Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 175

"Dai Ling, Xiongwei still needs you to lead it! And this time, in order to speed up the journey, I plan to take only the cavalry, and I can reach Puyang City within a day." Feng Yao said.

Dai Ling thought about it, yes, if they were all cavalry, even if they encountered enemy soldiers, it would be very easy to avoid them, so I won't say more.

After convincing the generals, Feng Yao did not stop, and immediately made an appointment with Xu Chu and Wei Yan to attack, and set it in two days later, on the night of the full moon on September [-]th!

After Feng Yao and Gong Yinglian bid farewell, they summoned Yuan Yi as a guide. They followed Yang Wu and other hundreds of riders overnight, and quietly rushed to the outside of Puyang City overnight.

When Puyang was still a few miles away, Yuan Bo was ordered to enter the city alone, Feng Yao ordered his relatives to rest for a while before continuing on the road.

The villages within a few miles near Puyang are almost uninhabited. After years of wars, the civilians within this area have either moved to the city or left their own villages.

Just when they were about to reach Puyang City, several scouts suddenly jumped out from behind a dilapidated residential building, stretched their bows and asked, "Who are you?"

These people were dressed in Lu Bujun's attire, each holding a big bow in their hands and aiming at Feng Yao.

Feng Yao hurriedly reined in his horse, looked at the leader of a big man, and shouted in disbelief: "Li Jin?"

"It's you? Brother Feng?" Li Jin was taken aback suddenly, and looked at Feng Yao carefully, a little afraid to recognize him.

"Isn't it me! Brother Li, when did you become a scout?" Feng Yao took off his helmet while talking, revealing his full face.

When Li Jin saw that it was indeed Feng Yao, he was overjoyed, and immediately turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "It's my own, quickly put away the bow and arrow!"

The scouts put away their bows and arrows as ordered, and Li Jin greeted him joyfully. Before reaching the horse, he cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if Mr. Feng's presence is here, so I offended you just now!"

Feng Yao jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand to hold Li Jin's hand, and said excitedly: "Brother Li, there is no relationship between us as subordinates, so don't talk about such hypocrisy!"

Li Jin nodded, and said: "Master Feng can still remember me and treat me as a big brother, I am already very satisfied, but even so, etiquette cannot be discarded, otherwise it will damage the prestige of Lord Feng!"

Feng Yao knew that Li Jin was a very disciplined person, so he didn't force it. As for Li Jin, he could call himself whatever he wanted, as long as his sincerity remained unchanged, so he took Li Jin's hand and greeted Yang Wu and other relatives behind him. Followed by: "Brothers, this is what I told you about, Brother Li Jin and Li who once had a great favor to me!"

Seeing that Feng Yao respected Li Jin so much, Yang Wu and other relatives didn't dare to trust Feng Yao so much. They all jumped off their horses and met Li Jin one by one. After seeing Feng Yao's followers one by one, Li Jin called out his scouts and said loudly, "This is Feng Yao, the prefect of Runan who has recently gained a reputation!"

"I've met Lord Feng!" Li Jin's scouts saluted Feng Yao respectfully and enviously.

Feng Yao was very happy, and he knew how to express his feelings towards these people, but when he thought that when he was a soldier, what he loved the most was to get promoted and get rich. The officer himself could not give them anything, but Feng Yao could still be satisfied with this money, so he hurriedly To Yang Wudao: "Get this money quickly, and reward them with [-] coins as a meeting gift!"

Yang Wu obeyed, and took out the silver taels from the horse's back. One thousand qian was regarded as one tael of silver, so Yang Wu directly distributed one tael of silver to each scout, and Feng Yao personally took out a whole ingot of five taels of silver, and stuffed it into Li Jin. In his hand, he said: "Brother Li, this is a little greeting gift for brothers! Don't be disgusted with Brother Li!"

Li Jin declined and said: "Mr. Feng, we cannot accept this money. We have an order to not accept money from outsiders!" Li Jin did not know the relationship between Feng Yao and Lu Bu at this time, and he was still serving Feng Yao from Lu Bu's army. He was worried about the matter, how dare he accept Feng Yao's money.

Feng Yao said with a smile: "Brother Li, what you said is wrong. From now on, you and I are no outsiders! It's okay to take this money. If Marquis Wen knows that I sent it, not only will he not blame him, but he will be happy for it .”

He said again: "I came here to form an alliance with Marquis Wen! I was just about to trouble you to report it. If the money is not accepted, I have no choice but to turn around and go back!"

Only then did Li Jin accept the money, and said happily, "Mr. Feng, are you really here to form an alliance with us?"

"Of course, otherwise, do you think I ran all the way outside Puyang City to find out about the military situation? Hehehe!" Feng Yao patted Li Jin on the shoulder and laughed.

"It's so good! It's so good!" Li Jin said again and again, looking at Feng Yao's sincere face, and after a while two lines of tears came out, choked up and said: "Mr. Feng, it's a pity that Wu Junhou can't see it this day !"

Feng Yao knew that he was referring to Wu Liang, the former team leader. Geng Zuoshi had mentioned this matter to Feng Yao, but Feng Yao had no choice but to pretend to know it for the first time, and immediately asked with astonishment and sadness. Said: "Brother Li, do you mean Brother Wu Liang?"

Li Jin wiped away his tears, and nodded in grief and indignation, "Brother Wu was murdered by that thief Cao Cao! I really hope that one day I can see the tragic situation of Cao Cao's decapitated body!"

Feng Yao sighed and comforted: "Brother Li, we should cheer up, defeating the enemy is the most important thing!"

Li Jinchang took a deep breath, and said again: "Mr. Feng, follow me, I will report to you!" Then he ordered a scout under his opponent loudly: "Hurry up and notify General Cao! The prefect of Runan is here! "

The scout was ordered to fly away, and Li Jin ordered the other scouts to lead the way, leading Feng Yao towards the south gate.

Along the way, Li Jin explained to Feng Yao: "I'm not actually a scout, but because there are not enough scouts in the city, I came out of the city to patrol temporarily. By the way, Mr. Feng, General Cao is just in charge of guarding the city now." Nancheng Gate! I will definitely be surprised when I see you!"

Before Feng Yao and his party reached the city gate, Cao Xing immediately came up with dozens of soldiers after learning about it. After some vulgar ceremony, Cao Xing sighed: "Feng Fujun! I didn't expect to say goodbye that day. At that time, you have already become the lord of a county and have become famous all over the world!"

Feng Yao said: "General Cao! I dare not forget General Cao's great kindness in the past!"

Cao Xing placed Feng Yao in the city, and attracted many people's attention along the way, especially those who knew Feng Yao before, all of them looked envious. Although Feng Yao wanted to have a conversation with them, this is in the city, so it's not easy to have too many people Arousing Lu Bu's suspicion, he could only smile and nod his head, even so, those old acquaintances were very excited.

Out of etiquette, although Lu Bu already knew that Feng Yao was coming, he was far away from welcoming Feng Yao. He only opened the middle door to welcome Feng Yao into the mansion when Feng Yao and his party arrived in front of the county mansion, and immediately prepared a banquet to entertain Feng Yao.
