Chapter 141 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop
The Turkic capital Lan Khan, on the grounds that Zhou State had hidden the Dunyu Wen family, led a large army southward, invaded the Central Plains in several directions, attacked Dingxiang on the east, threatened Bingzhou on the middle, entered Xiazhou on the west, and entered Longyou on the west, and rushed to Guanzhong.
The Zhou Kingdom immediately sent troops to fight, and the sudden war shocked Guanzhong.
Since the fall of the Sui Kingdom, the Turks have not invaded the south for nearly seven years. Even though the treacherous prime minister Yuchi Dun later attacked, the wars in the Zhou Kingdom were raging, and the Turks still did not take advantage of the situation because something happened to the other party.
Ye Hu Khan was killed during the Western Expedition, and Dulan Khan, who succeeded to the throne, could not suppress the other Khans, so the Turkic tribes continued to have disputes.
Until later, Dulan Khan finally defeated the heroes through a series of combinations of vertical and horizontal lines, using both soft and hard skills.
The Turks and Zhou Kingdom had just ended their civil strife and needed to recuperate. But no one expected the Turks to invade. However, although this was beyond everyone's expectations, it was reasonable.
The Turks, unlike the Central Plains countries, are actually the leader of the tribes, just like the wolf leader of the wolf pack. As the wolf pack, they must be able to bring food to the wolf pack, otherwise they will be betrayal and expelled by the wolf pack.
The Turkic Khan must be able to bring benefits to the nobles of the tribes they follow, otherwise they will not be able to convince the public, and even the brothers will not accept it.
The Turks had been in civil turmoil for several years, and the tribes were exhausted and finally reached a compromise. If you want to eat meat, you have to turn your attention abroad. The prosperous Central Plains is naturally the first choice.
In the words of later generations, it is to launch a foreign war and divert domestic conflicts.
When Yuwen thought of this, he sighed, put down the letter, and looked out the window.
It is winter, the north wind is cold, the earth is frozen, the shadows of trees are swaying, and the snow falls.
Zhou State wanted to rest and recuperate, and the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. However, since the other party came to the door, if it was cowardly, the Turks would definitely gain a stubborn position.
As soon as Yuwen Wen returned to Guangling from Jiangnan, he received new news from Chang'an that the Zhou army had already launched an attack to keep the enemy out of Guanzhong. The marshals who commanded several marching commanders were the prince of King Qi and the Muslim in Yongzhou.
Yuwen Li had no experience in leading troops at all, let alone as a marshal, who led the army to fight against powerful enemies.
It is obvious that this is the decision made by Prime Minister and King Yu of Qi to establish his son’s authority. After all, with great military achievements in the future, only when facing many powerful people and military achievements can we be confident.
However, it depends on the situation when winning reputation and establishing prestige. If the decisive battle concerns the country's destiny and the coach becomes the "captain of the pig", it would be deadly.
Yuwen Wen was a little worried about this, after all, one soldier would be a nest of bells.
Taking Xiao Liang as an example, in the past battles between the Liang army and the Wei army, it was not because of the Liang army's soldiers who were not good at it. However, the Liang royal family members who served as the head coach were all bullish and cowardly, and would only make bad things.
Either underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, or fear the enemy like a tiger, and often scare yourself, so that you often leave the main force and escape, resulting in the defeat of the entire army. However, Yuwen Wen did not think that the Zhou army would suffer a loss this time.
The reason is very simple. Yuwen Li is a nominal marshal. The specific command is of course carried out by Yu Wenming's "luxury think tank" prepared by him.
Although the Turks are coming in a fierce manner, there are many signs that the other party is coming to rob, not destroy the country.
When robbery, you naturally have to save your life and enjoy the spoils. However, a Turkic tribe suffered too much casualties during the robbery, and it is easy to be annexed by other tribes.
Therefore, although the Turkic moves are coming in a fierce manner, they are actually indifferent and uneven.
As long as the Zhou army wins a few key battles, the nobles of all sizes and big in the Turkic army will inevitably be determined to retreat. Then Zhou will do a proper job and have a "Some Alliance" with the other party, spend some money and give a step, and you can send the other party away.
In this way, the threat from Guanzhong was lifted, and the people were able to escape the disaster, and Yu Wenli's great contribution was also obtained.
Yuwen Wen could even imagine how happy Yu Wenming would be when Yu Wenli returned to the court. If it were him, if Yuwen Weicheng had made such a great contribution, he would be afraid that he would have laughed from ear to ear.
Poor parents in the world, Yuwen Wen understood Yu Wenming's arrangements very well, but he was in charge of Jiangnan and now he could only watch his own side fight against the Turks.
Of course, if an accident occurs, Yuwen Lizhen becomes the "captain of pigs" and is defeated by the Turks, and the elite troops of the Zhou army are completely lost. Then the Turkic army will come to Chang'an. In this way, the opportunity will be...
My wife and son are still in Chang'an. The god of the Turks are coming to Chang'an. My chance is here!
Thinking of this, Yuwen Wen was a little irritable. When Yuwen Weicheng's illness was cured, Yuchi Chifan should have brought his two sons to Guangling. But I don't know what happened, Yuchi Chifan had to stay in Chang'an for a longer time.
Of course, there are reasons. Yuchi Chifan wants his son to interact with other powerful children, make more friends, and engage with the powerful children. Otherwise, if this continues, King Bin's son will be out of place with the powerful children in Chang'an.
To put it bluntly, Yuchi Chifan wanted his sons to integrate into Chang'an's powerful children's circle and make more friends in order to lay a solid foundation for future development.
This reason made Yuwen Wen unable to argue.
Yuchi Chifan also wanted his son to study in Lumen in Chang'an instead of studying in Huangzhou Prefecture. Yuwen Wen wanted to object, but he didn't know how to say it.
To put it bluntly, it is still a circle problem. Yuwen Wen's sons actually don't need to rely on studying to be officials. They just need to have an average literary foundation above average level. It's useless to learn too much.
And studying in Lumen is actually not for studying, but for the "classmate circle".
Those who can study in Lumen are basically children of powerful people. For children of powerful people, studying in Lumen is a good opportunity to cultivate connections.
Yuwen Wen's sons did not have this opportunity to study in Huangzhou Prefecture, or in elementary schools that relocated from time to time with the Bin Mansion.
Yuwen Wen had high hopes for his sons, and Yuchi Chifan was the same. She would rather live with Yuwen Wen temporarily, than give her son a social circle of good fortune and know more powerful children.
It is normal for couples to have differences over their children's education issues.
But now, it's not normal.
Yuwen Wen thought that things were not that simple. Yuchi Chifan had never been worried about his son's friendship before, but suddenly he made his own decisions and had a firm attitude, and wanted to stay with his son in Chang'an for a while.
Something was wrong.
Just as the Turkic suddenly became angry, the whole story was that the Turkic envoy who arrived in Chang'an at the beginning of the year heard the news and believed that Princess Taiping of Zhou was the Turkic Kehe Dun (Princess Qianjin) of the Turkic. Now if Zhou did not hand over someone, Du Lan Khan would come to pick him up.
And if Yuchi Chifan wants to stay in Chang'an, someone must have encouraged him...
When Yuwen Wen thought of this, he suddenly thought of someone, that is, the daughter of the princess.
On the New Year that year, the emperor was killed. The real murderer behind the scenes is said to be Mr. Liu. Yuwen Wen was not in Chang'an at that time and was not sure about the specific situation. However, he felt that if the princess of Qianjin lost her mind, she might take her anger on Yu Wenming.
Therefore, in order to expose her true identity in order to so-called "revenge", the Qianjin Princess had the motive to reveal her true identity and used it to attract the Turkic army to attack. Then...
So is it that the daughter-in-law fanning the flames and promoting the "circle of powerful children" in order to let Yuchi Chifan stay in Chang'an and chat with her more?
When Yuwen Wen thought of this, he suddenly jumped up, and his anger rushed up. Yuchi Chifan was his reverse scale, so he was very sensitive. As a result, Yuwen Wen's thoughts instantly spread:
