Chapter 155: Thriving
Liu Feng helped Liu Bei except for Liu Qi's matter, although only the two of them knew, but Liu Qi did not return to Xiakou for a long time, Liu Qi's family asked about this matter, what Liu Feng did not expect was that Liu Bei actually instructed Guan Yu to whisper to Liu Qi's family that Liu Qi finally appeared in Liu Feng's mansion, and where Liu Qi is now, only Liu Feng may know.
In this way, Liu Qi's wife and his young son went to Jiangling to beg Liu Feng bitterly, Liu Feng could not tell the truth, so he simply bought a courtyard for him in Jiangling, only saying that Liu Qi was far away from home, and Liu Qi's wife saw that Liu Feng treated him very kindly, and after a long time, they no longer asked each other, but lived a stable life in Jiangling City.
After this incident, Liu Feng was even more disappointed in Liu Bei, Liu Qi has always been known to Liu Bei as an uncle, even if Liu Biao was a pastor of Jingzhou, he was also very respectful, and Liu Bei acquiesced to Liu Feng's assassination of Liu Qi this time, and pushed it to Liu Feng afterwards, although Liu Feng proposed this plan to Liu Bei was actually to save Liu Qi, but when the strategy was successful, it was also the beginning of Liu Feng's disappointment with Liu Bei.
In Liu Feng's heart, Liu Bei is still like this for Liu Qi, who is kind to him, if Liu Feng threatens Liu Chan's status in the future, even if he has made achievements in the world in the past, he will inevitably be killed.
At this point, Liu Feng's heart is already drifting away from Liu Bei Zhuge Liang and the like, he thought that with the body of a righteous son, he could let Liu Bei treat him like a parent, but now, he knows in his heart that this kind of thing will definitely not happen to him, the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty, the concubine is still different, not to mention his righteous son who is called a moth? Only by taking precautions will it not be too miserable.
So, Liu Feng settled down, concentrated on governing the affairs of Nanjun, recruited troops and horses in Jiangling, and played with his two wives in Jingzhou from time to time, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang saw in their eyes, they were very satisfied with Liu Feng's performance.
But what surprised Zhuge Liang was that the brave and warlike man he bought in Liu Feng's personal soldiers before had not reported back to him since Chibi, although he was a little uneasy in his heart, but there was no need to report it, but it was Zhuge Liang himself who said it, so Zhuge Liang could only regard Liu Feng as Liu Feng and did not move, but deep down he did not relax towards Liu Feng.
Under the grass warbler flying, half a year is fleeting, Liu Bei used this half a year, has been firmly in control of the land of Jingzhou, and actively recruited troops and horses, because Jingzhou is already rich, Liu Biao did not like to fight at the time, and Liu Bei is very famous in Jingzhou, the local squires and rich people are generous, in order to help Liu Bei expand military funds, to this day, Liu Bei only Xiangyang has no less than 50,000 horses, plus the soldiers recruited by various counties, at least 150,000 can be gathered, compared to before the battle of Chibi, the change can be described as earth-shaking.
At this time, Liu Feng was still the same as before at first glance, with only 1,500 personal soldiers under his command stationed in Jiangling City, and practicing formations from time to time, except for the 1,500 people's weapons all changed to long knives, there was no change.
But if it is true, Liu Feng's development in the past six months is not much worse than Liu Bei, just talking about this thousand five hundred soldiers, Liu Feng is confident that once he reaches the battlefield, he can defeat ten thousand people, or even more, just because in this half a year, not only all his weapons have been replaced with those hundred steel swords, but also taught him no less than 20 sets of enemy formations, no matter what kind of troops, these 1,500 soldiers are not afraid.
A month ago, Liu Feng had already named these 1,500 personal soldiers Fei Yuwei, with Wei Yan as his governor and Li Chuang as his deputy governor. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang don't know these details.
And not far from the intersection of Nanjun and Changsha counties in the mountains and mountains, surrounded by trees there is also an unknown land, on this land, from half a year ago hundreds of people practiced here, gradually more and more, to now there are 5,000, it is Liu Feng Xu Shu and Huang Zhong secretly recruited in Changsha.
These 5,000 men and horses, mostly taught by Huang Zhong, between the past six months, is also a good combat power, although there is still a big gap with Fei Yuwei, but this is Liu Feng's reserve force, unless it is absolutely necessary, will never shoot, once this army is dispatched, Liu Feng's plans for these days, all of them are exposed, this is naturally not something that Liu Feng can imagine at this time.
On this day, 5,000 people and horses are still practicing in the mountains, but there is a line of people dressed in ordinary people's clothes in the mountains, the leader is Liu Feng, and the three behind him are Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Huang Zhong, this is the second time Liu Feng came here in half a year, although he attaches great importance to these 5,000 soldiers in his heart, but if he often secretly leaves Jiangling, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be seen by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and this time he led Pang Tong to come, because he received an important news, and he had to discuss with Xu Shu to know how to develop in the future.
"Although Ziwei has been enduring for more than half a year, this fashion is not the time to bring this team out to the world, why do you need the three of me to come together?" Xu Shu was a little surprised that Liu Feng hurriedly summoned him and Huang Zhong here, and asked as soon as he sat down.
"Yuan Zhi didn't know, this time Uncle Liu Huang got a letter from Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Liu Zhang was Zhang Lu in Hanzhong in the north, and he actually wanted to invite Uncle Liu Huang to lead the army westward to help him break Zhang Lu, it is inevitable to come to this westward expedition, I and Ziwei are determined, within three months, Uncle Liu Huang will definitely raise troops, and then Ziwei will definitely go with the army, how I will act in Jingzhou, and I have to make plans early......"
Without waiting for Liu Feng to speak, Pang Tong first told Xu Shu about the matter, Xu Shu listened, his face was full of incomprehension, and asked: "Liu Zhang has been entrenched in Yizhou for many years, and the land of Yizhou is not annexed by Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, why ask Uncle Liu Huang to lead the army to help, this is not a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, it is actually a move to lure the wolf into the house!" ”
Liu Feng saw that Xu Shu said something that broke the sky, and couldn't help but smile indifferently, and said: "Zhuge Liang has been planning for several months since he got Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang has been very close to Zhang Song in Yizhou, Zhang Song is a person who is chasing fame and fortune and is unwilling to be mediocre, then Liu Zhang is Liu Yan's youngest son, with a cowardly temperament, Zhang Luben is attached to Liu Yan, seeing that Liu Zhang's temperament must be disrespectful to him, and Cao Cao has the heart to conquer Hanzhong from time to time, under internal and external troubles, how can Liu Zhang see the situation clearly?" ”
"It seems like this, it is a matter of time before the land of Yizhou falls into the hands of the emperor's uncle, I have just had some strength in Jingzhou, if Ziwei goes to Yizhou with the emperor's uncle in a few months, once the situation in Jingzhou changes, it will not be beneficial to us......"
Xu Shu's words are obviously quite reasonable, once Liu Bei expeditions to Yizhou, he will definitely leave a general to guard Jingzhou, but this person can never be Liu Feng.
