Chapter 103: Forming an alliance with Lu Bu
Feng Yao said: "Okay! In accordance with this plan, the whole army rested for three days, and on August 20, it marched into Kuiyang City, and our army camped three miles east of Kuiyang City! Hold on to the army of Gongdu! ”
Before the two of them could talk in detail, Yang Wuyu, who was guarding outside, said, "Lord, Lu Bu sent a messenger to see you!" ”
When Feng Yao heard this, his spirits perked up, and he said in his heart: "This must be for the alliance!" So he hurriedly stood up, and Zhiyue followed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Open the door, walk out of the secret room, and stand beside Yang Wu respectfully.
"Where is the messenger?" Feng Yao asked.
"The subordinate has brought it to the lobby." Yang Wuyu said.
"You're doing the right thing, we'll meet this messenger for a while!" Feng Yaozheng said.
Zhi Yue, Yang Wu, and two other relatives followed behind Feng Yao as ordered, and the group headed towards the lobby.
As soon as he entered the lobby, Feng Yao saw a familiar figure.
"It's you! Brother Geng! Feng Yao laughed, strode over, and bowed his hand to Geng Liang to express his friendship.
When he was in Lu Bu's army, Feng Yao had a few encounters with Geng Liang, and his impression was very good.
Geng Liang was also full of excitement, looked at Feng Yao with admiration, and said with a smile: "I, Geng Liang, will change my name to you Feng Fujun in the future!" ”
Feng Yao hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Geng, you and I don't have to be so polite, if you don't see the outside, just call me my cousin!" ”
Hearing this, Geng Liang nodded with a smile and said, "Zimou! I can't imagine that the last time I said goodbye to you, you became such a big official in a blink of an eye, the world is really unpredictable! What's even more unexpected is that you can maintain a normal heart while being in a high position, which is really admirable! ”
Feng Yao also liked Geng Liang's straightforward personality very much, and seeing Geng Liang's demeanor still talking decently, Feng Yao felt as if he had returned to the past.
"Yang Wu!" After Feng Yao turned around, he shouted to Yang Wu who was standing on the side, and ordered: "You have ordered the guards guarding each gate, for the time being, no one is allowed to come in without my order, if there is any emergency, you must also report it in advance!" ”
Yang Wu was immediately ordered to leave.
Feng Yao ordered another personal entourage and said, "You quickly go and inform Zhao Wang, prepare a good banquet on the table, and I will pick up the wind for Brother Geng." ”
Feng Yao said to another relative: "It's getting late, it's time for dinner, you go and pass on Commander Xu, Captain Dai, and Commander Liu to come here!" ”
The two parents went separately to carry out the order.
After several people left, there were only Feng Yao, Geng Liang, and the strategist Zhiyue in the entire hall, and after the three of them sat down, Geng Liang cautiously glanced at Zhiyue who was sitting on the side, as if he had some scruples.
Feng Yao said: "Brother Geng, he is my confidant and strategist, but if you have something to say, there are no outsiders here!" ”
Zhi Yue arched his hand at Geng Liang and said: "My surname is Zhi Mingyue, a native of Jiujiang and Anhui County. ”
Geng Liang also smiled and arched his hand, "A certain surname Geng Mingliang, Chen Liuren!" ”
After the two got to know each other, coupled with Feng Yao's words, Geng Liang took out a letter from his arms, the seal of the letter was sealed with vermilion lacquer, Geng Liang presented the letter to Feng Yao, and said: "This is the letter that Wen Hou ordered me to hand over to you personally!" ”
Feng Yao took the letter with a solemn expression, looked at the lacquer seal, and the large seal of Wen Hou on it was clearly visible, proving that this letter had not been opened by outsiders.
After opening the lacquer seal, he took a look at the contents, and sure enough, as he expected, Lu Bu not only agreed to Feng Yao's request for an alliance, but also agreed to Feng Yao's request to marry his daughter Lu Lingqi.
At the end of the letter, Lu Lingqi's birth date was also attached: at noon on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the Gengshen year, if the year is 180 years according to the Common Era.
Feng Yao's eyes were surprised, and he said secretly: "It turns out that Lingqi is actually the same day as the month and day of my birth, but she is a full two years younger than me!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of Lu Lingqi's moving face again, and I really can't wait to see Lu Lingqi immediately!
However, this thought only lasted for a short time, and Feng Yao forcibly put aside his thoughts about Lu Lingqi for the time being, "Now is not the time to put your mind to it!" I have to get to my feet! in order to change the misfortunes that will happen in the future!! ”
Feng Yao closed his eyes and took a sharp breath, let out another breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes became resolute and bright again.
Lu Bu also mentioned an important thing in the letter!
Cao Cao had already sent the general Cao Ren to capture Juyang County in Dongjun, captured the city guard Liu He alive, and threatened his brother Liu Yu in Dingjiyin County with Liu He's life, so Lu Bu hoped that Feng Yao could send troops to attack Yingchuan County as soon as possible and control the Yingchuan Xun clan in his hands, which could be used to clamp down on Cao Cao's subordinates to govern Xun Yu.
If Yingchuan can be captured, Xun Yu's nephew Xun You will lose the ability to attack Chen Liu, as long as Chen Liu can get out of the battle with Xun You, he can send reinforcements to help Lu Bu attack Cao Cao!
Feng Yao looked at Geng Liang, nodded and said, "I already know the specific things, I will write a reply in the evening, and I can leave for my head back tomorrow!" Is that okay? ”
Geng Liang nodded in agreement, but the change in Feng Yao's expression just now, Geng Liang took a fancy to his eyes, so he let out a hearty laugh and said, "Zimou, you may not know yet!" Li Jin has now been promoted to a military marquis, and he tells me about your previous deeds in front of me every day! I'm almost going to call you a god of war! ”
Feng Yao recalled the jokes he had made when he was a military commander under Shi Chang Li Jin in the past, and couldn't help laughing, and his mood immediately improved a lot.
Geng Liang talked about some inconsequential things in Lu Bu's army, and Feng Yao listened to them with relish, and the three of them talked about the evening.
Xu Chu, Dai Ling, Yang Wu, Liu Shun, and Zhao Wang also came one by one.
Zhao Wang took out his best skills and made a sumptuous dinner, and eight people ate and drank and talked happily.
During the banquet, Feng Yao suddenly remembered the matter of the horse pedals, and his heart moved, "If you can let all the hundreds of cavalry under Lu Bu be equipped with horse pedals, maybe the battle situation will be much more favorable!" So he hurriedly ordered a relative to go and get a pair of all-copper horse shoes and give them to Geng Liang.
After Geng Liang took the horseshoe, he asked puzzledly, "Zimou, what is this?" ”
"It's called a horseback! The feet can be put inside, which can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry! Feng Yao explained.
Geng Liang's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood that this seemingly inconspicuous thing would be an important thing that would change the entire cavalry combat method! The gift from Feng Yao is too heavy!
"I thank you for Wen Hou and the whole army!" Geng Liang replied sincerely.
The group of eight people talked for nearly an hour, and then they reluctantly left.
The next day, Geng Liang bid farewell to Feng Yao very early, taking with him a letter written by Feng Yao about the alliance, as well as the latest battle situation in Runan.
The scout came to report.
After Captain Zhou Cang led a large army to attack Nanton, his reputation spread far and wide, first the defenders of Ruyang abandoned the city and fled, and so Zhou Cang captured Ruyang City without much effort, and then what happened was beyond everyone's thoughts, the neighboring Zhengqiang and Xihua counties also fled to the wind, and all the soldiers fled to Zhaoling.
Ji Ling fought all the way to Shenyang, North Yichun, and Ancheng counties, but because the three cities were relatively close to each other, the three cities attacked and defended each other, and they resisted Ji Ling's attack.
