Yu Chi Bodhisattva personally pressed the formation in front of the battle, today's battle is not trivial, if you win, you will help the world, and if you lose, you will lose a defeat. The Emperor Imperial Forest Army behind him guarded himself, and he should be worthy of this glory, although he did not fight martial arts on time in front of him, but the Emperor Chounu trusted himself more, and transferred the Imperial Forest Army to help in the battle. At this time, the Bodhisattva was very excited, and secretly decided to repay the emperor's kindness.

It is said that it was He Batsheng himself who was facing Yu Chi Bodhisattva head-on, and Yu Wentai was ordered to outflank him. The 50,000 horses of Yu Chi Bodhisattva vs the 15,000 horses of He Batsheng, the difference in strength between the two sides is a bit big.

"Soldiers, you all came to this pass with me from Hebei, I think I, the Huba clan has always been sympathetic to the military situation, love soldiers like sons, you go with me to fight the world, you have suffered and enjoyed blessings, the wind and rain come and go, nothing more than to take some money to change your life to support your family. Today, just today, I am here to make a statement to you, as long as we take down the thieves on the other side, I guarantee that you will all hold bounties in your hands and embrace beautiful women, and everyone will be promoted to become rich and prosperous, as long as you dare to do this wealth today! ”

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the first to break the cauldron is to lure heavy profits, and there is no one who does not want to save his life and make a fortune. At this time, the morale of the army was very high by He Batsheng.

Yu Chi Bodhisattva knows the prestige of the He Batsheng brothers, so forget it alone, there are many people in their own hands, so let's fight fairly. The Bodhisattva thought so in his heart, but who knew that He Batsheng on the other side was more anxious than him, and he clamored for the troops of the front army to start attacking the position. For a while, arrows rained down, and the Bodhisattva's former army was beaten and couldn't raise their heads.

The Bodhisattva shouted and released the arrows, the front army suddenly changed to a sword and shield array, the archers of the Chinese army also began to fight back, and the officers and soldiers on the opposite side began to fall to the ground one after another.

The Bodhisattva didn't believe that his 50,000 horses couldn't defeat 15,000 of them, but that was the case. The officers and soldiers rushed forward in various battles, and the sergeants were defeated and fled in all directions. The ground was full of banners and weapons, grain and grass, horses and gold, and silver. This battle was lost in momentum, and lost in the consciousness of not having the heart to die.

The Bodhisattva could only flee to the rear under the escort of the personal guards in vain, but all the way were the chasing soldiers of the official army, repulsing a wave and coming up again, as if the sergeants on the opposite side were like a tide that stretched endlessly, because He Batsheng ordered to capture the bounty of Yuchi Bodhisattva alive, and the bounty of the marquis of the golden pass who cut off the head. People who want to be promoted and make a fortune rush up like crazy people to arrest him.

Yu Chi Bodhisattva led the last 30 or so people to be besieged on a small hill, and the bottom of the mountain was full of officers and soldiers, because of the desperate fight of the escort team, they did not dare to attack it for the time being, but it was impossible for Yu Chi Bodhisattva to escape, and now all he could think about was how to die with dignity. But when it comes to death, who wants to die themselves? What's more, people who sit in high positions are even more obsessed with life, and have a kind of crazy attachment to life. He hadn't enjoyed enough yet, and he didn't want to die yet.

He Batsheng and Yu Wentai came to the foot of the mountain and shouted to the mountain: "General Wei Chi, come down and surrender, I guarantee your life." ”

Yu Chi Bodhisattva knew that He Batsheng did this nothing more than to capture himself alive and go back to ask for merit, since both horizontal and vertical were dead, rather than giving others to take it to receive merit and reward, it was better to fight happily and die. Thinking of this, Yu Chi Bodhisattva said to the thirty or so people around him: "Brothers, we can't escape today, the officials and soldiers want my head, you all go down the mountain and surrender, I will fight them to the end alone." ”

This kind of rhetoric of retreating as advance is very useful to boost morale, everyone knows that the consequence of surrender is to be killed, instead of going down the mountain to surrender and be killed, and fighting to the death with the main general to make a reputation. At the moment, they all expressed their intention to win the true scriptures with the Bodhisattva.

Seeing everyone's expressions of putting life and death out of the way, Yu Chi Bodhisattva immediately stood up, picked up the war knife, and said to everyone: "If you really decide to live and die with me Yu Chi, then come with me!" With that, he turned around and rushed down the hill shouting.

The battle of the trapped beast caused He Batsheng to pay a heavy price, although in the end the Bodhisattva did go to see Rulai. However, the officers and soldiers were frightened by the momentum of these few people descending the mountain like fierce tigers and their desperate killings, and they left a deep shadow in their hearts.

When the army of Wan Qian Chounu heard that Yu Chi Bodhisattva was annihilated by the whole army, it collapsed instantly, and hundreds of thousands of people scattered and fled, and the Chounu Emperor had to lead four or five thousand people to retreat to Jingzhou to defect to He De, a remnant of Gaoping, who was a man of Heliu Han Baling.

He De is also a clever ghost, originally relying on the momentum of Wan Qian ugly slaves in the Gaoping area is also a robbery house for prestige, now the emperor has been beaten to the desert and fled, and he only surrendered to the official army, it just so happened that the emperor also brought people to defect to himself, so he did not do two endlessly, the so-called wealth and danger in the seeking, and so the emperor entered the city was arrested by He De and sent to Erzhu Tianguang, Erzhu Tianguang was busy dealing with the remnants of Wan Qian ugly slaves, and made a favor, and named He De as the king of Gaoping. After receiving the ugly slave emperor, he sent it to Luoyang to invite merit and reward.

Wan Qian Chou slave was destroyed in August 530, a month before Er Zhu Rong's death, when Er Zhu Tianguang heard that the messenger who came back to report that the king of heaven was dead, and the court was in turmoil, he was also anxious to rush back to Pingcheng Laowo for refuge, but a person came out to dissuade him, this person was Yuwentai.

"If the general gives up our territory here and retreats to Pingcheng, he will not only miss the opportunity to dominate, but he may also be ambushed and captured alive, and of course, it will be impossible to avenge the shame of the Heavenly King."

Now Yuwentai is the only person who can entrust Erzhu Tianguang with big things, because as early as a month ago, He Batsheng was disheartened because of the death of his younger brother, and he resigned and supported the coffin and set off to return to his hometown Huaishuo.

So I asked Yuwentai what his plan was, and I saw Yuwentai with a mysterious smile on his face and said: "The king of heaven has passed away, and if we want to avenge him, our top priority at present is to close the country, first eliminate all the people who are not attached to the territory, and then contact the people of other Erzhu forces to start an incident together, and enter the capital to go to the side of the Qing monarch to report to the first king." ”

Erzhu Tianguang felt that what he said was right, so he gave him carte blanche to purge the unsurrendered forces in the pass, and the power in Yuwentai's hands has now surged to the point that except for Erzhu Tianguang, the entire pass is the only one.

So Yuwentai closed the Tongguan on the one hand, sent the general to guard it, and released messengers to contact Erzhu Zhao and Erzhu Dulu and others, while personally commanding the army to exterminate and disobey everywhere, the large and small forces in the pass heard about Yuwentai's means, and they all came to surrender, and the Guannei area except for Liangzhou, which connected Bashu and Gaoping Town, occupied by He De, other territories have changed the banner of Erzhu Tianguang.

Yuwentai was not idle after laying down these territories, and heard that Gao Huan was colonizing Tuntian in Hebei and recuperated. He also learned from the people in the Guannai, persuaded farmers to cultivate mulberry and opened up merchants, reduced the annual tribute and taxes of the states in the Guannai, and carried out commerce and trade with the countries of the Western Regions, and liaisoned with transportation.

Since then, the situation in the customs has been very good, not to mention, and the praise of Yuwentai is also endless.

We can now talk about the recent situation of the male protagonist Gao Huan.

Gao Huan, who was stationed in Gaoyang County, Yingzhou, was shocked after hearing that Er Zhurong had died in Luoyang, and was afraid that the imperial court would use Yecheng's family to blackmail him, so he hurriedly led the army south, returned to Changle, Jizhou, and deployed 50,000 horses and heavy troops in Guangzong to strictly prevent the actions of the imperial court. He also sent people to Bingzhou to contact Erzhu Zhao, and went to North Xuzhou to contact Erzhu Dulu, but he couldn't contact Erzhu Tianguang in Guanzhong for the time being.

As soon as Erzhurong died, the power structure within the entire Erzhu group began to change dramatically, and the armies that were originally under the jurisdiction of Erzhurong now began to divide factions, some supported Erzhu Zhao, such as the Xiazhou Thorn History and the Fengzhou Thorn History, and some supported Erzhu Dulu, such as the Nanqingzhou Thorn History, Yanzhou Thorn History and Qizhou Thorn History. Furthermore, the warlord Erzhu Tianguang is also eyeing his own faction.

At this time, Gao Huan's choice is more subtle, if he goes to the left, he wins on the left, and if he goes to the right, he wins on the right. So Erzhu Zhao and Erzhu Dulu both showed favor to Gao Huan, with humble words and even a little low-voiced, and sent a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful women's playthings to bribe him.

This made Gao Huan a little unexpected, and now he has become a sweetheart. But what he didn't expect was that the emperor actually valued him.

On this day, Gao Huan was working in the government office, and he saw Li Erhu outside the door bringing two eunuchs in, and the two eunuchs still looked like people in the palace, because the eunuchs in the palace were dressed differently from those in the palace, which was very easy to recognize.

"General, these two are imperial histories sent by the emperor, saying that there is a holy decree to announce." Li Erhu replied truthfully.

As soon as he heard that someone came with a holy decree, Gao Huan hurriedly got up and came down to bow down, this ancient holy decree should be kneeled facing north, and the person who read it should face south and face the person receiving the decree.

I only heard the eunuch's voice say sharply: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Gao Huan, the general of the expedition to the north, has suppressed the north over the years and exterminated Xiaoxiao." Yu people recuperate, enrich the treasury number I Tianwei, and has always been loyal, so he was crowned as the governor of the northern Xingtai, Changle Marquis and Ji, Ding, Xiang, You, Yan five states of the history of the thorn, Qin this. After reciting the holy decree, the eunuch immediately hurriedly smiled and said to Gao Huan: "Dadu Governor, please get up quickly." We congratulate the Metropolitan Governor on his promotion to the history of the Five States Assassins, which is a precedent that has not been established since the founding of the country. ”

In order to win over Gao Huan, the emperor now does not hesitate to use the king as bait, although Gao Huan is happy in his heart, he also secretly complains, doesn't this mean that I will become the target of the public, forcing me to be loyal to the emperor alone.

When they were distressed, Murong Heng and Xu Mingzhi both came in to congratulate Gao Huan on his promotion.

After sending off the eunuch, Gao Huan, Murong Heng, and Xu Mingzhi discussed in the study.

"Why is the general still troubled? Now that we have enough soldiers and food, and the emperor has just decreed, we also have a broad mass base, and it is precisely when the situation is very good. Murong Heng was a little confused about Gao Huan's worry, in his opinion, this worry was completely unnecessary.

Gao Huan sighed, and told the two of them about the worries in his heart, now these two people are Gao Huan's confidants who can confide in each other, and some plans and decisions must be discussed with these two people first, and then arranged for Gao Yue, Li Erhu and others to implement them. So these two people are very important figures in Gao Huan's General's Mansion.

"Haha General is completely overwhelmed, there is no force that can fight with us in Hebei at present, plus our entangled relationship with the Erzhu group, no one dares to easily oppose us, as long as we do not make mistakes in some major decisions, we must have the advantage, at least for now." Murong Heng said with his old man there.

These two people are older than Gao Huan, in Gao Huan's heart, he is the eldest brother of Lao Cheng, since Murong Heng said this, there must be some truth, Gao Huan is still willing to listen to him.

"Then, according to what the gentleman said, should we accept the admission of the imperial court?" Gao Huan was still a little worried that getting too close to the imperial court would cause the Erzhu Group to be unhappy.

"This must be accepted, and it will be beneficial for us to carry out our work in the future." Xu Mingzhi accosted: "If you are afraid that the Erzhu clan will have any unpleasantness, we can give them a certain amount of compensation financially as much as possible, after all, the Heavenly King is dead, and the general situation in the world is uncertain, they will not take the initiative to be our enemy." ”

"Mingzhi's words are wrong, we don't have to waste money on the Erzhu clan, I also have a clever plan to divert the contradictions and let them kill each other." This Murong Heng is even more powerful and ruthless, and sure enough, the gentleman's words are like poisonous arrows, and the gentleman's heart hides a needle.
