Chapter 271 Mediation

In the next few days, Li Jue and Guo Si's troops fought outside the city every day. Not only did both sides suffer from casualties, but they also plundered the villages, killed the old and weak in the village, and organized the young and middle-aged people into the team. The young women snatched into the camp and gave them to Li and Guo's confidants.

Seeing that the melee between Li and Guo led to the destruction of the people outside the city, Yang Biao, Zhu Jun and others were unbearable, so they sent Huangfu Song's nephew Huangfu Li to their military camp to talk to their camp, hoping that the two could temporarily stop fighting.

Huangfu Li went to Guo Si’s camp first. After seeing Guo Si, he asked first: The general was like a brother and a great Sima in the past, so why did he have to fight with each other today?

After hearing this, Guo Si replied angrily: This general treats Li Jue well, but he repeatedly attacks this general. If it weren't for his alertness, he would have died long ago. If he wanted to stop the battle, he would never have been able to do so.

Seeing that he could not persuade Guo Si, Huangfu Li turned around and went to Li Jue's camp. As soon as he saw Li Jue, he had not had time to speak, Li Jue said first: Are you a lobbyist for Guo Adu? If so, then don't open your mouth and leave the camp. Otherwise, I know you, but I don't know the sword in my hand.

Huangfu Li, who had been persuaded to reconcile, returned to Chang'an City in a dilemma, reported to Yang Biao and Zhu Jun, and said: The two lords, their subordinates have insulted their mission and did not persuade them to stop the truce.

Yang Biao sighed and said: Li and Guo don’t stop fighting for a day, and the people outside Chang'an City will be in peace for a day. He turned his head and looked at Zhu Jun and said helplessly that he didn’t expect that some things would be worse than you and I imagined.

Just as the three of them were chatting, a small school came to report to the Grand Marshal, and there was smoke and dust rolling in the east of the city, as if a large army was coming.

When Huangfu Li heard the school that a large army was coming, he looked panicked, but Yang Biao and Zhu Jun showed joy. Zhu Jun lowered his head and asked the school: I'm here to ask you, what are the flags of the troops coming?

The little school thought for a while, shook his head and replied: The little one only saw the smoke and dust in the distance, and had never seen the soldiers and horses, so he could not guess where the soldiers and horses were coming?

The two lords, Huangfu Li, bowed to Yang Biao and Zhu Jun, and said: Now the two thieves Li and Guo are fighting in the west of the city, and now another army is coming to the east of the city. What should we do?

Don’t worry, Yang Biao knew that the soldiers coming from the east must be Yang Feng’s soldiers, so he was not worried at all. On the contrary, he smiled and said to Huangfu Li: If you want to know which team you are coming, you just need to follow me to the city tower and look at it.

The three of them arrived at the city tower at the east gate. At this moment, the soldiers and horses were approaching the city. Zhu Jun saw clearly the four big words "Yang Feng, the Han Dynasty" written on the flag in the distance, and confirmed that Yang Feng's soldiers and horses were coming.

The army came to a stone's throw from the city and stopped. Then a general holding the Xuanhua Axe rushed out of the formation and rushed to the moat. He looked up at the city wall and shouted to the city tower: I am Xu Huang, the subordinate of the General Yang Feng of the Central Army. Please open the city gate and let our troops enter the city.

Huangfu Li felt a little relieved when she heard that Yang Feng's troops were coming. From the fact that these troops were still a stone's away from the city, she stopped and judged that they had no intention of siege. Therefore, he turned his head and asked Yang Biao and Zhu Jun: Two sirs, what should we do? Open the city gate and let them in?

Let’s wait! Zhu Jun, who has always been cautious, raised his hand to stop Yang Biao, who was about to order someone to open the city gate, and said to the two: I have never seen this general who called the door before. It’s better to let Yang Feng come over, it’s not too late for us to open the door again.

When Yang Biao heard Zhu Jun say this, he felt that it was still a little reasonable. So he shouted to Xu Huang below: General Yang Feng comes over, I have something to say to him.

When Xu Huang heard Yang Biao say this, he couldn't help but show a embarrassed expression on his face. Yang was ordered to come and call him to open the city gate. Unexpectedly, after calling for a long time, the city not only did not open the city gate, but also asked him to call the master general over. But there was no way. If he did not call the master general over, maybe the city would not open the city gate for him at all.

Xu Huang returned to the formation and told Yang Fengyi about the matter, and finally said: Whether the general will take risks personally depends on the general's personal decision.

Yang Feng felt that since he had led his troops here, if the other party was kept in a closed door because he refused to talk to the people on the city, it would inevitably have an adverse impact on the morale of the army. Thinking of this, he asked Xu Huang to stay in the central army, while he brought fifty cavalry to the city of Chang'an in person.

Yang Feng rode his horse to the moat and shouted to the city tower: Hey, listen to the people in the city, I am Yang Feng, the general of the Central Army. I wonder which adult is in the city?

When Yang Biao saw the person who called the city under the city, it was indeed Yang Feng, he felt much more at ease. He quickly poked out half of his body from the chassis and said to Yang Feng under the city: General Yang Biao, I am the Grand Marshal Yang Biao. Please wait for a while, I will order people to open the city gate and ask the general's troops to enter the city.

After the city gate opened, Yang Fengxian brought fifty cavalry into the city. But he walked through the long door hole and came to the city. When he saw Yang Biao and Zhu Jun standing outside the door hole, he quickly turned over and dismounted, bowed to the two of them with his fists: Yang Feng, the general of the Central Army, had seen the Grand Marshal and the Grand Marshal.

Yang Biao and Zhu Jun quickly stepped forward to support Yang Feng. Yang Biao smiled and said: General is coming in time. Now that your troops arrive, Li Guo and others outside the city are not worth worrying.

Although Li and Guo had been fighting for several days, since Yang Feng did not send a detailed work to the capital, he had no idea what happened. He only received the military order drafted by Yang Biao and Zhu Jun, and then hurriedly led his troops here. After hearing Yang Biao's words, he couldn't help but be confused. He asked in surprise: I dare to ask the two lords, I wonder what happened to the two generals Li Jue and Guo Si? Could it be that the last general led his troops to the capital was also related to the two of them?

This matter is a long story, so let's talk as we go. Zhu Jun left Huangfu Li to pick up Yang Feng's army and horses into the city, while he and Yang Biao guided Yang Feng to the west gate, preparing to let him see the scene of the battle between the two armies.

Yang Feng followed Yang Biao and Zhu Jun to the west gate. Standing on the city wall and looking out the city, he saw tens of thousands of people fighting more than two hundred steps away from the city. He looked carefully at the banners of both sides and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He turned his head and asked Yang Biao: Why did the Grand Marshal and the General meet outside the city? I wonder what happened?

Yang Biao naturally would not tell Yang Feng stupidly that it was because of his counter-espionage plan that Li Jue and Guo Si turned against each other and became enemies. He could only say vaguely: I don’t know about this. I only know that late at night a few days ago, the city suddenly shouted and killed in the sky, and thought it was Ma Teng and Han Sui’s troops who rushed into the city. After sending people to inquire, they realized that it was Li Jue and Guo Si, two generals, who fought each other for some reason.

After Yang Biao finished speaking, Zhu Jun and Yang Biao blew towards the battlefield where the melee outside the city and said: From that day to now, it has been five days since. Both sides fought at sunrise and returned at sunset. It would be fine if the two armies were just fighting, but many chaotic troops took the opportunity to attack some villages outside the city, leaving nine out of ten families empty outside the city. Those who escaped by chance all entered Chang'an City.

Yang Feng thought of the way he had just arrived and saw many refugees begging or selling children along the way, probably the villagers who fled from outside the city. Thinking of this, he nodded, looked at Yang Biao and asked: Taiwei, I wonder what the last general can do?

Li and Guo can no longer fight like this. If Li and Guo did not harm the people outside the city, Yang Biao would have hoped that the more intense the two of them would fight, the better. But at this moment, he only hoped that both sides could cease the battle earlier and let the people suffer less. Therefore, he told Yang Feng: Since the general has troops in his hands, he might as well make an appointment with both sides and persuade them to stop the army.

Yang Biao thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Feng would agree without hesitation. Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking for a long time, Yang Feng was still lowering his head and thinking, with an expression of uncertainty on his face.

Seeing Yang Feng's expression, Yang Biao looked stern and asked: General Yang, are you afraid of Li Jue and Guo Si?

Not afraid, he is not good, after all, he is a subordinate of Li Jue. Yang Feng said in his heart: If Li Jue ordered him to attack Guo Si, would he be ordered or disobeyed? It is precisely because he was considering these powerful relationships that Yang Feng had not spoken for a long time.

Fortunately, Zhu Jun is an experienced person. He guessed Yang Feng’s thoughts at a glance, and said to him with a smile: General Yang, are you worried that you are Li Jue’s subordinate and that you are a little unreasonable when you act?

That's right, the general of the Mo did have such concerns. Yang Feng did not hide it, but answered truthfully: Not to mention that the general of the Mo was once a subordinate of Li Jue. Even if it was not, I didn't have many soldiers. Once the fight started, I would probably be a little overwhelmed.

Yang Feng's words made Yang Biao and Zhu Jun fall into deep thought. They were thinking: If both sides agree, they will naturally be happy; if the other party cannot accept the mediation, they will join forces to attack Yang Feng. With Yang Feng's strength, they will not be the opponent of the two.

Just when everyone was at a loss, they suddenly heard the soldiers under the city shouting loudly: The city tower is heavy, and the idle people are waiting to get close to each other and will not leave.

Everyone looked down at the city and saw Xu Shu and several people standing by the city gate, wanting to go up the city wall from here to see Yang Biao and Zhu Jun, but they were blocked by the soldiers guarding the city. Zhu Jun and Yang Biao winked and said loudly to the bottom: Let them come up.

Xu Shu came to the city wall, saluted the two of them, then turned to look at Yang Feng, and asked with a smile: If Xu was not wrong, this must be General Yang Feng, the general of the Central Army?

Below is Yang Feng. After Yang Feng bowed his fists to Xu Shu, he asked curiously: You don’t know what to call him?

After Xu Shu in Yingchuan Xu Yuanzhi. After Xu Shu revealed his identity, he bowed to Yang Feng: I have met General Yang.

After the two of them finished the ceremony, Zhu Jun and others pulled Xu Shu aside, told him what he was embarrassed about, and finally asked: I wonder if Yuan Zhi has any way to resolve the current situation?

General Yang and Xu Shu did not answer Zhu Jun’s question immediately, but asked Yang Feng first: I wonder how many people you brought to the capital?

Ten thousand people. When Yang Feng heard Xu Shu's question, he immediately replied: Among them, there were five thousand cavalrymen.

Ten thousand people! After Xu Shu repeated this number, he smiled and said to Yang Biao and Zhu Jun: With so many soldiers, he must be more than enough to deal with Li and Guo.

Yuan Zhi and Zhu Jun couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise when they heard Xu Shu say this: Although Li and Guo had fought for several days, their soldiers were still as many as 30,000 to 40,000, and the two sides had nearly 100,000. Just with Yang Feng's 15,000 people, it would be easy to defeat them!

The Grand Secretary’s Ethnic Group should not worry. Xu Shu said to Zhu Jun: If General Yang is asked to deal with the two thieves Li Guo alone, this little bit of troops will be a little less. But if he helps one of them and deals with the other, then his strength will be more than enough.

After hearing Xu Shu's statement, Yang Biao was confused. After all, Zhu Jun was an old general. After hearing Xu Shu's words, he thought for a while and guessed Xu Shu's thoughts, and asked tentatively: Yuan Zhi, are you planning to ask Yang Feng to contact one of the parties to deal with the other?

Before Xu Shu could answer, Zhu Jun shook his head and said: It's not right. If General Yang was also involved in this melee, let alone mediation, it would probably take a long time for his troops to be lost.

The Grand Minister listened to Xu's words. Xu Shu looked at Zhu Jun and said: Let General Yang mediate for Li Guo and the other two, and let the two cease to fight. If they were willing to obey General Yang's mediation, it would be fine to stop the battle. If anyone refused, General Yang could contact the other party to deal with him together.

When they heard about Xu Shu’s arrangement, the few people thought about it and nodded at the same time, saying: Wonderful, it’s indeed a wonderful plan.

Yang Biao smiled and said: After a series of fierce battles, Li and Guo's strength was damaged, and now they are evenly matched. If someone comes to mediate, they are worried that the other party will collude with the mediator and it will be unfavorable to them, and they will definitely stop the battle. After saying this, he told Yang Feng that General Yang, you can send a messenger to the military camp of Li and Guo and ask them to come out to meet again, and you will be mediated.

After a stick of incense, the two messengers took Yang Feng's letters and left the city from the open city gate, rushed to Li Guo and his two camps, and handed Yang Feng's letters to Li Jue and Guo Si.
