Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 224
"Would you like to stay with me and serve as Kuzhi."

Gao Cheng didn't go around too much, after exchanging pleasantries, he asked directly.

Hexi She couldn't help being overjoyed, thanked him excitedly and said:
"Since the crown prince values ​​it, how dare She Le refuse it, and is willing to protect the left and right, and protect the crown prince with his life."

Although he didn't know why Gao Cheng found him, and he didn't know why he was able to be promoted, but Hexi Shele felt that he had never lived with the aloof King of Bohai, and if he really wanted to harm him, there was no need to go around and arrange him as a personal bodyguard.

Of course Gao Cheng would not harm a loyal protector of the lord, he nodded to Hexi Shele and said:
"Get up quickly, after the dinner, you and Xue Hu'er will guard behind me, you don't need to bring a weapon."

After finishing speaking, he said to Xue Hu'er:
"Ah Hu, take She Le to change clothes, and then go to the lobby with me later."

Xue Hu'er agreed and took Hexi Shele to leave.

The young Xianbei warrior was hit by a pie, and he still hasn't recovered from the huge surprise.

There was a smile on the corner of Gao Cheng's mouth. In fact, no matter how Hexi Shele reacted to this interview, he couldn't change his love for him.

He is right about things but not people, and he is not right about things. Gao Cheng switches back and forth between these two attitudes.

In the quiet wing room, Gao Cheng was clear-headed, and continued to memorize the specific meritorious deeds of Jinyang's civil and military affairs that he had prepared in Luoyang.

When the dinner was about to start, Gao Cheng did not sit at the head of the lobby like Gao Huan, but was ordered to welcome the guests outside the residence.

Whenever a guest came to the door, even if they just exchanged names at the city gate, Gao Cheng would hold the other party's hand cordially, and detail each other's achievements one by one, like a treasure.

This trip to Jinyang is not an interview between myself and the civil and military personnel in Jinyang.

He took Hulu Qiang's raised hand and said with regret:

"Xu You presented Yuan Shao with a surprise attack on Xuchang. Yuan Shao refused, and Fang You was defeated at Guandu. Last year's Western Expedition, my father could not use the general's strategy. It is really a pity. Every time Cheng thinks about it, he sighs with regret."

What Gao Cheng said was that Hu Lu Qiang offered advice to Gao Huan, and he led the fine horses to attack Chang'an.

He said so, but if he offended Gao Cheng himself, he might hesitate like Gao Huan.

In the decisive battle with Kansai, he did not dare to pin his hopes on a general from Wuchuan.

Gao Cheng's words, although Hu Lu Qiangju was well received, did not dare to respond, he hurriedly said:
"The enemy's situation is not clear, and the king of Xiang should be cautious. As a general, he only needs to think about it. The king of Xiang is a commander, but he has to plan the overall situation. No one would have expected that the soldiers would be so unprepared. If we divide our troops to attack Chang'an, I'm afraid they are already trapped in Guanzhong."

Gao Cheng was very satisfied with Hu Lu Qiang Ju's response, and changed the topic again:
"Back then, He Basheng attacked and killed the angels. According to the rebellion in Yanzhou, Cheng led the Gyeonggi soldiers to the east to fight against them. He Basheng abandoned the army and fled, leaving only [-] plays. Cheng eliminated the old and weak, and got [-] strong Wuchuan. They Fighting with me for several years and performing military exploits also made Cheng understand a truth, not all Wuchuan people follow Xini.

"Although the Western Expedition was defeated, Yubi and Tongguan were still in our hands. The people of Kansai were withered, and Yu Wentai was just waiting to die. However, when the Western Expedition was defeated, the general, although he was born in Wuchuan, was able to abide by his loyalty and rush to help Yubi. It is very comforting for Cheng not to join forces with Xini, Cheng does not like to get Tongguan and Yubi, but he likes to win a loyal and brave man like General."

Gao Cheng deliberately fled Hulu Qiang to Huayin (Yubi) that day, saying that he led his troops to help.

But what moved Hu Lu Qiangju the most was what he said afterwards.

His father used to be the town general of Wuchuan. Under the background of Huaishuo and Wuchuan's struggle for supremacy, he was often secretly excluded by his colleagues.

It's not that he never thought about defecting to the Western Wei Dynasty, but the strength gap between the Eastern and Western Wei was obvious, and he didn't want to be executed with Yu Wentai. That's why he still stood firm on the Eastern Army's position in the defeat of the Western Expedition.

Now Gao Cheng's words are equivalent to witnessing his name. Although Hulu Qiangju is from Wuchuan, he always has his heart towards Huaishuo people, He Liuhun and his son.

This made Hulu Qiangju feel no other emotion besides tears of gratitude.

Gao Cheng didn't wait for Hulu Qiang to express his gratitude, he saw an old man in his sixties among the crowd, and he greeted loudly:
"Wang Weng, Wang Sizhou, why don't you come quickly."

The old man's name was Wang Ji, and it was his son Wang Hong who helped him approach.

After meeting with Wang Ji, Gao Cheng said to Hu Lu Qiang Ju:

"Wang Weng used to work for Ge Rong, and he had an inseparable relationship with Xi Ni."

Wang Ji and Wang Hong's expressions changed, and they were about to explain, but they heard Gao Cheng continue:

"The day Wang Weng went to Chang'an as an envoy, Xi Ni wanted to force him to stay, Wang Weng risked his life and fled back, he was utterly loyal, Cheng and his father knew it together, just like General Hulu, General Hulu no longer needs to be depressed because of his origin in Wuchuan."

What Gao Cheng said about Wang Ji's mission to Chang'an refers to He Bayue's assassination and Yu Wentai's ascendancy. Gao Huan sent Wang Ji to enter the customs to investigate the situation under the guise of easing relations.

Wang Ji didn't escape from Jinyang by seizing the horse as Yuwentai did back then, but he made some righteous remarks, so Yuwentai had to let him go.

Hearing this, Wang Ji looked at Hulu Qiangju who was bowing his head to thank him, and thought he understood Gao Cheng's intentions, but he didn't want to. After Gao Cheng helped Hulu Qiangju and asked him to sit inside for a while, he looked at his son Wang Hong.

"Cheng heard that Wang Weng had a son named Hong who was intelligent, knowledgeable in literature and science, and good at riding and shooting. At the age of 13, he was praised by Guo Yuanzhen, the governor of Yangzhou. At the age of 15, he was appreciated by the governor of Jingzhou, Hou Jing. The eyes are higher than the top.

"In the past, I fought with him in the Three Thorns in the South, but I was still underestimated by him. I really don't know what kind of handsome young man can amaze Hou Cishi."

When Gao Cheng was speaking, his eyes carefully sized up this young man who was slightly younger than himself. Seeing that he straightened his back and his face showed no fear, he was convinced that this was Wang Hong.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ji hurriedly said:
"The son is absurd."

He said to Wang Hong who was at the side:
"Hong'er, don't hurry up to meet the crown prince."

Only then did Wang Hong bend down and salute respectfully:

"Boy, Wang Hong, pay homage to your son."

"No need to be polite."

Gao Cheng helped Wang Hong up, looked at Wang Ji again, and asked Wang Ji:
"Cheng was running around for his father at the age of 11, and participated in military and political affairs at the age of 12. He claimed to be wise early, and his favorite in his life was also the young Junyan. I was really happy to see Mr. Wang Weng today. Now Cheng still lacks Ku Zhi, I don't know Wang Can Weng give up his love?"

Wang Ji was too happy for his son to be the bodyguard of Gao's successor, so how could he refuse.

With Wang Ji's consent, Wang Hong immediately saluted Gao Cheng to show his loyalty.

Gao Cheng helped him up again with a smile, and told Wang Hong to take care of his father tonight, and Wang Ji, who was nearly sixty years old, would come to Bohai Palace to look for him tomorrow.

The father and son of the Wang family entered the Bohai Palace, and Jinyang Wenwu, who had already been waiting for his official position, came forward, because he had already recited everyone's deeds by heart, Gao Cheng only needed to hear the other party's self-reporting, and he could always accurately tell their past achievements. Talk to people cordially.

Undoubtedly, Gao Cheng's long-prepared appearance won the unanimous favor of Jinyang's civil and military personnel.

　10000/12000, yesterday's is still 2000 short of tomorrow, today is still the goal of 1, change at 2:[-] pm
