Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 924 By chance, there are two

Yu Wenye raised his head and asked, "I dare to ask, my father, will we continue to use troops against the Eastern Capital, or will we abandon the Central Plains?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenyuan frowned.

He didn't expect that Yu Wenye would ask the most penetrating question directly at once - in fact, after the death of Lord Shenwu, his heart was indeed desolate and desolate. At certain times, he even thought of giving up the eastward march. He only clung to the thought of a quiet corner of Guanzhong, but the desire in his heart and the urgency of the current situation made this thought instantly shattered.

He knew very well that if he didn't fight out, sooner or later, Liang Shide would come in.

His ambitions should never stop at Guanzhong.

So he said coldly: "What do you mean by asking this?"

Yu Wenye said: "My son needs my father's answer."

Yu Wenyuan's brows knitted into a knot, but he still took a deep breath and said: "Since I have sent troops, I naturally want to win. There is no reason to give up on the Central Plains now."

"That's good,"

Yu Wenzhen stood motionless, but the hands in his sleeves were already clenched into fists.

"It's natural."

Yu Wenyuan fell silent.

"..."

"..."

Yu Wenzhen on the side heard this, and his face sank slightly.

Yu Wenye nodded, and without waiting for Yu Wenyuan to ask another question, he immediately asked: "Where do you dare to ask your father again, if you want to continue to use troops, how should we use them?"

Yu Wenye said: "In other words, the next time my father sends troops, he will still have to start from Cijian."

He originally thought that Yu Wenye would beg Yu Wenyuan not to punish Shen Tutai and Shen Wuzheng based on the fact that he had defended Cijian, the future base. , coupled with Shen Tutai's sensitive origin and identity, as long as someone adds fuel to the fire, Yu Wenyuan will definitely not spare Shen Tutai, the "remnant" of Wanggang Village!

However, Yu Wenye missed the breakthrough of "the merits and demerits balance each other", and instead implicated the people they led.

"Father, I believe that although we lost our troops in this defeat, we still have an important town in Cijian to rely on. This place is guarded by Shen Tutai and Shen Wuzheng. If our father wants to punish their crimes, then we can stay with them in Cijian." Should all the people in Jian be condemned together?"

Yu Wenyuan's face showed obvious displeasure. After all, as the emperor, he was the only one who asked questions and others answered them, but this son kept asking him questions again and again. But he was still patient and said solemnly: "Of course we will send more troops and horses to help Cijian."

You know, military morale is the most important thing on the frontline battlefield. Now, even if the battle report sent back by Yuwen Cheng puts it mildly, he knows that it is a disastrous defeat, and the loss is definitely more than the 50,000 people written in the emergency report. Nearly half was lost. If the deputy general manager of the march and the record office were punished at this time for joining the army, would the group of people who followed them to stick to Cijian shake the morale of the army?
If these people shake the morale of the army, can they continue to defend Cijian?

If Cijian cannot be defended, how can this battle be fought?
Sure enough, although Yu Wenyuan didn't speak, his eyes flickered violently, as if his heart was surging at the moment, but there was still no anger on his face. Only after being silent for a long time, he slowly He slowly raised his eyes and glanced at Yuwen Sui: "Su'er, what do you think?"

After struggling for a long time, he finally said: "What my second brother said makes sense."

"..."

"Father, military morale is important."

Yu Wenyuan took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, military morale is important." "..."

"I don't have to punish them, but Shen Tutai can no longer lead troops, nor can he serve as deputy marching commander."

"..."

"The top priority is to send more troops to Cijian immediately, so that King Qi cannot be surrounded by Liang Shide's army."

Yu Wenye raised his head: "I wonder who my father is going to send?"

Yu Wenyuan glanced at him, his expression condensed slightly, but he still looked away. Yu Wenyuan on the side took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Father, I recommend this person to you."

Yu Wenyuan immediately said: "Who?"

Yu Wensuo said: "Ningyuan General Lou Yingxiong."

Hearing his words, Yu Wenyuan didn't seem surprised, but still hesitated for a moment, and Yu Wenye had already turned his head to look at Yu Wenzhen, his eyes were indifferent with a bit of sharpness, and said: "My brother has always thought that the emperor is a man of merit. I didn’t expect that General Ning Yuan would be recommended this time.”

Yu Wen said in confusion: "Recommending him, doesn't it mean he is just a man on merit?"

"..."

"As the saying goes, one should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. Although he is Lou Liangdi's father, the second brother should not have forgotten that he once guarded Anyang for several years. It is said that the current Lieutenant General has fought against the people of Wanggangzhai. , even you, the second brother, don’t do it as often as he does.”

Yu Wenye said: "This time we sent troops to attack Liang Shide. How does it have anything to do with Wanggang Village?"

Yu Wenzhen said: "But Liang Shide and the men and horses of Wanggangzhai have already merged into one. What's more, Jiang Tao and Liang Youying have also escaped. If I guessed correctly, they should have returned to Luoyang. By that time , didn’t we just meet it?”

After saying that, without waiting for Yu Wenye to say anything else, he immediately turned to Yu Wenyuan and said, "Father, I believe that the people in Wanggang Village should not be allowed to take advantage of this opportunity!"

Yu Wenyuan listened to their words and was struggling to think in his heart. Lou Yingxiong did have the most fights with the people from Wanggangzhai and were the most familiar with each other. However, over the years, he had fought without success, so he might not be able to win this battle. If If the Eastern Front is defeated again, he will no longer be able to move eastward. By then, the situation will be very difficult.

However, Yu Wenzhen's last words also reminded him.

Why is Shen Tutai so bold?
Did Jiang Wei and Liang Youying really return to Luoyang and join forces with Liang Shide and Xiao Yuansui?
What role does Yu Wenye play in this?
He looked deeply at the two sons in front of him. These two sons were both civilized and martial, but they were both amazingly talented and had made extraordinary achievements. If there was only one of them, any father would be satisfied, and it would be enough to succeed in the future. In such troubled times, rely on him to make contributions and achieve immortal achievements.

But now, he has two.

As it happened, there were two.

Because of the two of them, not only was he not satisfied, but he felt extremely troubled. It seemed that taking one more step in either direction would cause the sky to fall and the earth to collapse, and even this dynasty, which was just born and had not yet fully established itself, to collapse. .

Thinking of this, Yu Wenyuan suddenly felt a splitting headache. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, with a look of pain on his face.

"Well!"

As soon as he saw him like this, Eunuch Yu hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Wenzhen and Yu Wenye also took a step forward at the same time: "Father!"
