Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 284 The Banquet of King Dongping
"It doesn't count, Wang Ran is not Li Dian's part. Uh, by the way, I found out that Brother Geng, you didn't bring any relatives with you when you took office this time?" Feng Yao said.

"Hehe, that's how it is. When I was under the lord's hand, I didn't accompany him personally. Anyway, I was looking for it. Why don't I wait until I come here to look for it! If Mr. Feng has good candidates, you might as well recommend a few!" Geng Liang said .

Hearing this, Feng Yao couldn't help but think of the promise he had made to Wang Ran just now. He looked at Geng Liang and said, "Brother Geng, what do you think of Wang Ran?"

"Wang Ran is loyal and knows how to be filial to his mother, which is very good!" Geng Liang praised.

"Then it's decided like this. It just so happens that Wang Ran also needs to stay here to take care of his mother, why not let him follow Brother Geng!" Feng Yao said.

"Then I will be disrespectful, thank you, Mr. Feng!" Geng Liang said.

Feng Yao also asked about the recent situation of some old friends, such as Cao Xing, Li Jin, etc., as well as the small Yan Huan who impressed Feng Yao more deeply. Characters in!

Yan Huan is only seven feet tall and the smallest in stature, but he is also the most violent one, and he once helped Feng Yao.

"You mean Yan Huan? He has now become one of the deputy commanders under Lord Hou, and he is very trusted by Lord Hou," Geng Liang said.

Feng Yao was very happy to know that they were doing well, and after talking with Geng Liang for more than an hour, Feng Yao personally took the seal and handed it over to Geng Liang, which means that the burden of Dongping Kingdom was officially handed over to Geng Liang. .

For the next battle, Feng Yao is full of confidence, mainly because of two important news.

Firstly, since Zhang Liao left Dongping a few days ago, as he had expected, he rushed to the city of Fan County before dawn. In less than half an hour, the army broke through Fan County and captured Le Yun, the magistrate of Fan County alive. However, Zhang Liao did not take Le Yun to the Lu Bu camp, but directly beheaded him in the market, and said: "Because of Le Yun alone, hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides were killed. Not enough to be outraged!"

Soon after, Zhang Liao conquered Qinting, Yuncheng, Linqiu and other cities around Zhencheng, and Juancheng was completely isolated. Together with Lu Bu's army, Yujin surrounded Juancheng. If Cao Cao's reinforcements did not come to rescue him , It only takes a month at most to conquer Juancheng!
Second, Zang Ba was at a disadvantage in the battle with Cao Cao. The Qi State in Qingzhou was once occupied by Cao Cao, but Zang Ba invited Chang Xi, a bandit from Mount Tai, to lead the army to attack Cao Cao's back, and regained the Qi State. Linqu County and Guang County temporarily withstood Cao Cao's attack.

In the afternoon, Feng Yao was discussing with Xu Shu and others about leading the army to go out tomorrow, when he suddenly received a banquet from King Dongping. At the same time, Geng Liang, who had just taken over as Prime Minister of Dongping Kingdom, was also invited to the banquet.

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think of King Dongping's banquet this time?" Feng Yao asked.

Xu Shu stroked the beard on his chin, glanced at Feng Yao's expression, bowed his head and pondered.

How could Xu Shu understand the reason for King Dongping's flattery to Feng Yao? The reason for this banquet was on the surface to welcome Geng Liang to take over the position of Prime Minister, but in fact it was Dongping King Liu Kai who wanted to take advantage of this last time. Opportunity to bother Feng Yao, let's try again to see if we can become in-laws with Feng Yao!

The last time Dongping King Liu Kai had a private conversation with Feng Yao, although Feng Yao did not make it public, he secretly discussed it with Xu Shu and analyzed the pros and cons in detail.

At that time, Xu Shu said this: "If Liu Kai doesn't care about the official name, it seems acceptable. After all, in the Kanto area, Feng Yao's control area has a lot of princes surnamed Liu. This trivial matter has caused dissatisfaction among all the kings surnamed Liu!"

Originally thought that this matter had already come to an end, but who knew that on this last day, King Dongping actually came up with the idea of ​​a public banquet. Maybe Liu Kai will bring up the old story again!

Xu Shu was very much in favor of Feng Yao's marriage with other people, even including Feng Yao's concubine, Xu Shu strongly supported it!But the inflated status of King Dongping doesn't benefit Feng Yao at all, it only restrains him!
This is a dilemma, and no matter how you do it, it seems that it is not perfect!
"Military division?" Seeing Xu Shu pondering, Feng Yao called out again.

"My lord, my subordinates think that my lord should go to the banquet, but I must bring more entourage and counselors. It's better to act according to the circumstances! This will not only save face, but also gather the wisdom of everyone to make the best choice!" Xu Shu raised his head, said loudly.

"Well..., it seems that this is the best way, then please ask the military adviser to prepare. After a while, everyone will be here, so go with me!" Feng Yao thought for a while, then nodded.

"Yes, my lord!" Xu Shu accepted the order happily.

After Feng Yao made his decision, he didn't think about other things anymore, but started to concentrate on thinking about who would be more suitable to bring there!
The first thing that comes to mind is personal safety. Now there are three teams in total, led by Xu Ding, Fan Neng, and Han Shuang.

Han Shuang came in personally and is a local. He should be familiar with Liu Kai, so it's best to stay in the mansion.

Fan Neng is now mainly responsible for the safety of the night. He must drink alcohol when he goes there. After he comes back drunk, it will not be conducive to vigil, so forget it, safety first.

Then only Xu Ding is the most suitable, even if he is drunk, it will be fine, and he will sleep well after returning, and it will not affect tomorrow's expedition.

However, these more than 100 entourages are still not enough, Feng Yao decided to bring either Xu Chu or Dai Ling, but Xu Chu loves to drink, and he might get drunk if he goes there. However, it is really difficult for Xu Chu to carry back his weight of several hundred catties!

Considering the need for someone who is more familiar with King Dongping, Feng Yao decided to bring Li Dian and Wang Cheng with him, so that the two generals who had just joined the army could feel that they were being reused.

Counselor, taking Xu Shu alone is a bit rare, and it is not dignified enough, so Jian Yong must also take along!

……

Dongping Prince's Mansion

As soon as Feng Yao and his party arrived, King Dongping led several local gentlemen to welcome them out!
"Feng Shijun can come here, it really makes me shine, please come in!" Dongping Wang said happily.

Several gentry who followed King Dongping also stepped forward to salute Feng Yao one by one, their tone and demeanor were very humble, their faces were full of smiles, and they introduced their names and family.

Feng Yao smiled and nodded one by one. If there was no time to talk to Feng Yao, he turned his gaze to Feng Yao's back. It was obvious that Xu Shu and Jian Yong standing behind him were Feng Yao's confidantes, so there was another Several people began to develop relationships with Xu Shu and Jian Yong.

The two sides were talking politely, when another carriage came over, it was Geng Liang, but because it was only half a day, Geng Liang was not in time to organize his own entourage, only two guards who seemed relatively stable followed.

Seeing Feng Yao here, Geng Liang immediately jumped out of the carriage, as if he didn't see King Dongping, but went directly to Feng Yao and greeted him happily.
