Chapter 416: Ambition

After listening to Pang Tong's words, Liu Feng did not rush to discuss the matter of sending troops, but turned his head to Xu Shu and asked: "Yuan Zhi just returned from Jingzhou a few days ago, I don't know about Jingzhou, how are the preparations going?" ”

Xu Shu, who had been quietly listening to Zhou Yu and Pang Tong and others, looked at Liu Feng unhurriedly, Xu Shu was sent to Jingzhou by Liu Feng alone soon after Zhou Yu's arrival, as for what happened to Jingzhou, only Liu Feng and Xu Shu themselves knew, Pang Tong and Zhou Yu were also very curious about Xu Shu's mysterious escape, but Xu Shu did not reveal it, at this time I heard Liu Feng ask, they all pricked up their ears, obviously, Liu Feng's foreshadowing has been buried, if nothing else, It's definitely time to start wrapping up.

"The Jingzhou Navy has begun to take shape at this time, and Zhuge Liang has won Jiangdong at the beginning, so he naturally does not dare to make a time, after I arrived in Jiangling, I changed the Jingzhou Navy to readjust, according to the lord's idea, at this time the Navy has been used to put pressure on Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang has not gained a stable foothold in the situation that he has attracted a small number of troops in his hands to the border between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, so that Zhuge Liang wants to quickly control the interior of Jiangdong It has become almost impossible, Therefore, if we want to take advantage of these months to start a big war, it will be more than enough! ”

Hearing Xu Shu say this, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong both nodded again and again, according to Xu Shu, one of the main purposes of Liu Feng sending him to Jingzhou was to take extremely aggressive measures against Zhuge Liang, who had recently occupied Jiangdong, and forced Zhuge Liang to stabilize the Jiangdong land that had not yet been covered with heat in his hands with peace of mind, so as to delay Zhuge Liang's development.

This side has delayed Zhuge Liang's development in Jiangdong, and that side is naturally to have a big war with Cao Zhi wholeheartedly, and according to this preparation, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong both guessed that Liu Feng wanted to be the one who provoked the war first, not just a passive defense because his strength was not as good as Wei's.

The reason why it is a water army is obviously because Jingzhou and Jiangdong face each other across the river and harass Zhuge Liang, and the water army is enough, and Wei has no water army, so such a deployment will not affect Liu Feng and Wei to start a war.

"So good! I don't know another thing, how is the probing? ”

As soon as they heard Liu Feng say another thing, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong's eyes lit up again, since Xu Shu, who was very familiar with Jingzhou, went to Jingzhou, then this other thing must be more important than dragging Zhuge Liang, and it must be closely related to Liu Feng's next plan, the two were not disappointed that Liu Feng concealed this matter, Liu Feng's temperament They have already understood it thoroughly through these days, just like when Zhou Yu was fully responsible for Yingchuan's affairs before, others didn't know anything, They all know that they only need to do a good job of the person they are responsible for, and as for the overall situation, it is still in Liu Feng's hands.

"Through the lord to seize Xiangyang when the elite was arranged in the city and infiltrated to the north, it is already the land of Nanyang adjacent to Xiangyang to explore clearly, Nanyang is an important town in Jingzhou, and before Wei was a little negligent to guard against being captured by Zhuge Liang for some time, so after getting Nanyang again, Wei sent a lot of defenders in Nanyang County, it is estimated that the number is at least 30,000, if this is the case, it is a little difficult for us to send troops to Xiangyang to take Nanyang, but just yesterday, Just got a lot of news in our favor. ”

As soon as Xu Shu spoke, the people present understood Liu Feng's intentions, because Liu Feng sat on the land of Jingzhou, Yizhou and even Liangzhou, and almost formed an encirclement of half of the Wei State, so if Liu Feng wanted to send troops, he would naturally have a lot of choices, but according to Xu Shu's words before, Liu Feng's goal was obviously set to send troops from Xiangyang, and the first target was naturally Nanyang, which originally belonged to Jingzhou.

Such a deployment, Zhou Yu and Pang Tong thought about it carefully, and they both bowed slightly, and such a decision can be said to be both reasonable and unexpected.

Although Xiangyang is the most important location in Jingzhou, but it is the place where Liu Feng has just recently been in his pocket, if it is according to common sense, Liu Feng wants to send troops, he will definitely choose Yizhou, which he has been operating for a long time, and even before Zhou Yu also suggested that Liu Feng send troops to Yangpingguan and take Yongzhou directly, now in retrospect, his suggestion is really better than sending troops from Xiangyang.

The scale of Xiangyang is very large, and it is not far from Nanyang, the battle line is not long, all kinds of supplies can keep up, and Wei originally had a lot of defenders in Nanyang, almost will not consider that Liu Feng will dare to send troops from Xiangyang, such a result is naturally that once Liu Feng defeats the defenders in Nanyang, who are mostly lucky and careless, there will be no other obstacles on this defense line.

"What's the news, Yuan Zhidon't want to sell Guanzi again, let's talk quickly!"

Liu Fengnai was an anxious man, and he couldn't hear Xu Shu's words so loudly, so he hurriedly asked at this time.

"The generals who were originally guarding in Nanyang were Yu Ban who fought with our army and even Zhuge Liang many times, this person is the best at defending the city, if this person is in Nanyang, we will face more than 30,000 defenders led by him, most of them will be somewhat damaged, but just yesterday, I received news that Yu Ban was recalled to Yecheng by Cao Zhi for some reason, according to what the previous lord said, most of it was because of the Yingchuan incident that caused the shock above the Wei court, which called some generals back, this is not a good thing for us?"

After Xu Shu finished speaking, Liu Feng bowed slightly, and was about to speak again, but saw Pang Tong stand up and asked: "The lord has spent so much time, if he only wants to plot this mere place of Nanyang, wouldn't he waste the upheaval in the court of the Wei State?" ”

Obviously, Pang Tong was not satisfied with Liu Feng and Xu Shu's remarks that there was only one place in Nanyang.

In the face of Pang Tong's questioning, Liu Feng was not eager, just smiled slightly, then stood up and walked to the edge of the map on the wall, and looked at Pang Tong and said: "Mr. Shiyuan, do you remember what we discussed before, why can't we be so eager to become king?" ”

Liu Feng suddenly mentioned the matter of claiming the king, Pang Tong's face froze, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but after looking at the map on Liu Feng's side, he thought about it in his heart again, and his eyes suddenly shot a little light, obviously, he had understood Liu Feng's true intentions.

Zhou Yu, who was still sitting in his seat at this time, also had a smile on his face, he had long known in his heart that with Liu Feng's heart, he would never go to great lengths for a Nanyang, but he didn't expect Liu Feng's ambition to be so big.
