Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 251 The Incident
The southern tour team went south along the Yiluo River Valley, crossed the Funiu Mountains and entered the Nanyang Basin.

Gao Ao, the governor of Guangzhou, led Huyan, Liu Guizhen, Liu Changdi, Dongfanglao, Liu Shirong, Cheng Wuhu, Han Yuansheng, Liu Taobang and other Han generals to greet them at the state border.

The Battle of the River Bridge did not break out last year, nor was Gao Aocao's head cut off for 38 pieces of silk cloth. At the age of [-], he was still majestic and mighty.

Although the lack of Cui Shan's assistance in government affairs is a bit stretched, but the news that Gao Jishi's official worship of the governor of Shanzhou also made Gao Aocao feel at ease.

However, after meeting Gao Cheng, what Gao Aocao talked about was not his beloved younger brother, but pleading for Cui Yan.

Gao Aocao mentioned that when he hijacked Cui Yan back then, he was assisted by him, and he respected him as a teacher and friend.

He also talked about Cui Shan's hard work in governing the region on his behalf, and praised Cui Shan's talent, so he begged Gao Cheng to let Cui Yan and his son go.

For this smooth donkey, Gao Cheng could only patiently explain:
"Cui Li has stolen more than [-] horses. According to the law, he should be sentenced to death. Now that he is imprisoned but not killed, waiting for the results of the Beijing test, it is already an extrajudicial favor. If Cui Li really has the talent for governing the country, as the governor Gao said, why bother?" Worrying about Cui Yan's life and death."

Seeing that Gao Cheng had made up his mind, Gao Aocao complained to Cui Xian who was in Luoyang.

He and Cui Xian are related by marriage, and the second sister-in-law is Cui Xian's sister, but Gao Aocao and his second elder brother Gao Shen have a normal relationship, and Gao Shen is also at odds with the Cui family.

Hearing this, Gao Cheng said displeasedly:

"Cui Yan speaks without choice, and has his own way of death."

Today is different from the past, Gao Cheng still has a lot of respect for Gao Aocao, but it is true that he no longer coaxes him to make offerings like he used to.

Among them, Gao Cheng's wings have become more and more full, and Gao Aocao has been under Gao Cheng's command for many years, and the relationship between the two masters has long been stable.

Gao Aocao naturally knew Cui Yuan's death-defying remarks. Back then, Hou Jing just didn't listen to the order, so he was placed in the Nanyang Basin. In name, he defended Gyeonggi, but in fact he was guarding and monitoring Jingzhou.

And Cui Yan's words were even worse than Hou Jing's, which made it difficult for Gao Aocao to continue to refute him.

During this southern tour, there was another person besides Gao Aocao who was paying close attention to Cui Yuan's life and death, and that was Hou Jing, governor of Jingzhou.

Just as I said just now, Cui Yuan's remarks are more serious than Hou Jing's mistakes in the past. If Gao Cheng treats Cui Yuan leniently and does not kill him, Hou Jing's heart can be reassured.

It was precisely this point that Gao Cheng wanted to understand, so he set up the scene of saving his father in the Beijing test. For the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Hou Jing could rebel, but it is definitely not now.

From the beginning to the end, Gao Huan, Gao Cheng and his sons implemented the strategic policy of first west and then south. It was clear that the Eastern Wei Dynasty was strong, but the long-term defensive position in the face of Nanliang in the past few years was also a manifestation of this strategy.

If Hou Jing ran to Liang and rebelled again, and let Yuwentai take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of Bashu as in history, Gao Cheng would regret it.

Under the welcome of Gao Aocao and other Han generals, 5000 Luoyang Jingji troops and [-] personal guards, a total of [-] guards led by Gao Cheng, stationed in Luyang (Lushan, Henan), the governor of Guangzhou.

Gao Cheng was not in a hurry to rest, Gao Aocao led the way, and Gao Cheng took some of his personal guards to visit the soldiers at the Gyeonggi Army Camp in Guangzhou.

When Gao Aocao was released, he took away 4000 Han troops from the [-]-strong Gyeonggi Army. One of the important purposes of Gao Cheng's trip was to connect with these Gyeonggi Army soldiers.

Guarding generals such as Gao Aocao may be called back to Luoyang to report on their duties from time to time, but these soldiers who are divided into various places are not allowed to be recruited, and it is impossible to enter Beijing with the master.

Otherwise, one day when a certain general is reporting on his duties, his brain will twitch, and he will pass by Qingjun's side, how can such a matter be justified.

When Gao Cheng went south, what he brought most was fine wine, he almost ransacked all the cellars in Luoyang, but this time when he visited the soldiers, Gao Cheng drank and had fun with everyone in the camp, full of laughter.

Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, Gao Cheng impromptuly boarded the general's platform, recalling the past with the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Army stationed in Luyang, counting down the powerful enemies that the soldiers have repeatedly defeated since they fought with him, and everyone in the audience was in high spirits.

Gao Cheng never defaulted on the rewards for military exploits, unlike a powerful official of the Western Wei Dynasty who did not want to be named, [-] pieces of cloth had to be paid in installments, and the installments were not paid off until the country perished.

At the beginning of the second year of Taichang (532), Gao Cheng was appointed as the governor of Gyeonggi, and led the Gyeonggi Army led by Gao Aocao, Duan Shao, and Yaoxiong. Based on this, military salaries have been issued for seven years.

Now Gao Aocao's [-] Han army has not much personal attributes left. In the past seven years, Gao Cheng has accumulated a high prestige among the soldiers through victories. The reason why the soldiers are divided into different places.

A commander who treats soldiers well, rewards and punishes them fairly, and wins battles, even if he can't suck pus for soldiers like Wu Qi, can still win the support of soldiers.

Going away with all his heart, Gao Cheng was slightly drunk when he left, he did not ride a horse after drinking, and he did not drink while riding a horse. He was escorted back to the city by his personal guards in a carriage, leaving Gao Aocao in the army to continue to have fun with everyone.

However, the appearance of a person made Gao Cheng completely drunk.

"The villain Jingzhao, sue the governor of Guangzhou, Gao Aocao, for his crimes, and ask the general to uphold justice."

The house slave Jingzhao lay on the road, blocking the progress of the carriage. He held up the "Taichang Law" that was printed and distributed nationwide, and shouted hoarsely.

The surrounding people gathered together, wanting to watch the excitement, some people blocked the way to complain, and sued the governor of a state, this is really a new thing.

Gao Cheng gestured to the new trusted governor Wei Xingqing with his eyes, and Wei Xingqing came over with his ears, only to hear Gao Cheng whisper:
"For the sake of guarding against assassins, disperse all the onlookers, and then bring those who complained to their residences."

Wei Xingqing was a little surprised, he had served as Gao Cheng's confidant and governor for a while, and he knew that he was surrounded by heavy guards, and he had never driven people along the way.

However, he followed Gao Cheng's order and ordered the guards to disperse the people. When Wei Xingqing went to check Jingzhao's situation again, he found that the reason why the man in front of him was lying on the ground was because his legs were broken and he couldn't walk.

Hearing that Gao Cheng wanted to take him back to his residence, Jing Zhao was not afraid at all, even though the people had been driven away, he still said loudly:
"I have heard that the general is merciful and loving, regardless of his status. In the past, Sizhou shepherds tortured and killed slaves and maidservants. The general punished them with capital punishment according to the law. I believe in the general and is willing to go with me."

Gao Cheng in the carriage frowned. Back then, when he was executed according to the law for crimes of torturing and killing slaves, corruption and other crimes, he was Sizhou Shepherd. The main reason was to make room for Ke Zhu Hunyuan.

"Taichang Law" expressly prohibits prostitution, with varying penalties.

Now that Gao Aocao's death, Dong Chuang's incident happened, although he didn't take his life, so he wouldn't be sentenced to death, but how to deal with it really gave Gao Cheng a headache.
