Chapter 4: Giving the Word
"What's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Seeing that Liu Feng's face was grim, Liu Bei only thought he was worried in his heart, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement, Liu Feng can make this contribution, he is ready to reward him in his heart, let Liu Feng propose, it's just a scene.
"Feng does not have the heart to add an official to the knighthood, but I only want to accompany my father often, but there is still a reluctant invitation, that is, the seal has a name without a word, please give my father a word!" Liu Feng clasped his hands into fists and knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Bei, and his words were sincere.
Liu Bei didn't expect that Liu Feng didn't care about the addition of officials to the lord and lead the soldiers, and the reward mentioned was only for the matter of giving words, and he couldn't help but be shocked, Liu Feng was not yet twenty years old at this time, and according to common sense, he should not be so eager to give words, but he didn't want to reveal all his achievements for the sake of giving words.
"Since this intention is given, for the father to be a good life, this time he retreated from Cao Ren with his own strength, and beheaded his general, seriously injured Li Dian, my son deserves the word mighty, why not take the word Ziwei, how?"
Liu Bei is also full of poetry and books, for this matter naturally comes easily, a little thought, then got the word Ziwei, Liu Feng is still quite satisfied with this word, the fashion of raising this matter and worried that Liu Bei will take a lame word perfunctory, at this time seeing Liu Bei live up to expectations, hurriedly shouted thanks: "Feng, thank you father for the grace of the word!" ”
Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun and Shan Fu both congratulated Liu Feng, only Zhang Fei, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, Liu Feng looked at it coldly, but did not make a sound, and returned the salute to Zhao Yun and Shan Fu, and sat down under Liu Bei.
Liu Bei originally came to relieve the siege of Fancheng this time, led 8,000 soldiers and horses, and saw that Fancheng was safe, so that Shan Fu could agree on the defense of Fancheng, and then left 5,000 soldiers and horses in Fancheng, and still left Zhao Yun to guard the city, but ordered Liu Feng to return to Xinye with him.
Liu Bei has this decision, Liu Feng is still very satisfied in his heart, before taking the initiative to ask for orders to assist Zhao Yun to guard Fancheng, but he was in turmoil for the first time, and at this time he had already experienced a battle to defend the city, and Liu Feng's mind had been settled.
He already has a plan in his heart, at this time, only by following Liu Bei and gradually showing his talent can he occupy a place in Liu Bei's army, which is full of fierce generals, if he is far away from the center of power for a long time, the road will be difficult in the future. Don't reward today, as long as you give words, you will have to ask Liu Feng in history because he was not taken seriously and had no words for life.
With Liu Bei back to Xinye, Liu Feng got the opportunity to discuss the development plan of Liu Bei Group with Guan Zhang, Shan Fu, Sun Gan and others, but Liu Feng knew that he could not be too sharp, and almost just listened to the strategies of a few people, and did not interject.
A few days in Xinye, Liu Feng has figured out the attitude of Liu Bei's generals towards his own righteous son, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei needless to say, the two are characters with eyes above the top, and when Liu Bei first met Liu Feng, Guan Yu compared it to a moth, so these days did not have any intimacy with Liu Feng, but was not very friendly.
As for Sun Qian, Mi Fang and his ilk were respectful, but they kept a considerable distance from Liu Feng, and obviously did not treat each other sincerely.
However, Shan Fu often talked about the use of troops with Liu Feng, inquired in detail about the details of Liu Feng's retreat from Cao Ren, and appreciated Liu Feng's courage and methods.
For Shan Fu, Liu Feng was very conflicted in his heart, he knew in his heart that Shan Fu was from the pseudonym of Xu Shu of Yingchuan, and when Cao Ren returned to Cao Ying, he would inform Cao Cao, and Xu Shu's days in Xinye would also come to an end.
After thinking about it again and again, Liu Feng was determined not to break Xu Shu, a talent like Xu Shu, if Liu Bei learned that he intended to conceal it, he would definitely be suspicious, it was better to wait for the time to be ripe for him to say the reason in person.
The only Xu Shu who is good friends with himself is about to leave, so that Liu Feng is depressed, so he has to make up for his riding skills every day to vent his frustration, through the battle with Li Dian, Liu Feng has already realized that fighting with people, most of the test is riding, if it can be integrated with the mount, even if the force is mediocre, it can also be invincible.
On this day, Liu Feng was practicing the art of riding and archery that he was not good at, and suddenly Liu Bei sent an order to report and urgently recruit him into Liu Bei's chamber.
When he arrived in the hall, he saw that Xu Shu was calm and sitting on the position of the military advisor, Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly went to his own seat to sit down, waiting for Liu Bei.
After a while, Guan Zhang and the others arrived, and Liu Bei also walked out quickly from behind the handsome tent, his face was grim, showing that something important had happened.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Recently, the scouts in our army reported that the villages more than ten miles away from Xinye County were robbed one after another, and the people's surplus food was obtained by the robbers, and now it has been reported, there are hundreds of bandits, most of them now live in Mangdang Mountain, dozens of miles away from Xinye County, and from time to time down the mountain to loot, and now many of the victims have poured into Xinye, and in the long run, Xinye is afraid of being overwhelmed, who is willing to lead the troops to go and exterminate the bandits!" ”
It turned out that the area of Xinye County was not very vast, Liu Bei had been operating here for several years, there were many soldiers, and the daily grain and grass were consumed, and almost all the money and grain around Xinye were expropriated. Therefore, the suppression of bandits has become a top priority.
Seeing this situation, Liu Bei had to look at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and said, "Two virtuous brothers, can you go?" This small group of bandits is not expected to be powerful. ”
When Zhang Fei heard this, he stood up and replied loudly: "Brother's words are wrong, it's just killing chickens, just use a knife, since it is a small group of bandits, just send a squad of sergeants to go, why Laowu and the second brother?" ”
Although Guan Yu did not answer, it was obvious that he was just as Zhang Fei thought, and he was unwilling to lead the troops to exterminate the bandits of these hundreds of people.
As soon as Zhang Fei's voice fell, no one in the hall answered, and as soon as the words of killing chickens with a knife came out, no matter who they were, they would not take the initiative to take over this errand of surrendering their identity.
Liu Bei was helpless, so he had to glare at Zhang Fei fiercely, and turned his gaze to Xu Shu, with an inquiring meaning in his eyes.
Seeing this situation, Xu Shu smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, this time to suppress bandits, there is a good candidate, this person goes to exterminate these hundreds of bandits, it is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." ”
"Who?"
"At this time, in the hall, it is the son of the envoy, the little general Ziwei, the little general injured Li Dian in the first battle, and retired Cao Ren, it can be seen that he is wise and brave, but after all, he is eighteen years old, and his qualifications are still shallow.
As soon as Xu Shu said this, Liu Bei's eyes were also bright, and it was reasonable, Xu Shu's words were very feasible, Liu Feng had personally led fifty horsemen to face the courage of Cao Jun's more than 10,000 people, and hundreds of rogues, which was not a problem.
"Two virtuous brothers, what do you think Ziwei is going to do?"
"Very good! There were more than 10,000 Cao troops in the past, but it was rumored that if this bandit could be destroyed, it would show its true bravery. Obviously, Guan Yu was not convinced by Liu Feng's retreat from Cao Ren's army.
