After returning to Jinyang City from Xishan Beiye, Gao Huan personally sent the still resentful Bald Tujia back to the official residence, and was about to turn back to the mansion, but he saw that there seemed to be signs of armor agglomeration at the street corner not far from the official residence, so he gave Duan Shao, who was guarding the guard, a look. Cypress

Seeing this, Duan Shao nodded, and led a team of guards to go straight to the street corner, and soon drove out more than thirty soldiers armed with knives from there, all of whom were escorted back to the place where Gao Huan's car was.

"Why are the disciples gathered here? Don't you know that this residence is inhabited by state guests?"

A servant accompanying the driver stepped forward under Gao Huan's eyes, looked at the soldiers and asked.

The soldiers were driven here by Duan Shao's troops, and their expressions were panicked and frightened, but after hearing the official's question, the first few of them immediately showed anger on their faces, and one of them pointed at the official and roared angrily: "The slave under the gate actually calls the worming thief a guest!" A certain Jinyang strong man is waiting to kill the thieves in the palace for the king, if the slave dares to obstruct it, he will be killed together!"

When the official heard this roar, he immediately shrank his head in fright, there are countless arrogant soldiers around Jinyang City, and those who have a knife in their hands can be strong for three points, even if they are not deeply favored by the king, they have to give in three points in the face of these fierce soldiers.

"Bold! The king's car is driving here, and you dare to be presumptuous!"

Duan Shao shouted angrily, shocking everyone here, and immediately ordered to arrest the two leaders and lead them to Gao Huan's car. Cypress

After the two of them saw Gao Huan in the car, their faces suddenly became panicked and detained, and they hurriedly paused their heads to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The ministers did not intend to offend the king, just because the creeping thieves living in the mansion here always bully the soldiers and humiliate them in the city...... Many of the words are unbearable, and the ministers are ashamed and indignant, so they want to gather the righteous and kill the thieves in the hall, and if there is any violation of the law, treat the king for punishment......

Gao Huan in the car heard the words of the two commanders, and it was difficult to distinguish joy and anger in his quiet face, and he had also heard a lot about the deeds of the Rouran envoys in the market, so he was not surprised to hear the sergeants' complaints, and only after a little silence did he speak: "The thieves in the country are not here, and it is really stupid to use your righteous mind not for meritorious deeds but for breaking the law! Remove your armor and retreat, and stop disturbing the crime!"

After hearing this, the two army commanders were still about to open their mouths to fight, but Duan Shao instructed the guards to pull them down, and expelled and dispersed the soldiers who had gathered here, and then drove from Gao Huan's car to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"People are ashamed and brave, if the military heart is like this, does filial piety think it can be used?"

On the way back, Gao Huan thought about the answer between the two commanders before, and asked Duan Shao, who was riding next to the car.

After Duan Shao heard this question, he first groaned slightly, and then said: "There are no disciples outside the Dao, there are no people outside the law, the king is legislating for the Dao, punishing thieves for the country, this is a matter of not waiting for the yarrow turtle!" The king humiliates the ministers to death, and the call is one heart, and since the disciples are not afraid to fight and die here, they will not be afraid to win in the battle!"

Hearing Duan Shao's answer, Gao Huan also showed a somewhat relieved smile on his face, although he also understood that these words meant to comfort him a little, but it sounded exciting. Cypress

In the first year of Wuding, the battle of Pishan caused by Gao Zhongmi's escape was ended with a great victory in the Eastern Dynasty, although the Western Dynasty lost its armor and lost a big defeat, but the backbone of the Western Dynasty from the thief head Yuwen Black Otter was still able to smoothly withdraw to Guanzhong, and for many years in Guanzhong Frequent actions, large military equipment, the momentum is faintly better than before, quite a comeback.

Gao Huan thinks about this festival every time, his heart is often full of resentment, if he can fight to catch up with the momentum of the big victory, the situation of things today will inevitably be very different.

From an inconspicuous little person in the torrent of the Six Towns Mutiny to a powerful overlord now, Gao Huan is resolute and resolute, knowing that the chagrin afterwards is completely useless, and will only ruin his state of mind even more.

But in recent years, whenever he hears various personnel news from Kansai, he always can't help but imagine in his heart if he can hold on a little longer......

Although the battle of Bishan was finally victorious, Gao Huan was not happy, not only because of the unfinished work, but also because the offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides had changed in this battle, although it was

It was only with the cooperation of Gao Zhongmi, a traitor, that the Western Dynasty could enjoy the initiative, but this still required deep vigilance.

If the strength and tenacity of the western thief make Gao Huan vigilant, then the undercurrent in his own country can be called like a man's back.

Gao Zhongmi was one of the Yuan servants of the Hebei Uprising, and his people actually chose to defect to the Western Dynasty, no matter what the reason, it could not be described as a good sign. Cypress

One of the reasons why Gao Huan did not insist on continuing the pursuit after the Battle of Bishan was that he was worried that Gao Zhongmi's rebellion might have a chain of bad effects on Yexia and even Hebei.

Although Gao Zhongmi did not have such great influence, his son Gao Cheng did a lot of things that really harmed the interests of the Hebei clan around the time of Wuding. Therefore, at that time, Hebei also urgently needed sufficient force to deter it.

If the potential threat of the Hebei clan was a hidden danger that Gao Huan had anticipated and had already prepared a plan to deal with, then the performance of the six states on which he relied deeply in the war made him a little restless.

Among them, the most hateful is naturally Peng Le's formation of the Yuwen black otter, which looks stupid and reckless, but in fact is a dangerous and cunning woman.

These old fellows of the town soldiers are also well versed in the principle of "walking rabbits to death, lackeys to cook", compared with Gao Zhongmi, who is desperate to join the enemy, they are obviously more willing to be a Hou Jing of the authoritarian side, and whether their ability is up to scratch can be said for the time being, but they don't want to directly erase this possibility.

This attitude also extends to the question of whether to continue the pursuit after the Battle of Bishan, and among the generals, only Pan Le and Liu Feng supported the continued pursuit. Whether the other generals who disapprove of it are out of the military perspective of tired soldiers and horses, poor and unchased, or other reasons, it is up to the people to deal with it.

At that time, Gao Huan was also worried that the army would be outside for a long time and suspect that there would be changes in the rear, so he stopped and withdrew his troops for the time being. Cypress

Although the battle of Bishan was won, the problems exposed by it also needed to be solved urgently.

Therefore, after withdrawing from the first year of Wuding, Gao Huan asked for the construction of the Great Wall along the Beishan Mountain in Fuzhou to relieve the pressure from Rouran, and sent an envoy to repair the southern Liang to ensure the stability of the border.

Although most of the internal policies were implemented by the Yedu Imperial Court, Gao Huan was still afraid that Gao Cheng's prestige and means would be insufficient, and his own cronies in the Jinyang Tyrant's Mansion were responsible for the implementation.

After years of war in Hebei, a large number of people were shaded in the powerful portal, and the expansion of these hidden households could directly increase the population and money and grain taxes under the control of the hegemon.

Although most of the townspeople of the six towns who brought war and chaos to Hebei for many years were handed over to Gao Huan through the hands of the Erzhu clan, there are still many remnants of the six towns in the three prefectures of Ying, Ji, and Ding, which are the resettlement places of the townspeople of the six towns.

Therefore, Gao Huan sent envoys to Sanzhou to inspect and reorganize the remnants of the six towns, and if they could be moved, they would be resettled in the Liuqiao Prefecture around Jinyang, and those who had taken root and were difficult to move away would be reorganized into military households on the spot, and the governors of the six states were set up in the town, and these military households of the six towns were recruited to participate in the Yedu and Jinyang guards.

Through this series of means, the Eastern Dynasty's financial, material and military resources have increased to a great extent, which also makes Gao Huan's heart, which has never cooled down, become hot again. Cypress

In particular, while the Eastern Dynasties were developing rapidly in all aspects, the growth momentum of the Western Dynasties was not far behind, and even in terms of military affairs, the growth trend was even more rapid than that of the Eastern Dynasties.

Although the Eastern Dynasty had a higher foundation and had the high-quality source of soldiers in Liuzhou Xianbei, the scope of its recruitment of sergeants was still limited.

In particular, the Han people, who had an absolute advantage in population, although they also joined the army, mainly joined the army as the soldiers of the powerful family in Hebei, and the Eastern Dynasty and Gao Huanbafu themselves still did not have systematic recruitment policies and means.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Han soldiers was often criticized, and the country often laughed at Yuwen Black Otter's large-scale recruitment of Han soldiers as a stupid strategy to rush to the doctor, Gao Huan himself naturally would not make such an optimistic plan.

Even if each of them can be one against the others, but the small number of people is a natural disadvantage. Moreover, this so-called theory of racial superiority is itself particularly unreliable.

For a heroic lord with great ambitions like Gao Huan, the greatest torture is to see the enemy striding forward on the right path, while he is difficult to return and difficult to transform, although the gap is still obvious in the short term, but the long-term hope is pessimistic.

The only thing that may be gratifying is that his son is finally angry, and now he has become Gao Huan's indispensable right-hand man, but Gao Huan is still not at ease to leave the fierce giant Yuwen Black Otter to his son, and it is best to solve it by himself, which can not only be done in this way, but also avoid leaving trouble to his children and grandchildren. Cypress

Gao Huan groaned so deeply in his heart, the car quickly drove into the prime minister's mansion, and all the members were already waiting in the vestibule of the mansion, the first one was Zhao Yanshen, who was the prime minister's mansion Gongcao joined the army, and walked to the front of the car and raised his hand to help Gao Huan get out of the car.

Before Gao Huan could settle down, his eyes swept to a middle-aged general standing in front of Qunzuo, and a warm smile suddenly appeared on his face, striding up to this general and raising his hand to pat him on the shoulder and laughing: "The master is back to the house, I don't have to worry about it!" If you wait for the straight hall to report it early, let the master wait here, you really deserve to be punished!"

"Not long after the ministers entered the palace, these subordinates were also diligent in eating and drinking, and the king did not need to blame."

The middle-aged man's name is Di Gan, who is Gao Huan's sister-in-law, and now serves as the Taishi and the assassin of Dingzhou.

Zhao Yanshen stood aside and said with a smile: "Everyone in the mansion says that with the distance from far and near, the Taishi will not return to the mansion until tomorrow. But I don't want to enter this morning, which shows that the Taishi is diligent in the king's affairs, and his feet are fast, which is impressive! The ministers were about to rush to Xishan, but they were stopped by the Taishi......

"The king is not a wandering scene in the suburbs, how can he decide to stay because of his ministers! What's more, the long-term husband and wife are troubled by evil feelings, and when they meet after a long absence, who can bear to disturb them!"

Wei Digan opened his mouth again, as Gao Huan's confidant relative, he obviously knew that the matter in his door was quite deep, and his words did not hide his concern for the former princess Lou's family, although they did not have direct kinship with each other, but they have been following all the way from a small time to the present, and people are close to their party, so they make this righteous statement. Cypress

Gao Huan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he also knew that Di Gan was upright by nature and loyal to himself, so he must have been extremely depressed in his heart and couldn't bear it, so he hinted that he had to cherish his old friend.

"Summoning the master back to the house is for the sake of the country. If the state affairs are clear, the family affairs will be at peace!"

Gao Huan didn't want to say anything more based on this, he smiled and revealed the topic, and then looked at a man in black who was standing behind Di Gan, his expression turned heavy, and before he could speak, he first hugged his fists.

When the man in black saw this, he knelt down and didn't dare to accept this, but Gao Huan bent down and pulled him up, and said with a bit of shame in his tone: "The widow hated Wuding for not following Feng Lang's plan in the first year, and now Mo Yan is urging things, and Feng Lang can't be all filial piety."

The black-clothed man named Feng Zihua, is the son of the late Taibao Feng Long, and is now mourning for his father, hearing Gao Huan's words, he was even more excited and nostalgic, and hung his head and choked up: "When my father was alive, he was always proud of the merits of Yuan Cong, and he hated the sky when he was not fake, and he couldn't follow the merits. At the beginning of the minister's worship in Fukou, he knew that the king must be the only one to save the country at Kuang Shi, and Mu En followed the will, and fortunately obeyed the envoy!"

When Gao Huan heard this, he patted Feng Zihua on the shoulder again, and then walked into the straight hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion with everyone and began to preach his plan to launch another attack on the Western Thieves.

There are a lot of people in the straight hall, but they are mainly the civil servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After the Battle of Bishan, Gao Huan made an in-depth adjustment to the overlord, and the generals gradually withdrew from the decision-making level of the overlord, and were replaced by ministers with excellent talents but lack of power. Cypress

Now the people in charge of the overlord are the Jinyang soldiers composed of the Xianbei of the six states around Jinyang. The cavalry Cao was in charge of the affairs of the Sufu guard, and the foreign soldier Cao was in charge of the Xianbei nationality of the six states. Therefore, the overlord did not need to go through the imperial court at all, and he could gather hundreds of thousands of troops in Jinyang.

In addition, the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor set up by Yedu was in charge of the Yedu Forbidden Army's guards, including the former Luoyang Liufang Forbidden Army Sergeants, Yingji Ding's Sanzhou A and Zhuzhou County Soldiers' Guards.

Gao Huan will this time

If you want to make a big move, you plan to finish your work in one battle and wipe out the western thieves in one fell swoop, so the soldiers who can fight in the country naturally have to mobilize as much as possible, and the number of soldiers covered by the conscription plan formulated by the overlord alone has reached more than 200,000!
