Chen Yuankang's heart jumped, and he looked at Gao Cheng facing the bonfire, showing him a side face, calm and calm, and then he was relieved. "General Wuwei is in his own account, so the prince doesn't have to worry." This is actually a pun.

"Yuwen Black Otter is also scheming, and this Hou He has to pay more attention to Brother Changyou." Gao Cheng continued to stir the bonfire with a dry twig and commanded.

Chen Yuankang didn't speak, and lowered his head to look at the bonfire. Only he knows how much effort he put into the Hou family and his son. From the time he knew that the prince was secretly calculated by Hou Jing when he first went to Jiankang, and later in Chang'an, Luoyang, and the previous Xiaoguan and Shayuan, he paid attention to it and knew it very well in his heart.

There are some things that he knows not only about, but also Cui Jishu. The reason why he is willing to tell Cui Jishu is because Cui Jishu is a close friend of the prince, and he is always by the side of the son, so he can always be on guard for the son. In the past, the son of the world was proud, willful, and temperamental, and refused to endure it at all. How dare he tell the world?

Chen Yuankang raised his head and saw Gao Cheng looking at him at a glance.

"Why did the prince leave Hou Jing in Heyin?" He asked, trying to soften his tone.

"It's better to be without him than to have him." Gao Cheng replied to him without idleness, and turned his head to look at the bonfire.

"Does the prince think there is something abnormal about Hou Jing?" Chen Yuankang continued to ask.

"Brother Changyou is a caring person, why did he come to ask me?" Gao Cheng threw away the dry branch in his hand and turned his head to look at Chen Yuankang again.

Chen Yuankang is not dodging, maybe now is the right time. "Since the prince understands everything, I'm afraid that he will have to pay attention everywhere in the future, why should he take Hou He with him?"

"It's better than putting father and son together. Hou Jing is Hou Jing, Hou He is Hou He, and father and son may not be one. Since someone has been doing bad things one after another, they have to find someone to make up for it. Gao Cheng has always spoken in a sparse tone, not like he has a lot of anger in his heart.

Chen Yuankang knew that the prince already knew it at this time. According to Hou Jing's behavior, he has done harm many times and done bad things many times, and the prince can still bear it when he knows it today, and it is really difficult for him. It's just that since then, my heart has been clear, and it is no longer the same as before, and I have to be more careful and double, and I have to deal with it, maybe one day the situation will change abruptly. The proportion and scale in the middle, how to grasp it just right, this is a big problem for the prince.

If you don't understand something, forget it, but since you understand it, you have to pretend that you don't understand, and you have to do the same as before, and you have to maintain the same status on the ground without saying the same, and you are always on guard in your heart, which is really difficult. It's rare that Gao Cheng can still be so calm, and he can push Hou Jing away from the fight with Yu Wentai without a trace to prevent him from secretly doing bad things, and use Hou He to clamp and weigh it, which can be regarded as the extreme.

Chen Yuankang saw that Gao Cheng had a good time and began to stir the bonfire again, as if he was very leisurely, but from the reflection of the firelight, it could be seen that his slightly locked brows were no longer as stretched as before, and the pressure in his heart could also be known.

"General! General!! An urgent call came from far and near, and the voice was anxious and a little flustered.

Chen Yuankang and Gao Cheng raised their heads at the same time and walked away.

"General, Xikou is here!" The anxious voice had come closer.

The Western Wei army, which had just retreated westward not long ago, had already fled without a trace, but for some reason, it was able to go and return in such a short time, surging like a tide. The Eastern Wei army was originally for the purpose of pursuit, but it was negligent in defense, and it did not expect the Western Wei army to counterattack so quickly, and the entire battalion was immediately panicked.

The Western Wei army had already prepared, and the fire crossbow was fired continuously, and it didn't take much effort to turn the camp of the Eastern Wei army into a sea of fire. The Western Wei army surrounded the large battalion of the Eastern Wei army, and the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Wei army, who had no time and no chance to escape, were buried in the fire. The screams, weepings, and angry scolding shook the sky and became one in unison.

Fortunately, the general Gao Cheng was discussing with the auxiliary general Chen Yuankang at the bonfire by the river, so he was spared from being buried in the fire. Seeing the flames soaring into the sky from afar, and hearing the shouts in the sky, Gao Cheng couldn't believe his eyes for a while.

Chen Yuankang also secretly sighed in his heart, Yuwen Black Otter and the general are called brothers, and they have received the grace of the general to return to Guanzhong, but they act so decisively, without any affection. Glancing at Gao Cheng, looking at the camp in the distance, he seemed unmoved, but no one knew what kind of torment he was suffering in his heart.

Gao Cheng suddenly raised his hand and put his finger to his lips and whistled, and his mount heard his master's call and galloped after a while. The Dawan horse did not know what was happening in front of him, and was obviously in a good mood, trotting briskly between his feet and hooves, and obediently stopped in front of his master.

Gao Chengfei got on his horse and whipped the horse without pity, and Da Wanma neighed in surprise and pain, as if he knew his master's intentions deeply, and galloped towards the burning camp.

"General!" Chen Yuankang realized that it was too late to shout, so he quickly ordered someone to lead the horse, and he also flew on the horse and chased after him.

A sea of fire lit up the night sky.

Gao Cheng gathered the escaped generals and soldiers, ordered a big battle with the Western Wei army, and at the same time received the Eastern Wei army soldiers who were still trapped in the camp. There is no distinction between you and darkness, and the two Wei have suffered heavy casualties. But especially the Eastern Wei army fell behind and gradually became difficult to defeat.

Chen Yuankang saw that the general trend had gone, and followed Gao Cheng closely, not daring to leave.

"General, it's better to go back to Heyin first and then make a decision, it's not a good strategy to fight so hard." Chen Yuankang struggled to repel wave after wave of attacks while persuading hard.

At this time, after a night of fierce fighting, the sky gradually brightened, the fire slowly receded, and the melee between the two Wei fell into a stalemate. It is not good for anyone to delay like this. The smoke is so thick that it seems to freeze in the air during the particularly cold winter.

Seeing that the division was tired, Gao Cheng also understood in his heart that he could only do what Chen Yuankang said, but he was absolutely unwilling. But at this time, he couldn't afford to hesitate anymore, almost instantly, and his heart was already painfully determined.

"Shizi ......" Chen Yuankang called, and stopped talking.

Looking up at the situation, preparing to collect the troops and temporarily retreat to Heyin, he inadvertently glanced into the distance, and at the same time heard Chen Yuankang's voice calling him. At a glance, I saw the overwhelming reinforcements of the Western Wei Dynasty that had arrived in front of me. Presumably Chen Yuankang also saw it.

Time seems to stand still all at once. The Western Wei army and the Eastern Wei army in the melee both stopped, and looked at the large Western Wei reinforcements that had arrived in front of them from far and near in different moods. The one who led the reinforcements was Prime Minister Yu Wentai, the hussar general Zhao Gui, and the chariot general Yu Jin.

The Western Wei army was immediately encouraged, and everyone felt that a great victory was just around the corner.

The Eastern Wei army was immediately depressed. Not only the soldiers and soldiers, but even Chen Yuankang felt that this time it might be really difficult to pass. Heyin is behind, but Hou Jing in the city may not be willing to save it, and even if he is willing to save it, it will be too late. There are no reinforcements in front of them, so they can only fight alone.

Gao Cheng also knew in his heart that it was dangerous at the moment, but he was actually calm, although his heart was already searching for intestines and having a chaotic mind, he could sit firmly on the horse and watch Yuwentai lead the army to the front.

"The son, success or failure is only temporary, and the minister is willing to use his life to protect the son of the world to return to Heyin first, and then make a decision." Chen Yuankang Tima approached Gao Cheng and whispered. As long as you keep the general, you will be in the future.

"If you are willing, the black otter may not be willing." Gao Cheng clenched the sword in his hand and whispered.

Yuwentai didn't have the embarrassment of falling off the horse at that time, and he couldn't see that he was injured, but he was in good spirits.

"The general lingers in Luoyang for a long time, doesn't he think of returning?" Yu Wentai lifted the reins in his hand, asked the mount a few more steps forward, and asked Gao Cheng loudly.

The Western Wei reinforcements behind Yuwentai were almost out of sight, and all of them were bright and energetic. Yuwen Tairu was held by the stars, but there was no murderous intent in his eyes, and the tone of the question did not look like sarcasm or mockery.

Gao Cheng knew that Yuwentai was a steady and not frivolous person, and the army was in the back, so he didn't need to use the sharpness of his tongue to tease him at this time.

"If it weren't for the prime minister's several disturbances, why would I stay?" Gao Cheng replied calmly. He is also telling the truth, the strength of the two Wei is equal now, and it is not so easy for anyone to win. It is impossible for either to destroy the other country in one fell swoop.

Everyone wants to take the lead, everyone is always waiting and watching to respond to the sky, and no one is willing to bow down first.

"General! General!! Just when the two armies were tense and the situation was delicate, whether the war was peaceful and the situation was delicate, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves. Hou He, the general of Wuwei of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, rode his horse from afar, and shouted loudly before he got close, "General, the reinforcements have arrived, and the metropolitan governor Gao Ao Cao has come to the aid of the general." ”

Hou He's voice resounded in front of the formation, not only Gao Cheng heard it, but Chen Yuankang heard it; Yu Wentai, Zhao Gui, and Yu Jin all heard it.

The mention of these three words "Gao Aocao" can make the Western Wei army change color, and the Eastern Wei army will be refreshed. Gao Aocao was the first fierce general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, undefeated in a hundred battles, and the Western Wei army was terrified. No one expected that Gao Aocao would suddenly appear at this critical moment, and his name could be worth more than 100,000 armor soldiers.

Zhao Gui, who was beside Yuwentai, had already taken off his bow, quietly took an arrow, approached Yuwentai and said in a low voice, "It seems that the lord's kindness is going down the drain, Gao Cheng is not worried, Hou Jing is treacherous, and Hou Jing, who is willing to be the lord, may not be really willing in his heart." It is better to take this opportunity to attack its unstable foothold. ”

Yuwentai glanced at Gao Cheng and whispered to Zhao Gui, "Yuan is expensive and slow, this is not the time." "It seems to mean to stop Zhao Gui. He had never been so entangled in his heart, and suddenly remembered the young man with braided hair and hakama when he first met Jiankang. At that time, he was Zihui, and he was from Huaishuo.

But Zhao Gui had already opened his bow and arrows.

The mount of the general of Wuwei, Hou He, had already arrived in front of Gao Cheng. Then he repeated loudly, "General, the Metropolitan Governor Gao Ao Cao has arrived!" ”

Gao Cheng's face was gloomy, and he came over to approach Hou He, "So very good, General Wuwei, I ordered you to be the vanguard of the front and the guide of the Metropolitan Governor, and at this moment I ordered you to attack the front of Xikou first, and when the Metropolitan Governor arrived, I naturally ordered the Metropolitan Governor to pick you up." ”

Hou He was stunned, Gao Cheng's voice was gloomy and cold, and his gaze staring at him was extremely sharp, making him afraid and hateful in his heart.

"General, be careful!" Just when Hou He had to accept the order, he suddenly heard Chen Yuankang shouting. At the same time, Chen Yuankang had already urged the horse to rush over.

Gao Cheng heard Chen Yuankang's voice, looked up, and swept an arrow towards him. At this moment, a thousand thoughts turned in my heart. Chen Yuankang swung his sword to block, and his body was almost flying away from his mount, but it was still a fraction of a second.

Gao Cheng leaned to the side, and he clearly heard a dull and muffled sound in his ears, which he could hear more clearly than anyone else. The pain was not so obvious, only the voice deeply irritated him. Chen Yuankang, Hou He, and the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Army were all stunned, watching the general Gao Cheng fall from his horse.

The moment Gao Cheng fell down the moment he fell off the horse, he clearly saw Yuwentai and Zhao Gui, who was still with a bow and arrow next to Yuwentai. Yu Wentai's big, dark eyes were exactly the same as when he first saw him in Jiankang, as if they had never changed. It's just that the smile on his lips is gone, and he's never seen him smile like that again.

"General!" Chen Yuankang seemed to be soaked in cold sweat all of a sudden, and nothing existed in his eyes. I don't know how I got off the horse, I don't know how I got to Gao Cheng's side, but I saw Gao Cheng lying on the ground motionless. "Shizi! Shizi! Shizi! Shizi! ......" Chen Yuankang called desperately as if he couldn't control himself.

On the side of the Western Wei Army, Yuwentai stared at the front of him. Was that really the outcome he wanted? What if one man dies? What he wants is the unification of the two Weis, not the cannibalism of brothers and sisters.

"Capture the thief alive!" Hussar general Zhao Gui raised his sword and ordered.

Hou He, who was still stunned on the side of the Eastern Wei Army, panicked all of a sudden, and his mind was completely blank at this time, not knowing what to do.

But then there was a sea of horses' hooves and whistling.

Hou He looked at his voice, his heart was suddenly happy, and then because of this relaxation, his body was so soft that he was about to fall off the horse as if he was unable to sit on a horse. This time, it was really Gao Aocao, the first fierce general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who led the general to come to the rescue.

The big brown and yellow horse came through the clouds like four hooves in the air. Gao Ao Cao, who was on the horse, was like a golden-armored god, holding a horse plastic in his hand, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted loudly, "Yuwen Black Otter left his life!" The soldiers behind him were all like heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, and they rushed straight towards the Western Wei army.

Chen Yuankang called out repeatedly, and finally saw Gao Cheng slowly open his eyes.

"Shizi......" Chen Yuankang's voice trembled so much that he couldn't speak.

"Brother Changyou...... Hurry back to Heyin City......" Gao Cheng commanded in a low voice, "Send the news to Xikou, just say that I am seriously injured......" Although Gao Cheng's voice was a little weak, it was still coherent. "Tell the Governor that you can't chase after the western thieves, just retreat with the order of attack, and then go back to Heyin to discuss countermeasures."

Chen Yuankang immediately understood that the prince wanted to take the opportunity to make a plan, and it was really difficult for him to use himself as a bitter plan. Chen Yuankang's throat is like a fish, and his heart headache is unbearable.

"Brother Changyou, I'm fine......" Gao Cheng was already pale, and he comforted Chen Yuankang with a smile.
