Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

As the bridgehead of the Eastern Wei Dynasty's westward advance, even before the army arrived, Yubi City was still busy.

A famous city like Jinyang can't accommodate more than [-] soldiers and civilians, let alone expect the soldiers and civilians of the Western Expedition to live in Yubi City.

Wang Sizheng has recruited local civilians in Huazhou in advance to set up camps outside the city for temporary resettlement.

In addition to building construction, Wang Sizheng did not forget to send sentry cavalry. After all, Yubi is located on the border between the two Weis. Even if there is no definite news that Yuwentai is gathering troops in Bashang and there is no definite news of his move to the north, it is not a big mistake to be careful.

Suddenly, there was the sound of roaring horseshoes from the east, and even the ground trembled accordingly. Wang Sizheng, who was inspecting the construction of the camp, followed his prestige, and the first thing that caught his eye was the sentinel cavalry sent out before, and they came riding in a hurry.

"The general has arrived!"

The sentry cavalry shouted loudly, but was overshadowed by the growing movement behind him.

When he ran to Wang Sizheng, there was no need for sentry cavalry to explain. Wang Sizheng had already seen the thickening black line in the far east, which was composed of countless black armored knights.

The black-armored knights slowed down, and pawns appeared behind them, and the flags covered the sky. Among all the generals' flags, the handsome flag that belonged to Gao Cheng was the most conspicuous.

As the army approached, a black-armored knight stepped out and smiled at Wang Sizheng:

"Weng Zhang, thank you for defending the western frontier, defeating Yuwentai twice, it is really hard work."

He took off his lower armor, revealing his handsome face, isn't he just Little Gao Wang?

There are pros and cons to wearing brightly colored armor on the battlefield.

The advantage is that it allows the soldiers to know the location of the main general, but the disadvantage is that it will expose their position to the enemy's field of vision, and it is very easy to be beheaded by the enemy's elite.

Gao Cheng, who spared his life, did not have the idea of ​​sharing positions on the battlefield. He was dressed in black armor, which was only the most common personal guard system.

Wang Sizheng hurriedly bowed and saluted, not daring to call himself the father-in-law at all, he humbly said:
"The last general will use his body in vain for the general. Even if he has a little credit for his hard work, it is also the general's knowledge of people. How dare the last general take credit for it."

It's not good to be in a high position. It's hard to hear the truth, and you are surrounded by flattery every day.

Of course, it also depends on who the flatterer is. For example, if Zhang Shiqi flatters the sky, it is better for Gao Cheng to benefit from a few humble words from Wang Sizheng, a master of tower defense.

Gao Cheng got off his horse, held Wang Sizheng's hands tightly, and said earnestly:
"Weng Zhang doesn't need to be humble, Cheng has seen and remembered your achievements, if there is no Weng Zhang guarding Yubi, how can we go to the Kanto for three years to recuperate and recuperate."

After finishing speaking, Gao Cheng laughed again and said:
"If it wasn't for the inconvenient female scrolls to accompany the army, Cheng really wanted to bring Wang Niang to meet Mrs. Weng and his daughter, but please don't be impatient, Mrs. Weng will meet again after the war. The dignity of a county prince is indispensable."

Gao Cheng's promise also made Wang Sizheng's eyes shine. Meeting his daughter was only a second priority. What was more important was the title of Duke of the county, which was a glory that could be passed on to his descendants.

That is to say, there is no Weibo these days, otherwise the patriarchal Wang Sizheng would really be hammered to death.

Between Gao Cheng and Wang Sizheng, the concubine and daughter Wang is the most pitiful.

To my father, she was just a tool used by the former benefactor Yuan Xiugui to resolve suspicions with Gao Cheng when he was the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty.

...

For her husband, she was just a reason for Gao Cheng to win over Wang Sizheng and to enable him to trust him.

But fortunately, Gao Cheng was never alone. Even if Li Zu'e, who is the most beautiful Guandong, came in, he had to take turns according to the day. Although the Wang family was not valued, they were also in a cycle and had their own day.

Hu Luguang looked at Gao Cheng and Wang Sizheng and Weng's son-in-law deeply in love, and couldn't help curling his lips.

Nine years ago, when the two met for the first time, Gao Cheng framed Wang Sizheng's slander and secretly wanted to murder himself just because Wang Sizheng took an extra look at him in the crowd.

He ordered Hu Luguang to tie him up and put him in prison for a year, ignoring him.
Looking at the two people shaking hands and talking happily now, who would have guessed their original enmity.

Of course, if Wang Sizheng knew that he would definitely reserve his opinion on the word "resentment": it was obviously a last resort for Xiao Gaowang to prevent himself from going astray.

Wang Sizheng has always been good at self-hypnosis, and he is very good at it.

At Wang Sizheng's invitation, Gao Cheng inspected the city defense with him, and has been stationed at Yubi for more than three years. Wang Sizheng knows every piece of land in the city like the back of his hand.

He introduced the defense measures of Yubi City to Gao Cheng in detail.

Gao Cheng changed Huayin's name to Yubi, but it was indeed the first time he came to Huayin personally. There have been many stories and legends in this city.

A little closer is Wang Wei, a veteran of the Western Wei Dynasty. After he was captured by Gao Huan, he refused to surrender. Under the instigation of Sima Ziru and others, he was killed by Gao Huan.

Gao Cheng has always had respect for this upright, strong, and fair old general. Even Sima Ziru, after avenging the shame of Huayin's defeat by killing people with his tongue, was ashamed of his actions.

Because Sima Ziru stayed behind in Luoyang, he specifically asked Gao Cheng to go to worship on his behalf.

During the inspection of the city defense, I heard Wang Sizheng mention the critical moment of each section of the city wall when it was besieged by Yu Wentai.

Gao Cheng did not stay in it, but wandered outside, imagining the despair of Wang Zhen when he was trapped in the isolated city and was captured by Gao Huan's 20 vigorous Bingzhou Hu.

After patrolling the city with Wang Sizheng, Gao Cheng personally brought wine and water to worship in front of Wang Shi's tomb.

"The old general has a clean and honest government, he hates evil like a vengeance, he is a person whom Cheng admires, but the pearl is secretly cast, so he can only be with the weeds here.

"God let the general be born in Kansai instead of Kanto, otherwise Cheng would have a good drink with the general and talk about justice in this world."

Gao Cheng poured down a glass of wine in front of Wang Wei's grave, and after finishing speaking, he turned to Hu Luguang and said with emotion:

"At that time, I told Changyou (Chen Yuankang) to persuade his father and king to take Huayin as the foundation. Knowing that Sima Ziru, Han Gui and others regarded Huayin's defeat as a great shame in their lives, they never mentioned Wang Zhen to Changyou. Life and death, even if it was Sima Ziru who instigated his father to order Wang Zhen to be killed, the culprit is not me, Gao Zihui."

Hu Luguang didn't know why Gao Cheng suddenly felt hurt, he thought for a while and replied:

"If Wang Zhen begged for his life, even if the general didn't say anything, Xiang Wang would spare his life. Although this man is stubborn, he is also a tough guy. If he chooses to die in martyrdom, what has he to do with the general?"

Gao Cheng nodded slightly, he has been sentimental lately, it was nothing more than being nervous before the battle, and it was an old problem, and when the two armies confronted each other, he would be able to return to normal.

...

This time, the launch of the All-National War will not allow failure. This is not only related to the prestige of the father and son, but also because of the financial cost of this Western Expedition.

Regardless of victory or defeat after the war, there is a huge deficit waiting for Gao Cheng to fill.

Needless to say if he lost, the pension alone would make Gao Cheng's hair fall out of worry.

If they win, the reconstruction of Kansai will also put a heavy burden on finances.

However, this was Gao Cheng's first time participating in such a large-scale battle, and he lacked combat experience in large corps, so he couldn't help being careless.

When Gao Huan's army arrived at Yubi, it was already October 23, the sky was snowing for a while, and the weather was very cold.

Fortunately, Gao Cheng paid great attention to logistics before dispatching troops, and even personally asked the civilian husbands about their winter clothing preparations. This did not cause widespread freezing to death. However, he had to work every day, and frostbite was inevitable.

When Gao Huan came to Yubi, he was not in a hurry to enter the city, but after Gao Cheng, he also went to worship Wang Zhen.

In fact, it's not just Gao's father and son. Wang Sizheng was ordered to guard Yubi. When he first arrived at Yubi, he visited Wang Wei's tomb and worshiped in front of the people in the city, in order to win Yubi's hearts.

Wang Wei's impartial, selfless, and hating character makes him unlikable among the powerful and powerful, but he is also destined to win the loyal support of the people under his rule.

Gao Huan not only paid homage, but also recited an emotional oration in front of the grave.

Of course, this was written by Gao Huan's staff member Wei Shou for him. He Liuhun didn't have this literary talent, and of course, his good son Gao Cheng, who was not learned and skilled, didn't have this ability either.

Obviously it was Wang Wei who Gao Huan ordered to kill, but at this time he was pretending to be acting in front of the grave, but the people at the bottom would follow this routine.

Through this scene, Gao Huan successfully cleared his name, and everyone thought that the wise King Gao was only deceived by a villain like Sima Ziru, so he killed Wang Wei by mistake.

Didn't you see that Gao Wang still had tears in his eyes when he recited the sacrificial oration? It can be seen how much Gao Wang regretted this matter.

In the final analysis, the people of Huazhou have little contact with the Gao family, and they are too innocent. In Jinyang and Luoyang, if you inquire at will, no one will take the tears of Gao's father and son seriously these days, but they are all acting in cooperation with them.

But the lord is a showman, it's better than tyranny, isn't it, who doesn't have a little hobby.

Whether it is to win over subordinates or the boudoir interest, it does not hinder the affairs of the common people. On the contrary, it adds a lot of talk for them after dinner and enriches the increasingly vigorous spiritual needs of the people.

After paying homage to Wang Wei, Gao Huan's military order was conveyed. Except for Gao Cheng's troops who had already settled in before, and the 80 civilians who followed him, the remaining [-] soldiers and civilians also successively settled in the temporary camp built by Wang Sizheng.

At this time, the [-] Shu soldiers led by King Wuling of Nanliang, Governor of Yizhou Xiao Ji, and Deputy General Lan Qin finally crossed the Meridian Road.

In the past, Wei Yan requested to lead the cavalry to go to Ziwu Valley and attack Chang'an within ten days. Of course, the victory or defeat is hard to tell, after all, this is just a hypothesis.

But the [-] Shu soldiers who entered the customs to help the battle did come to the city of Chang'an by Ziwu Road, and were greeted by the most valued nephew Yu Wenhu and nephew Wei Chijiong of the Yuwentai Sect.

The two sides are now close allies, and they can also be called mutual trust and mutual respect. After some conversations, Xiao Ji already felt in his heart how talented the North is. Such a character.

...

Yu Chijiong, who greeted him with Yu Wenhu, was more interested in the mountains, rivers, geography, characters and customs of Shu.

Now that Xiao Yan is old, Xiao Ji takes control of the land of Shu as the king. If the throne changes, will the new emperor still trust his brother and hand over the land of Shu to him.

Yu Chijiong knew that the relationship between Xiao Ji and the brothers was not harmonious.

In the case of the Western Wei Dynasty's eastward route being blocked, and Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, it is said that there are rumors in Luoyang that "the general guards the gate of the country, and the emperor dies in Sheji." '

If you want to break through the Kanto blockade, the difficulty can be imagined.

Tuyuhun is located in Qinghai Lake. For the Western Wei Dynasty, which mainly focused on farming, it is somewhat tasteless, and the north is soft.

Under the circumstances that the host country is not smooth, plotting the land of Shu seems to be the only hope for the rise of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Of course, all of this will have to wait until the end of this battle. It would be the best if we can take advantage of the victory and invade Henan. After all, Xiao Yan has already reached this point, and it is really unreasonable for his family to plot his Shu land.

As the first person in the original time and space to agree with Yuwentai's plan to seize Bashu and personally lead troops south to occupy Shu, it's not surprising that Yuchijiong had such an idea.

Yu Wenhu didn't do much greetings, and immediately led Xiao Ji and others to Bashang to meet Yu Wentai.

On the day when the two sides joined forces in Bashang, Yu Wentai held a banquet to entertain the generals of the Southern Liang Dynasty, and win affection with them, hoping to work together to defend against high-ranking thieves.

Everyone has a common enemy, and they have the same interests. They all want to prevent the Gao family from dominating the north, so the two groups have a good chat, laughing at Yan Yan at the banquet.

After the banquet, Yu Wentai did not immediately send his troops across the Wei River to the north.

One reason is that he intends to lure the enemy to go deep. The farther the opponent goes, the longer the supply line will be stretched, and the more chances of victory will be.

Secondly, the Shu soldiers traveled across mountains and rivers to come to Bashang, and urgently needed repairs.

It is the same reason that the army of the Eastern Wei and the Western Expeditions stationed in Yubi has not seen any movement.

Since leaving Jinyang on the third day of October, the soldiers have been marching for more than half a month. The soldiers are already exhausted.

Gao Huan would not commit such a taboo among military strategists. Compared with the last Western Expedition, he is indeed much more cautious now.

After all, a big defeat in the Western Expedition made him suffer from the root of the disease and his hair turned gray. If there is another big defeat, I am afraid that his life will be lost on this matter.

Just when the two parties were ready to go in Yubi and Bashang.

Saibei, Rouran Royal Court.

Anahu finally got the specific news of the Eastern Wei Dynasty's dispatch of troops. For this reason, he immediately issued a mobilization order and recruited 30 million soldiers and horses.

However, he does not intend to intervene in the dispute between the two in-laws, but wants to use all his troops to attack Gaoche and dominate the Saibei grassland.

It cannot be said that it is the two in-laws. News came from Chang'an that the 15-year-old eldest daughter who married Yuan Baoju, the emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty, died of dystocia. It is said that she saw various supernatural phenomena before her death.

For example, I saw the ghost of the former queen B Freund who was gifted to death by the Yuan Baoju.

Anahu doesn't believe that at this critical moment, Yu Wentai, Yuan Baoju and others dared to kill their daughter, but if they are a bit rational, they will not commit such a disaster. Otherwise, if Rouran and the Eastern Wei jointly send troops, Yu Wentai and others Arrive with what.

...

Therefore, he also believed in the saying that his 15-year-old daughter died of dystocia. There is an example of the eldest daughter here. Cheng gave birth, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the eldest daughter who died of dystocia.

At the end of 540 A.D., the land of China will change from the peace of the past three years, and wars will break out everywhere, even Mobei is no exception.

At this time, the nobles of Gaoche are still immersed in drinking, singing and dancing, and are content with pleasure, but they don't know that Anahu is determined to wash away the humiliation brought to him by Gao Che, a former little follower.

Tutujia knows the specific plan of his brother Anahu. These days, he often looks north. As a member of the Yu Jiulu clan, he also hopes that he can personally join this battle of revenge.

But looking at the ten-year-old niece Princess Zhuzhu who often appeared in front of her, she could only sigh in the end.

Gao Cheng integrated the three prefectures of Xuzhou, East Xuzhou, and North Xuzhou, and merged them into Xuzhou. He once made a serious mistake, but was forgiven by Gao Huan. Gao Yue was deeply moved by his cousin Gao Cheng and was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou, sitting in the southeast .

Every time he thinks of Gao Huan's haggard appearance when he came back to Jinyang with a full head of white hair, Gao Yue always regrets that he couldn't take a firm stand back then.

Cousin's kindness, in this life, I can only risk my life to repay it.

With more than 23 soldiers marching westward, the Kanto region will inevitably become empty. Fortunately, we have a good relationship with Rouran, so we were able to enlist [-] troops from Hebei and Jeju to station in the south to make a comprehensive strategy.

As the army entered the customs, Nanliang also began to send more people on the border, which put great pressure on Gao Yue.

Yaoxiong, the governor of Yuzhou, and Hou Jing, the governor of Jingzhou, must face this pressure. Fortunately, the three of them are all famous generals for a while. Although the pressure is huge, with the backing of the [-] troops led by Lou Zhao and Duan Shao, There is no lack of confidence.

Among them, Hou Jing faced the least pressure.

Hou Jing is also bitter before sweet, sitting in Xiangyang for so many years, facing Chen Qingzhi directly.

Chen Qingzhi passed away last year, and the morale of Jiangling's army was shaken. After all, he had been in command for nearly ten years. No matter who came to replace him, it would be difficult for him to achieve Chen Qingzhi's prestige and talent.

And this is also the most important reason why he gave up the idea of ​​colluding with Nanliang under Wang Wei's persuasion.

He was originally in a situation where it was difficult to make a choice, but he suddenly heard that one of the few generals in Nanliang who could watch the show, Chen Qingzhi died of illness, which also made Hou Jing decide to continue to be a loyal minister to the Gao family.

Today's northern warriors generally have contempt for the southern army. After all, these Xianbei Hu people of all ethnic groups in the six towns don't even look down on the Han army inside themselves, let alone the southerners.

If it weren't for Gao Aocao to support the Han army's face, I don't know how they would be bullied by them.

However, at this time and space, Gao Cheng recruited Han soldiers aggressively. Not only did the Han army account for more than half of the Gyeonggi Army, but the [-] salt soldiers were all Han.

As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure. This principle is also applicable to the issue of the national attributes of the army and the country.

The army is the economic foundation, which ethnicity occupies the majority of the army, and the ethnic culture to which it belongs will also determine the superstructure of the country's ethnic attributes.

Although Gao Cheng made a lot of efforts, only Henan and Hebei were under his rule.

Today, the Eastern Wei Dynasty is a country in name, and it is in a state of separation under the dual military-political system of Luoyang and Jinyang.

It can be said that Henan and Hebei, which followed the Luoyang decree, belonged to Sinicized countries, while Hedong and the six states in northern Xinjiang, which followed the Jinyang decree, were completely Xianbei countries.
