When Gao Fei heard that the person calling himself Jia Xu, he looked at Jia Xu again and felt a little surprised in his heart. He never expected that Jia Xu, known as the "Poison Master", would appear in Beigong Boyu's camp. He was surprised.
, he still did not forget the due etiquette, raised his hand slightly, motioned Jia Xu to sit down, and invited: "It turns out to be Mr. Jia, sir, please sit down quickly, it is a great pleasure in life to be able to meet him."
Jia Xu smiled and sat opposite Gao Fei. Seeing that Gao Fei was so polite to him, he didn't say anything. Speaking of celebrities, Jia Xu was not famous at this time. He was not even as famous as Bian Zhang and Han Sui.
Although he was famous, he served as an official once, but it was not ideal. Later, he resigned and stayed at home. He did not become an official again, but waited for the opportunity at home.
When Gao Fei saw Jia Xu just sitting down, he winked at Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun poured a glass of wine for Jia Xu and pushed it in front of Jia Xu.
Jia Xu first looked at Gao Fei and saw that Gao Fei was not very old, but there was an air of elegance in his movements, which was inconsistent with what he heard about the general who led the army to pacify the Yellow Turbans on the battlefield, and he felt dissatisfied in his heart.
I felt even more favorable. Then I saw Gao Fei's rugged face, but there was a kind of majesty that was very breathtaking, and I secretly made up my mind.
Gao Fei saw that Jia Xu was looking at him constantly but did not say anything. He also saw that the prefect was stroking his beard and raising the corners of his eyes slightly, as if he was extremely satisfied. He didn't know what Jia Xu's purpose was, so he took the initiative to ask
He said: "Sir, there must be something important to do when you visit late at night. I wonder if you have any advice, sir?"
Jia Xu glanced sideways at Zhao Yun, as if he felt that someone was present and it was extremely inconvenient to speak, so he remained silent.
Gao Fei understood and immediately said: "Zi Long is my confidant and my brother and sister. If you have anything to say, sir, just say it. There is no need to worry."
Jia Xu chuckled and said: "The Marquis has misunderstood what I meant. The people who can be taken by the Marquis are naturally the Marquis' confidants. However, I am afraid that the walls have ears, so I want to ask this strong man to guard the door."
Gao Fei vaguely felt that Jia Xu had something secret to tell him, not to mention that he was overjoyed to see Jia Xu and hoped to have such a counselor by his side, so he softly shouted to Zhao Yun:
"Zi Long."
Needless to say, Zhao Yun immediately understood the name. He stood up, walked straight to the outside of the stone house, and stood upright outside the stone house.
When Jia Xu saw that Zhao Yun had gone out to guard the door, he said softly: "The story of Lord Hou's pacification of the Yellow Turbans in Hebei has spread throughout Liangzhou. I have heard about it, but I don't know what the purpose of Lord Hou's coming here is."
Gao Fei said: "Oh, I came here to visit a friend. I was passing through here and saw the valley owner's warm invitation, so I stayed for a day or two."
Jia Xu said "Oh", lowered his voice, and said slowly: "Does the Marquis know that he is in danger?"
Gao Fei was shocked: "How can you say this?"
Jia Xu said: "The Marquis only thinks that he is here to be a guest, but the owner of the valley does not treat the Marquis like this, but has other motives. Now the Marquis is in danger, and even if he wants to leave, he can no longer escape.
I'm afraid that the Marquis will be even more ruined from now on."
Gao Fei hurriedly asked: "Sir, can you tell me in detail?"
Jia Xu said: "The Marquis is now famous far and wide. This is why Beigong Boyu took advantage of the Marquis. Beigong Boyu had already had the intention to rebel. In the past year, he has even colluded with the Qiang people, just because the Qiang people were not ready yet."
It’s appropriate, and my reputation is not enough to frighten the entire Liangzhou, so I don’t dare to openly rebel. Now that the Marquis has come, he has become Beigong Boyu’s scapegoat. It’s really a sheep in the tiger’s mouth!”
Gao Fei was also puzzled. No wonder Li Wenhou treated him respectfully along the way. It turned out to be a premeditated plan. He originally took this opportunity to persuade Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu to work for him, but he never thought that he would fall into the tiger's mouth and be unable to extricate himself.
When he saw that Jia Xu was sitting in front of him, he was very calm, and his words were unhurried. In addition, he had already known that Jia Xu was a famous counselor, so he asked: "Since sir is willing to tell secrets, could he also
Caught by Beigong Boyu?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "No, I am forced to make a living and do it as a last resort."
Then Gao Fei heard Jia Xu talk about his difficulties. It turned out that Jia Xu's reputation was not very good. Since he resigned, he had no salary, but the family had to eat, and he couldn't let his wife and children starve and freeze.
So he went out to find a job by himself, and happened to meet Bei Gong Boyu secretly recruiting troops. He needed someone who could read and write, and the commission was not cheap, so he stayed here temporarily. Later, he learned that Bei Gong Boyu was in
Preparing for the rebellion, it was too late to regret, so I had to agree on the surface, but secretly thought about how to escape.
After listening to Jia Xu's story, Gao Fei felt that judging from the current situation, Jia Xu was not difficult to conquer. No matter whether he was a famous general or a counselor, he needed a Bole to discover him. Gao Fei felt that Beigong Boyu's rebellion was a certainty.
It was just a matter of time, so he said to Jia Xu: "Sir, if you tell me this important secret, aren't you afraid that Beigong Boyu will become suspicious?"
Jia Xu chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I am quite trustworthy in front of Beigong Boyu. But when I heard about Mr. Hou's arrival today, I thought that Mr. Hou is also a person on the battlefield, so he must have the ability to escape from here.
So I took the risk to meet the Marquis, hoping to get some help from the Marquis and let us escape from this place together."
After Gao Fei heard this, he realized that Jia Xu didn't want to be a rebel, but wanted to use his bravery to help him escape, so he was using himself. He chuckled and asked:
"My husband and I have only met each other once, and yet he has shown his true feelings to me. Aren't you afraid that I and Beigong Boyu will be in cahoots with each other?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "If I don't have this confidence, how can I dare to talk to the Marquis about these things?"
After Gao Fei heard this, regardless of whether Jia Xu was using him to make a bet, he was betting on the right thing. He would not join forces with Beigong Boyu. He would use the quelling Beigong Boyu's rebellion as a springboard.
Then he left this ghost place far away and went to the Northeast Holy Land in his mind to develop.
"Since you are confident, sir, you must have already thought of a strategy to escape from this place, right?"
Jia Xu nodded and said: "What the Marquis said is right. I have already thought of it. It's just that I don't have the strength to restrain a chicken. Compared with these Qiang and Hu men, I am determined not to escape. If the Marquis is willing to help
Once I escape from the den of thieves and reunite with my family, I am willing to be loyal to the Marquis."
When luck is good, nothing can stop it. Gao Fei feels that he has been lucky these days. Except for entering the den of thieves, when he heard Jia Xu say this, of course he accepted it happily. Regardless of whether Jia Xu was an expedient,
Whether he sincerely surrenders to him or not, it is a great joy for him.
Gao Fei immediately asked: "I wonder what your clever plan is, sir?"
Jia Xu said: "It's not a clever plan, it's just a perfect opportunity. Otherwise, I wouldn't have visited late at night. I have heard the news that Beigong Boyu will go to Xiqiang tomorrow. Only Li Wenhou will stay in the valley. Li Wenhou and
The Marquis is a fellow countryman, so the Marquis could have invited Li Wenhou to a banquet in this name, captured him at the banquet, and held Li Wenhou hostage. At least it would have been a deterrent to others, so that they would not dare to move, and we could escape.
Get out of here."
Gao Fei said: "Okay, then we will act according to Sir's plan. Everything depends on Sir."
The two of them had reached an agreement, and Jia Xu was afraid that staying too long might arouse the suspicion of the Hu people, so he left immediately.
After Jia Xu left, Zhao Yun walked in and asked, "Master Hou, is this person trustworthy?"
Gao Fei said: "It's trustworthy. Not only is it trustworthy, but he will definitely become a wise man under me to give advice in the future. I will observe openly and secretly when Beigong Boyu will travel, and then I will ask Marquis Li Wen to come and talk about it."
Zhao Yun made a "promise" and said: "What should we do with those imprisoned scholars?"
"When the time comes, we will rescue him together. Staying here will only be a disaster."
"I understand. I will go back and tell Xia Houlan and Pei Yuanshao to deal with it carefully. Mr. Marquis, please rest early. I will retire!"
After Zhao Yun left, Gao Fei blew out the candles, closed the door, and then lay down on the stone bed covered with wool, thinking slowly: "It seems that the Liangzhou rebellion is going to happen in advance. As soon as he escapes,
, I must quickly return to Xiangwu, move all the clans to Chencang, gather some soldiers, and pay a visit to the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, and report this matter to the Liangzhou Governor, so that he can take precautions early, so as to reduce the pressure on Chencang, me.
.”
On the next day, Beigong Boyu went out with a group of people, and Zhao Yun immediately invited Marquis Li Wen to drink with Gao Fei.
At noon, Marquis Li Wen came to Gao Fei's stone house excitedly. The two exchanged greetings for a few words and then sat down. After that, Pei Yuanshao personally brought wine and meat.
After Gao Fei and Li Wenhou clinked a glass of wine with each other, they heard Li Wenhou say: "Master Hou is in a good mood today, but I have something I don't know whether to say or not?"
Gao Fei said: "You and I are both from the same country. If there is anything you can't talk about, just say it!"
Marquis Li Wen first sighed, and then said slowly: "Now that the ten permanent servants are in charge of the government, the people of the world are in dire straits, and the people of Liangzhou are even more miserable. The Marquis killed the Yellow Turban and made outstanding achievements, but he only lost a thousand households.
I hold the title of Marquis of Duxiang in this household, and I feel unjust for the Marquis!"
Gao Fei naturally recognized Li Wenhou's words and guessed that Beigong Boyu wanted to use Li Wenhou to persuade him to join the rebel ranks. After hearing this, he sighed heavily and said loudly: "There is no way to do this.
I, Gao Fei, was extremely loyal to the big man, but in the end...forget it, let’s not talk anymore, let’s have a drink!”
Li Wenhou chuckled and said: "Wait a minute, Lord Marquis. With the current reputation of Lord Marquis, everyone in Liangzhou knows it. If you can rise up and shout, people will definitely respond. The decline of the Han Dynasty is an opportunity for us men to make contributions. Now in the Central Plains
The Yellow Turban is not over yet. If the Marquis can lead us to rise from Liangzhou at this time and unite with the Qiang and Hu, we will definitely be able to take Liangzhou as our own. Then we can take advantage of the trend to capture the three auxiliaries and occupy Guanzhong. It will not be an exaggeration to become an emperor by then.
!”
Gao Fei deliberately acted very excited and immediately shouted: "Okay, that's good, we Liangzhou people should be like this. But... I don't walk around among the Qiang and Hu. Can those Qiang and Hu listen to me?"
When Marquis Li Wen heard Gao Fei's question, he chuckled and said: "You don't have to worry about this Marquis. Beigong Boyu has already contacted the Qiang and Hu, but he is a Hu after all, and I am also half a Hu. If something happens,
I'm afraid that the Liangzhou nobles won't accept it, so we are willing to publicly recommend the Marquis as the leader and lead us to conquer the world together. When the time comes..."
Li Wenhou pointed out the country and told Gao Fei about his ambition and great cause in his heart with a face full of joy. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun had walked over quietly, a cold light flashed in front of him, and a scimitar was placed on Li Wenhou's neck.
, causing Li Wenhou’s words to come to an abrupt end.
Gao Fei saw the surprised expression on Marquis Li Wen's face and laughed loudly: "I have wronged Brother Li for asking him to send us out of the valley. When we get to a safe place, I will definitely let you go back."
