Zang Ba didn't pay attention to Gao Fei's beckoning. After all, he wanted to ask Gao Fei for help now, so he should condescend to listen. He walked straight to Gao Fei's side, cupped his fists and said, "Strong man, if you have any clever ideas, please let me know."
Gao Fei asked: "How many combat-ready troops do you have now?"
"Two thousand three hundred and six people." Zang Ba replied.
Gao Fei asked again: "How many days of food and grass are there?"
"Well... we ran out of food and grass half a month ago. We only rely on hunting in the mountains for food, and occasionally eat some wild fruits and vegetables to satisfy our hunger." Zang Ba replied awkwardly.
Gao Fei had a hint of admiration for Zang Ba. He didn't want to be able to persist on Mount Tai for half a month under such conditions. He frowned and asked: "What if I asked you to abandon your existing mountain stronghold?
To move safely to other places, are you willing to give up everything on Mount Tai?"
Zang Ba said: "What is there that I don't want to give up? I have wanted to leave this place for a long time, but I am surrounded by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's soldiers. I have no good place to go for the time being. I can only settle on Mount Tai first."
Gao Fei said: "You just asked the defenders to retreat ten miles and stick to the dangerous place. This is very good. The mountain road into Mount Tai is difficult to pass, and it is extremely difficult for horses to pass. Even if you have to force it through, it will hinder your speed. Yuan Jun's vanguard
The cavalry team led by General Gao Lan must arrive. This will give a lot of time. This period of time is very important for the transfer.
It's enough. You only need to ask the guards to make some dummies and stand them in dangerous places, and put on clothes and armor for the dummies. From a distance, they can be fake and real. In addition, on the only way into the mountain,
Set up obstacles and use huge rocks to pave the way to block Yuan's army from advancing, then evacuate everyone, shuttle through the mountains of Mount Tai, and leave this place temporarily."
Zang Ba looked very confused and asked, "I want to escape from here, but I have nowhere to go..."
"No, you have. After you leave Mount Tai, keep walking eastward to the seaside in Huang County, Donglai County, Qingzhou. There is a fishing village there. Go to the fishing village and find a man named Yu Gao. Someone will naturally take you away from Donglai County.
Laijun, and then crossed eastward to Liaodongjun."
"Liao...Liaodong?" Zang Ba was surprised and asked hurriedly, "Isn't that the Yan Kingdom of Yanhou Gao Fei? Are you asking me to join Gao Fei?"
Gao Fei nodded and asked, "Why, you don't want to?"
Zang Ba frowned and said: "The name of Marquis Yan is like thunder. I heard that Yan State is also governed in an orderly manner. However, Marquis Yan and I don't know each other. Will he take me in?"
"Yes, the Marquis of Yan is very thirsty for talents. People like you with the talents of a unique general are what the Marquis of Yan needs most."
Zang Ba thought for a while, suddenly realized something, and asked hurriedly: "Could the strong man be someone sent by the Marquis of Yan?"
"Hahaha, you just found out? But it's not too late. After the Marquis of Yan heard about your name, he specially sent me to recruit you. As long as you are willing, the door of the Yan Kingdom can be opened to you at any time. If you are not willing,
, Marquis Yan doesn’t force himself, after all, everyone has his or her own ambitions, and the melon won’t be sweet if it’s forced.” Gao Fei said.
While talking, he took out a small token engraved with golden feathers from his sleeve, and handed the token to Zang Ba, "This is for you. You can hold this when you arrive at the beach of Huang County, Donglai.
Then give this thing to the man named Yu Gao, and he will naturally arrange a ferry for you to take you across the sea."
After Zang Ba took the token, he glanced at it and asked: "Strong man, we have to walk a long way from here to Donglai. If Yuan Jun bites him, wouldn't it be..."
Gao Fei said: "You can rest assured that if Yuan Shao gets Taishan, he will definitely not pursue it. He will definitely be busy marching westward to take over other counties in Taishan County. What's more, the governor of Qingzhou is Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan
, this person is very happy about his success, and compared with the two thousand or so of you, occupying Taishan County is more important, so you and your group will go east together, and you will be absolutely safe along the way."
After hearing this, Zang Ba felt that it was quite reasonable, so he bowed and said, "Zang Ba can't express the kindness of the brave man in rescuing him. He even asked for the name of the brave man!"
Gao Fei thought for a moment and said casually: "Oh, just call me Yu Zigao."
"Yu Zhuangshi, from your tone, it seems that you are not planning to leave with us. Now that Yuan Jun is about to surround this mountain, does Yu Zhuangshi have another way out?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "General Zang, don't worry about me. I am an ordinary citizen, and Yuan Shao's people will not make things difficult for us. In addition, I also ask General Zang to release the imprisoned Huang Chengyan, who is my friend."
"Huang Chengyan?" Zang Ba turned to look at Wu Dun and asked, "Did you arrest someone today?"
Wu Dundao: "I captured a thin man who came with Yu Zhuangshi. I saw them spending the night in a cave near the top of Mount Tai last night, so I didn't bother them. I knew that this morning, the thin man wanted to go down the mountain, so I captured him.
, now locked in the dungeon."
Zang Ba said: "Hurry up and release Huang Chengyan!"
"promise!"
Not long after, Wu Dun brought Huang Chengyan to Zhongyi Hall. As soon as Huang Chengyan saw Gao Fei, his face was filled with joy. Just when he was about to open his mouth, he heard Gao Fei shout: "Brother Huang, you are fine, Yu Zigao is polite here."
Already."
Huang Chengyan is a smart man. When he heard that Gao Fei called himself Yu Zigao, he understood. He thought to himself: "Isn't Yu Zigao the same as Yu Zigao? He pronounced his name backwards. It seems that he didn't want these thieves to know about him."
His identity is correct. After all, he is the Marquis of Yan. It would be terrible if he is caught by thieves."
"Thank you, Brother Yu, for your help." Huang Chengyan quickly bowed.
Gao Fei said: "Brother Huang, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. We should go down the mountain immediately before Yuan Shao's troops arrive."
"Yu Zhuangshi, I will send someone to take you down the mountain. There is a shortcut here that can lead directly to the outside of the mountain. It can also just avoid Yuan Shao's troops. You go first. I and the other brothers will prepare carefully.
Leave here and go to Donglai County as Yu Zhuangshi said."
Gao Fei cupped his fists and said, "Well, General Zang, I'll leave first. I'll wait for you in Jicheng."
Zang Ba said: "Take care of yourself, Mr. Yu. Fourth brother, please take a few brothers to escort Mr. Yu down the mountain."
Wu Dun made a "promise" and flew high to the public. Huang Chengyan made a gesture and said: "Yu Zhuangshi, please!"
Under the leadership of Wu Dun, Gao Fei, Gongshu Fei, and Huang Chengyan quickly left the village and walked down the mountain for a while before turning into a dense forest. Walking along the dense forest down the mountain, they saw a very hidden path.
the way.
When Wu Dun said that Gao Fei and others had arrived at the place, he clasped his fists and said: "Sir Yu, just walk along this road and you can go down the mountain. You can come out of the mountain in about an hour. After walking forward for half an hour, you will enter the mountain.
You can also avoid Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in the highland realm. I have to go back and make arrangements with the leader, and I will send him off not far away."
Gao Fei cupped his fists and said, "I have a favor for you, Mr. Wu Si. Please tell Mr. Wu that I'm waiting for him in Jicheng."
Wu Dun said: "Definitely, let's say goodbye."
After Gao Fei and Wu Dun separated, they walked down the mountain road with Gong Shufei and Huang Chengyan.
After walking for a while, Huang Chengyan said: "Master Hou, who are these thieves?"
Gao Fei said: "They are not thieves, they are knight-errants who steal from the rich and give to the poor."
Huang Chengyan did not ask any more questions, but walked quietly.
Gao Fei saw that Huang Chengyan was thin but walked very fast and seemed very agile, so he asked: "Brother Huang, don't you want to go to Yan State? I'm going back now, do you want to follow me?"
Shall I go back together?"
Huang Chengyan said: "I accept Lord Hou's kindness heartily, but I've been away from home for too long, and my wife and daughter are in Xiangyang, so I'm afraid they will miss me. But don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely visit Yan State in person someday, and I'll invite you back then."
Please don’t shut up and stay away from me.”
Gao Fei laughed and said: "Okay, I won't force it. If there are any good celebrities in Jingchu area, sir, you might as well recommend one or two. The Yan Kingdom was just founded and is lacking talents."
Huang Chengyan said: "Definitely."
The three people were walking and chatting. When they were almost halfway, they heard a sound of horses neighing and people roaring from the mountain road in the distance. The noise echoed continuously in the valley, stirring up the three people.
ears.
"It seems that Yuan Shao's troops have arrived." Gao Fei said to himself.
Continuing to walk forward, the three of them stopped while walking. After all, Gong Shufei and Huang Chengyan were not as strong as Gao Fei and could not walk for a long time.
At noon, the three of them walked out of Mount Tai, and their eyes suddenly opened up. Standing on the flat ground, after Gao Fei said goodbye to Huang Chengyan, he quickly left the place with Gongshu Fei, went to Fenggao County to buy horses, and then set off.
Return to Youzhou.
Outside the county seat of Fenggao County, a group of Yuan Shao's soldiers gathered, and the gates of Fenggao County were also guarded by soldiers. At this time, Fenggao County had been used as a temporary command post for the conquest of Mount Tai. But the soldiers were very nervous.
They were slack, standing at the city gate talking and laughing, and not checking the passers-by.
Gao Fei and Gongshu Fei quickly entered the county town and bought two horses and a carriage from a wealthy family in the county. Gao Fei also put on some makeup and dressed up like a coachman, driving Gongshu Fei.
Fei drove the carriage, bought some food in the city, and then started to leave the city.
When they arrived at the city gate, Gao Fei had just driven the carriage out when he heard a loud shout from behind: "Stop the carriage in front!"
At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city gate also gathered around. Gao Fei hurriedly reined in his horse. If he did not stop, he might arouse suspicion.
A small group of cavalry came from behind. A cavalry commander in armor led more than ten cavalrymen to Gao Fei's side. Seeing Gao Fei's pockmarked face and crooked lips and eyes, the cavalry commander raised his eyebrows.
Horsewhip pointed at Gao Fei and asked: "Huh? Why did the driver change? Where is Lao Wang?"
Gao Fei hurriedly replied: "Lao Wang is not feeling well today, so the master asked me to drive the car for Lao Wang."
The cavalry general glanced at the carriage, with a smile on his face, and said directly to Gao Fei: "You drive the carriage and follow me!"
Gao Fei saw that the cavalry commander had a decent appearance, he was only about thirty years old, with a green beard and a white face. With that armor, he looked very brave. However, when he saw the cavalry commander, he asked him to follow the cavalry commander without saying a word.
Go, even though I was a little confused, I had no choice but to follow.
The cavalry general was in front, and Gao Fei followed behind. After leaving the city, the cavalry general let the cavalry following him disperse, and only led Gao Fei to a remote woods. After arriving in the woods, the cavalry general
