Chapter 45: Dendrobium Light

In Zhaoyang Hall, the eunuchs stood silently by the wall, almost being crushed by two figures sitting upright in the main hall. They didn't dare to breathe. One of the figures that gave them great pressure was Gao Wei and the other was Zuo Xiang Huluguang.

"Your dear is really hardworking and great contributions..." Gao Wei changed into the crown robe he had just taken off. He knew that Hu Luguang was sometimes rigid. Besides, it would be better to meet a hero and father-in-law when he met him.

Speaking of it, it was the first time he met this legendary general in the true sense. When he saw him today, he realized that his father-in-law was indeed worthy of his name.

Huluguang was not as tall as Gao Wei imagined, "he was more than eight feet tall, with a leopard head and eyes, holding a long spear..." Haha, in short, there was still some difference from the invincible famous generals Gao Wei imagined.

Huluguang is not burly in shape, looks ordinary, just like an ordinary middle-aged man, but his eyes are very vivid. The time is to turn his eyes like a steel knife, and he needs to dissect the person and see it clearly. Under this kind of gaze, there is a feeling of being seen through, which makes people dare not act rashly. He has a beautiful beard on his jaw, is taciturn, and is majestic.

Huluguang stroked the beautiful beard on his jaw and said, "I have received the favor of the emperor in the world and taken care of by the ancestors of the four generations. Now that the emperor has just died, the country is in difficult situations, how can we not do our best to protect our great Qi..."

He was neither humble nor arrogant when he spoke, without any pride and pride, but also grand. When Gao Wei was examining him, he was also looking at Gao Wei with sharp eyes.

This is Hu Luguang, the famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Wei's father-in-law.

When Huluguang was young, he was proficient in riding horses and archery, and was famous for his martial arts.

In the late Northern Wei Dynasty, he followed his father Hulu Jin to the west to fight. Mo Zhehui, the chief of Yuwen Tai, was in the martial arts world at this time. After Huluguang saw it, he rode on a galloping horse and shot arrows at him. He took advantage of the opportunity to shoot and captured him alive. At that time, Huluguang was only seventeen years old.

Huluguang was commended by Gao Huan and promoted to the governor. When Gao Huan's eldest son Gao Cheng became the prince, Huluguang appointed as the chief minister, and soon promoted to the general of the captive army, and was promoted to the general of the guard.

In the fifth year of Wuding, the county of Yongle was fled to Yongle. He accompanied Gao Cheng to hunt on Huan Bridge and saw a big bird spreading its wings and flying high. Huluguang picked up the bow and shot it down with an arrow, and it hit the key point. The bird was shaped like a wheel, and it fell down in a rotation. It was seen that it was a big eagle. Gao Cheng took the eagle to watch it and praised him for a long time. Prime Minister Xing Zigao sighed and said, "The real eagle master." At that time, people called him the "Governor of the Lost Eagle".

Soon after, he served as the General of the Left Guard and was promoted to Bo. In the eighth year of Wuding, after Gao Yang established the Northern Qi Dynasty, Huluguang was granted the title of the Three Sessions of Kaifu Yitong and the Zi of Xi'an County. In the third year of Tianbao, he followed Gao Yang's army to go out to the frontier and used military service to Ku Mo Xi.

As the vanguard, Huluguang defeated Kumoxi's army and captured a lot of them and captured some other livestock.

After returning to Yecheng, he was appointed as the governor of Jinzhou.

The leaders of the Tianzhu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xin'an and Niutou Sanshi, often recruited fugitives from the Northern Qi Dynasty and repeatedly plundered Qi territory. In the seventh year of Tianbao, Huluguang led 5,000 infantry and cavalry to attack them. He defeated the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wang Jingjun and others, captured more than 500 people, more than 1,000 animals and returned.

In the ninth year of Tianbao, he led his troops to seize the four garrisons of Jiangchuan, Baima, Zhujiao, Yicheng and other places in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He served as the governor of Shuozhou.

In the tenth year of Tianbao, Huluguang was appointed as the official of the official, and Kaifu Yitong Sansi. In February, he led ten thousand cavalry to attack the Kaifu Cao Huigong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and killed him. The commander of Baigu City, Yitong Xue Yusheng, abandoned the city and fled, so Huluguang occupied Wenhou Town, established a garrison and set up a squarry before returning to Beijing.

In the first year of Ganming, Huluguang was granted the title of Governor of Bingzhou.

In April of the second year of Heqing, Huluguang led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to build the Xunzhang City in the western part of Zhengguan, and built a Great Wall of more than 200 miles, setting up thirteen garrisons. In the first month of the third year of Heqing, the Northern Zhou Dynasty sent generals Da Xi Chengxing and others to plunder Pingyang. Emperor Wucheng ordered Huluguang to lead 30,000 infantry and cavalry to resist. Da Xi Chengxing and others heard that Huluguang was fighting and retreating without fighting. Huluguang took the opportunity to pursue, chased into the Zhou territory, captured more than 2,000 Zhou troops and returned.

In March, he was transferred to Situ. In April, he led his cavalry to fight against the Turks and captured more than a thousand good horses. In the winter of the same year, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Yuwen Yong sent Zhuguo, Grand Sima Yuchi Jiong, Duke of Qi Yuwen Xian, Duke of Zhuguoyong Kechixiong and others to lead 100,000 troops to attack Luoyang.

Huluguang led more than 50,000 cavalry to marches to Luoyang. The two armies fought in Mangshan, and Yuchi Jiong and others were defeated.

Huluguang shot and killed Zhou General Kechixiong, and obtained more than 3,000 head level. Yuchi Jiong and Yuwen Xian were spared from death. They also seized all the armored soldiers and supplies, and piled up dead bodies into Jingguan.

Emperor Wucheng Gao Zhan personally visited Luoyang, Ce Xun presented rewards, and was promoted to Huluguang as the Taiwei, and was also named Guanjun County Duke.

Now Huluguang is one of the top giants and pillars in the Northern Qi court.

Except for Duan Shao, no one can compare with Huluguang's prestige in the army. It's only a matter of time before Huluguang replaces Duan Shao.

Even Gao Wei developed a sense of oppression under Huluguang's scrutiny, but Gao Wei did not feel afraid, but instead said with a smile:

"The Left Prime Minister defeated Wei Xiaokuan in the Fen River, which can be said to have wiped out the declining spirit that has spread in the court since the death of the Emperor, greatly boosting the hearts of the army and the people. With this, I have to reward the Left Prime Minister."

[Want to overwhelm me with your momentum? Dream!]

Gao Wei now understands that this father-in-law is not as harmless as he looks on the surface.

This Huluguang is clearly testing Gao Wei's depth. Although there is no hostility and maliciousness included, it is just a simple test. The father-in-law picks the son-in-law's thorn, which is so authentic, but this still makes Gao Wei feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Gao Wei's words were not only a commendation for Huluguang, but also a warning to Huluguang.

Even if you are my father-in-law and have great contributions, don’t forget the difference between the king and the minister. How can you let the king test it?

A look of surprise flashed in Huluguang's eyes, and then he withdrew his scrutiny gaze and said respectfully to Gao Wei:

"I must never take it. These are all military achievements stacked by soldiers with their lives. I dare not take credit for it with shame..."

Huluguang was already a king's title with a different surname, his daughter was the queen of the current dynasty, and his younger brother became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, in charge of military affairs in the world. Except for Duan Shao, who was far away from Jinyang, who was in the Northern Qi army, no one was above him. The Hulu family officially reached the peak, and there was no promotion or reward. If you add another contribution, it would be a great success.

Gao Wei was very satisfied with Huluguang's performance of not taking credit for his achievements and said kindly: "For the families of soldiers who died in battle, I will reward each household with 20 acres of fertile land and 5 taels of silver. If the injured in this battle, I will also order the Privy Council to give him enough pensions. Each of the soldiers who have obtained the meritorious service in this battle will have a jar of fine wine, ten kilograms of meat, and two taels of silver!"

"Your Majesty is extremely fair in this way. I thank Your Majesty for your soldiers!" Hu Luguang hurriedly thanked him. This was already a very high reward in Northern Qi.

Huluguang did not expect that he had been away for less than a few months, Gao Wei, who had been weak and often worried, had completely changed his appearance. He was not only imposing but also calm and generous. He just sat on it with a smile and could feel the majesty and dignity of the emperor.

Is it true that as the rumor is the King of Chu Zhuang of the Great Qi, who has been dormant for more than ten years, waiting for today?

Huluguang was not afraid, but on the contrary, his heart was about to jump out with joy.

Huluguang is actually a person with a pure mind.

He devoted his life to Daqi. Apart from the idea of ​​loyalty and patriotism rooted in his heart, isn’t the rest just hoping that one day it can become strong and one day it will be enraged?

But no matter how capable the minister is, it is useless for the king to dig his own foundation. A wise master is too important for a country.

Gao Wei's performance today surprised him!
