Chapter Ninety-Five: Fellow Travelers
Liu Ba's scolding seemed to scold his heart that he had suppressed for a long time, and his face showed the joy of finally meeting his soulmate.
But in the blink of an eye, his expression sank again, and his eyes as clear as water re-examined the two young people in front of him, and after a long silence, he frowned and said: "What Zide Gongzi said is also in line with Liu Xuande's original surname." But the two of you are here together, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as what Zide Gongzi just said. β
Liu Qi turned his gaze to Liu Feng, as the layout of the entire grand plan, at this time, only he was qualified to answer Liu Ba's question.
After taking a deep breath, Liu Feng smiled proudly: "Sure enough, I can't hide Mr. Zichu's eyes, yes, Brother Zide and I have already planned to use these two counties as a foothold to completely break with Liu Bei after conquering the second county of Xiangdong." β
Liu Ba looked shocked: "Liu Gongzi, that person is your adoptive father after all, don't you have any scruples about what you are doing now?" β
Liu Feng Zhengse said: "Filial piety is big and small, Zide and he have both nephews and uncles, and the main ministers, but he is for his own selfishness, so cruel treatment of Zide, is already an unkind and unrighteous generation, if I Liu Feng is not righteous to kill relatives, how can I be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth." β
The sentence "righteous annihilation of relatives" made Liu Ba's expression gradually soften, obviously this reason for occupying the moral high ground has been partially recognized by Liu Ba.
At this time, Liu Qi continued: "Mr. Zichu didn't know, when Ah Feng was in Changbanpo, in order to save Liu Bei's son Ah Dou, he lost his surname several times, but in the end, Liu Bei's subordinate Mi Zhu accused Ah Feng of killing Mi, and Liu Bei even acquiesced in others slandering his son. Although this incident later turned out to be just a farce, Ah Feng was innocent, but with Liu Bei's personality, he was suspicious, and Ah Feng had actually been forced to a dead end. β
Liu Feng had grievances on his face, and sighed: "My two brothers were also cornered by him, so they had to take the opportunity of the southern expedition to the second county of Xiangdong to take the opportunity to get out of his control. β
After listening to a series of sad and angry explanations from his brothers, Liu Ba's attitude has changed drastically, and he, who was originally hostile to Liu Feng, is now sympathetic.
"I always thought that Liu Bei was just a hypocritical and hypocritical, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious, even his own son and nephew can be so ruthless, it seems that the name of this hero is really worthy of his name." Liu Ba sighed, and said, "What are your two plans next?" β
In the blade-like eyes, surging flames flickered, Liu Feng said angrily: "What else can I do, based on the two counties of Xiangdong, break the cauldron and sink the boat, and fight to the death with Liu Bei!" β
Liu Feng's iron blood and decisiveness faintly infected this great talent in Jiangnan, the sudden rise of these two Xiao Liu, if Liu Bei's ambition to swallow Jingzhou can be stopped, it is in line with Liu Ba's mind in terms of reason and reason, he is naturally happy to see it, but this does not affect his calm judgment.
The more enthusiastic Liu Feng was, the calmer Liu Ba became, and after a long silence, he said with a solemn expression: "You can recognize Liu Bei's true face and break with him for the sake of righteousness, this is naturally a wise choice." But Liu Bei now has Jiangxia, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and if he takes Wuling and Lingling again, his momentum will inevitably be even stronger. Once you turn against you, Liu Bei's army is bound to attack, with your existing soldiers and horses, if you want to resist Liu Bei's attack with only two counties, I am afraid it will be very difficult. β
"If it's not difficult, how can it be called a shipwreck." Liu Feng smiled calmly, it seemed that he didn't take the predicament in front of him seriously at all.
Liu Feng's optimism and positivity once again moved Liu Ba's heart, he had vaguely guessed the intentions of these two people, but he didn't say it explicitly, but nodded slightly: "Although Liu Bei is strong, he is not invincible. General Liu, your means of appeasing people's hearts are quite powerful, and now the people of Changsha County, everyone praises you, and then let Zide Gongzi stand up and raise his arms, you two are on the side of justice, and the people's hearts will inevitably be more attached, plus with the assistance of General Huang, it is not impossible to thwart Liu Bei's attack. β
Liu Ba is worthy of Liu Ba, when he didn't know the truth before, he was still kept in the dark, but when Liu Feng told him the truth, he analyzed the overall plan of Liu Feng and the two in a blink of an eye.
This person really has a few pounds and two, and it seems that my risk is not in vain. β
The two glanced at each other, and suddenly bowed to Liu Ba at the same time.
The sudden gift made Liu Ba stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean by the two sons?" β
Liu Cover was sincere, and said silently: "Although the two of us have determination, how can we be shallow in learning, and how can we resist that person with determination and no strength." And Mr. has the talent of Wang Zuozhi, so I want to ask Mr. to stay and help the two of us achieve this great thing. β
Being able to reveal such an earth-shattering plan and discernment, with Liu Ba's wisdom, how could he not guess what their intentions were, in fact, in his heart, he must have already calculated at this moment, but as a self-confident talent, he easily agreed and attached himself to the command of the two young people, but it did not fit his own style.
At that moment, Liu Ba shook his head and sighed: "I'm just a scholar, what can I do to help you." β
Liu Feng knew that he was playing reserved, so he further said: "Mr. is too humble, my plan is to take the opportunity to protect Mr. to be the Taishou of Changsha, that person has always admired Mr., and he has long wanted to recruit Mr. into his command to decorate the faΓ§ade, and Mr. is a native of Jingnan, and there are also people in Changsha, I think that person will definitely agree." With the talent of Mr., sitting in Changsha as a backup for us, and then fighting to the death with that person, our chances of victory will increase a lot. β
"This ......" Liu Ba was still hesitating.
Liu Feng secretly glanced at Liu Qi again, Liu Qi immediately burst into tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "I wait for this invitation, it is true that Mr. will put him in danger, but this is also a last resort, Mr. is a talented and virtuous person, can he sit back and watch my two brothers being killed by Liu Bei, but not help." β
Liu Feng's objective analysis, coupled with Liu Qi's emotional card, is a two-pronged approach, which can be regarded as giving Liu Ba enough face.
After a moment of silence, Liu Ba took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Liu Ba is a rural idler, thanks to the two sons, I naturally can't see death without help, and I should do my best." β
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Feng hurriedly helped Liu Ba up, and said with a smile: "With Mr. to help me, sitting in Changsha, I can sit back and relax in the future and give it a go." β
Liu Ba was not in a hurry to express generosity, but said calmly: "Changsha County is the foundation, but Guiyang County should not be underestimated, if there is no capable person to defend it, once Liu Bei gets it, we will be besieged on three sides." β
"What Mr. thinks, is exactly what I am worried about, in fact, it is not a problem to take Guiyang County, the difficulty is how to find a person who is on our side and can make that person not suspicious to be the Taishou."
Liu Ba smiled slightly: "I have a candidate who has the best of both worlds." β
