Chapter 529: Bofu, are you interested in letting your brother participate in the joint training of Mengde and my third brother?
With the galloping of the knights on horseback, the battle of Hengjiangjin spread throughout Huainan in a short time.

The Huainan defenders all looked shocked, and many of them stumbled and fell on their seats.

"What?! Taishi Ci led a hundred Qu'a cavalrymen to defeat Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals?!"

"What?! Wu Jing and Liu Yao shook hands and made peace?!"

"What?! Wu Jing and Liu Yao jointly raised an army and marched to Shouchun?!"

Everything happened so suddenly and so unbelievably.

Everyone in Huainan knew that Wu Jing and Liu Yao were enemies. Now a considerable number of their troops had been swallowed up by Liu Bei, and they were now counting on Wu Jing to take the lead in sending troops.

Who knew that in the blink of an eye, Wu Jing voted. No, how could Wu Jing vote?
Li Feng, the defender of Huainan, steadied himself, temporarily suppressed his fear, and hurriedly asked the reason.

When they had to, Taishi Ci came forward to persuade Liu Yao and Wu Jing, on the precondition that Wu Jing and Liu Yao each sent out a hundred cavalrymen to fight.

Wu Jing would consider this matter only if Liu Yao won.

Then, as they heard, Sun Ce led a group of Sun Jian's old subordinates, a hundred cavalrymen, but was defeated by Taishi Ci's Qu'a hundred cavalrymen.
This is really horrifying. Sun Ce's bravery is witnessed by everyone, and Sun Jian's former subordinates are even more powerful.

Some people even privately exaggerated Sun Ce's bravery, saying that he was comparable to Xiang Yu in ancient times.

As a result, Xiang Ji, who led a group of brave generals, was defeated!
Sun Lang, who was comparable to Xiang Yu, was defeated. In this case, the opponent must be Xiang Yu's own country? !

"No!" Most of the defenders could not accept this conclusion. Li Feng racked his brains to try to find some excuses for Sun Ce's defeat. "There must be something wrong. Could it be that Cheng Pu and Huang Gai suddenly fell ill? And then the Qu'a Knights rushed forward and defeated Sun Lang?!"

"My lord, that's not the case. It was the Grand Historian Ziyi who was battling with Sun Lang, and the Qu'a cavalry stopped the generals Huang and Cheng." He told the whole story of the contest in detail.

"This"

Facing the facts before him, Li Feng really couldn't find any flaws. The famous Sun Lang was defeated by Taishi Ci.

"No!" Li Feng discovered the blind spot. "The Qu'a Knights held back the generals of Huang Cheng?!"

"Why is the Lord so surprised?" the chief clerk asked in confusion.

Li Feng seemed to be even more surprised and puzzled than before. He took a deep breath and said, "Generals Huang and Cheng are Sun Wentai's capable generals. Even if they can't defeat ten thousand people, they can defeat a thousand. Now they are evenly matched with the Qu'a cavalry? ! ! These Qu'a cavalry are so powerful?! Could it be that they can defeat a thousand people?!"

After these words were spoken, everyone understood Li Feng's surprise and confusion.

If you think about it carefully, the fact that a hundred cavalrymen from Qu'a stopped the generals of Huang and Cheng was indeed much more shocking than Taishi Ci defeating Sun Ce.

Are Huang, Cheng and other generals weak?

Even the most stubborn of the Huainan generals did not dare to say that Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others were not brave enough. If Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were not brave enough, then wouldn't they be even less brave?
In this case, we can only say that those one hundred cavalrymen were too brave, and I'm afraid not all of them could serve as cavalry generals!
Li Feng couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet, his face full of regret.

The chief clerk asked hurriedly, "Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no. I just regret that the Qu'a cavalry was so powerful. If I had known that, why would I have gone to Wanling to recruit soldiers? I should have gone to Qu'a myself! Now think about it, Liu Yao was able to defeat Wu Jing because of the soldiers of Qu'a!"

The other officers tried to persuade and comfort the defending general.

Only the chief clerk asked, "My Lord, what should we do now?"

"What should I do?" Li Feng's face darkened, and he actually started to think about it. It seemed that he hadn't figured it out. He looked at everyone present, "Do you have any good ideas?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became lively. All the officials spoke enthusiastically, and many of them said that they should wait for the emperor to return.

After a while, Li Feng exhaled a breath of foul air, his face became more determined, as if he had made up his mind. He said confidently: "If Wu Jing can surrender, why can't we surrender?!"

"Ah?" The officials were all stunned. How come the development of things was beyond their expectations?

"No!" Li Feng suddenly changed his tone, "What do you mean by surrender or not? I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty! It is my duty to defeat the thief Yuan!"

"Ah?" The officials were stunned for a moment, especially those who had just said they were waiting for Yuan Shu to return. At this moment, they felt a chill running down their spines, and their eyes turned more and more terrified as they looked at Li Feng. Even their legs were shaking, but some of them gritted their teeth, squeezed out a smile, and said calmly, "My Lord, are you kidding me? What do you mean by Yuan Shu or not?"

"Are you kidding?" Li Feng's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and he slapped the table hard, making a loud "snap" sound. This loud sound was like thunder rising from the ground, making the ears of the people present buzz.

"I'm not kidding. It was you cysts that caused me to fall into the evil plan of the thief Yuan! That's why I served the thief as my master! Come on, drag these people away!"

As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, a team of soldiers ready for battle broke open the door and rushed into the hall.

The officers were naturally unable to defeat these soldiers. They screamed and tried to escape, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

It seemed that Li Feng had planned it in advance. If one team of soldiers failed, he would send another one. Soon the situation was under the control of the soldiers.

An official shouted at Li Feng, "Li Feng, you bastard! Liu Xuande has always hated evil and will not let you off easily!"

"Take him away." Li Feng had a stern face, as if he didn't want to hear more from the other party. He waved at the soldiers, and the soldiers escorted the officials away.

After the incident, the remaining officials in the hall all lowered their heads, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of those people.

Li Feng glanced at them and said calmly, "Those people just now were spies of the thief Yuan."

"The spy."

The officials were slightly stunned, and then they all agreed, "Yes! A spy, it is a spy! Your Excellency is wise, wise!"

"If it weren't for the Lord, how would we have known their true identities?"

"Everyone, go back." Li Feng seemed a little tired and waved to his subordinates.

The officials, as if they had been pardoned, clasped their fists and fled, leaving only Li Feng and the chief clerk.

The chief clerk sighed, "My Lord, what that man said just now is not without reason. General Wei hates evil and hates evil, I don't think he will let you and me off easily."

"Alas. Of course I know. Naiheqiao Jun sent a letter to persuade them that Wu Jing of Liyang and Liu Yao of Danyang were leading their troops to Shouchun. You and I are not strong enough to defeat them. If that's the case, we might as well make plans early, and perhaps we can save our clan. If we are to be held accountable later, I'm afraid death would be the least of our worries."

As the news that Taishi Ci had successfully persuaded Wu Jing to join the light and that Wu Jing and Liu Yao had sent troops together spread throughout Huainan, Liang Gangle also surrendered the city like Li Feng, which greatly expanded the troops of Wu Jing and Liu Yao, from the original 20,000 to 30,000 to 40,000.

The defending generals along the way were all silent. Even if they did not surrender the whole city, they closed the city gates and dared not stop Wu Jing, Liu Yao and others.

In particular, they did not dare to face the cavalry of Qu'a. The bravery of the cavalry of Qu'a spread throughout Huainan within just a few days.

When the rumor reached Liu Bei's ears, he couldn't help but feel surprised, "How strange, how strange, could it be that the young general Qu'a really existed? Hmm? How come Li Feng and Liang Gangle surrendered the whole city?"

Soon Liu Bei shook his head, laughed, and gave up the idea.
If it wasn't Taishi Ci this time, even if there was a young general from Qu'a, what would it be of any use? If there really was a young general from Qu'a, he believed that Taishi Ci would not miss him. Whether there was one or not, there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

"Haha, my lord."

Zhang Liao led Xu Huang and walked quickly into the tent.

"It's Wenyuan and Gongming? Why are you so happy?"

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang clasped their fists and congratulated, "My lord, Ziyi has brought back the troops of Wu Jing and Liu Yao! Along the way, Li Fengle and Liang Gang surrendered at the sight of him!" "Haha!" Liu Bei laughed loudly, "It is indeed a happy event, it is indeed a happy event! Wenyuan Gongming, quickly follow me to welcome Ziyi!"

"promise!"

Liu Bei led Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others as well as a group of cavalrymen and rushed towards the direction where Taishi Ci returned.

After galloping all the way, they finally saw Taishi Ci's flag.

"Zi Yi!"

With Liu Bei's shout, he soon received a response.

Taishi Ci came galloping on horseback, leading a few unfamiliar faces. Liu Bei's attention was mostly on Taishi Ci.

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang discovered that among these unfamiliar faces, there was one person with a very distinctive appearance.

He had the same big ears as Liu Bei. If the two men did not look similar, they would probably subconsciously think that this man was Liu Bei's brother, adopted son.

Seeing Taishi Ci galloping towards him, Liu Bei quickly turned over and dismounted. Thanks to the existence of the stirrups and his perseverance in improving his swordsmanship, he was quite agile and dismounted cleanly with a turn.

When Taishi Ci was about ten steps away from Liu Bei, he pulled the reins to stop his horse.

"Ziyi, you have worked hard this time. Let me help you off the horse."

"General Wei, I..."

Taishi Ci wanted to refuse, but when he saw Liu Bei's serious look, he couldn't refuse. Instead, he silently dismounted from the horse with Liu Bei's support.

This made Sun Ce and Liu Yao, who were traveling with them, feel a little unbelievable. They could see that Liu Bei was not acting, but was speaking from the heart.

Liu Yao knew that he could not do that. He had already respected Liu Bei a lot, and now he admired him even more.

Sun Ce had no impression of Liu Bei at first, but when someone said he was Liu Bei's son at the banquet, he immediately became angry and even disliked Liu Bei. After fighting with Taishi Ci, his attitude towards Liu Bei changed a little.

It was not until he saw Liu Bei in person that his first impression was that this man had very big ears.

Then he subconsciously compared Liu Bei with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was defeated completely in an instant.

"General Wei, I have accomplished your mission!"

"Very good, very good. Ziyi is indeed both wise and brave! I will definitely report Ziyi's achievements to the emperor."

"Do not."

Unexpectedly, Taishi Ci shook his head and said seriously: "General Wei, the credit this time is not mine, but the guidance of you and the three generals, as well as the great help of the Qu'a cavalry."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Taishi Ci took a deep breath and told him about the competition at Hengjiangjin.

The more Liu Bei listened, the happier he became. Even Zhang Liao and Xu Huang began to admire Taishi Ci.

"Yes, the credit goes to the Qu'a Cavalry. But Ziyi doesn't need to be modest. Ziyi commanded well. How can this not be considered a credit? As for Ziyi's promise, I agreed on behalf of my third brother."

"Thank you, General Wei!" Taishi Ci hurriedly clasped his fists to express his gratitude.

As he was speaking, Taishi Ci seemed to remember something and quickly introduced Liu Yao, Sun Ce and others to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei couldn't help but start chatting with Liu Yao, Sun Ce and others. Liu Bei didn't have any airs of superiority and treated Liu Yao, Sun Ce and others as people of equal status.

During this period, Liu Chong wanted Liu Yao to call Liu Bei uncle. Fortunately, Liu Bei keenly noticed Liu Chong's plan and evaded the question with a few words.

Even Zhou Yu had to admit that Liu Xuande had the qualities to be a great ruler.

As he was speaking, Liu Bei suddenly changed the subject and said, "It's still chilly in spring, why don't you all follow me to the tent and have a chat?"

"So good."

Everyone agreed readily.

Under the leadership of Liu Bei, everyone entered Liu Bei's camp.

Looking at the soldiers dressed in armor and armed with sharp weapons, even Sun Ce couldn't help but marvel at them. Zhou Yu, who was walking beside him, kept coughing to remind Sun Ce not to lose face.

Sun Ce asked with concern: "Gongjin, you... are you suffering from a cold?"

Zhou Yu:.
Liu Bei, who always paid attention to the people around him, tried to suppress his smile. "Bofu, there is a doctor in the army. How about I call him to diagnose Gongjin?"

Sun Ce's eyes suddenly lit up and he was about to say yes.

But he was stopped by Zhou Yu, who sighed helplessly: "General Wei, Bo Fu, I am fine."

"It's good that there's nothing wrong with it. It's good that there's nothing wrong with it. But I think it's better to take a look." Sun Ce still didn't find anything wrong.

"puff"

Sun Ce's serious look made everyone laugh.

Zhou Yu sighed helplessly, pulled Sun Ce aside, and told him the reason for his cough. Then Sun Ce suddenly realized what was going on.

Fortunately, this was just an episode, and neither Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Taishi Ci nor Liu Bei minded Sun Ce's behavior.

Everyone followed Liu Bei's footsteps and came into the tent.

After a few casual words, Liu Bei did not hide anything and told him his previous plans one by one.

Sun Ce and Liu Yao were shocked. It was easier said than done to surround Shouchun and annihilate the reinforcements.

Zhou Yu was even more shocked. Everyone said that Liu Xuande was so brave that he could not be stopped by ten thousand men. Now it seems that his strategy is not simple. He did not rely on Jia Wenhe alone. He surrounded Shouchun but did not attack it. Instead, he wiped out the reinforcements. Such a clever idea was really extraordinary! In addition, with the reputation of wiping out the reinforcements, and winning over Liu Yao and Wu Fujun as external aid, he made Li Feng, Liang Gangle and the three generals surrender the city. Putting heavy pressure on Shouchun, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

Zhou Yu was puzzled as to how Liu Bei could get in touch with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The distance was so great that it would take a long time to send a letter, let alone discuss specific plans.

However, these did not affect Zhou Yu's evaluation of Liu Bei. He said from the bottom of his heart: "I admire the general's strategy."

Faced with Zhou Yu's praise, even Liu Bei, who was always calm in the face of adversity, felt ashamed. The tactic of destroying the reinforcements was something he copied from the fairyland, and he had never expected Li Feng and Liang Gang to surrender so happily.

"A fluke, a fluke."

Liu Bei didn't want to be involved too much in this matter, so he quickly changed the subject. Of course, this was also what Zhang Fei asked him to ask.

"Bofu, I heard that you have a younger brother? Captain Cao talked with my third brother for three days and three nights, and reached a consensus that we should start from a young age, and came up with a method to cultivate talents. I wonder if Bofu is willing to let your brother be with Captain Cao's second son Pi?"
