Chapter 136: The Four Counties

Lu Su and Ling Tong knew that this matter had to be like this, and in desperation, they both nodded yes. This time, Lu Su's plan was expected by Liu Feng, so Liu Feng was able to take the first step, kill Han Xuan, and set up an ambush to force the two to this point, if Lu Su only had appreciation for Liu Feng before, now, he added a little awe in his heart.

Seeing that the two nodded in response, Liu Feng immediately waved his hand and the sergeant behind him made way for the two and motioned for the two to leave.

Seeing Ling Tong and Lu Su lead the army to leave, Liu Feng was slightly relieved, he let the two leave, it was also a helpless move, Lu Su is the person Zhou Yu almost relied on the most, once he killed him, Zhou Yu will definitely fight with Liu Bei, and then Zhuge Liang will take the opportunity to incite Liu Bei, and put the responsibility for this matter on Liu Feng, and resolve the merit of seizing the four counties, Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang have been dealing for a long time, so it is natural to avoid this situation.

If the two of them really told Zhou Yu as Liu Feng told them, then Liu Feng occupied Changsha first, and did not destroy the Sun-Liu alliance, Zhou Yu must only swallow such bitter fruits, and have no face to reason with Liu Bei about this matter, only in this way, this merit of seizing the four southern counties of Jingzhou can be firmly counted on Liu Feng, and will not be left behind.

Seeing Ling Tong and Lu Su go in the direction of Jiangdong Yingzhai, Liu Feng led the army back to Linxiang City.

The former guard general of Changsha County, when he saw Huang Zhong returning, they all bowed their heads, and without Han Xuan at this moment, it showed that Huang Zhong had an outstanding position in Changsha County, and Liu Feng was naturally happy to see this, and he already had a plan in his heart at this time for the situation of Changsha County.

After settling all the soldiers, Liu Feng asked Huang Zhong to list all the people in the county who were useful and had pure hearts, and summoned these people into the Taishou Mansion together with Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Gan Ning.

"Han Xuan's temperament is brutal, he can't be used, he can't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and he doesn't distinguish between good and evil, so he ended up like this, I have already surrendered the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling, plus Nanjun, the five counties of Jingzhou, have already belonged to us, because my father is not over in front of the war, so I temporarily ordered the old general Huang Zhong to perform the duties of Changsha Taishou here, and then make plans after repelling Cao Cao's army!"

When everyone in the original Changsha County heard Liu Feng's words, their faces were relieved, full of smiles, Huang Zhong was not only a good commander of the army, but also a generous person, and attached great importance to affection and righteousness, compared to living tremblingly under Han Xuan, Huang Zhong temporarily took over this too guarded position, I don't know how much better.

But Huang Zhong himself was like Gan Ning and Wei Yan, showing a little incomprehension. Liu Feng did everything possible to summon him to his command before, obviously for the purpose of attacking the city and plundering the land with him in the future, and at this time, they were naturally puzzled by placing Huang Zhong in this rear Changsha land. But Liu Feng's order had already been spoken, Huang Zhong naturally couldn't question it, and hurriedly thanked him, and then stood aside.

After settling all the matters in Changsha City, Liu Feng sent everyone out of the house, leaving only Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, Wei Yan and the three of them, the three of them looked at each other, and they knew that Liu Feng probably had unfinished words before, so they all cheered up, and this time they followed Liu Feng to conquer the four counties, and every battle was hearty, especially the two of Lu Su and Ling Tong were forced to run away, so that the three of them were full of admiration for Liu Feng's wisdom and bravery.

"Old General Han Sheng, is it a little difficult to understand staying in Changsha?" Liu Fengming ordered the three of them to sit in the banquet, looked at Huang Zhong, smiled heartily and then asked.

Huang Zhong saw that Liu Feng saw what he was thinking, but he just laughed, but he didn't say anything, his temperament was not as rough as Wei Yan and Gan Ning, and he and Liu Feng were between monarchs and ministers after all, so he didn't agree to this at will.

"That's true, since the general already knows it in his heart, why does he still leave the old general here? There is still Wuling near Changsha, there is still Nanjun in the north, it is not a very difficult place to defend, the old general He Lao is here to guard, if the old general and I are together with the general to kill the enemy, then I and Xingba are ashamed! ”

Wei Yan saw that Huang Zhong was just silent, but in a hurry, he said what Huang Zhong thought in his heart.

"Since both of you are convinced by the old general Han Sheng, then it is the right place for me to leave the old general here."

Liu Feng said, the three of them all looked at each other, unable to understand, so Liu Feng said: "Although we have captured the four counties today, but when Cao Cao retreats, the land of these four counties will definitely not be guarded by people close to Feng, and that Lingling and Guiyang are far away in the south, not to mention it, Wuling and Nanjun are adjacent, you can not do it, but Changsha is different, Changsha east of Xiangshui can go directly to Jiangdong, if the father and Sun Quan's alliance is broken due to the fight for Jingzhou, this is an important place, leaving the old general here, the most appropriate, even if it is Zhuge Kongming." , when he understands the bravery of the old general, he will not easily send him elsewhere. ”

Liu Feng said this, and did not continue, but Gan Ning and Wei Yan both understood the meaning of Liu Feng's words, for Liu Feng at this time, both of them knew that the body of the righteous son, no matter how great the merit was, it would also cause vigilance and suspicion, so this work through the sky, and finally be able to exchange the land of Nanjun and a county is already good, so placing Huang Zhong in this Changsha County is a later move, without Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang knowing, and leaving a rear place in the hinterland of Jingzhou, after the two understood, they both secretly admired Liu Feng's foresight.

And the reason why Liu Feng decided so much is because he and Huang Zhong are life-saving graces, so with Huang Zhong's temperament, he will definitely be loyal to Liu Feng, and besides, Liu Feng is fashionable and not when he shows his edge, there are Wei Yan, Li Chuang, Gan Ning, plus Pang Tong and Xu Shu, which are already a little eye-catching, plus Huang Zhong, if Liu Bei detects, most of them will be more wary of him, at least at this time, Liu Feng is not willing to do so.

During this period, Wei Yan and Gan Ning both told Huang Zhong about Liu Feng's various achievements, and the purpose was naturally to let Huang Zhong understand what Liu Feng was thinking, and to see if he would really be loyal to Liu Feng.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong has no good impression of Zhuge Liang, a person who only knows how to plan in the middle, Liu Feng is the son of Liu Bei, and in his opinion, he is the king, and Zhuge Liang is a minister, so he learned that Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang were not on good terms, and Huang Zhong had no good impression of Zhuge Liang in his heart.

It wasn't until late at night that Liu Feng taught Huang Zhong what he needed to pay attention to here. So far, this expedition to the four counties, Liu Feng almost did not lose a single soldier, and he achieved his previous plan, calculating the time, Liu Feng knew that when he immediately rushed back to Nanjun, Jiangling City, there was still a problem that had to be solved.
