Gao Fei returned to the front of the team, without any expression on his face, and said casually to Xiahou Lan: "Go and call all the Sima over, I have something to say." ”

Xia Houlan said "No" and rode towards the back of the team.

Zhao Yun and Fei An jumped off the horse, and when they heard Gao Fei's tone, they seemed a little depressed, and the two of them asked in unison, "My lord, is something happening?" ”

Gao Fei handed the holy decree in his hand to Zhao Yun and Fei An, and after the two of them glanced at it hurriedly, their faces showed joy, and they immediately arched their hands and said: "Congratulations, congratulations, your lordship, your lord has been crowned a marquis for merit, this is the best thing in the past few days!" ”

Goofy smiled bitterly and muttered in his heart, "Good thing? If it's a good thing, do I have to worry so much? Let's take one step at a time. ”

After a while, ten fast horses galloped behind the team, and ten knights jumped off their horses, walked straight in front of Gao Fei, and said together: "See your lord!" ”

Gao Fei said to the dozen or so people around him: "You come with me!" ”

As the words fell, Gao Fei led the dozen people down the official road and stopped in a small forest.

Zhou Shen returned to the team and saw Gao Fei leave with a dozen people, his face showed a happy expression, he turned on his horse and waited there quietly, thinking about how to say goodbye to Gao Fei in his mind. Looking back at the 20,000 troops behind him, he was even more happy, since he came out, it was the first time he had brought so many troops, and he firmly believed that he would definitely bring more troops in the future.

In the woods not far away, Zhao Yun and Fei An had already told the big guys the content of the holy decree, and in addition to being puzzled by what happened to Lu Zhi, everyone was more congratulating Gao Fei and paying homage to the marquis, what a glory this was in ancient times, and how revered it was in the eyes of ancient people.

"Your Excellency...... Oh no, it should be called Hou Ye, I don't know what Hou Ye is going to do? "Lu Heng knows the inside story, but he is still very happy about the things on the holy decree, because he can at least not go to the place where birds don't in Liaodong, Chencang is the land of Sanfu, although there are only 1,000 households in the food estate, it is also a good place.

Gao Fei said: "What else can I do? Of course, he rushed to Chen Cang to take office. The reason why I called the big guy here is because the holy decree said that I should bring fifty of my relatives with me to take office, and I wonder if you would like to go with me? ”

"Hou Ye, we are hand-picked by Hou Ye, wherever Hou Ye goes, we will follow him." Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai, Pei Yuanshao, and Bian Xi glanced at each other, and then replied in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan also said in unison: "My subordinates will follow Hou Ye all their lives until death." ”

Lu Heng and Fei An also hurriedly expressed their hearts: "We are willing to follow Master Hou, saddle before and after the horse, and never deviate!" ”

The nine people all showed their hearts, only Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei did not speak, and everyone unanimously moved their eyes to Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, looking forward to their answers.

Zhang Fei leaned forward slightly, opened his mouth and shouted: "I am willing to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Liu Bei give Guan Yu a look, Guan Yu suddenly pulled the corner of Zhang Fei's clothes, and when Zhang Fei's language paused, he hurriedly took a step forward, and said with a smile: "My third brother said that he is willing to listen to my eldest brother's arrangement, and I also mean this, our brothers all listen to the eldest brother." ”

Zhang Fei understood, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, I am willing to listen to the arrangement of the eldest brother." Big brother, I will follow you wherever you go, you can decide this matter. ”

Suddenly, eleven pairs of eyes all focused on Liu Bei alone, Liu Bei not only did not feel the invisible pressure, but felt an inexplicable ease in his heart, his face did not change, he talked and laughed freely, only bowed his hand slightly to Gao Fei, and said lightly: "Congratulations to Hou Ye, congratulations to Hou Ye, Hou Ye can win this honor is also a matter of course, but in the next heart to pacify the yellow scarf as his own responsibility, now the yellow scarf has not been pacified, my brothers and other brothers still have a place in the army, so I will not go with Hou Ye." But after all, I have met Hou Ye, and I will see Hou Ye off. ”

Fei An suddenly burst out, pointed at Liu Bei's nose and shouted, "Liu Bei! In vain for my marquis to promote you like this, you actually ......"

He was only halfway through his words, but when he heard a muffled "bang", Zhang Fei clenched his fist the size of a bowl and punched him towards Fei An's face. Fei An's nose was bleeding immediately, and he was forced to take a few steps back by Zhang Fei's strength, and he stumbled and didn't stand firmly, so he fell backwards and turned a few times on the ground before stopping.

Zhang Fei suddenly jumped out of the crowd, pointed at Fei An and scolded loudly: "Straight lady thief! If you dare to speak out again, see if I don't break your neck! ”

Fei Anxin felt aggrieved for a while, covered his bleeding nose, squinted at Gao Fei, and seemed to be begging Gao Fei to stand up for him, because he knew that he couldn't beat Zhang Fei, so he slowly stood up from the ground, facing Zhang Fei's fierce eyes, and didn't dare to speak.

"The third brother must not be rude!" Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu, and Guan Yu immediately pulled Zhang Fei aside.

Gao Fei saw Fei An's aggrieved appearance, and didn't say anything, thinking that it was good to be taught a lesson by Zhang Fei, and he would make a lot of nonsense in the future. Liu Bei's departure was a matter of time before he could, these days he kept getting close to Liu Bei, wanting to take Liu Bei for his own use, but Liu Bei did not give him this opportunity. He smiled, arched his hand towards Liu Bei, and said: "My subordinates have offended Brother Xuande, and please don't blame Brother Xuande, since Brother Xuande takes it as his responsibility to sweep away the thieves in the world, then I wish Brother Xuande more achievements." ”

Liu Bei bowed to Gao Fei and said very sincerely: "If it wasn't for the promotion of Hou Ye, I would not have become a military Sima, Hou Ye's great kindness to me I Liu Bei will never forget it for the rest of my life, this is a long way to Chencang, and please take care of Hou Ye and your brothers all the way." ”

Gao Fei smiled and said, "Brother Xuande, take care of yourself." ”

Liu Bei smiled slightly, turned around and shouted to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, "Second brother, third brother, we should go back." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei bowed respectfully to Gao Fei, and said in unison: "Hou Ye take care all the way!" ”

Gao Fei said with a smile: "Brother Yun and Brother Yide should also take care, and if they meet again in the future, they will definitely drink the three major jars of wine with the two of them!" ”

Zhang Fei smiled, opened his mouth and moved his lips, stopped talking, and finally sighed softly, then turned around and left with Guan Yu and Liu Bei.

Zhao Yun saw that Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were gone, so he sighed: "Say goodbye today, I don't know what year and month I can see you again, the three heroes cherish it all the way." ”

Gao Fei knew that Zhao Yun was regretting that no one would fight with him happily from now on, he didn't speak, thinking in his mind that Chen Cang was very close to Liangzhou, and there were many generals in Liangzhou, Jia Xu, Ma Chao and others were all from Liangzhou, maybe he could still subdue a few strategists and good generals when he went to Chencang.

"Master Hou, it's a pity to let them go like this, in this way, Master Hou's previous efforts will be in vain." Lu Heng sighed when he saw the backs of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei leaving.

Gao Fei said with a smile: "Everyone has their own ambitions, Liu Bei is a person with great ambitions, even if he barely stays, sooner or later he will have to leave, the long pain is better than the short pain, the day after tomorrow, I don't know if it is the year of the donkey and the month of the horse when I meet again." Lu Heng, you go and pick forty-one more relatives, let's clean up, let's go on the road, get to Chencang one day earlier, and relax one day earlier. ”

Lu Heng said: "No! ”

The others didn't say anything, but they felt a little disgusted with Liu Bei in their hearts, thinking that Liu Bei left Gao Fei like this, which was a little uninteresting. Gao Fei asked everyone to wait here, and he walked alone towards the team on the official road, saying goodbye to Zhou Shen, the captain of Xuanyi who was traveling with him.

Zhou Shence came to greet him, jumped off the horse, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian is named Hou today, and the future is immeasurable. ”

"Then I might as well be respectful, and thank Brother Zhou for the horses he gifted." Gao Fei glanced at Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei in the team, and shouted at the three of them, "Brother Xuande, Brother Yun, Brother Yide, please take a step to speak!" ”

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei walked over together, and bowed their hands to Gao Fei and Zhou Shen: "I've seen Master Hou and my lord!" ”

Zhou Shen glanced at Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and couldn't understand what medicine was sold in Gao Fei's gourd, so he said politely: "Brother Xian, who are these three?" ”

"Brother Zhou, these three are all generals under my account, and they all have the courage of ten thousand people, Brother Zhou will definitely be able to use the three of them when he goes to Yingchuan to kill the Yellow Turban. These three are my brothers who were born and died, but if they follow me, it will be a pity, staying in the army may be able to make miraculous achievements, I want to ask Brother Zhou to help me more! Gao Fei thought that Liu Bei was also a prince, since he couldn't subdue Liu Bei, he would just sell his favor, maybe there would be a place where Liu Bei would be useful in the future, so he said this to Zhou Shen.

After Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei heard this, they all felt inexplicable in their hearts, and they all had a feeling of shame for Gao Fei in their hearts.

Zhou Shen nodded, then agreed, and arched his hand: "Don't worry, brother Xian, I will take them well." ”

Gao Fei said: "Since this is the case, then I have no regrets, so I will leave!" ”

Zhou Shen, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei arched their hands together: "Take care all the way!" ”

When everyone heard that Gao Fei was named the Marquis of Duxiang and Chen Cangling, and he was going to choose his relatives to take office, the 20,000-strong team was enthusiastic, and they all expressed their willingness to follow Gao Fei, and for a while, the army suddenly fell into chaos. Fortunately, Gao Fei climbed high and shouted, stopped the chaos, and personally selected forty-one strong personal entourage, and asked Lu Heng, Fei An, and Xia Houlan to sort out the salute, and let Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua and others lead fifty military horses, and after a long while, they selected their personal entourage, said goodbye to the soldiers, and left the army with fifty personal entourage.
