Chapter 155: Quelling the Rebellion

Zhang Shiqi, who has a high sense of responsibility for the authenticity of history, did not forget to truthfully record the meeting between Gao Cheng and Yuan Shanjian:

'The emperor conspired with Fan Zihu to kill the general Cheng, and the matter was leaked, but he asked Cheng to be guilty.

Cheng said: Your Majesty is not guilty, this traitor is demagogic, Cheng knows, Your Majesty is in Gao's family, and there is no second heart.

Emperor Nai wept and said: Noble me, the general and the high king. The general has covered it for me, and the one who is all my name is also a general. Good eyes are willing to serve with all their hearts to repay the kindness of the general.

Cheng said: Your Majesty is the supreme in the world, how can you serve others!

The emperor is ashamed, he can't be right. ’

Although the party Yuan Shanjian didn't know how he was plotting with Fan Zihu, Zhang Shiqi said that if he was, he had to be.

Because the pen is in Zhang Shiqi's hand.

If you don't see Yuan Shan thoroughly, how can you show the magnanimity of the general, and the general will usurp the throne in the future, which is also the result of Yuan Shan's hard work.

The general retreated step by step, but he couldn't get the result of Yuan Shanjian's conscience, and finally had to do it as a last resort.

The father and son of the Gao family are bent on being loyal ministers of Great Wei.

Zhang Shiqi has decided that in the future, the history of Wei must be passed on to the entire loyal ministers, and the loyal people must be praised, and the father and son of the Gao family must have names, and they must be the first and second.

When he told Gao Cheng about this idea, he was reprimanded by Xiao Gaowang, who did not admire his name.

This is also the second time that Zhang Shiqi has been reprimanded by Gao Cheng since the incident with Wei Jing.

When truthfully recording the incident of Wei Jing, Zhang Shiqi did not forget the teachings of King Xiao Gao and recorded Gao Cheng's sins, so he wrote down Gao Cheng's eating of cattle.

When Gao Cheng had the leisure to flip through the records, he looked at a series of records of eating cattle, and his face darkened instantly.

He felt that this record should be passed on to future generations, and future generations would have to give themselves the name of Emperor Niu, or Emperor Qi Niu.

After the reprimand, he quickly ordered Zhang Shiqi to revise and retract the demerits.

is coming, Gao Cheng also secretly sighed, as soon as people's moral level is high, they can't find black spots in other people's eggs, otherwise why would Zhang Shiqi only grasp the matter of eating cattle and write over and over again.

Anyway, Yuan Shanjian's heart finally fell, and he didn't have to worry about being implicated by Fan Zihu.

Of course, maybe he felt that he was too aggrieved as an emperor, and when he returned to Miyagi, when only his henchmen were present, there was inevitably another cry.

Gao Cheng didn't know Yuan Shanjian's grievances, and he didn't have time to pay attention to them.

Fan Zihu openly rebelled in Yanzhou, slandered Zhongliang, and said that He Liuhun bullied the Son of Heaven, when did he Gao Cheng bully the Son of Heaven.

Someone said bad things about the Son of Heaven in front of him, and Gao Cheng couldn't wait to kill that person and poke his ears again.

Zhang Shiqi wrote it with a pen, not with his mouth in a literal sense, of course it doesn't count.

Such a great Wei loyal minister, how can he bear being splashed with dirty water, so Gao Cheng ordered 11,000 soldiers and 1,000 guards from Luoyang to march westward, and when he passed the tiger prison, he added Duan Shao, the assassin of Northern Yuzhou, and 5,000 steps under his command to Daliang (Kaifeng, Henan), and 3,000 people under Hu Luguang were also ready to go.

Gao Aocao and Yaoxiong, who were stationed in the south, were not mobilized because Gao Cheng was worried that Nanliang would join in the fun.

After Gao Cheng crossed the girder, he slowed down his march, and acted in that scene with Hou Yuan, who needed Hou Yuan to revolt on the battlefield, and waited for the head to come over with peace of mind.

If Hou Yuan retreated and didn't want to find a way to send Fan Zihu and Dayeba's heads, he Gao Cheng would send Hou Yuan's letter to Fan Zihu and others.

Xiao Gao Wang has never been an inappropriate person in terms of being a person.

Faced with Gao Cheng's total army of 20,000 and claimed to be approaching 100,000 people, Fan Zihu asked Daye Ba and Hou Yuan for help.

Nanqingzhou Thorn Shi Daye led the army to the city of Yanzhou Zhizhu (Jining, Shandong), and Fan Zihu went out of the city to greet his hardcore brother.

Soon, Hou Yuan, the assassin of Qingzhou, led the army to arrive at the Bianqiu and participated in the grand event.

Fan Zihu, who was convinced that Hou Yuan had broken with Gao Cheng, and Daye pulled out of the city to greet him, and had a very happy conversation with Hou Yuan.

Hou Yuan did not make any changes, but often only brought a small number of relatives in and out of Fan Zihu and Dayeba's camp to discuss military affairs and win the trust of others.

He is an internal ghost, of course he is not afraid, if someone really wants to kill him, it is a big deal to explain the situation and do it together.

When Gao Cheng was about to arrive at the border between Yanzhou and Western Yanzhou, Hou Yuan asked Fan Zihu and Daye to go to his camp to discuss matters, and the two did not suspect him.

However, he didn't expect Hou Yuan's group of deep-water wolves to turn against the water, and killed Fan Zihu and Daye Ba and his entourage who entered the camp, and after obtaining the letter of the two, they quickly controlled the situation in Defective Hill.

Later, the heads of Fan Zihu and Ono Ba were dedicated to Gao Cheng, who was marching towards the Blemish Hill.

After confirming his identity, Gao Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

is ready that if Hou Yuan doesn't send him a head again, he will arrange for someone to send a letter to Fan Zihu.

In fact, Gao Cheng originally prepared two plays, and the one that was abandoned was to transfer Hou Yuan, but Hou Yuan did not comply and expelled the assassin who took office in Qingzhou.

Of course, such an approach can also win Fan Zihu's trust, but it damages the prestige of the imperial court.

In the end, King Xiao Gao chose the latter between the authority of the court and the damage to his reputation.

It's not easy to wash white, just put the blame on Cui Jishu, just say that he is good at making claims, and King Xiaogao has brought Cui Jishu with him.

The 20,000-strong army entered the outside of the city of Banqiu, and Hou Yuan went out of the city to greet him.

Although the first two did not have good results, Hou Yuan was indeed an exception.

According to the script given by Gao Cheng, Xiao Cui pleaded guilty to Hou Yuan, saying that in order to test Hou Yuan's loyalty to the imperial court, he used the wrong method, which was offensive, and Hou Yuan also proved his loyalty with practical actions.

Hou Yuan hurriedly helped Cui Jishu up, accusing himself of being too rude in expelling Cui Jishu, and he had to give the beautiful concubine to Cui Jishu no matter what.

Cui Jishu didn't accept it, and Hou Yuan had to give up this idea.

Although Xiao Cui still can't afford the word Xiang, after a version of the peace between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the history books record that the conflict between Hou Yuan and Cui Jishu was a pure misunderstanding.

Hou Yuan was willing to give away the beautiful concubine, but Xiao Cui refused to accept it, how could he be a person who coveted beauty, and the words he asked for that day were just a temptation.

Even questioning prostitutes before entering the city was glorified as a practice for Hou Yuan to let his guard down.

As for Gao Cheng, what does the whole thing have to do with him, he is in Luoyang, and he doesn't know anything about everything, including Yuan Shanjian's conspiracy with Fan Zihu.

Gao Cheng didn't have any bad intentions, he passively endured the persecution of others, and only fought back as a last resort.

When did you see him hurt someone?

After the Gyeonggi army took over the city defense, Gao Cheng entered the city.

In any case, Yanzhou was finally saved, and in history, Lou Zhao led the army to conquer Fan Zihu, and the siege could not be taken for a long time, and then the method of diverting water to irrigate the city was adopted, and he was never able to take the flawed hill.

In the end, he had no choice but to send someone to surrender, but Fan Zihu refused to accept it, but Daye pulled out the water and killed Fan Zihu to surrender to Lou Zhaoxiancheng.

It is precisely because of the difficulty of the flawed hill that Gao Cheng never thought of attacking him, whether it was against He Basheng or Fan Zihu.

If Hou Yuan didn't respond internally, he would also have to find another way to kill Fan Zihu through the undetermined Daye.

However, with Hou Yuan's help, there is no need for Daye.

The first thing he did after entering the Bleaching Hill was to order Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, and Gao Jishi to lead 11,000 people into Southern Qingzhou to exterminate the remnants of Dayeba's party.

Now that Ohno is dead, Nanqingzhou can easily go down, so the credit for picking up for nothing, of course, has to cheap his own henchmen.

In addition, 9,000 Gyeonggi troops were stationed on the hill and vigorously searched for Fan Zihu's henchmen, and many of them fell to the ground.

Gao Cheng was not in a hurry to let Hou Yuan return to Qingzhou, the two ate at the same table and slept in the same bed, and the relationship between them quickly warmed up.

Hou Yuan was also convinced that he had obtained the identity of Gao Cheng's confidant.

Xiao Gao Wang not only had fun with Hou Yuan, he sent the good news to Jinyang and Luoyang, and then asked for credit for Hou Yuan, but also asked Gao Huan for instructions to give Cui Jishu the post of Yanzhou assassin.

This also marked the beginning of Gao Cheng's expansion of power to the east.

Such idle days did not last long, he received a letter of help from Yaoxiong, and he didn't have time to wait for Duan Shao and others to return to the division, so he immediately joined forces with Hou Yuan and went south, preparing to rescue Yuzhou.

As Gao Cheng had predicted, Xiao Yan saw the rebellion in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Southern Qingzhou, and decided to help the field, and ordered Chen Qingzhi to go north from Bai Goudui to attack Yuzhou to support the rebellion in the three states set off by Fan Zihu.

Chen Qingzhi took his generals Li Hongzhi and Wang Dangbo as the vanguard and sent troops to the northern expedition to Yuzhou.

Li Hongzhi and Wang Dangbo attacked Pingxiang City and continued to go north.

Yaoxiong set up an ambush on the way, took advantage of Li Hongzhi and Wang Dangbo's unpreparedness, and the army came out, annihilating Chen Qingzhi's vanguard in one fell swoop, and capturing Li Hongzhi, Wang Dangbo and others.

After the victory, Yaoxiong quickly returned to Yuzhou City to hold on, and this practice also made Chen Qingzhi know Yaoxiong's reality: there were few soldiers and no help.

And the hidden spies also reported in time, Gao Cheng advanced eastward from West Yanzhou, which confirmed Chen Qingzhi's speculation, and while paying attention to the surrounding states and counties, Chen Qingzhi personally led the army to approach Yuzhou City.

Because Nanliang was stationing troops on the border everywhere, Yaoxiong, who was in Yuzhou, knew that it would be difficult for him to have reinforcements in a short time.

Gao Cheng had to go east and force Fan Zihu to ask for help from Daye and Hou Yuan.

Therefore, after annihilating Chen Qingzhi's vanguard and frustrating his spirit, Yaoxiong did not listen to the advice of his generals to take advantage of the victory and then find fighters to attack Chen Qingzhi, and chose to return to the division immediately.

When Chen Qingzhi arrived at the city of Yuzhou, the generals advised Yaoxiong to hold on and wait for help, and Yaoxiong tried his best to overcome public opinion, and decided to take advantage of Chen Qingzhi's unstable foothold and the fatigue of the soldiers, and went out of the city to fight him.

Yao Xiong led 5,000 Gyeonggi soldiers out of the city, and he took the lead bravely, and the Gyeonggi soldiers, who had been recuperating for a long time, were even more invincible in the face of the Liang army.

Yaoxiong suffered two wounds, but he fought to the death, and the morale of his troops was even stronger.

And Chen Qingzhi's shortcomings were also undoubtedly exposed in such a short-handed encounter.

Chen Qingzhi, who can't hold a bow and can't ride a horse, can't be like Yaoxiong, taking the lead in using his martial arts to boost morale, his wisdom is useless in pure fighting, and there is no time for him to use his motivational words.

As a result, the famous general who once led 7,000 people to create the miracle of the Northern Expedition, but in the hand-to-hand encounter, the 30,000 troops under his command were defeated by Yaoxiong's 5,000 people and fled.

Along the way, they were forced to discard countless baggage, but with Gao Cheng's series of actions to clean up the atmosphere, the current Gyeonggi soldiers no longer had the looting of materials during the Battle of Xiangyang and were almost defeated.

Yaoxiong pursued all the way, captured a lot of prisoners, and captured a large amount of supplies.

Although Chen Qingzhi was embarrassed, at least it was better than the miserable situation when the whole army was wiped out and he had to turn into a monk and flee for his life.

Yaoxiong returned to Yuzhou City and immediately sent good news to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng received the good news in the middle of the road, and was so excited that he ate half a catty of beef more than usual.

But he still dragged Hou Yuan to continue to march south to Yuzhou.

Chen Qingzhi coincided with a new defeat, and morale was low.

Come and don't be rude, Old Man Xiao has been making trouble for himself, if he doesn't give him a chance this time, Xiao Gao Wang can't swallow this breath no matter what.

He set his sights on Baigoudui, an important town in Southern Liang.
