Chapter 85 The eagle can meet the tiger
That's right, Liu Feng wants to meet Huang Zhong in front of the single ride.
When the horse passed the order, a soldier unloaded his armor and abandoned his blade, rode out of the horse, and rushed to the opposite enemy's array.
According to the unwritten rules of the battlefield, the other party sends soldiers who are not armored and sharp, usually only as messengers. Therefore, in the near future, Huang Zhong did not order the archers to shoot, but sent two riders to intercept them more than ten steps away.
"General Huang, my young general asked the old general to ride alone in front of the two armies for a while."
The messenger's words surprised Huang Zhong. He thought that Liu Feng was arrogant and really planned to challenge himself with 800 people in the field, but when the battle was approaching, he suddenly had to meet alone. Huang Zhong couldn't figure out what the boy surnamed Liu was for a moment.
Seeing that Huang Zhong seemed to be hesitant, the soldier immediately said loudly in front of Huang Zhong's thousand subordinates, "Old general, it's just a single rider meeting. The old general won't be afraid."
The first general in the south of the Yangtze River, how can you be afraid of a child!
The soldier's words immediately angered Huang Zhong's ambition. He leaned in his martial arts. Even if he met alone, the boy surnamed Liu wanted to play any tricks, but he was not afraid.
Huang Zhong snorted coldly and shouted, "Go back and tell your general that I will not be afraid of him. It will be a while before the battle."
The soldier was in a cold sweat. Hearing Huang Zhong's promise, he quickly returned to the phalanx as if he had been granted amnesty.
When Liu Feng learned that Huang Zhong was willing to fight for a while, he waved his hand gently. The understanding horse immediately sent seven or eight soldiers. These people carried a few pairs of antlers to the central area of the two armies, where a simple obstacle was set up.
After the battle between Lushan and Xu Chu, Liu Feng was confident that his martial arts skills had been greatly advanced, but he was not confident enough to compete with Jiangnan's first sword. He knew very well that the veteran in front of him was as terrible as Xu Chu's beast.
Therefore, when Ma Yu gave Liu Feng this strategy of riding alone for a while before the battle, Liu Feng was still worried. At that time, if Huang Zhong changed before the battle, he would suddenly have a murderous opportunity, but what would be good.
Later, Liu Feng learned that according to the rules of this era, if the leaders of the two armies talked in front of the battle, they must set up antlers or dig trenches in advance, in order to beware of the other party's lack of credibility and take the opportunity to kill.
The obstacles were set up and the soldiers withdrew. As the proposer, Liu Feng came out first to show his sincerity.
Under the gaze of nearly thousands of people, Liu Feng's white horse silver robe, a sword on his waist, and a heavy gun slowly stepped into the two armies. Regardless of the relationship between the enemy, this unrestrained momentum alone made the Changsha soldiers on the opposite side secretly surprised.
Huang Zhong, who was on the opposite side, saw that Liu Feng had come out of the battle, so he also carried a big knife, hung up the treasure bow, and pulled out the horse. After a while, the two stopped at a distance of five steps, around the antler.
Liu Feng looked at the old and strong veteran in front of him. Although he could not feel the strong sense of oppression like Xu Chu's beast from the other party, the grand opening, like a pine in the sky, still made people feel daunted. Those eyes are more like rings engraved with a circle of years, which contains impreachable penetration.
At this moment, these eyes are also staring at Liu Feng coldly. The flashing look in the pupils seems to have unpredictable doubts about what the young man did in front of him.
"I haven't seen the name of General Huang for a long time. It's really lucky to see the demeanor of the old general now." Liu Fengyu immediately arched his hand and politely expressed the respect of a junior.
Huang Zhong is an elder. Although Liu Feng is an enemy at present, he shows respect, and naturally he can't respond with a cold face.
At present, Huang Zhong also bowed his hand: "Mr. Liu is flattered. Mr. Liu is young and worthy of being the son of Uncle Liu. I am also very lucky to meet him. Mr. Liu, I, Changsha County, have always had no hatred with Uncle Liu, but I don't know what you want to do now by leading the army to the Xiangcheng.
Liu Feng's single-rider meeting in front of the battle and the respect he just showed just now naturally gave Huang Zhong another understanding. At this time, Huang Zhong felt that it seemed that this battle in front of him did not have to be solved by force.
A little regret appeared on Liu's cover and sighed, "In fact, I have always respected the old general. I didn't mean to offend him, but my father was not satisfied with getting a Jiangxia County from Zide. He insisted on taking all the four southern counties. My father's order was hard to violate. I was just acting on orders. I hope the old general will forgive me."
Liu Feng's words put all the "crime" of the invasion of the southern four counties to Liu Bei, and the paragraph about Liu Qi is also laying the groundwork for the future.
When he said this, although Huang Zhong didn't believe it, his impression of Liu Bei was naturally discounted, and he couldn't help but have a little more good impression on Liu Feng in front of him.
"I can also understand Mr. Liu's difficulties, but as soon as the war begins, not only do you and I have to pay the price of death and injury, but also the innocent people in Changsha County will also be imprisoned. If Mr. Liu really has a heart of benevolence and righteousness, please persuade your father again, ask him to think of the world and order him to withdraw from the army."
"This..." Liu Feng's eyebrows were twisted into a rope, and a look of embarrassment and hesitation appeared on his cheeks.
The change of Liu Feng's expression seemed to make Huang Zhong see a glimmer of peace. He hurriedly said, "I know this makes Mr. Liu very embarrassed, but the beauty of Uncle Liu's benevolence and righteousness is well known all over the world. I, the officials and people of Changsha, have also admired him for a long time. Even if Mr. Liu is a famous idea of your father, he should persuade him to withdraw."
Huang Zhong's sincere words made Liu Feng realize that the veteran's political ability was indeed mediocre. He obviously did not understand Liu Bei's person at all, not only Liu Bei, but also other princes. In this case, how could he let go of the fat meat on his mouth.
However, Huang Zhong's political naivety is right in Liu Feng's arms.
So Liu Feng sighed and said helplessly, "In fact, the current situation of the younger generation is also difficult to say, but since the old general has this invitation, the younger generation naturally has to give face. Well, the younger generation will stop the army for the time being, and then write another letter to his father. It's just that whether it works or not, the younger generation can't guarantee it. Maybe in the end, the younger generation will still meet the old general.
Huang Zhong originally thought that Liu Feng was just an arrogant boy, but the result of the previous meeting made him look at Liu Feng with new eyes. At this time, when he heard his words, he was even more respectful, so he smiled happily and said cheerfully, "No matter what the result is, Mr. Liu's chivalrous and benevolence, I, Huang Zhong, remember it in my heart. Even if I want to fight with Mr. Liu in the end, it will be the happiest battle in my life.
Liu Feng also laughed, and this tense single riding party originally made the soldiers on both sides hold a heart, but now it has inexplicably turned into a happy t-telling, which naturally surprised thousands of soldiers.
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, the two of them chatted a few more words before they said goodbye to each other.
When Liu Feng returned to the battle, Ma Yan had already greeted him with a smiling face and said in a mysterious tone, "Sir, it seems that the harvest of this single riding party is far more than expected."
Liu Feng's lips slanted: "The first step has been successful. Let's retreat 15 miles away for the time being. It's time to prepare for the second step plan."
