Chapter 137: Triumph
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Feng led the people of the original Nanjun to bid farewell to Huang Zhong and returned to Jiangling City, Huang Zhong passed through Wei Yan and Gan Ning, and had learned that Liu Feng was in Liu Bei's army and the contradiction between Zhuge Liang, but Huang Zhong still said that he was only loyal to Liu Feng, which made Liu Feng feel very relieved that Huang Zhong was guarding here.
Although Changsha is neither a densely populated place in Jingzhou, nor a strategic place, Liu Feng has already planned his future development in Jingzhou in his heart, and Changsha is the most important of them.
Just as Liu Feng returned to Jiangling at full speed, Lu Su and Ling Tong also returned to Zhou Yu's camp, and when Zhou Yu saw that the two of them had returned with their army so quickly, he knew in his heart that the result would not be ideal.
Sure enough, when Lu Su and the two saw Zhou Yu on the ground, they were all ashamed on their faces, and asked Zhou Yu for their guilt, Zhou Yu asked carefully, and the two replied that Liu Feng led the army to take the land of Wuling and Changsha counties with lightning speed, and killed Jin Xuan and Han Xuan, and when the two led the army to Changsha, Liu Feng had already incorporated the Changsha defenders and occupied Linxiang, and the two attacked with 3,000 men and horses for a while, and lost hundreds of men and horses, and then had to lead the army to retreat.
"Gong Jin, why don't I go and reason with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang again, and swear to take back a county from their hands!" Lu Su saw that Zhou Yu's face was uncertain, and his mind turned straight, so he said this, he knew Zhou Yu very well, and knew that Zhou Yu would not really send him to do this humiliating thing.
Sure enough, Zhou Yu shook his head again and again before he finished listening, and said: "Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei talked about this matter in a high-sounding manner last time and gave Zijing a lot of hints. ”
"If that's the case, I have to let that Liu Feng take advantage of it and take the land of the four counties of Jingzhou into his pocket?" Lu Su asked.
When Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su again, his face was full of helplessness, and he said in his heart that if it weren't for your disadvantage in the battle, let Liu Feng seize Changsha first, how could he end up in such a situation, but thinking that Lu Su was the person he relied on the most, this was just thinking about it in his heart, and he comforted Lu Su and Ling Tong at the moment, so he gave up.
Only because Zhang Liao led the ban, Li Dian and other generals fought with Zhou Yu in Hefei is inseparable, if Zhou Yu really wants to invest troops to fight with Liu Feng, it is also a heart, this matter is not for the time being, but it may outweigh the losses, in Zhou Yu's heart, Cao Cao first to the north is the right way, Jingzhou fell into the hands of Cao Cao, Jiangdong wants to go west to conquer it is almost impossible, and fell into the hands of Liu Bei, in Zhou Yu's mind is very different.
The news that Lu Su and Ling Tong led the remnants of the army back to the camp also reached Zhuge Liang's ears for the first time, although Zhuge Liang had complicated military affairs at this time, he was also keenly aware that Cao Cao's army was not as fierce as before after winning several small victories and regaining some face.
Therefore, Liu Feng's conquest of the four counties is also quite concerned, Lu Su and Ling Tong led the army back to the camp, Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Feng really captured the four counties with 2,000 men and horses, and secretly sighed, this matter was completely unexpected by him, when he learned about it from Lu Su's mouth, Liu Feng had already taken two counties, and Cao Cao was menacing, Zhuge Liang was unable to send people forward, a few days later, it was too late to make a move.
On the night when Zhuge Liang learned that Lu Su and Ling Tong led the army back to the camp, Liu Bei urgently summoned Zhuge Liang into the tent to meet him.
"Before that Lu Su came to theorize, said that Ziwei led the army to raid the land of Lingling and Guiyang counties, at the beginning I was still worried that Ziwei was not enough troops after winning Lingling and Guiyang, and he was greedy for merit to make it lose in Wuling or Changsha, at this time, it seems that Ziwei really deserves to be the tiger general in our army, and Ziwei sent people to send a letter written by him, which said that the four counties in the south of Jingzhou have been captured by him, and Lu Su and Ling Tong intended to be enemies after they captured Changsha, but they were also defeated by Ziwei, except for Lingling Taishou Liu Du still temporarily stayed, but Ziwei also brought his parents and children back to Nanjun, and the rest of the three counties Ziwei all killed his Taishou, so that the newcomer replaced, Factor Wei was worried about the war in Jiangling, and at this time he had already led the army back to Jiangling, and the letter Ziwei instructed me to send reliable people to manage the land of the four counties as soon as possible, and should keep a close eye on Zhou Yu's army, lest it find out that Ziwei was leaving, and send a large army to fight again, how should the military adviser deal with this matter? ”
As soon as Zhuge Liang sat down, Liu Bei told Zhuge Liang about the content of Liu's letter, and his face was already smiling from ear to ear, Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei had been adrift for half a lifetime, living in no fixed place, and every time he sent people under the fence, he was repeatedly suspected and jealous, and a small county in Xinye District could endure for a long time, so now most of Jingzhou has been firmly grasped in his hands, and Liu Bei naturally has a sense of arrogance in his heart.
"Congratulations to the lord, with these four counties, we have no worries, just wait for Cao Cao to withdraw from the land of Jingzhou by himself, take advantage of the situation to seize Xiangyang, and Jingzhou will be almost completely controlled by us! As for the land of the four southern counties, there is no need to send people to take over at this moment, since General Ziwei has killed all those who surrendered to Cao Cao, he can also deter the county officials, we only need to keep an eye on Zhou Yu, and the four counties can be saved! ”
When this time of great joy, Zhuge Liang naturally could no longer talk about Liu Feng's fault, and Liu Feng was not at fault, so he pushed the boat down the river and wanted to expose the matter, but he also knew in his heart that when Liu Bei's war was over and his meritorious deeds were rewarded, Liu Feng would naturally be in the limelight.
"This is very good, I see how Sun Quan intends to get involved in the land of Jingxiang Nine Counties again this time!" Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's words, clenched his fist and slammed it on the case in front of him, and said fiercely, Sun Quan's soldiers are many generals, and he is not dead to Jingzhou's thief heart, these Liu Bei naturally knows that because of the joint resistance to Cao Cao, he had to endure this heart, and now Jingxiang has won the sixth, Liu Bei's heart is finally not as depressed as before......
That night, Liu Bei collected the generals into the camp and made the matter public, even if it was Guan Zhang and others, he heard that Liu Feng was able to make such a great contribution with that few people, and they were all impressed.
And Liu Feng also arrived in Jiangling City at this time, Pang Tong and Xu Shu and others had already received the news, greeted each other at the city gate, and saw that Liu Feng's men and horses were almost not damaged, and they all congratulated Liu Feng.
When Liu Feng saw this scene, a wave of pride surged in his heart, if there were a group of virtuous ministers and good generals like this under his command, who would fight with him in the north and south, and defend his home and country on his behalf, in this vast world, where could he not go and fight?
