It is not shameful for Gao Fei to steal something from the Han army and use it for his own use. In history, Cao Cao once set up the post of gold-touching captain, but he did tomb robbing. This is a hundred times more shameful than him.
So his little trouble is nothing compared to Cao Cao.
After returning to Chencang, Gao Fei began to let Zhao Yun and Lu Heng make secret plans, while he himself sat quietly in the county government office, and called the alternate county lieutenant Ma Jiu, asking him and his group of government servants to participate in the plan.
He acted as an errand boy, delivering messages.
In the evening, Fu Xie and Gai Xun returned from inspecting the Han military camp in the east of the city. As soon as they entered the county government office, they were surprised to find Gao Fei sitting in the county government hall. This was the first strange thing in half a month.
In more than ten days, Fu Xie and Gai Xun met Gao Fei face to face for the first time, but fortunately there was nothing going on now, and they didn't need to ask what Gao Fei was doing these days.
"Master Hou is so cheerful today. He is actually sitting here reading a book!" Gai Xun said when he saw Gao Fei sitting in the county office holding a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War and savoring it carefully.
Gao Fei smiled, put down the book in his hand, stood up, raised his hands to Fu Xie and Gai Xun, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you two adults?"
Fu Xie, Gai Xun and Gao Fei exchanged greetings with each other, and then the three of them sat in the county government office. Fu Xie raised his hands and asked: "What are you busy with lately, Mr. Hou? He always sees the beginning but not the end.
Even the Marquis’s personal followers are no longer visible, and there is only one Ma Jiu in the entire county government who is temporarily serving as county captain."
"Oh, I'm not busy. I just took my subordinates to inspect the road from Chencang to Hanyang. I want to know more about the rebels so that when the counter-rebellion army arrives, I can tell General Huangfu
The current situation of the rebels."
Gai Xun said: "Master Hou is really a role model for our generation. Recently, Mr. Fu and I have sent some scouts. Apart from knowing that the rebels retreated to Jicheng, we can't find out any other information. I don't know about Hou."
Is there any detailed military information from your side?"
Gao Fei said: "Master Gai is right. I have sent ten of my personal followers to lurk in Liangzhou, and I still have a certain understanding of the movements of the rebels. I heard that Captain Wuji of the Western Regions stationed in Dunhuang suffered
During the fierce attack by the Shaodang Qiang rebels, the captain died in battle, and Dunhuang was occupied by the rebels. In addition, the rebel leader Bian Zhang and Han Sui continued to win over many Qiang and Hu people. Now Liang
There are almost 250,000 rebels in Liangzhou. According to my speculation, the rebels want to temporarily survive a harsh winter in Liangzhou and wait until next spring to attack Sanfu with all their strength. By the way, General Huangfu's army has arrived.
Where is it?"
Gai Xun said: "According to the news received yesterday, General Huangfu has sent Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong as the vanguard with 30,000 troops to go to Chencang first, and he himself led 70,000 troops to follow. Now the group is almost ready
We have arrived at Hongnong, and the front parts of Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong are expected to arrive here tomorrow afternoon."
"So fast? Didn't you mean a month?" Gao Fei was a little surprised. What surprised him was not the time, but Dong Zhuo, the initiator who really made the Han Dynasty enter the struggle for hegemony. He was finally going to meet in this small Chencang.
, in addition to being a little disgusted, he was also a little inexplicably excited. He wanted to meet Dong Zhuo and see what Dong Zhuo was like.
"Well, the reaction this time is a bit fast. After all, the Qiang and Hu rebellion in Liangzhou is not as good as those of the Yellow Turbans. The Qiang and Hu people are fierce and brave, and their people are brave and good at fighting. If they are not punished, it will probably bring disaster to the entire Han Dynasty. The Yellow Turban Uprising is just a
Some people were deceived and just started making noise, so they couldn't stir up any big trouble. By the way, Lord Marquis, an imperial edict came today. The Marquis was not in Chencang, so the two of us had to accept the edict for the Marquis. His Majesty has officially granted the title of Marquis.
In order to fight against the rebellious general, I asked the Marquis to follow General Huangfu into Liangzhou to quell the rebellion. Congratulations to the Marquis on your promotion!" Gai Xun said with a joyful expression.
Gao Fei smiled and was about to speak, but he heard Fu Xie add: "But... but the post of governor of Liangzhou... Your Majesty has officially appointed the post of Chariot and Cavalry General Huangfu Song, and asked General Huangfu to maintain integrity.
, Your Majesty made this decision in order to allow Huangfu Song to focus on suppressing the rebellion, and it was definitely not because he did not trust the Marquis. I also ask the Marquis not to be secretly sad."
"There is nothing to be sad about. Your Majesty just asked me to take over temporarily. I also understand the reason. Now that I have been given the title of General of Disobedience, you already think highly of me. You two adults don't have to worry about me."
At this time, Gai Xun took out an imperial edict and a seal ribbon, handed them to Gao Fei, and said: "Please, Lord Marquis... no, please take good care of it, General!"
During these days in the Han Dynasty, Gao Fei thoroughly understood the differences between the large and small official positions and titles in the Han Dynasty. For example, he was previously the Marquis of Duxiang, Chencang Ling. In fact, there are many grades for marquises, and his food
A city with a thousand households is a marquis of a thousand households. Although this kind of marquis is also a marquis, in the Han Dynasty, this kind of marquis is the lowest one and basically has no rights. Without the position of Chen Cangling, he would not be able to mobilize at all.
Everything in Chencang and Shiyi is just a regular payment of taxes to him, which is equivalent to being a landlord.
Only marquises with more than 5,000 households can establish their own feudal states, and can set up their own armies and official positions. Therefore, in a sense, his Duxiang Hou is just a false name, which is used by the court to reward meritorious people.
Regarding things like military rank. Now Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty made him the General of the Rebellion, which is equivalent to giving him a very good position. Although he is a miscellaneous general, he is still a general, which is better than nothing.
After continuing to chat for a while, the sky gradually dimmed, and a plan code-named Nighthawk quietly unfolded under the darkness of night. Gao Fei was secretly glad that he chose to act tonight, because tomorrow the counter-rebellion forces would have to
When he came, he set an accurate number for his Feiyu troops to steal: 5,000 shi of rice grain, 100,000 arrows, 2,000 sets of swords and shields, 2,000 spears, 2,000 crossbows, and 100,000 crossbow arrows
As for the gold, because the amount stolen in this operation was huge, and considering that gold is a heavy thing, it was not included in the scope of theft.
Among the stolen resources Guang Gaofei listed, in addition to rice grains, swords, shields, spears, and powerful crossbows, arrows were the main stolen resources. Gao Fei had personally visited the treasury, and there were arrows and crossbows each.
The stock of one million arrows, each missing 100,000 arrows, is nothing to the Han army, but it would take a lot to load these 200,000 arrows in bundles on carriages and haul them away.
It's time.
After nightfall, Gao Fei used his existing authority to transfer Zhao Yun to the top of the city and arranged for him to be responsible for the night vigil at the top of the city, while Lu Heng was hiding in the city, ready to set fire at any time. As for the patrol team in the city, Gao Fei
Fei temporarily gave them a day off on the grounds that the public security was good and the soldiers were working hard. Ma Jiu also participated with twenty government officials, guarding the county government office and responsible for "protecting" the safety of Fu Xie and Gai Xun. Ma Jiu also
Responsible for the task of delivering messages.
Pang De, Hua Xiong and a team of two thousand people were secretly lurking outside the west gate of Chencang City. Everyone was wearing night clothes and covering their heads and faces, with only their two eyes exposed, looking like ninjas.
There was still a quarter of an hour before midnight. Zhao Yun looked at the night, estimated the time, and said to the soldier standing on guard on the tower: "Brother, are you tired?"
The soldier replied: "Thank you for your concern, sir. I'm not tired at all!"
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Okay, okay, we have been together for more than a day or two. We are all brothers. Nothing has happened for more than half a month. I believe nothing will happen tonight. I saw you yawning just now.
Come on, if you're tired, go to the Bell and Drum Tower to rest first. It's warm inside. It's so cold in this cold weather. It won't be good if you get frozen. I'll take care of you Lord Marquis."
Since the rebels left, the number of soldiers on night watch has been relatively reduced. There are only a few dozen people on the city tower. In fact, all this was cleverly arranged by Gao Fei. As early as when he established the Feiyu Army, he wanted to take the Han army from the palace
Curry came up with something, so he kept reducing the number of soldiers keeping vigil just for today.
The soldiers were no longer strangers to Zhao Yun, and after hearing what Zhao Yun said so sincerely, dozens of them hid in the Bell and Drum Tower. Zhao Yun also walked in, and after staying with the soldiers for less than a while, he heard
Hearing the sound of soldiers snoring, he used his urine to escape from the bell and drum towers on the city wall, quickly walked down the city wall, covered his face, knocked out two soldiers guarding the city gate at a very fast speed, and then quietly opened the city wall.
Door.
As soon as the city gate was opened, Pang De, Hua Xiong and others were seen tiptoeing into the city with a thousand people, leaving Zhou Cang, Guan Hai, Pei Yuanshao, Xia Houlan, Fei An and a thousand soldiers waiting outside the city gate.
.
Zhao Yun took Pang De, Hua Xiong, Li Wenhou, Liao Hua and a thousand soldiers and sneaked into the treasury. The guards beside the treasury had already been knocked unconscious by Gao Fei, who was also waiting in night clothes.
There, he waved to Zhao Yun and others.
Everyone gathered together and Gao Fei asked: "Is everyone here?"
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Everyone is here, my lord, I will go back now, my lord, please be careful!"
Gao Fei said: "Don't worry, remember to behave better later, I will take them here to wait for Bian Xi's key."
Zhao Yun immediately took off the black cloth that covered his face and ran back to Ximen in a hurry, leaving only Gao Fei and others waiting at the door of the treasury. The door of the treasury was made of fine steel and was not only locked.
, there are also iron chains wrapped around it, and after the door is opened, there are several small doors of the same type, which store grain, gold, silver, and weapons and equipment separately. If you pry open the doors one by one, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is easy to get them out.
The noise caused unnecessary trouble. So Gao Fei asked Bian Xi to steal the key. Using the key can save a lot of things.
In the county government office, Bian Xi had been lurking in Fu Xie's room early, hiding under the cold bed. He had been waiting until now, but this time it didn't go so well. Fu Xie kept burning the midnight oil and reading without any signs of failure.
Bian Xi was so anxious that he wanted to sleep. It was almost midnight. If he couldn't successfully steal the key, he might not be able to explain it in front of Gao Fei, which would further damage his reputation as a flying thief.
Fu Xie held the manuscript of Han Shu compiled by Ban Gu in his hand and was reading it carefully. Although his eyes were a little bloodshot, he was not sleepy at all and was working hard. He just turned the page and suddenly noticed that he
The lights in front of him flashed, and a black figure suddenly appeared behind him. He felt a vague premonition of something ominous. He suddenly dodged to the weapon rack on the side, pulled out his long sword, and when he turned around, he saw a black figure.
Ying stood there and shouted: "How dare you break into my residence at night!"
Bian Xi was very upset. He crawled out from under the bed and wanted to knock Fu Xie unconscious with a palm. He didn't expect that Fu Xie, who always looked a bit gentle and weak, would react so quickly. Before the wind of his palm struck the air, Fu Xie
She had noticed him and jumped out. Fortunately, Fu Xie couldn't see him because he had his face covered, but in this case, Bian Xi could only find a way to knock down Fu Xie and get the key.
Seeing that Bian Xi didn't answer, Fu Xie stopped asking questions and stabbed Bian Xi with his long sword.
Bian Xi came to steal this time without any weapons such as swords, and he did not expect that such a thing would happen. He saw that Fu Xie was not afraid of him at all, but launched the attack calmly, without shouting or yelling, as if Fu Xie had enough
The ability is the same as his own. He sneered and secretly shouted in his heart: "To measure how capable you are as a civil servant, I'll knock you out first!"
Accident, purely accidental.
Fu Xie's swordsmanship far exceeded Bian Xi's expectations. Under the dim light, he saw the cold light shining in the room, and the sword's sharp edge, forcing the unarmed Bian Xi to retreat continuously, without the ability to fight back.
"Bold madman, today I want you to see how powerful I am. If you are wise, you can catch me without any help, and I can still spare your life!" Fu Xie said to Bian Xi confidently while wielding his sword.
Bian Xi's face was filled with pain. He didn't expect that things would go so poorly today, and that he would be forced into such a situation. But his reputation as a flying thief was not unfounded. If he didn't work hard, how could he have never been arrested?
He was forced into a corner by Fu Xie. Seeing the flash of Fu Xie's sword, he took the risk and raised his right leg as quickly as possible. With his right hand, he took out a sharp dagger from the combat boot he was wearing.
Before slashing, he waved his hand lightly and the dagger flew straight out.
Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Fu Xie swung out his sword and could no longer take it back. He was caught off guard and the dagger was suddenly shot into his right shoulder socket. He suddenly felt a burst of pain. He yelled "Wow",
His right hand and even his entire arm had lost all strength, and the long sword he had collected suddenly fell to the ground with a crisp sound. He covered his injured right shoulder and stepped back again and again. He was about to open his mouth and shout, "Here comes someone."
, he saw that Bian Xi's figure had already flashed in front of him. Before he could shout out, he was hit by a palm. His vision went dark, and he collapsed on the ground.
Bian Xi couldn't care less, and hurriedly found a bunch of keys from Fu Xie's body, then rushed out of the door, came to the county government yard, climbed over the wall with quick movements, and ran towards the treasury.
