Jiujiang ship, on deck.

At this moment, Chu Feng and the others had just boarded the ship.

And related matters, Gan Ning is already clear, no one wants to mention it excessively at this moment, after all, this battle has lost thousands of soldiers, and it is a fiasco.

"My lord, what should I do now?"

Zhao Yun clenched his fists, his expression solemn.

It can be said that because of Zhao Fan's defeat of the enemy, a series of arrangements for Jingzhou will be stagnant, and it is even very likely to miss a good opportunity to take Jingzhou.

You must know that once the official crossing is finished, it will be even more difficult for Chu Feng to take Jingzhou. And now, it is too difficult for Chu Feng to enter the army again.

The best choice is to retreat to Shaxian, control Jiangxia, and wait for an opportunity to plot Jingzhou in the future.

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead his troops to recapture Gangneung." Zhao Fan gritted his teeth, he knew how wrong he was, and at this moment he could only serve Chu Feng with his blood.

"Lord, or just fight hard, otherwise when Guandu decides the winner, it will be even more difficult for our army to take Jingzhou again." Gan Ning also suggested.

"Ridiculous!" Chu Feng vetoed.

"Jiangling is garrisoned by Liu Bei, with 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses, and there is Zhang Yunshui's division blocking the road in Jingling, I'm afraid that more soldiers and horses have been sent at this moment."

"This time, the enemy army will be huddled together, so it's better to slow down!" Chu Feng frowned, and immediately said: "Order, the whole army will immediately retreat to Shaxian and die down." ”

"My lord, this—" All the generals looked incomprehensible.

Although there is no advantage in the army now, the trapping camp of the Central Army and Gao Shun will come soon, and they can also fight when the time comes, so why retreat.

"For the generals, we must look at the overall situation, rather than care about the gains and losses in front of us, although the defeat of Gangneung is painful, it will all sound a wake-up call for everyone present."

"At no time, you should not underestimate the enemy."

Chu Feng taught everyone loudly, as for this fiasco, he understood the whole process in detail, what Zhao Fan did was normal, but his opponent was Xu Shu.

This person Chu Feng naturally knew that

Strictly speaking, Liu Bei's first top strategist is extremely capable, and his battle formation and military strategy are above Zhao Fan, so it is not surprising that he can win.

There was even a break after saying that Xu Shu entered Cao Ying, without saying a word,

Chu Feng even suspected that if he were to change to other corps, it was estimated that Xu Shu would eat them all in one bite.

"The Lord is taught!" The generals nodded sheepishly.

"In this battle, the reason why Liu Bei was able to win was completely dependent on his adviser Xu Shu, this person is resourceful and good at fighting formations, so it is not a matter of worrying about this person to separate Liu Bei."

Chu Feng briefly repeated.

"Branch? My lord, how do you get rid of this person? The general asked curiously.

"Simple, write a letter to Zhang Xiu, let him arrest Xu Shu's mother, for the sake of the world, such means are also a last resort." Chu Feng replied directly.

In history, Xu Shu is a well-known filial son, and in history, he also entered Cao Ying for his mother, although he was not so absolute without saying a word.

But it's true that there is no effort.

"This—" Everyone looked at each other, a little dazed.

Is it really useful to catch someone else's mother? In order to make meritorious contributions in these years, there are so many wives and children who have abandoned their wives and children, how dare Chu Feng be sure that Xu Shu will be constrained?

"Of course, Zhang Xiu is my last sword, and it can't be exposed so quickly. However, Liu Bei sits in Jiangling, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and I am afraid that it should be Liu Biao who is afraid! ”

"This time, our army retreated, and I will write a letter to Liu Biao to ask for peace. Liu Biao knew that no matter whether I was true or not, he would not rest assured that Liu Bei was in charge alone. ”

"When the time comes, Jingzhou will naturally propose to remove General Liu Bei from his position first. Liu Bei has always been benevolent and virtuous, and he will definitely be edicted to return to Jing, if he uses an excuse to delay, it will be better. ”

"Liu Biao must be angry and suspicious, and send someone to take over the troops, at this time, I let the details be advised, and arrange for Zhang Xiu to take Xinye, which is also justified."

"In this way, whether Liu Bei retreats or not, our army will benefit from the fisherman, and then attack again, wouldn't it be good?" The corners of Chu Feng's mouth were hooked, and he sneered.

After listening to Chu Feng, all the generals broke out in a cold sweat, their boss was really old-fashioned, and his heart was thorough, so he directly roasted Liu Bei on the stove.

"Lu Xun, write a letter for me, one to Liu Biao, the name of the statement is to seek peace. The other letter was written to Zhang Xiu, and when Liu Biaozhen asked him to take Xinye, he focused on looking for Xu Shu's mother. ”

Chu Feng put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.

"No!" Lu Xun nodded.

"Oh yes, by the way, let him inquire about Wolongong, Nanyang, find a young man named Zhuge Liang, and bring it if he can bring it to me, if he can't bring it, then kill it!"

Chu Feng's eyes were a little cold.

He was worried that if he really came to this point, history would repeat itself, and if Zhuge Liang really returned to Liu Bei, it would not be good news, this person is more intelligent and close to demons, and there are few enemies.

If a capable person like Wuhou can't be used for it, then he will be cut with a knife, which can be regarded as a stable life for the people of Li faster.

"Nuo" Lu Xun nodded first, then looked at Chu Feng and said, "Lord, you mentioned this person to Zhuge Jin earlier, and now you specially emphasize that it is difficult to become this person..."

"This person is wise and close to the demon, and has the talent to pass through the heavens and latitudes, if he can't be used by me, then he will be cut with a knife, otherwise the world will be in turmoil for decades." Chu Feng said bluntly.

Lu Xun was surprised, he had never seen his boss have such a high opinion of other people, which made Lu Xun even more curious, what is this Zhuge Liang sacred.

In the end, Chu Feng wrote another letter to the Cai family, and he always felt that the Cai family would help him, maybe because Jingzhou really couldn't hold it with Cai Mao.

In the letter, there are many promises, such as supporting the Cai family to become the first family in Jingzhou, and also proposing to kill Liu Biao and accept her as a concubine.

After this series of operations is completed, Chu Feng can be regarded as returning to Sha Xian with peace of mind, and then he can watch them eat dogs.

————

In the blink of an eye, a few days later.

Cai Mansion, backyard wing.

Cai Shi looked at the letter in his hand, Liu Mei couldn't help but pick, his scorpion-like eyes narrowed slightly, and said coldly: "Heh, you actually hit me with the idea." ”

"Sister, what did Chu Feng say?" Cai Mao asked curiously.

"He said, let my Cai family help him take Jingzhou, and after he occupies Jingzhou, support the Cai family as the first family in Jingzhou, and permanently serve as the Taishou of Nanjun."

Cai sneered, she could see that Chu Feng was trying to use her.

"Then sister, can we help?" Cai Maohu asked.

"Hehe, then Liu Bei is still a little useful in winning Zhao Fan this time, Chu Feng can give so many conditions, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with Liu Bei, as for whether to help or not, it depends on his own ability."

When Cai said this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"In this way, tomorrow the court will meet, instigate Liu Biao to end the war, and let him remove Liu Bei's official position, on the one hand, he will be in power, and on the other hand, he should help."

"Hmm!" Cai Mao nodded.

"Alright, let's go down!" Cai waved his hand, looking at Cai Mao's departing back, Cai's little tongue crossed the tip of his lips, revealing a vicious smile.

She hadn't played with Chu Feng for a long time, and she was really looking forward to it.

Next

Jingzhou, Xiangyang will be in the house.

Listening to the scribe below read it, Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, because the document was reading Chu Feng's letter of seeking peace, and in the letter, Chu Feng lowered his posture,

Take the initiative to make a sum and promise not to violate again.

"Hehe, okay, okay, I finally heard good news, come here, send a message back immediately, and say that I, Liu Biao, agree to ask for peace, and Jing and Yang can continue to maintain friendly relations."

Liu Biao raised his hand and said happily.

"No," someone responded.

"Lord, now Chu Feng is asking for peace, but when Liu Bei reported the battle situation earlier, he said that there were remnants of the Chu army, and in my opinion, he wanted to usurp and rebel."

"For the sake of Jingzhou's safety, the last general implored the lord to immediately send someone to take back Liu Bei's military power and recall him back to Jing. If he agrees, he is naturally innocent, and if he opposes, he must have the intention of rebellion. ”

Cai Mao suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

"This..."Liu Biao hesitated instantly.

And all the civil and military people in the hall are all talking about it at the moment, and nodding their heads in approval from time to time are obviously afraid of Liu Bei's rebellion, after all, Liu Bei has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at this moment.

"Lord, having said that, could this be the fake news released by Chu Feng and deliberately let us withdraw Liu Bei? After all, only Liu Bei can face the Chu army at the moment. ”

Kuai Liang hurriedly interjected.

Naturally, he didn't want the Cai family to regain military power, and the family headed by Kuai Liang also expressed their positions.

Liu Biao pondered slightly, and his heart was solemn: "In this way, let Wen Ping and Cai He take Liu Bei's position, and say that it is to wash the dust for Liu Bei." ”

"If Chu Feng commits it again, it's not too late to let Liu Bei suppress it. But if you join him for rebellion, you will definitely not agree, and I will definitely make him pay the price when the time comes! ”

Liu Biao hesitated slightly, obviously thinking of a compromise.

"The lord is wise!" Everyone clasped their fists in compliment.

"Okay, let's do it, in addition, An Yihou is always keeping an eye on the movements of the Chu army, as soon as there is news, you must report it immediately, and there must be no mistakes!"

Liu Biao shook his sleeves and arranged.

After all this, this discussion was not over, and what followed was a letter after letter, some of which were sent to Gangneung.

————

Two days later, the Gangneung General's Office.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Xu Shu, Liao Hua and others were discussing how to consolidate Jiangling.

"Report~! The lord of Qiqi, someone from Xiangyang, came to summon the general to Jingzhou on the order of Liu Zhou, saying that he would meet on important matters. The tooth general came running wildly.

"What did Liu Biao send someone to do at this time?" Liu Bei frowned, having a bad premonition.

"Lord, I'm afraid it's not good!" Xu Shu squinted his eyes and said with a little helplessness.

"What do you mean?"

"It has always been dangerous. The Chu army was unstoppable, and the Lord Gongguang beheaded as many as six or seven thousand people, which can be said to be quite fruitful. ”

"Now that the lord has accommodated 20,000 fine armor, a full 40,000 or 50,000 people, and the strength is even far beyond Jing Xiang's, I'm afraid Liu Biao is already having trouble sleeping at this moment."

Xu Shu directly named him, and sighed a little.

"Meritorious Shock Lord?" Liu Bei frowned, but his heart was dignified, what Xu Shu said was indeed good, with forty or fifty thousand people under his command, how could Liu Biao feel at ease.

To put it mildly, Jiangling wants grain and grain, and Liu Bei can even set himself up as the king and take Jingzhou directly.

"Strategist, what should I do now?" Liu Bei frowned and looked at Xu Shu, he was more eager for power than anyone else, and now that the power is in his hands, is it just like that?

"What does the lord mean?" Xu Shu asked.

"It's not easy to pull up such a legion to compete with Chu Feng, if I give up at this time, I am unwilling." Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"Lord, since Liu Biao has doubted it, there are only three ways for the lord to choose,

First, return to Jing to prove identity and loyalty.

Second, under the pretext that the remnants of the Chu army still existed and that Zhang Xian was going to be destroyed, the lord led his troops south, and the so-called generals were not subject to military orders abroad.

Third, establish yourself as king. When Xu Shu said that he was the king, his expression was obviously a little excited, and his gaze at Liu Bei became firm and longing.

Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, and it is absolutely impossible to be the king of himself, and he will definitely usher in countless people to follow.

"No, I pride myself on being benevolent, virtuous and faithful to the world, and now Liu Biao is reused with me, how can I stand up as a king and betray Liu Biao?"

Liu Bei looked sad and a little anxious.

He knew that what Xu Shu said was right, this was a good time to establish himself as the king, directly lead his troops to the north, and even take Xiangyang in one fell swoop.

But he prides himself on being benevolent and righteous, and disdains to do this kind of thing of roosters and dogs, but he is really unwilling, can he only be taken back?

"Lord, Jingzhou is just around the corner, self-establishment as king is the last chance, if the lord agrees to return to Jingzhou, even if he doesn't die, he will be carried away by the wine."

Xu Shu had some hope and asked Liu Bei to agree.

"Big brother, what the military advisor said is right, those who do big things should be informal, if you waste this opportunity because of trivial matters, it really outweighs the loss."

Guan Yu is also strongly persuasive, with expectations.

"My lord, it is the best time to set yourself up as a king or take the whole of Jingzhou." Liao Hua also answered, and for a while, all the civil and military forces persuaded together.

"No, a man does not stand without faith! I can't betray others for personal gain. Liu Bei hesitated, and it was best to throw his sleeves and refuse this request.

"My lord, since you have made up your mind, we don't ask for it." Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "But since the lord was ordered to go to Jingnan, how can Zhang Xian still be able to return?" ”

"The lord should focus on the overall situation, and the so-called generals will not be subject to foreign military orders, this time, while Zhang Xian still doesn't know, he will step on Zhang Xian from Jingnan in one fell swoop."

Xu Shu guessed that Liu Bei would refuse, so he had already thought of another set of rhetoric, which was the second one, and directly found an excuse to reject Liu Biao's envoy.

When the time comes, Liu Bei will have to rebel if he doesn't rebel.

"It's... Yuan Zhi is right, Jingnan Zhang Xian is eyeing the tiger, you can't stay for a long time, you should break it. Liu Bei nodded: "In this way, send someone to inform you, and say that I led my troops to Zhang Xian." ”

"The lord is wise." Xu Shu chuckled.

Liu Bei is equivalent to finding a reason to stay, and Xu Shu can see that Liu Bei doesn't want to give up power at all, he wants to establish a foundation from the bottom of his heart.

It can only be said that Liu Bei has found a step down, and as for Liu Biao's force, it is Liu Biao's problem, and he will not have to show mercy to his subordinates at that time.

The thought of this evokes a sneer.

And Liu Biao's envoy was extremely angry because Liu Bei was snub and panicked to beat Zhang Xian, so he had to hurry back and talk to Liu Biao.
