Liu Qi's long sigh meant that he reluctantly accepted the facts in front of him.

Liu Feng secretly sighed, and his gaze moved to Xu Shu: "Mr. Yuanzhi, since my father has decided to go to Chibi with Wu Jun, what arrangements does he have for us." ”

The cold atmosphere was broken, Xu Shu suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "The others are still as they are, but I suggest to the lord that the eldest prince lead an infantry army to the west from Xiakou and enter the Lushan area in Jiangbei. ”

"Let me take the troops to Lushan?" Liu Feng was a little surprised by Xu Shu's suggestion.

Xu Shu stood up, pointed to the map hanging on the screen and said: "Lushan and Wulin are on the north bank of the Yangtze River, about more than 100 miles away from Wulin, although the mountains here are not very treacherous, but because they are close to Yunmengze, most of the roads along the river from Wulin to Lushan are muddy and difficult to walk, and Cao's army will basically not march from this direction." ”

Previously, Liu Feng thought that Xu Shu wanted him to lead troops to confront Cao Ying's main force, which really surprised him, but listening to his analysis, it seemed that this time the use of troops had no practical meaning at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Shu saw that he was a little disapproving, so he smiled and said: "Although this errand is easy, it is very significant, and the eldest prince should not be underestimated." ”

Liu Feng was stunned, looked at the map, and after thinking about it carefully, he really saw some famous names: "Sir, is this march related to the Battle of Chibi?" ”

"Hehe, almost. Although the lord followed Zhou Yu to Chibi, he didn't bring many soldiers and horses with him, so it was a bit unreasonable to want to share the work afterwards. That's why we have to plant a road of soldiers and horses in Lushan, nominally it can be said that they are fighting side by side with the Wu army, and the Cao army in Wulin is flanked by land and water, so that even if there is no fighting, it can be said that we have contained the Cao army from the land, and then if we come to share the merits, the lord will be more confident. ”

So that's the case, Liu Bei's performance in this play is really enough, it seems that he has an iron-hearted intention to let Wu Ren be the big one.

In this way, this errand is still a beautiful errand, not only do you not have to participate in the bloody battle to risk your life, but you can also sit back and take the credit for participating in the battle of Chibi, why did Xu Shu give it to me because of the beauty of the door that was given away for nothing? ’

Liu Feng looked away, and the corners of Xu Shuzheng's mouth were slightly raised, showing him a secret smile. Liu Feng suddenly understood that Xu Shu was grateful for his kindness to save his mother, and wanted to take this opportunity to let him make contributions as a reward.

Xu Shu's hard work really moved Liu Feng's heart, but he smiled bitterly in his heart: Zhi'en Tu Bao, Xu Shu, you really have a chivalrous style, but it's a pity that you don't understand my hardships.

The unspeakable hidden in his heart couldn't be said to Xu Shu, so Liu Feng had to say generously: "Since my father has orders, then I should go all out." But I don't have a lot of parts under my command, will my father give me additional people? ”

Mentioning this, Xu Shu looked embarrassed again: "Our army has few soldiers and horses, and now we have to fight against the Cao army on the North Road, and we have to defend Xiakou, so it is difficult to draw out extra soldiers and horses." The lord thought that the thousands of soldiers and horses of the prince of Zide had been used to spy on the Wu people, which seemed to be a bit wasteful, so the lord wondered if he could ......"

As soon as he heard this, Liu Feng understood, thinking that his father was really interesting enough to Liu Qi, a good nephew, and through Xu Shu's plan, he successively stripped Liu Qi's soldiers and horses to only two or three thousand, and now it was not enough, and he took this opportunity to attack Liu Qi again.

"Then transfer the five hundred elite soldiers of my Chinese army to Ah Feng, anyway, before the end of the war, I don't think I need to worry too much about the Wu people will betray the alliance, and it is indeed a bit of a waste that my soldiers and horses have been idle."

What surprised Liu Feng even more was that Liu Qi's reaction was to promise happily without waiting for Xu Shu to open his mouth, and he generously gave up his Chinese army.

A hint of pride flashed in Xu Shu's eyes, but Liu Feng was a little uncomfortable in his heart: "Brother, you can give me soldiers and horses, why bother to give me the pro-army." ”

Liu Qi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This time I went to Lushan, although it was just a feint, but in the end, I still have to be careful, although my five hundred elite soldiers are not as elite as the soldiers and horses trained by my uncle, but they are all strong men, with them to protect Ah Feng you, I can rest assured." ”

Liu Qi, who didn't know the inside story at all, at this time, even imagined for him like this, and Liu Feng at this time, a strong warmth in his heart arose.

Xu Shu's eyes also flashed a complicated look, whether it was surprise, regret, or a little uneasy.

However, the ripples in his heart disappeared in an instant, and Xu Shu nodded and said: "Zide Gongzi knows the overall situation like this, it is really commendable, this heart of the eldest prince should not refuse." ”

Xu Shu was behind Liu Qi, and secretly squeezed his eyebrows at him, and Liu Feng had to say: "Okay, thank you brother." ”

"Although these 500 soldiers and horses are few, after the eldest prince set up camp, he can set up more banners and bluff, so that Cao Jun does not dare to despise it, and it is also played by Wu people, so that they think that we have made a bloody investment."

"I know, I don't know when to go." Liu Feng still knows this common sense.

"I estimate that at the latest, Wu Jun will fight Cao Jun in Chibi, and the eldest prince can set off a little later, but he will try to start within three or five days."

After a meeting in the middle of the river, the Sun-Liu joint battle plan was finalized. On the same day, Liu Bei passed through the summer pass without entering, and after the afternoon, he continued to trace the west with the Wu fleet. On the Xiakou side, Xu Shu immediately transmitted Liu Bei's latest order to Guan Yu in the upper reaches of the Han River, as well as the Jiangxia Zhuwenwu, and immediately launched the pre-war mobilization work.

Xiakou City, too shou mansion.

In the lobby, there was an endless stream of people, and in front of the red Zhu case, Mi Zhu was sitting on the desk and commenting on one official document after another.

Ten days ago, at the suggestion of Xu Shu, Mi Zhu was appointed by Liu Qi as the Gongcao of Jiangxia County, and now Liu Bei is outside, Kong Ming is still in Chaisang, and Xu Shu is busy with the military in the north.

At present, the most important thing is to provide food, grass and military supplies for Jiangxia's 20,000 soldiers and horses, these jobs Mi Zhu is very good at, he was born as a big businessman, and it was his strength to manage and take care of money and grain, since he followed Liu Bei in Xuzhou, he has been taking care of this work for Liu Bei.

Just after approving an official document, a heavy footstep sounded, and a person walked in outside the door. Mi Zhu thought that he was an official who submitted official documents again, but when he looked up, his expression suddenly became solemn.

The person who came in was his younger brother Mi Fang, who was still holding a clay pot in his arms.

"You go down first, Hugh will come and disturb you without my summons." Mi Zhu sent the left and right subordinates, he got up and closed the doors and windows of the lobby, stared at his dusty brother, and asked in a low voice, "Has Xiaomei's body been found?" ”

Bang!

With a dull impact, Mi Fang, who looked gloomy, put the clay pot in her arms on the Zhu case, her shriveled lips squirmed slightly, and she silently spit out three words: "Here." ”
