Xu Huang has been stationed here for a long time, and he is from Hedong. When he was under Dong Zhuo's tent, he was ordered to encircle and suppress the Baibo bandits. He was relatively familiar with Hedong, Zuo Fengyi, Hongnong, and Jingzhao Yin, so he saw Gao Feizhou.
He frowned and asked, "Is your Majesty really going to Qin?"
Gao Fei nodded and said: "Cao Cao has defected to the Qin State. He is an extremely dangerous person. I am worried that Cao Cao will turn his back on the foreign affairs. If this goes on, he will inevitably subvert the Qin State, drive away Ma Teng, and replace him with Ma Chao."
Xu Huang said in disbelief: "Qin Liang is the hometown of Ma Teng and his son, and its power is deeply rooted. How could Cao Cao, who came from Guandong, overthrow Ma Teng and his son?"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Although Qin Liang is the hometown of Ma Teng and Ma Chao, it was only a few years ago that Ma Teng and Ma Chao captured Qin Liang. Don't forget, Ma Teng was recruited because he killed Dong Zhuo.
The people of Qin and Liang were very martial and had constant private fights. The people of Liangzhou were even more brave and fierce, but Ma Teng, whom Ma Chao relied on, had no choice but to fight.
If they are not Qiang people, the people in Guanzhong are all Han people, and they may not all support Ma Teng and Ma Chao. What's more, Ma Teng cannot escape the blame for the death of the Han emperor. Although they say they point the finger at me, this is undoubtedly a thief shouting to catch the thief.
Cao Cao is known as the traitor in troubled times, and his reputation is not unfounded. The fact that he was able to escape to Qin despite being pursued and intercepted by our army fully demonstrates his resourcefulness."
"So, wouldn't it be very dangerous for Your Majesty to go to Qin? Our army destroyed Wei, and Cao Cao would definitely hate Your Majesty. Ma Chao was defeated by our army. Both of them have great hatred for Your Majesty.
Once Your Majesty is discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable. I beg Your Majesty to take back your order and give up the idea of entering Qin." Xu Huang said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I have minimized the risk. How many people in the world know me? Not to mention Ma Chao and Cao Cao are not able to see me. I will disguise myself and then go to Qin."
"Do you have to go?"
"I have to go."
Xu Huang saw that Gao Fei was very persistent and thought that if someone could persuade him to do this, Gao Fei would not appear here. He sighed and said, "Then I am willing to go with your majesty. On the way
It’s good to have someone to take care of you.”
"No need, too many people is a bad thing, and it's very important for you to be stationed here. You built Taolinsai into a checkpoint. This is an important border defense area for our army. You must shoulder the responsibility."
"promise!"
Taolinsai refers to the ancient Hangu road that meanders from the west of Hangu Pass in Qin to the ancient city of Huxian on the west bank of the lake, that is, the ancient Hangu road between the old site of Huxian (the old site of Ranxiang County).
Source (Jiaocunyuan in the south), Zhudingyuan is full of peach trees.
It got its name. Its terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is very important to the Huaxia Kingdom. It can also be regarded as the first barrier for the Qin army on its way west. After Xu Huang occupied this place, he mobilized craftsmen to
A pass was built here and it became the current Taolinguan Pass.
Gao Fei's frown was still frowning. He knew the danger of Tongguan. If the Qin army did not intend to let people pass, that is to say, he would not be able to pass through here. So he asked: "Gongming, besides getting from here to Tongguan
Besides, where else can I enter Tongguan?"
Xu Huang thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it's just Fenglingdu. The rest of the places are extremely dangerous. Even if it can be climbed, the Qin army must have taken precautions."
"Fenglingdu?" Gao Fei muttered silently, "Okay, let's enter the territory of Qin from here. I will rest here for a day. I will leave here with Sima Yi early tomorrow morning."
"Who is Sima Yi?" Xu Huang asked.
"It's me!" Sima Yi walked in from the door and replied loudly.
Xu Huang turned around and looked over. Seeing that Sima Yi was only a child of about eleven years old, he became curious and asked, "Your Majesty, will you take this child to Qin?"
"What child? I am already an adult!" Sima Yi now hated others for treating him as a child and retorted.
"Zhongda, don't be rude to the right cavalry general. When you see the famous General Xu, why don't you salute quickly?" Gao Fei scolded.
Sima Yi also felt rude. Although he said that no matter how angry he was, he could not speak to Xu Huang like this. After all, he was a famous general and he was nothing. After hearing Gao Fei's scolding, Sima Yi said to Xu Huang respectfully: "Disciple of the Emperor."
Sima Yi, have met General Xu!"
When Xu Huang heard Sima Yi say that he was a disciple of the emperor, he couldn't help but look at Sima Yi differently and responded politely.
Gao Fei was very appreciative of Sima Yi's answer. This sentence of disciple of the emperor not only showed his identity, but also made his status rise a lot.
"Zhongda, weren't you resting in the house? Why did you come here?"
"Master, I couldn't sleep, so I came to see Master to see if there is anything you want me to do?" Sima Yi replied.
"The only thing I ask you to do is to go to bed and have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, we will leave here, and we will also leave China and embark on a new journey." Gao Fei said.
"But I can't sleep..."
"Then count the sheep. Start counting slowly from the beginning. Go ahead. General Xu and I have important matters to discuss."
"No, then I'm leaving."
After Sima Yi left, Xu Huang asked: "Your Majesty, whose child is this?"
"The second son of the Sima Fang family and the younger brother of Sima Lang."
"I dare to ask, does your Majesty have any purpose in taking Sima Yi to Qin?"
"Well, if jade is not polished, it will not become a weapon. Sima Yi is a beautiful piece of jade, but it is a pity that he has too much aura of being a descendant of a noble family and has not shed his immaturity. Ma Chao became a general at the age of fifteen. He bravely defeated the three armies and led an army of 200,000 to fight for the Central Plains. Now,
Sima Yi is already eleven years old, and it is time for him to get some exercise. If he can become a national weapon, the future of Huaxia will be limitless."
After Xu Huang heard this, he felt that Gao Fei valued Sima Yi very much, so he asked: "Why do you have to go to Qin? Isn't it possible at home? Our army is full of powerful generals and there are countless famous ministers and good generals. Wouldn't it be better at home?
?”
"Without pressure, there is no motivation. The country is becoming more and more stable. What he sees is the peaceful side. He has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. In the past few years in Juxian Hall, he has read almost all the books, but what he lacks is
It is the understanding of all aspects of life. He is different from us. We were born in troubled times, but he has never suffered hardships. Without experiencing hardships, he would not have the will to be superior to others. Can you understand my good intentions?
"
Xu Huang nodded, but also frowned. He vaguely felt that Gao Fei would do something incredible, and asked tentatively: "I dare to ask again, could it be that your Majesty wants to throw Sima Yi away in Qin?
Let him fend for himself? And take the opportunity to inquire about some of Qin’s secrets?”
Gao Fei smiled and didn't answer, only said: "I'm tired, I'm going to rest first."
After saying that, Gao Fei walked out of the hall.
Xu Huang stood alone in the hall, racking his brains but couldn't figure out what Gao Fei was going to do. He couldn't even guess what Gao Fei was thinking. He simply stopped guessing. After all, he was not good at guessing people's thoughts.
Just let everything take its course.
the next day.
The sky was dimming, and Gao Fei stood on the edge of a basin of water, reflecting in the water, looking at his bald head, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three knocks on the door sounded, and Sima Yi's words also sounded outside the door: "Master, are you up?"
"Come in."
Sima Yi pushed open the door and was dumbfounded as soon as he entered. What he saw was a big bald head with a shiny head. On the edge of the basin, there were a pile of shaved hair and a pile of white hair.
"Master...Master...what are you doing?" Sima Yi asked in surprise.
"This is called the art of disguise. I have to dress up." Gao Fei said, reflecting on the reflection in the basin, he put the white-haired hood he had prepared on his head. His white hair was fluffy.
The long hair is draped over his shoulders.
As soon as he turned his head, Gao Fei said to Sima Yi: "Do you still recognize me?"
Sima Yi was startled. What he saw was an old man with gray hair and wrinkles. He was obviously not the same person as the wise and powerful founding emperor of China. He looked at Gao Fei in surprise.
He couldn't close his mouth and actually stayed there.
"Why are you so dazed? Do you still recognize me?"
"I...I can't recognize it...Master now looks like a man of seventy or eighty years of age..."
Gao Fei stood up, pinched his throat, put his long white beard on his chin, arched his body, coughed a few times, and said slowly: "My surname is Tang, my given name is Liang, and my courtesy name is Yi Ming."
Sima Yi couldn't help but admire Gao Fei. His physical appearance, and even his hoarse voice sounded like a man of seventy or eighty years of age. There was no hint of Gao Fei's aura at all.
"Master, my surname is Ma, my name is Ma Yi, and I am your apprentice. Do you think I need to dress up too?" Sima Yi found the disguise very interesting and became interested.
"You are a child, what are you disguised as? No one knows you? Since even you can't recognize me, others must be even less able to recognize me. Let's go to Fenglingdu and enter the Qin Kingdom from there.
Within the territory." Gao Fei said, then took out the crutches he had prepared, continued to bend down, hung up his baggage, took Sima Yi's hand and walked out.
Just two steps outside the door, Gao Fei and Sima Yi bumped into Xu Huang. Xu Huang, covered in heavy armor, strode towards them.
Under the corridor, Xu Huang saw Sima Yi and a gray-haired old man walking together. He glanced at the gray-haired old man, but without arousing his suspicion, he asked: "Sima Zhongda, where is your majesty?"
Sima Yi chuckled and said: "Far away in the horizon, but close in front of you."
Xu Huang was startled for a moment, looked at Gao Fei again, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
Gao Fei stood up straight and said in his original voice: "Hahaha... Gongming doesn't recognize me anymore, so there won't be any danger when I go to Qin."
"Your Majesty... I was short-sighted and failed to recognize your Majesty. Please forgive me!"
"It doesn't matter. You prepare the carriage and take me to Fenglingdu."
