Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 458 sentimental
During the southern tour, whenever there were formal occasions, Gao Cheng always brought four wives Er Zhu Ying'e, Song Shi, Yuan Zhonghua, and Xiao Miaoxuan to attend, impartially.

After Jiankang's trip was over, Gao Cheng set off for Jiangzhou.

Wu Mingche, the governor of Jiangzhou, went to the prefecture to meet him alone. After meeting Gao Cheng, he followed Liu Zhongli's example and asked himself to be relieved of his military power.

"Why is Manager Wu so thoughtful? Your efforts are needed to destroy Lingnan."

Gao Cheng helped Wu Mingche up, and said in relief.

Seeing that Gao Cheng's expression did not seem to be fake, Wu Mingche finally let go of what he had been carrying for more than a month.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust. I am willing to be the pioneer of the king and wipe out Lingnan!"

When entering Xunyang City, Gao Cheng changed into an airtight carriage, and in Jiankang he sat in an open-top car because of impulsiveness, so there was no danger.

But this time with the matter of Jiankang, Xiao Gao Wang was worried that there were really diehards who would try to assassinate the king to restore the country, so he naturally changed to a sturdy airtight carriage.

It doesn't matter whether he shows his face or not, the accompanying [-]-step cavalry can show his majesty.

When Gao Cheng came to Xunyang, it was already midwinter, and it was snowing in the south of the Yangtze River.

On the second day of the banquet, Gao Cheng immediately summoned Wu Mingche to cook wine with him and discuss the three-way attack on Chen.

Duan Shao originally had [-] soldiers in Jiangdong, and Gao Cheng sent another [-] for him, making a total of [-] soldiers.

And Wu Mingche originally had tens of thousands of former Liang elite soldiers under his command, and Gao Cheng had to allocate Liu Zhongli's elite soldiers to gather 5 troops.

Gao Cheng still has the heart to send another 15 paces south next year, assigning them to Gao Jishi and Hu Luguang. [-] troops will attack Chen three times, and leave [-] troops for Hu Luguang to prevent Yuwentai from going out. Waiting for an opportunity to seize Chuzhou and open the door to Shu.

At that time, Gao Cheng will sit in Xunyang in the name of his own conquest, coordinate the progress of the three armies, and at the same time allocate logistics for them, but will not specifically interfere in the frontline operations.

Even though Nanchen is only a small country occupying the south of the Five Ridges, the big head of this achievement of destroying the country has to be taken into the arms of King Gao himself.

It's not that he insists on taking the credit with his generals, even if he stays in Luoyang, later generations will credit Gao Cheng with the credit for unification, and if King Gao took this credit, it's hard for someone else to give him the credit reward.

What's more important is to protect these generals, and worry that someone who won the merit of destroying the country alone will cause disasters because of their high achievements.

This point is not only aimed at Wu Mingche, no matter Duan Shao, Gao Jishi, or even Hu Luguang, they are all ministers of Gao Cheng's hidden residence.

Of course, under the coordination of Gao Cheng, it is also possible to prevent people from being greedy for meritorious deeds, causing the three armies to be defeated one by one.

Gao Cheng and Wu Mingche spent the whole night planning the marching route of the Jiangzhou army.

It was dawn outside the window, Gao Cheng and Wu Mingche were exhausted.

Last night it was Er Zhu Ying'e's turn to attend the bed, but Wu Mingche interfered with the matter, but she still enthusiastically brought soup and food to the door and invited Wu Mingche to have dinner together.

Erzhu Ying'e is nearly forty years old. She has been pampered and well-maintained all these years, and she still retains a lot of brilliance.

Of course, Xiao Gao Wang would not say anything to the old people just because they were old and decrepit. It stands to reason that you should fall out of favor at your age. '

If you are so heartless, you deserve to be smothered to death by the person next to your pillow.

Even for the 44-year-old Yuan Mingyue, when he was in Luoyang, Gao Cheng still loved him very much, and would go to her room to sleep for a night every once in a while.

Wu Mingche refused in fear and fear, and was about to resign, but Gao Cheng persuaded him to stay.

Now Xiao Gao Wang no longer moves like a fish in water, but often keeps his confidants to accompany him for meals, and occasionally recalls the past with them, and deepens his relationship with them.

After becoming a grandfather, 33-year-old Gao Cheng is much more stable than before.

Wu Mingche accompanied Gao Cheng to have breakfast with great care, and after leaving the temporary palace, all the apprehension during the meal turned into unconcealable joy.

Of course he knew that this was Gao Cheng's way of beneficence, to get closer to him.

What the Son of Heaven did was naturally of great use to him. As he said before, the three armies attacked Chen, and he alone led the people in Jiangzhou.

Now there is no trace of doubt anymore, his mind is full of thoughts about Fa Chen, and he is not worried at all that he will be replaced in battle.

Gao Cheng didn't sleep all night, and after eating breakfast, he was also very sleepy.

Erzhu Ying'e knelt and sat on the imperial couch just like 20 years ago.

Seeing this, Gao Cheng recalled the game back then, and dismissed everyone who was serving him, leaving him and Er Zhu Ying'e alone.

Little Gao Wang bowed down and said:
"Chen Gaocheng, I greet Your Highness."

Er Zhu Ying'e raised her hand and said:
"Gao Qing is exempt."

After all, the two looked at each other and smiled. This was their boudoir fun 20 years ago, and it has not been staged for many years now.

After many years, Gao Cheng once again put a pillow on Er Zhu Ying'e's thigh.

The tight muscles on the thighs have long since disappeared, and they have loosened a lot.

In order not to lose her son Gao Xiaozhang's status in front of Han Chen, Er Zhu Ying'e, who can kill with a bow, has become much quieter in recent years.

Even if Gao Cheng brought his family to hunt, Er Zhu Ying'e always maintained a demure appearance, making people think that she was a virtuous woman, not a rough barbarian woman.

"Do you still remember the first time I met you?"

Gao Cheng leaned on his legs, closed his eyes and talked about the past, his voice became weaker, but he fell asleep.

Er Zhu Ying'e played with his hair as always, and recalled the young man who entered the palace recklessly in his mind.

But she also found a strand of white hair from Gao Cheng's temples, Er Zhu Ying'e sighed in her heart, it turned out that she was not the only one who lost her youth.

Quan Yuanqi and Sun Simiao have been taking care of Xiao Gaowang's meals these years, but no matter how he eats and maintains his health, he can't stand his indulgence and pleasure. It is an idiot's dream.

Back then, Gao Cheng even imagined what he would do if he boiled his sons to death.

Now I'm afraid Gao Xiaozhang, Gao Xiaoyu and his brothers will have to send him to the end.

In the afternoon, when Gao Cheng woke up, Er Zhu Ying'e combed his hair, and also caught a glimpse of a strand of white hair on the sideburns in the bronze mirror, thinking:

'It's time for moderation! '

Then a secret order was sent back to Luoyang. From now on, the relatives of criminal officials and criminals will no longer be sent to Yaoguang Temple, but will return to the palace as maidservants according to the old practice.

Little Gao Wang is naturally sentimental about the age, lamenting the passing of time.

But during his southern tour, whether it was Chen Baxian from Southern Chen or Yu Wentai from Shudi, they all maintained a state of high tension.

No one knew whether Gao Cheng would use the name of the Southern Expedition to carry out the Southern Expedition. After all, the accompanying [-] cavalry, together with the original soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, were enough to launch a great war to destroy the country.

Chen Ba first dispatched his trusted generals to guard the various roads in Nanling, and Yu Wentai also strengthened the guarding force in Chuzhou. Fortunately, the battle during the defense never broke out.
