In the city of Xiangyang.

"Father, is he well? How is the concubine? Cheng is good, Cheng Bai bows his head, and sees the letter like a meeting.

"Since I was separated from my father, I miss it day and night, and my love is deep, and I can't cry every time."

Gao Cheng, who was looking at the north from afar, suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to Yang Su, who was writing at the desk:

"Zunhiko! The love is deep, and if you can't cry, don't write it. ”

An old drama bone, an excellent young actor, there is no need to complete this set, it is estimated that Gao Huan will also respond to it.

Yang Yu hurriedly changed the paper and re-wrote the letter.

Gao Cheng continued to deliberate:

"Since Cheng led his troops south, for nearly a month, Cheng acted cautiously and cautiously, walking on thin ice, for fear of damaging his father's prestige.

Relying on the teachings of his father, the three armies fought their lives, Cheng repelled Hu Sichun, occupied Xinye, and crossed the river to confront Chen Qingzhi under the city of Xiangyang.

"Chen Qing's soldiers are no less than 30,000, and the people that Cheng can rely on are only 11,000 people in the trilogy of arrogant Cao, Yao Xiuwu, and Duan Xiaoxian."

Yang was bold enough to interrupt:

"Shizi, in fact, exaggerating the achievements will help the Shizi to convince the people's hearts, as long as the messenger is ordered to secretly speak to King Gao, King Gao will not blame him."

Gao Cheng said disdainfully:

"One is one, two is two, how can I, Gao Zihui, be a person who falsely reports his military exploits! You keep writing. ”

After all, Gao Cheng continued to narrate the process of the battle of Xiangyang, and on the whole, it was quite true, but when describing himself in danger, he used more modified words when he reorganized the army, and at the same time focused more on his psychological activities at that time.

“...... If there is another incident in Xiangyang, I am afraid that I will repeat Cui Yanbo's old mistakes, and Cheng thinks that military discipline should come first.

"In the land of Henan, there are 100,000 soldiers from prefectures and counties, and you can't fake your hands to outsiders, so you can invite your father and prince to Henan to rectify the armies."

Gao Cheng paused, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, it was impossible for Gao Huan to leave the Jinyang army and come to Henan.

It is also impossible to transfer the troops of Henan to Jinyang, resulting in the emptiness of Henan.

After thinking about it, is there a more suitable candidate than Gao Cheng in Henan?

With an army of 200,000 Xianbei in hand, would Gao Huan still be afraid that the heir would lose his mind and rebel with 100,000 Henan soldiers?

Gao Cheng is so thoughtful for his father, and he has a firm grasp of the word 'filial piety'.

Gathering his mind, Gao Cheng continued:

"Now Hu Sichun and Dugu are trapped in Nanjingzhou as they wish, and they will soon be destroyed, and the three jings will be peaceful, and there should be capable ministers to guard them.

"Shi Yangsu, the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, is diligent and responsible, good at governance, has the talent of Zaifu, and the battle of Hanling can be known to be brave.

"In order to govern the country, we must not be aware of the people's feelings, but if we don't know the people's sufferings in Lizhou County, we will ask Ren Yang Su to be the assassin of East Jingzhou and govern the place for my father."

Yang Su stopped writing when he heard this, and felt that Gao Cheng had promised to serve as Zaifu, Yang Su bowed to the ground, tears flowed, and his forehead banged:

"The son of the world is trustworthy, and it is difficult to repay him if he dies."

Gao Cheng hurriedly helped him up:

"Between me and Zunyan, why do you need to see each other like this."

Thinking about it carefully, with his kindness to Yang Su, he was afraid that if he met an assassin in the future, Yang Su would have to think about it and run away again.

Gao Cheng asked Yang Yu to continue writing and said:

"Xiangyang, control the Han River, can not be lost, now Chen Qingzhi moved to Jiangling, and his father should be guarded by a general to resist the invasion of the Liang people.

"Yuan Zigong, a good general, has been competing with the Liang people for a long time, and has not seen defeat, so Cheng asked his father to let him be the assassin of Jingzhou to reject Chen Qingzhi."

"Please move the town of Hou Jing to Nanjingzhou, and Yuanzigong will be each other's horns, so that the land of Sanjing, no matter how trouble-free, please think about it and worry about it.

"Cheng Baibai is the head, I wish my father will be ten thousand years old."

In this way, a war report full of selfish desires, or a letter from home, was sent north by the messenger to Jinyang.

He didn't want all of the three Jings, he handed over Dongjingzhou and Jingzhou to his own people, and then threw Nanjingzhou to Hou Jing to help defend against Nanliang, it was a plan.

King Xiao Gao has always had clear grievances.

In the second year of Taichang, on March 11, Yaoxiong had already returned to his division and joined Gao Cheng outside the city of Anchang (now 30 miles south of Zaoyang, Hubei).

Although Chen Qingzhi relieved the siege of Baigoudui, he was worried that Jiangling would be lost, so after dividing his troops to stay in Baigoudui, he hurriedly returned to Jiangling and no longer looked north.

And Gao Huan also got Gao Cheng's letter.

He saw that he believed it perfectly, and said in his heart:

'Ah Hui has a lot of appetite! The land of the three thorns will swallow two. ’

But I don't care, Henan will never be Gao Huan's core interests.

Historically, Yuan Xiu was even able to grant He Basheng the military of the seven prefectures of Sanjing, Eryu, Yang, and Ying, as foreign aid.

He smiled at his cronies present:

"A letter from Ahui, he defeated Chen Qingzhi's troops in Xiangyang, and the Liang people fled in panic, and now Hu Sichun and Dugu are like trapped beasts as they wish, and when they die in Anchang, Sanjing will be decided!"

Cronies rush to congratulate:

"The son inherits his father's strategy and has the posture of a famous general."

"Congratulations to the king for his additional help."

Gao Huan waved his hand and said:

"It's just a fluke, don't you have to brag about it, let Ah Hui know, I'm afraid of arrogance."

He is modest in his mouth, but he does not hide the smug look on his face.

"Sanjing will be decided soon, when it is time to select talents, Ah Hui will recommend Hou Jing, Yang Su, and Yuan Zigong for me to divide the town, what do you think?"

Everyone said one after another, but with high joy.

After Gao Huan thought for a moment, he instructed Chen Yuankang:

"Changyou, prepare a table for me, play the Son of Heaven, Jingzhou Governor moved from Xinye to Xiangyang, ordered Hou Jing to move to Jingzhou, Yuan Zigong guarded Anchang for the Southern Jingzhou Thorn History, and Yang Yu was the East Jingzhou Thorn History."

Chen Yuankang received the order.

Gao Huan generally agreed to Gao Cheng's arrangement, but slightly modified it, swapping Hou Jing and Yuan Zigong.

handed over the more important Jingzhou to Hou Jing.

Gao Huan also had a calculation on the issue of state and county soldiers that Gao Cheng said, and when he completely pacified Sanjing, he was given the post of Henan Dao Daxingtai, so that Gao Cheng could take the opportunity to purge all armies.

Gao Huan's calculations, Gao Cheng didn't know for the time being, he was mobilizing the people to dig tunnels under Anchang City.

Jin Yang did not urge, Gao Cheng was not in a hurry to capture Anchang, so he did not choose to attack the city with ants, but learned Gao Huan to besiege Yecheng, planning to hollow out the soil under the city wall, and then use fire to burn the wooden pillars that support the tunnel, so that the Anchang city wall collapsed.

Anyway, he was going to throw it to Hou Jing in Nanjingzhou, and what did he have to do with whether the city defense was strong or not.

Hu Sichun and Dugu on the city wall were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, they led the army out of the city several times to fight, but many of the troops were newly recruited, and it was difficult to compete with the elite under Gao Cheng.

Several times he was taken advantage of by Gao Ao Cao and others to rush into the city.

In the second year of Taichang, March 27.

"Pass me the order! Set! ”

Gao Cheng gave an order, and a fire broke out in the tunnel.

The wooden stakes supporting the tunnels were burned off, and the Anchang city wall collapsed with a bang.

"Proud Cao! I order you to be the vanguard and enter the city along the gap in the wall, Yaoxiong! You are the successor, follow closely! ”

Gao Ao Cao and Yao Xiong immediately agreed and led the charge.

Gao Cheng led the troops with Duan Shao and Murong Shaozong, and the army went straight to Anchang.
