In Sun Quan's eyes, Liu Feng has always been a weakling.

Although he attacked Shuzhong that year and dominated the two states, his strength once occupied an advantage.

But soon, Zhou Yu broke Hefei, Shouchun and Xiapi in succession, and helped him Sun Quan to possess Xu Sanzhou, as well as half of Jingzhou.

Liu Feng's advantage was only short-lived, until Zhou Yu's rebellion, Sun Quan still regarded himself as a strong man, and was even considering whether to send someone to Xiangyang to ask Liu Feng for Jingzhou.

But now the situation has changed abruptly, and the disaster has caused Xiao Wall, and he has lost a large area of land in the north of the Yangtze River, as well as Zhou Yu and other generals, as well as 70,000 male soldiers.

In the face of Liu Feng, Sun Quan had no bottom at all.

In his opinion, the current Liu Feng is like a predator entrenched in the upstream, who can open his blood basin and swallow himself at any time.

For the first time in his life, Sun Quan felt afraid of his brother-in-law.

"At the moment, I heard that Liu Fengzheng is preparing to use troops against Xu County, if this is the case, he should not be able to draw troops and horses to take advantage of the fire to rob."

The latest information from Jingzhou made Sun Quan feel a little comforted.

Lu Fan said: "That's what I said, but if Liu Feng heard that the situation in Jiangdong had changed, what if he temporarily changed his plan to raise troops to the east?" ”

Sun Quan's heart trembled suddenly.

Over the years, Liu Feng has won successive battles, and after capturing Nanyang, all the troops in his hands are no less than 150,000 or 60,000, and he has also established a cavalry of a large scale, and his strength is extremely terrifying.

When Zhou Yu did not rebel before, the total strength of Eastern Wu was originally comparable to Liu Feng's army.

But now, Zhou Yu reversed, Sun Quan lost half of his troops at once, if Liu Feng mixed in again, how could he deal with the attack of Liu Er's more than 200,000 troops on two fronts at the same time with the 60,000 or 70,000 men and horses in his hands.

Sun Quan's courage was trembling, and there was a cold sweat behind him.

"Lord, for today's plan, it is better to send someone to Xiangyang, one is to communicate with Liu Feng, and the other is to touch the opponent's intentions. In any case, even if you can't convince Liu Feng to stay still, at least you can prepare in advance. ”

Although Sun Quan was unwilling to bow to Liu Feng in every way, there was no other way to do it now.

After weighing it repeatedly, Sun Quan had to send Lu Fan as an envoy to Jingzhou, not only bringing a large number of gifts, but also Sun Quan's decision to give up his promise to borrow Jingzhou's Old Testament in exchange for Liu Feng's immobility.

At the same time as Lü Fan's envoy, Sun Quan immediately sent his cousin Sun Yu to Xiakou to help Lu Su guard against Jingzhou.

Because it was Lu Su and other generals on the Western Front, there was no shortage of generals who followed Zhou Yu to participate in the battles of Chibi and Jiangling.

At the same time, Sun Quan quickly mobilized 40,000 Jiangnan soldiers and horses, with the veteran Han Dang as the front governor, and led Chen Wu, Zhu Heng, Zhou Tai and other generals north to Hefei, wanting to personally quell Zhou Yu's rebellion.

…………………… Xiangyang.

As Zhou Jun said, as soon as Zhou Yu's messenger left, the news of Zhou Yu's "rebellion" spread in Huainan on the back foot.

What made Liu Feng even more amazing was that Zhou Yu actually moved out of the banner of "Sun Ce's son".

This move is exactly the same as when Liu Feng raised troops in the name of Liu Qi.

Liu Feng even wondered if it could be his actions back then that inspired Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang.

In any case, while applauding Zhou Yu's shooting, Liu Feng's worries about Zhou Yu's previous "unknown teacher" were also swept away.

Sun Shao's move made Liu Feng more confident in joining forces with Zhou Yu.

The next development of events was also expected by Liu Feng.

Sun Quan's annoyance became angry, he sent troops to conscript, Sun Yu's transfer to Xiakou, and all kinds of things were under control.

Three days after receiving the news of Zhou Yu's self-reliance, Liu Feng waited for Lu Fan's visit as expected.

In the military palace, Liu sat with his eyes closed, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, unaware of Lu Fan's entry.

"Lu Fan has seen General Liu."

Lu Fan, who walked into the hall, smiled all over his face and bowed respectfully.

Liu Feng's head shook and seemed to be dozing off.

Liu Feng's ignorance made Lu Fan feel embarrassed, so he had to cough lightly and raise his voice: "Dongwu Lu Fan, meet General Liu." ”

As if waking up from a dream, Liu Feng opened his eyes violently.

When he stretched and yawned a few times, and then saw Lu Fan, who was becoming more and more embarrassed in the hall, he couldn't help but wonder: "It turned out to be Mr. Ziheng, what kind of wind blew you here." ”

Lu Fan knew that Liu Feng was deliberately teasing him, but this bitter water could only be swallowed in his stomach.

He hurriedly laughed and said: "The general is my lord's sister-in-law, Liu Sun's family, my lord's heart is worried about the general, so he specially ordered the subordinate to come and greet the general." ”

In several meetings that year, Lu Fan relied on the power of Eastern Wu, and his attitude towards Liu Feng was so arrogant.

Now that he has asked for others, how humble he is with a face, and the diametrically opposite attitudes before and after really make Liu Feng feel disgusted.

Liu Feng sneered: "It's really hard for Wu Hou to remember, I thought that Wu Hou hadn't been with my brother-in-law for a long time, and now he suddenly sent Ziheng to come here, just to ask me for Jingzhou." ”

Liu Feng deliberately pulled the topic to the appointment of "borrowing Jingzhou" back then, wanting to see what kind of face Lu Fan would be.

Lu Fan immediately sneered and said: "The general said that he was joking, they are all his own family, how can there be anything to borrow or not." In fact, my Wu Hou has long forgotten that there is such a thing, I came this time, it is by the way to say to the general, the previous loan, my Wu Hou decided to write off, this Jingzhou should belong to the general, I Dongwu will not ask for it in the future. ”

"It's really rare for my brother-in-law to be so generous."

Liu Feng looked quite surprised, and after sighing a few times, he suddenly said: "Since Wu Hou is so generous, why don't you return Jiangxia County to me." ”

"This ......" Lu Fan was taken aback, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Liu Feng then said: "Jiangxia County originally belonged to Jingzhou, didn't Wu Hou say that this Jingzhou should belong to me, in this case, shouldn't this Jiangxia County also be returned to me?" ”

Liu Feng's biting words and strong words made Lu Fan anxious and angry, knowing that the other party intended to humiliate him, but he was helpless.

"General Liu, Jiangxia belongs to Jingzhou well, but ......"

The depressed Lu Fan didn't know how to deal with it, and he was so anxious that sweat was rolling on his forehead for a while.

Liu Feng looked at Lu Fan's anxious appearance, thinking back to the time when he was showing off his martial arts in front of him, and he was so happy in his heart.

Under the pleasure, Liu Feng laughed: "Look Ziheng, you are in a hurry, I am just joking with you, you are still serious." ”

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed with him.

The awkward atmosphere seems to have eased slightly.

Liu Feng took a sip of tea, changed his words, and said with a worried face: "Ziheng, I heard that Dongwu has not been peaceful recently, it seems that Zhou Yu has reversed, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"It's true, but it's just a handful of soldiers who were held hostage by Zhou Yu and rebelled, and they can't set off any strong winds and waves, my lord has led the army to conquer, and I believe it will be pacified soon."

At this time, Lu Fan only felt that his face was dull, but he could also be calm and calm, as if Zhou Yu's rebellion was not a big deal.

Hmph, it's still holding on.

At this time, Liu Feng suddenly showed anger on the ground, and said hatefully: "Wu Hou treats Zhou Yu well, but he has done such a rebellious thing, which is really hateful. If Marquis Wu agrees, I am willing to draw some troops and horses, immediately raise troops to the east, and go to Huainan to help Marquis Wu put down the rebellion. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Fan's expression immediately changed.

If Liu Feng was in the name of helping Eastern Wu put down the rebellion, the army went eastward and took advantage of this opportunity to suddenly launch an attack on Jiangxia, but what should he do?

Under the fear, Lu Fan hurriedly smiled and said: "General Liu's kindness, I took it for Wu Houxin." However, Zhou Yu's rebellion was just a small turmoil, and there was no need for General Laborton to bother at all. ”

From Lu Fan's eyes, Liu Feng saw the word "fear".

That kind of look made Liu Feng's heart more and more happy.

On the surface, he pretended to regret it: "Since this is the case, then I won't do more." To tell the truth, at the moment, I am preparing to start the Northern Expedition of the two states, and there are really not many extra troops and horses to be deployed. ”

Liu Feng's words were hinting to Lü Fan that he was only concerned about the imminent war in the north, and had no intention of intervening in the internal strife of Eastern Wu.

As soon as he heard this, Lu Fan's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and his heart that hung in his throat fell a lot.

He smiled and said: "The general can rest assured, once my lord fights against Zhou Yu's rebellion, he will definitely immediately send troops north to respond to the general's Northern Expedition, and my two families will work together to wipe out the Cao thief in one fell swoop." ”

"This is very good, then I wish Wu Hou has already quelled the thieves, and he can help me."

Liu Feng pretended to be happy and saluted Lu Fan with tea instead of wine.

After some politeness, Lu Fan left with a satisfactory answer.

As soon as Lu Fan left, Pang Tong moved in from the back hall.

The phoenix chick smiled and said, "Lord, I didn't expect you to be so talented in acting, rare, rare." ”

Liu Feng shook his head and smiled, laughing at himself: "Sir, don't make fun of me, if it weren't for your plan, I really wanted to throw the book of declaration of war on the face of the surnamed Lu on the spot." ”

"I know that the current strength of the lord is not what it used to be, but this war is the final victory, the lord disdains to show a bad face, but in exchange for the surnames of thousands of soldiers, this deal is worth it." Pang Tong said unhurriedly.

Liu Feng nodded slightly: "Mr. said, how can I not know, otherwise I would have beheaded the head of the surname Lu to sacrifice the flag." Now that this trick has been exhausted, how to use the troops next, what is the opinion of the gentleman? ”

"It's very simple, either you don't shoot, and once you do, you will be a deadly killer!"

Pang Tong's eyes were murderous, and it seemed that he was not only determined to win this war against Wu, but also had a sense of revenge.

Liu Feng only remembered at this time that Pang Tong once worked for Soochow.

Back then, Zhou Yu and Lu Su both strongly recommended him to Sun Quan, but as a result, this blue-eyed child was reluctant to reuse it because of Pang Tong's ugly appearance and strange surname.

It is precisely because of this that Pang Tong finally chose to throw himself into the anonymous Liu Feng.

"Pang Shiyuan, I'm afraid you have more resentment towards Sun Quan than I do......"
