Noble First Daughter-in-law

Taiyuan was lost!
These four words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the vast Baifu Hall, shocking everyone for a moment.

Although the banquet had just begun, and everyone only had time to drink a glass of wine, their thoughts were already spinning a thousand times. Even though they had different thoughts, at this time everyone had the same idea in their minds -

how is this possible! ?
how can that be possible?
Just a few days ago, Princess Qiancheng sent them a letter, and they also made a judgment on the situation at hand, and sent a letter to Yuwencheng who was guarding Taiyuan, asking him to be prepared to fortify the city. If Ashina Tsari really used troops against Taiyuan, Taiyuan's city defense would be enough to last until the reinforcements from Chang'an arrived.

This is also the safest decision at the moment.

But no one expected that Taiyuan would be lost in just a few days!

How could it be lost?How could it be so fast! ?
Yu Wenye's eyes turned red for a moment, but before he could say anything, Yu Wenzhen across from him had already asked eagerly: "Taiyuan fell? What about the third brother?"

He was probably too anxious. He asked directly at this time, forgetting the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. Fortunately, Yu Wenyuan didn't worry too much at the moment. He only looked up at him and said solemnly: "He is fine for the time being."

"..."

"This letter was delivered by him on horseback."

Hearing this, Yu Wenzhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, his face became a little ugly, especially when he felt that after hearing Yu Wenyuan's words, the faces of everyone in the hall, even Su Qinglan, who did not understand military affairs at all, changed their faces. Obviously, they all thought of Asked a question——

Since Yu Wencheng, who was guarding Taiyuan, was fine, how could Taiyuan be lost?Moreover, would it be lost so quickly?
Finally, it was Yu Wenye who spoke: "Father, what happened over there in Taiyuan? Even if Ashina Tsari personally sent troops, Taiyuan City's defenses are strong, and there is - the third brother, guarding it with Huang Gongyi, It can’t be lost so fast!”

Yu Wenyuan's face turned even more ugly.

At this time, he didn't care about the banquet that was originally to reward those who had helped control the plague. He didn't even care that there were three women at the banquet. He only said solemnly: "It's not just the Western Turks who attacked Taiyuan."

"what!?"

When they heard this, everyone was shocked.

Looking at each other, there is only one pair of eyes, which can remain calm and collected under the surface expression of panic.

Of course, this kind of calmness and composure also completely fell into the bright, restrained eyes of Shang Ruyi sitting opposite her. She looked at Yu Mingyue calmly and listened carefully to every word Yu Wenyuan said. , the hands on the table were clenched slightly unconsciously, and the palms were covered with cold sweat.

Yu Wenye said in a deep voice: "Besides the Turks, who else is there?"

Yu Wenyuan glanced at him, his eyes a little deeper than before, and then said solemnly: "And, Wang Shaoji!"

"what?!"

This time it was not Yu Wenye who spoke, but Shang Ruyi, who had been staring at Yu Mingyue opposite. She seemed like she couldn't believe her ears. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, she still couldn't help but her breathing and heartbeat were messed up. As soon as she spoke, Only then did she realize that she had overstepped her bounds, and hurriedly said: "Father, please forgive me."

Yu Wenyuan waved his hand lightly.

He did not blame Shang Ruyi. After all, his daughter-in-law was not a delicate nephrite. She had participated in the battles in Yanmen County and Fufeng County. The battle between her and Yu Wenye and Wang Shaoji was not the first time. Once.

Yu Wenyuan said in a deep voice: "Wang Shaoji led an army of 40 people to the north from Jiangdu. However, along the way, the soldiers kept running away and scattered. At present, he only has less than 20 soldiers and horses left."

"..."

"Originally, we thought that his strength would continue to weaken. By the time he arrived in Luoyang or Chang'an, even if he had soldiers and horses, he would no longer be afraid. But we did not expect that he would actually collude with the Turks. Three days ago, he They sent people to sneak into Taiyuan City, disguised as guards and opened the city gate in the middle of the night. The Turkic soldiers took the opportunity to attack the city. Our people——"

At this point, his voice became hoarse.

Of course, there is no need to say what follows.Since Taiyuan had been lost, even if the defenders in the city discovered the enemy's situation and resisted that night, they must have suffered heavy casualties and were ultimately defeated by the two enemies' attacks before retreating from the city.

Yu Wencheng is still alive. Thinking about it now, he is lucky!
At this time, Yu Wenye's brows had turned into a knot. He thought for a moment, then immediately raised his head and asked: "Father, how many soldiers and horses does the third brother have? Where is he now? In Taiyuan City What is the current situation? Is it mentioned in the letter? Also, what is the reaction from Liang Shide?"

Yu Wenyuan glanced at him.

Although the second son obviously played a role in Chu Chengfei's abdication, which made him very dissatisfied, at this time, when he asked these questions, Yu Wenyuan could not suppress it. That little bit of joy and relief in my heart.

The first three questions were asked very clearly - asking how many soldiers and horses Yu Wencheng still has under his command was naturally to gather the remnant soldiers who had returned from Taiyuan; asking Yuwen Cheng's current position was not only to care about this younger brother, but also to figure out where to go. We are always there to support you; asking about the current situation in Taiyuan City is to know yourself and the enemy.

These questions are preparing to take Taiyuan back!
Even if Yu Wenyuan will ascend the throne here tomorrow, and Chang'an will be the capital of his Dasheng Dynasty from now on, Taiyuan must not be lost, because it is the land of Longxing!

In just a moment, Yu Wenye clarified his thoughts and asked these three most useful questions - he is indeed a born warrior!

However, Yu Wenyuan did not show too many clear emotions. He only coughed lightly and answered the last question first: "Liang Shide has not made any moves for the time being. It seems that he should be willing to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. , wait until we send out troops to fight with Taiyuan to achieve a result, and then reap the benefits."

Yu Wenye slowly frowned.Yu Wenyuan glanced down at the scrawled letter again, which was obviously written in a hurry, sighed, and then said: "Cheng'er and the others left in a hurry, and after they left, the gate of Taiyuan City was closed. , no more news came out. But at least what we know now is that there are two groups of Ashina Zari and Wang Shaoji in the city. After Cheng'er left Taiyuan with his people, he kept heading west, but because there was a pursuit behind him, Their cavalry is walking very hard, and they are afraid that it will take another two or three days to reach Tongguan; and in his hands - "

Having said this, he paused and said: "Currently there are about... 3 to [-] horses."

Hearing these last words, Yu Wenye's eyes suddenly darkened.

Yu Wenyuan's face is so ugly, it can be seen from the letter that Yu Wencheng must not have brought many people, and according to Yu Wencheng's personality, he must not tell the truth, and the loss will be minimized; however, even if In this way, there are only 3 to [-] horses...

That is, in fact, probably less than five thousand.

You know, Yu Wenyuan originally left 8 or 10,000 men and horses for Yu Wencheng, and also asked Huang Gongyi to stay in Taiyuan, just to guard the rear area, but now, only [-]+ men and horses are left——

lost heavily!

lost heavily! ! !

Yu Wenye said nothing, but the hand on the table had been clenched into a fist, and the veins on the back of his hand were popping. He tried his best to endure it, and you could even hear the snapping sound of his finger bones.

Yu Wenzhen also raised his head and glanced at him.

But he didn't say anything more. He just lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said to Yu Wenyuan: "Father, what are your plans?"

By this time, Yu Wenyuan had also calmed down. Although losing Taiyuan was indeed a bolt from the blue for him, the matter was now here, and how to deal with it and how to solve it was the most important thing.He calmed down and looked at Yu Wenzhen and Yu Wenye, as well as Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan sitting beside them, and then said, "I also want to hear your opinions."

"..."

"How do you think we should deal with the loss of Taiyuan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in Baifu Hall.

However, it was only for a moment, and no one even had time to notice the passage of this moment. The next moment, two voices sounded almost at the same time——

"Father!"

"Father."

After the sound, Yu Wenzhen and Yu Wenye seemed startled, subconsciously stopped, looked at each other, and immediately said at the same time——

"My son, please fight!"

"My son, please fight."

However, compared to Yu Wenzhen's relatively gentle voice, Yu Wenye's voice seemed much harder and colder. Although he spoke at the same time, his voice immediately suppressed Yu Wenzhen's voice, as if he was the only one in the hall. It's like a person talking.

However, Yu Wenyuan naturally heard what both parties said clearly.

Not only could he hear it clearly, but he could even hear the emotions in his words clearly.

But at this time, except for the two of them, the faces of several other people showed different expressions. Yu Mingyue frowned and looked at Yu Wensu next to her, while Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, although there was nothing on his face. There was a layer of sweat on his forehead, but there was already a layer of sweat on his forehead.

That familiar feeling that made her heart palpitate came to her again.

On the other hand, Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan looked at each other. They were a little surprised, but not surprised. They looked at Yu Wenyuan again with burning eyes.

At this moment, it depends on how he chooses.

Yu Wenyuan pondered for a while, then raised his head, looked at Yu Wenzhen, and then at Yu Wenye. After all, his eyes stayed on the second son for a little longer. After all, he was the one he was most familiar with over the years. , it is the child who is following him. His aura is getting calmer and calmer. Although his stern eyes are bright and restrained, the sharpness and strength of a military commander cannot be concealed no matter what.

After a long silence, he said: "Do you think we should send troops?"

"Yes."

"You all want to lead the troops yourself?"

"Yes."

After answering Yu Wenyuan's question, Yu Wenye immediately said: "Not only do I want to ask for a battle, but I also ask my father to send a letter immediately to prevent my third brother from entering Tongguan."
