"Don't look at me like that, I'm here to help you!" Yue Teng said lightly.

"General Yue, I, Han Yu, respect you. I have always regarded you as my target. You can say that you are my idol, but you can't treat me as a fool. You help us deal with your son? Why don't I believe it..." Han Yu said.

"Although we are prisoners during this period, we know very well how Phoenix City treats us. If they treat prisoners and enemy troops in the same way, we have also seen how they treat the civilians! To be honest, during this time I was in Phoenix City, do you know how much I wanted to hear the people scold you? But I was disappointed. Every day all I hear is praise and support for you. At the same time, I am also very pleased because the people of Phoenix City are becoming more and more energetic, and are more and more full of confidence and hope for their future life! I hope that one day all the people of the Great Xia Dynasty will be able to be full of confidence and hope for the future. This was my original intention when I first became a military general, and that is peace in the world and prosperity for the people!" Yue Teng said from the bottom of his heart.

Han Yu was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lu Feng, who was standing by, narrowed his eyes and observed Yue Teng carefully, but he didn't seem to find anything wrong...

"General Yue, I'm sorry that I can't distribute weapons to you. I need to be responsible for the soldiers and civilians in Phoenix City..." Lu Feng said.

“Of course I understand, but I don’t need weapons. I just need to say a few words to the Yue Army under Phoenix City…” Yue Teng said.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Feng agreed to Yue Teng's request.

"Okay, General Yue, please do as you wish!" Lu Feng said.

Yue Teng came to the city wall and shouted to the Yue Family Army below, "I am Yue Teng, the commander of the Yue Family Army!"

When Yue's army heard the commander's voice, they immediately became excited.

"All soldiers, listen up and withdraw immediately!" Yue Teng shouted loudly.

The soldiers of Yue's army looked at each other, at a loss.

At this time, a general stood up and asked, "Commander-in-chief, why is this happening? We haven't even attacked the city yet!"

Yue Yun looked at Yue Teng on the top of the city wall and was very excited.

"Dad, are you okay? Don't worry, I will definitely rescue you!" Yue Yun shouted.

Yue Teng glanced at the Yue Family Army below and explained, "The people of Phoenix City are innocent and should not be implicated in the war. Our purpose is to serve the country and the people, not to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Dad! The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed..." Yue Yun said hurriedly.

"If you still consider me your father, then withdraw your troops!" Yue Teng shouted in a deep voice.

Yue Yun was in a dilemma, and after a long while he finally gave the order, "Withdraw!"

The generals hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to obey the order.

With the withdrawal of Yue's army, the crisis in Phoenix City was resolved.

Han Yu and Lu Feng admired Yue Teng's behavior very much. They decided to trust Yue Teng and discuss with him strategies to fight the enemy.

"Lu Feng, if you believe me, let me go out of the city and I will talk to them!" Yue Teng said.

"Of course I believe in General Yue, so I'll have to trouble you, General Yue!" Lu Feng said.

Without delay, Yue Teng mounted his horse and left Phoenix City overnight, heading towards the camp of Yue's army.

Early the next morning, Yue Teng returned to Phoenix City, but he looked unhappy and was in a heavy mood.

"General Yue, has the negotiation failed?" Han Yu asked tentatively.

General Yue shook his head and said, "No, it was the dog emperor who put our Yue family under house arrest. If Yue Yun leads the Yue Family Army to surrender to Phoenix City, then I'm afraid that none of my Yue family members will be able to escape..."

"Oh my god, this dog emperor is so cruel. While you are fighting outside, he controls your families!" Han Yu said indignantly.

Lu Feng did not feel surprised. This was a basic operation. What's more, Yue Teng was captured by him. Who knew whether Yue Yun would surrender?

"General Yue, don't worry too much. Yue Yun has not been defeated yet, which means that the Yue family is still safe..." Lu Feng comforted.

"I hope so, otherwise I will make that dog emperor pay with his life!" Yue Teng said gritting his teeth.

This time, he was completely disappointed with the Great Xia Dynasty. He had fought all his life and had made great achievements, but now he was treated like this just because he failed once...

Originally, he still held a glimmer of hope for the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, but now he has completely given up...

"General Yue, you don't have to worry too much. We can work with you to find a way to rescue the Yue family members..." Lu Feng said.

Yue Teng's eyes lit up, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Lu Feng, if you can rescue our Yue family members, I, Yue Teng, will obey you from now on and help you conquer this empire. What do you think?" Yue Teng said.

"I will definitely do my best." Lu Feng looked at Yue Teng with a firm gaze, "But the most urgent thing right now is to find out the specific situation of the Yue family."

"I do have an idea." Han Yu suddenly said, "I have some connections in Kyoto. I can ask them about it."

Yue Teng heard this and a glimmer of hope appeared on his face. "That's great. I'll trouble Brother Han then."

A few days later, Han Yu brought back the news.

It was just as Yue Yun said. The Yue family members were placed under house arrest, and a large number of imperial guards were stationed around the Yue family. It could be said that not even a mosquito could fly out, let alone save people...

“This is troublesome. The Imperial Guards are not weak. If we want to rescue the people without them noticing, it would be harder than climbing to the sky…” Yue Teng said solemnly.

"Isn't it true that as long as Yue Yun returns triumphantly, he can be released from house arrest? Then let Yue Yun return triumphantly!" Lu Feng said.

“This… I’m afraid we can’t hide it from the imperial court. If it’s discovered, the consequences will be even more serious…” Yue Teng said.

"If it's fake, they definitely can't hide it, but what if it's real? Wouldn't that be fine?" Lu Feng said.

"Really? My lord, are you going to sacrifice Phoenix City?" Han Yu asked in surprise.

Lu Feng shook his head and said, "Of course not, but it's just a show, so it's fine as long as it looks real..."

"So real as to make the fake one real? How can it be so real as to make the fake one real?" Yue Teng asked puzzledly.

"It's very simple. Just contact Yue Yun and cooperate with him to put on a show for them..." Lu Feng said.

Lu Feng leaned close to Yue Teng's ear and whispered, "I have a plan that can help your Yue family regain their freedom, but it will take some time and patience."

Yue Teng was shocked after hearing this. He stared at Lu Feng with wide eyes, his heart full of confusion and expectation.
