Chapter 20: Childe Liu Qi
The two of them saw that Liu Feng's injuries were fine, so they relaxed slightly, Li Chuang obviously had a plan for this, Liu Feng's voice did not fall, so he got up and replied: "The general's two hundred horsemen, only in the chaos of luring the enemy, lost three people, wounded more than a dozen people, fortunately all of them are fine, our army did not hurt the muscles and bones. ”
Liu Feng bowed his head slightly, slightly relieved in his heart, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "In this defeat of the enemy army, are we already ready, armor and weapons?" ”
The reason why Liu Feng violated Zhuge Liang's order and did not return to Xinye in time after successfully luring the enemy was to capture the armor and weapons abandoned by Cao's army.
He has already received these ten battles, if he can't make the sergeant fully equipped, Liu Feng wants to bring Li Chuang's gang to ten battles to offset the merits.
Who knew that Li Chuang was overjoyed at this time, and said proudly: "This time, thanks to the general who led us to turn over and kill back, we have obtained more than 300 pieces of intact armor of the Cao army, more than 100 long and short weapons, and brought back nearly 100 war horses. According to a certain opinion, it is better to send the blacksmiths and tailors back, and if they do not want to, they should be kept in the army to be a sergeant, which is better than providing for nothing. ”
This time Li Chuang led the 200 horsemen back and forth to plunder, harvested a lot, Li Chuang was born as a mountain bandit, the 200 horses were already skilled in horsemanship, to the time of withdrawal, almost every war horse on the back of the weight of the broken scale, and by the way led nearly 100 war horses, after returning to the camp, naturally very proud.
"It's a good job, I didn't bear these ten battles in vain, but those blacksmiths and tailors, don't slack off, in the future, there will be more than these hundreds of sergeants under my command, if it is a huge scale and weapons and equipment cannot be self-sufficient, there is no combat power at all."
Liu Feng patiently explained, Li Chuang understood Liu Feng's good intentions, when he heard that Liu Feng said that there will be more than hundreds of people under his command in the future, Li Chuang's chest was even more passionate, and he suddenly recalled the pride of his youth in the Yellow Turban Army.
"General, I heard that this time Xiahou was defeated by the fire attack strategy proposed by the general, and Cao Cao is said to have stationed millions of troops in Xuchang, I am worried about ......" Meng Yao saw Liu Feng's pride at this time, but he said with a worried face, but Liu Feng did not wait for Meng Yao to finish speaking, so he interrupted Meng Yao's words.
"Cao Cao's army, I'm afraid that when Xiahoudun returns to Xuchang, he will immediately kill Xinye." Liu Feng's face was also solemn at this time, and he said slowly, this time Cao's army was defeated again, Cao Cao's anger in his heart can be imagined, this time he will no longer condone Liu Bei to sit in Jingzhou, and his own army will go south to take the land of Jingxiang Nine Counties, which has become a foregone conclusion.
"The general can have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy, this time Xiahou Dan's 100,000 army is coming, and the army is rumored that the plan of fire attack was originally proposed by the general, but the emperor's uncle believes in Kong Ming, so he taught him to sit in the army and order, if Cao Cao's army is coming, why don't the generals press Kong Ming anymore, so as to correct the public." Meng Yao knew a lot about the relationship between Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang, and he was also very worried that once Liu Bei believed in Zhuge Liang in everything, Liu Feng's position would be unstable.
"Thousands of soldiers in Xinye, and there is no danger to defend, although Fancheng is in the rear, it is not a place to defend for a long time, if Cao Cao leads dozens of generals and hundreds of thousands of soldiers to press the border, even if Sun Tzu is reborn, he is powerless to resist."
"This ...... General, if we can't do anything, what should we do? When Li Chuang heard Liu Feng's words, most of his pride was suddenly vented, and he had no idea when he thought of Cao Cao personally leading the army to suppress the border.
"If my father abandons Xinye, we just need to follow, only one point, when the two of you are there, you will be able to protect yourself, four hundred personal soldiers, and try your best to preserve, if Cao Cao can't take Jingxiang Nine Counties this time, I Liu Feng will definitely fly high in the future!"
Meng Yao and Li Chuang listened, their eyes were serious, and they bowed their hands and said: "The general just rest assured, no matter when, he will follow the general!" ”
After analyzing the situation, both of them were ugly, Liu Feng Haosheng comforted him, and told Li Chuang to immediately equip the 200 soldiers of Mangdangshan after returning to the camp, and buy horses in the surrounding counties of Xinye, and be sure to turn all the 400 soldiers into cavalry within a month, and practice riding skills in case of emergency. After giving the order, Liu Fengcai shared dinner with the two and went to rest and recuperate.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and there was a tense atmosphere in Liu Bei's army since the war, and everyone knew that the news that Cao Cao would send a large army again could come at any time.
When he returned from the punishment, Liu Feng ordered Meng Yao to secretly inquire about the sergeant who showed mercy to his subordinates that day, and learned that this person's surname was Tang Mingzhong, who was Liu Bei's personal soldier, and he was quite obedient to Liu Feng's wisdom and courage several times, so he made this move, Liu Feng did not move after learning about it, but secretly gave generous gifts to Tang Zhong's house, and hinted that Meng Yao often communicated with him in order to get some news.
On this day, Liu Feng was about to go to the camp to check whether the equipment and horses were complete, but the guards outside the door came to report, only saying that Liu Qi, the son of Jingzhou, was outside the door at the moment and wanted to visit Liu Feng.
Liu Feng heard Liu Qi's name, his heart was moved, Liu Qi is the eldest son of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, loyal, quite talented, but not good at scheming, his mother died early, stepmother Mrs. Cai is Cai Mao's own sister, Mrs. Cai in order to support her son Liu Cong to succeed to the lord of Jingzhou, often slander Liu Qi, causing Liu Biao to abolish the long and young.
Liu Qi knew that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were quite wise, and they had come to Xinye several times before to ask the two of them, but the two of them repeatedly shirked, and once Liu Feng bumped into Liu Qi and was frustrated, so he pulled into the mansion and drank a few cups and had a long talk, so Liu Qi regarded Liu Feng as a good friend, but also asked Liu Feng, Liu Feng saw that the situation was not in crisis several times before, and did not point out Liu Qi.
Liu Feng knew in his heart that if Liu Qi was pressed, Zhuge Liang would teach him to avoid trouble in Jiangxia, but Liu Feng did not think so, so he repeatedly advised Liu Feng not to lower his posture in front of Zhuge Liang, but to guide him to be closer to Liu Cousin, in order to be the lord of Jingzhou. At this time, Jingzhou was about to fall into a crisis, and Liu Feng suddenly thought that with Liu Qi's identity, he might be able to help Liu Bei give it a go, even if he could not repel Cao Cao, he could also occupy several counties in Jingzhou, in order to unite Wu to resist Cao.
"Childe, don't come unharmed, it's just right to come, it's good to drink a few cups with the seal." Liu Feng personally went out to greet him, and seeing Liu Qi's panicked expression, he knew a thing or two in his heart, but he still invited him in.
"Ziwei Mo wants to joke, the situation is already in crisis today, but Uncle Huang and Zhuge Junshi still talk about him left and right, if it wasn't for listening to Ziwei's words before, and not asking the military advisor to conspire with all his heart, why would it be today!"
