Chapter 31: Deceit

Shi Xun wrote a long letter and sent someone to Jia Meng to persuade Liu Feng to surrender. Liu Feng got the letter, unfolded it and took a look, only to see that the opening chapter was: "Taiwei Wei, Governor Yongliangjing Sanzhou soldiers and horses are, worship General Liu's footsteps......"

The title is quite flattering, and he does not directly accuse Liu Feng of being a thief and usurper, and of course he will not recognize his status as the prince of the Han Dynasty, so he avoids the important and simply calls him "General Liu".

Then analyze the situation and say that now my Wang Shi is attacking Shu, and since he has won the Han Dynasty, he has recovered his chin, and the two roads converge, with a total of 300,000 people - of course, Liu Feng will not believe this exaggerated figure at all - even if there is no civil strife in Shu and the whole division refuses, it will not be the opponent of the Wang Division, not to mention General Liu, you may not be able to be born in Chengdu......

"The general's original surname is Dou, not Liu Ye, and now after abandoning his parents and becoming a person, this is indecent; The catastrophe is coming and he doesn't know how to avoid it, and the king doesn't know how to leave, which is not wise. It is rumored that Liu Bei wants to send all of Shu to the general, but he does not love the general, and makes the general protect his young son for the sake of the city's grace. The equipment is sincere, with his wisdom, Hu does not first summon the general and then remove Wu Yi, but makes Yi block the general in Chengdu? Then the first rat can know ......"

Liu Bei ordered to pass on his adopted son instead of his parents, and Shixun understood this to a certain extent, and even admired it slightly. Although in order to protect the foundation of Shuzhong, he was worried that his two own sons were too young to support the overall situation, so it was not surprising that he chose to stand up, but he really dared to pass on the throne to adopt his son, which shows that Liu Xuande is by no means a pedantic person - perhaps it is also related to his low background, the lack of a clear distinction between the descendants of the family, and the stinky temper of looking down on raising and redundancy. However, because the arrangements before his death were not safe enough, it led to chaos in Shuzhong, and the situation was worse than the posthumous Liu Chan. Yeshun doesn't understand much about this.

If Liu Bei left his will, he passed on the throne to Liu Chan. Guan Yu will sincerely assist. may not anoint Wu Yi's butcher's knife, and Liu Feng is in Hanzhong, even if he wants to rebel, he has to pass Zhang Fei's level first. Maybe Huang Quan will help him, maybe Zhang Fei will sympathize with him, but including Guan Yu, Zhang Yide will theoretically not do it against Guan Yunchang. Of course, they are like brothers. is also the language of later generations, whether the relationship between Guan and Zhang is really so iron, and whether the loyalty of the two to Liu Bei is really so strong, in fact, there can be a question mark. But in any case, Liu Feng is only in turmoil, and the turmoil that may be caused is limited after all.

However, not everyone is able to carefully weigh the pros and cons so that every word and deed minimizes the risks and maximizes the benefits – if people were so sensible, most strife and turmoil would no longer arise. That is, in the case of Wu Yi, he disobeyed Liu Bei's edict in order to gain power. In fact, it is a big gamble, not only to bet on the success of the coup. To control Chengdu, you have to gamble on the smooth killing of Liu Feng and monopolize the power, and even bet that Cao Weifang didn't react quickly, leaving him enough time to implement the overall plan. If the odds of winning or losing any of the above gambles are five or five, then the probability of success is not even two percent. Rather than this, it is better to obey the last order, plot to suppress Guan Yu and curry favor with Liu Feng more safely.

However, for some people, there is no difference between a 90% chance of winning and a 10% chance of winning, and the result may be a loss anyway, and for others, there is no difference between a 90% chance of winning and a 10% chance of winning, and the result may be a win anyway. And even if Liu Bei is good at understanding people's hearts, it is impossible to be exhausted after all, in his opinion, he is not a son-in-law anyway, for Wu Yi, whether Liu Feng or Liu Chan does not have the blood and blood of his Wu family, no matter who he passes the throne to, he will not do Wu Yi's business, so there is no defense. As for whether it is better to assist the young master or to assist the master, plus the entanglement of the group's interests, I am afraid that Liu Bei himself will not think about it so deeply......

The result that can't be considered is that it has caused a big chaos, and it is Xun who is now using this matter to shake Liu Feng's heart - if the old man really wants to pass on the throne to you, he has no second intentions, will he make a mistake in leaving his will? then he still hesitates in his heart. It was because of this that the chaos in Shuzhong was caused, causing you to be in danger, what do you feel for his kindness?

"Today, the general can't take the king's division, restore the Han Dynasty, retreat can't enter Chengdu, and the peace and usurpation are like a fish in the middle, and the defeat can be expected. If a person cannot be born, and asks for Wang Shuzhong, how can he get it? Isn't it ridiculous that a praying mantis will anoint the kiss of a yellow finch and still covet a cicada? Now it is the general's plan, if Mo Ruo changes the map and returns to the king, then the servant will help the general to enter Chengdu, and the sword is treacherous to remove regret. After the general was the former Han Luo Kingdom, the servant played the Son of Heaven and restored the title, and he was the first king of the ......."

The ancestor of the Dou family, who was originally named the Marquis of Luo County, was later removed from the title, but Xun said, as long as you surrender, I will help you enter Chengdu and slaughter Wu Yi and Li Yan who caused you to fall into such an embarrassing situation, and take revenge. Then I will play the Son of Heaven, and then order the Luo Kingdom, and even give you a higher title-

"The king is in the middle of the river, the fake king is also, and the king is everywhere, that is, he wants to be reluctant but cannot get it; Attributed to Wu Wei, the true marquis is also, and the mountains and rivers can be expected. Servants who know the generals and wise men should think more and make good plans early. It is easy to have 'good to see the adult', and Shiyun 'seeks more blessings for himself', and the general is reluctant. ”

Liu Fenglanxin was furious, and said hatefully: "If you are alone and die, you can't survive in the end!" But when he turned his head, he couldn't help but feel sad, and he asked Huang Quan: "Now that Sanba has been lost, Gan Xingba is dead, and the Wei people will follow me, what can I do?" "I'm ready to sacrifice, but ...... Is there any way not to die?

Huang Quan said that since the enemy is coming behind him, then we will definitely not be able to defend Jiameng Pass, so we have to retreat: "Hanzhong enters Shu, and the plank road is difficult to walk, even if you come from Sanba, you are also afraid of the way." Now I retreat to Yuxian, its city is strong, and it will be able to hold it for a long time, but I am afraid that Chengdu will not accept it, and there will be no food and straw......"

We can continue to retreat backwards, all the way to Ruxian, echoing Chengdu and will be able to defend for a long time. The enemy army is coming from afar, the grain transportation is not continuous, the more we shrink, the greater their consumption, and after a long time, they will inevitably retreat - unless we send troops from Jiaojiao and Guangguang and detour from the south and central China, there will be no third Wei army to come and copy our back road. It's just that the road in Nanzhong is even more difficult to walk, even if Zhu Bao and Yonghong descend to Wei, they will not let the army of Wei pass through the border casually, we will guard Luo County for about half a year, and wait for the enemy to be tired. It can still be done.

However. I'm afraid of such an emergency. Wu Yi, Li Yan and others still refuse to let Your Highness enter Chengdu, and even want to jam our necks in the grain and grass. If we only rely on the grain storage in Yuxian County, I'm afraid even we won't be able to support it for too long. "Please go to Chengdu first, meet with Xu Yuanzhi secretly, and say that Wu and Li take state affairs as the priority."

Liu Feng sighed and said that there is no better way, I can only hope that Gongheng can talk about the two thieves...... But how do we retreat now? is afraid that the Wei army will chase after him, and he will be defeated if he retreats. A defeat will be out of control......

Huang Quan said: "Fortunately, Hongfu sent this book. "For the sake of now, you can only pretend to surrender, you write back to agree on the time of surrender, in order to numb the other party's nerves, and then leave tonight, absolutely not delayed.

Liu Feng had no choice but to reply to Shixun, saying that after careful consideration, I felt that it was better to surrender. But not everyone in the army is willing to surrender, and I still need to work for a while. I hope you have a grace period of three days, three days later. I will definitely open the Jiameng Pass and bind myself to the front of the formation, so as to wait for the judgment of the Son of Heaven.

The letter to Wei Ying was the great joy of Xun Jian: "If Feng is willing to surrender, why should I be stingy for three days?" "Immediately approved and said okay, then I will wait for you for three days. When the Shu envoy left the tent, Fu Zhu suddenly came over and reminded Shi Xun: "I am afraid that this is not Liu Feng's true intention, but a false ear." ”

Shi Xun Yi frowned and asked, "What does Zifu mean by this?" He said: "Now the Jingzhou army is coming, behind the enemy, if he does not surrender, he will be far away, and he is afraid of our army's pursuit, so he uses perfunctory words to confuse my ears." "Yes Hoon, do you have any evidence? I said that I had no evidence, but I guessed based on the clues: "The governor makes Ma You often inquire about the terroir of Shuzhong and the temperament of the thief, but Yun Liu Feng is arrogant and rude, and the ministers are resentful, but Wu and Li killed Guan Yu, so they are temporarily from the seal, and want to avenge Guan Yu and others." If he really surrenders, he will not listen to his ministers, so why should he wait for three days? And the reply must ask the governor to swear an oath, take his life, and even ask for a great power, so that he can be so obedient? ”

Liu Feng is a person who is both arrogant and stubborn, if he really wants to surrender, he will not care if there are generals who do not agree, and he will not ask for a three-day time limit to persuade the generals at all. And with his character, he will definitely put up a shelf in the reply letter, and then ask you to make a clear commitment to save his life, and even directly ask to be named a big country and a good town, so as to find a stable way back for himself. People like him suddenly whispered, and they didn't want any inside or face, which was really suspicious......

As far as I know, even if this kind of guy has a knife on his neck, even if he has decided to bend his knees, then he must first put his feet on the shelf and put a few cruel words. He wasn't really besieged by us, and he was about to die.

Shi Xun was as good as a stream, and immediately clapped his palms and said: "What Zifu said is reasonable!" "But why didn't you stop me just now? I've promised to wait for him for three days now, what should I do?

Frustrated and said, "Soldiers are not tired of cheating" - "Since he is afraid of me first, why should the governor be deceived later?" "Liu Feng wants to paralyze us, just take advantage of your promise, let's paralyze him in the past-" I expect Liu Feng to leave tonight, but he can wave his heels and go straight into Shuzhong! ”

Fu Zifu was also afraid that he was a dignified Confucian sect and an important minister of the imperial court, and he refused to break his promise to deceive him, so he had already thought of a large set of words, hoping to persuade Shi Xun. Who would have thought that Hoon didn't have that string in his head at all - what kind of moral problem is bullying the enemy? I'm not Song Xianggong - I immediately promised: "You can urgently summon Cao Zidan and others to discuss!" "I held back all the words in my stomach of frustration.

So the generals gathered to discuss countermeasures, and Cao Zhen also agreed with Fu Zhi's suggestion, saying that I would immediately go down to assign tasks, and tonight I would take advantage of the night to advance forward and take the Jiameng Pass directly - "If you can catch its tail, then the big sword, the small sword, Zitong, Fuxian, and all Yike will also ......"

To the south of Jiameng Pass, there are big sword mountain, small sword mountain, etc., its peak is as high as a sword, so it is named, the terrain is extremely dangerous - so in the original history, Zhuge Liang built a fortress in this place to defend, it is the famous "Sword Pavilion". Cao Zhen said that as long as we follow behind the butt of the Shu people, chase and kill all the way, and drive all the way, then they will have no chance to stop and defend the danger, even if the terrain is terrifying, they can pass smoothly - just like Xu Huang drove into the field that day, as long as he bites the enemy army, he can ignore all kinds of defense facilities outside the city. It is estimated that Liu Feng can only retreat to Mianzhu and even Ruoxian, if Wu Yi and Li Yan don't let him into Chengdu, then he will die-"If they meet, things are not yet predictable." ”

Yes Xun said that you are thinking too far, let's go ahead and talk about it. Before the words fell, Ma Jian next to him suddenly stood up: "I have a clumsy plan, but Wu and Li will not accept Liu Fengye!" (To be continued.) )
