Huoran? Wen??? ???. ranen`org
The tense situation in Chang'an seems to be tightening the bowstring, and it is cracking all the time.
Because of Yuwenshi's words, the rebels were seriously divided, and even the generals who were loyal to the Yuwen family in the past resisted leading troops to the Khitan.
For a while, outside Chang'an, there was an undercurrent surging in the rebel barracks, and the generals had their own plans.
When the night is dark and the wind is high, it is the night of murder.
In the barracks, in the camps everywhere, the defenders are holding soldiers, strictly guarding against death, always vigilant against the defenders of Chang'an, or the army of the Quartet Qinwang, suddenly killing.
In the camp of Zuo Jinwuwei, the guards of the military camp are a little tighter than in the past.
In particular, near the Yuanmen, the most elite soldiers stationed in Zuojin Wuwei, a large number of secret agents were scattered near the camp of Zuowei and Zuojian guards, closely monitoring the movements of Yuwen's soldiers and horses.
With this, Bai Huanyu, the general of the left Jin Wuwei, after thinking about it, invited Zhao Yunsheng, the general of the right Jin Wuwei, and Cao Cen, the general of the left army, to come to the barracks to discuss the matter of breaking away from the Yuwen family.
Cao Chengping was born in a landlord family, joined the army as a young man, led the troops to fight many times, resisted foreign enemies, established outstanding military achievements, and was deeply trusted by the emperor.
Only because a few years ago, stationed in Hezhou, to prevent Tuyuhun from advancing westward, in a fierce battle, Yuwenshi led his troops to surround Tuyuhun 30,000 troops, he accidentally fell in Tuyuhun beauty, delayed the fighter, and let the Tuyuhun army flee.
Later, he received Tuyuhun gold and silver, and was captured by Yuwenshi. Fortunately, Yu Wenshi did not expose it to the imperial court, however, he has since been coerced by Yu Wenshi.
In the past few years, many things have been done that are unfavorable to the imperial court.
However, in his bones, he still wants to be an upright general, kill the enemy on the battlefield, make meritorious achievements, and be famous for generations.
Zhao Yunsheng, the general of the right Jin Wuwei, and Cao Cen Ping, the leader of the left army, were all caught by the Yuwen family because of similar things.
Therefore, at present, the Yuwen clan's rebellion has failed, and he hopes to take the opportunity to completely get rid of the Yuwen clan's control.
At this time, outside the tent, the guards are heavily defended, and the tent is like an iron wall, and outsiders don't want to get close.
In the military tent, the wine and delicacies were neatly placed, and Bai Huanyu waved his hand to signal the waiters in the tent and withdrew from the camp.
In the handsome tent. Ten steps away, Sen Luo is heavily defended.
Yuwenshi wants to take the generals to a point of no return and push everyone into the bottomless abyss.
However, at the moment of the defeat of the Yuwen clan, it was discussed to lead the army to break away from the Yuwen clan, and life and death were at stake. A little careless, Yuwen Shi is on guard, and there will inevitably be bloody conflicts, so he has to be cautious.
At the beginning of the banquet, Bai Huanyu, Cao Cenping, and Zhao Yunsheng had no appetite.
In the past few days, the fierce battle, the left and right Jin Wuwei, the left leading army Wei let the situation very difficult, the army of the king of all walks of life arrived, the three of them did not think about tea, and did not want to eat.
No one moved their chopsticks, just buried their heads in the stuffy wine, and the handsome tent was quiet.
After a long time, Bai Huanyu put down the wine glass in his hand and took the lead in saying: "General Zhao, General Cao, today, Bai invited the two of them to come, what is the so-called matter, the two generals should know it, what do you think about this?"
Hearing the sound, Cao Cen Ping and Zhao Yunsheng also put the wine glass on the dining table, raised their heads one after another, and focused their eyes on Bai Huanyu.
"General Bai, what Taifu said, Xuanzhi and Xuan, no matter what, Zhao categorically did not seek skin with the tiger and went to Khitan with the Yuwen family.
The eldest prince is benevolent, and there is the support of He Hengrui in the Chinese book, this time, the defense of Chang'an, the eldest prince did his best, and successfully controlled Shenwuwei, Long Wuwei, Zhao felt that he could lead troops to join the eldest prince, "It seems that he has already thought about it, Zhao Yunsheng did not hesitate, and immediately decided.
"General Zhao, mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, the prince is merciful, but he has no foundation in the army, in the defense of Chang'an, it is not so much that Shenwuwei and Long Wuwei fell into the hands of the great prince, but that they were successfully mastered by Zhongshu Ling.
What's more, the eldest prince, the rule of officials is acceptable, the military affairs are unfamiliar, we have always had a disagreement with the Zhongshu Order in the past, and if we take refuge in the eldest prince, we may not be accepted by the eldest prince, and if we can't keep it, we will also be punished by the Zhongshu Order." Cao Cen Ping refuted Zhao Yunsheng's proposal, and said loudly: "Cao believes that King Qin is virtuous, deeply hidden, there are signs of treachery, King Yan is strong, both civil and military, throughout the cultural governance in Chang'an, and the martial arts in the counterinsurgency, call him a hero, not at all.
According to Cao's observation, the King of Qin and the King of Yan are unwilling to be subordinated to others and must compete for the position of prince. Instead of icing on the cake, it is better to send charcoal in the snow, why don't we lead the troops to join the King of Qin, or, the King of Yan.."
"Heroes have a way, heroes have no way, traitorous males do the opposite, when the morality is great, it is easy to be traitorous. The tyrant is ferocious, and the tyrant has no way or has his own way, and has departed from conventional morality.
The king of Qin has endured for many years, and if he gains power, he will be like an arrow off the string, uncontrolled, and the consequences will be incalculable.
King Yan, frank and upright, but in Youzhou, seized Mu Qianjun, Li Xuanji's military power, touched the emperor's rebellion, even if the rebellion was meritorious, it was still difficult to gain the emperor's trust.
On the other hand, the eldest prince, who has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, will restore the position of the crown prince, if we sincerely take refuge and enhance its influence in the army, therefore, Cao proposed to take refuge in the eldest prince." Cao Cen Ping said softly.
At this time, Zhao Yunsheng continued: "General Bai, General Cao, don't forget that the queen of the dynasty is still a member of the Yuwen family, if we betray the Yuwen family, we will go toe-for-tat with the queen, even if we take refuge in the eldest prince, we may not save our lives.
At present, there are no more than four paths in front of you. First, bear the guilt of Jing petition, return to the imperial court, and still serve the emperor, second, we gathered troops, went to the west, and established themselves, and third, and Yuwenshi colluded and led the army to the Khitan. Fourth, among the princes, seek support,"
"General Zhao, you must not be in cahoots with the Yuwen clan and collude with each other, otherwise we will be stinky for a thousand years and be laughed at.
As for leading the troops to the frontier to stand on their own. It's also not appropriate, from this Yuwenshi rebellion, the garrisons from all over the country into the king of Beijing Qin, the power of loyalty to the court is still very strong, if we pattern the frontier, we will be put down by the imperial army.
And if you want to gain the emperor's trust again, it is not easy, not to mention, the emperor's dragon body is sick, suspicious, we have a stain on our bodies, who dares to guarantee that the emperor will not get rid of it quickly.
At present, if you can't take refuge in the King of Qin, the King of Yan, and return to the Great Prince, you can only take refuge in the envoys of Hedong and Hexi Jiedu to seek a way out." Cao Cen Pingdao.
Bai Huanyu listened quietly to Zhao Yunsheng and Cao Cenping's proposal, and noticed that the two of them were looking forward and backward, timid, and couldn't help but whisper: "General Cao, General Zhao, Bai has a plan once and for all, we are forced to attach to the Yuwen clan, in order to eliminate the emperor's vigilance, why not pay the certificate of surrender to the emperor to prove our innocence."
"Vote?" Hearing this, Cao Chengping and Bai Huanyu's faces condensed, and they were extremely surprised, wouldn't they kill the members of the Yuwen clan if they paid the vote?
This move is extremely dangerous, and if they don't plan it completely, they will kill themselves.
