Chapter 117: War Horse

Worried that he would be attacked by Yuwentai on the way back, Gao Cheng temporarily stationed in Hongnong, waiting for Hu Luguang, Murong Shaozong, and Gao Jishi's leading foot guards to respond.

During this period, he sent cavalry to go out to collect the rout, and sent messengers many times to tell Hu Luguang and others to be careful.

On May 17, after gathering three or four thousand defeated troops, Gao Cheng joined forces with Hu Luguang and others in Hongnong.

With their escort, he set off with confidence and returned to Luoyang with Dou Tai.

For this ambush battle that took place near Tongguan, the Eastern and Western Wei have their own expressions.

The Western Wei Dynasty played up Yuwentai's 6,000 light cavalry to defeat Gaocheng Doutai's 50,000 allied troops and capture more than 16,000 people, as if the whole battle had little to do with the Tongguan infantry who covered up Doutai's siege troops.

What! Boasting big results? Did Dou Tai take 20,000 troops south? Did Gao Cheng have a Gyeonggi army of 34,000 men? Isn't that 50,000 coalition troops?

After Gao Huan knew the specific battle situation, under his instruction, the Eastern Wei Dynasty focused on showing that Gao Cheng expected the enemy first, and expected Dou Tai to be in trouble, so he led 5,000 light cavalry to attack 480 miles in two days, and broke Yuwentai's tens of thousands of cavalry with 5,000 tired divisions, and drove Yuwentai back to Tongguan.

Judging from the two companies' respective statements on the battle of Tongguan, it seems that there is no loser in this battle, which can be called a win-win situation, but only they know the truth inside.

In this battle of Tongguan, Yuwentai is undoubtedly the real winner, a big victory proved his ability to the people of Guanxi, broke the undefeated record of the Gao clan and Zhou Hu, and effectively appeased the people's hearts in the context of Zhu Hunyuan's return to the east.

But he won but was very uncomfortable, if he was not bluffed by Gao Cheng, but led the army to the back of the mountain to find out, maybe Gao Huan's good son's life would be explained in his own hands.

But who would have thought that Gao Cheng used 4,000 cavalry to make a posture of encircling 6,000 cavalry, which was actually just a bluff, not to drag him down at all, and cooperate with the army that came from behind the mountain to annihilate him.

From Gao Huan's point of view, Dou Tai is safe and sound, Gao Cheng is trying his best to turn the tide, and having an excellent heir has an even greater effect on people's hearts than Yuwentai winning a battle.

And the loss of more than 10,000 people, for Gao Huan, who has a big family, he can really accept it.

After a short rest in Luoyang, Gao Cheng and Dou Tai went north to Jinyang.

The crying child has milk to eat, and now there are almost no formed cavalry units under Gao Cheng's command, which is mainly the reason why a large number of war horses have been scrapped.

The purpose of going north was naturally to reorganize a larger cavalry for himself with the credit of rescuing Dou Tai.

On the ninth day of the first month of June, Gao Cheng arrived in Jinyang, and Gao Huan went out of the city to greet him.

"Father!"

Gao Cheng didn't wait for the donkey cart to approach, so he stopped the coachman and trotted all the way to Gao Huan.

Gao Huan didn't look at him, crossed Gao Cheng, and walked straight towards Dou Tai in the distance.

Dou Tai turned over and dismounted, knelt down and pleaded guilty:

"Thailand lightly attacked the enemy, resulting in the loss of soldiers, please punish the king."

Gao Huan helped Dou Tai up, glanced at Dou Tai, and after confirming that he was not injured, he blamed:

"Ning Shi is so stupid, victory and defeat are commonplace, how can he abandon me because of a moment of frustration!"

patted Dou Tai's shoulder again and said with relief:

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

Dou Tai was ashamed.

Gao Huan waved his hand again, and Gao Cheng, who was ignoring him, beckoned over.

"Ah Hui, if it weren't for you in this battle, how could I see Ning Shi again as a father."

As he spoke, he solemnly bowed to Gao Cheng.

"Father, don't!"

Gao Cheng didn't dare to take it anyway, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"King!"

And Dou Tai couldn't cry anymore when he saw this scene.

This made Gao Cheng, who is also an acting school, have to admire, Lao Gao's hand is really beautiful for Dou Tai, and he plays the role of father and son.

Everyone entered the city with Gao Huan, and the Bohai Mansion set up a banquet early, and all the generals in Jinyang attended.

Compared with the past, there are a lot fewer familiar faces, and when Gao Huan was the Yuan Cong of Jinzhou Assassin History, he was sent out to the town.

For example, Wei Jing served as the assassin of Jizhou, followed Gao Huan to assassinate Du Luo Zhou, and Cai Jun, a native of Guangning, who replaced Hou Jing as the assassin of Jeju, Pan Le, a native of Guangning, served as the assassin of Dongyongzhou, Mo Duolou Loanwen, a native of Daan, served as the assassin of Jinzhou, Han Zhihui's brother Han Liang served as the assassin of Taizhou, Xue Guyan, a generation, served as the assassin of Xianzhou, and Peng Le, a native of Anding, served as the assassin of Xianzhou, etc.

"Heaven Descends"

In the eighty states of Kanto, most of them are Gao's henchmen.

This also marks that Gao Huan has finally completed his control of the place two years after swallowing Kanto.

There are also many new faces, including Ke Zhu Hunyuan, who caused the Battle of Tongguan and finally returned to the east.

Gao Huan gave the county duke to Ke Zhu Hunyuan, worshiped the general of the chariot and rode the general, rewarded the slave and maid Tian Zhai, and added official titles to the four Ke Zhu Hun brothers who were in Jinyang, and even gave the knighthood to the generals of Ke Zhu Hunyuan.

But he did not grant the long-promised position of state assassin.

But Zhu Hunyuan's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be dissatisfied, after all, Gao Huan had given enough compensation.

As one of the protagonists of this banquet, Gao Cheng drank with the Jinyang generals who came to congratulate one by one, and when Zhu Hunyuan approached, Gao Cheng poured a cup for him, raised a glass and said:

"But Zhu Hun Gong is concerned about the imperial court, not afraid of hardships and dangers, thousands of miles to the east, this righteous move, after Cheng heard about it, he already had the intention of being close, and he finally saw it today, please drink a lamp and don't shirk."

But Zhu Hunyuan hurriedly took the wine glass and said with a smile:

"The last general in Kansai is the name of the prince of the world for a long time."

As he spoke, he counted Gao Cheng's past exploits.

The two praised each other, but they also made a good impression.

The banquet dispersed, the generals said goodbye, and Gao Cheng also went to the wing room with Gao Huan to discuss the matter.

"If you don't have a war horse, why bother pretending to be in front of your father."

As soon as he took his seat, Gao Huan, who was full of wine, glared and said.

Knowing that crying children have milk to drink, Gao Cheng deliberately took a donkey cart on this trip, accompanied by five hundred guards or mules, or donkeys, which is diametrically opposed to the grandeur of the high-headed horses when he goes to Jinyang on weekdays.

In the battle of Tongguan, the loss of horses was huge, but Luoyang was not unable to get together 500 horses, and this arrangement was to highlight a problem: he was very short of horses.

Gao Cheng scratched his head and smiled:

"This little bit of caution can't be hidden from my father."

"Say, how much you want."

Gao Huan said casually.

Gao Cheng took the opportunity to open his mouth:

"Father, please allocate 15,000 horses for me."

Gao Huan is also simple, just two words:

"Don't!"

and slowly spit out a number:

"Five thousand."

Gao Cheng is in a hurry, everyone else is erasing the change, don't just leave a change.

"My father is far away in Jinyang, and the matter of Henan is beyond the reach of the whip, if there is an emergency, the child can no longer let the soldiers run on their own horses, and ask for the father's permission."

Gao Huan stroked his beard and groaned for a moment, and then said:

"10,000 horses, no more."

It was a sky-high asking price, and he didn't really think that his subordinates could ride three times with such a luxury, which was the treatment of Dou Tai's attack on Xiurong Chuan.

Gao Cheng immediately thanked him, and made another request like Gao Huan:

"The child hopes to be able to reset the horse government."
