Yang Feng's strength surpassed that of Pei Yuanshao and reached the level of a second-rate general, which was within Zhang Yan's expectation.After all, the opponent is also one of Yuan Shu's seven strong generals in the future, and even if his strength is slightly inferior to Ji Ling, he will definitely not be inferior by much.
It's just that he really forgot that besides Yang Feng, Xu Huang, the fifth best general in the future, was also from Yang County, and he was mixing with Yang Feng in the Baibo Yellow Turban team at the moment.
At present, the time has not yet reached the period of the Three Kingdoms in the later generations, so the strength of many generals has not yet reached its peak.In Zhang Yan's perception, Xu Huang should at least be at the peak of a second-rate general, or even a first-rate general.It's just that it seems that the opponent who has not yet taken refuge in Cao Cao has obviously not yet entered his golden age.
With his lips pursed tightly, Zhang Yan subconsciously calculated how likely he was to persuade the other party to surrender, or capture him alive.
Compared to recruiting Xu Huang after he has reached the peak in the future, it is obviously much less difficult to recruit him now before he has grown up, and then slowly train him later.
"How? My Wei family is considered to have some strength in Hedong. The thief Yang only thinks that he has tens of thousands of troops and a high wall can sit firmly on Mount Tai, but he doesn't know that half of the tenants in Hedong are old with my Wei family. More than one-tenth of them have received favors from the Wei family."
"Now, with just a word from the general, we can drive those who pretend to join the Yellow Turban to open the city gate and welcome the general and heavenly master into the city."
"Then, the general only needs to break through the Yellow Turban defenses in the city one by one according to this picture. I think Bandit Yang, even if he is excellent in martial arts, must be helpless and unable to fight back."
Hearing Wei Ke's words, Zhang Yan's eyes gradually brightened.
……
At the same time that Zhang Yan and Wei Ji were conspiring to open the city gate to welcome Zhang Yan's trilogy into Anyi, a lively banquet was also being held in the Governor's Mansion of Hedong as scheduled.
Taking a sip of fine wine, Pei Yuanshao took a bite of the steak in his hand, and at the same time observed the two people sitting at the top of the banquet hall with exaggerated expressions.
I saw the leader, who was more than seven feet tall, with a goatee, and looked at him with a trace of vigilance that could not be concealed. It was Pei Yuanshao who Zhang Yanqian told Wan to pay more attention to before going to the banquet. Yang Feng, the leader of the Yellow Turban Bandit.
And at the first place under Yang Feng, a tall and burly young general who was eight feet tall was sitting there drinking alone.Although Yang Feng didn't specifically introduce the other party, but by observing the callused hands of the young general, Pei Yuanshao dared to conclude that the other party was the same as himself, must be a fighting general in the battlefield, and his strength was probably not inferior to his own.
After chewing the overcooked mutton in his mouth, Pei Yuanshao swallowed it with a snort of fine wine.At this moment, facing the two generals on the other side, he couldn't help but recall Zhang Yan's advice to him before he left.
……
"Old Pei, don't worry, after the banquet, you can eat and drink freely."
"Then Yang Fengnai is a son of a big family in Yang County, Hedong. He has his own set of rules. Theoretically, as long as we don't take the initiative to attack, the other party will most likely not attack us."
Thinking of Zhang Yan's evaluation of Yang Feng, Pei Yuanshao couldn't help but look more at Yang Feng who was sitting at the top with a cautious expression.
According to what Zhang Yan said, this Yang Feng was brave and careless, and he was jealous of evil all his life.Now he joins the Yellow Turban, not because he is forced by life, but because he is very dissatisfied with the many decrees of the Han court today, and wants to obtain an official position for himself by forcing the palace.
Although it is unavoidable that some generals are greedy in character, Yang Feng has his own most basic values in the face of major events. He and another yellow scarf general named "Han Siam" can be said to be rare loyal ministers in the Han Dynasty up.
"Great loyal minister?"
Pei Yuanshao couldn't figure it out. Since Zhang Yan said he was a loyal minister, why did they rebel against the Han court?
He glanced at Yang Feng again with the drunkenness, what Pei Yuanshao didn't notice was that the other party was also taking advantage of the staggered cups at the banquet to keep looking at him who was a little drunk.
The body is solid, the hands are strong and powerful, and the tiger's mouth is covered with calluses. It should be a weapon such as a sword that mainly chops.
The right arm is far more muscular than the left arm. This deformed development is obviously not a result of exercise, and it should have the strength of a third-rate general.
The existence of "Qi" in the body is very weak, and there is no sign of active exercise, and there is a high probability that he has not reached the level of a second-rate general like himself.
In just a short while, Yang Feng, whose own strength is far superior to that of the opponent, has already judged the general range of Pei Yuanshao's strength:
It must have been at the third-rate level for a while, but not at the second-rate level.Even compared to Xu Huang, who is also third-rate, Pei Yuanshao obviously has some shortcomings.
"It looks pretty weak... Why doesn't Gongming let me take the initiative to take down the opponent?"
Depressedly, Yang Feng took a sip of the remaining wine in the glass. Yang Feng turned to look at Xu Huang next to him, but found that the other party was also silent at this time, and his eyes were wandering around himself and Pei Yuanshao.
After a long time, Xu Huang gave Yang Feng a look as if he had confirmed something.And Yang Feng naturally noticed the opponent's small movements at the first time, and at the same time had a plan in mind.
Yang Feng, who has partnered with Xu Huang for many years, knew that the look in his eyes meant "continue to test".Therefore, he put away his desire to fight, and turned to Pei Yuanshao's direction and asked:
"Pei Shuai, you have joined the Yellow Turban for a while, and you can be regarded as our senior in Taiping Dao. Instead of bringing a group of brothers to live and sleep, and go through hardships every day, why don't you join our Baibo Valley?"
"Based on Pei Shuai's martial arts, he will definitely stand out among the white waves and yellow scarves, and it's just easy to do."
Chapter 18 "Simple and Honest"
"Join the Baibo Valley lineage?"
Hearing Yang Feng's words, Pei Yuanshao couldn't help laughing. At the same time, according to Zhang Yan's instructions before he came, he turned to Yang Feng who was on the main seat and said:
"Food and sleep in the open? Then General Yang really underestimated me, Old Pei."
"Don't look at me, Lao Pei, who is now traveling all over the world with more than 9000 brothers, but we usually live a chic life!"
"If you want me to say, you have to join us, Baibo Huangjin. Not only you, General Yang, but also the general sitting across from you, should also join my old Pei. That would be the best."
Showing a carefree look, Pei Yuanshao was not afraid of offending the other party.
He knew that if Zhang Yan could find some way to break the city, he would enter into a hostile relationship with the other party no matter what.And if Zhang Yan couldn't find a way to break through the city, then he would probably return to Luoyang with Zhang Yan after buying food and grass tomorrow morning, and there would be no more interaction with these people.
After figuring this out, Pei Yuanshao naturally chatted with Yang Feng all the time, revealing from time to time that he had a backer behind him.But once Yang Feng took the initiative to ask, he immediately kept silent.
Time passed little by little, just when Yang Feng was a little impatient and asked Xu Huang repeatedly with his eyes if he wanted to end the banquet altogether, a messenger suddenly ran in from outside the banquet hall.
"Duke Yang, it's not good!"
"The granary in the city suddenly caught fire, and it has spread to the vicinity of the brothers' tents!"
Regardless of whether it was a breach of etiquette at the moment, the messenger knelt down on one knee as soon as he came in, and then reported loudly to Yang Fenghui who was the innermost one.
"what?"
Standing up from the seat with a "shua", Yang Feng immediately looked at Pei Yuanshao's position, trying to get a clue from the other's expression.But to Yang Feng's surprise, at this moment, Pei Yuanshao's face was neither overly calm, nor happy that the scheme had succeeded, but rather bewildered and bewildered.
"Isn't the granary blocked by the military? Why did it suddenly catch fire!?"
Since the messenger didn't deliberately control his voice just now, all the senior yellow turban generals who participated in the banquet at this moment have all heard the news of the fire in the granary, and the banquet hall has long been in chaos.
Some were anxious to go back to fight the fire, some were worried that their tents would be affected by the fire, and many thoughtful generals flocked to ask if someone came in at night, intending to set fire to cause riots, and then attacked the city.
For a moment, Yang Feng only felt that the expression on Pei Yuanshao's face was no different from that of those yellow-turban generals who were bewildered.
"quiet!"
Just as the entire banquet hall was buzzing like a swarm of bees in chaos, a loud voice suddenly exploded in the hall like a sound wave, sweeping away all the noise in an instant, even the eyes of everyone, They also concentrated on the general who made the sound in the hall.
It was Xu Huang who had been pouring and drinking by himself without showing his presence too much.
Seeing everyone looking at him one after another, Xu Huang did not continue to speak, but cast a questioning look at Yang Feng.The two looked at each other, then Xu Huang nodded, Yang Feng stopped paying so much attention to Pei Yuanshao, and instead focused on the fire in the granary, and began to order everyone to mobilize the army in an orderly manner to suppress the fire.
"What a coincidence... what a coincidence."
Sitting down slowly, Xu Huang muttered in a low voice while stroking his beard.
It doesn't catch fire in the morning and doesn't catch fire in the evening, but it happens that the fire broke out on the night when Pei Yuanshao and his group entered the city.If it weren't for the fact that Pei Yuanshao's expression didn't show any flaws, Xu Huang felt that the other party had written the words "I did it" clearly on his face.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Feng has now led people out of the main hall of the prefect's mansion, and Xu Huang has become the only person in charge here.He cupped his hands in Pei Yuanshao's direction with an apologetic face, and then said loudly:
"Today's sudden fire is urgent, I can't accompany Pei Shuai to have fun, and I hope Pei Shuai will be happy."
Xu Huang's gaze was fixed on Pei Yuanshao. Although he still had some doubts about Pei Yuanshao's innocence, and felt that this was a moth made by the other party, but since there was no evidence, he couldn't forcefully slap Pei Yuanshao's face.
Anyway, he is also the commander of the Yellow Turban Daqu with nearly [-] soldiers.If Pei Yuanshao was in danger, nearly ten thousand people thought of their old feelings and attacked the city wall of Anyi regardless of life and death, then Xu Huang and Yang Feng could be said to have suffered a disaster without reason.
After thinking again and again, Xu Huang finally decided to see off the guests behind closed doors.And Pei Yuanshao obviously also knew that the current situation was special, so he couldn't help but stay here and continue to eat and drink, so he waved his hand in Xu Huang's direction knowingly, and didn't ask him to force the guests off, so he left the banquet hall voluntarily.
……
Walking out of the prefect's mansion, Pei Yuanshao felt the cool evening wind blowing on his body, and the hesitation in his heart did not dissipate for a long time.
He heard someone report a fire in the banquet hall just now, the astonishment on his face was not all faked.Although Zhang Yan told him that he had the idea of dismantling the city from the inside out, he didn't mention to Pei Yuanshao how he would contact him who was attending the banquet.
So until now when he left the prefect's mansion, Pei Yuanshao only thought that the other party happened to be on fire, and he was just unlucky to be involved in it.
Walking on the street outside the prefect's mansion, Pei Yuanshao watched countless soldiers carrying buckets running back and forth, and from time to time there were one or two screams of pain coming from the direction of the fire in the distance.
"Hey, these guys are really unlucky, there is not a single usable well near the granary."
Scratching the back of his head, Pei Yuanshao laughed out loud as he looked at the exhausted and panting soldiers.
Water conservancy projects in ancient times were not as convenient and fast as modern ones.Once a fire broke out somewhere in the city, if there were no water storage tanks around, the firefighters would even have to carry buckets and walk several miles away to carry water to put out the fire.
Therefore, at this time, most of the soldiers in Anyi City carried buckets or basins, and went back and forth between the water well inside the prefect's mansion and the granary fire scene.
Quickly walking towards his residence in Anyi City, just as Pei Yuanshao accelerated past the corner of a nearby street, a dark figure suddenly rushed out of the darkness, knocking him staggering on the spot.
"you……"
Subconsciously, Pei Yuanshao opened his mouth to scold.But when he stood firm and looked up, he found that the figure was the soldier who had just entered the banquet hall to report the fire.
At this moment, the soldier did not go to fight the fire with the others, but stayed at the corner, as if he was waiting for Pei Yuanshao to come over.
"you are?"
Pei Yuanshao asked a little puzzled, but saw the soldier opened his mouth and hurriedly said to him:
"General Pei, please come with me."
"General Zhang is waiting for you outside the city right now."
The moonlight shone on the soldier's face, and it was a young and honest face that caught Pei Yuanshao's eyes.
Chapter 19 Planning
In Anyi City, the heavy night has faded, and a touch of white gradually illuminates the eastern sky.
At this moment, the time has come to the third quarter of Yin time, which is the most sleepy time of the day.
In the military barracks in the north of the city, the snoring of the Yellow Turbans from the Yellow River kept coming and going, and even the guards who were responsible for the security work leaned against the tents with their own weapons and closed their eyes to rest.
For some reason, fires broke out in the granary and treasury in Anyi city since the midnight last night, and the fire quickly spread to the surrounding camps.In order to suppress and put out the fire, almost all the yellow turbans worked hard all night with their superiors.
It wasn't until the end of the ugliness that everyone gradually returned to the tent and fell asleep with exhausted faces.
"Gongming, could it be that...these are all coincidences?"
In the prefect's mansion, Yang Fengzheng, who hadn't slept all night, stared at his scarlet eyes, trying to concentrate his energy so that he would not fall asleep.
Different from those grass-roots yellow scarves that slept peacefully after the fire was extinguished, because Yang Feng and Xu Huang were worried that the fire might be the prelude to the siege by someone with a heart, so in order to beware of possible attacks at any time after the fire, they just pulled A group of soldiers who were forced to be on duty at night sat in the prefect's mansion with big eyes and small eyes, waiting for a full hour.
Now the sky has begun to turn white, but the expected attack from the opponent has not arrived yet.Even the soldiers who were sent to investigate the cause of the fire had already returned to the prefect's mansion and put a report on Yang Feng's desk.
It roughly means that "the strong wind blows over the oil lamp and causes a fire", and "the dry spring wind causes the fire to expand rapidly".
"Hey...Mr. Yang, it seems that we are indeed a little too nervous."
Sitting next to Yang Feng, Xu Huang also looked exhausted at this time.It's just that he is better than young and powerful. Apart from feeling a little weak at the moment, he has not been greatly affected.In contrast, Yang Feng, who was sitting on the first seat, was already middle-aged, and his expression was beginning to be a little dazed.
Superior martial arts may allow them to have greater strength and speed, but it is difficult to help them resist the invasion of time.
