Chapter 434: Fulfilling Promises

As Liu Feng expected before, as soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a controversy in the court, and many local courtiers in Yizhou scrambled to express their opinions, and what they wanted to say, Liu Feng had long known in his heart that he wanted to persuade him to dispel this idea.

Liu Feng can also understand their thoughts, after all, many people have lived in Chengdu for generations and have taken root here. It is understandable that they were able to move to Xiangyang, which is not very close to Chengdu, and Chengdu and Xiangyang belong to two states, which made it difficult for them to adapt for a while.

But having said that, Liu Feng knew what he would do to himself or the prefectures he ruled by sacking Liu Xie from Luoyang and releasing the news that Liu Xie had been killed under Cao Zhi's guard, especially when he learned that Yang Xiu, who was powerful in Wei, had just seized his Liangzhou with Xu Huang with little effort.

Obviously, the reason why Cao Zhi sent Yang Xiu as the commander to conquer Liangzhou was to strengthen the confidence of Wei **shi and even Yang Xiu himself, so that he could provoke the Liang of Wei and get rid of his dependence on Sima Yi since he became the lord of Wei.

But Liu Feng came to such a play when Yang Xiu went on the expedition, which obviously would completely dilute the small victory of seeking Liangzhou, and what was currently being discussed in Wei must be that Liu Xie's trump card was gone, not how powerful Yang Xiu was, and he recaptured Liangzhou, which had been lost for a long time, in a few days.

The result was naturally the anger of Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu, so as soon as Liu Feng heard this, he had already decided that Cao Zhi's large-scale attack was inevitable, and according to Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu's temperament, they must choose the most able way to win the support of the people for them, that is naturally to send troops from Luoyang, blood for blood, tooth for tooth, to take back the Nanyang that had just been lost, and then take advantage of the situation to capture Xiangyang, which was captured by Liu Feng before, and even directly attack the hinterland of Jingzhou, and only in this way can Cao Zhi's hatred be relieved. Of course, sending troops to attack Hanzhong is not a bad way, but Liu Feng believes that Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu will never choose Hanzhong, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in that case, not only will they not get a little cheap, but they will even fall into a greater crisis.

In this context, it was obviously not something that Liu Feng's temperament could do to give up Nanyang, and he made a decision almost instantly, not only to hold on to every inch of Jingzhou, but also to move the center of his political power closer to the center of the Central Plains, and to be more able to perceive the changes of the other two forces, Xiangyang.

In the end, on top of the court this time, the only concession Liu Feng made was that within three days, these officials who needed to go to Xiangyang could go into battle lightly, and then the officials' families would be personally escorted by Fei Yuwei, and all of them would be escorted to Xiangyang to reunite with them within a month, and in Xiangyang, where there are now some wastes to be revived, Liu Feng allowed some officials to let their families at home engage in some business projects, so as to expand their income and help them better integrate into the life of Xiangyang. That can only be punished by recall.

Liu Feng's toughness, these courtiers under his command are naturally clear, seeing that this matter has been closed, people no longer talk about it, at most they can only sigh slightly. But in Liu Feng's view, these conservative-minded courtiers will definitely praise the decision they made today in a few years, the prosperity of Xiangyang is not comparable to Yizhou, no matter how good Yizhou is, it is just a somewhat remote place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the contact with the Central Plains is much less than Xiangyang.

After announcing the matter, Liu Feng immediately dispersed the court, and asked those courtiers to go home and prepare, this is not a trivial matter after all, Liu Feng believes that even if he gives them three days, some people with a huge network will be difficult to explain the matter for a while.

After announcing this matter, Liu Feng returned to the mansion, because there was another person in the mansion who he needed to settle down this time, and this person was naturally Liu Xie.

When Liu Feng returned to the mansion, his mansion was already in full swing, unlike those who were born and raised in Yizhou, Sun Shangxiang and Meng Yao were very excited when they heard the news that Liu Feng was going to move the center of gravity of his power to Xiangyang, Sun Shangxiang is a native of Jiangdong, and Jingzhou is very close to Jiangdong because of its close proximity to Jiangdong, so it can be regarded as half of Sun Shangxiang's hometown, and before going to Chengdu, she and Meng Yao have been in Jiangling. And Meng Yao has been active in Jingzhou in the early years, so returning to Jingzhou, in the hearts of the two of them, it was like going home, after learning about it last night, the two couldn't sleep all night, Liu Feng just went out in the morning, they couldn't wait to pack up.

Liu Fenghe, who was busy with his second daughter, informed him, and walked to his back garden, where Liu Xie was placed in a guest room in the garden last night.

As soon as he walked into the back garden, Liu Feng saw that Liu Xie was slowly pacing in Liu Feng's huge garden with his hands behind his back, and the expression on his face was different from when he first met Liu Xie that day.

Seeing that Liu Feng had arrived here, Liu Xie hurriedly walked over and couldn't wait to say to Liu Feng: "The general said before that he could give me freedom, but today he is here to honor this matter?" ”

At this time, Liu Xie did not care about his identity as the emperor of the Han Dynasty at all, and only thought about the freedom that Liu Feng promised him, he believed that since Liu Feng did not give up on him at such a crisis moment outside Luoyang City, then what he said would definitely become a reality, not to mention that he knew that this was Yizhou, Liu Feng's territory, and impregnable, here, he would never be discovered by Cao Zhi and captured back to Luoyang.

"I'm here for this today, but I don't know if you can bear it if the environment is a little more difficult?"

What Liu Feng didn't expect was that Liu Xie didn't say a word after hearing this, and nodded hurriedly: "If you have a free body, coarse tea and light rice are enough!" ”

After hearing this, Liu Feng shook his head helplessly, Liu Xie's obsession with freedom really moved him, this person who became a victim of the struggle between princes when he was young has already looked down on power......

"The hardships in my mouth are not coarse tea and light rice, I don't know if you have ever heard of the land of Nanzhong?" Liu Feng raised his head and asked. He knew that Liu Xie's identity was too special, and although his actions were all done in secret, he still had to be careful.
