When it was much smoother to return to Hanyang County again, Gao Fei and Cao Cao first sent out a group of scouts, and the scouts reported that Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang had withdrawn from Shangqi and returned to Jicheng. So Gao Fei and Cao Cao accelerated their advance and occupied Shangtai that night.

After a simple night's rest, he received an order from Huangfu Song the next morning, ordering Gao Fei to take 2,000 troops to garrison Shangqi, and Cao Cao led 5,000 troops to attack Jicheng. After Gao Fei and Cao Cao received the order, they acted according to the order and separated at the gate of Shangqi.

After Gao Fei exchanged a few words with Cao Cao at the city gate, he sent Cao Cao away and watched Cao Cao leave.

"It seems that Huangfu Song doesn't trust me, otherwise, he wouldn't have left me here. Shangtai is already an empty city, what else is there to defend an empty city? Gao Fei looked at Cao Cao and the figure of the five thousand troops in the distance, and said to himself.

Zhao Yun, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Lu Heng, and Gai Xun stood behind Gao Fei, and when they heard Gao Fei's words, they all looked at each other. In the end, Gai Xun took a step forward and comforted: "The reason why Huangfu Song doesn't use a general is that he doesn't want the general to establish merit again, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo, Bao Hong, and Zhou Shen are all meritorious ministers who pacified the Yellow Turban in Yingchuan and Nanyang, and they belong to Huangfu Song, which can be regarded as his old department." Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family, the fourth generation and the third prince of Yuan Shu's family, these two people are already well-known in the sea, but the general is promoted little by little by virtue of his military exploits, and it is reasonable that General Huangfu does not need a general. ”

Gao Fei sneered and said, "I thought I would become the first hero of Liangzhou's rebellion, I don't want to be excluded, what a fucking grievance!" ”

Gai Xun smiled and said: "The general doesn't have to be annoyed, I don't expect that this attack on Jicheng will not be successful, the general can recuperate in Shangqi, and within half a month, Huangfu Song will definitely transfer the general to break the enemy!" ”

After Gao Fei listened, he turned his head to look at Gai Xun and asked, "Why is Gai Changshi so sure?" ”

"Dong Zhuo is proud of his achievements, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao have a problem with each other, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhou Shen, and Bao Hong are all eager to establish meritorious deeds, and when they attack Jicheng, how can they not fight for merit? In this way, the rebels will have an opportunity, and within half a month, news will come that the general will now step up the training of soldiers in Shangqi. Gai Xun analyzed them one by one.

Gao Fei listened to Gai Xun's analysis of everyone so thoroughly, so he asked, "How did Gai Changshi know so clearly?" ”

Gai Xun smiled: "I have been to Huaili with Master Fu before, I have seen all the generals, and I have heard some things for a long time, so it is not difficult to see." General Huangfu's subordinates are not idle people, if they divide the army, maybe everyone will be like a tiger and wolf, now everyone is gathered together, the positions can't help but be equal, no one will obey anyone, and there will definitely be chaos over time. ”

Gao Fei smiled, and just turned around to go back to the city, but remembered something very important, so he said to Pang De with a sideways face: "Ling Ming, I have something very important I want you to do, and I hope you don't shirk." ”

Pound has not accepted the task alone since following Gao Fei, he heard Gao Fei say this, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "The lord has something to do, but please command, Ling Ming will be fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

Gao Fei said: "Since the separation from Mr. Jia in Poqiang County, Liangzhou has fallen into the hands of the rebels for more than two months, and now the imperial court has sent a large army to quell the rebellion, and the rebels will definitely try their best to meet the battle." I would like to invite you to Wuwei to inquire about Mr. Jia. This trip to Wuwei is going through the territory of the rebels, and the road is dangerous, are you willing to take this risk? ”

Pang De was heroic, although he was young, he dared to act, and immediately agreed heartily: "My subordinates are willing to die for the lord, let alone go to Wuwei once?" Mr. Jia is kind to me, if I hadn't met him, maybe I would still be in the den of thieves now, I will go when the lord asks me to go, and I will definitely bring him to the lord when I find Mr. Jia. ”

Gao Fei said: "Then you go back to the city to rest first, and I will have someone prepare dry food and water for you, and you will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

After Hua Xiong heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord, my subordinates are willing to go with Brother Ling Ming!" ”

"No, too many people are troublesome, and I know Pang De's martial arts, and it is not easy for a person to attract attention. I've got other important things for you to do in a moment. "Goofy.

"Lord, the subordinate has taken his leave first." Pound arched.

Gao Fei nodded, smiled at Pang De, and when he saw Pang De turn around and walk into the city, he turned to Hua Xiong and said, "You can lead your subordinates back to Chencang now, and tell Master Fu to bring over the catapult we used to defend the city last time, and tell Master Fu to allocate another month's grain and grass." ”

Hua Xiong hugged his fists and said: "No! The subordinates took the 200 soldiers of the headquarters back to Chencang. ”

After the order was completed, Gao Fei took Zhao Yun, Lu Heng and Gai Xun back to Shangqi together, on the one hand, he continued to train the Feiyu troops, and on the other hand, he and Gai Xun went to train the two thousand Han troops together, and sent more than a dozen scouts to explore the movement in the direction of Jicheng.

Two days later, the battle situation was like snowflakes flying back and forth between Jicheng and Shangqi, in order to get closer to understand more comprehensive information, Gao Fei decided to go to Jicheng to watch the battle in person, and took Zhao Yun, Lu Heng, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai, Pei Yuanshao, Li Wenhou, Xiahoulan, Bian Xi nine people to Jicheng together, leaving Gai Xun to guard Shangqi.

Jicheng and Shangqi are not too far apart, and the short journey of 100 miles only takes half a day. Half a day later, Gao Fei and others galloped to the periphery of Jicheng, and met many Han army secret posts ambushed on the side of the road along the way.

Galloping forward for about five or six miles, Gao Fei and others saw the large and small camps of the Han army, each camp is each other's horns, the big camp can accommodate 5,000 people and horses, the small camp can accommodate 2,000 people and horses, and the large and small camps are also connected together with antlers and horses in the middle, and the ring is scattered, and the 100,000 army is actually connected into a piece, and the water surrounding the entire Jicheng is impassable.

Gao Fei and the others saw a big banner with the word "Zhou" hanging on the camp in front of them, and as soon as they arrived at the camp at a gallop, they immediately encountered hundreds of Han troops ambushed on both sides of the camp. The hundreds of people rushed out, blocking the way of Gao Fei and the others, and a soldier led by Sima shouted arrogantly: "Who is coming, who dares to trespass on the camp? ”

Gao Fei saw the big flag in the camp and was angry, immediately jumped off the horse, wearing a copper helmet and iron armor, he walked to the military horse who was blocking the way with an angry face, raised the horse whip and whipped the military horse, the leather whip hit the armor worn by the military horse, made a crisp sound, and said sharply: "Bold!" I'm the rebellious general Gao Fei, and you dare to block my way? Go and call your general out to see if he knows me!" ”

There was a feeling of grievance on the face of the military horseman, he had already seen a man who looked like a general galloping over with a team of horses, but his general had already ordered that no one should disturb his rest, and in desperation, he had to stubbornly lead people to block the way. At this time, he was beaten by Gao Fei, although it was not painful, but he felt uncomfortable, and he was punished in public, and his face was also a little damaged, so he immediately bowed his head and said: "The general is angry!" The general is angry! The last general also has a military order, and he has to do it as a last resort, and my general ordered that no one should be disturbed, so ......"

"Bastard! Go and call him, and say that I am here, and I have come to visit him in person, we are old friends who have not seen each other for many years, you only need to say my name, and he will naturally come to greet him personally! Gao Fei has a belly fire for Zhou Shen, since he has come to the front of his camp at this moment, how can he miss it, he must ask Zhou Shen for clarification. When he saw that Sima was hesitating, he shouted, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

Seeing that Gao Fei raised his horsewhip and wanted to beat him again, the army Sima immediately took a few steps back and said, "The general is here for a while, and the last general will go to report!" ”

Not long after, Zhou Shen walked out of the camp with more than a dozen relatives, and saw Gao Fei and others riding on horseback outside the back door of the camp, so he hurriedly walked over and arched his hand: "Oh, isn't this the Marquis of the Duxiang and the rebellious general Gao Fei Gao Ziyu?" You're not stationed in Shangtai, what are you doing here? Could it be that General Huangfu gave you the order to transfer? Zhou missed the distance, and asked Haihan. ”

Gao Fei saw the evil smile on Zhou Shen's face, snorted coldly, arched his hand on horseback, and said: "Where am I compared to Brother Botong, Brother Botong is now a general of Dangkou, I heard that he has also been sealed Hou, and there are 3,000 households in the city, if there are 2,000 more households, you can seal the country, Brother Botong is really amazing!" ”

Zhou Shen heard Gao Fei's dissatisfaction, so he hurriedly said: "It's all these subordinates of mine, they don't know Mount Tai with eyes, they don't know the famous Duxiang Marquis, please don't blame the Hou Ye!" Hou Ye came from afar, I must have worked hard all the way, I prepared a little thin wine in the camp, and asked Hou Ye to appreciate his face, after all, our brothers have not seen each other for a long time. Master Hou, please enter the camp. ”

Since Gao Fei knew that it was Zhou Shen who harmed him and did not go to the Northeast, he gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhou Shen, and heard Cao Cao say a while ago that Zhou Shen drove away Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and he hated even more hatred. But he also understands that to deal with a villain like Zhou Shen, he can be treated in the way of others, and he has made up his mind at this moment, he wants to make Zhou Shen ruined, so he turned over and dismounted, and said against his will: "Brother Botong is too polite, since Brother Botong is kindly invited, then I will be respectful and obey." ”

After following Zhou Shen into the camp, Gao Fei felt that the atmosphere in the camp was not right, and the soldiers guarding the big tent were all very strong school swordsmen, who seemed to have been carefully selected, and everyone had a killing intent in their eyes. After Gao Fei saw it, he sneered and said, "Brother Botong, isn't he setting up a Hongmen banquet?" ”

Zhou Shen hurriedly said: "Brother Ziyu, don't misunderstand, these are my personal attendants, who protect me on weekdays, since Brother Ziyu can't get used to them, then I'll let them all go farther." ”

"No need, I'm not afraid of being like this, even if it's a Hongmen banquet, I don't know who is Xiang Yu and who is Liu ...... Emperor Gaozu! Halfway through Gao Fei's words, he suddenly realized that this was the Han Dynasty, and calling Liu Bang's name was a great crime of disrespect, and serious cases could kill his head, so he hurriedly changed his tone.

Zhou Shen frowned at first after hearing this, then slowly let go, and continued to say with a smile: "Brother Ziyu is laughing, Brother Ziyu's bravery is known, not to mention these people, even if there are a hundred more people, they may not be Brother Ziyu's opponents." To tell you the truth, I made this decision just in case of others. Last night, the rebels suddenly attacked the camp at night, which caught our army by surprise, and if I hadn't commanded the rebels properly, the rebels would have broken out from here. That's why I strengthened the guards of the camp, and even set up a secret post behind the wall. ”

Gao Fei was not interested in listening to Zhou Shen say these nonsense, he asked straight to the point: "Zhou Botong, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to frame me?" ”
