Gao Fei used food to lure hungry people and surrendered more than 10,000 rebels who besieged Yitao City. After that, he ordered people to open the granary of Yitao City, took out all 30,000 shi of grain, and set up a "
He raised the banner of "righteousness" and sent back some of those who surrendered, asking them to bring out their wives, children, and children from the mountains where they were hiding. The charges of rebellion will no longer be pursued.
At the same time, Gao Fei sent Bian Xi with 20 people to pick up Jia Xu, Xun You, Diao Chan and others, and asked them to come to Yingtao City together. As for taking office, he put it aside for the time being. If the rebellion of the hungry people in Jizhou is not properly handled,
The problem is likely to affect the neighboring Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou. He did not want to let the Black Mountain Army sweep across the land of Hebei happen again, and sent Chu Yan, Sun Qing, and Wang Dang to the mountains and forests of Jizhou to recruit surrender.
He wanted to gather all the bandits who were kings of the mountains into his own troops and take them to Liaodong together.
After finishing these things, he took Zhao Yun and two hundred cavalry to prepare to go north to Gaoyi City. The governor of Jizhou, Gongsun Du, died, and Jizhou was leaderless. In such an era of limited information, he could use the time difference to take advantage of the situation.
After all, the food from Gaoyi City will have to recruit more refugees, and the food from Yitao City is not enough.
In the early morning, Zhao Yun and two hundred cavalry gathered outside the north gate, waiting for Gao Fei's arrival.
In Yitao City, Gao Fei asked Hua Xiong to temporarily serve as the chief historian and be responsible for the security of the city. He asked Zhou Cang to lead soldiers to dispose of the corpses in the moat outside the city to avoid causing the plague, and at the same time set up some refugee camps to recruit people.
More refugees came to join. After Jizhou experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although its population dropped sharply, compared with other states, Jizhou is still a populous state that cannot be ignored. Gao Fei must send a new governor to the imperial court.
He previously took away the people who were willing to follow him to Liaodong to increase the population on his own territory.
Gao Fei rode a black horse, fully armed, and galloped from the central street in the city to the north gate. When he saw Zhao Yun and two hundred Qingqi waiting there, he approached them.
"See you, my lord!" When Zhao Yun and others saw Gao Fei coming, they bowed in unison on their horses.
"No need to be polite, are you all ready?" Gao Fei asked.
Zhao Yundao said: "My lord, the brothers have already been prepared and are just waiting for my lord's order."
Gao Fei said happily: "Well, okay, then let's..."
"Lord! Wait a minute!" Zhou Cang came flying from the city and shouted loudly while recruiting Gao Fei.
Gao Fei turned the horse's head and asked directly: "What's going on?"
Zhou Cang rode his horse to Gao Fei's side and said hurriedly: "Lord, the imperial edict...an imperial edict has arrived...is here."
"Imperial edict? How could it be so fast? My lord, is it possible that the court has already known about our murder of Gongsun Du?" Zhao Yun asked in confusion.
Gao Fei resolutely affirmed: "Impossible! Even if someone tipped off the news, it would take three days and two nights at the fastest from Yingtao to Luoyang without rest, not to mention the trip back and forth? Zilong, you are here.
Wait, let me go in and see what is written in the imperial edict!"
"promise!"
Gao Fei and Zhou Cang returned to the city together. Gao Fei rode a black horse very fast and arrived at the prefect's mansion first. When he saw a carriage parked outside the gate of the prefect's mansion, he immediately jumped off the horse and refused to go.
In charge of the black dragon colt, there were soldiers to tie it up for him. He went straight into the prefect's house, and when he came to the hall, he saw a very familiar face, it was Zuo Feng.
"Isn't Zuo Feng an eunuch? Why was he not involved in the purge of the ten permanent servants?" Gao Fei walked into the hall with doubts, confusion, and a sense of disdain.
Zuo Feng was holding the imperial edict in his hand and was sitting on the chair in the hall. When he saw Gao Fei coming, he immediately stood up and bowed with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to General Gao, congratulations to General Gao, General Gao, this time
It's really a meteoric rise, Zuo first congratulated General Gao."
Gao Fei chuckled and said, "Master Zuo is always running around. It's really difficult for Master Zuo. I wonder what happy events I will have this time?"
Zuo Feng chuckled, and directly put the imperial edict into Gao Fei's hand, without even reading it out, and said loudly: "General Gao, we are all old acquaintances. This is the imperial edict issued by the imperial court. Please read it, General Gao."
!”
Gao Fei was not polite and immediately opened the imperial edict. After browsing it in a hurry, he closed it, cupped his hands towards Zuo Feng and said: "As Lord Zuo said, it is indeed a smooth journey. It is a pity that Lord Zuo has been running for nothing."
Let’s go.”
Zuo Feng's face was filled with surprise, and he asked in a voice: "Gao...General Gao, this Sili Xiaowei's official position is not small. Why can't others get it if they want it? Sili Xiaowei is in charge of the important area of the capital and has considerable power.
Is General Gao really unwilling to become one?"
Gao Fei said: "I, Gao Ziyu, am a martial artist. The responsibilities of the Sili captain are very important, and I am afraid that I am not qualified for it. Now I just want to focus on guarding the border. Although Liaodong County is located in a remote area, it is at least my territory.
The place is often bullied by foreigners. As a dignified man, I should go there to make achievements, resist the invasion of foreign enemies, diligently practice moral governance, and benefit the people in the county. This is what I am qualified to do. Sili Xiaowei... I
If you are not capable enough, please ask the court to choose someone else."
Zuo Feng sighed and said: "General Gao, this is rebellion!"
"Master Zuo, we are old acquaintances. You and I both know where this imperial edict came from. I had merit in killing Shi Changshi, and I asked the general for a Youzhou shepherd. The general agreed, but then regretted it.
They only gave me the governor of Liaodong. I have no complaints about this. However, I had just left Gyeonggi for only seven or eight days, and this imperial edict wanted to recall me again. Gyeonggi is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, which is not what I can handle.
I will not go back to this place no matter what I say this time. Mr. Zuo, please rest assured that I will not let you make this trip in vain. I will give a memorial to the court to clarify my views. Please help Mr. Zuo.
I'll take it back. In addition, for all the expenses incurred along the way, I should also relieve Master Zuo's pressure." Gao Fei finally came out, and he will not go back again. Even if he goes back, he will lead his own troops to attack later.
He will no longer be controlled by others.
Zuo Feng said: "It's really sad that General Gao has a bumpy career. However, the general's actions are too erratic. When the late emperor passed away, if I hadn't carried the holy edict outside, I would have died in the palace long ago.
.General Gao, to be honest, this imperial edict is actually the intention of Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has now become a Taiwei. The reason why he wants to recall General Gao to the capital is because Dong Zhuo has not received the imperial edict."
"Dong Zhuo? What does this have to do with Dong Zhuo?" Gao Fei was very curious after hearing this. After all, Dong Zhuo was the first person to threaten him, and now Dong Zhuo is holding him and his family members from the Feiyu Army.
"Someone reported secretly that Dong Zhuo was secretly recruiting troops in Liangzhou with ulterior motives, so Yuan Shao offered advice to He Jin and ordered Dong Zhuo to go to Beijing and serve as a school captain. Firstly, Dong Zhuo's ambitions could be restrained. Secondly, if Dong Zhuo had ulterior motives,
, so that it would be convenient to kill him. But Dong Zhuo refused to go to the capital. Later, He Jin heard Yuan Shu talk about the close relationship between the general and Dong Zhuo when he suppressed the rebellion in Liangzhou, and he became worried about the general, so he issued an edict to summon the general to the capital."
"It's strange, how can you, a little Huangmen servant, know so thoroughly about this matter?" After listening to this, Gao Fei felt that Zuo Feng should not know about this matter, so he asked curiously.
Zuo Feng chuckled and said: "The general doesn't know, but in fact Zuo and General Dong are close friends. In addition, General Dong also asked Zuo to send a message to the general, asking Zuo to tell the general that the general's clan and Fei
The lives of Soldier Yu's family, a total of 3,342 people, are in the hands of the general. Shi Changshi is dead, and the late emperor has passed away. This matter is beyond the control of the general, so General Dong hopes
If the generals can continue to cooperate, General Dong is in the east and General Dong is in the west. It is said that when each of them occupies a state in the future, they will jointly raise troops in the east and west. They will kill the relatives and powerful officials as soldiers and raise troops to Luoyang. They will definitely be able to gain the support of other states and counties.
If we respond together, General Dong and the generals will be able to control the entire government."
After listening to Zuo Feng's words, Gao Fei smiled and said: "Okay, it's rare for General Dong to have such ambitions, but you have to tell him that he must treat my clan and Feiyu's family well. It's best.
My clan and Feiyu's family were sent to Liaodong. I am grateful and will definitely regard General Dong as my respecter. When I raise troops to Luoyang, I will definitely obey General Dong's words."
Zuo Feng said with a smile: "Easy to say, as long as the general can cooperate sincerely with General Dong, the world of this great Han Dynasty will become the possession of the general and General Dong in less than two years."
Gao Fei heard that Dong Zhuo had always been obsessed with entering the dynasty and controlling the government. He really admired Dong Zhuo's persistence. However, no matter whether those more than 3,000 people were alive or dead, he would not listen to Dong Zhuo's mercy. Anyway, everyone was going one way or the other.
, living without contact until old age, no one can do anything to anyone, and even if he kills those people, it will only increase his hatred towards Dong Zhuo.
"By the way, Lord Zuo, there have been rebels in Jizhou these days. Through my active fighting, I finally defeated the bandits. However, Gongsun Du, the governor of Jizhou, died in the battle. I hope Lord Zuo will bring this news back to Gyeonggi."
, report it to the general and let him choose another capable person to govern Jizhou." Gao Fei cupped his hands and said.
Zuo Feng said: "Don't worry, General Gao, I will definitely deliver the message."
Therefore, Gao Fei immediately wrote a memorial, which roughly stated that he wanted to eliminate border troubles and defend the frontier for the Han Dynasty, and prayed for one-year tax exemption in Jizhou and three-year tax exemption in Liaodong. After writing, he looked at himself crookedly writing
In reply to the letter, Gao Fei smiled. After all, he couldn't write well with calligraphy, so he only gave it to Zuo Feng. He also gave Zuo Feng some money and sent Zuo Feng out of Yitao.
After coming out of the prefect's mansion, Gao Fei rode on the black dragon horse and went straight to the north gate. Together with Zhao Yun and two hundred cavalry who had been waiting there early, they went north and headed straight to Gaoyi City, the seat of the Jizhou governor.
