Chapter 259 The most awesome old man
Gongsun Shang naturally had his own way. Hongfu just had to force him to nowhere to retreat, so a meal of tea easily solved the normal excessive problem of Yingbin Building.
In fact, it is not as difficult as Gongsun Shang thought, because Yang Jian instructed Yang Guang to take over the Yingbin Tower in secret, and Yang Guang's handling of this matter made Yang Jian very relieved and satisfied.
Because even he couldn't find any traces or shadows of Yang Guang in Yingbin Tower, he knew very well that Yingbin Tower was already his second child!
The second brother's skills and methods made him sigh that he was really old. Although he was not yet 40 years old, it was the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period and was the time to achieve great success.
However, not all the five kings who have been deposed, and not all the throwing Zhu Manyue into the cold palace. You should know that although Yuwen Yun spent his two or three years on life, he had a great country with great power, but just over three years ago when Emperor Wu was a Martial Emperor, the Great Zhou was strong and united!
The five abolished kings were actually unable to turn the world back, and the one who was truly regarded as a big trouble by Yang Jian was Yuwen Gong's nephew of Emperor Wen of Great Zhou.
And this Yuchi Jiong is the person Yang Guang focused on. Because the rebellion of Wei Chi Jiong in history was very famous, he hoped to use such an opportunity to enhance his strength.
The problem is that because his time traveling Yuwen Yun died a few months later, everything was postponed, including the matter of Yuchi Jiong. However, this also gave Yang Guang enough time to investigate and understand this extraordinary old man through various means!
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an old man, because when Yang Guang traveled through time, he was already 64 years old, which was definitely a very long-lived age in ancient times!
As a result, Yang Guang's information about this old man is now thick:
Yuchi Jiong, whose courtesy name is Bojuluo, was a native of Daidi. His ancestors were another branch of the Northern Wei Dynasty, known as the Yuchi tribe, so they were his surname. His father, Yuchi Shidou, was magnificent and bold, had the ability to recognize things. He married Princess Changle, the sister of Emperor Wen of Zhou, and gave birth to two brothers, Yuchi Jiong and Yuchi Gang. Yuchi Jiong was seven years old and Yuchi Gang was six years old. Their father was seriously ill. He called them and stroked their heads and said, "You all have rich faces, but it's a pity that I can't see you anymore. We all have to work hard."
Yuchi Jiong was smart and agile since childhood, and was handsome. When he grew up, he was ambitious, liked to give alms, and respected talents. He married Princess Jin Ming, the daughter of Emperor Wen of the Western Wei, and was appointed as the son-in-law of the Duke of the Emperor of the Constitution, and was named the Duke of the Western Duke. In the 11th year of Datong (545), he was named Shizhong, General of the Cavalry, and the Third Session of the founding of the Ministry of Publicity, and was promoted to Duke of the Wei'an County. In the 15th year of Datong, he was promoted to the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe and the General of the Leadership. He was agile and very talented. Although he was both civil and military, he was quite disappointed in the times. Therefore, Yuwen Tai valued and relied on him very much. In the 16th year of Datong, he was named General.
Hou Jing crossed the river and fled to Nanliang. Emperor Yuan of Liang was guarding Jiangling at that time and requested to repair it with his neighboring countries. His younger brother, King Wuling Xiao Ji, proclaimed himself emperor in Shu, led his army to the east and was about to attack Jiangling. Emperor Yuan of Liang was very frightened and sent a letter to the Western Wei for rescue. Yuwen Tai said, ": The land of Shu can be taken! Occupying Shu and subduing the Liang Dynasty. This is a fight." He discussed with the court officials, and many generals had different opinions. Only Yuchi Ji believed that since Xiao Ji led all the elite troops to the east, Shu would be empty, and after the Western Wei army arrived, there would be no war. Yuwen Tai thought that his analysis was correct and said to him: "The attack on Shu is completely entrusted to you." So he ordered him to lead the six soldiers of Kaifu Yuanzhen, Yifuya, Hou Lulingshi, Chi Nuxing, Qi Lianxiong, Yuwen Sheng and other soldiers of the six armies to capture Jinshou and open up the old road of Pinglin.
The result is a big victory!
His army was strict and the soldiers had no selfish intentions. The court issued an edict to him as the Grand Governor, the military affairs of the twelve states including Yitong, and the governor of Yizhou. In the third year of the abolition of the emperor (554), he added six states to the military affairs of the original 18 states. Due to the merits of pacifying Shu, the court appointed one of his sons as Duke of Anguo County. From south of Jiange, he could grant titles and demotions according to the court system. He clearly distinguished rewards and punishments, cultivated grace and prestige, appeased the people of the newly acquired land, and operated places that had not yet been surrendered. The Han and Yi people missed and surrendered to him.
At the same time, he was very filial and never slacked off in his support for his parents. Although he was often away, he would give it to his parents first when he got fresh food from all seasons before he dared to eat it. His mother, Princess, was old and sick. She used to be in the capital. Every time she retired from the court, he would serve his mother's daily life, and her face was worried. The Princess always ate with joy to comfort her son's heart. Yuwen Tai knew his temperament and transferred him back to the court to comfort him. He also sent officials from the Great Honglu to welcome and comfort him, and gave him the robes and crowns used by the Duke and Marquis. After he left, the people of Shu missed him and erected monuments for him to praise his merits. The civil service system was just implemented, and he was named Xiao Zongbo.
Emperor Xiaomin of Zhou ascended the throne and promoted him to the general of the throne. Because he had the merits of pacifying Shu, he was changed to the title of Ningshu Duke and was promoted to the Grand Sima. Soon, he was guarded by Longyou with his current official position. In the first year of Wucheng (559), the court promoted him to the Duke of Shu with a fief of 10,000 households, and served as the general manager of Qinzhou, Qinwei and other four military commanders, and the Grand General of Longyou. In the second year of Baoding, he was appointed as the Grand Sima. Duke of Jin Yuwen Huhudiao in the east attack, and he led his army to attack Luoyang. King Yuwen Kuan of Qi and others were stationed in Mangshan, and the Qi army crossed the Yellow River. The Zhou army fled in panic. He led his troops to retreat while fighting against the enemy, so the Zhou army could retreat intact. He was moved to the Taibao and Taifu.
Emperor Xuan Yuwen Yun ascended the throne and appointed him as the chief supervisor of Xiangzhou.
So this person is a completely cruel person, and he has a very experienced and capable position. The key is that he has military power. So after dealing with the Five Kings, the so-called "handling" means that they disappear silently, leaving only a completely crazy Yuwen Zhao that left him wandering on the streets begging and waiting to starve to death.
The most important thing for Yang Jian next was to deal with Yuchi Jiong. He had been rumored to rebel since Yuwen Yun's death, and the reason for his rebellion was not to target the 8-9-year-old emperor, but to target the monopoly of power and soon replace Yang Jian, who would become emperor in the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
Speaking of which, it’s not his turn to do it in the world. Yang Jian is definitely the longest, most brave and invincible veteran general in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and he is definitely the old generation of war god-level figures. Yang Su and others are simply weak in front of others!
Because he is 64 years old, he can still get on a horse, hold a gun and raise his hand to kill people, and it is said that he can eat ten bowls of rice!
Anyway, in Yang Guang's mind, the only one who can compare with this old guy in history seems to be Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong is just a general, but Yuchi Jiong is definitely a handsome guy!
What's even more terrible is that the geographical center of Yuchi Jiong's power is in the heart of the North China Plain, where he can use amazing resources and has a strong potential follower among the powerful local clans.
