Chapter 21: Retreat as Advance
"Why did Childe say this, could it be that Cai Mao and the Cai family intend to assassinate Childe?" Seeing that Liu Qi was so hasty, Liu Feng knew that Xinye was afraid that something would happen, and Liu Qi probably failed to take the lead in the battle with Mrs. Cai's brothers and sisters, so he came to Xinye again, intending to ask Zhuge Liang.
"No, in recent months, my father's health has been much worse than before, although he can still barely support some time, but I am afraid that in the past few months, now the soldiers of Jingzhou, except for those who admire the prestige of the emperor's uncle, have been obtained by Cai Mao, so I am afraid that when my father returns to heaven, it will be the day of Qi's death......"
After that, Liu Qi actually sobbed in front of Liu Feng. Liu Feng knew that if it weren't for his persuasion, Liu Qi might have gotten Zhuge Liang's strategy at this time, and led the troops to Jiangxia to avoid trouble, even if Liu Biao died, Liu Qi's life would not be worry-free, and at this time Liu Qi was on Cai Mao's side, once Liu Biao lost, it would inevitably endanger his life.
At this time, the development of the situation is not a slow layout can be reversed, Liu Qi fell into decline in the succession, Cao Cao's army is also coming, Liu Feng wanted to use Liu Qi's momentum to help Liu Bei unify the nine counties of Jingxiang to resist Cao Cao is difficult to do, a thought of this, Liu Feng sighed in his heart, knowing that these two thousand years of red dust, the wheels are rolling, if you want to change it with your own strength, it is very difficult, the matter has come to this, only quickly transfer Liu Qi away, leave a rear place in Jingzhou, in case of emergency, is the best policy, Besides, Liu Qi listened to Liu Feng's words, and as for this, Liu Feng couldn't abandon it.
"Don't be sad about the child, this matter is because of the seal, the seal should solve this mystery for the son, the younger brother of the son, Liu Cong, is still young, everything is controlled by Cai Mao's sister and brother, and it is difficult for the son to compete with him for the time being, but doesn't the son hear that retreat is the way to advance?"
When Liu Qi heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where to retreat?" ”
"You have to find a place far away from Xiangyang, once something happens, then the son is not ready to be unprepared, according to the view, Jingxiang nine counties, only Jiangxia, for the son to avoid disaster, the son this time back, should be able to rectify the soldiers and horses, please Cheng Wuhou, please order the town to guard Jiangxia, Jiangxia and Dongwu look at each other from afar, Cai Mao's generation, will not dare to move the army to Jiangxia, after the son to Jiangxia, you can recuperate, if Ziwei is expected to be good, Cao Cao's army will be sent to Jingzhou today, if you can't do anything, My father and I should meet with my son in Jiangxia, and then slowly draw it. ”
After Liu Feng's words, Liu Qi had already understood the meaning of Liu Feng's words, if Cao Cao led the army to attack, although Jingzhou had more than 100,000 soldiers and thousands of warships, but there were no unscrupulous generals, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun's generation, all of whom were good at playing with power, but they were not good at leading troops to fight.
"Ziwei is really both civil and military, I will go to ask my father for his life, if he arrives in Jiangxia safely, let Ziwei know!" When Liu Qi got the plan, he became anxious, lest Liu Biao make any mistakes in the past few days and make him unable to make the trip, so he immediately resigned from Liu Feng and returned to Xiangyang.
Seeing off Liu Qi, Liu Feng hurriedly came to the camp where Li Chuang was, to see if the four hundred cavalry under his command were fully equipped, and when he arrived at the camp, Liu Feng could hear the neighing of horses in the camp, and hundreds of sergeants were galloping on horseback, all practicing riding and formation.
When Li Chuang saw that Liu Feng had arrived, he hurriedly stopped the sergeants and taught them to line up neatly so that Liu Feng could inspect them. Liu Feng saw that the two hundred ragged soldiers were now in bright armor and weapons, and his heart suddenly swelled with pride, his first personal army could be regarded as having been formed, and if these four elite cavalry were properly trained, they could fight with an enemy army several times their size without falling behind.
What Liu Feng wants now is to protect these 400 soldiers under the surprise attack of Cao Cao's army, and if Liu Bei wins Jingzhou, he can use these 400 cavalry as the main force to develop a strong cavalry.
"Who taught the formation that you practiced by Shi Cai?" Liu Feng thought of the formation practiced by the four hundred cavalry when he first arrived, which was very mysterious in Liu Feng's opinion, giving people a sense of dazzle, if it was a real battle, it would definitely have a great effect, so he asked.
"This is the flank attack formation taught by the Meng military division, if it is against the infantry, you can use this formation to constantly change, rushing back and forth to kill the enemy's flank, so that the enemy is overwhelmed, it is a battle method with fewer enemies and more enemies, if our army is proficient in archery, this formation can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Liu Feng on the Han Dynasty formation, but know very little, at this time heard Li Chuang's words, the brain is like a Daigo empowerment, in ancient times, the use of soldiers, more soldiers and fewer soldiers is only one side of the victory, and this other side, it depends on the wisdom of the boss, or the effect of the formation, if the formation is proper, with their own strengths, attack the other's shortcomings, or can win more less.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng asked again: "Meng Yao is twenty years old, how can he understand the formation of this pair of enemies?" Liu Feng knew that although Meng Yao was a woman, she was amazingly wise, and whenever he discussed the general trend of the world with Liu Feng, he pointed out that Liu Bei should first obtain the land of Jingzhou before he had the capital to compete in the Central Plains.
"The general doesn't know, Meng Yao's father is the general who followed Zhang Bao in the Yellow Turban Army back then, Zhang Bao is already familiar with the formation, so he has followed Zhang Bao for several years, and he is also familiar with a lot, Meng Yao has followed us since he was a child, but he is particularly focused on this strategy and formation, and his father passed on the formation and books obtained from Zhang Bao to Meng Yao, I don't want Meng Yao to be self-taught, so I was jointly elected by us as the master of the cottage."
The matter of falling grass and mangdang mountain, since Meng Yao and Li Chuang, although Liu Feng returned to Xinye, no one dared to mention it, so Liu Feng also knew ominous about the past of the two, today Liu Feng asked about the formation, Li Chuang simply told Meng Yao's life experience together, in order to solve Liu Feng's confusion.
Knowing that Meng Yao was proficient in formations, and had the books collected by Zhang Bao of the Yellow Turban, Liu Feng was very excited in his heart, that Zhang Bao rebelled with his brother Zhang Jiao, and the person who relied on it was Zhang Jiao's thaumaturgy, known as the Yellow Turban Technique, and the three brothers of Zhang Jiao set off the source of this troubled era in the Eastern Han Dynasty with their unarmed people, so there must be some thaumaturgy in the books collected by the three of them.
Liu Feng relied on only bravery, wisdom, and the understanding of the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms in his heart, and a genius like Zhuge Liang, although he had no courage, he was proficient in all kinds of thaumaturgy, and made good use of the time, Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang had a bad relationship, and he was worried that Zhuge Liang would not be able to use the power of the time to benefit himself. If Meng Yao could master these thaumaturgy, he would be able to prevent Zhuge Liang's sinister intentions from happening.
Thinking of this, Liu Feng went back to the mansion and went straight to the house where Meng Yao was, at this time Meng Yao was studying in the house, seeing Liu Feng rushing over, thinking that Cao Jun was coming, he hurriedly stood up and went to get the sword hanging on the wall.
