Chapter 341
Even though he was told last night that he would be one of the eight Fuling people, Peng Le's excitement didn't calm down until he returned to the mansion.

He knew Gao Huan's views on him, and the two had acquainted very early. In the first year of Yong'an (528), Yang Kan rebelled. Gao Huan fought side by side and forged friendship.

But in the first month of the second year, Peng Le turned his back on the Erzhu family, and led two thousand cavalry to defect to Hanlou of Ge Rongyu's tribe who occupied Youzhou, and named him king of Beiping. Of course, he was just a grass head king.

Er Zhu Rong ordered Gao Cheng's general Hou Yuan to lead Qianqi to attack Han Lou, and Peng Le rebelled against Han Lou and surrendered to Hou Yuan. Therefore, Peng Le was arrogant among the generals in Luoyang, but he was the only one who saw Hou Yuan. Yuan was about to be a head shorter.

There is no way, the black history of the early years is well known, although Peng Le is the Duke of Miyang County, but Hou Yuan is also the dignified Duke of Yuyang County, and Peng Le is worthy of his status.

After the fall of Han Lou, Liu Gui, a senior undercover undercover under Gao Huan's entrustment, transferred Peng Le to his subordinates and followed Gao Huan to Jinzhou.

In this time and space, Peng Le had no chance to accept Yu Wentai's bribe of a bunch of gold belts and let him go. Gao Huan was so angry that he grabbed his head and smashed it on the ground. Next, cut off the guy's head.

But also because of the uncertain past of betrayal, Gao Huan was both useful and defensive to him.

The reason why he is used is because among the generals under his command, in terms of bravery, only Peng Le can compete with Gao Ao Cao.

As for the records in the history books, in order to test the courage of the scholars, Gao Huan asked Peng Le to lead people to fight against the brothers of the Gao family. Gao Cheng and other scholars were afraid and subdued. To capture Peng Le alive, of course, it's just a joke.

Gao Cheng was afraid of the assassin, it was because the assassin really wanted to kill him, and dared to kill him, he was five years older than Gao Yang, if Gao Yang grew up to the age where he could easily capture Peng Le alive, Gao Cheng had also been in power in Ye City for many years.

Uncle Gao Chen was beaten to death for stealing Gao Huan's side room on the front foot. Within a few months, he had the courage to drive a big car at the age of 14, and he was afraid of you, Peng Le, the general of the Gao family.

History has always been a little girl who can be dressed up by others. The history book said that Gao Yang pretended to be stupid, and didn't even know how to wipe the snot from his mouth. After finally dispelling Gao Cheng's suspicion of him, he arranged this plot. It adds luster to Gao Yang, but combined, it always makes people feel that Gao Cheng who was deceived in the past is probably mentally retarded.

Hou Jing once said that both Peng Le and Gao Aocao are like pigs, that is, they run around like wild boars, and there is no lack of contempt in it. The statement of high EQ means that their resourcefulness is slightly inferior to their courage, and the statement of low EQ means that these two guys have no brains.

But Peng Le still has a bit of foresight. When he followed Du Luozhou in the uprising, like Gao Huan, he saw that Du Luozhou could not succeed, so he immediately abandoned him and switched to Er Zhurong.

And when he first met Hu Luguang, he also said to Gao Aocao, "Children of Hu Lu's family, don't go for the third time and win the name later." 'Even if Hu Luguang is given a chance, his reputation will surpass the two of them.

Of course, it was not without misjudgment. Back then, seeing the Southern Liang and Northern Expeditions, Xing Gao’s uprising in Qingzhou, the resurgence of Hebei Ge Rong’s remnants, and the indomitable Guanlong Rebel Army, Peng Le thought that the country was in decline, so he went to vote for Han Lou. The decision almost made him regret his intestines.

Going back to Peng Le and letting Yu Wentai go, Yu Wentai said, 'Idiot man!If there is no me today, how can there be Ruxie tomorrow? 'Wake him up immediately, and Peng Le dare not take the credit. After all, the credit is hard to reward, and he is suspected by the Lord, so there is often no good result.

Unexpectedly, now that he, Peng Le, has wandered for half his life and finally meets a virtuous lord, King Qi really has nothing to say to him, and even arranged for him the errand of supporting the spirit of King Gao.

In troubled times, superiors and subordinates often lack a sense of security for each other. The lord is worried that the generals will rebel, and the generals are also worried that the generals will be killed.

This requires the kindness of the superior and the loyalty of the subordinates. It doesn't matter whether it is sincere or not. Generally speaking, a principle will be followed: since the performance is performed, it must be performed to the end and to death.

Unless the other party made a big mistake, or really acted rebelliously, if you, a superior, double-faced the generals under your command, showed your favor on the surface, and stabbed someone in the back. If you do this kind of thing, who will dare to accept your favor in the future? To work for you.

Peng Le has been born and died for so many years, how can he abandon the wealth he has earned with his life, and think about plotting rebellion. Now the situation is clear. Unless King Qi dies suddenly, there is no possibility of success for the rebellion.

When Gao Cheng asked Peng Le to help the spirit, he was telling the world that Peng Le was one of the closest and most trusted subordinates of my father Gao Huan during his lifetime.

Even if he knew that Gao Cheng was acting, but with this status, Peng Le, as a son of man, would not be able to deal with this meritorious veteran of the Gao family when he was innocent.

After all, you just said that Peng Le is one of the closest generals of your Gao family, and you will take the initiative to kill him. No one will believe what you say in the future.

A monarch who loses credibility in front of his subordinates, especially in troubled times, is undoubtedly a catastrophe, and is not far from defeat.

Whoever is Peng Le, who is suspected by Gao Huan and defended by Gao Cheng, will naturally be like Chen Yuankang, who has only one sun in his heart. Of course, in the sky of Great Wei, only King Qi is left this sun.

In terms of attracting people, there is no comparison between Gao Huan and Gao Cheng. Unfortunately, before his death, the younger Gao Huan taught the elder Gao Huan to be careful of Peng Le. As a result, the new Gao Wang took advantage of the old Gao Wang's funeral and easily let Peng happy home.

Among them, Peng Le can clearly recognize the general trend of the world, and Gao Cheng is clever, or unscrupulous. After all, the ancients advocated filial piety, and few people made a fuss about their father's funeral.

Gao Cheng threw the olive branch over, and Peng Le naturally wanted to catch it firmly.

That night, Peng Le paid a night visit to Prince Qi's mansion, and Gao Cheng met him in the reception room.

"General Peng came to visit late at night, what's the matter?"

Peng Le bowed deeply, choked up and said:
"The last general met the former king in his early years, but he didn't know the heroes. The world was in chaos, and the last general got involved in it. He didn't know the way forward. He changed hands several times and his reputation was notorious.

"It was the former king who ignored the past and asked Liu Gong to summon him. Only then did he become rich and honored today. The former king passed away suddenly, and the general will be restless. The fear of the bad deeds of the past will make the king bored, and he can't eat, and he secretly wants to retreat.

"However, Your Majesty has the legacy of the previous kings, and he is tolerant. He will be the most gracious to the last general. The last general has no other wishes in his life. I only hope that the king will live forever, and the last general and his descendants will serve him wholeheartedly."

Gao Cheng was deeply moved by this, although the last one said, "I wish the king will live forever, and I will serve him wholeheartedly." ’ It was said by He Liuhun to Er Zhuzhao on the bank of Zhangshui River.

But considering that Peng Le had no culture, it was really not easy to hold back these few half-literate words. It was inevitable that he would learn from other people's words, so he didn't mind.

Gao Cheng held Peng Le's hand cordially, let him sit on the same bed with him, and said with emotion:

"Father passed away, and Gu was also anxious and uneasy, fearing that he would not be popular. It was General Peng who drew his sword and asked, so that Gu knew what the generals wanted, and took over the foundation resolutely. General Peng, please don't relax, we will need General Peng to be the lone vanguard when we march south in the future."

Peng Le who just sat down got up immediately and said:
"What the king's banner points out, the general will never move forward, he will enter Jiankang, and capture the old man Xiao Yan alive for the king!"

Gao Cheng laughed loudly when he heard the words

"General Peng, you are so ambitious! To have the loyalty and bravery of a general is like a fish in water, so why worry about the uncertainty of the world."

That night, Gao Cheng stayed with Peng Le, and the two fell asleep on their feet, and their relationship became closer.

After that night, Peng Le often mentioned to others that he was able to support Gao Huan's spirit, and that he was valued by the king of Qi, so he was honored. Such kindness, even if his body was broken, would be difficult to repay. If he had two hearts, he would be no different from a beast.

Of course, these words were mainly for Gao Cheng, and someone would relay them on his behalf.

It is through this method that the masters and ministers deepen their mutual feelings.

For example, the reason why Peng Le visited Gao Cheng at night to express his feelings to him was actually a response to Gao Cheng's selection of him to help the spirit. After all, if Peng Le didn't make this trip, Gao Cheng would wink at the blind.

If you didn't respond, how would I know whether your gesture of kindness to me was an attitude of gratitude or dismissiveness.

Of course, Gao Cheng wanted to use Peng Le. In the original time and space, the Eastern and Western Weis fought against each other. Even if he had the fault of letting Yu Wentai go, Peng Le was the most outstanding general in the Eastern Wei camp. Before the decisive battle, he alone led thousands of fine horses into the camp of the Western Wei Dynasty, captured five county kings, and 48 generals and assistants.

Gao Cheng will not forget Gao Huan's legacy, but he is also confident that he can subdue Peng Le.

In history, there is only a short sentence about Peng Le's death: two years later, rebellion, Liu Zhang and others were sued for the Xiangzhou affairs, and he was put to death.

Interestingly, Gao Huan did not rebel when he died, Hou Jing rebelled, he did not rebel, Gao Cheng was assassinated, he did not rebel, but in the second year after Gao Yang ascended the throne, Peng Le was accused of treason, and there was no disturbance at all. The simple word "Fu Zhu" wrote the ending.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is a story from another time and space. Gao Cheng thinks he is proficient in the art of imperial servants, and Peng Le, who is only mere, can't find the palm of his hand.

After Gao Huan was buried, a prisoner was also sent to Luoyang. It was Liang Jiang Yang Yaren who was captured alive by Duan Shao in the Battle of Xuzhou.

For Nanliang generals and their children, Gao Cheng has always been willing to exchange ransom, but this does not include people with real skills, such as Yang Yaren.

Yang Yaren was taken to Zhongshu Province, Gao Cheng asked:

"Yang Gong was captured for several months, and he was busy with the funeral alone. He was never summoned, but you have to think about it for a while. Can you get anything now? Do you want to surrender?"

A short beard grew under Yang Yaren's chin, and he no longer looked embarrassed when he was chased by Duan Shao. He straightened his waist, raised his head and said:
"I am a mediocre person, fortunately supported by Your Majesty, I was favored by the court, I was defeated in the battlefield, and I have failed His Majesty's high expectations. I should repay my great kindness with integrity, but I want to die quickly, and don't say surrender again."

Hearing this, Gao Cheng said with emotion:
"Yang Gong was originally from the north, and he was squeezed out in the south of the Yangtze River. Why don't you come back here? Liang envoys are coming, and I am willing to negotiate with him to bring Yang Gong's family to Luoyang."

According to Gao Cheng's past habits, if he failed to persuade him to surrender once, he would have gone out and hacked, but this time he gave Yang Yaren a second chance.

Yang Yaren didn't appreciate it, he cursed:

"Han and Hu are incompatible, you Xianbei child, you can be served by my husband of the Han family!"

The spitting stars were about to be sprayed on Gao Cheng's face, Gao Cheng sighed secretly, once he said this, he would not be able to keep Yang Yaren, it's not that the other party scolded him for Xianbei's son, the words have already reached this point, let's go Persuade him to change his mind, and the group of Xianbei generals under his command will also feel dissatisfied.

Only Gao Cheng said calmly:
"Yanggong is from Taishan County, so I went back and took a look at the village, and saw how Gu, a Xianbei boy, treated the name of his subordinates. After reading it, there is no need to go back to Luoyang. If you want to be a false loyal minister, you will go south in Taishan County. and die."

After finishing speaking, they took the surprised Yang Yaren away, and before he left the door, Gao Cheng added another sentence:
"Gu's surname is Gao, his first name is Cheng, and his style name is Zihui. He comes from the Gao family in Bohai. He is a Han Chinese."

Yang Yaren stopped, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth:
"If you think you have attached yourself to the Bohai Gao family, you are also a Han Chinese?"

After all, he was pushed out of the government office by the guards, and handed over to the soldiers who escorted him:
"Your Majesty ordered Yang Yaren to be escorted to Taishan County and face south to die."

Yang Yaren left Luoyang City that day, and went eastward. Qi Wang Gaocheng sat in the wing room of Zhongshu Province, tidied up his Han clothes, and said to himself:

"Gu is of course a Han Chinese."

Yang Yaren had just been sent away, another general came to pay a visit. When he saw Gao Cheng, he greeted Gao Cheng:

"The last general begs the king to give him the surname Gao!"

In ancient times, ancestor worship was a common phenomenon, but this person turned his back on his ancestors and asked for the surname Gao. Naturally, he had his own difficulties.

His name is Yuan Jing'an, he is the fifth grandson of Wei Zhaocheng Emperor Tuoba Shiyiqian, the official clan of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties. When Gao Huan pacified Luoyang, he was recommended by Lou Zhao and appointed as the governor. He served in the army for several years. With many military achievements, he can be regarded as the best member of the Yuan family under Gao's command, except for Yuan Xiaoyou, the dog-licking dog of King Qi.

Now, as one of the many generals of the Gyeonggi Army, Yuan Jing'an sees that the north has been settled, and the Gao family can usurp the country at any time with this great achievement. After Gao's usurpation of the country, he was murdered, so he asked Gao Cheng to change to Gao's surname.

Gao Cheng helped Yuan Jing'an up, and comforted him:

"It's not difficult to give the surname Gao, but the general has a great reputation, and everyone in the world knows the origin, so he can only deceive himself and others.

"Gu intends to make the emperor follow the story of Lord Shanyang, even the emperor can tolerate it, let alone others, Gu really has no intention to increase the killing.

"If the general persists, he is willing to give him his surname. However, if the general trusts him too much, he doesn't need to change his name and surname. He only needs to serve him with sincerity. Not only will his life not be in danger, but he will also pass on his wealth to his family."

After talking about this, Yuan Jingan no longer insisted on rubbing against the Bohai Gao family. He thanked Gao Cheng repeatedly before bowing and leaving.

The Bohai Gao family is really a big dye vat, anyone can jump into it and wash it, you say so, Xu Longzhi.
