Chapter 148: Fierce Soldiers
In this way, Liu Bei is sure that the counties of Jingzhou have been firmly controlled by him, and when the war between Zhou Yu and Zhang Liao is over, Zhou Yu can no longer pass through the Guan Yu defense line and obtain the land of Jingzhou one city and one county, obviously, Liu Bei is ready to break with Jiangdong by doing so, as long as he firmly holds Jingzhou, Sun Quan can only defend the land of Jiangdong, and cannot advance half a step west through Jingzhou!
After this reward, Liu Feng waited for everyone to disperse and went to meet Liu Bei, after all, Liu Feng did not see Liu Bei in these days since Huarong Dao set up an ambush, and Liu Bei did not understand the situation in the four counties in the south of Jingzhou, Liu Feng first told Liu Bei about the situation in those counties, and then Liu Xian, the son of Liu Du, and Liu Bei.
Liu Du is the only person who has not moved in the previous Taishou, Liu Bei is quite appreciative of Liu Feng's behavior, with Liu Xian in hand, even if he teaches Liu Du to only assist Mi Zhu, he will definitely not dare to disobey Yang and Yin.
Then, Liu Bei put forward a request that made Liu Feng quite dissatisfied, Liu Feng brought into Xiangyang before the two thousand soldiers and horses, Liu Bei was incorporated into the Xiangyang garrison, so that Liu Feng was stationed in Jiangling's army, but only 1,300 number, although Liu Bei personally promised to leave the 1,000 military horses to Liu Feng as his own soldiers, but 1,300 men and horses, what kind of storm can be set off?
At this time, Liu Feng was sure in his heart that Liu Bei had already been wary of it, although Liu Feng had already prepared for this, but at this time it was much earlier than what he had thought before, which naturally had Zhuge Liang's power, but Liu Bei was getting older, Liu Chan was still in infancy, and Liu Feng was getting stronger and stronger, obviously these reasons prompted Liu Bei to be wary of Liu Feng prematurely.
Liu Feng is still doing his best in everything, but he still has this result, and he let Liu Feng secretly think about the things he planned in his heart, with Liu Bei's attitude, I am afraid that it will be carried out in advance, otherwise even if Liu Bei goes west, Liu Feng will make new contributions to it, and he will not get the reward he deserves.
After thanking Liu Bei, Liu Feng asked for orders to return to Jiangling, and when he left, Liu Feng saw that Xu Shu was also about to go to see Liu Bei, Liu Feng did not wait for Xu Shu, and rode back to Jiangling alone.
After arriving in Jiangling, Pang Tong was very surprised to see Liu Feng return alone, and after Liu Feng told Pang Tong what happened in Xiangyang City, Pang Tong suddenly realized, and then his face showed a solemn look.
There was nothing to say all night, until the next day, Xu Shu returned, Liu Feng asked, only to know that Xu Shu and Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang had a drink last night, until midnight to end, so it was delayed all night, and Xu Shu also explained that his old mother was still in Jiangling, so he went straight to Jiangling, not to Changsha.
Liu Feng knew that if Xu Shu stayed in Jiangling for too long, it would definitely cause trouble in Liu Bei's ears, so he urgently summoned him and Pang Tong into the palace to discuss matters.
"Yuan Zhi knows why he insisted on inviting you into Changsha?" As soon as the two arrived, Liu Feng asked.
"According to what Ziwei said before, Huang Zhong has already surrendered to us, and it is a monolith to come to Changsha, what important things do Ziwei need to do in Changsha, if Uncle Pope and Zhuge Liang know, it doesn't hurt to say it today!"
Xu Shu's mind is so keen, Liu Feng's thoughts have already been known by him, but he doesn't know what Liu Feng's specific arrangements are.
"Yuan Zhike still remembers the hundreds of hundred steel knives that were sealed here before?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Ziwei's meaning......" As soon as Xu Shu heard it, he vaguely sensed in his heart what Liu Feng wanted him to do.
"Not bad! The 100 steel-making techniques, after these years of exploration, the blacksmith in the army has mastered the skill, but if the large-scale production of 100 steel-making in Jiangling, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be known by his father and Zhuge Liang, Yuan until Changsha, first cut off all the dissidents, and after controlling the situation, Feng then secretly escorted the blacksmith to Changsha, you can start smelting, and in the future, I will select the soldiers under my command, form a division of tigers and wolves, weapons and even armor, all to be made of this hundred steel, although there are only more than 1,000 people in the early stage, but the need is not small, If Yuan Zhi wants to produce it quietly, it will take a lot of energy......"
When Xu Shu heard this, his eyes lit up, after Liu Feng figured out the method of producing this hundred steel, the weapons held by the three hundred soldiers were stronger than ordinary sergeants, but starting from the weapons, all the sergeants under his command were replaced with the weapons produced by the hundred steelmaking, and even the armor, the cost was by no means a small amount, and the molten iron alone would never be less, and it was naturally quite difficult for Xu Shu to hide from Liu Bei's eyes and ears to do this.
"Ziwei rest assured, he underestimated what he did when he went to Changsha before, and now it seems that Ziwei sent Shu to go, I'm afraid he has overestimated Shu's ability." Xu Shu naturally didn't feel afraid, but just joked.
"Yuan Zhi can't be presumptuous, there is one more thing, Yuan Zhi and Huang Zhong Lao General need to complete together, that is, the two thousand men and horses led by Feng to Xiangyang were all taken back by his father, so there are only 1,300 pro-soldiers left in Jiangling City, and they are recruited here to buy horses, and in the end they are also recruited by their fathers, so if our army wants to develop and grow, this conscription will also fall on Yuan Zhi, Changsha military horses, can be divided into light and dark layers, noble but not expensive, specific matters, all up to Yuan Zhi!"
In this conversation, Liu Feng assigned two tasks to Xu Shu, one is to upgrade equipment, and the other is to expand soldiers and horses, these two things must be mentioned in Liu Feng's heart, although Liu Feng has not said it clearly at this time, but Xu Shu and Pang Tong both know that Liu Feng most of them don't want to endure it for a long time.
After Xu Shu responded to these two things, Liu Feng still had a solemn face, and continued: "These two things are to improve the strength ......of our army, and there is still a top-secret matter, which is also urgent."
"Ziwei, but it's okay to say!" Xu Shu already knew a lot about Liu Feng, and when he saw this situation, he knew that Liu Feng must have something important.
"To the south of Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou is remote, and the emperor's order is not as good as that, and before Liu Biao's new Cangwu County Taishou Wu Ju, he has some friendship with his father, so this is the best time for our army to seize Jiaozhou, but Fengguan's father has no such heart, but he wants to expand the army as soon as possible to conquer Yizhou, once the westward expedition, Jiaozhou is afraid of being sought by Sun Quan, so Feng has a heart......"
Xu Shu and Pang Tong never expected that Liu Feng would want to get involved in the land of Jiaozhou at this time, and he was ambitious, but Pang Tong thought for a moment, then frowned and said: "Ziwei can't be reckless, then Wu Ju has an old relationship with Uncle Liu Huang, once Ziwei has a change, Uncle Liu Huang will know about it, and this matter will be discussed in the long run......
