Chapter 303

It's no wonder Han Xian was so pessimistic.

No matter from which angle you consider it, the White Waves were in an extremely disadvantaged position.

In the past, a Hua Xiong with 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry could kill the White Waves until they threw away their helmets and armor.

Not to mention Gu Yi personally taking the field?

Yang Feng ignored Han Xian.

Instead, he got up from his seat and paced back and forth.

After a full quarter of an hour.

A trace of helplessness flashed across his face.

Subsequently, he turned and said to Han Xian:

"Brother Han, for the current plan, there are only two solutions."

"One is to surrender to Gu Linzhi."

"The other is to abandon Bai Bo Valley and go north to join Yuan Benchu!"

"But no matter which one, I'm afraid you and I will only be able to live a life under others in the future."

As the voice fell.

Han Xian fell into a long silence.

He and Yang Feng, unless it was a last resort, really didn't want to join other forces.

The original history also proved this.

The reason why the Bai Bo power chose to help Liu Xie was precisely because they were fooled by Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng fooled Yang Feng and Han Xian.

And promised them.

That after establishing the capital in Luoyang, all the power of the imperial government would be handed over to them.

But what was the result?

The Bai Bo bandit power and the Li Jue and Guo Si power launched several great battles, losing countless soldiers and generals.

After finally escaping from Chang'an to Luoyang.

The fruits of victory were picked clean by Cao Cao, who had been waiting for a long time.

The Bai Bo bandits were furious and fought with Cao Cao again.

But the soldiers under their command had already suffered heavy losses.

And they were exhausted.

How could they be the opponents of Cao Cao and the Yanzhou elite?

In the end.

Yang Feng and Han Xian were defeated and took their remaining forces south to join Yuan Shu.

On the eve of Yuan Shu declaring himself emperor, when the two went north to plunder grain, they died in the hands of Liu Bei, who was supported by Cao Cao!

And they were lured and killed by Liu Bei!

It can be said that their way of dying was stifling to the extreme.

However, returning to the root.

It was still the ambition of Yang Feng and Han Xian that was at work.

These two violated Yuan Shu's orders.

Privately led the remnants of the Bai Bo army north to plunder grain.

Their goal was precisely to break free from Yuan Shu's control over them and once again become people who carved out their own territories.

You know.

In original history, the reason Yang Feng and Han Xian agreed to send troops to help Liu Xie was because they were aiming for the goal of "holding the Son of Heaven hostage"!

But not only did they fail to hold the Son of Heaven hostage, they instead ended up working for Cao Cao's benefit for nothing.

This made the two of them feel very stifled.

And now.

Although the power of the Bai Bo bandits was far less powerful than in history.

But in the hearts of Yang Feng and Han Xian.

They still wanted to become unrestrained earth emperors who controlled one side.

They didn't want to be under anyone's control.

Therefore.

The two felt very conflicted about joining Dong Zhuo or joining Yuan Shao.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Yang Feng's mind, and he smiled slightly:

"Brother Han, perhaps we two can pretend to join Yuan Shao first."

"Anyway, with Yuan Shao's current strength, it is not enough to completely annex us."

"But if we defect to Dong Zhuo, we will definitely be eaten until not even the dregs are left!"

Han Xian nodded deeply, agreeing with what Yang Feng said.

The failure of the coalition's second crusade against Dong Zhuo marked that the power under Yuan Shao had suffered heavy trauma again.

Under such circumstances.

If the Bai Bo bandits chose to join Yuan Shao, they could still wait for a price to sell.

Or, after passing this crisis, choose to betray Yuan Shao and set up another mountain.

But if they join Dong Zhuo, the Bai Bo bandits will definitely be reorganized.

At that time.

The best ending for Yang Feng and Han Xian, perhaps, would be to become a wealthy man in Chang'an.

In other words.

They would never have the chance to become earth emperors who dominate one side again.

Just do it.

The ambition in their hearts constantly stimulated Yang Feng and Han Xian.

After some discussion.

The two decided to abandon Bai Bo Valley, lead the army to withdraw north, and send envoys to contact Yuan Shao.

However.

What Yang Feng and Han Xian didn't know was.

The reason why they received the news that Gu Yi was about to send troops to attack Bai Bo Valley was precisely because Gu Yi specially released this news.

Just when the two were discussing temporarily joining Yuan Shao to protect themselves.

In a hidden camp in Bai Bo Valley.

Xu Huang was sitting opposite a blue-robed scholar.

This blue-robed scholar was precisely Fa Zheng, who had come here under Gu Yi's order!

And beside Fa Zheng, there were Huang Zhong and Zhang Xiu accompanying him.

Seeing Fa Zheng personally pour a cup of wine for Xu Huang, he smiled:

"General Gongming, Bai Bo Valley is just a small place after all, it doesn't match your ability and ambition."

"Besides, as a person of the Xu family of Hedong, why follow the Bai Bo bandits to the end?"

Xu Huang originally came from the Xu family, a powerful clan in Hedong.

The biggest difference between a powerful clan and an aristocratic family.

Is that a powerful clan is just an upstart, having some influence locally, but not worth mentioning when looking at the entire Great Han.

A few years ago, the Bai Bo power in Hedong was great.

As a local county official in Hedong, Xu Huang was forced to join the White Waves in order to preserve his family.

Given that Xu Huang was quite capable, Yang Feng promoted Xu Huang to be the first general beside him.

But for the Bai Bo bandits, Xu Huang never had that much sense of belonging.

He was originally forced to join.

So how could there be any loyalty? ===== CHAPTER 304 =====
