"It is rumored that Liu Xie is dead?" Hearing this news, Cao Zhi couldn't believe it, according to his thoughts, since Liu Feng went to Luoyang in person, risked all the hardships, and tried his best to rob Liu Xie by replacing the stand-in, he should have wanted to replace Wei State to hold the Son of Heaven hostage to the status of the princes, and he should never spread the news that Liu Xie was dead when he left.

"Yes, we couldn't understand this matter at the beginning, but this matter has spread among the people, and there is no falsehood."

Xu Chu also frowned after hearing this, since Liu Feng had successfully taken Liu Xie away, it can be said that Liu Xie was imprisoned in Luoyang, and then showed that he rescued Liu Xie in the name of the Han clan, and naturally he would get the support and trust of the people in the world, no matter what, it would be more beneficial than announcing Liu Xie's death.

"I don't have to dwell on this matter for the time being, since Liu Feng dares to make such a blatant provocation, it means that he is ready to fight with my Wei State, in these few days, Dezu can return from Liangzhou, and General Zhongkang no longer has to go to Luoyang to guard, wait for me to reorganize my troops and horses, and start a war with Liu Feng! I'd like to see if he can come up with such a means on a frontal battlefield in addition to these insidious stratagems! ”

Cao Zhi's heart was also angry at this time, and he desperately wanted to regain his face through a big battle. Hard power is the reliance in Cao Zhi's heart, he knows that he sits on these most fertile places in the Central Plains, not only the number of troops under his command is much more than Liu Feng, but also the money and food are much more than Liu Feng. Such an advantage, according to common sense, can definitely bring a big victory to the Wei State, in the final analysis, in this troubled era to dominate, military strength is the first, it is precisely because Cao Cao had the military strength that he dared to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, otherwise the Son of Heaven will be taken away by others before he has not covered the heat in his hands.

Cao Zhi knows that he can't let Liu Feng eat away at his advantages like this, he wants to use the momentum of thunder, finish his work in one battle, and completely defeat Liu Feng, although he was able to make up his mind to fight with Cao Pi in the early years for the inheritance of the Wei State was greatly influenced by Liu Feng, but now he and Liu Feng are no longer in the position of the early years, the times create heroes, he and Liu Feng are destined to have only one of them standing on the top of this China, and now, there is no other way than to win.

And when Cao Zhi was strong, Liu Feng and Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun led the army to Nanyang County, the land of Nanyang, in Liu Biao, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, Liu Feng changed hands several times, and the years of conquest have caused the people of Nanyang to be miserable.

He knew that there was a very large gap in strength between himself and Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhi could not care about a territory like Nanyang that was located at the junction of the two forces, because even if Liu Feng captured Nanyang, as long as Luoyang was not broken, it would be impossible to penetrate into Cao Zhi's rich hinterland, and even if it was like last time, Liu Feng led an army of 80,000 to capture Luoyang, then Liu Feng, who was alone in the depths, would definitely fall into the encirclement of Cao Zhi's army in a short period of time, and the land of Luoyang would not be able to hold sooner or later. This is also the reason why Liu Feng immediately withdrew his troops as soon as he took Liu Xie away, and it was undoubtedly meaningless to spend troops there.

After pacifying the people of Nanyang, Liu Feng directly left Zhao Yun and his 50,000 troops in Nanyang, and he and Zhou Yu took Liu Xie and more than 20,000 troops back to Chengdu quickly.

As soon as Liu Feng and Zhou Yu arrived in Chengdu, they summoned Xu Shu, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, Wei Yan, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and others to the palace to discuss matters at night. But before Liu Feng could speak, he learned a bad news from Ma Chao's mouth, just when Liu Feng went to Luoyang, Cao Zhi sent Yang Xiu as the commander, Xu Huang as the vanguard, and launched a large army to raid Liangzhou, because the incident happened suddenly, Ma Chao just tried his best to save the war horses grazing in Liangzhou and the sergeants stationed in Liangzhou, and did not have a hard confrontation with Yang Xiu, but the result of this was naturally the loss of the land of Liangzhou.

But to Ma Chao's surprise, Liu Feng didn't seem to take the matter of losing Liangzhou to heart, but just asked Ma Chao how many war horses were left, and then asked Ma Chao to wait for his orders, don't act rashly. After that, the discussion of other matters began, and when the other matters in Liu Feng's mouth were said, Ma Chao finally knew why Liu Feng did not care about the loss of Liangzhou.

The next day, Liu Feng summoned all the courtiers to the court, and it was clear that he had something important to announce.

Sure enough, in today's court, as soon as Liu Feng spoke out, it caused a strong reaction from everyone, except for those important courtiers who were summoned into the palace by Liu Feng yesterday, the others were completely surprised and discussed.

It turned out that Liu Feng directly announced that from tomorrow, he would transfer the center of his power from the current Chengdu to Xiangyang, and many important courtiers would all leave for Xiangyang within three days, and Chengdu would only be the core of Yizhou in the future, and Fa Zheng, Meng Da, Yan Pu and Huang Zhong were mainly responsible, and their duties were only to guard the Wei soldiers who might invade in Liangzhou and Yongzhou and the people who were ready to move in Nanzhong, and the rest of the people, except for the local officials in Yizhou, All of them had to move to Xiangyang with Liu Feng and others.

This matter, in fact, has been thinking about Liu Feng's heart for a long time, within the scope of Yizhou, Chengdu is indeed the land of abundance, but if you look at it from a military point of view, Chengdu is naturally not a well-informed place, throughout the Central Plains, Chengdu and Xiangyang are really much more remote, only suitable for retreating here for defense, but it is not a good place to send troops to attack.

Liu Zhang, who was in the land of Yizhou before, had no ambitions, Chengdu was naturally enough for him, but Liu Feng was obviously different from him, and now after getting Nanyang, the entire territory of Jingzhou has been included in Liu Feng's pocket, plus Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Hanzhong, Shangyong, Liu Feng believes that no matter who can easily capture Xiangyang, therefore, the time to move to Xiangyang has come, after arriving in Xiangyang, the news of Liu Xie's death will definitely spread more widely, and at that time, he naturally has plans.
