063 joined forces
After entering Dong Zhuo's camp, Dong Zhuo asked his subordinate military Sima to accompany Zhao Yun and others to drink wine and eat meat, and he personally feasted Gao Fei in the main tent.
The two of them sat down in a divided position, and saw Dong Zhuo raise the wine glass in his hand with a happy face, and said to Gao Fei: "General Gao, a young hero, first leveling the yellow scarf and then retreating to the Qianghu rebels, such a young and promising person is indeed rare." We are fellow villagers, so we should be closer and closer, General Gao, do you think that's the truth? ”
Gao Fei nodded and said with a smile: "That's exactly the truth. ”
"Haha, don't say anything, let's finish this glass of wine, and I'll talk to General Gao about something else."
Gao Fei raised his wine glass, immediately touched a glass with Dong Zhuo, and then drank it all.
Dong Zhuo put down the wine glass, withdrew all the idle people in the camp tent, showed a trace of cunning in his eyes, and asked softly: "Ziyu, I don't treat you as an outsider anymore, now in the army of this big man, there are four Liangzhou people who are generals alone, Huangfu Song, Zhou Shen, you, and me, and the Liangzhou people in the army account for more than half, but in my opinion, it is you and me who can really achieve great things." As long as the two of us join forces, we will definitely be able to occupy a place in the government and the opposition. At this juncture of strong winds and waves, if we can't take a place in the wind and waves, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in heaven and earth in the future. You said no? ”
Gao Fei understood what Dong Zhuo meant, this was to win him over, but Dong Zhuo's words were unclear and insinuating, and the specific ideas didn't seem to be clear. He felt that Dong Zhuo was deliberately testing him, and he had made it clear that he and Dong Zhuo were the best candidates to achieve great things, which meant that if he obeyed Dong Zhuo, everyone would be allies, and if he didn't obey, then he would only be enemies.
Knowing the past and the future, he naturally knew what kind of person Dong Zhuo was, he thought about it carefully, and said slowly: "I understand what Lord Dong meant, I also saw the matter of the main account of the Chinese army today, the weakness of General Huangfu really makes me very sad, although the Yuan family is the fourth and third dukes, but he can't be ridden by the Yuan family on the neck to, the dignified general of the chariot will be forced speechless by a disciple, it really makes me and other Liangzhou people feel heartbroken!" ”
Dong Zhuo sneered and said, "Yuan Shu kid is not worried, he is just a son of a family, how can he be compared with people like you and me who rely on military merits to fight with a knife and a gun?" Although Huangfu Song is now the biggest official among the people of Liangzhou, his personality dictates that he cannot escape the jealousy of others. We warriors are heroes in the war, but in the court, we have no confidence to speak. If you can join forces with me, we can rely on the credit of quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou this time, and we can gain a firm foothold in the court. ”
Gao Fei can not be difficult to hear from Dong Zhuo's words, this is Dong Zhuo's dissatisfaction with the imperial court as a martial artist, he understands history, studies history, and knows the contradiction between the Lishi and the warriors of various dynasties and generations, this contradiction is not a day or two, nor a year or two years, but has always existed in thousands of years of feudal dynasties.
Since Emperor An of the Han Dynasty in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the western border has been unstable, and the attacks of the Qiang people are enough to affect the political nerves of the empire. The war against Qiang began to escalate, and the military warriors in the border areas rose militarily, and famous generals emerged, "Liangzhou Sanming" - Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan, and Duan Cheng were their representatives.
Frontier warriors can charge on the battlefield, capture the flag, and make meritorious contributions to the country, but it is not easy to have a say in the court and transform military merits into political power, which also makes them very distressed. Where is the road? They're thinking, they're groping.
Just don't do it, put down the sword halberd, be a scholar, see if this is okay? Huangfu Gui has been a private scripture teacher for 14 years, calmed down, studied "Poems" and "Yi", and taught more than 300 disciples; Zhang Huan once worshipped Zhu Chong, a famous scholar at that time, as his teacher, specializing in "Ouyang Shangshu", and had his own unique views on "Mou's Chapters and Sentences", and wrote more than 300,000 words of "Shang Shu's Difficulty"; Duan Cheng also "breaks the knots and learns the ancients".
However, when the war is together, some people can't sit still, they want to recommend themselves, they want to invite Ying to fight, and in the eyes of the courtiers, no matter how much you read the scriptures, you are still a warrior, if you don't go to war, what else can you do?
Or emotionally communicate with the scholars, whatever the scholars hate, they also ignore themselves, and hope that they will sincerely treat themselves as a family. For example, Huangfu Gui did not associate with Liang Ji, a general of his relatives, saying that he was a corpse vegetarian; When the party is in trouble, it is necessary to attach a letter to the party...... However, in the end, it is still "although he is a famous general, his reputation is not high". Besides, Zhang Huan, who has done well in his studies, and his credit is not small, finally entered the court, but he fell into the trap in a daze, and became the minion of the eunuch to suppress Dou Wu, "Yang Ge to break the loyalty and martyrdom", how can this make the scholar accept him!
or be a person who "knows the times", befriending the powerful, like Duan Cheng, willing to work for the eunuchs to arrest the students; Cast to the pinch of heaven and spend money to buy a captain. However, in the end, he lost his personal wealth and ruined his reputation.
It can be seen that the martial artists want to enter and exit the generals normally and become an independent political force, which cannot be done in "Liangzhou Sanming".
But history proves everything, Dong Zhuo, the northwest wolf from Liangzhou, stole the authority of the Han Dynasty in his unique way, with the deterrence of force, abolished the old and established the new, and regarded the imperial power as a plaything in the palm of his hand.
Gao Fei looked at Dong Zhuo in front of him, thinking about the cruel and unkind wolf in the future, it was like two people. He looked at Dong Zhuo looking at him with a very expectant gaze, expecting his answer. He thought about it carefully, if there was no Dong Zhuo, the Eastern Han Dynasty would not have reached the time when it really existed in name only, but there were too many corrupt court tumors in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he didn't have to think about supporting the Han, but needed a big storm to sweep the whole world, so as to overthrow the Han Dynasty and establish a new regime, this is what he wants to do, and it is also the ambition he has already set after knowing that he is in the late Han Dynasty.
"Dong Zhuo is the initiator of the dispute at the end of the Han Dynasty, without Dong Zhuo, there will be no future princes to compete for hegemony, and I will not be able to profit from it. Since I have come to this era, I don't have to follow the development of history, I can use my unique way to establish my own prestige and territory, since Liangzhou is Dong Zhuo's base, then give it to him, Lao Tzu went to the northeast, away from the disputes in the Central Plains, and consolidated his territory with peace of mind, and waited until the world changed, and led his army to start competing with the heroes. Gao Fei's heart issued the strongest cry, he didn't want to live such a life of being controlled by others for a few months, and even from Shangqi to Jicheng, he really had enough of this kind of life without personal freedom.
"Good! Since Lord Dong looks at it like this, then I am disrespectful, but I don't know what Master Dong's clever plan is? ”
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard Gao Fei's answer so refreshingly, and immediately shouted: "I once heard Cao Mengde mention it to Huangfu Song, saying that you have a special private army, all of which are selected from Liangzhou, and their combat effectiveness is no less than that of Qianghu, is it really true?" ”
Gao Fei felt that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded, and immediately said: "Yes, this Flying Feather Troop is indeed carefully selected and trained by me, and the soldiers are all regarded as ten. ”
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll go to Huangfu Song in the afternoon to make another statement, let you bring troops to Jicheng, and when the rebels are repulsed, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue, I have some reputation among the Qiang people, and I can use my previous faith to appease the Qiang people, so that only those Huangzhong Yi of Beigong Boyu are left, and Bian Zhang and Han Sui are even easier to deal with." As long as the rebellion is put down, I will write to Liangzhou to garrison, as for you, you can ask the ten permanent servants for an official position in the court, you are inside, I am outside, we communicate with each other, and Liangzhou can be firmly in our hands, so who dares to underestimate us? Your Majesty indulges in lust, and if this goes on for a long time, it is estimated that there will be only a few years to live, as long as the new emperor ascends the throne, we can make a great achievement and completely reverse the image of our warriors in the government and the opposition. ”
Gao Fei had to admire Dong Zhuo's persuasiveness, and when he spoke, he was impassioned and incendiary. But he also has to guard against it, his brother still settles accounts, not to mention that he and Dong Zhuo are nothing, they can only be regarded as half a fellow countryman, what he is afraid of is that Dong Zhuo, a tiger and wolf-like character, when the desire for power reaches a certain level, he will be devoured in turn, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, this truth could not be more clear. Rao is like this, he still decided that it is a good deal to cooperate with Dong Zhuo, he can take this opportunity to speed up the process of history and let the troubled times come earlier.
"After listening to the words of the adults, let me be enlightened, let's not say anything, don't get drunk, come, take a deep sip of feelings, and dry this bowl of wine!"
Dong Zhuo lifted the wine jar in front of him, hugged the entire wine jar, and said with a smile: "That bowl is too small, use a wine jar." However, before drinking, I want you to know one thing clearly. ”
"Your Excellency, please speak!"
"I have a daughter under my knees, both in appearance and figure are very good, I asked someone to inquire about you, you are eighteen years old, not married, my daughter is seventeen this year, and now she is in the boudoir, the long is Tianxiang country, the country is alluring, I want to marry my daughter to you, in this way, our two sons-in-law can take a deeper relationship, what do you say?"
"Dong Zhuo, an old lewd worm, actually wants to marry his daughter to me? Since your daughter is a heavenly fragrance, I shouldn't have to refuse, but if I marry your daughter, then I will become your son-in-law, and my identity has suddenly changed from an equal partner to your son-in-law, so I won't do a loss-making transaction. Gao Fei was very unhappy in his heart, and felt that Dong Lao'er's wishful thinking was really loud, but he would not be moved by beauty, and the history books did not say how beautiful Dong Zhuo's daughter was, looking at Dong Zhuo's respectful face, it was not difficult to imagine his daughter's appearance.
"Well...... I shouldn't have rejected Lord Dong's kindness, but I already had a sweetheart, so I ......"
"Oh, since that's the case, then when I didn't say it. However, what you can fancy must be a beauty, I don't know where it is, and what is your family background? Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, as if he had moved his lustful heart.
Gao Fei thought about it and immediately said, "His name is Huang Yueying, a person from Jingzhou!" ”
"Huang Yueying?" Dong Zhuo took a sip of wine, silently read the name in his heart a few times, thinking in his heart that if he had the opportunity to meet him in the future, he would definitely take a look for himself to see where his daughter was not as good as others.
Gao Fei was very happy in his heart, Huang Yueying was Zhuge Liang's wife, younger than Zhuge Liang, and a famous ugly woman. At this time, it is a question whether Zhuge Liang is born or not, not to mention Huang Yueying, even if Dong Zhuo wants to find it in the future, he may not be able to find it, there is a difference of twenty or thirty years in between, and Dong Zhuo will not have such a long life.
The two drank very happily, but because they had something important recently, they didn't get drunk. After Dong Zhuo's banquet was over, he asked Gao Fei to wait in his military camp, and he himself went to see Huangfu Song in person, in short, I don't know what method Dong Zhuo used and what he said, so Huang Fusong issued an order, asking Gao Fei to lead 2,000 men and horses from his headquarters plus his 2,000 private soldiers to Jicheng to prepare for the attack on Jicheng.
After Gao Fei received the order, he hurriedly ordered Lu Heng and others to return to Shangqi and bring the troops over, and ordered Pei Yuanshao and Xiahoulan to continue to garrison Shangqi, waiting for Huaxiong to transport food from Chencang, and he left Zhao Yun as his personal bodyguard.
Dong Zhuo was very bold, since he had already regarded Gao Fei as his own, there was no need to hide it, and immediately ordered his soldiers to set up another camp on the edge of his military camp, so as to be prepared and wait for Gao Fei's army to arrive.
In the evening, the newly built camp had been completed, and Gao Fei and Zhao Yun were alone in the empty village, which seemed extremely desolate.
"Lord, why is Dong Zhuo so good to us all of a sudden?" Zhao Yun followed Gao Fei up to the watchtower, looked at Jicheng in front of him, and asked puzzledly.
Gao Fei smiled and said, "It's nothing, Dong Zhuo wanted to find me as a son-in-law, but I refused, but the deal is not benevolent, and he will naturally be good to me." ”
Zhao Yun suddenly smiled and said, "Lord, marriage is a big deal, you actually treat it as a deal, since Dong Zhuo is willing to marry his daughter to the lord, and the lord has no marriage match, why don't you marry?" ”
Gao Fei said with a smile: "The truth in this is very complicated, in short, thousands of words are combined into one sentence, I don't want to be Dong Zhuo's son-in-law!" ”
Zhao Yun understood, and didn't ask any more, so he stood there without saying a word.
After a long while, Zhao Yun suddenly pointed to a fast horse coming in the twilight, and said to Gao Fei: "Lord, look, that person seems to be Cao Cao!" ”
Gao Fei stared for a moment, and sure enough, when he saw Cao Cao coming, he and Zhao Yun went down to the watchtower, greeted Cao Cao at the gate of the village, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "Brother Meng De suddenly visited, is there something wrong?" ”
Cao Cao took out a jar of wine from behind and said with a smile: "I came to you to drink, I didn't drink it during the day, let's drink it at night." ”
Before Goofy could reply, he saw a man come in the twilight, and the man said aloud, "Why don't you call me when you drink?" ”
Gao Fei, Cao Cao, and Zhao Yun looked together, but saw Sun Jian coming over in civilian clothes, with a smile on his face, and a jar of wine in his hand.
