Fushui Pass, in the main tent, the person in the first seat looked at the people walking around in front of him and said helplessly: "Brother, don't go around anymore! You are so old, why can't you calm down?" Angry, let’s not say that nothing will happen to the governor of Wudu in Yizhou. To say the least, even if something happens, given your status, what kind of son-in-law can’t be found?”
These two people were Gao Pei, the guard of Fushui Pass, and Zhang Heng, the father-in-law of He Sian and the father of Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong!
Originally, Gao Pei was very afraid of the more than 10,000 Hanzhong troops under his control. Hanzhong County even asked He Sian's movements many times, but the person who had no choice but to go to Chengdu to deliver the message has not returned yet and cannot give an accurate answer.
An hour ago, the opponent's general even took the initiative to ask to go into the city alone for a talk! Gao Pei had no choice but to put down the basket and pull him up to Guancheng. After searching, he found that the other party did not carry any weapons, so the soldiers guarding the city took him into the camp. After talking, they learned that the other party was Zhang Lu's father. This made Gao Pei also Very surprised! At the same time, Gao Pei also became more and more curious about the identity of the Wudu prefect who entered Sichuan more than a month ago, so he made the previous probing words.
Hearing this, Zhang Heng stopped and finally stamped his feet. He looked at the soldiers around him and hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Gao Pei waved his hand. The other party was unarmed, and he was wearing a helmet, so he would not worry about his excessiveness. move!
Seeing that there was no one else in the tent, Zhang Heng came to Gao Pei and whispered a few words in a low voice. Gao Pei still had an indifferent expression at first, but after hearing what Zhang Heng said, his eyes suddenly widened, he stood up suddenly, and exclaimed: "You said that is King Hongnong?!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Heng quickly made a gesture of silence and whispered: "My son-in-law's identity is sensitive, please keep it secret!" Gao Pei realized that he was a little out of control, and was about to continue asking when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent. The two stopped talking and returned to their seats. After a while, one person hurried forward to report that someone was coming from Chengdu!
Gao Pei glanced at Zhang Heng, who was standing aside, and saw that the other party had no intention of avoiding him. He then thought of King Hongnong's relationship with him, so he wanted to sell the other party a favor and let him listen.
After a while, a person hurriedly entered the tent and handed a letter to Gao Pei, who was sitting in the front seat. The latter didn't think much about it. He even glanced at Zhang Heng, who was sitting next to him, and nodded slightly to express his relief. After opening it, he saw Gao Pei was immediately shocked by the content!
Seeing this, Zhang Heng, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly asked: "But what happened to that person in my family?!"
After hearing this, Gao Pei hurriedly calmed down, smiled reluctantly at the other party, and said: "It's not a matter of Hong... the prefect of Wudu, this is a matter of my Yizhou army!" After a pause, Gao Pei continued: " Master Zhang also stayed up all night, so he went to rest for a while. Gao Mou has some military matters to deal with here, Master Zhang can rest assured that if there is any news from the Wudu Prefect, Gao Mou will definitely inform Master Zhang as soon as possible!"
Zhang Heng saw that the other party clearly meant to see off the guests, so he reluctantly handed over his hand and had no choice but to follow the soldiers out of the tent. Lying in the tent with his clothes on, Zhang Heng was also very nervous and his thoughts were wandering. A moment later, he heard another commotion outside the tent. He opened the curtain and saw some ragged people and soldiers covered in blood appearing not far away. Zhang Heng knew whether he could successfully take over Yizhou, victory or defeat depended on this!
After calming down, he made a panicked expression and returned to the main tent to see Gao Pei. However, Gao Pei avoided seeing him because he was involved in military affairs. He had no choice but to return to his own tent. He repeated this several times. Finally, around noon, Gao Pei came to see Gao Pei. He personally came to his tent, bowed down and said, "If you are in your position, you will seek your position. Please forgive me!"
Seeing this, Zhang Heng hurriedly took a few steps forward to help Gao Pei up, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What does General Gao mean?"
After getting up, Gao Pei took out three letters from his arms and handed them to Zhang Heng. The latter took them and opened them hurriedly. The first letter was written by Liu Yan. The main meaning was that Meng Da had rebelled, so Gao Pei should be prepared and ready at any time. Rush to help Chengdu. After reading, Zhang Heng raised his head and glanced at Gao Pei, who said nonchalantly: "To be honest with you, Sir, as a Fushui Pass, Gao's main responsibility is to guard Fushui Pass. This letter came strangely. At that time, Mr. Zhang was there." When troops approach the city, Gao will naturally be on guard, please Haihan!"
Zhang Heng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then opened the second letter. This letter was still written by Liu Yan. The letter stated that Liu Xun, Pang Xi and others had been poisoned by the Mengda dog thief, and he himself was also stabbed and seriously injured. Mengda has united with the major clans in Yizhou and has a huge momentum. If he dies unfortunately, everything will be arranged by King Hongnong!
Then he quickly started a third letter. This letter was written by He Sian. The content of the letter was: "Gao Pei, the governor of Fushui Pass, has personally sent this letter. To be honest, my real name is Liu Bian, and I am the current King of Hongnong. This time Entering Sichuan is actually a conspiracy with the emperor's grandfather Liu Yan, and we agreed to send troops together to defeat the Cao thieves in Xuchang and restore the glory of our great Han Dynasty! Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable. The Mengda dog thief teamed up with the Stone Cao thief from the major clans to plan an attack. The emperor's grandfather Liu Yan, the emperor's uncle Liu Hao, and the emperor's brother Liu Xun were all poisoned by him. Liao Liao, before his death, the emperor's grandfather entrusted Yizhou to King Gu with the tiger talisman and personal seal as evidence. However, the situation at this time was strange. Yizhou was so lonely that it was difficult to support a single tree. He won the blessing of his ancestors. Before his departure, Liao Liao had made an agreement with his father-in-law. , Gu will return after more than a month after entering Sichuan, and ordered him to meet him at Fushui Pass in advance! Please turn on and off quickly and cooperate with the Hanzhong army to enter Sichuan to wipe out the rebels! At that time, the general will be the one who saved you, so I will definitely treat him favorably! Personal letter from Hongnong King Liu Bian. "Under the letter are printed the personal seals of King Hongnong and Liu Yan and the seal of the tiger talisman.
At this moment, Gao Pei's heart was full of mixed feelings. Yizhou, which was originally a paradise in this chaotic Central Plains, suddenly changed overnight.
Gao Pei didn't believe it at first, but as the soldiers sent to investigate returned and brought bad news one after another, and what the fleeing people said, Gao Pei had no choice but to believe what happened. While feeling sad, But there is also a hint of expectation.
Gao Pei was convinced that the success of Meng Da and others was mostly due to Liu Yan's serious illness, Liu Zhang's incompetence, and Liu Xun's arrogance, so they were caught off guard. When the troops and horses are reorganized, and the Hanzhong troops and horses are added, they will definitely defeat him in one go. Yizhou will be reshuffled by then, and since King Hongnong was able to survive under the brutal Dong Zhuo, his character and courage are not comparable to those of Liu Zhang and Liu Xun, not to mention that Yizhou is now devastated, and people like himself are Generals from poor families will face an unprecedented opportunity.
Just thinking of this, Gao Pei hurriedly came to see Zhang Heng. Seeing that the other party had read all the letters, Gao Pei knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Master Zhang, please come with me to the door. Gao will order someone to go and open the door immediately! From now on, Gao will definitely be loyal to Hong." His Royal Highness, the Farmer King, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
'It's done! '
Although Zhang Heng was ecstatic in his heart, he did not show it. Instead, he helped Gao Pei and said anxiously: "Without further delay, my family... King Hongnong's life or death is uncertain. Let's reorganize our troops immediately! March to Chengdu!"
