Chapter 158 Reconsideration
In the morning, in the military camps in the suburbs of Xiakou City, soldiers ran around the circle with slogans. In a temporary bathhouse surrounded by step obstacles, Yu Wenwen walked out with a wooden basin equipped with clothes and took a cold shower. He was so refreshing and fit.
кanshuge.

Those who are waiting for a shower outside will have already lined up. After the morning exercise, sweating and incense are stopped for a while. It would be more comfortable to take a cold shower.
Yuwen Wen saw Liu Boer, the leader of the horse army, and smiled and said, "Liu Boer, weren't you punished to run away? Why did you run away so quickly?"
"Maintain, the last general has finished running, really!"
"Take it, you can't run with two legs if you ride a horse for too long. How can you run so fast? Did you sneak up on it?"
"I dare not!"
"If you sneak a sneak peek and let me catch it, you will run three more laps!"
After joking with the soldiers, Yuwen Wen returned to the big tent. Yang Ji had been waiting outside the tent for a long time. He had just returned to Xiyang from Qikou. He heard that Yuwen Wen had arrived at Xiakou, so he came to report on military information by boat.
Yuwen Wen was stationed outside the city, and the soldiers did not enter the city to stay. As the commander, he naturally would not enter the city to stay. When Yang Ji arrived yesterday, he was going to pay a visit, but Yuwen Wen wanted to meet too many people, and it was not his turn that day.
As the chief supervisor of Huangzhou, Yuwen Wen led his troops to fight for several months. Now he has finally returned to the territory of the Huangzhou chief supervisory office and quickly take time to resolve the backlog of affairs, otherwise he will not be able to calm down when he arrives in Anlu.
The assistant of the General Administration Office came to Xiakou on a boat to report to Yuwen Wen. It was a struggle until the evening stopped, and Yang Ji could only spend one night in the military camp.
"What's going on with Chen State?"
"According to detailed reports, because civil unrest and fleeing, the Chen army in Jiangzhou has sent several young and strong men back home because they are afraid that these people will be desperate to be our army's supporters."
Yuwen Wen thought for a while and said, "The information we have carefully investigated can be confirmed by each other, and the evidence alone will not be established."
"More than one person did it carefully, and the news he found was like this. It was not the strategy of Chen State." Yang Ji sighed here, "The people of Chen State are almost unable to withstand the years of corvee service."
"I think you're almost unable to hold back. Your eyes are black and your face is tired. You're not worried that someone will attack you. You can't even sleep well when you patrol day and night, right?"
"Duke! The safety of Qikou is not a joke. Once Chen's army attacked, the soldiers pointed directly at Xiyang..."
"You have Xisai Mountain and Wu Zhoushu after Qikou are over. You are too sensitive! Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. You are suspicious all day long, and you will be exhausted sooner or later! Yang Sima!"
Isn't you the same!
Yang Ji complained in his heart that Yuwen Wen returned to Shannan, and he could finally let go of his heart. Now the situation in Zhou State is very good, and he is afraid that if the gutter is caught in the accident, if Xiyang is successfully attacked by Chen's army, the good situation will be ruined.
Yang Ji did not feel any regrets when he failed to follow the army to fight and make contributions to Guanzhong. Helping Yuwen Wen defend Huangzhou is also an important task. Now that this person is back, he can at least breathe a sigh of relief and have a good sleep.
"Tell me what you think, how I will deal with the current situation."
"Duke, you can't eat too much. Please stay in the south of the mountain and watch the changes. You must be both guarding the south and the north, and don't attack without authorization."
"Defend to the North? What's the movement of the court?" Yuwen Wen asked knowingly that if the Sui Kingdom is over, the main contradiction will sooner or later change. As the saying goes, the intention of guarding others is necessary. When he comes back, he will defend the south and the north.
"Prime Minister Yuchi came to Yingyang in person. I think the government army broke through the Huzhu and took Luozhou for a short time. If the government army advances westward, everyone will be happy. I am afraid of it..."
"The probability is very small, but not without it, so I went back to Shannan to stay in Anlu, and Xiyang has no time to go back. You, go back and have a good rest."
"Duke, if Prime Minister Yuchi ordered the Duke to go to Yingyang to discuss matters, or not?"
One of the things that Yang Ji was most worried about was that Yuchi Jiong would use a trick to "tran away from the mountain" regardless of his face. At that time, Yuwen Wen was placed under house arrest in Yingyang, Yuwen Liang and Yuwenming were far away in Guanzhong, and there were no leaders in the south of the mountain, so it was easy for someone to take advantage of the situation.
Yuwen Wen answered without thinking: "Go, of course you have to go. How can you not summon the Prime Minister? But you can fall off a horse and break your legs halfway through, and you can't do anything!"
The simple and crude response must be very effective. Yang Ji glanced at Yuwen Wen and thought about the answer so quickly. I was afraid that he had thought that this situation might happen in his mind.
After talking about the conspiracy, Yuwen Wen briefly talked about the situation of the war in Guanzhong. The two of them thought that the Sui Kingdom would be over sooner or later, so how should we go about the future? It should be made early arrangements for how to go.
The course of history has changed significantly now. It is becoming increasingly difficult to rely on the records in history books to turn bad luck into good fortune. Yang Ji has lost the ability to "prophecy", and Yuwen Wen is not much better.
The only thing that can be relied on is beyond the knowledge of this era and the army that can be fought in hand. Of course, the more soldiers the better, but this requires food support. However, the current Huangzhou General Administration does not store too much grain and cannot support too many troops.
"Duke, if the court recovered the lost territory, he might have rested for a while. The next step to do is probably to rush troops south to pacify Chen. Calculate the time, which is probably the same as the year when the Sui Kingdom pacified Chen."
Anyway, no one eavesdropped outside, and the two said that "the Sui State pacified Chen back then" was not inconsistent. Yuwen Wen and Yang Jiming were superiors and subordinates, but they did not call themselves "lower officials" and "original officials" when they talked in private.
"Peng Chen? It is not certain that when the Sui Kingdom was destroyed. If the remnants of the territory of Shu were still under the control of the land of Shu, what do you think?"
"The view below is very simple. Sui State will be destroyed sooner or later. After that, the court will inevitably use troops against Chen. Prime Minister Yuchi has great power, and the commander will definitely not be favored by outsiders."
"As the chief supervisor of Huangzhou, the Duke of the State is in a critical position. According to the current military system, it is very likely that he will be appointed as the chief supervisor of the army. He will only be responsible for suppressing Jiangzhou and attacking Jiankang. "
"Who cares about Jiankang? According to history... Well, after pacifying Chen, it will take at least ten years to calm down. If my goal is set in Jiankang... do you like fishing in Jiankang?"
"Duke of the Kingdom! Shen Sheng died inside, Chong'er was at peace outside. Instead of being summoned to the capital to be an official in the capital, it is better to train troops and accumulate grain in other places."
"So what you mean is to have the idea of Jiangnan? Or try to stay in Jiangnan to quell the rebellion?"
Yang Ji nodded and said yes, the current situation is that Yuwen Wen wants to take charge in Anlu, whether it is attacking Shu or entering Long, he will basically have no chance of fighting against Sui in the future.
The next opportunity is to fight against Chen. Yuwen's family must "grab" the territory no matter what, and make plans for the future. Then Yuwen can rely on the advantage of the territory to get a close-to-water building and get the moon first.
"You mean to take down Jiangzhou?"
"It is precisely because the three Wu areas where Jiankang is located have a prosperous economy, a large number of farmland and population, which is the essence of Jiangnan. Prime Minister Yuchi will inevitably let his confidants guard it."
"If the Duke of the State takes over Jiangzhou and is in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, he will be in the top of Mount Tai in Jiankang. If the contradictions in the future intensify, with the river and yellow land, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River can be pinched to death."
"Jiangzhou has a large population. To the east is the land of the Three Wus, to the south is Guangzhou, to the west is Ba, the hometown of Xiangyu and rice. Below I think that taking Jiangzhou is the pillar of the foundation of the Duke."
When Yuwen Wen heard this, he asked: "The territory is all in Jiangnan. If something goes wrong, do you ask me to secede Jiangnan and close the door to proclaim himself emperor? Is this self-deception trick interesting?"
"The Duke of the State built high walls and accumulated grain. Without enough territory, population and food, where can he raise troops? Where can he compete for the world without enough troops?"
"Let's talk! Do you think there are many people in Jiangnan now? A large county in Hebei can even have a population of 100,000 households. What about Jiangnan? Except for the big cities in the Three Wus, where can there be so many people elsewhere?"
"There are lakes, rivers, and swamps everywhere. When the heavy rain occurs, heavy water will flood the farmland. There are schistosomiasis everywhere. How much manpower does it take to organize to manage it?"
"Zhao Gou was able to stay in Hangzhou because the two lakes and lakes were developed by the Li Tang for hundreds of years and it was not until the Song Dynasty that it began to become a granary. Now you tell me how to accumulate grain in Jiangnan?"
"The Duke of the State must have a solution, I believe it without doubt!"
