The next time, Xu said that it will not rise.

When the sky was still gray, the east gate of Jiangzhou City was opened, and more than 3,000 Jiangzhou troops escorted hundreds of carriages out of the city, slowly heading towards the Jingzhou military camp more than ten miles away.

The carriage was loaded with bags of grain, as well as boxes of copper coins, or Shu brocade, all of which were given by Liu Zhang to Liu Feng as a gift to replace Ba Jun.

The convoy traveled slowly along the flat official road to the east, stretching for miles, like a long snake winding around.

Until dawn, the tail of this convoy still did not leave the city.

At the same time, Yan Yan, who was wearing regular clothes and soft armor, also went out of the city, and he was only surrounded by seven or eight soldiers who were as strong as oxen.

These people's eyes are scorching, their muscles are coiled, and they each have a ring of swords around their waists, and they are extraordinary martial arts athletes at a glance.

The previously scheduled date location was located in a stone pavilion next to the official road one mile southeast of the city.

Before Yan Yan arrived, the scouts sent earlier reconnoitred the vicinity of the stone pavilion, and after confirming that there were no ambushes, Yan Yan continued to go to the meeting.

When there were still dozens of steps away, Yan Yan saw that there were already seven or eight figures in the stone pavilion, thinking that Liu Feng had arrived one step earlier.

Riding a horse and walking a few steps quickly, in the blink of an eye, Yan Yan saw the true face of the legendary Liu Zhennan.

It was a young man with a frank and kind smile, a heroic and extraordinary bearing, and a vigorous youthful vitality all over his body.

It was the lord of Jingzhou who only saw a glance, but made people feel a strong affinity.

Yan Yan had also heard that there was such a young man named Liu Feng in Jingzhou, as Liu Bei's righteous son, but he openly broke with Liu Bei, not only did he betray his relatives, but instead of betraying his relatives, he entangled a group of heroic people, and repeatedly killed Liu Bei in disgrace.

Now, this person also took advantage of Liu Bei's time to take Shu, lightning-like to take Liu Bei's nest, retreating to Cao Ying in the north, rejecting Sun Quan in the east, and standing proudly in the land of Jingchu like a miracle.

Such a legendary figure turned out to be only a hairy boy in his early twenties, and there was still a little childish between his eyebrows.

Yan Yan was really surprised in his heart.

"Old General Yan, I have admired my name for a long time, and I will be fortunate to see you today."

Liu Feng stepped out of the pavilion first and greeted him with a smile.

Yan Yan hurriedly returned the salute: "Liu Zhennan's words are serious, it is an honor to be fortunate to see Liu Zhennan's heroic demeanor." ”

"Hehe, old general, please."

Liu Feng waved his hand to invite Yan Yan into the pavilion, and the personal soldiers and guards brought by the two stood outside the pavilion.

The meeting between the old and the young was very harmonious, and Liu Feng never mentioned important military affairs, but as a junior and a foreigner, he asked Yan Yan a lot of things about the customs and customs of Shuzhong.

Yan Yan also felt that this Liu Zhennan was not a musician, he was kind, and his previous vigilance was relaxed a lot, and he was interested, so he talked about the terroir of Shuzhong and talked about it eloquently.

Unconsciously, it was already three poles, and it was noon.

At this time, a horse galloped over, the soldier turned over and dismounted, came to the outside of the pavilion, and arched his hand: "The lord of Qiqi, the general of the horse ordered to report to the lord, the money and food gifts sent by Jiangzhou City have been accepted, the inventory is correct, please publicize it." ”

Liu Feng nodded, waved his hand and said, "I know, you can go back." ”

Yan Yan heard the words outside the pavilion clearly.

After the soldiers rode away, Yan Yan said: "General Liu, now that the counties of Badong have been lost, Liu Bei's side will be shaken and morale will be weakened, and this is the perfect time for our two families to work together to exterminate Liu Bei, but I don't know when General Liu plans to send troops north to Fucheng?" ”

Yan Yan saw that Liu Feng had received the food money, so he took the opportunity to urge Liu Feng to send troops.

"Let's not mention the matter of sending troops for the time being, I have something I want to ask the old general." Liu Feng suddenly said this.

Yan Yan was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Don't dare to ask for advice, I don't know what General Liu is asking about?" ”

"Yizhou is the country of abundance, with a million household registrations, countless civil and military talents, and such a land of outstanding people and spirits has been bullied by weak princes like Zhang Lu and Liu Bei, what does Yan Yan think is the reason for this?"

When Liu Feng spoke, his tone gradually changed.

Yan Yan didn't expect him to suddenly ask like this, and there seemed to be a mockery in his words.

Yan Yan's expression immediately turned cloudy, and he didn't answer, but asked: "The old man doesn't understand, why did General Liu suddenly ask this?" ”

Liu Feng smiled and said unhurriedly: "Actually, it's nothing, I'm just thinking, now that I'm fighting in the blood, I can certainly help Liu Yizhou relieve the immediate trouble." However, with Liu Yizhou's ability to govern the country, sooner or later there will be another disaster, and the people of Yizhou will also suffer another calamity because of this, doesn't General Yan feel sad for the situation of the people of Yizhou? ”

Liu Feng's words became sharper and sharper, and the spearhead was already pointing at Liu Zhang's incompetence.

In front of the courtiers, openly accusing the other party's lord of incompetence is a naked slap in the face.

"My family Liu Yizhou's surname is benevolent and righteous, benevolent and loves the people, and the disasters in Yizhou are all caused by those villains, how can I blame my father-in-law."

Yan Yan defended Liu Zhang with "righteousness and strict words", but that tone didn't sound very confident.

Liu Feng sneered: "Benevolence and love for the people? Hmph, speaking is always better than singing, then Liu Bei is not full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but as a result, he is like a plague god, and everywhere he passes, the people are all suffering. ”

Liu Feng's sudden change in attitude made Yan Yan feel a sense of foreboding, and in the face of his more and more blunt ridicule of Liu Zhang, Yan Yan couldn't sit still.

"General Liu, what do you mean by saying these words?"

Yan Yan drank in a deep voice, and when the soldiers outside the pavilion saw Yan Yan angry, they immediately became alert, and their hands quietly pressed to the hilt of the knife.

Liu Feng's expression also became solemn, and he sneered: "What do you mean? At the beginning, Liu Yizhou of your family sent someone to beg bitterly and asked me to send troops to rescue him. I, Liu Feng and Jing Chu soldiers, left their hometowns and fought bloodily into Shu to save him, but as a result, your self-proclaimed benevolent Liu Yizhou openly tore up the agreement in order to guard against me Liu Feng. I have to ask, where is Liu Jiyu's so-called 'righteousness'? ”

As Yan Yan expected, Liu Feng was still worried about the matter of Ba County.

When he had obviously agreed to change the contract, Liu Feng brought up such an old matter again, which obviously included an element of trickery.

It's just this matter, after all, Liu Zhang doesn't pay attention to faithfulness, Liu Feng occupies the commanding heights of reason, and reprimands him so sharply, although Yan Yan described it as solemn, but he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

After a moment of stalemate with a straight face, Yan Yan tried his best to calm down his excited emotions, and said silently: "This matter has nothing to do with my lord, it is I who strongly advise my lord not to cede Bajun to General Liu." ”

Liu Feng sneered, the more sarcastic his expression became, and he said disdainfully: "It turns out that just because of a word of advice from his subordinates, the master can be treacherous, I want to ask, which of you is the lord of this Yizhou!" ”

At this point, the meaning of turning the other cheek is no more obvious.

Yan Yan took a deep breath and said coldly: "Since General Liu has no sincerity, there is no need for this meeting to continue, Yan Mou took his leave first." ”

Yan Yan arched his hand, and immediately wanted to leave first.

At this moment, another horse came galloping, but this time it was the Jiangzhou sergeant who came back.

The soldier looked panicked, rolled his saddle and dismounted, and prostrated in front of Yan Yan and exclaimed: "Old general, the big thing is not good, something happened in Jiangzhou City." ”

Yan Yan changed color when he heard this, but a sly smile appeared at the corner of Liu Feng's mouth.

………………………… Half an hour ago, the east gate of Jiangzhou.

At the head of the city, Huang Quan was dressed in a green shirt, and he looked up at the sky at his head, and his skin was hot with hot stabs.

On the avenue, the convoy was slowly coming towards Jiangzhou City, which was the three thousand Jiangzhou soldiers who escorted Qian and Liang back.

A quarter of an hour ago, Yan Yan sent someone to report his safety, saying that his meeting with Liu Feng was quite harmonious.

Now, the grain team has returned smoothly, and Huang Quan's heartstrings, which have been tense for the past few days, are really loosened at this time.

After accepting the money and food, and establishing trust with Yan Yan, then, this Liu Zhen general had no reason to refuse to send troops.

As long as Liu Feng's army can go north along Fushui and go straight to Fucheng, the important town of Liu Bei's back road, the siege of Yucheng will be solved.

Huang Quan's mind has been flying for a long time.

At that time, Liu Bei had been destroyed, and Yizhou had returned to peace, so there were too many suggestions to be put forward to Liu Zhang, as long as Liu Zhang was willing to listen, he would definitely be able to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

Yizhou must not become a state of suffering and disasters like Jingzhou, another former paradise.

Between the thoughts, the soldiers carrying grain had arrived at the city.

The gates were wide open, and empty grain carts poured in.

Perhaps because the weather was too hot and humid, and the soldiers were basking in the sun all day, the soldiers of the grain team wanted to enter the city early to relieve their fatigue.

Hundreds of grain trucks did not take long to crowd the area inside and outside the city gates, and the noisy and shouting became a mess, and some people even fought to enter the city first.

Seeing the chaotic scene under the city, Huang Quan's brows couldn't help frowning.

Being able to quarrel over such a trivial matter as entering the city one step earlier, the difference in military discipline of the Yizhou Army can be seen.

Huang Quan has been thinking that they have a lot of soldiers and enough food in Yizhou, and there is no shortage of good generals like Zhang Ren, but they have been repeatedly defeated by Liu Bei, who has few soldiers, and in the final analysis, the way of governing the army is far inferior to the enemy.

"After Liu Bei is destroyed, I must advise Liu Jiyu to train the army well."

When Huang Quan secretly made a plan, he personally went down to the city.

He really can't stand this chaotic scene, there should be no shortage of Jingzhou soldiers here, if he is allowed to see such an unbearable scene, it will only increase his contempt for them Yizhou.

"Don't squeeze anymore, go one by one, who dares to grab the military law again."

Huang Quan rode a tall horse and shouted loudly.

His words drowned out the noise, and no one seemed to take him seriously, and right under his nose, a military academy was still rushing around.

Huang Quan was furious, repelled the crowd, went straight to the man, and said sharply: "What is your name, which battalion, report your name." ”

The man pushed the helmet up, and the face that was deeply sunk in was revealed, and a smirking face stared at Huang Quan, and said with a smile: "Brother Gongheng, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
