Chapter 267: Sit and watch the clouds rise

"Then, according to your opinion, how should we deal with it?" Liu Feng was obviously very satisfied with Xu Shu's previous analysis, and after bowing his head, he asked everyone again.

"Shangyong is a land, since Cao Cao does not take it, it cannot be held in the hands of Zhuge Liang for a long time, if Zhuge Liang is full-fledged in the future, he will definitely march from Shangyong to us, so Shangyong is still in our hands, it is a safe thing."

Although Wei Yan is only the commander of the Feiyu Guard, he usually follows Liu Feng's side to protect him, but under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also sees many strategies for Liu Feng, over the years, Wei Yan has already discovered that once Liu Feng encounters a war, he will take the initiative to attack, if he has no other plans, he will never be attacked by the opponent to the city before raising troops to counterattack, and in recent days, Liu Feng led the army to fight successively, which made the generals under his command also have great confidence, so Wei Yan put forward a proposal to seize Shangyong.

Wei Yan said, Liu Feng did not comment but smiled slightly, then looked at Ma Chao and asked: "General Meng Qi was first in Liangzhou, then out of Tongguan, and more than one in Hanzhong, I don't know if I can understand the Yong, according to General Meng Qi, this time Zhuge Liang took the Yong, what impact does it have on us?" ”

When Ma Chao heard this, there was no panic on his face, but he sorted out his thoughts slightly, looked at Liu Feng and said: "Since the Qin and Han dynasties, Shangyong is the place where Hanzhong belongs, and now our army has Hanzhong, if Shangyong is owned by Zhuge Liang, as General Wenchang said, there will be chaos over time, but according to Chao's opinion, this is not a good opportunity to capture Shangyong, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun have not returned to Xiangyang with heavy troops in Shangyong, most of them are waiting for us to wave the army, but I can wait for Yizhou, Hanzhong, and the land of the five counties of Jingzhou need to be guarded, so there are not many soldiers that can be mobilized......"

Obviously, although Ma Chao stopped saying at this time, the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious, that is, this mediocrity was naturally to be taken, but Liu Feng was expanding a little too fast now, there were many soldiers and generals, and the land of Yizhou was not stable, so this was not a good opportunity to capture mediocrity.

"Then General Meng Qi, do you know when it is a good opportunity to send troops to attack Shangyong?" Liu Feng is also quite interested in what Ma Chao thinks in his heart, Ma Chao is in the prime of life at this time, and he is the person that Liu Feng will rely on for many tough battles in the future, so what is Ma Chao's ability, Liu Feng has to understand, in addition to the veteran Huang Zhong, who has both offense and defense, the biggest killer in Liu Feng's array is none other than Ma Chao.

"The lord has the right time and place, it is better to sit and watch the clouds rise, and it is not too late to decide the victory between Zhang Fei and Cao Pi, and when Nanyang and Runan and Yiyang are all recaptured by Cao Pi, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang will no longer be able to sit firmly in the mediocrity."

Obviously, Ma Chao's analysis is already very thorough, just this one word, so that Liu Feng can rest assured that Ma Chao alone led an army to take charge of himself, in Liu Feng's heart, if it weren't for the blood feud that sometimes exterminated the clan would make Ma Chao's mind a little less clear, Ma Chao's ability should not be under Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, plus Guan Yu is arrogant, and he doesn't put others in his eyes, Zhang Fei is contemptuous and has no way to govern the army, Ma Chao's ability should be better than the two.

"General Meng Qi's words have made Feng Shou quite useful, at this time, we really shouldn't send troops to compete with Zhuge Liang for the mean, so as to respond to all changes without change, it is the best policy."

In Liu Feng's heart, he naturally knew that he should not send troops at this time, in fact, in this year, not only Liu Feng used a strange plot to get the land of Yizhou and Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang got Nanyang, Runan and Yiyang, it was also something that Liu Feng did not expect, and Cao Cao still did not send troops to compete with Zhuge Liang for the lost Yong when he could not conquer in person, but sent troops to directly attack Nanyang, where Zhang Fei was in charge.

Liu Feng knew that at this time, the competition for the land of the Central Plains had already fallen into a white-hot situation, which was much more complicated than the three-point world known in the previous life, not only because of his own birth in time much earlier, but also more complicated than the three-point world.

Liu Feng knew the three-point world in his previous life, although Shu Han was not strong enough, but he was sitting on the danger of terrain, Cao manipulated countless elite soldiers, if there was no overwhelming advantage, it would never be possible to attack Xichuan, and now such a terrain danger fell into the hands of Liu Feng.

In the previous life, Jiangdong, because of the later acquisition of Jingzhou, the Central Plains waterways were almost all occupied by Jiangdong, so Cao Cao, who did not have a water army, did not dare to easily lead the army into Jiangdong, especially when Cao Cao once led an army of 830,000 to go, but he was still under the lesson of the defeat of Chibi.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the three-point world that Liu Feng knew in the previous life was able to maintain for decades, and now, the waterway is not completely in the hands of Sun Quan, and the ambitious Sun Quan was almost suppressed by Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang in Yangzhou, and Zhuge Liang, although his wisdom is unparalleled, but it is really no danger to defend, and at this time it is the twilight of Cao Cao, who will inherit the Wei State is still inconclusive.

Therefore, Liu Feng has been keenly aware that within a few years, at most when Cao Cao dies, an unprecedented war will break out on the land of the Central Plains, and this war will really determine the territory of the next few years, or even more than ten years.

Thinking of this, Liu Feng no longer mentioned the matter of the mean, but discussed with the three of them what the land of Yizhou and Hanzhong could bring to Liu Feng in addition to the well-known advantages of the country of abundance, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and what else could be brought to Liu Feng.

After some discussion, Liu Feng finally decided that the first thing to do, in addition to tightly controlling the land of Yizhou and Hanzhong, and screening out the people who violated his yang and yin due to Liu Feng's hasty occupation before, the most important thing is to recruit troops and train troops in Yizhou and Hanzhong, Liu Feng's current army is equivalent to the number of Sun Quan who occupies the land of Jiangdong, but Liu Feng's territory is much more than Sun Quan, which is not a good thing, if Liu Feng can't allocate his troops properly, once a place is raided, he will be exhausted under the lack of troops, This is the biggest hidden danger that Liu Feng faces at this time.

And just as Liu Feng was recruiting troops in Yizhou and Hanzhong, preparing to expand the total number of soldiers under his command to 300,000, a battle that had lasted for a long time was still in full swing.

On a vacant land twenty miles outside the city of Pingyu, the seat of the county of Runan County, it was full of camp tents at this time, and several handsome flags fluttered in the wind, and the big word "Cao" on it showed that this was the army led by Cao Pi.
