If an hour before, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao brothers were full of confidence.
Then,
When they saw twenty thousand cavalry appear before their eyes, they were both a little stunned.
"Wh-what's going on?"
Looking at the neat black-armored cavalry not far away, Yuan Shao's mouth trembled slightly.
"Didn't you say Qin Feng was defeated?"
"Does this look like defeat?"
"This, this..."
"..."
Perhaps seeing that Yuan Shao couldn't describe it for a long time, Old Cao interjected:
"This doesn't look like they've even fought a war!"
"Exactly!"
Yuan Shao nodded fiercely, his face full of speechlessness.
Who spread the rumor?
Could it be that
The soldier who was beheaded was really sent by the Yellow Turban rebels to disrupt morale?
Yuan Shao became confused.
However,
Just as the two were thinking about how to greet them, Liu Bei, who was beside them, said softly.
"Your Excellencies, is there a possibility that they have allied with the Yellow Turbans?"
"Hiss~!"
"This..."
As Liu Bei's voice fell, Yuan Shao and Old Cao suddenly looked up.
"This, this wouldn't be the case, would it?"
"Why wouldn't it be?"
Pointing to the cavalry slowly stopping not far away, Liu Bei said with resentment in his tone:
"Qin Feng is the vanguard, and a rebel. Isn't it normal for him to send people to spread false intelligence?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Yuan Shao's eyes brightened again.
"You mean, Hulao Pass might not have been breached yet?"
"This..."
Liu Bei's tone faltered, and he stammered twice, not knowing what to say. m..oΓg
He was also confused!
If Qin Feng had allied with the Yellow Turbans, he would have believed it without hesitation.
But what was the situation now?
If they allied with the Yellow Turbans, wouldn't they be enemies?
Why was this guy coming with people with a smile on his face?
Yes!
That's right!
Seeing that Yuan Shao and others were dismantling the camp and preparing to depart, Qin Feng rode his horse to their side with a smile.
"Brother Benchu, Brother Mengde, Brother Xuande, what are you intending to do?"
"Ah? This..."
Facing Qin Feng, who seemed to be unaffected, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao didn't know what to say.
No way!
Brother!
Give us a clear answer! Are we allies or enemies?
You're making me panic!
Fortunately,
Liu Bei, the only normal person among the three, straightened his chest and asked:
"Prefect Qin, what is the situation with your battle against the Yellow Turbans?"
"What's the situation?"
Qin Feng cast a strange glance at Liu Bei and smiled, pointing behind him.
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Obvious?"
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, hearing this, their eyes lit up.
"Prefect Qin, are you saying you won?"
"Lost!"
"???"
As Qin Feng's words fell, question marks appeared above everyone's heads.
This?
Lost?
Looking again at the neatly armored cavalry, whose sabers didn't seem to have been unsheathed, the complaints in everyone's hearts were almost unbearable.
This is damn it... you're telling me you lost?
Even if you said you hadn't fought yet, it would be more believable than saying you lost!
"I just lost!"
Facing everyone's suspicious and contemptuous gazes, Qin Feng shrugged nonchalantly.
"Everyone, I sent people to deliver the battle report back. Haven't you seen it?"
"Sent, sent back?"
Yuan Shao, thinking of the soldier he had beheaded, felt a pang of guilt.
"I, I saw it, I just didn't expect, didn't expect that what he said was true!"
"Yes!"
Old Cao's eyes rolled slightly, and he added fuel to the fire next to Yuan Shao:
"At that time, Benchu thought he was a Yellow Turban rebel, and in a fit of rage, he beheaded him!"
"Hmm?!"
Hearing this, Qin Feng's expression froze, and he couldn't help but size up Yuan Shao.
How did this guy guess?
Indeed!
At that time, Qin Feng had casually grabbed a defeated Yellow Turban soldier and asked him to impersonate a Han soldier to report back.
He was afraid that the generals would get angry and take their anger out on the messenger.
He didn't expect him to guess correctly!
Of course!
Although he knew in his heart that it was a Yellow Turban rebel, Qin Feng's expression suddenly sank.
"Yuan Benchu, what do you mean by this?"
"I'm fighting hard in front, and even if I lose, I send people back to report in time."
"But what about you?"
"You killed my brother without distinguishing between right and wrong, do you really think Qin Feng won't kill people?"
"This, this..."
Feeling the killing intent in Qin Feng's tone, Yuan Shao's legs felt a little weak.
Fortunately,
Just as he was about to bow and surrender, Lü Bu, who had not said much, could no longer contain himself.
"A mere rebel dares to call himself a prefect? Do you really think there are no capable people in the Han dynasty!"
Lü Bu, holding a Fangtian Hua Ji, rode his horse to face Qin Feng.
"Lord Yuan, Lord Cao, don't worry, today I, Lü Bu, will sacrifice this person!"
"This..."
As Lü Bu's words fell, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
They were very tempted!
If they could really use this plan to kill Qin Feng, wouldn't they have made a great contribution?
On the other hand, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
This Lü Bu is also an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!
He had been so attentive to him for the past two days, and now he was speaking to them like this?
Would it kill him to call him Lord Liu?
Unfortunately,
Lü Bu had no idea that he was already on Liu Bei's mind. At this moment, he was eagerly looking at Qin Feng.
"Villain, do you dare to fight me?"
"Oh?"
Hearing Lü Bu's unrestrained provocation, Qin Feng's lips curled into a strange smile.
Good heavens!
He hadn't planned to use this guy to establish his authority, and this guy actually came to his door!
Forget it!
Anyway, after today, he would return to Youzhou. Leaving a legend here would be quite interesting.
Thinking of this,
Qin Feng reined in his horse, cupped his right hand, and shouted dramatically:
"Halberd!"
"???"
In the astonished eyes of Yuan Shao and others, a black Overlord Halberd appeared in Qin Feng's hand.
"Since you, Lü Fengxian, want to court death, how can I, this prefect, not cooperate?"
"Come on!"
"It's a bit cramped here, let's find another place to bury you!"
"You..."
The arrogant Lü Bu couldn't stand it. He squeezed his horse's flanks and galloped after him.
"This..."
Yuan Shao glanced at Cao Cao beside him and said with some eagerness:
"Brother Mengde, shall we go and see?"
"Let's take a look!"
Old Cao didn't take this matter seriously at the moment. Following Yuan Shao, he also rode after them.
So,
Liu Bei, who had been keeping a mental note, also added them to his list.
You all wait for me!
Today, how you looked down on me, Liu Bei, I will return it all one day!
"Brother Xuande, why aren't you coming?"
"Ah?"
"Coming!"
Liu Bei, who had been looking dejected moments ago, suddenly beamed and quickly rode to catch up.
.........
Liaodong,
Goguryeo,
While Qin Feng was toying with the court and the Yellow Turbans here, Gongsun Zan was also working hard there.
He was very motivated!
With the arduous search of the scouts, they had already entered Goguryeo territory.
Uh?
Or rather,
They had entered the vicinity of the Goguryeo royal city, and could launch a surprise attack at any time.
Yes!
That's right!
Gongsun Zan had never intended to defeat them one by one from the start. His target was the Goguryeo royal city.
As long as he could capture the Goguryeo royal city, what conditions could not be negotiated?
Of course!
This was just Gongsun Zan's subconscious thought. His biggest thought at the moment was to kill!
Kill them!
Kill them so that the Goguryeo people would be afraid of seeing Han people, and tremble at the sight of their Han people!
Only then,
Could the Han people living on the border not be targeted by those nomadic barbarians.
After all,
Han people with someone supporting them behind them are different from Han people who are left alone.
"General~!"
Just as Gongsun Zan was deep in thought, he heard the voice of a scout beside him.
"According to the guide's report, we will reach the Goguryeo royal city in about ten miles!"
"Oh?"
Gongsun Zan snapped back to his senses, glanced at the sky instinctively, and waved for everyone to stop.
"It's getting dark now, let's set up camp first, and act after dark!"
"Yes!"
As Gongsun Zan gave the order, the cavalry began to pack up the camp.
Seeing this,
Gongsun Zan once again sighed in his heart, what an elite force this was!
I don't know how Prefect Qin trained them, why can't I train them?
Could it be...
No money?!
Thinking of his initial dream, and then thinking of the white horses he had only acquired a few of...
Okay!
Having figured everything out, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but sigh.
It's good to have money!
Of course!
Although he sighed inwardly, Gongsun Zan did not forget why they were here.
Although they had decided to set up camp, hundreds of scouts had been dispatched around.
What if they encountered the enemy?
Of course, they would be killed!
If they were just ordinary herders, it would be fine, but there were not only herders around the royal city.
Therefore,
Without Gongsun Zan knowing, the scouts under his command had already killed quite a few people.
Although the royal city had not been discovered for the time being, if the scouts never returned, they would definitely discover it.
Now it remained to be seen whether they discovered it earlier, or whether Gongsun Zan was better prepared.
And Gongsun Zan, who was still unaware of all this, was not in a hurry at all.
In his opinion,
It was only a short distance of more than ten miles, and they could reach it in more than ten minutes on horseback.
Even if they were discovered by those Goguryeo people, what of it?
At worst, the surprise attack would turn into a frontal assault!
Anyway,
When attacking the royal city, it would definitely be a tough battle.
If the soldiers were not allowed to rest well at this time, what if they faltered later?
He didn't want his first expedition across the border to end in a hasty retreat.
At that time, he would not only be unable to explain to Qin Feng, but also to the families of these soldiers.
Therefore,
He was willing to risk being discovered, as long as the soldiers maintained their energy.
It would be good for everyone!
At that time,
With their strength, the soldiers could send their enemies to heaven with one sword!
