This time, Gao Cheng led the Gyeonggi army south, originally to compete with Chen Qingzhi's defeated general.

After more than two years of reorganization and training, the Gyeonggi Regiment, which enjoyed the treatment of a Chinese soldier, no longer had the same phenomenon of mixed soldiers and auxiliaries as it did when it was first formed.

Now there are 34,000 men, all soldiers.

Among them, there are more than 10,000 war horses and 5,000 cavalry soldiers.

After rescuing Dou Tai, Gao Cheng went to Jinyang and asked Gao Huan for 10,000 war horses, but he did not expand the cavalry to 10,000.

Instead, as he had promised to the cavalry who ran with him when he was in Hongnong, he would equip each of them with two horses.

The 5,000 cavalry were still divided into 4,000 cavalry by Gao Aocao 2,000 cavalry, Duan Shao's 1,000 cavalry, and Yaoxiong's 1,000 cavalry, and the 500 Wuchuan cavalry under Gao Cheng was also expanded to 1,000 cavalry.

In addition to these 5,000 cavalry, there are also 500 personal guard cavalry who have never been in the Gyeonggi Army.

Strictly speaking, Gao Cheng actually controlled 5,500 cavalry.

The 500 guards were naturally placed under the control of Wang Sizheng, the confidant governor, and the 1,000 Wuchuan cavalry was placed under the command of Hu Luguang.

My Healing Game

Except for Murong Shaozong, who assisted him in commanding the infantry of the Chinese army, only Gao Jishi was not assigned to the cavalry establishment.

But Gao Jishi also had his own way, calling Brother affectionately, stretched out his hand at Gao Aocao, and immediately exchanged five hundred foot soldiers with Gao Ao Cao for the establishment of five hundred cavalry.

It's just that for many days later, Gao Aocao, who has always doted on his younger brother, walked around when he saw him.

I still regret it in my heart, I shouldn't have let Gao Jishi get close to Gao Cheng back then, and I learned something stinky wrong.

Of course, it is impossible for Gao Cheng to know Gao Aocao's slander, otherwise he would have to cry out for wrong, he has not called the third uncle ancestor for a long time.

Halfway through, he suddenly learned that Sima Ziru had withdrawn from the army, and Gao Cheng immediately understood that it was impossible to exchange views with Chen Qingzhi on the battlefield this time, and immediately thought of changing his course.

Chen Qingzhi's dispatch of troops was the result of Gao Huan's test of Nanliang's intentions, and since Sima Ziru retreated, he had no reason to continue the siege.

Traveling all the way to Luyang County, Xiangcheng County (Luyang, Henan), Gao Cheng really got a report from Yuan Zigong, the assassin of Nanjingzhou, and Chen Qingzhi withdrew from the siege and returned to Jiangling.

Jiangneung is a famous city in the south, and its importance is even second only to Jiankang.

He was crazy to use more than 30,000 people to go to Jiangling to find Chen Qingzhi's trouble.

It is a hornet's nest, once it is touched, all parties are reinforcements from Southern Liang, not to mention that Jiangling is garrisoned by Chen Qingzhi's 30,000 soldiers.

On the night of the same day, after setting up camp outside Luyang City, Gao Cheng held a military meeting and explained to the generals that he would turn east and recover his homeland in Southern Yanzhou.

Naturally, the generals would not object, but Murong Shaozong still reminded:

"Metropolitan Governor, now that there is a lack of civilians in the army, do you want to recruit them on the spot?"

This time out of Luoyang, for the purpose of rescuing Nanjingzhou, it is naturally impossible to carry a large number of people to the south, slowing down the speed of the march.

Gao Cheng denied:

"The soldiers are fast, I want to lead the cavalry first, and now the Liang people think that I am rescuing Nanjing, and they would never have thought that I would turn to Qiaozhou, the defenders of Qiaozhou are unprepared, and it is easy to break."

On the spot, Gao Aocao, Duan Shao, Yaoxiong, Hu Luguang, and Gao Jishi led the cavalry to accompany them.

With Murong Shaozong leading the footsteps, assisted by Wang Sizheng, walking behind.

Wang Sizheng commanded 500 guards and cavalry to be transferred to Gao Ji's command.

Gao Jishi was Gao Cheng's former confidant governor, and among the five hundred personal guards, one hundred were from his old department, and four hundred were brought by him from Gao Aocao's army.

Commanding five hundred guards is naturally not a problem.

After the deployment was confirmed, the generals returned to prepare the dry rations that the cavalry would carry in advance tomorrow.

Gao Cheng deliberately left Murong Shaozong behind, held his hand, and said emotionally:

Cheng dropped out of school since he was a child, and was separated from his father and had no one to discipline him.

"The general is not stubborn with Cheng, but teaches the art of war with his heart, for Cheng, the general is my mentor and the elder that Cheng will respect all his life.

"Now Cheng wants to lead the light cavalry to attack, leaving tens of thousands of foot soldiers with nothing to follow, and can only rely on the general to rule for me.

"General Chengde, it's a blessing in my life, and I hope the general won't bear me."

Murong Shaozong choked up and said:

"But please rest assured, the last general would rather die than live up to the kindness of the Grand Governor."

Murong Shaozong can understand Gao Cheng's worries, and King Xiao Gao has entrusted 29,000 people to him with these 34,000 people, if he doesn't have these words, Murong Shaozong will feel strange.

Sending Murong Shaozong away, Gao Cheng had not wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and ordered someone to summon Wang Sizheng again.

Still retreated from others, and said softly:

"I will leave the royal governor to assist Murong Shaozong in commanding the foot soldiers, can the royal governor understand my mind?"

Wang Sizheng groaned for a moment and replied:

"The humble position will definitely be optimistic about Murong Shaozong for the son, but if he has different intentions, he will be killed for the son."

"Although Murong Shaozong is the old department of the Erzhu clan, Cheng Xuan doesn't believe that his people will have different intentions."

After only saying this, Gao Cheng did not mention the so-called intention again, and instead diverted the topic:

"Cheng and the governor have been getting along for a long time, and they are getting closer to each other, and I heard that the governor has a daughter, and if the governor does not dislike Cheng rudeness, Cheng is willing to ask the governor to marry a son-in-law."

Wang Sizheng was so excited that his face turned red, and he said in a trembling voice:

"The prince of the world is not suspicious of the humble position of being a guest of the Yuan Xiumen, he is appointed as a close confidant governor, and he entrusts him with his life, and the humble position is the only one who can repay the kindness of the son, and now the little girl can get the son of the world, how dare she shirk the lowly position."

Gao Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile:

"In this way, Cheng is going to change his words and call the governor to call his father-in-law."

Wang Sizheng resigned again and again.

Gao Cheng encouraged:

"Uncle Yue and work hard, everything, Cheng will see it in his eyes."

Seeing off the emotional Wang Sizheng, Gao Cheng sat alone in the handsome tent, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: This Wang Sizheng can finally be driven with confidence.

A good tower defense master, always used as a personal captain, is really a waste of talent.

Gao Cheng once again had to grieve himself for the great cause of the Gao family, he was different from Gao Huan, He Liuhun was simply motivated by the sight of color, he was a little King Gao, but he focused on the overall situation.

When Wang Sizheng returned to his tent, his face had already calmed down, and his previous gaffe was just for Gao Cheng to see.

The intention of Gao Cheng's words, he was clear in his heart.

But he really needs an opportunity to dispel Gao Cheng's suspicion that he was once a guest of the Yuan Xiu Sect, so as to reap the benefits.

As for whether the grandson of the Wang family can inherit the family business in the future, he doesn't care at all.

There are many examples of suppression of foreign relatives in history, and the Northern Wei Dynasty has continued the system of the death of the son and the mother until the Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke abolished this system.

The beneficiary of the abolition of this system is named Hu Chonghua, known as the Empress Dowager Hu in history.

What is the king of Xingzong, the defilement of the court, the belief in Buddhism, and the construction of a large number of buildings, these can only be regarded as personal hobbies.

But she was in the court twice, and the government was abandoned, and Yuan Wei had today's situation, and Empress Dowager Hu had to take half of the credit.

Not to mention the absurd deeds of her poisoning her parents and daughters in order to compete for power with Emperor Xiaoming, and falsely claiming to be the prince with the daughter of Emperor Xiaoming, and becoming the son of heaven.

This allowed Er Zhurong to find the opportunity to come to Luoyang to seize power.

In view of this, Wang Sizheng really doesn't know whether the future Gao family will inherit the system of the death of the son and the noble mother, and what kind of attitude he will have towards his relatives.

He even hoped that his daughter would give birth to a daughter and not have children, and not get involved in future disputes over succession.

Taiyuan Wang is one of the four surnames assessed by Emperor Xiaowen, the family is noble, how do you need to enter the relatives again.

This is also the difference between Wang Sizheng and Li Yuanzhong, the Li family of Zhaojun can only be regarded as the bottom role among the five ethnic groups in Hebei.

If it weren't for his unwillingness to be idle anymore, he wouldn't necessarily agree to Gao Cheng's courtship.

The mental illness caused by Gao Cheng's long-term detention, such as a strange favorability, has long been alleviated.

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Cheng agreed last night to keep Murong Shaozong as the main and Wang Sizheng as the deputy, and the two of them led the footsteps.

He and Gao Aocao, Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, Yaoxiong, Gao Jishi and others led 5,500 horsemen, one horse with two horses, and rushed to Xiaohuang County, Qiaozhou, Southern Liang.

This attack was different from Tongguan, when he was anxious to rescue Dou Tai, so he didn't care about horsepower, and he was able to be one step at a time, which caused a large number of war horses to die.

Although it is also a galloping horse now, it will also pay attention to let the war horse rest.

Gao Cheng is not so generous, for the sake of a state to scrap 10,000 war horses, if this kind of thing really happens, Gao Huan should be anxious again.

Marching in February, spring is just right.

Gao Cheng tumbled off the back of a divine steed.

The old guy who used to grow up with him was scrapped during the battle of Tongguan.

Gao Cheng simply kept it in the house, and also found a mare for it as a companion, and specially selected a bright coat.

As we all know, King Xiao Gao never treats his own people badly, including his own horses.

King Xiaogao personally conquered Xiao Liang, thinking of the characters in Jiangnan, and couldn't help but sigh:

"But I hate being born a year late, and I don't see Wei Hu's demeanor."

Wei Hu is Wei Rui, a famous general of the Southern Liang Dynasty, who participated in the Battle of Zhongli and broke the million-strong army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, causing the Wei army to drown and be beheaded more than 100,000 each.

In view of the fact that Nanliang adheres to the same rigorous attitude towards the statistics of the record as Xiao Gaowang, the reliability of the record is naturally worth trusting.

Yang Shen of the Ming Dynasty praised Wei Rui as the crown of the 'Six Dynasties Talents', and the great man also highly respected him.

Not to mention Liu Yu, who turned to become an emperor in his later years, Wei Rui is undoubtedly the first general of the Southern Dynasty, not only with outstanding military achievements, but also with benevolence, honest all his life, and no money left after his death.

Such a character, even if the record is slightly injected, it is impossible to be like Gao Cheng and shamelessly pour himself into it.

Hearing Gao Cheng's emotion, Gao Jishi, who was accompanying him, said with a smile:

"The Metropolitan Governor doesn't need to regret not seeing Wei Hu, Wei Hu has to hate Jiuquan because he doesn't know the Metropolitan Governor."

Gao Cheng's mood suddenly relaxed, he glanced sideways at Gao Jishi, and asked:

"Zitong hasn't drunk alcohol today, has he?"

Gao Jishi's eyes lit up when he heard this:

"I haven't drunk yet, but the son of the world wants to get drunk with me?"

Gao Cheng shook his head and said in his heart: No wonder his brain is so active today.

"It's better to drink less."

only said lightly, Gao Cheng did not persuade again.

If Gao Jishi can quit drinking, Gao Huan and Duan Shao's two nephews can quit sex.

Therefore, Gao Cheng has always been strict with himself in his style of life.

but never exhorted them to stay away from wine, and they could not be persuaded.

Of course, Duan Shao and Hu Luguang were really quitting drinking during this time, and they didn't know what they were stimulated.

After resting for a while, with Gao Cheng's order, everyone turned over and got on their horses according to the order and continued to drive their horses.

Southern Liang Qiaozhou, that is, the former Northern Wei Dynasty and Southern Yanzhou.

Qiaozhou is located in the north of the main stream of the Huai River, and the state governs Xiaohuang County (Bozhou, Anhui).

In the last year of Emperor Xiaozhuang (531), Liu Shiming, the assassin of Southern Yanzhou, was robbed by Wang Qide, a native of the state, and had no choice but to surrender to Xiao Liang according to Southern Yanzhou.

This is also the second time he has been captured by the Liang people.

Liu Shiming is a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou, after the Heyin Revolution (528), Xuzhou Assassin Shiyuan monk surrendered to Xiao Liang according to the city, Liu Shiming, who was the internal history of Pengcheng, was unwilling to surrender Liang, Xiao Yan was not embarrassed, so he was released.

Liu Shiming, who was captured by the Liang people for the second time, resigned from the Liang Dynasty and returned to Pengcheng to retire because his family was in Xuzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After a few comfortable years, Liu Shiming, who was born in a wealthy family in Xuzhou, finally died in the civil strife of the wealthy family instigated by Gao Cheng.

The news of his death reached Xiao Liang, and he was posthumously presented to the Hussar General, Yitong Sansi, and Xuzhou Assassin History.

When Gao Cheng crossed the border of Liang and Wei and arrived in the territory of Qiaozhou, his light cavalry immediately increased its speed and went straight to Xiaohuang County.

Since the surrender of Qiaozhou, the north has been in turmoil, and there is no time to look south, so it has been peaceful for a long time.

Even before Gao Cheng led the army to quell the rebellion in Xuzhou, he didn't take a look at Qiaozhou not far away, which made people paralyzed by the history of Qiaozhou.

As Gao Cheng said, he could never have imagined that the Gyeonggi Army, which was clearly leading the army south to relieve the siege of Nanjingzhou, actually transferred to Qiaozhou halfway.

Five thousand and five hundred horsemen raided Qiaozhou, and the movement of thousands of horses rushing together naturally couldn't be hidden, but Gao Cheng didn't care, he only needed to arrive in Xiaohuangcheng before the person who reported the news to achieve the unexpected effect.

When we were about to arrive at Xiaohuang City, it was mid-afternoon, and the scouts reported and the city gates were wide open.

Gao Cheng selected twenty warriors in the army, took off the robes of the Wei army, and only equipped them with sabers, so as to take the door lightly.

Xiaohuangcheng has not been in war for several years, the soldiers are slack, and the gatekeeper saw twenty horsemen coming lightly, but he didn't think it was a Northern Wei sergeant, but thought it was a son of the Hao clan who returned from hunting, and did not pay attention to it, and only divided a few people to try to drink them.

Seeing that the twenty horsemen were about to rush in front of them and had not slowed down, they felt that something was wrong, and when they saw them raise their sabers at their waists and cut off a few heads.

Only then did I realize that there was an enemy army that was about to attack the city gate.

Before he could shout a warning, a light rider had already passed by his side with a blinding flash of knife light.

And the gatekeeper was no longer conscious.

But he did not need to worry about warnings, because as the twenty horsemen took the city gates, the soldiers guarding the city were already shouting warnings and shouting for an enemy attack.

But his tone was very flustered, because he saw a black line in the distance, and the roaring horse's hooves were getting closer and closer.

The defenders of Xiaohuangcheng wanted to recapture the city gate, but it was difficult to gather enough manpower for a while, and they were never able to seize the city gate back.

When the garrisons at the head of the city poured down, Gao Aocao had already led 1,500 cavalry from his headquarters to rush over.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers scattered one after another, and Gao Cheng easily captured Xiaohuangcheng.

For this result, Gao Cheng had already expected it.

It doesn't make sense that the state and county soldiers of their Northern Wei Dynasty are a bunch of waste dim sum, while the state and county soldiers of Southern Liang are a group of elites.

After capturing the city, Gao Cheng rarely instructed the soldiers to carry out a purge, but if he assisted Wang Qide to hold Liu Shiming hostage and surrender to Xiao Liang's family, Ding Zhuang was slaughtered.

Gao Cheng knows very well that taking Xiaohuangcheng is not the end of this battle, and defending Xiaohuangcheng is the key.

With these people, will it be impossible to open the door to Liang Jun.

As he thought, on the south bank of the Huai River, a member of the Southern Liang General also began to gather his troops to prepare to recapture Xiaohuangcheng after learning that Gao Cheng had turned to attack Qiaozhou.

------Off topic------

The ultimate move still hasn't been held back, so continue to hold it.

This month's monthly pass is still 29 short of 1000, and on the last day, I ask you for a monthly pass.
