One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 368 The Death of Yang Feng

"What did Tianyu say?" Cai Yong asked immediately after hearing Qin Yi's words.

Qin Yi was silent for a while, and then said: "Everyone should know that Cao Xing and Hao Meng of Lv Bujun were captured by me. Although they have not surrendered to me, I have chatted with them. According to Cao Xing Said that among the generals in Lu Bu's army, Gao Shun is the one he admires the most."

When everyone heard it, they were a little surprised.

"General Qin, Gao Shun is not well-known, so why does Cao Xing admire him the most?" Wang Jing hesitated.

Qin Yidao: "According to Cao Xing, Gao Shun is a low-key man who rarely speaks and never drinks alcohol. He has no close friendship with the generals in Lu Bu's army. But he acts steadily and runs the army rigorously. He is one of the generals. Cai. Although Yang Feng brought three thousand soldiers this time, Hou Cheng and Gao Shun also led two thousand soldiers, and they are all Bingzhou soldiers who are good at fighting under Lu Bu's command. Yang Feng may not have a chance of winning if he meets Gao Shun!"

Zhang Liao opened and closed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.Qin Yi noticed Zhang Liao's behavior and asked, "What does Wen Yuan want to say?"

Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yang Feng may not be able to fight with Lu Bu's army."

"Why?" Qin Yi asked.

Zhang Liao said: "Shaan County is located in the south of the Yellow River, but Yang Feng started from the north of the Yellow River. Although the Yellow River is in a dry season at this time of year, as far as I know, the water flow of the Yellow River in Shan County is still relatively abundant. Yang Feng was in a hurry. If you are marching without a boat, how can you cross the Yellow River?"

"Hey, that's right, didn't Yang Feng know that the Yellow River blocked him? Then why did he go to Shan County?" After Zhang Liao's reminder, Qin Yi suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Perhaps Yang Feng had never been to Shaanxi County and only looked at the marching route from the map. He could not estimate the size of the Yellow River's flow at all." Zhang Liao said.

Qin Yi nodded lightly: "I don't rule out this possibility. Qin has never been to Shan County, and if Wen Yuan hadn't reminded him, Qin would not have realized that there is still a Yellow River separating the north and south of Shan County."

Having said that, Qin Yi still felt something was wrong.Yang Feng couldn't think of this, could it be that Li Le couldn't think of it either?
Li Le also said that he once persuaded Yang Feng not to make extra troubles, but to keep Xiangling well.But Yang Feng insisted on not listening and insisted on going to Shan County.What's more, he didn't even say hello to me before leaving, what is he afraid of me?
Qin Yi frowned in thought, and the others saw that he was lost in thought, so they didn't bother him.

After a while, Qin Yi's eyes suddenly brightened: "I understand, Yang Feng actually doesn't want to cross the Yellow River."

When everyone heard this, they became even more puzzled.

Qin Yi said: "He probably wants to occupy a city near the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River. It is just a cover for him to lead troops to Shan County to attack Lu Bu's army."

Seeing the doubts on everyone's faces, Qin Yi said: "Before, Dong Yue and Yang Ding led troops to attack Xiangling County. When the news of Dong Zhuo's death spread here, Dong Yue and Yang Ding withdrew. After I came to Xiangling, Yang Feng once wanted to seize the opportunity to occupy the east of Hedong County. But I don't think so. Yang Feng's military adviser Li Le also advised Yang Feng not to do so. But soon, Yang Feng's scouts found out that there was an army escorting his family. After leaving Tongguan, head east. Only then did Yang Feng make up his mind to intercept this army."

As soon as Qin Yi said this, Zhang Liao said, "Could it be that Yang Feng used this as an excuse to send troops south to occupy Dayang County?"

"Dayang County?" Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment.

Zhang Liao said: "Dayang County is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, across the river from Shan County. If Yang Feng occupied Dayang County, it would be tantamount to blocking the ferry on the upper Yellow River. The eastern part of Hedong County is already sparsely populated. Once the ferry is blocked, half of Hedong County can be occupied immediately."

"That's right!" Qin Yi nodded and said, "No wonder Yang Fenghui sent troops in such a hurry. He was afraid that Li Le and I would figure out his real intentions and try to dissuade him. This Yang Feng actually played tricks on me. Little Smart is here!"

Cai Yong didn't speak all the time, but when he heard this, he smiled immediately: "Although the old man and Yang Feng have never met, but after listening to Tian Yu and Wen Yuan's analysis, they feel that Yang Feng's temperament is unstable and he acts too freely."

Qin Yi also laughed angrily: "Yang Feng... well, I haven't been able to figure him out until now." Speaking of this, Qin Yi deliberately tested Zhang Liao and asked him: "Wen Yuan, what do you think, Is Yang Feng's move beneficial or harmful?"

Zhang Liao pondered for a while, then said: "I heard that Yang Fenggang returned to the imperial court of Yecheng, and the emperor of Yecheng named him the prefect of Xihe County. Is there such a thing?"

"That's right!" Qin Yi nodded, "He was brought to the imperial court of Yecheng by Qin."

"Zhang believes that if Yang Feng has completely controlled Xihe County, it will be of great benefit to him if he covets the land of Hedong. But if he has not yet controlled Xihe, but wants to occupy another county, the harm will outweigh the benefits. .”

Qin Yi nodded, and said: "I and Li Le also advised him in the same way. But he insisted on going his own way. By the way, Li Le probably saw Yang Feng's real intentions, so he instigated me to chase Yang Feng, hoping to borrow money from him. My mouth dissuades Yang Feng."

"Since Tian Yu has guessed Yang Feng's real intention, how should he deal with this matter now?" Cai Yong asked curiously.

Qin Yi said: "I'll continue to go south. One, the conclusion just now is just my speculation, and I can't count it; two, since Li Le has entrusted this matter to me, then I have to meet Yang Feng. As for whether I can persuade him, it is not up to me to decide."

Cai Yong nodded and said: "Tianyu just go south, I will go to Xiangling to wait for you."

"Alright!" Qin Yi also agreed with Cai Yong's decision, so he called Pei Ji over and introduced him to everyone.Then, he ordered Pei Ji to accompany Cai Yong to Xiangling.

After the soldiers had finished eating, Qin Yi allocated 50 people to Pei Ji to accompany Cai Yong to the north.He himself led the remaining soldiers and continued southward.

After spending most of the afternoon, Qin Yi marched another hundred miles and arrived at Xiayang City.

Xiayang City was an important city in the Zhou Dynasty, but it has become a town at this time.Affected by Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital last year, the people in the east of Hedong County were forced to move westward by Dong Zhuo. The population became very sparse, Xiayang City was also abandoned, and there were only a few dozen households in the town.

Here, it is only forty miles away from Dayang County.It was already dark, so Qin Yi ordered to rest in the town.

In this town, most of the houses have been burned down, but fortunately, Qin Yi's troops are not many, and some of the remaining houses can still be crowded for one night.Qin Yi didn't arrange for soldiers to set up camp either.

After driving for nearly two days, Qin Yi was also exhausted. After dinner, he quickly fell asleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Qin Yi suddenly woke up.

Hey, there seems to be the sound of horseshoes.

Qin Yi has been in battle for a long time, and he is very sensitive to the movement on the battlefield.He immediately pricked up his ears, carefully discerning the movement he heard.

That's right, it was the sound of horseshoes, or the sound of a large group of cavalry riding their horses.Although the sound was still very weak, it was extremely dull, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

Just as Qin Yi was about to go out and send someone to investigate, at this moment, a soldier on guard duty walked into Qin Yi's sleeping room.

"My lord, just now, the brothers stationed on the south side of the town came to report that they found a large fire about ten miles to the south and heard the sound of horses' hoofs. There should be a large group of cavalry marching at night."
