Chapter 230
As the sky was about to be bright, Yuwen Tianlu woke up after his abilities.
Xiao Jinyan stepped forward to greet him, and Yuwen Tianlu said impatiently, "I can't die, when will it be?" Xiao Jinyan looked at the sky, "Yin Mo."
At the end of Yin, the sky will be bright and not clear, the east will be white, and everything will be silent.
Yuwen Tianlu thought for a moment and pointed to a mountain not far away, saying, "Take me up within half an hour!"
Xiao Jinyan was a little curious, "Aren't we going to Zhaoyao Mountain? We should go northwest. The road here is wrong."
Yuwen Tianlu's face darkened, "My daughter is waiting for me over there!"
When Xiao Jinyan heard this, he immediately became interested. He tied the horse and carried Yuwen Tianlu on his back. He walked as fast as a flying step, running towards the top of the mountain. The mountain was less than three hundred feet high, but the road was dangerous and obstructed, and it was all small paths that seemed not high, but it was really hard to walk, not to mention that there was Yuwen Tianlu on his back.
When he reached the top of the mountain, Xiao Jinyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and watched everywhere, but there was no one else.
"Where is Miss Yuwen?"
Yuwen Tianlu said, "I lied to you."
Xiao Jinyan was everywhere and saw a thin mist, and there was a mist in the middle of the mountain. After a moment, the whiteness in the east was seen, and the sun rose to the east, and the clouds were swelling and magnificent. This scene was no less than climbing Mount Tai to watch the sunrise.
Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but sigh.
Yuwen Tianlu was unmoved by this scene, but his eyes looked southwest. Wherever he looked, there was a ray of fortress of heaven more than ten miles away.
At this time, a line of beacons were rising from the sky, and fires surged into the sky above the city wall, and there were faint figures of people vaguely spreading on it. Yuwen Tianlu's expression became a little solemn.
"Xiao Jinyan, in your eyes, what kind of person am I?"
Xiao Jinyan came to him and looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar. He didn't know what he was trying to keep at this time, so he said, "Yuwenshuang's father."
"What else?"
"The mortal enemy of the Tengwenyuan."
Yuwen Tianlu said, "You boy has a bad view."
Xiao Jinyan said in a stern voice, "I will not hide it from it. The Grand Commander, you are extremely skilled in martial arts and have great power in the world, but you act ruthlessly and viciously, greedy and murderous. You are a real person to kill!"
Yuwen Tianlu actually laughed when he heard this.
Such a smile made Xiao Jinyan feel distressed.
When Li Chuntie was learning art back then, whenever he smiled like this, what he would have waited for was a storm of fist care.
Yuwen Tianlu said, "The people in the world think so many things like you, but I'm afraid you are the number one person, Xiao Jinyan, you are very brave."
"I'm just telling the truth."
Yuwen Tianlu sneered, "The truth? What you said is nothing but what you want to see, and it is not necessarily the truth."
"What's the truth?"
Yuwen Tianlu pondered for a moment, "Li Silang, who was from the family of Li Shangshu in Beijing, was famous in his family, had good character and good looks. At the beginning of the year, I thought it was very good."
Xiao Jinyan smelled the danger, and saw him slapped his thigh and said righteously: "I know the truth. Yuwen Grand Governor is both civil and military, and has a talented person of heaven and earth. He is deeply loved by the saints but is not arrogant because of favor. Although he kills many people, he deserves to die. He is really a model for all officials and a model for the world. Looking at the world, Saint Kong ranks first, Saint Wu ranks second, and Supervisor Yuwen ranks third!"
Yuwen Tianlu said, "This kind of flattery has caught me off guard."
He smiled, "If it is normal, you have a steady personality and are very polite in your behavior. With Li Chuntie's personality, you will definitely not teach you a junior brother. With Shuang'er's personality, you will definitely not like a stupid goose like you. I wonder, has she changed her temperament recently? Xiao Jinyan, these days, I have pretended to be very hard to please me?"
Xiao Jinyan smiled and waved his hand, "Serve your father-in-law."
Yuwen Tianlu raised his hand and wanted to punch him. He remembered that he could not use his internal strength, so he had to give up. "If it were a slick person like you who wanted to marry my daughter twenty years ago, there would be no door."
Xiao Jinyan looked expectant and looked at him with a look of scrutiny, "What about now?"
“No windows either!”
Xiao Jinyan was a little dissatisfied, "Senior, I carried you up from the foot of the mountain, so tired that I was out of breath. But you said this to me when I came up?"
Yuwen Tianlu said, "I just want to marry my husband's daughter, you guys are thinking too much."
"Believe it or not, I'll leave you here and go?"
"Don't believe it."
“Why?”
"Because I am Yuwenshuang's father."
Xiao Jinyan was so tightly controlled by him that he had no temper at all. "You brought me here, isn't it just to tell me these unsavory and unsightly words?"
"Of course not!" Yuwen Tianlu stood up, looked at the sky, and said to himself, "It's almost done."
"What's the same?"
As soon as he spoke, Xiao Jinyan heard a rumbling sound from afar. Looking in the sound, the sound came from Yishitianguan, but no abnormality was found.
Yuwen Tianlu said lightly, "Eight months ago, several Hu merchants transported a large number of iron tools from Hulukou to customs declaration into Xichu. Although they were just shovels, heads, shovels and other ordinary agricultural tools, the number was far exceeding the number stipulated by the imperial court. Moreover, Western Chu was mainly nomadic and could not use these agricultural tools at all. These agricultural tools were detained by the commander on duty. The Hu merchants actually bribed the commander with silver prices exceeding the price of iron tools. The commander felt suspicious and accepted the bribe and released it. He decided to send one person to Xichu to follow the iron tools, but he did not come back as soon as he left."
Xiao Jinyan said in shock, "Lai Ridan, the head of the West Eleventh Guard Army?"
Yuwen Tianlu said in surprise, "Do you know him?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "It's the old man from Feng Jingying."
In Leijiazhuang, Xiao Jinyan heard Lei Zhenyu mention him. This person was originally a scout of Fengying, and was a comrade of Zhao Langjiang back then. Because he was not satisfied by his superiors, he was demoted to the West Eleventh Guard and became a military commander. Later, he disappeared from the West Eleventh Guard. Before, in Shuzhong, Yuwenshuang also mentioned that this time he went to the West Eleventh Guard to investigate the disappearance of a legion commander.
Yuwen Tianlu said, "Yes, this person is a first-class scout in the Western Army. It is most appropriate for him to sneak into Western Chu to carry out this mission. However, after entering, no news came out. Until four months ago, the person who contacted Lai Ridan brought Lai Ridan's handwritten letter with two words on it: Shuiqi."
"That night, the shadow of Xi Chu sneaked into the Western Eleven Guards and killed all the troops of the Eleven Guards. Fortunately, those two words were passed to the capital."
Xiao Jinyan knew about this, and there was already controversy in the West Eleven Guards. When Western Chu occupied the West Eleven Guards, although the court condemned them to the extreme, there was no military action. This incident caused a great sensation in the market.
Yuwen Tianlu continued: "Later, the people who were responsible for observing the Fengyu rewarded the people in the Western Chu Dynasty, and the Western Chu court collected corvee labor for the first time."
Xiao Jinyan said, "Western Chu is mainly nomadic, and does not farm, what should I do if I do labor service?"
"It is claimed to be the management of the Chishui River to the outside world, and the court sent scouts from many parties to enter Western Chu. However, the other party was very strict in the defense, either leaving but not returning, or finding no valuable information. Later, Yuwen Gui sent two masters to infiltrate. After several twists and turns, he discovered that these iron tools and the real purpose of corvee."
Xiao Jinyan was shocked.
In the Dengwenyuan, there was a map of the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty. He was idle at that time. He studied the map with his deputy supervisor Vancouver, and then designated a place to do some paper talks.
Once, they used the western Chu and the Hengduan Mountains of the Ming Dynasty as the boundary, and Xiao Jinyan defended the border with 30,000 people. Vancouver threatened that there was no need for one soldier and one soldier, and that only three thousand soldiers could conquer the first line of the sky.
Xiao Jinyan was dissatisfied.
Vancouver said, "The Chishui River is less than thirty miles away from the first line of heaven. It is high in the west and low in the east. If you find someone who knows water and carriage, use the natural danger to dig trenches and trenches to lead the Chishui River to attack the first line of heaven, you can break it in one day!"
As he said that, he also deduced it himself, leaving Xiao Jinyan speechless, so he still remembers it clearly.
However, this strategy consumes a lot of material and financial resources, and the second is that the terrain of Hengduan Mountain is complex and cannot be achieved without a professional and knowledgeable water pyramid. Third, this matter is quite disturbing and easy to detect. You only need to withdraw your troops for thirty miles, wait for the water to retreat and occupy a line of sky again, so it is limited to talking on paper.
Xiao Jinyan asked, “Is it a digging of a dike?”
Yuwen Tianlu nodded, "Three years ago, a sorcerer went to the capital to seek a title. When the Ministry of Rites met him, he was full of verbal verbalism and arrogant, but he was bombarded by the Ministry of Rites. At that time, he had a saying that the Western Frontier was vulnerable to the defense, and later this person disappeared. Later, someone saw this person in the Western Chu Palace and became the national commander of Western Chu. This plan to flood the first line of heaven was mostly done by him. When the troops stationed in the first line of heaven was originally built by the natural chasm, the first line of heaven was built into a pass that a man could not be opened by tens of thousands of men. Unexpectedly, the natural chasm turned into a smooth road."
Xiao Jinyan was a little puzzled, "Since he knew the other party's plan, why not withdraw from the front line? If he was afraid of losing the gates, he could withdraw most of the troops and only some of the defenders. Once attacked, it would not be too late to come for support."
Yuwen Tianlu showed a solemn look, "Do you know what kind of person you are today?"
Xiao Jinyan thought for a moment and shook his head.
He grew up in the Dean of Dengwen. As the emperor's most confidant secret agency, the emperor who had been in charge of the Ming Dynasty for 20 years had never been to the Dean of Dengwenye once, so Xiao Jinyan had never met Zhu Liye.
During the three festivals every year, the palace will reward many gifts and food boxes. Li Chuntie respectfully takes them every time and then distributes them to the people of the various departments of the Dengwenyuan. Xiao Jinyan and him only live in a thatched cottage in the northwest corner of the Dengwenyuan.
Over the years, Li Chuntie rarely talked about the emperor. Every day, he would drink, and then go crazy. He cursed Yuwen Tianlu in Dengwenyuan, with vulgar words and cursed him for having a son without fucking eyes and having a daughter and not getting married.
Yuwen Tianlu said slowly, "Your Majesty is an opportunist today. When he was the King of Eternal, he was the sixth heir to the throne, but he had a lot of trouble and won the treasure. He was determined to make achievements and achieve great achievements. In his eyes, whether it was 30,000 people or 100,000 Western troops, he was just an ant that he looked down on the world."
Although it was not stated clearly, Xiao Jinyan had already felt that the 30,000 troops in the first tier of the sky might become an abandoned son on the road to the emperor's battle for hegemony.
Xiao Jinyan was in a heavy mood and felt a little angry. Yuwen Tianlu knew this, but refused to make any changes. For a moment, he also felt disgusted towards Yuwen Tianlu.
He said coldly: "Dingzhou massacres the city and the flooding of the Western Army in front of him, is the Great Governor Yuwen the butcher knife in his hand?"
Yuwen Tianlu sighed, "After all, you will understand."
The roar in the distance became louder and louder.
In recent days, the water level of Chishui River in Yinyang City has not increased, but the water level of the upper reaches has soared. When the Western Chu army dug the river embankment, the heavy water that had accumulated for many days roared and rushed towards the sky with mud and stones.
Xiao Jinyan looked at the beacon tower, and red smoke ignited, soaring into the sky, and there was a mess on the city.
In a blink of an eye, the entire Yishi Tianguan block was flooded by a torrent.
