Deng Quan was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he didn't dare to have an attack.
He could argue with the emperor according to etiquette and not give in even an inch. But facing a rough man like Yang Feng, he really had nothing to do. Even if he did not hesitate to take his life and drew his sword and stepped forward, his life would be in vain, and there was nothing he could do to Yang Feng.
.
Although there are many Hu Ben under his command, Yu Lin is no match for Yang Feng Baiqi.
When a scholar encounters a soldier, he can't explain why. This is the most appropriate portrayal of the scene before him.
Yang Feng stopped looking at Deng Quan and looked up at the plain. He happened to be eye-to-eye with Liu Xie, and couldn't help but feel nervous.
Liu Xie had a faint smile on his face, slightly sarcastic.
Yang Feng was furious. He got off his horse, threw the reins to his guards, and strode up the plain. When he passed by Deng Quan, he snorted and bumped his shoulder, almost knocking Deng Quan over. Two of them
Hu Ben stepped forward with his halberd in hand and opened his mouth to speak, but was met with a cold eyebrow by Yang Feng. He was immediately frustrated and timidly stepped aside, watching Yang Feng stride up to the plateau with his hands behind his back.
Liu Xie watched this scene quietly and sighed secretly in his heart.
These Tiger Ben men don't have the slightest bit of momentum that Tiger Ben should have. They are simply a bunch of trash.
Yang presented the soil to the plateau and saw the emperor standing with his hands behind his back. There was only a middle-aged tiger man next to him. He was a little surprised, but he didn't care. He strode to Liu Xie, casually cupped his hands, and said loudly: "General Xingyi
, I have met with Your Majesty. Your Majesty summoned me, have you decided to attack Duan Xuan?"
"Thank you, General." Liu Xie turned around, looked at Yang Feng, and said calmly.
Yang Feng is tall, has long arms, has a dark complexion, and has a fierce expression with a bit of violence, which really makes people feel uneasy. Deng Quan's worries have their own reasons. However, in extraordinary times, blindly rejecting warriors is not the best policy, and some things are not
Hiding will solve the problem.
Deng Quan is old and his thinking habits are hard to change, but he can't do this.
"General Yang, this is Huben Wang Yue, a famous swordsman. I believe you have heard of his name."
As soon as Liu Xie said this, Wang Yue and Yang Feng were stunned. They looked at each other and then looked at Liu Xie in unison.
Wang Yue was surprised when Liu Association introduced him to Yang Feng.
Although he is a famous swordsman in Luoyang, his official position is low and he is just a tiger warrior. How can he be worthy of being introduced personally by the emperor?
What surprised Yang Feng was that the seemingly ordinary Tiger Ben Lang in front of him was actually a swordsman, and a great swordsman at that. Although he had never been to Luoyang, he had heard of Wang Yue's name.
What is the emperor’s intention in placing this person here? Could it be...
Thinking of this, Yang Feng's back felt cold, and he subconsciously took a step back, placing his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.
They were on a plateau, surrounded by loess slopes that went straight up and down. Yang Feng almost lost his footing when he retreated, so he couldn't help but panic.
On the other hand, Wang Yue remained as motionless as a mountain, showing his masterly bearing.
Liu Xie saw clearly and had a judgment in his mind. In terms of personal force, Wang Yue was better. Although Yang Feng was brave, he was not calm enough and was still some distance away from a real master.
Liu Xie coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to chat with the general alone, but Guang Luxun was worried and insisted on arranging for Wang Yue to escort him." He raised his hand and motioned to Wang Yue to take a few steps back and stand.
Stay further away. "The general won't mind, right?"
Yang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, returned the sword to its sheath, and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty's words are serious. Your Majesty is the leader of the world, so you should be more cautious."
Even so, his face didn't look good. It could be seen that his mood was very complicated, but he just couldn't express it.
Born in the Baibo Army and once serving as Li Jue's subordinate, he was almost covered in stains and could not blame others for doubting him.
In contrast, His Majesty was willing to meet him alone, and under the strong advice of the minister, only arranged for Wang Yue to escort him instead of sending a group of tigers and warriors to cross their necks. This is already commendable.
"I wonder what your Majesty's instructions are?" Yang Feng took the initiative to change the topic while avoiding Wang Yue's eyes.
Unknowingly, his tone became a little more humble.
Liu Xie was very satisfied.
Judging from Yang Feng's performance, the effect of arranging Wang Yue to stand aside is better than meeting Yang Feng alone. It not only shows his sincerity, but also prevents Yang Feng from being too presumptuous, so as to control the initiative in his own hands.
.
This is very important.
Yang Feng is very brave and fights fiercely. He relies on his ability to protect his troops and is usually very arrogant.
For such a fearful and unethical person, force deterrence is still necessary. Only in this special situation can he restrain himself and reduce his own troubles.
The sword in Wang Yue's hand is more effective than the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers.
Liu Xie coughed lightly. "I was in Xinfeng a few days ago. Thanks to the general's hard work, I am very grateful."
Yang Feng grinned, raised his chest high, cupped his hands, and replied loudly: "This is my duty."
Liu Xie nodded and changed the subject. "Were you a subordinate of Li Jue before?"
Yang Fenggang's raised chest then collapsed again, and his expression became a little embarrassed. "Uh... I was confused for a moment. I only thought that Li Jue was an important minister of the imperial court. I never thought that he was so ambitious. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have found my way back after I lost my way.
I will definitely break up with Li Jue to make up for my past mistakes."
"I can trust the general." Liu Xie agreed, and then asked: "What do you think of Li Jue's troops and the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang soldiers?"
Yang Feng frowned slightly, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
Liu Xie asked again unhurriedly. "Li Jue is in Chiyang. If when he attacks Duan Xuan, Li Jue comes to fight, and even Guo Si and Zhang Ji come too. What chance does the general have of winning?"
Yang Feng closed his mouth tightly, rubbed the knife ring with his big hand, and said nothing for a long time.
He heard what the emperor meant, but he had no confidence to refute.
He had served under Li Jue, and he knew Li Jue's abilities, and he also knew that the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang soldiers was definitely not something that he and the Baibo Army under his command could match.
As Duan Xuan alone, he might still have some chance of winning, but if Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji are added to the list, he has no chance of winning at all.
Even if he only faced Duan Xuan, he still needed to unite Yang Ding and Dong Cheng. This was why he needed the emperor to issue an edict.
Yang Ding and Duan Xuan didn't get along and had long wanted to attack Duan Xuan, but Dong Cheng was hesitant and needed an edict from the emperor to do so.
They have been discussing with Dong Cheng these days, hoping to get Dong Cheng to take action together, but Dong Cheng has not let go.
If Dong Cheng can be persuaded, it doesn't matter if the emperor can't issue an edict.
Seeing that Yang Feng didn't speak, Liu Xie knew that he was timid, so he changed the subject and asked, "Before joining Li Jue, was the general in Baibo Valley?"
Yang Feng became angry and his expression became fierce.
Did the emperor call me here just to humiliate me?
Feeling Yang Feng's hostility, Liu Xie was not nervous, but secretly grateful to Deng Quan.
With the great swordsman Wang Yue by his side, it was indeed much safer. He could ignore Yang Feng's hostility and show off openly.
"Are the White Wave Army and the Black Mountain Army both part of the Yellow Turbans?"
Yang Feng quietly glanced at Wang Yue behind him, let out a long breath, suppressed his temper, and nodded.
"As His Majesty said, both the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army were once part of the Yellow Turbans. The Black Mountain Army was originally the Jizhou Department, and the Baibo Army was the Bingzhou Department."
