After Gao Hong left the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion and sighed, he heard a person behind him say: "The imperial generals were lost ten years ago. Now it is a pity that the heroes of Kaiping Guards killed the enemy for the country."
Gao Hong was shocked and looked back. It turned out to be his close friend Fan Kang, the powerless official of Xuanfu Town. Gao Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was him and said complainingly: "You can't make any sound when you walk."
, like a ghost.”
Fan Kang ignored his complaint and said: "There is nothing going on in the Jiedushi Mansion today. I originally wanted to go back early, but I never wanted to see you sighing here. That's why I spoke out."
"You said an admiral died ten years ago. What do you mean? Tell me clearly," Gao Hong suddenly asked.
Fan Kang glanced at him and said, "Do you really not know, or do you not want to know?"
Gao Hong was silent after hearing what he said, and Fan Kang said to him: "You still have time to retreat from the rapids. Wang Tao has become dull and willful, and has caused trouble. If you don't leave, you will be implicated."
Gao Hong knew that Fan Kang's words made sense, but he remained silent and did not answer Fan Kang.
Fan Kang shook his head and said to him: "If you are foolishly loyal to him, I'm afraid he will no longer have any affection for you."
Gao Hong looked up at the blue sky and said to Fan Kang: "I was originally a poor commoner. I was promoted by the Jiedu Envoy between me and Wei Mo. I asked for advice on military and state affairs. I obeyed his advice and was kind to me. Now if I leave him, the world
What do people think of me?"
Fan Kang took a deep look at him, and then said to him: "The master we are waiting for has appeared. If you don't leave, I'm afraid we will be enemies if we meet again."
Gao Hong was very surprised when he heard what he said. He knew that Fan Kang had great ambitions, good plans, and a wit that was rare in the world. The reason why he had been serving as a classics officer to guard books was just to wait for the opportunity and wait for the Ming Dynasty. Now I heard that he
The Ming Lord who was waiting for you has already appeared, how can this not surprise him? It is really unexpected that someone like Fan Kang, who is so arrogant and arrogant, can surrender to others.
Fan Kang looked at Gao Hong's surprised expression and smiled slightly at him, "It's not the time yet. It will take some time before we can be sure."
Gao Hong thought about it together, and then he understood who the master he was talking about was. If it was really him, then the two of them might really be enemies in the future. Gao Hong said to Fan Kang unconfidently: "Are you sure he can still survive?"
Can you come back?"
Fan Kang had an expressionless face and said coldly: "If he comes back, he will be the Ming Lord, and he will have great luck. If he cannot come back, he is not good enough. There is no harm in abandoning him."
After Gao Hong heard Han Kang's words, he couldn't help but shudder. Only then did he understand Fan Kang's absolute rationality, which was beyond his reach.
Gao Hong wanted to know Fan Kang's judgment on whether the man could come back, so he couldn't help but ask Fan Kang: "Do you think he can come back?"
Fan Kang smiled slightly and said: "Even if he is the Ming Lord I think, how can he not come back?"
He also knew that Fan Kang was ten times more intelligent than him, and he could not match him no matter what. Since he thought that man could come back, he would surely come back. Thinking about what would happen to Wang Tao, the Jiedushi Commander, he couldn't help but shudder.
.
Gao Hong suddenly fell to his knees on the ground. Fan Kang was shocked by his performance and rushed to help him. But Gao Hong knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
Fan Kang said to him helplessly: "What do you have to say? I can only try my best to help you. Whether it succeeds or not is not something I can agree to." It seemed that Fan Kang already knew what Gao Hong meant.
When Gao Hong heard Fan Kang's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Everyone with happy faces begged him, "Master Wang, the Jiedu Envoy, is just old and fatuous, greedy for life and afraid of death. When the time comes, please be merciful to Brother Fan and spare his life."
Fan Kang looked at him and said: "If it is something else, I will promise you. I can't make the decision in this matter. In the end, it depends on the person's intention. I can only say that I will try my best to intercede for you. But it is best
As a result, Wang Tao just resigned from office and returned to his hometown."
When Gao Hong heard Fan Kang's words, he knelt down happily on the ground, raised his hands to him repeatedly, and said, "Since I can save his wealth and life, I feel relieved."
At this time, Fan Kang wanted to persuade him again, so he said to him: "It is true that Wang Tao is fatuous, but he is not old. Now he is just afraid of death because he has had too many peaceful days. If you are in front of him, I am afraid that he will die in the future."
There will be no future. Why must we both die together?"
Gao Hong knelt on the ground and looked at Fan Kang and said to him: "You didn't say that because you wanted to regret it, right?"
Seeing his look, Fan Kang knew that he had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him. He went forward to help him again, and Gao Hong followed the trend this time.
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter. Gao Hong pulled Fan Kang and said, "I owe you a favor today. Go to Zuixianglou and I'll treat you today."
Fan Kang looked at him disdainfully and said, "You are Jiedushi's confidant and have a rich income. Unlike me, who is just a bookmaker who reads books, I naturally want you to treat me."
The two of them walked side by side towards the restaurant in the city.
Besides, Liu Yu was in the Jiedushi Mansion, waiting for news of the dispatch of troops. But late at night, all the officials in the Jiedushi Mansion had dispersed, and no one came to inform him. He walked around the house anxiously, unable to wait any longer.
, he walked out of the room. He came to the Jiedushi Envoy's lobby and said to the sergeant guarding the hall: "Brother, I am the person from Kaiping Guard who came to report the military situation. What was the final result of the military meeting just held by the Jiedushi Envoy?
?”
The sergeant looked at him sympathetically, and then said: "I know you are from Kaipingwei, so don't think about going back to Kaidingwei. Just find a place and live a good life."
As soon as Liu Yu heard this, he knew something was wrong and hurriedly said to the sergeant: "Brother, please tell me if you have any news. In fact, he is just an ordinary soldier, but he also knows Enyi. My uncle is opening a fixed guard."
How can I escape from the battlefield when I fight to the death for my country? No matter if it is good news or bad news, I will take the news back to Pingwei where I will live and die with our uncle."
The sergeant admired Liu Yu's loyalty and told him, "Master Jiedushi has decided to shrink his troops and defend Xuanfu Town with all his strength, leaving Pingwei alone."
When Liu Yu heard the news, he was like a thunderbolt. He grabbed the sergeant in front of him and asked in disbelief: "Did Jiedushi really abandon the land that was opened to thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of people?"
When the sergeant saw that it was him, he felt as if the rabbit had died and the fox had died. He was afraid that he would be abandoned by the Jiedushi envoy one day, so he did not accuse him of being unreasonable, but said to him: "It's not just Kaipingwei, there are several people outside Xuanfu Town."
He also abandoned the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people." At this point, thinking about his relatives and friends outside Xuanfu Town, he couldn't help but feel hatred for Wang Tao.
When Liu Yu heard the sergeant's answer, he couldn't help but stand there blankly. After a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth. He turned around and went straight to the stable, where he chose a good horse. Regardless of the groom's obstruction, he prepared himself.
Saddle stirrup rode directly out of the Jiedushi Mansion, then out of Xuanfu Town, heading for Kaipingwei.
When Jiedushi Wang Tao heard his servant's report, he remained silent for a long time before his servant said, "Let him go."
Liu Yu left Xuanfu Town and rode fast all the way. Without eating or drinking, he hurried on his horse. At ten minutes after midnight on the second day, he rushed back to Kaipingwei. As soon as he entered the vicinity of Kaipingwei, there were countless Tatar soldiers.
Patrolling everywhere blocked all traffic arteries. Liu Yu had no choice but to abandon his horse and walk into the mountains to find a road. He hoped to bypass the Tatar soldiers and return to Kaipingwei to report the news to Jia Ke.
