Chapter 140: A stab in the back
Syllable!
The door was slammed shut by Liu Feng's backhand, and the loud sound shook the group of people opposite.
Liu Bei's face was flushed with anger at the moment, and he tried his best to calm down his anger, looking at the figure shaking in the opposite room, he suddenly had an impulse, and he wanted to immediately lead his men to rush in and chop the rebel who had repeatedly humiliated him into slices.
"Lord, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, this is on Wu Hou's territory, we must not act rashly." Sun Qian, who followed out, persuaded.
"Sun Zhongmou! What kind of heart does this kid have? Liu Bei was furious and turned the finger to Sun Quan again.
Sun Gan's expression changed, and he hurried forward, lowered his voice and reminded him almost in a whisper: "My lord, if you talk too much, you will lose, be careful that the wall has ears." ”
After this reminder, Liu Bei suddenly sobered up a little, as the anger gradually subsided, Liu Bei's emotions calmed down again, weighing the pros and cons, although the huge disaster was imminent, but in order to take care of the overall situation, Liu Bei still decided to restrain his indignation.
"Hmph, you go and contact me immediately, and be sure to ask Wu Hou to meet with me as soon as possible." Liu Bei dropped such a cold sentence, brushed his sleeves and returned to the room sullenly.
is different from the attitude towards Liu Fengshi, Liu Bei said that he had just arrived in Moling today, and early in the morning, Wuhou Sun Quan sent someone to invite him to the military palace for a gathering.
On a sunny morning, Liu Bei finally met the lord of Jiangdong who had never met him and was more than twenty years younger than him in the same meeting hall.
In Liu Bei's view, although Sun Quan is also a hero, if he has to be ranked, he is at most a second-rate separatist, compared to first-class overlords such as Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, both in terms of ability and bearing, he is much inferior.
Liu Bei is very comfortable dealing with those people, let alone a Sun Quan.
Sure enough, in between conversations, Liu Bei quickly turned a passive meeting that came to the door to ask for help, and quietly turned it into a reminiscence of a year-old friend.
"Zhou Dudu once told Bei that when he heard that General Bo Fu died young, he entrusted the foundation of Jiangdong to General Zhongmou you, he originally thought that General You are young and difficult to take on a big responsibility, but only thinking of the friendship with General Bo Fu, he had to support General You. But later, the general you worked hard, showed the posture of the master everywhere, and governed Jiangdong to the talents, the country was rich and the people were strong, and the governor of Zhou was impressed by the general from then on. When I heard these words, I admired the general very much, and now I finally see it, which is really a blessing for three lives. ”
Liu Bei used "Zhou Yu's words" to praise Sun Quan, where did Zhou Yu tell him those words, he made them up blindly, and the deep meaning in those words also implied that Zhou Yu was not convinced by Sun Quan at the beginning, and the provocative meaning of this is already obvious.
Sun Quan is not an idiot, Liu Bei's words are somewhat true, some are false, he can still distinguish one or two, he smiled at the moment, and said humbly: "Xuande has won the award, in fact, Jiangdong today, although there is a piece of my hard work, but it is also inseparable from the dedication of virtuous ministers such as Gongjin, it can be said that the strength of Jiangdong is the result of my single-mindedness." ”
In the face of Liu Bei's praise and provocation, Sun Quan was unmoved.
"General Zhongmou is reasonable, like Zhou Lang, a virtuous minister with both civil and military skills, is indeed rare in the world, want him to fight in Chibi, Cao Ying was frightened, Jiangling battle, and Cao Ren was killed in embarrassment and fled, and now he is in Jingzhou, it can be said that his prestige is spread far and wide in China. Bei once heard that Cao Ying also sent Jiang Gan to Jiangling not long ago to persuade Zhou Lang to surrender, although Cao Ying is a hero, but he has always known people, even Cao Ying attaches so much importance to Zhou Lang, it can be seen that the general can have such a virtuous minister, it is really enviable. ”
Jiang Gan was Zhou Yu's classmate, and it was also a matter of Cao Ying's order to persuade Zhou Yu to surrender, but in the end Zhou Yu sternly refused, and Sun Quan's eyes and ears also reported this matter to him. This was not an unusual thing, but now Liu Bei first praised Zhou Yu wantonly, and then said it with him, which sounded a little unusual.
Sun Quan just took a sip of tea and smiled without saying a word. In Liu Bei's view, this is to imply that what he just said cut into Sun Quan's mind.
Liu Bei got up with tea, moved closer to Sun Quan, his expression became a little solemn, and said in a low voice: "General Zhongmou, you and I have joined forces to reject Cao Thief, speaking of which is already a family, since it is my own person, I have to remind the general if I have a sentence, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
"Since it's your own family, what is there to scruple about, Xuande doesn't hurt to say it." Sun Quan also seemed to be curious about Liu Bei's mysteries.
Liu Bei glanced left and right, Sun Quan understood, and ordered the people serving on the left and right to retreat for the time being.
After being left without ears and eyes, Liu Bei coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Zhou Lang's prestige is already prosperous, and his soldiers are all subdued, and he has taken most of Jingzhou, but now he is secretly using means to not let me attack Linxiang City, it seems that he has the intention of secretly connecting Liu Feng, if the two of them join forces, the entire Jingzhou will be in Zhou Lang's hands." Beiguan Zhou Lang has always been ambitious, and he is not a long-time resident, so General Zhongmou must be guarded against. ”
When these words came out, even Sun Quan, who was very deep in the city, couldn't help but flash a trace of horror in his eyes. Obviously, Sun Quan said that Zhou Yu was his most trusted general, but in fact, he didn't think so in his heart.
As an outsider, he took the initiative to come to the door to say "bad words" about Zhou Yu, and after these words came out, the atmosphere immediately became a little subtle.
Liu Bei felt that Sun Quan had been touched, and in order to avoid embarrassment to the other party, he used the excuse of convenience to temporarily leave the council hall and go to the toilet.
When he turned to the back, Sun Gan, who was waiting outside, hurriedly followed, and Liu Bei knew that Sun Gan must have something to say, so he stopped at the corner where there was no one.
"Lord, how are you talking?" Sun Qian asked.
Liu Bei was a little proud, "I told all the words given by the general and the division to that Wu Hou, this person is very deep in the city, and he is very well disguised, but I can still see that he was moved by what I said." ”
"That's good." Sun Qian nodded, and said: "I also took the opportunity to inquire, just yesterday, Wu Hou also met with Liu Feng, but the purpose of Liu Feng's coming here is a little different from what we speculated before. ”
Liu Bei frowned: "Didn't Liu Feng come to ask Wu Hou to mediate?" ”
"He did not directly ask Wu Hou to mediate, but proposed that he wanted to ask to marry Wu's sister Miss Sun as his wife."
"What?" Liu Bei was taken aback.
Liu Bei is not worried that Sun Quan will mediate from it, even if the mediation is successful this time, as long as he can borrow it to Nanjun, he can find an excuse in the future, and he can finally kill Liu Feng. But if Liu Feng and Sun Quan have become relatives and have this relationship, it means that unless Sun Quan nods, even if he Liu Bei has a gorgeous excuse, he can't touch a single hair of Liu Feng.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei realized the seriousness of the problem, and pondered for a long time, his expression as if he had made some kind of decision.
"Since Liu Feng wants to marry that Miss Sun, it seems that our plan has to be adjusted."
