Gao Cheng obviously listened to what Hou Jing said in his heart. He understood that no matter how many tricks Yuwentai played, it was because he had to fight quickly. This is the most lethal root cause of Yuwentai. Even if the internal battle is fought, the enemy is a long-distance attack, but from the perspective of the national strength of the Western Wei at this time, the Eastern Wei can afford to drag it, and the Western Wei Dynasty cannot afford to drag it out. No matter how much Yuwentai helps, it is difficult to hide his impatience.

Of course, Gao Cheng also wants to solve it quickly. Unlike Yuwentai, he was not forced. But he really wanted to take advantage of this close opportunity to capture Yuwentai alive in one fell swoop, so as to be ashamed of the snow. Then go straight to Chang'an, unify the two Wei, and build an immortal feat.

If we say that we set up camp first, settle down, and then judge the situation, it is nothing more than waiting. The outcome is unpredictable. The battle situation is changing rapidly, and Yuwen Black Otter is deceitful, and there is really no real certainty about what will happen in the future, so it is better to make a decision as soon as possible when you can control it at this time.

Because no one can guarantee that waiting will definitely lead to a satisfactory outcome? And the so-called judging the situation is just a variety of assumptions, all kinds of analysis, in fact, this kind of judging the situation is too much, but it is easy to make people at a loss, and it is even more difficult to come up with ideas. Now that you already know that Yuwentai is right in front of you, why wait? Why can't you make a quick decision?

Chen Yuankang saw that Gao Cheng and Gao Aocao were both active, although he didn't think so, but in front of Hou Jing, he couldn't openly refute him at this time, otherwise the generals would lose peace in front of the formation, which would be a great disadvantage to the Eastern Wei army. Just thinking about how to find an opportunity to persuade the general in private, he heard Gao Cheng's voice.

"Situ is right." Gao Cheng happily approved, he rarely had this kind of tone towards Hou Jing. Gao Cheng turned his horse and looked at Hou He, "According to what Situ said, it is better to choose the time than to collide, and the general of Wuwei, Hou He, is the vanguard, and enters Weiqu to fight a decisive battle with Xikou." ”

"The last general is willing to follow General Wuwei and follow the orders of the general to fight a decisive battle with Yuwen Black Otter." Gao Aocao is also full of spirits.

Chen Yuankang listened to it and suppressed all the things he was secretly thinking about to say. At this time, if he expresses any further disagreement, it will be in vain. Not only is it not beneficial, but it is easy to create gaps.

Hou Jing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything.

If Hou He is the vanguard, then Hou Jing will inevitably take care of his son. Using Hou He as a pioneer is equivalent to using Hou Jing as well.

The so-called pioneer is just to explore the truth and reality, so that Gao Aocao and Gao Cheng behind can know themselves and the other and ensure that nothing goes wrong. Chen Yuankang thought in his heart that the general's arrangement was wonderful. Even if Hou Jing has any thoughts, he can't harm his son first.

Hou He didn't dare to disobey the order, looked at his father, he was very puzzled, and looked at the general Gao Cheng, and he had to take the order.

Gao Aocao naturally had no opinion.

Only Hou Jing was full of hatred in his heart. secretly scolded Gao Cheng in his heart, Xianbei was treacherous.

Hou He looked into the distance and suddenly saw a group of Western Wei troops who had appeared on the sand meadow beyond the deep grass of the reeds at some point. There weren't many people, but they were coming towards them. This team of Western Wei troops has already marched in front of them, and Hou He recognized it at a glance, the general who was at the front and closest to them was actually Yu Wentai, the prime minister of Western Wei.

Yuwentai came with a bow and arrow, what does this mean?

Needless to say, Gao Cheng and Chen Yuankang and Gao Aocao on his side also saw Yuwentai. The appearance of Yuwentai confirmed their suspicions, and the Western Wei army was indeed ambushed in Weiqu, waiting for the enemy to come. Gao Cheng's green eyes were cold, and the murderous aura had already been revealed.

"The general really kept his promise, and the black otter has already set up a position, just waiting for the general to come." Yu Wentai immediately said loudly to Gao Cheng on the other side. As soon as Yu Wentai said this, this group of Western Wei troops had already turned their horses and went to Weishui again.

At first, that small group of Western Wei troops was quite calm, but then it was completely galloping.

How could Gao Cheng let go when he saw Yuwentai's face? Ordered immediate pursuit. Hou He naturally didn't dare to disobey his orders, and as a pioneer, he had to take the lead in chasing people. Gao Cheng himself also chased after him, and he couldn't wait to capture Yuwentai by himself immediately. Chen Yuankang didn't care about thinking about anything else, so he could only chase after the prince all the way. However, Gao Aocao was still calm, and led the team to observe the surrounding situation with great attention while moving forward. On the contrary, Hou Jing was the most calm, watching his son gallop towards Weiqu, and he could still feel at ease.

The formation suddenly became chaotic, and the Eastern Wei army, full of arrogance, rushed to the Wei River in a hurry, just like their commander, all of them wanted to cut down the Western thieves and make a military achievement. If you can capture or kill the generals and governors of the Western Wei Dynasty, it will be an indescribable merit. Some people even wonder if they are lucky enough to capture and kill Yu Wentai, the great prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty. At this time, the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty were greedy for merit, and they were all the same as the commander, determined to win, and rushed towards the reeds and barren grass, or it may be the Western Wei army they imagined.

However, as the vanguard, Hou He, the general of Wuwei, became stupid as soon as he rushed into the reeds and barren grass. Where is the Western Wei army they imagined? There is no one at all. Obviously, he saw the Yuwen black otter rushing here, but at this time, it was nowhere to be seen.

But it was too late, and at this time, the Eastern Wei army, which did not know the situation, rushed up one after another, all of them were deeply trapped in the reeds and couldn't extricate themselves.

Hou He ordered someone to send a message to the back of the formation, and quickly reported to the general Gao Cheng that there was no Western Wei army here, and the reeds were deep and dense, and it was difficult for iron horses to walk, so they could not come again.

Gao Cheng received the news and divided into two routes with Gao Aocao's soldiers to the east and west, and continued to search and pursue the Western Wei army. At this time, the Eastern Wei army was already like a madman, frantically searching for and chasing the Western Wei army who played the game of "I hide you" with them.

Along the way, Gao Aocao not only had to search the reeds and grass by the river, but also pay attention to the dense jujube forest. In fact, the reeds and grass did hide the Western Wei ambush soldiers. Hiding in the reeds was the men and horses led by Li Bi, and hiding in the jujube forest was the hussar general Zhao Gui.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Gao Aocao didn't dare to be careless. When he reached the reeds, he stopped from time to time to watch, and his journey was extremely slow. At this time, the originally silent Wei River suddenly beat loud drums, shaking the sky and breaking the original silence. And this sudden loud noise startled the war horse of the Eastern Wei Iron Cavalry to neigh, and because it was dark and could not distinguish the terrain, it rushed towards the reeds and grass.

The horses in front of them were stuck in the quagmire and couldn't extricate themselves, and the ones behind didn't know it, and they followed up again, and suddenly they were in a mess. Immediately, the soldiers fell. At this time, Li Bi's department of the Western Wei army rushed out with bows and arrows, shouting and killing shook the sky, and the arrows fell like rain. Most of the Eastern Wei army was killed and wounded, and those who had not yet fallen into the quagmire immediately turned away. Zhao Gui, the hussar general of the Western Wei Dynasty, who was waiting for the opportunity in the jujube forest, led his army to kill, formed a joint encirclement with the metropolitan governor Li Bi, and surrounded the Eastern Wei legions.

Let's say that the general Gao Cheng, like Gao Aocao, went west, and there were reeds and barren grass in front of him. It's just that at this time, the sky is already dark, and I am not familiar with the terrain, so I only see the shining place in the distance, and I know that it is the Wei River. But what I didn't expect was that the reeds and grass by the Wei River were full of silt.

If the soldier walks slowly, be careful, it's fine. It's just a cavalry, and it's eager to capture the Yuwen black otter alive, so it's even more negligent about the terrain and terrain. But when the cavalry in front rushed into the reeds and found that something was wrong, the things that followed were basically exactly the same as what Gao Aocao had encountered.

Gao Cheng chased along a ray of light. There is no doubt that it must be the Western Wei army. In Gao Cheng's heart, he already thought of it as Yuwentai. But he never imagined that his mount would be stuck in the mud and unable to pull out its hooves.

At this time, the situation encountered by both sides of the Eastern Wei army was exactly the same, and the situation was in chaos. Only the pioneer Hou and the Ministry of Pioneers, who rushed into the reeds first, were ignored at this time. It is no wonder that the Western Wei Dynasty has few soldiers, of course, it is to concentrate its forces and directly attack the main force of the Eastern Wei Army, and it is impossible to take care of Hou He.

It was at this time that Hou Jing, the apprentice of the Puyang County Company, brought his son Wuwei General Hou He out of the reeds. Counting the people, there is still a lot left.

Of course, Hou Jing and Hou He also heard the sound of killing on both sides. But at this time, should Gao Aocao be saved first or the general Gao Cheng first? Or to save or not to save the general Gao Cheng?

Hou He suddenly asked, "If the prince is lost, will King Gao resent the adult?" ”

Hou He is not a smart person, but this sudden question really reminded his father Hou Jing. If the Eastern Wei Dynasty suffered heavy losses, wouldn't Yuwentai, a person who would seize the opportunity, be even more powerful? Hou Jingshi felt that compared to King Gao, Yuwentai was more difficult to get along with, and even both soft and hard were ineffective. He wanted Yu Wentai to know that the person who could balance the forces of him and King Gao now was Hou Jing. He wants to make whoever is strong will be strong, and whoever is weak will be weak, which is not only a weighing instrument, but also a pivotal copper power wooden balance, not an insignificant little tiredness. If you don't understand this, then who will understand his worth?

It seems that the Eastern Wei Dynasty has lost this battle, but if it loses more miserably, it will not be of much benefit to him. In the future, he will also rely on the power of King Gao to sit in Henan. The most important point is that Gao Cheng'er can't die at this time. If Gao Cheng died at this time, there would be an invisible gap between him and King Gao. And once this estrangement exists, it can't be eliminated, so isn't he passive?

Gao Cheng's horse was stuck in the quagmire and couldn't extricate himself, Chen Yuankang saw that the prince was still whipping the horse stocks, at this time, the ray of light was getting closer and closer, and he felt that it was not good, so he dismounted first and persuaded, "Please dismount the prince, and the minister will definitely ensure that the prince breaks out of the encirclement." At this time, it was dark and the terrain could not be seen clearly, so he could quickly join forces with General Wuwei, Situ and Dadu Governor, and fight again tomorrow. ”

Gao Cheng also knew that Chen Yuankang's suggestion was right. But he was very unwilling. came with great ambitions, and made an appointment with Yuwentai to fight in Weibei, but now he can't even find Yuwentai's shadow, and he is so inexplicably stuck in the quagmire. Looking at his Eastern Wei army and the Western Wei army that had been ambushed, they are already fighting together, and they can't tell you and me apart. Yuwen Black Otter did not arrange troops to fight a decisive battle with him, just hid his body, waited for the opportunity, and did not talk about the formation at all, which was tantamount to a raid by a rogue, which could not be regarded as a fraud, it was simply a scoundrel.

"Brother Changyou, how many soldiers and horses are there nearby? Can you see clearly? Gao Cheng did not give up his mount and did not get off his horse.

Listening to the general's meaning of swearing to the death, Chen Yuankang pondered for a while, at this time he was already in a mess, if he had to join forces to fight again, it might be a greater loss. Everything is slow and round, and I still have to persuade Gao Cheng not to be impatient.

Chen Yuankang was trying to persuade him, but suddenly saw a very bright light in the darkness, and the distance was getting closer and closer. This is the ray of light that attracted the pursuit of the Eastern Wei army. In any case, it must be friend or foe. If there is an enemy attack at this time, Gao Cheng sits on his horse, and the goal is too obvious. And this horse is already deep in the mud, what use is it needed? Chen Yuankang immediately shouted, "The prince of the world, get off the horse!" He thought that if he could protect the prince from the reeds and grass while the chaos was dark, he would always find another horse, and then go to Gao Aocao, the governor of the capital.

Gao Cheng also saw the light that was getting closer and closer. But it was late, and before he could get off his horse, suddenly the reeds and grass were suddenly pushed away, and a team of Western Wei troops had arrived in front of him. And the leader is the general of the chariot cavalry, Yu Jin. The light came from the few sergeants with lanterns who followed him.

It's not because the light is too bright, it's because the night is too dark.

Yu Jin took advantage of the bright light to see it carefully, but he did not rush forward. Respectfully greeted each other with a military salute, or calmly and steadily, "The destiny of heaven has returned, and the general is not responding to the situation, and even today's defeat." With the order of the prime minister, I would like to ask the general to go to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven in an orthodox order. If there is any offense, I hope the general will forgive me. ”

Gao Cheng didn't want to get off the horse again at this time. He looked at Yu Jin condescendingly and listened to him calmly. Although at the same time he still couldn't believe it in his heart, was he really defeated? Is he really going to fall into the hands of an adversary?

Chen Yuankang secretly glanced left and right. I couldn't see it clearly just now, but now I can see that the two Wei sergeants in the melee are still more than me. And the other party just took advantage of the familiar terrain and the earlier ambush, and it was a surprise attack. Chen Yuankang took a closer look at this reed bush again, remembering where he was born and where he died. Then he secretly reached out and touched the quiver on his waist.

"You are the general of the defeated army under me, how dare you do this?" Gao Cheng asked angrily. "Yuwen Black Otter splits the society and divides the world, all for his own selfishness, and now he is arrogantly claiming orthodoxy, how ridiculous?!"

Yu Jin saw that Gao Cheng's face was full of anger, and according to the temper of this gentleman, of course he would not be captured, so he clenched the sword in his hand and approached Gao Cheng step by step.

"Yu Sijing looks at the arrow!" Chen Yuankang suddenly shouted and diverted Yu Jin's attention. Yu Jin saw that Chen Yuankang was already facing him with a bow and arrow.

Chen Yuankang used enough strength to draw a full bow and shoot an arrow.

Yu Jin hurriedly dodged.

But he was wrong, Chen Yuankang wanted to shoot not him, but the lamp in the sergeant's hand. A light went out. "Get off the horse!" Chen Yuankang aimed at the second lamp and said loudly to Gao Cheng without looking back.
