At night, Tongzhou Chaoyi, tents were rising one after another outside the city. The Yanzhou army, which responded to the order of King Yang Guang of Jin, went south to reinforce, set up camp here. In the tent, Dugu Kai, the general manager of Yanzhou, was listening to the quest to report military information.

Guangtong Cang was burned the day before yesterday. Li Hun, the governor of Tongzhou, searched for Zhou Kou who set fire that day, but he accidentally encountered a hiding in Shayuan and died, and the Tongzhou army was over.

Where is this Zhou army? Here, it is in the reed marsh in Weiqushayuan south of Chaoyi.

The detective said he was leaving, and Dugu Kai looked at the map alone with a lamp. In fact, it was useless to see it. He had long remembered the terrain of Shayuan area, and this place was so familiar that it could not be more familiar.

Fifty years ago, the Eastern Wei army fought in Shayuan, and the Eastern Wei army was defeated in a crushing defeat and was captured by nearly 80,000 people, one of which was named Litun.

The Western Wei lacked troops, so the prisoners were incorporated into the army. Litun was assigned to Duguxin, the country of Zhu. Because of his repeated military achievements, he was named a confidant and was given the surname "Dugu". Later, Dugutun had a son, called Dugu Kai.

Dugu Kai has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and has excellent cavalry and shooting skills. He is good at using horse spears. He first followed him as King Yuwen Hu of Jin, holding a knife for him. He also went on a war with the army many times, almost every time he vowed to the Tongzhou.

The area of ​​Shayuan is full of reeds and muddy, so Dugu Kai felt that if he searched for this Zhou army with all his might, he would probably delay his trip to Chang'an, and it was clear at a glance which was more important.

This Zhou army is always a hidden danger if it fails to solve it, but the most important thing is to recover Chang'an first. Guangtong Warehouse is over. The war may not be delayed for too long. The problem of food is that after the recovery of Chang'an, the grain in Taicang can last for a period of time.

At that time, it would be much easier to deal with the Zhou army that burned Guangtong warehouse. If you hit the dog behind closed doors, no matter how fierce the dog is, it would be useless.

But can King Jin really recover Chang'an as soon as possible?

He felt very unlucky. After so many years of being in the army, Dugu Kai knew that there was no food war. Once the soldiers were short of food, their morale would just fall down. It would be useless for you to say that the morale of the army was in chaos.

Since the Zhou army succeeded in attacking Guangtongcang, no matter how difficult it is, it will have to defend Chang'an to the death. As long as it takes another ten days and a half months, the Sui army outside the city will inevitably retreat without fighting, so the hope of taking Chang'an in a short time is slim.

"If this continues, it's all done..."

The more Dugu Kai thought about it, the more anxious he became. He really couldn't figure out why the situation would worsen in just a few months.

"Brother."

One person walked into the tent. It was his brother Dugu Sheng. The two brothers were worried about the current situation. While they were discussing, Dugu Kai's son Dugu Lingyun suddenly came to report and said that an old friend was asking for a meeting.

"An old friend asks for a meeting? It's late at night, what's going on?"

Dugu Lingyun, who was in charge of the night patrol camp, said that Ansabau, Tongzhou, sent people to come and there was an emergency military report: they found the whereabouts of Zhou's army that burned Guangtong Cang.

"Brother, An has always been devoted to business and is not interested in other things. When I come to visit late at night, I am afraid that it will be a fraud, so I have to guard against it."

"Are you afraid of the other party assassination? A joke, I led my troops here to camp, but I was afraid of just a few assassins!"

Dugu Kai asked his son to bring in, but of course he did not give up. He only allowed two other people to enter the tent. As for whether he needed a knife and axe to ambush his left and right, he felt it was unnecessary.

"I'll see what they'll say later!"

A moment later, Dugu Lingyun brought the two of them in, and the first one was the one with deep eyes and high noses. He was from the Sogdian clan. Because he often passed by Yanzhou with the caravan and had more services in the General Administration Office, he naturally left an impression in Dugu Kai's heart.

"Did Ansabao send you here?"

"The Dugu General Manager was from An, who came privately and brought someone. He knew the whereabouts of Zhou Jun, and I guess the General Manager was very interested."

"Ha, it's such a coincidence that I'm sleepy and encountering a pillow?"

"Master, that's such a coincidence."

Dugu Kai looked at the old friend and looked at the person behind him. This person was only in his early twenties at a young age. It was thought that it was because of the frequent sunlight. He looked a little dark and familiar.

He looks strong, has bright eyes and is very energetic. He is either a vendor who has been traveling around all year round, or a soldier who has killed people or a private soldier.

Being an assassin is very suitable.

"The Zhou army set fire to Guangtong Cang, you know their whereabouts."

"Yes."

"Tell me, where are they?"

Dugu Kai's tone was very calm, but he was already secretly warned. Dugu Sheng, who was standing beside him, held the sword handle without any trace, and Dugu Lingyun, who led the people in, was no exception.

Three to two, just act like a cat playing with a mouse and hitting time, assassin? So what?

Seeing that the young man had no intention of speaking, Dugu Kai became interested. He felt that the other party was probably going to "stop the left and right" or let him "hold it over". If this is true, it would be extremely boring.

"Uh... I have something unknown to me, please ask Dugu General Manager."

"Say...well?"

Dugu Kai was stunned when he said this, because he felt that the other party actually called himself "the worker"... or "the master"?

"Well, since that's the case, I'll ask Dugu General Manager, how many heads can the Yuwen family bear your Dugu family?"

As soon as this statement was made, the three Dugu present were stunned. Dugu Sheng first reacted and still stared at each other, guarding against sudden difficulties. Dugu Kai thought for a moment and sneered:

"Why, is it that where you are here to be a lobbyist?"

"Lobbyist? Of course, it was just my husband who came here himself."

"I? What a big tone, who are you?"

"The Dugu General Manager is in his prime, so why is he so poorly? In September of the first year of Daxiang, the late emperor appointed Duke of Yun as the marshal of the army to attack the Southern Dynasty. When he was vowed to the court in Tongzhou, Dugu General Manager came out to go down the steps when the Dugu General Manager came out to the palace of Tongzhou... didn't he fall?"

Dugu Kai frowned when he heard this. That year, he was still the world of Zhou. He followed Duke of Yun Wei Xiaokuan to go to war. Emperor Tianyuan summoned the generals at Tongzhou Palace. He did fall when he left the hall.

There were palace guards next to him at that time, and one of them looked a bit like the person in front of him, but he was much more immature at that time, as if he was a county magistrate from the West.

It seems to be called Yuwen and something... Wait, Yuwen!

"I'm going around, and I think Dugu General Manager is also verbose. I, Yuwen Wen, are here to replace everyone with you."

"Yuwen Wen..."

Dugu Kai couldn't believe his ears. Dugu Sheng, who was beside him, drew his sword and pointed it at the other party. The soldiers outside the tent rushed in and surrounded two strangers in the tent.

"Okay, okay, I'm not three heads and six arms, so I'm so scared." Yuwen Wen started playing with his vicious tongue and started playing with his heartbeat.

"Get out!"

Dugu Kai drank the soldiers and looked at the young man who called himself "Yuwen Wen" in front of him. He remembered that the other party was indeed Yuwen Wen, the Duke of Xiyang County back then.

Looking at the brave young man, he grinned: "Duke Qi has a good son."

"It's my nephew. If Dugu General Manager said this in public in the future, how can Duke Qi deal with it?"

"In the future?"

"Don't want to go in the future? Okay, cut off my head and take it to Xinfeng and King Jin to receive the reward."

Yuwen Wen walked aside and sat down, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. After Dugu Kai asked his son to take the An clan out, he asked with interest: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid, I'm so scared that I'm dying. By the way, the Yang family killed more than fifty people in the Yuwen family, which scared me to have nightmares every day when I sleep. What should I do? I can only come to Chang'an to chop people, so I'll kill a few..."

Yuwen Wen stared at Dugu Kai's eyes, sweating in his palms. He will make big news today, whether he succeeds or not. In order to complete the long road of life, he must improve his state to the highest level.

"I originally planned to attack Huazhou, but later I heard that Dugu General Manager led his troops south to pass through Tongzhou, so I took the risk to meet him."

"The Sui Kingdom will be over sooner or later. I want to ask Dugu General Manager if he wants to change his head."

Dugu Sheng cursed "inexplicable", and Yuwen Wen regarded him as the background character and was too lazy to care. Seeing the master looking at him with a smile, he continued to do it:

"It's very simple. Today, either Dugu General Manager cut me off and will be killed by my family in the future... My uncle killed my whole family, or anyway, I am willing to be a guarantee."

"Are you intimidating me?"

"It is not the point of being scared or not. If Dugu General Manager wants to accompany the Sui Kingdom to be buried alive, then I will be killed. If you want to keep your family safe, then anyway, as for putting us under house arrest first, what should I say later..."

"Hmph, as long as I don't die, you will be killed in the future."

"Of course, it's OK if Dugu General Manager decides to escape to the Southern Dynasty to fish, but Chen's energy is almost the same. Where can Dugu General Manager escape at that time?"

Yuwen Wen's conditions are very simple. If Dugu Kai was anyway, he would be willing to protect him, and (uanh.com) he would protect the Dugu family from being liquidated. As a clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the nephew of Duke Qi, he would have the confidence.

Now the Sui Kingdom basically cannot protect its country. If Dugu Kai kills Yuwen Wen, Duke Yuwen Liang of Qi will definitely not be resolute to avenge his nephew. By then, Zhou Kingdom will recover his hometown and Dugu Kai's family will be doomed.

Dugu Kai understood this truth. It was very risky for the other party to enter the camp alone to persuade him to surrender, but only Yuwen Wen said this kind of thing in person was convincing.

Yu Wenliang, Duke of Qi, is the pillar of the Zhou royal family, and Yu Wenwen is the second son. Although he has adopted it, the relationship cannot be broken. With Yu Wen Wen as his protection, Yu Wenliang naturally has no objection. Let’s talk about it...

Isn’t the Yuwen family so active in recruiting surrender and rebellion just to compete with the Yuchi family in the future? The Yuwen family is now weak and has to rely on their dirty old ministers to support the scene, so there is no problem of being untrustworthy.

Dugu Kai could figure it out, and Dugu Sheng could figure it out, but the other party seemed to underestimate them.

"Duke of Xiyang County, do you think that if you don't have any bad luck, you can surrender me?"

"The Dugu General Manager, Ling Zun's original surname, was given the surname "Dugu" back then, and was given the great favor of Dugu, so he did not change back to the surname Li later. Not only did the two still have surnames Dugu, but their son also continued to have surnames Dugu..."

When Yuwen Wen said this, he was still full of confidence: "Li Mu was the Emperor Taizu Yuan Cong back then, and the Yu family was also the right-hand man of the Yuwen family. What's the result?"

"For the sake of the family, you will get off the side of your loyalty and kindness! The two girls from the Lefang are not going to be robbed and they are going to be rejected. Don't you feel bored?"

"Get happy, either kill me and then die the whole family, or be loyal ministers and protect the family anyway. Is it OK? Give me a message!" 8
