(Author's note: The website server will be relocated at 0 o'clock tonight, so tomorrow's chapters will be released two chapters in advance. Welcome to read.) Taishi Ci followed Gao Fei closely. After hearing Gao Fei's order, he patted his horse and took a few people with him.
The knight came out and immediately stopped the postman.
The postman did not panic at all. When he saw several knights surrounding him, he immediately reined in his horse and asked hurriedly: "Are they the soldiers and horses of General Zhenbei Gao Fei?"
Taishi Ci was startled for a moment, then nodded and replied: "Exactly!"
"Finally I saw you..." The postman got off his horse and took off a baggage from his back. He took out a letter from the baggage as if no one else was around and shouted to Tai Shici, "Take me to see your lord quickly.
I have something important to ask him for."
Taishi Ci was puzzled, but he still got out of the way, turned his horse's head and shouted softly: "Follow me!"
The postman followed Tai Shici forward for a while, and saw a large number of cavalry parked in front of him. Under the reflection of the moonlight, he saw that the first person was Gao Fei, and his face showed a look of joy, and he hurriedly shouted
: "General Gao...General Gao..."
Gao Fei was looking at the postman who was brought to him. When he heard the postman shouting, he felt that the voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. When the postman walked in
At that moment, the cold moonlight shone on the face of the postman. He could see who the postman was. He hurriedly jumped off the horse, rushed up to meet him, and shouted: "I didn't expect to be here."
I met you, Gai Changshi, why are you dressed like this?"
The postman was none other than Gai Xun. When he saw Gao Fei, unspeakable joy appeared on his face, but in just a moment, the joy disappeared, and what was replaced was a look of hesitation.
At the same time, he held up the letter in his hands with both hands, bowed his head and said: "General Gao, please open this letter quickly!"
Seeing Gai Xun's serious expression, Gao Fei immediately took the letter and shouted to the soldiers: "Here comes the torch!"
Taishi Ci galloped to the side of Gai Xun's horse, picked up the torch that Gai Xun had thrown on the ground, and returned to Gao Fei's side again, holding the torch high to dispel the darkness around Gao Fei.
Gao Fei opened the letter and hurriedly browsed it in the light of the fire. Then he closed the letter and asked hurriedly: "Have you read this letter?"
Gai Xun shook his head and said: "Although I haven't read it, I already know the general meaning of the letter. General Gao, how are you going to deal with this?"
Gao Fei met his old friend by chance and saw Gai Xun dressed as a postman. He wanted to know what was going on and immediately asked: "Does anyone else know about this?"
Gai Xun said: "As soon as the old thief sent the letter, he asked me to deliver it to you personally. This letter has not passed through anyone's hands. When I came here, I met Sun Wentai on the way. He asked where you were, and then he ran over here without stopping.
.”
Gao Fei turned around and said to Tai Shici: "Go and call the general. Everyone else will stay where they are. No one is allowed to come without my order."
Taishi Ci saw Gao Fei being so serious and realized the seriousness of the situation. He was always curious and asked, "My lord, what happened?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, go and give the order!"
"No!" Tai Shici was a little reluctant, but it was the first time he saw Gao Fei's expression so serious, and he had never seen such an expression even when facing the Wuhuan people.
When he turned the horse's head, he glanced at the letter in Gao Fei's hand, wondering what was written there to make his lord so serious.
In just ten seconds, Jia Xu caught up from behind and stood beside Gao Fei. He raised his hand to Gai Xun, whom he had not seen for a long time, and then asked: "Master, what happened?"
Gao Fei handed the letter to Jia Xu and asked softly: "How many of the original Feiyu Army soldiers are left?"
Jia Xu took the letter and didn't even start to read it. As soon as he heard Gao Fei's question, he already understood what had happened. He balled up the letter into a ball, held it tightly in his hand, and whispered
He said: "There are still 738 people, and the rest have died in the battle. Is it Dong Zhuo..."
"Well, do you know what to do about this matter?" Gao Fei said very coldly.
Jia Xu bowed and said: "I understand, I will leave this matter to you. I will keep the names of those 738 people in mind."
Gao Fei nodded, turned to Gai Xun and said, "Gai Changshi, how are you doing with Mr. Fu? Were you also held hostage by Dong Zhuo?"
Gai Xun sighed heavily and said softly: "Master Fu is no longer here..."
Gao Fei was a little surprised, because Fu Xie and Gai Xun had helped him a lot, and when they were in Liangzhou and Chencang, the three of them had a very harmonious relationship. There was a trace of sadness on his face, and he suddenly
Showing a trace of grief and indignation, he immediately said: "Master Fu, what on earth happened to him? Is it Dong Zhuo..."
"It's hard to explain in words!" Gai Xun sighed again, "We never dreamed that the old thief would kidnap Lord Sikong... On the night when the old thief kidnapped Lord Sikong, the old thief also sent troops to surround the prefect's mansion.
They wanted to kidnap us all together. Master Fu couldn't bear the humiliation and drew his sword and committed suicide...Originally, I...I wanted to go with Master Fu, but Master Fu entrusted me to take care of his only son before committing suicide, so I
…”
"Master Fu is upright and upright. Even if he is no longer alive, he will always live in our hearts." Gao Fei was silent for a long time, but he couldn't find anything to express his condolences to the deceased. For him, Fu Xie's death was too unfortunate.
It was worth it, so although he felt a little regretful, he didn't feel sympathy. There was only a vague expression on his face. Ever since he came to this era inexplicably, he has always seen dead people in front of him. Maybe he is used to it.
When someone dies, it is not the most important person who cannot feel a trace of sadness.
Jia Xu was much better than Gao Fei in this aspect. Whether it was sincere or fake, in short he raised his sleeves to wipe the corners of his eyes. It was impossible to tell the truth from the false in the dark night, but people could see a general picture.
Action can give people a different feeling.
Gai Xun didn't say anything, and didn't want to say anything. Seeing that the letter had been read by Gao Fei, he returned to the topic and asked: "How is the general going to reply to the old thief? Is it to kill relatives out of justice, or..."
Although Gai Xun didn't say the second half of the sentence, Gao Fei knew what it meant, and immediately said: "Is there an intact egg under the overturned nest? If I violate justice for the sake of my family, then I will be punished by the world."
People laugh at me, I am so high-flying that I have no shame to stand between heaven and earth. Please Gai Changshi go back and tell the traitor Dong that I will sacrifice my life for righteousness and swear to fight with the old traitor to the end."
Gai Xun suddenly laughed and said: "I am indeed right, General Gao is just as I guessed. General Gao, I was entrusted by Mr. Fu to take care of his heirs, although I, Gai Xun, do not have the righteousness of General Gao."
, but I am willing to go out of my way to save my friends. The reason why Thief Dong asked me to come is simply because General Gao and I are familiar with each other, and he hopes that I can give him some advice. The old thief has already captured my family, and I could have
Just like General Gao, I am righteous enough to kill my relatives, but Master Fu's entrustment is also righteous to me. Besides, now that the coalition forces are so powerful, I can't help much even if I stay in the coalition forces. So, General Gao, please forgive me.
.”
Gao Fei said: "Gai Changshi, you and I are already close friends. I know these things even if you don't say them. Gai Changshi, I have to go through a hard time for you. Go back and tell Thief Dong that if you have the ability, you can fight with me for real."
As for guns, don't always do dirty things."
"I will tell you the truth." Gai Xun hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Although the old thief has gathered 200,000 Xiliang troops, the 200,000 troops are not stable. One of the soldiers is Ma Teng.
Han Sui is jointly in charge and is in charge of the Sanfu area. He is now heading towards the capital. Ma Teng is very loyal to the Han Dynasty. Like many Han people in Liangzhou, he was deceived by the old thief's rhetoric. If General Gao has a chance
If you meet Ma Teng, you can definitely influence him with your righteousness, and he might fight back against the old thief."
Gao Fei nodded and said: "Gai Changshi has been loyal to the country, worked tirelessly, and personally revealed such an important secret, which moved me deeply. We say goodbye today. I hope Gai Changshi will take good care of himself and wait until Luoyang is conquered."
When the time comes, I hope we can meet again.”
Gai Xun smiled vaguely and said softly: "I hope so. General Gao, Gai Xun will take his leave!"
Gao Fei personally sent Gai Xun out. Seeing Gai Xun's figure disappear into the night, he sighed heavily. Turning his head, he said to Jia Xu: "You can tell the 730 people about this matter."
There are eighteen people, I think it depends on them to conquer Sishui Pass this time."
Jia Xu said "Promise" and immediately called out 738 people from the team, while the other soldiers rested in place. He brought the 738 people to Gao Fei's side and handed over to Gao Fei.
He said: "Lord, everyone has been brought."
Gao Fei stood under a big tree on the roadside and looked at the 738 people. They were all the faces he was most familiar with. They all followed him from Chencang. They were his first batch of loyal subordinates and also Fei Fei.
The original members of the Yu Army. He said loudly: "You have suffered a lot since you followed me. You have been traveling around for more than a year. We are all brothers who share life and death. However, today I have to dismiss you and let you go back.
My hometown in Liangzhou..."
"Lord! You don't want us anymore?" A man who was already a military commander shouted, with a hint of confusion and innocence, interrupting Gao Fei's words.
Gao Fei sighed and said: "We have been through life and death together. We are already brothers whose blood is thicker than water. But for your own good, I have to do this..."
"Lord..." Almost at the same time, all the seven hundred and thirty-eight people knelt down and said in unison, "We follow the lord through life and death. We have no merit but hard work. How can the lord treat us like this?"
Jia Xu stood up at this time and said loudly: "Actually... my lord has no choice but to do so. You are all my lord's capable generals. In the army, you are either commanders or princes. If you are missing from the army, it will mean that the whole backbone of the army will collapse."
Down. However, Thief Dong has captured your parents, brothers, wives, and children, and used your relatives to blackmail the lord. If the lord does not surrender to Thief Dong, they will kill your relatives. In fact... Actually, Lord
The entire clan was also captured by the Dong thief..."
"Military advisor! Stop talking, let them leave here quickly, give them enough travel expenses and food, and let them go back to their hometown in Liangzhou to reunite with their families!" Gao Fei directly interrupted Jia Xu's words, and behaved extremely
Feeling sad, he also wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
"Damn Thief Dong!" The army commander who spoke first cursed again, then stood up, facing the hundreds of people kneeling on the ground behind him, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, the lord has always treated us badly.
It’s not bad. Although I, Li Tie, am from Liangzhou, my parents have been killed or injured since I was a child, and I have yet to marry and have children, let alone any brothers or sisters..."
"Li Sima, isn't your father still in Liangzhou? And your brother..." A person suddenly called out curiously.
"Shut up!" Li Tie yelled, interrupting the man, "I, Li Tie, will be on my own from today on. My lord treats me well, and I can become a military commander.
It is a gift from the lord. From now on, I swear to follow the lord to the death, and I will go wherever the lord goes!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Because they all knew each other and could be said to be very familiar brothers. Everyone knew that Li Tie always loved to talk about his family and his parents.
How kind, how filial his brothers and sisters are, how virtuous his wife is, and how sensible his children are. After they listened to Li Tie's words, they were silent for a long time, and their initial worries turned into
A kind of grief and indignation, a kind of anger. They all knew in their hearts that Li Tie was annihilating relatives in a righteous way, abandoning his family and caring for everyone. Moreover, when they heard about Dong Zhuo's atrocities during the alliance, they also gnashed their teeth in hatred. They are now
There is a struggle going on in my heart, a decisive struggle with my family...
The night was thick, and after a long silence, the people who were kneeling on the ground stood up at the same time, and worshiped Gao Fei in unison: "We will follow the Lord to the death, and we will never betray him in this life!"
Just as Gao Fei had guessed, his strategy worked, but he was very calm, and there was still a trace of sadness on his face, and he said slowly: "Why are you doing this? Just for me, you have to let your whole family go."
...How can I bear it? You...you'd better leave here quickly and go back to Liangzhou."
"If the lord drives us away, we will die in front of the lord!" More than seven hundred people said in unison with the determination to die.
Gao Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "You are all my good brothers... Since you are all willing to follow me to the death, then we will give Thief Dong a disincentive. I want you to use this opportunity to sneak into Si
Shuiguan."
Everyone said in unison: "My lord, no matter what your command, we will not give up even if we die!"
So Gao Fei told the plan in detail. More than 700 people kept it in mind, and finally left the army under the leadership of Li Tie.
Looking at the more than 700 people leaving, Gao Fei asked softly: "Isn't the one named Li Tie the masterpiece of the military strategist?"
Jia Xu cupped his hands towards Gao Feigong and said with a smile: "My subordinates can't hide anything from my lord. Li Tie was indeed arranged by my subordinates from the very beginning. He has been waiting for this day for more than a year."
Gao Fei smiled and said, "Well done. Although Li Tie is not a general, he is indeed a talent. If he can come back alive this time, let's promote him to be a captain."
