(There is also a shift in the evening.) ）

wants these people to follow themselves to rebel against Liu Bei, in addition to the banner of righteousness, in addition to the pull of Enren, of course, the coercion of intimidation is indispensable. Wei Yan either did not express his position, or expressed his position violently, although it was a bit unexpected by Liu Feng, but it was in line with his plan of combining grace and power.

The strong visual impact caused by the broken case deeply shocked the hearts of everyone present, and the more than 20 people who watched and watched under this shock, where did they dare to hesitate anymore, and immediately expressed their support and support.

For a while, the whole lobby was excited, some were forced, some were blind, some were speculative, and some really wanted to do something big, in short, at this moment, everyone showed an irreversible determination.

Liu Feng secretly exhaled in his heart, glanced at Wei Yan, and nodded slightly to him, and Wei Yan also nodded in response. At this time, Liu Feng turned his gaze to Liu Qi again, gave him a look, and ordered him to act according to the plan.

Liu Qi cleared his throat and said excitedly: "With the help of all loyal and righteous people, why worry about not regaining my father's inheritance, now I, Liu Qi, as the eldest son of my father, officially inherit the position of pastor of Jingzhou, and give my father the position of general Zhennan to my brother Liu Feng, who will control the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou. ”

Liu Biao had three titles on his head before his death, Jingzhou Mu, Zhennan General, and Wucheng Marquis, according to the Han system, Zhou Mu could only be appointed as a county magistrate, county magistrate, Zhicong, Beijia and other political axe officials, while Zhennan General had the power to open a government and seal officials, including not only civil servants, but also officers at all levels in charge of the military. As for Marquis Wu Cheng, it is nothing more than a false name.

Now Liu Qi claims to inherit Liu Biao's foundation, theoretically he wants to inherit three titles together, but he knows very well that he has no ability to complete the so-called restoration of the "ancestral father's inheritance", and if he wants to deal with Liu Bei, everything has to rely on Liu Feng. Therefore, he took the initiative to give up the position of general of Zhennan to Liu Feng, which was equivalent to handing over all the military power to Liu Feng, which was more convenient for Liu Feng to command the army in name and command, and had full authority to command the battle against Liu Bei.

In other words, Liu Qi at this time is still a nominal "puppet", and all the military and political power in the two counties of Xiangdong is in the hands of Liu Feng, but unlike before, in the past, he was forced to be Liu Bei's puppet, but this time, he was willing.

After Liu Qi announced it to everyone, Liu Feng did not make that false excuse, and immediately said in a loud voice: "Thanks to my brother's trust, I will temporarily assume the position of general of Zhennan, I hope you can work together with me to ensure that my brother achieves great causes, and I will share it with you in the future!" ”

Leave a name in history, glory and wealth, how many heroes compete to bend their waists for these eight words, Liu Feng is tantamount to patting his chest to make a guarantee to them, under this encouragement, everyone is impassioned and determined.

At the moment of completing the "raising of arms and shouting", Liu Feng sent a letter in the name of Liu Qi to Changsha and the counties of Guilin, announcing that he would replace Liu Bei to take over the military and political power in various places, and asked them to hurry up and prepare for Liu Bei's invasion soon after.

At the same time, in the name of General Zhennan, Liu Feng promoted Huang Zhong to General Bi, Wei Yan to General Pi, and Ma Jian and Chen Zhi to Zhonglang General and Lieutenant respectively.

Linxiang City, Zhennan General Zhongjun Tent.

In the evening of the same day, Liu Feng, who had just obtained the rank of general of Zhennan, quickly convened an emergency military meeting, and now he must race against time to complete the military deployment of the second county of Xiangdong, with Liu Bei's surname, after hearing the news of his son and nephew's blatant "rebellion", the attack of revenge may be launched at any time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after Liu Bei annexed the two counties of Xiangxi, the total number of soldiers and horses in his hands was about 30,000, excluding the six or seven thousand county soldiers, and the regular army that could fight in the field was at least more than 23,000 people. Xiakou and Youjiangkou are his coffin books, and he will definitely leave at least 5,000 or so troops to garrison. In other words, if Liu Bei attacks this time, there will be about 17,000 troops at his disposal, while the number of troops that can be fought in our hands will not exceed 5,000, and the opponent's strength will be three times that of ours, which is an unavoidable fact. ”

Liu Feng frankly pointed out his own weaknesses, knowing that he knew that the other side could fight, and if he strategically despised the opponent, he would only lose badly.

When Liu Feng swallowed his spit, Liu Ba followed: "Although Liu Bei's troops are superior, you must know that the Jiangxia he occupies borders the Cao army, and if he has worries, he will never dare to fight with us with all his might, this is one of them." Second, Liu Bei came from afar, and the supply of grain and grass mainly relied on Jiangxia's transportation, while although our troops were small, we could concentrate troops and horses, and hold on to important towns such as Linxiang with leisure and labor, and the grain accumulated in Tuntian was used as a backing. ”

After a pause, he then analyzed: "In the end, Jiangxia, Wuling and Lingling, in the final analysis, are all the old subordinates of Xianzhou Mu, and we have the banner of Zi Dezhou Mu in hand, which will inevitably affect the stability of the hearts of the people in the three counties occupied by Liu Bei." With these three shortcomings, Liu Beili is fighting quickly, as long as we can hold on to the city, the longer it drags on, the greater the chance of victory in our hands. ”

Wei Yan slapped the table and said: "Liu Taishou doesn't need to analyze it in such detail, we know very well how many catties and taels the opponent has, and we are also very clear about how much ability we can have." Now that we are all in the same boat, even if there is only a glimmer of hope for victory, we will not retreat, General Liu, just say how you plan to arrange for us to meet the enemy. ”

Wei Yan's rough words made Liu Ba look a little unhappy, but this straightforward expression was more effective in boosting morale.

Liu Feng smiled proudly: "Okay, if you have this confidence, I will have the bottom in my heart." ”

At that moment, Liu Feng simply stated the battle plan he had drawn up in advance.

According to Liu Feng's speculation, once Liu Bei heard about their "rebellion", he would inevitably take advantage of the fact that the influence of the incident had not yet expanded, and quickly launched an attack.

On the southern front, Liu Bei should order Zhang Fei, who was stationed in Lingling, to lead his troops and horses to attack Guiyang. On the northern front, Liu Bei himself would move south from the mouth of the Youjiang River and attack Yiyang, which was located west of Xiangshui, through Wuling. Guan Yu, who was in Xiakou, would lead the naval army south along the Xiangshui River, and the three-way army would advance in three directions to the Linxiang Encirclement of Changsha County.

Liu Feng's deployment was to order Wei Yan to lead 1,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to the south, and together with Chen to the headquarters, with 1,500 men to assist Ma Liang in defending Guiyang County and resisting the attack of Zhang Fei's army. Huang Zhong and Ma Jian led an army of 2,000 to garrison Linxiang City, while Liu Feng led 1,000 soldiers and horses to Yiyang to meet Liu Bei's attack head-on.

"General, although the city of Yiyang is the gateway to Changsha, the city is not strong, and the isolation protrudes from the west of Xiangshui, once Guan Yu's army enters Xiangshui, it is easy to cut off the connection between Yiyang and Xiangdong, and then it will form a situation of encirclement for you, rather than taking the risk of defending Yiyang alone, it is better to concentrate troops to stick to Linxiang."

Ma Jian said some benefits without thinking, after planning for so long, how could Liu Feng not think about these interests.

He took a deep breath, and his blade-like eyes flashed with a bit of determination: "The southward speed of Xiakou Guan Yu's army must be one step later than Liu Bei, I just want to take advantage of this opportunity to frustrate Liu Bei's sharpness first." Our army is weak and the enemy is strong, and this inspiring victory must be completed by me! ”
