When Xiao Yao was still wandering around the border between Zhou and Qi, choosing the best place to smuggle into the border of Zhou, the messenger sent by Gao Changgong had already stepped up and sent the good news to Yecheng, when the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty heard that Gao Changgong was invincible in Huainan before he defeated in Linying County, which made the Qi army frightened by the forward brigade, and also captured the invincible firearms used by the forward brigade, and finally killed Xiao Yao and fled the news, everyone became radiant and ecstatic!

You must know that the previous situation was very unfavorable to Qi Guo! When the Chen army successfully broke through Xuyi, and then broke through Shouyang, the reinforcements sent by the Qi State twice were defeated, and the Chen army's offensive was like a bamboo, so that the entire Qi State was panicked, and was deeply afraid that after the Chen State captured Huainan, he would take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then attack Huaibei, and finally hit all the way to Hebei, hit Yecheng, then the Qi State was in danger of destroying the country!

Especially the infantry battalion led by Xiao Yao, as well as the invincible firearms they used, can kill thousands of soldiers in an instant, and it makes the Qi soldiers frightened and dare not fight against them.

Such an almost invincible army has now been completely defeated by our Great Qi Captain Gao Changgong, and even their main general Xiao Yao has been killed and fled, and now his whereabouts are unknown, so that these ministers have called Gao Changgong the Optimus of Qi and worthy of being the god of war of the Qi army!

But the more the ministers praised Gao Changgong, the worse Gao Wei's face became! When he heard that Gao Changgong was going to ask for more troops to be sent to him, so that he could lead the army south to counterattack Chen State and regain the lost territory, Gao Wei was even more angry and left the table, leaving the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty with a confused face.

"Your Majesty, these ministers are so hateful! When Wei Pohu's army was defeated by Chen's army, they advocated peace talks with Chen Guo and wanted to cede land and sue for peace! Now that Gao Changgong has only defeated Chen Jun's vanguard, they have praised Gao Changgong! They still have to continue to send troops south, don't they know that the main force of the Chen army is still in Shouyang, if they want to completely defeat the main force of the Chen army and recover Huainan, then how many additional men and horses must be sent to Gao Changgong! "Mu Tiva said in a strange voice.

"A few days ago, our famous general Duan Shaoduan, the famous general of Daqi, died of illness, and there are not many people with prestige in the army, if at this time let Gao Taiwei continue to lead the troops and counterattack the Chen army, then Gao Taiwei's prestige in the army will be even higher, and I am afraid that he will not even take the emperor in his eyes at that time! And recently we received a secret report, Gao Changgong requisitioned those who know how to build the Su Tie Treasure Knife, the disciples of the iron-making master Qi Mu Huaiwen and many alchemists to Xuzhou, to imitate Xiao Yao's invincible firearms, but these craftsmen are some skilled craftsmen who make weapons, if we have soldiers to him now, in case Gao Changgong has bad intentions, and someone will have weapons at that time, it will be troublesome! So the emperor should think twice! Han Changluan was also alarmist.

Mu Ti Po and Han Changluan are not the main battle faction, they will only consider their own interests and enjoy the so-called peaceful and prosperous era of the current Qi State, so they are against continuing to send troops to Gao Changgong to counterattack the Chen State and recover Huainan! At that time, when they heard the bad news that Shouyang was broken by Chen Jun and Wang Lin was captured alive, they were still playing with dice leisurely, and said indifferently: "Huainan was originally someone else's thing, and now that people have taken it back, what do we have to pity?" ”

And since the State of Qi is now at war with Zhou and Chen at the same time, the domestic troops are insufficient, if they want to increase their troops to Gao Changgong at this time, then they can only draw out a part of the troops in the Yecheng Forbidden Army under the control of Mu Tipo and Han Changluan, which is tantamount to taking away the power in their hands, so of course they will not agree!

"Humph! Of course, I won't increase my troops to Gao Changgong! If he defeats the vanguard of the Chen army this time, he will become a god of war, if he is allowed to defeat the main force of the Chen army again, then what else will he become? Also, isn't the main general of the southern army this time Pi Jinghe, why did Gao Changgonghui lead the army to Linying County this time, and still win a battle there! Isn't Gao Changgong going to be demoted to a pawn before? Why did he go to Linying County to ambush the vanguard of the Chen army? Gao Wei asked sourly.

In fact, Gao Wei is very conflicted in his heart now! As the king of a country, when he heard that the Huainan region was invaded by the Chen army and Xuyi Shouyang was broken, he also felt a burst of sadness at that time, so if the person who defeated the Chen army this time was not Gao Changgong, Gao Wei would definitely reward that person heavily!

But now, the person who led the army to defeat Chen's army was Gao Changgong, who he was most jealous of, which made Gao Wei completely lose the joy of winning the battle because of his army, and seeing that above the court, those ministers were praising Gao Changgong, and constantly invited merit for Gao Changgong, and wanted to reward Gao Changgong heavily and add him to the rank and knight, which made him even more unbearable!

"The relationship between Pi Jinghe and Gao Changgong is relatively good, and during the Battle of Shouyang, although Pi Jinghe successfully retreated with the army in the pursuit of the Chen army and returned to Xuzhou, he also discarded a lot of materials and baggage, so he handed over the command of the army to Gao Changgong! After all, Gao Changgong has been in Huainan for more than a year, and he is more familiar with the situation there! Therefore, when the Chen army sent Xiao Yao's father and son as the vanguard to invade Huaibei, Gao Changgong took part of Xuzhou's troops to reinforce Linying County, and finally defeated Xiao Yao's forward brigade there! Han Changluan explained simply.

"And how am I going to decide this now? Now Gao Changgong took advantage of the victory and took the opportunity to ask me for troops, and his heart can be punished! But those ministers all support Gao Changgong, and it will be difficult for me to attack him for a while! Gao Wei said with a fierce look in his eyes, thinking that so many ministers were on Gao Changgong's side, Gao Wei wanted to kill him.

"Your Majesty, since Gao Changgong has made meritorious contributions, then we will take this opportunity to transfer him back to Yecheng, ascend and descend secretly, and let him return to our sight, then he will no longer be able to carry us behind our backs and recruit so many blacksmiths and alchemists to do those unforgivable things!" Lu Ling, who had been speechless, preached.

"Oh? Transfer him back? Gao Wei's eyes lit up.

"That's right! Anyway, now that Chen Guo has occupied Huainan and has achieved their goal, and their talented general Xiao Yao has also been beaten by Gao Changgong and fled, his whereabouts are unknown, such a big defeat, I believe they will not dare to continue to invade Huaibei! And even if we lose Huainan, we actually have nothing to lose! As long as we send troops to stick to Huaibei and don't let Chen Guo take advantage of it! So now you can transfer Gao Changgong back to the capital! Lu Lingxuan said with a smile.

"Okay, transfer Gao Changgong back to Yecheng, don't let him make such a big move outside! Out of such a big limelight! I'll leave this matter to you! And during this time, the queen mother was very sad because of the death of King Langya, and I should also go to visit. Gao Wei finally turned to anger and smiled happily.

Gao Yan, the king of Langya, since he designed to kill He Shikai, because he was afraid of being held accountable by Gao Wei, he has been living in the harem under the protection of Empress Dowager Hu, but after more than half a year, Gao Wei did not attack him, which also made Empress Dowager Hu gradually relax her vigilance.

In September, Gao Yan was taken to Jinyang by Gao Wei, and then Gao Wei deceived the Empress Dowager Hu with the excuse of taking him out to hunt, and then sent the killer Liu Taozhi to brutally kill the fourteen-year-old Gao Yan and bury him in the Daming Palace.

And Gao Wei also knew that he was very sorry for his mother after killing his own brother, so he decided to visit Empress Dowager Hu on a whim today!

Gao Wei came to the Empress Dowager Hu's dormitory and found that there were actually two nuns in it, who looked white, and Gao Wei, who had a big lust heart, couldn't help but go up and touch two handfuls. These two nuns turned out to be men pretending!

Gao Wei, who was furious, immediately escorted all these people out to be executed, and then pointed at the Empress Dowager Hu and scolded: "Queen Mother! I still feel guilty about you because of King Langya's affairs, and I can't imagine that you are doing these things with these monks in the harem! Someone told me before, you and the monk named Tan Xian were not clear, and they asked people to call him the emperor! Because you are my mother, I don't want to believe these rumors! I can't believe that these are true! You've all hidden these monks in the harem now! ”

Since then, Gao Wei and his biological mother Empress Dowager Hu have been strangers! Empress Dowager Hu was imprisoned in the North Palace by Gao Wei, and Gao Wei ordered that all relatives inside and outside the court could not go to see Empress Dowager Hu! There were even times when Empress Dowager Hu prepared food for Gao Wei, but Gao Wei was afraid that his mother would poison him and murder him, so he didn't dare to eat these things!
