Chapter 70

Qin Feng demonstrated sufficient ability and loyalty, and had already formed a marital alliance with the Yellow Turban general Zhang Yan, thus earning the deep trust of Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

He volunteered to investigate and monitor the newly arrived Yellow Turban troops.

Zhang Bao, who commanded over a hundred thousand troops, had very few capable generals. He had long intended to entrust Qin Feng with more responsibilities to ease his heavy workload.

Thus, they reached an agreement, and Zhang Bao said with joy, "Since that's the case, from now on, He Mountain will be responsible for the supervision of new recruits."

Bu Ji, though feeling a bit defeated by the division of power, did not want to be overworked in such hot weather, so he said, "General He Mountain has unique skills, and both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have submitted to him. He is the most suitable person for this task."

Qin Feng smiled faintly and glanced at the few who were drenched in sweat, "A calm mind naturally brings coolness. I will take my leave."

"Go, go," Zhang Bao said, fanning Qin Feng with a banana leaf fan to send him off.

Zhang Liang sighed, "A calm mind naturally brings coolness? What a profound meaning! This person is truly talented. With his help, the Yellow Turbans will defeat the imperial army soon."

Zhang Bao also felt gratified and fanned vigorously, saying, "Heaven helps me achieve peace, helps me achieve peace."

Unfortunately, the banana leaf fan was fake.

A short while later, Qin Feng brought Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to the eastern gate of the camp.

Seeing the arrivals, Qin Feng felt a great relief and was also delighted. The team that arrived was indeed the reinforcements sent by Huangfu Song, all dressed as Yellow Turbans. The leader was a towering figure, none other than Dian Wei. Dian Wei had shaved his beard, making him look much more handsome and unrecognizable to the Yellow Turbans.

Dian Wei burst into a tirade, shouting, "What the hell is going on? I came all the way from Shouchun to help the Earth General and the Human General, and you bastards won't let me in?"

The guard, intimidated by Dian Wei's imposing presence, stammered, "B-B-Big Brother, this is our rule to prevent spies. Someone will come to guide you in a moment."

Hearing the word "spy," Dian Wei's heart stirred. He leaned in close to the guard, his face terrifyingly dark, and shouted, "Do I look like a spy? Is there a spy like me?"

When E Lai (Dian Wei) got angry, no one could stand up to him. The guard trembled all over, even letting out several farts, and exclaimed, "No, no."

Inside the camp, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao exchanged glances.

Cao Cao said cautiously, "Zi Jin, he doesn't seem to be one of ours. Don't make a mistake, or we'll be dead."

Qin Feng smiled, "This is my subordinate Dian Wei. I won't make a mistake."

The two breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

As Qin Feng appeared at the gate, Dian Wei stopped shouting. Thus, Qin Feng led Dian Wei and the two hundred men into the Yellow Turban camp.

In the eastern core area of the Yellow Turban camp, in Qin Feng's tent.

Qin Feng sat at the head of the tent, with Dian Wei standing behind him. With the presence of the Dragon Guard, Qin Feng felt much more at ease.

Yuan Shao, however, was uneasy, "Brother Zi Jin, the reinforcements have arrived today, but I wonder if the Yellow Turban leader Zhang Bao has agreed to your proposal?"

Cao Cao, eyeing Dian Wei's imposing figure with envy, thought to himself that Qin Zi Jin had exceptional talent in recruiting people. He had already taken Xu Chu, and now he had Dian Wei.

Qin Feng smiled, "I went to Zhang Bao's tent earlier, and he has already agreed to move the camp to a place with lush vegetation to avoid the heat and rest..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of drums and shouts came from outside, "The Human General and the Earth General have ordered all units to pack up their camps and move twenty miles south to a cool place to set up camp and avoid the heat..."

"The orders of the two leaders are so wise!"

"We were almost roasted here!"

"Great, let the imperial army bake in the sun while we go to the river to cool off!"

As the camp became noisy, the Yellow Turbans were overjoyed, shouting praises for the wisdom of their leaders, one after another.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were delighted and mocked, "These Yellow Turbans are about to enter their graves, yet they don't even realize it."

Thus, Qin Feng issued orders to have his Yellow Turban troops immediately dismantle their camps, gather their supplies, and prepare to move.

About an hour later, with the rumbling of footsteps, dust rose to the sky, and over a hundred thousand Yellow Turbans moved out. When the dust settled, only some broken wooden fences remained, barely indicating that a camp had been there.

Two days later, in the area with lush vegetation, which is the eastern part of Changshe near the Ying River, over a hundred thousand Yellow Turbans set up camp. Every morning and evening, they strengthened their defenses, but during the rest of the time, the heat was unbearable, and the Yellow Turbans would bare their chests and scatter under the trees to cool off and avoid the heat.

In the eastern core area of the Yellow Turban camp, in Qin Feng's tent.

"Brother Zi Jin, the Yellow Turbans have become lax recently. This is the perfect time for an inside-out attack," Cao Cao said, fanning himself with a large palm leaf fan and scratching his exposed chest, looking nothing like a cunning hero but more like a dark, sunburned farmer.

Qin Feng, not much better, fanned himself and said, "Dian Wei, immediately send two men back to inform General Huangfu Song. Tonight, the army will move under cover of darkness. When they see multiple fires in the Yellow Turban camp, they will launch a night attack."

"Understood!" Dian Wei strode away.

Qin Feng continued to make arrangements, "At midnight tonight, Brother Meng De will set fire in the northern part of the Yellow Turban camp, Brother Ben Chu in the southern part, I in the eastern part, and Dian Wei in the western part. When General Huangfu Song attacks, we will take advantage of the chaos to surround the central command tent and kill the leaders Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang."

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao showed hesitation, and Qin Feng smiled slightly, "If this succeeds, we will be the ones who receive the greatest credit. This achievement, saving the state from peril, can be compared to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. I believe the court's rewards will be... substantial."

"Definitely substantial!" Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's faces lit up with joy. They couldn't help but think, "Who would have thought that being captured by the Yellow Turbans would not only save our lives but also allow us to achieve great merit!"

However, they also knew that this was all thanks to Qin Feng, "This kid, he really has some tricks up his sleeve... tsk tsk."

Their backgrounds were deep, and the court's rewards would certainly be generous. Qin Feng was also happy to see them receive substantial rewards. After all, with a clean and upright commander like Huangfu Song, Qin Feng's primary credit would definitely be reported. The second and third credits would also receive substantial rewards, so how could the primary credit be less? That would be the court slapping its own face!

That afternoon, in the western part of Changshe, at the imperial army camp.

In the central command tent, Huangfu Song rose from his seat, delighted, "What a fine Qin Zi Jin, truly a Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of our time. If we can defeat the Yellow Turbans, I will certainly request his commendation!" Thus, Huangfu Song began to make arrangements.

When Liu Bei heard about commending Qin Feng, he was furious, "Qin Zi Jin is always good at stabbing from behind, yet he gets all the credit. I fight bravely on the front lines, but I never get any credit, which is truly outrageous!" He rolled his eyes, "If the Yellow Turban rebels knew Qin Feng's identity..."
