The honeymoon period between Yuan Xiu and Gao Huan passed quickly. As an aspiring young man among the children of the aristocracy, Yuan Xiu has read a lot of books, and likes to ride horses and archery, which can be called literary and martial, so he always thinks that he is extraordinary, and more importantly, he also has psoriasis, which is a painful skin disease on you and me, but it can be deduced from the natural disappearance of the royal family and nobles, the so-called true dragon Tianzi, can the dragon have no scales?

That's not all, Yuan Xiu also had a dream when he was eighteen years old when he obtained the duke of Ruyang County, in which someone told him that he "deserved to be noble". Sure enough, he was later named the king of Pingyang. After the chaos, Yuan Xiu hid, and only his friend Wang Sizheng knew where he lived.

When Hu Si Chun Tong Guò Wang Si Si found him, he was frightened to think that his friend Wang Si Si had betrayed him, and it was not until he was greeted to the big tent by Gao Huan respectfully, Hu Si Chun trembled and offered the advice to enter the table, and his heart fell into his stomach, and he couldn't help but blurt out with a sense of pride: After seeing this, I have to call me. The feeling of self-satisfaction is beyond words. Why did you choose me?

Someone told him that the Taoist priest of Songshan, who was known as a living immortal, once saw that there was a son of heaven in the west of Luoyang City, and that was where Yuan Xiu hid from trouble.

Therefore, Yuan Xiu became more and more convinced that he was destined for heaven, and God was just a fake Gao Huan's hand to let him sit in this position, thinking about it like this, Gao Huan's support was naturally greatly reduced. Since he is the Son of Heaven who belongs to the Mandate of Heaven, he naturally has to exercise the power of the Son of Heaven, and no matter how great Gao Huan's credit is, he is also the prime minister, even if he is above ten thousand people, he is also under me alone.

However, Yuan Xiu soon found out. His edict is not as strong as the order of the prime minister, and he looks at the government and the opposition. Most of them are Gao Huan's people, and the assassins in the big states are all appointed by Gao Huan. Feng Longzhi, Sun Teng, and Gao Qian, who are in charge of the government, are Gao Huan's henchmen, and even the leading generals who defend their safety are Gao Huan's brother-in-law Lou Zhao. New contradictions arise.

The emperor and the ministers get along, if one wants power and the other wants fame, they can get along peacefully. But if the emperor also wants power, contradictions are inevitable.

Why is it that the struggle between the monarchs and the prime ministers of various dynasties in Chinese history has always been fierce, and the two sides can only maintain peace when they are evenly matched. Yuan Xiu didn't want to be a puppet, and Yuan Xiu's trusted ministers Wang Sizheng and Hu Sichun couldn't get used to Gao Huan's style, especially Hu Sichun. From when Gao Huan first entered Luoyang, he wanted to unite with He Batsheng to do him, but because of He Batsheng's hesitation at that time, Hu Sichun did not start.

But in the current situation, Gao Huan purely regarded Yuan Xiu, the emperor, as a vase, which was good-looking, but the lord was Mingjun and the minister was a capable minister, so the story of Yong'an was repeated again in a short time.

Yuan Xiu understands the importance of encircling soldiers better than Yuan Ziyou, and Taizu of this dynasty said that power comes out of the barrel of a gun. Only with the support of the military system can we truly sit on the throne. It was important to build an army loyal to the emperor, and Hu Sichun oversaw the government, and he began to recruit samurai to strengthen the forbidden army.

At the beginning, Emperor Yong'an indiscriminately received the forbidden army directly. As a result, when the enemy came to attack, no one was willing to help. The Gyeonggi Armed Forces and the Forbidden Army must have their own men and must be able to hold on to the peace of the Imperial Palace. Foreign aid is also important.

Looking at the world, the only one who can match Gao Huan's strength is He Bayue in the West. He Bayue took over the leadership of the Kwansai Army behind Erzhu Tianguang, which was relatively closed geographically. Gao Huan has always wanted to get involved, but he didn't succeed. Yuan Xiu began to devote himself to the Heba brothers, and sent leading generals and servants to serve Hebasheng as the military of Sanjing, Nanyong, Nanxiang, Ying, Nanying, etc., the hussar generals, the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and the Jingzhou Thorn History. He was awarded the left servant of the Southern Dao Daxing Taishang Shu and went to the southern part of the Great Wei to operate.

In order to show his support for He Batsheng, Yuan Xiu sent his henchman Shi Ning, the general of Zhengdong, to lead a thousand Lin troops to escort He Batsheng to Jingzhou to take up his post.

Shi Ning's ancestral home is Jiankang in Liangzhou, his grandfather Shi Guan moved to Funing Town with a good family, and since then he has taken Funing as his home, and his father Shi Zunchu joined the army for the capture of the general's mansion Cao Cao, after Du Luo Zhou rebelled, he led 2,000 families in the township to Hengzhou, and fled to Luoyang after the fall of Hengzhou. Shi Ning grew up in the army since he was a child, and paid farewell to the generals with his military merits, and was later promoted to the general and governor of the Zhige, becoming a glorious palace guard.

Of course, Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiu sent Shi Ning to follow He Batsheng There is another meaning: keep an eye for yourself and secretly monitor He Batsheng's movements, after all, it is more reassuring to have his own people with the army.

What Yuan Xiu didn't expect was that Shi Ning followed He Batsheng from then on and became He Batsheng's henchman. The Heba brothers are the gods of war in the eyes of the warriors, and it is glorious and proud to mix with such people. He Batsheng also has an acquaintance in Jingzhou, he knows this person's ability very well, looking at the world, there are really few people who can match it in terms of both civil and military skills, so if he gets his help, then the southern tour is undoubtedly like a tiger with wings, so Emperor He Batsheng asked for this person.

This person is Dugu in Wuchuan Town, and he was the general of Xinye Town and the county guard. At the beginning, when He Ba's father and son and the Yuwen family jointly attacked and killed the rebel commander Wei Kegu, Dugu once fought side by side with He Basheng as he wished, but later with the fall of the six towns, one voted for the quasi-government army Erzhurong Division, and the other voted for the rebel Gerong Division.

After Ge Rong was defeated, Dugu surrendered to Er Zhurong as he wished, and the Wuchuan villagers got together again and became a comrade-in-arms in the trenches. Dugu began to emerge as he wished, and when he conquered Hanlou, he once rode into the battle to capture the Yuyang King Yuan Xianzhou, and rode outside the squire to worship the staff, and then followed He Basheng to guard the mouth.

During the Jianming Dynasty, the military number was born as the general of Annan, and the title of Dugu was sent to Jingzhou as the general of Xinye Town and the county guard, at this time Yang Kan's son-in-law Wei Xiaokuan followed the Jingzhou Thorn Shi Yuanzi Gong Town Xiangcheng, and awarded the Xiyang County Guard with merit, the two were under Jingzhou together, and they hit it off at first sight, and became friends since then, plus both of them are good at governing the people, welcomed and supported by the people of the two counties, and the people of Jingzhou will call the two "Lianbi".

He Batsheng knows Dugu Ruyuan's ability very well as his fellow villagers and old subordinates, and Dugu is familiar with the customs of Jingzhou, so He Batsheng asked Dugu Ruwish to be the governor of the capital and recruit him to serve in the army. Is Ho Batsheng's request unreasonable?

In this way, Dugu was promoted to the governor of Jingzhou City Defense and the county guard of Nanxiang as he wished. On the way to take office, it happened that the natives of Jingzhou had cut off the road to Sanya. Shi Ning volunteered to open the way for the vanguard, under his powerful attack. The rebels were about to collapse at the first touch, and everyone in the local wealthy family had always forced everyone to obey whom. Therefore, they joined one after another, and offered 1,500 horses, which greatly expanded the strength of Hobatsheng's army.

Shi Ning was promoted to the rank of Metropolitan Governor and Assassin of Southern Yingzhou. Soon after He Basheng took office, he gathered troops from the seven states and launched a large-scale attack on the Liang Dynasty's control of the zhì district.

He Batsheng, Shi Ning, and Dugu Xin conquered the Liang Dynasty's Xia Wei Shu with 10,000 foot cavalry, captured its lord Yin Daozhen, etc., and then, He Batsheng commanded, and the generals challenged the Liang army. Shi Ning successively conquered nine cities including Qixing Town of the Liang Dynasty and captured 20,000 enemy households.

Dugu Xin led the governors Yu Wenqiu and Yang Zhong to take the two cities of Nanyang and Guangping, and captured one of the county guards. Yang Zhong has followed since Luoyang, and he is around Dugu's wish.

The rest of the generals also had their own gains, Sun Liang, the chief of the Southern Yongzhou Assassin History, Li Molian, the Governor of Nanjingzhou, Wang Yuanliang, the Governor of Jiushan, Bai Xun, the Governor of Ba Luochang, Shi Tonglong took Yicheng, Junkou, and thousands of soldiers. Soon, Feng Yi, Anding, Chuyang and other places were all in the bag. He Batsheng's movement was so great that it shook the Jiangnan court.

Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan instructed Liang Yongzhou to assassinate Shi Xiao Xu: He Basheng is a great general in the north, and he is unstoppable in field battles, so you must be careful, just defend the city with all your might, and you can't fight casually. Instructions were given by the Supreme Chief. Xiao Xu was happy to cower in the city. When He Batsheng reached Gucheng, he encountered a real opponent, Liu Zhongli, the general of the Liang army, who held on to Gucheng, and Ho Batsheng's offensive was frustrated. Liu Zhongli also became famous in one fell swoop.

He Batsheng flourished in Sanjing, and the emperor was very happy, as the so-called appointing people properly is nothing more than this. In this way, the base area of Jingzhou was consolidated and developed and developed. The emperor deliberately wooed Hebayue in Kansai. Repeatedly sent envoys to Guanzhong to express condolences to He Batyue, which made He Batyue's heart a little hairy. He still can't figure out Gao Huan's current situation, Gao Huan and the emperor have already kissed each other. Will he rebel against the emperor?

Feng Jing, who was engaged in the Zhonglang of the Guanxi Daxingtai, was sent to Jinyang to inquire about Gao Huan's movements, Gao Huan heard that someone from Guanxi was coming, and he was very happy, he took Feng Jing to the Prime Minister's Mansion, recalled the days when he walked with He Bayue, and made an alliance with Feng Jing by blood, and He Bayue was about brothers. However, Feng Jing was not so easy to fool, returned to Chang'an, and summarized the trip to Jinyang and finally condensed it into one sentence: Gao Huan is more than treacherous and untrustworthy.

He Batyue was skeptical of Feng Jing's words, after all, he had worked with Gao Huan for many years, but his evaluation of Gao Huan was related to the future direction of He Batyue's department, and he couldn't help but be cautious. Yuwentai volunteered to go to Jinyang.

Two future real adversaries have met. Gao Huan was taken aback first, but when he saw Yu Wentai in front of him, he was eight feet long, with a wide forehead, his hands hanging over his knees, his beautiful beard, and his face with purple light, which was daunting. The so-called natural disappearance, Gao Huan unconsciously was impressed by the heroic spirit projected on this young man.

And asked about the Guanzhong military, Yu Wentai answered freely, not leaking, Gao Huan already has the ability to recognize people, and couldn't help but sigh at the moment: "Talent!" After the two finished talking about business, Gao Huan suddenly made a request: Black otter, stay, stay in my prime minister's mansion, you will definitely have a bright future

& Wentai didn't expect Gao Huan to come up with such an absurd proposal, he was not attracted by Gao Huan's promise: Prime Minister Xie is very loving, and the black otter is the messenger of He Bagong, and he should return to Chang'an to restore his life. What Gao Huan didn't know was that the young man in front of him had already had a maturity that was not commensurate with his age.

Yes, from the children of the Hao family in Beizhen to the displacement of the family, during which he experienced the grief of losing his father and brother, experienced the choice of life and death, and experienced so much, how could he still be that ignorant teenager? For He Bayue, Yuwentai regards him as a father, how could he betray his benefactor and nobleman?

What's more, if you take 10,000 steps back, if you really want to stay in Jinyang, and start from scratch, how can you succumb to Hou Jing, Dou Tai, and Di Gan. Gao Huan's words are really incredible.

In Jinyang, Yuwentai saw the flying and domineering of the Bafu people, they didn't pay attention to anyone except Gao Huan one by one, and they could see the real Gao Huan from them, so he wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.

Seeing that Yuwentai was so resolute, Gao Huan gave up, he still had some taboos about He Bayue, since the black otter was unwilling to stay, how could he be strong.

Therefore, Gao Huan agreed and let Yuwentai rest for a few days before leaving, and Yuwentai's family still stayed in Jinyang.

Gao Huan thought that Yu Wentai would definitely see his relatives and delay for a few days before resigning. However, Yuwentai had a strong premonition that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he didn't bother to say goodbye to his family, and set foot on the road back to Chang'an overnight.

The next day, Gao Huan suddenly felt regretful, since someone like Yuwentai can't be used by me, he shouldn't be left to He Bayue as a helper, he ordered someone to ask Yuwentai to come over immediately, however, the person sent to restore Yuwentai has already said goodbye. Gao Huan hurriedly sent someone to catch up.

Yuwentai had long expected that Gao Huan would have this trick, so as soon as he got on the road, he worked hard day and night, and the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion chased him until Tongguan and didn't catch up.

Gao Huan was even more sure that Yuwentai was an extraordinary person, and he couldn't help but regret it. When Yu Wentai returned to Chang'an, he reported everything he had seen and heard in Jinyang to He Batyue, and in some places he exaggerated his words, his original intention was to ask He Batyue to work hard under the pressure of a powerful enemy and arouse He Batyue's fighting spirit.

In Yuwentai's mouth, Gao Huan is naturally not a good thing, rebellion is a matter of time, the reason why the rebellion has not been shown so far is because he is afraid of the strength of the Heba brothers, as for Hou Mo Chen Yue and the like, they are not in Gao Huan's eyes at all. "What should I do?" "It's not difficult to prepare early.

At present, there are more than 10,000 elite cavalry in Guanxi, there are more than 3,000 elite soldiers in Xiazhou, Cao Ni, Lingzhou Assassin, and Yili, who are exiles in Hexi, and they do not know where they belong. The Duke of Ming should lead the army to close to Long, use both Enwei and Enwei, and take these local separatist forces for his own use, Ji Di and Qiang in the west, Fu Shasai in the north, and then return the army to Chang'an, Kuang Fu Wei Chamber, what is this, this is what Qi Huan Jinwen did. ”

He Batyue listened to Yu Wentai's lofty remarks, and his heart suddenly brightened, according to this strategy, the Guanlong area is my He Batyue's world. Of course, to do these things, you must have the authorization of the emperor, and the means are legal in order to be just.

Luoyang He Bayue is not worried at all, Yuan Xiu has sent envoys to Guanzhong many times to show goodwill, speaking of which, the emperor's willingness to form an alliance with himself is more urgent, as long as it is to contain Gao Huan, the emperor will definitely support it. What to do now is to send someone to Luoyang secretly to explain his plan to the emperor, and then ask for a holy decree to come. The best candidate to complete this task is naturally Yuwentai.
