"Big brother is in Liaodong now, and I don't know when he will be able to return to Beijing to report on work?" Gao Huan also sighed a little. He is now the consul of the Son of Heaven, and was appointed by the emperor to enter the court without praising and worshipping the name, and the sword is on the temple, which is the highest honor, and the ancient ministers saw the emperor to run forward and kneel quickly, and then kneel and bow when they say their name in their mouths, and when they enter the court, they also need to take off their shoes at the door, and remove their swords to enter. The rules in the palace are strict, and there are not many people in the past dynasties who can enjoy the same high-standard treatment as Gao Huan. But even such nobles have things that they can't do, and they also have helpless hardships. For example, if Sima Ziru returns to Kyoto, it will be counted as one.

The reason is very simple, outside of Liaodong, there are Khitan and Murowei in the north, Goguryi and Baekje in the east, and strong enemies are eyeing each other, Sima Ziru has lived in the frontier for many years, conforms to the army's heart, is familiar with the people's feelings, and still has a certain understanding and influence on foreign countries, and his position cannot be easily transferred before the Central Plains is not unified.

Sun Teng also looked depressed and sad, "I think about the four of us riding horses and hunting together, drinking and chatting, how happy we were at that time, I remember it vividly as if everything happened yesterday." ”

Gao Huan was also sad in his heart, but he was helpless. However, he came to join him, and now he added another tiger general, and he couldn't kill Er Zhu Zhao.

"King, here Erzhu Tianguang suddenly sent troops to Sizhou to echo Erzhu Zhaoyao and contain our army." Xu Mingzhi said to Gao Huan in the conference hall to a group of civil and military personnel.

Everyone was originally immersed in the happy events of Gao Lan and Murong Shaozong, but suddenly heard that Erzhu Tianguang asked Yuwentai to lead 100,000 horse infantry troops, and the troops came out of Tongguan and pointed directly at Luoyang.

He Batsheng said thoughtfully on the side: "In my opinion, the third brother doesn't have to worry about what Er Zhuzhao will do, but this Yuwentai is menacing and unscrupulous this time, it seems that it has been premeditated for a long time, and he has to guard against it." "In the end, a famous general can see through the enemy's intentions at a glance.

Yuwentai sent troops to Luoyang this time to give Gao Huan a warning: he is still alive. Don't think about it so easily to dominate in Luoyang, the world is still undecided.

Gao Huan doesn't know why, he has always been very disgusted with Yuwentai in his heart, this person who is younger than himself, but his methods are abnormally vicious, and he is narrow-minded, so that he always has the idea that he will not be able to sleep if he does not die, and Gao Huan, who has never taken the initiative to kill anyone, has always been clear in his position on treating Yuwentai: kill him!

And Yuwentai didn't think the same way about Gao Huan, this is the so-called natural enemy.

Yuwentai's stragglers set fire to the people in the area of Hengnong, and the regular army was stationed in the area of Hugao Pass, and the general Gao Qian was entangled with Yuwentai's stragglers on the flank, and the two sides fought several battles and suffered casualties among each other.

The enemy has entered his sphere of influence, Gao Huan can not be beaten passively, so he sent Fengche general Gao Yue to lead 20,000 cavalry, the northern Zhonglang general Dou Tai and Sizhou Thorn Shi Han Liang led 30,000 troops to meet Er Zhuzhao's reinforcements, and the chariot cavalry general He Basheng commanded 80,000 Chinese troops to meet Yuwentai.

"The king, the last general wants to fight in this battle, please allow the king." Murong Shaozong, who had just married Yan'er, asked for war in the council room, Gao Huan was a little unhappy, his sister had just gotten married, he didn't want Murong Shaozong to die, how could he face Gao Lan's reproach if there was a mistake? Murong Heng was in favor of Murong Shaozong's invitation to fight, a good man should turn the tide and fall immediately, and the fierce general should be a horse leather shroud.

Murong Shaozong said righteously: "The last general's life belongs to the king, and now that the king has something, why doesn't the last general go to the soup?" Besides, men have made great achievements in the present day, and being greedy for life and afraid of death is not my Murong style. "The rhetoric is irrefutable.

Gao Huan thought to himself: I always protect this brother-in-law, when will he get ahead, and when will I let my sister enjoy the glory and wealth? Although it should be no problem for me to let his husband and wife enjoy the glory of the government now, my sister must still hope that her husband can do something.

Gao Huan turned his head to He Batsheng and said, "Fourth brother, I have arranged General Murong under you, you don't have to have any scruples about his relationship with me, just appoint and act, and you have the final say in all military affairs." ”

A hint of embarrassment flashed on He Batsheng's face, but it was fleeting, and he spoke: "Since the third brother said so, how dare the junior brother disobey the order." ”

So Gao Huan's 100,000 horses and Yuwentai's 100,000 troops fought outside the Tiger Prison Pass for half a month, because Gao Gan intercepted Yuwentai's grain road behind his back, and Murong Shaozong, who was fledgling on the frontal battlefield, fought bravely, Yuwentai's men did not dare to stop him, resulting in a rout on the frontal battlefield, and Yuwentai had to lead the army to retreat and return to Guanzhong. However, the blocking forces of Dou Tai and Han Rail were defeated by Erzhu Dulu and fled. However, because of Yuwentai's retreat, he was unable to expand the results of the battle, so he had to harass and rob in the Xiangzhou area, and hastily retreated to the state.

The first time he fought with Yuwentai, Gao Huan won. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty came to congratulate King Xiqi on his victory, and even the Erzhu clan was defeated by Gao Huan, and everyone felt that Gao Huan would be the only one who would unify the world in the future, so he was even more unscrupulous in singing and dancing to promote life and death.

Yuan Xiu watched the twists and turns of the King of Qi Gao Huan in the palace, trembling with anger, and scolded in his mouth: "It's better to let Erzhu Tianguang come into Luoyang, this He Liuhun really didn't take me seriously, thinking that I was a puppet in his hands." ”

Xie Jindou on the side hurriedly persuaded softly: "Your Majesty is angry, be careful that the wall has ears." Gao Huan's ears and eyes in the big interior have long been known to Yuan Xiu, but he has no real power, and there is no way to take these inside lines. Now when I heard Xie Jindou say this, I was even more angry, and scolded: "I think this Gao Huan Dong Zhuo Cao Cao is still fierce and treacherous, one day there will always be an imperial uncle to save me...... Yuan Xiu still wanted to scold a few words, Xie Jindou hurriedly stepped forward to hold his mouth, and looked at the emperor shaking his head sadly, meaning don't you be like this.

Gao Huan listened to the news from the inside line at the banquet, and said with a smile: "This faint monarch only knows how to have fun all day long, we beat him down all the world, and the throne depends on us to sit firmly, but now he says that I am even worse than Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, it is really laughing to death." ”

Xu Mingzhi continued: "Now the whole world is supported by the King of Qi, that emperor really doesn't know what to do, if he falls into the hands of the Erzhu clan, I don't know what the end will be, he must be trying to survive and not death." ”

People always change their standards of morality and ethics with the change of identity, Gao Huan used to be very disgusted with people who meet the horse, but now he is slowly adapting and enjoying the compliments of others a little complacently. When you can't stop others from being kind to you, you can only passively accept it over time, and even gradually start to feel that you may take it for granted.

The crowd was drinking and drinking, and suddenly near the gate, someone at a wine table was making a big noise and drinking madness. Gao Huan hurriedly asked someone to pull the drunkard closer, and it turned out to be Gao Gan's younger brother Gao Gao.

Looking at Gao Gao, who was still blowing his beard and staring at him with a drunken face, Gao Huan smiled and said: "Today's celebration banquet, everyone celebrates the victory, why is the general still angry and angry?" ”

Gao drunk and said hazy: "The king's reward is uneven, and the young general is aggrieved. ”

Gao Qian hurriedly came out and said embarrassedly: "The king is angry, my younger brother can't be on the stage, and now he is incoherent after drinking a few cups of horse urine, offending Tianyan, hoping that the king will atone for his sins." Then he knelt before the temple.

Gao Huan hurriedly asked people to help him up, and said with a smile to Gao Gan: "General Gao is too worried. I am also very curious about the injustice of my reward, and if my brother has any complaints about it, let's listen to it. ”

Gao Gao ignored Gao Qian's obstruction, and said loudly: "Let's just say, after my brother and I killed the enemy army in Hengnong, we reflexively cut off Yuwentai's grain road, which made Yuwentai cut off the grain and retreated. They-" After that, he pointed to He Batsheng and Murong Shaozong, who were sitting at the bottom of Gao Huan, and said: "Isn't it just that they have fought a few tough battles in the front, and after returning to Beijing, they have received a reward far more than that of ordinary troops, so I asked the king, is such a reward fair?" ”

Gao Huan was very puzzled and said, "Is there such a thing? After that, he turned his head to Murong Heng, who was sitting on the right hand, and said, "Sir, there is such a thing in this reward?" ”

Murong Heng is not embarrassed now, but sweating profusely and nervously to death, he originally wanted to send Gao Huan's sycophants, so he deliberately increased the merits of He Batsheng and Murong Shaozong, and rewarded He Batsheng's Chinese army. There is no reward for senior cadres, and as for Dou Tai and Han Rail, who were even demoted because of the defeat, neither of them is qualified to participate in this celebration banquet.

Murong Heng didn't know how to answer at this time, Gao Huan had already understood seven or eight points in his heart when he saw this. So he said to Gao Gao: "The front-line soldiers fought to the death for the country and bloodstained the battlefield, and when they finally returned from victory, they naturally wanted to be rewarded, but I did it biased this time." After that, he stood up and raised his glass to Gao Qian, and said: "As a coach, I should be rewarded if I can't make meritorious contributions, and I will be punished if I fail." It is reasonable to punish himself with three cups to apologize to the soldiers who died in battle. "After drinking three glasses of wine, ask Gao Zhongming to take the family heirloom Pu knife.

Everyone couldn't understand what he was doing with the Pu knife, and suddenly Gao Huan took off the crown, and hung the Pu knife around his neck with a cloak, and everyone was frightened, thinking that he was going to commit suicide and apologize, so they knelt down and kowtowed: "The king is angry and the king thinks twice." Even He Basheng, Sun Teng, Murong Shaozong and others were shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them.

Gao Huan smiled bitterly: "You all misunderstood, as the chief general, if something like this happens, I should be beheaded according to the national conditions and military law, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the army cannot be without a commander for a day, so I will cut my hair and act as the head, and I should apologize." After speaking, he took out a knife and cut off a strand of hair and threw it on the desk, and said loudly: "In the future, if anyone dares to act unfairly for personal gain, I will not spare it!" ”

At that moment, the ministers were submissive, and Gao Huan said loudly: "I will re-award now." The fallen soldiers can get 50 taels of silver, 30 horses of cloth, and 1 bucket of rice and meat for each of the fallen soldiers regardless of their rank, and each soldier on this expedition can get 10 taels of silver. ”

Murong Heng is Gao Huan's financial steward, Gao Huan will lose millions of silver with a casual mouth, but he can't show his dissatisfaction, because this matter is all because he was stingy and wanted to save money and almost caused the army to mutiny, Gao Huan didn't treat him for his crimes, which was already very face-saving. At the moment, I was sweating and shouting.

Gao Huan thought in the heart of a modern young man that as long as money is enough, instead of putting it in the warehouse, it is better to take it out to buy people's hearts and recruit customers. With the world, will you still be short of money? It's a pity that in modern society, there are few wealthy businessmen who can have the mind of the four gentlemen of the Warring States and raise 3,000 customers. Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they may only be empty in the world in the future.
