The enthusiasm that had been silent for two years was once again ignited by Liu Feng's ambition at this moment.

Everyone's eyes fell on the young lord, and they seemed to have returned to two years ago, the moment when Liu Feng announced the incident, the excitement and excitement that had been there had returned to them.

After an impassioned shout of war, Liu Ba said: "Lord, now is indeed the best time to take Jingzhou, but although Liu Bei has transferred a large number of main forces, Guan Yu still has 20,000 soldiers in his hands, and there are no less than 500 naval warships, and the strength is comparable to ours, and even has a slight advantage. ”

Liu Ba was a 100% staunch promoter of the war against Liu Bei, but this did not affect his continued prudence.

At this time, Ma Jian stood up and said: "The Jingzhou that Liu Bei is based on, the southern county is the most important, as long as we can concentrate our forces to take the southern county, not only can we block Liu Bei's way back, but the rest of the counties will inevitably surrender without a fight." Therefore, I think that the key to this battle is how to quickly capture Nangun. ”

Ma Tan's statement is obviously that he has a plan in his heart.

Liu Feng understood and said happily: "What you often said is very true, but you have to get Nan County, Jingzhou Xiping, as for how to take Nan County, you must have a good plan in your heart." ”

Ma Tan did not hesitate, and said bluntly: "The weight of Nanjun is only in Jiangling, and the public security on the south bank is the barrier of Jiangling, so I think that our army should quickly take the public security with a strange strategy, and then attack Jiangling with a large army. ”

Jiangling and Gong'an, these two cities are indeed the core of Nanjun, and Ma Tan's words hit the nail on the head.

"Recently, it is reported that Guan Yu has set up a lot of beacon towers along the river, as long as our army moves, Guan Yu can be reported immediately, and then don't say that we can't attack the two cities, Guan Yu may even take the initiative to counterattack by virtue of the advantage of the navy. Young, your strategy is easy to say, but I'm afraid it's hard to do. ”

Ma Yan's ability in military strategy is obviously beyond that of Liu Ba, and Liu Ba can only put forward his concerns, but there is no solution, but this time, his concerns are not unreasonable.

Guan Yu is a famous general in the world, Liu Bei dares to keep him to guard Jingzhou, there must be a reason that he can trust, no matter anything else, just with the beacon tower strategy that Liu Ba just said, it proves that Guan Yu has really put his mind on guarding against Liu Feng.

At this time, even Ma Jian was speechless, he could come up with a surprise attack, but in the face of Guan Yu's strict defense, he had nothing to do for a while.

Liu Ba's scruples, Ma Tan's strategy for using troops, in fact, in the past two years, Liu Feng and Pang Tong have studied it privately many times, and the situation today has long been expected by the two of them, as for how to deal with it, in fact, Liu Feng has long been in his chest.

"Mr. Shiyuan, I don't know what you think?" Liu Feng turned his gaze to Pang Tong, who had been smiling lightly.

In order to establish Pang Tong's prestige among the bureaucrats, at such a critical moment, Liu Feng of course wanted to give Pang Tong this opportunity to show his face and conspire.

Pang Tong stroked his short beard lightly, and his two slit-like eyes revealed a mysterious light, as if he was already strategizing, and all kinds of calculations were already under his control.

When Liu Feng asked, Pang Tong stood up, glanced around at everyone, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, how to seize Jingzhou, I Pang Tong already has a good plan in my chest." The most crucial step in this is probably with the help of your first name. ”

"Me?" Liu Ba looked stunned, and suddenly looked puzzled.

……………… Wuling, on the bank of Xiongxi.

In the night, the majestic middle-aged man sat quietly on a big rock by the stream, letting his dark curly hair fall loosely over his shoulders, looking up at the starry night sky.

In the sky, thin clouds were gathering so fast that even the bravest birds were gone.

The wind rose, swept through the rolling mountains, shook the layers of forests, and the rustling sound of the mountains became louder and louder, and the sound of the stream in the ears converged, gradually forming a loud sound like the waves.

The man seemed to be immersed in the strangeness of the night.

This barbarian king of Wuxi is tall, muscular, majestic and mighty like a fierce lion, and his angular face exudes a primitive heroic surname. There was a chill in his eyes that were as cold as ice.

There was a smell of meat in his nose, and Shamoko glanced back, but in the camp, the bonfires flickered everywhere like stars, and the clansmen were roasting the prey they had just caught on the fire, and under the light of the fire, in addition to the smoke rising from the fire, there were also the cheerful smiling faces of the clansmen.

It's been three years, and this is the third year since Shamoke succeeded to the throne of the Wuxi Barbarian King.

The origin of Wuxi Man is because they live on the banks of five streams in the upper reaches of Yuanshui, which are Xiongxi, Zhangxi, Chenxi, Youxi and Wuxi. Among them, the Xiongxi tribe is the most powerful, so with the strength of the tribe, three years ago, Shamoke was elected as the leader by the five tribes.

Wuxi Man is the title of the Han people for them, and they themselves call themselves Wuxi people, and their leader is called Dawang.

In the past three years, Shamoke has relied on his own means to deal with the three Wuling Taishou appointed by Liu Biao, Cao Ying, and Liu Bei, greatly reducing the amount of taxes that the five tribes need to pay.

Shamoko's reputation among the tribes grew, and he was deeply loved by the tribesmen, but for some reason the tribesmen found that their king always liked to be alone at night, and it seemed that there was still an unknown melancholy in his heart.

"My lord, Liu Ba of Changsha has sent a secret envoy to ask to see the king." A young man interrupted Shamoko's thoughts.

Liu Ba is a famous man of Lingling, and Lingling is similar to the folk customs of Wuling, even the local barbarians have a little more respect for this famous man of Lingling.

Hearing Liu Ba's name, Sha Kemo's expression moved, jumped down from the boulder, and walked towards the camp with the wind.

Outside the leather tent, a group of elderly people with disheveled hair sat around the fire, and several Wuxi girls in leather skirts were smiling and offering freshly roasted mutton to the polite Han scholars.

Wuxi people value righteousness, and have always paid attention to the fact that others respect me an inch, and I respect others by a foot. The Han family officials here have always been disdainful of the Wuxi barbarians, and it is rare to have such a Han scholar who can treat them so kindly and politely, these Wuxi girls are happy in their hearts, and they naturally serve happily.

After a while, Shamoko stepped forward, and all the people got up and called out "Great King", and Shamoko waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and he sat down on the tiger skin seat set up for him in the middle.

When the scribe saw that the barbarian king had arrived, he hurriedly got up and bowed: "In Xia Chen Zhen, I have seen the king." ”

Shamoko only nodded slightly, which was considered a return salute. His eyes were like a sharp edge, he glanced Chen Zhen up and down, and said coldly: "I heard that you came to see this king on the order of Liu Ba, is there anything wrong?" ”

In the eyes of the Han people, it is extremely rude to speak in such a tone and call Liu Ba by his name, but there are not so many rules in the barbarians, and they all want to speak straightforwardly.

Chen Zhen didn't think so, only smiled faintly, took out a silk book from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "Mr. Zichu has a secret letter for me to pass it on to the king, please look at it." ”

Shamoke waved his hand, "This king is illiterate, what is the eye, you can read it out loud to this king." ”

Chen Zhen was also dealing with these barbarians for the first time, and he was obviously a little uncomfortable with this straightforward way of communication, so he coughed a few times to hide his inner embarrassment.

After a pause, Chen Zhen unfolded the silk book and read it out loud in front of many people.

Liu Ba is a contemporary celebrity, and his letters are written in eloquent words, but "those who are also in the field" have been for a long time, but Shamoke has not understood half of the sentences.

Listening to this, Shamoke said impatiently: "What the hell is written in Liu Ba's letter, this king can't understand a word, what does he want to say, you simply say it to this king." ”

Chen Zhen had no choice but to put the letter away, glanced at the left and right, and then stepped forward and lowered his voice: "King, this matter is confidential, can you talk to the king alone." ”

Shamoke looked displeased and said loudly: "Our brothers and sisters of Wuxi people treat each other sincerely, and there is nothing to hide from each other, you can rest assured that it is." ”

With such a barbarian surname, Chen Zhen had no choice, if he hesitated any longer, he would seem to have lost his courage.

At that moment, Chen Zhen cleared his throat and said loudly: "Actually, Mr. Zichu's letter is on the order of my general Zhennan, and I want to ask the king to do his best to raise the troops of Wuxi and attack Linyuan, where Wuling is governed, and my general will raise troops to respond." ”

Although Shamoke didn't have much culture, he could still understand Chen Zhen's words, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, and the barbarian elders on the left and right also changed color.

Shamoke was surprised in his heart, but his face was calm, and he laughed and said: "Your General Liu wants me to betray Uncle Liu, then I want to ask, I betrayed Uncle Liu, what benefits can your general give us Wuxi people?" ”

The barbarian is really a barbarian, and he can claim benefits so straightforwardly.

Chen Zhen had already prepared, and replied very simply: "If the king can raise troops to help my general seize Wuling County, my general will naturally have a lot of rewards, and these rewards are still what you dream of, the king." ”

"Hehe, I'd like to hear what your general can do in return." The corners of Shamoko's mouth slanted, as if he was a little disbelieving.

It's no wonder that in Shamoke's eyes, Liu Feng is just a small prince who only occupies two counties, and compared to Liu Bei, who is "wealthy", what kind of gratitude can he have.

Chen Zhen was in no hurry to explain Liu Feng's conditions.

After listening to Chen Zhen's conditions, the surrounding elders couldn't help but show joy on their faces, and even Shamoke, who was still unimpressed before, couldn't help but have a look of excitement in his eyes at this moment.
