After three east-west wars, the vitality of the two Wei Dynasty was damaged a lot, and both sides had a process of recovery, so after nearly three years of peace, the first thing that was ready to move was still the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Eastern Wei Dynasty and Shang Shu Servant Shot, Henan Road Daxingtai Hou Jing sat in Yuzhou, although Hou Jing is not very literate, but there is a great talent for governing one side, he resisted the Wei army in the south and Liang Chaoxi, and the affairs of Henan have since made Gao Huan sit back and relax. Under this kind of form, Gao Huan couldn't wait to fight to the death with Yuwentai again.

In August 542, Gao Huan sent troops from Jinyang to the west. The army arrived at Yubi, don't go, this jade city that emerged in Fenbei gave Gao Huan a headache, there is such a pillbox and pestle here, he can't cross the river at all, no matter how stupid people are, as long as his main force passes, Yubi's Wei army will cut off his grain route at any time, without logistics support, the battle can't be fought at all.

Therefore, if you want to go to Guanzhong to fight with Yuwentai happily, you must first pass Wang Sizheng to solve the jade bi. Gao Huan's army surrounded Yubi City, but the terrain of Yubi was dangerous, and the attack was bound to be a vicious battle, so Gao Huan hoped to be able to surrender without a fight.

It is Wang Sizheng who guards the city, one of the two traitors who held Yongxi Emperor Yuanxiu hostage, Gao Huan has always hated him very much, but, in order to reduce some losses, in order to be able to capture Chang'an, if you can't bear it, you will have a big plan, not to mention that it is better to settle the dispute, as long as Wang Sizheng is willing to surrender, we can still get back together. So, Gao Huan submitted a letter to the city to persuade him to surrender, and the condition was that he would be assassinated in the state, and the state was where the prime minister's mansion of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was located, and its status was even more important than that of Xiangzhou. Gao Longzhi and Gao Cheng, one of them is Gao Huan's most trusted brother. One is a biological son.

In order to make Yubi succumb, Gao Huan's price can be said to be high enough. However, Gao Huan was disappointed. He didn't know Wang Sizheng too well, an old rival.

On the contrary, Wang Sizheng knows Gao Huan too well, although the two have not worked together for a long time, they have always been in harmony, Wang Sizheng regards Gao Huan as a powerful minister who monopolizes the government and holds the Son of Heaven hostage, Gao Huan regards Wang Sizheng and Hu Sichun as traitors around the emperor, Gao Huan has always believed that the culprit of Yuan Xiu's departure is not him, the prime minister, but the young people around the emperor.

Originally. Wang Sizheng is unwilling to tolerate Gao Huan, how can he be subservient now. What's more, Wang Sizheng now has the trust of Yuwentai, and Yuwentai has entrusted him with carte blanche for the military operations west of Tongguan, and he is grateful, not to mention, with Wang Sizheng's demeanor and temperament, of course, it is not something that high-ranking officials can impress. Wang Sizheng asked Changshi Pei Xia to return to the book, and Pei Xia lived up to expectations. The words of the reply letter written were heroic, and he cross-examined Gao Huan at the end of the letter: But Zhu Hun Daoyuan has traveled thousands of miles to join you,

Why didn't you let him do the state assassination? The implication is that the history of the state is just talking. can't be really, such an important place, in addition to the Gao family, can it be handed over to outsiders with confidence? Yubi's reply made Gao Huan speechless. This matter later reached Yuwentai's ears, and Yuwentai appreciated Pei Xia's response very much. After the Battle of Yubi, he was specially promoted to be the county guard of Hebei.

Pei Xia was Pei Xie, the Hedong Liberation Man who entered the customs with Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiu, and when Emperor Xiaowu turned his face with Gao Huan, he recruited military horses from all over the world to enter Beijing. At that time, Pei Xie, who was the Taishou of Dongjun and the general of Fangcheng, led his troops to Luoyang, and at that time, Wang Sizheng was bent on instigating Emperor Xiaowu to have a showdown with Gao Huan, and regarded Guanzhong as the last hole card. But Pei Xie pointed out that Yuwentai is absolutely unreliable, and he is afraid that he is "according to tribulus terrestris" in Guanzhong.

bluffed Wang Sizheng and asked: What can I do? Pei Xie said helplessly: Gao Huan is the immediate worry, and the future problems of the Western Patrol can only be seen step by step. A series of events that occurred later proved that Pei Xie was indeed extraordinary, and Wang Sizheng admired him very much. Emperor Xiaowu moved westward, and the loyal Pei Xie did not take care of Dongjun's wife to accompany him into the customs, and joined the army as a scholar of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Shayuan Battle Pei Xie led the township soldiers to participate in the battle, becoming one of the few soldiers and horses who arrived at the battlefield in time at that time, leaving a deep impression on Yuwentai, the leader was satisfied that it was easy to do, and after the war, he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds and became a marquis, and gave him the name of chivalry. Since then, Pei Xie has changed his name to Pei Xia.

Wang Sizheng went out of the town and invited this knowledgeable old friend to come over and make a history of the military government and help him take care of important military and political affairs. Gao Huan read the letter and understood that Wang Sizheng was determined to mix with Yuwentai, and the soft ones could not only be hard, so he ordered a strong attack.

Of course, Yuwentai, who was sitting in Guanzhong, also knew the importance of Yubi, so after getting the news that Yubi was besieged, he immediately led the generals from Huazhou to send troops to Pusaka, leaving the prince Yuanqin to garrison, and he led the army to slowly move towards Yubi. Gao Huan attacked Yubi for nine days, but Yubi City did not move at all, so the blitzkrieg turned into a tug-of-war, and the two sides were consumed like this.

Yuwentai's garrison watched, and in his heart he was not willing to fight Gao Huan, after all, the shadow of Heyin had not completely dispersed in the hearts of the Western Army, so although he came, he was only marching slowly.

Wang Sizheng kept giving Yuwentai surprises, and he didn't ask Yuwentai to rescue him immediately. Siege is not Gao Huan's strength, but defending the city is Wang Sizheng's strength. Unfortunately for Gao Huan, soon, Gao Huan encountered a more powerful enemy than Wang Sizheng. When the troops were dispatched from Jinyang in August, the weather was still hot, and the sergeants were all wearing single clothes.

This year, the weather was abnormal, winter came early, and in October there was heavy snowfall. Wang Sizheng was prepared, the defenders in the city changed into cotton clothes early, and the Eastern Wei soldiers under Gao Huan were miserable. Helpless, Gao Huan had no choice but to withdraw from the siege.

Yuwentai, who has been marching slowly, has been grinding for two months before arriving at Soap, the scout came to report that Gao Huan had run away, he immediately came to the spirit, and immediately increased the speed of the march to pursue Gao Huan to take advantage of it, and when he arrived at the border, Gao Huan had long been gone, Yuwentai withdrew after showing off his might, and the propaganda agency started a qiē propaganda machine: The East Thief heard that my army was coming, and he was scared away!

The first merit of this battle is none other than Wang Sizheng, Yuwentai will be rewarded for his merits, Wang Sizheng was promoted to the general of the hussars and added the three divisions of the Fuyi and the two Wei borders to restore peace again.

Gao Huan is also very cute, and after returning to Jinyang, he immediately appointed Ke Zhu Hun Daoyuan as the assassin of the state, in order to show his attitude of forgetting his selfish trust and surrendering to the general. I don't know if Zhu Hun Daoyuan will be grateful to Wang Sizheng for this.

In February of the following year (February 543 AD), an exciting news reached Chang'an. Eastern Wei Dynasty, Northern Yuzhou, Assassin Shi Gao Zhongmi, raised the city and surrendered. Gao Zhongmi's rebellion was tantamount to a major earthquake in the political arena of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, due to his special status. Therefore, its impact is far more than the rebellion of a state, and Gao Huan understands that with Gao Zhongmi's family background and status and prestige in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, if it is not handled carefully, it will shake the foundation of the country.

Gao Zhongmi, named Shen, originally from Bohai County, was born in the Bohai Gao clan, an authentic Hebei clan, and was the main participant in the Gao Huandu uprising. Gao family four heroes are all great heroes of Xindu Jianyi, Gao Shen Xing two, originally a lieutenant of the imperial history, the boss Gao Qian became a victim of the struggle of the monarch in the era of Emperor Xiaowu, the third Gao Ao Cao was once a banner of the Han army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, unfortunately died in Heyin, and the fourth Gao Ji style served as the assassin of Jeju. The Gao family is full of people and Gao Huan have the same clan, and they should be regarded as Gao Huan's most trusted people.

However, Gao Zhongmi reversed. The cause was actually a case of hooligan harassment. Gao Zhongmi originally married Boling Cui Xian's sister, but later the husband and wife were not in harmony and divorced, and the two families also changed from relatives to enemies.

Gao Huan, the prime minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who sat in Jinyang and controlled Yecheng, sent his son Gao Cheng into Beijing to assist in rectifying the rule of officials, and Gao Cheng personally served as the secretary of the ministry. With Cui Xian as the minister. Gao Zhongmi has always been known for his strict law enforcement, so Gao Huan took him as a lieutenant in the imperial history, but Gao Zhongmi chose his subordinates to use relatives and villagers. turned the Yushitai into Gaojiazhuang, how can this be. Gao Cheng ordered him to be re-elected. This incident made Gao Zhongmi very embarrassed, and he thought that Cui Xian must be making trouble from it. So I hate Cui Xian very much.

The seeds of contradiction had been planted, but another accident occurred. That Gao Chengsheng is handsome and chic, Yushu is in the wind, but such a master is lustful by nature, when Gao Huan was crusading against Bu Luo, he once had an affair with Gao Huan's little wife Zheng Dache, and that time almost led Gao Huan's official princess Lou Zhaojun was deposed, but fortunately, Sima Ziru was able to pass through the mediation between mother and son.

However, Gao Cheng does not have a long memory when he eats salt, and he is not restrained at all. Yes, a teenager holding such an important position as the Prime Minister of the Reich is like a newborn calf with wings, what else can he fear.

Gao Zhongmi's wife Li was smart and gorgeous, but unfortunately Gao Cheng took a fancy to him, he saw an opportunity to overlord the bow, and the Li family, who was born in the Zhao County clan, resolutely refused, and tore his clothes under the pull. Listening to his beloved wife's crying, Gao Zhongmi was very annoyed, but what could he do? Xiaobawang is his top boss, so he can only be ruthless behind his back.

This blow made Gao Zhongmi disheartened, and since then he has been passive and slacking off, and he has not done the work that should be done, as a senior prosecutor of the government, he has hardly impeached anyone for a long time, Gao Huan is very annoyed, the leader is not satisfied, and Gao Zhongmi is also secretly frightened. At this time, the political situation of the Eastern Wei Dynasty had reached the point where Gao Huan had to kill Cheng Dù, and even Xiao Xingshi was satirical about Gao Huan's brother-in-law Wei Jing's corruption and lawlessness

& to, Gao Huan wanted to use an iron fist to rectify the rule of officials, and authorized Gao Cheng to let go and do it boldly, under Gao Cheng's Jianyì, Gao Zhongmi was sent to Chenggao to do the assassin of Northern Yuzhou, and Cui Xian replaced him as a lieutenant of the imperial history. Gao Huan also knew that Gao Zhongmi would definitely not be satisfied with this arrangement, so he had more eyes.

The so-called history of the assassination of the bicycle is only in charge of the civil affairs and the army, as long as you have no military power in your hands, you can't do anything out of the ordinary just by relying on your subordinates, Gao Huan sent another general Xi Shouxing as the governor of the town to be responsible for the defense of the tiger prison. Gao Zhongmi was disgruntled and decided to rebel. However, if you have a history of stabbing on a bicycle, you have no soldiers in your hands and no generals, how can you reverse?

Gao Zhongmi conspired with his henchman Li Tang in Northern Yuzhou, Li Tang confidently followed the Gao brothers, witnessed the murder of Gao Gan and the martyrdom of Gao Aocao, and was very unfair to Gao Cheng for bullying Gao Zhongmi, so he agreed with Gao Shen's plan. As for Xi Shouxing, Li Tang sneered: A martial artist, what a good thing to worry about, so that Jun set up a table of banquets and invite him to come, and it is enough to capture a wrestler. Gao Zhongmi secretly ambushed the strong man, and invited Xi Shouxing to come over the house with wine.

Unexpectedly, Xi Shouxing's vigilance was still very high, and he politely declined Gao Zhongmi's good intentions. Gao Zhongmi was very frustrated, and Li Tang said: "It's okay, I'll go and invite him personally, and I will definitely be able to make him obedient." Li Tang saw Xi Shouxing and said: "On the order of the high prince, invite the general to the banquet." Xi Shouxing said: "I am busy with military affairs, I dare not slack off, please ask Mr. to thank me." "This is the general's mistake, so aren't you afraid of the Beiyu military and civilians gossiping?" "Why did you say that, sir?" "The general and the envoy are brothers. Today, the high prince set up a banquet, with the general as the main guest. Where is the reason why the guests are all here and the host and guest are not?

I'm afraid I've heard about it from far and near. There will be some bad comments. "This ......" for the weight of the Gao brothers, Xi Shouxing doesn't know. The four masters of the Gao family are all Jianyi Fathers, Gao Qian is high and ranks as the third duke, Gao Shen is a lieutenant of the imperial history, but he has some problems with Gao Cheng, so he is released here, who dares to guarantee that Prime Minister Gao will not reactivate him one day? Seriously, I really can't afford to offend.

Xi Shouxing had no choice but to go to the banquet. How did Xi Shouxing, a martial artist, beat Gao Zhongmi, who was an all-round man in civil and military affairs, Hongmen feasted and drank three times, and strong men rose everywhere, and Xi Shou was placed under house arrest. Northern Yuzhou raised the flag to rebel, and Li Tang was ordered to enter the customs to ask for surrender to the Western Wei.

At the same time, Gao Zhongmi sent two messengers, all the way to Jeju to inform the fourth brother Gao Jishi to rebel together, but Gao Jishi was not optimistic about what the second brother did, not only did not respond, but also sent the brother's letter to Gao Huan to show that he parted ways with Gao Shen, and Gao Huan was kind enough to comfort him.

Another messenger went to Gao Zhongmi's hometown of Jizhou to contact the wealthy people of Jizhou. For a while, Jizhou was about to move, and Gao Huan hurriedly sent Feng Longzhi back to deal with it. With the prestige of the Feng family, Jizhou soon calmed down.

As a gateway to Luoyang, the strategic position of Tiger Pass is very important. Therefore, the Western Wei Dynasty attached great importance to it and worshiped Gao Zhongmi as a servant and Situ. However, Northern Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of Henan. Hou Jing is in Henan, and Gao Huan is just around the corner. Do you want to send someone to pick up Gao Zhongmi's entry?

Who to send? Yuwentai convened the generals to discuss, and almost no one was in favor of sending troops. Li Yuan, the general of the hussars, the Kaifu, and the young master Li Yuan persuaded: Northern Yuzhou is far away. Gao Huan has heavy troops in Heyangtun, and it is indeed difficult to rescue according to common sense, but the soldiers are expensive and fast, and things are expensive. The ancients did not enter the tiger's den to get the tiger's son, and if they made a surprise attack, they might be able to achieve great things.

If there is a mistake, it is also a common thing in soldiers. If you don't have to worry about it, you will never succeed. Yuwentai was moved by Li Yuan's words, so he made up his mind to overcome all difficulties and recapture Henan.

The king of Northern Qi is so lustful, and there is basically no scandal in the palace, starting from Gao Huan, one is better than the other. Gao Cheng's lust is innate, he has been interested in women since he was a child, and he also soaked his father's favorite Zheng Dache, and almost didn't cause a big accident. Gao Zhongmi was forced to run away by Gao Cheng, and Hou Jing was also provoked by Gao Cheng on the quite Cheng dù.

Gao Zhongmi was disgruntled and decided to rebel. However, if you have a history of stabbing on a bicycle, you have no soldiers in your hands and no generals, how can you reverse? Gao Zhongmi conspired with his henchman Li Tang in Northern Yuzhou, Li Tang confidently followed the Gao brothers, witnessed the murder of Gao Gan and the martyrdom of Gao Aocao, and was very unfair to Gao Cheng for bullying Gao Zhongmi, so he agreed with Gao Shen's plan.

As for Xi Shouxing, Li Tang sneered: A martial artist, what a good thing to worry about, so that Jun set up a table of banquets and invite him to come, and it is enough to capture a wrestler. Gao Zhongmi secretly ambushed the strong man, and invited Xi Shouxing to come over the house with wine. Unexpectedly, Xi Shouxing's vigilance was still very high, and he politely declined Gao Zhongmi's good intentions. Gao Zhongmi was very frustrated, and Li Tang said: "It's okay, I'll go and invite him personally, and I will definitely be able to make him obedient." ”

Li Tang saw Xi Shouxing and said: "On the order of Gao Gong, I invite the general to the banquet." Xi Shouxing said: "I am busy with military affairs, I dare not slack off, please ask Mr. to thank me." "This is the general's mistake, so aren't you afraid of the Beiyu military and civilians gossiping?" "Why did you say that, sir?" "The general and the envoy are brothers, and today the high prince is at the table, with the general as the main guest. Where is the reason why the guests are all here and the host and guest are not?

I'm afraid that when I hear about this from far and near, there will be some bad discussions. "This ......" for the weight of the Gao family brothers, how does Xi Shouxing not know, the Gao family is a family and four heroes are all Jianyi fathers, Gao Qian is the third duke, Gao Shen is the lieutenant of the imperial history, but he has some problems with Gao Cheng, so he is released here, who dares to guarantee that Prime Minister Gao will not reactivate him one day? Seriously, I really can't afford to offend.

Xi Shouxing had no choice but to go to the banquet. How can Xi Shouxing, a martial artist, fight Gao Zhongmi, who is an all-round civil and military talent, Hongmen banquet and wine three rounds, strong men are everywhere, Xi Shou is under house arrest, Northern Yuzhou raised the flag to rebel, Li Tang was ordered to enter the customs to ask for surrender to the Western Wei.

At the same time, Gao Zhongmi sent two messengers, all the way to Jeju to inform the fourth brother Gao Jishi to rebel together, but Gao Jishi was not optimistic about what the second brother did, not only did not respond, but also sent the brother's letter to Gao Huan to show that he parted ways with Gao Shen, and Gao Huan was kind enough to comfort him.

However, Northern Yuzhou is located in the hinterland of Henan, Hou Jing is in Henan, Gao Huan is just around the corner, do you want to send someone to accept Gao Zhongmi's entry into the customs?

Who to send? Yuwentai convened the generals to discuss, and almost no one was in favor of sending troops. Li Yuan, the general of the hussars, the Kaifu, and the young master, persuaded him: Northern Yuzhou is far away, and Gao Huan has heavy troops in Heyangtun, so it is indeed difficult to rescue according to common sense, but the soldiers are fast and the things are expensive.
