Chapter 159: To Each His Heart
Zhang Song immediately agreed with Liu Bei that he would persuade Liu Zhang again when he returned to the CD, saying that it was time to invite Liu Bei to enter the land of Shuzhong to fight against Zhang Lu, and mentioned that Cao Cao was very interested in the land of Hanzhong, and when Liu Zhang made up his mind to invite, it was the day when Liu Bei led the army into Yizhou.
There was Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da and others mediated, Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei again, it was only a matter of time, so after Zhang Song left, Liu Bei summoned the generals in Xiangyang City on the spot, and asked whether the existing men and horses in each county, baggage, money, and grain were complete, so as to prepare for the dispatch of troops to Yizhou.
At that moment, Zhuge Liang suggested that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others stay in Jingzhou to defend various counties, and Liu Feng and Zhang Fei led their headquarters to follow Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to Yizhou.
In the past six months, Liu Feng and Xu Shu have never had any contact with each other, and they have only met a few times in secret, so in Zhuge Liang's heart, Liu Feng and Xu Shu are mostly conflicted because of Xu Shu's request to guard Changsha before, so this time Xu Shu and Guan Yu are all left in Jingzhou, and the unfavorable appearance to Liu Feng is already very obvious.
After settling down this time, Liu Bei left Liu Feng and Zhang Fei in the mansion, and when he set off for Yizhou, Liu Feng led the army and horses of the headquarters and 5,000 foot soldiers as the front, Zhang Fei led 10,000 foot soldiers as the rear army, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang led 30,000 foot soldiers in the middle, and then went to Yizhou, Liu Feng and Zhang Fei were all ordered to go, and then they gave up.
After Liu Feng and others left, only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were left in the mansion, Liu Bei wondered: "Why didn't the military division send General Zilong to Yizhou, I only brought 40,000 foot soldiers this time, and the defenders in several counties of Jingzhou are sufficient, even if Sun Quan has the intention to attack, there is Yunchang to guard Xiakou, it is enough to refuse, plus Yuan Zhi and the veteran Huang Zhongtun soldiers in Changsha, why be afraid?" ”
"The lord doesn't know that Liu Zhang has been operating in Yizhou for many years, but he is still a quiet soldier but 100,000, a good general is only a dozen people, and there are traitors like Zhang Song, who are bent on selling the lord for glory, so he goes to Yizhou, and does not use many horses, only if the plan is appropriate, he will be able to win a big victory, and General Ziwei has been living in Jiangling City these days, according to rumors, he is indulged in lust every day, and all the responsibility for training troops is handed over to the generals under his command. What is the use of the lord? ”
According to this, Zhuge Liang is really dissatisfied with Liu Feng's performance in the past six months. But what he really thinks in his heart is that Liu Feng's unambitious move is quite strange, Zhuge Liang is thoughtful, quick thinking, and Liu Feng has clashed several times before, and he saw a rather uninhibited look in Liu Feng's eyes, compared to Wei Yan's legendary backlash in the back of his head, Liu Feng's eyes made Zhuge Liang feel more uneasy.
It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang secretly sent people to infiltrate Liu Feng's personal soldiers to listen to the news, but there has been no news in the past six months, which makes him feel more and more unconfident.
Although Liu Feng was having fun in Jiangling Mansion every day, Zhuge Liang faintly felt that Liu Feng had a sense of mystery, especially when Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun to be stationed in Jiangling after Liu Feng left, Liu Feng did not dislike it on the cover, nor did he refute it, which was far from Liu Feng, who had to fight for everything a year ago.
And this time he sent Liu Feng to lead the troops to follow Liu Bei to Yizhou, Zhuge Liang thought in his heart that he would take advantage of Liu Feng's departure to investigate the good life of Jiangling City to see if Liu Feng had done anything in Nanjun for more than half a year.
After all, according to Liu Bei's thoughts, after a hundred years, he asked Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang to assist his young son Liu Chan, but in Zhuge Liang's heart, even if he assisted Liu Chan, he and Liu Feng may have to go to his side to make the trip, but if Liu Feng can always gain Liu Bei's trust, coupled with his heavy army, Liu Bei will definitely settle accounts with his autumn queen after a hundred years, so Zhuge Liang will never let go of any opportunity to hit Liu Feng at this time.
At this time, Liu Bei heard that Zhuge Liang mentioned Liu Feng, and said with a smile: "Isn't the military advisor afraid that Ziwei will be hollowed out by wine?" I see that Ziwei is still walking in the tiger today, thinking that this martial arts have not been wasted, the military division can rest assured, Ziwei's personal soldiers are only less than two thousand, and I can attack the city and pull out the village, if there are other thoughts, I am afraid that the strength will not be enough, I make it pampered in Jiangling City, this half a year has passed, even if there is a sharp spirit in his heart, it is almost consumed......"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he bowed his head slightly, he naturally knew that Liu Bei had also sent someone to secretly observe Liu Feng's so-called, but he still said with a grim face: "Forgive Liang for saying a lot, Ziwei is a person, great merit is lightly rewarded, small merit is not rewarded, small merit is punished heavily, and if it is too big, it should be abandoned, otherwise once it is done, it will be difficult to control." ”
Liu Bei only blinked his eyes slightly a few times after hearing this, and he didn't say anything about the topic, but in his heart, he thought that Liu Feng controlled Liu Qi as soon as Liu Qi went to Jiangling and came up with the plan that made Liu Biao desperate, and Liu Qi's eyes and eyes flashed in Liu Bei's mind from time to time.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words this time, Liu Bei thought carefully about Liu Feng's strategy and achievements, and felt a little chilling, thinking that if Liu Feng became his enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable, so in Liu Bei's heart, he was even more jealous of Liu Feng.
And Liu Feng returned to Jiangling this time, and told Pang Tong everything that Liu Bei had arranged, and said that Liu Feng led the army to follow Liu Bei to Yizhou, and Hounan County might be guarded by Zhao Yun.
"This kind of arrangement, it must be Zhuge Liang's plan, Ziwei led the army as the vanguard of the front, and must be cautious, Shu Road is difficult, mostly sheep intestine paths, and thorns, although Liu Zhang invited, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and the like are internal responses, once the division is unfavorable, Ziwei will bear the brunt."
"Zhuge Liang is wishful thinking in his heart, how can I not know, although Liu Zhang is weak, but he is not a stupid person, we are waiting for such a large army to drive straight in, and it is not easy to take the CD without bloodshed, and control Yizhou, and now send me to be this pawn, the sinister intentions can be seen, but how can he Zhuge Liang get his wish?"
Seeing this situation, Pang Tong knew that Liu Feng had been prepared, so he didn't say more, and that night, the two discussed many matters after Liu Feng's expedition in Liu Feng's mansion until midnight before they separated.
This expedition, Liu Feng's heart is very high, Yizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, it is a rare place without war, this time follow Liu Bei at any time, but as a pioneer in the front, how can Liu Feng not make meritorious contributions, at this time in Liu Feng's eyes, Yizhou's gateway mouthpiece Fucheng, is already in his bag......
