The lead-gray clouds pressed against the earth, and the pale sunlight fell weakly through the gaps of the clouds on the withered field. The west wind blew from the low hills in the distance was like a wave, waving in the air like an invisible long whip, whipping the field full of the loess. Among the trembling weeds, a grey hare sometimes jumped out from the exposed pile of yellow sand, and a pair of fat sand chickens were swept up. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace, making the field appear more desolate and lonely.

A black line appeared on the dark gray hills in the west. The black line slowly moved and gradually appeared into a team. The team was long and winding down the undulating hills. The team was messy, complex and noisy. In front and tail were fully armed knights, all covered in dust, with exhausted and severe expressions. Many knights were holding several empty saddle horses and foals behind them. The middle part of the team was many carriages of large and small, filled with tents, food, supplies, and women and children. One or two hundred camels were packed with drinking water, and the camels with miscellaneous things were also staggering in the convoy. The dogs barked, the horses neighed, and the people shouting at the cattle came from the "whimper" roaring autumn wind, from far away, making this empty and lonely wasteland suddenly add a little vitality.

This was a great transfer for the people, but there was no big herd of cattle and sheep. Only one herd of horses moved with the team driven by more than ten horse wranglers. It was also very different from the calm atmosphere of the past when the shepherds turned around. The entire team seemed rushed and anxious as they marched.

Twenty or thirty knights in military uniform surrounded a leader riding a dark horse and rushed to the front of the team. The leader wore a bronze helmet, fox fur cloak, tightly tied soft armor inside, and stood up on the saddle, which was very majestic. He held the horse, looked forward with two sinister and sharp eyes for a while, then looked up at the gradually dim sky, and glanced at the team moving around him, as if he was very dissatisfied with the speed of the team and the exhausted and slack atmosphere shown by the entire team.

The knight riding a dark horse was Gao Fei. He fled all the way from Huangzhong. He would visit the cities he passed along the way and tell the county magistrate, the county magistrate or the prefect who was about to come. However, those officials smiled disdainfully, and no one believed Gao Fei's words.

Gao Fei did not force it. He had done his best to be kind and righteous. He could not tell the officials, so he could only tell the people that he asked Zhao Yun, Pang De and others to spread news among the cities separately. The people were skeptical, and only a few people were willing to follow Gao Fei. Along the way, some people were taken in, and a team of more than 2,000 people was formed.

Gao Fei stopped the horse. Seeing that the team was moving so slowly, he turned his head and said sternly to Xiahou Lan behind him: "Go and urge me, don't be so slow, don't want to survive anymore? Let the old man and the child sit in the carriage, and the disobedient animals whip me with a whip, so that the animals can run away!"

After hearing Gao Fei's order, Xiahou Lan rode her horse to the back of the team. After a while, the shouts and whistles in the team became louder and more densely; the complex and messy team immediately became more tidy and tighter, and the horses and vehicles all trotted.

After a while, more than a dozen fast horses followed from behind. The leader was Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun rode a yellow-fat horse to Gao Fei, strangled the horse, bowed to Gao Fei, and said, "Marquis, Jincheng has been captured, the Qiang Huying Crown Captain, and the Jincheng Prefect was all killed. Beigong Boyu supported Bian Zhang, and Han Sui became the leader of the rebel army. More than 10,000 Qiang Hu were heading towards Yuzhong. Another cavalry team of more than 10,000 people was led by Beigong Boyu himself and came to Longxi, threatening... threatening to not give up until he caught the Marquis!"

After hearing this, Gao Fei frowned and asked, "Where is Pang De?"

Zhao Yun said: "Pang De and a few people are still inquiring about the news. Marquis, Xiangwu is not far ahead. Even if Beigong Boyu is fast, he will never dare to come up. This team has been running for three consecutive days, and everyone is very tired. It is better to rest for a night when it comes to Xiangwu to let everyone slow down."

Gao Fei nodded and said to Zhao Yun: "Send someone to inform Pang De and ask him to come back quickly. If he encounters Beigong Boyu's large army, he can't even leave, and there is no need to find out the news anymore. There are 20,000 troops from the governor of Liangzhou in Hanyang County, so he can use them to block it first."

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "No! I will send someone to call Pang De back!"

Beigong Boyu returned to Luodu Valley the day after Gao Fei and others escaped. After knowing that Gao Fei had escaped, he rebelled in advance. On the one hand, he sent people to contact the Qiang people, and on the other hand, he personally led a large group of cavalry to pursue Gao Fei. When he arrived in Poqiang County, he learned that Gao Fei had already walked away, so he slaughtered the 700 households in Poqiang County in anger, and then attacked and killed wherever he did not follow him to rebel. He attacked and killed all the way to the prefect of Jincheng. The prefect was caught off guard and had no defense, so he was killed by Beigong Boyu.

On the other hand, the Qiang people who received the news from Beigong Boyu quickly gathered the team, and more than 100,000 troops siege the Qiang Captain stationed in Huangzhong. How could the 10,000 troops of the Qiang Captain resist? In just half a day, they were slaughtered by the Qiang people. Later, the two armies met in Jincheng. Beigong Boyu himself was not famous enough, so he recommended Bian Zhang, a hijacked Jincheng person, and Han Sui as the leader. Bian Zhang, Han Sui, simply became the leader of the rebels, commanded more than 100,000 Qiang and Hu rebels to attack the counties of Jincheng County, and sent a team to attack the surrounding counties. He led the army to attack Yuzhong, preparing to enter Hanyang County from Yuzhong, and caught the governor of Liangzhou off guard.

In the evening, Gao Fei and others could already see Xiangwu's city wall.

The information transmission in ancient times was very backward. Everything in Xiangwu City was very calm. I didn’t know anything about Beigong Boyu’s rebellion. At the gate of the city, Bian Xi rode a horse and waited there early. For ten days, he visited the three wealthy families in Longxi County one by one according to Gao Fei’s instructions and stole a lot of gold from it. He just returned to Xiangwu yesterday and began to wait for Gao Fei’s return at the gate of the city.

The sunset was setting and the dusk was vast. Bian Xi saw an army of about 2,000 people coming towards Xiangwu from afar. When he saw Gao Fei, he felt happy in his heart and quickly ran over, thinking: "The Marquis is really capable. Four people go, more than two thousand people go back. I didn't expect that he could recruit so many warriors in Huangzhong once."

When he approached Gao Fei's team, Bian Xi saw clearly that this was a refugee migration. Everyone looked very tired, both young and old, men and women. The real Liangzhou athletes were only more than one hundred. He hurriedly rode his horse to Gao Fei's side, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "See the Marquis!"

Gao Fei also looked tired. If he hadn't brought these people with him, he would have arrived in Xiangwu yesterday. In addition, he had to take care of them along the way and not to fall into the team. As well as the little friction between the people, he was simply worried. Fortunately, almost all of these people can ride horses and every family has carriages. Otherwise, he would probably not have arrived in Xiangwu the day after tomorrow. Seeing Bian Xi rolling over and dismounting with excitement, he strangled the horse and asked Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan, Pei Yuanshao and others to escort the people slowly into the city. He turned over and dismounted, walked to Bian Xi, and asked slowly: "How did I do what I told you?"

Bian Xi replied: "Don't worry, my subordinates have all done it. In the past few days, I have received three or four thousand kilograms of gold from three wealthy families. If someone helps my subordinates, they may get more. It will be too difficult for me to carry it alone."

Gao Fei nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is enough, you can't be insatiable. By the way, no one doubts you, right?"

Bian Xi said: "Don't worry, no one saw me committing the crime, so how could there be doubts?"

Gao Fei smiled and said, "It's great. I guess they would never dream of my dignified marquis, who would do this kind of stealing. But it is taken from the people and used for the people. Moreover, we use this money to suppress the rebellion, so we just think that they have made some contributions to suppress the rebellion."

"Put down the rebellion?" Bian Xi looked at the people passing by, and asked, "Marty, where did the rebellion happen?"

Gao Fei said: "The Qianghu rebelled, with more than 100,000 people. Liangzhou will suffer. I won't say much, let's go into the city quickly. Now we have a rest in the city and then mobilize the whole city to evacuate. Otherwise, once the rebels fight here, they will be affected."

Bian Xi said "No", then led the horse and followed Gao Fei to Xiangwu City.

When he entered Xiangwu City, Gao Fei returned home first and found the leader of the Gao clan and asked them to help solve the food and accommodation problems of the people. However, more than 2,000 people are not a small number, not to mention that there are only more than 2,000 people in the entire Xiangwu City. However, relying on the title of the Marquis and Gao Fei's reputation in Xiangwu City, it was quickly resolved, allowing every household to accept one household.

After finishing all this, Gao Fei had no time to rest, so he hurriedly took Zhao Yun to the county yard. When the county magistrate and county magistrate heard about the rebellion of Qianghu, they were very scared. They did not hesitate to express their willingness to mobilize the whole city to evacuate, and sent yamen runners to inform the evacuation news from house to house, so that the people in the city would be ready to evacuate, and all the valuables, food and drinks were taken away.

When he returned home, it was already night. The Gao clan ancestral hall was brightly lit. It turned out that Xiahou Lan told the Gao clan leader about recruiting righteousness and bravery. The clan leader gathered 100 strong men from the clan of the clan in the clan and expressed his willingness to follow Gao Fei to resist the rebels. The Gao clan leader contacted the clan leader of other surnames in the city. The other clan leader also followed this method and recruited warriors one after another. In one night, he got 340 bravery and bravery. In addition to the more than 160 saber hands that had originally followed Gao Fei back, he formed a team of 500 people.

Every family has horses, everyone has bows and arrows, and they are all skilled archers and horses, so this made Gao Fei a little overjoyed, and he felt from his heart that it was better to be home.

At dawn the next day, under the escort of five hundred cavalry, more than 4,000 people evacuated the entire city and began to follow the official road towards Chen Cang.

At the second hour of the Chen period, only the last part of the evacuated people was left. Pang De returned from Ximen alone, and his whole body seemed to have been baptized by blood, and his eyes were red. The horses under his seat were sweating like rain, as if they had returned overnight.

As soon as Gao Fei saw Pang De, he hurriedly met him. Pang De fell from his horse. There was a knife wound on his left arm, and his skin was blooming and blood was seeping out. He hurriedly asked with concern: "Pang De, have you encountered a rebel?"

Pang De grabbed Gao Fei with his bloody hand and said hurriedly: "Mr. Marquis, his subordinates were bitten by the front of the rebels. All the brothers who accompanied him died. His subordinates fought hard to escape. Now more than a thousand cavalry in the front of the rebels are less than 30 miles away. Marquis, please leave quickly and go to Jicheng, where the governor's capital is located, and there are 20,000 officials... Cough cough cough..."

Gao Fei hurriedly shouted: "Pei Yuanshao! Pei Yuanshao!"

The big bald Pei Yuanshao immediately squeezed out of the crowd, with a bandage wrapped around his arm, which had already been stained with blood. It was the arrow wound left when he broke through Luodu Valley a few days ago. As soon as he came to Gao Fei's side, he replied loudly: "Marty!"

"You bring a few brothers to take good care of Pang De, let Xiahou Lan and Bian Xi take two hundred cavalry to evacuate the people, and let the county magistrate and county magistrate commander along the way, and go to Jicheng to hide first." After saying this, Gao Fei turned his face and said to Zhao Yun beside him, "Zilong, you and I will definitely not let the front of the rebels bite the people!"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "I understand. I will gather troops now, but... what should I do if Mr. Li Wen?"

"Mr. Li Wen?" Over the past few days, Mr. Li Wen has been detained by Gao Fei. Gao Fei was busy with that place along the way, but he forgot about Mr. Li Wen. At this time, Zhao Yun hurriedly said, "Leave him together, maybe it may be of some use to the rebels!"

Zhao Yun said "No", walked out immediately and went to greet people.

Gao Fei held Pang De's hand tightly and said to Pang De: "Ling Ming, you are overworked and injured again. Let's follow the large army for the time being. After arriving in Jicheng, you will rest for a while. When I come, we will retreat to Chen Cang together."

Pang De endured the pain and said, "Marty, I want to stay...I want to stay and kill the rebels...ah..."

Gao Fei shook his head and said to Pei Yuanshao: "Come on Ling Ming away, and send someone back to Chen Cang to inform Liao Hua and Lu Heng, so that they can prepare to accept the people and resist the rebels, and prepare to roll wooden stones and place them on the city wall."

Pei Yuanshao said: "I understand!"

Pang De was carried away by Pei Yuanshao and his men, placed it in a carriage, and followed the people to evacuate. In order not to cause panic among the people, Gao Fei did not tell them the news of the arrival of the rebel front. He just found the county magistrate and county magistrate and asked them to command the people to evacuate, the faster the better, and asked them to go to Jicheng to tell the governor to prepare for defense.

So Gao Fei, Zhao Yun and three hundred cavalry stayed, and while the rebels did not arrive, they were the first to ambush the city, waiting for the arrival of the front of the rebels.
