"Your name is Wei Zheng?" Gao Bufan's expression was a little strange. He didn't know Chang Sun Sheng before, but he was very familiar with this Wei Zheng, because this man was mentioned in the history textbooks of later generations of China and was a famous criticizer. , known for not fearing power, and was even regarded as a "mirror" by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty to know gains and losses. After his death, he ranked fourth in Lingyan Pavilion.

Wei Zheng sneered and said: "That's right, my name is Wei Zheng and I am from Quyang County. Do you have any questions for me, a talented man?"

When Gao Bufan heard this, he knew that the other party had misunderstood. However, this famous prime minister had a very explosive temper. He was ugly and had a bad mouth. It was really not something that ordinary people could tolerate. This shows that Li Shimin is indeed tolerant. If it were replaced by Yang Guang and his ilk, , no matter how many heads this dear man has, it’s not enough to chop him off.

"Brother Wei misunderstood. I have no intention of complaining to the prefect." Gao Bufan said with a smile.

"Whether you want to complain or not, I have this kind of temper. The worst I can do is pack up your bed and go home." Wei Zheng snorted slightly, turned around and walked away.

Gao Bufan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did this guy take some gunpowder? Such a rush!

Little did they know that although Wei Zheng had a stubborn and bad temper, he still offended everyone he met. It was just that he had just been reprimanded by Prefect Lu not long ago. In addition, he had been working as an aide in Prefect Lu's mansion for three years and had not been reused. He was sitting everywhere. Being on the bench, the resentment he had accumulated suddenly exploded, and Gao Bufan unfortunately hit the muzzle of the gun.

Wei Zheng led Gao Bufan to the door of the living room. He was probably still a little upset, but accidentally tripped over the threshold. If Gao Bufan hadn't grabbed him quickly with quick hands and eyes behind him, he would have fallen over.

Even so, Wei Zheng was still in a very embarrassed state, and there was clearly a burst of chuckles in the living room, which made his face turn red with shame. Gao Bufan asked with concern, "Brother Wei, are you okay?"

Seeing that Gao Bufan's eyes were clear and sincere, and not sarcastic, Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel a good impression. He shook his head silently, took a few steps forward and said with a dark face: "Your Excellency, Gao Changqing, a talented man from Quan County, has brought you here."

Gao Bufan raised his eyes and found Lu Chisong, the governor of Bohai County, who was dressed in purple robes and was sitting in the main seat. Behind him stood several aides whom he usually relied on. There were seven or eight officials sitting on both sides. They should be discussing something important in a meeting. matter.

Gao Bufan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Gao Changqing of Quan County, pay homage to the prefect and all your lords."

"This is Gao Changqing, the talented man from Quan County who chanted, 'Today's people don't see the moon in ancient times, but this month once illuminated the ancients'?" He is indeed a talented man with extraordinary bearing!" An official on Lu Chisong's lower left looked at Gao Bufan and said with a smile.

Gao Bufan hurriedly said modestly: "Your Excellency, this is an unreasonable compliment. I am ashamed that I don't deserve it."

Prefect Lu introduced: "This is the Prime Minister of this county."

It turned out that he was the second-in-command of Bohai County. Gao Bufan quickly and solemnly saluted again. Next, Prefect Lu introduced all the officials present. It was obvious that he was indeed very fond of Gao Bufan. You must know that these are rare Human resources.

After everyone had finished the ceremony, Prefect Lu asked straight to the point: "I heard from Wei Xuancheng that Chang Qing came to me this time to do with the thief Zhang Jincheng?"

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "Exactly, this junior has received the news. Zhang Jin said that he will attack the Flying Eagle Racecourse within two days."

Prefect Lu and the officials present couldn't help but look at each other in confusion. Wei Zheng, a marginalized person, was already preparing to leave, but upon hearing this, he stopped and listened.

Prefect Lu frowned and said: "Zhang Jin said that this traitor was trying to rob horses and attack your racecourse. It's not surprising. But where did Chang Qing get the news?"

Gao Bufan had already thought of a story, so he lied without blinking: "Junior went out to buy soybeans yesterday, and happened to encounter a small group of thieves under Zhang Jincheng who robbed him. Junior and two servants are quite skilled.

Yes, we fought off this group of thieves and rescued four women who were kidnapped by them. One of the women overheard the thieves' conversation and said that their boss would attack our horse farm in the next two days.

"

Gao Bufan's words are half true and half false. The women who were robbed are now at the Flying Eagle Racecourse, so they are not afraid of being ganged up at all. Let's not say that Prefect Lu will not go into details. Even if he does go into it, it will be a big deal for these women to let go.

Just a lie will do.

As expected, Prefect Lu and other officials had no intention of delving into it. After all, in their opinion, no one would lie about such a thing, unless they were so idle that they thought their lives would be too long.

Prefect Lu had already vaguely guessed Gao Bufan's intention, but he still pretended to be stupid and said, "How are you and Chang Qing going to respond?"

Gao Bufan answered truthfully: "There are more than 700 adult war horses in the Flying Eagle Racecourse, and they are about to be handed over to the court. There must be no mistakes, so my father plans to move the war horses in advance and release the remaining horses into the wild.

Then go into the city and take shelter temporarily."

After hearing this, Prefect Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Gao Bufan didn't know the heights of the world, so he asked him to send troops to help defend the racecourse. You must know that the only regular armed force in Bohai County has been defeated by Zhang Jincheng. He is really powerless, so

He stroked his beard and nodded: "This is indeed a good idea. So what does Chang Qing mean by coming to me this time?"

Gao Bufan took the opportunity to encourage: "Now the gangster Zhang Jincheng is doing great harm. If we continue to let it go and let his power continue to grow, there will be endless troubles, so we must extinguish him as soon as possible. The younger generation thinks this is a great opportunity to eliminate Zhang Jinchang."

Chance,

Your Excellency only needs to organize thousands of men to ambush around the Flying Eagle Racecourse. If Zhang Jincheng is unprepared and suddenly rushes out, he will definitely be able to defeat him or even annihilate him in one fell swoop. In this way, he will not only eliminate harm to the people, but also deal with the enemy.

It is also a great achievement for all of you."

Upon hearing this, Prefect Lu's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed. Although Gao Bufan's words were very provocative, people inevitably lose some momentum as they get older. They seek stability and do not dare to take risks.

Gao Bufan's plan is feasible and attractive, but the risk is undoubtedly huge. Once it fails, Yangxin County will lose even its last remaining strength to defend the city. Not only will Governor Lu's own security be in danger,

, maybe you won’t even be able to save your head.

Fang Jinsheng, the prime minister of Bohai County, was obviously a person who was good at guessing people's hearts. When he saw this, he shook his head and said: "My friend Changqing's plan is wrong. I think that the ruthless bandit Zhang Jin has great power. He has more than 5,000 troops and he captured Zhangzhou a few days ago."

After Nanxian has received supplies, its power will inevitably become stronger. At this time, we cannot rush into confrontation with it."

"Yes, and the imperial court has sent General Duan Da to lead his troops to suppress the attack. The army will arrive on the next day. You must not act rashly at this time. You only need to stick to the city and wait for the imperial army. With the combat power of the imperial guards,

The little robber has already been captured!"

"What Master Tongshou said is absolutely true. The wisest thing is to secure the city and wait for help!"

Governor Lu's willingness to send troops was not high at first, but he was convinced by the words of his officials. Finally, he said to Gao Bufan: "Chang Qing, you have heard it. It's not that I am afraid of fighting, but that the risk is too great."

It's big, and the court has already sent troops. It won't take long to wipe out the bandits. After you go back, you only need to let your family go into the city to take shelter. It is inevitable to suffer some losses."

"Master Taishou, Zhang Jin's claim to have an army of five thousand is just a bluff. The actual number of troops will not exceed three thousand, and most of them are ragtag groups who can only fight with the wind. If they attack the rear army by surprise, they will inevitably fight.

The defeat is like a mountain, but great achievements can be achieved easily. If the prefect sends troops, Chang Qing is willing to lead the troops to lead the battle!" Gao Bufan said with enthusiasm.

The county magistrate Fang Jinsheng said sarcastically with a smile on his face: "It turns out that little friend Changqing is not only a talented poet, but also can lead troops in war. I admire you very much!"

"No, didn't Gao Caizi just say that he and two servants fought off a group of bandits? He must have been quite brave, even stronger than Captain Song." Another official continued in a strange tone.

Gao Bufan furrowed his eyebrows secretly, lowered his eyes and remained silent, feeling powerless again in his heart. After all, people still speak softly, and these officials are too arrogant. Damn it!

Governor Lu finally cared about Gao Bufan's face, stroking his beard and smiling: "Chang Qing is very brave, but the imperial army will arrive soon, so there is really no need to take this risk. After traveling such a long way, Chang Qing must have

I’m tired too, please come and take Chang Qing down to rest!”

Gao Bufan secretly sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Prefect, for your kindness, but I have to rush back to the racecourse to assist my father."

Hearing this, Prefect Lu nodded and said: "In that case, I won't keep you here anymore. Be careful, Wei Xuancheng, and send Chang Qing out!"

Gao Bufan stopped wasting time and left the prefect's mansion, walking faster than Wei Zheng.

"Gao Changqing, are you angry now?" Wei Zheng took a few steps forward and sneered.

Only then did Gao Bufan realize the existence of this dear friend. He stopped and smiled and said, "That's not the case. It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune."

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed with something strange, and he nodded: "I originally thought that Gao Changqing was a white-faced nerd who could only sing about the wind and the moon, but now it seems that I was wrong. At least you are more courageous than those adults in the hall."

Gao Bufan touched his face and said, "My face is not white!"

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "It's true that it's not white, but it's not black either."

"Farewell!"

Although the man in front of him was a famous minister, Gao Bufan was not in the mood to chat with him at this time, so he turned around and walked away.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment and quickly shouted: "Gao Changqing, wait a minute!"

"Brother Wei, do you have any other advice?" Gao Bugao stood still, turned around and said politely.

Wei Zheng nodded and said: "You have a good temper. I am naturally annoying. If it had been anyone else, I would have walked away long ago. Forget it, I will show you a clear way. Now leave the North City Gate immediately.

A military chariot team is passing by transporting soldiers and leather, and the man in the neighboring team is Li Jing, a member of the driving department. If you go to him, you may be able to help!"

"Li Jing!" Gao Bufan blurted out as his body shook again and again.

Wei Zheng asked curiously: "Do you know this person?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "I don't know you, but I thank Brother Wei for letting me know and say goodbye!" After saying that, he got on his horse and galloped towards the north gate.
