Chapter 1344

~5 min read 873 words

Yang Feng hurriedly raised his wine glass with both hands: "I dare not, I dare not... I have admired the Lord Marquis for a long time. That day in Baibo Valley was really forced by the situation. That day, I was on the west bank of the Fen River and saw the Lord Marquis descending like a god, and I admired him very much."

Duan Yu's eyebrows raised: "Oh?

Was General Yang also there when I was in Baibo Valley?"

Yang Feng nodded hurriedly and said with a bitter smile: "Yes, Lord Marquis, I was lucky that day, otherwise, I am afraid I wouldn't be able to sit here and drink with the Lord Marquis."

Duan Yu smiled.

"Lord Marquis, to tell you the truth, my turning from darkness to light this time is not entirely because of me alone. I have someone to introduce to the Lord Marquis." Yang Feng looked at Yang Qi beside him.

Duan Yu was also wondering about this question, why did Yang Feng suddenly rebel?

And there was no sign at all.

There must be some reason for this.

So he looked at Yang Feng patiently, waiting for an explanation.

"Lord Marquis, this is Yang Qi, Yang Gongting, from the Hongnong Yang clan," Yang Feng introduced while looking at Yang Qi: "Actually, my turning from darkness to light is mostly because of the Hongnong Yang clan."

Hmm?

Hongnong Yang clan?

"To tell you the truth, Lord Marquis, I originally came from the Hongnong Yang clan, but it was a side branch, and the family fell into decline early on."

When Yang Feng was speaking, Yang Qi also stood up and saluted Duan Yu.

"I am Yang Qi, ordered by the head of the family, the Marquis of Linjin, to visit the Marquis of Ji."

Marquis of Linjin, Yang Biao?

Duan Yu was even more confused now.

Yang Biao...

"Marquis of Ji, the head of the family learned that the Marquis of Ji wanted to support the Great Xia in its collapse and destroy the demon queen who usurped the power of the country, so he specifically sent me to persuade General Yang to turn from darkness to light."

"The head of the family said, the Hongnong Yang clan has received the grace of the state for generations and eats the monarch's salary."

"The demon queen usurped the tripod, the hen crows at dawn, and framed the Crown Prince in the deep court."

"The loyal and good are wronged, white bones are exposed in the wild; the treacherous and sycophants fill the court, such things are intolerable to heaven."

"The Yang clan should naturally support the Marquis of Ji's move."

Duan Yu understood.

He didn't expect that his recruitment of those noble clans in Guanzhong hadn't succeeded yet, but he had already brought the Hongnong Yang clan over.

Not to mention why Yang Biao defected, but this was definitely a good thing.

Yang Biao's persuasion of Yang Feng to rebel this time directly broke the siege of Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Zhang Wen outside Hangu Pass.

Indirectly, it was equivalent to exposing the territory of Hongnong Commandery and Hedong Commandery to the Liangzhou military front.

This was definitely a great achievement.

"Good." Duan Yu laughed and looked at Yang Qi and said: "The Marquis of Linjin is so righteous, it is truly a great fortune for the country. Tomorrow, I will go to Hongnong to visit the Marquis of Linjin in person."

Yang Qi was overjoyed.

This mission was finally a complete success.

"Come, everyone, let's drink this cup together," Duan Yu said, raising his wine glass: "To celebrate the achievement of General Yang Feng and the achievement of the Marquis of Linjin, I will toast the two of you first. When the army returns to Chang'an in the future, such achievements will definitely be rewarded, and in the future, we will be colleagues as officials in the same court to support the Great Han."

Everyone in the room raised their wine glasses and drank them in one gulp.

Duan Yu's wine glass had just been placed on the table in front of him.

Zhao Yun, dressed in silver armor and white robes, walked into the hall with his chest held high.

"Reporting to the Lord Marquis, the end general pursued along the way and captured Zhu Jun alive," Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said to Duan Yu.

Duan Yu was stunned, then laughed out loud.

Last night, after he went out of the pass, he thought about killing Zhang Wen, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song first.

Unfortunately, it was dark at that time, and Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and Zhang Wen all escaped.

With such a large battlefield, more than two hundred thousand people were fighting together, and it was unrealistic to want to find one or two people.

So after fighting for a while, he let it go.

"Not bad, Zilong, bring the person up," Duan Yu said to Zhao Yun, who had performed a great service.

After Zhao Yun returned the salute, he turned around and escorted the trussed-up Zhu Jun into the hall.

After returning the salute, Zhao Yun turned around and had the hog-tied Zhu Jun brought up to the hall.
