Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 123
After reading this letter, Feng Yao decided that as long as he could replace Chen Guo who was lying in the middle with his own people, it would be much easier to send troops.

There is another letter from Chen Dao, in which Chen Dao proposed to attack Pingyu City with the army.

……

Li Tong, who had just led the troops from Langling, saw the envoy sent by Feng Yao. After learning that Gong Du offered the city to surrender, he turned his army around without waiting to meet Gong Du, and directly attacked Wu Ba in ambush. Niushan's cottage, and deliberately exposed loopholes, let the bandits in Funiushan sneak away a few, and sent a message to Wu Ba who had already set off to fight in Zhaoling.

Wu Ba's attack on Ruling's Zhoucang did not take any advantage. On the contrary, he suffered a loss in the first day of the battle, losing more than 1000 soldiers and horses. Fighting to return to the army quickly, unexpectedly encountered an ambush by Li Tong on the way, and was defeated. More than 8000 soldiers were ambushed by Li Tong with 2000 casualties, and only more than [-] people escaped. Enter the northernmost part of the Funiu Mountains, and hide in the deep mountains around Songshan Mountain.

Since Li Tong destroyed Wu Ba's stronghold, he has gained both fame and fortune. Not only did he make great achievements in destroying the bandits, but he also captured nearly two thousand bandit soldiers, and seized a large amount of money, food and servants from Wu Ba's stronghold.

After the arrival of Gong Du's army, the Yellow Turban Army in Beiyichun surrendered without a fight. Nearly [-] Yellow Turban Army made the same choice as Gong Du.

Zhou Cang on the North Road was not so lucky. The Yellow Turban Army in Zhaoling refused to surrender. After besieging the city for three days, Zhou Cang could only launch a strong attack, losing nearly 3000 troops and killing [-] enemies. Part of the Yellow Turban Army fled, and more than [-] Yellow Turbans rushed out of the encirclement and threw themselves into Pingyu City.

On August 26, Yuan Si, Minister of Chen Guo appointed by Yuan Shu, arrived in Shen County, Runan. Lu Fan, the magistrate of Shen County, who had received Feng Yao's order earlier, received it, and mobilized [-] follow-up counties from Ruyin City. Soldiers, together with Yuan Si's [-] soldiers, attacked Chen Guo.

On the same day, Feng Yao's mother, Mrs. Feng, arrived at Ruyin City with dozens of maidservants, escorted by five hundred Youzhou cavalry archers led by her brother-in-law Huang Yi.

Chen Dao was ordered to go into the city to rest for one night, and took advantage of this time to adjust the troops in the city. In addition to the [-] soldiers handed over to Lu Fan, Ruyin still had more than [-] soldiers at this time, so four thousand were left to defend the city. , only brought a thousand elites, and set off with Mrs. Feng the next day.

Two days later, on August 29, Mrs. Feng, Chen Dao, and Huang Yi arrived at Xiyang City where Feng Yao was located.

At this time, Feng Yao's total army strength has reached [-] only in Yanyang City!Among them are the original [-], Gong Du sent [-] soldiers, Gong Du took away [-] and [-] are in the city, and the counties rushed to send [-] county soldiers, waiting for the next few days Two thousand were newly recruited in the process.

If you count the one thousand brought by Chen Dao and Huang Yi's five hundred cavalry archers, the total strength is more than 500.

As soon as Mrs. Feng saw Feng Yao, she immediately came over happily and took Feng Yao's hand, looked at Feng Yao from head to toe, and said: "My Yao'er has grown taller, and has reached the age to marry a wife and have children. It's..." While speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he found Gong Yinglian standing behind Feng Yao, "Hey! Miss! Can you come here and let me have a look?"

Although Mrs. Feng was asking a question, she jumped in front of Gong Yinglian in a flash, and she wanted to grab Gong Yinglian's hand to have a look.

Feng Yao was in a daze at the time, it was too late to stop, and Feng Yao didn't dare to shout loudly to stop his mother, he could only watch Madam Feng rushing towards Gong Yinglian, feeling great pain in his heart.

Feng Yao, his mother, Mrs. Feng's martial arts has long been known, and can only be described in one sentence, that is, disappearing like a ghost!Although Gong Yinglian's martial arts can be considered high-strength, it is still far behind her mother. If she meets her mother, I am afraid that Gong Yinglian will suffer a disadvantage.

"Yinglian! Be careful!" Feng Yao couldn't help reminding.

Gong Yinglian didn't understand, she just nodded her head in an emergency, expressing that she would not hurt Madam Feng rudely!At this time, Gong Yinglian didn't know that Mrs. Feng was Feng Yao's mother, and thought that Mrs. Feng was just the elder of Feng Yao's family!
But seeing Gong Yinglian quickly dodge and take a step back sideways, her hands shrank even more, not letting Mrs. Feng catch her.

"Huh!" Madam Feng snorted again, realizing that Gong Yinglian was also good at martial arts, an elusive smile flashed on her face, and then Madam Feng suddenly disappeared, and when she saw it again, Madam Feng was already smiling He held Gong Yinglian's left hand in his hand, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he finished Gong Yinglian's hand, let go of it again, and said, "That's right! The face of Wangfu Wangzi! Girl! Have you ever been married?"

It wasn't until this time that Gong Yinglian came to her senses, she let out an exclamation, took a few steps back again and again, then stretched out her left hand to look, it seemed that nothing was missing, then she breathed out, her gaze was uncertain.

"I?"

Gong Yinglian suddenly understood the meaning of Mrs. Feng's last words, and her face changed from being suspicious to shy in an instant, a blush flew onto her cheeks, and she lowered her head not daring to look at Mrs. Feng!

Feng Yao looked left and right, and he was mentally prepared in advance, so he didn't bring many people to greet him. There were only Chen Dao, Yang Wu, Zhao Wang, and Liu Shun around. Except for Yang Wu, Chen Dao and the other three knew Feng What is the relationship between Madam and Feng Yao!Not surprised by what just happened.

Yang Wu saw Mrs. Feng for the first time. Judging from Mrs. Feng's clothes and travel, she only guessed that Mrs. Feng was of extraordinary background. The reason why Feng Yao has always trusted him and asked him to welcome him together.

Feng Yao looked at the dozens of maids behind his mother, Mrs. Feng, with worried expressions.

"Yao'er, don't worry! They are all carefully selected by mother, and they will never dare to do anything against the master!" Madam Feng explained to Feng Yao with sharp eyes and a slight smile.

"Mother! You're still in the mansion with Yao'er to support the family. Yao'er has a lot to say!" Feng Yao's face was respectful, and every word and deed was extremely filial.

Mrs. Feng nodded and said: "Alright, let's go in first, but, Yao'er, can you answer my mother first, whose daughter is she?" Said and looked at Gong Yinglian who was standing a little far away, He smiled and said: "Yao'er, if she is not married yet, you must hurry up and accept her, don't be preempted by others!! I fell in love with this girl at the first glance!!"

Feng Yao's face was very embarrassed, but as a son, he couldn't keep quiet, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Mother, it's not the past now, your son is now the dignified governor of Runan, who dares to rob your son for a woman! "

"That's right! Mother forgot about this for a while! But..." Mrs. Feng still had a lot to say, she seemed to be particularly interested in Gong Yinglian!But Feng Yao hurriedly supported his mother, Madam Feng's arm, and pulled her away.

Gong Yinglian was slightly behind, following closely behind Feng Yao, but she didn't dare to get too close to Mrs. Feng, looking at Feng Yao and Mrs. Feng in front, her eyes were full of doubts!
In the evening, Feng Yao held a banquet, specially bringing his confidantes Chen Dao, Dai Ling, Xu Chu, Xu Ding, Zhi Yue, Wei Yan, Wu Hao, Deng Yang, Yang Wu, Liu Shun, Zhao Wang, and his family Mrs. Feng, Huang Yi, Gong Yinglian, All of them were invited. Originally, Feng Yao didn't want to reveal his identity to everyone so early, at least he would wait until Li Tong was wiped out and Runan was completely in his hands.
