The army marched all the way to the west, and although Zhou Shen was known as the main general, in fact, Gao Fei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian were all hugged, ignoring them at all, and directly despised Zhou Shen's existence. This made Zhou Shen very angry, but the consequences didn't seem to be there yet.

The army followed the rebels' defeated tracks, and walked rapidly in the snow for three days before entering the boundaries of Jincheng County. According to the scout's report, after Han Sui and Bian Zhang retreated from Jicheng, they retreated to Yuzhong City in Jincheng County, and almost gathered 70,000 or 80,000 rebels, and also set up two camps outside the city, respectively let Dangdangqiang and Huangzhongyi be stationed outside the city from Hu, and inside the city were Qiang people of other races.

When the army reached the foot of Xinglong Mountain in the southwest outside Yuzhong City, Zhou Shen ordered all the troops to stop advancing, and ordered to set up camp on the mountain, so that the heralds could spread the whole army.

Gao Fei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian were walking together, and after hearing this order, their brows furrowed, and then they all sighed.

"Ziyu, Wentai, Zhou Shen is doing this, it is simply to drag us into danger, although this mountain is big, but there are few exports, and it is winter, there is a shortage of food, in case the enemy army blocks us in the mountain, we can't get out. You wait here, I'll go and reason with him. Cao Cao immediately said to Gao Fei and Sun Jian.

Gao Fei said: "What is there to have a theory with him, if he wants to be rooted in the mountain, let him be pierced, we just don't listen to him." ”

Sun Jian said: "That's what I said, but he is also our main general, and the army he commands is also the army of our Han Dynasty, so it is better for us to comfort him, hoping that he can take back his life." ”

"Brother Wentai is reasonable, Brother Ziyu, for the sake of the lives of his 8,000 soldiers, we should also persuade him, if he really doesn't comply, it's not too late for us to think of another way." Cao Cao said.

Gao Fei saw that Cao Cao and Sun Jian said this, so he said: "Okay, then let's go and persuade him, Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong, hold down the position!" ”

The three of them rode their horses together to the front army, and the subordinates of the former army Zhou Shen were walking towards the mountain, and Zhou Shen took a few relatives to command at the foot of the mountain.

"General Zhou!" Sun Jian rode over first and bowed.

Zhou Shen saw Gao Fei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian coming, so he sneered and said, "The three of you are finally willing to show up, it's really difficult to see you in the past few days?" Tell me, what's the matter with me? ”

Sun Jian said: "Does General Zhou really want to station the camp on the mountain? ”

Zhou Shen nodded and said, "Of course, you also know that there are seventy or eighty thousand rebels in Yuzhong City, they are all cavalry, the terrain here is wide, the road is flat, if we don't station the camp on the mountain, if they attack our camp at night, won't we suffer huge losses?" Isn't it very good for us to camp the camp on the hill to withstand the cavalry of the rebels, and even if they want to attack the camp, they have to dismount? ”

Sun Jian shook his head and said: "The terrain here is flat, this side is a high mountain, that side is a hill, if you want to go down to the village, you must go down to the village, even if the enemy army attacks in a big way, as long as the defense is tight, we block the road crossing, no matter how many cavalry he can't attack in, please think twice about General Zhou." ”

Zhou Shen laughed and said, "Is it a place to go down?" This mountain is not connected on all sides, and the trees are very wide, this is a god-given dangerous place, but on the mountain to the army to go down to the village, if the rebels come, they will be defeated and return. ”

Sun Jian hurriedly persuaded: "This is a bad statement, if the soldiers are in charge and build a camp and a mountain, even if there are 100,000 thieves, they will not be able to cross it." If we abandon this road and camp troops on the mountain today, if the rebels suddenly come and surround the exit of the mountain, we will not be able to come out! ”

Zhou Shen said: "In the art of war, it is said that 'under the high eye, the momentum is like splitting bamboo', if the rebels come, I will teach him not to return to the armor!" I am the main general, you are the deputy general, all the plans are up to me, you don't have to say more, hurry up and camp up the mountain with the soldiers! ”

Sun Jian saw that he couldn't persuade Zhou Shen, so he looked back at Cao Cao and Gao Fei, and liked that the two of them could help with two sentences.

Cao Cao was about to speak, but was stopped by Gao Fei, and said loudly: "If General Zhou wants to garrison troops on the mountain, then follow General Zhou's wishes, and the three of us can put our headquarters on the side of the mountain, and the two armies are each other's horns, if the rebels really attack, the two armies can also take care of each other!" ”

Zhou Shen said coldly: "Whatever you want, you can camp wherever you like, and wait for you to suffer, see if you have anything else to say." Hum! Mountain! ”

Gao Fei saw that Zhou Shen had taken someone up the mountain, so he "snorted" heavily and said softly: "Dog's day, it's another person like Ma Yan!" ”

Cao Cao and Sun Jian twisted their faces and asked, "Who is Ma Yan?" ”

"Nobody, someone I know has a similar temper to Zhou Shen!" Goofy hurriedly explained.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian let out an "oh" and asked in unison, "What should we do now?" Are you camped at the bottom of the mountain? ”

Gao Fei said: "Of course, but stay away from here for three miles, go to the back of the mountain, Zhou Shen doesn't give them a little bitterness, he won't have a long memory." ”

Cao Cao and Sun Jian also agreed, and immediately rode back to the camp with Gao Fei, bringing 12,000 people to the flat ground behind the mountain and setting up a camp, and camouflaging it to make the camp look like there were 30,000 horses.

After three consecutive days of rapid marching, the soldiers were tired, but the cavalry was also frozen in the ice and snow, in addition to the normal vigilance, Gao Fei let all the soldiers rest, especially the soldiers of the Eight Hundred Flying Feather Army.

After nightfall, Cao Cao and Sun Jian each went back to their respective camps, Gao Fei stayed in his camp tent, ordered someone to raise a bonfire, just roasted for a while, and saw Zhao Yun happily walked in, with a cold air, the flames in the bonfire were blown back and forth, until the curtain was lowered, and the flames returned to normal.

"Zilong, what is so happy?" Gao Fei saw Zhao Yun walking in, so he asked.

"Lord Qiqi, Pound is back!" Zhao Yun said happily.

"Pound? Where is he? When Goofy heard this, he stood up and asked hurriedly.

Zhao Yundao: "It's just outside the tent, and I brought Mr. Jia back with me!" ”

Gao Fei walked straight to the door of the tent, lifted the curtains, and saw Pang De and Jia Xu standing on the snow outside.

"See the lord!" As soon as Jia Xu and Pang De saw Gao Fei walking out, they hurriedly bowed.

Gao Fei laughed, stretched out his hands, grabbed Jia Xu with one hand, grabbed Pang De with the other, and pulled the two people into the camp together, saying as he walked: "You guys are back, I'm worried about you to death." Mr. Jia, it's been almost three months since we parted, how are you doing? ”

After entering the camp tent, Zhao Yun took the initiative to let the people outside prepare some food to eat and drink, and brought it in person, while saying to Jia Xu: "Mr. Jia, in the past few days since you left, the lord has been talking about you, and the lord is afraid that you will have any accidents, so he sent Pang De to find you, and now that you are back, the lord's heart can finally be put down." ”

Jia Xu was already sitting on a futon, and after hearing Zhao Yun's words, he looked at Gao Fei's eyes full of anticipation, and said, "Let the lord worry about his subordinates, his subordinates really don't want to go." When his subordinates return today, they will never leave the lord again, and will follow the lord from now on. ”

Gao Fei was naturally overjoyed, looked at Pound's face, and asked, "Ling Ming, where did you find Mr. Jia?" ”

Pound replied, "My lord, that's a long story. The subordinates went directly to Wuwei from Shangqi, but Wuwei had been occupied by the rebels, and the subordinates had to turn into rebels and probe around, only then did they hear the news of Mr. Jia, and learned that he hid in the mountains with the clan family before the arrival of the rebels, and the subordinates went into the mountains to look for Mr. Jia, and finally let the subordinates see Mr. Jia, so they explained their intentions, and Mr. Jia followed his subordinates. ”

Gao Fei looked at Jia Xu apologetically, and said slowly: "Mr. Jia, I made you suffer. Now to see Mr. Jia again is really a blessing from God. ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord's words are serious, I expect Beigong Boyu to rebel in advance after we escape, and I wanted to take the clan family to the direction of Sanfu, but the road is too far, in case of encountering rebels, it will be equivalent to a wolf into the tiger's mouth." That's why I took my clan family and hid in the nearby mountains, and laid all kinds of traps in the mountains, and recruited hundreds of villagers, so that I could be regarded as gaining a foothold in the mountains. I originally planned to bring the clan family to join the lord after the Liangzhou rebellion was quelled, but I didn't want Ling Ming to find me first, so I left the clan family to come to the lord first. ”

Gao Fei said happily: "Great, as soon as Mr. Jia comes, it means that I have another 100,000 elite soldiers." Now that the rebels are stationed in Yuzhong City, with Han Sui and Bian Zhang as the leaders, I don't know if Mr. Jia has any good strategy to break the enemy? ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Lord, I am here for this matter, and this kind of great work of counterinsurgency naturally cannot fall into the hands of others." As far as I know, Han Sui and Bian Zhang do not have much prestige in the hearts of the Qiang people, and Han Sui is a person with a strong desire for power, and he and Bian Zhang are in power together, so they will definitely not be happy. Therefore, I offer a plan to the lord, I can surrender the army without a fight, and the rebellion in Liangzhou can also be quelled! ”

After hearing this, Gao Fei pondered for a moment and asked, "Sir, isn't it going to use the discord scheme?" ”

Jia Xu smiled hesitantly and said, "Exactly!" ”

Immediately, Jia Xu told Gao Fei how to use his clever plan, and after Gao Fei heard it, he was also inexplicably moved. Gao Fei, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, and Pang De were still talking in the tent, but when they saw Hua Xiong walking in from outside the tent, they immediately bowed and said: "Lord, tens of thousands of cavalry of the rebel army have surrounded Zhou Shen on the mountain, and General Sun and General Cao have already taken soldiers and horses to the rescue!" ”

Gao Fei's face showed a burst of joy, and he immediately found Zhao Yun and commanded a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Zhao Yun's face was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord, do you really want to do this?" ”

Gao Fei nodded heavily, and said: "You have to do this, even if you are for me, for Liu, Guan, and Zhang to avenge, if you don't want to, I will send Hua Xiong and Pang De to do it!" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Lord, the subordinates don't mean this, since the lord's plan has been decided, the subordinates will definitely not dare to disobey, not to mention that people like him should not live in the world, for the sake of those innocent soldiers, the subordinates are willing to do this." Take care of the lord, and your subordinates take their leave! ”

Hua Xiong and Pang De looked at each other, and when they saw Zhao Yun coming out of the camp, they hurriedly asked, "Lord, what did Zilong do?" ”

"Kill Zhou Shen!" Gao Fei said it without reservation, then stood up and said coldly: "Zhou Shen is not dead, I am restless." Killing one of him can save the lives of thousands of soldiers under him, why not? ”

Hua Xiong and Pang De have been following Gao Fei for so long, so they naturally know what happened between Gao Fei and Zhou Shen, and the two didn't say anything, but they regretted that they didn't kill Zhou Shen by themselves.

Jia Xu is new, the matter is not very clear, but he doesn't ask much, seeing Gao Fei's face full of murderous intentions, he said slowly in his heart: "No matter who he kills, in short, he will be a male master, follow him, at least I won't wander anymore." Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have. I think I'm a thousand-mile horse, but for so many years, he is the only one who has been so important to me, and if he dies as a confidant, he can follow my Bole, why should I regret it? ”

Gao Fei took a step forward and immediately called, "Pound, you take a hundred people to stay in the camp to protect Mr. Jia." Huaxiong, you give the order to go down, everyone will go out of the camp and go to the foot of Xinglong Mountain to rescue thousands of brothers trapped in the mountain! ”

"No!"
