Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 22 Human Heart
After Liu Dan, the governor of Xiangzhou, refused Gao Huan's request to borrow grain, he saw him robbing his own army grain warehouse, but he could do nothing.

Everyone is serving as the governor of the Erzhu family. There is also a famous city of Yecheng under Xiangzhou's rule, but the strength cannot be compared.

Gao Huan was born as a leading general, and his soldiers are strong and strong, but he is really just a governor, and he can only drive weak state and county soldiers.

These state and county soldiers are not bad for defending the city, and they are pulled out to fight in the field. Erzhu Yusheng's defeat of 5000 soldiers by Gao Aocao's more than ten cavalry is an example. Of course, this example is too extreme.

Gao Huan led 30 people out of Fukou Pass, went east to Xiangzhou to grab military supplies, and then went northeast to Xindu.

At the same time, several nursery rhymes began to be sung in Xindu, and spread from Xindu to all parts of Hebei under the spread of caring people.

"Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine, and open the city gates to welcome King Gao. King Gao's army will not grab food."

"King Gao was originally a son of the Han family, and he has been reduced to Huchen for decades"

"Love the people and win the hearts of the people, Gao Wang's heart is the love of his father and elders"

Outside the restaurant, a group of children passed by singing nursery rhymes.

Gao Jishi looked at Gao Cheng and said doubtfully:
"Zihui, is your method useful?"

Hu Luguang on the side said first:

"Why is the method Zihui came up with useless? What is it called?"

But stuck there, unable to hold back.

"It's called propaganda."

Duan Shao reminded helplessly.

"That's right, that's what Zihui said."

The faces of both of them were a little pale. During this period of time, Gao Jishi dragged them to drink all day long, which made them feel terrified when they saw each other.

Gao Cheng took a sip of tea and said:
"How many people in Hebei have seen my father, and how many people can see my father. Their understanding of my father can only be learned from other people. Instead of letting others spread it, why don't we guide it and establish a father in every state in Hebei. The image of 'Han people, country people, love the people'."

Duan Shao excitedly said:

"That's right, I heard that Gao Wangdong has been strict with military discipline since he left Taihang, and he never disturbed the people along the way. With this as proof, why don't you worry about not being able to win the hearts of Hebei."

Gao Cheng disagreed, he shook his head and said:

"Xiaoxian, you are wrong. It is neither nursery rhymes nor a march that can win the hearts of Hebei. With the help of brother Zitong (Gao Jishi), it is easy to enter the letter. After entering the capital, it is the test. Only Let people from all states see that Jizhou people are living well. Let them believe that under my father's governance, they can live better than now, and the people of Hebei will truly surrender."

"Although Zi Hui is young, Ji Shi admires her insight."

After all, Gao Jishi shook his head and said regretfully:

"It's a pity I can't drink alcohol."

Gao Cheng smiled and said:

"Brother Zitong, just wait for me for a few more years."

Gao Cheng likes Gao Jishi very much. He likes wine, but he is not a wine bag. In history, Gao Jishi followed Gao Yue in defeating Xiao Yuanming in Hanshan, Hou Jing in Guoyang, and Wang Sizheng in Yingchuan. He has many military exploits.

But what Gao Cheng really loves is not only that he is Gao Aocao's sharpest heart, but also because Gao Jishi understands righteousness. Hearing that there are bandits rebelling in neighboring states and counties, Gao Jishi led his own trilogy to cross the border to attack the bandits.

The aides advised him not to do such a thing, no credit for winning, and guilt for losing.

Gao Jishi said:

'You are disloyal to the country by saying these words. If the country is safe, I am safe, and if the country is in danger, I am in danger. How can there be any reason not to attack the thieves when they know where they are? The state's soldiers will cross the border, and the thieves are unprepared. I will definitely be able to defeat them. The soldiers are precious and fast. How can I delay the military plane? Even if I am convicted, I have no regrets. '

It's a pity that such a responsible warrior died of alcohol poisoning.

Gao Cheng saw Gao Jishi holding Duan Shao and Hu Luguang to drink again, and thought that after Gao Huan became the master of Jizhou, he must persuade Gao Jishi well, not to mention quitting alcohol, at least he was only 16 years old No matter how old you are, you should be more restrained.

Gao Gan and Feng Zihui, the son of Feng Long, led more than ten Qingqi to leave Xindu, and finally met Gao Huan in Xiangzhou.

"The Erzhu family is brutal and rebellious, and people and gods are angry together. Who would want to rise up and crusade! Minggong, you are famous for your mighty virtue, and the world loves you. If you can raise troops, no one in the world can compete with you. Although Jizhou is small, its population and taxes are enough to support military resources. , I hope Duke Ming will not hesitate."

Gao Gan went straight to the point and called on Gao Huan to resist Erzhu's tyranny together.

Gao Huan did not hesitate, he responded:
"In the past, the Son of Heaven was captured by Er Zhu Zhao. I knew him very well. I once wrote to warn Er Zhu Zhaowan not to have the idea of ​​killing the king. I hate that I was not heeded.

"Hexi thieves forced Ling Jinyang, burned, killed and looted along the way. I couldn't bear to see the people suffer, so I helped Erzhu Zhao to destroy Hedouling Bufan. I became brothers with him. I wanted to persuade him to love the people and treat the scholars leniently. , I never thought that he was self-willed and reckless.

"Now, after witnessing the many tyranny of the Erzhu Clan, I understand that to help the world and save the people, I cannot rely on them. We can only end this troubled world by ourselves and restore peace to the world. Today you come to vote for me and bring me a place to live. I, Gao Huan, would like to raise the banner of righteousness with you and punish the country's thieves."

Gao Huan has been dressed as a Han Chinese ever since he came out of Taihang Mountains. He also learned that Gao Cheng and Gao Gan had arranged a genealogy. He and Gao Gan were uncles and nephews.

Gao Ganlian said he didn't dare.

Gao Huan said:

"Uncle and I are like-minded, and we met to hunt for thieves. Now we are relatives, and we share weal and woe. Uncle Yu Huan has the kindness of dedicating land. If you are happy with uncle, you can't lose the gift of nephew."

Gao Huan treats people like a spring breeze, and Gao Gan believes that he has met the Lord, so he has a new affection.

That night, the two slept together in the same tent, and their relationship grew deeper.

Previously, Liu Haibao, a native of Cangzhou, led his troops to attack and occupy Cangzhou. In response to the uprising of Gao Gan and Gao Ao Cao brothers in Xindu, the Gao brothers appointed Liu Haibao to carry out Cangzhou affairs. Liu Haibao's younger brother Liu Shuzong led the rest of his troops to Gao Aocao, and Gao Aocao led the army to attack Diaozheng.

At this time, Gao Aocao, who was fighting far away in Cangzhou, finally learned of Gao Gan's decision to welcome Gao Huan.

With Gao Aocao's pride and his recent record of defeating Erzhu Yusheng as the base, how could he be reconciled.

So, he immediately sent people to buy women's dresses and sent them to Xindu to ridicule the cowardice of high-ranking officials.

Gao Aocao was born early, so if he wants to put this kind of behavior on Weibo, he will be punched a few times to let him understand that the world has changed.

Gao Gan, Feng Zihui and the others bid farewell to Gao Huan first, and they all arranged for the reception. Gao Huan followed slowly, and paid close attention to military discipline.
