156. Fiction and Reality

When Gao Cheng entered Yuzhou City, it was already the alternation of autumn and winter, and the climate changed, making people obviously feel the cold.

After learning of Chen Qingzhi's offense, Gao Cheng was worried that the rescue war would be delayed for a long time, so he collected a batch of winter clothes in Yanzhou, and ordered someone to send them back to Luoyang quickly.

After arriving in Yuzhou, I found that I had done useless work.

Chen Qingzhi abandoned his baggage and fled, and Yaoxiong was able to have a bumper harvest, including the winter clothes prepared by the Liang army for the Northern Expedition.

In order to thank Chen Qingzhi for his gift, Gao Cheng specially ordered someone to send a letter to Bai Goudui:

'General Wei Cheng sent Liang General Qingzhi: Xiangyang is goodbye, I haven't seen him for several years, is the general okay?

'Cheng to Yuzhou, suddenly encountered severe cold, the troops lacked food and clothing, fortunately the general worked tirelessly, delivered supplies, so that my soldiers did not suffer from hunger and cold, received this kindness, Cheng should mention 100,000 soldiers, personally to Bai Goudui to thank the general.

There is a nursery rhyme that says: Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes.

'The general is a philistine, has an immortal name, is hated by others, and is killed with nursery rhymes, and his intentions are so vicious.

'The general used to go on the Northern Expedition, and how could he have fought with a famous general, and Cheng should be the general's name.

At that time, Ge Rong rebelled in Hebei, Xing Gao gathered in Qingzhou, and the general was lighter than the Luoyang court, so he had a strategy to pacify Ge Rong and Xing Gao, but there was no defense against the general's move.

'The change of Heyin, the king of Henan has many defections, the people are afraid, the general borrowed the name of Yuan Hao, recruited the rebellion, crossed the river for thousands of miles but there was no fee, and he was lucky to enter Luoyang.

'When the famous teacher and the general went south, the general became a monk, panicked like a lost dog, often laughed and talked for the north, Cheng also heard of it, but never laughed at people.

'The kid is ignorant, growing up in the north, bathing in the wind, but he also knows that the body is skinny, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also.

The southerners boasted of being upright, but the general did not know the scriptures, and he heard that the general was too weak to bow his horse. If the text is not enough, the military is not enough, how can the general enjoy a good reputation? It is better to return to the hometown to farm, but also to preserve the name festival, to call yourself a famous general, and to talk about life.

I hope the general will listen to and believe these words. ’

Chen Qingzhi distributed Gao Cheng's letter to his subordinates to circulate it to show that he was not in private contact with Gao Cheng.

How could he know before opening the envelope that this was Xianbei Xiao'er mocking himself in a weird way.

When the generals read the letter, everyone was indignant, and they all asked for orders to cut off the messenger and sacrifice the flag first, and then send troops to attack Yuzhou.

Chen Qingzhi said with a smile:

"This Xianbei child provoked the law, how could I fall for his scheme, and I gave him a women's skirt that day, Xianbei Xiaoer happily accepted it, and never embarrassed the messenger, if I kill the envoy in anger today, doesn't it mean that the general's strength is not as good as Xianbei Xiaoer."

Hearing this, the panicked envoy relieved his heart, and sure enough, as the general said, Chen Qingzhi would definitely bring up the matter of the women's skirt again, and it would not hurt his life.

Chen Qingzhi ordered the messenger to be sent out of the city, and let the generals disperse, while he took Gao Cheng's letter and pondered.

At the beginning of the rescue of Sanjing, Chen Qingzhi chose to defeat Gao Cheng, who was in charge of the army for the first time, between Gao Cheng and Hou Jing, out of contempt.

Chen Qingzhi will not make such a mistake again.

Chen Qingzhi attaches great importance to Gao Cheng, and even studies every time he uses troops, after all, with the power of the Gao clan, there will be a day when the country will be usurped, which is too familiar to them in the south.

After studying Gao Cheng's use of soldiers, it is easy to know his style of acting: he is good at using strategies.

Playing with He Batsheng in applause is Gao Cheng's proud work.

Now he sent a letter to himself, in which he said that he wanted to raise 100,000 soldiers to go south to Baigoudui, what was the meaning of this, which is worth Chen Qingzhi's deep thought.

In the end, he wanted to deceive himself into transferring troops to Bai Goudui, so as to avoid the truth and attack other places.

still let himself mistakenly think that he was just using Bai Gou Pile as a cover, so as to relax his vigilance, but in fact, he really wanted to point his soldiers at Bai Gou Dui.

This made it difficult for Chen Qingzhi to choose.

The initiative is not in his hands, so he can only guess the other party's intentions, but although Gao Cheng is young, he is an old fox.

Gao Cheng didn't have Chen Qingzhi's troubles, he had made up his mind at the beginning, he only had one goal for Bai Gou, and Chen Qingzhi was not a roundworm in his stomach, so how could he know his intentions.

Gao Cheng did not hide it, and gathered troops in Yuzhou City, waiting for Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, and Gao Jishi to go south.

Nanqingzhou Thorn Shi Daye was awarded the head, and the army was also brought to Yanzhou by Daye, how could the empty Nanqingzhou be hard to live with Duan Shao and others.

Now the three people who pacified Nanqingzhou went south to Yuzhou under the starry night after receiving Gao Cheng's military order.

Even Murong Shaozong, the assassin of Yingzhou, was ordered to come to converge.

In early October, in early winter, Murong Shaozong, Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, and Gao Jishi's subordinates successively arrived in Yuzhou City.

In addition to the 5,000 troops of Gao Aocao's department, the remaining 29,000 men of the Gyeonggi army were all in Yuzhou, and 5,000 troops of Hou Yuan, 5,000 soldiers of Qingzhou Prefecture, 5,000 soldiers of Yaoxiong Yuzhou Prefecture, and 5,000 soldiers of Yingzhou Prefecture of Murong Shaozong.

A total of 34,000 soldiers and 15,000 soldiers from prefectures and counties.

Such a formation naturally can't hide from Liang Jun.

When Chen Qingzhi convened the military council, a general pointed out that Gao Cheng had mobilized various Gyeonggi troops, but only Gao Aocao's troops had not been mobilized, and his intention was to be in the west and not in the east.

This sentence attracted the approval of many people, if Gao Cheng wanted to use troops to the east, he would naturally transfer Gao Aocao with him, but he missed him, plus he bluntly said in the letter before that he wanted to attack Bai Goudui, but I am afraid that he really deliberately deceived the Liang army to gather in Bai Goudui, and then went west to join Gao Aocao and go south.

Gao Aocao guards Guangzhou, south of Guangzhou is Sanjing, and Sanjing has Hou Jing's army to guard Xiangyang, if he really falls into Gao Cheng's treacherous scheme to make Jiangling empty, and Gao Cheng and Sanjing and Guangzhou, the four state soldiers and the state and county soldiers go south, Jiangling is not in danger.

The generals asked for their lives and asked Chen Qingzhi to return to Jiangling.

Chen Qingzhi was unmoved, if Gao Cheng's letter before made Chen Qingzhi unable to figure out his direction, then now Chen Qingzhi has determined that Gao Cheng's plan must be in vain.

Allowing Gao Aocao not to be recruited on the west side may seem like a flaw to others, but Chen Qingzhi knows that this must be deliberately exposed by Gao Cheng to them.

Combined with the previous letter, it was to ask Liang Jun to think that he was going to attack the west, so as to shift the focus of defense to Jiangling and relax the defense of Baigoudui.

And the so-called strategy of attacking the east and the west is the biggest flaw in Chen Qingzhi's view.

He studied Gao Cheng for a long time, and unlike ordinary generals, Gao Cheng cherished his soldiers very much, and even preferred to delay time, spend more money and food, and reduce the casualties of soldiers.

And Jiangling is unusual, it does not only connect Jiangdong and Shudi.

Once occupied by the Wei army, the Yangtze River was no longer exclusive to the Liang people.

This also means that even if Gao Cheng takes Jiangling, he will face a fierce counterattack by the Liang army, which is related to the life and death of the country.

For Gao Huan, attacking Guanxi and unifying the north is his first goal, otherwise he would not have sent a mission south to negotiate peace.

And will Gao Huan let Yuwentai go alone and support Gao Cheng to fight a long-lasting battle with the Liang people in Jiangling?

The answer is obvious.

Based on the above, Chen Qingzhi finally determined Gao Cheng's plan.

He decided to order someone to report to Jiangling and ask the defenders to be on guard, while he still led the army to guard Baigoudui and was unmoved.

And Gao Cheng, who was in Yuzhou, didn't expect Chen Qingzhi to be easily deceived.

After resting for a period of time, Gao Cheng stayed in Yuzhou.

He personally led 5,000 soldiers from Duan Shao's department, 10,000 soldiers from Murong Shaozong's army, 10,000 soldiers from Hou Yuan's army, 3,000 soldiers from Gao Jishi's and Hu Luguang's divisions, as well as 8,000 soldiers under his command and 1,000 personal guards, with a total of 35,000 foot cavalry, known as 100,000, and marched westward in a big way.

The news reached Bai Goudui, and in the face of the admonitions of the generals, Chen Qingzhi used his prestige to subdue the generals.

Gao Cheng joined Gao Aocao in Southern Jingzhou and continued westward across the Han River to Xiangyang.

Bai Goudui's generals couldn't sit still any longer, and once again jointly hoped that Chen Qingzhi would rescue Jiangling.

Chen Qingzhi still withstood the pressure.

He was convinced that Gangneung was a fortified city, and Gao Cheng could not easily take it, and even if he fought with a large number of casualties to take Gangneung, it would be impossible to defend it.

Gao Cheng couldn't have done such a stupid thing.

But Chen Qingzhi's sobriety does not mean that everyone is sober.

Chen Qingzhi's ability to suppress Bai Goudui's generals does not mean that he can suppress the princes of Jiankang and Jiankang.

Gao Cheng led the army westward, claiming to be 100,000, and the troops reached Jiangling, and this matter reached Jiankang and immediately caused the worries of the clan ministers.

Everyone understands the importance of Jiangling, and in the face of Chen Qingzhi's defense, no one dares to bet that although Baigoudui is an important town in Huaibei, how can it be compared to Jiangling City, which controls the Yangtze River.

The loss of the important town of Huaibei is just a pity, and the loss of Jiangling is in danger of losing the country.

In the face of the ministers competing to play, Xiao Yan, who trusted Chen Qingzhi, was also shaken, and he sent an envoy to force Chen Qingzhi to return to Jiangling, saying that he would let Yang Yaren rush to Bai Goudui, preside over the defense, and ordered Chen Qingzhi to set off immediately.

When Chen Qingzhi got the edict, he couldn't help but sigh, this is Gao Cheng's yang conspiracy, and he must be saved by attacking the enemy.

Under the urging of the angel, Chen Qingzhi led the army out of Baigoudui, he was also careful, worried that Gao Cheng would set up an ambush halfway, so he crossed the Huai River to the south and marched in the territory of Nanliang.

And when he was halfway through, he still didn't hear the news of Gao Cheng's strong attack on Jiangling, which was self-evident.

Chen Qingzhi only hoped that Yang Yaren could enter Baigoudui before Gao Cheng returned to the army.

However, to Chen Qingzhi's disappointment, Yang Yaren did not catch up, and when he arrived at Baigoudui, the city had already fallen, and the Wei flag was planted at the head of the city.

It's not that Gao Cheng marched fast, but that there was someone else who captured Bai Goudui, it was Yaoxiong who was left in Yuzhou by Gao Cheng.

Yaoxiong seized a large number of Liang army materials under the city of Yuzhou, including robes.

He led the troops to pretend to be reinforcements, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders to attack Baigou in one fell swoop.

Capture the town general Gou Yuanguang alive and capture 2,000 defenders.

Yang Yaren was worried about Gao Cheng's return to help, so he had to retreat from the army, and with the fall of Bai Goudui, Jiangling was unharmed and spread to Jiankang, as well as the news that Gao Cheng returned to the east and settled in Bai Goudui.

The princes of Jiankang were all silent and speechless, and Xiao Yan also sighed in the face of Chen Qingzhi's performance that day.

Dazhang didn't hold it back, and there was still nine o'clock in the evening.
