Zhou Cang saw that he couldn't help Gao Yi and Qin Tuo, and expected that since Gao Yi came in person, there would inevitably be Nanyang's men and horses coming behind, so he didn't dare to slack off anymore, so he ordered his subordinates to surround Gao Yi and Qin Tuo, but he retreated, led the rest of the men and horses, drove the carriage that transported the money, and drove away.

Qin flipped over, he was furious, shouted "Hugh go" in his mouth, carried the spear in his hand, stabbed left and right, surrounded the enemy soldiers and fell silently, at this time only heard a shout behind him, the sky collapsed, Gao Yi who was desperately rushing to kill raised his eyes, it turned out that Dian Wei took the hundreds of recruits to kill, these recruits did not have any training, and even the action of wielding weapons was a little ridiculous, fortunately, Dian Wei killed flesh and blood like ghosts in front of him, and only then did the blood of these recruits also drive out.

"Kill!"

The Yellow Turban Army is afraid, they are just some bandits and robbers, where have they ever seen a killing god like Dian Wei? The appearance of Gao Yi just now has already caused them heavy losses, and now the appearance of Dian Wei has broken their last psychological defense line, and now that Zhou Cang has also left this place, everyone naturally has no intention of fighting, and thousands of people were defeated in a short time under the battle of Dian Wei and Gao Yi Qin.

Dian Wei rushed to Gao Yi's side, dismounted and bowed: "Dian Wei is late, please forgive the lord!" ”

Gao Yi was also bloodied at this time, panting and helping Dian Wei up: "What is the crime of Brother Dian Wei?" It's because my horse's foot strength is too fast, and I'm guilty if I'm guilty, and I will definitely pick a horse with good foot strength for Brother Dian Wei another day! ”

Dian Wei smiled honestly: "The lord really said to Dian Wei's heart!" ”

At this time, a few soldiers had already come to bandage Qin Fan's wounds, Qin Fu bared his teeth and said anxiously to Gao Yi: "Lord, the baggage cart was taken away by that Zhou Cang, and the last general is willing to go and recover it!" ”

Gao Yi shook his head: "No need, there is nothing in those cars!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Fan and Dian Wei were taken aback: "What does the lord mean by this?" ”

Gao Yiku: "With so much money, how could the imperial court blatantly send it, isn't this clearly telling the bandits along the way to rob it?" So as soon as I heard that Brother Qin was under siege because of this incident, I immediately came to the rescue, it was because I thought of this that I couldn't let Brother Qin lose his life in vain because of this fake baggage car, but I didn't expect that this thief would be Zhou Cang, who had been in Guangzong City's diplomatic hands! ”

Qin was stunned for a long time before muttering to himself: "So, our dozens of brothers who died died all died in vain? ”

Gao Yi didn't speak, and said to the recruits: "Collect these corpses and go back to Wancheng!" ”

Indeed, as Gao Yi expected, in order to prevent the appropriation from being plundered by bandits, the imperial court claimed that the silver money transported was fake on the official road, Zhou Cang returned to the base in Runan, Jian Shuo had already led people to wait there with a smile, and saw Zhou Cang and his party with a disgraced face, they must have experienced a vicious battle, but fortunately, they snatched the silver car, but the two people who were full of joy were surprised to see that it was full of stones!

"General Zhou Cang, this is your mistake, do you want to monopolize the three million dollars?" Jian Shuo looked at Zhou Cang and measured the way.

Zhou Cang was puzzled and muttered: "How is this possible, this car is those silver cars, could it be that Gao Yi dropped his bag?" No wonder he didn't send troops to chase after him, it turned out that he already knew about it! ”

Jian Shuo raised his head and laughed wildly: "Is General Zhou Cang playing with us all as children?" Even your leader Zhang Yan obediently sent us a monthly example, and you are a nameless junior who is not even a Qu Shuai to play this kind of trick with us? Isn't that too naïve? That Gao Yi didn't even know about the amount allocated by the imperial court, so would he have a chance to drop the bag? ”

"What do you mean, father-in-law? I Zhou Cang acted above board, what I did was what I did, and what I didn't do was what I didn't do! You don't slander good people here! Zhou Cang was furious, pulled out his knife, and looked at the top of the box, the stones inside the box shattered in response, and the debris flew everywhere.

"Good guys? Hehe, it's really funny, General Zhou Cang has been reduced to being a bandit, what kind of good person will he be? Good? Will we do business with good people? Jian Shuo looked at Zhou Cang and laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Zhou Cang seemed to suddenly think of something: "Don't say anything else, my father-in-law came from the capital, and this baggage also came out of the capital, this thing should be a stone or a silver coin, my father-in-law should know better than me, now the facts are obvious, whether it is us or my father-in-law, we have been calculated by others, my father-in-law still thinks about it, who else is involved in this matter!" ”

Jian Shuo heard Zhou Cang's words, and his smile suddenly stopped: "Could it be-"

Zhou Cang looked at Jian Shuo, frowned suddenly, and asked, "What did my father-in-law think of?" ”

Jian Shuo looked left and right, leaned closer to Zhou Cang, lowered his voice, and said two words.

At this time, not far behind Jian Shuo and Zhou Cang, two people were whispering.

"Hey, Liao Hua, do you understand what they're talking about?"

"I don't understand, but it seems to be very powerful, but what does it have to do with us?"

"Of course it has a relationship, Marshal Zhou Cang personally dispatched this time, it seems that he is going to rob a group of money from the imperial court, there are millions, but now he is pulling back all stones, and he originally thought that he could share some money and use it, which is really disappointing!"

These two people are the two Yellow Turban ambush soldiers Liao Hua and Du Yuan that Gao Yi encountered in Guangzong that day, they came to Runan and threw themselves under the command of Liu Pi, the local commander of the canal, and then this Zhou Cang also came to Runan, saying that he was ordered by Zhang Jiao to unite the Yellow Turban forces in the entire Yuzhou, so Liu Bi, Gong Du, and He Yi all came to serve this Zhou Cang, and it was also strong for a while.

However, the momentum is growing and growing, a very real problem is that there is not enough food to eat, to be precise, there is no food to eat, Liao Hua and Du Yuan are also because they can't grab food, so for so long, they can only be soldiers guarding the village, and they don't even have the qualifications to go out to fight.

"There's no way to go on like this!" Du Yuan sighed, "I found out why our two brothers are so pitiful, why can't we eat enough no matter where we go?" It's sad to think about! ”

Liao Hua didn't have the slightest intention of complaining: "How can it be considered pitiful?" How many of our brothers have lost their lives in vain, but we are still alive, this is already a great luck, Brother Du, be happy, such days will not go on forever! ”

Du Yuan suddenly said on a whim: "Why don't we go to that Gao Yi, most of his subordinates are brothers of the Yellow Turban, and a few of them also sent me letters, saying that although it is hard to follow this Gao Yi, Gao Yi eats and sleeps with them, eats the same, wears the same and lives the same, I believe that such a person will become very powerful in the future, doesn't it mean that if you eat hard, you will become a master?" It's like this Zhou Cang, if there are any good things, they all swallow them privately, and the brothers don't even have to drink the soup! ”

Liao Hua persuaded him in a low voice: "Be quiet, here are all the people from Zhoucang, if it is heard, our heads will move immediately, and we don't have to worry about eating and drinking spicy food in the future!" ”

"What are you talking about?" Suddenly hearing a loud shout, when Liao Hua raised his eyes, Zhou Cang stood in front of them at some point, staring at Liao Hua and Du Yuan with a pair of sharp eyes.

Liao Hua was not polite, his eyes were also full of awe-inspiring meaning, and he said to Zhou Cang: "I didn't say anything!" ”

"Didn't say anything?" Zhou Cang looked Liao Hua up and down, and snorted coldly in his mouth, "I haven't paid attention to you before, this kid, you look quite handsome!" ”

Liao Hua replied lightly: "The handsome nobles are forgetful, and the villain has been transferred to the handsome personal barracks for several days!" ”

Zhou Cang wanted to say something, but Du Yuan had already spoken first: "Dashuai, my Liao Hua brother is a straight man, in fact, he has long admired Dashuai's extraordinary bravery, and he has always wanted to be your personal soldier, right, Liao Hua!" ”

Du Yuan squeezed his eyebrows at Liao Hua as he spoke, and motioned for Liao Hua to say a few words flattering to Zhou Cang, but Liao Hua was not moved at all.

Zhou Cang smiled, looked directly at Liao Hua and said, "What he said is true?" ”

Liao Hua is neither humble nor arrogant: "Right and wrong are determined freely, the villain only hears about the person but does not see it, and does not dare to make a judgment!" ”

Du Yuan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but he had to say good things for him in front of Zhou Cang: "Da Shuai doesn't know, Liao Hua is also from a scholarly family, but he is in the middle of the family, so he came to be a thief, oh no, he is to be this reckless hero, if Da Shuai doesn't believe it, you can ask him, he still has a table!" His words are, his words are—"

"Yuan Jian!" Liao Hua said to Zhou Cang, and his tone was not slow.

"Oh?" Zhou Cang circled around Liao Hua, and said in a strange tone, "Among my tens of thousands of Yellow Turban brothers, none of them have a table, and I can't imagine that there is a poor noble son hidden!" ”

Zhou Cang deliberately used the word "hidden", which seemed to mean something, but Liao Hua immediately replied: "The handsome man is serious, there must be not only a villain who has a table word, these tens of thousands of brothers, there must be a considerable part of them are generally from the villain's middle class, there is a table word, in fact, it is not a rare thing, the villain heard that Nanyang is too guarded by Gao Yi, there is no table word!" ”

When Gao Yi was mentioned, he naturally poked Zhou Cang's sadness again, he turned around and walked around, and said to Jian Shuo: "I am now dead and injured nearly a thousand subordinates, and I was deceived by that Gao Yi so much that I only pulled dozens of boxes of stones back!" If you don't take revenge, Liu Bi, Gong Du, and He Yi still don't laugh me to death? Even if it wasn't Gao Yi's bag as his father-in-law said, I'm afraid he would have guessed that it wasn't money! ”

Jian Shuo smiled on the side: "The general finally reacted, if you don't get provoked by this little soldier of yours, I'm afraid I'm still in the dark, right?" ”

Zhou Cang's face was blue and white for a while, he knew that Jian Shuo was a veteran who was used to playing with conspiracy and tricks, and he was afraid that he had already seen through this little trick, so he couldn't help but ask Jian Shuo: "My father-in-law is a powerful person, so what should I do next, please let my father-in-law make it clear!" ”

Jian Shuo also walked in front of Liao Hua at this time, with a sly look flashing in his eyes: "What a handsome person, even more handsome than when I was young, if that Gao Yi saw such a handsome young man, it might not be as simple as letting him be a soldier, right?" ”

Liao Hua is such a smart person, he asked Jian Shuo rhetorically: "Does my father-in-law want the villain to go to Gao Yi to be a fine worker?" ”

Zhou Cang also suddenly came to his senses: "Yes, there is a fine work in Gao Yi's place, and I will be clear about Gao Yi's every move, and I won't be bumping around like a headless fly like this time!" ”

"This ......" Liao Hua was a little embarrassed, he looked at Du Yuan, his eyes were a little helpless, he did have the intention to vote for Gao Yi, but he didn't expect that he would be asked to be a meticulous work.

"But, what if this handsome man really takes root with Gao Yi?" Jian Shuo said with a deliberate move, glancing at Zhou Cang, "According to what we know about Gao Yi, he is a very attractive person, and many assassins sent to assassinate him can't bear to do it, General Zhou Cang can't help but worry about this!" ”

Liao Hua knew that this Jian Shuo was a bad stomach, and when he heard that Jian Shuo didn't know what to do, he simply refused: "What my father-in-law said is very true, and the villain is also very unconfident in himself, so it's better not to go this time, anyway, the father-in-law and the handsome man also have a lot of fine work in Nanyang, there are many villains, and there are many villains!" ”

"No, no, no!" Jian Shuo said with a smile, "How can those fine works be compared to Little Brother Liao?" What Little Brother Liao has to do is not a simple work, it is to become Gao Yi's henchman! ”

Zhou Cang was taken aback: "Confidant general? ”

Jian Shuo nodded: "Yes, only when you become a confidant general, can you be trusted by Gao Yi, in order to get more accurate information, Gao Yi is different from other people, he likes to call his brother and brother, up to those heroes, down to the soldiers under his command, all of them, I can't hate to be brothers all over the world, like Ding Yuan's military general Zhang Liao, Wang Fen's military general Zhang He, are his righteous brothers, this is his strength, but also his fatal flaw, a person can doubt his enemies, but he will not doubt his brothers, just imagineIn this way, this time Qin Fu can stab Gao Yi in the back, maybe the entire Nanyang has been in chaos because of the leaderless dragons, and General Zhou Cang can also take the opportunity to annex Nanyang County! ”

Zhou Cang was overjoyed when he heard this. said again and again: "My father-in-law said it so reasonably, Zhou Cang is really convinced!" ”

"So as long as Brother Liao can do the same, then what else does General Zhou Cang have to worry about?" Jian Shuo smiled slightly, and threw the problem to Liao Hua again.

Zhou Cang and Liao Hua scolded this Jian Shuo tens of thousands of times in their hearts, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Kun had warned Zhou Cang to act cautiously and make good use of the connections of the Ten Standing Servants before coming to Runan, Zhou Cang really wanted to cut Jian Shuo's eunuch on the spot now.

Although Liao Hua understood, he was very disdainful of this kind of behavior of using people's feelings to deceive people to obtain information, and he said to Jian Shuo: "My father-in-law is really powerful, but my father-in-law also said that I am afraid that Gao Yi will educate the villain into his person, and the villain does not have the confidence to remain unbewitched by it, so please ask the father-in-law and the marshal to invite Gao Ming in this matter!" ”

"If there is no pressure, how can there be motivation?" Jian Shuo Niangli smiled girlily, and said suddenly, "As long as the people closest to Little Brother Liao are locked up as a threat, won't it be done?" ”

Saying that, Jian Shuo said to himself: "So, who is this person? ”

Liao Hua shook his head: "My parents died early, and the villain has no one close to him, which really disappoints my father-in-law!" ”

Jian Shuo walked straight to Du Yuan's side and stretched out his hand: "I also said just now, brotherhood is the most valuable, and it is him!" ”

When Du Yuan heard this, he was startled: "I can't help it, I'm me, I'm him, he's him!" ”

Zhou Cang said at this time: "I, I, I, him, him, what?" That's it, lock me up! ”

A few people came from the left and right, grabbed Du Yuan from left to right, and tied him up with a rope, Liao Hua watched his good brother being treated so cruelly, and the anger in his heart had already risen, and he hated to look at Zhou Cang and Jian Shuo, and hated to eat the two in front of him before he stopped.

"Yes, yes, that's the kind of look!" Jian Shuo looked at the angry Liao Hua proudly, and his mood became very good, "But always remember that your brother's life is pinched in your hands, here I wish the little brother Liao a success!" ”

Liao Hua gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, the villain will definitely live up to his trust, but if Du Yuan has the slightest mistake, I, Liao Huake, will be the first to take refuge in Gao Yi!" ”

"That's nature, go and stay at will!" Zhou Cang said at this time, "Without further ado, let's leave tonight!" ”

At night, Liao Hua packed his bags, just left the cottage, but was stopped by a person, and after seeing his appearance clearly, he exclaimed: "It's you!" ”

The man smiled and took out a letter from his body: "Naturally, it's me, Dashuai asked me to hand you a letter, saying that you can rest assured!" The play has to be realistic to deceive people, isn't it? ”

At this time, in Wancheng, the real imperial court appropriation has stopped in the county guard mansion in the city, Gao Yi ordered Qin Fu and Dian Wei to rest first, just arrived at the door of the county guard's mansion, Zhao Yun was already waiting at the door, seeing Gao Yi coming, there was a surprise on his face: "Brother, Zilong lived up to your expectations and successfully transported three million silver coins into Wancheng!" ”

"It's hard work, and there are a lot of difficulties along the way, right?" Gao Yi smiled and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, it turned out that this time Zhao Yun did not go with Wen Chou to pacify other counties in Nanyang, but ordered Luoyue to blempty under the banner of Zhao Yun, but ordered Zhao Yun to go to Luoyang from a rugged road northwest of Wancheng to receive the silver money this time. Also because of the rugged road, Zhao Yun has not arrived until now.

"Brother, the money has been settled, but there is still someone who wants to see you!"

Gao Yi smiled: "I know, it must be Tian Feng!" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head: "It's not Lord Shi, but a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person!" ”

Gao Yi was surprised, but then relieved, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the court, but there is no place for it, this person must be another famous hero in the world.

It's just that Gao Yi didn't expect that this person would be today's son - Liu Hong!

"Gao Yi has seen His Majesty, but I don't know that His Majesty is coming to Nanyang in person, it is really a capital crime!" As soon as he entered the county guard's mansion, Gao Yi saw Liu Hong who was drinking tea in the house, and saw that this Liu Hong looked like he was only about thirty, but he had indescribable dignity and majesty all over his body, and immediately thought of Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that he didn't expect that this Liu Hong still likes to pay private visits to Weifu, and he also came to Nanyang for private visits, he has fantasized about meeting this notorious emperor countless times, and even thought that he would work hard to become a senior official of Jingzhou in the future, and he could have the qualifications to enter Beijing, and he would see this Liu Hong, but he never thought that it would be Liu Hong who would come to see him!

Gao Yi at this moment can no longer be described as flattered.

"Hahaha, Gao Taishou please, I've heard your name a long time ago, so I didn't come uninvited, I haven't talked to anyone about this trip, including the Ten Constant Servants, I just want to see what this real world is like!" Liu Hong saw Gao Yi coming in, got up with a smile and helped Gao Yi up, he didn't call himself me, obviously as he said, he really hid from everyone.

Gao Yi suddenly remembered at this time, Tian Feng mentioned in the letter that the emperor was going to Jizhou to inspect the people's situation, why did people appear here now?

"In this case, Gao Yi is not welcome, but Gao Yi remembers, you said that you were going to Jizhou, why did you come to my newly soaked Wancheng?"

Liu Hong smiled slightly: "If you don't do this, how do you know what small actions some people will do?" ”

Gao Yi couldn't help but be confused: "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Hong said: "I came out this time, it is indeed claimed that I want to go to Jizhou, calculate the time, the car is now almost to Yecheng, I have previously received reliable news, it is said that Jizhou Assassin Wang Fen deeply hated the imperial court for deposing the official position and military power of Huangfu Song, and complained about it, so he made a statement to the imperial court, claiming that now Guangzong is full of grievances, and the emperor can not be appeased in person, so I will fulfill Wang Fen's wish, so I first released the news that I want to inspect Jizhou, if this Wang Fen really wants to be unfavorable to me, he will definitely not be idle!" ”

When Gao Yi heard this, he chuckled in his heart, Liu Hong, the emperor, is really not simple, this trick is really beautiful, he remembers that there is indeed such a thing in the history books, this unsuccessful coup d'état, Wang Fen and Xu You have participated, but now it comes out of Liu Hong's mouth, although it has not happened yet, Gao Yi has already expected the ending, he knows that Wang Fen, the dignified assassin of Jizhou, is about to be played.

"The person who delivered this news to you should be the captain of the military academy, Cao Cao, right?" The corners of Gao Yi's mouth flushed with a smile and asked Liu Hong.

Liu Hong was surprised: "How did you know about this?" ”

Gao Yi pretended to be deep and said: "Guess! ”
