Chapter 3856: Insidious means
Yanshoufang.
Inside the house, Changsun Wuji was wearing a moon-white tunic with his gray hair hanging loosely. He had obviously just gotten up from the bed. He had dark bags under his eyes, swollen cheeks, and a gray complexion. He struggled to sit in front of the coffee table, looking exhausted and weak.
Opposite me, Master Yuwen was pouring tea from a pot and asked with concern: "Are you feeling well?"
Changsun Wuji picked up the tea cup and took a sip, shaking his head: "In recent years, his health has not been very good. His previous fall from a horse damaged his roots, and it will be difficult to recover without three or five years of rest. But in this current situation, how can we tolerate it? Do you have to slack off for a moment? It’s just a matter of holding on. If you can survive, it’s God’s mercy. If you can’t survive, it’s just destiny and you can’t force it.”
The situation took a turn for the worse, coupled with the physical injuries and illnesses, the original ambitions were almost completely gone. Now the only thing that supports him is the continuity of the family and the inheritance of the Miao descendants. He cannot accept the complete decline or even destruction of the Changsun family under his hands.
Yu Wenshiji said with relief: "You have to keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood. In the final analysis, your body is more important. Although the current situation is not optimistic, it is not yet at the end of the road. Guanlong still needs you to assist you in taking charge of the overall situation."
His mood now is extremely complicated.
On the one hand, if Changsun Wuji becomes ill or even passes away, Guan Long will completely fall under his control. At that time, whether it is war or peace, it will be all led by him, so that he will not be defeated by people like Changsun Wuji. Stubbornness leads to destruction.
On the other hand, he also knows that his prestige and ability are inferior to Changsun Wuji. Without Changsun Wuji, can he fully control the Guanlong clan?
Moreover, as long as Changsun Wuji is alive and uses his unparalleled prestige to intimidate all the Guanlong families and use his strength in one place, he may not be able to defeat the East Palace and create a world...
Very confused.
Outside the house, it was as noisy as a vegetable market. From time to time, people shouted loudly and cursed in low voices, making it a chaotic mess.
Yu Wenshiji glanced outside and frowned: "The auxiliary machine has really not seen the leaders of these private armies from various places?"
The Youtun Guards under Fang Jun divided their troops into several groups and attacked with heavy blows. The elite troops swept across the private armies of the powerful clans stationed in various places. They were invincible and invincible. They beat these private armies who were short of food and weapons and cried for their fathers. Mother, fled in panic. A few soldiers who had escaped gathered around Chang'an, crying and going to the city for help. Those who had not been attacked could not sit still, fearing that they would be the next target of the Youtun Guards, they also poured into the city to beg Guanlongmen for help. rescue.
Changsun Wuji took a sip of tea and said calmly: "So what if I see you? These powerful private armies can just be used as bait to contain Fang Jun, making him greedy for power and unable to provide sufficient support to Tai Chi Palace. Otherwise, if Fang Jun If Juntang takes action, as long as he deploys troops to threaten our troops on either side of Chang'an City, it will definitely threaten Chunming Gate, Jinguang Gate, etc. How can we fight to the death with the Sixth Army of the East Palace with all our strength?"
After a pause, he added: "Besides the current situation, how can we help them?"
This sentence makes me sigh with melancholy and powerlessness.
Today, the food supply of the Guanlong army is already a big problem. It cannot last for more than a few days. If the food is distributed to these private armies, it will be eaten up in three days. What war will be fought at that time? We might as well abandon our weapons and surrender, hang ourselves on a three-foot white silk ribbon, and be done with it...
Yuwenshi and Moran.
In the past, I was worried about the clans from all over the country behind these private armies, fearing that the destruction of these private armies would cause the clans from all over the country to hate the clans in Guanzhong. But now, the clans in Guanlong are in danger and have to desperately fight for a way out. How can I care about so many?
He worriedly said: "If we let it go, what if these clans are desperate and harm the place and harm the people?"
Changsun Wuji frowned and held the teacup in his hands for a long time, speechless.
Originally, he hoped to coerce the private armies of these wealthy families into a decisive battle with the East Palace, but a crowd outside the Jinguang Gate burned the grain and grain, making it impossible for Guan Long to use these private armies for his own use anymore - if you want others to help you fight, you You have to give people a full meal, right? But now the food supply of the Guanlong army is unsustainable, and there is a risk of running out of food at any time. How can they take care of these private armies?
Moreover, the Youtun Guards' combat power was far more tyrannical than Changsun Wuji had expected. These elite private armies seemed to have a large number of people, but under the attack of the Youtun Guards, they were just a bunch of chickens and dogs. Thousands of people fled and cried for their fathers and mothers...
But just as Yu Wenshiji worried, if they just sit back and do nothing, these private armies will either surrender to the East Palace, or they will disperse and cause trouble to the place. It is impossible for private armies who lack food and fodder to care about the so-called laws and military laws. It is almost inevitable to rob people and burn down villages.
After all, Guanzhong is still the foundation of the Guanlong Clan. If these clans' private armies are allowed to wreak havoc in Guanzhong, not only will those Guanlong Xungui who provoked the mutiny be scolded, but the Guanlong Clan will be infamy for thousands of years. ……
Confucian principles have a far-reaching influence. For anyone, it is difficult for anyone to be in the situation of "I will not care about the flood after I die." Even if I die, I must pursue a worthy and fair death. It is absolutely unacceptable to have to be reviled by all generations and despised by descendants after death.
Yu Wenshiji let out a long sigh and said, "You are trapped in a cocoon!"
It's not that I'm blaming Changsun Wuji. It's useless to blame anyone today. But who would have thought that the private army of the powerful family that they thought would be a huge help has now become a lingering burden for Guan Long? If you fail to help at all, it is very likely to become the source of the disease in Guanzhong. If you are not careful, it may even make the Guanlong clan become the root of the disaster for the country, which the people of Guanzhong hate to the bone, and the stained Qingshi will criticize with words and writings...
Once the situation develops to that point and the reputation of the Guanlong clan is completely ruined, even if they can escape the current crisis, how will future generations gain a foothold in Guanzhong?
Changsun Wuji raised his head and looked at Yuwen Shiji with a gloomy look: "How do you think we should deal with these private armies?"
Yu Wenshi met his eyes and was shocked by the cold light flashing in his eyes. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Now that the matter has come to this, I am afraid that the grudges with the world's nobles can no longer be resolved."
Now that the grudge has been forged and there is no way to resolve it, there is no need to be timid anymore.
Simply let this hatred grow deeper...
The two people's eyes met, and they both understood each other's meaning. Changsun Wuji said: "It is better to organize these private armies into an army, appoint a general to lead them, choose one of them on both sides of Chang'an City, and launch a surprise attack to the north. It would be best if we can break through the Youtun Guard line in one fell swoop. Even if we can't, we can greatly restrain the Youtun Guard's forces so that they have no time to worry about anything else."
Yu Wenshi nodded in approval and asked: "Do you think it would be good to send him as the commander?"
It is difficult to find this candidate. He must have sufficient status and prestige, otherwise he cannot win the trust of these powerful private armies. I am afraid that they will disperse before they reach the Youtun defense line...
Changsun Wuji lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Let Changsun Yan go."
Yu Wenshiji was shocked and said hurriedly: "The auxiliary machine thinks twice, you can't do this!"
Organizing the private armies of those powerful families into an army is just a show, and their combat effectiveness is still sluggish. As the general appointed by Guanlong, he has to face not only the powerful Youtun Guards, but also the private army that may collapse at any time or even have internal strife. The danger is like facing an abyss, and the slightest carelessness may lead to death in the army.
Changsun Wen was already dead before. If Changsun Yan encounters something unexpected again this time...
Changsun Wuji said: "At the critical moment of Guanlong's survival, every descendant of Guanlong must be prepared to sacrifice his life for righteousness and serve the family. Otherwise, if the nest is overthrown, how can the eggs be finished? Even you and me, if the current situation Even if they are forced, they must go into battle without fear of death. The children of the Changsun family are not overflowing with talents, but they only lack the unyielding will to be the first!"
Yu Wenshi was shocked in his heart, and he said after a long time: "In that case, let's gather the private troops of the powerful families on the side of Jinguang Gate, let Yu Wenlong hold the battle for them, and make a surprise attack to the north."
The purpose of this strategy is not to break through Youtunwei's defense line at all. How to break through Youtunwei with the dispersion of the private army?
It's just a borrowed knife to kill people. The method is too sinister, but it is indeed very effective. It can solve the problem of these powerful private armies in one fell swoop...
A raid on Youtunwei's defense line is bound to encounter a strong counterattack by Youtunwei. These powerful private armies are unable to resist, and their collapse is almost certain. At this time, the Guanlong army needs to cut off their retreat, leaving them with no way to retreat, and ultimately their destruction. The guards of Youtun were under attack.
But at the same time, the Guanlong army must have been too late to retreat, and then had a fierce battle with Youtun Guards, and losses were inevitable. Changsun Wuji sent all his sons up, and Yuwen Shiji felt that he had to express himself, so he planned to bear the loss by the Yuwen family's private army.
We can't let the eldest son's family sacrifice their son and destroy their private army. Even if the Guanlong clan exists in name only and each has its own agenda, there is no such reason... (End of Chapter)
