Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 79 Dynamics

It was when the two were alone that Chen Yuankang was deeply moved by Gao Cheng's regard for him.

But he also knew that disobeying Gao Huan's order would not have any effect on the result except that Gao Cheng would be beaten with sticks.

Chen Yuankang knelt down and begged Gao Cheng to allow him to go north to Jinyang.

Seeing Gao Cheng's reluctance to agree for a long time, Chen Yuankang choked up and said to show his loyalty:

"There is no two suns in the sky, Yuan Kang only has the sun in his heart."

Gao Cheng hurriedly corrected his mistake and said loudly:

"Father is the only sun in Wei, and it is the will of heaven to choose him."

After finishing speaking, he ran out of the side room in a hurry and felt relieved when he saw no one around.

I couldn't help but shouted in my heart in the direction of Jinyang:
'Loyal!sincerity! '

At the same time, Dugu fell into a difficult choice as he wished.

31-year-old Dugu Ruyuan grew up in Wuchuan Town since he was a child. He has a handsome appearance and is good at riding and shooting.

Of course, all the children of the rich family who were born in northern Xinjiang were not far behind in riding and shooting.

As for the low-level garrison soldiers from poor backgrounds, there are very few people who are really good at riding and shooting.

For example, Gao Huan, who has power all over the world, didn't get his first horse in his life until he married Lou Zhaojun. Among the six towns Xianbei who valued martial bravery, Gao Huan, who was full of scheming, seemed so different.

Dugu fulfilled his wish and made friends with He Bayue, Yu Wentai and others from his hometown since childhood. At the age of 23, he followed the He Ba brothers and Yu Wen's family to attack and kill Wei Kegu.

After moving to Hebei, he joined Ge Rong with the Yuwen family and was known as Dugu Lang.

Ge Rong was defeated, and was recommended by He Ba brothers, and Dugu joined Er Zhurong as he wished.

Since he was stationed in Jingzhou, Dugu has successively served as the general of Xinye Town and the governor of Nanxiang County as he wished, but he has always served as the governor of Jingzhou Fangcheng.

Nanxiang County City, County Guard Mansion.

"Behind it, Hu Sichun used the name of the emperor to trap and kill the governor and seize the prefecture. Now that he has sent an envoy to negotiate with me, what should I do?"

Dugu Ruyi kindly called the Xianbei name of the trusted general Yang Zhong and asked.

Yang Zhong's experience is much more tortuous than Dugu's fulfilling his wish. He is similar to Gao Huan, claiming that he is from the Hongnong Yang family. Now that the Yang family is almost extinct, no one can tell whether his origin is true or not.

According to his own statement, after the Six Towns Uprising, Yang Zhong went to Mount Tai to avoid disaster, but was captured by the Nanliang army who took advantage of the chaos and lived in Nanliang for five years.

After the Heyin Incident, Yang Zhong was able to return to his hometown with Beihai Wang Yuanhao who rebelled against Wei and surrendered to Liang. There was a Nanliang general who commanded 7000 people with him, and that person was named Chen Qingzhi.

Yang Zhong's trip back to his hometown is also more commonly known as Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition.

It can be regarded as a little joke made by history, Sui Taizu was actually a participant in Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition.

After Yuan Hao's defeat, Yang Zhong joins the Erzhu Clan, and after many twists and turns, he becomes Dugu's wish-fulfilling general.

The 27-year-old Yang Zhong pondered over and over again before he said:

"Now that He Liuhun occupies the Kanto region and controls the imperial court, while He Bagong sits in the Kanxi region and accumulates strength, there must be a battle between the two. Duke Ming thinks, can He Liuhun accommodate us?"

As soon as the words came out, the positions of the two Wuchuan people were undoubtedly revealed by the titles of Gao Huan and He Bayue.

"If Husichun is destroyed, we will become trapped beasts in He Liuhun's cage!"

Dugu said with hatred as he wished.

He is very aware of his political affiliation, as the child of He Bayue and Yu Wentai, and also participated in the beheading of Wei Kegu, in Gao Huan's eyes, he is the iron-clad He Bayue party member.

The reason why he didn't deal with himself for a long time was just that he was busy taking over all parts of Shandong and completely eliminating the Erzhu clan's forces, so he had no time to look south.

Now that the Kanto region is basically pacified, and Hu Sichun invaded and occupied Jingzhou, there is no guarantee that Gao Huan will not take him to Jinyang to take care of him after defeating Hu Sichun, and his life will be in his hands from then on.

Yang Zhong tried his best to persuade him:
"Since that's the case, why should Duke Ming hesitate? Soldiers are precious and quick. Before the news spread, he and Hu Sichun divided troops to capture the Southern Jing and Dongjing. With the land of the Three Thorns, he contacted He Bagong in the west and contacted Duke Heba in the south. It is a wise move for Xiao Liang to make friends with him and to counter He Liuhun."

Dugu was delighted to hear the words as he wished, and immediately received the envoy of Hu Sichun again, saying that he would divide troops with Hu Sichun to attack and occupy the Southern Jing and Dongjing.

When Hu Sichun received the emissary's report, he did not doubt Dugu's sincerity in cooperating as he wished. It was precisely because of his Wuchuan background and his close relationship with He Bayue that he chose to cooperate with him.

How could the dignified Dugu Lang not know the truth about the dead lips and the cold teeth.

The two people with the same interests didn't even need to make an oath, and Hu Sichun followed suit. No one would have thought that Hu Sichun, the number one hero of Gao Huan's Erzhu family, would rebel and easily occupy East Jingzhou.

Hu Sichun served as the governor of Jingzhou and the governor of East Jingzhou. While recruiting troops, he sent envoys to ask Xiao Liang to surrender.

Hu Sichun had no psychological barriers to submitting to Nanliang as a minister. After Er Zhurong died, he was attached to Runan Wang Yuanyue for a while, and planned to go to Nanliang with him.

It was only after hearing that Er Zhuzhao captured Luoyang that he returned to the embrace of the Er Zhu family.

As for the other force of the Three Thorns Mutual Protection, although Dugu's wish has gone through some twists and turns, he finally captured Southern Jingzhou under the orders of Yang Zhong and other generals, while retaining the governor of Jingzhou Fangcheng and the governor of Nanxiang County. He served as the governor of Southern Jingzhou.

In addition to recruiting troops, on the one hand, he sent people into Kansai to contact He Bayue, and on the other hand, he sent Yang Zhong as an envoy to take refuge in Xiaoliang in order to occupy the territory.

Yang Zhong has lived in Nanliang for five years and has a lot of contacts, so he is the perfect candidate for the mission.

In name, Xiao Liang won the Three Thorns of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties for nothing, and even Bodhisattva Xiao moved his heart and hurriedly ordered Chen Qingzhi to move to Jiangling to support him.

When Hu Sichun and Dugu fulfilled their wish, the Sanjing Mutual Insurance was in full swing, but Gao Huan, who was far away in Jinyang, never went south.

The monarch ate fast and recited Buddha's name all day, and there were several civil strife in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but they only went north with a small force to win prizes. Such a force was no threat.

For Gao Huan, his archenemy was Kansai Hebayue from beginning to end.

He Bayue's accumulation of power in Kansai has attracted his attention, and the surrender of Hexi Feiye also made Gao Huan feel like a stick in his throat.

It is imminent to beat the head of Fei Ye, even before Liu Lisheng's forces are blocked between Jinyang and Kansai.

Gao Huan focused on Hedouling Yili, the head of Fei Ye who had recently joined Hebayue.

After the good brothers Gao Huan and Er Zhuzhao teamed up to defeat the Hedouling Bufan, Hedouling Yili became the new leader of the Hedouling tribe.

Because of this kind of old friend, it is understandable that Hedouling Yili chose to attach himself to Hebayue.

Gao Huan believed that it was enough to have Hou Jing and Gao Aocao in the land of three thorns, and he even wrote to warn Gao Cheng to be the commander in name and not to command indiscriminately.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Turn the time back to the day after Gao Cheng received Gao Huan's letter.

In the second year of Taichang, the third day of February.

Gao Cheng went out to the north gate of Luoyang to see him off, and said goodbye to Chen Yuankang, each with tears in their eyes.

Chen Yuankang was born with well-developed tear glands, while Gao Cheng has worked hard to hone his acting skills in the past three years.

Even the high-ranking officers on the side were saddened by the deep love between the two masters and servants.

Gao Gan was relieved of the title of servant by Yuan Quan because of Ding You's permission, and the position of Sikong was left idle.

So Gao Huan transferred the senior cadres to Jinyang to listen.

In fact, Gao Aocao's subordination to Gao Cheng was the deeper reason.

Little Gao Wang was very suspicious, how could Zhen Gao Wang let the Gao brothers reunite in Luoyang.

After seeing off Gao Gan and Chen Yuankang, Gao Cheng packed up his mood and returned to Shangshu Province.

After making the decision to send the Zongwang family slaves who participated in the rebellion to the mining area for labor reform, Gao Cheng ushered in a new servant, Sima Ziru.

And his good brother, Sima Xiaonan.

There is no need to talk about the relationship with Sima Xiaonan, after all, it is for his own sake, the wronged brother who was hanged and beaten by Sima Ziru.

However, public opinion in the government and the public was not friendly to Sima Ziru. They called Gao Cheng, Li Yuanzhong, Gao Longzhi, and Sima Ziru the four nobles of Luoyang.

Gao Cheng laughed it off.

But Li Yuanzhong, Gao Longzhi, and Sima Ziru did not dare to stand side by side with Gao Cheng. In the past, the two nobles in Luoyang were still restless, and it was the end of Yuan Dan's death, not to mention the four nobles assisting the government.

I don't know who solved the problem for the three of them. A secret service agency who didn't want to be named spread nursery rhymes everywhere:
"The four nobles in Luoyang, Gaocheng is the most expensive; among the virtuous people in Kyoto, Zihui is the most virtuous."

Let the respect between the four of them become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Gao Cheng was very annoyed by this: How exactly does the hearing department manage and control the public opinion in Luoyang!How can we let nursery rhymes be sung everywhere!

He strictly ordered Zhao Yanshen of the Judiciary to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Zhao Yanshen's painstaking investigation was fruitless, and he was reprimanded by Gao Cheng. Soon, Zhao Yanshen completely replaced Chen Yuankang and was promoted to Sima of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Gao Cheng also turned his attention to the construction of the Gyeonggi garrison. He continued to send envoys to select athletes from the Henan prefecture soldiers.

Gao Aocao, Yaoxiong and others are organizing their family members to move to Luoyang in Hebei, and Hou Jing, the governor of Jeju, also received Gao Huan's transfer order.

"I am a man, how can I be driven by a Xianbei kid!"

Hou Jing handed over the document and complained to his confidant, Wang Wei, the founder of the government office.

Wang Wei read the letter paper, smiled and comforted:
"Although King Gao ordered Ming Gong to go west to cooperate with his son to attack Hu Sichun, he did not mention that Ming Gong and his son joined forces. The deep meaning of this is clear at a glance, so why should Ming Gong worry about it?"

Although Hou Jing was born in Huaishuo Town, a martial artist from Jie people, but his mind is not dull.

Back then when he was also under Er Zhurong's command, Hou Jing asked Murong Shaozong about the art of war, but after a while, it was Murong Shaozong who began to be ashamed to ask.

What Wang Wei said was profound, and Hou Jing understood it at all. It was nothing more than Gao Huan's fear that Gao Cheng would screw up the situation.

Gao Cheng's subordinates included Murong Shaozong, Gao Aocao, Yaoxiong and others. With so many famous generals assisting him, Gao Huan was still worried about his son, and Hou Jing became more and more contemptuous of Gao Cheng.

Hou Jingchao and Wang Wei laughed in a low voice:
"King Gao is here, I dare not make any difference. If something happens to King Gao, I can't submit to Xianbei's children."

That being said, Hou Jing still ordered his troops to go west.

As he himself said, as long as Gao Huan is still around, he dare not have any dissent.

And He Bayue, who was far away in Kansai, has not been idle. While subduing the forces of all parties in Guanlong, he hastily met with Yu Wentai who had returned from fleeing.

"When Er Zhurong went south to Luoyang, Gao Huan was the first to persuade him to go. He would never resign himself to being under others. The reason why he is still in the Wei family is because he is afraid of your prestige, Mr. Ming.

"Now that Duke Ming has conquered the Guanlong states and Fei Ye's head, his momentum has been greatly increased. There are only a few people who are stubbornly resisting Cao Ni, the governor of Lingzhou, and Zhu Hunyuan, the governor of Weizhou, but they are not to be feared. Duke Ming is truly The one to watch out for is Hou Mo Chenyue, the governor of Qinzhou."

When He Bayue was ordered to quell the Guanlong rebellion, he was worried that his meritorious service would be suspected, so he asked Er Zhu Tianguang to be his commander.

At the same time Er Zhurong gave his permission, he granted He Bayue the governor of the left wing and Hou Mochenyue the governor of the right wing to assist Er Zhu Tianguang.

After Erzhu Tianguang came out to the east, He Bayue and Hou Mo Chenyue jointly strangled the forces of the Zhu clan in Guanxi Er.

He Bayue's conquest of the Longyou prefectures undoubtedly violated the vital interests of Hou Mo Chenyue, the second largest power in Guanlong.

Perhaps Gao Huan's original appointment was to create conflicts between the close comrades-in-arms, giving He Bayue the name of commanding Guanlong, but giving Hou Mo Chenyue the military power of the Longyou states.

Yu Wentai continued to analyze for He Bayue:

"Hou Mo and Chen Yue are just a mediocre person, it's just a fluke to get this high position at the right time.

"Duke Ming only needs to recruit Cao Ni and Zhu Hunyuan to meet each other with the order of Daxingtai in Guanxi. If the two cannot evade, Duke Ming can order Hou Mo and Chen Yue to conquer Xia and Wei prefectures.

"If Hou Mo and Chen Yue go, they will consume each other, if they don't go, Ming Gong will also have a chance to solve the scourge of the elbow and armpit.

"At that time, Duke Ming will completely occupy the land of Guanlong, and establish a separate central government, which will be enough to accomplish the achievements of Qi Huan and Jin Wen."

He Bayue was overjoyed when he heard the words, as Yu Wentai said, he had never looked down on Hou Mo Chenyue, and it was all his effort to pacify Guanlong, Hou Mo Chenyue was just used by Er Zhurong to check and balance himself chess pieces.

In He Bayue's mind, it was only a matter of time before all of Guan Long was known, so he eagerly asked Yu Wentai:

"Who does Black Otter think can take over the throne?"

"On my way back to Guanxi, I met Pingyang Wang Yuanxiu and others who were fleeing, and entered the customs with them. All his family members were captured by Gao Huan's troops. Those who plan big things are precious in one heart. Yuanxiu and Gao Huan have a deep hatred , as the master."

He Bayue couldn't wait to order someone to bring Yuan Xiu to examine it himself.

Yuan Xiu also started his second interview with the emperor.

With tears in his eyes, he complained that he was repeatedly bullied by Gao Cheng in Luoyang, and that he fled to Guanzhong because he was afraid of Gao Cheng's connection.

With the acting skills he had once deceived Gao Huan, how could He Bayue see through this man's mind.

After He Bayue appeased him, he ordered people to settle Yuan Xiu properly. On the one hand, he prepared to marry another wife and concubine for Yuan Xiu, and on the other hand, he also started to implement Yu Wentai's plan.

Cao Ni, the governor of Lingzhou, and Ke Zhu Hunyuan, the governor of Weizhou, were ordered to go to Chang'an to report their duties.

At the same time, Yuwentai was promoted to the governor of Xiazhou for his meritorious service in his mission.

Just when He Bayue was full of ambitions, his second elder brother He Basheng was also appointed, packed his bags, and prepared to lead his tribe to Yanzhou as the governor to defend against Nanliang.

For Gao Huan's arrangement, He Basheng was overjoyed.

After Hu Sichun's rebellion, He Basheng was always worried because he had conspired with him.

Now that he was released as the governor, he was relieved.
