On a drizzly morning, Liu Feng rode out of the east gate quietly, the terrain in that area was slightly higher, and the flood water was only a few feet high.

With the strength and speed of Lu Ma's feet, Liu Feng easily shook off the enemy rangers cruising on all sides, and took the road north, preparing to pass through Baqiu and then turn to Chaisang.

When Liu Feng was at the head of Linxiang City, like a general of Shenweitian, holding high the head of Zhoucang, no one in Jiangxia was frightened, as soon as Liu Feng left the city, someone immediately recognized him, and the news quickly spread to Liu Bei in the highland camp.

"What, the beast went north of the city?" After hearing the news, Liu Bei looked a little surprised.

Guan Yu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Most of this beast saw that the city was about to be lost, so he abandoned his subordinates and escaped alone, after all, he was just a greedy and afraid of death." ”

The arrogant Guan Yu, even if he was frustrated several times by the phrase "greedy for life and afraid of death", he was still full of contempt for him.

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think about this matter?" Liu Bei still maintained a quasi-quiet, in the face of such vague information, Liu Bei would rather believe Xu Shu's judgment.

At the beginning of hearing the news, a shadow was shrouded in Xu Shu's expression, and after some deep thought, the worry on his face did not feel heavier.

Hearing Liu Bei's question, Xu Shu said with a solemn expression: "Liu Feng dares to do such an earth-shattering thing, he is definitely not a greedy person who is afraid of death, in my opinion, Liu Feng went out of the city alone this time, not to escape, but to ask Wu Hou for help." ”

On the gray face, green tendons suddenly emerged, Liu Beiteng stood up, his eyes were shocked: "What does Yuan Zhi mean by this?" ”

"Wu Hou has always wanted to use the prestige of the lord, but also want to limit the development of the lord, now the disaster is in the courtyard, Wu Hou must secretly rejoice, if Liu Feng goes to ask for help, he can be justified in the middle of the mediation, then we have to retreat from the siege. After that, Wu Hou can secretly support Liu Feng and use his chess piece to clamp down on the lord, if Liu Feng is really successful, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Xu Shu's analysis hit the nail on the head, and even Guan Yu, who had been disdainful before, couldn't help but change color slightly when he heard it at this time.

As Xu Shu said, if Liu Feng's goal is achieved, then Liu Bei will be sandwiched between the two forces of Zhou Yu and Liu Feng, and the situation will be more passive than now, which Liu Bei does not want to see anyway.

However, at this time, Liu Bei's expression calmed down, it seemed that the more the situation was changing, the more he could maintain his extraordinary calmness, and at the moment he just asked unhurriedly: "Mr. is extremely right, but now that the rebel has escaped, is there still a chance to redeem?" ”

Xu Shu pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out, and sighed: "This matter is too complicated, except for the fact of breaking through Linxiang in a short period of time, resulting in the defeat of Liu Feng, so that Wu Hou has nothing to do, I can't think of any good plan for a while." By the way, maybe Kong Ming can have a clever plan to deal with it. ”

At the mention of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he groaned slightly, and said: "In this way, you and Yun Chang will lead the army to continue the siege of the city, and I will immediately set off to Xiakou to discuss countermeasures with Kong Ming's military division." ”

The next time, Liu Bei was surrounded by Liu Feng and went to Jiangdong, and then set off for the north in the starry night.

………………

Gangneung, Taishoufu.

"Ahem—"

Zhou Yu held his left arm, reclining on the couch, and took care of the military affairs with his illness. Since the battle of Gangneung last year, when he was blindly confident in commanding the siege of the city with arrows, he was unlucky to be hit by this poisonous arrow, although the injury was finally controlled, but because of the toxin remaining in the body, every time it rained, the entire left arm had a paralyzing pain.

"Governor Zhou."

A person stepped in from the outside, bowed his hand and smiled, Zhou Yu looked up, the rough face was very easy to recognize, and he knew at a glance that it was Pang Tong.

"Mr. Shiyuan, why are you back?"

Zhou Yu looked a little surprised, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and ordered the people on the left and right to show Pang Tong tea on the seat.

"I have nothing to do under the Wuhou Mansion, so I resigned and returned to Jiangling not long ago."

Nearly a year has passed since last year, when Pang Tong was entrusted by Zhou Yu to go to Chaisang to ask Sun Quan to send troops to attack Hefei in order to relieve the military pressure of Cao's army on the Jingxiang side.

Zhou Yu looked surprised: "What, didn't Wu Hou keep Mr. either?" ”

"Wu Hou has a lot of talents, there is no more than me, and there is a lot less than me, so why bother to keep it." Pang Tong said with a dry smile, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Zhou Yu's original intention was to recommend Pang Tong to Sun Quan, but Pang Tong's non-reuse made Zhou Yu feel a little puzzled.

He was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled again: "Mr. is Wang Zuozhicai, how can Wu Hou not be reused, most likely because he worked hard for official work and neglected Mr." Sir, rest assured, he said that I will definitely recommend it to Wu Hou again. ”

Pang Tong waved his hand and said: "The governor's mind is in control, as for what to recommend, everything is up to fate." By the way, now the dispute between the two Liu in the four counties of Jingnan, the governor must have paid a lot of attention to it. ”

Referring to the war in Jingnan, Zhou Yu couldn't help but have a sarcastic smile on his face, "I was reluctant to give Liu Bei the south bank and the four counties of Jingnan, and I was thinking about how to balance him, but I didn't expect Liu Feng, this kid, to suddenly rise up and act in such a good show of righteous annihilation, Jingnan's matter is now interesting and tight." ”

"Governor Zhou, haven't you seen it, now is the best opportunity given to you by God, how can you not seize it." Pang Tong's tone suddenly became solemn.

Zhou Yu was stunned: "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

Pang Tongyi jumped up and pointed to the map hanging on the wall: "Now the main force of Cao's army has been contained by Wu Hou in the southeast, and Liu Bei has a fire in the backyard, and all the troops are deployed on the front line of Changsha, Xiakou Public Security and other places, which can be described as empty." The governor now has tens of thousands of male soldiers, if he can take advantage of the situation to destroy Erliu, then he will promise a Jingzhou, which will be all in the pockets of the governor, and then swallow Bashu in the west and take Guanzhong in the north. ”

The intention of Pang Tong's generous words has been obvious, this is clearly to persuade Zhou Yu to betray Sun Quan and establish himself as a hero according to Jingzhou, with Zhou Yu's wisdom, how can he not hear his meaning.

Between the handsome and unparalleled eyebrows, a trace of fright flashed in an instant, Zhou Yu waved his hand violently, and said resolutely: "Mr. Shiyuan doesn't need to say more, I, Zhou Yu, will be loyal to the Sun family no matter now or in the future, even if it is to take Guanzhong in the north of Xitun Bashu, it is also taken by the Sun family, and I Zhou Yu will not have the slightest selfishness." ”

Zhou Yu's resoluteness did not disappoint Pang Tong, on the contrary, he felt a little relieved.

After laughing, Pang Tong's expression suddenly became relaxed again, "The loyalty of the governor is really admirable." That being the case, in order to ensure Jiangdong's control in Jingzhou and not affect the general trend of the alliance to resist Cao, it is believed that the governor should not intervene in Jingnan. ”

"What does Mr. mean......" Zhou Yu seemed to have understood.

"As far as I know, Liu Bei flooded Linxiang, Liu Feng is already in danger, instead of sitting back and watching his downfall, watching Liu Bei sit big, why don't the governors use a little means to protect that Liu Feng and use it to balance Liu Bei."

One word to the point.

"Sir has a point, hehe-hehe-" A sly smile appeared on the handsome face.
