In the hall, not long after Liu Feng sat down, Jiang Wan walked in.

"Lord, the incense case has been laid out." Jiang Wan hugged his fist at Liu Feng.

"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded, and then asked, "Gongyan, how is the purchase of the cultivated cattle?" ”

The matter of ploughing cattle has only been arranged for a day or two, and it has had little effect. Seeing Liu Feng ask, Jiang Wan was a little surprised. But he also attaches great importance to the matter of ploughing cattle.

Therefore, he replied very calmly: "The orders of the various county towns have gone down, and a hundred stone of grain is exchanged for a ploughing ox, but the ordinary people regard the ox as their life, and now they have little effect." There are only about 20 cattle in captivity on the ranch outside the city. ”

Liu Feng frowned, although the cattle from all over the country were not pulled over, but from the trap of recruiting cattle from Xiling County, you can imagine the difficulty of hand-plowing cattle.

The people will sell their cattle unless they have to. Although there is a lot of grain for 100 stones, with ploughing oxen, you can produce more grain.

"This ox must be accumulated, and if it is really a last resort, give an order, and within as many ranges as possible, there must be a cow. Defeating Cao Ren all depends on the fire ox array, if the cattle can't be gathered, it will be a joke. Therefore, when necessary, I can be tougher, and if it arouses public anger, I will appease it in the form of compensation when the war is over. Liu Feng thought about it for a while, and felt that Cao Ren was still the biggest threat, and in order to deal with Cao Ren, it was also appropriate to sacrifice a little.

"No." Jiang Wan didn't have any opinion on this, so he couldn't help but respond.

"By the way, you first lead the twenty cows to the city, and then find a few butchers who will kill the pigs." Liu Feng saw that Jiang Wan had no objection and continued.

"My lord, no." Jiang Wan's face changed suddenly, and he admonished: "Because of Huang Zu's trouble, the strength of Jiangxia has not recovered at present, the people are mostly men, and the land is mostly cultivated by old people and women. Among them, ploughing cattle is the lifeblood of the people. Now that Cao Ren is committing, he has to use the fire ox array to kill and retreat, which is helpless. But if it is only for the sake of appetite, it is taboo to kill the ploughing ox. ”

Jiang Wan saw that Liu Feng recruited twenty cows and asked the butcher again. That's when the color changed.

Regarding Jiang Wan's misunderstanding, Liu Feng not only did not feel ashamed, but felt comfortable. To be a prince to the end, when there are only good words in your ears, it is estimated that it is time to perish.

People like Jiang Wan who dare to speak out are the more the merrier.

"Gongyan misunderstood." Liu Feng smiled slightly, got up and came to Jiang Wan's side, in Jiang Wan's gaze, raised his head to look at the north, and said: "Full of favor is coming, I don't know if he has been tasked by Cao Yan and Cao Ren to observe me." Observe Jiangxia. Saying that, Liu Feng turned his head and smiled at Jiang Wan: "After all, my rise speed is too fast, from taking Jiangxia to defeating Zhou Yu, it is only a few months." Cao Ying's impression of me is probably pitiful. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, if you are full of favors to observe me, observe Jiangxia, and bring back information to Cao Ren, you can increase your chances of victory, why not. ”

"What do you mean?" Jiang Wan's heart moved, but he understood.

"Regardless of whether he has been tasked or not, he has to observe me and observe Jiang Xia. We just have to hide it. Smiling, Liu Feng asked Jiang Wan, "If Gongyan is Cao Ying, Cao Ren." When you see me, a prince, I kill and eat oxen. What will be the thoughts? ”

"Belittle, make fun of, and even judge the lord for being unwise." At this time, Jiang Wan had thoroughly understood Liu Feng's intentions, smiled slightly, and replied.

"Go down and set up a slaughterhouse. I want to let Man Pet bring back the news, so that everyone in the Central Plains knows that I am an unwise, arrogant, and arrogant local prince. Liu Feng laughed and said.

"My subordinates are going to prepare." Jiang Wan was meaningless at this time, and raised his fists.

"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded and snorted. Jiang Wan slowly retreated.

Immediately, Liu Feng sat in the hall, waiting for the angel to arrive. Of course, among them, he also wore all kinds of domineering and exposed clothes brought by Huan'er.

At this time, Liu Feng's appearance was very imposing. From head to toe, there is a noble ancient crown, a noble and black robe, a black belt inlaid with precious stones, and a Chu knife that is very strange and mysterious in the eyes of the world at the waist.

As the saying goes, people depend on their clothes. Even Liu Feng was taken aback when he saw what he looked like after wearing it. It's really as imposing as an upstart. It doesn't look like a fake at all.

"There is more abundance, but not more luxury." Huan'er, who was tidying up some small places for Liu Feng next to him, was very dissatisfied.

A good heroic general, he has to pretend to be like this. Really.

"Women, what do you know?" Liu Feng himself was very satisfied, and replied with a smile.

Huan'er was pouting and looking angry.

At this moment, a soldier entered the hall and reported: "My lord, the angel has entered the city through the north gate." Lord Jiang asked the little one to go out to greet him. ”

"Got it." Liu Feng nodded, shook his shoulders slightly, and said to Huan'er: "Go down, put away this bronze mirror too." ”

"Hmm." Seeing that Liu Feng had serious things to do, Huan'er was also very well-behaved, so he sighed and walked out with a few maids who served Liu Feng and dressed together.

After Huan'er left, Liu Feng got up and walked out of the hall and went straight to the front yard.

In an open space in the front yard, an incense case was set up. Jiang Wan led some of the main officials in the county to line up to greet the angels.

Xu Tian's elder brother Xu Zheng is impressively listed.

When Liu Feng arrived, headed by Jiang Wan, Qi Qi greeted Liu Feng and said, "Lord." ”

Liu Feng waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, and then set off to Jiang Wan's side, one step ahead of Jiang Wan, and stood closest to the incense case.

"How?" Liu Feng asked in a low voice.

"Wealth is impressive." Jiang Wan smiled slightly.

"Huh." The two glanced at each other, and let out a low chuckle in unison. attracted the attention of the officials around, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Taishou and the main book.

At the same time, in the north of Xiling City, a carriage, under the escort of hundreds of imposing soldiers, under the guidance of a small official, slowly headed towards the Taishou Mansion.

In the carriage, there were two people.

One of them was in his thirties, with a dignified appearance and sharp eyes. He wears a black robe and a sword at his waist.

The other person is also in his thirties, handsome, but his lips are thin, giving people a mean feeling. The dress is similar to that of the previous one.

These two people are the two envoys and deputy envoys in this time, full of favor, Zhao Ba.

"Brother Boning, now I know why we Central Plains people regard the south of the Yangtze River as a wilderness." Zhao Ba said with a slight sneer.

"Oh?" Man Pet sighed, but his face was not surprised. But he guessed what Zhao Ba was going to say.

"Hmph, how can this Liu Feng say that he is also a county guard, but he does not accept the king, that is, he knows that the angel is coming, but he does not go out of the city to greet him, isn't it in response to an old saying, wild land, out of wild people." Zhao Ba's eyes flashed coldly, but he narrowed his eyes again, showing meanness.

Immediately, he said: "Unruly, maybe it's another Jiangdong little overlord." ”

At that time, Sun Ce was also unruly and arrogant, killing Wu County too much to guard Xu Gong, and he was not obedient to the imperial court. Sun Ce's existence directly caused Jiangdong's sitting.

Liu Ba's words are a hint of full favor, and Liu Feng is also a kind of person like Sun Ce.

Man Pet just smiled and listened, but didn't answer.

This Liu Ba is actually a person from Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, and belongs to the clan. Only then did he send an envoy on the orders of Xun Yu, but it was the Son of Heaven who gave the order.

Therefore, Liu Ba was inserted as a deputy envoy.

According to Man's speculation, the Son of Heaven may want Liu Ba to secretly collude with Liu Feng and do something in private. But Liu Ba is obviously not suitable for doing this kind of thing.

He is mean and jealous. Liu Feng did not go out of the city for ten miles to greet him, which had already caused Liu Ba's dissatisfaction, and now Liu Feng did not even have the etiquette to go out of the city gate to greet him.

Liu Ba was very dissatisfied with Liu Feng and was very dissatisfied.

There is no one around the Son of Heaven. In his heart, he made this conclusion about the information fed back by Liu Ba.

Not without sighs. Han is dead.

As for what kind of person Liu Feng is, Man Zhong does not directly evaluate it, because no matter what kind of person he is, he will inevitably fight dozens of days later.

However, his trip passed through Wancheng, and Cao Ren, the general of Wancheng, did let him observe Liu Feng and Jiang Xia. Yes, this road is very slow, some cities in Jiangbei, Dadukou Xiakou, full of pets have observed.

It's not bad, it belongs to the kind of small princes who are in a steaming situation.

It's just that this kind of force is much weaker than Yuan Shao and others. For Cao Gong, it was as easy as pinching an ant to death.

Man Chong smiled slightly in his heart, and he had great confidence in Cao Ying's strength.

Liu Ba on the side saw that he was full of pets and smiled silently, and his heart suddenly became angry. When the Son of Heaven is in power, he will destroy you.

As a member of the Han family, Liu Ba was born with a sense of superiority and was proud of it. But now in this world, the surname is not Liu, but Cao.

Liu Ba was depressed, and with indignation against Cao Ying, he slowly moved closer to Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

Liu Xie has grown up and is dissatisfied with being controlled by Cao Ying. pondering how to find foreign aid all day long, Liu Bei is one, and now Liu Feng seems to be one too. is also surnamed Liu, and Liu Feng's power is already greater than Liu Bei, much bigger. Liu Xie naturally coveted.

So Liu Xie took advantage of Xun Yu's recommendation to be an angel this time, and placed Liu Ba in. The purpose is to lure Liu Feng as foreign aid.

But Liu Xie definitely didn't expect that he would meet someone unladylike. Now Liu Ba's heart has already been filled with jealousy and dissatisfaction.

His surname is Liu, and he is a clan, but he is not a righteous envoy, and he is not too guarded. When I arrived in Jiangxia, I was not courteous.

How could Liu Ba endure it.

"Hmph, wait a minute, first ridicule this southern barbarian for not understanding etiquette. Take a good breath. When he returned to Xudu, he took a copy in front of the Son of Heaven, saying that he was barbaric and unwise, and he was useless. How can such an impolite person be worthy of being the foreign aid of the Son of Heaven, a courtier of my Liu family. It's cheaper to be a commoner. ”

Liu Ba gritted his teeth in his heart at the same time, there was also a kind of joyful and dripping, in his mind that the surname Liu was in this world, although he was now controlled by Cao Ying for a short time, but when the son of heaven grew up to be honest and talented, it was just an easy thing to take back power.

Soon, the opportunity that Liu Ba was looking forward to arrived. The carriage stopped in front of the Taishou Mansion, and Man Zhong and Liu Ba got off the carriage one after another, originally, there were a lot of rules in the imperial court.

There is a huge difference between the status of the main envoy and the deputy envoy, the positive envoy walks in front, while the deputy envoy walks three steps behind and walks in the rear.

But Liu Ba paid himself the Han family's relatives, and was only willing to be half a step behind the full favor.

The soldiers and entourage in the ranks of the ministers cast dissatisfied glances at Liu Ba, but Liu Ba went his own way, slightly tilted his head upwards thirty degrees, and was very proud.

Full of pets doesn't care. Even with a smile on his face.

Soon, the group came to the front yard, where Liu Feng and the others stood. Through the incense case, Man Zhong and Liu Ba stopped.

Man Chong looked up at Liu Feng, looked at him carefully for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Are you Liu Feng?" But I was a little surprised in my heart, Liu Feng was so rich that he was rich, but he was more rich than noble, and he looked like a person who got rich overnight.

It's just full of favor and prudence, and he has no contact with Liu Feng, so it's not good to assert it.

"Sure enough, it's a barbarian." Seeing Liu Feng dressed like this, Liu Ba sneered in his heart, and even more convinced that this person was a barbarian.

"Exactly." Liu Feng didn't raise his hand, and said lightly.

Man Zhong nodded first, and then his eyes signaled to his entourage, and the entourage understood, stepped forward, and handed the holy decree in his hand to Man Chong.

"Order." Man Zhong unfolded the holy decree and said loudly.

"The minister takes the order." Although Liu Feng said that he would accept the order, he did not mean to kneel, and Jiang Wan next to him was the same, standing proudly.

The small officials behind them originally planned to kneel to greet them, but when they saw that they were too guarded, the master did not kneel, hesitated, and did not kneel.

Man's favored eyes condensed slightly, and his eyes fell on Liu Feng's body again, and Liu Feng only did not know and smiled slightly.

But there was a killing aura on his body, but it was exuding, like an overlord who refused to accept the king.

"Bold. You little guard, you don't welcome the angels, but now you don't kneel to accept the holy decree. I will be the son of heaven and punish your nine clans. Liu Ba himself had a strange fanaticism for the Liu Dynasty, seeing that Liu Feng was actually disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, coupled with all the previous dissatisfaction, this moment suddenly broke out.

It doesn't matter what place this is, what kind of person he is. just looked at Liu Feng with bloodshot eyes, his chest rose and fell violently, and he let out a beast-like gasp.

Full of favors is famous, so Liu Feng knows, but what kind of person is this Liu Ba, Liu Feng is unheard of. In Jiangxia, the courage to kill the nine clans, the lord of Jiangxia, is commendable.

"Who is this?" At this time, it was just to show his strength, Liu Feng naturally would not give face to Liu Ba, the person who took the initiative to jump out, and said coldly.

As soon as Liu Feng's words fell, many soldiers who were guarding nearby immediately poured in. Each was armed with spears, and his eyes were full of slaughter.

It seems that as long as Liu Feng gives an order, he will rush up and kill the angel.

Unruly, unruly. Full of favors and black lines, this fool has done too much, and he wants to kill Liu Fengjiu in Jiangxia?

Foolish.

And the delusional person in the mouth of the full favor has already stunned the turn of things at this moment. His calves trembled, and his face was covered with sweat. Liu Ba, who blurted out without thinking, naturally did not consider what the consequences would be.

And the consequences are precisely what he cannot bear.
