After waking up the next day, Cao Cao didn't remember the events of last night, and after putting on his clothes, he walked out of the door, and saw that the sky outside was clear, the wind and snow stopped, and the sun was shining, and he breathed a breath of cold air, and only felt clear-headed. He refreshed himself and saw that Ma Jiu and several officials were sweeping the snow on the ground in the courtyard, so he called to his side.

Ma Jiu came to Cao Cao's side and bowed politely: "What does General Cao command?" ”

Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked, "Where does your marquis live?" ”

Ma Jiu replied, "The East Wing is." ”

Cao Cao glanced at the opposite room, saw that the doors and windows of the room were closed, looked up at the sky again, estimated the hour, and continued to ask, "Has Master Hou ever gotten up?" ”

"My Hou Ye goes to bed late and gets up early, this time should be on the West Gate City Tower, if General Cao wants to find my Hou Ye, the villain will go and call my Hou Ye back."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "No need, I just want to go to watch the scenery of Chencang, and go to the city gate by myself." ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao walked straight out of the county office, and after a while, he came to the west gate of Chencang, and saw Gao Fei directing people to clear the snow. He beckoned to Gao Fei and shouted, "General Gao! ”

Gao Fei got up early in the morning, had nothing to do, and walked around the city casually, the army in the Chencang mountain road was evacuated, and the whole Chencang also seemed empty and quiet, and the Han army of 9,000 people was completely stationed in the city, but it did not seem congested. At this time, he heard someone calling him, so he turned around, but saw Cao Cao walking towards him, he threw away the broom in his hand, greeted him, and arched his hand: "Brother Mengde, are you awake?" ”

Cao Cao also returned the salute, and then asked: "General Gao, as the marquis of the capital, just leave this snow clearing to the subordinates, how can the general do it himself?" ”

Gao Fei heard that Cao Cao kept calling him General Gao, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he smiled and said: "Brother Meng De, in the next word Ziyu, Brother Meng De can just call me the word, you don't have to be a general, or everyone is called a brother, it's not impossible!" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "I screamed for a while, but I couldn't change it." Brother Ziyuxian, we drank last night, did I talk nonsense? ”

Gao Fei shook his head and said, "No, Brother Meng De is very quiet. By the way, Brother Meng De, do you have something important to do with me? ”

"Well, I want to discuss with Brother Xian about when to send troops."

Gao Fei looked around for a moment and said, "Brother Mengde, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the county government to talk." ”

The two returned to the county office together, Gao Fei asked Ma Jiu to call Fu Xie and Gai Xun, and the four of them sat in the county office, exchanged a few words of greetings, and then started the topic.

"Master Fu, Lord Gai, General Huangfu's order must be clear to everyone, let's not go around the corner, I just discussed with General Cao, we are going to send troops tomorrow, but the required flags, war drums, grain and grass and other baggage still need to ask the two adults to help." Goofy gets straight to the point.

Fu Xie lowered his eyelids and thought for a while, and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the general need to buy?" ”

"At least fifty thousand!" Cao Cao stretched out five fingers and said, "The news that the 100,000 army pacified Liangzhou must be known to the rebels, the reason why the former let Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong 30,000 soldiers and horses be stationed here is to bluff, and now the 30,000 soldiers and horses have been secretly transferred to the Eastern Front, in the eyes of the rebels, Chen Cang should have 50,000 soldiers and horses, so we will make 50,000 soldiers and horses to show the rebels, according to the scouts, the soldiers and horses left in Hanyang are only more than 20,000 people, and most of the rest are in stability, intending to go south from Anding after the beginning of spring, so, This time, we want to attract stable soldiers and horses. ”

After hearing this, Fu Xie felt quite struggling, the flags, war drums and other baggage stored in the treasury were insufficient, and his face was slightly solemn, and he immediately said: "General Cao, General Gao, can you delay for three days before sending troops?" ”

Gao Fei hurriedly asked, "Master Fu, isn't there so many banners in the treasury?" ”

Fu Xie nodded and said, "Well, the materials in the treasury were brought back from Hanyang, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Standing Army of Hanyang County Liangzhou Thorn Shi are not very many flags stored. But rest assured, the two generals, as long as I give me three days, I will be able to make the banners that the two generals need. ”

Cao Cao glanced at Gao Fei, and when he saw Gao Fei nodded, he said: "Okay, Master Fu, then we will postpone the dispatch of troops for three days, and all the materials needed at that time must be prepared to stop, and if we send troops one day later, we will capture Liangzhou one day later." ”

Fu Xie said: "General Cao, don't worry, I will definitely do my best." ”

Gai Xun didn't say a word, and after Fu Xie finished speaking, he arched his hand and said: "General Cao, General Gao, I have something to ask for, I don't know if the two generals can agree?" ”

It was the first time Gao Fei saw Gai Xun like this, so he asked, "Gai Changshi, even if you have something to say, why bother to spit out?" ”

Gai Xun said: "Two generals, I want to join you in this dispatch, I don't know if the two generals can agree?" ”

Cao Cao said: "One more person is equal to one more force, what we lack in bluffing is manpower, I have no opinion." ”

"Since General Cao has no opinion, then naturally I will not have an opinion." Goofy then said.

Gai Xun said happily: "In that case, then I have thanked the two generals in advance." ”

After Gai Xun and Fu Xie left, Cao Cao asked, "Brother Gao Xian, didn't you say that you have two thousand disciples?" It doesn't seem that there are any extra troops in the city, huh? ”

Gao Fei said with a smile: "Brother Meng De don't worry, when the army is dispatched, there will naturally be two thousand people joining the team to give us a strong momentum!" ”

In the next three days, Fu Xie only used 2,000 people, and made many banners out of shabby Han army uniforms, and then delivered them to Gao Fei and Cao Cao as promised.

Gao Fei, Cao Cao, and Gai Xun immediately ordered the troops to march, and each soldier carried a flag, except for the 500 light cavalry and 1,000 infantry who walked at the front of the team, almost everyone carried the big flag, and marched all the way to the west along the mountain road of Chencang, forming a long queue.

The troops walked forward for about fifty miles, Gao Fei, Cao Cao, and Gai Xun saw a neat black army waiting on the edge of the official road from a distance, and the first person was Lu Heng, and behind them Zhao Yun, Pang De, Hua Xiong, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Guan Hai, Bian Xi, Pei Yuanshao, Xiahou Lan, Li Wenhou and others lined up, and the soldiers were neatly lined up behind them.

Gai Xun saw the leaders of this army first, and exclaimed, "General Gao, this is not ...... Isn't it the general's personal entourage? How they ......"

Before Gao Fei could answer, Lu Heng walked forward, hugged his fists and said, "Subordinate Lu Heng, see Master Hou!" ”

Zhao Yun, Pang De and the others said in unison: "I'll see Master Hou!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes were also full of surprise, looking at these black-clothed and black-armored warriors in front of him, everyone was burly, and his face was even more resolute, he never thought that this majestic army was actually Gao Fei's private soldiers. In addition to admiration, he was more envious, and couldn't help but arch his hand and say: "General Gao, this private soldier of yours is not simple!" ”

Gao Fei smiled and said, "These are all the strong soldiers I carefully selected from Liangzhou and trained them, which made General Cao and Master Gai laugh." ”

Gai Xun glanced around this black-armored army, whether it was weapons or equipment, it was impeccable and sophisticated, and it was not a simple matter of money to get such a private soldier. His gaze suddenly rested on the face of a soldier, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "You are not a king......"

Halfway through his words, he swallowed the second half of the sentence stiffly, did not speak again, but turned his face to look at Gao Fei with a very strange look, his eyes were full of anger, incomprehension and admiration!

Cao Cao saw a hint of something unusual, but he didn't say anything, and only said softly to Gao Fei: "General Gao, since the army has arrived, let it join your team, one more person and one more strength." ”

Gao Fei hugged his fist at Cao Cao and said, "Please ask General Cao to lead the way in front, I have a few words to say to them." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "General Gao, please take care of yourself!" ”

Gai Xun rode his horse, and also hugged his fist to Cao Cao and said: "General Cao, I want to relieve my hands below......

Cao Cao smiled and said loudly: "Understood, Lord Gai, please take care of yourself." ”

The army continued to move forward, following Cao Cao, Gao Fei stayed on the side of the road, and as soon as he raised his hand, Feiyu's troops stood straight on the side of the road, waiting for the army to pass by. Gai Xun came to Gao Fei's side, and when he saw this black-armored army, he actually found a few familiar faces in this army one after another, but he also felt a trace of strangeness, everyone's eyes were full of indifference, and it was not difficult to see the kind of righteousness left behind by training.

"Master Hou, you are hiding so deeply!" Gai Xun sneered, stared at Gao Fei and said slowly.

Gao Fei pretended not to know, and asked, "What is Lord Gai referring to?" ”

Gai Xun said: "Everyone understands people, don't pretend to be confused with understanding in your heart, what I mean is naturally clear in your heart." Since Hou Ye doesn't want to admit it, forget it, but Hou Ye is too unfriendly to do this. I thought that everyone had become good brothers in the days I got along with Hou Ye, but I didn't expect that in Hou Ye's heart, I was still an outsider, and I was not even as good as Ma Jiu, the county lieutenant! ”

Gao Fei had already expected that it would be a matter of time before the Flying Feather troops surfaced, so he didn't care, he did it himself, he had safely coaxed everyone, and now that the wood was in the boat, and the Flying Feather troops were only loyal to him alone, what else was there to fear.

Gao Fei pulled Gai Xun aside and said slowly: "Master Gai, it's not that I deliberately deceive, it's really a last resort, in order to be able to train into a real elite division, I made this decision." Moreover, Lord Gai and Master Fu are both loyal and patriotic people, if I tell the two adults about this, how can the two adults agree? I am not seeking personal interests for myself, but for the sake of the Han Dynasty, the Liangzhou rebellion has made the people miserable, and as a Liangzhou person, I should have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Gai Xun said: "Regarding the assassination of Liangzhou, have the two of us betrayed Master Hou?" Hou Ye didn't discuss with us before, how do you know that we won't obey Hou Ye? Now that the matter has passed, the wood has been completed, and it is useless to pursue it, but I just want to let Hou Ye know that I, Gaixun, am not a person who does not know how to change. ”
