Chapter 21: Defection to Ge Rong

"Two elder brothers, the younger brother will do it first as respect." Gao Huan sat on the upper seat, raised his glass, raised his head and drank it all.

Sima Ziru and Sun Teng also raised their glasses and drank freely, put down the cup, Sun Teng opened his mouth and asked: "I think that the virtuous brother was also famous in my Great Wei army back then, but how did he become Ge Rong's pawn today?" ”

"Alas, it's hard to put it into words, I was demoted by the court and left at home, and I wanted to serve the country but couldn't, if I saw the traitors of the court in charge of the villain to get power, I might as well be a pawn for Ge Rong." Gao Huan said with a nonchalant face.

"Brother Xian's words are wrong, this Ge Rong is just a pawn of a peddler, taking advantage of the chaos in the world to gather a group of rabble and respect the Son of Heaven in vain, General Erzhu is ready to gather a million soldiers and horses and will soon go north to eliminate Ge Rong and other thieves." Sima Ziru said domineeringly.

"Then according to my brother's words, what should the younger brother do?" Gao Huan asked quietly.

"If Brother Xian can trust his brother, it is better to break away from Ge Rong, and follow me to Yecheng to meet the general, according to Brother Xian's early achievements and current strength, it is not a problem to be a local official at all." Sima Ziru patted his chest and promised.

Sun Teng also interjected with a hot iron: "Brother Xian doesn't know, our General Erzhu has the heart of the world to save the country and help the people, and often says that he wants to sweep away the remnants of the sin and help the court, and return the world to a peaceful world." If you join him, it will really be a fish into the dragon gate dragon flying eagle, and there will be a place to display your ambitions from now on. ”

"The kindness of the two elder brothers, the younger brother naturally understands, but if I go up rashly, will the general accept me as a thief?" Gao Huan said with a look of disbelief: "Besides, this King of Qi (Ge Rong claims to be) treats me well, and I can't be treacherous." ”

"Brother Xian, why are you so confused, Ge Rong is just a thief, what can you do if you follow the thief? You can ignore yourself, but how will your brother's family deal with themselves in the future? No dynasty or generation will let the rebellious ministers and thieves go unattended, it is only a matter of time before Ge Rong is exterminated, you have to be prescient, virtuous brother. Sima Ziru said bitterly, and persuaded Gao Huan with a strong heart.

"You two old puppets, you say at every turn that we are chaotic ministers and thieves, if it weren't for today's mediocrity, traitorous ministers and traitors who messed up the country and made the people miserable, would we rise up and rebel?" Li Erhu was furious when he heard the word anti-thief in the mouths of Sun Teng and Sima Ziru, in Li Erhu's hometown, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't pay the official grain and the landlord's rent, the whole family would be left to starve to death because of the famine.

Thinking of this, Li Erhu couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and he said loudly: "Big brother, I will kill these two handfuls of birds for you first, and then lead the troops to destroy the people outside the city!" "Drawing a knife, he wanted to kill Sun Teng and Sima Ziru.

"Stop, Hugh is nonsense!" Gao Huan shouted to stop Li Erhu, and then turned back to the two who were trembling and pale, and said: "Two brothers, let's discuss here for the time being, I think about your suggestion, the coming day depends on you to make a decision, today I will send you out of the city first." With that, he got up and helped Sima Ziru up.

As soon as the two of them heard that they had been pardoned, they took three steps and made two steps, and fled as if they had reached Changle City.

"The eldest brother is really going to be recruited by the imperial court?" Li Erhu looked at Gao Huan angrily and asked. Guan Er said with tears in his eyes: "Big brother, I don't want to be recruited either." ”

"Alas, what do you know, we can't live like this for the rest of our lives, and besides, the court will come to exterminate us sooner or later, why are you suffering?" Gao Huan was also very depressed, and the brothers didn't seem to understand his intentions at all.

"Besides, this matter is also being discussed now, and you don't really want to take the road of Zhao'an, why are you in a hurry first? Don't worry, I've got my own plans. Gao Huan turned back and said to Li Erhu, Guan Er, and the others.

The matter was quickly dealt with properly, and Gao Huan agreed to accept Zhao'an, but the premise was that Nangong Bo would give up the control of Fuliucheng, let Gao Huan lead his troops back to Anping, and Changle would return to the control of the new Jizhou assassin Sima Ziru, so everyone was happy. What the? What do you ask me about Xun Daozhi? He was demoted by the imperial court because of his unfavorable command and went to a small county in Western Qinzhou to become a county magistrate.

Gao Huan left Li Erhu and 2,000 men and horses to garrison Fuliucheng (leaving a hand to foreshadow Gao Huan's return to Jizhou in the future), and the rest of the Shuai retreated to Anping County, he planned to return to Anping to rest and recuperate, and wanted to see how Er Zhurong exterminated Ge Rong before making a plan.

Gao Huan took Guan Er and others to return to Anping City tiredly, only to see the gate closed, and was about to knock on the door and call the gate, only to see a person standing on the city tower, it was none other than that Yuwentai!

Gao Huan's heart was cold: It's over!

"General Gao hasn't seen you for many days, how are you doing lately?" Yu Wentai asked from the top of the city tower.

Gao Huan looked up at the city tower, only to see Guan Yi tied to the beams and pillars, and Xiao Ruyi was also escorted, she saw Gao Huan under the city, and shouted: "Big brother, run, this bad guy has seized the city and is waiting for you to throw yourself into the net." ”

A smack hit Xiao Ruyi's face, and Xiao Ruyi's head was hit with five fingerprints on Venus's face, and he suddenly fainted in pain. Gao Huan looked at it really under the city, and looked at Yuwentai through gritted teeth.

Yu Wentai wiped the blood on his hands, and said expressionlessly: "General Gao, you also spoil this too much, when will it be her turn to speak?" Shall I teach her for you today? "Said a lewd smile on his face.

"General Yuwen, if you are a gentleman, if you have anything to do, just come at me, don't be angry with the little girl!" Gao Huan said loudly: "You and I are both under the King of Qi, I came to Anping to garrison on the order of the King of Qi to prevent the official army from going north, but today you occupy my city and don't let me in, I want to ask what the truth is?" ”

"King Qi is old and confused, and he was deceived by your turtle grandson. I also went to inspect your treasury, there is a lot of grain and grass in it, and you dare to cry poor in front of the king, what crime should you be guilty of? Yuwen Tai raped and laughed.

"Even if I deceive the king, I will make it clear in person, don't bother you, and the acquaintance will quickly come down and open the door with me, and let us in, so as not to hurt the harmony by using knives from my own family." Gao Huan couldn't bear it anymore, and he had long wanted to this grandson.

"Hehe, you have a good tone, and now your wings are stiff and you want to use a knife with me?" Yu Wentai said in a sarcastic tone: "Okay, if you open up the territory for the king, I will let you into the city." ”

In the yamen of the county government in the city, Gao Huan and his party sat on the left, and Yu Wentai and his dog-legged military advisor and others sat on the right.

"I don't know what General Yuwen did when he was not by the king's side, how did he come to my little school Anping City to do it?" Gao Huan asked with a smile.

"Do you think I'm willing to come? It's not that you told the king that your army is tight and you want money and food, but the king sent me with 5,000 men and horses to escort you with grain and grass. By the way~ Let's see if you are here to really share the king's worries. "There are words in the words, this Yuwentai is indeed very treacherous.

"Hmph, the king never asks about your grain and grass scheduling, I am not as generous as General Yuwen, for the king to make a few small fights in Anping County, there are many officers and soldiers, I am time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not easy to shake the large and small forces in Anping."

"So you're going to take someone to Changle? General Gao, I see that your ambitions are not small! "Yuwentai is digging a pit again.

"Xun Daozhi of Changle harassed the rear of our army many times, and I really couldn't bear to be disturbed so I led the army to exterminate him. Is there anything wrong with this? Gao Huan asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, you have a lot of grain and grass in this city, but there are few garrisons, so you are not afraid of being attacked?" Yuwentai looked at the left and right and said others.

"You don't have to worry about this General Yuwen, I have my own plans. Since the grain and grass have been delivered a long time ago, General Yuwen didn't rush back to the king in time, what would he do if he stayed in my small Anping City? Gao Huan hated so much that he would bite this slut Yuwentai to death now. It's really a good thing that the more you look at it, the more unpleasant it becomes, and every time it comes out, it's a good thing to be happy.

"Hmph, didn't I hear the news that you were surrounded in Changle and almost couldn't get out, I was afraid that the army would withdraw and your peace would be taken away. Yu Wentai said affectionately and indifferently.

This is the truth, when Gao Huan led his troops to crusade against Xun Daozhi, his heart was that he could take Jizhou in ten days and half a month, and he never wanted to be snatched back to Fuliu City by Nangong Bo, and he almost couldn't come back to Anping. There has been no army stationed in Anping City for a long time, and the surrounding forces are bound to move, which is very dangerous.

Gao Huan felt that this Yuwentai sometimes wanted to put himself to death, and sometimes he thought carefully for himself, and he couldn't understand what this person was thinking in his head, but he just couldn't like people like him in his heart, and he always felt that Yuwentai was too thoughtful and sinister and cunning.

"Even so, then there is no need to tie up my generals and maids to take care of them?" Gao Huan thought of the slap mark on Xiao Ruyi's face and said angrily. You must know that although this little girl has not been with Gao Huan for a long time, she always serves her properly, is it still heartwarming. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, when will it be your turn to beat and scold my Gao Huan.

"Hmph, those people don't know what to do and what is wrong, I'm afraid that they will make trouble, so I will simply tie them up. He didn't miss a meal, isn't it all good? Yuwentai looked innocent.

"I'll your grandma!" Guan Er couldn't help but scold.

"Presumptuous!" Gao Huan got up and gave Guan Eryi a mouthful. Guan Er covered his face and wanted to argue, but Gao Huan shouted: "Get out!" Gao Huan knew that Yi Yu Wentai's character would not end well if he dared to collide with him, so he could only make a bitter plan and let him change and leave.

Yuwentai was about to have a seizure when he heard this, and when he saw Gao Huan's reaction, he didn't want to say anything, so he said stupidly: "Since you are back, then I will go back to the king and say goodbye!" With that, he walked out the door.

When Yuwentai walked out of the city gate, Guan Yi asked Gao Huan softly behind him: "Boss, let this guy go back like this, what if he hits your little report in front of the king?" ”

Gao Huan's mind was also running rapidly at the moment, and he suddenly thought about it, and said to Guan Yi: "You go and prepare a banquet, and then tell Yuwentai that I will say that I thank him for guarding the city for me and setting up a banquet for him to practice." ”

"What big brother? You're going to treat him to a drink? "Guan Yiyi looked confused, what's the situation?

"You come here." I saw Gao Huan commanding Guan Yi like this. After listening, Guan Yiyi went out with a smile on his face and got ready.

"General Yuwen, please." After saying that, Gao Huan raised his wine glass and signaled to Yuwentai, only to see Yuwentai sitting in front of the desk and not moving his chopsticks or drinking. Gao Huan knew that this person was afraid of poison in the wine, and said in his heart: What a villain's heart is the belly of a gentleman. Tilt your head and drain the wine. The empty cup said to Yuwentai: "General, don't worry, if I really want to kill you, I don't have to poison the wine like this." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Yu Wentai's face, and then he raised his glass and drank it all with an expressionless face.

"Good! Good job! After saying that, Gao Huan threw the cup in his hand on the ground hard, and there was a crackle, only to see a large group of samurai rushing in behind the screen and outside the gate with knives and guns, and it was Guan Er who led the way.

"What do you mean by that?" Yuwentai didn't believe that Gao Huan dared to kidnap him.

"I didn't poison the wine, but I didn't say I wouldn't kidnap you at the banquet." Gao Huan looked at Yuwentai with a smile on his face, turned around and shouted: "It's all tied up for Lao Tzu!" ”

"General Gao, you will regret this!" Yu Wentai said to Gao Huan with a hateful face.

"Do you regret it? I don't think so. Lao Tzu is worried that there is no meeting gift to King Erzhu, and I don't want you to send it to the door yourself, hehe, then I'm welcome. Gao Huan looked proud, Guan Yi and Guan Er also rushed up and pressed Yuwentai left and right.

"Despicable!" After Yu Wentai spit out these two words, he closed his eyes and didn't look at Gao Huan.

"Hmph, you're not mean, you're my baby, okay." After that, he turned his head and said to Guan Yiguan and the two brothers: "Take it down and watch it, don't wait slowly, I will use him in the future." ”

Yuwentai's 5,000 men outside the city were also successfully absorbed by Gao Huan, anyway, he has now decided to turn his face with Ge Rong, and he doesn't care about the enemy of Yuwentai.
