Chapter 3755 Everyone has their own plans
"Here." Yu Wenjie responded respectfully, turned around and walked out of the side hall. He called two servants to fetch a horse. After getting on the horse, he did not immediately go to meet the head of the Guanwai family in Chang'an, but rode the horse. Rush to Tai Chi Palace.
After galloping all the way, Kankan caught up with Yuwen Shiji outside Chengtian Gate.
Yuwen Shiji had just gotten off the carriage when he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. He stopped and looked back. He frowned when he saw Yuwen Jie coming at a gallop.
Yu Wenjie galloped over, dismounted from his horse, and said in a deep voice: "Master, I have something important to discuss with you."
Yu Wenshiji glanced at him and returned to the carriage: "Come up and talk."
"Here."
Then he got on the carriage.
There is a copper stove placed in the carriage, burning fine smokeless bone charcoal, which is very warm.
Yu Wenshiji sat on the thick felt, frowned and asked: "What is going on?"
Yu Wenjie knelt down in front of him and whispered: "Just now, Duke Zhao ordered me to send someone to deliver a message to you. Please be sure to rescue Changsun Huan from the hands of the East Palace."
"Well,"
Yu Wenshiji disagreed: "Licking a calf is deeply affectionate, which is what it should be. It's just that Dong Gong holds the auxiliary machine as a handle, how can he let him go easily? It's impossible to pay something. When you go back and return to life, he said I will act with camera and go all out.”
Although Changsun Huan committed a serious crime of treason and had to go into exile, everyone knows that he is Changsun Wuji's most beloved son, and he once bestowed unparalleled high hopes on him. Even if he can't enter an official career now, how can Changsun Wuji give it up?
It is precisely because Changsun Huan is no longer qualified to live in the temple, so Yuwen Shi and others will spare no effort to rescue him.
But Yu Wenjie shook his head and said: "We cannot rescue Changsun Huan."
"Huh?" Yu Wenshiji was stunned and said curiously: "Although Guan Long has many internal conflicts, he is still in the same spirit. Now the auxiliary machine has entrusted this matter to me. If there is a chance to rescue Changsun Huan, why not For?”
Yu Wenshiji might still think about it if it was any of Changsun Wuji's other sons, but Changsun Huan himself could not live in a temple, but he was the most outstanding among Changsun Wuji's sons. If he could return to Changsun's family, he would definitely make him Conflict arises over family inheritance.
The eldest son's family is in civil strife, which is extremely beneficial to the Yuwen family. In this battle, Yuwen Long squandered the "Woye Town" private army that the Yuwen family had accumulated for many years, and the family's strength was severely damaged. If he could not create some trouble for the eldest son's family, Yuwen How can we still have any hope of competing for the leadership of Guanlong?
He didn't believe that Yu Wenjie couldn't see the benefit of rescuing Changsun Huan based on his ability.
Yu Wenjie glanced out the window, and saw a group of Donggong Sixth Leader wearing armor and armor, walking past Chengtian Gate with a mighty look and high morale.
"Master of the family, Zhao Guogong's ambition has not been eliminated until now. He promised peace talks, but in fact he still wanted to destroy the East Palace in one fell swoop. Otherwise, why bother to borrow troops from outside the pass? He has become red-eyed and intends to kill all of us in the Long Clan. Tied to the chariot, follow He will live and die together! Master, you must not listen to his casual words. You must promote peace talks as soon as possible and eliminate the military disaster. Changsun Huan must be placed in the hands of the East Palace as a hostage, so that Zhao Guogong can vote against the rat and dare not start it again unscrupulously. War ends.”
He always knew that the head of the family was resourceful and thoughtful, and he had always been a figure like the "chief think tank" among the Guanlong clan. However, he has a soft personality and lacks independent opinions. He easily listens to others and shakes his position. His will is extremely unstable. I am afraid that at this moment, he has believed Changsun Wuji's words of advocating for peace talks.
Otherwise, why continue to increase troops?
Seeing that Yu Wenshi was silent, Yu Wenjie added quickly: "What's more, Li Ji was stationed in Tongguan. He neither entered the pass nor exited the pass. He just pinched the throat of the pass and refused to go out. Xiang The road to the west was firmly occupied by the Youtun Guards, and the Anxi Army came thousands of miles from the north to help. The area is sparsely populated and the roads are difficult to navigate. If something unexpected happens, is it possible that the Guanlong Gate clan will have to rush out of Yanmen Pass and return to their hometown in Daibei? The Qinling Mountains lie across the south, with towering peaks and deep ravines, making it an insurmountable natural chasm for Guanzhong today. For Guanlongmen, it is already a dead end..."
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
No matter what Li Ji is planning, no matter whether Changsun Wuji wants war or peace in his heart, based on the current situation of Guanlong, it has reached a precarious stage.
Once something unexpected happens, there is no way to escape, you can only fight to the death in Guanzhong, life or death.
Yu Wenshi raised his gray eyebrows, then sighed softly, and exclaimed: "How could I not know this situation? It's just that we, Guanlong, have been together for hundreds of years. Once we fall into division and go our own way, we will definitely be destroyed. The Shandong aristocratic family and the Jiangnan scholar group rose up to attack. If the skin is gone, how can General Mao be attached? Moreover, once Guanlong is divided, this war will be impossible. The remonstrance must be defeated, and Auxiliary Machine will naturally bear the brunt. Others may still have a chance to survive, but Auxiliary Machine can only be buried with the eldest grandson's family... I have been with Auxiliary Machine for a lifetime. Although it is not a close match, we can still be regarded as helping each other. Helping each other, how can we bear to push them into the abyss of eternal destruction with our own hands at this moment? ”
There was a long sigh.
He also knew that he had a weak character and had no independent opinion. Otherwise, why would he have been coerced by his family in the first place and turned against his wife, and would not have any contact with each other until death?
If we were really cruel, we should have taken the opportunity to withdraw from the mutiny at the beginning and not get involved. The Dugu family and the Linghu family were afraid of Changsun Wuji's revenge, so they had to hold their noses and participate in the mutiny, but the Yuwen family had " "Woye Town" has a private army in hand, and its strength is the strongest among the Changsun family. They can retreat at any time. Who dares to stop them?
The result is that we are in a dilemma today, riding a tiger with a hard time getting off.
Yu Wenjie said quickly: "Master, between advance and retreat, life and death, you and I are not afraid of life and death, but the whole family and future generations, can you also bear the risk of making them become untouchables?"
This sentence can be regarded as a complete hit to Yuwen Shiji's vital point.
As the head of the Yuwen family, he caused almost the entire private army in "Woye Town" to be wiped out, which has already broken the backbone of the Yuwen family. If he followed Changsun Wuji all the way to death, he would eventually be defeated and die, and the family would be ruined. As a sinner, the men were sent into the army and the women were turned into military prostitutes... Then he, the Yuwen scholar, was the eternal sinner of the Yuwen family, and his descendants would dig up his tomb and whip his bones...
< br>
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, sighing: "How should we deal with the current situation?"
Yu Wenjie had already prepared and said decisively: "Try your best to promote the peace talks. Even if the East Palace demands are too much, we must unite with other clans to put pressure on Zhao Guogong and force him to agree. If he insists on his own way, refuses, and even continues to attack Taiji Palace, Then draw a clear line between them and not conspire with them.”
It is said that "draw clear boundaries and do not conspire with each other." However, the Guanlongmen valve is so intertwined that how can it be clearly distinguished? It was just a way to blackmail Changsun Wuji and force him to agree to broker peace talks and end the war.
Although the Yuwen family is not as good as the Changsun family, its influence is sufficient. As long as Yuwen Shiji threatens to withdraw from the Guanlong clan, the other families will have dependents. When Guanlong falls apart, what will Changsun Wuji use to fight against the East Palace? ?
Yu Wenshiji gritted his teeth, with determination, nodded and said: "Good! You go back and keep an eye on Changsun Wuji's movements. If he really has not given up and wants to increase his troops to attack Taiji Palace, I will contact all the families and force him to give up. Soldiers admonition.”
Yu Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief and responded: "Master, don't worry, I will act with caution."
"Well, go ahead. I will enter the palace to discuss the details of the peace."
"Here."
When Yuwenjie got off the car and walked away, Yuwenshi and Fang just took a long breath, shook their heads helplessly, and sighed. He got up and got out of the car, straightened his clothes in front of the palace gate, and waited until the chamberlain of the East Palace and several civil servants came out to greet him, then he entered the Chengtian Gate.
Under the light drizzle, the war-torn Tai Chi Palace seemed to have returned to its former solemnity. However, the houses along the way had collapsed walls and destroyed buildings, but they no longer had the majesty and prosperity of the past. The center of the empire and the king's bedroom were devastated after the war...
This is how it is inside the Taiji Palace, with rubble everywhere under the torrent of war, but what does it look like outside Chang'an City?
Since ancient times, bandits have passed like combs and soldiers have passed like grates. So many troops have gathered around Chang'an, and private armies from foreign sects have stationed in Guanzhong. It is almost impossible to get them to abide by the law and have no offense with the people. This mutiny not only destroyed Chang'an City, the most magnificent and prosperous imperial capital in the world, but also caused the people of Guanzhong to suffer a dire disaster.
Yu Wenshiji took a deep breath and walked through the Taiji Palace until he reached the inner gate. (End of chapter)
