Turbulent Times Chapter 1638: The panicked Yu Wenzhi and

Danyang County, the ancestral home of the Yuwen family.

Yu Wenzhi and Yu Wenxin and others held an urgent meeting regarding Wang Junlin's sudden arrival in Yangzhou.

"Uncle, I just got the news that Huang Shaoqiu has led 50,000 sailors up the Yangtze River." Yu Wenzhi looked solemn, with engraved hatred in his eyes.

Yu Wenxin stroked his beard, drank a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Since we have gone to Xiao Ju's territory, it seems that the information we received a few days ago is correct. A secret alliance was formed to attack the Far Eastern Army entering Bashu, and Huang Shaoqiu led the navy there, probably to deter Xiao Ju, so that he would not send troops northward to attack Xu Shiji with Li Shimin."

Compared to Yuwen Zhiji, Yu Wenxin doesn't have so much hatred for Wang Junlin.

To be honest, even in the dead of night, Yu Wenxin secretly thanked Wang Junlin for destroying Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenhua and his father and son, and arranged for Huang Shaoqiu and Xu Jingzong to destroy Yu Wenzhi and his rebellion in Yangzhou.

Otherwise, given that Yu Wenxin is only a collateral branch of the Yuwen clan, how could he be in charge of the Yuwen family together with Yu Wenzhiji as he is now, and even in Danyang County, he has the final say, not Yuwen Zhiji.

This is of course because when Yu Wenzhi fled from Yangzhou to Danyang County, he only brought more than 2,000 people with him.

Yu Wenzhi pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Although I wish I could tear Wang Junlin into pieces, I have to admit that with Wang Junlin's current power, if he just wants to deter Xiao Ju from not entering Bashu, It is not necessary for him to come to Yangzhou in person, after all, for Wang Junlin, his biggest enemy right now is still Li Yuan and his son in Guanzhong."

Yu Wenxin paused for a while while stroking his beard, his expression became a little more solemn, and he said, "Zhiji, you mean that Wang Junlin wants to attack our Danyang County."

Yu Wenzhi said very firmly: "Even if Wang Junlin doesn't come to Yangzhou, he will definitely attack our Danyang County. It's just a matter of time."

Yu Wenxin thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Zhiji, you said that Wang Junlin will attack us sooner or later, I believe this, but Wang Junlin's troops in Yangzhou and Dongyang counties will not exceed 80,000. Now Huang Shaoqiu leads 50,000 people are going to scare Xiao Ju, and the remaining 30,000 people will be stationed in Yangzhou and Dongyang counties. There is no extra troops to attack our Danyang County. From my point of view, even if we want to attack our Danyang County, we have to wait for Bashu. After the local battle is over, wait for Huang Shaoqiu to bring people back."

Yu Wenzhiji thought about it for a while, and felt that although what his uncle said made some sense, he still thought it was not that simple. Judging from his experience in fighting Wang Junlin over the years, since Wang Junlin came here in person After leaving Yangzhou, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to their Yuwen family.

It's just that it's useless for him to think this way, because no matter what he wants to do in Danyang County, he must first convince this uncle.

This feeling of being under the control of others and being dependent on others, to be honest, Yu Wenzhi disliked it so much that he often had an impulse to kill his uncle and seize military power.

No way, now they have 80,000 people in Danyang County, of which he has the final say, only 20,000 people. The only direct descendant of the family who is alive today, in this Danyang

The county does not have much say.

"In that case, my nephew will leave, uncle, please take care of yourself." Yu Wenzhi stood up from his seat, cupped his fists and saluted Yu Wenxin. .

Yu Wenzhi remembered how respectful and careful the old guy was when he saw him when his father was still alive, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, the hatred in his heart deepened, and he turned his head and left.

When he was out of the conference hall, and only his confidant was left beside him, Yu Wenzhiji couldn't help cursing anymore: "Old man, I'll kill you sooner or later."

……

……

"No, you still need to be prepared. No matter how cautious you are when facing Wang Junlin, you can't be too cautious." After returning to his mansion, Yu Wenzhi became more and more worried.

Yu Wenzhi didn't tell anyone that when he learned that Wang Junlin had come to Yangzhou, he had a faint feeling that a catastrophe was imminent.

"It's just that Yu Wenxin's men and horses are stationed in several counties and military strongholds outside Danyang County. I'm afraid they won't listen to what the lord says." A confidant of staff said beside him.

Yu Wenxin was worried that Yu Wenzhi would start a war without authorization, so he only gave Yu Wenzhi and a county in the inner hinterland for his army to station.

This is mainly because Yu Wenxin himself has little ambition, and he is already satisfied with the territory of a county in Danyang County. Of course, this is also a manifestation of self-knowledge.

Yu Wenzhi thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Although this old man is too hateful, he is now a grasshopper on the same line as us. Let the Far Eastern Army head straight in, and we will be finished sooner or later, so we still need to send some people to Yangzhou and Dongyang counties to investigate and see if Wang Junlin has any troops in his possession. If the Far Eastern Army wants to fight here, we You can also know the first time."

………

………

In the 16th year of Daye, in the first ten days of April, in the hinterland of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, where the rainforest is densely covered, a group of apes flew around the tall tree crowns, looking for various fruits that are ripe or still a little green.

A little monkey climbed to the tip of a branch, and its two big eyes looked curiously at the broad Yangtze River. A long fleet of ships was passing on it. The draft of the boat was not very deep, but it was full of people. To be precise, it was It was full of soldiers.

On the largest ship in the fleet, the sailors and soldiers were all busy, but Huang Shaoqiu was bored, standing at the bow and looking around, with a depressed expression on his face...

"The doggy Liang Guo that Xiao Ju can really bear it, we are so wanton in their territory, and we don't send sailors to stop it, let alone we send people to land, do we really want to go ashore to attack? The city will fail."

Huang Shaoqiu is eager to fight, eager for military exploits, but unfortunately there is no battle to fight in front of him, of course he can go to attack the city, but Wang Junlin's order made it very clear that he must win the battle in a short time and cannot be in a stalemate with the enemy.

But the problem is, their Far East Army is powerful, but the Liang State, which has already occupied half of Sichuan and most of the southwest, is also a giant, no matter in terms of military strength, financial resources, or territory, it is not weaker than the northern Guanzhong Li Yuan Group.

"Forget it, let's take it as a guide for the brothers to enjoy the scenery along the coast of Dachang. At least Xiao Ju is scared so that he dare not send troops north to get involved in Bashu."

"However, having said that, the three counties in the south of the land of Sichuan and Shu seem to have been occupied by Xiao Ju, should we take the opportunity to seize them!

Huang Shaoqiu was very conflicted. Of course he knew why Wang Junlin gave such an order, because even the Far Eastern Army could not fight in several places at the same time. The main reason for this was that the consumption of food, grass, weapons and equipment was too high, not that there were not enough troops. .

Unless Huang Shaoqiu is able to rely on the enemy for food in the next battle, and on the basis of carrying with the team now, he does not need to supplement the Far East Army's weapons and equipment and ordnance.

"But the lord didn't say anything to death, it's up to me to decide whether to fight or not."

Huang Shaoqiu's deputy Bai Xiaobo obviously understood his general's thoughts, and said with a smile: "General, this land in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed full of lush forests, and there are hordes of wild beasts. There are clams in the Sui Dynasty, and there is no danger of famine. It's strange. Not many years of troubled times, the north is full of refugees, ten rooms and nine empty, but Jiangnan has not heard how many people died of starvation. My parents and four brothers did not say that they could come to the south of the big river four years ago. Even if they are on the north side of the big river, there is no need I'm hungry."

Speaking of which, four years ago today, Bai Xiaobo was still hungry in Shandong, but now he is the deputy general of a large army of the Far East Army.

Every time Bai Xiaobo thinks about the experience of the past few years, it feels like a dream.

It is true that Bai Xiaobo was reduced to a refugee back then, but he was born in a small aristocrat in Shandong Province full of humanity.

It's just that in troubled times, even a powerful family may perish, and it's really normal for a small noble to be reduced to a refugee.

At that time, Bai Xiaobo's family heard that Fanyang County was rich and had food to eat, so their whole family went to Fanyang County. Unfortunately, the journey was far away. When the whole family finally reached Fanyang County, only he and his sister survived. His parents and several older brothers starved to death because they gave him and his sister the last bit of food.

Fortunately, he saw the entrance examination of Fanyang College in Fanyang County, so he went to take the exam, and he passed the exam. In his dream, he changed from a piggy-like refugee who was about to starve to death at any time, into a person who was rejected even in Fanyang County. Fan Yang College student that people envy.

The trajectory of his later life was simple. His already good intelligence and foundation, coupled with his desperate efforts, made him stand out in Fanyang College, and he was recommended to the Snake Island Officer Training Base for a year of further study. After graduating with excellent grades, he immediately became a low-level officer in the Sea Shark Battalion of the Far East Army.

Nearly two years ago, in the battle where Yangzhou Yu Wenzhi rebelled and forced Yang Guang to death but was stolen by Xu Jingzong and Huang Shaoqiu, Bai Xiaobo made a great contribution, and later made another great contribution in attacking Dongyang County, and He showed excellent talent, so in just three years, he jumped several levels and became the deputy general of the Sea Shark Battalion.

Even Wang Junlin knew the name of Bai Xiaobo, because Nie Xiaoyu mentioned it in front of him. At that time, Bai Xiaobo had just graduated, and Nie Xiaoyu said that Bai Xiaobo was very good, and he felt like a proud student.

A simple five-character comment, but said by Nie Xiaoyu, who cherishes words like gold, deserves everyone's attention to Bai Xiaobo.

At that time, Wang Junlin asked Nie Xiaoyu to think carefully about whether there was one named Bai Xiaobo among those awesome figures in the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Nie Xiaoyu said no.
