Chapter 246: The Battle for Hanoi

And just when Pei Qing was aggressively recruiting talents, news came from Hedong that Xu Huang, the Taishou of Hedong, under the planning of the military advisor Jia Xu and the cooperation of the generals Hao Zhao and Guo Huai, launched a fierce attack on Yang Feng, the assassin of the original and state who killed the imperial court officials without authorization, and has now recovered the four counties west of Yewang, and at the same time Sikong Cao Cao also quickly rushed back to Luoyang, and repelled Yang Feng's attack on Luoyang like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and followed Yang Feng to launch a full-line onslaught on Hanoi. In one fell swoop, they seized a lot of territory east of the wild king, and now the armies of both sides have gathered under the wild king city, besieging a wild king city like an iron bucket.

"Hmph, I said from the beginning that Yang Feng is not a loyal minister of the society at all, he originally guarded the Son of Heaven is a kind of speculation, because he has seen that Li Dao Guo Yan is about to decline, and then it is precisely because of his instigation that the general Dong Cheng agreed to move the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, but now it turns out that the Son of Heaven is not safe in Luoyang, Yang Feng, the former important minister of the Society, actually led the army to besiege Luoyang, if it were not for the fact that Cao Mengde had led the army to arrive in time, I would have immediately set off to Luoyang to quell the rebellion, Chong'an Sheji, now Yang Feng is besieged under the city, it is his own fault, but it is a pity that Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang and the people of Hanoi have suffered from the war for no reason. ”

Pei Qing sighed, and then ordered Xu Huang to continue to attack, and he must not relax, and let Yang Feng, the thief, run out. Pei Qing solemnly explained in his letter to Xu Huang: "I know that Yang Feng was your former master in the past, and the past relationship between you is very deep, but after all, now good and evil are different, you have spared his life, and that time you have returned the old feelings, this time you don't have to be polite to him, if you meet on the battlefield, you must not show mercy to your subordinates, because he is now a thief." ”

After Pei Qing finished writing the letter, he immediately ordered his henchmen to rush to Hedong on a fast horse and deliver it to Xu Huang's hands.

It turns out that Pei Qing's worries are superfluous, who is Xu Huang? It will never be abandoned for private reasons. After receiving Pei Qing's order, his will became even stronger, and he secretly resolved in his heart that this time he could not live up to Pei Qing's high hopes no matter what.

"Yang Gong, it's not that I, Xu Huang, are ungrateful, but that you are perverse, killing Zhongliang in vain, and going against the will of the people, so if you fall into my hands this time, it will be really sorry, and I will definitely do business."

Xu Huang's words were very light, but his determination was still firm, especially when he saw the hard life of the people who were ravaged by the war, his heart was like a fire, and he said silently: "At the beginning, I defected to you in order to be able to let thousands of poor people like us live a good life, but you regarded our brothers as a tool for you to get promoted and make a fortune. You are doing all this for the sake of the court and forbearance in front of you, hehe, it's a pity that wishful thinking is wishful thinking after all. ”

After recovering Hedong, Xu Huang reorganized the surrendered Baibo Army soldiers with the consent of Pei Qing, and the army has expanded to more than 10,000 people, although more than 3,000 people are left to guard Hedong, but there are more than 7,000 people who came to Hanoi, so many troops are enough to defeat Yang Feng's 30,000 army, not to mention that Yang Feng also suffered a defeat in Luoyang before, and the army's morale is even more fluctuating, plus Cao Cao also participated in the siege, there is no suspense in this battle.

It's just that Xu Huang doesn't care much about Yang Feng now, he is more concerned about how to fight for greater interests in the open and secret battle with Cao Cao.

Xu Huang is not a fool, he knows that the current Han has existed in name only, and the authority of the Son of Heaven is gradually declining, especially when the Son of Heaven actually abandoned Pei Qing and moved to Luoyang, which makes the discerning people more aware of the decline of the Han.

Therefore, Xu Huang knows that if it is divided today, although Pei Qing is nominally a courtier of the Han Dynasty, he can see that the current Pei Qing is the biggest prince in the world, and even the eldest princess of Pingyang is now obedient to Pei Qing's words, which can prove Pei Qing's current strength and prestige.

At the same time, Cao Cao, Dong Cheng and others could not sincerely support the Son of Heaven, they were also for their own selfish interests, which is enough to prove from Cao Cao's requisition of the army to defeat Tao Qian because of personal vendettas.

In this case, as Pei Qing's general, he naturally had to find a way to seek greater benefits for his lord, Yang Feng killed Zhang Yang, which happened to be an excuse to send troops to Hanoi, and he could use this to occupy some land in Hanoi and provide a barrier for the east of the river that he was guarding.

The reason is very simple, Pei Qing has the white and yellow Yue given by the Son of Heaven, and he has to be specially conscripted, there is no war in the world that cannot be launched by Pei Qing in the name of the imperial court, of course, this premise must be that the division is famous.

And another reason, Hanoi itself is under the control of the Si Li Lieutenant Department, and now that Pei Qing's nominal subordinates have been killed, it is naturally reasonable for Pei Qing, the boss, to pursue it.

Under the Yewang City, Xu Huang and Cao Cao completed the siege, and the two sides cooperated with each other to leak the water in the siege of the Yewang City.

Yang Feng was furious when he heard this, pointed at Xu Huang and scolded: "Xu Huang, you were my general at the beginning, and I was not thin on you, why are you so aggressive today?" What is the face of you, a man of glory who sells for glory, to point fingers before me? If it were me, I would be ashamed to die. ”

But he saw Xu Huang arch his hand and said: "The prince's words are wrong, the prince was born in the Baibo army, and was fortunate to be recruited by the imperial court, and was entrusted with an important task as today's son, he should have done his best to repay the court's kindness, but the prince actually conspired to riot, killed the court officials in vain, and rebelled against the king's order, not to mention this, just because Zhang Taishou was sincere and enthusiastic about the prince before, the prince did not do it authentically enough, the prince was disloyal and unrighteous first, how dare you reprimand me with the advantage of the tongue?" Besides, I was ordered by the hussar general and the lieutenant of the division to conquer you, which is all justifiable, so what is there to be ashamed of? On the contrary, it's you, from a dignified general Wei to this step, it's really a bit bleak, don't talk about it, today you and I are in a city, a city, in order not to talk about the old feelings, if you are willing to surrender, everything is easy to say, if you refuse, then don't blame me for being polite, after the city is broken, if the prince can't save his life, don't blame me for not talking about the old love. ”

"Haha, I don't talk about the old days, but now I have an army of 50,000 in my city, with the little strength under your command, can you break through my city? Even with Cao Mengde, although I can't beat you, but if you want to break the city, it's impossible, I just don't surrender, you have the ability to attack. Yang Feng smiled coldly and said with a loud laugh.
