After the Yellow Turban rebels scattered, Kong Rong took Li Feng into the city and returned to the prefect's office together. The two of them chatted as they walked.
When they arrived at the manor, they held a banquet to celebrate. Kong Rong said,"Tianxing is truly a benevolent person. The North Sea was able to avoid disaster this time all thanks to Tianxing's help. I'll toast you on behalf of the entire city.”
Li Feng politely raised his cup and said,"Governor Kong's words are very important. You and I are close neighbors." The prefect is also my elder. I can ignore him.”After saying that, the two of them each drank a cup.
Kong Rong turned around and invited a person to meet him. He was very handsome and wore a red brocade robe. One look and one could tell that he was a wealthy person.
"This is Mi Zhu Mi Zi Zhong, a subordinate of Tao Gongzu. He's here to ask for help." Prefect Li has many soldiers and generals. You can ask him for help.”
Li Feng put down his cup and said to Mi Zhu,""I wonder what happened to Tao Xu Zhou?”
Mi Zhu bowed and said," A few days ago, Cao Cao brought his father home and passed by Xuzhou. My lord wants to befriend Cao Cao, so he sent Zhang Kai to escort him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Kai's thieving nature returned and he killed Cao Fu. Cao Cao vented his anger on his lord and attacked. He killed the people along the way, burning, killing and looting. Now that Xuzhou is besieged, the Lord has ordered me to come here to ask Kong Beihai for help. Now I am lucky to meet Governor Li. Governor Li's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is famous all over the world. Can you send troops to rescue him?”
"Tao Xuzhou is a benevolent gentleman," Li Feng said."He didn't expect to be wronged like this." Xuzhou is also a close neighbor of our country. When Xuzhou was separated in the past, we agreed to meet each other. Now that Tao Xuzhou is in trouble, how can I not save him? I'll send troops to rescue him tomorrow.”
Mi Zhu bowed and thanked him."I've long heard of your reputation as a wise man, Governor Li. You're able to help people in difficult situations. Now that I've seen him, his name really doesn't need to be passed down."
When the banquet ended, Taishi Ci wanted to return. Li Feng held his hand and said,"I like Ziyi very much. I heard that you have a mother here. I want to find out, Bo Fu and I will go to see him.”
Sun Ce agreed. So the three of them went to Taishi Ci's house together. Seeing that her son had returned safely, the loving mother asked happily,"I'm glad that you can resolve the siege of the North Sea.”He raised his head and saw two people behind Taishi Ci. He asked,"Who are these two?"
Taishi Ci supported his mother and introduced Sun Ce,""Mother, this is my new sworn brother, Sun Bofu of River East.”
Sun Ce went forward and bowed." Mother, your son, Sun Ce, has come to pay his respects to you."”
The loving mother hurriedly helped Sun Ce up and looked at him carefully."You're so heroic. I'm so lucky to have a son like you.”After saying that, she smiled happily.
Taishi Ci introduced Li Feng,"This is Governor Li of Guangling."”
When the loving mother heard this, she was shocked and quickly went forward to pay her respects.
Li Feng quickly supported his mother and stopped her from kneeling. He said,"Old man, why do you have to be like this? You are my elder. How can I feel at ease after receiving such a big bow from you?”
The loving mother looked at Li Feng excitedly and said,""I've long heard that Guangling has a Governor Li who kneels before the people. He's generous, benevolent, and loves the people. Today, I can see Governor Li. Even if I die, I have no regrets.”
Li Feng smiled and said,"Old man, you're flattering me."”
Li Feng turned his head and asked Taishi Ci,"What plans does Ziyi have in the future?"”
"Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, is from the same county as I am," Taishi Ci replied."He has sent a letter to me, and I dare not refuse.”
Li Feng shook his head." Liu Yao is an incompetent person. Ziyi will certainly not be of any use to him. This is like casting pearls before swine." I know that you are a tiger general in the world. Now the world is in chaos and the country is in danger. Ziyi can hope that even if I pacify the world together, save the common people, make contributions, report to the court, stabilize the people, pass on the history book to leave a name. What do you think, Ziyi?"
Taishi Ci was really hesitant when he heard this. His loving mother shouted,"My son is muddle-headed. What else is there to consider? Li prefect's words are very right, a real man in life should put the world's common people first. Prefect Li is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. The whole world knows about it. If you can follow Prefect Li, I will be at ease.”
Taishi Ci heard his mother's words and no longer hesitated. He bowed and said, Taishi Ci greets my lord."
Li Feng was overjoyed and helped Taishi Ci up. "Congratulations, Uncle," Sun Ce said,"You've got another tiger general."”
That night, Li Feng ordered people to settle down his loving mother, and Taishi Ci stayed in the army as a general.
Li Feng ordered his men to bring Guan Hai and asked,""Are you willing to surrender?"
Guan Hai already knew that it was Li Feng, so he bowed and said,""Although I'm a Yellow Turban, I've heard of Governor Li's name. I'm willing to surrender."
Li Feng was overjoyed and personally untied the rope to help Guan Hai up.
Guan Hai said," The Yellow Turban soldiers around this area are under my control. If my lord is at ease, let Guan Hai go back and summon them to surrender."”
"Alright, you can go." Li Feng smiled.”
"I'm afraid he won't come back," Sun Ce advised.”
Li Feng looked at Guan Hai's back and said,""I treat people with benevolence and righteousness, and people will not let me down.”
The next morning, Guan Hai led ten thousand Yellow Turban soldiers to surrender. Li Feng heard this and went three miles to meet him. Li Feng patted Guan Hai's back and said,"General Guan has not let me down."”
At the end of the battle, Li Feng still took Taishi Ci and Sun Ce as the vanguard and led the central army. Guan Hai led his troops to Xuzhou as the rear, followed by Kong Rong and Mi Zhu.
When they arrived at Xu Prefecture, Li Feng ordered his men to set up camp on the mountain. Soon after, Kong Rong also arrived. Li Feng entered the camp and discussed with Kong Rong,"Now that the reinforcements have arrived, I will order Taishi Ci and Sun Ce to lead an army to escort Mister Mi into the city and inform Tao Xu. In the past, Cao Mengde and I killed bandits together. I'll write a letter to persuade him first. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late for us to start the war.”
"That's right," Kong Rong said.
Thus, Taishi Ci and Sun Ce led Mi Zhu to the east gate. Just as they arrived at Cao Cao's stronghold, a drum sounded and the cavalry and infantry rushed out like a tide. The leading general was Yu Jin, he reined in his horse and shouted,""What a madman! Where do you want to go?" Taishi Ci did not answer. He raised his spear and attacked Yu Jin. After a few rounds of fighting, Sun Ce was afraid that the enemy would come to his aid, so he commanded his troops to advance and attack Yu Jin. Yu Jin could not stop the two men and was defeated. When the city saw Mi Zhu, it opened the city gate and let him in.
When Cao Cao heard that reinforcements were coming from Guangling, he was discussing countermeasures. Someone outside reported that there was a letter from Guangling. Cao Cao opened the letter and saw that it was from Li Feng."It has been a year since I parted from you in Xingyang, and I often recall General Cao's grace. His father was killed because of Zhang Kai's inhumanity, not because of Tao Xuzhou's crime. Now the general has gone out of Yanzhou lightly, and his backyard is empty. If one person leads his army to Yanzhou, General Cao's foundation will be lost and he will have no place to go.”
After reading the letter, Cao Cao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Suddenly, a meteor came out and reported that Lu Bu had attacked Yanzhou and occupied Puyang. He only had Juancheng, Dong 'e and Fan County. Xun Yu and Cheng Yu planned to defend them to the death, but the rest were defeated. Cao Ren fought many times, but could not win. I hereby call for emergency. Cao Cao was surprised to hear this. Quick, retreat to save Yanzhou.”So Cao Cao's army pulled out the camp and retreated.
