Chapter 1147 A good wife?
Yuwen Heng is now a lost dog.
The great defeat at the riverside not only caused the loss of half of his troops, but more importantly, it made him lose the opportunity to occupy the Southern Dynasty.
He had already exposed his ambition, causing the fear of the Grand Chancellor and even his own father.
He wanted to retreat to the north, but it was no longer possible.
I have to say that Jiang Chi was really ruthless. On the surface, he was giving advice to Yuwen Heng, but in fact he was trying to flatter him to death.
He dug a hole and Yuwen Heng jumped in willingly.
Now I am in a dilemma and have nowhere to go.
Fortunately, Yuwen Heng is not a man who gives up easily. Since he can't go back to his hometown, he will find another battlefield.
He led the remaining troops and headed northwest.
After repelling the foreign tribes entrenched in the northwest, they gained a temporary respite.
Yuwen Heng has very complicated feelings towards Gu Youyi, his former "virtuous wife".
He could feel Gu Youyi's affection for him and her wholehearted support, but he could also see her stupidity.
It's not about hiding one's shortcomings or making fun of oneself, it's just that I'm really stupid and naive.
The key point is that this good wife of his likes to be smart.
From the day the Gu family suddenly disappeared and completely fled the Northern Dynasty, Yuwen Heng saw his wife's true face.
However, at that time, although Gu Youyi had lost the support of her family and was still so stupid, she knew some "secrets".
She seems to have the power of foresight. She always knows some things in advance and also knows some people who are destined to rise.
Yuwen Heng needs Gu Youyi's "prophecy".
Therefore, Yuwen Heng did not abandon Gu Youyi. When attacking Jiangling, he complied with her strong request and brought her with him.
Gu Youyi used the power of prophecy to let Yuwen Heng know how powerful Jiang Chi was.
Yuwen Heng also successfully recruited Jiang Chi into his team.
pity--
In the battle on the river, Yuwen Heng was defeated miserably.
He had to lead the remaining troops and flee.
When he was escaping, Yuwen Heng didn't care about his wife at all.
Thinking back on it afterwards, Yuwen Heng did not feel any guilt or regret.
He didn't feel guilty because, by abandoning his wife, he didn't harm her.
After all, the commander on the other side is my wife’s cousin.
They are all daughters of the Gu family, and Gu Qing is very smart and will never take Gu Youyi's life.
Yuwen Heng even felt that he was giving his wife a chance to make a new choice: he, Yuwen Heng, was defeated and fled, and even protecting himself was a problem. The so-called wealth and glory could not be achieved for the time being.
However, the Gu family was rising strongly. At that time, Yuwen Heng felt that Gu Qing had the strength to seize Jiankang and dominate the Southern Dynasty.
As long as Gu Youyi returns to the Gu family, she can become a noble lady of the Gu family again.
She can completely rely on Gu's support and find another good husband.
It's better than hiding with him and not being able to see the future in the short term.
Yuwen Heng felt that he still had feelings for his wife and had not let her down for her help.
Therefore, he does not feel guilty, nor does he blame himself.
Besides, he would not regret it.
Gu Youyi is just an idiot, and now even her ability to predict the future is no longer effective.
From now on, she will be useless trash to him.
Taking advantage of the "last resort" to escape, he threw the person to Gu Qing. Not only did he not dirty his hands, but he also got a good reputation as a tragic figure. It was the best of both worlds!
However, Yuwen Heng still overestimated Gu Youyi's IQ.
In other words, he underestimated Gu Youyi's persistence in being the "mother of the country".
She clearly had the opportunity to return to the Gu family, but she gave it up.
God knows how shocked Yuwen Heng was when he saw Gu Youyi, who had come all the way to him and was in a dishevel, in the temporary camp while he was escaping.
He really wanted to pry open Gu Youyi's head and see what kind of swill was inside.
Yuwen Heng simply couldn't imagine how a person could be so stupid.
What? You said that Gu Youyi was not stupid, she just loved him too much and was unwilling to give up her original husband?
Want to share the hardships with yourself?
Yuwen Heng just laughed.
He is not stupid, nor is he blind. How could he not see the wishful thinking that Gu Youyi tried hard to hide?
What she valued was never her husband, but the wealth and glory that Yuwen Heng could bring her.
Although he didn't know why Gu Youyi was so persistent, it seemed as if she believed that he could become a great leader.
However, Yuwen Heng was very sure that Gu Youyi did not love him at all. What she loved was his identity and his future.
Such a stupid and almost useless wife is like a piece of taffy, sticking to him tightly and he can't get rid of her.
If Yuwen Heng didn't want to have another enemy like the Gu family, at least for now, he would have killed Gu Youyi.
"…Forget it, just take it with you for now."
"No matter what, she is my first wife."
"I was defeated and fled, hiding in a northwestern border town, but she still chased me regardless of everything, which shows how deep our friendship is."
"Now is the time to win over the people and stabilize the morale of the army. I cannot bear the crime of murdering my first wife."
"And Gu Qing... this woman is so scary. She actually created the 'Sky Thunder'!"
After the war, Yuwen Heng seemed to suffer from PTSD.
At least when Gu Qing was mentioned, Yuwen Heng would subconsciously think of the heavy bombing and flying blood on the river.
It's so horrible.
Yuwen Heng had every reason to suspect that this woman, Gu Qing, must have more tricks up her sleeve.
She has more powerful tricks up her sleeve.
Yuwen Heng didn't want to, at least in the next few years, he didn't want to be an enemy of Gu Qing.
Gu Youyi was abandoned by the Gu family and seemed to have become an outcast of the family.
But, what if an outsider tried to bully one? Wouldn't that be handing over a ready-made "excuse for starting a war" to the opponent? Yuwen Heng would not do stupid things! So, he left Gu Youyi behind and took her to escape to the border town.
Subsequent facts proved that Yuwen Heng seemed to have made a wise choice.
Now, Gu Youyi is using her "prophecy" to come and give advice to Yuwen Heng.
"Who? Bu Liu Hu Xin?"
When Yuwen Heng heard such a somewhat unfamiliar name, he was instinctively stunned.
He tried hard to think whether this person existed in the circle of powerful people he was familiar with.
The Buliuhu clan was a famous clan in the Northern Dynasties and was one of the eight major clans.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
However, not all people with the surname Bu Liuhu are nobles.
At least among the Bu Liuhu clan that Yuwen Heng knew, there was no one named "Xin".
"Yes! It's Bu Liu Hu Xin."
Gu Youyi nodded firmly.
If she hadn't tried hard to recall, she wouldn't have remembered the existence of such a person.
It’s not that he wasn’t powerful enough, but that he died too short.
He was like a firework, brilliant but fleeting.
He died too early, and did not live to see the unification of the country, so when Gu Qing and Yuwen Heng conferred titles on his meritorious officials, they only gave him a posthumous title of founding county baron.
There was no hereditary succession, nor was there any imperial decree. As for Gu Youyi, she was just a woman trapped in the inner house in her previous life, with only a vague understanding of the outside world.
Most of the people she could remember were very prominent figures.
As for talented people like Bu Liu Hu Xin who died young, she had only heard her family occasionally mention them.
The most important point is that after establishing the Xin Dynasty, Yuwen Heng continued to promote sinicization.
The Xianbei people also changed their surnames to Chinese ones.
Bu Liuhu changed his name to Lu.
The name that Bu Liuhu Xin left on the official documents of the Xin Dynasty was Lu Xin.
In addition, it was a lifetime ago, and Gu Youyi was forced into a desperate situation before she found the key figure Lu Xin from the deepest part of her memory.
"He was born a horse slave, and was promoted because of his outstanding military achievements."
"Yuwen Quan also gave him the surname 'Bu Liuhu' and regarded him as his confidant."
Yuwen Quan was the Grand Chancellor of the Northern Dynasties and the real "Emperor Emeritus".
He used the large army in his hands to have the privilege of recommending or deposing emperors.
Yuwen Quan was also one of Yuwen Heng's biggest enemies.
If he could be overthrown, Yuwen Heng would become the actual controller of the Northern Dynasty.
Even though Yuwen Heng has become a lost dog and cannot directly confront Yuwen Quan, he can take this as an opportunity to "reconcile" with his father Yuwen Song.
Father and son joined forces to kill Yuwen Quan.
When the father becomes emperor, the son becomes the crown prince.
Any conflicts in the future will be the Yuwen family’s own family affairs.
As for Yuwen Heng, even if he could not become emperor, at least he could get rid of his current predicament.
Return to Pingcheng, return to the power center of the Northern Dynasty...there will be more possibilities next.
"Bu Liu Hu Xin is very low-key, but he is Yu Wenquan's biggest trump card."
"If we can cooperate with Bu Liuhu Xin and kill Yu Wenquan by surprise..."
In order to regain Yuwen Heng's attention, Gu Youyi tried her best.
She used all her limited intelligence to plan this matter.
Yuwen Heng remained silent.
Win over Yuwen Quan’s confidants?
What can you use to win him over? Fame or profit? Threats or favors? It's useless to know a person's name but no details.
"…Bu Liu Hu Xin has a younger sister."
Seeing this, Gu Youyi was not angry.
She knew that Yuwen Heng was a calculating and scheming man, and would not be easily fooled by a few words.
He is indeed the one destined to rule the world, he is so calm.
Gu Youyi did not keep the person in suspense and directly told the secret that Gu Qing had discovered in the previous life.
"Husband, I know the whereabouts of Bu Liu Hu Xin's sister!"
If we find Bu Liu Hu Xin's only relative, we can use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Bu Liu Hu Xin! In his previous life, Gu Qing relied on this trump card to secretly win over Bu Liu Hu Xin.
It played a decisive role when Yuwen Song and his son executed the Grand Chancellor.
Not only did he push Yuwen Song to the throne, but he also made Yuwen Heng make great contributions in front of Yuwen Song, thereby establishing his position as the crown prince!
When Gu Youyi thought about her past life, a bright light flashed in her eyes again.
Although Yuwen Heng was defeated, it was only temporary.
The general direction of history will not change, and Yuwen Heng will eventually reach the pinnacle of power like in his previous life.
“…”
A strange light flashed in Yuwen Heng's eyes.
It seems that his decision to keep Gu Youyi was right.
This woman is really stupid, but she also has magical powers! "Ah Gu, you are really my good wife..."
