Chapter 195: Xu Huang's Return to His Heart (I)
Almost at the same time, the good news reached the Yazhong of Shaancheng County, and to Liu Cun, the general of the chariot and cavalry, who had a warm conversation with Yang Feng and others.
Knowing that the Qingzhou Army had defeated tens of thousands of enemy troops in less than an hour and won a great victory of destroying more than 10,000 enemies and captivating more than 10,000 prisoners, Yang Feng and Angel Yang Biao and others were shocked. They knew very well the Bai Bo army, which had 80,000 elite soldiers and was known as a 150,000 army, and knew that the Bai Bo soldiers were fierce and well-equipped.
Over the past few years, under the leadership of Han Xian, Hu Cai and Li Le, the Baibo army has been killing and attacking continuously, firmly controlling Hedong County and half of Shangdang County, which are rich in the world.
Looking at its strength, it is not necessarily much inferior to the Xiliang Army, which controls the emperor and the imperial court but has constant internal friction.
This shows how the strength of the Baibo Army is, which is probably the fundamental reason why the Baibo Army dares to cross the river in a big way and challenge the world-famous Qingzhou Army, even if there is no conspiracy and lure from Yuan Shao, the powerful Baibo Army will challenge the Qingzhou Army sooner or later for its own interests and reputation.
Who knew that in just one day, the powerful Baibo Army was defeated by the Qingzhou Army, which not only lost the fierce general Li Le and 5,000 elite cavalry, but also paid a heavy price of more than 10,000 dead and wounded and captured by more than 10,000.
How did this result not make Yang Biao and Yang Feng and others, who thought that the two armies were evenly matched, and that they would have to fight hard for at least a few days to distinguish the winner from the loser?
The reactions in the lobby were very different.
Liu Cun and his subordinates were smiling, but Yang Feng and the two generals standing behind him were full of disbelief, and Yang Biao quickly calmed down after exclaiming. My heart is calculating quickly. What will be the final outcome of this battle? How will the major forces in the entire Sili region and even the surrounding areas react? What kind of change will it bring?
Others don't know that this battle is not over yet. Yang Biao is clear...... At this moment, he concluded that Liu Cun had won.
Han Xian, who lost tens of thousands of dollars and fled back to Shaanjindu on the north bank, was afraid that he would lose his courage, and he had no idea that the blows of the Qingzhou army would follow.
At this time, the well-trained and well-equipped 10,000 Qingzhou cavalry had already quietly crossed the north bank with the assistance of Yang Feng and was about to launch a surprise attack on its large camp.
Even if Han Xian still had tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians left behind in the camp on the north bank, he had no chance of winning when he was exhausted and defenseless. What's more, there is a more elite cavalry of the Qingzhou Army, which has already crossed the ferry of the lower reaches of the big river, and is crossing Yuanxian County surrounded by mountains, killing Anyi, the old nest of the empty Baibo Army.
Under the continuous blows of the Qingzhou Army, Han Xian and Bai Bo Army, who were strong and dominant, may not be able to escape.
Liu Cun coughed lightly, broke the silence, motioned to the guards to add tea to the guests, raised his head and looked at Yang Biao and Yang Feng and others who came back to their senses with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of the war. Regardless of the final outcome, I am afraid that General Han Xian and his Baibo army will not cross the river again...... There is something important at hand. That is, the ownership of Shaanxi County, where we are now, cannot be ambiguous, and you need to make a decision, otherwise it may cause many contradictions if it drags on. ”
Yang Feng suddenly cheered up, his eyes were shining, full of vigilance, this Shaanxi County was originally his occupation of the place, is a strategic place connecting the north and south of the river, holding the passage of the two capitals, although the territory is not large, but the annual tax of one million gold and the grain and grass provided by more than 200,000 acres of fields account for almost half of Yang Feng's total income.
No matter how he was deceived by the old man Han Xian and lost Shaanxi County before, and no matter how Liu Cun defeated Han Xian's troops and recovered Shaanxi County in one fell swoop, Yang Feng was reluctant to give up at this time...... If he gave up Shaanxi County at this point, it would undoubtedly be as painful as cutting meat, and he would definitely lose his strength and weaken because of this.
The reason why Yang Feng made a decision to break with Han Xian, who was from the same source, was completely the result of careful consideration and repeated considerations, his troops were limited, his reputation was not good, and the Hangu Pass and Shaanxi County he occupied were strategic places in full view, and he had to endure the contempt and bullying of Han Xian, who dominated the wealthy Hedong for three days, so he was in a very awkward position.
Especially after the powerful Qingzhou army occupied Luoyang to rebuild the imperial capital, Yang Feng's living space was more narrow and embarrassing, and there was no longer any room for choice.
Not to mention anything else, Liu Cun, who occupies the righteousness of the world, only needs to find a lame reason casually, and he can mobilize tens of thousands of elites to destroy him, and after that, he can still be praised by the people of the world, and won the recognition and support of the emperor and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial court.
This is the fundamental reason why Yang Feng finally chose to form an alliance with the Qingzhou Army.
After forming an alliance, not only can you get a large amount of assistance from the Qingzhou Army, but also have a huge guarantee of security, and the bad reputation will also be greatly improved because of this, the warm reception and encouragement of the angel Yang Biao, as well as the recommendation of Liu Cun, who is the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the general of the chariot cavalry, is the best reward for Yang Feng.
But to say a thousand things and ten thousand, it is too difficult for Yang Feng to give up Shaanxi County, without Shaanxi County will not only weaken Yang Feng's own strength, but also have a huge impact on his political status, but if you want to keep Shaanxi County, you have to look at Liu Cun's belly......
Prior to this, Yang Feng didn't know that Liu Cun had planned to return Shaanxi County to him, but he didn't make a clear promise, and even Luoyang Linggong Sun Fang, who had been secretly going back and forth between each other to mediate vigorously, didn't have to make a clear promise about it.
Yang Biao's reaction was completely different from Yang Feng's.
Previously, Liu Cun promised to return Shaanxi County to Yang Feng, which was also what Yang Biao, the angel Zhao Qi who fell in Luoyang, and the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty wanted to see, but now Liu Cun suddenly said these words, as if to regret it, which made Yang Biao shocked and very anxious.
Yang Biao groaned for a while, so he couldn't grasp the point, so he had to look at Yang Feng, whose face was pale, and then turned to Liu Cun with a smile on his face, but found that Liu Cun's gentle gaze had been on the burly captain behind Yang Feng.
Yang Biao's stomach full of doubts became more and more uncomfortable, and in the end, he couldn't care so much, so he was about to ask Liu Cun what he thought, Gongsun Fang, who was kneeling on Liu Cun's left, had already laughed, raised his hands, opened his huge sleeves, and put his hands together to Yang Feng, who was gradually discouraged:
"General Yang doesn't have to worry, if it weren't for the general's great help, our army would not have been able to achieve such a big victory, this love will be firmly remembered by my lord and the officers and men of the whole army......
"In order to thank the general for his righteousness, my lord has decided to hand over part of the capture of this battle and Bai Bo's surrender to the general, and three days later, our army will pack up and return to Luoyang."
As soon as Yang Feng heard this, he immediately stood up and returned the salute with a fist: "Thank you for your generosity, thank you for the righteousness of General Zijian, Fenghe's soldiers will remember it from the bottom of my heart!" ”
