Hou Yuan is a smart man, and Er Zhurong can testify to this.

Although he does not have the talent to lead a large army, he is strong in judging the situation and adapting to the situation.

Only then did 700 cavalry break through tens of thousands of rebels in Hanlou, and 1,000 cavalry captured Liu Lingzhu.

Hou Yuan is a native of Jianshan County, Shenwu County, Shuozhou, geographically speaking, he is his own person in the six towns of Sanzhou, and in his early years, he and Gao Huan also followed Du Luo Zhou to revolt in Hebei, and later thought that Du Luo Zhou was difficult to succeed, so he followed his heart and defected to Er Zhurong.

Now that he saw that the Erzhu clan was suspicious of each other, when Erzhu Zhao retreated to Shanxi, facing the pressure of Gao Huan's army, it was not difficult for Hou Yuan to follow his heart again.

With the withdrawal of the Hebei army gathered by Er Zhu Zhao to Shanxi, Hou Yuan, the assassin of Dingzhou, surrendered to the city of Guang'a in Yinzhou, and the prefectures of Hebei, Ding, and Ying have attached themselves to the central government of Gao Huan in Xindu, and now the land of Hebei, as Li Yuanzhong said, only one Xiangzhou assassin Liu Dan is left to resist stubbornly.

In the face of the pressure of the approaching coalition forces of the Erzhu clan, Gao Huan listened to Sun Teng's suggestion and set up Bohai Taishou Yuen Long as the Son of Heaven and changed the Yuan Zhongxing.

This move is intended to stabilize the hearts of the people in Hebei and show that they are incompatible with the Erzhu clan.

Gao Cheng was full of sympathy for Yuen Long, and Yuen Long's identity doomed him to the position of the Son of Heaven.

Yuen Long was a distant relative of the clan, and the distance was a bit excessive, and he even came out of five suits.

Not to mention whether it can convince the people, Gao Huan will not allow the Son of Heaven to have a close connection with the Hebei Shi clan, Gao Huan's current power is composed of the Xianbei old department of Sanzhou and the six towns of Sanzhou and the Hebei Shi clan, if the Son of Heaven and the Hebei Shi clan are eyebrows, then it is not just a puppet, after all, Er Zhurong's body has just been buried for a short time.

On November 14 of the first year of Zhongxing (531), Gao Huan started the battle to unify Hebei, led the army south to Xiangzhou to attack Yecheng, and left Gao Cheng to preside over the grass platform team in Xindu City.

Gao Huan besieged the city for two months to dig tunnels, and finally in the seventeenth day of the first month of the second year of Zhongxing, set fire to the wooden pillars that supported the tunnels under the city wall, the city wall of Yecheng collapsed, Gao Huansheng captured Liu Dan, the assassin of Xiangzhou, and officially entered Yecheng.

At this point, the land of Hebei is roughly owned by Gao Huan.

During this period, Gao Huan's number one undercover agent, Liu Gui, who was allowed by Er Zhu Zhaowai to assassinate the history of Fenzhou, abandoned the city and defected to Gao Huan.

Qinghe Cui clan Cui Lingzhen led the remnants of the Qingzhou civil rebellion to annex.

After the capture of Yecheng, Gao Cheng was ordered to meet Gao Huan in Yecheng.

"Ah Hui, you did a good job in the letter."

Under the escort of the personal guards, Gao Huan and Gao Cheng father and son walked to Yecheng Santai.

Gao Cheng said modestly:

"In the battle of Guang'a, my father defeated the Erzhu coalition army with only two rumors, so that the people of the world could see the reality of the Erzhu clan, and it was much easier for the child to settle the hearts of the people in Hebei."

Gao Huan was a little complacent, but he still waved his hand and said:

"It's just a trick."

"A soldier who surrenders without a fight is the best."

Gao Cheng affirmed.

This praise is indeed from the bottom of his heart, Erzhu Zhao led 20,000 foot cavalry Tun Guang'a, and then gathered the Hebei army, known as 100,000, and Erzhudu Law Firm led the Luoyang Jinggi garrison, Erzhu Zhongyuan led the Xu Yan army, the tripartite alliance army can be claimed to be 200,000.

Gao Huan was outnumbered, but he did not waste a single soldier, and the two rumors made the Erzhu coalition army retreat one after another, and the results were even richer, covering almost the entire territory of Hebei.

"Between you and my father and son, there is no need to say these compliments, is there any contact between Wangsi and He Batsheng and Hu Sichun?"

"He Ba A's handwritten letter has been sent to He Batsheng's hands, He Batsheng expressed his willingness to belong to his father, Hu Sichun is also actively connecting with the Erzhu clan, it is said that not only the previous three-way army, even Erzhu Tianguang in the town guarding the pass also intends to send troops."

He Ba Ani is He Batsheng's eldest brother, He Batyun who followed Gao Huandong to Jianyi, and when Zhu Zhao detained He Batsheng and Hu Sichun, how could the news of killing He Batsheng be concealed from the widely heard Gao father and son.

Gao Cheng immediately asked He Batyun to write a letter, ordered someone to send it to He Batsheng, and Gao Huan wrote it himself to contact Hu Sichun.

"Hu Sichun saved me a lot of effort, go, follow my father to take a good look at this Yecheng Santai."

Gao Huan laughed when he heard this.

How can there be a few coalition forces in this world that can still succeed with their own ghosts.

Even Er Zhu Zhao, Er Zhu Zhongyuan, and Er Zhu Tianguang took them out individually and let Gao Huan gnaw them one by one, maybe it would take a lot of effort.

But the formation of a coalition expedition to Hebei is clearly an opportunity given by God to destroy the main force of the Erzhu clan in a battle.

No, it was not given by God, it was made possible by Hu Sichun, the general of the Erzhu clan.

Think about it carefully, their Gao family father and son can succeed, Er Zhu Zhaoju has made great contributions, not only sent the six towns to surrender people, Xu Gaohuan went east, and forced He Batsheng and Hu Sichun to rebel.

In the future, the father and son of the Gao family will control the government of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and at the celebration banquet, Er Zhuzhao will not be present, and no one will be allowed to move the chopsticks.

Gao Cheng followed Gao Huan into Jinfengtai, the so-called three Yecheng platforms, namely Jinfengtai, Tongque Terrace, and Bingjing Terrace.

Three by Cao Wei according to the north section of the city wall of Yecheng and built, three front and back row up, located in the center of the Tongque platform ten zhang high, after Zhao Shihu to increase the height of the Tongque platform two zhang, and build five floors on the platform, the top of the building is placed one zhang five high copper finch, Shu Yi Ruo flying, the demeanor is realistic.

Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and his son climbed on the fifth floor, and Yecheng Vientiane had an unobstructed view.

Today's Yecheng cannot be called the first metropolis in the eastern part of the Kanto, which will not be deserved until Gao Huan migrates more than 400,000 households from Luoyang to Yecheng in the future, and the new Yenan City is built.

In this life, with the existence of Gao Cheng, maybe Luoyang can escape a catastrophe.

When Gao's father and son climbed the building to imagine, in the land of Guanzhong, Hu Sichun wrote a letter to persuade Er Zhu Tianguang:

"Gao Huan's momentum is getting bigger and bigger, no one can calm him except the king, how can the king sit back and watch the Zong family perish, the Zong family is destroyed, how can the king sit firmly in Guanzhong."

Finally, Erzhu Tianguang decided to go east, and jointly sent troops to Hebei with Erzhu Zhao and others.

He Batyun and He Batyue, the younger brother of He Batsheng, learned the news and immediately summoned his henchman Yuwentai to discuss countermeasures.

In the Six Towns Rebellion that year, Wuchuan Haojie was captured by Wei Kegu, and the Heba clan and the Yuwen clan attacked and killed Wei Kegu, and the eldest brother Yuwen Hao died in this battle.

After the rebellion of the six towns was pacified, He Bayue defected to Er Zhurong, Yuwentai participated in the Hebei uprising with his father and brother, his father Yuwen Qiu and the second brother Yuwen Lian died in the battle of Dingzhou, and the third brother Yuwen Luosheng was a grass king under Ge Rong, and after the rebellion of Ge Rong was pacified, he was captured and killed by Er Zhurong.

The last of the four brothers, Yu Wentai, was saved by He Bayue, and since then he has followed He Bayue around, and has been fighting with him everywhere to pacify Guanlong.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Wentai analyzed:

"Ming Gong, the Erzhu clan is relying on nothing more than the remnants of the heavenly pillar, the world is afraid of its force, and now the coalition army is eastward, each with different aspirations, it will be broken by Gao Huan, once defeated, teach the world to see the truth clearly, I am afraid that the Erzhu clan will inevitably die quickly."

He Batyue was deeply convinced by this and asked:

"According to the Black Otter, how should I behave."

"Once Erzhu Tianguang goes east, Ming Gong can occupy all the passes, take the opportunity to cut off the land of Guanlong, and wait to see the situation in Guandong, if the two sides are anxious, Ming Gong can wait for the opportunity to go east, if Gao Huan wins quickly, Ming Gong can be attached to the table, Gao Huan will be handed over to Ming Gong in order to appease people's hearts."

He Bayue was overjoyed when he heard this.
