Chapter 244 Involuntarily(2/2)
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door. The guard on duty said that someone had something to report. Yuwen Wen signaled the other party to bring people in. After the guard left, only Yuwen Wen and his uninvited guests were left in the room.
Yuwen Wen signaled the other party to sit down. Seeing that he didn't dare to sit, he smiled and asked, "Is the matter done?"
"Return to the Lord, it's done."
"Have you met Duke of the State?"
"See." After the man said, he added: "Master Lang, Duke of the Kingdom of China has a good look, but he looks a little sleep-deprived."
Yuwen nodded when he heard this and asked again: "What do you think of Duke Xi?"
The man replied, "Duke said nothing."
"Is that right?" Yuwen Wen tapped the desk with his right index finger, pondered without saying anything. The man waited for a while and asked carefully: "Master Lang, if there is no order, will you go first?"
"Um."
After only himself was left in the room, Yuwen Wen stopped typing the desk, got up and walked back and forth a few times, and sat down again.
He ordered the guards of the royal palace lurking in Yecheng to perform the kidnapping mission. The person in charge of Yecheng, Jean Valjean, personally directed and successfully "invite" Yuwen Wen's mother-in-law and brother-in-law to settle in a safe house.
This news was sent by Jean Valjean to take the risk of sending it from Yecheng to Liyang Pass, and finally passed it to Yuwen Wen, with a very fast speed.
He immediately wrote a handwritten letter, and asked someone to leave overnight to Xuchang, Zhengzhou, and delivered this "good news" to his father-in-law Yuchi Shun.
Yuwen Wen stated his interests in the letter, persuaded Yuchi Shun to surrender, and promised to ensure that his father-in-law and his family could be a rich man who could live a long life.
Although his father-in-law did not reply to him or express his opinion, Yuwen Wen knew that the other party did not have many choices.
Once a general who leads troops outside loses the trust of the court, he will either be seized from military power, be in a different position or be taken back to the country to be dealt with, or he will try hard to take the initiative to turn against others and lead the army to surrender to the enemy.
If you cannot lead the army to surrender, you will have to flee in a hurry. Throughout history, there are many such examples.
No matter what drama happens next in Xuchang, the only one who benefits from Yuwen is the one who benefits.
