The matter of the elephant soldiers is still in the stage of exploration, so leave it to Zhao Yun to manage, just think of a way.

After Liu Feng watched some training methods for elephants in the pasture, he got into a carriage and returned to Xiling City.

Xiling City, outside the palace of General Yang Wu.

As soon as Liu Feng got off the carriage, he listened to the report of the soldier.

"My lord, half an hour ago, there was a man who asked to see the general, and then Mrs. Cai received him, and now he is in the hall of the front yard."

"Mrs. Cai?" Liu Feng frowned, but he had a premonition of who was coming.

Nodding, Liu Feng walked briskly towards the hall.

When Liu Feng stepped into the hall, he saw Cai Mao. and Cai Yu sitting on the side, Cai Da's second daughter.

Cai Mao was dressed in civilian clothes with a faint smile on her face.

Cai Yu, Cai Da's second daughter, has completely recovered from postpartum weakness after several months of recuperation.

At this moment, the second daughter also had a smile on her face and talked to Cai Mao.

"Feng'er is back?" Liu Feng's footsteps attracted the attention of the three of them, and they raised their heads one after another. Seeing that the person who came was Liu Feng, Cai Mao smiled and said.

"Well, I'm done out there." Liu Feng nodded, did not step forward to sit on the main seat, but went straight to Cai Mao's side, knelt down and said.

"There's a lot of movement these days." Looking at this son-in-law, Cai Mao was extremely satisfied and praised him.

It's not small. Cai Mao doesn't know much about the entanglement between Jiangxia and Jiangdong, but the immigration of hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people is a big deal.

The movement is as big as the sky.

Everyone knows that Jiangdong is vast and sparsely populated, and it is self-evident that these Shanyue people have important surnames in Jiangdong.

But he was brought by Liu Feng alive. Sun Quan didn't let out a single fart.

When something like this happened, Cai Mao came over after discussing it with Kuai Yue.

Liu Feng has proven his potential and ability infinitely. Cai Mao came to Jiangxia this time, and the picture was not small.

"It's just relying on foresight to hoard grain and grass on a large scale. Just control the lifeblood of Jiangdong. Liu Feng smiled slightly and said.

"Being humble is a good thing, but being too modest is a bad thing. Prophetic vision. It's amazing. Cai Mao said with a smile.

In Cai Mao's heart, he thought that Liu Feng was so knowledgeable that he could guess that there would be floods through a series of situations.

Therefore it is admiration, not awe.

"Father-in-law reminds me." Liu Feng's expression remained unchanged and raised his fists.

Modesty, just being modest in front of Cai Mao and others. He was never humble in front of others.

"You two, as soon as you meet, it's business, business. It's not like the situation when Weng and his son-in-law meet at all. On the side, Cai Yu saw the words of the two, snorted coquettishly, and said.

"Giggles." Cai Da covered her mouth and smiled.

Cai Yu is Cai Mao's younger sister, and Cai Mao always has a guilt about Cai Yu. I couldn't get angry at all, and I just smiled bitterly when I heard the words.

Liu Feng glanced at Cai Yu and said softly: "Now is not the time to play around, I will talk about business with my father-in-law first, and you take Da'er down first." ”

A fluttering sentence, but in Cai Yu's ears, there was an undoubted taste.

Family affairs are family affairs, and business affairs are business affairs. Cai Yu even if he messed around again at this time, Liu Feng would definitely be angry, and the consequences would be very serious.

"Hmph, what's the big deal." Cai Yu let out a cold snort, but her body still got up obediently, and Cai Da, who was getting up by her colleague, walked out together.

A hint of incredulity flashed in Cai Mao's eyes, this sister is so obedient.

Liu Feng was not very surprised in his heart, although Cai Yu's woman loves to mess around, she is very general.

After Cai Yu's second daughter left, Liu Feng asked softly: "The irrelevant ones are gone, if you have anything to say, my father-in-law will say it directly." ”

Cai Mao's identity is sensitive, and she rarely goes to Jiangxia in person. And this time I came in person, and I came in secret.

Liu Feng knew that it must not be a trivial matter.

"I need 200,000 stone of food for disaster relief." With the birth of Liu Wei and Liu Chang, the relationship between the two is really unbreakable. Therefore, Cai Mao said very bluntly.

"Yes, but I have one condition." Liu Feng also said calmly.

"I know what you want, Jingnan Four Counties, right?" Cai Mao asked with a smile. said, without waiting for Liu Feng to answer, he spoke again: "This time, you made a big fuss." Since defeating Zhou Yu, Kuai Yue and I have been constantly facing you and paying attention to you. But time and time again, you have overturned the importance we place on you. Defeated Cao Ren, conquered Jiangdong, and, this time, the soldiers obtained hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people without blood. Relying on this time, I finally persuaded Kuai Yue to give you a chance. Opportunities to grow yourself. ”

"A chance to fight Cao Ying."

These words, especially the last sentence, Cai Mao was staring at Liu Feng and saying it. I couldn't hide my excitement in my look.

Since listening to Huang Chengyan's words and marrying his daughter to Liu Feng, Cai Mao has firmly believed step by step that Liu Feng can achieve great things. It also began to constantly influence Kuaiyue, and finally, at one time, finally persuaded Kuaiyue.

Liu Feng originally wanted to say, I only want Wuling County, but Cai Mao's words were like a series of cannons, and once the surname was said, Liu closed his mouth.

In the end, Liu Feng didn't want to speak.

Cai Mao persuaded Kuai Yue to give him all the four counties of Jingnan? There are still such good things in the world. It's strange to refuse. However, Liu Feng is indeed sincere to Cai Mao.

There is still a hidden worry in my heart, after thinking about it for a while. Liu Feng opened his mouth and said: "If you give me the four counties of Jingnan, Cao Ying may not let you go." ”

Cai Mao, and Kuai Yue are from the Cao faction, which is unshakable. Because of the clan, although Cai Mao believed in him, he would not risk such a big clan.

If Cai Mao surrendered to Cao, he also gave him the four counties of Jingnan. Liu Feng was afraid that Cao Ying would be unfavorable to Cai Mao.

Seeing that her son-in-law cared about herself, Cai Mao felt a sense of satisfaction rise in her heart. It's not in vain, I help him like this.

"Don't worry about this, I have discussed it with Kuai Yue and judged it. As long as Kuai Yue and I offer Xiangyang, Jiangling, Shangyong, and the tens of thousands of sailors left by Liu Biao, it will already be a great achievement. Cao Ying won't kill us. Saying that, Cai Mao glanced at Liu Feng and said with a smile: "Even if you raise troops to fight against him because you are my son-in-law, at most you will only snub me, not deal with me." ”

"There's one more point."

Liu Feng raised his head and looked at Cai Mao when he heard this, waiting for the following.

"The four counties of Jingnan, our control is already very weak, Jin Xuan, Zhao Fan, Liu Du and others have their own cities, soldiers, and their forces are not small. If you want to control them, you'll have to send troops on your own. In other words, you have attacked four counties. It's your ability, but it's also our incompetence. It's not that I mean to give up the four counties to you. Cai Mao said meaningfully.

Liu Feng suddenly realized in his heart that Cai Mao's method was good, but he was clean. No wonder Kuai Yue agreed.

"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded, and there were no more doubts in his heart.

Jingnan four counties, Changsha, Wuling, Guiyang, Lingling. Except for Changsha, the rest of the population is quite large.

That adds up to about half a million. In addition, the population of Jiangxia, Jiujiang and other three counties is 800,000, and the population of Shanyue is 600,000.

That's 1.9 million.

In terms of hard power, it can completely surpass Jiangdong.

Moreover, the success of the four counties of Jingnan is very important for Liu Feng. Because that's the prospect of the first time in the wilderness.

Under the four counties of Jingnan, gather 100,000 troops, and then wave troops north.

Now, finally, it can be achieved. At this moment, it is difficult for anyone to understand the excitement in Liu Feng's heart.

"There is one more thing, you have to promise me, no, it is to promise Kuaiyue." Cai Mao said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter?" Liu Feng suddenly cleared his mind and asked calmly.

"If you can really fight against Cao Ying and wave your troops north to attack Xiangyang, you must ensure the existence of the Kuai clan." Cai Mao said solemnly.

"No problem." Liu Feng knows that there is no free lunch in the world, this is the condition of Kuai Yue, the condition that cannot be refused. Therefore, Liu Feng nodded solemnly.

Seeing that Liu Feng agreed without hesitation, Cai Mao had a smile on her face. Immediately, he couldn't help but say: "Don't worry, Kuai Yue and I are not ignorant people. As long as the clan inheritance is kept alive, it will no longer pursue that extreme power. ”

This can be regarded as Cai Mao's guarantee.

It is guaranteed that there will be no behemoths like Liu Biao's reign, Cai's and Kuai's.

Liu Feng actually doesn't care about this. Before you have Jing Chu, it is really a bit ambitious to consider such a complex issue.

However, Liu Feng was also happy to accept Cai Mao's assurance.

borrowed food, and vaguely asked Liu Feng to attack the four counties of Jingnan by himself, Cai Mao's purpose for coming this time was almost completed.

Next, it's not a business.

Liu Feng held a family banquet in the mansion and entertained Cai Mao. Originally, Liu Feng wanted to leave Cai Mao to live for a few days, but Cai Mao took into account the sensitivity of his identity and secretly left that night.

At night, in the backyard of General Yang Wu, in Cai Yu's house.

After Liu Feng bathed and changed clothes, he came to the back room.

In the back room, Cai Yu had already undressed and lay on the bed. After Liu Feng came in, he lifted the quilt and lay in.

It's winter now, and Cai Yu is in the quilt, which is very warm. Liu Feng subconsciously hugged Cai Yu's waist and leaned over.

Cai Yu let Liu Feng hold him, squinting his eyes.

"What did my brother talk to you about during the day?" Cai Yu suddenly asked.

During the day, Liu Feng didn't give Cai Yu face, but at night, when the husband and wife were lying in a bed, Liu Feng still gave Cai Yu face.

smiled slightly, and retold what happened during the day.

"Isn't it too much of a rush?" Cai Yu frowned and asked.

"Well, that's what I thought too. The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and only after digesting hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people did it before considering doing it. Liu Feng nodded and said.

Although he covets the four counties of Jingnan, he is very calm.

"Hmm." Cai Yu put her mind at ease, she just asked casually, and saw that Liu Feng was very calm and not impatient at all. also put his mind at ease, and at this time, sleepiness swelled up, Cai Yu closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Listening to Cai Yu's steady breathing in his arms, Liu Feng smiled slightly and closed his eyes.
