As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.
Yi Ji was surprised and wanted to persuade him, but Xu You waved his hand and said: "Forget it, Bo Ji, you don't have to persuade me. Our general will just make a decision. Once he makes a decision, it will be enough to pull a hundred cows."
Not coming back."
"It's better that you understand me, sir." Yan Liang said with a smile.
Yi Ji felt deeply that Yu Yan Liang acted decisively and had superhuman courage. He also knew that Yan Liang had the intention to win over the Huang family by doing this.
However, when he thought that Yan Liang was going to propose marriage under Liu Biao's nose, Yi Ji always felt that this was not very reliable.
"If the general really wants to go to the Huang family, he must make careful preparations in case Liu Biao has evil intentions." Yi Ji couldn't help but remind him.
"Don't worry, Boji. I am not that kind of fool. I will send you to Liu Biao for nothing."
Yan Liang smiled slightly and turned to Xu You, "Sir, I and the Huang family will have to rely on your fine work to build the net."
When Xu You assisted Yuan Shao in his early years, he established a spy network all over the country. However, Yuan Shao did not pay much attention to intelligence work, so the money allocated to Xu You was always not enough. Xu You had to make money privately to make up for the shortfall in expenses.
.
Precisely for this reason, this underground spy network is only responsible for Xu You. Now that Xu You has surrendered to Yan Liang, this spy network will naturally be transferred to Yan Liang's command.
Although Xiangyang City is Liu Biao's home base, Xu You has already laid a tight network of agents in it, and his agents have even invaded Jingzhou's senior officials.
Therefore, with Xu You around, Yan Liang could know Liu Biao's every move.
Xu You then nodded and said: "General, don't worry, I will send an order to them to closely monitor Liu Biao's movements. If there is any change, the general will immediately withdraw to Xinye."
"Very good, then you should prepare well. We will visit my Lord Taishan soon."
Yi Ji next to him, looking at Yan Liang with a confident face, realized that Yan Liang was not impulsively risking his life, but had a careful plan in mind.
"General Ziyi is brave and resourceful, and his actions are decisive but thoughtful. He is really an extraordinary person..."
Yi Ji admired in his heart and couldn't help showing admiration in his eyes.
######
Three days later.
When Dongfang was still turning white, Yan Liang dressed in casual clothes and pretended to be a businessman, and left Xinye City in a low-key manner.
Accompanying him were Zhou Cang, the commander of the personal army, Yi Ji, the counselor, and more than twenty elite soldiers.
These soldiers are all tigers and bears who can fight one against ten. Although they are small in number, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
From the time Yan Liang left the city, Xu You's detailed network had already been in operation, closely monitoring the movements of Xiangyang, Fancheng, Dengxian and other armies. In addition, the army's scouts were also scattered around, scouting hundreds of miles around.
Movement in Yuli.
With such a tight intelligence network, if there is any slight disturbance, Yan Liang will quickly get the news and retreat in time.
At nearly noon, Yan Liang and his party arrived at Huangjiazhuang in Deng County.
The men and horses stopped outside the village, and Yi Ji stepped forward to call the door.
After a while, the door creaked open, and an old servant staggered out.
Because Yi Ji had been here before, the old servant recognized him at a glance and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Yi. Sir, please wait a moment until the old servant sends a message to the master."
But Yi Ji smiled and said: "It's not me who is here to visit today, but this one."
Yi Ji turned around and glanced at Yan Liang, who was standing on his horse.
The old slave turned his eyes, glanced at Yan Liang, and said suspiciously: "This is..."
Yan Liang said loudly: "Go and report to Mr. Huang that Yan Liang from Xinye is here to visit."
Upon hearing the word "Yan Liang", the originally indifferent old servant seemed to have seen a ghost, and his face turned pale with fright.
"General...general, please wait a moment, old slave...old slave will report to the master right away."
He no longer dared to look at Yan Liang, so he quickly closed the door and stumbled to report.
Seeing the old servant's panic, Yan Liang sneered and murmured: "I'm not a tiger, I can't eat you, so why am I so afraid?"
"The general has long been a powerful figure in Jingxiang. It is said that the children who cried all night are so frightened that they dare not cry anymore when they hear the name of the general. How can a mere old slave not be afraid?" Yi Ji joked.
Yan Liang smiled slightly, thinking that it would be better to be feared than to be despised.
At this time, Huangjiazhuang was still peaceful.
Although Yi Ji's matchmaking visit caused quite a stir in the village, and even Huang Chengyan was quite shocked, the shock was like the ripples caused by a stone, and he soon regained his composure.
Three days passed, and Yan Liangjun was still nowhere to be seen. Huang Chengyan thought that he was stumped by his own difficulties and retreated.
"No matter how brave you are, you don't dare to die under Liu Biao's nose."
Huang Chengyan in the garden, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, continued to tease his caged bird.
A room away, Huang Yueying was sitting on the railing, staring blankly at the clouds that gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered again. She held the wooden comb in her hand over and over again, boringly combing the black hair hanging on her chest.
There was a hint of sadness on her face.
After staying for a long time, she sighed softly and murmured to herself: "It seems that he is just an ordinary person after all..."
At this moment, the old slave Huang Xiang's scream suddenly came to his ears:
"Master, something bad happened, and Yan Liang came to visit——"
This scream was like a bolt from the blue, instantly sending the entire Huangjiazhuang into panic.
Huang Chengyan, who was amusing himself with birds, suddenly felt infinite shock on his leisurely face.
And Huang Yueying, who was sitting dumbly, was so shocked that she dropped the comb in her hand.
"He's coming, he's really coming..."
Huang Yueying sat up suddenly, and was at a loss for words for a moment. A trace of joy quietly flashed across her frightened face.
At this moment, Huang Yueying had the urge to rush out. She hurriedly straightened her clothes in the mirror, turned around and wanted to go out.
However, just as one foot crossed the threshold, she stopped again.
"What's wrong with me? Even if he comes, dad will take care of it. How can I behave like this when I go out?"
A trace of reason passed through her heart, and the excited Huang Yueying immediately regained some composure.
After hesitating for a moment, she stepped out with the other foot.
At this time, Yan Liang was already on his way to normal.
Along the way, the maids and servants of the Huang family either hid in panic or stood with their heads lowered, not daring to look him in the face.
When he was in Xinye, Yan Liang didn't have much time to interact with these ordinary civilians. Now that he has gone deep into the "masses", he has experienced firsthand how intimidating his reputation is.
"The feeling of being strong is really good."
Looking at the fearful people on the left and right, Yan Liangliang felt an indescribable sense of relief.
In a moment, Yan Liang strode to the front of the main hall.
In front of the gate, an old man with a bit of a Taoist spirit had already stepped down to wait. I think he was Huang Chengyan.
When Yan Liang was about to step forward to greet him, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful lady in blue hurriedly approaching from the other end of the corridor.
That Yiren is none other than Huang Yueying.
Yan Liang's gaze immediately passed over Huang Chengyan and fell on Huang Yueying. A smile flashed in his sharp eyes.
Huang Yueying came in a hurry, and her eyes happened to catch his smile. Her heart was pounding wildly, and the color on her face was even more overwhelming.
