Chapter 292
Besides, Yang Feng has been uneasy since he sent an envoy to Han Zhan's place. He was worried that Han Zhan would hold grudges in his heart and still remembered the fact that he led people to attack him by the Yellow River. Second, he thought that he had just been independent for a few months, but now he was dependent on others. After thinking about it, he felt uneasy, so he ordered someone to invite Xu Huang to discuss the matter together.
Xu Huang was woken up from his sleep in the middle of the night. He thought something big happened, so he hurried to Yang Feng's tent. He clasped his fists and bowed to Yang Feng, and asked strangely: "General, I don't know what is the important thing to do in the middle of the night?"
"Gongming," Yang Feng called Xu Huang to sit down and said to him: "I sent an envoy to the Jizhou Patriarchate today, hoping that he could accommodate me."
"What, the general sent someone to meet the Jizhou Mu?" After hearing Yang Feng say this, Xu Huang immediately stood up and said, "The Jizhou Mu is just a child with yellow mouth. How can the general join him?"
"Now that this general was defeated by Li Jue, there were very few troops left." Yang Feng said helplessly: "If you don't seek refuge with the governor of Jizhou, who should you seek refuge with?"
"In today's chaotic times, heroes are rising together. Generals can completely seize one side. If they merge, they have to rely on others?" Xu Huang said to Yang Feng: "It's better to recall the envoy immediately."
Yang Feng was unwilling to live under someone else's roof, otherwise he would not have betrayed Li Jue. Hearing Xu Huang say this, he couldn't help but be moved. Although he wanted to recall the envoy sent immediately, he said with concern: "Gongming, if the Jizhou Mu had agreed to accept us, wouldn't he have a breakup with the Jizhou Mu?"
"The Jizhou Governor is just a child who is afraid that he will do anything." Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xu Huang said disapprovingly: "Even if we recall the envoy in front of him, he will have no choice but to do anything to us."
Xu Huang's words completely moved Yang Feng. Just as he was about to send someone to recall his envoy, a soldier outside walked into the tent quickly and came to Yang Feng to kneel down on one knee, saying, "Report to General, the envoy you sent to the Jizhou Patriarchate has returned, and you are waiting outside the tent at this moment."
Hearing that his envoy was back, Yang Feng was anxious to know Han Zhan’s reply and quickly ordered the soldier: “Speak him in quickly!”
After a while, the messenger quickly walked into the tent and came to Yang Feng to bow and bow: "See General!"
Yang Feng walked quickly to the messenger and asked anxiously: "You are back! Tell me quickly, how did the Jizhou Mu answer you?"
"If you go back to the general, your subordinates never saw the governor of Jizhou, but only saw his subordinate general Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng on the bank of the Yellow River." The envoy quickly replied: "Later, General Huang passed on a message saying: If the general sincerely surrenders, he can lead the navy down the river tomorrow and meet with them on the bank of the Yellow River."
After hearing this, Xu Huang asked first without waiting for Yang Feng to express his opinion: "How many soldiers do they have?"
The messenger thought for a while and replied, "There are probably 70,000 to 80,000 people."
"Seventy or eighty thousand people?" Yang Feng was shocked when he heard this number: "Are you deceived me? According to the report of the horse, most of the Jizhou army remained in Chang'an. Where did so many people come from around the Jizhou Mu?"
"The subordinates dare not." The envoy replied respectfully: "According to the subordinates' observation, there are only less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest are the people who moved out of Chang'an City."
"What, there are tens of thousands of people walking with them?" Yang Feng was startled by the envoy's words again: "It's over. If this is true, even if the Jizhou Governor gave up Chang'an, it would be useless. We have no use in an empty city without people."
Xu Huang was also shocked by this unexpected news. He knew very well that if the city had no more people, where would the army go to collect grain and recruit soldiers? Therefore, he began to consider whether he should persuade Yang Feng to give up his claim of independence, or to be honest in submitting to the Jizhou Governor.
After Yang Feng was silent for a while, he suddenly burst into laughter. Xu Huang asked quickly: "Why is the general laughing?"
"I think the Jizhou Mu led tens of thousands of people to accompany him. Even if he had 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses around him, if he encountered a soldier, he would probably be defeated." Yang Feng said with some disdain: "It seems that this Huangkou child only has the kindness of a woman, but he does not know how to dispatch soldiers and generals. What a pity, it's such a pity!"
After Yang Feng finished expressing his feelings, the envoy said, "Report to the general, my subordinates heard from the soldiers in the camp that they had fought with Bai Bo's soldiers, Han Xian, Li Le and Hu Cai a few days ago. The team had 40,000 to 50,000 people. As a result, less than an hour of confrontation with them, the Bai Bo soldiers collapsed. Except for Han Xian and a few people escaped, the rest were either killed in battle or surrendered. Even Li Le and Hu Cai died on the spot."
When Yang Feng learned that Han Zhan's troops had almost wiped out 40,000 to 50,000 Bai Bo's soldiers in less than an hour, Yang Feng couldn't help but gasp and had to re-examine the young Jizhou governor who was despised by him. Xu Huang, who was standing aside, saw that Yang Feng was reluctant to speak, quickly asked him for instructions: "General, what should we do next? Should we choose a place to become independent or surrender to the Jizhou governor?"
"Gongming, you just heard that the soldiers of Jizhou Governor defeated Bai Bo's 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in less than an hour. If it was against each other, we would not be their opponent at all." Yang Feng said helplessly: "Since you can't beat it, with the view of this general, it's better to surrender."
After Yang Fengyi finished speaking, Xu Huang quickly bowed and said, "Since the general has decided to surrender to the Jizhou Governor, Huang will gather people and prepare to take a boat south after dawn to join the Jizhou Governor."
Although Yang Feng said he wanted to surrender to Han Zhan, he was still unwilling to accept it. At this moment, he heard Xu Huang say he wanted to order his troops and make preparations, he couldn't help laughing awkwardly, and then said: "Gongming, it's too late at this moment, and the soldiers have already rested. It's not appropriate to wake them up at this moment. You'd better go back early to rest. It's not too late to talk about this matter until tomorrow."
Xu Huang didn't know Yang Feng's heart. He really thought the other party was thinking about the soldiers in the camp, so he quickly bowed and said goodbye to Yang Feng: "I will leave!"
After dawn, Xu Huang left the tent where he lived. Seeing that there was no sign of assembly in the camp, he ran into Yang Feng's tent curiously and asked in confusion: "General, the sky is already bright, I wonder when the troops will set off?"
"Gongming," Yang Feng said to Xu Huang with a frown: "I wonder if Jizhou Mu will still think about the last time we intercepted him by the river. If he was a narrow-minded person, once we went to join him, we might end up dead without a complete body."
Seeing Yang Feng so indecisive, Xu Huang hurriedly said, "Since the general has decided to surrender to the Jizhou Governor, he should not be so scrupulous. If he was a narrow-minded person, he would probably not have so many counselors and generals assisted him now. Huang can use his head to guarantee it. If the general is sincere, the Jizhou Governor will definitely treat the general well."
Yang Feng, who was undecided, heard Xu Huang say this and knew that he could no longer be swaying and had to make the last choice immediately. He suddenly stood up and said, "Since Gongming said this, we will immediately set off the camp and go down the river to join the Jizhou Governor."
The soldiers in the army had long heard of Han Zhan, the governor of Jizhou. They had suffered a great loss under Li Jue's men. When they heard that Han Zhan's troops easily defeated Li Jue, they regarded him as an incomparable hero. At this moment, they heard Xu Huang say that he would immediately set off the camp and go down the river to join the governor of Jizhou, they all cheered.
Besides, Yang Feng has been uneasy since he sent an envoy to Han Zhan's place. He was worried that Han Zhan would hold grudges in his heart and still remembered the fact that he led people to attack him by the Yellow River. Second, he thought that he had just been independent for a few months, but now he was dependent on others.
