Ma Zongheng's love for Gao Shun can be seen by anyone, but Zhang Liao and Pang De both feel a little weird, and the two of them secretly have a pair of eyes, and they both invariably show suspicion.

On the other side, it was said that Lu Bu returned to the rear army, and the generals immediately met it together. Chen Gong also greeted him with a somewhat strange expression, and looked at Lu Bu with a pair. Lu Bu took the lead and said: "The right time is not right, Boyi is difficult to start, but now it seems that he still has to act according to the plan." ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he also bowed his head and said: "The lord is right, General Gao must not want to act rashly and ruin a big thing." I'll go back first, and I'll wait for news from him. ”

After hearing this, Lü Bu ordered the withdrawal of the army, so his troops withdrew one after another. As for Suiyang City, Guo Jia also ordered the generals to lead troops and horses to meet them, and Ma Zongheng immediately went to the round with Gao Shun and the prisoners of the trapped camp, and then returned to the city.

That night, Ma Zongheng really held a banquet in the city to celebrate Gao Shun's surrender. During the banquet, Ma Zongheng repeatedly persuaded him to drink, so he was unhappy, and he praised Gao Shun for his civil and military affairs. Ma Zongheng's subordinates almost all came, but Zhang Liao took the initiative to ask Ying to impose martial law in the city, and Pang De also went to assist. Ma Zongheng also faintly felt that the two of them didn't seem to like Gao Shun, but they couldn't help but be disappointed, so they didn't force the two to come, and let the two go.

After three rounds of drinking, Ma Zongheng ordered Gao Shun to be the general in the battle, rewarded with a treasure armor and a treasure blade, and rewarded another 300 taels of gold. When they heard it, they all changed color secretly, and some people were even more angry. After all, Gao Shun was the most relied on general under Lu Bu back then, and in the battle with Lu Bu, I don't know how many soldiers and soldiers died under Gao Shun's hands. Although Gao Shun switched to this time, the past grievances were not so easy to resolve. What's more, Gao Shun has not made an inch, but he can be rewarded so much, and everyone is angry.

When Gao Shun heard this, he came out in fear, only saying that he was useless and did not dare to accept it. Ma Zongheng's face immediately turned pale and gave it strongly. Gao Shun still refused. Ma Shi saw it, but he felt a little chilled.

At this time, Guo Jia suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Lord, General Gao is a rare handsome talent in the world, but if he has the heart to make meritorious contributions, he will not be rewarded." He did not dare to accept the punishment for his merits, but it also proved that he had the ambition to make meritorious contributions based on his own ability. Why should the lord frustrate his will? ”

As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, Gao Shun immediately looked at him for a while, and said angrily: "As the military advisor said, Gao only hopes to make meritorious achievements with his hands and share them with the lord, so that he can be rewarded." Otherwise, Gao really deserves it! “

"Good!! Boyi, you are really ambitious!! Hahaha~~!! When we drink another cup together, everyone come~! Ma Zongheng said, and raised his glass happily. Only then did everyone calm down their grievances and raise their glasses one after another. Guo Jia pushed the seat and walked out, and took the wine glass for Gao Shun. Gao Shun took it, and cast a grateful look at Guo Jia, and then everyone raised their glasses and drank together, but they were also happy.

At the same time, on the east gate of Suiyang City, it seemed a little cold. Tonight, the moonlight was sparse and there was a cool breeze, but at this time, Zhang Liao and Pang De were standing on top of the city, watching the movement of Lu Bujun's camp outside the city.

I saw the fire of Lu Bujun's camp swaying, and I could faintly see that the men and horses were retreating, and many baggage frames were also being withdrawn to the rear, and some people had already begun to dismantle the camp tents.

"As expected, this Lu Bu will withdraw the camp at night, there must be a trick!" Zhang Liaoshi's eyes widened slightly, and he shimmered. When Pang De heard this, he also said coldly: "As the military advisor said, if Lu Bu withdraws the camp, he must be deliberately showing weakness, making us think that he has surrendered from Gaoshun, and his army will fight unintentionally and relax its vigilance." But when the time comes, then thunder and make a move! ”

"The only person who can come up with such a profound scheme is probably the 'plotter' Chen Gongtai. Although Lu Bu does not have Gao Shun now, he still has a Chen Gongtai under his command, and he must not be careless. Zhang Liao immediately responded.

Pound De listened, his brows tightened, and he suddenly asked, "Brother Zhang, what do you think of this Gao Shun?" ”

"This man is loyal and righteous, and has the ability to command, as the lord often says, he is a rare handsome talent." Zhang Liao replied without thinking.

"I didn't ask this, but Brother Zhang thinks that this Gao Shun came to vote this time, is it real or fraud?" Pound asked in a condensed voice.

Zhang Liao listened, narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and said: "If one day, the lord treats Gao Shun like Lu Bu, not only chops off your arm for no reason, but also takes you and your deployment as a bet without authorization, and finally does not hesitate to kill you. Will you still serve under the Lord? ”

"Uh, this!" When Pang De heard this, he couldn't help but change color, his brows were deeply locked and he groaned for a while, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "I don't know." ”

"However, the lord will never treat me like this!" Not long after the words fell, Pound immediately added another sentence. Zhang Liao glanced at Pang De silently, and then said meaningfully: "Judging from the treatment Gao Shun received, it is not strange that he will switch to our army, but it is also very reasonable. After all, the lord treats him a hundred times better than Lu Bu. But it's too reasonable, but it makes people feel that this is secretly arranged by someone! ”

"What!? Are you saying that Gao Shun was deliberately cut off by Lu Bu!? How is this possible!? Pound couldn't help but exclaim, his face full of incredulity. Zhang Liao asked lightly: "Then let me ask you again, if one day, the lord is in danger, and if he wants to break the deadlock, he wants you to break the deadlock, but you have to break an arm, what will happen to you?" ”

This time, Pang De didn't think twice, glared and said: "The lord treats me like a mountain, my red ghost will never give up, don't say it's an arm, even if it kills me, I'm willing!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liao suddenly sneered. Seeing this, Pang De couldn't help but be stunned, and listened to Zhang Liao say unhurriedly: "You can be a red ghost, so why can't Gao Boyi?" It's just that if this is really a scene, I can only say that this Gao Boyi is really terrible! ”

After hearing this, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he thought that Ma Zongheng was now defenseless against Gao Shun, so he couldn't help but worry for a while, and hurriedly turned around and was about to leave.

"Where are you going!?" Seeing this, Zhang Liao was afraid that Pang De's rash action would provoke Ma Zongheng's displeasure, so he hurriedly shouted.

Pang De stopped in a hurry, and opened his mouth to shout: "The lord now trusts that Gao Boyi very much, if Gao Boyi really uses bitter tricks, he will vote for him in vain." I'm afraid it's very dangerous now, so of course I'm going to warn him! ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he changed color slightly, and after his brain turned for a while, he replied with his head as he moved: "Okay, I'll go with you." But don't act rashly. Otherwise, once we fall out with the lord, we will only fall into the hands of thieves! ”

"Good!" When Pound heard this, he immediately responded and hurried away.

But he said that before he knew it, it was the second watch of the night. At this time, the banquet has been dispersed, Ma Zongheng has drunk a lot today, and under the support of Gao Shun, he will go back to the house to rest.

"Hahahaha~~!! That Lu Fengxian has no eyes, and he has a talent like Boyi, but he doesn't know how to reuse it, but he ruthlessly destroys it!! You can rest assured, under my command, I will definitely bear a heavy responsibility to you, and in the future, you and I will work together to create a grand cause!! Seeing that Ma Zongheng's face was flushed, his eyes were drunk, and his burly body was leaning on Gao Shun, supported by Gao Shun.

At this time, Ma Zongheng can be said to be defenseless, if Gao Shun has any evil intentions, Ma Zongheng may die and don't know what is going on.

"The last general is only afraid of disappointing the high expectations of the lord, and he will definitely die." But Gao Shun didn't make a move for a long time, and kept supporting the horse to walk vertically and horizontally, with an indifferent face, and replied in a condensed voice. Ma Zongheng has been talking to himself, looking at him, he can't wait to sleep with Gao Shun tonight and stay up all night.

At this moment, hearing Ma Zongheng's drunken words, he rushed over with a few servants, and saw a strong, indifferent man with a broken arm who was supporting his father-in-law, and he was extremely angry, and couldn't help but immediately think of today's rumors, and quickly guessed Gao Shun's identity, and hurriedly ordered the handmaidens to go and help. At the same time, Qiao Ying didn't show her panic, smiled firmly, and said, "Presumably this must be General Gao." It's really so powerful, no wonder my father-in-law values you so much. It's not too early, General Gao should go back early to rest, and I, as a wife, will take care of him. ”

Gao Shun saw that Qiao Ying was as beautiful as a flower, as delicate as a fairy, and listened to Qiao Ying's words, thinking that it was Ma Zongheng's wife and concubine, and after handing Ma Zongheng to the few maids who greeted him, he was shocked and said: "Then the master I don't want to disturb the lord's rest, so I retreated." ”

Qiao Ying listened, and just wanted to be good, but Ma Zongheng suddenly laughed and shouted: "Oh, my good wife, you can come to find a husband, and your husband can miss you very much!" ”

"Humph! You dead ghost, don't be disgraced here, don't go back quickly! When Qiao Ying heard this, she immediately shouted with her little waist in her hand. Ma Zongheng snorted a few times aggrievedly, as if he was complaining, and did not forget to shout a few irrelevant words to Gao Shun before leaving.

"Let you see the joke, your father-in-law is very drunk, then I won't give it away." After Qiao Ying smiled, she had just secretly received Ma Zongheng's eyes, and she didn't stay alone, and she quickly turned around and left without waiting for Gao Shun to answer.

Seeing this, Gao Shun was dark, and when he saw that those handmaids were able to support the horse, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and said secretly: "Thief! ”

On the other side, it was said that when Zhang Liao and Pang De came, the banquet had already dispersed, and when he heard that Ma Zongheng was supported by Gao Shun, he hurriedly turned to the back hall, but saw Guo Jia drinking in a small cup.

"Strategist! Where is the lord~!? When Pound saw it, he hurriedly raised his throat and asked. Guo Jia replied unhurriedly: "You two sit down, and the lord will come in a while." ”

"What?" When Zhang Liao heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim, and saw that Guo Jia's face was calm, and the corners of his mouth were a little more smiling, and he quickly came to his senses.

"I see!" Zhang Liao secretly looked at Guo Jia and sat down in the seat next to him.

Although Pang De didn't understand it for a while, he saw that Guo Jia and Zhang Liao, two smart people, were not in a hurry, and thought that Ma Zongheng should be fine, so he immediately sat down.

At a short time, a guard arrived and reported that Gao Shun had left through the back door. Guo Jia bowed slightly, and continued to drink in small cups. Pang De was bored waiting, thinking that it was getting late at this time, and the city was heavily guarded, and there would be no emergency, so he went to Guo Jia's table and wanted to have a few drinks. Unexpectedly, Pound stretched out his hand repeatedly, but Guo Jia snapped back, but he refused to share.

"Guo Guicai, how can you be so selfish, give me a drink, and you won't lose a piece of meat!"
