(Thanks to Brother Blowing for the reward, hehe.) From Thursday to Zhou, I said that I was on a business trip, and I can only update a big chapter a day in these four days, forgive me. Originally, Sun Quan, who was aggressive, did not take Jingzhou, did not destroy Liu Feng, and swore not to give up, and was domineering, sent Liu Feng's envoy Chen Zhen away with a cold attitude, but now, at such a delicate moment, he sent a messenger to see Liu Feng in turn.

The moment he heard that Lu Fan had arrived, Liu Feng felt that the sharp sword hanging above his head had finally withdrawn.

At the critical moment, this blue-eyed child was still cowardly.

Public Security City, the main hall of the Zhennan General's Mansion.

Liu Feng was wearing silver armor, kneeling solemnly, and what was placed in front of the case was the Qingyu sword that drank countless blood.

The sound of hurried footsteps came into his ears, and after a while, that familiar face entered Liu Feng's field of vision with a smiling face.

"Lu Fan meets General Liu." Lu Fan stepped forward, bowed deeply, and between his words and deeds, he was extremely respectful to Liu Feng.

"Excuse me, take a seat." Liu Feng only raised his hand slightly, and his attitude was very cold.

If Sun Quan had sent an envoy before, Liu Feng would have greeted him warmly and treated him warmly.

But now, the situation is different, Lu Fan came at this time, obviously Sun Quan fell for his own strategy, afraid that he would really surrender to Cao, this is planning to give in to himself.

The initiative has changed hands, and Liu Fengyan can play without taking advantage of the topic.

Sitting down, Liu Feng didn't even look at Lu Fan, and only said coldly: "Didn't Wu Hou already plan to meet me in battle, Ziheng, what do you mean by coming to see me at this time." ”

"Hehe, the general really misunderstood, Wu Hou Ke never had the same idea as the general said, in fact, the general is Wu Hou's brother-in-law, Sun and Liu's two families are one and the same, how can their own family members do it with their own family, isn't it to make the enemy happy, and the relatives are painful."

Hearing this, Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but on the surface, he still had a straight face, and said with a sneer: "Since Wu Hou is my own family member and has no plan to deal with me, then the tens of thousands of male soldiers in Baqiu don't know what they plan to do?" Group fishing? ”

Liu Feng's tone was full of sarcasm.

Lu Fan was slightly embarrassed, coughed a few times, and said with a smile: "Cao Ying's army is going south, and Wu Hou is worried that the general will not be able to deal with it, so he increased his troops in Jingzhou, the purpose is of course to deal with Cao Ying with the general, and the general must not think about it." ”

"I see." Liu Feng first made a sudden realization, and then said blankly: "But the Cao army is in the north, if Wu Hou really wants to help me resist Cao, he should also be stationed in Xiakou, but now he has stationed all the troops in Baqiu, and outsiders will really mistakenly think that Wu Hou is planning to fight with me." ”

Liu Feng took the initiative, naturally chasing and fighting, and it can be regarded as a ruthless show of being oppressed by Sun Quan these days.

Lu Fan hurriedly explained: "That's the case, the general is not new to Jingzhou, there must be many Guan Yu's old troops who intend to make trouble, and my family Wuhou Tun Soldier Baqiu also wants to subdue those who intend to make trouble for the general." ”

This is really embarrassing for Lu Fan, and he finally reluctantly got this matter over.

Liu Feng's sarcastic remarks were just a bad breath, Sun Quan's concession was exactly what he couldn't ask for, so naturally he wouldn't make the scene so bad that there was no room for return.

After Lu Fan explained like this, Liu Feng's heart was a little happier, and his expression gradually softened, "It's rare for Wu Hou to think so much about my brother-in-law, so if you count it like this, the previous things were all misunderstandings due to the lack of communication between our two families." ”

Hearing Liu Feng's reversal, Lu Fan was amnesty, and nodded busily: "Misunderstanding, of course it's a misunderstanding." ”

"Then, the rumors that Wu Hou is angry with me for seizing Nanjun should also be false?"

Lu Fan smiled and said: "Of course it's fake, my family Wu Hou said that this Jingzhou is the same as the agreement made with Liu Bei before, it can be temporarily borrowed from the general to settle down, and it is not too late to return it after the general takes Yizhou." ”

It seems that Sun Quan's concession was not in vain, it turns out that he still remembers this incident.

Liu Feng personally promised Sun Quan, but it was not easy to regret it, so he thought that it was just an empty promise anyway, and it was not up to him to decide whether to honor it in the future, and a blank check sent Sun Quan away, why not.

At that moment, Liu Feng also laughed and swore that "I, Liu Feng, have always done what I say, and there is no doubt about this. ”

With Liu Feng reaffirming his promise, Lü Fan Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and when he informed Liu Feng that Baqiu's Wu army would soon set off to the east and launch an attack in the direction of Hefei, in order to relieve the pressure on Liu Feng on the Xiangyang side.

As Lü Fan said, not long after he left the public security, Baqiu's Wu army set off to return east, and sailed out of Jingzhou in just one day, and the speed of the retreat made Liu Fengdu feel a little surprised, and even made him suspect that the withdrawal was just a trick by Sun Quan, and the purpose was only to prepare for the later surprise attack.

The ensuing intelligence made Liu Feng completely relieved, and the army of Eastern Wu withdrew as promised, leaving only Lu Su's less than 20,000 troops stationed on the western front.

The withdrawal of the Eastern Wu Army, so that Cao Ying's dream of sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight was in vain, in annoyance, Cao Ying immediately led the army from Nanyang to Xinye again, this time he was no longer soft, but serious.

Cao Ying's reaction was as early as Liu Feng's expectation, and after he was convinced that the main force of Eastern Wu had withdrawn eastward, Liu Feng left Huang Zhong with 4,000 men to guard the public security, and Pang Tong with 3,000 to guard Jiangling. And he himself, with 5,000 elites and nearly 10,000 barbarians of Shamoke, headed north to Xiangyang.

Under Liu Feng's instructions, Wei Yan led 4,000 soldiers and horses back into Fancheng on the opposite bank, and three days later, Cao Ying's army rushed to the city and launched a fierce attack on the gateway to the north bank of Xiangyang.

Although the Cao army was far superior to the Wu people, Liu Feng was more confident in fighting on land, relying on Fancheng's strong city defense system, coupled with his back to Xiangyang, and Liu Feng's full support from the water, Wei Yan withstood wave after wave of fierce attacks of Cao's army with 4,000 soldiers and horses.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and under the lives of thousands of soldiers, Cao Ying still can't shake Fancheng.

Wei Yan's ability was fully reflected in the battle to defend the city, and although Fancheng was indestructible, Liu Feng's mood was not happy.

He seemed to have really angered the tyrant who had swept through the north this time, and so far, he barely saw the slightest hint of Cao Ying's retreat. On the contrary, according to the information of the detailed work, Cao Ying is still constantly transferring troops from Xu Du, and he has the intention of not giving up if he is not swept away.

It seems that Cao Ying plans to fight a protracted battle with him on the front line of Xiangfan.

Cao Ying can afford it, because his family has a big business, and relying on the perfect tuntian system, he can completely support hundreds of thousands of professional soldiers who do not need to cultivate and are in charge of war.

Liu Feng couldn't do it, imitating the Tuntian established by Cao Ying, which was only implemented in Changsha, and it was on a small scale.

As for Liu Bei, since he got Jingzhou, he seems to be blindly afraid of offending the Jingzhou clan, and he has not dared to implement tuntian in the Nanjun area, and most of the grain accumulated in Pingsu has been transferred to the front line in Shuzhong, and Liu Feng has not been left much at all.

Since the start of the battle of Jingzhou, Liu Feng has collected nearly 30,000 troops at once, and there are so many mouths out of thin air, and the consumption of grain is very great, and in just a few months, Liu Feng has consumed most of the grain accumulated by his hard work in Changsha.

At present, the war is still in the ascendant, Liu Feng has to urge Liu Ba to find ways to collect grain, and on the other hand, he cannot scatter troops for farming, so as to release more labor for spring ploughing, so that Jingzhou's summer grain production will inevitably decrease.

At this moment, Liu Feng once again deeply realized that at some point, food may be the key to determining the outcome of the war.

Under these circumstances, Liu Feng had to send letters to Sun Quan again and again, asking him to immediately march into Hefei to share the great pressure he was under in Xiangyang.

Sun Quan's reply every time was to send troops as soon as possible, but after sending away the envoys, they still did not move.

Sun Quan's indifference made Liu Feng puzzled at the same time, but also felt very helpless, in the case of unfavorable help, he could only do his best to support it.

…………………… The breeze gently pointed at the handsome face, faintly scented with earth and grass.

He sat quietly, his eyes closed, his long eyelashes fluttering slightly.

The plain white fingers skillfully plucked the bright strings, and the faint sound of the piano blended with the sound of Jiang Tao lapping on the shore, and the wisps quietly entered the ears.

There was a sense of tranquility in my heart, and in a trance, there was a feeling of isolation from the world.

There was a slight rhythmic vibration on the ground, and he frowned, and immediately recognized that several horses were galloping in this direction.

The sound of horses' hooves ruined his Yaxing, his fingertips loosened, his palms pressed the shaking long strings, and the melodious and melodious sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

When he just stood up, the rapid sound of hooves had stopped behind him, and when he turned around, the purple-haired man in gorgeous clothes had already carried the placket of his robe and strode towards the saber at his waist. ”

Zhou Yu straightened his clothes, bowed to Sun Quan, who was striding over, and said with a smile: "If the lord has something to discuss, just send someone to say hello, why bother the lord to work in person." ”

When the words fell, Sun Quan had already come to his side, he took a few deep breaths of the river breeze, his undulating chest gradually calmed down, his expression was a little anxious, and he smiled with Zhou Yu's hand: "Gongjin, you are still recuperating after all, this road is not far, what's the big deal if I come in person, just come out to move your muscles and bones." ”

Zhou Yu smiled faintly, although his handsome face was still a little pale, it was already a world of difference compared to the dying state a few years ago.

A few years ago, it was Gan Ning's heart and Liu Feng's generosity that made Zhou Yu take back a life from the hands of death under Zhang Zhongjing's treatment.

The current Mei Zhoulang is still thrillingly beautiful, but between that beautiful face, there is a vague added a kind of peace that is difficult for others to achieve, as if it is a new perception of life after escaping death.

"I have the Lord Lao to worry about it, but my body is almost better, and I can go into battle to kill the enemy at any time." Zhou Yu replied indifferently.

Seeing Zhou Yu's temperament, Sun Quan also breathed a sigh of relief, and the conversation changed and turned to the topic.

"Gong Jin, since your body has recovered as before, then I am relieved. It's just your previous plan, and it's been a month since then, and I don't know when it will be implemented. ”

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan walked side by side on the shore avenue, and said as they walked: "Yu has already said that when we act, the first thing to see is how Cao Thief uses his troops, as long as Xu Du still has remaining soldiers, this plan will have to be delayed." ”

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth hooked, revealing a sly smile: "I came to you precisely for this matter." Just received the information from Jiangbei Xizuo, Cao Ying transferred another 20,000 soldiers and horses from Xudu, and now in addition to the soldiers and horses who stayed behind to guard the key points, almost all of his more than 100,000 field soldiers and horses have been deployed on the front line of Xiangyang. ”

Sun Quan's words made Zhou Yu's eyes light up, he stopped, his gaze extended to Jiangbei, raised his hand and pointed afar: "What about Hefei, I don't know how many soldiers and horses Cao Thief left?" ”

Sun Quan smiled and said proudly: "There will be no more than Zhang Liao, Li Dian, and Le Jin, and there will be no more than seven thousand soldiers, Gong Jin, at such an opportunity, don't you plan to send troops?" ”

"Three generals, seven thousand soldiers, hum, Cao Lao Thief really underestimated me and there is no one in Jiangdong."

Between the handsome faces, a murderous aura suddenly emerged.

At that time, Sun Dongtun soldiers Baqiu, heard that Liu Feng had the idea of surrendering to Cao Ying, and fell into a dilemma for a while, both wanted to make concessions to Liu Feng, but was unwilling to gain nothing, and his face was damaged.

Zhou Yu offered advice to Sun Quan, withdrew his troops and returned to Wu, let Cao Ying fight with Liu Feng in Jingzhou, and then take advantage of the emptiness in the southeast, he led the army into Hefei and captured the land of Huainan in one fell swoop.

Sun Quan has no absolute confidence in others, even if it is the impassioned and confident Lu Meng, except for Zhou Yu.

Lü Meng offered a plan to let his troops enter Jingzhou, but in the end, he was in a dilemma and embarrassed to retreat.

Lu Su didn't embarrass himself, but he made himself very angry.

Only Zhou Yu once again stood up decisively when he needed it and solved problems for himself.

Zhou Yu back then, even Cao Ying could be defeated, let alone Hefei. It was precisely because Zhou Yu took the initiative to ask for war that Sun Quan made up his mind to fight for Hefei again.

Hearing Zhou Yu's murderous words, Sun Quan had a little bit of confidence in his heart, but he still had some concerns in private.

He suddenly sighed again, and his expression revealed a touch of shame, "Gongjin, I really should have listened to your persuasion at the beginning, and I shouldn't have lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei, but it led to the current situation, which was all my mistake." ”

Of course, Sun Quan knew how smart Zhou Yu was, and he lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei, which was somewhat aimed at him, and Zhou Yu couldn't guess it.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Quan is worried that Zhou Yu will complain about this, and let a general with complaints go out with tens of thousands of his army, of course Sun Quan cannot rest assured.

Hearing Sun Quan's self-blame, Zhou Yu smiled lightly, and said lightly: "You can't say that, just the so-called time and time, under the situation at that time, it was not wrong for the lord to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei, but Yu was too persistent to see the lord's foresight, but who would have expected that there would be an outlier like Liu Feng, in the final analysis, no one is wrong in this matter." ”

Zhou Yu did not have a trace of complaint in his words, on the contrary, he tried his best to excuse Sun Quan, which made Sun Quan feel at ease and a little more moved.

You must know that Zhou Yu has always had prestige in the army, and he ignored Zhou Yu's persuasion and tried his best to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei, but the current situation has appeared, and it is inevitable that some generals in the army will complain, and now Zhou Yu has also expressed his position like this, which naturally helped him resolve the complaints of those generals.

"Gongjin, you know the righteousness, I am very relieved." Sun Quan stroked Zhou Yu's shoulder and sighed.

"It's not that I understand the righteousness, but that the lord is wise and martial. Fang Jin's trend is an excellent opportunity for the lord to enter the Central Plains in the north and win the world. ”

This generous remark made Sun Quan ambitious, and he immediately said: "Okay, Gongjin, you said well, now the time has come, it is the time for the troops to enter Hefei, this time, how many soldiers and horses you plan to want, I will give them all to you." ”

Zhou Yu said proudly: "Just one Hefei, 50,000 soldiers are enough." ”

"50,000 is 50,000, in Hefei, there is Lao Gongjin to bother, I will be your backing in Moling, allocate money and food to you, replenish soldiers and horses, so that you don't have the slightest worries."

…………………… In the early summer, 50,000 troops of Eastern Wu entered Hefei.

The news was the first to reach Jingzhou, and Liu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really didn't expect that Sun Quan would use Zhou Yu again." Liu Feng said with emotion.

Pang Tong's eyes sneered, "The generals of Jiangdong are mostly fierce and ruthless, and it's okay to make a small fight, but when it comes to fighting the world, except for Zhou Lang, there is no one." Wu Hou only remembered to use Zhou Yu at this time, but I felt that it was a little later than I expected. ”

Hearing Pang Tong's words, Liu Feng's back suddenly felt a chill, and he thought that it was fortunate that Zhou Yu was not used when Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou in the west, if so, the situation would be very different.

Jiangdong generals, Liu Feng is jealous, only Zhou Lang is alone.

Liu Feng nodded slightly: "No wonder Sun Quan has been delaying in Wu for so long, and he has been unwilling to send troops to attack Hefei, it turns out that he has been waiting for Cao Ying to transfer all the soldiers and horses to Xiangyang, hum, my eldest brother is really good at calculating." ”

Pang Tong said with a relaxed expression: "No matter what, Sun Quan has finally sent troops, and the commander used is still Zhou Lang, I expect that it won't be long before Cao Ying will have to withdraw his troops." ”

Pang Tong's optimism, Liu Feng did not agree, "Although Cao Ying did not have many soldiers and horses left in Hefei, he left Zhang Liao, a good general, Zhou Lang attacked Hefei this time, but I am afraid that Cao Ying may not be able to force Cao Ying to withdraw his troops." ”

"Although Zhang Liao has some generals, but after all, he is only a general, how can he be handsome last week, lord, we have to have confidence in Zhou Lang, hehe-"

Liu Feng did not fight with Zhang Liao, he only felt that "Zhang Liaowei shook Xiaoyaojin" in history, so he had concerns about the Battle of Hefei.

But seeing that Pang Tong had such confidence in Zhou Yu, Liu Feng was also a little relieved, and said: "Okay, then we'll wait and see how Zhou Lang performs." ”

The two ministers were discussing with themselves, and suddenly their own soldiers came to report, saying that it was Huang Quan, a subordinate of Liu Zhang's in Xichuan, who asked to see him.
