  "You want to capture me? Heh heh——" Wei Yan's cold and stern eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, followed by a cold laugh.

  Liu Feng knew what he was sneering at, guessing that in his heart, he was thinking that the young man in front of him had a bold temper, but to let Wei Yan surrender under the command of this 16 or 17-year-old kid was utterly absurd.

  Wei Yan's disdain, Liu Feng paid with a smile, unhurriedly said: "General Wen Chang must be thinking that relying on just one young whippersnapper, he can actually get me to take action, how ridiculous."

  Liu Feng saw through Wei Yan's mind at a glance, and he couldn't help but frown slightly, saying coldly: "Whether it is or not, if Young Master Liu wants me to surrender, he naturally needs to give me a reasonable reason."

  In the great tent, the air seemed to be slowly solidifying.

  "Judging a person's worth by their age is already a mistake. General Wen has extraordinary and unparalleled military talent, and I am confident that I can achieve great things as a heroic leader - aren't these two reasons enough?"

  After Liu Feng finished speaking, Wei Yan fell silent for a moment before suddenly bursting into loud laughter. The laughter was filled with undisguised mockery.

  Liu Feng gazed at that proud and disdainful face, his mouth slightly raised, flashing a hint of mysterious smile, but then pretended to be angry: "I spoke with sincerity, but I don't know why General Wei is laughing at me like this."

  Wei Yan slowly gathered his smile, gazing coldly at Liu Feng: "If one were as confident as Young Master Liu, wouldn't the number of great masters in the world be as numerous as cow hair? My father, Liu Xuande, was a great master, Cao Cao was a great master, and Sun Quan could barely be considered a great master. That's because they had the means and demeanor of a great master, not just blowing it out with their mouths. I, Wei Yan, have always been straightforward and frank. If these words have offended Young Master Liu, please forgive me."

  It seems that Wei Yan is not someone who can be easily convinced with just a few words, which is no surprise. If he were so easily deceived, Liu Feng would have looked down on him instead.

  Moreover, what Wei Yan said is not entirely unreasonable. At present, how much ability he has, perhaps Ma Chao knows, and Pang Tong may also know, but it is limited to these two people. What Liu Feng needs to do now is not only to prove his potential as a heroic master to Wei Yan, but also to prove it to the heroes of the world.

  "Haha, I expected as much, fortunately I was prepared."

  At this moment, Liu Feng was ridiculed by Wei Yan, but he didn't show a hint of resentment. On the contrary, his expression became even more calm and composed.

  With a faint smile, Liu Feng said: "General Wen Chang's words are reasonable. Since that's the case, it seems I need to prove myself to you, General. I, Liu Feng, am not one who boasts idly. How about this, General Wei? Dare you make a bet with me?"

  "What's the bet?" Wei Yan's eyes flashed with a few points of doubt.

  Liu Feng raised his hand and pointed to the south: "Thirty miles south is Linxiang, the seat of Changsha Prefecture. I'll make a bet with General Wei that within ten days, I can take Linxiang without bloodshed, and win over the hearts of all its soldiers and civilians, proving that I, Liu Feng, am not one to boast idly. If I succeed, General Wei must surrender to me as agreed."

  So that's how it is.

  Wei Yan sneered again: "There are nearly 2,000 soldiers in Linxiang, and the governor Han Xuan is an ignorant fool, but that old general Huang Hansheng is not a trivial matter. Lord Liu, do you really have confidence in this bet?"

  "Whether I have confidence or not is my business, whether General Wei dares to make this bet or not is General Wei's business. So, General Wei, are you daring or not?" Liu Feng put away his gentle expression and suddenly became a bit overbearing in tone.

  Liu Feng was clearly using the tactic of provoking him, and with Wei Yan's insight, how could he not see through it? But for someone with strong self-confidence, tactics like this were nothing but a mere cloud. What truly swayed his decisions was the pride in his heart.

  Wei Yan arrived at Changsha for some time, he was very aware of Huang Zhong's ability and also understood the solidity of Linxiang City. Even if it were himself, under the circumstances of insufficient troops, he would have thought it difficult to break through in a short period of time. Let alone Liu Feng, who is just an inexperienced calf, and only brought 800 soldiers with him.

  Wei Yan never believed that he himself couldn't do something, and this young whippersnapper in front of him could, even if he was the son of the renowned Liu Xuan De.

  Under the drive of this self-confidence, Mingming saw through Liu Feng's provocative intention, but he still didn't care, and slapped his hand: "Good, I want to see how capable Liu Gongzi is. This bet is on."

  When Wei Yan fell into his own "trap", Liu Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief, and then said magnanimously: "Then we'll just take one word from a gentleman, and one whip from a fast horse. General Wei, ten days later, I'll set up a wine reception in Linxiang City, waiting for you to come as promised, and we'll drink a thousand cups together."

  The young man in front of him did not seem to be the arrogant type, but his words and actions were filled with a strong sense of self-confidence, as if everything was already under his control. This couldn't help but make Wei Yan's heart feel a chill.

  Despite this, it did not change his judgment. At the moment, he said: "I Wei Yan have always been true to my word, and I will take a good look at how Liu Gongzi can take down Linxiang City within ten days."

  "Alright, General Wei can just watch the good show quietly, farewell."

  Liu Feng stood up and bid farewell, one man and one horse left, when he returned to his own large camp, it was already sunset.

  When they returned to the big camp, the camp was not as usual. There were no cooking pots buried in the ground, and there was no smoke rising from the stoves, nor any delicious smell of meat wafting through the air. Instead, all 800 soldiers were fully armed, while Ma Chao wore his armor and held a sharp weapon, standing anxiously at the camp gate.

  "Is the young master back?" The sharp-eyed Chen, who was standing beside him, had seen Liu Feng's white horse and silver robe from a distance, like a snow shadow flying towards them.

  Everyone including Ma Sen let out a sigh of relief.

  Liu Feng returned to the camp on horseback and saw this formation, he was surprised: "What are you doing? General Ma, have you come up with a new way of training troops?"

  Ma Su smiled calmly: "I was worried that the young master would have an accident, so I gathered all the troops and horses. If something unexpected happens, I can rush to rescue him immediately."

  With this group of confidants thinking about their own safety, Liu Feng's heart also gained a few more points of comfort.

  He then entered the military account with Ma Chao, and smiled confidently: "I said it early, I Liu Feng never did anything without a grasp. Look, didn't I come back safely?"

  Ma Chao's face showed a look of relief, and he added a few words of admiration, then asked: "As for the matter of accepting Wei Yan's surrender, can the young master succeed?"

  "I have made a bet with Wei Yan, as long as I capture Linxiang within ten days, he will come to surrender wholeheartedly." Liu Feng sat down, sipping tea while recounting the detailed process.

  Ma Su listened and his eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Only ten days of work, won't it be too hasty?"

  Liu Feng wiped away the water marks from the corner of his mouth: "There's a clever plan, ten days is enough time. Right, has everything been going according to plan?"

  Ma Su said: "I have already sent a fine actor disguised as a civilian. At this moment, if there is no accident, he has already mixed into Linxiang City."

  Liu Feng nodded, his eyes gleaming like electricity as he gazed directly at the two characters "Linxiang" on the map. He sneered coldly: "Since that's the case, we'll set out early tomorrow morning and press straight to the foot of Linxiang City. Tonight, send someone to deliver a challenge letter, saying I, Liu Feng, specifically want to duel with Huang Han Sheng."
