Chapter 548: How to Dominate
When the courtiers reported the recent events of various states and counties to Liu Feng, and they were waiting for Liu Feng to announce the dissolution of the dynasty as before, Liu Feng said something that shocked their hearts.
"Before I experienced two wars in Jingzhou, the princes worked hard for the survival of Jingzhou, which kept my Jingzhou safe, and then got a large area of land in Jiangdong, so in the past few months, there has been no more use of soldiers, but recently in various states and counties to understand, my Han is already the people's desire, and the Central Plains has only one, and there will be only one Han, the people of the Central Plains should live under the education of my Han, so from today on, my Han will declare war on Wei, if Cao Zhi can not directly surrender my Han, a big war is inevitable. I hope you will prepare early! ”
Liu Feng said this paragraph very suddenly, and there was no indication that Liu Feng wanted to use troops against Wei before, and most of the mobile forces were not in Jingzhou at this time, so the ministers were a little confused about Liu Feng's words.
But Pang Tong and Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun and the others who stood closest in front of Liu Cover did not change their faces, and when everyone looked at them, they knew that most of them had already learned some rumors, or that Liu Feng's decision was made today after discussing it with his confidants before.
After more than half a year, the people of Jiangdong finally returned to their hearts, and Liu Feng in order to maintain the stability of the Jiangdong regime, let Lu Su and Lu Xun jointly manage Jingzhou, the naval army that had been stationed in Jingzhou before, was also led by Gan Ning and Ling Tong stationed in Jiangdong, the original elite naval army in Jiangdong, except for a small part of the enrichment into the Jingzhou naval army, the rest were scattered by Liu Feng into the infantry or cavalry.
Jiangdong has been acquired by Liu Feng, and Wei does not have any naval army, so Liu Feng also intends to reduce his naval army, so that in addition to a small increase in the naval army, Liu Feng's infantry compared with the previous not only replenished the troops consumed by Sima Yi and Cao Zhang's attack, but also strengthened to a certain extent.
And it was these enhancements that allowed Liu Feng to see the situation between himself and the Wei forces, and he knew that at this time, it should have been the Wei State that had experienced two major defeats, whether it was Cao Zhi, the generals and courtiers under his command, or even the people of Wei State, it was the moment of the lowest willpower.
With the support of such an idea, Liu Feng sent scouts to investigate the situation of Wei, and the final result made Liu Feng very excited, through the return of the scouts, Liu Feng learned that Cao Zhi was afraid of himself, and distributed the Wei army originally stationed around Yecheng to many important towns adjacent to Jingzhou, Jiangdong or Yizhou to guard, so that even the original Wei State, which was very strong, could not raise a very large number of mobile soldiers, which was obviously what Liu Feng was happy to see.
Such news is enough to show that Cao Zhi at this time has slowly regarded himself as a weak party, and no matter how bad he is, he also sees Liu Feng as an enemy on a par with his own strength, and the comparison of strength between the two forces has undergone earth-shaking changes in Cao Zhi unconsciously, and once it continues to develop according to this trend, the consequences are already predictable.
Therefore, Liu Feng immediately thought that the time was ripe at this time, and summoned Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and others to discuss the next plan.
At this time, Liu Feng directly put forward a word that everyone had been thinking about but no one had said in front of everyone, that is, hegemony.
After the efforts of Liu Feng and his subordinates over the years, the battle for hegemony has changed from being out of reach to being close at hand.
When Liu Feng proposed to fight for hegemony, the first thought that appeared in everyone's minds was that Liu Feng was afraid that he was in a bit of a hurry this time, after Cao Zhi inherited Cao Cao's Wei State, although he was defeated in the two attacks on Liu Feng, but in terms of internal affairs, Cao Zhi showed his ability, although the Wei State at this time was a little demoralized because of the two defeats, but it can be said that all aspects are operating normally, and the people in the hinterland still recognize Cao Zhi's rule, and the barbarians on the border do not dare to invade a bit.
But when the somewhat conservative Zhou Yu learned of this and proposed to Liu Feng the fact that if he attacked Wei now, he was afraid that it would cause the domestic guards to be empty, Liu Feng dispelled Zhou Yu's concerns with only one sentence, and at the same time let Pang Tong, who also had a lot of concerns, swallow the words that had come to his mouth back into his stomach.
Liu Feng said to Zhou Yu: "Although this is not the strongest time for us, but it is the time when the morale of Wei is the lowest, Wei has changed from offensive to defensive, if there is any more hesitation, after Wei will recover its troops, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity." ”
Liu Feng's henchmen know that Liu Feng has never relied on the advantage of troops in the war, since he set up his own door in several counties in the south of Jingzhou, no matter which battle Liu Feng launched, he did not rely on the advantage of troops to achieve the final victory, Liu Feng relied on his indomitable momentum and unexpected strategy to the enemy, and this time, on the basis of ensuring that Wei now adopts a passive defensive strategy against Liu Feng, Liu Feng obviously has a lot of room to play.
Sure enough, after Liu Feng announced that he would declare war on Wei to dominate the Central Plains, the ministers did not have any objections, but their morale was high, and they naturally knew what it meant after Liu Feng really unified the Central Plains, which meant that Liu Feng was about to become the emperor who was recorded in history, and they were the people who followed Liu Feng's side.
After announcing this matter, Liu Feng did not announce how to transfer troops in the court, but immediately ordered someone to read out a crusade against Cao Wei in the court, this text is very fierce, how Cao Cao kidnapped Liu Xie, killed Liu Xie's courtiers one by one, and said that Cao Cao became the original national thief Dong Zhuo like a person, according to Liu Feng, Wei occupied Luoyang and other places, the name is not right, and he is the current emperor who accepted Liu Xie's Chan concession, It was the duty to recover the Han lands that had fallen into Cao Zhi's hands, and in the text, Liu Feng used his power as emperor to abolish Cao Zhi as king of Wei, and called all the Wei army rebels.
