Chapter 65: It's Time to Strike
Although he would only meet Pang Tong for a day, when he saw off this mediocre-looking strange person, Liu Feng felt as comfortable as if the second vein of Ren Du had finally been opened.
However, the word left by Pang Tong, as well as the reminder of "the opportunity is coming" at the time of parting, are still a problem.
After bidding farewell to Pang Tong, as soon as Liu Feng returned to the military tent, he held the "Qi" written by Pang Tong and thought hard. From early morning to late afternoon, I was never puzzled.
"The eldest prince, the subordinates are back." Ma Yan, who came in from the outside, looked dusty, and his clothes were covered with snow.
"You've worked this trip, come, first drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." Liu Feng put down the silk book in his hand and personally poured him a cup of steaming tea.
"Mr. Xie." Ma Jian took off his coat, dusted off the snow stains on his eyebrows, took a few sips of hot tea, spit a few hot breaths in his mouth, and his flushed face gradually faded.
After Ma Jian rested for a while, Liu Feng asked, "What is Xiakou's reaction?" ā
Regarding Mi Fang's death, Liu Feng did not take it lightly, but specially sent Ma Jian to escort Mi Fang's bones back to Xiakou, so that he could observe his face and act when he saw the opportunity.
Ma Tan replied: "General Guan is in Shiyang, I didn't see him this time, but I did." ā
"What's my uncle's reaction?" Liu Feng's nerves began to alert.
"Mr. Mi is naturally grief-stricken, but that's all, before leaving, he also specially instructed me to tell the eldest prince, tell you to be careful, don't follow in the footsteps of General Mi."
Liu Feng was not surprised by Mi Zhu's reaction, of course he knew that the so-called concern was a hypocrisy, but judging from his superficial performance, Mi Zhu was going to swallow his anger about his brother's death.
What Liu Feng needs most now is time, and Mi Zhu's forbearance is naturally what he is happy to see. He felt a little calmer, and then asked, "We have won such a great victory, can you bring back anything to reward the labor army this time?" ā
"The military resources of Xiakou are all in the hands of Mr. Mi. Mr. Mi said that logically speaking, we should have rewarded meritorious deeds, but at present, the war on the northern front is tight and military funds are tight, so we can't reward us with excess for the time being. Ma Jian shook his head, looking a little disappointed.
What kind of bullshit military is tight, how many Liu Qi's family funds fall into your hands, don't I know.
Liu Feng's eyes flashed with hatred, he knew that this must have been done by Mi Zhu on purpose, although he didn't dare to say anything about his brother's death, but he used the power in his hands to put small shoes on him in private.
'Hmph, whatever you want, see how long you can be proud.' ā
Liu Feng temporarily suppressed his anger and sneered: "This is also expected, but I told you when I was leaving, if you don't get a reward from your uncle for this trip, you can also use my name to ask Brother Zide for some military funds, no matter what, I can't make the soldiers feel cold." ā
Mentioning Liu Qi, Ma Jian shook his head and sighed: "The eldest prince doesn't know, when I returned to Xiakou this time, I learned that General Yide had returned from Fankou not long ago and took over the remaining soldiers and horses of Zide Gongzi and all his military assets, and now Zide Gongzi basically has no power in his hands, and the eldest prince may no longer count on him." ā
I see.
In less than three months, Liu Qi was finally stripped of all his belongings by his loving uncle, I don't know what kind of mood Liu Qi will be at this time, even if he trusts Liu Bei again, he must have seen the true face of that person clearly at this moment.
It's a pity that it's too late to regret it.
Although this result was expected by Liu Feng, to be honest, in the past few months, Liu Qi has done his best to treat him as a younger brother, and it can even be said that Liu Qi is the only person in the world who treats him honestly.
Therefore, for Liu Qi's current ending, Liu Feng has some pity in his heart.
'Liu Qi, Liu Qi, you are a really good person, but it's a pity that you were born at the wrong time......
Just when Liu Feng was secretly sighing, suddenly, his mind was like the sea covered by a storm, in a pitch black chaos, a bright lightning bolt crossed in an instant, and the endless darkness between the sea and the sky was all prostrate under the dazzling white light in an instant.
Liu Qi ...... Liu Qi...... Qiā"
On those handsome cheeks, the green tendons appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the knife-like eyes revealed excitement and excitement, as if they had comprehended some truth at some moment.
He suddenly rushed back to the desk, and picked up the silk book left by Pang Tong, and in his bright star-like pupils, it was the word "Qi" that was reflected.
"I see, I see, hahaha-"
For no reason, the young eldest prince suddenly seemed to have taken a stimulant, holding the word "Qi" in his hand, and laughed unscrupulously.
"Eldest Prince, what's the joy of?" Ma Jian looked dazed and couldn't help asking.
Liu Feng, who was in ecstasy, floated with that kind of epiphany-like relieved smile, and only then did he realize that his behavior was a bit too radical under Ma Tan's questioning. He forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought of something funny all of a sudden." As for the reward, I still can't let the brothers look forward to it in vain, and I plan to go to Xiakou in person, and the military affairs of the Lushan camp will be in charge of you for the time being. ā
Ma Jian suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Thanks to the reminder of the eldest prince, I almost forgot an extremely important thing." The lord recently said that he was preparing to return to Xiakou, and ordered to summon all the generals, including the eldest prince, to rush to Xiakou as soon as possible to discuss the military. ā
Liu Feng frowned slightly: "My father actually wants to go back to Xiakou from Chibi, could it be that there is any important decision?" ā
Ma Jian shook his head and said: "I don't know exactly what it is, but it is said that the lord is in accordance with the advice of Zhuge Military Division, and when the time comes, Zhuge Military Division will also rush back to Xiakou from Chaisang, according to my speculation, most of the war on the Chibi side is about to be known, and the main prince should be planning for the next major move." ā
Suddenly, Liu Feng remembered the words left to him when Pang Tong said goodbye in the snow and returned, saying that the opportunity was coming soon, and told him to grasp it well. Could it be that the Xiakou military conference convened by Liu Bei is not related to Pang Tong's hints?
Liu Feng suddenly had a strange feeling, as if in the dark, there was a pair of invisible hands that inadvertently cut off the shackles of fate that bound him. And at this moment, there is a strong desire in his heart to break free from the shackles and soar into the sky.
It was an unprecedented excitement.
Now that the time has come, it's time to make a move.
