When the troops advanced westward to Yi County, Gao Fei and Cao Cao encountered the soldiers and horses retreating from Chencang. Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong's 30,000 soldiers and horses were transferred back by Huangfu Song. In addition, the soldiers and horses in Chencang City
The troops and horses that were originally withdrawn from Liangzhou were also transferred, leaving only Fu Xie, Gai Xun and two thousand troops stationed in Chencang to assist Gao Fei and Cao Cao in their bluffing.
Along the way, Gao Fei took the initiative to talk to Cao Cao. During the conversation, it was not difficult for Gao Fei to discover that Wei Taizu was indeed a great person and had unique insights into things. Cao Cao, who is now the Polu General, also had a deep dislike for Shi Changshi.
In his early years, when he served as the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang, he did not have to be a close relative, and all his crimes were punished. Later, he offended the interests of the ten permanent servants, and was sent to the East County as a Dunqiu Order. Fortunately, Cao Cao's family was good, and his grandfather
Cao Teng was once a powerful eunuch, and his father Cao Song was also a rich man. He once spent money to buy a Taiwei. Although he only served as a lieutenant for three months, he was still one of the three noble officials. In addition, Cao Cao was a progressive man.
, as soon as the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, he was immediately worshiped as the Cavalry Captain, began to conquer the Yellow Turban thieves, and won the title of General Polu for his meritorious service.
The march was boring, and Gao Fei had nothing to do, so he chatted with Cao Cao, who was walking side by side with him: "I heard that the troops led by General Huangfu this time suppressed the Yellow Turban rebellion in Yingchuan and Nanyang.
In order to quell the Liangzhou rebellion, the imperial court mobilized eight elite soldiers. The younger brother was very ignorant. Apart from Dong Zhuo, the general of the East Zhonglang, Bao Hong, the general of the South Zhonglang, and Brother Meng De, the other five people did not know about them.
, I wonder if Brother Meng De can tell me something?"
Cao Cao had no expression on his face, maybe because he was numbed by the cold wind. He put his hands to his mouth and took a breath, then rubbed each other. It looked like he was extremely cold. After he finished doing this,
Then he said slowly: "The other few people are also famous figures, most of them are people who have contributed a lot to the suppression of the Yellow Turbans. They are Sun Jian, the left Zhonglang general, Yuan Shu, the Huben Zhonglang general, Liu Biao, the right Zhonglang general, and the gangsters."
General Zhou Shen."
After listening to this, Gao Fei felt that this counterinsurgency army was indeed a big deal. Almost all the people used were warlords from each town in the future. Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Dong Zhuo, plus Cao Cao, Huangfu Song had so many subordinates.
The princes each dominate their own side. It seems that the suppression of the Liangzhou rebellion will definitely become a test stone for all princes, and the drama of competing for credit will surely be staged frequently.
When he heard Zhou Shen's name, he became angry. This guy who made him unable to go to Liaodong would definitely take back this bad breath when he saw him in the future. He was angry, but then he thought about Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
Among Zhou Shen's troops, and they were about to meet again, there was an inexplicable excitement on their faces.
He laughed twice, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that one of the people Cao Cao was talking about was missing, so he asked: "Brother Meng De, you seem to have missed someone. There should be one missing person!"
Cao Cao smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "Far away in the horizon, but close in front of us, don't the majestic rebel generals and Duxiang Hou not count?"
"Me?" Gao Fei was surprised. He didn't expect that he was one of the eight members of the counter-rebellion army.
Cao Cao nodded and turned to look at Gao Fei. He saw that Gao Fei had a dignified appearance and a majestic appearance. His armor gave off a majestic aura, which made people fall in love with him. There was a hint of love in his eyes.
The strangeness was fleeting and did not cause anyone to notice it. He then said: "General Gao first pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Hebei, and then killed the Liangzhou governor who colluded with the Qiang and Hu rebels in Liangzhou. He killed 60,000 Liangzhou people.
Many people were safely transferred to the Chang'an area, avoiding the people's lives. Later, they blocked 100,000 rebels in Chencang. These achievements are known to the world. Isn't General Gao's reputation at this time not enough to serve as a general?
?"
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Gao Fei suddenly felt that his fame was already so great. In ancient times, with great fame, no matter what he did, there were many benefits. Once he recruited troops, famous ministers and good generals would definitely flock to him. He didn't
He was light and airy because of the high hat Cao Cao put on him, and he was not arrogant because he had so many merits. He didn't care about these false names. What he wanted was a piece of territory, a territory that belonged only to himself. It was more real than these false names.
many.
"Brother Meng De, thank you very much. These are just what a younger brother should do. Be loyal to the Han Dynasty and think about the people of the Han Dynasty. There is nothing more to say." Gao Fei said these words humbly, but something flashed through his mind quickly.
After passing the big-eared Liu Bei, he turned around and asked, "Brother Meng De, do you know Liu Bei?"
"Liu Bei?" Cao Cao felt a little surprised and seemed to be a little interested, so he asked, "Does General Gao also know Liu Bei?"
Gao Fei nodded and said, "From what Brother Meng De said, you should know Liu Bei too?"
Cao Cao said "Huh" and looked ahead without saying anything. After a long time, he gently asked: "How did General Gao and Liu Bei know each other?"
"We met in the past when we were quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Hebei. At that time, the three brothers Liu Bei and three hundred local warriors came to join the army. General Zhonglang did not accept him. He was incorporated into my army only after my strong recommendation. Later,
We fought side by side and killed the Yellow Turbans. Later, after the Yellow Turbans were pacified in Hebei, His Majesty named me the Duxiang Marquis and Chencang Ling. I asked Liu Bei to follow Zhou Shen, the current bandit general, to Yingchuan to quell the Yellow Turbans. I came with my personal entourage.
Chen Cang took office. I have never seen him again, and I don’t know if he is doing well in Zhou Shen’s army. I will definitely meet him when I have the opportunity in the future.” Gao Fei slowly explained his friendship with Liu Bei,
There was also a hint of sadness in his words. After all, he had never conquered Liu Bei, which meant that he could not defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Cao Cao sighed softly and said: "General Gao and Liu Bei have a closer relationship than me. It's a pity that the general can't meet Liu Bei in Liangzhou."
"Why is this?" Gao Fei asked hurriedly.
Cao Cao said: "General Gao doesn't know?"
"Did something happen?" Gao Fei saw Cao Cao's solemn expression and continued to ask.
"Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei have been dismissed by the imperial court for beating Zhou Shen. Now the three of them have left the Han army. I don't know their whereabouts. What a pity for these three heroes!"
"Beat Zhou Shen? It must have been forced by Zhou Shen, otherwise how could Liu Bei do it so easily? Brother Meng De, I believe you must know what happened. What is going on?"
Cao Cao said: "What can you do if you know it? You can't kill Zhou Shen, right? Killing an official of the imperial court without permission is a capital crime!"
"Zhou Shen!" Gao Fei gritted his teeth with hatred and squeezed out these two words from between his teeth.
Seeing this, Cao Cao comforted him and said: "General Gao, the matter is over. It is useless for you to think about it again. Moreover, Zhou Shen is a cunning villain. He framed Xuande, Yun Chang and Yide. He said
The three of them stole the army rations and soldiers' pay. Although Xuande had a good temper, his subordinates Yun Chang and Yide were not easy to offend. In a rage, they beat Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen had ten regular attendants to support him, so what?
Dare not do it? Originally, I wanted to kill Xuande, Yun Chang, and Yide. Fortunately, I arrived in time and stopped Zhou Shen's behavior. In fact...the reason why the three of them were treated like this was because
you……"
"Me?" Gao Fei suddenly recalled that before leaving, he asked Zhou Shen to promote Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Zhou Shen was jealous and resentful of him. Unexpectedly, it affected Chi Yu and spread his anger on Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.
After thinking about it, he secretly made up his mind that one day, he would let Zhou Shen repay all his mental losses!
Cao Cao and Gao Fei didn't talk much on the way, but they became closer. Maybe it was because of Liu Bei, or maybe they both cared about each other, or maybe it was because of their deep respect for Zhou Shen or even Shi Changshi.
Hate and hate, silence is better than sound at this time.
The cold wind was howling and snowflakes were flying. Gao Fei, Cao Cao and all the soldiers marching in the wind and snow were all covered in white clothes, and their eyebrows were all white. As Gao Fei walked along, he felt that the distance was not long.
, just like the old man of the Red Army climbing a snow-capped mountain and crossing a long grassland. It was already three days later when we finally reached Chencang. Fu Xie and Gai Xun had come back a long time ago. As soon as they heard about Gao Fei, Cao Cao was back with his army.
, and a banquet was immediately held.
At the banquet, Gao Fei, Cao Cao, Fu Xie, and Gai Xun toasted to each other. The warm wine, coupled with the spiciness of the wine, immediately warmed people's bodies and made their blood boil. The four of them were standing beside each other.
While drinking and chatting, the most talked about thing was nothing but hatred for Shi Changshi. Although Cao Teng, Cao Teng's grandfather, was also a eunuch, he was a good eunuch. Although Cao Teng held great power, he devoted himself to serving the country. At that time, he was also a eunuch.
It has won considerable praise, but it is a pity that Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others are now causing harm to the country and the people.
Gao Fei did not express any opinions. He did not belong to this era, and his hatred for the Shi Changshi was not as strong as that of Fu Xie, Gai Xun, and Cao Cao. In the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was almost a constant rotation between relatives and eunuchs.
, and the corrupt politics in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were concentrated in the chaos of eunuchs. As people around the emperor, eunuchs could easily stir up trouble, kill relatives, repeatedly set up party prisons, and attack the officials and officials of the court. "The country was in turmoil for more than twenty years."
"The gang members of his descendants are spread all over the states and counties, doing evil and preying on the common people.
This extremely dark Zhuanzhi aroused the storm of the Yellow Turban Uprising. Although the Yellow Turban Uprising was quickly suppressed, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty still reused eunuchs, which aggravated the conflicts within the ruling class of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Under such a general background, it is bound to
It will lead to some far-sighted and ambitious people to expand their power, and the struggle for hegemony among heroes will definitely enter this inevitable stage in history.
Gao Fei drank wine slowly while listening to the conversation between Cao Cao, Fu Xie and Gai Xun. After drinking, Fu Xie and Gai Xun became drunk. Cao Cao blushed and burped, and when he opened his mouth, he was full of smoke.
The smell of wine.
"Come here, help Fu Xie and Gai Xun into the room to rest!" Gao Fei shouted outside the door.
Ma Jiu came in with several government servants, supported Fu Xie, and Gai Xun left the hall, leaving only Cao Cao, who was still pouring wine alone, and Gao Fei, who was standing at the table.
Seeing that Cao Cao was already drunk, Gao Fei shook his head and said, "Brother Meng De, shall I help you back to your room?"
Cao Cao suddenly stood up, staggering around and said: "I...go back to the room by myself, I don't need you...to help..."
Suddenly, Cao Cao stumbled and fell to the ground, unable to get up. His armor was covered in dust.
Gao Fei smiled and thought to himself: "Who would have thought that the wise and powerful Wei Taizu would look like this bear after being drunk?"
He walked forward, helped Cao Cao up, and said softly: "Brother Meng De, you have drunk too much, I will help you go back to your room to rest!"
Cao Cao did not lose his true character. As soon as he heard about the break, he immediately asked: "Are there any prostitutes in the city?"
This sentence sounded familiar to Gao Fei. He looked at the somewhat unattractive Cao Mengde in front of him, shook his head and said: "Having sex after drinking is unacceptable. There are no prostitutes, only hens. Do you want it?"
Cao Cao didn't seem to hear clearly, and his legs were not tight, and he still walked awkwardly. As soon as he left the hall, when he heard Gao Fei's answer, he said: "It's fine if she's a prostitute!"
Gao Fei smiled, personally sent Cao Cao back to the room, and then walked out. After closing the door, he joked: "I didn't expect Cao Mengde to be so lustful. He is really unique in the world!"
