Chapter 59: The Smoke Fades Out

"What the county lord said is wrong!" Before Gao Cheng could speak, Chen Yuankang actually reprimanded first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He looked back at Gao Cheng, Gao Cheng looked at Chen Yuankang and said with a smile, "Changyou has any objections, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Chen Yuankang also knelt straight and hugged his fist to Gao Cheng, "As the general said, Xikou still has a foundation, and it cannot be destroyed quickly for a while, and it must not be rushed." If you act carefully, you are afraid that it will be easier to change in an emergency, but it is better to Xu Tuzhi. The general said that the Great Wei and Xikou were a long-term battle, and they should be more cautious and cautious, and they should not make mistakes every step of the way, and they will definitely be eaten up. If a big mistake is made in a hurry, will it not be too late to regret it? Now Henan has been settled, King Gao in Yubi and Wang Sizheng has nothing to do, the winter weather is getting colder, it is not appropriate to stalemate again, it is better to temporarily return to the division to recuperate, and then fight with Xikou when the spring of the next year is getting warmer, it is the right time. ”

Liu Taozhi, who was guarding the door of the tent, looked at Chen Yuankang with wide eyes, he couldn't believe that this was what Chen Yuankang said. Liu Taozhi is Gao Cheng's confidant, and Gao Cheng never hides anything from him. Chen Yuankang confessed his strategy several times, and Liu Taozhi knew that Chen Yuankang advocated taking advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy Xikou in one fell swoop, but somehow suddenly his mind changed greatly.

Gao Cheng stared at Chen Yuankang, his green eyes were like flames jumping, which was particularly scorching. His eyes were burning but he only stared at Chen Yuankang and didn't speak, rolling up and down between his throats, and it was difficult to feel it without careful observation. Suddenly, he put his hand on his forehead and lowered his head slightly, making people feel as if he was out of control for a while because of fatigue. But he quickly lowered his hand and raised his head, and by this time his expression had regained his composure.

Hou Jing stared at Chen Yuankang, seeing that he had been looking at Gao Cheng, his eyes flashed, and he looked extremely concerned. Hou Jing didn't quite understand why Chen Yuankang, who had always been brave and brave, had the idea of retreating at this time. He is Gao Cheng's confidant, and he will definitely not openly disobey the general's thoughts.

Murong Shaozong also looked at Chen Yuankang thoughtfully.

"General," Gao Yue straightened up.

Gao Cheng listened to Gao Yue's call, and glanced at him indifferently, "What is the high opinion of the Grand Governor?" The tone was indifferent, and there seemed to be a hint of impatience that was very subtle. There was a wariness in his eyes.

General Chen Changyou is right. There is another point that I am afraid that General Changyou has also missed. Gao Yue turned a blind eye to all the slight unhappiness of Gao Cheng, and said frankly, "Although the Great Wei won a great victory in this battle and the Sixth Army of Xikou suffered a complete loss, the Great Wei also lost its troops. Therefore, it is indeed difficult to ensure a big victory if the war continues. Taiyuan Gong was originally ordered by the general to search for households in Hebei, and he gained a lot. This time there is no good use of the eagerness. If the general returns to the division at this time and fights again next spring, he can use this opportunity to expand his troops, because there is a foreshadowing of the household, which will be beneficial quickly. Xikou, on the other hand, could not get too many soldiers to replenish it for a while, so the lower officials also thought that a truce was a good strategy at this time. ”

Gao Cheng's two eyes swept around Gao Yue's body, listening to Gao Yue very carefully, and then he seemed to be thinking carefully after speaking. Finally, his expression softened and said, "The Metropolitan Governor is thoughtful, and that's exactly what he meant. Gao Cheng smiled and looked around again, "It will be done, don't be in a hurry." It is easy to recover Xikou, if it is really the unification of the society in Japan, it will be a major matter of governing the country and securing the people. ”

The meaning is obvious. It seems that the troops are indeed going to be withdrawn. In fact, several people also understood in their hearts that Gao Cheng's mind had already been determined, and he just took the opportunity to inquire to explore everyone's thoughts, and he did not really inquire

At this time, Murong Shaozong said, "For the general's long-term vision, regardless of the momentary benefits, the general has this intention, and we all obey our orders." ”

This is the end of the discussion. And they dispersed. When others went out, Chen Yuankang walked to the door of the tent, and when he heard Gao Cheng calling "Brother Changyou" behind him, he stopped and came back.

The cangtou slave Liu Taozhi stood outside the tent, looking at Hou Jing's limping back, and his heart was extremely hateful.

At this time, only Gao Cheng and Chen Yuankang were left in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Gao Cheng slowly paced over, looked at Chen Yuankang and laughed softly, "Why did Brother Changyou have a sudden change in his mind? He was referring to Chen Yuankang's sudden change of mind and no longer advocating chasing Xikou at this time. At this time, Gao Cheng's expression was much more relaxed than before.

"The general is far-sighted, long-sighted and short-sighted, not as good as the general, and he is willing to obey orders." Chen Yuankang knew that Hou Jing did not know the battle situation of Yubi at this time, and did not know that King Gao was seriously injured. Although Gao Cheng didn't give instructions in advance, he understood that this news could not be known to Hou Jing.

Gao Cheng felt this tacit understanding.

In fact, Gao Cheng had no other way, so he could only retire temporarily. Chen Yuankang will not understand this. The overall situation is important, is it just a last resort?

"It's the Metropolitan Governor, which is reasonable and unexpected." Chen Yuankang couldn't help but say.

Gao Yue knew the inside story of Yubi, but it was difficult for him to be thoughtful, and he helped Chen Yuankang to dismiss Hou Jing together, and there was a good reason.

Gao Cheng remembered Gao Yue's words just now, and mentioned the matter of his younger brother Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang's household, and he was still wary that Gao Yue was Gao Yang's henchman.

The end of the Battle of Bishan seems to have been silent.

The Emperor Yuan Bao Torch of the Western Wei Dynasty is dead, and although the crown prince Yuanqin cannot immediately perform the great ceremony at this time, he is already a well-deserved emperor, just a puppet.

Although the Western Wei army was not as silent as the Sixth Army, and the cry shook the sky, the mourning was also obvious. Its sorrow is not only because of the death of the Son of Heaven. In this battle, the six armies that Yuwentai had painstakingly built up were almost completely lost. The Western Wei Dynasty suffered natural disasters for many years, and the soldiers were in trouble, and at this time it was almost to the point of exhaustion.

The death of the Son of Heaven, this is a puppet emperor for Yuan Baoju himself, and it is a great fortune to have this opportunity, and it is also an invisible compensation for the dismal experience of the emperor and queen. But for a state and a country, it is a real irony and shame to rely on the blood and life of the Son of Heaven in exchange for Gou An at the most critical moment.

The great prime minister Yuwentai entered the customs with the new emperor Yuanqin and returned to the capital Chang'an. During the change of the throne, this great prime minister has become the real and unknown lord of the Western Wei Dynasty, and his status is unshakable, even the new emperor Yuanqin is beyond the reach of the dust. It's just that the country is broken, the people are not happy, the smoke has not been extinguished, and the important ministers of the court have different thoughts...... Although the ministers have power, the heavy responsibilities on their shoulders are also beyond the reach of others.

In the heavily guarded Tongguan, the Western Wei Dynasty, which is based on the fertile fields of Guanzhong, how to gain a foothold after the war is temporarily extinguished, this is a major problem that Prime Minister Yu Wentai has to face.

There was no further discussion about whether or not to pursue Xikou, and overnight the Eastern Wei army laid the idea of returning to the division to the east. Hou Jing did not ask the general Gao Cheng for his life again.

Heavy troops guard farmers, and this time it can be regarded as a triumphant return. It's just that the price of triumph is just as heavy. Punish the rebellion, regain the lost land, chase the Xikou, gather from all directions, one after another big battles, although the Eastern Wei army did not reach the point of exhaustion, but the troops were also heavily damaged, and the heavy grain and grass were consumed and lost countless times.

The future war is inevitable, after the return, how will the great general Gao Cheng enrich the country and strengthen the people, and what means will make the national strength strong and the army stronger? He also faced the same problem as Yuwentai. They didn't see each other again, and after the silent parting, they went their separate ways, and Gao Cheng and Yuwentai were already inevitably-for-tat.

Gao Huan, the king of Bohai and the prime minister of the Great Minister, is in danger in Yubi, and whether he can really sit firmly in the position of a powerful minister is a greater test for Gao Cheng.

After the withdrawal of the troops, the general Gao Cheng did not make a noise, and led the army to Yubi with Chen Yuankang, the right man.

Since the beginning of winter, Yecheng has been cloudy from time to time, but it has not snowed much. A few days ago, it suddenly snowed heavily for a day and night. When it snows, the weather is so gloomy that day is like night, and even the heavy snow covers the entire Yecheng. There is a vast white space everywhere, and there is no distinction between things, and there is only a plain white piece left between heaven and earth.

Heavy snow in winter is also a common thing, but for some reason, this heavy snow has caused a lot of discussion in the wells of Yecheng City, and it is rumored that there is a great funeral in the sky.

Of course, the rumors in the market are untrustworthy and unfounded, and no one will take it seriously if they are falsely rumored to the past, just talk about it, in order to comfort the boring minds of the common people. Such rumors categorically cannot enter the deep house and the palace.

Fortunately, after the heavy snowfall, the weather changed greatly, the haze was swept away, and the sun rose. The strong sunlight illuminated the sky thoroughly. The sunny and warm sunshine that I have been looking forward to for a long time have made the whole Yecheng lively and lively. It looks like a thriving atmosphere.

The military newspaper came back that the general Gao Cheng had recovered the lost prefecture county in Henan, which was very happy news. The prince's mansion in Yecheng, the house of important ministers, and even the Wei palace were all excited by this news. Coupled with the early sunshine after the snow, people who have not seen the sun for a long time are in a good mood, and Queen Gao Yuanjun ordered a banquet in the palace to drink for fun.

There are extremely precious green calyx plums in full bloom in the palace garden, and at this time, taking advantage of the heavy snow, stepping on the snow to find plums, it is also a pleasure to think about it.

It also coincided with the year of Ya, and the ceremony of worshipping winter and congratulating winter, the officials in the court ignored government affairs and celebrated the festival at home, and the atmosphere in Yecheng was even more joyful.

The war is going well, the New Year has arrived, and it is really a happy festival. Dongbaitang, which had not heard the voice of people for a long time, was also infected, and there was laughter and laughter in the desertion.

Since the general Gao Cheng went out on the expedition, Dongbaitang has naturally quieted down. Except for the imperial doctor's order who came to Langya Princess Yuan Yuyi for pulse consultation every day, almost no one came.

Yuan Yuyi didn't know a lot about the things outside, and the king and princess of Jibei could always grasp the rhythm to send news to her. These matters are now handled by the princess's confidant, the maid Ti Nu.

Although Ti Nu was the original slave maid in Dongbai Hall, she did not grow up in the mansion of King Gao. It's just because of a coincidence that they served Yuan Yuyi, and they fell in love with each other. In fact, the most important thing is because the girl thinks that the lady treats her very well.

An ordinary slave and maid, as cheap as a weed under the stairs in Dongbai Hall, no one cares about it, and it is always trampled on. If it was to be like this all the time, the girl had no complaints, and she didn't know which slave or maid was not like this. But when Yuan Yuyi was just favored as a dancing girl, and in Dongbai Hall, she could only stand on her as a foreign woman for a while, so she was naturally extra careful. Therefore, Ti Nu felt that the lady was kind and kind, and treated her kindly. In fact, it's just that each person's identity is different and their minds are different.

But after coming and going, Ti Nu became the confidant of Princess Yuan Yuyi of Langya.

Ti Nu walked through the courtyard of Mulan Fang, and she had already ordered the slaves to clean up the snow in the yard. I went to inspect the carriage that had been prepared, and if there was any negligence, whether it was warm enough, whether it was comfortable to sit on, and finally I was satisfied, and then I came back to report it.

The room was bright and warm. Despite the layers of thick linen covering the windows, the weather is clear and the sun is shining. Besides, how many lights are placed here and there in the house, almost day and night. There are several braziers, placed in the corners of the house, and they are also day and night. Yuan Yuyi didn't feel a little uncomfortable.

The importance of being a princess gives her a solid sense of security. This is the truest sense of security, not Gao Cheng's unpredictable grace. Life was comfortable, and she didn't miss him too much. When he wasn't in Dongbaitang, she didn't have to be careful to guess his thoughts, and she didn't have to bother trying to please him, which was actually quite good.

She was a princess, no longer a dancing queen, and the slaves were at her disposal, and this feeling made her feel particularly new and excited.

The queen wants to feast and drink in the palace, this is not the news sent by the king of Jibei, this is the people in the palace who specially came to pass on the queen's order. As a princess, she also has a status wife.

When the maiden came in, there were seven or eight slaves and maidservants arranging the princess's clothes. Although the hour was still early, Yuan Yuyi was ready.

Ti Nu was immediately attracted by Yuan Yuyi.

The slow sideburns, the swaying of the flowers, and the gold leaf sideburns are really too different from the dancing girls who used to wear white linen clothes with their hair scattered. The clothes on the body are even more deep purple and bright red, decorated with flowers, and birds are fluttering, which is particularly luxurious and gorgeous. The high head under the feet is half-exposed, and it is extremely delicate.

Yuan Yuyi was seven or eight months pregnant at this time. Even if the robe is wide, it is particularly noticeable. It was originally inconvenient to enter and exit, but it was really difficult to endure in winter. I am afraid of the cold and do not leave the house, and the fetus is unstable a few days ago, so I have to be on the couch from time to time to recuperate.

Finally, at this time, the imperial physician ordered that it was completely fine, and the good news of the general's victory was met, and the natural atmosphere in Dongbai Hall was excellent. For this reason, the banquet in the palace is a good opportunity to emphasize identity, no matter how you say it, you can't help but do it.

Yuan Yuyi herself is radiant and in a very good mood, and she is also waiting to appear at the palace banquet to win the envy of others. Although she is not a general in name, the identity of a foreign wife is not good after all. But the title of princess is enough for her glory. With a child in the womb, in the eyes of others, it is the time to be favored, and the future is probably unpredictable, and the future is unlimited.

Yuan Yuyi felt that she would be the object of envy.

Seven or eight slaves and maids surrounded Yuan Yuyi, some of them took care of their shoulders and necks, and some crouched at Yuan Yuyi's feet to take care of their skirts and shoes, and the scene was very lively.

Yuan Yuyi had been in the dark room for too long, and at this time, she especially longed for the fresh air outside, and wanted to go to a crowded place to be lively.

"Lady, everything is ready." Ti Nu walked over with a smile.

Yuan Yuyi was helped to the side of the big bed and sat down again, sitting with her legs down as if she was in a rope bed, so that she could be much more comfortable, and she didn't care about anything else.

The slaves and maids who had just arranged their clothes were scattered. Ti Nu walked closer and looked at Yuan Yuyi's face, "The general has won the battle, and the lady also has face." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Yuyi raised her head and looked at the girl, with a faint smile on her face, "The general is good, naturally good." ”

It's a puzzling statement. So what if the general is not good?

Of course, Ti Nu knew more than that. She also understands Yuan Yuyi's mood very well. Diverting the topic and asking, "Today's palace banquet, the princess will also go, right?" ”

Yuan Yuyi looked away and stretched out her hand. Ti Nu supported her, and Yuan Yuyi slowly stood up with the help of strength. She really didn't want to be bored in this room anymore, and suddenly she wanted to go out.

was helped to the door by the woman, and Yuan Yuyi said, "I should go." She said this as if she was neither very concerned nor indifferent. (To be continued.) )
