Noble First Daughter-in-law

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, not only Yu Wenyuan was stunned, but also Yu Wenzai was shocked and said in astonishment: "Second brother, what do you mean by this?"

Yu Wenye looked at him and said calmly: "Tomorrow is my father's coronation ceremony."

"so what?"

"Although the founding of the Great Dynasty by my father is widely expected, there must still be people in Chang'an City, the Guanzhong area, including other states and counties in the Central Plains who want the old master, or they may not be willing to join us because they have their own thoughts. If here At this time, letting the third brother who failed to guard Taiyuan return to Chang'an City will not only alienate the subjects of Chang'an, shake the people of Guanzhong, but also make everyone in the world laugh."

"..."

"This makes the Dasheng Dynasty bear the shadow of defeat at the beginning of its establishment."

"..."

"So, the third brother cannot enter Tongguan. At least, he must not appear in Chang'an City before retaking Taiyuan!"

"..."

After listening to his words, everyone fell silent.

When there was another voice, it was Yu Wenyuan who spoke, his voice so low that it was almost hoarse: "Yu Mingli."

Eunuch Yu immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty."

Yu Wenyuan said: "Pass this order to tightly block the news of Taiyuan's defeat. No one is allowed to talk about it in Chang'an City. Anyone who violates it will be killed without mercy. In addition, if you pass on my decree, you will immediately have people leave the city overnight and leave Tongguan to meet the King of Qi. Let him station himself on the spot and wait for my new will."

Eunuch Yu said: "Yes!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and went out to deliver the message.

As soon as he left, Yu Wenyuan turned to look at His Highness's two sons. Yu Wenye still lowered his head, with no expression on his stern face; Yu Wenyuan on the other side frowned, but didn't say anything - - Although Yu Wenye's words may sound a bit cold, they are very practical and are the best choice for this emerging Dasheng dynasty and even for the newly defeated Yuwen Cheng.

Therefore, Yu Wenyuan obeyed his words, and Yu Wenzei had nothing to say.

but--

Yu Wenyuan pondered for a long time, then said hesitantly: "You, you guys, really want to send troops?"

"...?"

When Yu Wenye heard this, he suddenly looked up at his father, with a look of surprise on his face, as if he couldn't believe that his father, who had always been brave and fearless in battle, would hesitate in this battle.

But Shang Ruyi on the side looked at the wrinkles between Yu Wenyuan's brows and understood a little bit. He ordered a tight seal on the news and asked Yu Wencheng not to enter Tongguan for the time being. He was indeed worried that the loss of Longxing Land and the news of Taiyuan's defeat would affect The fate of the newly-established dynasty affects people's hearts even more, but he obviously has more concerns about this battle.

After all, his current identity is no longer Duke Sheng Guo, but the emperor.

In the past, Duke Sheng Guo's victory was his own fault, and his defeat was the court's loss. And because of the protection of his ancestors' merits, even if Chu Yang was so afraid of him, he would not kill him easily; but it is different now, he is already the emperor, and it will be tomorrow If the founding emperor, who is about to hold a coronation ceremony, is defeated at this time——

This is indeed the biggest blow to the emerging Dasheng Dynasty!

What's more, if we really want to send troops to Taiyuan this time, it will be no ordinary battle, because there are Xi Tujue and Wang Shao and two groups of troops in Taiyuan City now. I don't know, they are even stronger than Xue Xian's army that overwhelmed Fufeng before. How many times; even if the battle is won, there is still Liang Shide in Luoyang, waiting to reap the benefits. If he takes action, even if he wins the battle in Taiyuan, he will be defeated even more miserably later.

Their chances of winning are really slim.

In this way, just as Yu Wenye said just now, the Dasheng Dynasty will bear the shadow of defeat at the beginning of its establishment and become a weakling in the eyes of the world.

You must know that at this moment, the world is in chaos and the heroes are divided. Even if you really establish a country and proclaim yourself emperor, if you cannot make the world return to its heart and the world surrenders, even if you have the title of emperor, it will be nothing more than a fleeting meteor.

Therefore, the victory or defeat of this battle is of no small importance to Yu Wenyuan.

No wonder he hesitated.

Yu Wenyuan said solemnly: "You should understand that Taiyuan has been lost now. If we can't recover it after sending troops, then -"

After hearing his words, the atmosphere in Baifu Palace became even more suffocating.

Can this battle be fought?

Can you win?

Once this battle is defeated, it will be the most fatal blow to the emerging Dasheng Dynasty, and the current situation may not even be saved.

At this time, Yu Wenye slowly stood up, cupped his hands towards Yu Wenyuan and said, "Father, I have something to say."

Yu Wenyuan glanced at him: "You tell me."

Yu Wenye said: "Father, we must send troops, and this battle must be won!"

"..."

"We have to send troops because Taiyuan is my father's land of Longxing. Even if my father just ordered to block the news, the news of the loss of Taiyuan will soon spread throughout Guanzhong. If even the land of Longxing is If they can't keep it, how can the people here believe that the Dasheng Dynasty can protect them and make them live and work in peace and contentment." "..."

"As for why we have to win—"

His breath sank, but before he could continue speaking, Yu Wenzuo on the side had already continued: "Because Taiyuan is of great significance to us!"

"...!"

Unexpectedly, he would speak at this time, and Yu Wenye was startled.

Yu Wenyuan immediately turned to his eldest son: "Oh?"

Yu Wenzhen said calmly: "With my father's ambition, it is impossible to just settle down and limit the territory to the Guanzhong area. Luoyang is rich and has convenient transportation. It is of great significance to the Dasheng Dynasty. My father has always been paying attention to it." Liang Shide’s intention is also to regain the Eastern Capital one day.”

Yu Wenyuan nodded and said: "Not bad."

Yu Wenzhen said: "To regain the eastern capital, it is not enough to lead troops eastward from Chang'an. The best way is to attack from two directions. This is also the reason why after my father took the city of Chang'an, he still had to leave his third brother and several others behind." The most important reason why thousands of people are stationed in Taiyuan."

"..."

"Now, if Taiyuan is lost, our ability to advance eastward will be weakened by at least half."

Hearing what he said, Yu Wenyuan sighed deeply, but he also knew in his heart that his words were the truth.

Yu Wenye calmly listened to Yu Wenzhen's words. Although his face turned gloomy, he was not too surprised.Although his brother has been away from home these years, there is no doubt about his ability. He can see through this layer without even spending too much thought on him.

but--

Yu Wenye coughed lightly and continued: "Taiyuan is not only important to us, but also to the other party."

Upon hearing his words, Yu Wenyuan's eyes lit up again, and he turned to look at him: "Tell me about it."

Yu Wenye continued: "Father, Liang Shide is a powerful man in Luoyang. He is not a man who lives in a corner. His eyes are always staring at us."

"..."

"And now, he has almost gathered enough power."

Yu Wenyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a ray of light: "What do you mean - Turks?"

"good,"

Yu Wenye said: "Taiyuan is a strategic location where we want to attack Luoyang from two sides, but if it falls into the hands of the opponent, it will have the same effect; and, whether it is Wang Shaoji in Taiyuan or Liang Shide in Luoyang, their There are Turkic forces behind it. Once these forces are completely united -"

Yu Wenyuan's heartbeat suddenly dropped.

Yes, this is why he originally gave a banquet to the heroes who controlled the plague today, but after receiving this urgent military report, he couldn't even drink and started discussing the military situation directly in front of Shen Wuzheng, Pei Xingyuan, and even Su Qinglan. The reason is that Taiyuan is too important to them!
Taiyuan must not be lost!
At this time, he also felt some regret in his heart - he actually handed over such an important Taiyuan to his youngest son Yuwen Cheng to garrison. Obviously Yu Wenye had reminded him before that he could not entrust Yuwen Cheng with important tasks. After all, he was still young. , and had no experience in war, and because he was headstrong, had a bad temper, and was prone to losing big for small things - it was just that at that time, capturing Daxing City was too important to Yu Wenyuan, and Yu Wenye was far away in Jiangdu, and there was no one around him who was more worthy. The people he trusted could stay in Taiyuan, so he had no choice but to hand over Taiyuan to Yu Wencheng.

Unexpectedly, this disaster was left behind.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Yu Wenye - in war, this son was indeed irreplaceable.

However, his military exploits are already very high.

He was able to coordinate himself on important matters such as enthronement and accession to the throne. If he were allowed to win the full power of Taiyuan, I am afraid that he would be the only voice in the court in the future.

After being silent for a long time, Yu Wenyuan finally made up his mind and slowly raised his head. At this time, the two pairs of eyes below and several other blazing gazes had already held their breath and looked at him intently for an unknown amount of time.

"King of Han, King of Qin."

Upon hearing Yu Wenyuan's words, Yu Wenzhen and Yu Wenye hurriedly stood up and stood in the center of Baifu Hall. Although the remaining people did not give instructions, they all stood up one after another, dressed solemnly, and listened to the holy edict.

Yu Wenyuan said: "You two will each lead one hundred thousand troops and set out at dawn tomorrow."

"...!"

When everyone heard this, they all gasped!
Unexpectedly, he would let his two sons go to war at the same time. The Dasheng Dynasty was full of elites; and tomorrow is his coronation ceremony, but he asked his two sons to go out at dawn, which means that they cannot even attend the coronation ceremony. .

It can be seen that his mind has been determined. Since he wants to send troops, he must win!

This shows how important the Battle of Taiyuan is to him at this moment!
Yu Wenzhen and Yu Wenye immediately raised their hands and said: "I obey the order!"

Yu Wenyuan nodded, looked at his two sons who were already in great responsibilities, and said in a deep voice: "I asked you two to go out at the same time, and you should also understand the importance of this battle. Since you want to fight, then Must win!”

"Yes."

"Who can win Taiyuan in this battle——"

Yu Wenyuan raised his chin slightly and said in a deep voice: "I will pass on the position of prince to whomever you want!"
