Chapter Eighty-Six: Letter of Persuasion

Thank you for the reward, and at the same time wish friends who support this book, the Year of the Dragon is like Liu Feng flying in the sky, and the future is unlimited.

――――――

Liu Feng led his 800 soldiers to retreat slowly, and went to camp fifteen miles north of Linxiang City.

At dusk, Ma Yanda stepped into the tent and interrupted Liu Feng's writing.

"You came just in time, your writing has always been better than mine, just help me see how this persuasion letter is written?" Liu Feng stopped his pen and handed the half-written silk book to Ma Yan.

Ma Tan took it in his hand, looked at it for a few moments, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Eldest son, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Don't make such a fuss." Liu Feng smiled indifferently, and then told what he promised when he met Huang Zhong alone in the morning under Linxiang City.

Ma Tan's flat forehead condensed a deep wrinkle, and he persuaded with a stern face: "Why bother with this, the eldest prince, we are originally plotting, even if the eldest prince agrees to that Huang Hansheng, how can he take it seriously." ”

Of course, Liu Feng was not naΓ―ve to that extent, if it was before, of course he would not write this letter stupidly, but now it is different, the whole big plan is going according to his vision, and it will not be long before he will openly break with Liu Bei, and this letter seems to be asking for trouble for himself, but in fact, Liu Feng is paving the way for the next step.

But in the face of Ma Yan's question, Liu Feng had to give him a reasonable explanation, but fortunately, he had already brewed an excuse.

"Huang Hansheng is a usable talent, I have the heart to surrender him, but this person's surname is strong and upright, if he knows that the big call I said before the battle is a lie to fool him, even if he has to surrender in the end, there will be dissatisfaction in my heart, so I have to write this letter."

Liu Feng's purpose is not to let him obey Liu Bei, but to let him obey himself, which naturally cannot be explained to Ma Jian for the time being.

Ma Jian had nothing to say about Liu Feng's explanation, but he couldn't help but sigh: "The eldest prince's intentions are good, but I also know that when I was in Xiakou before, the eldest prince had an unpleasant relationship with the lord, and at this time, if I write such a letter against the will of the lord, I am afraid that most of them will cause unnecessary trouble for the eldest prince." ”

Ma Jian was obviously alluding to the fact that at the military meeting, Mi Zhu openly slandered him for killing Mrs. Mi, and it seems that this matter spread much faster than Liu Feng expected, and even a low-level officer like Ma Jian had already heard about it.

However, this is exactly the effect that Liu Feng wants, he wishes that this matter would spread thousands of miles in a long way, so that everyone in the world will know how Liu Bei and his eldest brother treated this wronged adopted son.

Regarding Ma Yan's reminder, Liu Feng only smiled and said lightly: "For the sake of the overall situation, what is the personal temporary honor and disgrace, don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

Ma Jian knew Liu Feng's surname, and when he saw that he had made up his mind, he couldn't persuade him again, and remembered the business with emotion, so he said: "By the way, I have completed the deployment according to the previous plan, and I am waiting for the fish to take the bait." ”

"Very well, then let the brethren eat and drink well, and wait to see the show."

…………

Linxiang City.

When Huang Zhong led hundreds of troops, plus Han Xuan's hundreds of soldiers left the city to fight, Han Xuan, the Taishou, was not idle, he mobilized the rest of the nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses in Linxiang City, all of them went to the city to prepare for the battle, and he personally climbed the North Gate Tower to help Huang Zhong fight.

It's not so much about helping the war as it is about surveillance.

In Han Xuan's imagination, Huang Zhong will fight bravely under his supervision, and after a fight, even if he can't cut off Liu Feng's kid's head, at least he can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and then remove the threat of Changsha County.

But what Han Xuan didn't expect was that the expected fierce battle did not happen, and Huang Zhong instead had a one-man meeting with Liu Feng's kid in front of the two armies.

And because they were too far apart, Han Xuan couldn't hear what the two were talking about at all, but seeing that the two of them were laughing and saying goodbye later, it was like a long-lost reunion, seeing this, Han Xuan's face was getting longer and longer, and the haze in his heart became more and more thick.

What shocked Han Xuan the most was that after Liu Feng returned to his own formation, he actually led his troops to retreat north, and Huang Zhong did not wave his army in pursuit, but directly turned around and led the army back to Linxiang City.

'This Huang Zhong, what the hell are you doing! ’

Under the stabbing of this scene, Han Xuan immediately hurried down to the city, stopped Huang Zhong, who had just entered the city gate, and asked with a blue face: "General Huang, I ordered you to go out of the city to kill the enemy, why did you retreat without a fight?" ”

Huang Zhong saw Han Xuan's elongated face, thinking that he suspected that he was preserving his strength, but it was not easy to explain much in front of many people, so he said in a low voice: "Han Taishou, it is inconvenient to talk here, let's go back to the mansion and talk in detail." ”

Han Xuan was also afraid of disturbing the army's morale, so he had to temporarily forbear, while sending scouts out of the city to reconnoiter the movements of the enemy army, and on the other hand, he returned to the Taishou Mansion with Huang Zhong with a gloomy face.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Han Xuan couldn't wait to ask, "General Huang, what did that kid surnamed Liu tell you in the two armies?" ”

Huang Zhong had nothing to hide, and immediately said the conversation between him and Liu Feng at that time.

Huang Zhong's expression was frank, but Han Xuan's face was full of suspicion, and when he finished speaking, he snorted coldly, frowned, and said, "General Huang, did you just say this?" ”

Han Xuan's words and tone were already quite obvious, although Huang Zhong's political judgment was not strong, but as an old man in his sixties, how could he not even hear this strong suspicion.

Suddenly, a trace of coolness passed through Huang Zhong's heart, and he suddenly realized that today's solo riding meeting didn't seem to be appropriate. However, he asked himself if he was worthy of his heart, so he said with a straight face: "Han Taishou, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Han Xuan sneered, his tone was a little yin and yang, "Huang Hansheng, what kind of person is Liu Bei, that is a tiger and wolf, what kind of good kind can his son be, do you really think that I will be naΓ―ve to believe that that kid will promise you to write a letter to his father to persuade him to retire?" ”

Although Han Xuan's suspicion annoyed Huang Zhong's heart, it also reminded Huang Zhong, and gradually he began to realize that today's solo riding club may be a trap set by Liu Feng at all.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhong hurriedly said: "Regardless of whether Mrs. Han is trustworthy or not, Huang dares to swear to the sky, everything I said is true." I think that if Liu Feng is really lying, then his real purpose must be to make a divisive scheme, wanting to make Han Taishou suspicious of me, and implore Han Taishou not to fall for the other party's annihilation. ”

Today, how can you not make Han Xuan suspicious, but Han Xuan is not a brainless idiot, hearing Huang Zhong's self-defense, it seems to have some truth after thinking about it, and his ugly expression immediately retracted a little.

After pondering for a moment, Han Xuan suddenly looked proud, and said with a smile: "Old General Huang is reasonable, I almost fell for that boy surnamed Liu's plan." But I think that kid took the initiative to withdraw from the army, he must have wanted to sit back and wait for you and me to suspect infighting, so why don't we take advantage of his negligence to take precautions, and tonight the old general will lead the army to attack his camp at night, and he will definitely be able to defeat him in one fell swoop. ”
