Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 87
"Ji Shi! Zitong!"

Gao Cheng came to Liang Jun's camp, crying Gao Jishi's name.

Gao Jishi was wounded all over his body, and was lying in Gao Aocao's arms to be treated by the doctor.

Hearing Gao Cheng's cry, Gao Jishi held his breath and responded outside the tent:
"My lord, I'm here."

Gao Cheng broke through the crowd and rushed into the tent, looking at the wound on Gao Jishi's body, he wanted to hug him but dared not, looking at a loss.

Finally, he knelt down before him and wept loudly:
"Although I defeated Liang Ren today, I must have lost Ji Shi first! If something happens to Ji Shi, even if I take Chen Qingzhi's head, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

When Gao Aocao heard the words, tears welled up in his eyes. Gao Cheng's words were also on his mind. He bowed his head and choked up, saying:

"Brother must not be so impulsive in the future."

"But my brother went to the battle, and he went forward like this."

Gao Jishi grinned at Gao Cheng again and said:
"My son, in today's battle, let me, Gao Jishi, take the lead!"

Gao Cheng wiped away his snot and tears, and seeing that there was only one military doctor present in the tent besides himself and the Gao brothers, he complained in a low voice:

"Ji Shi and I love each other like brothers, if you want to be rich, why fight with your life."

He completely forgot who was instigating the general before, and encouraged Gao Ji to lead the troops to fight back.

"A real man should be named a marquis with military merits, how can he be a flatterer and invite pets!"

Gao Jishi was so excited that he even pulled the wound, frowning in pain, but tried not to make a sound.

Gao Aocao was moved by their friendship, he comforted Gao Cheng and said:
"The governor doesn't need to blame himself. Ji Shi is my younger brother, Gao Aocao, so how can he be greedy for life and fear death."

In words, he couldn't hide his pride in Gao Jishi's efforts to turn the tide.

Gao Cheng nodded, deeply agreeing with this, and said to Gao Jishi:

"Ji Shi must take the lead in this battle. I will report to my father, and I will be promoted to Ji Shi as a general in the army, and I will no longer be in the position of guard."

Although he had to look for the third trusted governor again, seeing Gao Aocao and Gao Jishi's excited expressions, Gao Cheng no longer felt that it was a troublesome matter.

If meritorious service is not rewarded, who will work for him in the future? It is hard to expect Xiao Gaowang, who has learned riding and archery from Duan Shao for three years, but has mediocre martial arts, to fight on his own.

After leaving the tent, Gao Cheng deliberately told a civil official waiting outside the tent, and said:

"You tell the doctor on my behalf: 'If you hear something in your ears, don't keep it in your heart, let alone hang it in your mouth. If you keep your mouth shut, you will have a future.'"

After speaking, Gao Cheng went straight to the general platform.

The soldiers sent to clean up the battlefield had brought back the bodies of four hundred guards.

The generals of Duan Shao, Murong Shaozong and Gao Aocao have gathered their soldiers to obey orders in the audience.

Gao Cheng looked at the lifeless faces lying on the ground.

Some are familiar faces, some are unfamiliar faces.

They are all old people who have followed him since Hebei.

Even though he is as hypocritical and cunning as little Gao Wang, it is inevitable that he will regret it in his heart.

Can't help but mourn:

"Gao Cheng was young, living in Luoyang, he was always in a state of fear, fearing that he would be murdered, and with your guards by his side, I can govern the country with peace of mind.

"You don't need to worry about the aftermath, I, Gao Zihui, once again swear to the Tianmeng that as long as I stand between the heaven and the earth, your orphans will be taken care of.

"Whoever is willing to be a writer, I will send him to study and govern the local area in the future.

"Whoever wants to join the army, I will teach him to practice martial arts, and he will serve as a general in the future.

"For those who have no heirs, I will choose filial children from your clan to continue the blood, so that you will not lose blood and food under the nine springs."

Then he shouted to all the soldiers in the army:
"I, Gao Zihui, will definitely not treat you badly for those who fought for my Gao family. Those who fought bravely today will be rewarded heavily after returning to Luoyang."

The remaining [-] guards and Gao Ao Cao's department cheered for joy immediately.

Gao Cheng shouted again:
"Today's plunderers, I want you to realize your shame and move forward. I will not punish the previous crimes. If there is another person who dares to commit crimes, no matter how humble the official position is, even if I fight all the people to betray their relatives, I will punish him with military law!"

After all, he shouted:

"Duan Shao! Murong Shaozong! Did you hear that?"

"Keep it in mind at the end!"

After the two responded, Duan Shaochao's subordinates shouted:

"Today, I am fortunate to have the Governor forgive my crimes. In the future, if there are people who disobey the orders, before the Governor kills me, I will kill those who disobey the order first, and go to Huangquan to find the way for me!"

Murong Shaozong agreed.

All the soldiers knelt down and kowtowed to thank Gao Cheng'en for his forgiveness.

Looking at Gao Cheng's short body, he felt a little more respect.

When the army was defeated, he regrouped calmly and finally turned defeat into victory. Today's battle can be regarded as the initial establishment of prestige in the army by Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng couldn't help feeling regretful, if there were only a few hundred people vying for supplies, he wouldn't mind borrowing heads to correct the army.

But there are more than [-] people participating in the robbing. If they are punished at this time, fear of chaos, they can only pull Duan Shao and Murong Shaozong to perform this scene.

Everything will be settled after the three thorns are settled. When we return to Luoyang, we must take advantage of this matter to rectify the various ministries in Gyeonggi and completely hold the [-] army in our hands.

If Gao Huan knew the danger of this battle, he would support him to organize the army in Luoyang.

Just after he got off the general's platform, he led Yang Min and the officials not far away, when a sentry came to report that Hu Sichun had abandoned Xiangyang and went south.

A very winking young civil official immediately said happily:
"In the battle of Xiangyang, the prince defeated the [-] coalition forces of Chen Qingzhi and Hu Sichun, and confiscated countless supplies. Congratulations to the prince! Congratulations to the high king! Congratulations to the great Wei!"

Seeing this, the rest congratulated Gao Cheng one after another.

Gao Cheng couldn't help but look sideways: Is this also possible?

He coughed lightly and said:

"Don't talk nonsense. Hu Sichun abandoned the city and left. He never fought with me. However, I didn't count Chen Qingzhi's tribe in detail. I don't think it was fifty thousand or thirty thousand."

"Reporting to the son, there are countless times, there are 5 people."

"It's more than [-]. I can see clearly that there are Liang troops all over the mountains and plains. If the son hadn't personally led Gao Aocao and Gao Jishi to fight, how could the battle be turned around."

The clerks were chattering, making Gao Cheng blush:
It's over, it's over.

In the end, it was Gao Cheng himself who made the decision:
"Today's defeat of Chen Qingzhi's [-] Liang army was really due to the two generals Gao Aocao and Gao Jishi. How can I, Gao Zihui, pretend to be a person who claims merit?"

Chen Qingzhi, who led the 5000 people to retreat calmly, even sneezed, feeling puzzled:
'Could it be because of the wind and cold?After all, the body is too weak. '

Gao Cheng looked at the little clever ghost who was the first to congratulate, and after asking the name, Gao Cheng remembered it in his heart.

This kind of flatterer must not be let out to harm the common people, and he should stay with him in the future to repair his daily life note, so as to provide first-hand credible information for future generations to write history.

Gao Cheng immediately ordered people to gather his troops and prepare to march into Xiangyang.

But Yang Min beside him persuaded in a low voice:

"Today's pursuit is really dangerous, the son is noble, you should proceed with caution."

Gao Cheng shook his head, explained with a smile:
"It's my first time to lead the army, and I have little prestige. The Liang people insulted my father and gave them women's skirts, but I endured more than ten days without leaving the camp. If I just sit back and watch the Liang people retreat, what will the soldiers think of me?"

After all, Duan Shao was ordered to lead the army first and stationed in Xiangyang.

　see you at nine o'clock
