Chapter 127: A Difficult Problem Emerges
The people in the city shot Jin Xuan, the city gate was immediately opened, a group of officials in the door, unarmed, have walked out of the city, the first person, as soon as he saw Liu Feng bowed down and said: "The villain Wuling County is engaged in Gong Zhi, I have been here for a long time as an official, and I have heard the name of Uncle Liu Huang's benevolence and righteousness, and now I want to persuade Taishou Jin Xuan to lead the army to surrender to Cheng, but this person keeps dissuading, insisting on going his own way, leading the army out of the city, I am equal to the city to discuss, categorically can no longer help the gang to abuse, so shoot Jin Xuan, and hand over Wuling to the general management!" ”
Liu Feng got off the horse and saw that this Gong Zhiguo was really as Liu Du said, his words were quite sincere, and he was not as hypocritical as Zhao Fan, so he temporarily appointed Gong Zhi as the Taishou of this Wuling on the spot, and arranged by Gong Zhi, and led the crowd into the city to rest.
Because Gong Zhi's heart is to Liu Bei, so as soon as Liu Feng entered the city, he summoned Gong Zhi to the house alone, Gong Zhi also heard of Liu Feng, knowing that he was very brave when he was in Xinye.
"Wuling and Changsha are not far apart, I don't know if you know a thing or two about Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha, but how is this person compared to Jin Xuan?" Although Liu Feng was a little jealous of Huang Zhong in his heart, he was afraid that he would delay the time because he could not defeat Huang Zhong, but Huang Zhong was serving under Han Xuan, once he could catch Han Xuan's slight weakness, it would be much easier than defeating Huang Zhong.
"The general doesn't know, this Han Xuan is quite famous in the nine counties of Jingxiang, but it is not a good name, Han Xuan is very anxious, if there is a war, he will definitely distinguish victory and defeat, and follow the rules, very mean and suspicious, most of the soldiers under his command have suffering, but they are subservient to its authority......"
Liu Feng listened to Gong Zhi's words, and had some thoughts in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked: "It is rumored that Huang Zhong, the general under Liu Biao in the past, is now in Changsha, I don't know how he gets along with Han Xuan, according to what you said before, I'm afraid that Han Xuan will probably not tolerate Huang Zhong." ”
Gong Zhi listened, sighed slightly, and replied: "Whether Han Xuan can tolerate Huang Zhong, we don't know, but under Han Xuan's command, except for Huang Zhong, there is no one to fight, so if Han Xuan encounters a war, he has to rely on Huang Zhong's bravery, according to legend, the two are still harmonious, but we don't know the details." ”
After hearing this, Liu Feng asked again: "Huang Zhong was originally a lieutenant general under Liu Biao, why did he deign to be in this land of Han Xuanyi?" ”
When Gong Zhi heard this, he sighed again, shook his head again and again, and said: "Huang Zhong is a very brave person in his early years, but his temperament is too honest and honest, every time someone fights for merit, he will give the credit to others, until he is over forty, he was appointed by Liu Biao as a Zhonglang general, and then he and Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan garrisoned Changsha You County, followed Liu Pan and Sun Ce to fight in Ai County, which has a little prestige, but after Jingzhou descended to Cao Cao, everyone went to run back and forth for an official and a half position, Huang Zhong was unmoved, In the end, he was only named a general by Cao Cao, and he was still under the command of Han Xuan, which really buried the fame of Huang Zhong I! ”
Liu Feng listened to Gong Zhi's discussion, he could be regarded as knowing a little about Huang Zhong, but at the same time he was very helpless in his heart, according to Gong Zhi, Huang Zhong is very honest and honest, in other words, he is a little pedantic, most of them only know that they are a general under Han Xuan, but they will not think about whether Han Xuan is right or wrong, so if Liu Feng goes to attack Changsha, Huang Zhong will probably do his best, so as to become the most difficult bone to gnaw among the four counties that Liu Feng conquered.
After thanking Gong Zhi, Liu Feng summoned Wei Yan and Gan Ning to the Wuling Taishou Mansion, and told the two of them the only remaining situation in Changsha to see what good strategies they had to break the enemy.
After telling the situation of Han Xuan and Huang Zhong, Wei Yan showed a contemplative look on his face, and when he saw Liu Fengzheng looking at him with both eyes, he said to Liu Feng that he and Han Xuan were old acquaintances, and according to his understanding, Han Xuan was no different from what Gong Zhi said.
"If Wen Chang goes to persuade him to surrender, I don't know if Han Xuan can surrender to his father, and then he will still be allowed to temporarily serve as the position of Changsha Taishou, which is no different from it." Liu Feng naturally wanted to take Changsha without spending a single soldier, and Wei Yan and Han Xuan were old acquaintances, which gave Liu Feng a breakthrough to take it down through negotiations.
"General Ziwei doesn't know, that Han Xuan is very stubborn and self-serving, if he can't defeat him, most of them can't convince him, and there are brave generals like Huang Zhong under his command at this time, so this person will definitely not negotiate with us......"
"In this case, I will pack up and go to Changsha tomorrow morning! If Han Xuan is really like this, he will take his head! Liu Feng was actually not afraid of Han Xuan, but he didn't want to ruin Huang Zhong's life during the chaotic war, through the mouths of these people, Liu Feng guessed in his heart that although this Huang Zhong was very honest and honest, he didn't like to fight for merit, but if he surrendered, his loyalty would be no problem, so he had a heart of love for talent, and then he explored some ways to make Han Xuan surrender, but at this time, he knew that he would not surrender, and he had already killed Han Xuan.
At this time, it has been more than four days since Liu Feng set off from Nanjun, Zhou Yu is leading the army to fight fiercely with Zhang Liao and others in Hefei, the two sides have won and lost each other, and it is difficult to distinguish for a while, on this day, Zhou Yu sent people to collect intelligence in Guiyang County came to report, saying that Liu Bei sent Liu Feng to take the four southern counties of Jingzhou, at this time it has already captured Lingling and Guiyang, and will march to Wuling in the near future.
Zhou Yu was very angry when he heard this, he thought that Zhuge Liang and he were generally trapped near Jiangxia by Cao Cao's army, Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun were all in the army, and Liu Feng alone only led 3,000 men and horses to resist Cao Ren in Nanjun, and he must not divide his troops to take other counties, and when Cao Cao retreated, he asked Sun Quan for troops and pocketed the entire territory of Jingzhou.
But in the past few days, Liu Feng secretly took two counties, Zhou Yu knew that if there was no action, Wuling and Changsha would probably not be able to be preserved, if all these counties fell into Liu Bei's hands like Nanjun, where was there any reason to return them to Jiangdong?
At that moment, Zhou Yu sent Lu Su as an envoy to meet Liu Bei Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Sun Quan had already spoken in advance when they formed an alliance, and they would discuss the ownership of Jingzhou after Cao Cao had to retreat.
This time Liu Bei sent Liu Feng behind Zhou Yu's back to seize the four counties, Zhou Yu naturally wanted to ask for an explanation, after all, now Cao Cao's army has not retreated, if the two families have a dispute and meet each other, Cao Cao is very likely to reap the benefits, so although Zhou Yu is angry, there is also a dilemma.
Lu Su was in Liu Bei's army, and Zhuge Liang saw that his face was quite unkind, so he knew that Lu Su's coming here was definitely not a good thing.
