In February, with the entry of Daxingtai into the court, the imperial court soon responded to Hou Jing's surrender: Hou Jing was the prince, and Henan Daxingtai was added, and he was knighted as the prince of Shanggu County.

This level of conferral is definitely an unattainable honor for ordinary people, and how many of the civil and military ministers of the Western Wei Dynasty can mix up to the level of Shanggong and Xingtai?

But for Hou Jing, such treatment is nothing, because his official position in the Eastern Wei Dynasty is even better than this.

Therefore, the imperial court issued such a condition, which only showed that it was willing to accept Hou Jing's surrender, but there was no over-the-top reward, let alone a corresponding plan, which was purely perfunctory.

In any case, with the issuance of this edict of the imperial court, the masses inside and outside were all aware of the matter, and every time they talked about it, it would trigger a burst of schadenfreude and laughter. As old enemies who have been at war with each other for many years, there is really no better news for the masses of the Western Wei Dynasty than the bad luck of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

After the edict was issued, it naturally had to be transmitted to the Hou Jingjun garrison in Henan. Li Yuan, as the chief general of the western Henan side, also went east with the imperial envoys and returned to his station to prepare for the war.

The water flows out of Fangshan in the south, flows through the border of North Yuzhou in the north and flows into the Yellow River, and its entrance to the river is the Tiger Prison City.

At the headwaters of the upper reaches of the river, the rolling hills to the west and the hills to the east are the hills that change from high to low, and now there is a large camp on this hill, which is well established by the mountains and rivers, and can accommodate at least tens of thousands of horses and horses.

Although the scale of the camp is huge, it is not chaotic, and the inside and outside are orderly, although there are constantly battalion soldiers coming and going, but there are few horses neighing and roaring to disturb people's eyes and ears, which shows that the general will be in charge of the army here, and the military orders are strict.

Several scouts galloped into the gate, and soon a cavalry team of hundreds of people gathered in front of the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp, and several burly and sturdy generals with overall armor surrounded a middle-aged man in a hakama riding costume, and marched towards the gate.

This middle-aged man who was surrounded by all the generals and the battalion soldiers was the main general of this camp, Hou Jing of Daxingtai, Henan.

Although Hou Jingqi has been fighting horses for many years and is famous at the time, his image is quite inconsistent with his prestige, his figure is not as burly and tall as the average town person, but it looks a little thin, giving people the feeling of not being able to win the armor, the upper body is long and straight, and the lower body is slightly shorter, and the right leg is obviously a few points shorter than the left leg, so it walks slightly lame.

In addition to his physique, Hou Jing's appearance is also different from that of Xianbei Town, with high eyebrows and slightly sunken eye sockets, and a coldness in his eyes, and he rarely looks up at people, he is used to looking down at the ground, his face is slightly red, and his sideburns are not as thick as ordinary martial artists.

On the whole, judging from the image alone, he is more like a talented and intelligent person who knows everything in his mind and often has wonderful ideas, but he does not look like a powerful military leader who is in charge of thousands of troops and horses, and has great military and political power.

But people can not be good-looking, especially the generals under Hou Jing's command dare not underestimate the majesty of this general, Hou Jingzhi's military orders are strict, rewards and punishments are clear, if the generals can use their lives to win, although they can capture tens of millions, they can also be assigned in shifts, if they are defeated against the order, even if they are henchmen, they will be severely punished.

At present, Hou Jing rode his horse, his eyebrows slightly locked, and he looked down thoughtfully at the ground in front of the horse. And the generals behind him also looked solemn, and there was a sense of apprehension between their eyebrows.

After the group arrived at Yuanmen, they dismounted and stood behind Hou Jing, as if they were waiting for someone. Although time has not long passed, some generals have impatience on their faces.

"What is the chance that the lord will accept the Westerners and send troops to help? Now that most of our people have descended from Henan, they have always won the old year Gao Zhongmi District and a northern Yuzhou, and when the country is in turmoil, the Westerners have come out to help in the old years, and now the situation is more beautiful, and it will be even more impatient!"

A general in his thirties approached Hou Jing's back and asked in a low voice, and at the same time sighed with some regret: "It's a pity, it's a pity that I couldn't capture West Yanzhou in one fell swoop. Wait until the main business bank enters the capital,

To seize the power of the government, all sides can pass on the verdict, so why rely on the power of the Westerners!"

The general's name is Sima Shiyun, and now the official residence is in Yingzhou, and when Hou Jing erected an anti-flag, he raised the city to respond. And this Sima Shiyun has another identity, that is, one of the four nobles of Yedu in the early years, and the nephew of Sima Ziru.

Several other generals present were also many Wuren from Beizhen and Huaishuo Township, and when they heard Sima Shiyun's words, they couldn't help but sigh.

For example, the Guangzhou Assassin Shi Violent Xian was originally ordered to lead his troops to follow the rear army last year and prepare to participate in the Battle of Yubi, but he had to withdraw his troops because the Western Wei general Yang Yan defended Qiziling. At the beginning, he did not plan Hou Jing's rebellion, but was lured by Hou Jing's camp.

Under the persuasion of Hou Jingyi and Chen Yili, these people decided to follow Hou Jing to rebel together. These people generally have one thing in common, that is, although they have deep qualifications, they are not valued by Gao Cheng, the son of the world, and have even been suppressed and punished.

When King Gao was alive, they naturally did not dare to harbor different intentions. But now that King Gao is dead, the prince Gao Cheng is mean and unkind, and he obviously values those Hebei clans more, and he is alienated and disgusted with them, which naturally makes people angry.

They are now gathered around Hou Jing, hoping to force the palace to seize power, take advantage of the chaos of the Jinyang overlord due to the death of King Gao, enter the Ye capital, and regain the power of their townspeople.

However, because the Western Yanzhou Assassin Shi Xingzi was too vigilant, their most ideal plan failed, and they had to find more help, hoping that the Western Dynasty could help them like Gao Zhongmi in the Battle of Bishan in the old year.

Hou Jing stood in place, listening to the generals' discussions, his expression did not change significantly, but his heart was not relaxed.

Although Hou Jing also felt a pity for the generals who regretted that they could not take West Yanzhou, it was not so painful.

The so-called plans for troops to enter Dongjun, cross the river on white horses, and enter and control Yedu are just a big pie that he used to motivate the generals, but in fact the possibility of being able to do it is very small. The Yedu court seems to be just a puppet regime, but its internal personnel are also extremely complicated, otherwise Gao Wangda would not have to avoid Jinyang and control the government with the military.

Even King Gao couldn't firmly control the situation in Yedu, and Hou Jingjiu was in Henan and rarely in the court, so he naturally lacked confidence in this.

Take Xing Zicai, the assassin of West Yanzhou, for example, he originally belonged to a member of the Hebei clan, but he was not as willing to obey himself as the generals here, even if he was lucky enough to successfully enter Yedu, similar resistance was inevitable, not to mention the wolf-like Jinyang army.

Therefore, for Hou Jing, the most ideal state is naturally to be able to stabilize the power he currently has in Henan, set an example for those military leaders in the country with different aspirations, and create an opportunity for them to support the army and respect themselves.

"Ahem......

As Hou Jing coughed lightly, the generals also hurriedly stopped talking, he glanced back at everyone, and felt that it was still not appropriate for them to have too high expectations for the Western Dynasty, so he sneered: "The Westerners are poor and fierce, greedy and forgetful.

Before, there were poor and fierce people who jumped into Jinyang and attacked and disturbed the chaos, which shows that they are greedy. Now I raise the land of Henan to lure it, the black otter must be greedy and dizzy, eager to receive, he has been under the power of the high king for a long time, can he not fight for this good opportunity? But even if the Westerners come to fight, they must not relax, as long as they provoke the Hebei people, our department must not push the henchmen and fight with strength!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded yes. At the same time, a scout team in the distance also received the envoy from the Western Dynasty, Hou Jing hurriedly stepped forward and welcomed the envoy into the big tent of the Chinese army.

The two sides have been enemies for many years, and Hou Jing is famous for his murder, so the envoy is also a little restrained when he enters here, and first perfunctory two sentences, and then he reads out the edict given by the emperor to Hou Jing.

The other generals in the tent heard that the lord had been awarded the official title of the Western Dynasty, and some of them were already overjoyed, but after Hou Jing heard it, he was angry, and he pulled out his saber and cut off the book

Yijiao said angrily: "The Westerners are completely immeasurable, and they are really unbearable, no wonder they are suffering in the narrow and poor land of Kansai!"

Of course, he did not sincerely surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty, but he just needed to take the attitude of the Western Wei Dynasty to demonstrate to the country, so that the Jinyang side could weigh and weigh and throw a mouse. But now Western Wei only gave him a few false titles, and this treatment was not as good as Gao Zhongmi in the old years, which really made him indignant.

But fortunately, his flattering eyes were not just thrown in one place, the envoys sent to the Southern Dynasty and the Guanxi envoys set off together, and because the Southern Liang had repaired with the Eastern Wei Dynasty in recent years, the journey of the envoys to the south was much smoother than that of the west, although the journey was longer, but the feedback was almost at the same time.

Different from the perfunctory of the Western Dynasty, Xiao Yan of the Southern Dynasty gave much more sincerity: Hou Jing was the general, the king of Henan, the governor of Henan, and the military of the north and the stage.

"No wonder all the generals have to beg for food in Jiangbiao when they are defeated, the old man of the Xiao family is indeed much more ambitious than the short-sighted soldiers such as the black otter!"

After receiving the conferral from Nanliang, the new prince of Henan, Hou Jing, couldn't help but smile, and ordered the envoy of Nanliang to be treated favorably as a guest of honor, but the envoy of the Western Dynasty was detained.

At the same time, he ordered his troops to move south. Since West Yanzhou was not captured, it was difficult to deploy defenses along the river. And he didn't believe that Yuwen Black Otter really had no interest in Henan, so he waited for the western army to go east, and the Heyang garrison would also come south to fight.

Now that he is going south to make room for the battlefield for both sides, he can sit back and watch the next battle of Pishan, and he can also receive personnel assistance from the Southern Dynasty nearby, why not?
