took two steps forward, came to Changsun Wuji, and whispered in his ear: "Wu Lang was captured by the Fang family!"
Changsun Wuji was startled, but his face remained calm as usual, and he just said calmly: "Keep your voice down and tell us in detail."
"Here."
The servant then whispered what happened.
Changsun Wuji's face was calm and calm, as if nothing had happened, but there was a surge in his heart, and he felt that his breath was stuck in his chest, which made him feel dizzy.
Mother!
What kind of bad luck have you gotten yourself into these past few years?
The eldest son committed a serious crime of rebellion and was forced to go into exile. He will never be able to enter the official career of the Tang Dynasty again in this life, and his talents are useless. This son died before the palace, the third son died in the Western Region, the fourth son is sinister and vicious and now he has taken refuge in the East Palace and is under house arrest, the sixth son was killed by a traitor early, and the murderer has not yet been found, and now the fifth son is in the Fang family again In hand...
What is particularly abominable is that Sun Wen, the eldest son of the fifth son, not only fell into the hands of the Fang family, but was also shot with an arrow by Fang Jun's wife, and then captured alive by Fang Jun's concubine...
This is simply a shame!
He originally wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, not only to avenge the humiliation suffered by Fang Jun in the past, but also to intimidate the ministers and generals of the government and the public, so he humiliated the old, weak, women and children of the Fang family without any regard for face, but as a result, his son fell into the hands of the Fang family!
How did this make the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty view themselves?
What a big joke!
And more importantly, since Changsun Wen fell into the hands of the Fang family and was captured alive, should we continue to kill chickens to scare monkeys? If you continue, should you still attack the Fang family and bet that the Fang family dare not kill Changsun Wen, or should you change to a "chicken"?
Changsun Wuji felt dizzy for a while. If Changsun Wen were in front of him at this moment, he would like to kill this wine bag and rice bag with one knife!
It’s just that he can’t do such a small thing well, and it pushes the situation to the most disadvantageous situation...
He took a deep breath and was about to speak when he saw someone approaching and reporting: "To the head of the family, Duke Ying is asking for an audience."
Changsun Wuji was stunned, stroking his beard and pondering for a moment, and said: "Please come in quickly."
"Here!"
The man went out to invite the Duke of Ying and the scribes to come. Changsun Wuji ordered his servant: "Let this go for a while. Don't be impatient. I will make my own arrangements later."
"Here."
When the servant heard this, he quickly exited.
After a moment, Dugu Lan, who was dressed in regular clothes and was slightly fat, walked in. Changsun Wuji did not dare to neglect, stood up and walked forward to greet him, bowed his hands and saluted: "The Duke of Ying is here, and I couldn't greet him from far away. I apologize for my sin."
Yu Wenshiji was already very old, his body was so thin that a gust of wind could blow it away, and he walked tremblingly, but he was in good spirits. He smiled and returned the greeting, saying: "In such a critical time, why do you need such red tape? Instead, the old man came to disturb you. I’m worried about your business.”
Changsun Wuji didn't seem to understand these words of gun and stick, and his round face was full of smiles: "Come, come, Duke Ying, please take a seat."
In terms of seniority, Yu Wenshiji is a generation older than Changsun Wuji, and in terms of age, he is much older. Although the power held by both parties is not the same, Changsun Wuji still needs to hold the ceremony of son-nephew in front of Yuwenshiji. , I dare not make any exaggeration.
Of course, superficial respect and etiquette are one thing, but true power status is another...
The two of them sat down, and Changsun Wuji did not politely exchange greetings. He asked bluntly: "The Duke of Ying has been recuperating in the mansion for many days. What happened that made you come out of the mansion in the wind and snow?"
Yu Wenshiji is getting older, and his body and bones have long been exhausted. He has been critically ill several times before, but he has recovered at least, but his energy is not as good as before. Otherwise, with his seniority and qualifications, he would be even more suitable to be the leader of the Guanlong clan than Hou Mo Chen Qianhui.
Yu Wenshiji gasped twice and said with a wry smile: "As we get older, the debts of our grandchildren are still unpaid... Just now, that bastard Yu Wenjie returned to the house and mentioned what happened here. He was scolded angrily by the old man, so that Although our Guanlong families are not heirs of poetry and etiquette, they are the ones who think about their mistakes behind closed doors. Regarding seniority and rules, how can he, a mere junior, refute your reputation as the leader of Guanlong? I can't sit still at home, so I made this trip in person to apologize to you, lest the world say that I am the Yuwen family. He has no successors, and his descendants act wildly and recklessly.”
Changsun Wuji clicked his tongue, chewing on the meaning of Yuwenshi's words. Although he was not sure whether this was a reminder to him that Changsun Wuji should also "respect the elders", but regarding Yuwenjie leading the children of the Yuwen family to quit in anger, But it is obviously a positive attitude.
Otherwise, Yuwenshi and one person should not come here now and say some useless words, but should bring Yuwenjie and the children of the Yuwen family together...
Thoughts swirling in his mind, he slowly said: "The Duke of Ying's words are serious. I don't dare to take his words of 'Guanlong leader' seriously. They are just a joke by others. And I am not angry about Yu Wenjie. Young people, there are The ability is naturally clear-cut and sharp, rather than following what others say. This is a good thing, but in front of so many Guanlong disciples, and now it is time for everyone to work together, internal strife must not break out, causing great achievements to fail, so my attitude is too harsh, and I still have to be careful. I hope the Duke of Ying won’t be surprised.”
Yuwen Shiji then laughed.
Throughout his life, he had no outstanding achievements and had never held any power. However, he had an agile mind and was best at figuring out other people's thoughts. Otherwise, why would he be called "the number one sycophant of the Zhenguan Dynasty" by Wei Zheng? Even His Majesty Li Er, a wise king who works hard and is diligent in government affairs, can't help but rejoice in the face of his flattery...
How could he not understand what Changsun Wuji said?
In a word, Yuwenjie "showed his sharpness", which caused "internal strife" among the Guanlong families. If it "failed" in the end, it would be all the Yuwen family's fault...
Yuwen Shiji laughed twice, then his expression calmed down, and he said calmly: "Yu Wenjie is certainly rude and shouldn't be so reckless, but his true intention is correct. At the moment, our Guanlong families are suggesting Even though the military admonishment is done with care, Thinking of the common people in the world, the throne can fall into the hands of a talented and strategic prince, instead of a prince who is so benevolent as a woman and favors treacherous people... Even if he is honest and selfless, he will inevitably be criticized by the government and the public. "
Changsun Wuji said: "How can things in this world be fair and just as they should be? When we plan big things, as long as we have a clear conscience, we will naturally not be afraid of rumors. Moreover, as long as the government in the future will be prosperous and prosperous, the world will naturally understand that today I Wait for it."(End of this chapter)
