Gao Fei waved his hand, indicating that the appointment would be exempted from gifts, and said: "You have done a good job, leave the rest to me. I believe Sun Jian can't sit still now."
Gan Ning said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the princess should be the most grateful. If she hadn't discovered something unusual and came back to inform the king, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous."
Gao Fei nodded and said nothing, but he was thinking in his heart: "It goes without saying that Xiaoying is loyal. I made it clear to her on the way to Soochow. If I don't explain all the causes and consequences.
She made it clear that with her character, if she knew that I had been taking advantage of her
If she says that, I'm afraid she will hate me for the rest of her life. Rather than keeping her in the dark, it's better to let her know all this. I just want her to know what I want her to do. Perhaps, I have become a complete idiot in her heart.
Villain, but this real villain is much better than a hypocrite."
Wanxiang Tower was burned by Wenpin's fire, and the fire began to spread around. Wenpin looked at the Yanlong swallowing, and said to Gao Fei: "Your Majesty, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. You should leave here as soon as possible to avoid
Injured by fire."
As soon as the three people and their entourage walked out of the inner courtyard of Wanxiang Tower, they saw Sun Jian wearing casual clothes and rushing over with Zhang Hong, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others, with strong steps and a panic look.
Sun Jian had already rested, and when he was sleeping soundly, he was woken up by Han Dang's knock on the door. When he heard about Gao Fei's assassination, he suddenly became very nervous, hurriedly gathered his troops, and put on his clothes casually.
After putting on some clothes, I walked out the door, patted my horse and went straight to Wanxiang Tower.
The Qu'a County Government Office is in the east city, and Wanxiang Tower is in the west city. Although the county town is small, the streets are wide. As soon as Sun Jian and his people left the county office, they found that there were sounds of arresting assassins everywhere in the city. Anticipating something ominous, he hurried on.
.
Finally, when he reached the position where he could see the Wanxiang Tower, he suddenly discovered that there was a fire there. Sun Jian panicked. If King Yan really died unexpectedly, he would not be able to absolve himself of the blame.
At this time, Sun Jian saw Gao Fei safe and sound accompanied by Gan Ning and Wenpin. He was happy and hurriedly walked to Gao Fei, grabbed Gao Fei's hand and asked: "Ziyu, are you okay?"
?”
Gao Fei smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry. I'm blessed with good fortune and nothing will happen to me. If something happened to me, how could I be standing here?"
Sun Jian turned around, his face changed greatly, and he immediately said to Han Dang: "Cheng Pu, what does Huang Gai do for food? Two hundred elite soldiers can't defend a Wanxiang Tower? You go to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and immediately
Remove them from all duties and let them reflect at home."
After hearing this, Gao Fei hurriedly said to Sun Jian: "Brother, the two generals Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are both meritorious men. If these two generals hadn't been guarding here, listening to my orders and deploying all this, I'm afraid my brother would never be able to do this again."
It’s hard to see me standing here anymore. My brother should reward the two generals Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.”
Sun Jiandao: "The two of them have not caught the assassin so far. They are really incompetent. There is no use in keeping such incompetent people, so don't forget them."
"No, it's not that they are incompetent, but that the assassin is too cunning. However, after a lot of careful work, he finally showed a trace of his flaws. I already know who sent the assassin, and there is no need to make the city full of trouble for one assassin.
If word spreads, it will bring bad reputation to my brother, and others may
Said, the majestic King Wu couldn't even catch an assassin. I still hope that my brother can make the big thing a trivial matter. If the matter is trivial, just treat it as nothing happened. In addition, pull a random person from the death row to act as an assassin.
To rectify the law on the spot, to calm the people's minds." Gao Fei defended Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.
Zhang Hong had been standing behind Sun Jian. After listening to Gao Fei's words, he couldn't help but sigh to himself: "This person is really good at winning people's hearts. I didn't expect that a few short words can warm people's hearts.
If Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were here, they would definitely be very grateful to Gao Fei. It seems that Mr. Xiangguo is right to worry, Gao Fei is by no means a simple person..."
Sun Jian thought for a while and felt that what Gao Fei said was very reasonable, so he said: "Brother Ziyu's words are all pearls, which makes me, the elder brother, feel ashamed."
After hearing Sun Jian's polite words, Gao Fei said: "Brother, you're welcome. My brother's reputation as a fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River is enough to prove my brother's talent and strategy. Otherwise, Yangzhou would not have been completely occupied by my brother."
"I can't speak of great talent, but I am first-rate in charging into battle. When it comes to running a country, if it weren't for the help of Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, the country of Wu would never have been able to develop such a stable development. By the way, you just said you knew who the assassin was.
Who sent it?"
Gao Fei nodded and winked at Gan Ning.
Gan Ning took out a token from his arms, leaned over and handed it to Sun Jian, saying, "King Wu, please take a look."
Sun Jian took the token and saw a square token with the word "Cao" engraved on it. He was shocked, and a very familiar person immediately appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but said in a voiceless voice.
: "Cao Cao?"
Gao Fei smiled and asked, "Brother, is that what you think?"
"I have seen this token. It is a token specially used for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Cao Cao. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are the elite of Cao Mengde's tent. They are only dispatched by Cao Mengde. Now the evidence is conclusive. Who else could Cao Cao be if he wasn't him?" Sun Jian
Holding the token tightly, there was a fierce light in his eyes, "I didn't expect Cao Mengde to be so cruel to you?"
Zhang Hong stayed behind Sun Jian all the time. He heard what Gao Fei said with a smile just now, so he tugged on the corner of Sun Jian's clothes, leaned into Sun Jian's ear and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that King Yan
I don’t think so, I guess he has other opinions, so you might as well listen to his unique insights.”
Sun Jian nodded, raised his eyelids, looked at Gao Fei, and asked: "Brother Xian, what do you think of this matter?"
The fire dragon began to rage, even though Gao Fei and others were separated by a distance, but the Wanxiang Tower was already engulfed in fire, and the raging fire was burning, scorching the people around it.
Gao Fei looked back at the burning Wanxiang Tower and said to Sun Jian: "Brother, this is not the place to talk. Can you..."
Sun Jian realized it immediately and laughed and said: "This is indeed not the place to talk. Although Wanxiang Tower is the most luxurious building in Quacheng, it has been burned down. Why don't you invite me to the county government office and talk to me all night long?
how?"
“So best.”
Later, Sun Jian and Gao Fei walked side by side, followed closely by Gan Ning, Wenpin, Zhang Hong, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others. On the way back to the county government, the group met Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Sun Jian did not
Blame them, just let them quell the riots in the city as soon as possible.
When Sun Jian, Gao Fei and others arrived at the county government office, everyone sat in the hall. Gao Fei looked around and said to Sun Jian and others: "Brother, do you know that there is a strategy called killing with a borrowed knife?"
"Kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Sun Jian and everyone present, as well as the civil and military ministers of the state of Wu, looked at each other, not quite understanding what Gao Fei was talking about.
Gao Fei said: "This assassin came and went without a trace. The two generals Cheng Pu and Huang Gai saw it with their own eyes. How could a person of such skill leave something behind so easily? Obviously, this is a debt
Putting stolen goods to blame."
After hearing this, Sun Jian felt that it made sense, and asked, "Who do you think, dear brother, is blaming someone for his debts?"
Gao Fei said: "If it were really Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not do this at all. He would only come to kill me blatantly. Although there was a little friction between me and Cao Cao, we made an alliance. I believe Cao Cao will not do this either."
I would break the covenant so early. If I was really assassinated in Wu State, and my brother believed that it was Cao Cao, he would definitely
Ran Hui will have a big war with Cao Cao, and as the soldiers and civilians of the Yan State, knowing that I died in the Wu State, they will definitely hate the Wei and Wu families. Then, Yan, Wei, and Wu will start a war at the same time.
, the world will become a world full of wars. In this way, only those who want all three of our families to fight would do such a thing."
"The person who wants our three families to fight at the same time? Who is that?" Sun Jian asked.
Gao Fei smiled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, and asked: "Brother, think about it, who wants the three of us to fight the most right now? He sits on the mountain and watches the fight between tigers and tigers?"
Sun Jian thought about it carefully and said slowly: "Since Yuan Shu was defeated by me and Cao Cao, there are only a few people left in the world. Apart from Cao Cao, Xiandi and me, there are only Liu Bei, Liu Zhang,
Ma Teng and Shi Xie were four. Liu Zhang and Shi Xie were one.
In the corner, Ma Teng abides by the small court of Chang'an. Although he once used troops to attack Xichuan, he failed to capture it. Instead, he had to retreat to Hanzhong because of the road blockage. In this way, Liu Bei was the only one left who occupied Jingzhou. Could it be... Could it be that...
My dear brother, are you talking about Liu Bei?"
"Liu Bei is a man of sanctimony and ulterior motives. Who else could be there besides him? His subordinates Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both invincible. Guan Yu once killed the unparalleled Lu Bu outside Yique Pass.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are equally powerful in terms of martial arts, and their skills are far superior to those of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai. If one of them comes, they will naturally appear and disappear."
"Liu Bei and I have no grievances, why would he do this?" Sun Jian asked in confusion.
"There is a saying that is very good, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. If your brother does not have the intention of harming others, how can you know whether others have the intention of harming others? Liu Bei is a capricious hypocrite. In this way, he can only
One purpose is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and watch the three of us fighting.
When the three of us are exhausted, he will send his army eastward along the river and be the first to wipe out his brother's Wu State. This is called the first to win the moon near the water, and then carry out the Northern Expedition. Then,
No one in the entire Han Dynasty can resist him."
After hearing this, Sun Jian broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He was not very familiar with Liu Bei. He only knew that Liu Bei had served several princes and had always been a man among the princes. He suddenly threw the token in his hand on the ground.
He said bitterly: "I almost fell into that Liu Xuande's trap."
After seeing this, Gao Fei snickered in his heart, but comforted him: "Don't worry, brother, you should take advantage of Liu Bei's unstable footing and send troops to attack Jingzhou and connect Jingzhou and Yangzhou together."
