It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand Bai Tu's logic. In short, Zhang Xiu saw that Bai Tu wanted to send troops to intervene, and blood suddenly rushed to his head - what is a God-given opportunity? This is it!
Originally, the Chu State was just established, and unless the current situation changed, there would be no major wars in recent years.
Haven’t you seen that even the suppression of bandits has become popular?
Yang Feng......
Zhang Xiu knew Zhang Xiu. After all, they were both under the banner of the Xiliang Army. However, Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji was from the Xiliang Clan, while Yang Feng surrendered to the Yellow Turban Clan.
In terms of quality as a general, Zhang Xiu couldn't even look down on Yang Feng, but now...is it the time to pick an opponent?
According to the military information, there are more than 10,000 main troops on Yang Feng's route, thousands of front troops, and nearly 20,000 large and small troops. It is very likely that this battle will be the largest battle in the next few years, and it will take place in the north of Wancheng.
Two hundred miles away, isn't this a God-given opportunity?
Especially recently, there is a new army in Wancheng. It is regarded as an armament test product of the Ministry of Industry. It has not really started mass production. The quantity is very small. Because Wancheng has a lot of cavalry, it was brought to him for preliminary testing and to record the feedback from the soldiers.
I'm just worried that I don't have a chance to practice.
"Zhang Xiu listened to the order and immediately ordered his troops to set off... Be sure to state the position of our great Chu. It is a guard mission to protect the people of Xu County. You will be the vanguard general, and I will personally hold the battle for you." Bai Tu ordered.
Intervening in the confrontation between Fu Han and Wei at this time was indeed contrary to Chu's grand strategy.
But think about it, the reason why Cao Bang hasn't returned to the north yet is because he has been delayed for several months for the sake of the Chu State's literary and art industry!
"Here!" Zhang Xiu accepted the order excitedly and left.
Bai Tu, on the other hand, had no idea. After Zhang Xiu left, he asked Lu Bu: "Father, am I being a little reckless?"
"Reckless? Hahaha, don't worry, just Yang Feng can beat him into submission before other forces in the Han Dynasty can react. As long as we win quickly enough, they dare to choose to take the initiative to start a war with us? And
Let me tell you, you can use this excuse to directly occupy Xu City and cut off the Han Dynasty!" Lu Bu obviously did not think Bai Tu was reckless.
Bai Tu grinned when he heard this: "Although Xu County is no longer the capital, there is no danger to defend and it is under pressure from three sides, so let's forget it..."
"It's good to be under pressure. Whoever dares to attack will have an excuse... That's all, I just mentioned it." Lu Bu said with some disappointment.
At the same time, by coincidence, Xia Houjuan and others actually encountered Yang Feng's troops who were raiding Xu County!
After all, Yang Feng was born in the Yellow Turbans. Even though he had been cleansed for a long time, the atmosphere under his command had already been established.
Although we won't blatantly plunder and hijack the people now, it is normal to go around the countryside for pranks and blackmail. As for running into caravans...
If it is in a settled territory, a normal caravan is doing business, and is met by his army, the meeting will be divided into 20% at most, but at the moment in Xu County... just pluck the geese, there is no need to worry, it will be difficult to check in the future anyway
Prove evidence.
It was precisely because Xia Houyuan knew about this event and had received news before that he estimated that Xia Houjuan would come back soon, so he couldn't help but take the initiative.
However, the caravan disguised as Yang Xiu and others encountered a group of rebel soldiers on their way back to Xucheng.
Although the dozens of guards all had wooden and stone armors, after they were revealed, they attracted more attention. They repelled the small group of rebels at any time, but after being besieged, there were many guards before they reached Xu City.
Killed, captured...
What's worse is that Xia Houjuan had already changed into women's clothes at this time - in fact, before leaving Chu State and after bidding farewell to Bai Tu, he changed back into women's clothes and walked around the street twice.
However, Bai Tu was looking for a literary job at that time, so naturally there would be no chance encounters.
When Yang Feng's soldiers saw the woman, they started talking obscenely. In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, Xia Houjuan immediately identified himself!
If there is no conflict at the beginning, it is natural not to reveal your identity and go back quietly. However, they have been captured. If these bandits are not restrained, who knows what they will do...
Sure enough, when they heard that she was Cao Cao's confidant and that the woman was Xia Houyuan's adopted daughter, these bandits did not dare to move lightly. Instead, they escorted them to see Yang Feng first. After all, they just wanted to take over Xu County, not to start a complete war with Wei.
They can't afford this relationship.
This made Yang Feng finally understand, after being confused for a long time, why his former army encountered Xia Houyuan's counterattack. It seemed... it wasn't because Wei Guo really wanted to protect Xu County!
"Hahaha, it seems that you and Mr. Xiahou are really like father and daughter. No wonder he broke the tacit understanding and suddenly sent troops!" Yang Feng was relieved, but also a little surprised.
He was relieved because although he brought more than 10,000 main troops, if Wei really had any strategic plan to defend Xu City, these people might not be enough.
But now that we know that Xia Houyuan was just trying to save his daughter, then... Xu Cheng still only has more than 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't do anything wrong, so what else is there to be afraid of?
What surprised me was that this noble daughter of the Xiahou family, who had a close relationship with Xiahou Yuan, actually fell into his hands. This... was really a blessing from God!
That Zhang Yan has a pretty boy with ulterior motives, and now he is always on top of him. Liu Bei relies on the strength of his troops and horses, and he seems to have made new plans recently. He seems to be modest, but in fact he looks down on Yang Feng. As for Ma Teng, Han Sui...
After all, they have the foundation of Xiliang, and he can't compare with Liu Zhang, let alone Liu Zhang. Yang Feng is at the bottom among the six feudal lords who assisted the Han Dynasty.
And now with Xia Houjuan's words...
Xia Houjuan looked at Yang Feng's eyes, his heart sank, and he managed to maintain his composure as a writer.
"Yes, yes, my wife unfortunately passed away last year and is looking for a noble daughter to rekindle her relationship. Miss Xiahou and I are in love, and we can accomplish good things today. Tomorrow, we can go to the battle with me to meet Mr. Xiahou... Bah!"
Proposing marriage to Mr. Xiahou, hahaha..." Yang Feng was even more elated when he saw that Xiahou Juan was still pretty.
Although it is impossible for the Xiahou family to be alienated, let alone to defect to the Fu Han, as long as the marriage is established, Yang Feng will be the link between the forces of the Fu Han and the Xiahou family!
As for raping civilian girls... Although Yang Feng had to clear his name for a few years after escorting the Han Emperor back east, he still respected his identity and maintained a certain personality. However, the situation is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change.
After all, he was a Yellow Turban rebel when he was young, and he was not a sentimental part of the Yellow Turban Army. He made his fortune by burning, killing, and looting. He usually restrained himself a little, but it was because he had the baggage of his identity that the temptation was not enough, so he could still tolerate it.
"How dare you! You dare to do this nonsense. I would rather die in the sword. In the future, my uncle... and His Highness the King of Chu will kill you in pieces!" Although Xia Houjuan was frightened in his heart, he knew that fear could not solve the problem.
Force yourself to calm down.
"Well? What does this have to do with the King of Chu?" Yang Feng originally wanted to ignore her threat. After all, he is the old Yellow Turban. I don't know how many times he has seen the chaste and fierce woman, and he doesn't know how many disasters he has caused. But he is not afraid of this kind of threat, and he still thinks about it first.
Just give him a status and slowly soften his attitude in the future.
But when he heard that King Chu... Yang Feng instinctively felt a little scared.
Xia Houjuan was paused when she heard the words. She thought of it and mentioned it, but now... what should I say?
The friendship between me and the King of Chu, who are brothers and sisters and almost become sworn sworn friends?
