(Author's note: There are five updates today, the time is variable, basically it will be updated before 7 p.m., please subscribe!) After all the hardships, we finally arrived in Liaodong. Looking at this empty and dilapidated city, Gao Fei felt
There are a lot of things he has to do next. There is nothing left to do, which is a huge test for Gao Fei.
Gao Fei rode on the black dragon colt and rode to the east gate of Xiangping. When he saw Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Jia Xu and Xun You arriving at the bottom of the city, he jumped off his horse, walked towards the four of them, and then ordered: "
Let 10,000 soldiers enter the city and clean the entire city thoroughly. The people will stay outside the city tonight. There has been a plague here and it must be thoroughly cleaned. Everything must be cleaned."
"promise!"
At this time, the two soldiers standing guard on the city tower came down. They came to Gao Fei's side and worshiped in unison: "Young man, please see me!"
Gao Fei turned around and saw that the two soldiers were still listless, but except for the two of them, there was no one alive in the whole city. He then asked: "Xiangping is also a county town of Liaodong County after all.
Why are you two the only ones responsible for guarding Xiangping? Where have all the county officials died?"
One of the soldiers replied: "The Lord Qi, the meritorious officer, the long history, the five sense organs, the chief secretary, the postal supervisor, the captain, the county magistrate, the county captain, etc. are all in Tianjiabao thirty miles away. I am the only one who has been sent.
Come and guard day and night."
Gao Fei asked in confusion: "Tianjiabao? That's where Pingbei General Tian Shao lives? Why did all the officials in Liaodong go to his house?"
The soldier replied: "You don't know something. The Tian family has been a big family in Liaodong for generations. Thirty miles southwest are the land of the Tian family. Last year, there was a plague in the city, and everyone in the city fled. Later, the Tian family took in the people and hired them.
He plowed the fields for the Tian family, which prevented the people from fleeing to other places. Later, General Tian invited all the adults in the county to set up a special courtyard in Tianjiabao, and the adults lived in Tianjiabao from then on.
inside."
"Damn it, what kind of logic is it for an official of the imperial court to live in someone else's house?" Gao Fei was a little annoyed after hearing this, so he complained and said to the two soldiers, "When you go back to Tianjiapu, just tell me that I am the prefect.
Now that I have taken office, I will tell them all to get back here!"
The two soldiers looked at each other and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and said: "Sir, please spare us. Tianjiabao is a place where you can come and go casually. We don't dare to enter."
After Gao Fei heard this, he sneered and asked: "What? Is this Tianjiabao a tiger's den? It makes you so scared?"
The soldier said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Tianjiabao has great power in Liaodong, and we can't afford it. Please forgive us. If you must find someone to go, then only our corps commander can do it."
Now that we have gone, no one can enter Tianjiabao without invitation, except our corps commander."
Seeing how scared the two soldiers in front of him were and listening to their words, Gao Fei vaguely felt that Tian Shao was a troublesome figure. He frowned and pondered for a while, but did not speak.
Jia Xu took two steps forward, came to Gao Fei's side and whispered: "Lord, we have just arrived, and we are not very clear about the situation in Liaodong County. Seeing that these two people are so scared, it seems that the Tian family is a local
Local snakes, as the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress local snakes, the Lord can only take action after finding out the situation of the Tian family."
Xun You also came over and whispered: "My lord, the top priority is to arrange for the people and the army to stay in Xiangping City. As for the matter of Tianjiabao, we need to consider it in the long term."
After Gao Fei listened to Jia Xu and Xun You's words, he nodded and said: "I'd like to ask you two gentlemen to go to Haosheng to make arrangements for the people. We'll sleep outside the city for one night today. We will go back to the city to rest after the city is cleaned tomorrow."
.”
Jia Xu and Xun You said "promise", then turned and walked back.
Gao Fei asked the two soldiers to get up and asked, "You just said, Captain, are there anyone else in the city?"
The soldier nodded and said: "Yes, sir, there are five of us in total. The county magistrate arranged for us to be stationed here."
Gao Fei said: "Very good, you take me to see your corps leader."
"promise!"
After the words fell, the two soldiers led Gao Fei towards the city, with Zhao Yun following closely, while Zhang He went back to lead the troops into the city, preparing to clean up the entire city.
Two soldiers led Gao Fei and Zhao Yun around a few turns from the main road in the city, entered an alley, and stopped in a rather large courtyard. The two soldiers entered the courtyard and summoned a young man.
The young man took the young man to the entrance of the courtyard and kowtowed to Gao Fei together.
Gao Fei saw that the boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his appearance was quite decent. When he took a closer look, he found that some of the boy's face looked familiar, especially the boy's nose, which looked very similar to someone he had seen before, but he was
I couldn't remember who it was, so I immediately asked: "Are you their corps leader?"
The young man was not tall, but his body looked very strong. He nodded immediately and replied: "Yes, sir, I am their corps commander."
"What's your name?" Gao Fei asked curiously.
The young man replied: "Your Excellency, I am the lower official Gongsun Kang."
"Gongsun Kang? Are you Gongsun Kang? The son of Gongsun Du, the governor of Jizhou?" When Gao Fei heard the young man's answer, Gongsun Du's appearance immediately appeared in his mind. He took a closer look at Gongsun Kang and saw that he was quite tall.
There were some similarities, but he didn't expect that Gongsun Du's son would be a corps leader.
Seeing Gao Fei's great reaction, Gongsun Kang asked, "Sir, do you know Xiaguan's father?"
Seeing Gongsun Kang's answer, Gao Fei secretly thought that the dead Gongsun Kang who came to Gongsundu didn't know yet, not to mention that there were thousands of mountains and rivers between Jizhou and Liaodong, and the road was difficult and the news was blocked, so he calmed down and said: "Well
, I have had several contacts with your father. In order to put down the rebels, your father did not hesitate to take risks, and finally died for the country. He died a heroic death."
Gongsun Kang was shocked when he heard Gao Fei's words. His mind went blank. He took a few steps back and asked in a daze: "Sir, what did you say... I... my father... my father is dead?"
?”
Gao Fei nodded, turned to look at Zhao Yun, and winked at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun understood and immediately said: "Master Gongsun was assassinated by the thief Zhang Niujiao. My lord later killed Zhang Niujiao and avenged Master Gongsun. Master Gongsun is alive in heaven and can rest in peace."
Gongsun Kang knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Gao Fei several times, tears burst into his eyes, and said loudly: "Thank you, sir, for avenging my father, thank you, sir..."
Gao Fei shouted to catch the thief, but from the words of the two soldiers just now, he could tell that the Gongsun Kang in front of him was a person who could fully enter and leave Tianjia Fort. Moreover, he also felt that there was a connection between them, so he bent down and personally
He helped Gongsun Kang up and said: "Get up, I just did what I should do, you don't have to do this."
Gongsun Kang had a mournful face, tears constantly streaming from his eyes, and stood there without saying a word, looking extremely sad.
Gao Fei didn't care when he saw Gongsun Kang's appearance, and immediately asked: "Gongsun Kang, listen to what they said, you can enter and exit Tianjia Fort, right?"
Gongsun Kang nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, the county magistrate Gongsun Zhao and my father are from the same clan. Pingbei general Tian Shao and Gongsun Zhao have always been good friends, so I can enter and exit Tianjiabao freely."
"Well, can you tell me the specific situation of Tianjiabao?" Gao Fei then asked.
Gongsun Kangdao: "The Tian family immigrated to Liaodong from Qingzhou. It is said that they are descendants of Tian Dan. They have lived in Liaodong for generations. Their family properties are spread all over Liaodong. Now Tian Shao spent money to buy a Pingbei general and recruited a group of generals.
No one in Liaodong dared to provoke an army. Moreover, among the eleven counties in Liaodong, except for the county magistrate of Xiangping, Gongsun Zhao, the other ten county magistrates and county lieutenants were all from the Tian family. In Liaodong, it was
One tyrant, even Colonel Wuhuan who came here a few days ago gave three points to the Tian family."
After listening to Gongsun Kang's words, Gao Fei felt his scalp numb. He knew that Tian Shao was a local snake, but he didn't expect that this local snake would be so powerful. If he wanted to turn Liaodong into his base, he must eradicate it.
This local snake must also completely suppress the Tian family. When he thought of this, he casually asked: "Have the Tian family ever done anything harmful to nature?"
Gongsun Kangdao: "So what if he does it? Who can touch him?"
"Humph! That's not necessarily the case!" Gao Fei sneered, and then asked: "Let me ask you again, are there many people in Liaodong County who hate the Tian family?"
As soon as Gongsun Kang wiped the tears from his face, he became energetic and loudly said with a hateful and gritted teeth: "What's the point? Everyone in Liaodong County hates the Tian family. The people in Xiangping City were originally in
We live well here, but because of a slight illness, in order to occupy the surrounding fields, Tian Shao said it was a plague and forced his men to move the people twenty miles away, forcing those people to sell themselves on the contract.
Hua'an turned the people into slaves of his Tian family, and..."
Gao Fei became more and more excited as he listened to Gongsun Kang's words. He told all the evil deeds Tian Shao had committed in one breath. At the end of the story, the soldiers behind him also gnashed their teeth in hatred. After listening, Gao Fei felt a kind of feeling in his heart.
He was indescribably comfortable, and secretly made up his mind to eliminate evil and promote good. The new official took office with three fires. He would use a fire to burn the entire Tian family power in Liaodong County to ashes, and he would use this fire even more.
Burn out his prestige in Liaodong and make Liaodong his true territory from now on.
"Gongsun Kang, for the sake of your father and I getting to know each other, you can follow me from now on. I will use my authority to help the people of Liaodong to relieve their anger. Are you willing to become a village chief under me?
No?" Gao Fei walked up to Gongsun Kang, stroked Gongsun Kang's head, and asked softly.
Gongsun Kang nodded without hesitation and said loudly: "Yes, I, Gongsun Kang, will follow you from now on!"
"Haha, okay, you take a few of your men and report outside the city. First, clean up the city. Once the city settles down, we will start to eradicate the bully Tian Shao!" Gao Fei smiled.
road.
Gongsun Kang said "Promise", took two of his soldiers, called two other men from the house, and walked out together along the alley.
Zhao Yun walked slowly to Gao Fei's side. When he saw Gongsun Kang's retreating back, he whispered: "Master, we killed me, but now we have taken our son in. What if..."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "We are the only ones who know about this matter. As long as no one tells him, how can he know? Besides, now is the time to employ people, and this kid has a lot of uses, so let's let him be here for the time being.
