Chapter 504, get another 7th rank

Qin Song and Chen Duan are just the fillers of Liu Feng's trip, according to the records in the history books, these two people are the characters who attacked Jiangdong from Sun Ce with Zhang Hong, but they died young, so they have no reputation, so they are only 6th order at most. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But Zhang Hong is different, Jiangdong Erzhang's name is even above Gu Yong, at least the strength of the 7th order. This is one of the reasons why Liu Feng would rather fall out with Qiao Rui, the commander of Yuan Shu's army, and come to Jiangdu instead of attacking the more wealthy county of Guangling, because Zhang Hong is very likely to be here.

Now it seems that he made the right bet, not only met Zhang Hong, but also directly subdued Qin Song and Chen Duan.

But the goal has still not been achieved, and Zhang Hong is still hesitating.

"Mr. Zigang, do you have any concerns?" Seeing that Zhang Hong was deep in thought and silent for a long time, Liu Feng asked.

"Lord, in fact, before the arrival of the lord, we discussed the current situation with Brother Zigang, not that Brother Zigang didn't want to go to Jiangdong, but that he was worried that the lord would not be able to hold Jiangdong in the end, so he made a wedding dress for others." At this moment, Qin Song glanced at Chen Duan and got up and said.

"Oh, Mr. Zizuna has this concern?" Liu Feng looked at Zhang Hong again.

"Not bad." Zhang Hong finally spoke, "In my opinion, although the three counties of Jiangdong are unified and their strength is quite strong, if they want to confront Yuan Highway of the Fourth World and the Third Duke, they are still invincible, maybe one day Yuan Shu will attack Jiangdong in a big way, how will the general deal with it then?" ”

Yuan Shu is blind to his profound background, but he can't recruit talents, and he can't even do the superficial articles of his brother Yuan Shao. Otherwise, it will be the turn of these people around to get away.

Xuzhou's talents are still quite sad, after the chaos in the world, they put on an incompetent leader Tao Qian; Qingzhou was a mess, and half of it was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army; Cao Cao of Yanzhou has already pinched up with Xuzhou and formed an insoluble grudge...... In addition, there is only Liu Feng in Jiangdong.

At this time, in addition to studying tours, half of the scholars rarely left their hometowns, unless there was a court expedition, otherwise they could only return home. The arrival of the troubled times gave them the opportunity, and the good ministers chose the lord to serve, and they no longer had to wait for the few pitiful places to be examined.

As a scholar, of course, Zhang Hong did not want his talent to be buried, when he was conscripted, the court was dark and the situation was unstable, so he refused to apply, stayed at home with peace of mind, and avoided several major chaos. But he's no longer young, and if he has the chance, he naturally wants to show his talent.

But the premise is that there is a stable environment for him to act, not a war that is always coming, as it is. Otherwise, he would rather keep waiting.

"It turns out that Mr. Zigang is worried about the safety of Jiangdong!" Liu Feng suddenly realized, "If that's the case, then Mr. can rest assured, Yuan Shu won't have a chance to cross Jiangdong in this life." ”

"Oh, why is that?" Zhang Hong wondered why Liu Feng had such confidence.

"If it was before, maybe I would still be worried about Yuan Shu going to Jiangdong, but since he entered Xuzhou, I don't have to worry about Yuan Shu going down to Jiangdong suddenly." Liu Feng looked light-hearted, "Of course, that is under the condition that I don't take the initiative to provoke Yuan Shu without making a death, otherwise, Yuan Shu will have no chance of going to Jiangdong." ”

"I want to hear about it!" Zhang Hong asked, while Chen Duan and Qin Song, who had just taken refuge, also made a listening gesture, and they didn't want their new master to be defeated.

"The barren land of Jiangdong, Yuan Shu can't look down on it, otherwise, he would have come to attack Jiangdong a long time ago, and it wouldn't be my turn at all. The reason why I am standing still now is to accept my results. Both sides are well aware of this mentality, and the current cooperation is just a mutual use. He thought he could subdue me, but he didn't know that when he wanted to do it, Jiangdong was no longer the same as before. Liu Feng did not reserve his malice towards Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Shu's thoughts about Yanzhou, Xuzhou and even Jingzhou are more than Jiangdong. In Jingzhou, Liu Jingsheng integrated the Jingzhou clan, defeated Sun Wentai, and broke Yuan Shu's outstretched palm; was also beaten back by Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde on his back; Only Xuzhou is the fat on Yuan Shu's mouth, and he just happened to meet Taozhou Mu's invitation, how could Yuan Shu leave Xuzhou again. ”

"Actually, don't hide it from Mr. Zigang, this initiative to attack Xuzhou, in fact, is the decision I made after discussing with Yuan Highway, nominally under the banner of Jiangdong, but it is still the general of Yuan Highway who is in charge, and the territory he has seized will also be handed over to Yuan Highway, which is the territory he 'recaptured' from me, and naturally it will not be handed over to Taozhou Mu. Coupled with Taozhou Mu's promise to the country of Pi, Mr. Zigang, do you say that he Yuan Highway will work hard to run Xuzhou, or will he go south to Jiangdong? Especially now, in Yuan Highway's hands, there are very few naval troops, and he doesn't even have much investment in the naval army, even if the Jiangdong naval army has suffered heavy losses because of the previous civil war, it will definitely be able to use Yuan Shu. If he doesn't work hard for a few years, he won't even have a chance to pass. But in a few years, who can predict the situation? ”

"If that's all it takes, I'm afraid it won't be a reason for Koto's safety!" Zhang Hong frowned.

"Of course, these are just superficial things, and no one knows what will happen, so I took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Xuzhou to attack the city and land for Yuan Highway!" Liu Feng was still smiling.

"Oh, the general said that, is it ......" Zhang Hong seemed to understand.

"Yes, it is to strengthen the strength of Yuan Highway and attract the siege of the surrounding princes." Liu Feng nodded in affirmation, "You must know that the surroundings of Yuan Highway are not all people like Taozhou Mu. Liu Biao has the hatred of Nanyang, although Sun Jian is attached to Yuan Shu, he has been pitted by Yuan Shu several times, and the hatred in his heart will not be less than Liu Biao; Although Yuan Shao is far away, if Yuan Shu becomes stronger, I am afraid that he will be the most disturbing person, which is related to the future of the Yuan family; Cao Cao has great ambitions, and he will not sit idly by and watch Yuan Shu grow...... Therefore, entering Xuzhou is definitely not a good opportunity for Yuan Shu, but his talisman. I can't see it now, but once there is a chance, these surrounding princes will definitely fall into the ground, and even the Xiliang Army and the Yellow Turban Army may come to join in the fun. ”

"Therefore, the stronger Yuan Shu is, the more hostility there will be, and the more stable Jiangdong will be. And once they make a move, they will not give Yuan Shu a chance to make a comeback, even if they can't completely defeat Yuan Shu, they will weaken him to the minimum, and at that time, Jiangdong's position will be more stable. ”

"With the conditions of Jiangdong, what is lacking is population, and as long as the population is sufficient, more troops can be recruited. So this time I helped Yuan Shu, on the condition that I collect the displaced people in Xuzhou to enrich Jiangdong, and of course, I also deliberately recruited some talents from Xuzhou to serve. As long as I operate for two or three years, even if Yuan Shu is not besieged, I am confident that I can block Yuan Shu's attack alone. In the lobby of Zhang's mansion, Liu Feng said confidently.

……

Zhang Hong was silent for a long time, and finally, with a long sigh, said: "The general has this self-confidence, and I believe that under the governance of Jiangdong, Jiangdong will definitely become a happy land." In the next talent, I am willing to create a great cause with the general. ”

"Finally it worked!" Liu Feng was overjoyed. After flickering for so long, he has no words, if Zhang Hong doesn't compromise again, he really has no choice.
