Chapter 151: Living Up to Expectations
"Ashamed, ashamed."
After Liu Bei humbled himself, the atmosphere in the room gradually became harmonious. Liu Bei then asked: "The hearts of the people in Jingzhou are unstable, but I don't know when Marquis Wu plans to hand over Nanjun. ”
Lu Su said: "Since Wu Hou has made a decision, he naturally wants to complete the delivery as soon as possible, Liu Yuanjun may wish to go back to Jingzhou first to make preparations, and it is not too late for the two parties to communicate about the specific delivery." ”
Liu Bei knew very well that even if Sun Quan planned to borrow Nanjun, he would still have to spend some time to appease Zhou Yu and the soldiers in Jingzhou, but Liu Bei was not worried, with Sun Quan's methods, since he was determined to lend Nanjun, he was 100% confident that he would suppress the dissatisfaction below.
"Okay, then I'll leave for the police as soon as possible."
After the two exchanged a few more polite words, Lu Su got up and said goodbye. When he came out, Pang Tong also came out of Liu Feng's room, and the two went out of the pavilion together.
"Shi Yuan, how did General Liu react?" Lu Su asked first.
Pang Tong said: "Wu Hou Ken married General Liu, he was naturally very excited, but when he heard that Wu Hou was going to lend Nanjun to Liu Xuande, he was very displeased. ”
"Second Liu is a mortal enemy, after Liu Xuande borrowed it to Nanjun, his strength will inevitably multiply, and it is reasonable for him to be dissatisfied, but for him, he should be satisfied if he can survive and marry Wu Hou." Lu Su said disapprovingly.
"This matter, I'm afraid it's not as simple as Zijing thought, I'm still worried about this Liu Feng." Pang Tong's face was worried.
Pang Tong's expression looked solemn, and Lu Su's mood immediately became nervous, "Now that the checks and balances in Jingzhou have been formed, I don't know what else you have to worry about, Shiyuan?" ”
"Liu Feng married Wu Hou, Liu Xuande naturally didn't dare to do anything to him in the future, but this doesn't mean that Liu Feng would not take this as a fear, but stabbed Liu Xuande in the back, Zijing, you can't help but take this into account."
Wake up with a word, Lu Su's expression changed suddenly, and he suddenly thought that he had indeed neglected this, knowing that Liu Feng could turn Jingnan upside down, it means that he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if he relies on the identity of Sun's son-in-law in the future, and in turn to target Liu Xuande, it will inevitably cause instability in Jingzhou, which is naturally not in line with Lu Su's strategy of defending the west and advancing eastward.
"I'm negligent in this matter, but the overall situation has been decided, does Shiyuan have a good way to remedy it?" Lu Su looked a little anxious.
Seeing Lu Su's anxious look, Pang Tong laughed and wrote lightly: "This matter is easy." When I talked to that Liu Feng before, he admired me very much, and wanted me to give advice to him, so Zijing might as well make a suggestion to Wu Hou that I would go to Changsha in the name of sending my relatives in the future, and take the opportunity to stay by Liu Feng's side. In this way, I can justifiably monitor Liu Feng, if he makes any changes, I can make a hindrance from it, I don't know if Zijing thinks it is feasible? ”
Lu Su secretly thought that Pang Tong was a resourceful man, if he could be placed by Liu Feng's side, with his cunning, he would definitely be able to play Liu Feng in the palm of his hand.
Thinking of this, Lu Su said happily: "What Shiyuan said is indeed a wonderful move, and I will make a statement to Wu Hou when I go back." As long as Shiyuan can stabilize Liu Feng, such a great achievement, I will recommend it to Wu Hou in the future, and Shiyuan you will be reused. ”
In Lu Su's view, Pang Tong abandoned Zhou Yu and moved closer to him, and even now took the initiative to ask to spy on Liu Feng and help him fill in the gaps, just to use his own recommendation to get attention from Wu Hou, so he took the opportunity to lure him with such benefits.
"Then thank you Zijing." Pang Tong expressed his gratitude very sincerely.
………………
The big event has been decided, and after visiting Sun Quan again, Liu Feng set off for Changsha.
Miss Sun is the sister of Wu Hou, although this marriage has been decided, but the process can not be perfunctory, after Liu Feng returned to Changsha, he also sent someone to prepare a heavy bride price, and went to Moling again to ask for marriage, and then Dongwu will send Miss Sun to Linxiang to complete the marriage.
Moreover, it has been a long time since he left Changsha, and Liu Feng can't wait to go back to preside over the overall situation, so as not to play any tricks in this vacuum period.
According to the normal route, Liu Feng should take a boat from Moling, take the waterway against the river to the west, go to Baqiu through Chaisang, and then turn from Baqiu to Xiangshui and reach Linxiang.
However, this section of the route from Chaisang to Baqiu, Jiangxia on the north bank is still Liu Bei's control zone, in order to prevent accidents, Liu Feng did not take the conventional route, but according to Pang Tong's suggestion, after arriving in Chaisang, he changed to take land and water to Lukou, bypassing Liu Bei's defense area, and then taking the land route south to Linxiang.
Ten days later, after traveling thousands of miles, Liu Feng finally saw Linxiang City.
The flood-soaked city is now scarred, and from a distance, it looks like a critically ill person.
Liu Feng can imagine what kind of suffering Linxiang City has experienced during the time he left, but now it seems that Liu Ba and Huang Zhong did not disappoint him, and the dilapidated Linxiang City still stood there and held out until his return.
It was past the middle of summer, the Hunan water was weakening, and the water surrounding the city had gradually receded. As for the Jiangxia army outside the city, it should have been strictly ordered by Liu Bei not to attack the city, so the camp has retreated to the shore of Xiangshui, and the momentum of forcing the city to be under the city in the past is gone.
Although the ground is muddy, the Lu Shenju ridden by Liu Feng is like walking on the ground, and before dusk, one person and one ride go straight to the north gate of Linxiang.
When the guards on duty in the city saw that it was the return of General Zhennan, they were naturally surprised, and hurriedly put down the drawbridge, opened the city gate and let Liu Feng put it inside.
The news of Liu Feng's return quickly spread throughout the city, and Linxiang City, which was lifeless and demoralized, soon boiled because of Liu Feng's return.
When Liu Ba, Huang Zhong, Ma Tan and others heard the news, they put down what they were doing as soon as possible, and rushed to the north gate with excitement.
"My lord, you have finally returned safely." Ma Yan's voice trembled a little, he was not easy to control his emotions when he was young, and he was already in tears at the moment.
Liu Feng's mood was also quite surging, and he nodded heavily, "Well, I'm back, you have worked hard." Wu Hou has already agreed to marry me, and we have finally survived this pass. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was instantly relieved.
With their trust in Liu Feng, they worked hard to support them in such adversity, and now, all their efforts have not been in vain, and the person they are loyal to has not disappointed them.
Liu Feng glanced at the excited crowd and found that he couldn't see Liu Qi, so he asked, "Brother Zide, why don't you see him?" ”
As soon as Liu Qi was mentioned, everyone's happy and excited expressions immediately faded a little, and Liu Ba leaned forward and whispered in his ear: "My lord, Zi Dezhou Mu He is seriously ill and is currently bedridden. ”
