Xue Xiuyi's resignation is not surprising, at the age of seventy-eight years old, and now he is sick and bedridden, I am afraid that there is no chance of getting better, in this case, even if he summons the master and apprentice of Quan Yuanqi who is wandering outside, it will not have much effect.

Gao Cheng agreed to resign, and rewarded 3,000 pieces of cloth and silk to comfort his labor.

Xue Xiuyi resigned, Gao Cheng simply set up the Yingzhou Governor's Office, with Gao Yue as the governor of Yingzhou, and if Yuwentai went east, he would be responsible for the defense of Jianghan and wait for the opportunity to support Hu Luguang.

After Gao Cheng arrived in Jiangling, Xue Guyan, the guard of Yiling, went to Jiangling to ask for a meeting, and after getting the promise, Xue Guyan ordered the deputy general to defend the city on his behalf, and he hurried to Jiangling to report to Gao Cheng that he was guarding Yiling during the investigation of the geography and humanities of Chuzhou.

"If Your Majesty has the heart to go west, the last general is willing to be the forerunner!"

Xue Guyan bowed to the ground and took the initiative to ask for help.

"General Xue Gu is up quickly, and I put the general in Yiling, which is to make the general familiar with geography, and in the future, the army will march westward, so that the general can be the vanguard general."

Xue Guyan is undoubtedly a general, when he was under Gao Huan, he galloped his horse and pressed the lance, bravely fighting the sky and thunder, and Li Yuanba had to call him an expert when he saw it.

Compared with Li Yuanba, who was struck by thunder, Xue Guyan was lucky, but his eyebrows and sideburns were scorched by the thunder fire, but this courage cannot be faked.

Gao Cheng's words were not nonsense, when Xue Guyan was guarding Yiling, he was preparing for the future war of Shu, so that Xue Guyan could be familiar with geography.

The reason why Xue Guyan was in a hurry to ask for war was also for the prince.

There are two ways for Gao Cheng's generals with foreign surnames to be crowned kings, one of which is to meet the three elements of the king when the country was founded, that is, Xindu Yuan was born, had the title of county duke, and had outstanding military achievements.

Xue Guyan was Gao Huan's old department when he was guarding Jinzhou, so his background was naturally not a problem.

When the first western expedition failed, he rescued Gao Huan with Dou Tai, and followed him to fight in the south and north, and his military exploits could naturally be satisfied.

Just before Gao Cheng founded the country, Xue Guyan was only a county duke, one level behind, so he didn't catch up with the founding county kings.

The second route is naturally after the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of the military merits of the king, this route no longer requires the identity of Xindu Yuancong.

Xue Guyan was awarded the title of the first duke of the county in the battle to pacify Jiangling, and was immediately arranged to guard Yiling, and there was no chance to make meritorious contributions.

Seeing that a large number of veterans have retreated to the second line, Xue Guyan is not a few years away from the threshold of fifty.

As we all know, any general who rushes into battle will fall out of favor in Gao Cheng's eyes when he is over fifty, and even Gao Aocao and Peng Le are not exempt from vulgarity.

Or this is the protection of Xiao Gao Wang for them, I hope that these veterans who have fought for their Gao family for more than 20 years can enjoy their old age in peace, and they don't end up with a horse leather shroud.

Most of these people have already achieved fame, and they are all willing to accept Gao Cheng's affection, so they retreated to the second line and trained in the rear.

But Xue Guyan, as the only military general who has not been crowned king among the living Jinzhou old people, is no less anxious than Hou Jing before.

Of course, there is nothing to complain about, after all, the standards are clearly placed here.

Of course, the prince of Gaoqi cannot be passed on to future generations, but when he thinks of meeting with a group of old brothers under Jiuquan in the future, the county king who is full of people in the house is really embarrassed by him.

Xue Guyan got Gao Cheng's promise, and went back to Yiling with joy, ready to be the vanguard of his western expedition.

In fact, Gao Cheng didn't need to know the geography and hydrology of Izukawa from Xue Guyan's mouth, and the spies of the Wangsi Department were not dry, and they were already preparing to be familiar with geography before the war after taking Jiangling.

The army left Jiangling and went north along the Han River, but before they reached Xiangyang, Han Liang, the king of Andejun, died of illness in the army.

Han Liang is the brother of Gao Huan's first love Han Zhihui, the uncle of Gao Cheng's seventh brother Gao Lian, and he was also born in the old department of Jinzhou, able to write and martial arts, but when he was guarding Yingzhou, due to corruption and bribery, all the staff members, except for Zhang Yao, were all dealt with by Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng looked at Gao Huan's face, and only drove Han Liang to Bingzhou.

After this incident, Han Liang changed his mind and never had any evil deeds, but Gao Huan died of illness in Chang'an soon after.

After Gao Cheng took power, due to the relationship between Han Liang and the uncle and nephew of the seventh brother Gao Lian, he was more vigilant, and every time he was personally recruited and inspected, he would order Han Liang to accompany him, and occasionally he would be entrusted with the position of governor to participate in the war, but he was never given the opportunity to lead an army as the main general.

He was harsh in his life, but he still had to give him full glory after his death, and King Xiao Gao was never stingy when he posthumously presented the old ministers.

There is no need to repeat the official position posthumously, and it is more Han Rail with a high and happy temple.

In history, Han Rail actually entered Gao Cheng's temple, but let Xiao Gao Wang operate, there is no reason not to put He Liuhun's brother-in-law and him into a temple.

Han Jinming, the son of Han Rail, also toured the south with the army, and Gao Cheng was demoted to the first rank according to the rules, and Han Jinming was the duke of Ande County.

Han Jinming is the most outstanding person in knowledge among the sons of Xungui, Gao Cheng originally wanted to recruit as a concubine, after all, he only has six sons, but his daughters are in groups, and it is not much easier to find Ruyi Langjun for them.

Just ordered Chen Yuankang to investigate secretly, but found that this person is good at drinking and indulging, attracting guests, the cost of a table, tens of thousands of dollars at every turn, living a luxurious life, and the most taboo and frugal.

Such a character is destined to cause Gao Cheng to dislike, of course he understands that everyone has the right to choose a lifestyle, but once the extravagant atmosphere spreads, the consequences are extremely serious.

After death, things can't be managed, at least until the world is unified, this opening cannot be opened, otherwise the noble class will be quickly corrupted.

Since King Xiao Gao came to power, he has also maintained his frugal personality.

Xue Xiuyi resigned, Gao Cheng gave 3,000 horses, Han Liang died of illness, but Xiao Gao Wang did not express it, but only posthumously gave him the mourning glory behind him, and there was no actual material reward at all.

】

Han Jinming complained about this, and when he crossed the Han River into the border of Henan and arrived in Luyang, Guangzhou, it also conveyed Gao Cheng's ears.

It is not a trivial matter to have a grudge against the king, Zhang Tang of the Western Han Dynasty creatively invented the crime of belly slander, even if you didn't say anything, but I think you can also punish if you have a complaint in your heart.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Yan Yi, an honest and upright minister, died like this.

Han Jinming complained to Gao Cheng, but everyone who came to his ears came to report it to Gao Cheng.

When Gao Cheng summoned Han Jinming, he was already in a war of arms.

"But a little gold and silver silk cloth, why complain."

As soon as King Xiao Gao spoke, Han Jinming was frightened and cried for forgiveness.

For the sake of Han Liang's bones, Gao Cheng did not kill Han Jinming, but gave him 3,000 pieces of silk, but this title had nothing to do with Han Jinming, and he was cut to the people and inherited by his brother-in-law.

At the same time, he also secretly released a rumor, saying that Han Jinming's life was too luxurious, which made the Son of Heaven dislike, so he would be used to play the topic.
