Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 254
Wang Wei said that Gao Cheng was very careful, that is to say, when Gao Cheng entered Xiangyang and stayed in the east of the city, he ordered the Gyeonggi Army to take over the east gate of the city. If something happened, he could leave the city immediately through the east gate.

And to go to the governor's mansion for a banquet, there are a thousand guards waiting outside the mansion, if he hadn't brought only a few Ku straight into the mansion to drink, it really makes people think that Gao Cheng is going to take this opportunity to bloodbath the governor's mansion.

Regarding the reminder from counselor Wang Wei, Hou Jing said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Yuwentai is still alive, and the Xianbei kid won't touch me, otherwise you don't have to venture into the mansion today, to comfort me, and watch Cui Yan's life and death, before making any fuss about it."

Speaking of Yuwentai, Hou Jing was still terrified. When He Bayue died, he, a Huaishuo man, rushed to Kansai under Gao Huan's order, trying to succeed He Bayue's generals from Wuchuan, and separate himself from one side.

Fortunately, I met Yu Wentai on the way and was told off by him. Otherwise, if I really arrived in Yangping, I might be caught by the heroes of Wuchuan to sacrifice the flag.

However, I really didn't expect that Yu Wentai would have such a great ability to stabilize the situation in Kansai. If it wasn't for a severe drought, there might be a chance to achieve great things.

Hou Jing said that he was not in a hurry, but he was already thinking in his heart that the Gao family would really unify the north, and when Gao Cheng wanted to attack him again, he would immediately run south.

The north-south confrontation lasted for more than 150 years. Even though Xiao Liang was indifferent, his prospects were far better than those of Kansai.

Why don't you go now?
If he, a Xianbei transformed Jie people, had nowhere to go, how could he be willing to go to Nanliang and be squeezed out by others.

The next day, the sky was bright, Gao Cheng woke up from Lu Niang's room, Hou Jing's hypocritical smile was still echoing in his mind, and he lost his appetite for breakfast.

But after thinking about it, maybe Hou Jing felt the same as himself, and Gao Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

The two clearly hated and guarded each other, yet they had to pretend to know and respect each other, which really disgusted each other.

But it happened that both of them had to play this scene to the end, which was really tormenting.

"Husband, why are you laughing?"

Mother Lu was puzzled.

Now it’s not like when she was Guo’s wife, her father and clan are still prominent, but they can no longer be the backing of her domineering in the inner courtyard. Therefore, since she married into the Bohai Palace, Lu Niang has a low eyebrow and is pleasing to the eye, and she is even more respectful to all the sisters. Plus, but also got a good popularity.

"It's okay, you can rest at home, I have something to do."

Gao Cheng said calmly.

Today he really has business to deal with. He led 4000 personal guards and [-] people from the Gyeonggi Army out of the city. According to memory, he didn’t go far. Gao Cheng found the old place. Therefore, the grass is luxuriant.

Among Gao Cheng's thousand personal guards, there were less than eighty old people who had gone through the battle of Xiangyang back then.

And in the Guard City and the Gyeonggi Army, there were many middle and low-ranking officers with young faces who came out with red eyes. Gao Cheng led the old men to weed, while the young officers walked among the graves. , Scanning all the tombstones, weeping bitterly when he found his father.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Gao Cheng ordered people to place sacrifices one by one, and said to all the relatives:

"In the second year of Taichang (533), Hu Sichun and Dugu believed that Sanjing was a rebellion, and Cheng led the army to suppress the rebellion. At the age of thirteen, the battle with Chen Qing was outside Xiangyang City. At that time, there was no salary in the army, and many soldiers plundered .

"Chen Qingzhi lured us with heavy luggage and disrupted our army formation. At a critical moment, my trusted governor Gao Jishi led 500 of his trusted followers to fight back against the enemy, and Gao Ao Cao led [-] cavalry as his successors, which gave me time to regroup. The army formation, thus retreating the enemy, took advantage of the situation to calm down the three thorns in one fell swoop.

"This cemetery is buried with all the loyal and brave men who died in the battle under the leadership of Gao Jishi and Gao Aocao..."

It's the old-fashioned way to tell everyone how to take care of their families, set up free schools, cultivate orphans, and set up a military salary system, etc. It's a cliché, but these soldiers just eat it.

"Longevity, General!"

"Longevity, General!"

The 5000 people shook their fists and shouted in unison. Even Hou Jing, who was patrolling the city wall, could clearly hear the shouts echoing from the graveyard outside the city.

"Xianbei's son has the military spirit so far?"

Hou Jing looked at the graveyard and muttered to himself.

On the cemetery, Wei Xingqing clenched the steel knife slung around his waist with his left hand, clenched his fist with his right hand again and again, and shouted hoarsely.

Gao Cheng's words, even if Xue Hu'er, an old man in the Gyeonggi Army, heard it again after two years, his blood was still boiling, let alone Wei Xingqing, who was new to Gao Cheng's command, heard it for the first time.

Looking at Gao Cheng enjoying everyone's admiring eyes, Wei Xingqing thought to himself:
'Only such a character can make Gao Jishi risk his life and dare to lead five hundred horsemen to charge an army of ten thousand people. '

He was thinking about this point. Gao Jishi was just pure recklessness. At the age of 17, he led seven cavalry and dared to chase and kill Er Zhuzhao's tens of thousands of troops. He even met Er Zhuzhao face to face. , can't do such a thing.

Gao Cheng lived in Xiangyang for another three days after paying homage to the heroic spirit, and spent every day singing, dancing, feasting and hunting with Hou Jing.

After three days of getting along, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two is so good that they only need to make an oath and become brothers.

However, due to the fact that He Liuhun killed Er Zhuzhao and He Bayue two sworn brothers in a row, Gao Cheng and Hou Jing did not take the step of sworn brotherhood after all.

Of course, Gao Cheng also felt wronged, my surname is Gao, his surname is He, He Liuhun killed his brother, what has it to do with me, Gao Zihui.

When leaving Xiangyang, Gao Cheng and Hou Jing rode together on horseback. Hou Jingtian had short legs and walked with a limp, so he often used horses instead of walking.

Walking outside the city, Gao Cheng and Hou Jing drank the farewell wine, Gao Cheng said with emotion:
"Although we have only been together for a few days, Cheng deeply feels that he and your envoy are congenial. After this farewell, I don't know when we will see you again."

After finishing speaking, he untied a jade pendant from his waist, handed it over, and said:
"I have been adorning this jade for many years, and today I am giving it to the envoy as a token of friendship."

Hou Jing took the jade pendant, his excitement was beyond words, he choked up and said:

"Back then, Jing didn't know heroes and despised the general. Since the town of Xiangyang, he has always felt uneasy. How could the general not blame him for this, and the details are intertwined. Although Jing died, it is difficult to report the eventuality."

Gao Cheng heard the words and blamed:

"How can Hou Shijun talk about life and death lightly? Although you are flesh and blood, you are the Great Wall in the southern border. Please take care of your body and scare the people of Liang so that they dare not look north."

Hou Jing let go of his bold words:

"As long as Fan Jing guards Xiangyang for one day, even if the Liang people have millions of teachers, they will not be able to cross the Han River."

"With Hou Shijun's words, Jingzhou is safe and secure, and Cheng no longer has to worry. It is Cheng's luck to be assisted by a virtuous minister like Hou Shijun."

Gao Cheng laughed brightly.

"A virtuous minister chooses the master to do things. There is a great general who knows the master, and Jing dares not to do his best."

This scene of knowing each other between the master and minister is not over until Gao Cheng and Hou Jingyi bid farewell. Living in a troubled world, if you want to achieve great things, you really can't do it if you are thin-skinned.
