One pretends to say goodbye, and the other pretends to send each other. Hou Jing and Yu Wentai both looked as if they really wanted to say goodbye.

The governors of the Western Wei Dynasty also followed behind Yuwentai. But Yu Jin, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and he stretched out his arm to block Zhao Gui beside him. Li Bi saw him like this, and he also stopped tacitly. The governors looked at each other, and no one spoke, but a common tacit understanding had been formed in their hearts.

Yu Wentai walked outside the Chinese army's tent with Hou Jing, looked at the starry sky and said with a smile, "I don't know how the general in the camp is looking forward to the county prince going back to his life soon." He had something to say, and he wasn't drunk at all. That slightly drunk look just now is not real.

Hou Jing was stunned, and immediately smiled, "What the prime minister said is that I should go back to my life as soon as possible." He was full of helplessness like that, and he deliberately wanted Yuwentai to see that he couldn't help himself.

Yu Wentai withdrew his gaze looking up at the starry sky, stared at Hou Jing with a pair of huge black eyes, and said with a smile, "What if I stay with the county prince for a longer time?" ”

originally thought that Hou Jing would be embarrassed for at least a moment, but who knew that Hou Jing immediately smiled and said, "If the prime minister has this intention, why don't I go back?" He looked left and right, and smiled meaningfully, "The helmet in the prime minister's camp is bright, the food and grass are sufficient, although I haven't seen the soldiers drilling, but it is also extraordinary, this battle will definitely put Gao Cheng'er to death." The prime minister called, and Wanjing was willing to follow the prime minister. ”

After Hou Jing finished speaking, his gaze crossed Yuwentai, glanced at the Western Wei Governor in the distance behind him, and then withdrew his gaze, deliberately staring at Yuwentai to see him reflect.

Who would have thought that Yu Wentai laughed and said, "The public eyes are like an eagle falcon, which is really admirable." "What is bright in the light is real, and what is real is virtual. What seems to be virtual hidden in the invisible is actually real. Both of them understand this and do not explain it in detail.

It is precisely because of the lack of troops that it is hidden. It is precisely because of the shortage of grain and grass that it is deliberately piled up.

Hou Jing thought that the time had come, so he smiled and said, "The prime minister does not withdraw his troops, and intends to take this opportunity to fight with the Gao family, Gao Cheng'er and the prime minister think the same." It's just that Wanjing doesn't know what the prime minister's intention is in this battle? Gao Cheng'er is already blazing in his heart, intending to take Chang'an directly and swallow the world. ”

As soon as these words came out, Hou Jing was even more witty and sophisticated, and Yu Wentai no longer hid it, and said bluntly, "The general has the world in mind, and he has long had the intention of taking the world." The black otter has no such thoughts, and is not in a hurry. The appetite is very small, and the cannibalization can be. He looked at Hou Jing, "I have been in Henan for many years, if I really lose my place, it is a pity, a pity." Wang Henan, who should be the non-public? ”

As soon as these words came out, Hou Jing was overjoyed, especially the words "Wang Henan", which were clear to his ears, and it was simply Yuwentai encouraging him to dominate Henan and promising him huge benefits. This is the extremely high authority that Gao Huan has never given him.

Hou Jing endured the ecstasy in his heart, and still said quietly on the surface, "I and the prime minister were old before, so why do you have to see each other like this?" Wanjing and Dacheng are very compatible, and if you talk about them as friends, how can you compare them with benefits? The prime minister has a great strategy, Wanjing is respectful, and I wish the prime minister a helping hand. ”

This is an expression of the desire to be inward-bound. The words are high-sounding, not only elevating Yuwentai, but also elevating himself.

"It's just that Gao Cheng sticks to the outside and wants to win quickly, and if the prime minister is in a hurry to get out of the customs, it will be unfavorable to move lightly. It is advisable for the prime minister to stick to it, wait for it to be tired for a long time, and then lure it into battle, and if you hit it in one fell swoop, you can win. It is best to find a convenient place, so that it can not give full play to its advantages, and change its length to its short, so that the prime minister can influence this child. ”

This strategy is similar to what Li Bi said.

So at that moment, Yuwentai left Hou Jing in Tongguan and sent someone to send a letter to Gao Cheng.

The summer was sweltering, but the atmosphere in the Eastern Wei military camp outside Tongguan was not as dull as the weather.

"What?!" The angry shouts of the general Gao Cheng came from the big tent of the Chinese army. His face was flushed with rage, and his face was almost the same color as the crimson shirt he was wearing. Gao Cheng looked at the sergeant who came in in and replied in disbelief.

Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, actually detained his order to send the Puyang County Duke and Situ Hou Jing to the Western Wei military camp.

"Then why did the Yuwen Black Otter detain my father?" Hou He, the general of the military guard standing below, was also shocked. He had never seen such a scene, and he always thought that his father Hou Jing went deep into the camp of the Western Thieves and was detained, and he was afraid that he would be more than lucky. His somewhat rude question reminded Gao Cheng and brought him to his senses from his rage.

The sergeant glanced at the general, and Gao Cheng frowned and said nothing. The sergeant saw that the general didn't look at him, but unconsciously lifted the Titu-colored lower skirt slightly, leaned back on the table, supported it with his elbows, and held his forehead with his hand and didn't know what he was thinking.

The sergeant glanced at Hou He again, and said in the middle of the period, "Only a message was sent from the Xikou camp that Yuwen Black Otter asked the general to enter Tongguan in person to ask for someone, or he could let the county prince come back, otherwise he would invite the county prince to Chang'an." Yuwen Black Otter and the county lord are old days, and if the general is willing to give the county prince to him, he is grateful. ”

Hou He heard this and glanced at Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng didn't say a word, just waved his sleeves impatiently and ordered the sergeant to go out.

"General, my father's life depends on the general." Hou He stared straight at Gao Cheng, for fear that he would abandon his father.

Chen Yuankang saw Hou He's eagerness, so he tried his best to comfort him in a soothing tone, "General Wuwei, the Duke of Puyang County has a lot to do with that Yuwen Black Otter, and the general doesn't need to force the general to ask for someone immediately." Chen Yuankang was afraid that Gao Cheng would be stimulated by Yuwentai and persecuted by Hou He, so he was anxious and angry, and made some impulsive decision.

"Changyou," Gao Aocao, who had been sitting on the side, didn't speak for a long time, watching coldly, and then suddenly said, "Hou Wanjing was sent on the order of the general, how could the general abandon him at this time?" Gao Aocao spoke more politely to Chen Yuankang, because he had always had a good impression of this former subordinate. This is rare in Gao Aocao, who is unchangeable and arrogant.

He was a little blind to Hou Jing, but if Gao Cheng really abandoned Hou Jing at this time, he wouldn't be able to stand it. So what he said was not so much asking Chen Yuankang as questioning Gao Cheng.

"Fu Gong, how can the general really abandon the county prince, but you can't ruin a big deal because of the Puyang county prince alone." Of course, Chen Yuankang also knew that Gao Aocao could not be offended. Not to mention him, even King Gao is very different from Gao Aocao.

Gao Aocao is actually not a vexatious person, of course he also knows that what Chen Yuankang said is right. If Yuwentai retained Hou Jing just to lure Gao Cheng into his camp, then it was Hou Jing who was detained, but if he really even detained the general, wouldn't it be even worse? It's just that he is a little curious now: if he has to go to the camp of the Western Wei Dynasty to ask for someone, whether this Gao Cheng boy has the courage to enter Yuwentai's camp.

"Needless to say." Gao Cheng straightened up and glanced at Hou He and Gao Aocao, his eyes were very sharp, and he seemed to be able to fully understand the thoughts of these two people. "Since Yuwen Black Otter has this invitation, why don't I go to Tongguan to see him? If he doesn't want the world to laugh, he will definitely hand Situ over to me and bring him back. ”

"Shizi!" Chen Yuankang was anxious when he heard this, stood up and looked at Gao Cheng and said loudly, "Yuwen Black Otter is not a benevolent gentleman, how can the prince be a villain with the belly of a gentleman?" ”

"There is no need for the general to go to the invitation of the Yuwen Black Otter alone, as long as he writes a letter to the Black Otter and orders him to return Situ." Gao Aocao is also a person who knows the importance of importance.

Gao Cheng's expression didn't look like he was pretending, but he was young and vigorous and wanted to save face, and he really wanted to break into the camp of the Western Wei army. He is the commander of a country, how can he be in danger. Gao Aocao also did not advocate really letting Gao Cheng enter Tongguan to see Yuwentai.

He suddenly glanced at Hou He and said, "General Wuwei can enter the customs and deliver a letter for the general." ”

Hou He was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Gao Cheng glanced at Hou He, got up slowly, and straightened his clothes, "It's okay." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yuankang, who originally wanted to persuade him, closed his lips and did not speak again. He took it for granted that Gao Cheng meant that he agreed to Gao Aocao's proposal.

Gao Aocao glanced at Hou He and didn't speak again.

"General!" Hou He shouted, his face was frightened, but he was speechless for a while.

Gao Cheng walked outside, "General Wuwei will enter Tongguan with me to go to the appointment of Yuwen Black Otter." After speaking, he left three people with different expressions and walked outside the Chinese army's tent.

Outside Tongguan, Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, looked at the Eastern Wei people and horses coming from him calmly. Yu Wentai was dressed in Mingguang armor and wore a hood on his head, and he even watched with a slight smile on his lips as Gao Cheng, the commander of the Eastern Wei Army, rode his horse until he approached.

Except for Yu Jin, none of the several generals behind Yuwentai had ever seen this general. I've heard a lot of rumors about this great general. Today, when I saw the "Great General" coming slowly and slowly, until they saw them, they were all a little curious and fresh. And the general is still a weak-crowned young man, and he has a dazzling appearance that makes people dare not look at the country and the city, which makes the governors of the Western Wei Dynasty even more surprised and amazed.

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, the hussar general Zhao Gui whispered to Li Bi, the governor of the capital, beside him, "This general man, girl?" He looked at Gao Cheng with both admiration and mockery in his eyes.

Li Bi looked at Gao Cheng with his eyes, and also whispered to Zhao Gui, "How can I fool a child?" Such a joking tone is really rare for Li Bi.

Only the general of the cavalry, Yu Jin, did not have a trace of smile lines on his face, staring at Gao Cheng from far and near behind Yu Wentai.

Gao Cheng also saw Yuwentai from a distance as if he was being held by the stars, not to mention that the armor was majestic and not like when they met in Luoyang a few days ago. With only this majestic momentum, he suddenly felt that Yuwentai might be more like the lord of Western Wei than the Yuan Bao Torch.

"General," when Gao Cheng had already arrived, Yu Wentai also drove forward to meet him, and said with a smile, "Thinking of it, I finally looked forward to the general." ”

"Since the prime minister is sincerely invited, how dare Cheng not come?" Gao Cheng also smiled. The smile on his lips was amazing enough.

Gao Cheng said politely, but Chen Yuankang and Hou He, who followed behind him, were both vigilant and frightened, and they were not as relaxed as him.

Yu Wentai also heard that there was something in Gao Cheng's words, and the so-called "sincerity" was an implicit mockery, ridiculing him to detain Hou Jing. Yu Wentai said with a smile, "I and the general and the Duke of Puyang are all old people, it is not easy to gather today, why don't the generals come and settle down, and the cause is the matter?" ”

Yuwentai turned the horse's head, walked side by side with Gao Cheng, and went to the pass together. Chen Yuankang insisted on following Gao Cheng without giving in, and Hou He also followed Chen Yuankang. The governors of the Western Wei Dynasty fell behind, and just saw the great prime minister Yu Wentai stretching out his hand to lead the horse for Gao Cheng and take care of him.

"My uncle is right. It's just that my uncle acts like this, which inevitably makes people feel unhappy. Gao Cheng sat on the horse and enjoyed Yuwentai's care, and lost his temper at Yuwentai as if no one was around. A face was tense, and there was no smile at all. If it was elegant and graceful just now, now it is capricious, more like an unruly teenager. Pretending to be full of frost is more worthy of people savoring this unparalleled face than when smiling like a spring breeze.

"Brother Cheng, forgive me." Yuwentai said with a smile, "The last time I was in the mountains, Brother Cheng came up to fight and kill, and I was not allowed to say anything in detail, my brother was really impatient to make this decision, so that I could invite Brother Cheng into Tongguan to say a few words calmly." Yuwentai was very accommodating to him, completely coaxing a child's attitude, extremely gentle.

Gao Cheng turned his head sideways to look at Yu Wentai. The last time they met in Bishan, Yu Wentai didn't come up and fight and kill, and it was hard for him to talk about it so calmly now. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that at that time, both of them wanted to put the other to death. "Since my uncle has made such a great effort to invite me to meet, I guess I have something important to say, right? But please speak up. ”

Yuwentai heard Gao Cheng suddenly ask this question, but he choked up. This makes sense, if there is nothing important to say, why bother to meet so hard? But Yuwen Tai smiled after a pause, "Brother Cheng is too anxious, so he is invited, must there be something?" Yu Wentai knew that there were too many people behind them, and what he wanted to say was not rushed to the exit, it needed to be brewed slowly, and it was best to say it only to Gao Cheng alone.

Gao Cheng understood what Yuwentai meant after a little thought, so he smiled and said nothing, and no longer asked.

When they arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, they each dismounted, and both sides entered the big tent of the Chinese army with the prime minister and the general.

Hou He followed him in and looked around, but he didn't see his father, Hou Jing.

Gao Cheng had long known that Yuwentai would not openly put Hou Jing in the big tent of the Chinese army and wait for him, so he simply didn't look left and right at all, just waited for Yuwentai to order someone to send Hou Jing out.

At the moment, Yuwentai ordered the wine to be set up for a banquet, and the atmosphere in the big tent of the Chinese army became lively. Gao Cheng kept smiling and silent, willing to be the guest of honor, and let Yuwentai arrange it. Only Chen Yuankang followed closely by Gao Cheng's side. Hou He can be regarded as following the world.
