Chapter 161: It is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false of the Shundi Temple (1)
Gao Cheng reacted very quickly, first flashed, then drew his sword and shot like lightning, and slashed at the white bright sword blade that attacked again with all his strength.
The golden blades clashed, sparks splashed everywhere, and a loud noise shook all illusions.
The two swords collided, and both of them woke up like a dream, and when they saw each other at a glance, they secretly channeled their whole body strength on the blade of the sword, and the two swords were as restless as two golden snakes eager to try.
"It turned out to be my uncle." Gao Cheng couldn't see that he had tried his best, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, I miss it very much, I think about it deeply, and I am about to go to Chang'an to visit, why did my uncle come first?" He was very happy in his heart, but he didn't expect Yuwentai to personally lead troops to attack Pusaka.
"Brother Cheng," Yu Wentai's hand clenched the sword, and the strength of his whole body was all on the wrist of his right hand at the moment, the corners of his lips were slightly bent upward, and the wind was so faint that he seemed to be smiling, "I have the same heart as my brother." Brother is not talented, Guanzhong has failed to harvest year after year, and the national strength is insufficient, so he is afraid that Uncle Wang will be disappointed, so he does not dare to go to Yecheng to visit. I don't want Uncle Wang to miss me, so I specially ordered Brother Cheng to come, but to help me? I haven't seen you for a long time, is Uncle Wang okay? I heard that Brother Cheng is an assistant to the government, and the temple dare not obey orders, even the Son of Heaven has to look at Brother Cheng's face. ”
"It seems that my uncle really misses me. I heard that my uncle's power is unmatched in Chang'an, and the emperor not only looks at his uncle's face, but also his life is in his uncle's hands. Gao Cheng smiled.
"Brother Cheng has now become a general, why is he still a kid who loves to joke? The temples of Chang'an have no grace and authority, so how can the monarchs and ministers divide each other? Even between the rivers and lakes, the people are also deeply affected by the grace of the Son of Heaven, and they all feel the virtue of the Son of Heaven. Yu Wentai smiled again.
"Uncle is really hard and has lost a lot of weight." Gao Cheng sighed, "My father was worried about my uncle, so he ordered me to visit." Gao Cheng also smiled.
"Thanks to Uncle Wang's kindness, the black otter is grateful, why don't you go back and pick up Uncle Wang to live in Chang'an, so that the black otter can do his filial piety?" Yu Wentai also smiled very seriously.
Chen Yuankang, Yu Jin and the sergeant behind the two people were all tense, but it happened that Chen Yuankang and Yu Jin were extremely cautious people, and no one acted rashly.
Gao Cheng's strength on his wrist did not decrease, he glanced down, then looked up at Yuwentai and said with a smile, "Although my uncle is older than me, he also likes to joke. Sharp blades, not to mention my father, even I don't dare to see my uncle again. ”
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, let Brother Cheng laugh." Yu Wentai greatly relaxed the strength on his wrist.
Gao Cheng felt it and withdrew his strength.
Both men took their swords back.
Each of them estimated in their hearts that at this time, each side brought hundreds of light horses, one camped on the east bank, and the other was jammed on the west bank, and it seemed that they were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. In fact, no one wants to rush into battle under Pusaka Castle at this moment, which is not what they want.
Gao Cheng smiled first, "Since my uncle is here, why don't you cross the river with me and go to Puban City together, you and I will drink and talk happily and talk about our feelings after farewell." Gao Cheng smiled at each other, and asked meaningfully, "Uncle won't dare to go, right?" Without waiting for Yu Wentai to answer, he said, "Uncle, don't worry, my uncle and I only talk about brotherhood, not about war, and never endanger my uncle's life." ”
Yuwentai is in the middle of it. smiled and said, "Brother Cheng's words are too outrageous, so what if I give my life to Brother Cheng." Yu Wentai laughed and said, "Brother Cheng has this mind, so I ordered the sergeant to stop fighting for three days, and I will not move a single soldier lightly during these three days, so I will follow Brother Cheng to Pusaka." ”
Chen Yuankang didn't expect Yuwentai to personally send troops to Pusaka, but he was willing to sacrifice himself to cross the river and didn't know what the meaning was, and it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't think about it elsewhere, so he came alone to be a bait.
Yu Jinze's heart was already tightened, but he didn't expect the lord to risk his life so much for the sake of the community. If you enter the camp alone, if something happens, even if Tongguan defeats Dou Tai, what's the point?
But Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai seemed to have put down the war, not mentioning the war situation, it was really like a long-lost brother, and the two of them had already laughed and talked hand in hand.
Without spending a single soldier, the general brought back Yuwentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the morale of the Eastern Wei army on the east bank of the Yellow River rose suddenly.
Hou He, the general of Wuwei, stood outside his tent, watching from a distance as the general Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, entered the big tent of the Chinese army with a smile, followed by Yu Wentai, the general of the Western Wei chariot cavalry. The general was also surrounded by the auxiliary general Chen Yuankang, the Huangmen squire Cui Jishu, and the general's confidant Cui Xian.
Hou He thought this scene was very strange. If it was really the general who captured Yuwentai alive, he should have been tied up and escorted, rather than treated like a guest. He didn't see the murderous aura on the general's face, and he didn't know what kind of relationship the general had between him and this Yuwentai. Since the accompanying officials and generals are here, presumably the general will also order someone to pass him to the big tent of the Chinese army, and he can take this opportunity to take a good look at who this Yuwentai is.
But Hou He miscalculated.
After a long time, I didn't see anyone sent by the general. Ask again, the Chinese army's big tent has already been feasted. Hou He felt quite uncomfortable, but he just asked the sergeant a few words lightly and very casually, and then went back to his military tent alone. He is the son of Marquis Jing of Puyang County, in the eyes of others, father and son are connected, and he knows how to deal with himself. But he couldn't help but have a question in his heart, why did the general bring him with him during the western expedition?
The big tent of the Chinese army opened the Hongmen banquet, and Yuwentai certainly understood in his heart that this was the Hongmen banquet. He dared to follow Gao Cheng across the river and enter the Eastern Wei military tent alone, he had already thought of this and put life and death aside.
The big tent of the Chinese army is very tall, the built-in furnishings are gorgeous, not like the general Chinese army, but a bit like the study of the son of the family, all the volumes and toys on display are very elegant and elegant. Yu Wentai is a caring person, Yu Jin is a careful person, and both of them see it in their eyes.
Here Gao Cheng held a high-profile banquet, Chen Yuankang, Cui Jishu, Cui Xian, Yu Wentai, and Yu Jin turned out to be ministers of the same hall, not strangers. It's just that now they are the ministers of the two Weis, and although they are not strangers to meet at this time, they are a little awkward.
Yu Wentai and Yu Jin are naturally cautious in their words and deeds.
Only Gao Cheng was alone, talking and laughing like no one.
"Did my brother only bring hundreds of light horses to Pujin Pass?" Gao Cheng gestured to Yuwentai. The battle is like an arrow on the string, and it is about to break out. If we really talk about armistice and get together, we only talk about brotherhood, not about war, but in fact we can only talk about it, and it cannot be true. Gao Cheng's character is naturally outspoken.
"Brother Cheng laughed." Yuwentai drank it all, his face was gloomy, "You and my brother, I can't hide it." My brother also knows that Guanzhong has not harvested any grains this spring, and now the people of Guanzhong have died seven or eight out of ten, and the national strength has declined, and there are really no available soldiers. Uncle Wang took advantage of the time again, and suddenly sent his younger brother to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, and the black otter did not dare not come to see Brother Cheng. If Brother Cheng really wants to raise troops on a large scale, the black otter can only fellowship with his life. ”
Gao Cheng smiled and said nothing.
Cui Jishu glanced at Gao Cheng and asked Yuwentai with an expression of disbelief, "According to what the public said, Guanzhong suffered from this natural disaster, but did he ask about the will of heaven?" Although Cui Jishu was as white and fat as dough, his eyes were round at this time, and he looked completely puzzled, and he was very ignorant.
Choi almost burst out laughing. I admired my uncle very much, and my uncle asked with concern on the surface, but in fact, didn't he say that Xikou was sent by heaven? I couldn't help but get carried away for a while, relying on the general's weight, and smiled at Yuwentai, "Yuwen envoy doesn't need to divination, and he also knows what the will of heaven is." It's just that I don't know that under the pressure of the heavenly soldiers, the general of my family's lord Lang is waiting for him, how can the public deal with himself? ”
Chen Yuankang lowered his head slightly, but remained silent.
Gao Cheng let his favored ministers be presumptuous, and still looked at Yu Wentai and smiled silently.
Yu Wentai's face was already slightly red, and he lowered his head and just ate to hide it.
On the contrary, it was the general of the cavalry, Yu Jin, although he was calm and steady, he really couldn't help it, he got up and held the birthday for Gao Cheng, glanced at Cui Jishu and Cui Xian's uncle and nephew, and said to Gao Cheng, "The general is so indulgent to his subordinates, and the arrogant generals are easy to lose......" He paused, stared at Gao Cheng and said, "The general must understand this truth, right?" Although the words were not polite, Yu Jin's tone was not intense, and he was neither humble nor arrogant to Gao Cheng, nor did he lose his manners. This is indeed Yu Jin's character.
Gao Cheng raised his head to signal Yu Jin, but he didn't speak, he drank it all, stared at Yu Wentai who was silent with sharp eyes, and suddenly asked, "Since my brother knows that the will of heaven is like this, my brother thinks that my brother is a person who understands, why don't you stop fighting and go back to Yecheng with me to see my father?" My brother also knows that my father is very important, and if I stay in Yecheng in the future, I will definitely be able to be a high-ranking official, and I can also live with my brother and get along day and night. Is it better to make people angry? ”
Cui Jishu and Cui Xian were eager to try and wanted to say something. But Gao Cheng's eyes swept over them, with an obvious intention to stop them. They both sat down in disagreement.
Only Chen Yuankang understood that the prince and Yuwentai were fighting to find out the true situation of Yuwentai, and they couldn't always let Cui Jishu and Cui Xian Yaowu talk so quickly here, but interrupted what Yuwentai and Yu Jin were about to say.
Yu Wentai raised his head and looked at Gao Cheng, finally looking as usual. He didn't answer directly to Cui Jishu and Cui Xian's words just now, but it was enough to make him feel good. At this time, he stood up straight, and said to Gao Cheng, "The general asked, and I was blunt." ”
Hearing that Yuwentai suddenly changed his name, Gao Cheng's heart moved, but he listened to him quietly on the surface.
"Returning to Yecheng to serve Uncle Wang day and night, I do what I want, but I don't dare to ask for an ear at this time. For the current difficulties, please understand the general. Yu Wentai looked at Gao Cheng, his eyes did not dodge, and he seemed very sincere, "The black otter entered the Fuguan after He Bagong, but I didn't expect that the first emperor would move westward later, and then the future could not be left to people, but it is a pity that the fate of the heavens, the black otter can not do anything." Now that Chang'an has established a new emperor, if you want to ask the new emperor to return to the old system at this time, I am afraid that it will not be the same as before. ”
In fact, Gao Cheng also understands what Yuwentai said, and at this time, it would be a big joke to say that Yuwentai would stop fighting and return to Yecheng as a minister with the Yuan Bao Torch. He just wanted to test how true Yuwentai's battle was, and where the most important attack was placed.
He smiled and said, "Brother is too polite." I naturally know my brother's difficulties, but I don't know what my brother wants, but please speak up, don't have to take a detour. ”
Chen Yuankang felt that Gao Cheng was a little too anxious, but he didn't break it in public. On the contrary, Cui Jishu and Cui Xian watched with a smile.
Yu Jin listened to Gao Cheng's question, sat down and listened silently.
Yuwentai said, "General, the lower officials are only willing to retire the old land of Longyou, and it is enough for King Gao to guard here, and I hope that the general will be fulfilled." Yu Wentai knelt down and asked.
Gao Cheng smiled silently at first.
The Chinese army's tent was quiet for a while. Everyone's eyes were on Gao Cheng, just waiting for his words.
Chen Yuankang suddenly caught a glimpse of Yu Jin, who was sitting on Yuwentai's side, with a calm expression, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
Gao Cheng smiled, "Why is my brother so polite?" "I have long heard that my brother's chest is like the sea, and the amount of wine is bottomless, but today my brother wants to see it." As he spoke, he motioned for Yuwentai to drink together.
There was no talk of the war afterwards. Gao Cheng, the general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Yu Wentai, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, and several attendants of the two Wei Dynasty have only talked about the feelings of farewell, but they are also very harmonious.
The banquet lasted for a long time, from the dawn of the day to the waning of the mountains, and then to the deep darkness of the night. I can't count how much alcohol I drank. What has to be staggered is that Gao Cheng and Yu Wentai both have bottomless alcohol. Until the two of them finally got drunk, the others couldn't support it anymore.
Chen Yuankang took the opportunity to change his clothes and leave the Chinese army's big tent, and after a while, he ordered someone to quietly go in and ask the general to come out.
After a while, I saw Gao Cheng come out of the big tent of the Chinese army. Behind him was the bright light in the tent, and he could see only a long shadow, and nothing else could be seen clearly. Chen Yuankang felt that Shizi's footsteps seemed to be stumbling slightly, and he didn't know if Shizi was also drunk, or because he was already drunk.
