Gao Cheng's anger was not without reason.

'Famous teachers and generals don't work for themselves, and thousands of troops avoid white robes. ’

Chen Qingzhi's name is too loud, which makes the fledgling little high king have a sense of Zhao Kuo's déjà vu in the face of Bai Qi.

For the sake of safety, he took it upon himself to order someone to recruit Hou Jing and join forces.

That's it! If you don't come, you won't come, even if my Gao Zihui is not as good as Zhao Kuo, but you Chen Qingzhi is not in vain!

Gao Cheng immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the affairs of the handsome tent, and swept over the faces of the heroes under his command, and King Xiao Gao instantly had confidence:

The pioneer general Gao Aocao killed the enemy in battle, and his courage was far better than Chen Qingzhi.

There is more Yaoxiong, wisdom and bravery.

Murong Shaozong presided over the Chinese army for me.

Even Duan Shao, one of the future Three Pillars of Northern Qi, can only be willing to be a foil.

Chen Qingzhi, Hu Sichun, Dugu Xin, the three of you go together, my Gao Zihui is not afraid!

Xiao Gao Wang dog fights the human power, and his heart is naturally stable, imagining that the generals under his command will work together to resist the enemy, Gao Cheng coughed lightly, and asked everyone:

"Chen Qingzhi sent troops from Jiangling and led 10,000 or 20,000 people to the north, how do the generals think I should deal with it?"

Gao Aocao said contemptuously:

"There is no famous general in Henan, so he made the shaft famous, and Ao Cao is willing to lead the headquarters to break it for the metropolitan governor."

Although his words were not nutritious, he was loyal and courageous, and Gao Cheng praised it when he heard it.

He could understand that these generals were not convinced by Chen Qingzhi.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Northern Wei army went to Hebei and Qingzhou to pacify Ge Rong and Xing Gao respectively, they drove all the way in, occupied the capital Luoyang, and achieved immortal fame.

Such an opportunity, how can it not make them red-eyed.

Crossing the river for 3,000 miles, the road was smooth and unimpeded, and there was no expense, only more than 500 people were killed and wounded under Xingyang City, and 300 soldiers of the Liang army were so angry that they asked Yuan Hao to kill Yang Yu, the guard general of Xingyang.

Under the persuasion of Yuan Hao, the Liang army only executed all 37 generals under Yang Yu's command, and ate their hearts, but let Yang Yu go.

As for the 300,000 army of Yuan Tianmu after breaking through Xingyang, this number is just like Qiu Daqian's 70,000 army on the way to the Northern Expedition.

But he must have fought a battle with Yuan Tianmu and won a big victory, otherwise Yuan Ziyou, Er Zhu Shilong and others would not have fled in panic and defected to Er Zhurong.

Gao Cheng believes that Chen Qingzhi's most admirable thing is his courage to cross the river north with 7,000 people and go deep alone.

"Chen Qingzhi, a famous general in the world, General Gao should not be despised lightly."

While praising Gao Aocao's loyalty and bravery, Gao Cheng still persuaded him.

Gao Aocao snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Murong Shaozong stood up at this time and said:

"Why don't the metropolitan governors go to Xinye City, and when Chen Qingzhi's labor division goes north, when the soldiers are tired, they can either cover up and kill halfway, or they can wait for their work, and fight him head-on, which is the best choice."

Gao Cheng nodded when he heard this, sure enough, it was not a general like Gao Aocao, who was charging in battle, and the idea of this encirclement point to send reinforcements was very good.

But Gao Cheng was not in a hurry to make a decision, he looked at Yao Xiong, hoping to hear the opinion of the general who would repel Chen Qingzhi twice in the future.

Yaoxiong noticed Gao Cheng's gaze, and he pondered for a moment and said:

"The last general thinks that Murong Changshi said that he has set up an ambush halfway, and I am afraid it will be difficult to see results."

In an instant, the attention of everyone in the audience was attracted to the past.

Gao Cheng asked:

"Why?"

Yaoxiong explains:

"We are waiting to go south, we are in the enemy's territory, Jingzhou is flat, how can the army go deep into Jingzhou and set up an ambush without being detected."

Gao Cheng heard what he said, and asked him what his plan was.

Yaoxiong continued:

"There will be two strategies in the end, one of which is as Murong Changshi said, to wait for work with ease, and to win with courage with an upright teacher."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Aocao couldn't help but praise:

"That's exactly how it should be!"

Gao Cheng encouraged:

"General Yao, please continue."

"Second, the last general thought that the governor of Dadu could order Hou Jing to make a detour south and attack the northern town of Baigoudui (now Zhengyang, Henan) in the north of the Liang people.

Yaoxiong offered advice.

Gao Cheng knew in his heart that in history, Chen Qingzhi besieged Nanjingzhou, Yaoxiong besieged Wei to save Zhao Zhice, and stormed Bai Goudui, prompting Chen Qingzhi to return to the division, but the rescue was too late, and Bai Goudui was captured by Yaoxiong.

This strategy is extremely feasible, and Gao Cheng immediately ordered that early tomorrow morning, the whole army will go south to besiege Xinye, so as to wait for work.

Then he ordered someone to send a message to Hou Jing, ordering him to abandon Dongjingzhou and attack Baigoudui instead.

If Chen Qingzhi returns to the teacher, Gao Cheng can still cover up and kill behind, and he will get some grain and grass for nothing.

The crowd dispersed, and only Duan Shao remained in the tent.

"Why does the Governor despise me?"

Gao Cheng scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly:

"Filial piety, don't blame, it's because I'm in a hurry to break the enemy, so I ignore you."

He raised his feet again, put his arm around Duan Shao's shoulders and asked:

"Can filial piety have a plan to teach me?"

Duan Shao said:

"What General Yao said is very good, and I think so."

Gao Cheng's smile froze on his face: Then what are you complaining about.

Perhaps guessing what Gao Cheng was thinking, Duan Shao explained:

"Now that the four generals in the army are leading the soldiers, I am the youngest, no matter whether there is a plan or not, Zihui should ask me for my opinion, otherwise others will definitely despise me."

Gao Cheng suddenly heard this, bowed to Duan Shao seriously, and said:

"Xiaoxian taught me another lesson today."

Duan Shao turned sideways, unwilling to accept the salute:

"Zihui and I are cousins and brothers, of course I have to fill in the gaps for you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the friendship that accompanied each other day and night was always remembered in their hearts.

In the second year of Taichang (533 AD), February 17.

Gao Cheng led the army south to Xinye City, but to his surprise, Hu Sichun actually decisively abandoned Xinye and crossed the river to the south.

This makes it difficult for Murong Shaozong and Yaoxiong to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

Gao Cheng was on the north bank of the Han River, and when he was hesitating whether to cross the river, the messenger sent to Hou Jing's place came with a report.

Hou Jingyan said that he was in a hurry to fight with Dugu as he wished, and he had no time to withdraw to attack Bai Goudui.

This really made Gao Cheng understand what it means that the plan can't catch up with the changes.

He made another note to Hou Jing in his heart, and Gao Cheng didn't want to look at Jiang Xing anymore, so he ordered Murong Shaozong to lead his troops to search for ships everywhere.

Finally, on February 21, he crossed the Han River and entered the city of Xiangyang, which was guarded by Hu Sichun.

Gao Cheng set up camp more than 20 miles north of Xiangyang City, and sent sentinels to search for the whereabouts of Chen Qingzhi's army.

On February 23, Chen Qingzhi led 15,000 troops to the city of Xiangyang and went down to the wall.

A spring rain that lasted for many days interrupted Gao Cheng's plan to wait for work, and the two sides stood in camp and were safe for the time being.

It was raining heavily outside the tent, and Gao Cheng gathered the generals to discuss matters, but Yaoxiong was the only one missing in the tent, and the army crossing the river did not have Yaoxiong's 3,000 troops and 1,000 cavalry under Duan Shao's command.

Gao Cheng asked everyone:

"I want to stick to the camp, what do you think?"

Gao Aocao looked displeased, and turned his head and didn't want to speak.

Murong Shaozong and Duan Shao agreed.
