Gao Cheng immediately landed on the north bank of the Yellow River Bridge, and the soldiers crossed the river one after another under his nose, and the river flowed endlessly.

A group of civil and military officers with the army gathered around him, including Hu Luguang, Murong Shaozong, Gao Aocao, Hou Yuan, Liu Feng, and Zhang Su, Wang Jun, Wang Hong, and others, as well as Feng Zihua, the secretary of the military department.

Auxiliary Zuo Gao Huan for ten years, but hoped that Zhang Su, who switched to Luoyang, finally got what he wanted, and when Gao Huan stopped in Luoyang this time, he was allowed to assist Zuo Gao Cheng. (See Chapter 219 for details)

Wang Jun, who was once sent to Yubi by Gao Cheng and served as Dou Tai's staff officer with the army, and trampled on the seedlings of the Western Wei Dynasty has already been transferred back to his side.

And Wang Hong, who was under Gao Cheng's command together with Wang Jun, has been assisting Dugu Yongye to guard Tongguan all these years.

Since he had the idea of deciding the north in a war, he naturally had to bring all the brave generals and wise men who could follow him except for those who stayed in the Kanto.

The reason why Feng Zihua joined the army was also because he had excellent strategic vision.

Before crossing the river, a speech promised heavy benefits to the soldiers, so although they first went to Jinyang and then to Kansai, thousands of miles away from home, the Gyeonggi army, both the generals and the soldiers, were all in good spirits.

Who doesn't know that Gao Cheng governs the army with the heaviest letter.

Cronies are the governor Xingqing, as well as Su Xi Shele, Xue Hu'er and other Ku Zhi swords tightly guarded Gao Cheng's left and right, since they joined the guard, Gao Cheng often rewarded, extremely favored, and the little Gao Wang who spared his life has always been very generous to Ku Zhi's personal guards.

But an inhumane order was issued, and if the monarch was assassinated and died, he would be buried in the coffin.

However, no one ignored his decision, after all, raising soldiers for a thousand days was used for a while, Gao Cheng treated Ku Zhi so kindly, and he couldn't save himself, so why should he spare his life.

With 35,000 Gyeonggi troops and 1,000 personal guards, such a large-scale march could not hide from people, and they didn't even think about hiding it, otherwise they would have chosen to go out of the city at night while it was dark, rather than letting a group of relatives and powerful people go out of the city in broad daylight.

As Gao Cheng led the army north, the rumors that had been circulating for a long time were also confirmed, unlike the first western expedition Gao Huan's lone army, this time the Gao family went into battle with father and son.

Whether it was Southern Liang, Western Wei, or even Rouran, who had just made friends with his relatives, the spies took action one after another to pass on the news, and everyone knew that a big war was about to start to decide whether the Gao clan could unify the north.

The building near the water was the first to get the month, and Yuwentai was the first to get the news.

confirmed that the Gao family's father and son jointly sent troops, and the melancholy lingered between Yuwentai's eyebrows.

The great man once said that it is necessary to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically.

Yuwentai and his cronies ridicule Gao Huan on his lips every day, and in his mouth, He Liuhun can have today's achievements, all by luck.

But you must know that Gao Huan has led the army so far, and has only lost the battle of the Western Expedition, whether it is the control of Hebei in the first battle of Guang'a, or the battle of Hanling to lay the hegemony, the surprise attack on Xiurong to completely sweep away the forces of the Erzhu clan, and then the suppression of the Hexi thief Douling Yin Li, the leader of Jihu Liu Lisheng, all the attacks are invincible, and he is really regarded as a mediocre talent, and the only one who makes jokes is himself.

The previous big victory, relying more on the whole army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to light the enemy, but after suffering a loss three years ago, how could he fall into the same pit again, Gao Huan and his 200,000 Bingzhou Hu have been precipitated for three years, and they have already washed away the original arrogance, and they are already a headache opponent.

Coupled with Gao Cheng, the little fox, and the Gyeonggi army under his command, this battle is clearly embarrassing his Yuwen Black Otter.

In the case that the quality of the soldiers is not much different, since ancient times, the weak have defeated the strong, and only the trick has been formulated, but the plot needs to be formulated by combining factors such as time, location, and people, and it is impossible to recruit people in Jinyang in the Gao family, and Yuwentai, who is in Chang'an, came up with a strategy to defeat the enemy with a pat on his head.

The strategy of defeating the enemy can be discussed on the eve of the decisive battle, and the army and Chinese and armed forces can be discussed together, but it is urgent to accumulate troops in Chang'an.

Fortunately, Yuwentai had already prepared, and the envoys sent by the Western Wei Dynasty to Tuyuhun brought back good news.

Yuwentai didn't expect Tuyuhun to send troops to help, he just wanted to get the promise that the other party would not stab him in the back, and the envoy also made the truth clear to Tuyuhun Khan Quarlu.

Although Tuguhun made peace with the Eastern Wei Dynasty and also received Gao Chengyue's promise of being a brotherly country, it was better to be adjacent to the Western Wei than the powerful Eastern Wei.

No one wants to pin their safety on the verbal promises of others.

After thinking for a while, Kwalu immediately withdrew all the soldiers on the border between Tuyuhun and Western Wei to show his sincerity and allow Yuwentai to calmly transfer the troops from Longxi to Guanzhong.

The Western Wei soldiers were organized into six armies, with Zhao Gui, Li Hu, Li Bi, Yu Jin, Dugu Xin, Hou Mo and Chen Chong as the generals of the Zhu State, and they were actually commanded.

There are two generals under the command of each Zhu general, a total of twelve generals; There were two Kaifu under the command of each general, for a total of twenty-four Kaifu; Each Kaifu has two Yitong, a total of 48 Yitong;

Yitong led 1,000 troops, Kaifu led 2,000 troops, the general led 4,000 troops, and the general Zhuguo led 8,000 troops, with a total of 48,000 troops in the six armies.

After Yu Wentai's reckless military expansion some time ago, he transferred the newly recruited soldiers to Lantian Pass and Xitong Pass to garrison, and transferred all the original state and county soldiers on the southern and central lines and Longxi Prefecture to Chang'an, preparing to deal with the war on the northern front.

Chang'an is expected to have 48,000 soldiers, and no less than 100,000 soldiers from California County, and the total number of troops can reach 150,000, at least in terms of troops, it will not be much less than Gao's 236,000 Western Expeditionary Army.

But the actual situation inside is only 48,000 full-time soldiers, but Yuwentai can be regarded as hollowing out his family.

Even if this battle is won, the results will not be abundant, so that Gao Huan will retreat calmly, and the finances of the Western Wei Dynasty will go bankrupt.

Xiao Yan got the news much later than Yuwentai, when the autumn harvest was coming to an end, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty had also begun to recruit people.

With such a big move by the Gao family's father and son, their ambition is also obvious, that is, to seize the opportunity that Rouran may not interfere and completely establish the hegemony of the north.

Xiao Yan didn't understand what the upfront cost was, but before the Western Wei Dynasty was hit by the disaster, he really tightened his belt to support Yuwentai.

Before the Western Wei Dynasty recovered, he must continue to help, otherwise the food that rescued Yuwentai back then would not be wasted, not to mention that the Southern Liang had already determined the national policy of supporting the Western Wei Dynasty and balancing the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

In Xiao Yan's imagination, once the Western Wei Dynasty gained a firm foothold and could stalemate with the Eastern Wei Dynasty for a long time, he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight in the south of the Yangtze River, and be invincible, and even wait for the two northern countries to fight for many years, and when the soldiers and people were exhausted, he could take advantage of the Northern Expedition and complete the unification.

But Xiao Yan himself really doesn't have such ambitions, he is really old, and he can only be handed over to future generations to complete.
