Chapter 68: The Grand Governor of Gyeonggi

At the end of March last year, after the Battle of Hanling broke out, until Gao Huan entered Luoyang in April, in less than a month, Gao Huan swallowed the entire Kanto region with the land of Hebei without spending a single soldier.

This also means that the land of Shandong belongs to the legend, not the acquisition of one city and one place.

In order to appease the people's hearts, Gao Huan had to stay in the old place with the original local governors, and at the same time add officials to them to commend their merits.

After the surrender of Jeju to Jeju, he was awarded the Nam-do Daeungdae and the Jeju Thorn History is the most vivid example.

Regarding the hidden dangers brought about by this practice, Gao Huan, who had rebelled against the Erzhu clan as the host Daxingtai and Jizhou assassin, was too clear.

This is the move to invite Gao Cheng to Jinyang to discuss the removal of the line.

Gao Cheng inspected local officials and presided over scientific expeditions with the intention of strengthening the control of local grassroots officials.

And Gao Huan's act of abolishing local authorities is a blow to the local upper-level power organs.

Gao Huan, Gao Cheng's father and son have different paths, and their purpose is to promote Gao's Group to completely control Shandong.

"In the short term, the lone general Hugo stopped the army, and when the remnants of Qihu were reorganized in Jinyang, and when they were to be cut and withdrawn, they would deter Hebei and Shanxi, and the land of Henan would be handed over to Ah Hui."

Gao Huan instructed earnestly.

"A child will never fail to live up to his father's trust."

Hebei Xiang, Hebei, Cang, Yin, Ying, Ding six prefectures have long been in control, Shanxi is newly captured, Gao Huan really needs to face only after the battle of Guang'a, the base of northern Hebei You, Yan, Ping, Ying four prefectures.

And Gao Cheng wants to deter Henan, which is determined by the rumor, and there is a huge difference in the difficulty of the two, but it is also a helpless move.

Shanxi and Hebei are Gao Huan's important confidants, which can ensure the stability of the two places, and even if there is chaos in Henan, they can also lead the army to cross the river to the south at any time to quell the rebellion.

The burden was taken, and Gao Cheng also took advantage of the situation to make a request:

"Please ask your father to send a good general to help the child."

"It doesn't matter who you want."

Considering the complicated situation in Henan, the generals going south must cooperate closely with Gao Cheng, and Gao Huan no longer appointed Wei Digan to lead the army on his own like the last time.

Gao Cheng also thought of this, and after pondering for a long time, he said bluntly:

"Please send Gao Aocao, Yaoxiong, and Duan Shao to the south with the child."

Gao Huan made a slight calculation: Gao Ao Cao had 5,000 Han troops under his command, and Yaoxiong and Duan Shao had 3,000 each, adding up to only 11,000 people.

Thinking that Gao Cheng despised Henan's affairs, Gao Huan said unhappily:

"Why is Ah Hui so negligent? Just ask for a few thousand people. ”

Gao Cheng shouted:

"Father, there are no longer many soldiers, but he is driven like an arm, and his son has no prestige in the army, how dare he ask for the army, Duan Shao is a cousin, and he has been close since he was a child.

"When the child stayed in Yecheng, it happened to be Yingzhou, Yaoxiong Town, and then they got acquainted.

"And Gao Aocao can only hope that he can miss the friendship between the child and Gao Ji, and obey the dispatch."

Gao Huan reflected when he heard this: Did he prevent his son too much?

"How about I send the generals of my relatives south to help you?"

Gao Cheng immediately objected:

"How can the elders of the relatives follow their father for a long time, work hard, and the children are young?"

Gao Huan stopped thinking about it at this time, and then put forward another idea:

"I will grant you the governor of Gyeonggi, and you will appoint generals, recruit soldiers, and join forces with Gao Aocao and others with 30,000 troops to guard Gyeonggi."

"The child is willing to serve as the governor of Gyeonggi to help his father rule Shandong."

Gao Cheng was overjoyed, and after thanking him, he made another request:

"The child would like to ask his father for one more."

"Who?"

"Murong Shaozong."

Gao Huan glanced at Gao Cheng strangely when he heard this, and said:

"Murong Shaozong is not leading the army now, why does Ah Hui ask for this person?"

"During the battle of Hanling, it was the father who told the child that when he was defeated, he who could lead the army and retreat calmly should be a good general, and the father's words were always remembered by the child, and the child just asked for a good general to assist."

Gao Cheng replied respectfully.

Gao Huan's suspicions dissipated and he agreed to Gao Cheng's invitation.

Gao Huan appreciates Murong Shaozong's loyalty, but it is an idle arrangement for him, the reason is that after all, he loves his son and hopes to leave it to Gao Cheng for grace and reuse it in the future.

confirmed that Gao Cheng was not fighting Zhu Zhaoyu's idea, Gao Huan naturally would not object.

After clarifying the generals going south, Gao Huan commanded again:

"After you are transferred to the various platforms, the father will write to you, and after you get the letter, you will write to the Son of Heaven to remove the platform."

Gao Cheng immediately agreed.

The two fathers and sons carefully discussed the specific transfer of all parties, and Gao Cheng retired and returned to the house to ask Lou Zhaojun for peace.

The original owner entered Yecheng at the age of fifteen to take charge of the government, leading the left and right, the governor of Gyeonggi, and controlling the military and political power.

Although Gao Cheng did not catch the forbidden army, he finally controlled the military power of Gyeonggi two years earlier than him.

The Luoyang Forbidden Army was still in the hands of Lou Zhao by Gao Huan, obviously because of a layer of insurance, lest Gao Cheng's eyes be high and his hands were low, and the situation in Henan would be completely ruined.

The Gyeonggi Army had long since existed in name only after the defeat of Erzhu Selong and Erzhu Duryul, and now it has a long way to go to re-organize.

Gao Cheng's heart was surging, this would be a descendant army formed by him.

Although it is not comparable to Gao Huan, who has nearly 200,000 Xianbei and Qihu troops north of the Yellow River, it is the first step after all.

When Gao Cheng greeted Lou Zhaojun, Gao Qian, who stayed in Luoyang, was deeply involved in rumors, and this time it had nothing to do with the woman.

Luoyang.

Since Gao Cheng left, whether it is on the streets or in the courts, many people have blamed Gao Qian's practice of cherishing power but not mourning for his father.

Gao Qian naturally heard this kind of statement.

He was very angry, these remarks must have been the handiwork of those sect kings, but he was full of anger but didn't know who to vent to.

"Why don't Sikong ask the Son of Heaven to resign in the name of Ding Wei, the Son of Heaven will definitely stay, and Sikong's worries will be solved."

The staff in the government came up with an idea for Gao Qian.

Gao Qian was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately submitted his resignation to the Son of Heaven in accordance with what his staff said.

Yuan Shanjian was young, Gao Cheng was not in Luoyang, and the court affairs were presided over by Yuan Yan of Lingshangshu Province.

To Gao Gan's surprise, Yuan Jian actually agreed to Gao Gan's request, dismissed him from his post as a servant, and only retained his idle position.

"Fa Shou is a good plan, and he can really make Gao Qian resign by himself."

Yuan Xiu praised Hu Sichun.

It turned out that the so-called Gao Gan ignored his deceased father and coveted the rumors of power was released by Hu Sichun.

Hu Sichun smiled and said a few perfunctory words, hibernate for a long time, this is just his first move.

The key to the success of the strategy lies in whether the Son of Heaven represented by Yuan Jian will retain Gao Qian.

Gao Qian thought that Yuan Jian and Gao Huan were in-laws, and out of care of Gao Huan's face, he naturally would not allow it.

But what he didn't know was that as long as the clan sat on the seat of Yuan Yan, no matter how close the relationship was, they had to move step by step towards the opposite side of the Gao clan under the impetus of the sect kings.

This is the temptation of power.
