Guangzong's protracted war finally came to an end, although in the end Ye 17 took away 20,000 horses, but before and after he also killed more than 30,000 people, surrendered more than 20,000 people, captured more than 20,000 people, and another 50,000 old and weak women and children swore not to surrender, were driven to the edge of the Zhanghe River by the official army, and died in the water, the water of the entire Zhanghe River was cut off, and it did not flow for three days, coinciding with heavy rain for several days,** After a series of natural disasters, floods raged throughout Guangzong County, and the pungent smell of corpses could be smelled everywhere, and Huangfu Song sent soldiers to go down the river to fish out more than 30,000 corpses, so that the Zhanghe River could be reopened.

In order to show the merits of this battle, Huangfu Song ordered the soldiers to pile these more than 30,000 corpses on both sides of the road together with the corpses of more than 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers who had been killed before, and cover the soil to form a pyramid-shaped mound, which is called "Jingguan", which is actually a dead man's pit, which is used to show military prestige and deter the enemy.

The imperial court was very pleased to learn of the victory of Guangzong, the general He Jin personally went to the table, and the emperor Liu Hong personally issued an edict to canonize Huangfu Song as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the soldiers under the command of Jizhou Mu were promoted to one level, and Gao Yi performed well, and was promoted to three levels in a row, and was promoted to the captain of the light car.

However, Gao Yi was not able to personally receive the seal of this light car captain, he was poisoned too deeply, almost lost his life, after collecting troops back to the city, he couldn't afford to be ill, Huangfu Song invited the best doctor to diagnose and treat Gao Yi, it took half a month of hard work, it was easy to rescue, the doctor specially instructed that he needed to recuperate for a few months in the future, and he could not go to the battlefield again, otherwise he would really die, Huangfu Song could not see this, so he had to make the generals recuperate in Guangzong City, Huangfu Song himself and Julu Taishou Guo Dian went to Xia Quyang to suppress Zhang Bao.

On this day, Gao Yi woke up groggily, only to feel that his limbs were sore, his skeleton seemed to be about to be scattered, his eyelids seemed to weigh 10,000 catties, he spent a lot of effort, and he didn't open it, and when he was upset, he suddenly felt that his face was covered with a hand as warm as jade, and then there was Luoyue's choked voice with surprise: "Horse thief, you're awake!"

Gao Yi's heart moved, and for some reason, he opened his eyes all of a sudden, and saw the familiar jade man in his eyes, who was caressing Gao Yi's face with one hand and holding Gao Yi's palm tightly with the other. Wet the brocade dress Luo shirt on his body with a large tear stain on his chest, the whole person is really like Lin Daiyu written in the Dream of Red Mansions, although Gao Yi has never seen what Lin Daiyu looks like, but the tearful beauty of Luoyue is standing in front of his Gao Yi alive, Gao Yi has also made a lot of girlfriends before crossing, some are sincere, some are hypocritical, some are vows, and some are just playing, but none of them have shed tears for Gao Yi, which is also Gao Yi's always cynical appearance, in fact, there are very few women who can really enter his heart。

And now, the falling moon, who has always been noble and cold, actually shed tears for him Gao Yi, although this is not the first time, and it is destined not to be the last, but this time, Gao Yi felt that something was melted in the depths of his heart, he looked at the falling moon with tears hanging on both sides of the cheeks, and suddenly there was a trace of fear, to some extent, the falling moon broke through the invisible psychological defense line in his heart, Gao Yi had no time to stop the next defense, and all the facilities had collapsed.

"Sister Yue'er, I'm not used to you like this!" Gao Yi sat up normally, looked at Luoyue strangely, and suddenly said such a thing, as if he felt a little deliberate, and added, "If your sister Rui'er is so sentimental and wiping her tears and crying nose, I still feel more comfortable, but Sister Yue'er, you might as well cry and kill me with a sword!"

Luoyue snorted out laughing, and then quickly froze her face again: "Okay, you horse thief, you deserve to sleep to death, and never wake up!"

"No need!" Luo Yue covered his face, didn't look at the frustration, and walked straight outside, hating as he went, "Where can Shibo afford to mess with this guy? I'd rather talk to Fuyun than play the piano against a piece of wood here!"

"Hehehe, is it wood, or a rotten wood that cannot be carved!" As he spoke, Gao Yi had already put on his clothes and got out of bed, came to the door, looked at the shadow of Luoyue and left angrily, and looked at Fu Zhu and the others with a self-deprecating smile, "Look at me, a fool with an elm head, I made Sister Yue'er angry again!"

Zhao Yun rushed in first, held Gao Yi to look up and down, and couldn't help laughing: "I know, brother Jiren Tianxiang, how can something happen?"

Gao Yi stretched out a punch, smashed it on Zhao Yun's shoulder, and laughed loudly: "The ghost cha also claimed half my life, but it's a pity that I am so good that I beat them to pieces, and they came back to the world in a big way!"

Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter.

Gao Yi looked at Pei Yuanshao behind Qin Tuo, thought for a while and asked: "This is General Pei Yuanshao, if it wasn't for the general's response to me that day, I estimate that my arms, legs and head would have moved, and I would like to thank the general for saving me!"

Pei Yuanshao was flattered: "What is the lord talking about, it should be Pei Mou who thanked the lord for the grace of recreation, if there was no lord who fought to the death that day, thousands of Pei's brothers would have to move their heads!"

"Lord?" Pei Yuanshao's title surprised Gao Yi.

Fu Zhu explained to Gao Yi and said: "General Pei already knows about our affairs, he has now led his 5,000 men and horses to defect to the lord, plus the 3,000 men and horses that the lord collected before, and the 20,000 horses that were surrendered later, we are now not 3,000 men and horses, but 30,000!"

"Thirty thousand! cough-" Gao Yi was surprised when he heard it, what is the concept of 30,000, Huangfu Song is a general of the chariot cavalry, and the number of people and horses he can mobilize now is only 100,000, and his own direct troops are only 20,000, and now he is depressed and says that there are 30,000 horses, how many people are going to be angry, even Huangfu Song, it is estimated that it will be very unhappy!

"What the hell is going on? Didn't the 20,000 horses that were surrendered later be personally deployed and scattered by the Emperor Fu and incorporated into the generals?

Qin Fan stared at Gao Yi with some incredulity, and then asked dumbly, "Lord really can't remember what happened at that time?"

Gao Yi shook his head blankly: "I don't have any impression, what happened?"

"It seems that the poisoning is too deep, and I really can't remember it for a while!" Fu Zhi smiled slightly, and then said something that startled Gao Yi, " On that day, the lord you led the surviving brothers to find out the bodies of the dead subordinates, and the next was those yellow turban soldiers, whether they were defected or surrendered or captured, tens of thousands of people before and after were surging, to recognize the lord you as the new Taiping Taoist master, claiming that this was also Zhang Jiao's last life, the scene was extremely chaotic, the emperor Fu Gong was going to order the officials and soldiers to kill these tens of thousands of people, the lord then stepped forward, and tried not to kill in vain, the heart of the fear of the cold descending, and the greater disaster, and said that he was willing to temporarily command the 50,000 horses, and would guarantee the head of the item, if there was a mutiny, willing to lead the army, the emperor hesitated again and again, thinking that the 50,000 people were too much, and only agreed to leave 20,000 prisoners behind, and the remaining 20,000 people and horses will be temporarily under the command of the lord!"

Gao Yi was shocked when he heard this, and laughed again and again: "This joke is a bit big, how can it be said as if it is true?" But seeing the serious expressions of Fu Zhi and Zhao Yunqin turning over Pei Yuanshao, he realized that it was the real thing, and sighed suddenly, "Now I am in a big disaster! Where are those people placed, take me to see them quickly, and if you can be dismissed, you will be dismissed, otherwise you will be killed!"

Pei Yuanshao was puzzled: "What does the lord mean by this?

"Now you are like a coward who is afraid of things, right?" Gao Yi turned his head to look at Pei Yuanshao and said, "General Pei doesn't know, officialdom is more tragic than the bloody rain and bloody wind on the battlefield, even if the mentor and the emperor don't say anything, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no villains in the dark, if I can't settle down, how can I talk about making contributions?"

He smiled and said: "As I expected, the lord is not a person without political acumen, thanks to the few of you who are fortunate to have these tens of thousands of horses, the training will definitely dominate the world in time, where can it be so simple? These people have been waiting for a long time in the lord's tent outside the city!"

"Okay!" Gao Yi didn't care that his body was still very weak, he walked out of the house quickly, rode his horse and everyone out of the city, and suddenly saw two human heads hanging on the high pole at the head of the city, with eight big characters written on it: "Anti-thief Zhang Jiao Zhang Liang head"

"Zhang Jiao's head?" Gao Yi was attracted by these eight big characters, and couldn't help but stop his horse and look up, only to see that the head level had been exposed to wind and rain and was no longer the same, but Gao Yi always felt that something was wrong.

"Can you go up and have a look?" Gao Yi politely asked the sergeant on guard.

These sergeants naturally knew Gao Yi's name, and naturally responded to his request: "It turned out to be the captain of the light car, Captain Gao is please!"

Gao Yi looked back at the four people behind him, and then asked Zhao Yundao: "I heard that Zhang Jiao's coffin was captured by Brother Yun himself, but is it true?"

Zhao Yun didn't know why Gao Yi asked like this, but he also answered directly: "Yes, it was the little brother who did it!"

"That's good!" Gao Yi locked his eyes on Pei Yuanshao again, and suddenly said, "Come with me!" After saying that, Gao Yi walked towards the city, Pei Yuanshao didn't know what Gao Yi's intentions were, so he had to follow quickly.

When he arrived at the top of the city, Gao Yi secretly asked Pei Yuanshao: "Now there is no one else, General Pei can boldly tell me, where is Zhang Jiao's people?"

Pei Yuanshao was panicked when he heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said: "This, the head hanging on this high pole is, yes!"

Gao Yi smiled: "Zhang Jiao can hide it from everyone, but he can't hide it from me Gao Yi!" Gao Yi said that Gao Yi pulled the rope violently and lowered the two heads, it was the height of autumn at this time, but the weather was still very hot, I saw that the skin and flesh of the two heads were rotten, maggots were everywhere, and there were almost only white bones left, if it was an ordinary person, it would definitely not be able to distinguish, but Gao Yi grabbed a skull with both hands and let Pei Yuanshao take a closer look," What a trick, Zhang Jiao and his people will be around forty years old next year, but the teeth of this skull are newborn, obviously only about twenty years old, Zhang Liang is his younger brother, how can his teeth be older than Zhang Jiao? General Pei obviously has other intentions for voting for me, if you don't say it at this time, don't blame me for taking you to see the emperor!"

Pei Yuanshao knelt down with a puff: "Lord Mingjian, Pei Mou came to vote, it is indeed sincere, and this is also the meaning of the sect leader!"

"I can't help but be scared!" Gao Yi raised the two heads back to the high pole, washed away the maggots that crawled on his hands with water, and looked at Pei Yuanshao, who was shaking like chaff on the ground, and said leisurely, "Sure enough, as I expected, what did Zhang Jiao think? He actually did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands of his sect members, and he also told me about it!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Pei Yuanshao took out a piece of silk from his arms and solemnly handed it to Gao Yi.

Gao Yi took it, spread it out and hurriedly took a look, it turned out to be a blood book written by Zhang Jiao himself: "The noble person is personally enlightened, the horn is not self-measured, and a million sword soldiers are raised in vain, so that the lives are ruined, and the people are harmed, this sincerity is not what the horn wants, think about it again and again, and are willing to fold their own shares and humerus, in order to authorize the authority in the hands of the nobles, if the nobles are proud in the court, they hope to lure millions of sectarians to achieve great causes, if the nobles are disappointed in the court, the horns are also willing to secretly help the nobles, with their own ability, with the power of the world's sects, to become an immortal hegemon!"

"Hahaha!" Gao Yi couldn't help laughing after reading it, "I didn't expect to be so persistent, and at such a big price, I, Gao Yi, am really a person worth entrusting?"

Pei Yuanshao said respectfully: "The sect leader has a life, Pei doesn't dare to disobey, but the sect leader also asked Pei to tell the lord a word, so that the lord doesn't have to worry about the sect leader using the lord, the lord just let go and do what he wants, the sect leader has decided to retreat to the mountains and forests and no longer ask about the world!"

Gao Yi looked at the two skulls on the high pole floating in the wind, and said in a deep voice: "Great sage and good teacher, I don't know where you are now, but please rest assured, I feel your heart, it is a man, I must do something and not do something, I know what I am pursuing, and I will do my best to create such a new world, and I hope that at that time, you can still be alive and see this day!"

Fu Zhu and Zhao Yunqin waited under the city for a long time, only to see Gao Yi and Pei Yuanshao coming down together, so they stepped forward and asked, "But what happened?"

"There is no change!" Gao Yi laughed loudly, "I have seen Zhang Jiao himself, and I was worried that this was Zhang Jiao's trick, so I went up to confirm it, and sure enough, it is Zhang Jiao's head, so I can rest assured!"

With that, Gao Yi turned over his horse and headed towards the barracks, and the four people behind him also followed together, raising a few clouds of smoke and dust that soared into the sky.

"Ahem!"

And at this moment, on a hidden mountain road in Changshan, Zhou Cang and Guan Hai were carrying the seriously ill Zhang Jiao slowly on a simple stretcher, Zhang Jiao coughed from time to time, Zhang Ning was not wiping the cold sweat on Zhang Jiao's face next to him, and told Zhou Cang and Guan Hai from time to time: "Slow down, don't upside down your father!"

"Yes, miss!" Zhou Cang and Guan Hai slowed down their pace, trying to walk more smoothly.

Suddenly, a figure blocked the way, Zhang Ning was slightly startled, and after a closer look, he saw that it was Chen Kun, so he put his mind at ease, and said in surprise: "Brother Kun, you are finally back!"

Chen Kun hurried to Zhang Ning's side, glanced at Zhang Jiao, who was closing his eyes tightly, worriedly, and sighed: "Is the sect leader still like this?

"Is it Hongfei?" Hearing Chen Kun's voice, his white lips moved, his eyes opened slightly, and his voice was extremely hoarse, "Have you done everything you did?"

"Sect Master, rest assured, General Pei Yuanshao is now Gao Yi's person, Ye Seventeen wanted to swallow our 50,000 elites alone, Gao Yi did not let his conspiracy succeed, after a battle to the death, Ye Seventeen went to Jinyang with 20,000 horses, and Gao Yi naturally absorbed the remaining 20,000 people!"

"That's good, that's all I can do, and then, it's up to him to make his own creation!" Zhang Jiao coughed a few more times and said intermittently.

Zhang Ning looked at Zhang Jiao with concern: "Father, don't talk about this, your body matters!"

"It's okay, I can't die for the time being!" Zhang Jiao struggled to prop himself up and said to Chen Kun, "Hongfei, as you said, this Ye Seventeen is a figure that should not be underestimated, you and Ning Er take the rest of the sect members to join Zhang Yan in the name of the Wandering Army, and you can also share the momentum a little!"

Zhang Ning immediately objected: "Father, I won't leave you, you are so sick!"

Zhang Jiao was anxious, coughed continuously, pointed at Zhang Ning and said in a deep voice: "Although Hongfei is reliable, if you talk about resourcefulness, you should make more efforts to make my peace immortal, which is powerful, Ning'er You should know better than your father!"

Chen Kun immediately knelt on the ground, and replied in a dignified manner: "Sect Master, rest assured, Hongfei will definitely live up to expectations!"

Zhang Ning also knelt down very reluctantly, and there was a cry in his words: "My daughter agrees!"

Only then did Zhang Jiao lie down on the stretcher again, his eyebrows locked, and he was full of melancholy: "It's a pity that the second brother and the third brother, there are still hundreds of thousands of sect beings! If I return to Huangquan, what face will I have to see them?"
