There is a poem that once said: There is no party outside the party, imperial thought, no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange.

As the Gao clan, who ruled the three rivers and the six states of northern Xinjiang, it was also full of factions within it.

But the most important thing is the factional division that revolves around the two power centers of Jinyang and Luoyang, or Gao Huan and Gao Cheng's father and son, which is also the inevitable result of the emergence of the special system of military and political duality.

It was not until the sixth year of Taichang (537 AD) that Gao Cheng returned to power in Jinyang and completely gained Gao Huan's trust, so that he was able to contact the Jinyang faction with his permission.

Even if Gao Cheng has his own civil and military team in Luoyang, for the elders of Jinyang, he still needs to hand over the knots, and for the huge Kanto, it is far from enough to rely on the henchmen he cultivated in Luoyang to govern.

Fortunately, Gao Cheng's communication with the elders in Jinyang was easy and pleasant.

Before the establishment of Xindu, Gao Huan was named the king of Bohai, and Gao Cheng was established as the prince of the world, and because of his early participation in military and political affairs, he made great achievements over the years, and there was no heir dispute in the Gao family.

Especially when Gao Huan sent his sons to Luoyang to be raised by Gao Cheng, under such an obvious signal, naturally no one would bet on the rest of the sons.

In the original time and space, although Gao Cheng severely cracked down on Xianbei Xungui, only Hou Jing's brain lacked a string and shouted: 'King Gao is here, I dare not be different; Wang No, I can't work with Xianbei Xiaoer. ’

Hou Jing has been in Henan for more than ten years, and only Sima Shiyun, the assassin of Yingzhou, responded to the city, which can be seen from the desire of the people.

Xianbei Xungui took advantage of Hou Jing's rebellion to lash out at Cui Xian, who had suppressed them, thinking that Cui Xian had persecuted him too much, so he finally forced Hou Jing to rebel and asked to kill Cui Xian to thank the world.

However, as long as Chen Yuankang said something to Gao Cheng and strengthened his beliefs, the long-standing grievances of the Xianbei nobles were still easily suppressed.

Before the original owner took over, Yu had not made any achievements in the military, and the annexation of Huainan was also after he took power, and he still had such prestige, and King Xiaogao has been outstanding in the past ten years, regardless of military and political affairs, and has made great achievements, which has convinced Jinyang Xungui, Han Xian is just one of them.

Han Hyun was lucky, if it weren't for Gao Cheng's butterfly to stir up his wings, he would have been ordered to quell the Naju civil rebellion three years ago, and when he was cleaning up the battlefield, his calf was cut off by the rebels hiding in the corpse, so he died.

Due to the appearance of Gao Cheng, the Eastern Wei Dynasty did not move the capital to Yecheng, and there was no operation to change Sizhou to Luozhou and then change Xiangzhou to Sizhou.

Of course, he himself did not know this.

Gao Cheng was able to indirectly save Han Xian, but he could not change the fate of Cai Jun, the leader of the Quang Ninh system, just as he could only watch his uncle Duan Rong and the general Yuan Zigong die of illness, Cai Jun died of illness four years ago, that is, in the fifth year of Taichang (536), at the age of 42.

As the first non-relative member to follow Gao Huan, Cai Jun, who accompanied him to participate in the Duluo Zhou Righteous Army, received the mourning of the Jiejie, Shizhong, Dudu, Jizhou Assassin Shi, Shang Shuling, and Sikong Gong.

But Cai Jun's death inevitably announced the decline of the influence of the Guangning faction, with him and Pan Le, Han Xian and others as the main members.

It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, and it's human nature to hold a group, and with Cai Jun's death, Han Xian naturally needs to find help again.

So, Zhang Liang, who was appointed by Gao Cheng to serve as the assassin of Liaozhou and was in charge of 20,000 salt soldiers, walked into Han Xian's field of vision, which led to Gao Huan's plan to find people to observe the quality of the salt soldiers, and Han Xian asked for orders to travel.

Limited by the clear division of military and political duality, it is not only difficult for Gao Cheng to contact the civil and military forces of Jinyang, unless it is Lou Zhao, Dou Tai, Wei Digan, Duan Rong and other relatives, it is also difficult for Jinyang generals to contact the Luoyang group.

This is also the reason why Murong Yan's encounter was transmitted back to Jinyang and aroused everyone's envy, just to go to Rouran to welcome a parent, he easily transferred his position relationship from Jinyang to Luoyang.

Now the Gao family is still dominated by Gao Huan, but everyone is sure that the future belongs to Gao Cheng, and with Gao Huan's recent physical condition, this future will not be too long.

After Han Xian came to Dragon City, his enthusiasm also made Zhang Liang secretly hesitate:

When I was in the shogunate, I met him from time to time, but the relationship was not so good.

Gao Cheng had already sent an order for him to lead the army south, Zhang Liang naturally obeyed, although the salt soldiers were reluctant to stay in Longcheng, but Zhang Liang came forward to explain, it was only temporarily stationed, and finally cheered up and set off with Zhang Liang.

Walking outside Yecheng City, Zhang Liang was still hesitating whether to enter the city to pay respects, but he saw Han Xian, who accompanied him to the south, came on a horse again, and it turned out that Gao Huan had already set off for Luoyang two days ago.

Xiangzhou Thorn Shi Du Bi looked at the 20,000 salt soldiers who were detouring outside the city, and his heart palpitated, he felt very panicked when he saw these big-headed soldiers now, all of which stemmed from the advice to Gao Huan some time ago.

Over the years, Gao Cheng has vigorously cracked down on corruption, but he has long agreed with Gao Huan that it will not affect the generals in the army.

Du Bi is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, he can't see that these generals in the army are greedy but can get away with it, so he took advantage of Gao Huan to patrol Yecheng and asked him to fight corruption in the army.

This is not the first time Du Bi has spoken to Gao Huan, Gao just got to the Kanto region not long ago, in order to breed corruption and chaos, Du Bi once suggested Gao Huan to fight corruption in Jinyang, Gao Huan patiently explained with him:

'Yuwentai attracts generals with heavy profits in Kansai, and Xiao Yan attracts scholars and doctors with etiquette and music in Jiangnan, if I am in a hurry to take discipline and law seriously, I am afraid that the generals will defect to the black otters, and the scholars will go to Xiao Yan, what else do I rely on to build the country? Wait a minute, I won't forget that. ’

In fact, not only the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but also the Western Wei Dynasty also had corruption, and the Southern Liang Dynasty was even more rampant, after all, there was a proverb in later generations to summarize: thousands of miles for officials are only for money.

Gao Huan did not deceive Du Bi last time, Gao Cheng cracked down on corruption in Luoyang, and he also received Gao Huan's strong support.

It's just that this time Du Bi wants to expand the target of the attack to the generals in the army, which really annoys him.

Gao Huan ordered the soldiers to draw their bows and arrows, raise their swords and spears, stand on both sides of the road, let Du Bi walk through the middle, and comforted him and said:

It won't hurt you. ’

Du Bi walked over tremblingly, already sweating.

Gao Huan then explained:

'Though the arrow is wound but not shot, and the sword is raised but not slashed, and the spear is in the hand but not pierced, you are terrified. Generals died in a hundred battles, strong men lived for ten years, those generals sacrificed their lives on the battlefield and died for a hundred lives, even if they were greedy, how could they be blamed for this. ’

Du Bi apologized on the spot and said:

'The lower officials are stupid, and today they know this reason. ’

But in the end, this is the root of the disease, every time I see the big head soldier, I always have to recall the knife and gun path I experienced at that time.
