Chapter 73: Judgment

When Liu Bei saw Liu Feng for the first time, he couldn't help but praise Liu Feng for his role as the main general to break Cao Cao, who was the arrogant Guan Yu before, so he led the army to kill Liu Feng on his side, and after returning, he also praised Liu Feng's ability to command the army.

After another feast, Liu Bei led Liu Feng into his temporary residence in Exian County, at this time there were only father and son, Liu Bei sat in front of Liu Cover, his face was very strict, Liu Feng knew at a glance that Liu Bei saw that the Sun Liu Alliance had some chance of winning against Cao Cao, and at this moment he returned to Fankou, most likely to take the opportunity to understand the situation in Jiangdong in order to prepare for the aftermath.

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Feng thought of this, Liu Bei asked: "Ziwei has been in Zhou Yu's camp for some time, I don't know what Ziwei thinks, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, what are they trying to do, if I want to take Jingxiang Nine Counties after the war, then how will Sun Quan and Zhou Yu deal with it?" ”

For Liu Feng, Liu Bei naturally does not plan to hide, he is already forty-seven years old at this time, but there is no place to have a foundation, as he grows older, Liu Bei's heart to fight for land becomes stronger and stronger, before taking into account the friendship between him and Liu Biao, several opportunities, failed to seize Jingzhou, and finally Cai Mao was dedicated to Cao Cao, so Liu Bei has already made up his mind, this time he retired from Cao Cao, he must take Jingzhou, and then make plans, otherwise Zhuge Liang proposed in Nanyang to divide the world's strategy, he will not be able to achieve it in his lifetime, Therefore, even if Zhuge Liang went to Zhou Yu this time, he had the purpose of inquiring.

Liu Bei Zhengse asked, Liu Feng naturally couldn't face it vaguely, he put away his smile at the moment, thought about it in his mind a little, and replied: "According to Feng's secret speculation, that Zhou Yu may have already had the heart to seize Jingzhou, I look at this person, he is a wise and foolish person, he has already had a ravine in his heart, and his plan is very big......"

As early as in the previous life, Liu Feng knew that Zhou Yu had a grand plan in his heart, that is, he first took Jingzhou, and then conquered the land of Yizhou Bashu in the west, and then formed an alliance with the Xiliang Ma clan, and formed a north-south confrontation with Cao Cao.

After several mutual tests before, Liu Feng was almost certain in his heart that Zhou Yu had a strong desire for Jingzhou, and once Cao Cao retreated, he would not let Liu Bei get the land of Jingzhou as he wished.

"Oh? How can Ziwei see this, and what does Sun Quan mean? Liu Bei is not a stupid person, did he say anything before, the people who asked were Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, but Liu Feng only mentioned Zhou Yu and did not mention Sun Quan, which couldn't help but make Liu Bei also have some doubts.

"Father must not be anxious, according to the observation of these days, there may be some mutual suspicion between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and it is not known, so Zhou Yu has this idea, but Sun Quan may not agree to Zhou Yu's statement, because of this, Zhou Yu is eager to lead the battle of this joint father to resist Cao Cao, intending to make a name for himself and teach Sun Quan to compromise."

Liu Feng's words became more and more mysterious, that is, Zhuge Liang analyzed the situation in Jiangdong many times, but he failed to say such profound words, so Liu Bei categorically did not dare to take it seriously immediately, and said with a shocked face: "Ziwei's words are really a bit alarmist, Zhou Yu is the governor of Jiangdong, Sun Quan has special trust in him, and the troops and generals he leads are all under his full control, how can he have mutual suspicion with Sun Quan?" ”

"When he was sealed in Zhou Yu's village, he asked about it by knocking on the side, and later he was confirmed by the Jiangdong generals, after his father decided to form an alliance with Sun Quan, Zhou Yu asked Sun Quan to invite the water army, which was 50,000, how to come, it could be far superior to our army in terms of numbers, once Cao Cao was defeated and retreated, he could also invade Jingzhou with absolute advantage, but Sun Quan somehow only had 30,000 with Zhou Yu, and only said that once the sergeant was not enough, Sun Quan personally led the troops to meet the enemy."

Liu Bei listened to this, his face was also condensed, obviously, this kind of thing was something that Liu Bei had not thought of when he analyzed it with Zhuge Liang before, and it was also a secret matter in Jiangdong, but he didn't want to be so clearly explored by Liu Feng in just a few days.

"According to my pre-speculation with the military advisor, the elite naval army in Sun Quan's hands is only seventy or eighty thousand in total, if it is with Zhou Yu 50,000, it will indeed cause Sun Quan's troops to be empty, and the six counties in Jiangdong are not firmly controlled by Sun Quan, so it is only 30,000 with Zhou Yu, but it is understandable, what other news does Ziwei have?"

Liu Bei silently recorded this matter in his heart, but did not delve into it with Liu Feng here, although Sun Quan did not give Zhou Yu 50,000 numbers, but they were all elite soldiers, with heavy grain and grass, and there was no difference, so Liu Bei was not completely sure about this.

What Liu Feng said before just made Liu Bei know in his heart, they were temporarily living on the border of Jiangdong at this time, even if they learned that there was some internal discord, they could not set off a storm immediately.

"I look at Sun Quan, but he disdains people who are conspiratorial and intriguing, and he acts quite uprightly, if his father meets him in the future, he can only talk about the plight of our army, and Sun Quan will not be able to pull down his face and refuse resolutely."

Liu Bei listened to what Liu Feng said, nodded yes, and kept all these things in mind, in case of emergency, Liu Feng's words were finished, Liu Bei's heart moved, and he thought of one thing again: "I don't know if Ziwei and Zhou Yu have a plan for Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao has been training the navy on the north bank at this time, according to the words of the military advisor, there will be achievements in less than half a month, and our army can't just wait passively." ”

Liu Feng's eyes flashed at this time, and he just said with a smile: "In the previous battle, I just rubbed the sharpness of Cao Cao's front slightly, if I really want to fight a decisive battle, it is okay to kill the enemy in battle, then the matter of strategizing will be handed over to the military advisor and that Zhou Gongjin, if nothing major happens, Feng will stay by his father's side, once the war happens, he can also protect one or two!" ”

Liu Bei saw that Liu Feng was not fighting for merit, and he was very relieved in his heart, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, and sent someone to take Liu Feng into the Exian house to rest.

Since arriving in Exian County, Liu Feng has only rested here every day, only occasionally recruiting Wei Yan and Li Chuang, and the two only stayed for a moment before leaving in a hurry. Only Meng Yao was by Liu Feng's side, for four or five days, no one disturbed, Liu Feng only studied the war book with Meng Yao, and simulated drills on paper, and the two of them were actually happy.

So on the sixth day, Liu Bei suddenly summoned Liu Feng to see him, and when Liu Feng appeared in front of Liu Bei in surprise, he saw Zhuge Liang standing beside Liu Bei with a gloomy face, looking at Liu Feng, and his eyes were not good.

"Why did the advisor come back? Could it be that Cao Cao's army retreated on its own? Liu Feng asked in surprise.

"Not only has Cao's army not retreated, but his naval army is about to be trained!" Zhuge Liang replied sharply.

"Then why did the military advisor return?"
