Chapter fifty-seven good rain knows the season

The spring rain is scattered, nourishing the earth, and in the Xuanhu City, Wang Yuwen of Xiyang stood under the eaves, watching the drizzle intently, he thought that at this time, there might have been spring rain in Jiangnan, which is the so-called misty rain in Jiangnan.

As winter goes and spring comes, the Central Plains gradually enters the rainy season. By then, the rainfall is abundant and the river water level rises. This is a great opportunity for the Southern Army to expedition in the north for hundreds of years.

The Southern Army marched northward along the Central Plains, Huai and Si water systems, and could easily transport supplies, food and grass with boats. As long as you take down the important land of the two Huai Rivers and build the Huai River defense line, you can sit on the south bank of the Yellow River.

The Huaihe River defense line, the important places from west to east include Shouchun, Zhongli, Dayi, Shanyang, Huaibei, and Xuanhu, Xiaohuang and Xuzhou from west to east. If you can take these three places, you can consider operating the Yellow River defense line.

If you want to set up defense along the south bank of the Yellow River, you have to take down four important places, that is, the so-called "Four Towns of Henan", Luoyang, Hulao, Liutai, and cleansing, which are also important points on the Yellow River. Only by taking down and defending these four important places can the so-called Yellow River defense line be stable.

At this point, if the Southern Army could rebuild the Yellow River defense line, it would be able to achieve the largest territory of the Southern Dynasty during the Liu Song Dynasty. As for Hebei, if there were no powerful cavalry and excellent commanders, it would be better not to die.

Thinking of the cavalry, Yuwen Wen sighed. He didn't have many cavalry, so he could only engage in defensive counterattacks when fighting in the plains. If he competed with the enemy with cavalry advantage, he would sooner or later be ruined because the food route was cut off.

Of course, you can also use the fortress tactics with Bukeqi, but this consumes a lot of money and grain. If Yuwen Wen really has so much money and grain, it is better to raise a horse.

Therefore, he could only go to Guangcheng now and prepare to attack Lianghuai. This area is densely packed with river networks, which is more suitable for him to fight with his subordinates. As for both sides of the Yellow River, it is the battlefield for cavalry.

If he does not go south, he must participate in the north, so he can only defend the city as a meat shield to attract enemy troops and wait for the main forces of both sides to decide the victory or defeat.

When his side won, he took advantage of the situation to rob. When his side was defeated, he was a miserable boat against thousands of waves.

This feeling is very bad, so Yu Wenwen decided to obey the arrangement to go to Guangcheng and find a way to open the battlefield between the two Huaihe Rivers. However, the passage through Xuanhu requires several days because there is another thing that must be done.

......

In front of the Yuzhou General Administration Office, there were crowds of people in front of the main gate, and many people got off their horses and carriages and walked into the gate. In recent days, strong clans and surnames from all over the Yuzhou General Administration Office have sent their clans to Xuanhu to reward the army, and listened to the teachings of their parents and saw how they could serve the court.

No one is concerned about the poor in the downtown area, but rich in the deep mountains have distant relatives. Xuanhu is still the same Xuanhu, and the officials are still in charge. Why did the General Administration Office have a sharp contrast between the lack of doors and the crowded city a few months ago?

It's very simple. After the Battle of Shaoling, the Yuwen family gained a firm foothold in Yuzhou. If the powerful people in the Yuzhou General Administration still couldn't see the situation clearly, it would be almost the same as before being destroyed by the clan.

The imperial army... No, the army of traitors was almost wiped out in the Battle of Shaoling. The news spread like wildfire and soon became known to the powerful people from all over the country. The powerful people from all over the country who were standing on the Yuchi side immediately responded, that is, "anyway."

Yuwen's army has withstood the attack of the Yuchi army in the past few months, and has now turned into defense to offense. For the powerful people who are doing multiple-choice questions, there is no second choice.

And for Yuwen Wen, there is no second choice.

At this moment, Yuwen Wen was in the office of the office and "cordial" meeting with representatives from powerful people from all over the country and officials from various prefectures and counties. Although his face was full of smiles, he wanted to kill people and establish his authority and repair these fence-bearing plants.

A few months ago, he had just taken down Xuanhu, but by chance he saved the emperor in distress. He then issued a manifesto calling on officials from all over the country to raise troops to help the king. As a result, after the manifesto was sent out, he was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response, which made the emperor and Yuwen Wen very embarrassed.

At that time, Yuwen was not favored, and no one responded to the call to raise an army to support the king, which was reasonable. However, people always have shame. I don’t know what the emperor thinks about Yuwen Wen, and he himself was somewhat resentful about this.

If he was still 'in the past', he would definitely uphold the belief that "You ignored me in the past, but you can't stand the high ground today" and keep these fences away. But now it's different. As a vassal king with ideas, you must learn to compromise.

Unless it involves big troubles, political game is a compromise. The result of avenging revenge is to push potential allies to the hostile camp. Therefore, in order to win over all objects that can be won over as much as possible, Yuwen Wen must do the attitude that he should do.

There are also words to say, words to beat, and guarantees must be given. There are also a series of arrangements that must be pointed out on the spot, so as not to have any unnecessary misunderstandings.

The powerful people from all over the country sent their clans to Xuanhu, which was obviously to send hostages to express their feelings, but this was not enough. Yu Wenwen directly asked everyone to show their sincerity: sending food to reward the army, sending teams to listen to the order, and assisting the king's army in rebellion.

This requirement is very reasonable, and everyone present has no objection, and of course, they dare not have any objection.

After making the request, the sweetness was next. Yuwen Wen promised in public that the attendees today and the sect leader and officials who represented them would write their names in the memorial and send them to Chang'an and submit them to the emperor for the imperial examination.

Using both soft and hard is a means that qualified and in power must be used proficiently. Li Yunxin, who was beside him, felt relieved when he saw Yu Wen Wen's proper handling.

An incident that happened in Yecheng not long ago made Li Yunxin quite worried. As a Shangguan, the head coach and brother Yu Wenming arranged for Yu Wen to guard Guangcheng to look at the Huai River. As a result, Yu Wen Wen's bull temper was offended on the spot.

Fortunately, Yu Wenwen was in danger and surrendered to the back. Li Yunxin was worried that the queen of Huixuanhu was in a bad mood, so he vented his anger with these powerful men who heard the news, so he was sweating at the beginning of the meeting.

Now it seems that Yuwen Wen knows the importance of being serious and does not act recklessly, so Li Yunxin will be much easier to deal with next.

Yuwen Wen made a long talk. Next, Li Yunxin and Gu Yi talked to him. Li Yunxin will guard Xuanhu in the future. Gu Yi was originally an assistant to the General Administration of Yuzhou. He was well-known to the powerful and powerful people in various places. The two of them would often deal with these people in the future, so what they should say must be made clear as soon as possible.

Yu Wenwen, who had left the conference hall first, came to the eaves outside the hall. Zhang Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, held up an oil-paper umbrella to greet him.

Yuwen Wen took the umbrella and walked towards the gate. It was drizzling. He looked up at the sky and looked back at the crowded chamber. Yuwen Wen suddenly felt that there was a poem that suited the scene.
