Generals who are familiar with Liu Feng know that Liu Feng will set up a banquet after every big victory to commend those soldiers who have performed well in previous battles, but at the banquet, Liu Feng often substitutes water for wine in order to keep his mind clear.

And the reason why Liu Feng kept his head clear, everyone had already known it, that is, after the banquet, he took advantage of the fact that all his core think tanks were there to hold a round table meeting attended by Liu Feng and the people he absolutely trusted to discuss the next development plan.

This time, naturally, it was no exception, after the banquet was halfway through, under Liu Feng's instructions, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Li Chuang, and Deng Ai, who participated in such an occasion for the first time, arrived in a side hall of Liu Feng, and everyone did it in order, waiting for Liu Feng's speech.

Except for Deng Ai, who drank a few glasses of wine because he didn't know that there would be such a link before, which caused his face to be a little ruddy, the rest of the people all looked calm, obviously knowing that the banquet was not the focus of today, and the focus of today was just coming.

At this time, Deng Ai's heartbeat could even be felt by Wei Yan, who was sitting and beside him, Deng Ai knew that because of his successful defense in Wancheng, Liu Feng had naturally included him in the inner circle, although Deng Ai's official position at this time was still only a Zhonglang general, and it was more than a little worse than the others sitting there, but he didn't care at all, what he valued was how much Liu Feng valued him, not the size of the official position that was meaningless to him.

After a while, Liu Feng, who had already changed into civilian clothes, walked quickly to his position, which was not as high as the throne in his main hall, Liu Feng was unwilling to sit in the position that Pang Tong and Xu Shu and others had painstakingly hired many craftsmen to build.

Although it symbolizes the supreme imperial power, in Liu Feng's eyes, it is cold and unwarm, what he likes is to sit opposite his comrades-in-arms like this, and only in this way can they really speak freely in front of themselves, and they will not hide themselves because of the so-called monarchs and ministers.

It was already dark outside the window, and Liu Feng didn't want to waste time on useless words, so as soon as he sat down, he spoke: "Now that Sima Yi and Cao Zhang have been repelled by us, with Cao Zhi's temperament, in the short term, there should be no more attacks on the scale of my Han organization before. ”

In a word, the theme to be studied today is clear, although Liu Feng did not say so bluntly, but everyone here knows what Liu Feng refers to, that is, how to develop in order to destroy Wei and Jiangdong faster, and truly unify the Central Plains, and only then can the Han in Liu Feng's hands be called the real Han, and only two or three states in his hands will be called the emperor, and there is indeed a big gap between the strength and the real emperor.

Everyone glanced at each other, and then Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Since Shi Zai is the first time to discuss with us and others, and Shi Zai's teacher Yuan Zhi failed to arrive in Xiangyang, let Shi Zai talk about it first!" ”

Obviously, Zhou Yu is giving Deng Ai a chance to perform, at this time, several people in the house, no matter which one can be called Deng Ai's predecessors, so once other people, especially Pang Tong and Zhou Yu, speak first, I am afraid that there will be no chance for Deng Ai to speak, although even if you just listen to it, you can gain a lot, but for Deng Ai at this stage, it is best for his development to express his opinions in front of everyone, especially Liu Feng.

Deng Ai glanced at Zhou Yu gratefully when he heard this, and then cleared his voice vigorously, he knew that he must not stutter on such an occasion, not to mention the question raised by Liu Feng, when he was alone in Wancheng, he had already thought about it repeatedly, and let him say it at this time, it was just a matter of course, and he didn't even need to reorganize the language.

"Ai thinks that this time Sima Yi and Cao Zhang's more than 200,000 troops were defeated, so that they had to return to Wei, coupled with the last big victory over Yang Xiu, Cao Zhi should not send troops to attack my Jingzhou in a short time, it is a good opportunity for my Jingzhou to recover its vitality, but after all, Wei is a large country and a large population, and the recovery will definitely be faster than our dynasty, so our dynasty wants to override the Wei state, I am afraid that we have to think of some other way."

Speaking of this, Wei Yan let out a sigh of relief, obviously saying this requires a great deal of courage.

"What else can I think of, just talk about it?" Deng Ai's half-said words obviously aroused Liu Feng's interest, Liu Feng's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice.

"First of all, our army has obtained large siege equipment and this intact thunderbolt from the Wei army, which is a great help, the main states and counties of Wei are all located in the north, and most of them are plains, these instruments are used to attack Wei, so that they can exert the greatest power, and it is the main thing that our army should rely on. In addition, when I was defending Wancheng, I sent scouts to check whether there were any enemy ambushes with the map I had drawn earlier, and although I could not find the ambushes, I found some other discoveries, and I was looking for an opportunity to inform Your Majesty. ”

After Deng Ai said this, he looked at Liu Feng again, obviously asking if he should speak, seeing Liu Feng bowing slightly, he continued to speak, and by this time, Deng Ai no longer had a trace of nervousness, and the coherence became clearer.

"In the easterly position on the outskirts of Wancheng, we found traces of an ambush by about 10,000 sergeants, and these sergeants did not continue to approach Wancheng, but made a detour to the outskirts of Xiangyang, and then disappeared...... Ai thought it was ...... These sergeants were sent by Koto. ”

After saying this sentence, everyone's expressions, including Liu Feng, all changed, and their forces were really stretched thin when they were fighting with Sima Yi and Cao Zhang, so they had to choose the method of concentrating superior forces to deal with Sima Yi, in this case, the reconnaissance of the suburbs of each city naturally stopped, but they didn't want Deng Ai to still have these discoveries.

After saying this, Deng Ai stopped his words in a timely manner, as for why Jiangdong soldiers and horses, what are they doing here, although Deng Ai also has some ideas in his heart, but he knows that he can't dominate in such a scene, not to mention that there are many ideas that he has not decided, at this time he wants to listen to Zhou Yu and Pang Tong's opinions, so this matter, Deng Ai regarded it as a move to throw bricks and lead jade.
