When he returned to the post house and asked the guards, he learned that Xueba had not come back yet, so Liu Feng sent more than a dozen groups of people out to find Xueba to come back, and the rest packed up their things and prepared to return.
"What are we doing, we're not done yet?" Xueba came back to see Liu Feng and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"I can't help it, the emperor sent someone to find out the truth of Yizhou, let me go back immediately, I can't help but listen!" Liu Feng smiled bitterly.
"I didn't have to let you stay, why do you have such an expression?" Xueba is really dissatisfied.
"What? Have it? Liu Feng immediately returned to normal and asked deliberately.
"Poof!" Xueba laughed, "I'm just teasing you, as for that?" ”
"I'm cooperating with you!" Liu Feng quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: Are women so fickle?
"Hey, you haven't said yet, who is here this time?" While waiting for the messenger of the Son of Heaven outside the city, Xueba asked again.
"Sheng Xian and Zuo Feng, you are no stranger!" Liu Feng said.
"Of course, although the official is not big, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a famous little eunuch of the Three Kingdoms, just because he pit Lu Zhi and became popular; Isn't the other one the head of the Hui Sheng family? It's quite famous in the place, haven't you visited his hometown before? "Xueba opened his mouth.
"That's right, it's them." Liu Feng nodded, "Zuo Feng has dealt with him before, that guy is just greedy, as long as he has money, he can say anything." As for Sheng Xian, he is not only famous in the local area, but also famous in the court, otherwise he would not have been asked to be this envoy. ”
"He is Shang Shulang, he works in Shang Shutai on weekdays, I haven't seen him before, I don't know if it's good to deal with. If you can make friends on this voyage, it will still be beneficial for you to become the ruler of Jizhou in the future. Liu Feng didn't hide his intentions from Xueba.
"It's a good idea." Xueba agreed, and then asked, "You have been in Luoyang for a long time, have you seen those historical celebrities?" ”
"A lot, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian needless to say, the three princes and Jiuqing have all seen it, and there are many that can't be said, He Jin, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Xun You and others have seen it, and Yang Biao, which is the word his father gave me. It's just the last time I saw him, and this time he seems to be keeping filial piety at home and no longer in court. ”
"And have you ever thought about trying to recruit them?" Xueba said excitedly, "With so many historical figures gathered, even if you recruit one casually, you will make a lot of money." ”
"Eldest sister, do you think this is the kind of game you used to have, and you can recruit whoever you want?" Liu Feng said with a smile, "I don't want to, but you don't know how high the IQ of the aborigines is, with my current conditions, what to use to recruit people, you can't let people be county officials or Cao Xiaoyi, right?" ”
"Besides, the big man has not collapsed, who dares to recruit talents privately? At the beginning, Yuan Shao loved his name and befriended heroes, wasn't he sued by Zhao Zhong. If I did, wouldn't I have seized the grip on those who looked down on me? ”
"yes, this game is really different from the previous games!" Learn to be domineering.
"That's right, in the previous games, the map the player was on was from low to high, what kind of strength had what kind of enemy, but it didn't work here. All of them are on the same map, but there is a strict hierarchy, and if you dare to disobey, you will be directly cleaned up by high-level people. What master disdains the little people, there is no such thing here. Liu Feng also sighed.
"But that's fine, if there were no restrictions from those rules, I'm afraid that this game would have been chaotic a long time ago, and someone could do anything to massacre civilians."
"But when the princes compete for hegemony, there will not be so many restrictions on the players, and this will still happen." Learn to be domineering.
"It's possible, I hope the system will take action then!" Liu Feng was also helpless about this, looked up at the distance, and said in surprise, "Look, they are here." ”
The first one that came was also a medium-sized building ship, under the banner of the emperor's envoy, surrounded by four small building ships, and there were no other ships.
The ship of the emperor's envoy can of course only be used as the main ship, and after Liu Feng took Xueba, Bai Jian and others on this ship, he ordered Wang Yu to set off and return.
"Father-in-law Zuo, this is Sheng Shilang, right?" Liu Feng got on the boat and found Zuo Feng and a handsome man in his thirties and forties waiting for him.
Shilang is also a kind of Shangshulang, Shangshulang has been working for three years, and he can be called Shilang.
"That's right, Master Hou, this is Sheng Xian Sheng Xiaozhang, and he is also the main envoy of this envoy, and this official is only a deputy envoy." Zuo Feng smiled. He is Zhang Rang's confidant, and he knows that this mission is very important, and if he does it well, he may no longer be a little yellow door when he comes back.
"I've seen Sheng Shilang." Liu Feng said.
"Lord Liu is polite, the position of the subordinate official is low, and he should not be like this. This time he was just doing what he was told. "Sheng Xian is quite polite.
"Well, where does Master Sheng speak? On behalf of His Majesty, Lord Sheng deserves this treatment. Liu Feng said with a smile, and then introduced Xueba, Bai Jian and others one by one.
"Guys, let's go first, it's going back and forth for a few months!" As soon as Liu Feng finished his introduction, Zuo Feng interjected.
"It's rude to be a lower official, Lord Liu, please." Sheng Xian realized that something was wrong, and they were all blowing on the deck, so he invited everyone in.
It's already October, and the weather is getting cooler, in fact, even if Liu Hong doesn't urge, Liu Feng won't stay for too long, he doesn't want to stay in Luoyang for a few more months if the Yellow River suddenly freezes one day.
Sheng Xian is a gentleman, very polite, he looks in his 30s. In fact, he is already in his early 40s, although he is a close minister of the emperor, but his rank is very low, and his official calculation is not good. Maybe he has been in Luoyang for a long time, his personality has been smoothed out, and he doesn't have the arrogance of a big family at all. After all, compared with the Central Plains, Huiji is really out of the flow. Only those frogs at the bottom of the well who have never seen the world will feel that the world is the biggest.
"Master Shan......" returned to the cabin and sat down, and Liu Feng opened his mouth again to prepare for a relationship with Sheng Xian.
"Lord Liu doesn't have to be polite, just call my cousin." Sheng Xian interrupted Liu Feng.
"Okay, Brother Xiaozhang, don't call me an adult, call me my cousin!" Liu Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, Brother Zhiyuan, do you have anything to say?" Sheng Xian said with a smile.
"Actually, I have heard of Brother Xiaozhang's name for a long time, and when I went to Shanyin to visit Lord Taishou some time ago, I once visited my home, and then I knew that Brother Xiaozhang was in Luoyang. It's a pity that I couldn't meet, but fortunately, Brother Xiaozhang came this time. Liu Feng said.
"A little vanity, why worry about it, in Luoyang, I know what the family is like, and the big family can boast in the county." Sheng Xian smiled bitterly.
"Brother Xiaozhang is humble, compared to me, your family is very prosperous. Brother Xiaozhang wants to go home this time? Just dropped by. Liu Feng asked.
"I'm duty-bound and I won't leave home halfway." Sheng Xian shook his head and said, "When is it time to come back, it's not too late to come back." ”
"It is rumored that Sheng Xiaozhang has noble morals, abides by etiquette and respects the law, and when I saw it today, it was indeed the case. I want to be friends with Brother Xiaozhang, don't dislike Brother Xiaozhang. Liu Feng said with a smile.
"Zhiyuan is there, I will also ask Zhiyuan's name, Zhiyuan is in Huiji, I am not at home in the future, if Zhiyuan arrives at home, I can let the dog entertain." Sheng Xian said with a smile.
……
Dealing with them, Liu Feng has always been in progress, and others, including Xueba, are all watching the excitement.
After chatting, they were about to go back to their rooms, Liu Feng quietly grabbed Zuo Feng and asked, "Father-in-law Zuo, are you satisfied with this errand?" What do you think of Sheng Xian's personality? How did you get along with him? ”
"There's nothing to say about his virtues, he is a clear stream, so he naturally looks down on us lieutenants, and he doesn't talk to me at all except for official business." Zuo Feng said indignantly, "But it doesn't matter, I don't want to make friends with him." ”
"Indeed, the father-in-law runs his own errand, as long as His Majesty is pleased. As for these people, I will talk about it when my father-in-law takes power later. Liu Feng said, "This Hou is not as good as his father-in-law, he is in Huiji, some things must rely on these big clans, and he can only make friends with all his heart. With that, Liu Feng handed over the receipt of 5,000 gold.
"Master Hou is polite, I can't take care of your business." Zuo Feng took it with a smile. He knew that as long as he took it, someone would bring him the money in a moment.
"Then thank you, father-in-law." Liu Feng said with a smile.
The fleet went all the way out of the Yellow River to the south, and as time went by, under Liu Feng's deliberate friendship, the relationship with Sheng Xian became more and more harmonious. Even Xueba, after showing good learning, often chatted with Sheng Xian with Liu Feng, which made his career progress a lot.
Just when Liu Feng thought that he would return to Yongning all the way smoothly, suddenly one day, they on the deck found that the formation of the fleet was changing. After a while, Wang Yu sent someone to come by small boat to report, and a naval battle was found not far ahead.
The horn sounded, the flag was also fought, the navy had its own command system, Liu Feng didn't understand, so he could only watch.
Sheng Xian and Zuo Feng sensed the change, and they also came out, and they were a little at a loss when they heard Liu Feng say the situation.
"Brother Zhiyuan, among us, you are the only one who has experienced the war, so it is up to you to decide the command." Eventually, Sheng Xian said.
"I don't know about water warfare, let's leave this battle to Wang Sima to command, he is already preparing." Liu Feng said, "But the top priority is unified command, who is the commander of the envoy's fleet, and is he willing to hand over the command?" ”
"It's okay, I'll give him an order, this mission, I have full control." Sheng Xian said.
"Okay, Brother Xiaozhang, the time is urgent, you can arrange it now!" Liu Feng said.
The commander of the naval army sent by Liu Hong is only a 4th order, he has never been on the battlefield, and he is not famous, although he is a little unwilling, but he can only hand over the command under Sheng Xian's order. Fortunately, Liu Feng gave face and asked him to be Wang Yu's deputy.
Taking over the command, Wang Yu quickly reorganized the formation, and in the center was of course the main ship where the envoy was.
"Brother Xiaozhang, Father-in-law Zuo, Ben Hou wants to understand the situation, so he will go over first. You can stay on the ship in peace, and nothing will happen. Liu Feng was eager to understand the situation.
"Stay safe!" Sheng Xian and Zuo Feng both admonished.
"What's going on?" Taking Bai Jian and the others to the boat where Wang Yu was, Liu Feng asked as soon as possible.
"The ships in front of us discovered the naval battle, and we didn't know the situation, so we had to slow down and prepare. But don't worry, according to the spies' report, there are very few fighting ships and small building ships over there, so there is no threat to us. Wang Yu said.
"That's good." Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "How far is this?" ”
"There are still more than 10 miles, but if you go further, you will enter the warning range of the other party. Fortunately, our pathfinder boat was kept far away, so it was not discovered by the other party. Wang Yu said.
"Find a suitable place to stay immediately, and let's go see the situation first." Liu Feng thought for a while, made a decision, and then ordered.
Naval battle, he has been in the game for so long, he has not seen it, how can he miss this opportunity? (To be continued.) )
