Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Song with a little surprise, in his impression, Liu Feng and Zhuge Song had no friendship, and Liu Feng did not send reinforcements, and Zhuge Songben, who had been on the battlefield in Jingzhou, was also the victim party.

At this time, listening to Zhuge Song's mouth, because he had just made a great contribution, Liu Bei waved his hand to stop the sergeant who was about to be executed. looked at Zhuge Song and said, "Why is Song'er blocking it?" ”

Zhuge Song bowed to Liu Bei on his horse and said: "Although the young general is at fault, at present, there are no less than 20,000 brothers Meng Da and Shen Tan in Shangyong's army, but there are only more than 10,000 people in the main office. Moreover, Meng Da rebelled, and he would collude with the Wei army to help, and General Zhao and Zheng Liang were temporarily left in Jingzhou by the lord. I hope that the Lord will be fair to him for his guilt and meritorious service, and when he regains his mediocrity, it will not be too late to discuss how to deal with it! ”

Liu Feng was pressed down on the side of the road and was very grateful when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "My son is willing to wear a crime and make meritorious service!" I am willing to make meritorious service for my crimes! Ask the father to give his son a chance! ”

However, the current Liu Bei is not the same as in the past, when he was in Xinye, half of Jingzhou was not lost and there were two rivers in him, thinking that the Shangyong rebels and Wei army reinforcements might be several times the soldiers and horses he led, although Zhuge Song repeatedly performed amazingly, but he was still unwilling to take risks after a little groaning, and said to Zhuge Song: "What Song'er said is reasonable, the rebels and Wei reinforcements are actually several times more than us, why don't you return to Jiangling temporarily, and then Xu Tu will recover it in the future?" ”

When Zhuge Song heard this, he knew that Liu Bei's family was already rich and he was over half a hundred years old, so he must not be willing to take risks. But the reason why he was sent to Shangyong by Liu Bei before was because after the incident with Guan Yu through Maicheng, although Guan Gong would not make enemies, it was really embarrassing to meet. Besides, Liu Bei just and Sun Quan repaired the army, and there should be no more battles in a few years, if he returns to Wuling at this time, although he can have a beautiful wife and concubine, but if Liu Bei wants to go on the Northern Expedition, it will be difficult for him to participate, and he is really unwilling.

Thinking of Sima Yi's book of rushing to quell the rebellion, Zhu Mengda was in a month, and Zhuge Song, who had greatly increased his confidence because of the capture of Jiangling, decided to take another risk.

I saw him turn over and dismount and bend his knees and half-kneel in front of Liu Bei's horse and arch his hand: "Meng Da is crazy, why worry about his teeth, the young general's failure is all due to rebellion and rebellion." The Wei army was also seriously injured by General Guan in Fancheng before, and if he heard that our army was small this time, he would definitely not send a large army to save Meng Da. Please temporarily divide half of the army horses and Song'er headquarters with the major general to go to Shangyong, and return to Jiangling with Pang Junshi to listen to the good news! ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed, turned his head to Liu Feng and said: "The rebel army is powerful, do you dare to go with General Pingxi to break the enemy?" ”

Liu Feng felt Zhuge Song's grace of intercession, and secondly, because he had not been forgiven by Liu Bei for not saving Guan Yu, although it was difficult and dangerous to go to Shangyong, but compared with returning to Jiangling to be responsible, it was undoubtedly much better to go to Shangyong. Therefore, Liu Feng kowtowed again and again and replied: "The son is willing to go!" My son is willing to go! ”

Liu Bei lowered his face coldly and said: "This is going to the mediocrity, the situation is difficult, you will listen to the dispatch of General Pingxi in everything, wait for the mediocrity to be restored, and the merit will be reversed, if there is a mistake, the two crimes will be punished together!" ”

Liu Feng said yes again and again, and the sergeant dispersed behind Liu Bei, and he stood up and gathered the soldiers and horses of the department to join forces with Zhuge Song.

At the time of separation, Liu Bei said to Zhuge Song: "The genius of Gu Zhiqing is allowed to quell the rebellion." However, the rebel army is strong, and there is fear of Wei aid, it is good to recover Shangyong, and if it is difficult, there is no need to be reluctant, and return to Jiangling, and then Xu Tu will forge ahead! ”

Zhuge Song bowed his head and said, "King Xie, Song'er must think twice!" ”

So Liu Bei divided 5,000 elite soldiers and Zhuge Song, and led the remaining 5,000 people back to Jiangling with Pang Tong. Zhuge Song gathered 3,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters, a total of 8,000 people, but he did not hurry, but only slowly went to the mediocre.

After only a stick of incense, Liu Feng couldn't bear to say on the side: "General, Meng Da rebelled and will collude with Wei Yuan, why didn't our army rush to the city and recover Shangyong before Wei Yuan arrived?" ”

Zhuge Song sighed, didn't answer in a hurry, and asked Liu Fengdao: "If we march in a hurry to the mediocre, how many days does the young general think that we can reach the mediocrity from here?" ”

Liu Feng pondered silently for a moment, and replied: "Since then, if you go north, if you march in a hurry, you can arrive in five days!" ”

Zhuge Song said: "Wancheng is 1,200 miles from Shangyong to Yong, and the rapid march can be reached in eight days, and Meng Da rebels, and the Wei army must be secretly communicated first." Although Da knew that I and the lord would bring troops to take over Shangyong, I didn't know how many of our troops were, so the Wei reinforcements were set to take precautions day and night before they arrived, and they didn't dare to relax! Shangyong has 20,000 troops, but our army is only 8,000 troops and horses, and the city must be sleepy and lacking in horses, so how can we attack the city? Even if Meng Da was unprepared and took the city by luck, how would the Wei army defend the city if it arrived? ”

Liu Feng was flustered when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Since this is the case, then this trip is already a defeat and no victory, why did the general talk in front of his father to recover the mediocrity?"

Although Zhuge Song had a plan in his heart, he had decided to take the risk of attacking Shangyong at this time, but he also wanted to sell Liu Feng's personal favor in a row, so he sighed: "It's not because of you, the young general?" ”

"For me?" Liu Feng remembered Zhuge Song's previous rescue in front of Liu Bei, and a kind of speculation made him chatter: "I have no deep friendship with the general. Speaking of this, his thinking suddenly became clear, and he was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse: "Is it so that I can atone for my sins and not be blamed by my father's staff?" ”

At this point, Zhuge Song simply said earnestly: "In the past, Meng Da attacked Shangyong, and the king was afraid that his few soldiers would not be able to do it, so he sent the young general to help. and the Shen Tan brothers surrendered without a fight, the king ordered the young general to be the county guard, Meng Da deputy, and Da was dissatisfied with the young general. Therefore, if General Guan loses the relationship between the young general and General Guan's uncle and nephew, the major general is the person who leads the mediocrity, and he is the first responsibility. ”

Liu Feng burst into tears: "In the past, Liao Hua came to beg, I wanted to raise troops to rescue, but Meng Da did not obey, and the Shen Tan brothers were all new troops. Uncle is in trouble, but he is unwilling, he really can't! He leaned down on his horse and cried.

Zhuge Song read history and knew that Liu Bei had no children in the perennial campaign, so he accepted Liu Feng as the queen and cultivated it carefully. and Liu Chan was born, and was chased and killed by Cao Cao from Xinye to Changbanpo, and his wife and children could not take care of him. However, since receiving the two rivers and having half of Jingzhou, he has not yet claimed the king of Hanzhong, so he took the opportunity of Liu Feng to capture Shangyong, and called Wang Li Liu Chan the son of the king. Although Liu Feng had to be appointed as the commander of the county, he had become a foreign minister and could no longer be by Liu Bei's side often.

Seeing Liu Feng crying at this moment, Zhuge Song's compassion suddenly rose, although Liu Bei's son is understandable, but Liu Feng has been serving for his conquest for many years, even if he can't get the position, he won't die, so he intends to try his best to save his life in the future.

Of course, this is all a matter of the future, Zhuge Song shook his head gently, how to attack the mediocrity in front of him is the first thing he has to think about, he had to expel the other distracting thoughts in his heart, thinking about the capture of Meng Da by Sima Yi Keri in the book, and the spiritual light that flashed in his mind before the battle in front of Liu Bei, while slowing down, he tried to make the outline of the strategy clearer and more thorough.
