"Piff! Daring! Dare to provoke slander and divide the relationship between me and Cao Mengde! Yang Feng suddenly became angry, kicked over the table in front of Yang Changshi, and kicked the four treasures of the study all over the sky, and a lot of ink was drenched on Yang Changshi's face. But Yang Feng obviously refused to relieve his anger, and pulled out the sword at his waist again, put it on Yang Changshi's neck and roared: "I have just formed an alliance with Meng Degong, and I will join hands with King Qin to protect the Han Dynasty!" You are the envoy of Xuzhou, why did you sow discord and slander the loyalty of King Qin of Duke Meng? Say! What is your heart? Who is behind it?! ”

Yang Changshi's cowardice is known to his friends, but Yang Feng's intimidation can't scare Yang Changshi - Yang Changshi said in his heart Who are you Yang Feng bluffing? If you really trust the old thief Cao Ying so much, how could you send troops to seize the Bishui Pass and block the way for the old thief Cao to enter King Qin in the west? Therefore, Yang Changshi also did not pee his pants on the spot when he was neck with a steel knife for the first time, and said very calmly: "Yang Cheqi can not believe the words of the little envoy, but the little envoy just wants to ask Yang Cheqi a question, if the little envoy is not a general, how can he tell the general these secrets?" Was the general an old friend of the envoy before, or a friend of the envoy? ”

"That's because you want to sow discord and let General Ben and Meng Degong kill each other! Let you Xuzhou Thorn Mansion sit and reap the benefits! Yang Feng roared menacingly.

"Hah! Sow discord? Yang Changshi laughed out loud and said, "When the little envoy wrote this letter, did he need to sow discord?" If it weren't for the news that the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan joined forces to invade Luoyang, General Che Cai, you would have fought you to the death with Meng Degong in Bishui Pass by now, right? The little envoy still needs to sow discord? Besides, Yang Cheqi and Cao Mengde sword soldiers meet, how can I sit in Xuzhou Assassin Mansion to collect fishing profits, and what fishing profits do I receive? ”

Yang Feng was speechless, turning his scorched yellow eyes to calculate, and Yang Feng's confidant Xu next to him asked suspiciously: "Lord Yang, but we haven't seen the thunderbolt you mentioned?" How can we believe that you are right? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were records of stone carts, but it was not as exaggerated as you said? ”

"The Cao thieves have already driven out a batch of thunderbolts, and they should not have been dismantled again, and General Komeito and General Che Cavalry can send people to listen to them themselves." Yang Changshi replied very cheerfully, and said unashamedly: "After the general of the chariot cavalry sends someone to investigate, if he finds that what Yang Hong said is not true, then the general can either do it himself, or give this letter to Cao Thief, and let Cao Thief take off Yang Hong's head!" That's it, please general! ”

Yang Changshi's words reminded Yang Feng, thinking that holding this anonymous letter written by Yang Changshi in his hand was equivalent to pinching Yang Changshi's surname, Yang Feng also felt that Yang Hong was unlikely to lie, and after a little calculation, Yang Feng groaned and said: "In this way, you sent the book to me just to help me guard the Bishui Pass?" ”

"That's true." Yang Changshi nodded vigorously, and said without blushing: "Hongshi is favored by the king, the ancestors are all Han Lu, and they are loyal to the present long live, and they found that the Cao thief has the heart to rob the car, and knows that the general of the chariot and cavalry You rescued the Son of Heaven from the sea of fire, and you are a loyal minister in the world, how can you not help the general to help the thief?" ”

"Why, then, did you write anonymously, and not leave your real name on your letters?" Yang Feng asked.

"General Che Cai, Hong didn't know you before, so how dare you believe it when he rashly sent a book to you? If the letter falls into the hands of the Cao thief halfway, how can Hong have another chance to secretly help the general? Yang Changshi said even more blushingly: "The reason why Hong used real handwriting to write anonymously was originally to let the general first see the power of Cao Thief's thunderbolt car, believe the words in Hong's book, and then try to contact the general, tell the general Hong's identity, join hands with the general to help the Han family, report to Jun'en, and go down to An Lishu." I didn't think that the general reconciled with Cao Thief before the battle began, and the words in Hong's letter were not confirmed, and Hong's identity was first discovered by the discerning Che Cavalry General. ”

Yang Feng thought about it for a long time, and finally slowly put away his sword, Yang Changshi, who was indeed quite nervous in his heart, finally breathed a sigh of relief, never thought that Yang Feng pointed at Yang Changshi's throat with the tip of his sword again, and said: "Okay, I will believe you once, I will send someone to investigate the thunderbolt car, if what you say is true, Fengzi will thank you, and will do his best to help you get in touch with Mr. Wenhe!" If what you say is false, ......, hum! ”

"The heart of the loyal monarch can be used to learn from the moon, and the general of the chariot can be scrutinized as much as he wants!" Yang Changshi replied categorically, and he complained in his heart, "Oh no, although I didn't say a word of falsehood about the thunderbolt, even if it is confirmed that I didn't tell a lie, I am equivalent to getting on Yang Feng's thief ship?" The lord ......, Tao Ying's little thief sent me to accompany Cao Thief to meet him, if Yang Feng forced me to help him escort him and prevent the Son of Heaven from being robbed by Cao Thief, wouldn't it be tantamount to disobeying Tao Ying's little thief's order? With that little thief's temper, you can't chop me up? ”

……………………

No matter how much you complain, it's useless, when things come to this point, Yang Feng has already become suspicious of Boss Cao's Qinwang purpose, so he has to carefully verify the truth of Yang Changshi's words, if Yang Changshi, who is self-defeating and has caused a big disaster, wants to change his words again, then Yang Feng will not let go of Yang Changshi who 'sow discord' in anything. So there was no way, Yang Changshi just left Yang Feng's camp in a daze, and returned to the Cao army camp in fear surrounded by his entourage, unable to sleep all night, and there was always only one thought in his head, "What should I do if things get bigger?" If the matter is big, Cao Thief will definitely not let me go, and Tao Ying's ruthless smiling tiger will definitely not let me go! I'm going to die! What to do? What to do? ”

What made Yang Changshi even more frightened was still behind, the next day Cao Jun pulled out the camp and continued to rush to Luoyang Qinwang to escort him, when Yang Changshi's entourage was still packing up their luggage and chariots, Cao Boss took the initiative to send a guard, asking Yang Changshi to visit him. Hearing Cao Lao David's order, Yang Changshi, who was a thief, almost didn't collapse on the ground, but Cao Laoda's guards didn't care so much at all, they just urged Yang Changshi to go to see him quickly, and finally Yang Changshi had no choice, so he had to be dragged to the Chinese army camp by Cao Lao David, and saw Cao Laodavi, who was already on his horse and ready to go.

Like the last time they met, Boss Cao was still surrounded by a lot of fierce warriors, but unlike the last meeting, when Boss Cao saw Yang Changshi this time, he was no longer indifferent as if he didn't see Yang Changshi, but with a sneer on his face, and a little hideous in his sneer, he sneered and said: "Lord Changshi did a great job last night, and my military secrets were leaked by Lord Changshi for Yang to ride?" ”

Yang Changshi was really paralyzed this time, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, looking at Boss Cao's cruel smile, his whole body trembled, trembling as if he was swinging. Seeing Yang Changshi's embarrassed appearance of not admitting himself, Cao Junzhong's civil and military forces were naturally angry, and Dian Wei simply mentioned Yang Changshi and shouted angrily: "Piff! My lord asks you something, and he answers! How many of our army's secrets have been leaked by you to Yang Feng?! ”

Dian Wei, a macho man who was counted all over the world, caught such a shake, Yang Changshi naturally didn't dare to answer half a word, and urinated on the crotch of his pants on the spot, and the urine flowed down the hem of the robe, splashing Dian Wei's shoes, Dian Wei raised his hand angrily to slap Yang Changshi, but fortunately Boss Cao shouted in time: "Evil, stop!" I have something to ask him. ”

"No." Dian Wei put down his slap stupidly. Boss Cao shouted again: "Say, what did you say when you talked to Yang Feng last night?!" ”

Yang Changshi's face was no different from that of a dead man, and he trembled even more, and where could he say a word? Seeing that Yang Changshi's nest had become like this, Boss Cao didn't bother to talk to Yang Changshi, but shouted: "Listen, when you talk to Yang Feng in the future, if you dare to leak my military intelligence and military aircraft word by word, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Get lost! Don't be embarrassed here, last night's incident, I'll settle accounts with you another day! ”

Dian Wei threw Yang Changshi three or four feet away, and threw poor Yang Changshi to pieces, and it took a long time to barely get up, and he escaped far away with his hands and feet. Looking at Yang Changshi's extremely obscene back, Boss Cao couldn't help but snort again, and said: "Tao Ying's thief really has no ability to know people, he actually reuses such a despicable villain, and entrusts him with the heavy responsibility of taking the lead, it's just blind!" ”

"My lord, our army did not use the Thunderbolt at Bishui Pass, but Yang Feng personally came to inquire about the Thunderbolt and asked our army to demonstrate how the Thunderbolt is working." The man next to him asked hatefully: "This matter is very likely to be leaked to Yang Feng by this Yang Hong villain, why didn't the lord behead him for questioning and let him go?" ”

"Berning, everything has to look at the long term." Boss Cao replied helplessly: "Our army is returning to the east this time, if the matter goes smoothly, it will inevitably attract Yuan Shao's jealousy, and even have a bad relationship with Yuan Shao, the reason why I swallowed my anger and agreed to Tao Ying's thief to send an envoy to accompany him and pay tribute to the Son of Heaven is actually to pull Tao Ying Xiao'er into the water, so that Tao Ying Xiao'er can also participate in the matter of welcoming the eastward return, and share Yuan Shao's anger with me." At that time, if our army really has a bad relationship with Yuan Shao, it is also possible to pull Tao Ying's thief to the side of our army to ensure the safety of our army's rear. Therefore, this Yang Hong villain must not be killed, so he can only continue to accompany him and send Xuzhou tribute to the Son of Heaven. ”

Speaking of this, Boss Cao added: "Besides, Yang Feng has also explained that Yang Hong, a despicable villain, was drunk and lost his words, and inadvertently mentioned that our army has a siege weapon thunderbolt car, since it is only an unintentional mistake, it is rare for me to deal with him." "It turns out that the lord is thinking about this." Man Zhong nodded to show understanding, and said: "Fortunately, the lord does not let this thief participate in the military aircraft, even if he wants to deliberately sell our army's military aircraft, he is powerless, and at most he will leak the fact that our army has a thunderbolt to Yang Feng." However, there is still something unclear about the pet, Yang Feng personally came to inquire about the thunderbolt car, why didn't the lord deny the existence of such a secret weapon as the thunderbolt car, and also allowed Yang Feng to visit the thunderbolt car, and even allowed Yang Feng to witness the power of our army's thunderbolt car? ”

"Of course, I want Yang Feng to see the military might of our army." Cao Lao replied with a smile: "Dong Gongren (Dong Zhao) has secretly reported to me, at present, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Zhang Yang and Dong Cheng in Luoyang City are fighting endlessly, fighting for power and profit, among them, Han Xian's current attitude is unclear, Zhang Yang is Lu Bu's friend of life and death must be difficult with me, Dong Cheng is slightly inclined to me, Yang Feng, who has the strongest army, has an ambiguous attitude, I let him see my military might, Dong Gongren wants to persuade Yang Feng to lean towards me, isn't it much easier?" "Full of favor suddenly realized, and hurriedly praised Boss Cao for his cleverness, taking precautions and far-reaching insight, robbing the Son of Heaven and moving to Yanzhou, it must be as easy as a snap.

Boss Cao must have regretted that he didn't make it clear to Yang Changshi, because in the afternoon, the Xuzhou envoy suddenly sent someone to report, saying that the head of the regiment, Yang Changshi, rode to the bank of the Yellow River to relieve him, but for some reason he disappeared, and Yang Changshi's entourage couldn't find it, so they had to ask Boss Cao for help and ask Boss Cao to send someone to help find Yang Changshi! Hearing this news, Boss Cao suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that it must have been his intimidation in the morning that was too much, and had completely scared Yang Changshi stupid, so Yang Changshi, who was as timid as a mouse, had no choice but to smear the soles of his feet with oil.

After smiling bitterly, Boss Cao had no choice but to call Xiahou Dun, the general in charge of the scouts, and reluctantly instructed him: "Immediately send a scout to find the horse, find Yang Hong and tell him that I am just dissatisfied with his drunken gaffe and leaking the fact that our army has a thunderbolt, and scolded him a few words, but in fact he didn't have any intentions, and told him to come back quickly, and I gave him a drink to suppress the shock." Besides, treat the Xuzhou envoys well and let the Xuzhou envoys continue to march west with the army, and I will use them to drag the Tao Ying thief into the water. Xiahou sang Nuo and followed the order, and hurriedly sent scouts to look for Yang Changshi without mentioning.

And Yang Hong's side, when he heard the news of Yang Changshi's disappearance, General Yang Feng, who originally planned to invite Yang Changshi to the camp banquet at night, was shocked, and immediately misunderstood the reason for Yang Changshi's disappearance, and exclaimed: "Oops! Could it be that the rumors leaked and Cao Thief killed people and created the illusion that Mr. Zhongming was missing? ”

"It's possible!" Yang Feng's henchman General Xu also had suspicions, and said: "The lord visited Cao Thief early this morning and asked to visit the siege weapon Thunderbolt that Cao Thief did not use. ”

"What a vicious thief!" Yang Feng was furious and roared: "When I proposed to visit the Thunderbolt, I had already explained that I had accidentally learned about it during a conversation with Zhong Ming, and I asked to visit it out of curiosity, and indirectly explained for Mr. Zhong Ming. It seems that Mr. Zhong Ming's words are completely true! ”

"Mr. Zhong Ming sacrificed his life to help our army, it is impossible to lie to the lord." The general surnamed Xu nodded, and then suggested: "Lord, for the sake of prudence, it is best for us to send some scouts to search carefully, if we can find Mr. Zhong Ming himself, of course, it is the best, or find his body, it can also prove that the thief Cao really came with bad intentions and killed Mr. Zhong Ming!" ”

"Reasonable!" Yang Feng nodded vigorously and said viciously: "Immediately send more scouts to explore the horses, and let me go around to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Zhong Ming, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die!" ”

The general surnamed Xu agreed, and hurriedly sent more scouts to look for Yang Changshi's whereabouts, and Yang Feng gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart: "Whether you can find Mr. Zhongming or not, it seems that you have to talk carefully with Han Xian and Zhang Yang." If we can put aside internal strife and unite with the outside world, plus the opportunity of Li Dao and Guo Yanxi to commit crimes, we may not be able to defeat Cao Thief and stop Cao Thief's ambition to hijack! ”

…………………………

Our Yang Changshi must never have dreamed that his escape would trigger so many chain reactions, and now Yang Changshi only believes that there is one thing, that is, it is no longer possible for him not to escape! Boss Cao already knew about Yang Changshi's leakage of military aircraft to Yang Feng, and threatened to settle accounts with Yang Changshi! At the same time, Yang Changshi was disgusted with Boss Cao's self-defeating, and was caught by Yang Feng for Yang Changshi betraying Boss Cao's confidential military information, and he would definitely force Yang Feng's thief ship in Yang Changshi, if Yang Changshi dared to step on Yang Feng's thief ship, not only Boss Cao couldn't spare Yang Changshi, but Tao Ying definitely couldn't spare Yang Changshi! And if Yang Changshi dares not to go to Yang Feng's thief ship, Yang Feng only needs to send the anonymous letter written by Yang Changshi to Boss Cao, and Boss Cao will definitely do it faster and make Yang Changshi skin and cramp!

In view of these circumstances, Yang Changshi, who cherishes his life, also feels that he only has one choice left to live, that is, to quickly escape from the vortex of right and wrong in Luoyang, escape from the Xuzhou army and join the Ming Lord! Not only to save the precious life, but also to have the opportunity to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth! So in the afternoon, Yang Changshi, who was as timid as a mouse, made up his mind, took some valuable jewelry and went to no one to defecate under the pretext of going to no one, rode a horse and left the Xuzhou envoy group, fled to the bank of the Yellow River alone, and found a ferry boat downstream, bribed the fisherman to cross the river with his war horse with a lot of money, and fled to Hanoi County, preparing to go to Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang to temporarily accommodate himself - because of insufficient intelligence support, our Yang Changshi still doesn't know that Zhang Yang is actually still in Luoyang City............ When Yang Changshi was lucky to cross the Yellow River, the time was already close to evening, and he learned from the mouth of the ferry fisherman that this place was called Chengou, and there was a Qingfeng Ridge not far to the north, and there was a family living on the ridge............ Yang Changshi rode north for several miles, and when the sky was about to get dark, Yang Changshi finally saw a high hillside with lights burning, and hurriedly rushed to the bottom of the mountain, led the horse up the steps, and soon arrived in front of a small village with only a few simple thatched houses. However, to Yang Changshi's surprise, the door of this remote village was quite lively, with more than 20 sturdy men guarding the door, and there were two horses in the Western Regions that were very expensive in the Central Plains, which seemed to have a good background. Seeing Yang Changshi approaching with his horse, a man immediately stepped forward to stop him and shouted: "Stop, why are you here?" ”

"Passers-by, because they got lost, strayed here, it was dark, there was nowhere to stay, so they came to stay overnight." Of course, Yang Changshi didn't tell the truth, but just saluted respectfully and said: "The troublesome strong man is the master here, if he is taken in, he will definitely be rewarded!" ”

"It's ......." The man had a tutor, and although he was embarrassed, he didn't say anything bad to expel Yang Changshi away, but said in a slow voice: "Sir, don't blame, the host here is meeting guests, and it is inconvenient to see each other, so please ask Mr. to find another place to stay." After the gentleman went down the mountain, he traveled three miles to the west, and there were also people. ”

"Strong man, it's already so dark, today is the first day of the new year, the moonlight is unknown, and I don't know ...... place below."

Yang Changshi cried and mourned, and he was used to reaching into his sleeve to pay money and bribes, but at this moment, a gentle laugh sounded in the village, "Who said that the host is inconvenient to meet guests?" Ah Yi, how did your family take charge of the teacher and expel the guests from afar? ”

As he spoke, a middle-aged scribe came out of the house with a lamp and smiled softly in the courtyard, and a little behind the middle-aged scribe, there was a thin young man who bowed to the middle-aged scribe and said very respectfully: "Don't blame the teacher, the students are also afraid that after the teacher receives the guests, they will not be willing to move down the mountain with the students, so they take the liberty to refuse." ”

"The teacher has already said that he lives well here, Ah Yi, you don't need to persuade much, the teacher will not go with you, such a poor and remote place, it is expected that the chaotic soldiers will not come to disturb." The middle-aged scribe waved his hand, and then bowed his hand to Yang Changshi and said, "Since Mr. has come to spend the night, then if Mr. is not too shabby, he can move and give in." Yang Changshi was overjoyed, and quickly thanked the middle-aged scribe, led the war horse into the village gate and tied it, and entered the grass hall at the invitation of the middle-aged scribe.

It was also when he entered the lit grass hall that Yang Changshi could see the appearance of the middle-aged scribe clearly, at the age of thirty-six or seventeen, with a kudzu scarf and cloth robe, hemp shoes and soap, and his clothes were very simple, but his appearance was really good, and his light eyebrows and long eyes were extraordinary. And the young man who was called Ah Yi by the middle-aged scribe was only seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed very luxuriously, handsome in appearance, and very polite in speech and behavior, saluted Yang Changshi respectfully, called him sir, and invited Yang Changshi to sit for the teacher, and personally brought Yang Changshi the boiled tea.

The guest and the host sat down, and the middle-aged scribe spoke first, and said with a smile: "I don't know why the lord has a big name, why did he get lost here?" ”

"Your Excellency?" Yang Changshi looked down at the scholarly shirt he was deliberately wearing, touched the square scarf on his head, and asked very suspiciously: "I don't know how Mr. knew that he was an official?" ”

"Grown-up shoes, and grown-up saddles." The middle-aged scribe smiled and replied, "Although the lord is dressed as a scholar, the shoes are the court shoes worn by officials. There is also an adult's saddle, which is also dedicated to government horses, which is not the same as a folk saddle. ”

"And an adult's belt." The young man Ah Yi also saluted and said: "The adult's belt is tied with a double knot at one end, and the other end hangs down behind him, this is for the exclusive use of Han officials, and the belt of the common people will not be so knotted, because of the inconvenience of work, ordinary literati and rich businessmen dare not trespass casually." ”

thought that there were so many loopholes in the seamless makeup, Yang Changshi gasped, but he didn't dare to deny it casually, so he had to answer honestly: "Mr. and this son are really smart, they are indeed in-service officials, and their surname is Yang Minghong, the word Zhongming, I have seen Mr., I have seen Mr., I have seen Mr. ”

"Yang Hong, Yang Zhongming?" The middle-aged scribe raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that Mr. Fei is the former governor of Yangzhou, and the current governor of Xuzhou, Lord Yang Hongyang?" ”

"Sir have you heard of the name of the thin?" Yang Changshi was shocked and a little worried - his reputation was not very good.

"The long history of the famous, although in the village, but I have already heard of it." The middle-aged scribe obviously didn't care about Yang Changshi's bad reputation, and said very politely: "Yang Changshi abandoned the secret and turned to the light, resolutely gave up the strength and cruelty of Yuan Shu, and threw himself into the command of Tao Ying's benevolence and righteousness, benefiting the five counties of Xuzhou. ”

"Loyalty? Is this guy scolding me or is he praising me? Yang Changshi was a little puzzled in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Dare to ask Mr. Gao's surname, what is your name?" ”

The middle-aged scribe seemed to have a good impression of Yang Changshi, and replied politely with his name and table. And after Yang Changshi heard the name of the middle-aged scribe, he also jumped up in shock, hurriedly went to the middle-aged scribe and threw himself to the ground, and said excitedly: "It turns out that Mr. is the famous Mr. Kong Ming?!" Unexpectedly, Mr. actually lived in seclusion here, Hong Jiu heard the name of Mr. Kong Ming, admired a lot, and now said to see Mr. Kong Ming's respect, Hong Sansheng is fortunate! ”
