Chapter 106: East-West Choice
When He Bayue learned that Hou Mo Chen Yue agreed to send troops to attack Cao Ni, he couldn't believe it for a while, and it was not until he confirmed that Hou Mo Chen Yue's troops were out of Longshan, so he hurriedly gathered his troops to prepare to join Hou Mo Chen Yue.
can make Hou Mo Chen Yue and Cao Ni consume each other, there is nothing more in line with He Bayue's heart.
When Xiazhou assassin Shi Yuwentai learned the news, he wrote to advise, worried that there was fraud in it.
He Batyue was noncommittal, he had never looked down on Hou Mo Chen Yue, this person was able to rise to power, but he borrowed his east wind.
The two were divided into left and right chambers, and the governor of the capital, Sui Er Zhu Tianguang, entered Guanlong to quell the chaos, but pacifying Guanlong was the work of He Bayue alone.
The annihilation of the Guanzhong Erzhu clan was also the result of He Bayue's division of his subordinates and coercing Hou Mo Chen Yue, which made this person take a lot of credit.
Not only can he not look down on Hou Mo Chen Yue's ability, but he can easily divide Hou Mo Chen Yue's subordinates, and He Bayue's contempt is understandable.
Hou Mo Chen Yue came out of Longshan, just like He Batsheng to Gao Cheng, just a plaything in his palm.
As Gao Huan thought, in He Batyue's view, 'The heroes of the world, only Yue and Huan'er.' ’
It's no wonder that Gao Huan and He Batyue look down on Xiao Liang.
Three major turmoil in the north, what is Xiao Yan doing?
In 528, after the Er Zhurong Heyin Rebellion, the Northern Wei Dynasty faced a complete collapse of Henan, the Gerong Uprising in Hebei, the Xinggao Uprising in Qingqi, and the prosperity of the Guanlong Righteous Army.
Xiao Yan ordered Chen Qingzhi to lead 7,000 people to escort Yuan Hao north to claim the emperor.
In 530, Er Zhurong died at the hands of Yuan Ziyou, and the generals under Er Zhurong were panicked, and Yuan Ziyou raised troops in Luoyang to fight to the death with the Erzhu clan.
Xiao Yan sent Fan Zun, the general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, to escort Yuan Yue north to become emperor.
In 532, Gao Huan was in Xindu Jianyi, turned against the Erzhu clan, and fought a decisive battle in Hebei.
Xiao Yan also asked the Northern Wei Dynasty to send Yang Kan to escort the Yuan monks to the north to claim the emperor.
Three major upheavals, no matter which one of them is met by Huan Wen and Liu Yu, they must say 'Such a good opportunity is hard to find in the ages.' Then he went on a northern expedition with his army.
Xiao Yan, who can eat fasting and chant Buddha, has a bodhisattva heart, and he will never take advantage of people's danger.
With such a monarch, who would put Nanliang in his eyes.
Even King Xiao Gao despised him.
At this time in Luoyang, Gao Cheng was still in the dark about Gao Huan's conspiracy, Zhai Song took the initiative to ask Ying to instigate the relationship between Hou Mo Chenyue and He Bayue, Gao Huan just had the mentality of giving it a try.
The Gao family father and son played with He Batsheng because He Batsheng was in his own hands, and he could use various methods to force him to act according to his own thoughts.
But He Bayue is in Guanxi, out of the control of the Gao family, the accident in the middle is not something Gao Huan could have predicted, for him, Zhai Song's trip, the best result is only to provoke Guan Longhuo and weaken the opponent's strength.
If it was only because Zhai Song invited Ying to enter the customs and instigated, it was determined that He Bayue was in danger, then it was not only Xiao Gaowang who crossed over, but also He Liuhun.
Jinyang and Luoyang are not far apart, but they are definitely not close, and Gao Huan will not tell everything, that is what Gao Cheng should do to Gao Huan.
Gao Huan didn't know, but Gao Cheng remembered clearly that in history, the first month of next year would be the death date of He Batyue.
But Gao Cheng was not misled by historical knowledge, he clearly understood that because he suggested that Gao Huan support Yuan Shanjian, Yuan Xiu could not ascend to the throne, and history had completely changed.
He Batsheng did not obtain the military of Sanjing and other seven states, and he was driven to Nanliang early.
And He Bayue did not have the title of governor of the military of the twenty states in Guanzhong, and only ruled Guanzhong as the Daxingtai of Guanxi.
Now, Gao Huan, as he did in history, has begun to abolish Xingtai and purge local forces, which will undoubtedly intensify the contradictions in Kansai in advance, and it is impossible for He Bayue to die at the hands of Hou Mo Chen Yue in the first month of next year.
If He Batyue does not die and can hinder Yuwentai's ascension, there is no doubt that Gao Cheng is happy to see it, which is why he is willing to assist Gao Huan in promoting the abolition of Xingtai.
He Batyue is an excellent commander, while Yuwentai is undoubtedly a hero.
But as cautious as Gao Cheng, he still made two preparations, in case, in case Hou Mo Chen Yue succeeded again.
This is a great opportunity to unify the North!
For this reason, Gao Cheng reorganized his army in Luoyang, preparing to immediately lead the 34,000 Gyeonggi army to the west in case of an accident in Kansai.
During this period, due to Gao Cheng's pacification of He Basheng, Hou Jing was transferred to Jingzhou, and there was no general in the east to defend it.
The Han king, who was oriented to the south, attacked and assassinated in Xiapi (Pizhou, Jiangsu) as early as the history of assassination, occupied eastern Xuzhou and surrendered to Southern Liang.
Gao Huan ordered Gao Cheng to lead the army to recruit, but Gao Cheng refused.
This is also the first time he has disobeyed his father's orders in the true sense.
was beaten hard, but he only said that the abolition of Xingtai would lead to chaos in Kansai, and this was a good time to be unwilling to go east.
For Gao Cheng, if there is a chance to take all of Guanzhong, Mo said that he would lose East Xuzhou, even if the whole of Henan was lost, he would be happy to accept it.
Although Gao Huan was annoyed, seeing Gao Cheng's resolute attitude, he could only appoint Yinzhou Assassin Shi Dizhen as the governor of Xuzhou and a servant to lead the army to conscript.
The name and instrument cannot be easily given to others, and he is unwilling to award the post of governor of Xuzhou to others, which is also the reason why Gao Huan insisted on letting Gao Cheng send troops.
Gao Huan, who was gradually cutting off local forces, did not want to see another semi-independent general in Kanto.
Di Zhen is a native of Zhongshan, Dingzhou, who participated in the Duluo Zhou Uprising, followed Ge Rong, and then went to Xindu Jianyi with Gao Huandong, the standard Gao Huanyuan experience.
When Gao Cheng watched Guanxi, the new governor of Xuzhou, Di Zhen, fought a fierce battle in Eastern Xuzhou, repelled the Liang general Hou Chengjun and others, lived up to Gao Huan's expectations, and successfully quelled the rebellion in Eastern Xuzhou.
Immediately returned to Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu), when the Gao family father and son each breathed a sigh of relief, Pengcheng suddenly sent an urgent report, because Di Zhen was arrogant and arrogant, the wealthy family, and mistreated his subordinates, resulting in the rebellion of the people, was killed by the locals in Pengcheng, this time not only in the east of Xuzhou, Xuzhou also surrendered to Xiao Liang.
Gao Huan, who was in Jinyang, was furious when he heard the news.
It is true that he is afraid of Di Zhen, but it does not mean that he is willing to lose a general.
Now that the southeast is erosive, in the final analysis, it is Gao Cheng who refuses to send troops, and new hatred and old resentment come to his heart together, Gao Huan shouted angrily:
"If you don't obey the order, you will lose a lonely general! Wei Jing! Sun Teng! ”
"In!"
Wei Jing and Sun Teng agreed and went out in response.
"Alone with the two of you, go to Luoyang, urge Ah Hui to send troops immediately, if he doesn't comply, take away his military power! Sun Teng led the Gyeonggi army to the east, and Wei Jing escorted Ah Hui back to Jinyang! ”
Gao Huan also didn't care whether this would damage Gao Cheng's prestige, Gao Cheng's disobedience this time, harmed one of his generals, and made the southeast erosive.
Wei Jing and Sun Teng hurriedly responded to this errand.
Seeing that Gao Huan was about to be carried away by anger, Hou Jing was still arching on the side:
"King Gao, what if Ah Hui is unwilling to send troops and surrender his military power?"
Gao Huan gritted his teeth and said fiercely:
"You tell Ah Hui that if there is any disobedience, General Lone will personally lead an army of 200,000 to the south, and blame him, when the time comes, don't blame Lone for not talking about the relationship between father and son!"
Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Sun Teng and Wei Jing had different expressions.
Sun Teng's face was melancholy, if he could choose, he really didn't want to get involved in the contradictions between the father and son, and he didn't know why the ordinary and witty son disobeyed his father's orders this time.
And Wei Jing is full of spring breeze, some time ago Gao Cheng disobeyed, and Wei Jing went south to punish him, and only his brother-in-law, who raised Gao Huan with one hand, had the courage to be ruthless to Gao Cheng.
On October 13, when Wei Jing and Sun Teng went south, Gao Cheng finally learned that Hou Mo Chen Yue sent troops to Longxi and He Bayue went out of Chang'an, and the two were ready to join forces to go north and attack Cao Ni.
It's still the same recipe, it's still the same flavor, but the timeline has been moved forward by two months.
Gao Cheng concluded that He Batyue was proud and complacent, and it was very likely that he would die again at the hands of Hou Mo Chen Yue, so he actively reorganized his army and prepared to march west as soon as he got the news, taking advantage of the opportunity of He Batyue's death and the leaderless dragons in Guanxi to promote the Gao clan to unify the north.
But before the news from Kansai came, he ushered in Wei Jing and Sun Teng first.
Gao Cheng already knew the news of Di Zhen's death, and guessed that Wei Jing and Sun Teng must have received Gao Huan's order to urge him to send troops.
But the opportunity to unify the north is just around the corner, and even if he is beaten again, he must disobey orders.
When he met Wei Jing as an enemy, he was very red-eyed, and for Sun Teng, a good matchmaker, Gao Cheng greeted him with a smile.
Directly ignoring Wei Jing, Gao Cheng and Sun Teng smiled:
"Why did my uncle come to Luoyang?"
Sun Teng sighed, not knowing how to speak.
Wei Jing sneered on the side:
"Ah Hui, King Gao ordered you to send troops immediately, but do you still have to disobey the king's order this time?"
Gao Cheng was too lazy to deal with Wei Jing, and he said to Sun Teng:
"Please tell my father, this chaos..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Teng:
"Shizi, King Gao has said that if you don't send troops, order the two of us to seize your military power, escort them to Jinyang, and I will lead the troops to the east, if you are unwilling to hand over the military power, King Gao will lead 200,000 troops south to ask for guilt."
He was afraid that Gao Cheng would not know the consequences, so he opened his mouth indiscriminately and was grabbed by Wei Jing.
Sure enough, Gao Cheng realized Wei Jing's sinister intentions, he glared at the eldest uncle fiercely, and then continued with his own words:
"Please tell my father, in this troubled world, there is no father, how can I follow? The reason why I disobeyed my father's order before, as I said before, there will be a big change in Kansai, and I want to do it for my father, since my father has made up his mind, Cheng should receive his order. ”
Swallowed the sentence on his lips back into his stomach.
The army is all expenses, and Gao Huan can actually say that he wants to lead 200,000 troops south to ask for guilt, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.
The situation of the Gyeonggi Army's eastward crusade was already doomed, and for Gao Cheng, he would either let go of the military power to Sun Teng, and he would be sent to Jinyang to punish the crime; Either lead the army to the east by yourself.
In the end, he still couldn't let go of the Gyeonggi army he had formed.
Originally, he wanted to delay the date of sending troops, but on the one hand, Wei Jing was urging him, and on the other hand, thanks to his constant readiness to enter the west into Guanzhong, there was no need to make pre-war preparations at all.
Before leaving, Gao Cheng told Sun Teng:
"I ask my uncle to tell my father that after the abolition of the line, He Batyue will no longer have the name to rule Kansai, and there will be a big change, please prepare for your father as soon as possible, Cheng risked his life to disobey his father's order, that is, he hoped to take the opportunity to lead the Gyeonggi army into the customs, not for himself, but to help his father unify the north, and also ask my uncle to tell Cheng today's words."
"The prince and rest assured, Tengding will bring it to the prince."
Sun Teng solemnly agreed.
Unlike Wei Jing, he never treated Gao Cheng as a child.
Gao Cheng bowed to Sun Teng, then turned on his horse and marched east with 34,000 Gyeonggi troops to quell the rebellion in the southeast.
After a long journey, Gao Cheng turned around and looked westward, his eyes crossed Luoyang, and looked at Chang'an, which he had never seen before.
'It's always because the clouds can cover the sun, and Chang'an is not seen to make people worried. ’
Gao Cheng's heart was full of regret.
'Gao Huan is dull, inadequate and scheming! ’
Relying on He Liuhun alone, he will never see Chang'an in his life, and he can only rely on himself.
Gao Cheng set his sights on the direction of Xuzhou and East Xuzhou, for Gao Cheng, who was accustomed to fighting in the back and the temple in front, he was indeed unprepared for this battle, and all his strategic planning was the death of He Bayue, how he led the Gyeonggi soldiers to quickly move west and control the situation.
sighed with a long sigh, and could only hope that He Batyue would be blessed with a great life and escape.
Or maybe Gao Huan can seize the opportunity.
Sun Teng and Wei Jing returned to Jinyang to resume their lives, and Sun Teng relayed Gao Cheng's words.
Of course, Gao Huan knew that Kansai would be chaotic, otherwise he would not agree to let Zhai Song enter the customs and instigate.
But he did not think that He Batyue would die at the hands of Hou Mo Chen Yue.
That was his lifelong enemy, how could he die so easily.
Even if Hou Mo Chen Yue fought with He Batyue, He Batyue could still win, and the instigation was just to drain the strength of Kansai.
As for He Bayue's death, the dragons were leaderless, and he took the opportunity to send troops to occupy Kansai, which was only in a dream.
Gao Huan said disappreciatively:
"Ah Hui is ignorant, he doesn't know the ability of He Ba Adou Ni, this is a big trouble for a lonely henchman, how can Hou Mo Chen Yue be the enemy."
Gao Cheng obediently took the order to go out to calm his anger after all, in the end, it was the two fathers and sons, although there was a dispute, but it was not for the sake of fighting for power with each other, so that the father and son would not turn against each other.
And He Bayue, who was remembered by Gao Huan and Gao Cheng, had already led the army to Gaoping (Guyuan, Ningxia) at this time, and ordered Hou Mo Chen Yue to go north from Longshan to meet in Gaoping.
Hou Mo Chen Yue knew that He Bayue needed him and Cao Ni to consume each other, and would never kill him, so they went to Gaoping to meet each other.
When He Bayue saw that Hou Mo Chen Yue only led his personal guards into Gaoping, he thought that he was cowardly and did not dare to be his enemy, so he had no doubts from then on.
Ordered Mo Chen Yue to be the vanguard and attack Lingzhou Cao Ni.
On October 16, Hou Mo Chen Yue led the army to Hequ (Zhongning, Ningxia) and set up camp, and sent people to invite He Bayue to come to the Hequ camp to discuss military affairs.
"Uncle Yue, Hebayue is here! Only the guards were brought with him. ”
Yuan Hongjing received a report from the soldiers guarding the camp gate, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly reported to Hou Mo Chen Yueyu.
It turned out that He Bayue actually learned from Hou Mo and Chen Yue to only bring his personal guards to meet in the river meander.
Such arrogance finally allowed Hou Mo Chen Yue to find an opportunity.
"The matter of setting up an ambush will be handed over to the virtuous son-in-law, and when I lead He Bayue to the tent, and then leave the table under the pretext, you quickly lead someone into the tent and kill this person."
Hou Mo Chen Yue couldn't hide the joy in his heart, he seemed to see his proud appearance when he seized Kansai.
------Off topic------
I'm actually quite satisfied with this arrangement, at least not to reduce my intelligence.
And it's also logical.
There is a chapter at twelve o'clock in the evening, and I ask you again for recommendation tickets and monthly passes.
