Gao Jin walked out of Lu Bu's bedroom, his spine already running cold. I don't know if he was acting too aggressively or if he didn't hide his emotions well. Lu Bu's actions caught him off guard.
He did not dare to stay in the mansion and canceled his plan to go to the military camp. He went straight back to the mansion and summoned Tian Feng and Chen Qun to find a countermeasure.
Tian Feng didn't seem surprised and said: "General, since Lu Bu has chosen Lu Gu, he will make such an arrangement regardless of whether he is suspicious of the general. After all, the general is too strong. If I were Lu Bu, I would have to guard against him."
Gao Jin nodded his head, and after Tian Feng sorted it out, he got some clues. Lu Bu's words just now might be just a test. At this time, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. If he had known this, he shouldn't have been confrontational with Lu Bu. But Lu Bu didn't know
What's next? He pondered for a moment and said, "Then what should we do now?"
Chen Qun said: "General, I think the general should go to Xudu immediately."
He paused and said: "Going to Xudu can avoid suspicion and reassure Lu Bu and Lu Gu so that they will not take any action against the general for the time being. This is one of the reasons. The general is away and some of his confidants are left behind.
Pi, we can observe Xiapi's movements at any time. If Lu Bu dies, we can immediately report to the general. As long as the general can return to Xiapi in time, Lu Bu's plan can be disrupted. Once Lu Bu dies, then a little Lu Gu, general
Why should we be afraid?"
Gao Jin also nodded in agreement. As long as Lu Bu was seriously ill and died, and if he returned suddenly, he would definitely plan Lu Gu's position. The gendarmerie camp in the city was the military force that absolutely supported him.
In addition, there is also the military administration office that can be called upon. Lu Bu once gave the military administration office the right to monitor the generals. Although Gao Jin did not use this right these days, the entire Xiapi city has been filled with military administration offices.
Gao Jin's secret lines were discovered, and these secret lines were enough to collect all kinds of intelligence in case Gao Jin needed it.
Gao Jin nodded and said: "Chen Qun will continue to stay in the military administration office, Yu Jin, Qiao Rui and others will also stay in Xiapi. Tian Feng will follow me to Xudu, how about that?"
After discussing with Tian Feng and Chen Qun, Gao Jin finally figured out some clues and felt a little more confident. He went to greet the imperial envoy and Cao Jun's envoy without stopping. As soon as Cao Jun's envoy arrived at Xiapi, he received preferential treatment and interacted with Cao Jun.
At the same time, it was also under strict surveillance.
First, he chatted with Ambassador Cao for a few words. Ambassador Cao was Liu Ye. Liu Ye was eight feet tall, handsome and honest. After chatting with Gao Jin for a few words, Gao Jin concluded that this person was good at collecting intelligence.
, every word this person asked contained an insinuation. On the surface, it was just a greeting, but if there was a slight omission, this person's words might have gotten around to it.
Fortunately, Gao Jin kept an eye on it and said with a smile: "I wonder what mission Ziyang has come to Xiapi to shoulder?"
Liu Ye said: "Of course it's a matter of peace."
Gao Jin laughed: "Since we are negotiating for peace, why did Ziyang want to surround me with words? Is it because he wants to find out the situation?"
Liu Ye smiled sarcastically. Since arriving at Xiapi, he has been closely monitored. Even the subordinates he brought with him are not allowed to leave the camp. News in Xiapi City is completely blocked. He originally wanted to get some news from Gao Jin's mouth.
However, Gao Jin saw through it and said hurriedly: "General, you are too worried. The envoy has been waiting for a long time. General, you can go and pay homage."
Gao Jin nodded and turned to see the envoy. The envoy had already burned incense and purified his hands. When he saw Gao Jin coming, he said in a solemn voice: "Gao Jin, why don't you bow down?"
Gao Jin followed his words and cursed in his heart. He didn't expect that although the emperor was a puppet, his airs were not reduced one bit.
The imperial envoy read out the edict aloud and said: "The emperor of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: Heaven and earth are in disharmony, and all things are not unified. Now there is the Yuan family's disobedience skills, strong sect in Huainan, killing people with force, punishment when angry, lewd rewards when happy, and violence when annoyed.
, Peeling and cutting off Li Yuan was a disease for the people, landslides and rocks were torn apart, and Xiang Xiang made false accusations; the people of Xiapi were highly cautious, and they were brave enough to challenge the rebellion on behalf of Heaven. When the emperor heard the report, the ministers petitioned him, and he ordered Gao Jin to slay the bandits.
General, Marquis Dongwu, feeds three hundred households."
The imperial envoy finished reading the edict and sang at the end: "Announce it to the world, and the envoys will know it."
After delivering the edict to Gao Jin, he also presented the seal with him.
Gao Jin accepted it and then thanked him.
The emissary said a few words of comfort, and Zhuang Fujie hid in the back room.
Gao Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, wondering what kind of rule this was. Could it be that the edict was not allowed to see people? He looked at the edict and seal in his hand, and there was also a list of Dongwu food towns. He knew that this era
The Marquis is no longer valuable, but many people have been looking forward to this thing day and night, and it is a bit hot to put in Gao Jin's hands.
……………………
Three days later, Gao Jin was ordered to set off for Xudu and bid farewell to Lu Wanjun. Ruoyao and the envoy took Tian Feng to the city gate. Lu Gu had already led the generals to see them off. Gao Jin said goodbye to everyone.
Lu Gu held Gao Jin's hand and said goodbye reluctantly. Gao Jin dealt with him a bit, walked to Chen Gong and Gao Shun, and saluted them. Chen Gong and Gao Shun quickly returned the salute, and Chen Gong whispered: "
General, someone has something to say, I don’t know whether to say it or not.”
Gao Jin smiled and said: "When did the public broadcaster learn to be secretive?"
Chen Gong said in a low voice: "General, I ask you to accept your destiny. Don't force yourself if you don't have your destiny. General, remember this."
Gao Jin whispered: "What Gongtai said makes sense." Then he patted Chen Gong's shoulder intimately and laughed softly: "Since it is destiny, then it depends on who wins. Gao Jin really wants to see how this destiny will end.
Which side are you on?"
Chen Gong smiled bitterly, took a deep look at Gao Jin, and then sighed: "General, take care of me."
Chen Gong didn't know that Lu Gu's jealous eyes like razor blades had glanced at him inadvertently. Gao Jin deliberately and intimately talked with Chen Gong in a low voice, hoping for this effect.
Gao Jin moved to Zang Ba. Zang Ba grinned. The scars on his face looked even more terrifying. He asked Gao Jin, "I wonder when Bo Luan will come back?"
Gao Jin felt the kindness shown by Zang Ba and said with a pun: "When the time comes, it will naturally come to Xiapi. General Zang Ba will cherish it."
Sun Guan, who was behind Zang Ba, said with a smile: "I hope Marquis Dongwu will return soon. I'll treat you to a drink. I can't beat you, but for drinking, Bo Luan will definitely not be my opponent."
Gao Jin laughed and said: "Does General Sun Guan want Tian Ji to race a horse? Okay, next time you and I will compete."
He said goodbye again and again, and just got on his horse. At the front of the convoy was the imperial envoy's chariot and horses, followed by Liu Ye's ox-cart. In addition, there were hundreds of guards accompanying him. Originally, Liu Ye had arranged an ox-cart for Gao Jin, but there will be
The car was given to Tian Feng. Compared with the bumpy ox cart, Gao Jin preferred riding a horse.
He looked into the distance and saw that there were many layers of clouds in the sky. A man and a horse stood under the sky. They looked both small and arrogant. His high-spirited eyes turned indifferent and he shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
