Wang Wei said that Gao Cheng was very vigilant, that is, Gao Cheng entered Xiangyang and stayed in the east of the city, that is, he ordered the Gyeonggi army to take over the east gate of the city, and if there was any change, he could immediately leave the city through the east gate.

And when he went to the Assassin's Mansion for a banquet, there were a thousand guards waiting outside the mansion, if he hadn't brought a few people directly into the mansion to drink, it really made people think that Gao Cheng was going to take the opportunity to bloody the Assassin's Mansion.

For the reminder of the strategist Wang Wei, Hou Jing smiled:

"Don't worry, Yuwentai is not extinguished, Xianbei Xiao'er will not touch me, otherwise there is no need to risk entering the mansion today, appease me, and watch Cui Ning's life and death, and then make plans."

Speaking of Yuwentai, Hou Jing was still afraid, when He Batyue was born and died, he was a Huaishuo person who rushed to Kansai under Gao Huan's order, trying to succeed a group of Wuchuan generals under He Batyue's command and divide one side.

Fortunately, he met Yuwentai halfway and was drunk by him, otherwise he would have been caught by the Wuchuan heroes and sacrificed to the flag when he really arrived in Yangping.

However, I really didn't expect that Yuwentai would have such a great ability to stabilize the situation in Kansai, if it wasn't for a major drought, there would be no chance to achieve a great cause.

Hou Jing said that he was not in a hurry, but in his heart he was actually already thinking that the Gao clan should really unify the north, and when Gao Cheng was about to attack him, he immediately ran south.

After more than 150 years of confrontation between the north and the south, even if Xiao Liang has little heart, his prospects are far better than those of Kansai.

Why not go now?

If he was not a humble man, how could he be willing to go to Nanliang and be ostracized.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Gao Cheng woke up from Lu Niang's house, Hou Jing's hypocritical smile was still echoing in his mind, and he had no appetite for breakfast.

But after thinking about it, maybe Hou Jing also felt the same way as himself, and when he thought of this, Gao Cheng couldn't help but be happy.

The two clearly dislike and wary of each other, but they want to pretend to know and respect each other, which is really disgusting to each other.

But this scene is really torturous for both of them to play to the end.

"Why is the husband laughing?"

Lu Niang wondered.

Now it is not as good as when she was the wife of the Guo family, her father and clan are still prominent, but she can no longer be her backer in the inner courtyard, so since she married into the Bohai Palace, Lu Niang lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, and she was even more respectful to the sisters, but she also gained a good popularity.

"It's okay, you rest at home, I'm still fine."

Gao Cheng said with a smile.

Today he really has something to deal with, led a thousand guards and accompanied the Gyeonggi army of 4,000 people out of the city, with memory, not far away, Gao Cheng found the old land, this is a tomb mountain, more than 600 wild graves, barren grass.

Among the 1,000 guards, Gao Cheng summoned out the old people who had gone through the Battle of Xiangyang back then, and they were less than eighty.

In the guards' capital and the Gyeonggi army, there were many young-faced middle and low-ranking officers who came out with red eyes, Gao Cheng led the old man to bow down and weed, and the young officers wandered among the graves, swept the tombstones, and wept bitterly when they found their father.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Gao Cheng ordered the people to put the sacrifices one by one, and said to the relatives:

"In the second year of Taichang (533), Hu Sichun and Dugu Xin were in turmoil according to Sanjing, Cheng led the army to quell the rebellion, when he was thirteen, and Chen Qing fought outside the city of Xiangyang, when the army was not paid, and the soldiers plundered.

At the critical moment, my cronies under his command, Gao Jishi, led 500 cronies to counterattack the enemy, and Gao Ao Cao led 2,000 cavalry as a successor, so that I had time to reorganize the army formation, so as to retreat from the enemy, and pacify Sanjing in one fell swoop.

"This tomb mountain is buried with all the loyal and brave men who rushed to death under the leadership of Gao Jishi and Gao Aocao......"

It is the same old way to count to everyone to take care of their families, open a school of righteousness, cultivate orphans, and set up a military salary system, etc., which is a cliché, but these soldiers eat this set.

"Long live the general!"

"Long live the general!"

Five thousand people waved their fists and shouted in unison, and even Hou Jing, who was patrolling the city wall, could clearly hear the echoing shouts of the tombs outside the city.

"Xianbei Xiao'er has won the heart of the army so much?"

Hou Jing looked at the tomb mountain and muttered to himself.

On the grave mountain, Wei Xingqing clenched the steel knife at his waist with his left hand, and raised his right hand into a fist again and again, shouting hoarsely.

Gao Cheng's words, even if Xue Hu'er, the old man of the Gyeonggi Army, heard it again after two years, his blood was still boiling, not to mention that it was the first time that Wei Xingqing, who had just joined Gao Cheng's command, heard it.

Looking at Gao Cheng, who enjoyed everyone's revered gaze, Wei Xingqing thought to himself:

Only such a character can make Gao Ji forget his life and dare to lead 500 horsemen to charge an army of 10,000 people. ’

At the age of 17, he dared to chase and kill Erzhu Zhao's tens of thousands of troops with seven cavalry, and he also met with Erzhu Zhao, but as long as he had a calm personality, he couldn't do this kind of thing.

After paying tribute to the heroic spirit, Gao Cheng stayed in Xiangyang for three days, and spent every day in singing, dancing, drinking, and hunting with Hou Jing.

After three days of getting along, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two is so good that they only need to open the altar and swear an oath and form an incense brother.

But because He Liuhun killed Er Zhu Zhao and He Bayue in succession, Gao Cheng and Hou Jing did not take the step of swearing after all.

Of course, Gao Cheng also felt wronged, my surname is Gao, his surname is He, He Liuhun killed his brother, and what did he have to do with my Gao Zihui.

When he went out of Xiangyang, Gao Cheng and Hou Jing walked side by side, Hou Jingtian grew up with short legs, walked a little lame, and often walked with horses.

Walking outside the city, Gao Cheng and Hou Jing drank a send-off wine, and Gao Cheng said with emotion:

"Although we only get along for a few days, we feel that we are like-minded with you, and after this farewell, I don't know when we will see you again."

After that, he took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist, handed it over, and said:

"I have worn this jade for many years, and today I will give it to the envoy and talk about friendship."

Hou Jing took the jade pendant, his excitement was indescribable, and he choked up:

"Back then, Jing didn't know the heroes, and he despised the general, and since the town of Xiangyang, he was often uneasy, how could the general not blame him, and he intersected with each other, although Jing died, it was difficult to repay in case."

Gao Cheng blamed when he heard this:

"How can Hou Yuanjun talk about life and death lightly, although you are flesh and blood, but you are the Great Wall of thousands of miles in the south, please also make Jun Wanwan take care of his body, deter the Liang people, and make them dare not look north."

Hou Jing put down his arrogance:

"But Fanjing guards Xiangyang for a day, even if the Liang people have millions of teachers, they also teach him not to cross the Han River."

"With Hou Zhijun's words, Jingzhou is safe, Cheng is no longer worry-free, and it is Cheng's luck to be assisted by a virtuous minister like Hou Zhijun."

Gao Chenglang laughed.

"The virtuous minister chooses the lord and does things, there is a master like a general, and Jing dares not to do his best."

This scene of the lord and the minister knowing each other was not over until Gao Cheng and Hou Jingyi said goodbye, in a troubled world, if you want to achieve a great cause, you really can't do it if you are thin-skinned.
