Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 140 Gao Cheng's Fame

Before the tribe crossed the Huaihe River, Xiahou Kui (kuí) had already received the news of the fall of Xiaohuangcheng.

But he had already been mentally prepared. If the state and county soldiers could count on him, he would not work hard to raise more than [-] private soldiers and train them strictly.

I think that before coming to Xuzhou, the changes in Xuzhou, and Yang Yaren, the governor of Qiaozhou and the governor of Qiaozhou's military forces, were tricked into going to the east front. It was Gao Cheng or his staff.

Now in Nanliang there are two opinions on Gao Cheng, one is that he is really talented, the other is to show off his civil and military team.

In Xia Houkui's view, no matter what the situation is, this Luoyang Jingji Army should not be underestimated.

Although Chen Qingzhi failed to rescue the three thorns two years ago, and the North played up Gao Cheng's defeat of Chen Qingzhi, everyone knows the real situation inside.

The combat power displayed by the Gyeonggi Army is uneven, with five hundred horses recoiling bravely, but more people forget discipline when they see the supplies, and wantonly snatch them.

Xia Houkui originally looked down on such an army.

The two battles of conquering Yanzhou and Xuzhou were more of a strategic effect.

But last year, the Gyeonggi Army's 480 riders raided [-] miles in four days, and the news of the successful rescue of Dou Tai spread to the south. Xiahou Kui no longer dared to underestimate this army.

Without strict discipline and high morale, it is impossible to accomplish this feat by one person and one horse, and only relying on cattle and mules to transfer.

It can be seen that after two years of hard training and successive victories, the army has already completed its transformation.

Of course, he was also jealous because it wasn't soldiers, but war horses.

Our Xiahou family has worked hard for decades, and there are only [-] war horses in the trilogy. In Dicheng’s rescue, almost [-] war horses were wasted, and then turned around and got [-] war horses from my father Di Huan. No reason to go.

Thanks to the friendship between the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty in the later period, it was not difficult to communicate with each other, and Gao Aocao was able to know the reality of the Gyeonggi Army.

But the weakness of the Gyeonggi Army did not frighten Gao Aocao, I am a famous person.

At the age of 11, Mo Zhidong participated in the Xiao Yan uprising with his father and brother. Before the establishment of Nanliang, he led Pei Sui, who was also known as Wei Pei with Wei Rui, in battle, and performed military exploits.

Before the death of his elder brother Xia Houdan, Gao Aocao succeeded him as the governor of Yuzhou, granted envoys Chijie, and supervised the military forces of Yu, Huai, Chen, Ying, Jian, Huo, and Yizhou.

Since the eight famous generals who participated in the Battle of Zhongli, Wei Rui, Pei Sui, and Cao Jingzong passed away, Gao Aocao and Xia Houkui are the mainstays of Nanliang today.

Gao Aocao predicted that the Gyeonggi soldiers would transfer from the rescue of Nanjing to Qiaozhou. They must abandon the infantry and lead the heavy cavalry to attack alone. So when they received the news, they didn't even call up a state and county soldiers, and only brought private troops. Thousands of people on foot and on foot crossed the Huaihe River to the north in order to rescue them.

Now that the Great Yellow City has fallen, Gao Aocao also turned eastward to join forces with Yang Yaren who returned to rescue the Great Yellow City.

Yang Yaren, courtesy name Xiaomu, was born in Taishan Juping (Tai'an, Shandong). He and Yang Kanyu, who was also from Taishan County, were young generals who rebelled against Wei and surrendered to Liang.

Although since the end of Emperor Xiaowen, the Xianbei nobles headed by the Tuoba clan have all changed their surnames to Han. For example, the clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty changed their surname from Tuoba to Yuan.

But for Yang Yaren, Yang Kan and others, the southern Han regime has no sense of belonging.

It’s just that the time has passed and the world has changed. When we rebelled against Wei, we would have expected that no one would be able to flexibly switch between the two identities of Xianbei and Han.

Di Huan was born as a Han criminal in Huaishuo Town, gained the allegiance of Daibei Xianbei, and rose from the bottom of the world. Such a thing is too fantasy, who would have thought of it.

Such background also gave Di Huan, Di Cheng father and son very little convenience. When we need to be from Xianbei, one is called He Bahun, and the other is the eldest son of Xianbei.

When we need to be Han people, we always regard ourselves as the children of the Bohai low family, dare to call the king of Dadi and say Xianbei Daer, I can talk to him.

However, the two fathers and sons focused on equality, Di Huan was more inclined to Xianbei, while Gao Cheng and the original owner were more inclined to Han people.

Dadi Wang’s Han nationality is more important, because I am not a time traveler, and the original owner is because I am far away from the small Xianbei camp in Jinyang. I have been in Yecheng for more than ten years, and a small number of people I have contacted and relied on are Han scholars. people.

That is also what many people think that with the attack on the nobles of Xianbei and the assassination of Gao Cheng who was close to the Han people, the Sinicization efforts of the Gao regime also declared victory.

Of course, today's Gao Cheng is in the mood to care about those things.

Knowing that Gao Aocao and Yang Yaren retreated westward together and forced them towards the Great Yellow City, that made me quite relieved.

The pawns followed by Murong Shaozong and Wang Sizheng may rush to help the Great Yellow City in a short period of time.

All he can rely on is seven thousand cavalry.

In fact, Gao Cheng's wishful thinking hasn't been calculated very well. As mentioned later, I didn't plan my horsepower to attack Qiaozhou.

However, he still ordered the courier to carry the documents and rush to Xuzhou to deliver the letter.

The governor of Xuzhou received the order from Gao Cheng, and immediately provoked a frontier quarrel, attracting Yang Yaren to lead the army to the east, and then let Gao Cheng find the right opportunity to take advantage of Qiaozhou's enrichment and easily attack Dahuang County, the prefectural government.

Did I forget that Gao Aocao on the south bank of the Huaihe River would go north to support, and even decided to go out of the city to defeat the two groups of troops one by one.

But Gao Aocao followed Gao Cheng's script. Did I take the time to gather troops, and with only [-] cavalry, I crossed the river and went down the river first. When I learned that the Great Yellow City had fallen, I gave Gao Cheng a chance.

Only then did I know that Gao Aocao was crossing the river, and I hadn't made a detour to the east to meet Yang Yaren, so I decided to continue going north and take a look at the Great Yellow City.

Mo Zhidong figured out the deployment of Gao Cheng's military force through the friendship between Wei and Liang, and how could Gao Cheng know anything about the troops of Gao Aocao and Yang Yaren.

Yang Yaren's [-] people may have been mixed with thousands of state and county soldiers, but Mo Zhidong's [-] plays are all truly elite.

When Gao Cheng was happy, he invited the generals to discuss countermeasures.

"Now Gao Aocao and Yang Yaren have combined [-] troops to retreat to the west, few of them are elite, what do you think you should do?"

As soon as the voice fell, no one raised his voice and answered:

"Little governor, there is no plan for the end!"

Di Cheng used to follow the sound to look. I was too busy with Chen Qingzhi's voice, so I couldn't help but blurted out in surprise:

"He didn't count?"

The rosy-faced Mo Zhidong did it. He burped and said:

"Why does the little governor value you!"

Gao Cheng hurriedly made amends, and then thought of watching the Eight Kingdoms when he was a child, and Zhang Fei could also count on Yan Yan, how could our family's eldest brother be so dizzy.

Can't wait to say:
"I also ask Zitong to teach you quickly."

All eyes, including Di Aocao, had already fallen on Chen Qingzhi.

Enjoy being the focus of the audience, Chen Qingzhi said confidently:
"Just give you seven thousand horses, and you will take the heads of Gao Aocao and Yang Yaren for the little governor."

Di Cheng was silent, and I glanced at Di Aocao, as if I had no intention of asking.

Di Aocao nodded to me, expressing his approval.

Gao Cheng recruited several personal guards, pointed at Mo Zhidong and said:

"The belt goes up to sober up the hangover.".

Mo Zhidong who was dragged up was still screaming loudly:
"Little governor, why did you use your tricks!"

This is a resigned look, very much like Wei Yan.

Di Cheng's face turned even paler, and even Di Aocao covered his face.

If the incident was to be spread, if Gao Aocao praised him casually, would he let his white fans set up a conspiracy of Rhubarb County?

Gao Cheng didn't have another reason to win.

It was very unusual for generals to drink alcohol in the army at that time. During the Battle of Shayuan, Peng Le didn't leave the battlefield drunk and didn't wake up until he was stabbed until his intestines flowed out.

That alcoholic Chen Qingzhi, Gao Cheng also has a way with me, he can always promulgate the military law, behead the drinkers in the camp, and then behead Ma Di with tears.

This low Ao Cao can exchange one with himself on the spot.

Besides, Chen Qingzhi was also a poor man. In the battle of Xiangyang, if he had tricked the foolish and cowardly Chen Qingzhi into leading seven hundred cavalry to charge, forcing Gao Ao Cao to count casualties and turn around to rescue Gao Cheng.

Of course, Gao Cheng himself is not responsible for what happened today.

For things like discussing strategies, I should call Chen Qingzhi. If Di Aocao's status is there, I should even call Di Aocao.

That's it for the illiterate brother Mang, can you count on us for brain matters?
When Chen Qingzhi heard Gan's cry, Gao Cheng asked everyone for their opinions.

Diao Cao didn't know himself, he would yell like the drunk Chen Qingzhi, if I had an idea in my mind, I would definitely speak up.

When everyone was thinking, Gao Cheng suddenly said:

"There is no cloud in the art of war: encircle it if ten, attack it if seven, and double it"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gao Cheng:

"You also understand "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Xiao Xian said directly what should be done."

Gao Cheng was also annoyed, and continued:
"It takes ten times as much to encircle and annihilate. Although Liang's army does not have [-], it is only seven times your army, and there are fewer infantry. The retreat and initiative are all in the hands of the little governor. Why does the little commander sit and guard the isolated city?"

When Gao Cheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and I said without guessing:

"Mr. Xiao is saying that you can't"

That time it was the narrow-minded Gao Cheng's turn to swallow Low Cheng back, I smiled and said:
"Wrong! Exactly!"

The two of them, Xiaoxiu, don't have a tacit understanding between each other, so how can Di Aocao, Hu Luguang, and Yaoxiong understand the riddle between us.

Di Ao Cao thought for a while, is that the cavalry raid that Chen Qingzhi said?
Expressing the thoughts in his heart, Xiao Cheng smiled and said:

"The Great Yellow City is solid. If it is captured by General Low, in the situation where Huainan Wuzhou County soldiers are driving it, are you willing to use Buqu Ants to attack the city?"

Di Aocao immediately shook his head, the [-] Han troops under his command are his lifeblood, if there are no casualties in the field battle, that’s all. In the situation where there are no state and county soldiers to command, unless I suffer from insanity, I will be fine no matter what. Will take part ants to attach to the city.

Di Cheng looked at Gao Cheng, Gao Cheng understood, took over the conversation and continued to explain:
"General Low is still a home, Mo Zhidong's [-] paces were accumulated by seven of my brothers for decades, so how could he spend them on the siege.

"The same is true for Yang Yaren, our army now only has thousands of prefectural and county soldiers, and we must be able to break through the city, so we must mobilize troops to Huainan.

"And your target is the soldiers of Huainan Prefecture under Gao Aocao's command and crossing the north!"

As he said that, Mo Zhi couldn't help but beat his palm with his fist excitedly.

Di Aocao and the others were excited when they heard the words, and they felt nervous and satisfied in their hearts when they fought with Gao Cheng and only picked soft persimmons.

Yao Xiong was suddenly puzzled and said:

"If Mo Zhidong is willing to attack the city, what should he do?"

Low Cheng smiled and said:
"This is the time for you, Gao Zihui, to play a role. General Yao, if he is Gao Aocao and others, and he finds out that you, Gao Cheng, are in Dahuang City. Will he just watch me withdraw my troops when I run out of supplies, or should I slow down the state?" The county soldiers went north to besiege the city and trapped you to death in Dahuang County?"

That's not why Gao Cheng said ten times to encircle them, maybe ten times will definitely be able to encircle and wipe out Gao Cheng's troops who are all one man and two horses.

Hearing this, Hu Luguang hurriedly said:
"I also ask the little governor to go out of the city first, and you can just wait in the city to pretend to be grand."

Everyone also hurriedly persuaded.

Of course, Gao Cheng would risk himself, but if he leaves now, he still needs to hold a banquet outside Dahuang County.

The generals dispersed, and Gao Cheng immediately set up a small banquet in the city, entertaining the nobles in the city.

Although Gao Cheng had not yet killed a group of wealthy families in the Great Yellow City who participated in Wang Qide's plot, how could it be possible to kill all the wealthy families in the city.

Still, many nobles from the Hao family who had never participated in the kidnapping of Liu Shiming were forced to attend a banquet at Qiaozhou Governor's Mansion.

At the banquet, Gao Cheng reprimanded Qiaozhou's powerful family for their rebellious behavior, and threatened to impose heavy taxes on Qiaozhou.

The surviving soldiers begged for mercy.

Low Cheng Yue said:
"You are waiting to see what happened in Xuzhou!"

The distance between Xuzhou and Qiaozhou is far, we naturally know that the wealthy clan in Xuzhou rebelled, Yizhou surrendered to Xiaoliang, and was finally put down by Gao Cheng.

Everyone dares to argue any longer, lest they will be hated by Gao Cheng and be murdered by me.

Seeing everyone's obedience, Gao Cheng had to step back an inch and said:

"Chengjiu was in the army, and he had no male family to accompany him. Before the banquet, he sent his wife and son over for your joy."

Those words sparked fire in everyone's eyes, no one could hold back any longer, and flew towards Gao Cheng, but was subdued by the guards guarding the banquet.

Low Cheng was startled, I said angrily:

"Drag this person up here for you, lock him up, and have fun with my wife and boy tonight!"

The man's roaring and cursing gradually faded away, and everyone clenched their fists, but they dared to act recklessly because the banquet was full of low-level guards.

"Hmph! You are the dignified prince of Bohai, it is their blessing to see their male relatives!"

Looking at the group of scholars, Gao Cheng said patiently:
"Forget it, they will send it to you. You go to the mansion to have fun, and he will go to the city to collect supplies for you now."

After all, he ordered people to drive those scholars out of the Great Yellow City.

When they left the city, everyone gathered together, some gritted their teeth at what Gao Cheng had done.

"Xianbei's eldest son is too deceitful, everyone, you heard that the governor of Yang and the governor of Xiahou have not joined forces yet, and if you want to join him, will he humble himself and serve the low thief, or go with you!"

No one suggested it.

Everyone responded one after another, so a group of people detoured eastward to join Mo Zhidong and Yang Yaren.

And Gao Cheng in the city didn't really do anything to our wife and son. What I did was to anger those people, let us defect to Gao Aocao, and bring the news that we are in Dahuang City.

Successively, the wife and son of the person who was willing to be humiliated were arrested and brought to the Governor's Mansion. Gao Cheng didn't feel embarrassed, but sent him to be imprisoned with this person.

Low Cheng has always held a disappreciative attitude towards the bloodless people.

Chen Qingzhi, who was sober, was slightly puzzled by the scene of Gao Cheng:

"Little governor, Gao Aocao, will we doubt it?"

He gave me a white look, and said angrily:
"He forgot what your reputation is?!"

　If you don't have it before twelve o'clock tonight, you just hold back the big move in the morning, and the spiral pill is really about to come out.

　　Thanks to the book friends Old Cat Uncle and Sister Greasy Big Corpse for their rewards.
