"Who is it?" Liu Feng asked.

"Lingling people, Liu Ba." Zhao Lei said with a smile.

"Liu Ba? I'm afraid this person is not easy to deal with. Liu Feng was stunned when he heard this, Zhao Lei said that it was Liu Ba who was found today, which means that Liu Ba came to Jiangxia. This is a miracle.

Did you come to him? Unlikely.

So, Liu Feng shook his head and said.

"It's not easy to deal with, but it doesn't necessarily mean that there is no chance. It's all sent to the door, and I invite the lord to try it. Zhao Lei bowed to Liu Fengyi.

Just like Zhao Lei said, he is not optimistic about Liu Feng's recruitment of Liu Ba, but he always has to try.

Liu Ba is really talented, he is famous as a young man, but he can resist the temptation and refuse Liu Biao's repeated calls and refuse to be a leader.

It proves that he has a good eye. I know very well that Liu Biao can't succeed, and it is a waste of time to defect to such a mediocre talent, so it is better to continue studying and improve my cultivation.

Now that Liu Ba is in his twenties, his fame has not only not declined due to self-hiding, but is like fermented wine, his fame is getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more sweet.

If Liu Feng can pull Liu Ba onto the boat, it will definitely be a big help.

"No matter how much he is, he can't watch him go to Cao Gong." Zhao Lei couldn't help it, and said softly.

This sentence stimulated Liu Feng.

Yes, according to historical progression. Liu Bei will definitely be defeated by Cao Ying and flee to Jiangling. Although history has undergone a small number of changes, some scholars have followed him to Jiangxia in advance.

But there are still some scholars who should follow Liu Bei.

At that time, Liu Ba was different from most of the scholars in Jingzhou, not only did he not follow Liu Bei, but went north to Cao Ying.

Liu Ba is a person with virtue and talent, and he is the second Shangshu order of Shu Han after Fazheng. Outstanding ability. Unlike Liao Li, who is talented and has no virtue, he can't succeed no matter where he goes.

If Cao Ying is allowed to take Liu Ba away, it is tantamount to increasing Cao Ying's power.

This is a huge blow to Liu Feng. His enemy has always been Cao Ying, this Liu Feng is very clear, what Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Liu Feng didn't pay much attention to.

Especially after having Taiwan, Sun Quan is a dish.

Cao Ying is different, he is a giant who is really capable, powerful, and has an army that can directly defeat him.

In order to fight Cao Ying, Liu Feng put Cao Ren under house arrest.

You must know that after the war, Cao Ying did not send someone to Liu Feng to ask for Cao Ren, and the envoys came three times. But Liu Fengdu sent Jiang Wan to send him away. I didn't come forward.

The conditions are more abundant each time. But Liu Feng refused.

Cao Ren is a general, a handsome talent. Under normal circumstances, Pang Tong might not be able to defeat Cao Ren. Put it back and die early.

Liu Ba's surname is similar to Cao Ren, and Liu Ba is a character who will enter and exit. Clever strategy, decisive victory thousands of miles away, not inferior to the law.

Do Shang Shu Ling, assist the government in an orderly manner.

To build a dynasty, we not only need top talents such as Pang Tong and Jiang Wan, but also first-class talents such as Ma Liang, as well as Zhao Lei, Xiang Lang and other talents.

Zhao Lei's words woke up Liu Feng.

Liu Ba must not let go, it is necessary to win over, but if it can't be wooed.

The anger in Liu Feng's eyes flashed, he could resist the temptation and not let Cao Ren go. can be ruthless and destroy celebrities with hot hands.

It's just that the anger in Liu Feng's eyes just flashed away. did not let Zhao Lei notice.

This era is a strange time, and there will be a sense of heart-to-heart between Baume & Mercier. If the news of his killing of Liu Ba spreads, it will be a stain on his reputation.

Therefore, you must be cautious and careful to kill Liu Ba. The fewer people who know, the better.

If it doesn't work, let Gan Ning do it. Let Liu Ba capsize the boat and die. Liu Feng's heart loomed in murder.

But on the surface, it is normal, very natural.

"Where is he now?" Liu Feng asked.

"Settle in a house in the east of the city." Zhao Lei saw Liu Feng asking, and seemed to have the intention of dispatching, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Liu Ba's kind of talent has high moral integrity, and general recruitment may be useless. Liu Biao is an example, and Liu Feng must go out in person to have a chance.

"Sir, go down, let me think about it first." Liu Feng nodded and said to Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei also knew that it was not easy to subdue Liu Ba, and he had to think carefully. So he got up very straightforwardly and said, "No." ”

After Zhao Lei left, Liu Feng fell into deep thought.

Liu Ba? How to deal with it? Talking about ambition, talking about the emperor's hegemony? Or is it a surprising move?

Liu Feng shook his head, these are all empty words. With Liu Ba's IQ, he will definitely not be fooled.

How?

………………… Indeed, as Zhao Lei said, Liu Ba settled in a house in the east of the city.

Liu Ba was born in a famous family, although his prestige and influence are not enough to compete with the Cai family and the Huang family, but it is only a thin line.

His grandfather was Cangwu Taishou, and his father was Jiangxia Taishou.

Because his father used to be the Taishou of Jiangxia, he left a small mansion in Jiangxia.

Liu Ba is different from Liao Li, the purpose is to tease Liu Feng to vent his anger, so he wants to hide his whereabouts. Liu Ba doesn't need it, he is just coming brightly.

Nowadays, Xiling City is full of a large number of literati and scholars. Some became officials in Xiling, and some settled in Xiling. So it's easy for someone to recognize Liu Ba.

Zhao Lei learned from a subordinate that Liu Ba had come to Jiangxia.

In the study, Liu Ba fell into deep thought.

Liu Feng is really good and capable.

Liu Ba is not as superficial as Liao Li, only observing Liu Feng's bizarre policies, but not understanding the people's feelings.

Liu Ba knew that when Huang Zu was in the past, the whole Jiangxia was very tired, and the people had dishes. But what about now? Under Liu Feng's governance, the people of Jiangxia lived and worked in peace and contentment.

are very supportive of Liu Feng.

The people's will is stable. Needless to say, the war defeated Zhou Yu and Cao Ren successively. Liu Feng had already proved to all the people in Jingchu that he was able to guard Jiangxia.

What about the political situation?

With Jiang Wan and a group of other people, it is more stable.

Now Liu Ba thinks that it is not unreasonable for someone to compare Liu Feng with Jiangdong. All of them are politically stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. And there is strength, power, and soldiers.

Moreover, Liu Feng has an advantage over Sun Quan.

Jiangxia, Jiujiang, and Changsha do not have any huge families.

Unlike Koto, there are big families everywhere you go. Sun Quan started to do things, and he was very careful. Liu Feng is different, the decrees he issued are very smooth.

Therefore, Liu Ba felt that Liu Feng was more threatening than Sun Quan.

"This kind of bear and tiger person, even if Cao Gong comes in person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." Liu Ba sighed.

At this moment, an entourage entered the door and reported: "Master, General Yang Wu asks to see you." ”

"What?" Liu Ba was a little surprised for a while and said.

"General Yang Wu is asking to see you outside the door." The entourage reported again.

"Liu Feng is here? According to what I inquired about, Liu Feng did not personally come forward to recruit talents, but ordered Jiang Wan to treat scholars well. How did you come here in person? Liu Ba felt strange in his heart.

But on the face, Liu Ba raised his hand very calmly and said, "Please come in." ”

"No." The attendant answered, and then walked out.

It was indeed Liu Feng who was outside the door. He had already thought of a countermeasure, so he instructed Zhao Lei to find a guide and come to visit Liu Ba in person.

Very step-by-step knock on the door.

Soon, the entourage turned back, bent down towards Liu Feng and saluted, "The master has a general." ”

"Thank you." Liu Feng answered, and then ordered Kou Shui and the others who came with him to wait outside, and then got up and walked in.

The house is not very large, and the study is very close to the door. A moment later, Liu Feng was taken outside the study by his entourage.

"Please." Outside the study, the attendant bent over.

"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded and walked in.

Although Liu Ba did not greet Liu Feng in person, when Liu Feng entered the study, he still got up to greet him.

"The general's visit is really brilliant." Liu Ba smiled and got up and saluted.

"Uninvited, it's a villain." Liu Feng shook his head and said with a slight smile.

Both of them said a word, Liu Ba asked Liu Feng to sit down, and he sat down again.

After sitting down, Liu Ba asked, "I don't know what the general's visit is?" ”

"It is rumored that Mr. hates Liu Bei very much, and I want to ask for a reason." Liu Feng smiled and made it clear, this question is very important.

Liu Feng knew that Liu Ba hated Liu Bei very much, why was this so?

Liu Ba was surprised, he admired Cao Ying and hated Liu Bei for a long time. Many people know about it, but few ask him why.

Liu Feng and Liu Bei have a complicated relationship, he personally came to ask this question, what is the reason?

Liu Ba was puzzled in his heart, but his face was very steady and he had no intention of hiding it.

"It's just that despising them is too self-conscious." Liu Ba said with a smile.

"Oh?" Liu Feng said strangely, this was beyond his expectations, but it was within the scope of acceptance, and it would be of great help to him in the next words.

"Today, Cao Gong is no different from the time of heaven, he commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, swept through the heroes, unified the north, and made the war stop. Tianzhong is talented, and although Liu Bei is heroic, he is not as good as him. He was defeated twice in Xuzhou, and he almost died when he went east and west. To this day, they are still inciting the ignorant people to resist the time of heaven and prevent the great cause of unification. This man is truly hateful. As he spoke, Liu Ba's eyes showed a gnashing gaze.

It turned out that this was the reason why Liu Ba hated Liu Bei and liked Cao Ying.

Cao Ying's exploits are huge, and if he can dominate the world, it will be beneficial to the people of the world. But Liu Bei is a person with ambitions, but he has been defeated repeatedly.

It is not good for the people.

At this moment, Liu Feng had a sense of admiration for Liu Ba's virtue.

He likes Cao Ying not because he likes him as a person, but because he likes Cao Ying to be able to dominate the world. I hate Liu Bei because I hate Liu Bei for not being able to do enough to prevent the great cause of unification.

Liu Ba's virtues are very good, and his IQ is also very high.

So he hated Liu Bei, who was obviously ambitious and wanted to steal the Central Plains, but in the name of the Han family, he rebelled against Cao Ying under the slogan of reviving the Han family.

Cause unrest.

Especially Liu Bei, who obviously has no ability.

This is the core of Liu Ba's hatred of Liu Bei.

Liu Feng saw in it his hope of subduing Liu Ba.
