Chen Yuankang knew that it would be useless to persuade him again, and secretly thought in his heart that what Gao Cheng said was not bad, Kim Yong Xiaocheng had nothing to rely on, since the general did not want to do this, it was better to be fully prepared today, and to capture Kim Yong Yong in one fell swoop tomorrow, so as to avoid making mistakes in the busy.

The city gate opened, and sure enough, Yuwentai's mount went out of the city gate, followed by the hussar general Zhao Gui, and a few cavalrymen.

"Yuan Gui," Yu Wentai stared at Gao Cheng opposite, but whispered to Zhao Gui, who came to his side, "If I lose, you don't have to take care of me, go back to the city immediately and hold on, Si Jing will definitely bring someone to save me." ”

"The lord orders so forgive Yuangui for being disrespectful, and he will not obey his orders." Zhao Gui didn't think about it, and immediately flatly refused, "It is the lord who Yuan Gui supports, the lord is in Yuangui, and the lord is in danger, and Yuan Gui is willing to protect the lord with his life." This is already a bit explicit, but Zhao Gui doesn't care at all, he was originally a general in Guanzhong, and his allegiance is to the ruler of Guanzhong, not the titular Great Wei Tianzi. For Zhao Gui, it doesn't matter who is the emperor of Great Wei, what he is loyal to is that he supported and took over Yuwentai in Guanzhong.

Of course, Yuwentai didn't have time to reprimand Zhao Gui at this time, and although he felt that Zhao Gui's words were inappropriate, it was not a big mistake. In this case, he didn't say anything more, and rode towards Gao Cheng. Zhao Gui had already persuaded him just now, but he insisted on seeing Gao Cheng because he had to come out to explore the truth. At least to know what Gao Cheng thinks, if he can delay it for a few days, his chances of getting out can be greatly increased.

Sure enough, the Eastern Wei army behind Gao Cheng was in his place. Only Gao Cheng rode up to meet him, and he followed Chen Yuankang behind him. Yu Wentai turned around and stopped the cavalry that followed. If Gao Cheng really wants to do something, these cavalry have no effect, so it is really okay to bring it or not. So Gao Cheng, Chen Yuankang, Yu Wentai, and Zhao Gui galloped into the distance in the snow.

Inside Kim Yong City, the ingots torch sitting in the palace room saw that there was no sound outside for a long time, and because it was too cold, he gradually became lazy and sleepy. At this time, the door of the temple opened, and the cold wind took advantage of the gap to enter, and the ingot torch sitting by the brazier seemed to feel something and opened his eyes. When I looked up, I saw that after the temple door was closed, a eunuch hurriedly stepped forward.

The eunuch knelt down beside the Yuan Bao Torch and whispered in his ears, telling him that the prime minister would take the hussar general out of the city to meet Gao Cheng, the general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Yuan Bao Ju turned his head suddenly, staring at the eunuch beside him in astonishment and asked, "Gao Cheng?!" When did he besiege Kim Yong City?! ”

The eunuch briefly recounted the scene of the 300,000 Eastern Wei troops led by Gao Cheng, the general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who had just descended from the sky and surrounded Kim Yong Cheng.

The ingot torch is colder in his heart than on his body. How did Gao Cheng know he was in Kim Yong City? How could these 300,000 Dongkou come so quickly? Now Prime Minister Yu Wentai and hussar general Zhao Gui have gone out of the city, which means that in addition to him, the emperor, there are only a few partial generals, generals and 20,000 cavalry left in Kim Yong City. He, the emperor, has really become a loner at this time of crisis, and there will be no subordinate to shield the Son of Heaven from danger at this moment. If the city is really attacked, the 20,000 cavalry don't know if they can listen to his orders. In this way, wouldn't Kim Yong Cheng be able to go down immediately? He is also in danger of being captured. The Son of Heaven has done it in name only, and his name is not right, but he has to bear the responsibility of the king of the dead country.

Yuan Bao Torch was full of thoughts for a moment, and at this time, the clearest thing in his heart was the shadow of Yue'e. This may be the moment he regrets the most, for the sake of the so-called family and country, he became this emperor and abandoned the person he should not give up the most. If he can return to Chang'an again, he must find her.

"Your lord......" The eunuch saw that the emperor was silent and didn't know what he was thinking, so he called softly.

Yuan Bao Ju didn't speak, waved his hand and let him out. He knew that if he gave orders to the three armies at this time, no one would listen. Unless it really comes to a critical moment, Dongkou is attacking the city, and there may still be soldiers who share his hatred. suddenly woke up, in fact, he didn't know what Prime Minister Yu Wentai was going to do when he went out of the city.

Seeing the eunuch go out, he closed the door of the palace again. The ingot torch has become numb to the cold, and secretly thinks that for the sake of today, he can only wait. He forced himself to compose, and sat patiently by the fire. But at this moment, only he knows, and a moment is as long as eternal life.

Outside of Kim, Gao Cheng's mount took the lead, and he ran a distance to slow down and then rein in his horse, stopping at the edge of a few dead trees. Gao Cheng dismounted, turned around and saw that Yuwentai had also dismounted, threw the reins in his hand at will, and his mount walked slowly and lightly as if he knew what his master meant.

Chen Yuankang and Zhao Gui also followed. Both of them are measured and intelligent people, and they also know their own minds, so the two of them got off their horses and waited a little farther away.

It's a wilderness outside of Kim, and it's like this after being covered in snow. In fact, there is no scenery at all, you can't see the mountains in the distance, you can't see the river in the distance, you can't see the villages clearly, and even these few dead trees are branches and branches full of snow.

Gao Cheng stared at Yu Wentai, with a very special smile in his green eyes, and then slowly walked towards him step by step. The snow was so thick that he made a creaking sound with every step he took. "Brother has always been good? My brother misses my brother every day in Yecheng. It is said that it is missing, but these words make people feel chilling.

"Each other, each other," Yu Wentai was not to be outdone, and said with a smile, "Brother misses Brother Cheng day and night in Chang'an." ”

When the two men stopped, the distance between them was already less than a second, and each stared into the other's eyes without fear. Yuwentai smiled again, "It seems that Brother Cheng is fine, how is Uncle Wang?" After all, when you are old, it is time to meditate and maintain. I'm afraid that I still can't rest assured that Brother Cheng. The tone of the words still regarded Gao Cheng as a child.

Gao Cheng ignored his question and said with a smile, "How did my brother hear that the King of Nanyang also came to Luoyang?" This is where my brother is missing, how can he bring the king of Nanyang to worship the temple and the ancestral tomb again? Aren't you afraid that he will have a heart disease? My brother is all right, but he is not considerate enough. ”

"Brother Cheng originally wanted to see him? In this case, it is better for Brother Cheng to follow me into the city immediately, and the Son of Heaven will sit in the palace in the city. The Lord and Brother Cheng are also old acquaintances, and if they meet Brother Cheng, they will be happy. Does Brother Cheng have the courage to go into the city with me to pay homage to the Lord now? Presumably, the Lord must be willing to accept the gift of the great general. Yu Wentai also retorted, of course, he naturally understood in his heart that no matter how much Gao Cheng was stimulated, Gao Cheng would not enter Jin Yong City with him.

"Uncle joked again, although I and the King of Nanyang are old acquaintances, presumably he has never taken me to heart, but he was like-minded with his uncle when he was in Luoyang, and he passed books for thousands of miles all the time, going back and forth between Luoyang and Guanzhong. It's just that I didn't expect that after the death of the emperor, he would still be able to make such a contract with his uncle, which is really rare. Gao Cheng smiled, "If I meet the king of Nanyang, it will definitely be in Yecheng, and it will never be in Jin Yong City." ”

"Then how does Brother Cheng want to meet? Attack the city on the same day, capture me alive, etc.? Deceive me that the reinforcements have not arrived, and less is more than that? I heard that Brother Cheng brought 300,000 troops down the river bridge and waved his army, I'm afraid he has been waiting here for a long time, right? Yu Wentai also smiled and asked.

"Uncle is too unreasonable, this Luoyang City is the old capital, and Cheng is also a person who misses the old, why is my uncle only allowed to come, and I am not allowed to come? What does it mean to wave an army? Could it be that my uncle thought that Cheng had premeditated? I just came here by chance, and who knew that I happened to meet my uncle and brought the king of Nanyang. Gao Cheng's tone was full of grievances, as if he had really been misunderstood. I don't understand, is it premeditated for my uncle to take the king of Nanyang to worship the temple and mausoleum? Or is it just as popular as Cheng and done it by chance? Gao Cheng also asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Brother Cheng is really magnificent, not like back then. When Brother Cheng traveled to Jiankang, there was only Cui Jishu alone, and now the general has 300,000 armor to follow around when he thinks of it, which is really staggering. Yu Wentai also sneered.

Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai were arguing back and forth, and Zhao Gui and Chen Yuankang, who were a little farther away, looked at these two people as if they were watching the excitement. The expressions of the two men were surprisingly similar, and they were both silent, but they also had mixed feelings in their hearts.

Zhao Gui has never seen Yu Wentai talk so much to anyone, or he has never seen the prime minister talk to anyone so casually and willfully, and he can say whatever he wants. Chen Yuankang has never seen the son of the world so arbitrary and willful, competing for strengths and weaknesses between words, and he is like a little boy who has not grown up. In Yecheng, he has long become a pillar of the country, and no one can see him like this. The Yuwentai that Zhao Gui saw in Chang'an was also **** exhausted, and his brows were always deeply locked. At this time, Kim Yong was besieged, and the prime minister, who was in danger, seemed to have thrown away all the burdens in his heart.

Zhao Gui suddenly turned his head and glanced at Chen Yuankang beside him and asked, "General Changyou, I heard earlier that your lord ordered Hou Jing and Gao Aocao to attack Luoyang City, why did he come by himself?" And with so many people? ”

"General Yuangui doesn't even understand this?" Chen Yuankang also turned his head and smiled, "Naturally, it's because of the big trouble in my heart." ”

"Oh......" Zhao Gui seemed to suddenly realize, and asked again, "If Brother Changyou is convenient, can you tell your brother, then where did Hou Jing and Gao Aocao go?" ”

Chen Yuankang still smiled calmly, "It doesn't hurt to tell Brother Yuan, Situ Gong and the Metropolitan Governor are naturally going to recover the lost land in Henan." Now that Nanfenzhou, Yingzhou, Yuzhou, and Guangzhou have been pocketed one by one, the counties of Henan will be returned to my lord, and it is better not to trust General Yuwen like those vassals in the future. ”

Chen Yuankang's meaning is very clear: the Eastern Wei army is divided into two routes. All the way, the 300,000 troops led by the great general Gao Cheng personally came straight to Kim Yong City, and trapped Yuan Bao Ju and Yu Wentai firmly. On the other hand, Hou Jing and Gao Aocao regained control of Henan, which made Kim a lonely city, and Yuan Bao Ju and Yu Wentai could no longer wait for help in the trapped city.

"I see, teachable, teachable." Zhao Gui said with a smile, although he was already extremely anxious in his heart, he looked like it was none of his business on the surface, and looked at Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai with interest.

Chen Yuankang didn't say anything more.

Gao Cheng was completely unsmiling, staring at Yuwentai Zhengse and said, "Cheng invited the prime minister to come out to meet today because he was thinking of the old brotherhood, and he made it very clear. If the prime minister can take the king of Nanyang out of the city to surrender, Cheng swears by himself that he will not hurt the life of the prime minister and the king of Nanyang. Please return to Yecheng with the prime minister and the king of Nanyang, and the king of Nanyang will still return to his old lordship. I also know that there is a place for the prime minister in the Yecheng temple. My brother can't bear the infamy of splitting the society, but I don't know if my brother can accept my kindness? Gao Cheng's tone became softer and softer, even with a hint of sadness.

"So, the general only remembers the old brotherhood, and today he doesn't regard me as a brother anymore?" Yu Wentai asked rhetorically, his tone also had a touch of sadness, not as tough as it should be.

"Why is the prime minister so entangled?" Gao Cheng frowned and said unhappily. He was originally well-intentioned, even if he couldn't receive it, he didn't have to be so picky.

"If the general is so gracious, if I don't accept it, won't it hurt the general's face? In order to fulfill the general's kindness, the black otter naturally had to accept it. Yu Wentai's expression eased, no longer with anger and sarcasm, and his tone softened a lot, "It's just that the general must also understand that the black otter is now involuntary and can't concentrate on his own will, please let the black otter enter the city to show the lord, and then reply." If the general has no objection, how about a three-day limit? Yu Wentai looked at Gao Cheng with sincerity in his eyes.

"The prime minister's difficulties can also be understood." Gao Cheng smiled and said, "Naturally, you should discuss it with King Nanyang." He just smiled and didn't answer, and didn't promise anything more.

Everything was quiet for a while, a little frighteningly quiet, so quiet that it didn't seem real. There was no reply from inside Kim City, and Kim stood still outside the city. A day and a night passed, and there was still no movement on either side. This day and night is a restless day and sleepless night for many.

When the snow stops, it seems to be the coldest midwinter season, and there is no wind or snow, but the cold is everywhere, and it is impossible to hide. What should come will come, sooner or later. The Eastern Wei military camp in Kim Yong Cheng was quiet on the surface, but in fact the atmosphere was extremely tense.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the general Gao Cheng, the auxiliary general Chen Yuankang, the general of Wuwei, Hou He and others sat together to discuss the matter. Several people, including Gao Cheng, were all wearing hoods and bright light armor, all of them were ready to go. The armor is bright, and everyone is mentally equipped.

Gao Cheng glanced at Chen Yuankang, Hou He, and a few partial generals and generals behind them, "There is no danger to defend Kim Yong City, there is no food and grass in the city, and there are no rescuers outside the city. His voice was cold, and he glanced at everyone again.

The generals obeyed in unison. Chen Yuankang glanced at Gao Cheng, turned back to the general behind him and ordered, "Although Yuwen Black Otter has agreed with the general for three days, this delay plan is nothing more than Black Otter waiting for reinforcements. The besiegers of the city are the most important in attacking, so that the people in the city can know that Situ Gong and the metropolitan governor have recovered the lost counties of Henan, and it is difficult for Xikou to rush to help, and they will die if they hold on, so it is better to go out of the city and surrender. Don't be quick fixes! ”

The generals should claim to be. Only then did Hou He understand that Gao Cheng's invitation to meet Yuwen Black Otter Kim Yong outside the city yesterday was just a suspicion to let him relax his vigilance. I didn't expect the general to be so shrewd, Hou He was surprised in his heart. This made him even more afraid of Gao Cheng.
