Chapter 152: Changsha Secret Meeting
"Ziwei came this time, and made this blacksmith hammer with the power of leverage, it is really a timely rain, with this method, the 1,500 long knives and 1,500 short knives can be completed within a month!" Liu Feng was beside him, followed by Gan Ning, Xu Shu and Huang Zhong, Liu Feng at this time, naturally did not indulge in pleasure in the mansion, but galloped with Gan Ning in the starry night two days ago and arrived in Changsha.
Xu Shu was a little surprised that Liu Feng came, and after a secret conversation, he knew what had happened in these days, and Liu Bei sent a detailed work to Jiangling City to listen to this one, which showed that Liu Feng already had some suspicion of high merit, and after hearing these things, Xu Shu naturally knew why Liu Feng came, not trusted, if he did not leave a backhand, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As soon as Liu Feng arrived here, he first checked the progress of the 100 steel knives, and most of the raw materials were already prepared under Xu Shu's efforts, so what Liu Feng saw was that those blacksmiths were sweating day and night, but the progress was still slow.
Because of this, Liu Feng had a flash of inspiration to invent this method of replacing artificial labor with the power of leverage, and today the test has just been successful, which really greatly increased the forging speed, so that Xu Shu is also convinced.
After confirming this matter, everyone went out of this forging place, and came to a courtyard that Xu Shu specially placed in the suburbs of Linxiang City, before coming here, Liu Feng specially discussed with Pang Tong for a long time, not only this forging blade, but also many things planned before, as Liu Bei became wary of Liu Feng, all of them had to speed up the progress and go hand in hand, and this is the most important thing, one is to secretly hoard troops in case of emergency, and the other is the land that Liu Feng submitted to the state before, whether he can reach an agreement with Shixie in these months, is the top priority.
After Liu Feng put forward these two things, Huang Zhong was the first to open his mouth, saying that there were more than 8,000 defenders in Changsha County, and the two reported Liu Bei 5,000 after discussion, and the remaining 3,000 elite soldiers tempered by Huang Zhong were placed in the dark and strictly trained.
"What's wrong with Koto recently?" Liu Feng was busy with other things these days, and he wanted to keep a low profile first, so he didn't pay attention to Jiangdong's affairs, and handed over the responsibility of monitoring Jiangdong to Xu Shu.
"Zhou Yu and Zhang Liao fought in Hefei, and learned that our army took the opportunity to take these many counties and counties, and thought that they were also furious in their hearts, and they had withdrawn their troops back to Chaisang, but according to Shu's opinion, Sun Quan had regretted most of the alliance with Uncle Huang, and Jingzhou was occupied by Uncle Liu, and Sun Quan would not be willing, the day before yesterday, I heard that Sun Quan sent Lu Su as a messenger, and I was afraid that he would rush to Xiangyang to meet Uncle Liu Huang in the next two days to discuss the ownership of the counties in Jingzhou."
Xu Shu obviously has a very thorough grasp of Jiangdong's affairs, which makes Liu Feng very admired in his heart, one person has several responsibilities here, but Xu Shu handles all of them in an orderly manner, this is Xu Shu's ability, in terms of strategy, it may be a step worse than Zhuge Liang, but when it comes to governing a city and a county, Xu Shu is not much stronger than Zhuge Liang and other people who can only sit in the tent.
"Lu Su this person, it is obviously difficult to fight for a bit of truth in Zhuge Liang's mouth, this matter is not bothering us, but Jiangdong failed to get half an inch of land in Jingzhou this time, and acted as the vanguard responsibility for our army, and taught his father to get the benefit of the fisherman in vain, Zhou Yu thought about it and was very ......indignant in his heart."
Liu Feng said this, but he thought in his heart that Zhou Yu failed to get the land of Jingzhou this time, and his plan for the western expedition was obviously unable to be implemented, and as far as he knew in his previous life, Zhou Yu asked Sun Quan for an expedition to Yizhou after winning the Battle of Chibi, but died mysteriously on the way, and now, the situation has changed, and Zhou Yu's life will change accordingly......
Liu Feng was thinking about this in his heart, but Xu Shu said: "Zhou Yu is not only indignant this time, it is rumored that after Zhou Yu returned to Chaisang, Sun Quan was very angry because Tai Shici died in this battle, and directly unloaded Zhou Yu's military power, and temporarily handed it over to Lu Su to take him, Zhou Yu went directly with his sleeves, and then said that he was not sick at home, and this matter has been spread in Jiangdong in the past two days. Don't wait for Lu Su to arrive in Xiangyang, I'm afraid that Uncle Huang and Zhuge Liang will learn about it, Lu Su led the troops, Zhuge Liang will definitely not be afraid, he wants to win some counties with the advantage of his tongue, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”
Xu Shu's remarks had already analyzed the situation very clearly, Liu Feng listened, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he asked quietly: "Yuan Zhi thinks, what should Zhou Yu feel in his heart at this time?" ”
Xu Shu also raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Ziwei is not thinking about it...... With all due respect, Zhou Yu's plans are very big, and I am afraid that very people can control them, and he has made a lot of friends as early as Danyang and Shouchun, even if it is Sun Quan, he does not dare to blatantly do anything to him in Jiangdong. ”
"Yuan Zhi is too worried, Zhou Yu's wolf ambitions, naturally he can't be taken under his command, but I see that there are many inconsistencies between him and Sun Quan, and it is not as important as under Sun Ce, this situation has been in this situation for several years, Zhou Yu is still in the prime of life, how can he be willing to do so, I will write this matter down for the time being, if I have the opportunity, how can I know that I can't cooperate with Zhou Yu to help him realize his ambitions?"
Xu Shu only knew what Liu Feng was thinking at this time, Zhou Yu was to Sun Quan, there was already a gap in his heart, if he wanted to restore the original, it was obviously very difficult, and Zhou Yu had great talent, if Liu Feng separated Zhou Yu and Sun Quan, and lured him with major interests, he would become a co-indulgent phase, once Liu Feng had a heart, Zhou Yu was intentional, the two could join forces to break away from Liu Bei and Sun Quan, each set up their own doors, and acted into a state of interdependence, and at the same time, it was equivalent to breaking Liu Bei and Sun Quan's arms.
"You can know this matter in your heart, now is not the time, all the preparations we have made are just in case, if the father can treat each other as father and son, Feng will also treat him as father and son, if not, then do this self-preservation policy......"
When Liu Feng saw Xu Shu, his face was excited, and he was about to open his mouth, and hurriedly spoke to stop it.
When Xu Shu heard this, he knew Liu Feng's thoughts, Liu Feng's young heart, naturally he wanted to be loyal and righteous, but in the troubled times, his father and son, his brother and brother still killed each other, Liu Feng wanted to get a name of loyalty and righteousness in Liu Bei, and Xu Shu knew that it was almost impossible.
But Xu Shu naturally couldn't spoil Liu Feng's wishes, how could he not know that the reason why Liu Feng came to urge those hundred steel swords and conscription this time was because the army found Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's spies one after another, and the loyalty in Liu Feng's heart had already been shaken.
