It was when the two were alone that Chen Yuankang felt sorry for Gao Cheng's importance to him.

But he also knew that disobeying Gao Huan's order would not have any impact on the result except for giving Gao Cheng one more beating.

Chen Yuankang knelt down and begged Gao Cheng to allow him to go north to Jinyang.

Seeing that Gao Cheng was reluctant to agree for a long time, in order to show his loyalty, Chen Yuankang choked up and said:

"There are no two days in the sky, and there is only one sun in Yuanyasu's heart."

Gao Cheng hurriedly corrected his mistake and said loudly:

"My father is the only sun of Great Wei, and it was the will of God that chose him."

After that, he hurriedly ran out of the side room and saw that there was no one around, so he was relieved.

I couldn't help but look in the direction of Jinyang and shouted in my heart:

'Loyal! Honest! ’

At the same time, Dugu fell into a difficult choice as he wished.

Thirty-one-year-old Dugu Ruwish grew up in Wuchuan Town, handsome and good at riding and shooting.

Of course, all the children of the wealthy families from the northern Xinjiang are not far from riding and shooting.

As for the lower-class soldiers from poor backgrounds, there are very few people who can really be proficient in riding and archery.

For example, Gao Huan, who has the power in the world, did not get the first horse in his life until he married Lou Zhaojun.

Dugu got along with his fellow villagers He Bayue, Yuwentai and others, and at the age of twenty-three, he followed the Heba brothers and the Yuwen clan to attack and kill Wei Kegu.

After moving to Hebei, he joined Ge Rong with Yuwen's family and had the reputation of Dugulang.

Ge Rong was defeated and recommended by the Heba brothers, and Dugu joined Er Zhurong as he wished.

Since being stationed in Jingzhou, Dugu has served as the general of Xinye Town and the county guard of Nanxiang as he wished, but he has always served as the governor of Jingzhou Fangcheng.

Nanxiang County Town, County Guard's Mansion.

"In the name of the Son of Heaven, Hu Sichun booby-trapped Shi and occupied the state, and now he has sent an envoy to discuss with me, what should I do?"

Dugu affectionately called the Xianbei name of Yang Zhong, the general of the cronies, as he wished, and asked.

Yang Zhong's experience is much more tortuous than Dugu's wish, he is similar to Gao Huan, claiming that he is from the Hongnong Yang family, and now the Yang family is almost extinct, and no one can tell whether his origin is true or false.

According to his own account, after the Six Towns Uprising, the eighteen-year-old Yang Zhong went to Mount Tai to avoid trouble, but was captured by the Southern Liang army that took advantage of the chaos to the north, and lived in the Southern Liang for five years.

After the Heyin Rebellion, Yang Zhong was able to return to his hometown with Yuanhao, the king of Beihai who rebelled against Wei and surrendered to Liang, accompanied by a Southern Liang general with 7,000 men, and that person was named Chen Qingzhi.

Yang Zhong's trip back to his hometown is also more known as Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition.

It can be regarded as a little joke made by history, Sui Taizu was actually a participant in Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition.

Yuan Hao was defeated, Yang Zhong joined the Erzhu clan, and after several setbacks, he became Dugu's wish-worthy general.

Twenty-seven-year-old Yang Zhong pondered it repeatedly, and then he spoke:

"Now that He Liuhun occupies the eastern part of the Guandong and controls the imperial court, and He Bagong sits in the western part of the country, accumulating strength, there will be a battle between the two, Ming Gong thinks, can He Liuhun tolerate us and wait?"

As soon as the words came out, the titles of Gao Huan and He Bayue undoubtedly revealed the position of the two Wuchuan people.

"If Hu Sichun is destroyed, we will definitely become a trapped beast in the cage of He Liuhun Mud!"

Dugu said hatefully.

He is very clear about his political composition, as the hair of He Batyue and Yuwentai, and participated in the killing of Wei Kegu, in Gao Huan's eyes, he is the iron-clad He Batyue's henchmen.

The reason why he has not dealt with himself for a long time is just that he is busy with the surrender of various parts of Shandong and the complete elimination of the Erzhu clan's forces, and he has no time to look south.

Now that the Kanto region is basically pacified, Hu Sichun attacked and occupied Jingzhou, it is difficult to guarantee that Gao Huan will not take himself to Jinyang to take care of him after defeating Hu Sichun, and his life will be in the hands of others from then on.

Yang Zhong tried his best to persuade him:

"That being the case, why should the Duke of Ming hesitate, the soldiers are fast, when the news has not yet spread, it is wise to divide troops with Hu Sichun to capture Nanjing and Dongjing, and with the land of Sanjing, to the west to contact He Bagong, and to the south to make friends with Xiao Liang, so as to confront He Liuhun, it is a wise move."

Dugu heard the great joy of hearing the words as he wished, and immediately met with the envoy of Hu Sichun again, saying that he was willing to divide troops with Hu Sichun to attack and occupy Nanjing and Dongjing, and from then on, the three Jing would protect each other and fight against Gao Huan.

Hu Sichun received the messenger's reply, and did not doubt Dugu's sincerity in cooperating as he wished, it was precisely because he valued his Wuchuan background and his small relationship with He Bayue that he chose to cooperate with him.

How could the dignified Dugu Lang not know the truth of cold lips and teeth.

The two people with the same interests don't even need to swear an oath, Hu Sichun painted a gourd in the same way, and no one would have thought that in the middle of the dignified service, Hu Sichun, the first hero of Gao Huan's downfall of the Zhu clan, would actually rebel and easily attack and occupy Dongjingzhou.

Hu Sichun appointed himself as the assassin of Jingzhou and the assassin of Eastern Jingzhou, and while recruiting troops and horses, he sent an envoy to Xiao Liang to surrender.

After the death of Er Zhurong, he was once attached to Yuanyue, the king of Runan, and was ready to defect to Nanliang with him.

It's just that later I heard that Erzhu Zhao captured Luoyang, so he returned to the arms of Erzhu.

And the other force of Sanjing mutual protection, although Dugu Ruwish has gone through some twists and turns, but after all, under the orders of Yang Zhong and other generals, he captured Nanjingzhou, and while keeping the governor of Jingzhou Fangcheng and the county guard of Nanxiang, he served as the assassin of Nanjingzhou.

In addition to recruiting troops and horses, on the one hand, he sent people to Guanxi to contact He Bayue, and on the other hand, he sent Yang Zhong as an envoy base to join Xiao Liang.

Yang Zhong lived in Nanliang for five years and had a wide network of contacts, so he was the best choice for the envoy.

Xiao Liang nominally won the land of Yuan and Wei Sanjing, and even Xiao Bodhisattva was moved by his mortal heart, and hurriedly ordered Chen Qingzhi to move to Jiangling in response.

When Hu Sichun and Dugu's wishful Sanjing mutual protection was in full swing, Gao Huan, who was far away in Jinyang, never went south.

The monarch eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, and there were several civil strife in the Northern Wei Dynasty, all of which were just a small force to the north to scratch the prize, what threat is there to such a force.

For Gao Huan, his great enemy was only about Xihe Bayue from beginning to end.

He Bayue's accumulation of power in Kansai has already attracted his attention, and the submission of the head of Hexi Fei has also made Gao Huan feel like a fish in his throat.

The beating of Fei Yetou is already imminent, and even ahead of Liu Lisheng's forces that block the gap between Jinyang and Kansai.

Gao Huan focused his attention on Fei Yetou, who had recently joined He Bayue, and was Yili.

After the two good brothers Gao Huan and Er Zhuzhao joined forces to defeat the Sudouling Bu Domain, Sudouling Yili became the new leader of the Sudouling tribe.

Because of this kind of friendship, it is understandable that Yili chose to cling to Hebatyue.

Gao Huan thought that it was enough to have Hou Jing and Gao Aocao in the land of Sanjing, and he even wrote to warn Gao Cheng to be a good commander in name and not to command indiscriminately.

Of course, that's all for later.

Turn the time back to the day after Gao Cheng received Gao Huan's letter.

In the second year of Taichang, the third day of February.

Gao Cheng went out of the north gate of Luoyang to see him off, and said goodbye to Chen Yuankang, each with tears in his eyes.

Chen Yuankang was born with developed tear ducts, and Gao Cheng has worked hard to polish his acting skills in the past three years.

Even the senior cadres on the side were sad for the deep love between the two masters and servants.

Gao Qian was allowed to remove the title of servant by Yuan Qian because of Ding Wei, and he was idle in the position of Sikong.

So Gao Huan transferred Gao Qian to Jinyang to listen to it.

In fact, Gao Aocao's inclusion under Gao Cheng is the deeper reason.

King Xiao Gao was suspicious, how could King Zhen Gao let the Gao brothers reunite in Luoyang.

After sending Gao Qian and Chen Yuankang away, Gao Cheng packed up his mood and returned to Shangshu Province.

After making a decision to send the slaves of the Zongwang family who participated in the rebellion to the mining area for labor reform, Gao Cheng ushered in a new servant, Sima Ziru.

and his good brother, Sima Elimination.

Needless to say, the relationship with Sima is difficult, after all, it is for himself, and he is an unjust brother who was hung up and beaten by Sima Ziru.

But the government and the opposition were not friendly to Sima Ziru, and they called Gao Cheng, Li Yuanzhong, Gao Longzhi, and Sima Ziru the four nobles of Luoyang.

Gao Cheng laughed at this.

But Li Yuanzhong, Gao Longzhi, and Sima Ziru did not dare to be tied with Gao Cheng, Luoyang was still restless in the past, and it was the end of Yuan Yan's death after all, not to mention the four nobles and auxiliary governments.

I don't know who solved the problem for the three of them, and a secret service agency who did not want to be named spread nursery rhymes everywhere:

"Luoyang is four expensive, Gao Cheng is the most expensive; Kyoto is the most virtuous, and Zihui is the most virtuous..."

Let the respect and humility between the four people be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people from now on.

Gao Cheng was very annoyed by this: How did this Wangsi control the public opinion in Luoyang! How can you let nursery rhymes spread around!

He strictly ordered Zhao Yanshen of the Quan Listening Division to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Zhao Yanshen investigated hard to no avail, and was reprimanded by Gao Cheng, and soon, Zhao Yanshen completely replaced Chen Yuankang and was promoted to Sima of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Gao Cheng also turned to devote himself to the construction of the Gyeonggi garrison, and he constantly sent envoys to select athletes from the soldiers of Henan Prefecture.

Gao Aocao, Yaoxiong and others are organizing the Qu family to move to Luoyang in Hebei, and Hou Jing, the assassin of Jeju, has also received Gao Huan's order.

"I am a big husband, how can I be driven by a humble child!"

Hou Jing handed over the paperwork and complained to his confidant strategist, Wang Wei, the head of the mansion.

Wang Wei looked at the letter paper and said with a smile:

"Although King Gao transferred the Duke of Ming to the west and cooperated with the prince to attack Hu Sichun, he did not say that he would let the Duke of Ming and the prince join forces.

Although Hou Jing is a martial artist born in Huaishuo Town, his brain is not dull.

At the beginning, under the command of Er Zhurong, Hou Jing asked Murong Shaozong for advice on the art of war, but it didn't take long for Murong Shaozong to ask shamelessly.

What Wang Wei said was profound, and Hou Jing understood it at a glance, it was nothing more than Gao Huan was afraid that Gao Cheng would mess up the field.

Gao Cheng's command includes Murong Shaozong, Gao Aocao, Yaoxiong and others, assisted by so many famous generals, Gao Huan is still not worried about his son, and Hou Jing despises Gao Cheng more and more.

Hou Jingchao Wang Wei laughed in a low voice:

"King Gao is here, I don't dare to be different, if King Gao has an accident, I can't condescend to the command of Xianbei Xiaoer."

Having said that, Hou Jing still ordered his subordinates to prepare to go west.

As he himself said, as long as Gao Huan is still there, he doesn't dare to have different intentions.

And He Bayue, who was far away in Kansai, has not been idle, and while he has subdued all the forces in Guanlong, he hurriedly met with Yuwentai, who had returned from exile.

"When Er Zhurong went south to Luoyang, he was the first to be persuaded by Gao Huan, he would never be willing to be subordinate, and the reason why he still serves the Wei family is just because he is afraid of the prestige of Ming Gong.

"Now that the Ming Duke has subdued the heads of the Guanlong states and Fei Ye, the momentum is great, and the recalcitrant people who resist are only a few people such as Lingzhou Thorn Shi Cao Ni, Weizhou Thorn Shi Ke Zhu Hunyuan, etc., but they are not to be afraid, what the Ming Duke really wants to watch out for is Qinzhou Thorn Shi Hou Mo Chen Yue."

At the beginning, He Bayue was ordered to quell the Guanlong rebellion, worried that Gongda would be suspicious, so he asked Fenger Zhu Tianguang to be the commander.

At the same time as Er Zhurong's permission, he granted He Bayue the governor of the left chamber and Hou Mo Chen Yue the governor of the right chamber to jointly assist Er Zhu Tianguang.

After Erzhu Tianguang went east, He Batyue and Hou Mo Chen Yue jointly strangled the forces of the Guanxi Erzhu clan, He Batyue was given the title of Guanxi Daxingtai, and Hou Mo Chen Yue was ordered to supervise the military of Longyou.

He Bayue's subjugation of the states of Longyou undoubtedly infringed on the vital interests of Hou Mo Chen Yue, the second largest force in Guanlong.

Perhaps Gao Huan's original appointment was to create contradictions for this close comrade-in-arms, giving He Bayue the name of commanding Guan Long, but giving Hou Mo Chen Yuelong the military power of the right states.

Yuwentai continued to analyze for He Bayue:

"Hou Mo Chen Yue is just a mediocre person, and being able to get this high position is just a fluke at the right time.

"Duke Ming only needs to summon Cao Ni and Zhu Hunyuan to meet with the order of the Kansai Daxingtai, if the two can't shirk it, Duke Ming can order Hou Mo and Chen Yue to conquer Xia and Wei Erzhou.

"If Hou Mo Chen Yue goes, they can consume each other, if they don't, Ming Gong also has a chance to solve the problem of elbows and armpits.

"At that time, the Duke of Ming will be based on the land of Guanlong and set up another central government, which will be enough to achieve the merits of Qi Huan and Jin Wen."

He Bayue was overjoyed when he heard this, as Yu Wentai said, he had never looked down on Hou Mo Chen Yue, and pacifying Guan Long was all his own strength, Hou Mo Chen Yue was just a pawn used by Er Zhurong to balance himself.

In his heart, it was only a matter of time before Guan Long was completely resigned, and he asked Yu Wentai eagerly:

"Who can inherit the unification of the black otter?"

"On my way back to Guanxi, I met Pingyang Wang Yuanxiu and others who had fled, and entered the customs with them, and their families were all captured by Gao Huan's generals. Those who seek great things are valued in one heart, and Yuan Xiu and Gao Huan are as deep as the sea, and they should inherit the unification. ”

He Bayue couldn't wait to order someone to bring Yuan Xiu and examine it personally.

Yuan Xiu also started his second interview with the Son of Heaven.

With tears in his eyes, he complained that he had been bullied by Gao Cheng in Luoyang many times, and because he was afraid of Gao Cheng's connection, he defected to Guanzhong.

With his acting skills that once deceived Gao Huan, how could He Batyue see through what this person was thinking.

After He Bayue appeased, he ordered someone to properly settle Yuan Xiu, on the one hand, he was ready to marry another wife and concubine for Yuan Xiu, and on the other hand, he also began to implement Yuwentai's strategy.

Ordered Lingzhou Assassin Shi Cao Ni and Weizhou Assassin Shi Ke Zhu Hunyuan to go to Chang'an to report their posts.

At the same time, Yuwentai was promoted to the history of Xiazhou Assassin.

Just when He Batyue was ambitious, his second brother He Batsheng was also appointed, packed his bags, and prepared to lead his troops to Southern Yanzhou to serve as the assassin to defend against Southern Liang.

For Gao Huan's arrangement, He Batsheng was overjoyed.

After Hu Sichun rebelled, because he had conspired with him, He Batsheng has been dragging and uneasy.

Now that he has been released as a thorn in history, he is relieved.
