Since Zu Ting served under the disciple of Gao Xiaojun, the king of Lu, he was requisitioned by Gao Cheng from the Ministry of Rites to the Criminal Department. Diaphragm

As an official of the Criminal Department, he should not have gone out with the army, this matter has nothing to do with him, and the army has its own military judges to maintain discipline.

It's just that Gao Cheng didn't give up wooing Mrs. Xian, so he recruited Zu Ting to accompany the army.

In the original time and space, the blind old man was able to scare off the Chen army with an empty city, and then he personally rode a horse to chase and kill the enemy, protect the territory and the people, which can be called great wisdom and bravery.

When Gao Cheng was looking for a candidate for an envoy under his account, sure enough, Zu Tingmao recommended himself and was willing to go to Xian Ying's army.

According to the previous plan, if Xian Ying was stubborn, he would instigate Xian Ting's army to attack and kill, even if it could not succeed, it could also cause civil strife in his army, but Gao Cheng still hoped that the Holy Mother of Nanling could give positive feedback.

In the spring of the ninth year of Zhaode (556), on the twelfth day of the first month, Zu Ting returned to Gao Cheng's army, and informed Xian Ying of the news that 40,000 soldiers of Nanchen had defected to meet him.

Immediately led 30,000 cavalry to erect a pontoon bridge to cross the Lian River to the east, and drove to Gaoliang County. Diaphragm

Xian Ying is not only the leader of the slang people of Gaoliang County, but with her hard work for more than 20 years, the surrounding ethnic groups have been annexed, and the area under her jurisdiction extends from Yangjiang in the east, Hepu in the west, Leizhou Peninsula in the south, and Hainan Island, which hangs overseas.

This is also the reason why Gao Cheng insists on pulling her into his camp.

Chen Baxian said that it was too late to make a fortune in the end, when Gao Cheng had already founded the country in the Central Plains, he had just risen as a force, and there was no time for him to integrate the forces under his command.

The slang tribe under Xian Ying was not so much a subordinate as a partner of the Nanchen regime.

Chen Baxian has always only won the support of the slang, rather than really conquering the other party.

Of course, Gao Cheng doesn't have it now, but he will have time in the future to use cultural means, not to conquer by force.

Xian Ying's husband Feng Bao is a Han Chinese, and she herself has been deeply influenced by Han culture, and she is also an active promoter of Han culture in Lingnan. Diaphragm

On the nineteenth day of the first month, after seven days of long-distance attack, Gao Cheng commanded 30,000 cavalry to arrive at Gaoliang City, at this time the city gate was wide open, Xian Ying and her husband Gaoliang County guard Feng Bao, seven-year-old son Feng Fu and Xian Ting and other important figures of the Xian clan were waiting outside the city.

The army gradually approached, Xian Yingwang saw the handsome middle-aged man wearing black armor in the crowd, and knew that this was Gao Cheng, the son of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and hurriedly led everyone to bow down, and explained that the Qi envoy was sent to Guangzhou before, just because he leaked his traces, in order to resolve Chen Baxian's suspicions.

Gao Cheng didn't know whether what Xian Ying said was true or not, but it didn't matter, although the first Qi envoy died, his family also got the compensation they deserved, and his son was also made up for the official.

Xiao Gao Wang easily accepted Xian Ying's statement, he turned over and dismounted, crossed the heavy guards to help Xian Ying up, and said with emotion:

"Don't mention the past, in the future, to govern Lingnan and make the Han slang harmonious, you will rely more on Mrs."

Xian Ying thanked him and got up, and Gao Cheng had many words of comfort to Feng Bao, Xian Ting and others.

Immediately issued an edict, Bai Xian Ying as the governor of Guilin, jurisdiction over the west of Gaozhou, and in the Leizhou Peninsula to create Leizhou, Hainan Island set up Qiongzhou, and North Vietnam Jiaozhou and other places are under the jurisdiction of the Guilin Governor's Office, and the title of Mrs. Song Kangjun, the county prince, 1,500 households. Diaphragm

He also took Feng Bao as the assassin of Gaozhou, gave him the title of Gaoyang County Duke, and 1,200 households, but this was all for the sake of more than 100,000 slang households in his wife's tribe and 40,000 soldiers under his command.

Worship Xian Ting for the history of Leizhou again, add the title of Yangchun County Gong, and eat 1,200 households.

Gao Cheng recruited the seven-year-old Feng servant to him, and he had great intentions in giving titles to Xian Ying and Feng Bao.

A few simple questions were asked at random, and Feng Fu answered them one by one, Gao Cheng stroked his head and proposed to Xian Ying and his wife:

"This son is smart, very heartfelt, I want to match him with the daughter of the clan, and then marry the daughter of the Xian family, the son of the daughter of the clan will inherit the lord of Gaoyang County in the future, and the son of the daughter of the Xian family will be awarded the title of Duke of Song Kang County."

When Xian Ying and Feng Bao heard this, they were grateful, and Feng Fu didn't know why, but they also knelt down with their parents to thank them.

Gao Cheng's arrangement completely captured the loyalty of Xian Ying and Feng Bao, and if Feng Fu wanted to continue his mother's influence in the clan, he would have to marry Xian Nu, that is, the next slang leader after Xian Ying under the female hereditary head system. Diaphragm

And Gao Cheng is also happy to see the combination of slang female leaders and Han scholars, but after Feng Fu, it will be impossible for the Feng family to marry with their clans, and today's move is just to make Xian Ying and Feng Bao and his wife return to their hearts.

This is also the reason why King Xiao Gao obviously has so many daughters, but he prefers to find a woman of the right age to marry from the clan, he can't let his daughter be wronged after marriage and respect other women.

It's one thing to not care about it, but in the end, it's your own flesh and blood.

After a short rest in Gaoliang City, Gao Cheng immediately led 40,000 soldiers with Xian Ying into Guangzhou with him, and Chen Baxian also decided to shrink his forces and fight a decisive battle with the Qi army in addition to sending Yuwentai a letter of more and more urgent words for help.

Due to Xian Ying's rebellion, Gao Cheng had almost reached the city of Guangzhou, and there was no point in blocking the Lingnan passage at this time, so he simply took advantage of the Northern Qi Fourth Route Army to find a way to defeat Gao Cheng's headquarters that invaded Guangzhou, and maybe there would be fighters.

As Chen Baxian reduced his forces to rescue Guangzhou, the armies of Gao Jishi, Duan Shao, and Wu Mingche moved between the mountains of Nanling for several months, and finally walked out of this mountain after defeating some of the defenders.

Although the three of them were concerned about the safety of the king, and learned that Chen Ba would return to help first, Duan Shao and the others also wanted to hurry up and support Gao Cheng. Diaphragm

It's just that most of the three of them are foot soldiers, and they have been attacking fortifications for a long time, and the soldiers are tired, and when the manpower is finally exhausted, they have to take a short rest.

At the same time, after learning that Gao Cheng had broken into Lingnan, Yu Wentai, who felt that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, could no longer care about the threat of Chuzhou, and led the main army south, moved to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and confronted Hu Luguang.

Clashes broke out between the two sides from time to time, and Hu Luguang was at a disadvantage with few troops, and just when the western defense line was struggling, Yuwentai suddenly withdrew his troops again.

Hu Luguang thought there was a deception at first, and he didn't dare to relax, but after sending a sentry to investigate, he found that it was really a retreat, not a trick.

Just when Hu Luguang was puzzled by this, the detailed work lurking in Shu sent back information, and also revealed the real reason for the withdrawal of the Western Wei army: Yuwentai was seriously ill.

When Gao Cheng heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh, this year is 556 AD, and it is also the year of Yuwentai's death.
