Gao Cheng and a few others sat around, and a map was spread out in the middle.

The general Gao Cheng came directly from the palace and was still wearing court clothes, while the rest were in civilian clothes. At this time, I don't care about paying much attention to it. Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu, Cui Xian, and Yang Su all stared at the map, no one spoke, and their minds were on the battle situation.

Gao Cheng sat between Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang and a little back, he didn't stare at the map, he half leaned on the side of him, very relaxed, and glanced at the few henchmen in front of him without hurry.

This way of sitting in a circle makes everyone a part of the circle that binds together, and invisibly strengthens the connection between several people.

"Ji Lun has been busy these days, but he has also been very productive." Gao Cheng mentioned it casually.

Everyone here understands in their hearts that Cui Xian will be the lieutenant of Yushi sooner or later, he is the new favorite of the general, and it is rare that he is not afraid of the strong, purging the near and far, and correcting lawlessness, so that the general Gao Xian is extremely effective when he clarifies corruption, which is also where Gao Cheng values Cui Xian the most. In fact, he also knew that Cui Xian was sometimes narrow-minded, so Gao Cheng didn't care.

"The general decides first, thinks long-term, and the minister is just acting on the orders of the general. Having won the trust of the general, Siam is trembling, only to take the country as his home, regardless of his own body, in order to live up to the trust of the general. "Cui Xian also has a little advantage: he is honest and does not be perfunctory." Clearing the Xiao wall, the general can have no worries, and can concentrate on resisting the attack of the Western Invaders. Cui Xian thought about it again, "The minister has no strategy for the soldiers, but he also knows that the soldiers will move and the armor will be out, and the military expenses will be like running water, and the minister's small work in the past few days has been enough for the general to have no such worries." If you can say such a sure word, you can know that you know it in your heart, and it can be seen that it is also a very supportive material.

Gao Cheng heard this, but he was obviously a lot more relaxed. He straightened forward slightly, no longer leaning on the platform, and just wanted to speak, but suddenly felt that the Sanliang Jinxian crown on his head was very tired, so he reached out to untie the tie. Cui Jishu next to him understood, and immediately came over to help the general remove the high crown on his head.

Gao Cheng was much more comfortable, so he stared at Yutu and pointed with his hand, "Yuwen Black Otter is in a hurry, and he wants to take advantage of Tongguan's small victory and take advantage of the remaining profits." Now pull the beans, Kehengnong, and capture the history of Shaanzhou and 8,000 soldiers, and want to sweep through the annexed Hebei Zhucheng to Luoyang, if I expect it to be good, Henan Zhuzhou is the next place where Yuwen Black Otter wants to go. What do you see? ”

"Lord Lang doesn't have to be anxious, Xikou has encountered natural disasters and the national strength is weak, what strength does he have to attack from afar? I'm afraid that before the heavenly soldiers arrived, Xikou would be scattered like birds and beasts. Although Cui Jishu doesn't know how to use soldiers, he also knows the true situation of Yuwentai. He really thought that the general didn't need to worry so much.

However, Cui Jishu's mind of not worrying at all was too contemptuous of Yuwentai, so Gao Cheng ignored him, leaned back on the table, looked sideways at Chen Yuankang, who was sitting on the other side of him, and asked, "What do you think about Brother Changyou?" He removed the hair bun after the Sanliang Jinxian crown and held it with a green jade hairpin carved with a divine beast, and a few strands of broken hair fell down from the corners of his forehead, brushing his sideburns. It's a little lazy and very tempting.

Chen Yuankang straightened up, sat up and replied, "Yuwen Black Otter came out of desperation, even if it is profitable for the time being, it is an accident, he must know it." Guanzhong has been hungry for many years, and there is no other way, so he ventures to Shaanzhou to get cangsu. If you succeed, you can solve the immediate crisis. If not, there will not be much loss, it is nothing more than empty-handed. That's why Yuwen Black Otter has nothing to fear. It's just that he has been disturbing me back and forth, spending money for no reason, and he has also gained from it. Although the national strength of Xikou is weak, but Yuwen Black Otter is extremely shrewd, and he has come to take Cangsu in Shaanzhou, and he must think that because of the food for me, the army can have enough food, and it is an unexpected gain to attack the city again and again, and this should be the time for me to frustrate its spirit. The general might as well raise the army to go west, go straight to Chang'an, cut off its back road, Yuwen Black Otter must return in a hurry, in order to save Chang'an, and then the attack is all in the hands of the general, and you can't get Yuwen Black Otter. When he was exhausted, he was bound to fail. ”

Chen Yuankang's words made a lot of sense, and the rest of the people were thoughtful and silent. At this time, they are either looking at the map or Gao Cheng, but obviously everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts.

Gao Cheng leaned on the table, raised his right arm to support his elbow on the table, and supported his forehead with his right hand, completely ignoring the wide sleeves of his robe hanging down, revealing a jade-like forearm. He didn't look at Chen Yuankang, as if he was thinking complicated, and lowered his eyes, "What Brother Changyou said is true, but I always think that the land of Henan is very important, and you can't just let Yuwen Black Otter want to take what you want, come when you want, and retreat if you want to." Now Hengnong has been lost, Shaanxi City is in the hands of Yuwen Black Otter, the land route here is the old road of Cuihan, and the waterway controls the Maojin Ferry, if it is controlled by Yuwen Black Otter, it is tantamount to choking the throat of the water and land I want to go to Guanxi......"

Gao Cheng said and inadvertently raised his head and saw Yang Su opposite him looking at him very intently, so he stopped the topic just now and asked, "Why didn't Brother Zunyan say a word?" ”

Yang Yu is the first time to come to Dongbaitang, although he also has to be reused, but unlike Chen Yuankang and Cui's uncles and nephews, he can neither say whatever he wants, nor can he just think of a loyal heart and ignore it.

But when he heard Gao Cheng ask him by name, he replied, "The general is thoughtful. Not only Shaanxi, Henan is the tiger prison, when Jin and Chu fought for hegemony, mourning the prince according to the tiger prison and Zheng service, Zheng service and Chu had to retreat to the south of Fangcheng, mourning the prince eventually became a hegemon. There is nothing to worry about success or failure for a while, and the land must not be lost, and the general should divide his troops to save Henan, and he should not let the Yuwen black otter drive straight in. ”

Gao Cheng nodded frequently when he heard this, which was also what he thought in his heart. In fact, both sides of the two Wei understand that Yuwentai and Gao Cheng are both heroes, and they both have the heart to annex the world. Yuwentai's interest is obviously the control of the Henan counties, the tiger prison, the river bridge, everywhere is a chokehold, naturally to fight. Gao Cheng also knew it in his heart, and of course he couldn't let go at all. If the road is open and the world is open, the control is in your own hands, and it is a matter of time before you take the world, just wait for the opportunity.

Listening to Yang Su's talk about Jin Mourning Gong, Cui Jishu subconsciously glanced at Gao Cheng, and then retracted his gaze to look at his nephew Cui Xian next to him, Cui Xian listened with relish and did not pay attention to his uncle. Cui Jishu had a very awkward feeling in his heart. Mourning the fourteenth anniversary of Gongsun and entering the Jin Kingdom, during his reign, he repaired internal affairs and Jing Wai, so that the Jin Kingdom tried to dominate the industry again, but it was a pity that the day was not a holiday, and the mourning prince died violently at the age of twenty-nine.

When Cui Jishu looked up at Gao Cheng again, it happened that Gao Cheng was also looking at him.

"General, Marquis Jing of Puyang County has been operating in Henan for many years, and his foundation is not shallow. In addition, Yuwen's black otter seized Henan and was very urgent, so he could make the generals of Puyang go out of Henan to meet Xikou. Cui Jishu said his idea.

"As Shilang said, the Duke of Puyang has been operating in Henan for many years, do you want the general to add more troops to him to strengthen his momentum?" Chen Yuankang suddenly preemptively questioned Cui Jishu in front of Gao Cheng.

Cui Jishu saw Chen Yuankang staring at him, and suddenly remembered that when the prince traveled to Jiankang, there was also the sudden death of He Bayue, and when Gao Cheng fought for control of Guanzhong and went to Chang'an, Hou Jing harmed him several times, and it seems that Chen Yuankang has always been in his heart. Cui Jishu felt that he was careless, but he was a little remorseful, and said to Chen Yuankang with a red face, "It's me who was careless, General Changyou forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter if Hou Jing is unreliable, the general can send a reliable person to fight against the Yuwen Black Otter with him." Yang Su reminded. I could tell he was thinking deeply.

Gao Cheng did not shy away from saying, "All the princes are Zihui's henchmen, and I don't have to scruple." Henan is in danger, Hou Jing is already anxious, and naturally I can't wait for him to increase troops to save him. It's just that he has an old relationship with Yuwen Black Otter, and he is afraid that he wants to take the land of Henan, so he simply votes for Yuwen Black Otter to take me as an enemy; Second, whether Hou Jing loses the black otter, or the black otter loses Hou Jing, the gains outweigh the losses. Hou Jing has already asked his father to fight, and his father has already agreed to him, but I still hesitate in my heart. ”

Chen Yuankang thought about it again and again, "Yang Langzhong's words make sense, the general just needs to send a reliable person to follow, let Hou Jing go to fight the Yuwen black otter, current affairs are changing rapidly, the general can respond accordingly, if you take Chang'an directly, why be afraid of the Yuwen black otter?" Hou Jing is swaying from side to side, the general is stronger than Yuwen Black Otter, he will not dare to rebel. ”

"What's more, his son, General Wuwei, Hou He, is still in the hands of the general." Cui Xian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reminded.

Gao Cheng didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully.

"General, although the Yuwen Black Otter is menacing, there is no need to worry too much, but the Rouran Department and Nanliang also want to take advantage of the gap, and it is necessary to guard against it." Chen Yuankang saw that Gao Cheng was silent, and reminded him again.

Cui Xian glanced at Chen Yuankang, and felt in his heart that he always wanted to show that he was the most thoughtful, and also said to Gao Cheng, "Since Rouran and Nanliang both want to take advantage of the situation, they will definitely not be willing to come out with their own efforts, and they will not be able to work together, and they can't be single-minded when they sway left and right, and there is nothing to worry about." ”

Cui Jishu suddenly had an idea and smiled at Gao Cheng, "I heard that Yuwen Black Otter has just agreed on a marriage with the son of Rouran, Bald Tujia, and the son of the Duke of Shuofang County, Anagui, and the Duke of Rouran will be made the queen by the Yuan Bao Torch. And kiss this matter, Yuwen Black Otter did it, and the general also did it, wouldn't it be worry-free and effort-saving? ! He thought he had a plan, full of surprise, and his voice suddenly rose to a high level, drawing everyone's attention to him. And hearing Cui Jishu say this, everyone's eyes were focused on Gao Cheng again.

Several pairs of eyes stared at Gao Cheng together, but they didn't speak, as if they all agreed with Cui Jishu's opinion, waiting for Gao Cheng to make a statement.

Gao Cheng still didn't speak, his beautiful green eyes stared at Cui Jishu, and subconsciously stroked his right cheek with his hand, his fingers were slender and beautiful. The ceremony had just been completed, and he didn't understand how Cui Jishu could say such a thing, the new queen was his own sister after all. Queen's Throne

It's not that important, but it's not that unimportant. He can't have sex with this sister. If Emperor Yuan Shanjian is stuffed with a Rouran concubine at this time, my sister will definitely feel uncomfortable. Besides, Yuwentai made Bald Tujia's sister the queen, and if he proposed to make Princess Rouran as a concubine again, I am afraid that even Bald Tujia would be disdainful, not to mention his father, the prince of Shuofang County, who was a scheming man.

Cui Jishu understood Gao Cheng's thoughts very well, and lowered his voice when he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, "As long as Lord Lang is willing, Princess Rouran and Princess Nanliang must also have a thousand wishes." Does it matter if it's the queen? Isn't Lord Lang a hundred times stronger than that ingot torch? In this way, whether it is Rouran or Nanliang, they have all become in-laws, even if they won't help me attack him, they will definitely not help him attack me again. ”

It turned out that Cui Jishu meant to let the general marry himself, and the other people suddenly realized that they had different expressions. Chen Yuankang is a steady person, bowing his head and saying nothing. Yang Su smiled on his lips, obviously thinking that this was a good idea. Cui Xian also frowned and was silent.

Dongbaitang has a foreign wife placed by the general, and these people naturally know about it. The most unhappy thing about this is Cui Xian, who wanted to persuade several times, because he felt that the dancing girl was inexplicable, but Sheng Pet actually had too much to do with the princess. He listened to his uncle's words and felt that the idea was quite not bad. Maybe you can take the opportunity to dispose of that grandmother.

Gao Cheng leaned back and lowered his eyes silently, as if he was a little entangled, and as if he was carefully weighing Cui Jishu's suggestion.

"Rouran captured three piles of cities last time, and later King Gao sent people to take them back. Nanliang has been staring at Huairu, Huairu wants land, this can't be good. Chen Yuankang didn't propose anything about getting along with his relatives, but what he was thinking about was that he couldn't afford to lose, and it was also because he was thinking about the long term.

"What Cui Shilang said is also the best of both worlds." Yang Su suddenly spoke. "If you don't lose the soldiers, you don't have to spend money, it's worth it to clear the chaos and get temporary peace."

"What is Yang Langzhong's words?" Cui Jishu glanced at Yang Su dissatisfiedly, "What's not wasteful?" The son of the world dedicates himself to the beautiful man's plan, is the price still small? It's just that I wronged the son. "Cui Jishu is really ridiculous to protect the lord of Lang.

Yang Su lowered his head and smiled, but did not answer.

"General, the princess is the lord's sister, if it is for the temporary peace of the society, the general will be Na Rouran and Princess Nanliang as concubines, but Dongbaitang is a place for the general to discuss politics, and it is not suitable to place a woman here." Cui Xian, who had been wrinkling his eyebrows and saying nothing, suddenly broke the relaxed atmosphere very inappropriately and brought up a new topic that seemed to have nothing to do with it.

And Gao Cheng has been leaning on the table and bowing his head in contemplation, letting a few henchmen tease him, he doesn't seem to hear it. Hearing Cui Xian's words, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were a little cold.

Not only Gao Cheng, but also Cui Jishu and Yang Su smiled, Yang Su bowed his head and was silent, Cui Jishu glanced at Gao Cheng uneasily and looked at his nephew reproachfully. Only Chen Yuankang seems to have nothing to do with himself.

"Cui Jilun, are you managing a little too much?" Gao Cheng was not angry, but was obviously unhappy. He doesn't like being interfered with by others.
