Chapter 272: Two Birds with One Stone
It turned out that among the strategies that the two of them had thought about before, there was one plan that Liu Feng had been thinking about for a long time, and that was to try to persuade Zhao Yun to surrender.
Zhao Yun is loyal to the liver and courage, Liu Feng naturally knows it, and now he and Zhuge Liang led the army to capture Shangyong, just at the gate of Yizhou, Liu Feng thought that if Zhuge Liang finally left Zhao Yun in Shangyong in order to be able to resist Liu Feng, then Liu Feng could try to persuade Zhao Yun to surrender.
And the reason why Liu Feng has this idea, in addition to the good relationship between himself and Zhao Yun before, is that he is determined that with Zhao Yun's temperament, he will never get along too well with Zhuge Liang, and Zhao Yun's loyalty before is Liu Bei, if it comes to the relationship, Zhuge Liang is just a military advisor of Liu Bei, and Liu Feng is Liu Bei's righteous son, although now Zhuge Liang is under the banner of Liu Chan, but Liu Feng knows that within 20 years, Liu Chan wants to take power in person, it is impossible.
Liu Chan can only be a puppet-like figure under the command of Zhuge Liang, and such an ending, Liu Feng believes that Zhao Yun can also see and want it, which will make Zhao Yun's heart extremely hesitant, hesitating whether he should always assist Zhuge Liang like this, and what Liu Feng wants to do at this time is to rely on his relationship with Zhao Yun and his sincerity, so that Zhao Yun will no longer hesitate.
At this time, Liu Feng and Xu Shu argued on this matter for half an hour, but still failed to reach an agreement, Liu Feng had no choice but to say to Xu Shu: "This time to Shangyong, I have made up my mind, Zilong is a person, I am very familiar with it in my heart, and before I go, I will also understand the situation in the city, and will not rush forward, before I put General Zilong from Jiangling back to Xiangyang City, this time General Zilong will definitely not be embarrassed by me, if there is a real thing, I will bring General Wei Yan and several Fei Yuwei, It is also enough to get out, and then it is not too late to discuss the mediocrity of sending troops. ”
As soon as Liu Feng said this, he not only showed his determined attitude, but also said all the preventive measures he would take, and the majesty of being a superior was revealed at this time, Xu Shu still wanted to say something, but looking at Liu Feng's firm gaze, he just opened his mouth and did not say it again, Liu Feng's temperament, Xu Shu naturally understood, his previous argument was just fulfilling his responsibility as a courtier, if Liu Feng was firm, it was naturally not something he could stop.
"I don't know when the lord is going to leave, this news has reached the place where I waited, I think it has been a few days since the war in Runan, I don't know if Zhuge Liang will return to Shangyong at this time......"
Xu Shu thought about this matter for a while, putting aside the danger of meeting Liu Feng and Zhao Yun, the hidden danger he could think of was that once Zhuge Liang returned to Shangyong, Liu Feng would be like a turtle in an urn when he arrived, and once Zhuge Liang found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"The letter has already said, Cao Pi did not lead the army back to Yecheng, but stationed troops in Nanyang, want to come this time by Zhuge Liang sneak attack and defeated, Cao Pi has a lot of resentment in his heart, and it is just when he and Cao Zhi are competing for the position of Cao Cao's succession to a critical period, Cao Pi most likely wants to cultivate some time to seek Runan again, after all, he can replenish his troops in Nanyang, and Zhuge Liang's manpower is limited, so Zhuge Liang will not leave Runan in a hurry, but will stay in Runan for some more time to deter Cao Pi in Nanyang, And this time is a good opportunity for me to do this, so I prepared for three days, and three days later, I took advantage of sneaking into Shangyong to meet with General Zilong! ”
Liu Feng has always been resolute in doing things, and the matter was settled in an instant, Xu Shu had no choice but to summon a few elite craftsmen immediately, so that he rushed to Shangyong overnight to inquire about the news, after all, Liu Feng wanted to go in disguise this time, although Zhao Yun would not capture Liu Feng, and Shangyong and Hanzhong were very close, but they were also careless.
In the next three days, the news about Shangyong came back in a steady stream, and after getting this lot of news, Xu Shu persuaded Liu Feng to take this opportunity to send troops to defeat Shangyong, and then to persuade Zhao Yun to surrender, but Liu Feng waved his hand and refused.
In Liu Feng's heart, Zhao Yun is by no means a person who will succumb to defeat, if he really sends troops to defeat Shangyong, most of them will make Zhao Yun and Liu Feng drift apart, and Zhao Yun led an army of 20,000 to defend Shangyong, the main purpose is to guard against Liu Feng, so if it is a strong attack, most of the soldiers will have to lose tens of thousands of soldiers to take Shangyong down, which is absolutely impossible for Liu Feng, who wants to recuperate for some days.
Finally, when the day of Liu Feng's plan to go to Shangyong came, the people under his command also lived up to expectations to find out the location of Zhao Yun's residence in Shangyong County.
When several people entered Shangyong, the sky did not darken, Liu Feng immediately sent five Feiyu guards to check all over the city, leaving only Wei Yan by his side just in case, the two went to the city to find a teahouse, pretending to chat, while observing all kinds of situations in Shangyong City, while waiting for the night to fall.
"When the night is dark, I will follow the lord to go, and then I can take care of each other, and if something goes wrong, I can also protect the lord and take care of it."
When Wei Yan saw that there was no one around, he leaned in and whispered next to Liu Feng's ear. This matter was Xu Shu's repeated instructions before leaving, and he must ask Wei Yan not to let Liu Feng act alone, although Wei Yan also knew Liu Feng's temperament very well, but for Liu Feng's safety, he still brought up this matter.
"When I meet General Zilong, I can only go alone, and you will wait outside the mansion on all sides, and if something is strange, you can inform me if you enter again!"
Liu Feng just waved his hand slightly, and after saying what he thought in his heart, he signaled Wei Yanmo to speak again, Wei Yan had to smile helplessly when he heard this, and then lowered his head to drink the tea on the table.
After the two of them sat for half an hour, the five people who were sent reported that there was nothing suspicious in Shangyong City, and found out that Zhao Yun was the commander of Shangyong's garrison at this time, and was inspecting military discipline in the camp, and it would take an hour before returning home.
Liu Feng saw that the situation here was no different from what he had expected before, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Zhao Yun was in the middle, this matter would be half the success.
That night, Zhao Yun had just returned to the mansion, and after taking off his armor, he sat on the desk and looked out the window, feeling a little emotional for a while.
Since separating from Liu Feng in Jiangling, it has finally come time for the two to face each other head-on.
