Chapter 426: Veteran (4000)
Gao Cheng doesn't care who his grandfather is, Zhang Shiqi is just writing about being conceived in a dream, and there is always no Ban Gu who arranged an NTR plot for Liu Bang's life experience at the beginning of "Book of Han":
'When the thunder and lightning are obscure, my father and princess look at it, and see the dragon on it. has already had a pregnancy, and then gave birth to a high ancestor. ’
It's just a deified monarch, how can these entrepreneurs and founders not have a vision when they were born, how can they seem to be destined for heaven.
Of course, most of them are either full of red light, or purple air, written as the son of a dragon like Bangu, and only a few have to let their husbands witness the conception with their own eyes.
Gao Cheng put down the "Book of Han" in his hand and secretly praised:
'Or Mr. Ban can play.' ’
Seeing that his attention was taken away from the book, the confidant palace man hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, Luan Jia is ready."
"Let's go, it's time to see the sons and daughters in the army."
With that, Gao Cheng got up and walked down the imperial steps.
It was still the general of the escort army, Yao Shi, who led the guards and escorted the car.
Compared with his father, Chengping Wang Yaoxiong, Yaoxiong, Yao Shi does not have much ability, he can be called a tiger father and a dog, but he is loyal and rare, as early as when Yaoxiong was alive, he served as Gao Cheng's side Kuzhi, that is, a personal guard, and he had a close relationship.
After successively transferring four generations of Hu Luguang, Gao Jishi, Wang Sizheng, and Wei Xingqing's cronies to lead the troops in the army, and even the personal guards such as Su Xi Shele and Wei Xingqing were also sent to Shaanxi, Guangzhou, and Liang to serve as training generals, Yao Shi was already the most suitable candidate to serve as a general of the army.
To do escort work, even if the ability is not good, the deputy general can check and fill in the gaps, and the most important thing is loyalty, and this is precisely the most commendable point of Yaoshi.
Gao Cheng looked at Yaoshi's vaguely similar face to his father, and all kinds of memories of Yaoxiong's past came to his heart again.
It has been nine years since Yaoxiong died, and in the years when Gao Cheng was the son, the generals under his command discussed the merits of the war, and Yaoxiong should be the first.
Now Yao Shi is over thirty years old, but he still can't write, Wu can't do it, Gao Cheng is also responsible for this matter, Yao Xiong has guarded Yuzhou for him for nearly ten years, and his wife and children stayed in Luoyang as a hostage, so that Yao Shi has no one to supervise.
"Yao Hujun, take your eldest son into the palace tomorrow for me to see, I have raised a room of princesses, and I also have to have snacks for the talents of each family, so as not to be in a hurry when choosing a son-in-law in the future, and my daughter is not a person."
A huge surprise fell on Master Yao's head, almost knocking him unconscious, Gao Cheng's words couldn't be more obvious, and he intended to let his son Princess Shang.
A daughter marrying a prince may be involved in the risk of seizing the heir, but her son, Princess Shang, is a beautiful thing, after all, except for Gao Xiaocong, the rest of the princes have no sisters of the same mother, and Gao Xiaocong's half-sister Gao Mi has already been promised to Duan Shao's son Duan Yi.
Moreover, there was no provision in the Northern Qi Dynasty that horses were not allowed to hold heavy power, and now Yang Su has an identity as a concubine, and he is still married to Gao Cheng's second sister.
Master Yao knelt on the ground to thank him, Gao Cheng helped him up, patted his shoulder and encouraged:
"The reason why I didn't offer the King of Chengping (Yaoxiong) to the temple court of Taizu is that I have the intention to let him and me be companions after a hundred years and share the incense, and the Yao Protector should also work hard, and it is also a good story for the father and son to enter the temple court together in the future."
Yaoxiong, as an important general under Gao Cheng, naturally will not be as worthy of enjoying the Gao Huan temple court as Lou Zhao, Duan Rong and others, Yao Shi clearly knows that with his father's merits, he will naturally be able to worship Gao Cheng's temple court a hundred years later, but he didn't expect him to have the same expectations for himself, and he was even more moved to tears.
Gao Cheng walked up to Luan and lowered the curtain.
Originally, the Son of Heaven Luan drove mostly in the open air, after all, outsiders couldn't look at the appearance of the Son of Heaven, so how could they show their majesty.
However, Xiao Gao Wang is very afraid of death, for fear that there will be hidden arrows on both sides of the royal road, and there are steel plate inlays on three sides of Luanjia, which are impermeable, and for the sake of beauty, they are also wrapped in satin, so they can't see it.
Outside the entrance and exit curtains, there are three coachmen who act as human shields, which makes people can't help but smack their tongues for King Xiaogao's life.
The Son of Heaven sat down, Master Yao wiped away his tears, raised his head and opened the way in front of the horse.
The carriage drove from Jianchun Gate to the Gyeonggi Army camp outside the city.
In the early years, when the Gao family was in power, Gaocheng Town Luoyang, for his own safety, he set up the Gyeonggi Army camp in Yongning Temple and other temples in the city, and also deliberately moved the Bohai Palace to the vicinity of the temple.
Seventeen years ago, when the soldiers made a fire to make food, they did not run much water, and Yongning Temple was destroyed in a fire, so Gao Cheng also successively re-established the Gyeonggi army camp outside the city, which was wide and convenient for everyone to practice.
The training of the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty was planned and arranged by the Central Military Mansion and the Foreign Military Mansion, and the daily physical training of the soldiers was the mainstay.
Gao Cheng felt that marching and fighting, regardless of tactics, whether it was a long-distance attack, a roundabout, or a short-term handover, flesh-and-blood combat, the competition was the endurance and willpower of the soldiers.
Especially when the battle with the enemy is not too big in numbers, the winner is often the one who is determined and can endure more in the cruel flesh and blood grinding plate.
Gao Cheng was ordered to form the Gyeonggi Army that year, and he put physical training in the first place, and cross-country running with a weight of 50 kilograms was the main event.
Of course, the consumption of physical training is large, and the consumption of supporting this group of soldiers is also large, which is why Gao Cheng has been reducing the number of state and county soldiers in recent years to maintain the scale of more than 300,000 soldiers in Northern Qi today.
When Luan arrived outside the Gyeonggi army camp, the generals had been waiting for a long time, Gao Cheng stepped down from the carriage and greeted everyone cordially, even if a big court meeting was held the day before yesterday and they had just met with the generals, it did not prevent them from being as happy as old friends who had been reunited after a long absence.
When everyone was talking happily, Peng Le suddenly sighed:
"Someone once said to me that King Yongchang (Gao Aocao) is unparalleled in the world, the first in the world in riding battles, and the last general is not convinced, but he has never had the opportunity to ask for advice, and he has never wanted to delay until now.
Gao Aocao has officially entered his fifties in the year of his hair, and his white hair has already popped up between his temples.
Peng Le is the same age as him, and his hair is white.
"If King Chen Liuwang (Peng Le) is interested, His Majesty is watching the battle today, you and I might as well compete in front of the palace."
Gao Aocao is full of fighting spirit, although he is old, but he does not accept old age, these years there has been a dispute about who is the first general under the Gao clan between him and Peng Le, so he proposed a contest to end this controversy that lasted for 20 years.
Peng Le's intestines flowed out, and he could cut them off by himself, so how could a ruthless person who fought with the enemy be intimidated, so he and Gao Aocao begged in front of Gao Cheng to let them fight.
The rest of the veterans such as Hou Yuan, Liu Feng, and Zhu Hunyuan coaxed one after another, all wanting to see this excitement.
Gao Cheng was worried that the two of them would make a mistake, after all, they were both so old, whether they were stabbed or photographed off the horse, they were afraid that their lives would have to be lost here.
can't stand Gao Aocao and Peng Le's mind has been decided, and bluntly said that if Gao Cheng does not allow them to divide the victory in front of the emperor, even in private, they have to make an appointment to fight, and vow to divide the highs and lows.
Gao Cheng had no choice but to order someone to take the three layers of Brie and the outer three layers wrapped on the long pole as weapons for the two to fight.
is still chattering about what traditional martial arts, point to the end, and explain that Gao Aocao and Peng Lemo are going to fight to the death.
As for whether the two of them went to their hearts, Gao Cheng didn't know.
A group of generals rushed out of the venue for Gao Aocao and Peng Yueqing, the martial arts of these two, everyone was convinced, but it was a pity that this fight did not happen twenty years ago, or even ten years ago, when the two were at their peak.
But now, he is in his fifties, just as Gao Jishi and Gao Aocao said before the Northern Expedition when they competed for the coach of the partial division, this age is destined to lose the courage of the year, and the blood has declined.
Gao Jishi is not in Luoyang now, and after returning to his teacher, he was sent to Chang'an to serve as the assassin of Yongzhou.
The original Yongzhou Assassin Wang Sizheng was transferred to Longyou as the Qinzhou Assassin History, the original Qinzhou Assassin Pan Le was transferred to Jinyang as the Bingzhou Assassin History, and Gao Cheng's sister-in-law Liu Honghui was awarded the Qingzhou Assassin History, replacing Zhao Yanshen who entered Beijing.
In the past, it was difficult to repeat the situation that Yaoxiong was guarding Yuzhou for ten years, and the reason why there was this arrangement back then was that young generals such as Hu Luguang, Duan Shao, and Gao Jishi had not yet grown up, and there were only a few people under Gao Cheng's command, and Yuzhou was facing the threat of Chen Qingzhi, and only Yaoxiong could reassure him.
Not only the Guanlong region, but also the Huainan region in the east, which controlled the military power, was also transferred to each other, Duan Shao, the assassin of Shouzhou, was transferred to the history of Hezhou, Gao Yue, the history of the assassin of Hezhou, was transferred to the history of Yangzhou assassination, and the history of Yangzhou was transferred to the history of Shouzhou.
Even if they are all henchmen, they have to be prevented from being in one place for a long time and deep-rooted, such an arrangement is good for everyone.
When Gao Cheng's thinking diverged, Gao Aocao and Peng Le in the field had already exchanged hands, and the cheers around him pulled Gao Cheng's mind back.
Obviously, the two of them did not listen to Gao Cheng's so-called point, and their moves were ruthless, which made Gao Cheng tremble, lest he make a mistake.
People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, since He Liuhun died, Peng Le has followed him for ten years, and Gao Aocao has followed him for 20 years, watching them go from the prime of life to the twilight of life, and there are more dramas, and this friendship is also true.

At least Gao Cheng never took Gao Huan's dying words and the so-called Peng Le's unpredictable mind to heart, and he should be careful to guard against the teachings.
It is true that He Liuhun has the wisdom to know people, but Xiao Gao Wang's vision of people is not bad, Peng Le is really careful, but if you want to say that Gao's status is stable now, he still has the heart of disobedience, that is, he is a sinner with no need.
In the field, the two played against Lily, and they still didn't win or lose, Gao Cheng, a layman, couldn't see through the doorway, and was worried about Gao Aocao and Peng Le, but many generals had already found that the two of them were not so strong as before, and their physical fitness gradually failed.
In the end, it is the twilight of heroes, time is ruthless, and the two bravest generals under the Gao clan have gone downhill.
"Your Majesty, it's better to end with a tie between the two generals."
Ke Zhu Hunyuan, who was standing beside Gao Cheng, said in a low voice.
Gao Cheng looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.
But Zhu Hunyuan explained:
"The two generals are not as strong as they were back then, and they will inevitably miss when they are exhausted."
Gao Cheng was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Master Yao to ring the golden gong.
When the two people who were entangled in the field heard the sound of the golden gong, they also stopped and rode their horses to the front of the stage.
"The last general is fighting, why is Your Majesty singing?"
The two turned over and dismounted, and Gao Aocao asked first.
He is this kind of character, he is on the head, so he cares about the etiquette of kings and ministers.
Peng Le said with regret:
"If there are a few more combinations, the last general will definitely be able to knock King Yongchang off his horse."
Gao Aocao was not happy when he heard this, and pulled the reins of Peng Le's mount, and he was about to fight again.
Peng Le happily responded to the battle, and the imperial history who accompanied him appeared to participate in Gao Aocao and Peng Le's loss of etiquette, which caused the two to look at him angrily.
Gao Cheng first asked Yushi to step back and said with a smile:
"Now it's not a court discussion, it's not a monarch and a minister asking the right question, there is no need to make a big fuss."
said to Gao Aocao and Peng Le:
"The two generals are the liver and gall of me, both are good generals of the country, how can there be losses because of the game, and now they have fought with lilies, and it is difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat, it is better to stop here, I Jinkou Yuyan, given to the two generals with the name of the double wall, so don't fight anymore."
Gao Aocao and Peng Le were overjoyed when they heard the name of Shuangbi, kowtowed and thanked them, and never mentioned the fight again.
The veterans present are still convinced of the title of the two of them, after all, everyone has been together for 20 years, and they are very clear about their abilities, whether it is when they are young or now, it is difficult to walk through fifty times in their hands, which is also the reason why the controversy over the name of the first general under Gao's command is only focused on Gao Aocao and Peng Le.
Of course, it was only a general, not a commander, and even Hou Jing admitted that Gao Aocao and Peng Le were in a rushing battle, just like a wild boar.
In ancient times, wild boars have always been synonymous with bravery, and Zilu, one of the seventy-two sages of Confucius, has accessories wearing the image of wild boars around his waist to highlight his image of warriors.
The veterans are convinced, but the young generals have ideas, but they only have ideas.
They also have their own pride, to be strong and strong, and to win without martial arts, of course, if they really fight, whether they can survive under Gao Aocao and Peng Le is still two words.
After all, the two of them have declined compared to their heyday, how brave these two were during their heyday, Gao Ao Cao with more than ten horses to break the Erzhu Yusheng 5,000 army, known as the horse lance peerless, was compared to the Chu overlord Xiang Yu, known as Xiang Yu reincarnated.
In the original time and space, Gao Huan won a great victory in the mountains, and half of the credit was attributed to Peng Le's lone charge.
It is undeniable that the henchmen and generals of the older generation, such as Gao Aocao, Peng Le, Ke Zhu Hunyuan, Liu Feng, Murong Shaozong, Hou Yuan, etc., are already old, after all, Gao Cheng has also grown from a ten-year-old boy to a middle-aged man who is now thirty years old.
Moreover, the real leaders of the younger generation in the Northern Qi army, such as Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, Gao Jishi and others, are not in Luoyang, and these young generals present now may have courage or strategy, but they are not as brave as Gao Aocao and Peng Le, and it is difficult to compare with Hou Yuan and Murong Shaozong in terms of strategy.
But in the end, the younger generation can have Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, and Gao Jishi to carry the tripod, and Gao Cheng can also satisfy Gao Cheng, which is why he asked his fourth son, Gao Xiaojun, to practice riding and archery, but also to distract from government affairs.
Thinking of his sons, Gao Cheng muttered in a low voice:
It's time to give them a crown." ’
At the beginning, Gao Cheng gave a crown ceremony at the age of ten and was given the word Zihui by Gao Huan.
