Chapter 320
Yu Wentai marched eastward along the Weishui River and confronted the Eastern Wei Dynasty across the river. The two sides camped about ten miles away from the river, and the distance between them was only more than twenty miles.

On November 21, the two parties received news almost at the same time that Rouran Khan Anagu gathered his people in Mobei and sent troops to kill the Gaoche Kingdom. There was no possibility of interfering in the war in the Central Plains.

On the Eastern Front, the news of Duan Shao's defeat of Yang Yaren in Xuzhou also spread to Guanzhong. This also means that Nanliang's plan to threaten the Kanto with the Northern Expedition and force the Gao family to return to aid was completely bankrupt. Count on Yu Wentai to drive the Eastern Wei out of Guanzhong by himself.

Yu Wentai was in a state of desperation, and the Gao family father and son, especially Gao Cheng, who had no worries about the future, also felt the pressure.

Different from others, Gao Cheng knew that Rouran had a good relationship with the Eastern Wei Dynasty, just to free up his hands to clean up Gao Cheguo.

As for the result of Rouran's attack on Gaoche, Gao Cheng also knew it well. According to the historical records, the Gaoche Kingdom perished in 541. If there is no accident, it probably refers to this battle. Gaoche should be destroyed by Rouran at the beginning of the year. country, until the Turkic rebellion, Rouran was invincible on the grassland.

Gao Huan's first expedition to the west, Rouran was only playing small things in the northern border. After a sneak attack by a car, he fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty in embarrassment, and only then did Anahu have a chance to reset.

Therefore, this is also the best time for the Eastern Wei to unify the north. Once this opportunity is missed, before the Turkic rebellion, the Eastern Wei will go west again and Rouran, who re-establishes the hegemony of the grassland, will definitely interfere.

Marriage cannot maintain a good relationship with each other, interests are fundamental. The Eastern Wei Dynasty wanted to conquer the West, and Rouran also wanted to conquer the West. They were afraid of each other stealing their asses, so the two sides were as close as brothers.

If the Western Expedition of the Eastern Wei Dynasty fails and Rouran perishes Gaoche, then Rouran's interest demands will also change from being friendly with the Eastern Wei Dynasty to interfering in the war in the Central Plains to prevent the North from being unified.

This battle must be won.

Just when Gao Cheng was anxious about this, the news he had been waiting for for a long time was finally sent to the camp. This is also the reason why the Eastern Wei Dynasty was delayed and wasted food, but always avoided war.

It turned out that before entering the customs, when Gao Huan asked Gao Cheng about the strategy to defeat the enemy, Gao Cheng once proposed an idea:
That is to use the more than [-] Eastern Wei soldiers who were captured by Yu Wentai and incorporated into the army during the defeat of the first Western Expedition.

He didn't do it on a whim. Gao Qingqing, who is familiar with history books, clearly remembers that Gao Huanshayuan was defeated in the original time and space, with [-] killed and [-] captured. All of them were returned to the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

During the Battle of Heqiao, the left-behind soldiers heard that Yuwentai was defeated, and immediately took advantage of the emptiness in Guanzhong to launch a rebellion. They occupied the small town attached to Chang'an, and even captured Xianyang, causing chaos in Guanzhong. It was not until Yuwentai returned to the army that he was put down.

Coincidentally, during the Battle of Heqiao, Ke Zhu Hunyuan was beaten and fled alone, and his tribe was captured to Hengnong. This group of soldiers from the Eastern Wei Dynasty also chose to rebel. Tai broke the city again, and hundreds of leaders were killed.

One reason why the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty were unwilling to surrender was that their family members were all in Jinyang.

Another reason is that Gao Huan really has nothing to say to the Six Towns Xianbei, and now he has introduced military pay, which is even worse than the original time and space.

No matter how big Yu Wentai's heart was, he didn't dare to take these soldiers from the Eastern Wei Dynasty to the battlefield to fight the Gao family. They couldn't be killed, and they couldn't be used. They could only be placed in the rear, just like the battle of Heqiao.

To put it simply, Gao Cheng's plan was at a stalemate with Yu Wentai on the front line, and at the same time he was agitating for the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to cause chaos in the rear. The rear was overwhelmed.

In this way, Yuwentai will inevitably fall into a dilemma, a dilemma.

If you are eager to return to aid, it may give the Eastern Wei an opportunity to take advantage of it. If you sit back and watch the chaos in the rear, Chang'an may be taken away by soldiers.

In the process of Gao Cheng secretly contacting the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Aunt Yuwen contributed a lot. Originally, Gao Cheng wanted her to inquire about the news in Kansai, but she never got any major gains.

As a woman, it is true that she cannot get access to important information, but as Yuwentai's sister, she can calmly bridge the Eastern Wei spies and soldiers. After all, no one would have thought that Yuwentai's sister had already been instigated.

Now the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty have been assembled in secret, and the date of the riot is just two days later, that is, November 23.

After Gao Cheng received the information, he immediately met Gao Huan. Gao Huan saw his happy face and guessed that the long-awaited opportunity might be approaching. He straightened his stooped waist and asked urgently:

"But there is news of the surrender?"

"Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father, the great event will be accomplished."

While announcing the good news, he immediately handed the secret letter to Gao Huan.

After Gao Huan watched it, he couldn't hide his joy, and laughed out loud, as if laughing too much, so that he coughed violently.

It was not easy for Gao Cheng to calm his breath, Gao Huan said with emotion:
"I never thought that the defeat in the past is actually the opportunity for victory today. The cause and effect are really hard to guess."

Of course, these words are just Gao Huan's self-consolation for the defeat of the first Western Expedition. After all, if he wins, it is impossible for him to have the hard work he is now.

But Gao Cheng couldn't possibly run on him, he just agreed with him with a smile.

In the Eastern Wei army, Gao Cheng played the role of the mastermind, and Gao Huan was still the supreme commander in name, but it was Gao Cheng who really managed the Western Expedition.

From his suggestion to use the Eastern Wei Dynasty to subdue the soldiers, since entering the customs, whether it is stagnant in the east of Weibei, always unwilling to approach Chang'an, or building a city, and launching a public opinion offensive, all actions serve one purpose:
Let Yu Wentai go east to meet the enemy, leaving Chang'an and its surroundings empty.

After all, if the allied forces of the Western Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty had been stationed in Bashang, no matter how loyal the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty were, they would not dare to cause trouble, and there was a risk of exposure if they joined forces under Yu Wentai's nose.

Yu Wentai was already preventing the soldiers from causing chaos. He removed these people from the army and scattered them among the people.

In fact, the surrendered soldiers intended to rebel, but in the final analysis they were still not optimistic about the prospects of the Western Wei Dynasty. Yu Fude, a native of Yongzhou, also held the same view as the surrendered soldiers.

Given the exaggerated disparity in strength between the East and the West, and the fact that millions of soldiers and civilians from the Eastern Wei Dynasty had come to attack, Yu Fude had already had the idea to contribute. Then he led his family and private soldiers to respond and seize Xianyang, just like what they did in the original time and space.

A crisis was brewing around Chang'an, but Taiwei Wangmeng, Pushe Zhou Huida and others who stayed in Chang'an were not aware of it.

 2000 will be updated first, and 8000 will be written in the early morning. Everyone should go to bed earlier and watch it in the morning.
