Chapter 313: Liu Feng's Death

84_84334The news of the loss of stability soon spread to Chang'an.

Liu Bei didn't expect that it would not be difficult for Hao Zhao to defend it at all, and that Liu Feng would lead an army of 30,000 to support it, and to defend three times his own strength with an army of 60,000, it would not be difficult for Hao Zhao at all, but this time it ended in failure, and the army was defeated so quickly, so miserably!

Hao Zhao surrendered, only 20,000 of the 60,000 army remained, Wushi and Linjing counties were lost one after another, and the speed was so fast that he didn't have time to send reinforcements, such a blow simply made Liu Bei's mood drop to the freezing point, his face twitched, his teeth gritted loudly, and a pair of big ears couldn't help beating lightly.

"Say! What the hell is going on? Hao Zhao well, why did he surrender? Liu Bei's voice sank like water, and he asked the sergeant who came to report the news.

Looking at Liu Bei's murderous gaze, the sergeant knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Liu Bei would definitely dismantle him without hesitation, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Qi Qi Qin Gong, this qiē is related to the eldest prince, as soon as he came to Wushi City, he fell into Liu Qi's divisive plan, and suspected that General Hao was coming, but because of his suspicions, General Hao had to surrender. As a result, he fell for Liu Qi's plan again, and picked up General Hao's letter of persuasion to Zhao Ang and Yin Feng, the generals under his command, in the city, and decided to kill the second general, but he didn't expect the news to leak, the second general Kaicheng surrendered, and the director Zhan Wu was lost. ”

"Hmph, even if the Wu clan is lost, what about Linjing? Why did it fall so quickly? Is it also because of the betrayal of the soldiers? Liu Bei's eyes were red, and he asked in a deep voice.

"No, the main reason for Linjing's loss is that as soon as the eldest prince returned to the city, he ordered to shoot the soldiers of our army under the city, and as a result, he lost the morale of the army. Later, Huang Zhong ordered the siege of the city, and the soldiers did not need to die, and Huang Zhong's army lightly attacked the city. Seeing that the general trend had gone, the eldest prince led his army to abandon Linjing. Come to Qi County to garrison ......"

"What did you say?" Liu Bei couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "This beast actually ordered to shoot our soldiers? ”

When the sergeant saw Liu Bei's gritted teeth, he couldn't help but be frightened, cold sweat broke out, and he kowtowed again and again: "The last general doesn't dare to say half a lie, and I ask Duke Qin to take a clear look." ”

Liu Bei thought about it for a while, then ordered the sergeant to retreat, and then called Zhuge Liang. He retired from the attendants, told Zhuge Liang everything he had heard, and then asked for his opinion.

"Strategist, this beast didn't listen to my orders, he even suspected Hao Bodao without authorization, forced him to rebel, and then wantonly eliminated dissidents, and then later, this beast turned out to be crazy. Shooting and killing the sergeants under his command, the people's hearts are fluctuating, and the morale of the army is lost. In the end, stability was lost, and our army's efforts in the past five years were ruined. ”

"Ugh." I saw Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Lord, please forgive Liang for not noticing for a while, I didn't expect Liu Feng to be suspicious of the lord, so he wanted to follow Liu Qi's example, wanting to monopolize stability and protect himself." ”

"Huh? What does the military advisor mean? Liu Bei couldn't help but think of a possibility. His face changed, and then he said in a deep voice.

I saw Zhuge Liang nodded slowly. said softly: "This matter is obvious, it is clear that Liu Feng saw that the lord had a parent. The dream of the heir to the lord came to naught, and then he wanted to follow Liu Qi's example, preparing to accumulate strength, seize the position of heir, and sit on the foundation of the lord. ”

"How dare this beast?" Liu Bei couldn't help but be furious and asked in a deep voice.

But seeing Zhuge Liang sneered, he said: "Some people are like this, they can do whatever it takes for power, and even dare to kill their own brothers, let alone have such a relationship with the young master?" It's just that a beam-jumping clown like him is really ridiculous, do you think that the main guild is as confused as Liu Jingsheng and Yuan Benchu? ”

"So what are we going to do?" Liu Bei did not express his pride in Zhuge Liang's praise, but asked solemnly.

"Now it seems that there is only one way, that is, in the name of Liu Feng's disobedience to the orders of the lord, plotting to rebel, forcing Hao Zhao, and killing soldiers without permission, he will kill the rebel son, on the one hand, to calm the morale of the army, and on the other hand, to eliminate the root cause of the bane forever." Zhuge Liang's face sank like water, and he said lightly.

I saw Liu Bei hesitate slightly, and said with a soft sigh: "But this beast is my righteous son after all, and I have had a father-son relationship for many years, so I can't bear to kill it directly." ”

Zhuge Liang said categorically: "When you continue to suffer from its chaos, the lord, for the sake of the great cause, can not have the kindness of a woman, the lord doesn't see that King Zhao Wuling because he can't bear it in his heart, led the sand dune mutiny, died and the country declined, and the matter of the sons of Liu Biao and Yuan Shao in recent years?" ”

Liu Bei rubbed his temples and said bitterly, "Let me think again." ”

Two days later, Liu Bei issued an order for Liu Feng to lead his army back to Chang'an.

Liu Feng got the order, and he was ready to lead the army back, but he heard Zou Qi persuade: "The young master encountered this big defeat, and did not see the lord to punish him, there must be a problem, the lower official heard the rumors in the country, saying that the young master forced against Hao Zhao and arbitrarily slaughtered the sergeant of the army, and he had committed public anger, and the lower official was afraid that the young master would go to Chang'an, this time it would be more auspicious and less, according to the opinion of the lower official, we might as well raise an army to surrender to the Duke of Chu, or we can save our lives." ”

Liu Feng flatly refused: "No matter what, I am also the son of Duke Qin, looking at the father-son relationship between us for so many years, he won't care too much, right?" I don't ask for anything else, I just want to save my life, and then be an idle marquis, it's always okay. ”

After that, Liu Feng no longer listened to Zou Qi's persuasion and prepared to lead the army back to Chang'an.

Zou Qi knew that Liu Feng would not be able to survive, and he no longer persuaded him, so he packed his bags and fled to Linjing to join Liu Qi.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi shouted: "It's not enough for a traitorous villain like you to harm Liu Feng and Hao Zhao, do you want to make waves in our army?" Someone, push me down, beheaded. ”

Zou Qi recalled all the things he had done at the beginning, and couldn't help but be silent, and then he was pushed outside the gate and beheaded the order.

Liu Qi killed Zou Qi, came to see Hao Zhao with his head, and personally persuaded Hao Zhao to surrender, Hao Zhao saw that he had lost his stability, and he had no face to see Liu Bei again, and saw Liu Qi treat him so sincerely, he surrendered.

Liu Qi was overjoyed, and according to the letter he wrote to him, he was called Youfufeng, General Anhan, and Marquis of Shangqi. Of course, now that the right support has not yet arrived, Liu Qi ordered Hao Zhao to temporarily take the post of Anding Taishou, and lead the old department Jiang Yin, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng and others to garrison Linjing.

Later, Liu Qi wrote a letter to Liu Feng, who was about to leave for Chang'an, about to kill Zou Qi, and persuaded him to surrender to himself.

But Liu Feng resolutely refused, and then returned to Chang'an without hesitation.

Liu Bei saw that after Liu Feng returned to Chang'an, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, he immediately summoned Liu Feng, and then said sharply: "Rebel, are you guilty?" ”

Liu Feng lowered his head, knelt on the ground, and said softly: "The child is guilty." ”

"Do you know what you are guilty of?" Liu Bei's face sank like water, and he asked slowly.

Liu Feng sighed and said softly: "The child is not effective in fighting, he has lost his stability, and he is suspicious of the general, and the director Hao Zhao, Zhao Ang, Yin Feng and others defected to Liu Qi, and the child ordered the massacre of the generals and soldiers in the army, which had an extremely bad impact, and the child committed many crimes in this time in the army, and I implore my father to punish him." ”

I saw that Liu Bei's face softened, and he said softly: "Feng'er, it's not that my father doesn't want to forgive you, it's really that you have committed many crimes, and you can't even cover up Lone, otherwise, how can Lone serve the public in the future?" I have been thinking about you and my father and son for many years, not biological, better than biological, originally because my father had high hopes for you, so I sent you to lead the army to settle down, where did I think that you would commit so many serious crimes today, it is really heartbreaking to think about. ”

Liu Feng listened to Liu Bei's serious words, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and choked up and said: "It's all children who are unfilial and live up to their father's love." The child's arrogance and willfulness have brought such a heavy loss to my Daqin, and now I really regret it. ”

Liu Bei also burst into tears, and then said slowly: "Every qiē is fate, and I blame Gu for being too pampered and arrogant to you and neglecting your education." ”

Liu Bei wiped the tears on his face, and then asked: "Shang Shuling, according to the national law and military regulations, what punishment should Liu Feng be punished?" ”

Zhuge Liang's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Liu Feng lost his territory, was suspicious of the general, and later slaughtered the generals without authorization, the crime was extremely heinous, and he should be beheaded according to the law." ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and then said: "Kong Ming, Feng'er is a son, even if he commits a crime, he should not be punished by this great punishment, I implore Kong Ming to see Lone's face and reduce the punishment." ”

But he heard Zhuge Liang flatly refuse: "My lord, the punishment is the punishment of the world, not for one person, the prince violates the law, and he is still guilty of the same crime as the people, besides, Liu Feng is just a son?" If the lord wants the army and the people to fear the law and abide by discipline in the future, please fight Liu Feng, if you want the law to not work, the country is broken, please release Liu Feng. ”

I saw Liu Bei hiding his face and crying: "The relationship between me and Feng'er's father and son, but today the fate is over, how should I meet his biological father in the future?" ”

After that, he saw that Zhuge Liang ordered someone to help Liu Bei down, and then announced that Liu Feng would be beheaded, and he would be executed three days later.

Until this time, Liu Feng's heart sank completely, and he could naturally see that Liu Bei's intercession just now was actually a play between the two, and he was beheaded, and it must have been Liu Bei's determination to get rid of his own scourge, so as not to pose a threat to Liu Chan's future succession.

At this time, Liu Feng couldn't help but think of Liu Qi's advice to him at the beginning, as well as Zou Qi and Liu Qi's persuasion to surrender to him, and sighed: "I regret not listening to Liu Qi's persuasion, which caused this disaster." ”

Three days later, when Liu Feng was dragged out to be beheaded, it was found that he had already hanged himself, Liu Bei cried when he heard this, and posthumously presented Si Lixiao, Luo Hou, and Zhendong generals, so that he entered the genealogy of the Liu family, but there are also rumors that Liu Feng died mysteriously, not because he hanged himself, but because some people were afraid that he would talk nonsense before he died, and he was secretly executed......
