Chapter 147: Equivalent Exchange
"Feng had already pleaded guilty to his father on this matter at the city gate, and his father did not say anything to blame, why is this the military advisor, the reason why Feng let Cao Zhi return to Cao Ying, one is to exchange Cao Zhi for Xiangyang, which is an equivalent exchange, how can the military advisor not know? The two of them found that Cao Zhi was competing with Cao Pi for the position of Cao Cao's son, if they didn't put it back, after a few years, how could we take advantage of it? ”
Liu Feng's words made everyone look at each other, and put Cao Zhi back into Cao Cao's army privately, which was indeed abrupt, but taking Xiangyang was enough to offset the merits, Zhuge Liang jumped out at this time to accuse, nothing more than to rub Liu Feng's sharp spirit, but he didn't want Liu Feng to be able to deal with it so fiercely, and even took into account the events behind Cao Cao a few years later, which made Zhuge Liang a little speechless for a while, this time, even if Zhuge Liang did not have the upper hand in terms of reason.
Just when the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Xu Shu stood up from the queue, stood in front of Liu Feng, and said: "Shu has returned from Cao Ying, and he has not made an inch, but he has a reluctant request, I don't know if I can say it?" ”
Zhuge Liang was holding back a red color on his face at this time, he didn't know how to respond, and he didn't want to be soft, Xu Shu's words could be regarded as relieving him, Zhuge Liang coughed lightly, and threw a grateful look at Xu Shu.
"Why did Yuan Zhi say this, if Yuan Zhi didn't use a clever plan when he was in Xinye, how could we be here, and how could I get such a prodigy as a military advisor? If you have anything to ask for, just say it! Liu Bei was also helpless at this time because Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang had a dispute again, and when he heard this, he hurriedly took over the words and no longer paid attention to Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang.
"When Shu was in Jiangling, he secretly studied the situation of several counties in Jingzhou, and learned that Huang Zhong, a veteran general in Changsha County, commanded the troops quite a little disciplined, and Changsha was located in the middle, and there was Xiangshui, which was an excellent place to train troops.
Liu Feng heard this, deliberately put on an impatient look on his face, brushed his sleeves and returned to the queue, his dissatisfaction was overflowing, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both saw it in their eyes.
"Changsha District is a small county, how can Yuan Zhi display his talents, why don't you stay in Xiangyang and make suggestions with the military advisors?" Liu Bei appreciated Xu Shu very much, but he didn't expect Xu Shu to invite himself to Changsha to work, and he felt a little reluctant in his heart, so he said something to save him.
I saw that Xu Shu only smiled slightly when he heard this, and replied: "The lord is now beside him for a long time, and there are more talents such as Zhuge military division, if the lord stays here, the icing on the cake is okay, but it is difficult to make a difference, if the lord does not place the lord in a county in Changsha, he can also have expectations in the future." ”
Liu Bei saw that Xu Shu's mind was so firm, so he guessed that most of him was unwilling to succumb to Zhuge Liang, and then retained it, and was afraid of provoking Zhuge Liang's dislike, so he turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and said: "The military advisor and Yuan Zhi are old friends, and the talented military advisor of Yuan Zhi also knows it in his heart, I don't know what Yuan Zhi thinks about going to take charge of Changsha?" ”
Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei finally asked, and immediately made a look of embarrassment, and said after a long time: "Yuan Zhi's talent, it is almost the same as his appearance, but the director is slightly different, Liang dare not say it lightly, but if Yuan Zhi is really sent to Changsha, it will be a few months, and more than a year, Changsha will definitely have earth-shaking changes!" ”
Zhuge Liang's words mean that it is very obvious, although he affirms Xu Shu's talent, the implication is that Xu Shu's strategy is not as good as Zhuge Liang, and the management of the county is acceptable, in fact, it is recommended that Liu Bei follow Xu Shu's wishes and transfer him to Changsha.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang said this, Liu Bei had no choice but to agree, looked at Xu Shu and said: "Since Yuan Zhi has this heart, he will hand over the land of Changsha County to Yuan Zhi to manage, then Huang Zhong I also heard about it in my early years, so I taught him to assist Yuan Zhi in Changsha to recruit troops and buy horses, for the future use of the Western Expedition, Yuan Zhi has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he hopes to cherish it!" ”
When Xu Shu heard this, he hurriedly thanked Liu Bei, even if he accepted the post of Changsha Taishou.
Xu Shu didn't know how to raise this matter before, but Liu Feng had glanced at Xu Shu out of the corner of his eye when Zhuge Liang questioned it before, and Xu Shu didn't know what Liu Feng wanted at first, but when Liu Feng forced Zhuge Liang to be speechless for a while, Xu Shu realized that this was a good opportunity to raise this matter.
One is because of his appearance for Zhuge Liang to relieve the siege, which will make Zhuge Liang think that he and Liu Feng only have a relationship, but Er'er, and his heart is still closer to Zhuge Liang, and the other is that Xu Shu asked himself to leave Liu Bei's side and go to the small county of Changsha, which is exactly what Zhuge Liang thinks but can't say directly.
This matter is over, Liu Bei looked at Liu Feng again, and said with a smile: "Changsha was taken by Ziwei, and now it is in the hands of Yuan Zhi, is Ziwei willing?" ”
"Jingzhou belongs, all belong to my father, and I dare not say anything!"
Although Liu Feng said this at this time, his tone was quite stiff, in Liu Bei's opinion, he was naturally quite dissatisfied with Xu Shu's relief from Zhuge Liang, but Liu Bei pretended not to know, and continued to ask: "In this case, what does Ziwei like about the remaining counties?" ”
"At this time, some people were stationed in Jiangling City in Nanjun, these days Feng is already quite familiar with Nanjun, and Nanjun is adjacent to Xiangyang, and Feng is stationed in Jiangling City, if his father is called, or Cao Cao, Sun Quan has moved, Feng will arrive in a few days, and relieve his father's worries!"
Liu Feng's words were also sincere and impeccable, and what Liu Bei was worried about before was that Liu Feng asked for his life to go to remote places such as Guiyang or Lingling, so that Liu Bei could not know what he was doing, and now Liu Feng asked to stay in Jiangling, almost close to Xiangyang, Liu Bei had no worries, looked at Zhuge Liang, and he also bowed slightly.
"In this case, the land of Nanjun will be under the jurisdiction of Ziwei, Jiangling is also an important town in Jingzhou, Ziwei will recruit troops and horses here, train soldiers, and wait for Jingzhou's affairs to be calmed down, I have my own use, and although Ziwei is in such a comfortable place as Jiangling, it is not far from Xiangyang and Xiakou, once there is a war, Ziwei will lead the army to support as soon as possible!" Liu Bei agreed to Liu Feng's request and asked for it.
Liu Feng naturally received the order, before Pang Tong said, the geography of Nanjun is in the middle, once Liu Feng makes a move here, or meets with whom, it is all under the surveillance of everyone, and there is no risk of supporting the army and self-respect, so Liu Bei will definitely agree, seeing that this is the case today, Liu Feng sneered in his heart.
At this point, the two major events in Liu Feng's heart were all achieved, and then Liu Bei only sent Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and Jian Yong, the three old ministers, to Lingling, Guiyang and Wuling County, and the rest of the people were left in Xiangyang.
