Gao Huan did not give Gao Cheng and Hou Jing instructions to join forces, but Xiao Gao Wang still planned to go hand in hand with Hou Jing.

As the commander of the expedition to Sanjing, this battle is related to his reputation in the army, and Gao Cheng must of course be cautious.

Leave 10,000 people in Luoyang, and all of them will be handed over to Hu Luguang to train troops while defending Guanxi.

The remaining Gyeonggi army, Gao Aocao, Duan Shao, Yaoxiong, and Murong Shaozong, with a total of 20,000 troops, were incorporated into the expedition sequence.

Among them, there are indeed 9,000 atmosphere groups from various prefectures and counties in Henan, but how much combat effectiveness can the people recruited by Hu Sichun and others in Sanjing hastily recruit.

What's more, there are 10,000 soldiers under Hou Jing's command, if this wave of flying dragon riding faces can lose......

That must be Hou Jing's fault! I had to cut him down and sacrifice the flag.

On the night of the eighth day of the second lunar month, Gao Cheng was restless.

Tomorrow was the day of the expedition, and he was getting more and more nervous.

Although he went to the battlefield with Gao Huan in Leping and Hanling, this was the first time he led the army as a coach after all.

Even pillowed on Er Zhu Ying'e's lap could not calm Gao Cheng's breathing.

"Let the concubine go south with her husband."

The skin on Erzhu Ying'e's legs felt the heavy snort of the little man, and she understood the importance of the Battle of Sanjing to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng was moved, but still refused:

"Someone in the house has to be in charge."

This sentence warmed Er Zhu Ying'e's heart.

The two snuggled for a long time, but Gao Cheng was still unsettled, and he went out and ordered someone to call Gao Jishi over.

Under the escort of Gao Ji, he went to the camp again.

There was no imaginary scene of the guards blocking him, which made Gao Cheng look dazed, but whoever told him to go in and out of the camp often had a familiar face.

If there is the military discipline of Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Battalion, Gao Cheng will dare to wrestle with He Liuhun.

Fortunately, the garrison of the camp at night was still not relaxed, and every few steps you could meet a group of patrolling guards, and there were many sentry posts before entering the camp.

This is still the case in Luoyang, and there is no need to worry about being attacked and stolen at night when going south.

Soon, Gao Aocao and other generals received the advice of the soldiers and came to meet each other.

Gao Cheng encouraged a few words, then stopped disturbing everyone's rest, and led Gao Jishi back to the city with peace of mind.

On the ninth day of the first month of February, before dawn, Erzhu Ying'e, Xiao Erzhu, and Yuan Mingyue sent each other outside the house, and what they should say was said yesterday.

After saying goodbye, he didn't go far, and Gao Cheng saw Yuan Zhonghua, who was hiding in the alley and looking from afar.

Gao Jishi confirmed that Yuan Zhonghua was the only one in the alley, and Gao Cheng walked up and asked:

"Why are you hiding here?"

"I want to send you."

Yuan Zhonghua looked down at his toes.

Gao Cheng felt something, stroked her black hair and said:

"It's been a hard time for you."

Yuan Zhonghua's nose was sour, and he couldn't help crying.

Since that day, Yuan Zhonghua begged to see him in the hope of interceding for his father, but was rejected by Gao Cheng, and the two never crossed paths again.

Gao Cheng was busy with military and political affairs, and when he returned to the mansion, he could still wander among the three beautiful concubines, leaving Yuan Zhonghua behind.

And Yuan Zhonghua, a little girl, has a hard time.

Gao Cheng hugged Yuan Zhonghua in his arms, pressed his chin against her forehead, and said in a low voice:

"King Qinghe rebelled, if I don't kill him, everyone will follow suit, and it will be difficult for me to even protect myself.

"Don't blame me, no one can save him, he can only save the Qinghe Mansion if he dies."

Yuan Zhonghua hid in Gao Cheng's arms and sobbed:

"I'm just afraid you don't want me anymore."

Wiping away tears, she continued:

"I persuaded Grandpa, but I couldn't persuade you, before I went to you that day, I knew the result in my heart, but I didn't want to embarrass you."

Gao Cheng hugged her tightly:

"I know, I haven't seen you during this time, just because I don't know how to face it, you are my wife, how can I not want you."

The two hugged for a while, and Gao Cheng said softly:

"If you can't stay in Qinghe Palace, you will move home."

This family word made Yuan Zhonghua's heart swell up with sweetness.

"Mother and brother and sister are both sensible people, Grandpa wants to kill you, but you let our family go, they don't resent you, and they won't be angry with me."

Can't delay any longer, Gao Cheng let go of Yuan Zhonghua, wiped a handful of tears for her, and said:

"The gate of the Bohai Mansion is always open for you, you have to take care of yourself in Luoyang, don't sneak out alone in the future, go back quickly."

After that, Gao Cheng ordered two guards to send Yuan Zhonghua back, and in her frequent retrospective, Gao Cheng led the guards to the camp outside the city.

Outside the camp, Gao Cheng confirmed to Yang Yu again:

"Zunyan, have you prepared all the food and grass needed for this southern conscription?"

Yang Su smiled and said with relief:

"Governor, this is the third time you have asked, not only the grain and grass, but also the servants in the name of Shangshu Province to the prefectures and counties along the way to levy the people's husbands, and the local assassins, county guards, and even the grain and straw needed by the people have been prepared."

Gao Cheng put his mind at ease, the three armies did not move, the grain and grass went first, and he did have some gains and losses.

The first time I went on an expedition, I didn't want to end up in a situation where I was short of food and grass and ate the people.

In addition to carrying and filling the ravines, the people also have a use for spare grain.

Of course, these are only possible in extreme cases, looking ahead, there is Cheng Yu making human jerky, and looking back, there is also Qin Zongquan's cannibalistic army.

Gao Cheng believed that Kanto would not reach such appalling levels under his rule.

Entering the camp, Gao Aocao, Duan Shao, Yaoxiong, and Murong Shaozong had already led their troops to line up under the high platform, waiting for Gao Cheng to give the command.

Hu Luguang, who was ordered to stay in Luoyang to train his troops, also rushed over.

Today is a special day and he doesn't want to miss it.

Gao Cheng walked onto the high platform under the gaze of 20,000 eyes.

He had seen Gao Huan's speech many times before sending troops, and when it was his turn, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly.

"Me! Gyeonggi Metropolitan Governor! Gao Cheng! Gao Zihui! ”

After shouting loudly, Gao Cheng felt relaxed.

He continued to shout:

"Maybe some of you despise me for being young, but I need to let you know! Gao Zihui participated in military and political planning at the age of ten, and at the age of eleven, he governed the place for his father, which was very effective, and now he is thirteen years old, I want to take you south to fight for wealth.

"You just have to fight in front, I, Gao Zihui, as the prince of Bohai, swear to you, the disabled or the dead, a lot of pensions, all in the hands of you and other family members, if anyone dares to be greedy, the whole army will kill them.

"If you have children, your children will be raised by my Gao clan and taught to become talents.

"Lonely and widowed, I will choose heirs for you from your clan and continue the bloodline.

"Brave and fierce, I will not ignore your merits.

"I will not forgive you and other sins.

"Merit will be rewarded, and excessance will be punished, I, Gao Zihui, promise you the word fairness today.

"If you violate this oath, the clan will be destroyed, and your descendants will be cut off!"

For a while, the whole army responded, and under the leadership of the generals and colonels that Gao Cheng had already arranged, they shouted:

"Rich and noble descendants, this battle begins!"
