Chen Yuankang could see that Gao Cheng was referring to Heyin.

Jin Henan Yin Du pre, in the Yellow River here to build a pontoon bridge, known as the river bridge, is the only way to the north and south of the Yellow River, according to this bridge can be from the party wave the army straight to Luoyang. But if this bridge is in the hands of Yuwen Black Otter, it can also be used to block the southward movement of the Northern Army. The importance of the river bridge is clear at a glance, so Gao Cheng's meaning is to compete for important places and then advance with this. There is Beizhong City in the north of the bridge, and there is Heyin City in the south of the bridge, all of which are heavily garrisoned places.

Yang Su was a little ashamed in his heart, the general was actually more realistic than he thought, but it seemed that he had lost his atmosphere in talking about people's strengths and weaknesses. Subconsciously raised his head, and it happened that Gao Cheng's green eyes were also staring at him, and his eyes seemed to be able to see his heart all the time. Yang Su's heart trembled.

"Brother Zunyan is right, Yuwen Black Otter can always win in danger. It's not because he doesn't know the danger, it's because he can move with a camera. This person has always been very decisive, and it is really rare. The black otter took advantage of Yuan Xin and other clan kings in addition to the emperor's internal favor, and killed the emperor in one fell swoop, so that he could compete with my father. Gao Cheng suddenly paused.

Others didn't understand what it meant, but at this time, only Cui Jishu's heart suddenly flashed like lightning, thinking of the night when he and Ah Hui went to the Plains Princess Mansion to ask for marriage. It's blurry like it's never been posted. At that time, the young Ah Hui had long since disappeared without a trace.

Gao Cheng was still calm, and had already changed the topic, "Yuwen Black Otter is actually not a vicious person, he couldn't attack the city when he conquered Cao Ni, and he flooded the city with water because he wanted to pacify Lingzhou in order to strengthen the northern defense, so he was inevitably anxious." The reason for killing the emperor is only because he wants to eliminate the endless troubles of the emperor and the two sides, so as not to exhaust his mental strength. Now Guanzhong has settled down in his hands, Xiazhou and Liangzhou have been decided, although they have failed to capture Sanjing, but they have held Shangluo and Wuguan, and they can stand here to consolidate themselves. Nanliang took Nanzheng with Lanqin, and the black otter lost Nanzheng but defended Qiuchi and Wuxing, which was enough to reject Liang. Now that he has married Rouran, Rouran will naturally not enter the attack again, Yuwen Black Otter can be said to be safe in all directions, and naturally has the energy to frequently test and be my enemy. As long as the Tongguan is choked, the advance can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended, why dare the black otter? It seems that it is seeking victory in danger everywhere, but in fact, when you think about it, there is no danger at all. ”

Gao Cheng only talked about Yuwentai's situation, not himself. In fact, among the four people, Chen Yuankang knows best that compared with Westerners, they themselves are also stable in the four realms. King Gao, the Great General, and the Yuwen Black Otter are like secretly competing against each other, solving their troubles one by one. In the land of Sanjing, Yuwen Black Otter really didn't fight, because when he used Dugu Xin as the governor to recruit Jingzhou, King Gao also fought against him with Marquis Jing of Puyang County. After several back and forth, although Dugu Xin set three jings, he was finally captured by Gao Aocao, so King Gao became the final victor according to Sanjing.

Over the past few years, the Eastern Wei Dynasty pacified Qizhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, settled the eastern border, and eliminated the northern troubles, and then competed with the Western Wei for Tongguan, Xiazhou, and Lingzhou. Which of these open and secret battles is not for the inevitable battle of reunification in the future?

Not only Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu, Cui Xian, Yang Su, which one doesn't understand? Yuwen Black Otter repaired the internal affairs, placed the six armies, and used talents; King Gao and the prince moved the capital to Ye, and the prince changed the year to select materials for reuse, revise laws and regulations, punish corruption, and deploy defenses everywhere at dangerous passes, and strengthen the people's power with the people's livelihood. The same preparations are all contests, all for the final battle in the world.

Everyone was silent. I don't know how long it took, Cui Jishu's voice suddenly sounded, "What Lord Lang said makes sense." At this time, it is necessary to stabilize inside and outside, Yuwen Black Otter refused to defend the southern border and resist the Liang State, but King Gao was smarter than the Black Otter, and sent an envoy to ask for peace, and Liang had promised it. It's just soft...... Will the prince consider ...... with him again?"

"It's no different whether it's against each other or whatever." Gao Cheng interrupted him without listening to him. Except for Cui Jishu, the other three people were a little surprised. Although the general is a little arrogant, Chanayayan has always been very generous. Besides, Cui Jishu didn't seem to say anything that shouldn't be said.

Gao Cheng continued, "The black otter and the Southern Dynasty are fighting each other, so we must be distracted and hold on. The Southern Dynasty took advantage of the gap to disturb my southern border several times, but my father ordered Hou Jing to supervise the army and imperial Kou, and Liang general Chen Qingzhi attacked and defended between Chu and Huai several times. Because they couldn't make a quick decision, they all called off their troops and asked for peace. Harmony is temporary, and peace is also temporary. Compared to Yuwen Black Otter, he is more vigilant. ”

"In that case, we have to be more thorough." Cui Xian suddenly said, "Sending envoys to marry is a means of penetration. Didn't King Gao just ask the lord to seal a princess of Lanling, and he wanted to marry the prince of Shuofang? Why don't you get married? When in-laws are connected, there is always something to be afraid of. ”

Gao Cheng was silent. Cui Jishu kept looking at Gao Cheng and didn't dare to speak again, he knew best what Gao Cheng was taboo in his heart.

Yang Su said with a smile, "The princess is not a real princess, not to mention the difference between the north and the south, even the prince of Shuofang may not be in his eyes." ”

Everyone knows that Yang Su is right, Shuofang County is not a short-sighted person, and his daughter will eventually be made the queen by the Yuan Bao Torch, so he is willing to marry.

"There's no rush to do this, let's talk about it slowly, you can talk about it in private." Gao Cheng finally relented, but his voice was a little low, and he didn't know if he was tired. He suddenly remembered in his heart the son of Rouran who he had seen in Pujin Pass on the first expedition to the west, the son of Anagui, Bald Tujia. A little absent-mindedly, he said, "You can also invite that Rouran prince to live in Yecheng for a while, he is an interesting person." He knew that Bald Tujia's words also carried weight.

At this point, it's pretty much the same. Several people left one after another.

The night was already dark, and Gao Cheng naturally did not return home, so he stayed in Dongbai Hall.

Yuan Yuyi has been waiting.

By the end of the night, she knew that the people in the greenhouse had dispersed. The entire Dongbai Hall became eerily quiet. She didn't go back to Mulan Fang, where she lived, and was always in Minghe Hall. Lying on that big bed all the time, she always thought that he would go to Mulan Fang to find her, and then come back to Minghe Hall, or he would find her here. But she waited for nothing, and saw no sign of him.

Suddenly, I found that the happiness between them was always so short-lived, and there was no way for people to grasp it. Whenever the pinnacle of bliss passed, there was an immediate estrangement between them. She had never slept in his arms all night, and she always felt far away from him. Even though they have already integrated into each other's bodies, they still feel that there is some barrier between them, far away.

The moonlight reflected in the Minghe Hall, and after a long time in the dark, her eyes had already adapted to the darkness, and she could even see everything in the room clearly. Yuan Yuyi got up and put on her clothes, walked out of the Minghe Hall lightly, and then walked all the way to the greenhouse. She forgot to put on her shoes, the autumn night was already cold, the wind blew through her plain gauze skirt and wrapped her whole body with the cold, she missed that warm embrace very much, even if she could only get another moment. I don't know what was going on under my feet, it hurt a little, the ground was cold, and she could feel the coldness with every step she took barefoot. She wanted something to warm her up.

I didn't even see a slave along the way. Did he really not like people to disturb them, so he sent the guards and slaves away? Turns out he wasn't joking. So, if she can keep him in Dongbaitang, does he belong to her?

Pushing the door in, a warmth enveloped her again. The greenhouse is small, but it gives people a sense of security and warmth, which is particularly important to Yuan Yuyi at this moment. The lights in the greenhouse were dim and almost going out. Sure enough, by the light she could find him at a glance.

Gao Cheng is still in the greenhouse. He was still sitting neatly dressed in the same place where he had sat at the meeting, and he fell asleep on his side.

Yuan Yuyi held her breath and had long forgotten the place where her feet were hurting, and walked slowly, step by step, she was afraid of waking him up. The closer I got, the clearer I see. This man who fell asleep, this well-dressed man looked strange, not like the son who called her "Tanuki".

She had seen him smiling and smiling in private, and when they were together, he almost always had loose hair and casually dressed clothes. With her, he could do anything, say anything, as if he had never known scruples in front of her. She had scarcely ever had the chance to look at him for so long as he looked so neatly crowned and well-dressed, it was another person.

She looked closely, his eyebrows were frowning, what was on his mind? She wanted to sit quietly beside him all the time, and if he woke up, everything would be out of her control.

"The lower officials will be able to protect the princess......" Gao Cheng said suddenly.

Yuan Yuyi was so frightened that she held her breath, didn't dare to move or speak, thinking that Gao Cheng had woken up. It occurred to her that maybe he didn't want to see her here at this moment. She stared at him nervously, but he didn't open his eyes, and there was no sound for a long time, and his breathing became even again, it turned out that he was talking in his sleep.

He was dreaming, she understood, what he had been thinking about in his heart was his princess, Princess Feng Yi. Although he didn't go back to the west to see her immediately, all he thought about in his dreams was her. Yuan Yuyi's heart seemed to be suddenly poured with a bucket of ice water, and she was instantly sober. She had expected such an outcome, but she just didn't want to admit it. And one of his dream words made her have to admit that in his heart, she couldn't compare to Princess Feng Yi. She felt sad in her heart, they were also clan girls, but there was a world of difference between them.

"Your Highness, don't worry...... Don't worry......" he muttered to himself again. It's still her, it's still her.

Yuan Yuyi gently got up and walked out of the greenhouse, the cold wrapped her whole body tightly, and she had nothing but the cold.

Autumn in Yecheng can always have such good weather, sunny and cool. The daytime is bright and the sky is blue, and the good weather makes people feel better. Taiyuan Duchess Li Zu'e got up early in the morning and was ready to enter the palace with her husband Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang, at this moment she was standing outside the queen's Jiaofang Hall waiting for the palace maid to go in to report to the queen, and then she could go in to meet the queen.

While waiting, the moonlight stood outside the palace gate, and I felt that the sunlight was shining warmly on my body, which was a little hot, but it was not as hot as summer, and the unique freshness of autumn was particularly pleasant. Her husband, Gao Yang, stood beside her, maybe the moonlight didn't pay attention, but he felt very clearly that the eyes of the people who came and went to the palace would stay on his wife. Of course, Gao Yang knew that moonlight could surprise everyone's eyes. He likes her deliberate makeup, heavy makeup and beautiful clothes, and likes her to make everyone amazed by her.

The palace maid came out and led them in with a smile, with a rather cautious and respectful attitude. Moonlight also walked towards the courtyard with a slight smile on her face. When she noticed that her husband seemed to be deliberately falling behind her, she also deliberately stopped, and waited for Gao Yang to walk to her side before letting her husband go first and follow behind him.

The palace man who led the way in front felt that there was something wrong behind him, stopped and looked back, but unexpectedly saw a piece of snow-white skin exposed at the low neckline of the Duchess of Taiyuan not far behind her, and the neck and chest were as white and greasy as cheese. Every line and action, every word and word, in others it is an ordinary man, but in the Duchess of Taiyuan it is moving everywhere and different from others.

Early in the morning, the General's Mansion was deserted. The luxurious and magnificent mansion was much less servant because the lord and the master mother were not there, and the slaves and maids who were not driven were naturally much quieter. But no one expected that at this time, Gao Cheng, the general of Lord Lang, suddenly returned. Some slaves and maids didn't even know that the general of the Western Expedition had returned to Yedu.

Gao Cheng calmly and calmly walked through the corridor to the courtyard where the princess Yuan Zhonghua lived. The servants and slaves along the way saluted, but he ignored them, and went to the place where he wanted to go. The slaves and maids had not seen the lord for several months, and they felt that the lord of Lang had come back this time as if it was a little different from before. The naughty childlike nature in him has disappeared, and Lord Lang is already a mature and steady young man.

The slave maid at the gate of the courtyard saw Lord Lang, saluted, and opened the door for Lord Lang. Gao Cheng walked into the courtyard unhurriedly, and did not stop for anyone in the middle. When he entered the courtyard, he saw that although the slaves and maids who greeted him were common, there were no concubines, so he asked why.

Among them, there is a clever reply, the queen invited the general and his wife to enter the palace to the Jiaofang Palace for a banquet, and Ah Jiao has already served the princess out of the palace and into the palace. And Ah Jiao also ordered someone to go to Dongbaitang to send a letter to the general. At this moment, the person who spread the word in the palace should also go to Dongbai Hall.

Gao Cheng didn't say anything and dismissed the slaves. He was not in a hurry to enter the palace, thinking secretly, I am afraid that it is still his sister, and Her Royal Highness the Empress wants to reconcile him and Emperor Yuan Shanjian for yesterday's events. While thinking, he casually walked towards the house where Yuan Zhonghua lived.

The house was well organized, clean and tidy, but it just felt a little colder. I thought there was no one, but suddenly I heard a sound in the bedroom inside. Gao Cheng's heart trembled subconsciously, he was almost hallucinating, and he couldn't help but walk inside.
