"There has been no news yet, but the deadline given to General Meng Qi when the lord is leaving is one month, and now it has only passed the twentieth day, and General Meng Qi has not yet returned, so the lord does not need to worry."

Seeing Liu Feng's rare eagerness, Wei Yan hurriedly replied. Ma Chao did lead a team of light horsemen to leave Chengdu at night before the 20th, but where he went, what happened, and even Ma Chao's departure from Chengdu, all the ministers in Yizhou did not know, except for Liu Feng, the lord of Yizhou, there were only Wei Yan, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu.

"It's really because General Meng Qi has only been to Jingzhou once, and Jiangdong has never set foot in Jiangdong, so it's better not to have anything wrong with this." Obviously, Liu Feng still attaches great importance to this matter.

Seeing this, Wei Yan knew that this was because Liu Feng was quite entangled in the issue of sending Zhao Yun or Ma Chao at the beginning, and finally decided to send Ma Chao under the persuasion of Wei Yan and Xu Shu, so he was not very relieved. He hurriedly persuaded again: "Although General Meng Qi is not familiar with Jingzhou and Jiangdong, but several elites of my Feiyuwei who followed him are very familiar with Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and General Meng Qi is a strange face in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, even if it is the generals and ministers under the command of Jiangdong Sun Quan, there are very few people who can know the face of General Meng Qi, so there is no more secure candidate than General Meng Qi in this matter, although the lord is relieved, if General Meng Qi does not return in five days, Yan Dang personally led five hundred Feiyuwei to respond!" The Flying Feather Guards have always left secret marks along the way just in case, so it is not difficult to find them. ”

Liu Feng saw that Wei Yan had already said to this extent, and hurriedly smiled bitterly and waved his hand, he was indeed a little worried about Ma Chao's actions this time, but what he did was not what Wei Yan said was worried about the safety of Ma Chao and others, but whether the things he asked Ma Chao to complete could be completed.

As early as when Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan were outside Poyang County, Liu Feng boasted to Sun Shangxiang about Haikou, and when talking about Sun Quan's situation, he promised that if Sun Quan's army was defeated, he would bring his mother from Jiangdong to reunite here for Sun Shangxiang.

But this kind of thing, Liu Feng is not good at pretending to Zhou Yu, who has not yet called himself a vassal, and the affairs of Jiangdong and Jingzhou are changing rapidly, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan are not ordinary people, so when Liu Feng realized that his hope of taking advantage of this opportunity to seize the land of Jiangdong is becoming more and more slim, finally Lu Su urgently reported that Zhuge Liang intended to give up Jiangxia to drag down the Jingzhou naval army, Lu Su had decided to capture Jiangxia first, and decided to send a general directly from Chengdu to rescue Sun Shangxiang's mother, otherwise once Zhuge Liang occupied Jianye, Sun Shangxiang's mother is not worried about her life in the hands of Zhuge Liang, but she will definitely not be free for the rest of the years, let alone reunite with Sun Shangxiang who is far away in Yizhou.

At the suggestion of Pang Tong and Wei Yan, Liu Feng chose Ma Chao, who was almost unknown in Jiangdong, and led some elite cavalry and Fei Yuwei to Jiangdong from Jingzhou to Jiangdong disguised as rangers and merchants. Originally, the perfect candidate in Liu Feng's heart was Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun was quite famous in Jingzhou and even Jiangdong, once he was recognized by someone with a heart, not only could he not save Sun Shangxiang's mother, but it would be a question whether he could get out safely.

Therefore, the worry in Liu Feng's heart is that he is afraid that he will not be able to promise Sun Shangxiang, which will make him sad in vain, Ma Chao's ability, Liu Feng still recognizes it very much, even if he can't bring Sun Shangxiang's old mother out of Jiangdong, there is still no problem with retreating.

At this time, Liu Feng had a forward-looking look, all of which fell on the ears of Sun Shangxiang, who was quietly listening to the conversation between Liu Feng and Wei Yan behind the curtain, although Liu Feng did not inform Sun Shangxiang of all the causes and consequences of this matter, but the intelligent Sun Shangxiang had already felt the clues of this matter from their many discussions, and finally confirmed the matter when Liu Feng sent Ma Chao and his elite away in the mansion late at night.

Although she learned about this in her heart, and she was very much looking forward to the outcome of this matter, Sun Shangxiang did not tell Liu Feng that she had learned the news of this matter, she knew that the reason why Liu Feng temporarily hid it from her was that she was afraid that this matter would not be done, and saying it in advance would make Sun Shangxiang even more disappointed, on the other hand, once this matter is done, then for Sun Shangxiang, it can be regarded as a big surprise, so waiting for the result of this matter and then letting Sun Shangxiang know is a good and harmless thing.

Seeing that Liu Feng was so concerned about this matter, Sun Shangxiang was also touched, she silently retreated into the inner room, still pretending not to know about it, but her pretty face was already covered with tears.

After sending Wei Yan away, Liu Feng looked at the current three-point world trend, and his heart was quite excited, although he immediately set up his own door since Liu Bei's death, but the original idea was only to be able to be in a corner of the troubled world, so as not to be wiped out by the enemy in an instant, and in this short few years, the achievements he has achieved today are really something Liu Feng did not expect before.

But at the same time, Liu Feng also deeply knew that controlling more and more soldiers and resources, and the territory also meant greater responsibility and risk for himself, and he must win the battle with Cao Zhi and Zhuge Liang in the next few years or even more than ten years.

Only in that way can he and his descendants gradually sit firmly in the Central Plains, otherwise in the face of the rolling wheel of history and the historical plot that will be combined for a long time, the slight advantages of today will eventually come to naught in the near future after his death, which is undoubtedly what Liu Feng does not want to see, so he has already made up his mind to win the victory over Cao Zhi and Zhuge Liang when he is in the prime of life. Do your best to let your blood relatives enjoy the fruits of victory.

In the days when Zhuge Liang was plotting Jiangdong, Liu Feng naturally did not stay idle in Yizhou in vain, and many forces under his command have gradually become clear under his own control. Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Jingzhou's naval army gradually formed the five main forces under Liu Feng, and these five major forces are also different in their respective fields.

In Zhao Yun's hands, it is the most powerful mobile foot soldiers, the largest number, Ma Chao naturally commands the cavalry, Huang Zhong controls the defense of various states and counties, Wei Yan leads Liu Feng's personal soldiers led by Fei Yuwei, plus the fierce naval army in Jingzhou, each combat unit that is good at different situations has been formed.
