Chapter 13 Liu Feng's Choice
Liu Feng's choice
Liu Feng saw Zhuge Qiao come out to stop him, and stared at Zhuge Qiao with an expression of disbelief; It seems to be saying, 'I just said that I had to take Mengda's head to see the king of Hanzhong, but now why is he coming to intercede for Mengda's messenger'
Zhuge Qiao saw Liu Feng's expression and knew what he was thinking, so he glanced at Liu Feng and then stared at the messenger;
"You two go out first," Liu Feng pointed to the two soldiers who had just come in;
"General, I think this matter can be considered," Zhuge Qiao saw that the two soldiers went out.
"This general is very right, in fact, General Meng Da is also thinking about General Liu," the messenger also hurriedly echoed.
"Let me betray my King of Hanzhong, it's impossible to kill me," Liu Feng said very excitedly.
"If your father wants to kill you, will you still work for him" Zhuge Qiao suddenly said ruthlessly, and secretly winked at Liu Feng.
"You don't want to talk nonsense, how can my father harm me" Liu Feng immediately understood what Zhuge Qiao meant.
"Why did your father-in-law transfer you to Mianzhu, and why did he only let you bring less than 10,000 people to quell the rebellion; It's not that I want you to go back to Chengdu after defeat and find an excuse to hurt you," Zhuge Qiao continued
"He won't hurt me, I'm his son"
"The general will harm you because you are his adopted son, because he is afraid that you will rob him of his own son's status as the son," the messenger continued to remind
"My stepfather, he is not such a person, he can't do this"
"The reason why your father-in-law did this, in fact, there is one of the biggest reasons, that is, he didn't save Guan Yu, the world knows that Liu Bei is angry, how can he let you go" The more the envoy spoke, the more energetic he became.
Under Zhuge Qiao's hint, Liu Feng didn't say a word now, but stood there with his eyes closed and pondered; made a helpless expression.
"The general can think about it carefully, if you continue to attack Xiangyang, it will definitely be fruitless, but it will have very serious consequences; If you take refuge in us, you can continue to garrison Xiangyang and Shangyong with Meng Da, and the glory and wealth after that will be inexhaustible, and the general can carefully consider "The envoy once again exerted his talent for eloquence.
"General, let's surrender, we really can't go back in Sichuan," Zhuge Qiao also persuaded
Liu Feng is struggling hard; Looking at Liu Feng's struggling expression, the envoy knew that he was about to succeed, and he was a little excited to think that he would be rewarded if he went back.
Liu Feng thought about it for a while, "Okay! I have thought about it, I am willing to obey you, but I don't want to guard the border of the King of Hanzhong in the future, I don't want to be the enemy of my father-in-law" Liu Feng replied without strength
"There's no problem with this, it's just that I don't know when the general will come," the messenger asked with satisfaction
"It's okay in three days, because I have to send someone to Mianzhu to pick up my family, and I also have to appease the army, because the soldiers here have my father-in-law's cronies," Liu Feng said helplessly.
The envoy saw that Liu Feng wanted to pick up his family, and knew that Liu Feng must be sincere in surrendering, "General Liu can prepare here, I will go and tell General Meng Da the news first"
Liu Feng gave my envoy a look: "That's offended; Someone came to expel him from the camp, if it weren't for the sake of the two armies not beheading the envoys, I would have to behead you," Liu Feng shouted angrily.
The messenger also cooperated and left with the soldiers.
"Bo Song, do you have any plans" After the envoy left, Liu Feng hurriedly asked Zhuge Qiao.
"There is a plan to behead Mengda, as long as you surrender, because you yourself have many reasons to surrender; As long as you are acting like Meng Da, you will definitely not doubt it, and when the time comes, take Meng Da's head in Xiangyang City while he is careless, and then arrange someone to answer it, then the big thing has been accomplished."
"What should we do if we are found out"
"It's not as good as a tiger's den, but a tiger; I believe that Brother Liu still has the courage to do this, and I will go with you when the time comes, and Meng Da doesn't know me."
"You underestimate me too much, I never lack courage, but I can't afford it if you go wrong."
"I said that if I can't get into the tiger's den, how can I retreat; It's just that our biggest opponent is not Meng Da, but the Shen brothers in the city."
"What do they have to worry about, could it be that they will stick a knife in their backs"
"Brother Liu, do you know that the relationship between the Shen brothers and Meng Da, if it is not good, Meng Da was persuaded by them to surrender, these days I have been sneaking into the city to listen to the news, and sure enough, I found that they have a lot to do with Meng Da, and the two of them will definitely surrender at that time, so we must strike first."
"What do you mean?"
"Now the two brothers, the judge is the upper and the brave, and the judge is the new city too shou; If there is a rebellion, the southeast barrier of Hanzhong will be lost, and Brother Liu will also be affected, we still have three days to go, and we will march to Shangyong now; Now that Juan Tan doesn't dare not open the city gate for us, and he doesn't know our plan, we can take the opportunity to cut Juan Tan and block the whole city before going to Xiangyang; The only thing we can't do is that we can't divide our troops, so there is no way for Xincheng County to take it back."
"I have a way to do this, when I used to be the deputy general here, there was a friend in Xincheng, and now he is serving in the Xincheng army, he is what I pulled up and should be reliable, I will write to him now to pay attention to the etiquette, prepare his own troops in the city, and when we come back from Xiangyang, we will lead the troops to cooperate with the outside world, and Xincheng is not in our hands."
"It's a good idea, and it's only a matter of trying."
"Why don't we go to Shangyong first and then go to Xincheng, won't it solve the problem?"
"Brother Liu doesn't know, now Meng Da must have a connection with the Shen brothers, if we go to Shangyong and then go to Xincheng, we won't be able to keep up, if Xiangyang notices, our plan will be over."
"I'll repair a book, and I'll go to Shangyong immediately," Liu Feng hurriedly began to write letters to old friends in Xincheng; Zhuge Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now the situation is still under control.
On the afternoon of the second day, outside Shangyong City.
"General Liu, you're not going to attack Xiangyang, why did you suddenly come to Shang Yong" Juan Tan caught Liu Feng at the gate of the city.
"Waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Sichuan," Liu Feng said casually.
The judge responded; Liu Feng stationed his troops in the city, because the trial was not fully prepared, and if the trial was fully prepared, Liu Feng might not be able to enter the city gate; Therefore, Liu Feng had no choice but to bring all the troops into the city in case of accidents.
The next day: "Taishou, General Liu Feng invites everyone to go to the main hall to discuss the matter of sending troops," a small soldier who gave the order said.
"Well, come right away" I don't understand, isn't it waiting for reinforcements, why are we going to send troops now that the reinforcements have not arrived.
"Everyone is here, I am looking for you today to announce one thing, I will lead the army to fight tomorrow, but I have no way to fight Xiangyang City with more than 10,000 soldiers under my command, I hereby invite you to plan for me, and please tell me frankly" Liu Feng said humbly.
"I ask the king of Hanzhong to send more troops and horses," said a man dressed as a scribe below
"Five days ago, I received news that the king of Hanzhong sent another 10,000 elite soldiers with me, but yesterday I received news that the king of Hanzhong canceled the reinforcements because he had to prepare to attack Wu, but Xiangyang still had to attack, this is an order!"
"Then why don't you tell the truth," said another man
"I didn't save General Guan Er in the battle of Jingzhou, how could the king of Hanzhong understand me with a grudge, don't say send reinforcements" Liu Feng said with a helpless expression.
"So there is no way back for me, I plan to take a third path"
