It is said that Bafu cherishes people's livelihood and is people-oriented, but Yang Feng has always believed that Bafu is not as pedantic as it is. It clearly has tens of thousands of troops, and its military and material resources are far superior to the enemy's; knowing that
The enemy army is taking the people as hostages and will go north to join Yuan Shao. Once they are allowed to cross the river,
I'm afraid that the whole situation will be unimaginable. But the Bafu in front of me is actually able to use no weapons. He just maintains a distance of ten miles between the two armies and follows them leisurely.
Of course, this does not mean that Bafu has no means. Once Bai Bo stops in front, Bafu will stop accordingly and send people to bury pots and make rice in the front army.
Later, the knights were cruising in the rear. They publicized to the people that as long as they fled south, they would be led by the royal army.
There is also porridge and rice to treat you.
The people of Xuzhou were originally coerced by Bai Bo. After hearing this news, they were naturally very willing. However, Bai Bo had already made arrangements. Most of the soldiers were guarding the south wing. If there was a disturbance by refugees and the intention of escaping and returning south, the soldiers would immediately attack.
He beheaded the people in public, which made the people he brought with him never dare to return southward. They could only escape from the camp by finding a gap or two in the middle of the night. After a few days, only more than 10,000 people managed to escape. For Baibo's nearly 700,000 people,
The team is really insignificant.
Yang Feng, Han Xian and others were still wary at first, and they and their followers were all camping in the north. They had secretly made a plan. Once the Bafu launched a general attack, they would abandon most of it and run towards the north day and night.
They could always escape with their lives. But now, they were laughing at Liu Bei: "How can a woman's benevolence achieve great things?" So they relaxed and lived casually as if they were in Xiapi. There were even songs in secret.
It is said that "Liu Gongren looked ten miles away. He was brave and sent him to the East China Sea."
On February 27th, Bai Bo and his group arrived at Haiqu, which was only a hundred miles away from Beihai County in the north. It was expected that in three days, Bafu would be able to only sit on the white land and sigh, unable to do anything.<
/p>
On this day, Yang Feng and others also received a reply from Yuan Shao. The letter said that he had sent troops to the south bank of the plain and prepared thousands of ships in Liao City. As long as they reached the south bank of the river, they would be able to cross the river.
To the north.
As for the arrangements after crossing the river,
Yuan Shao also made it clear,
Take advantage of the good opportunity of Bafu to go south,
Yuan Shao is also mobilizing troops and generals.
It is expected that he will lead a large army to besiege Yijing again at the end of the month. Without Liu Bei's help this time, Yuan Shao is determined to capture Yijing. If Yijing is lost, Youzhou will also be owned by Yuan Shao. Therefore, Yuan Shao plans to make Yang Feng the governor of Yuyang and Han Siam.
As the prefect of Peiping, Dugu went to Bei and became the Shanyu of the East. He transferred some Wuhuan to his commanders and ordered them to lead the people of Xuzhou and settle them in these two counties.
Although he was not as good as the official position of the Linzi court, Yang Feng and his party also knew that they had come from afar to defect and were rebels. It was rare to receive such treatment, so they were still satisfied. After days of marching, the morale of the army was also a bit low.
Yang Feng took this opportunity to publicize the contents of the letter. After the officers and soldiers read it, their morale was indeed greatly boosted.
Taking this opportunity, Chen Gui suddenly suggested: Although the escape is imminent, after all, most of the soldiers in the army are people from Xuzhou. When they think about leaving their hometown and going to Hebei soon, and not knowing how long it will take to come back, everyone's homesickness will inevitably overflow. Therefore.
He plans to hold a banquet here and invites Yang Feng and others to attend. He hopes that the monarch and his ministers can establish friendship here and work together to overcome the difficulties. Perhaps many years later when the world is unified, this matter can also become a good talk.<
/p>
Yang Feng and Dugu Qubei happily agreed, but only Han Xian refused. He said: "Drinking makes people crazy, so it is better to drink less." Everyone knew that he was practicing Buddha chanting, so they did not force it.
So when the sunset turned from yellow to red, Chen Gui found a roadside pavilion as a place for banquets. I don’t know who managed this pavilion before. The pavilion was very elegantly maintained, and there were bamboos in the courtyard.
There are clusters of vines in front of the pavilion, and on the other side of the road is a river more than two feet wide. Under the shade of willows, the flowing water gurgls with sound, which makes people feel happy unconsciously.
Probably because it had rained upstream, the water level in the river was high at this time. A few soldiers who were good at water pulled the net into the water. After a few trips back and forth, they actually pulled a basket full and threw out finger-sized fry. Among them were actually
There were also more than ten sea bass. Chen Gui was very happy when he heard about it. He sent someone to set up the table and fetch some water shield. The sea bass is delicious, and only the sweetness of water shield can complement it.
Time flew by so fast, and when Yang Feng and others came to sit down, only a palm-sized patch of red clouds remained on the horizon. The sky was naturally dark, because Chen Gui arranged for people to give porridge outside the pavilion, and many people
Refugees lined up in the pavilion. Yang Feng came from the middle and watched from a distance as nearly a hundred lamps were being lit on the table. The servants held these lamps high to guide the nobles in the army. As they moved back and forth, the red
The flames flickered and intertwined, like stars flowing in the world.
In fact, everyone invited has arrived. As a social banquet, there are not only Baibo's soldiers, but also celebrities from various famous families who accompanied him from Xuzhou. The total number of people is nearly two hundred, but many of them are not even Yang Feng.
They were very familiar with each other. Because there were too many people at the banquet, the banquet was simply divided into two venues. Officers with a salary of more than 600 shi and prominent officials from the county went to the pavilion to have a banquet, while officers with a salary of less than 600 shi and county officials had a banquet outside the pavilion.
Then more than a hundred personal guards guarded the courtyard, preventing ordinary people from coming and going.
The banquet begins.
Yang Feng was sitting in the chair. He saw the crowds in the courtyard and the warm atmosphere. He also tasted the delicious dishes and sweet wine. After three rounds of drinking, he felt quite happy. Some words came to his throat, and he seemed to be unwilling to spit them out. It happened that Chen Gui was here.
Shi came forward, raised his glass and toasted, and said slowly to him: "Since Ming Gong is here, you might as well say something. You all are here to listen."
This was exactly what Yang Feng thought. He nodded slightly, picked up the wine cup, and stood up to look around. When everyone saw this, they all knew that he had something to say, so the banquet became quiet. Only the spring night wind passed through the bamboo forest.
Make a rustling sound.
Yang Feng said: "I feel ashamed to say that when the chaos was first suppressed, Brother Han, Brother Dugu and I were defeated by Liu Bei and Chen Chong, so we had no choice but to leave Bingzhou. At that time, we had no friends and ran south in a hurry. We thought we had no way out and would die of thirst soon.
Then I heard that Linzi had a kingly spirit, so I passed Wuguan, fled to Nanyang, crossed Yuzhou, and settled in Guangling. It has been five years now. At first, we were ordered by Zhang Rao to resist Yuan Shu, but unexpectedly, Linzi was in chaos.
, the fate of destiny declined, the state promoted Brother Han as the shepherd and guard, and I as the general. Unexpectedly, I, a rebel in Xihe, have become as noble as I am today. Speaking of which, you are all my nobles."
When it came to this, everyone did not even dare to say it, but hearing the sincerity of this statement, it was inevitable to feel a little sad. They also heard Yang Feng continue to say: "I only lament that my talent and virtue are shallow and I cannot stay in this land with you. I have to leave my hometown."
People, I have caused you to leave your hometown, I hope you will not blame me."
Everyone present, whether they were veterans from Xihe or celebrities from Qingxu, were moved emotionally after hearing the words. They wiped away tears with their hands and were filled with sadness. Seeing that everyone was in a mood, Yang Feng changed his tone and said loudly: "When leaving Guanzhong, Yang
I swear that one day I will fight bravely and return to my homeland. Now you are in the same boat as me and are crossing north together. Yang Feng is also willing to swear that after crossing the river, I will be of the same mind as you and return south.
I will not give up until I kill Liu Bei!"
After that, he drank all the wine in one gulp and immediately threw down the cup. Just as he was about to continue speaking some heroic words, he suddenly heard someone not far away saying: "I don't know what Liu Bei failed to do to Brother Yang?"
Yang Feng was stunned for a moment. He felt that the voice sounded familiar, but before he could react, more than a hundred soldiers suddenly poured out from the house behind the pavilion. He could only hear the sound of armored weapons hitting each other, like a flood overflowing a bank.
, more than a hundred people surrounded the pavilion and immediately blocked all the entrances and exits.
When the soldiers outside the gate heard the movement in the pavilion, they knew something had happened. Immediately, some led most of them to rush into the pavilion. Others called out, "Whoever dares to kidnap Yang Shuai, come forward and kill him!"
But before he could rush to the door, he heard a cold voice coming from behind: "If you rush in, you will be guilty of the same crime as Yang Feng and others!"
The Baibo soldiers turned around and saw an eight-foot tall man standing behind him holding a knife, and then hundreds of people walked out of the refugees. They were either holding knives or bows and crossbows, and their sharp edges looked like blood under the red light.
Clear. One of the old soldiers recognized the identity of the big man and said in a voice: "It's Wei Wenchang!"
Wei Yan's reputation was so popular that after hearing this, the gatekeepers were all helpless. Only a few Huns took up their swords. Even though they knew that the situation was over, they still wanted to fight against the trapped beasts. They rushed through the crowd with their swords, and continued to fight on the way.
He was hit by several arrows until he was a few steps in front of Wei Yan, and then he was surrounded by the Han army and hacked several times before he fell to the ground and waited for death. The soldiers did not kill him immediately, but lifted him up, leaving half of them guarding the gate.
, cross the pavilion door and walk into the pavilion.
The celebrities in Xuzhou in the courtyard were secretly frightened when they saw hundreds of soldiers surrounding them inside and outside. Then, they saw a man Shi Shiran walking out from among the soldiers. Everyone was wearing leather armor, but he was the only one wearing iron armor. The workmanship was exquisite and the patterns were beautiful.
Meizhen is obviously a very noble person. When the old soldiers in Xihe saw him, they all looked ashamed and lowered their heads and did not dare to look at each other.
It is Liu Bei who is here.
At this time, Yang Feng was surrounded by several people. He wanted to resist, but the soldiers held his shoulders down and could not draw out the sword. He could only struggle with his hands, bumping with his head and biting with his mouth. One man saw the right opportunity.
, put a foot on his calf, and Yang Feng couldn't bear the pain. The soldiers took the opportunity to use their strength and finally pushed him to the ground. At this time, someone pressed on him again, and Yang Feng was no longer able to resist, so he could only let it go.
The Han soldiers tied him up and removed his weapons and knives.
The other generals in the courtyard, such as Dugu Qubei, Zheng Bao and others, were also captured in this way.
Liu Bei walked up to Yang Feng, first smiled softly at Chen Gui, who was not far away, and then lowered his head and said to Yang Feng: "Commander Yang, are you okay?"
