Gao Cheng, who was given the power to appoint and dismiss the heads of the prefectures and counties in Henan as a general, was not only limited to the rectification of the officialdom, but also began to step up the installation of his henchmen in the localities to complete the actual control of the prefectures and counties.

Although Gao Huan said that the appointment of the county magistrate of Henan Prefecture did not need to be communicated to him, Gao Cheng still ordered someone to send a letter to Jinyang to ask for Gao Huan's consent.

In the letter, Gao Cheng expounded the idea of using the generals of the Gyeonggi Army to lead the surrounding states of Zhenluoyang and defend Luoyang.

It is intended that Duan Shao will serve as the assassin of Northern Yuzhou.

Northern Yuzhou has been abandoned, Gao Huan was re-established after taking power, and governed a total of 11 counties in Guangwu, Chenggao and Xingyang counties, and the seat of governance was in Hugao Guancheng, Chenggao County.

From the familiar name of Tiger Prison Pass, we know the importance of Northern Yuzhou to Gongwei Luoyang.

Not only that, there are also Xingyang Zheng family with Taiyuan Wang, Qinghe Cui, and Fan Yang Lu as four surnames in Xingyang.

Gao Cheng put Duan Shao in Northern Yuzhou, not without a reason to guard against the Zheng family.

Gao Aocao was placed in Guangzhou by Gao Cheng, which is located between Luoyang and Sanjing, leading seven counties and fifteen counties such as Luyang and Nanyang, and is located in Beishan County, Luyang County (Lushan, Henan).

Gao Aocao, as the founder of Gao Huanxindu Jianyi, if he hadn't been asked by Gao Cheng to be in the Gyeonggi army, it would have been more than enough to guard the place with his military exploits in the name of the three dukes.

Murong Shaozong is the assassin of Yingzhou and sits in Changshe County, Yingchuan County.

Yaoxiong is the assassin of Yuzhou and guards against the Southern Liang.

Hu Luguang is the history of Liangzhou Thorn, sitting in Daliang City (Kaifeng, Henan).

And among the assassins, there is also a proposal for a county guard, Wang Sizheng to serve as the county guard of Hengnong.

Hengnong is Hongnong, as an important barrier on the west side of Luoyang, in Gao Cheng's view, no one is more suitable for the post of county guard than tower defense master Wang Sizheng.

This initiative is not without the idea of seeing Yuwentai hit his head and bleed under Wang Sizheng's defense.

For the above request, Gao Huan replied to Gao Cheng:

'You do everything in Henan, why do you need to ask for instructions on everything. ’

Gao Cheng also listened to this, and the instructions that should be done should not be less.

But after all, he got Gao Huan's permission, and Gao Cheng immediately went to the Son of Heaven to make personnel adjustments, and transferred the original assassins in each state back to Luoyang to take important positions.

The reason why Gao Cheng made such a decision was also because these state assassins were not the leading generals, and they could be easily mobilized.

June of the fourth year of Taichang (535).

After getting the consent of the Son of Heaven, Gao Cheng personally sent the generals out of Luoyang, and after some reluctance to leave, everyone led the troops and the families of the soldiers out of the town.

The Gyeonggi Army has finally been justified.

The so-called Gyeonggi refers to the capital and the surrounding areas, although there was a name of the Gyeonggi Army in the past, but it was always nested in Luoyang, and it was better to call it the Luoyang Defenders.

Today, Gao Cheng has complete control over the eastern Wei and western regions of Henan, with Luoyang as the center.

And this series of personnel adjustments also has another deep meaning: forcing the pro-army generals in the east who have hidden dissent.

Gao Cheng hoped to solve his worries before the all-out war between the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, so as to fully control the land of Henan.

And what he targeted was Yanzhou Thorn Shi Fan Zihu.

Fan Zihu's ancestral home was Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and his ancestors, as the leader of the barbarian tribes in Jingzhou, were moved to Daibei.

Like most of the history of supporting the army, he served under Er Zhurong.

Emperor Xiaoming was poisoned by Empress Dowager Hu, and during Er Zhurong's entry into Luo, he ordered Fan Zihu to lead the army to capture Tangzhou, and in the same year, Tangzhou was renamed Jinzhou, and Fan Zihu was promoted to Jinzhou because of his merits.

However, as Gao Huan's power grew in the process of pacifying the Hebei uprising, Er Zhurong's vigilance was aroused.

Er Zhurong decided to let Fan Zihu move his seat and place Gao Huan in Jinju, which was surrounded by the Erzhu clan.

Although Fan Zihu performed meritorious deeds and held a high position, he still made the same mistake as He Batsheng in the end.

After Erzhurong's death, Fan Zihu chose to break away from the Erzhu clan and instead expressed his loyalty to Yuan Ziyou.

After Yuan Ziyou's death, although Fan Zihu obtained the understanding of the Erzhu clan, he was also deprived of military power.

Standing in line is undoubtedly a big problem, Gao Huan has received rich rewards by supporting Er Zhuzhao, while He Batsheng and Fan Zihu, who were once above Gao Huan, have lost their qualifications to compete for glory because of their support for Yuan Ziyou.

It wasn't until Gao Huan raised troops in Xindu that Fan Zihu regained military power.

Seeing the defeat of the Erzhu clan in Hanling, Fan Zihu immediately responded to Gao Huan and participated in the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Erzhu clan.

His life experience is exactly the same as that of Horbat.

And He Basheng was appointed as the assassin of Yanzhou, and was forced to rebel by Gao Cheng, and it was Fan Zihu who replaced him.

With such an arrangement, how could Fan Zihu not have other ideas.

Since taking office, he has been worried about repeating the mistakes of He Batsheng, but he is afraid of Gao's soldiers and does not dare to make any moves, for fear of being caught.

An Wen spent a few years in Yanzhou, and originally thought that the Gao family would be able to let him support troops in the local area, but now he sees Duan Shao as Northern Yuzhou and Hu Luguang as Liangzhou.

Approaching step by step, especially between Liangzhou and Yanzhou, there is only one West Yanzhou barrier, so Fan Zihu is not in a hurry.

He felt more and more that Gao Cheng was about to attack him: Xianbei child, the persecution is too much!

betrayed the Erzhu clan for the first time, was relieved of military power and became a court official in Luoyang, and life and death hung in the balance of others' lives, at least Fan Zihu was no longer willing to experience it.

He began to actively connect with him, and successively went to Xinqingzhou Thorn Shi Hou Yuan, and Nanqingzhou Thorn Shi Dayeba.

Tell the two that Gao Cheng is dealing with the general, and he took He Batsheng being forced to rebel as an example, hoping that the two who are also the generals of the Erzhu clan can join forces with him to resist the Gao clan.

Nanqingzhou Thorn Shi Daye Ba was deeply impressed with Fan Zihu's opinion, and agreed to act together with him.

While Hou Yuan, the assassin of Qingzhou, wrote back to express his support for Fan Zihu, he believed that Gao Cheng would not immediately take action against everyone, and hoped to make full preparations and not rush into trouble.

As soon as the reply to Fan Zihu was written, Hou Yuan wrote another whistleblower letter to Gao Cheng.

Hou Yuan thought that he was different from Fan Zihu, he led his troops to join the Gao clan after the Battle of Guang'a, participated in the Battle of Hanling, and could be regarded as half of Xindu Yuancong in any case.

Besides, he has an old relationship with Gao Cheng.

Before the Battle of Hanling, in order to let the troops fight to the death, Gao Huan was responsible for agitating Gao Aocao, while Gao Cheng took a walk with Hou Yuanyue.

During this period, he expressed his appreciation for Hou Yuan, which also made Hou Yuan feel that he did not need to take risks, and it was better to take Fan Zihu's conspiracy as a statement of his loyalty.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that Hou Yuan doesn't think that Fan Zihu can succeed.

If Huan's 200,000 Bingzhou Hu soldiers in Jinyang are not raised, the Gyeonggi army under Gao Cheng alone will not be easy to deal with.

In the years of Gao Cheng's southern and northern wars, the army under his command has long been famous, and no one dares to underestimate it.

And the ability of the Gao family's father and son is also the reason why Hou Yuan chose to be loyal to the Gao family.

Both generations of father and son have the posture of heroes, and the strength is the most in all parties, this big ship is not a small wind and waves can overturn.
