Chapter 131: Tricks
There is only one line of elegant and free words on the silk book: marry in Jiangdong to control Xuande.
But it was this line of words that made Liu Feng suddenly have a sudden realization like an enlightenment.
The premise of Sun Quan and Liu Bei's alliance is that the two sides have a common enemy, Cao Ying, but this alliance itself has an unsolvable hidden danger - the belonging of Jingzhou.
After the Battle of Chibi, the reason why Sun Quan acquiesced to Liu Bei's taking of the four southern counties was largely because Cao Ying was still his most threatening enemy at present, but this did not mean that Sun Quan was at ease with Liu Bei, and it was no wonder that Sun Quan was not even at ease with Zhou Yu, so how could he rest assured that Liu Bei, an outsider, could be assured.
Then, now Liu Feng and Liu Bei's opposition is naturally what Sun Quan is happy to see, so it is equivalent to putting a time bomb behind Liu Bei's back, and without Sun Quan bothering himself, he can use Liu Feng as a move to contain Liu Bei.
Put yourself in your shoes, Liu Feng believes that Sun Quan's thoughts must be consistent with his own.
That Pang Tong's sentence "marrying Jiangdong to control Liu Bei" should imply that he took the initiative to form an in-law with Sun Quan, so that with this level of relationship, Liu Bei has no choice, even if he is reluctant, he has to withdraw his troops, because Liu Bei knows very well that with his current strength, he can't turn his face with Sun Quan at all.
"Pang Tong, Pang Tong, you are really like a god."
After figuring out the key to solving the crisis, Liu Fengsui convened Liu Ba, Ma Jian and others overnight to discuss the matter.
The rain outside the hall was raining, the lights in the hall were swaying, and under the dim light, everyone was a little tired on their faces. Obviously, Xu Shu's "poisonous plan" to flood Linxiang has tortured everyone enough.
Liu Feng looked around at the tired faces, his expression was full of confidence, and he said loudly: "Everyone, I have already thought of the plan to retreat from the enemy. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's spirits were lifted. Liu Feng's words were like giving them a stimulant, and they mobilized their emotions in an instant.
Everyone's eyes widened, waiting for Liu Feng to say his so-called strategy to retreat from the enemy.
"At the beginning of the child, the Jiangdong Sun family, how many women are there in the boudoir?"
Liu Feng's inexplicable sentence made everyone stunned, and they didn't understand for a while, there were a few unmarried women in the Wuhou family, and what was the matter with retreating from the enemy.
Liu Ba was stunned for a moment, touched his forehead with his fingertips and said, "What about this...... Wu Hou is still young, and the daughters of his knees are all young, if there is anyone in the Sun family to be in the boudoir, after calculation, only Wu Hou's half-sister is left, which seems to be called ......"
Liu Ba frowned slightly, and couldn't remember the name of this "Wu Hou's half-sister" for a while.
"Sun Shangxiang." Liu Feng spoke it out for him.
Liu Ba slapped his forehead: "It is Sun Shangxiang, this daughter is said to be the widow of Sun Wentai, the father of Wu Hou, although she is a concubine, but she has always liked martial arts, and she is still unmarried when she is nearly twenty years old, but she is also a strange woman." ”
Women in this era will generally marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and at the age of twenty in the future generations, they are already standard "older leftover women", Liu Ba's sentence "strange woman" is not so much praise, but rather irony.
Fate is really an interesting thing, if you believe in it, you will have it, if you don't believe in it, Liu Feng at this moment suddenly had an illusion, as if in the dark, there is really a pair of hands called fate, which linked him with the woman named Sun Shangxiang.
"Lord, your strategy to retreat from the enemy should not be ......" Ma Yan's words broke Liu Feng's thoughts, and he seemed to have guessed Liu Feng's intentions.
Liu Feng no longer beat around the bush, and said calmly: "That's right, I plan to propose marriage to Marquis Wu, ask to marry this Miss Sun Shangxiang, and use the power of Sun Wu to force Liu Bei to withdraw from the army." ”
The people present were all smart people who understood a little bit, Liu Feng's words were so clear, they immediately understood his intentions, so Liu Feng's decision did not cause any waves.
Liu Ba Meiyu was a little excited: "Sun Liu is in harmony with his appearance, Wu Hou must also be happy to let us and Liu Bei check and balance each other, and it is not a good choice for the lord to plan this." ”
"It's the only option!" Liu Feng stood up and pointed to the big water that was rushing up the steps outside the hall, "As soon as the water recedes, the plague will rise, and then Liu Bei will take advantage of the situation to attack, even if we have the determination to die, it will be useless, except for marrying Sun Wu, we have no second way to go." ”
Everyone's expressions were solemn, and after a moment of silence, Ma Jian said: "The lord's words are reasonable, and only this strategy can solve the danger of Hunan at the moment." But I don't know who the lord plans to send to propose to Wu Hou? ”
Liu Feng paced in the hall and muttered for a long time, "If you send someone else to propose marriage, between coming and going, Linxiang City may have long been lost, this trip I must go to see Wu Hou in person, only in this way can I persuade Wu Hou to put pressure on Liu Bei and force him to retreat before Linxiang City is broken." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.
Huang Zhong hurriedly said: "Then Marquis Wu and Liu Bei are still in an alliance relationship after all, if the lord goes to Jiangdong alone, if there is a slight mistake, it will not be the general trend." ”
Huang Zhong's worries were also the concerns of others, and everyone was busy persuading.
Liu Feng smiled indifferently: "Now all the possible surnames are based on the premise of assumptions, as the so-called do not enter the tiger's den, but get the tiger, even if there are all kinds of risks on this trip, but for the sake of me and your great cause, I have to take this risk." ”
Although they didn't want Liu Feng to take the risk, they also knew very well that if Liu Feng didn't take this risk, then they would face the tragic end of the city's destruction and death.
In public and private, they must all fully support Liu Feng.
Suddenly, Huang Zhongteng stood up, his expression was solemn, and he said angrily: "Lord, you can go to Jiangdong with confidence, as for this Linxiang City, I, Huang Zhong, dare to guarantee that the city is in the people, and the city is dead!" ”
"Lord, I deceived Guan Yu three times, I don't want to obediently wait for him to break the city and split my five horses." In a joking manner, Ma Tan also expressed his determination to stick to it.
What Liu Feng was most worried about was not that he went to Jiangdong to propose his relatives in vain, but that after he left, the moment when Linxiang City could not support his success, Huang Zhong's generous statement in front of him made Liu Feng feel a lot more at ease.
Liu Feng took a deep breath, looked around at the bloody and solemn faces, his mood was also surging, he nodded deeply, and said, "With you here, I can go with peace of mind." You can rest assured, I, Liu Feng, promise with the head of the Xiang Master, and I will never let you down. ”
