Chapter 256 The Battle of Hanoi

Just as Pei Qing was recruiting talents, news came from Hedong that, with the planning of military advisor Jia Xu and the cooperation of generals Hao Zhao, Guo Huai and others, Hedong prefect Xu Huang launched a fierce attack on Yang Feng, the former governor of Bingzhou who killed the imperial court, who abducted the imperial officials. He has now recovered four counties west of the Yewang. At the same time, Sikong Cao Cao also rushed back to Luoyang, and repelled Yang Feng's attack on Luoyang like autumn wind swept the fallen leaves. He followed Yang Feng's attack on Henoi and captured many territory east of the Yewang in one fell swoop. Now the army of both sides gathered at Yewang City, sieging a Yewang City like an iron barrel.

"Hmph, I said from the beginning that Yang Feng is not a loyal minister of the country. He was originally a speculative approach to protecting the emperor because he had seen Li Jue and Guo Si about to decline. Later, it was because of his instigation that General Dong Cheng of the Cavalry agreed to move to Luoyang. However, the facts have proved that the emperor was not safe in Luoyang. Yang Feng, a former important official of the country, actually led his army to besiege Luoyang. If I had not heard that Cao Mengde had already arrived in time, I would have set off to Luoyang immediately to quell the rebellion and maintain the country. Now Yang Feng is surrounded by the city, which is his own fault. It's just a pity that Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, and the vast number of people in Hanoi, have suffered the pain of war for no reason."

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

After writing the letter, Pei Qing immediately ordered his confidant to ride a fast horse to Hedong and deliver it to Xu Huang.

Facts have proved that Pei Qing's worries are unnecessary. Who is Xu Huang? He will never depose his public for personal gain. After receiving Pei Qing's order, his will became stronger and he made a secret decision in his heart that he could no longer let Pei Qing down any more.

"Mr. Yang, it's not that I, Xu Huang, are ungrateful, but that you acted against the will of loyalty and kindness, and went against the will of the people. So, if you fall into my hands this time, you will be really sorry, and I will do my business."

Xu Huang's words were very light, but his determination was firm, especially when he saw the hard life of the people ravaged by the war, his heart was like a fire, and he silently said: "I defected to you to make the people as poor as us live a good life, but you regarded us brothers as tools for your promotion and wealth. In fact, since the moment you defected to Li Jue, we have gradually moved away, but I still wishful thinking is that you do all this for the sake of the court and the country. Hehe, it's a pity that wishful thinking is ultimately wishful thinking."

After recapturing Hedong, Xu Huang reorganized the surrendered Baibo army soldiers with Pei Qing's consent, and the army had expanded to more than 10,000. Although more than 3,000 people were left to guard Hedong, there were more than 7,000 people coming to Henoi. So many troops were enough to defeat Yang Feng's 30,000 troops. What's more, Yang Feng was defeated in Luoyang before, and his morale was even more floating. In addition, Cao Cao also participated in the siege, so there was no suspense in this battle.

However, Xu Huang no longer cared about Yang Feng anymore. What he cared more about was how to fight for greater benefits in open and secret struggles with Cao Cao.

Xu Huang is not a fool. He knew that the Han Dynasty had been in name only and the emperor's authority gradually declined, especially when Zi abandoned Pei Qing and moved to Luoyang today, which made people with discerning eyes more aware of the declining of the Han Dynasty.

So Xu Huang knew that if the lower part was divided today, although Pei Qing was nominally a minister of the Han Dynasty, he could see that Pei Qing is the largest prince in the world now, and even Princess Pingyang is obeying Pei Qing's advice now, which can further prove Pei Qing's current strength and prestige.

At the same time, Cao Cao, Dong Cheng and others could not sincerely support the emperor. They were all for their own selfish interests. This is enough to prove the fact that Cao Cao conscripted a large army to attack Tao Qian because of his personal grudges.

Since this is the case, as Pei Qing's general, he naturally had to find a way to seek greater benefits for his master. Yang Feng killed Zhang Yang, which was just an excuse to send troops to Hanoi. He could use this to occupy some land in Hanoi and provide a barrier for Hedong where he was guarding.

The reason is very simple. Pei Qing has the white throne and yellow axe given by the emperor, so he has to specialize in the battle. There is no war in the world that cannot be initiated by Pei Qing in the name of the court. Of course, this premise must be that the army is famous.

Another reason is that Hanoi itself is under the jurisdiction of the Sili School Commander. Now that Pei Qing’s nominal subordinates have been killed, it is natural that Pei Qing, the boss, is prosecuted.

At the Yewang City, Xu Huang and Cao Cao completed the encirclement. The two sides cooperated with each other to make the Yewang City surround. Xu Huang put on his helmet and armor, and ordered Yang Feng to surrender early, and perhaps he could survive his death.

Yang Feng was furious when he heard this, pointed at Xu Huang and cursed: "Xu Huang, you were my general back then, and I was not bad to you. Why are you so aggressive today? What kind of face do you, a seller and seeking honor, have you pointed at me in front of me? If it were me, I would be ashamed to death."

But Xu Huang bowed and said, "Your Majesty is such a bad word. You are born in Baibo's army and are fortunate to be recruited by the court. You are entrusted with important tasks today. You should have done your best to repay the court's kindness, but you actually conspired to riots and killed the imperial officials and rebelled against the king's orders. Not to mention this point, just because Zhang's prefect Zhang was sincere and enthusiastic about the emperor before, you did not do it well enough. You are unfaithful and unrighteous. How dare you scold me for your words and words? Besides, what I worship is

The command of General Cavalry and the command of the Sili School Captain to conquer you are legitimate, so what's the shame? On the contrary, you have actually gotten into this step from a dignified general of Guard. It's really a bit miserable. Less gossip. Today, you and I are on the city and under the city. The purpose is not to talk about old feelings. If you are willing to surrender, everything will be easy. If you refuse, don't blame me for being rude. After the city is broken, if the king and marquis cannot save their lives, don't blame me for not talking about the past relationship."
