Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 170

Not long after, Yuan Ao brought two thin teenagers, one big and one small, to meet Feng Yao.

After the two teenagers met Feng Yao, after a while Feng Yu said he was sick and unwell and went back to rest.

Feng Yao asked curiously: "Mr. Yuan County, you still have a son, why didn't you call them together?"

Yuan Huan's expression darkened, and he ordered Yuan Ao to take his younger brother out to play together.

"My eldest son has been dead for a year, and my second son has been plagued by illnesses since he was a child. He can't leave his mouth with medicine every day. Most of my meager salary is used for his treatment!" Yuan Huan said with a downcast expression.

Feng Yao expressed deep sympathy, so he ordered Dai Ling and others to take the silver taels, and wanted to reward Yuan Huan to subsidize his family, but Yuan Huan resolutely refused, which made Feng Yao greatly admired, and he knew Yuan Huan's character in his heart.

After returning to the mansion, Feng Yao handed over the whole matter of farming to Yuan Huan, and he trusted Yuan Huan very much.

The personal attendant came to report again, saying that someone asked to see him, and Feng Yao ordered him to come. The person who asked to see him was a middle-aged man about forty years old. He was not tall and a little thin, but his eyes were very clear and piercing.

His surname is Xie, his name is Zhen, and his style name is Ziwei. He was originally from Zhaoling in Runan. Come vote now.

Feng Yao talked with Xie Zhen for a while, and found that Xie Zhen was very knowledgeable and had some unique insights into farming, so he ordered him to assist Yuan Huan in managing farming.

Yuan Ao, the son of Yuan Huan, was also reused by Feng Yao. Feng Yao handed him over to Liu Shun, asking Liu Shun to cultivate his abilities in all aspects, and Yuan Ao readily accepted.

Two days later, scouts came to report that Zang Hong, the prefect of Dongjun, had declared a break with Yuan Shao because of Yuan Shao's siege of Yongqiu and Zhang Chao, and had led his troops to fight Yuan Shao.

Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou, led the army to attack Runan from the upper road and occupied Chengfu County. Chen Gui, the Prime Minister of Pei State, attacked from the lower road and occupied Shansang County.

Father Yuan Shu has also sent envoys to reassure Feng Yao about the affairs in the east. He has appointed Shu Shao as the Minister of Pei, and ordered General Zhang Xun to lead an army of [-] to attack Pei!Liang Guo.

After receiving this information, Feng Yao immediately ordered Wei Yan to lead [-] soldiers to explore the way ahead, and personally led more than [-] troops to follow closely, and ordered Gong Du to sit in Fule and deal with all matters behind.

The one who besieged Yongqiu was Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang, who led [-] soldiers. When he heard that Feng Yao was leading the army, he immediately sent envoys to question Feng Yao. Where, set up camp.

Yan Liang's subordinates advised Yan Liang to take advantage of the fact that Feng Yao's camp was just established, and the army was exhausted, so he could divide [-] soldiers into a surprise attack at night. Yan Liang said: "Although Feng Yao came from far away, he must be well-prepared. It would be too risky for [-] soldiers to rob the camp. It's very difficult to succeed, why don't you wait for me to mobilize the besieging army tomorrow, divide [-], and then let [-] cavalry directly crush it, Feng Yao's mob will definitely be defeated!" Yan Liang did not accept the suggestion of his subordinates.

Feng Yao asked the military adviser, Xu Shu said: "My lord, please order Wei Yan and Wang Hu to lead the army to attack Yan Liang's camp in the south of the city, and we will surely win a big victory! Yan Liang thought that our army was tired from the distance, and today they will only hide in the camp to defend, not I thought our army would take the initiative to rob the camp!"

According to Feng Yao's plan, he ordered the army to pretend to be cautious during the day and spread more banners, but in fact he secretly ordered the soldiers who participated in the robbery to rest before dark. , Wang Hu led a surprise attack, broke into the enemy's Nanzhai, killed nearly 300 enemies, and his own side only lost less than [-] people, and returned with a big victory.

The next day, Yan Liang was furious. Apart from leaving some soldiers and horses to continue besieging the city, he personally led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, hoping to defeat Feng Yao in a single battle.

When the two armies met, Yan Liang, relying on his high martial arts skills and strong armor, stood in front of the battle with a big knife and yelled at Feng Yao, challenging Feng Yao. Feng Yao ordered his archers to shoot at them, but Yan Liang was not afraid at all. Pulling out the arrow, he scolded Feng Yao for being cowardly like a mouse, only daring to hide in the formation.

Feng Yao was about to order the army to fight Yan Liang. Xu Shu said: "The other soldiers are well equipped. If we fight recklessly, our army will suffer heavy losses! It is better to order a fierce general to fight. If we can win, then let the army press up. The enemy soldiers will be defeated!"

Feng Yao agreed, and when he was about to order Xu Chu to fight, his subordinate Lei Xuce immediately stepped forward and asked Feng Yao for orders: "My lord, my subordinates are willing to go back and behead Yan Liang!"

Lei Xu was one of the first group of generals who accompanied Ji Ling to follow Feng Yao. He considered himself highly skilled in martial arts and capable of leading troops. However, Lei Xu never understood why Feng Yao couldn't reuse him. During the long war, he only set up some insignificant troops. Xiaogong, the position is still the position of the trilogy supervisor, and the rate is no more than [-] elite soldiers and [-] miscellaneous soldiers.

Now seeing Yan Liang shouting, he thought it was his chance to become famous, so he took the initiative to invite Ying.

Feng Yao glanced at Lei Xu, and the plot recorded in the history books emerged in his mind: Lei Bo, Lei Xu, Chen Lan and others rebelled against Yuan Shu, robbed Yuan Shu's food and grass as bandits, and later refused to help Yuan Shu's food and grass, causing Yuan Shu to vomit blood from hunger and die!

Feng Yao nodded slowly, agreeing to Lei Xu's challenge, Lei Xu was overjoyed, and rode out to kill Yan Liang, but Yan Liang cut him off his horse.

Yan Liang laughed loudly, "Feng Yao! Why do you only have such vulnerable idiots in your army? If you know you are invincible and surrender immediately, I can still save your life. I'm afraid it will be too late for you to regret it!"

Yan Liangqi was victorious and Feng Yao was defeated, the morale of his men was greatly boosted, but Feng Yao's army, all the generals gasped for breath and did not dare to fight.

Seeing Lei Xu being beheaded, Feng Yao felt rather complicated. Although he didn't know whether he was right or not, he seemed to be relieved deep in his heart. These three traitors have always been like a fish bone. Stuck in Feng Yao's throat.

When the army first started, there was a shortage of generals in the army, and to establish prestige in the army, it was impossible to drag out and kill the generals for no reason, so Feng Yao has always used to suppress the growth of these three rebel generals, try not to give them The good opportunity for them to make meritorious deeds made them fall into unknown teenagers in the end. Even if they wanted to rebel at that time, it would have little effect.

However, what I didn't expect was that Lei Xu actually wanted to die on his own initiative. Of course, Feng Yao would not stop such an opportunity.

Lei Xu was beheaded, and everyone didn't know Feng Yao's thoughts at this time, Wei Yan said angrily: "My lord, Wen Chang is willing to avenge General Lei!"

Feng Yao analyzed it and found that Wei Yan's martial arts skills were much higher than Lei Xu's, so there shouldn't be any danger, so he agreed: "Master Wen, you must be careful when fighting, if you lose, you don't have to fight to the death!"

Wei Yan responded eagerly, but Feng Yao was still worried, so he sent Wang Hu out to fight Yan Liang at the same time as Wei Yan.
