Chapter Thirty-Nine: There is no best, only better

The first update of the new year, I wish you all 2012 all your wishes come true.

――――――

The owner of this note boldly predicted that if Cao Ying led his army south to occupy Jingzhou in the future, then a war with Eastern Wu would be inevitable, and if Eastern Wu wanted to avoid passivity in terms of geographical advantages, he must seize Chibi before Cao Ying and force Cao Ying to conduct a decisive battle on the water.

Judging by the ink, the time when this note was written should be many years ago, when Cao Ying was still at war with Er Yuan in the north, and the war between Liu Biao and Sun was still dead. And as early as so many years ago, this mysterious master was able to predict what is happening today, and he was accurate enough to predict the location of the decisive battle between the two sides, such a ghostly strategy and vision have reached the point of appalling.

This person's strategy and wisdom are not only better than Xu Shu, but even Zhou Yu, who is in the limelight at the meeting between the two families today, is afraid that he will be inferior by three points.

What shocked Liu Feng even more was that the reason why this mysterious person predicted that the place of the war would be Chibi was not only because of Lukou's strategic importance to the Eastern Wu side, but also because of Wulin on the north bank of Chibi.

This Wulin is a narrow slope between Yunmengze and the Yangtze River, surrounded by large lakes and swamps, and many slopes are tidal flats after the river recedes, which is unusually muddy. In this late autumn and near-winter season, if the Wu people occupied the red cliffs on the south bank, they forced the Cao army to camp in the cold mud of Wulin on the north bank.

Suddenly, Liu Feng suddenly figured out why a strange look still flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes when he was in the cabin at that time, Xu Shu had obviously broken through Zhou Yu's strategic intentions.

It was a smug look, because Xu Shu only pointed out one of the reasons why he seized Chibi, that is to say, Xu Shu only considered the land mouth factor on the south bank, but failed to think more deeply about the terrain of Wulin on the north bank. In this way, it seems that Xu Shu's strategy is obviously inferior to Zhou Yu, so he has such a proud look.

However, Zhou Yu should never have dreamed that while he was laughing at Xu Shu, another master lurking in the shadows should also hide in a dark place at this moment, and laugh at him with a smug expression.

"Damn, you guys have brain cells or CPUs in your heads, how can you figure out such an incredible thing. ’

A conversation and an old note made Liu Feng deeply understand what it means to be a "wise man", and he felt the gap between himself and those people in terms of strategy.

However, Liu Feng was not discouraged, he flipped the book in his hand at will, and a mysterious sneer rose at the corner of his mouth: "Hehe, you are indeed cows, what I admire is the five-body throw, but even if you are a cow, I Liu Feng is not the same as the palm of my hand." ”

After closing the book and stretching his waist, Liu Fengteng jumped up and walked out of the military tent without looking back.

Liu Feng went straight to Liu Qi's place, and after reading the ghostly stroke in the note, Liu Feng's appetite had been completely suspended in the air by the mysterious man, and his most urgent thing now was to find out what kind of sacredness this figure was compared to Zhou Yu, who was even famous all over the world.

"Ah Feng, I heard that you went to see Zhou Yu and your uncle, what did you talk about?" Liu Feng, who had just stepped into the account, was still thinking about how to ask each other, and Liu Qi, who was restless, asked anxiously first.

Liu Feng smiled and said with relief: "Brother, rest assured, Zhou Yu has no intention of taking the opportunity to settle in Xiakou. ”

Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still vigilant: "The Wu people are all tiger and wolf disciples, and they promise well, and they may not be pregnant with ghosts in their hearts." After all, the south bank of Wu's encampment is only a river away from us, so we still can't relax our vigilance. ”

Liu Qi and his father Liu Biao are indeed somewhat similar, they are like rich landowners who only want to guard one acre and three points of land, how can people like them understand the ambitions of people like Liu Bei and Zhou Yu.

Liu Feng sighed secretly in his heart, but said on his lips: "Brother is completely worried, in fact, Zhou Yu is completely planning to go down to the village on the south bank, and the family plans to trace the west of the river, seize Chibi, and have a decisive battle with Cao Ying there." ”

These few words of understatement, like a bucket of cold water poured down on the head of the cold winter wax moon, instantly froze Liu Qi. His whole body was frozen there like a statue, and there was an unbelievable look of horror in his stunned eyes.

After being stunned for five seconds, Liu Qi woke up suddenly, as if he was short of oxygen, he took a few breaths of cool air, and exclaimed with a confused face: "Zhou Yu, is he crazy?" Why did he do that? What about my uncle, didn't he object on the spot? ”

Faced with Liu Qi's series of questions, Liu Feng only responded calmly with five words: "Father also agrees." ”

Liu Qi's brain cells were destroyed again, and he exclaimed excitedly: "How can my uncle agree, didn't he say that he would defend Xiakou to the death, why should he go to Chibi to fight Cao Ying, isn't this self-defeating." ”

Frightened, Liu Qi suddenly seemed to have a big understanding, and his expression became extremely weird: "I understand, this must be a conspiracy of the Wu people, I already knew that they were not well-intentioned." No, I have to go to see my uncle, and I must not fall for Zhou Yu's plan. ”

"Brother, don't worry, listen to me explain the reason."

Liu Feng couldn't stand Liu Qi's suspicions, so he patiently told Zhou Yu's combat intentions truthfully, and Liu Qi's comprehension ability was obviously much inferior, Liu Feng had to let him turn out the map, compare the terrain on the map, and redraw it again.

In the end, Liu Qi finally understood the reason, and the excitement subsided, replaced by a little excitement.

"So that's the case, this Zhou Yu is really a cunning character, no wonder Huang Zu can be defeated by his men again and again." Although Liu Qi still used the derogatory term "cunning" in his evaluation of Zhou Yu, the hostility in his tone was significantly reduced.

After calming Liu Qi's suspicions, Liu Feng remembered the purpose of his visit, so he poured Liu Qi a cup of tea, and after a few idle words, he asked casually: "By the way, I have nothing to do these days, and occasionally I will flip through the books in my brother's study." I found a book called "Sun Tzu's Commentary" quite interesting, but it was not signed, and I wonder who wrote it. ”

Liu Qi drank tea and said: "Those books are actually given by my father when I left before I became Jiangxia Taishou, so that I can read more when I have time." However, since I arrived in Jiangxia, I have been very busy, how can I have time to read any books, and I don't seem to have any impression of what you said. ”

'You have time to hug around, but you don't have time to read, you're so busy.' ’

It seems that Liu Qi can't ask who the mysterious master is, and Liu Feng was a little disappointed for a while.

At this moment, a person outside the tent entered in the dust, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Xu Shu.
