Chapter 140: Seeking Xiangyang

The three of them discussed the matter in Liu Feng's mansion, until there was a faint hint of fish belly white in the east, Pang Tong and Xu Shu said goodbye and left, but the two of them looked sleepless at this time, obviously, assisting such an ambitious and courageous young lord also made the two of them who were over thirty years old regain a lot of the feeling of being reckless and uninhibited when they were young.

After the two left, Liu Feng did not go to the couch to rest, but just looked at Sun Shangxiang, who was sleeping peacefully, sat beside her and stroked the long hair on her forehead, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted to Xiangyang, not far away......

The strategy proposed by Liu Feng the night before was precisely under the premise of Zhuge Liang's failure to capture Xiangyang, using Cao Zhishang in Liu Feng's hands to blackmail Cao Cao to withdraw from Xiangyang, further retreat to the north, and retreat to the north of Xinye.

But Liu Feng also knew that once he did this, it would be equivalent to failing to return Cao Zhi to Cao Cao as unconditionally as he had agreed with Cao Cao in advance, and it would be difficult to negotiate with Cao Cao on other matters in the future.

But Liu Feng didn't care about this, after all, he and Cao Zhi had reached a gentleman's agreement, and Cao Zhi could also play a lot of roles in this process, and Liu Feng was not a person in Liu Bei's camp after all, and many matters could still be pushed to Zhuge Liang......

Liu Feng thought about it, the sky outside was already bright, the rooster was dawning, Sun Shangxiang just opened his sleepy eyes, and saw Liu Feng sitting on the edge of his bed in a neat manner, his eyes were obsessed, and his face suddenly showed a ruddyness, and Liu Feng had already noticed that Sun Shangxiang had woken up at this time, and without saying a word, he held it in his arms and spoiled it, and then let Sun Shangxiang, who had scattered temples, go to dress up.

After the two of them had some meals in the house, Liu Feng freshened up, went out and went straight to where Cao Zhi was, Liu Feng knew that last night with Pang Tong and Xu Shu discussed the strategy, and only with Cao Zhi's approval and cooperation could the disaster be channeled eastward, otherwise it would make Cao Cao hate Liu Feng, and the gains outweighed the losses.

This time Liu Feng came to see him, Cao Zhi's attitude towards him was obviously not as good as before, the expedition to the four counties, although Liu Feng deliberately blocked the news, Cao Zhi did not know before, but with Liu Feng's victory, all his soldiers knew at this time, Cao Zhi also knew after some inquiry, so he was able to reach an agreement with someone as talented as Liu Feng, Cao Zhi also figured out a lot in his heart, this time with the help of Liu Feng's momentum to return to Cao Cao's side, maybe regain some advantages in fighting with Cao Pi for Cao Cao's inheritance.

"Congratulations to General Ziwei, who won the land of the four southern counties of Jingzhou, plus the southern county, General Ziwei must have made a lot of contributions." As soon as Cao Zhi saw Liu Feng, he got up and bowed his hand, and congratulated him in his mouth, this time is different from the past, the greater Liu Feng's contribution in Liu Bei's army, the greater the support he would have rather fall into Liu Feng's hands this time than exchange Cao Cao for the support of Cao Cao's ministers.

"It's just a small achievement, it's not worth mentioning, Feng came this time, and it is also to congratulate Zijian Gongzi, according to the battle between Prime Minister Cao Cheng and my Sun Liu Alliance in front of the battle, the day Zijian Gongzi returns to Xuchang, I'm afraid it is getting closer and closer." Liu Feng smiled indifferently and returned a salute to Cao Zhi, but then changed to a look of embarrassment.

Cao Zhi saw it in his eyes, knowing that Liu Feng was in trouble, that is, how to send him back to Cao Cao's side safely, but he did not teach Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei to be very suspicious, Liu Bei put Cao Zhi on Liu Feng's side in Jiangling at this time, because Liu Feng had few soldiers stationed in Nanjun before, and in order to prevent Cao Cao's army from directly concentrating troops to break Nanjun in anger, Cao Zhi was used to blackmail Cao Cao.

But if the war is coming to an end, and there is no way to send Cao Zhi back to Cao Cao's camp, it is very likely that the night will be long and dreamy, and once Zhuge Liang has free his hand to send someone to ask Cao Zhi, it will be too late.

"Could it be that Uncle Liu Huang and that Zhuge Liang have already asked General Ziwei to send Zhi to Xiakou?" Cao Zhi thought of this layer in his heart, and he couldn't stop beating wildly, and hurriedly asked.

Hearing this, Liu Feng hurriedly waved his hand, sighed and said: "The situation is not so urgent, but there is a difficulty that can be expected, so Feng came here to discuss with Zijian Gongzi, if Zijian Gongzi can help Feng a hand, it will definitely return a lot in the future, if Zijian Gongzi can not help, it is okay, Feng will risk death in a few days to send Zijian Gongzi to General Cao Ren in front of the battle, and it is also possible to ensure that Zijian Gongzi is safe!" ”

When Cao Zhi heard this, his brows were furrowed, Liu Feng saw it in his eyes, his face remained unchanged, but he secretly had some joy in his heart, with his understanding of Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi was an idealist, if Cao Zhi felt that he owed Liu Feng, Cao Zhi would definitely not like it in his heart, sure enough, as soon as Liu Feng thought of this, Cao Zhi opened his mouth.

"General Ziwei doesn't have to be like this, if the general wants to hand over Zhi to Uncle Liu Huang, he should make a very outstanding contribution, and if General Ziwei is very difficult, just say that since Zhi has reached a gentleman's agreement with the general a few days ago, what can he do if he is in prison?"

Liu Feng came here, for the natural reason for Cao Zhi's attitude, heard the words and said slowly: "Zhou Yu was trapped in Hefei by Zhang Liao under the command of Prime Minister Cao Cheng at this time, and the Xiahou brothers can't help Zhuge Liang, so Zhuge Liang now intends to seize Xiangyang, and he understands Prime Minister Cao Cheng according to Feng, I am afraid that Prime Minister Cao Cheng will not willingly abandon Xiangyang, and he will not be able to attack it, I am afraid that Zhuge Liang will hit Zijian with his idea." ”

Liu Feng's words are not fabricated out of thin air, Zhuge Liang wants to seize the heart of Xiangyang, which has been undoubtedly revealed at this time, and Cao Cao personally fortified in Xiangyang, with Liu Bei's tens of thousands of horses, most of the strong attacks cannot be done, and the biggest trump card in Liu Bei's hand is Cao Zhi.

"What should I do?"

"Zhuge Liang is ruthless, and after he is afraid that he used Zijian to get Xiangyang, he will harm Zijian...... Therefore, Feng Xin has a plan, if he can succeed, he can take a step ahead of Zhuge Liang and send Zijian back to Prime Minister Cao Cheng's side safely......"

When Cao Zhi heard this, his face suddenly became cloudy, he had obviously guessed what Liu Feng's plan was, but he also knew in his heart why Cao Cao sent almost a million troops to conquer Jingzhou and conquer Liu Bei, these months of hard work, if he really exchanged Xiangyang for Cao Zhi, even if it was all in vain, and what Cao Zhi was thinking at this time was actually whether Cao Cao could exchange him for an important town like Xiangyang, for the first time in his life, his status in Cao Cao's heart was shaken.
