Chapter 16 Survival comes first
The excitement continues, ask for some recommendation votes, and the swallow thanks.
――――――
"Whose idea was this?" Liu Feng's tone became serious, and the knots of his eyebrows secretly condensed showed that he had objections to Liu Bei's plan, but Xu Shu beside him couldn't see it.
Xu Shu lowered his voice: "This is what Kong Ming is strongly advocating, and the lord and I have jointly decided. ”
"Is Mr. Kong Ming back?"
Since the Battle of Nagasaka, Kong Ming has been playing the role of diplomatic liaison, running between Jiangxia and Hanjin, and it has been almost ten days since the last time Liu Feng saw him.
Xu Shu nodded: "Before Kong Ming left Jiangxia this time, he had reached a preliminary agreement with Lu Zijing in Jiangdong to join forces with Sun Liu to fight against Cao Ying. ”
Liu Feng was not surprised by the news of Sun Liu's team-up, what he didn't understand was why Liu Bei would follow Liu Qi in advance, according to the history he knew, Liu Bei only fully took over Liu Qi's family business after Liu Qi died of illness.
"Zide is Liu Jingsheng's eldest son, and he still has a certain appeal in Jingzhou, if his father does it at this time, won't he be afraid of chilling people's hearts?"
Liu Feng didn't want history to deviate from its original trajectory here, of course, because Liu Qi blocked that arrow for him, he was also a little more grateful to Liu Qi as a person, so he didn't want to do it himself and act as the vanguard of the revenge.
"We have also considered these factors, but the current situation forces us to do this."
"What do you mean by that?" Liu Feng couldn't understand the deep meaning of Xu Shu's words for a while.
Xu Shu sighed: "The Cao army is powerful, with our own strength, even if we add more than 10,000 men and horses of Zide Gongzi, it will be difficult to fight, only by joining forces with Jiangdong, we can have the hope of repelling the Cao army and surviving." However, the Jiangdong Sun clan has been at war with Jingzhou for more than ten years, and if Zide Gongzi sticks to the old enmity and refuses to cooperate with Jiangdong, he will not get Jiangdong's assistance at that time, and Cao Ying's army will go down the river from Jiangling and Xiangyang to attack Jiangxia, and we will be in danger of annihilation. The lord's current decision is also to take into account the overall situation. ”
Liu Feng suddenly realized at this time, and muttered: "Zide has 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and his strength is on par with ours, and Jiangxia is his territory, if he can't convince him before arriving in Jiangxia, my father will have to take tough measures, otherwise once we arrive in Jiangxia, we won't even have the opportunity to use strength, right, Mr. Yuanzhi."
Although he was only a college student who had just graduated before the crossing, and he had not experienced any political struggles, before the crossing, he was also a person who had sat in the office, not to mention that it was a small office, and the open and secret battles in it were also surging, and Liu Feng also learned a lot from it. Now after listening to Xu Shu's words, his smart thinking quickly became transparent.
Xu Shu's eyebrows showed a little helplessness: "It seems that the eldest prince has been able to understand the difficulties of the lord, the lord has always used benevolence and righteousness to attract the hearts of the people of the world, but when it comes to this time of life and death, all actions must make way for survival, even if the name of benevolence and righteousness is damaged, it is no longer hesitant." ”
Survival, everything is for survival. Liu Bei's decision, although Xu Shu's words are cruel and ruthless, but in this era of the jungle, it seems to be reasonable.
As Liu Bei's son, Liu Feng's surname is closely related to it, in order to survive, even if he hates this decision, at this time, he must firmly stand on Liu Bei's side.
After a moment of silence, Liu Feng nodded heavily: "I understand, please tell my father that I will arrange everything at that time." ”
After a brief polite visit to Liu Qi, Xu Shu changed to a small boat and went to Liu Bei's flagship. After nightfall, the formation of the entire fleet began to change quietly in preparation for tomorrow's crucial meeting.
Guan Yu requested that the 3,000 naval troops and more than 100 warships loyal to Liu Feng be transferred to the front of the entire fleet to open the way on the grounds that he was familiar with the waterways in the Jiangxia area.
At the same time, Liu Bei believed that his uncle and nephew should communicate with each other at any time, and the ships should not be too far apart, so Liu Qi's flagship did not move to the front with his Jiangxia naval army, but stayed in the middle of the fleet, so that it was under the comprehensive "protection" of dozens of warships of Guan Yu's naval army.
The blazing torches illuminated the huge group of ships, and in the night, it was like a golden dragon floating on the Han River. Liu Feng on the deck stared into the distance, in the flickering firelight, the battleships were silently changing their positions, the waves hit the hull, Liu Feng faintly felt a kind of implicit killing machine permeating the entire fleet.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Liu Feng put away his solemn face, looked back, and saw Liu Qi, who was carrying a jar of wine and walking towards him with a smile.
"Ah Feng, if you don't sleep at night, what kind of cold wind is blowing here." Liu Qi's voice is hearty and kind, and his whole body exudes the vitality of a young man.
"It's stuffy in the cabin, come out and breathe." Liu Feng replied with a smile, he consciously showed a relaxed expression, so as not to be seen by Liu Qi as abnormal.
"I don't think you're bored, you're thinking about women, then." Liu Qi smiled kindly, and threw the wine jar over a few steps away.
Liu Feng caught the wine jar, but he didn't drink it: "Brother, what are you talking about, what do you think about women?" ”
Liu Qi stepped forward, stretched out his arm and hooked his neck, and his eyes narrowed into a slit: "Don't pretend in front of my brother, I, Liu Qi, wander through the flowers, you and Miss Yuemei are so careful, do you still want to hide from my eyes?" ”
Through the real understanding of these days, Liu Feng knew that the real Liu Qi was not actually the cowardly and incompetent person in the book, this person was not only very chivalrous, but also a little talented, otherwise Huang Zu was killed by the Jiangdong army, and Liu Qi succeeded to the position of Jiangxia Taishou, and it would not take only one year to stabilize the situation in Jiangxia, so that the rampant Sun did not dare to further attack Jingzhou.
Liu Qi also does not lack the special surname common to all gentlemen - lustful. Of course, this is just a rumor, but after Liu Feng listened to Liu Qi's proud boast just now, he believed it.
Liu Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't make fun of me, I think you drank too much." By the way, you still have arrow wounds in your body, how can you drink so heavily and be careful of hurting your body. ”
"Isn't it just a hole that was shot, a small injury with a bigger fart is nothing." Liu Qi snatched the wine jar from his hand, poured a few more sips, patted him on the shoulder and taught very seriously: "Seriously, that Miss Yuemei is very good-looking and a good girl. Ah Feng, if you want to take a fancy to it, you have to be bold to get it, don't let your mother-in-law and mother-in-law take the lead, be careful to let others take the lead. ”
I don't know if he drank high, or if he was really straightforward, such a blunt word, Liu Feng has heard it for the first time since he traveled to this era.
However, Liu Feng likes his straightforward surname.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Liu Feng responded happily.
Liu Qi laughed: "That's right, let me tell you, I will be your military advisor, and I am worried that she will not take the bait." I'm not blowing, your brother and I have been through a lot of battles,......。 ”
The river breeze blows, and the aroma of wine accompanied by hearty laughter drifts into the depths of the night.
