Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 30
"My son, news came from Yangping that Erzhu Zhongyuan and Erzhu Dulu ordered He Basheng and Hu Sichun to go to Guang'a to meet Er Zhuzhao. I thought that the two of them wanted to make peace and facilitate the Erzhu clan to join forces."

In the city of Xindu, Sun Wei, the head of the listening department, analyzed it for Gao Cheng.

After Gao Huan founded the righteousness, Gao Cheng led Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, Gao Jishi and others back to Xindu, and handed Cangzhou over to Duan Rong.

Gao Cheng suggested to Gao Huan that the Department of Hearing and Watching should be set up by selecting personnel from Hu and Hanzhong to listen to news and spread rumors. Gao Huan handed it over to Gao Cheng for management.

The two rumors that Gao Huan came up with, "Shilong Brothers Murdered Zhao" and "Zhao and Gao Huan Killed Zhongyuan, etc.," were spread by the hearing department.

Sun Wei's family background is low, but he is smart and studious, and he is famous for his literary talent. He followed Cui Zuzhi to rebel in Qingzhou. , Now follow him into Xindu and preside over the affairs of the hearing department.

Although Sun Wei is a Han Chinese, he is proficient in Xianbei language, and it is most suitable to assist Gao Cheng in presiding over the hearing department that both Hu and Han have.

Gao Cheng received Sun Wei's report, hummed, and asked his servants to bring the news to Gao Huan, while he himself asked if there was any news about Guanxi, and that was what he really cared about.

It's a pity that the Ministry of Listening and Watching is newly built, and the staff has just been spread out, and Kansai is remote, so there is no important news for the time being.

The last message sent back was that the Erzhu clan slaughtered the Hongnong Yang clan.

After Gao Huanju's incident, the Erzhu family was determined to eliminate the unstable factors around them, and the Hongnong Yang family, as an important participant in the killing of Er Zhurong by Yuan Ziyou of Emperor Xiaozhuang, also suffered bloody revenge.

Erzhu Tianguang, who ruled in Kansai, sent Yuan Ziyou's confidant Yang Kan's children and relatives, vowed to kill only Yang Kan and spare the whole Yang family. On June 28, Yang Kan was arrested and killed in Chang'an.

On June 29, Erzhu Tianguang violated his oath and sent troops to surround Yang's Hongnong old house and started a massacre.

On the night of July [-]th, Erzhu Shilong killed all the members of the Yang family living in Luoyang in the name of treason.

Those who fled from the Yang family were also arrested and killed in Jinyang, Chang'an, Gwangju, Qucheng and other places.

Since then, the east and west families of the Hongnong Yang family have suffered catastrophe.

Because this year is the first year of Putai, this incident is also known as the Putai Change.

Gao Cheng learned the news from the Department of Hearing and Wang that Yang Min, a 21-year-old son of Hongnong's Yang family, was arrested in Handan, and immediately ordered someone to rescue Yang Min while he was being escorted to Yecheng, Xiangzhou.

After Yang Min was out of trouble, Gao Cheng did not keep him by his side, but sent him to Cangzhou to assist Duan Rong in governing. Yang Min's clan was slaughtered by the Erzhu family, and the hatred was as deep as the sea. He sent several letters to Gao Cheng to ask for his participation. fighting.

However, Gao Cheng considered that governance was the other party's strong point, so he wrote a letter to comfort him, asking him to put his mind at ease in political affairs, saying that Yang Min would be transferred back to Xindu at the time of the decisive battle, and let him witness the destruction of the Erzhu family with his own eyes, and take Erzhu Shilong and Erzhu Tianguang with his own eyes. The first level comforts the clan.

Yang Min then gave up and focused on dealing with Cangzhou civil affairs.

Gao Cheng didn't care about He Basheng and Hu Sichun's visit to Er Zhuzhao, and now the gap between the Erzhu clan cannot be bridged with a few words.

Otherwise, it would not be possible for the two armies to station in Guang'a and Yangping and linger for a month.

They don't trust each other, and they are afraid of stabbing each other in the back during the battle.

If they want to march separately, no one is willing to face Gao Huan's army directly, and both sides will suffer.

Sure enough, under the suggestion of Murong Shaozong, Erzhu Zhao led [-] Qingqi to go south with He Basheng and Hu Sichun, and went to Yangping to meet Erzhu Zhongyuan and Erzhu Dulu.

Perhaps it was Gao Huan's rumor that "the Shilong brothers murdered omens" was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Er Zhuzhao was worried all the way. After entering the Yangping camp, he did not talk to Er Zhu Zhongyuan and others in detail, so he suspected that Er Zhu Zhongyuan and others had different intentions. Immediately lead the Qingqi to seize the door and leave.

Erzhu Zhongyuan and Erzhu Dulu hurriedly dispatched He Basheng and Hu Sichun to recover it, hoping to persuade Erzhu Zhao to return to Yangping to discuss the big plan again.

However, Er Zhuzhao arrested He Basheng and Hu Sichun and brought them back to Guang'a City, the governor of Yinzhou.

"Husi Fashou, Tianzhu treated you well during his lifetime, why did you hear that Tianzhu died, and didn't think about coming west to Jinyang to avenge Tianzhu, but instead went to Nanliang's false emperor Yuanyue."

In the commander's tent of the Guang'a camp, Er Zhuzhao pointed at Hu Sichun and asked why.

"Tianzhu died, and Chunyuan was in East Xuzhou (Pizhou, Jiangsu Province). He didn't know the news from Luoyang, so he decided to go south. Chun would rather abandon his family and business than attach himself to Yuan Ziyou. Why does your lord blame me for this?"

Hu Sichun argued.

After hearing what he said, Er Zhuzhao thought it was very reasonable. Moreover, when Hu Sichun learned that he had entered Luoyang, he immediately returned north, so he let go of Hu Sichun and pointed at He Basheng and asked sharply:

"He Ba Pohu, you once attacked and killed Wei Kegu, this is your first crime.

"You are deeply trusted by Tianzhu, but what happened to you when Tianzhu died! When you took refuge in Yuan Ziyou, did you ever think about Tianzhu's kindness.

"Now that the two crimes are punished together, I will kill you. What else do you have to say?"

He Basheng was stunned, who is Wei Kegu?It was the Caotou King under the command of Po Liuhan Baling who caused the chaos of the Six Towns.

You, Er Zhu, started your business by suppressing the rebellion of the six towns, but now you are complaining about the rebels. What kind of role did you play in the rebellion of the six towns?

He Basheng felt resentful and argued:
"Wei Kegu's rebellion is a serious problem for the country. Our father, son and brothers have contributed a lot to killing the thieves for the country. Now the king thinks it is a crime. There has never been such a thing in the world.

Tianzhu was killed, it was the monarch who killed his subjects, how could Sheng turn his back on the court?Today, my life and death are all determined by the king, but in the face of the enemy, there is no one who fights with the same family. From ancient times to the present, there is no one who is not invincible. Victory is not afraid of death. "

Er Zhuzhao finally realized that He Basheng and Hu Sichun were sent by Erzhu Zhongyuan and Erzhu Dulu, if they were killed, how could they work together to break Gao Huan.

So He Basheng and Hu Sichun were released.

Before He Basheng and Hu Sichun returned to Yangping, they learned that Erzhu Zhongyuan and Erzhu Dulu had withdrawn their troops.

"The two of us were ordered to go on a mission, but were captured by Erzhu Zhao. Erzhu Zhongyuan and Erzhu Dulu didn't care about our life and death at all, and withdrew the troops hastily, which is really chilling."

Facing the empty Yangping camp, Hu Sichun sighed.

He Basheng on the side also thought to himself: Er Zhuzhao let me go today because the enemy needs the clan's strength and unity. Once Gao Huan is defeated and Er Zhuzhao goes to liquidate again, how can I save my life?

The respective calculations of the two will not be mentioned for the time being.

After Er Zhuzhao heard that Er Zhu Zhongyuan and Er Zhu Dulu had withdrawn their troops, he did not want to stay in Hebei to face Gao Huan's forces alone, so he left Hou Yuan to lead [-] troops to guard Guang'a, and hurriedly withdrew to Jinyang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Er Zhuzhao left, Hou Yuan raised Guang'acheng and surrendered to Gao Huan.

It was the first time that Erzhu's allied forces fought for high ground, and it ended in such a strange way.
