"Gong ...... Gongsun Chan? Gao Fei heard the person in front of him report his name, his face showed a burst of surprise, he never expected Gongsun Chan to appear in Liaodong.
Gongsun Chan wears a cooked copper helmet, black half-length short hair is soft on both sides of his face, black eyes radiate a mysterious brilliance like a deep universe, a straight nose bridge, ruddy and supple lips, with a melon seed face, and a slender beard under the chin, he is a first-class beautiful man in terms of appearance alone. But this can't completely set off his excellence and pride, because his figure is also toned and straight, a black tight knight's suit exposes his perfect muscles, and the black armor he wears outside, making this beautiful man who is about 1.83 meters tall soft and rigid, standing there with a majestic look.
"It is here, is Your Excellency the new Liaodong Taishou and Anbei General Gao Fei?" Gongsun Chan saw that Gao Fei couldn't stop looking at him, but did not answer his question, so he asked again.
Gao Fei came back to his senses and hurriedly arched his hand: "Oh, yes...... I am Gao Fei, and I am personally greeted by the two generals. ”
"General Gao traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong, and as a captain of the garrison here, I should do my best to be a landlord. Besides, General Gao's soldiers and horses have arrived, then I can return west to Zhuo County......" When Gongsun Chan said this, he suddenly found that the street was empty, and there was no one behind Gao Fei, so he asked in surprise, "Huh? General Gao, are you here alone? Didn't you say that there were two thousand soldiers and horses? ”
"Oh, everyone was tired along the way, and now they are resting on the official road outside the city." Gao Fei first answered Gongsun Zhan's doubts, and then looked at the general in armor beside Gongsun Zhan, and asked, "This general next to General Gongsun doesn't know how to call it?" ”
The man was white and clean, and a little fat with big ears and a fleshy face, and the flesh on his cheeks was like a bulging tomato when he smiled. He is fat, short, although he also wears a helmet and armor, the helmet does not match his face shape, it looks much smaller, squeezing out part of the fat on both cheeks, and what is even more ridiculous is that he has a round belly, and the thin armor on his upper body is forced out by his belly, which looks very funny.
When the man heard Gao Fei's inquiry, a smile immediately piled up on his face, and he arched his hand and said, "I am Tian Shao, the general of Pingbei, and I have seen General Gao!" ”
Gao Fei's official position is General Anbei, and he is one level higher than General Pingbei in the official position, and Tian Shao naturally wants to salute to show respect when he sees him. He had never heard of this man, and even if he knew history, it was impossible for all the characters to know about it. He didn't have any impression of this Tian Shao, since he wasn't famous, he didn't have to go close, he just arched his hand lightly, and said: "It turned out to be General Tian, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
At this moment, Dan saw a horse driving out of the army behind Gongsun Zhan and Tian Shao, and as soon as the man on the horse appeared, he showed a smile, turned over and dismounted, beckoned to Gao Fei, and shouted loudly: "Brother Zi Yu, don't say for a few months, I don't know if Brother Zi Yu still remembers my old Zhang?" ”
Gao Fei fixed his eyes and saw that the man had a charcoal black face, a leopard head and eyes, a bearded face, and a sturdy body was walking towards him step by step, and a trace of joy appeared in his eyes, and he immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Brother Yide! ”
The black man was Zhang Fei, he was in the army of Gongsun Zhan, shuttled from the crowd, saw Gongsun Zhan in front of him talking to Gao Fei, couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, jumped off the horse, and shouted loudly. When he saw Gao Fei ushering in, the two brothers who had fought together in the past hugged each other tightly, patting each other on the back, and the joy was self-evident.
"Hahaha! If it's really you, Brother Yide, why are you here? What about Brother Xuande and Brother Yun? After Gao Fei hugged him, he and Zhang Fei separated, and when he looked at the familiar black face, he asked with a laugh.
Zhang Fei said happily: "The eldest brother and the second brother are not here, they are in Zhuo County." Brother Ziyu, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you have grown strong again, and you have become a general of Anbei, which is really amazing. If my eldest brother didn't go to Yingchuan Ping Yellow Turban, maybe he would be a general now, and I really regret that I didn't go to Chencang with my brother. Alas! ”
After listening to Zhang Fei's words, Gao Fei remembered that Zhou Shen had blamed Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei at the beginning, and felt sorry for the three of them. However, he felt more joy, and when he saw Zhang Fei again at this time, he ignited the idea of subduing Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei again. He is now based in Liaodong, and if he wants to develop, he will naturally have outstanding talents, and the ups and downs of Liu Bei and others may be able to create this opportunity for him. He immediately pulled Zhang Fei aside and whispered, "Brother Yide, I already know about you from Cao Cao's mouth. Zhou Shen, the traitor, has been eliminated by me, and it can be regarded as revenge for you, the previous things are over, and it is also an arrangement of God that we can meet again today. I am now General Anbei, Xiangping Marquis, and Liaodong Taishou, and there is a lack of talents like the three brothers under my hands, why don't you follow me for the time being, we will share the blessings and share the blessings for the people in Liaodong County, what do you think? ”
Zhang Fei's face was full of joy after hearing this, since he was framed by Zhou Shen, he returned to Zhuo County with Liu Bei and Guan Yu to seek refuge with Gongsun Zhan, who had just been promoted to the county magistrate of Zhuo County. Now that I saw Gao Fei unexpectedly, thinking about Gao Fei's kindness to him when they attacked the Yellow Turban together, he immediately slapped his thigh and shouted: "Okay! That's what I mean......"
In the middle of his words, Zhang Fei's voice suddenly stopped, the joyful expression on his face also disappeared, and a gloomy look of worry suddenly appeared, and then he slowly whispered to Gao Fei: "But...... We have now been conscripted into Gongsun Zhan's army, and the imperial court has made him a captain of Wuhuan, and he is a good friend of my eldest brother, and he is not thin on us...... Brother Ziyu, I want to follow you in Liaodong, but I don't know what my eldest brother and second brother mean. It's better to go back with Gongsun Chan this time, and then I will take my eldest brother and second brother to come to Liaodong together? ”
Gao Fei was overjoyed, and immediately said, "Of course, Brother Yide, then please." As long as Brother Yide wants to come, the door of Liaodong is always open to Brother Yide. ”
"Zhang Yide!"
Zhang Fei smiled, and was just about to speak, when he heard the voice of Gongsun Chan calling him from behind, he turned his face, saw that Gongsun Chan and Tian Shao were already on horseback, and asked, "What's the matter with me?" ”
Gongsun Chan said, "It's time for us to go!" ”
Zhang Fei let out an "oh", and immediately said to Gao Fei: "Brother Ziyu, I followed General Gongsun to Liaodong this time to recruit troops, I can't stay here for a long time, and when I return to Zhuo County, I must tell my eldest brother and second brother your news...... I...... I'm leaving, take care, brother! ”
Gongsun Zan rode his horse to Gao Fei's side, arched his hand towards Gao Fei on horseback, and said: "General Gao, I still have important business, I must rush back to Zhuo County, since you and Zhang Yide know each other, welcome General Gao to Zhuo County as a guest later, I will be dedicated to hospitality." ”
Gao Fei immediately arched his hand and said: "In this case, then General Gongsun will go all the way, Brother Yide, please take care of yourself, and come to Liaodong as a guest when you have time!" ”
Zhang Fei nodded, walked straight to his horse, jumped on the horse, hugged his fist at Gao Fei, and said loudly: "General Gao, take care, I will come to Liaodong with my eldest brother and second brother to visit the general another day!" ”
Gongsun Zan rode back to the middle of the street, arched his hand to Tian Shao beside him, and said, "General Tian, thank you this time, just send it here, I will make a special trip to thank the general when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
Tian Shao led the horse, stood on the side of the road, and bowed his hand to Gongsun Zhan: "General Gongsun is too polite, it's just a gesture, and General Gongsun is welcome to come to Liaodong often as a guest in the future." It's a long way to Zhuojun, and General Gongsun is asked to take care of yourself along the way! ”
Gongsun Chan smiled, bowed his hand to Tian Shao and Gao Fei again, and left with a loud shout.
Gao Fei watched Zhang Fei go away with Gongsun Zhan, but Tian Shao did not leave, and after the cavalry team of about 400 people went away, he walked to Tian Shao's side and said: "General Tian, I don't know about something, and I still ask the general one or two." ”
Tian Shao's face was always full of smiles, which made people look very kind, and he arched his hand and said: "If the general has something to ask, as long as I know, I will tell the general." ”
Gao Fei looked at Xiangping, which was almost the same as the empty city he was in, and asked, "General Tian, how can Xiangping City be said to be the county seat of Liaodong County, why can't even a single person see it?" ”
Tian Shao laughed and said: "General Gao doesn't know, this place has not been guarded for a long time, since Xianbei entered Kou Taishou last year and died in battle, coupled with the plague around, most of the people have migrated to twenty miles away. The contemptible people were not talented, and could not bear to see the people suffering, so they funded the construction of a village twenty miles away for the people to live in. Therefore, this Xiangping City is equivalent to being deserted. However, after the arrival of the general, it will definitely be able to give the city a new life, and as for whether those people are willing to come back, it depends on their own choice. ”
After Gao Fei learned the truth of the matter, he arched his hand towards Tian Shao and said: "Thank you General Tian for your advice, I will definitely visit you another day, I don't know where General Tian lives?" ”
Tian Shao smiled: "Oh, I live in Tianjiabao, thirty miles away. If General Gao is free another day, he is welcome to visit the house. Although it has been abandoned for a long time, it is at least a habitat, and the general only needs to clean it to restore its former appearance. General Gao, there are still important things to do, so I won't stay long, so I will leave. ”
Gao Fei looked at the back of Tian Shao leaving, and then looked at this huge empty city, and said to himself: "Fortunately, I brought tens of thousands of people, and the scale of this city is not small, as long as I work hard to develop, it will not take half a year to govern this city into the first sanitary city in the Han Dynasty." ”
