Chapter 203: Liu Bei's Frustration

Liu Biao's complicated mood may be something that few people can understand, but Liu Bei is just one of them.

Xinye City is still the same Xinye City, and there has been no change because of Liu Feng's departure, and the city has not been heightened or widened. Zhuge Liang knew that the city of Xinye could not be defended, and training strong soldiers was the right way.

In Liu's mansion, Liu Bei sat in the study, his expression a little complicated.

Recently, Liu Bei's mood was good, but the last time Xu Zheng's departure made Liu Bei realize some problems, and he tried his best to stabilize some of the small officials under his hands.

At the same time, he also pushed his son Liu Chan to the forefront. To his supporters, he said categorically that this son was his successor.

Therefore, Liu Bei was in a very good mood.

But this good mood was destroyed under Liu Feng's stunning record of defeating Zhou Yu and capturing the four cities of Chaisang. Not a single good mood remained.

It can be said that no one knows more about Liu Feng's growth than Liu Bei.

From accepting Liu Feng as a stepson, to the joy of discovering that Liu Feng had the style of a polite and virtuous corporal, to having a son, he was deeply jealous of Liu Feng, and after Zhuge Liang, he urgently drove Liu Feng away.

saw Liu Feng attacking Xiakou, looking forward to Liu Feng's death on the battlefield. Seeing Liu Biao, when Zhou Yu attacked Jiangxia, Liu Bei looked forward to Liu Feng's death even more urgently.

Liu Feng's every move was almost all done under his gaze.

Up to now, Liu Feng defeated Zhou Yu and occupied Chaisang.

Liu Bei was already numb. This stepson he gave up did really well. Amazing luck, too.

When he heard that Liu Feng occupied Jiangxia, Liu Bei sneered. Because he felt that he couldn't hold on. But when Liu Feng occupied Chaisang, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel some envy.

There is also some frustration.

Liu Bei remembered that when he was young, he was down, and three hundred warriors rose up. There is brilliance, sitting in Xuzhou. But he couldn't hold on to that glorious moment.

But Liu Feng guarded it. Dejiangxia is the glory of Liu Feng, blocking Liu Biao is guarding, defeating Zhou Yu and then taking possession of Chaisang is its expansion.

Although there is still some distance from Zhongtian, it is also steaming.

A young man who has not yet reached the age of twenty, and if you think about himself, he is forty or fifty. A bad old man, still trapped in Xinye.

A bit of gloom flashed in Liu Bei's heart.

Not only that, Liu Feng's rise made Liu Bei feel an unprecedented threat. Zhuge Liang formulated for him to dominate Jingzhou, and Yizhou and Cao Ying stood on top of each other.

For him, the attraction is great.

But his current strength and resources are not as good as Liu Feng's, and even in terms of talents, Liu Feng has also won fierce generals such as Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, as well as wise men such as Feng Xiao Pang Tong.

If he competes for Jingzhou in the future, will he have a chance?

I think of Liu Feng's population of 200,000 and tens of thousands of troops. The frustration in Liu Bei's heart became stronger and stronger.

What followed was a kind of regret, not regret for driving Liu Feng away, but regret for underestimating Liu Feng at the beginning, thinking that salted fish was always salted fish, smelly, and couldn't turn over.

Well, now, the mistake of the original thought has become the enemy of today.

Liu Bei felt frustrated and regretted.

Just then, a maid walked in. "Lord, the son is awake."

Liu Bei immediately showed a smile on his face when he heard this, Liu Chan could let him put aside all his worries. In the end, it is his own son, not another son can compare.

Thinking about it like this, Liu Bei's regret in his heart was a little less.

It's just that kind of frustration, even if there is Liu Chan's existence, Liu Bei will always linger.

Above the Yangtze River, near Chibi. A large number of warships were sailing rampantly, heading upriver to Gangneung. On two of the warships, each with the words "Jiang" and "Zhou" was planted with the flags of the generals.

Among them, on the deck of the warship with the word "Zhou", Liu Feng stood in the wind. Standing beside him was Gan Ning.

Although he has been running around recently, Liu Feng's injuries are slowly improving, and his originally pale face has some blood. Standing at the bow of the boat at this moment, the placket fluttered slightly under the river breeze, but it also recovered a bit of heroism.

Gan Ning is the same as before, dressed in brocade clothes and hanging a sword at his waist, very heroic.

Facing Jiangling, Liu Feng's eyes were full of expectation. Because Gan Ning used to be attached to Liu Biao, he was more familiar with the situation in Jiangling.

Liu Feng chatted with Gan Ning just now and learned about the general situation in Jiangling.

Jiangling is the nest that Liu Biao has operated for more than ten years, and it is the time when Liu Biao is preparing to resist when Cao Ying goes south. Migrated to Gangneung and held on to the city.

The grain hoarded there could feed an army of 100,000 for three years. Hoarded utensils can equip an army of 100,000. The city is tall and the castle is first-class. It is the largest city in the world.

Liu Feng was not frightened by the height of the city, and in Liu Feng's heart, he only remembered that he could let the 100,000 army eat food for three years. At least a million stones. There were also enough equipment to equip an army of 100,000. and thousands of war horses.

These are all what Liu Feng longs for.

Moreover, Gan Ning also told him that the Jiangling Shou General was a person with a very rough surname. He had an army of about 5,000 men.

Liu Feng is not afraid of the tall city, but he is afraid of the wise guards. The Jiangling guard, the thicker the surname, the more beneficial it is for him.

Another point is that when Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were rampant on the Yangtze River, they attacked countless ferries and water villages. But he just never went ashore and fought with Liu Biao's army. I believe that according to the kind of military discipline of Liu Biao's army, it will definitely be negligent in taking precautions.

It's a good foreshadowing. Because now Liu Feng is in the form of Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's banner. It is equivalent to Liu Feng rampage on the Yangtze River, and no one will think that his purpose is to attack Jiangling.

At the beginning, Pang Tong asked him to wear the coat of the Jiangdong Water Army, I am afraid that he also had this meaning.

Liu Feng is now not afraid that he will not be able to capture Jiangling, but he is afraid that there will not be enough ships. Liu Feng raised his head and glanced at his own fleet, there were about six or seven hundred ships, both large and small. Almost all the ships in Xiakou were looted, and some merchant ships were temporarily recruited.

One million stone of grain. Enough equipment to equip 100,000 people. And five thousand war horses.

Can it fit?

Since the injury, Liu Feng will often feel a little tired. After standing for a while, Liu Feng felt a little dizzy and the sequelae of excessive blood loss.

Liu Feng put aside the doubts in his mind, looked up at Gan Ning and said, "I'll go and take a break, and I'll leave it to Xingba here." ”

"My lord can rest assured. Nothing can happen. Gan Ning saw that Liu Feng had a thick exhaustion on his face, and the concern in his eyes flashed, and nodded.

"Hmm." Liu Feng snorted and walked into the cabin.

Jiangling is a city built against the Yangtze River, only about 1,000 steps away from the Yangtze River. As Gan Ning described, the city was very tall and thick.

It should be an easy city to defend and difficult to attack. But it has a huge drawback.

The city built along the river has created smooth water transportation, and also created the glory and prosperity of Gangneung. But that's where it comes from. Liu Biao's navy is too rubbish, and Jiangdong's navy can start from Wu County and attack Jiangling directly.

It's a miserable situation.

However, although the disadvantages are obvious. But Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai still did not attack Jiangling, and the city was tall. It was very difficult to attack, and Wenpin's army was only a few hundred miles away from Gangneung, and it was only two days away.

Because of this, Gangneung's defense was very lax.

At this moment, on the southern wall of Jiangling, that is, the city wall against the Yangtze River, a young man stood outside the city gate tower. Shaking and looking at the turbulent Yangtze River.

This young man was dressed in golden armor and looked ordinary, but his face was very murderous and his body was burly. His name is Shi Chang, and he is a child of a small scholar clan near Jiangling.

Relying on the relationship between his fathers and some real skills. At a young age, he was already the owner of Gangneung City, one-fifth of the military power.

Captain of the official residence city gate.

Looking straight at the Yangtze River for a long time, Shi Chang let out a long sigh.

Some time ago, the Jiangdong naval army raged and wreaked havoc on the waterway ferries along the way, but some small checkpoints were not annihilated.

So, Gangneung still has sources. Just now, Shi Chang got a shocking news that Jiang Qin and Zhoutai's army, which had retreated a few days ago, appeared on the Yangtze River again.

And the scale is huge, straight towards Gangneung.

When he learned the news, Shi Chang went to report to the general in the city, Chen Cang, at the first moment. It's just that.......

After sighing, Shi Chang held the idea of eating the king and being loyal to the king in his heart. Turning, dressed in heavy armor, he went down to the city. Mounted on a war horse surrounded by his own soldiers, he went to the center of the city.

Soon, Shi Chang came to the outside of a mansion, and there was a plaque with the word "Chen Mansion" hanging on the door.

"Captain Shi, are you here to see the general again?" A soldier guarding the door bent over Shi Chang very familiarly.

"Yes." Shi Chang nodded, turned over and dismounted. Walked in.

The mansion is large and palatial. But after Shi Chang entered the door, he came to the outside of the study very familiarly.

"General." Stopping outside the door, Shi Chang walked towards the study and said softly.

In the study, there is a round-faced man sitting at this moment, this man has fair skin and loose muscles, like a rich man, more like a general.

However, he is indeed the defender of this city, surnamed Chen, and his name is Cang. He is a son of the famous Chen family in the neighborhood.

Listening to Shi Chang's words, Chen Cang put down the bamboo slip in his hand and frowned.

"I said Captain Shi, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, you don't have to worry about their affairs. Zhou Yu and Liu Feng fought for a month, and they did not see these people send troops to attack Jiangling. It shows that they are afraid that my Gangneung city is tall and difficult to conquer. I'm afraid of losing my soldiers. It's going to be fine. Although he frowned, a little disgusted with this nervous Shi Chang, Chen Cang still spoke up, his voice was gentle, and there was no trace of anger.

"General." Of course, Shi Chang was unwilling in his heart, and said loudly when he heard the words. But it was interrupted by Chen Cang. "Alright, alright. I think you're tired, so I'll give you a month off. The affairs of city defense are also handed over to Chang Sheng. ”

Gangneung had three city gate captains, and Chang Sheng was one of them. In normal times, the three city gate captains are on duty, changing shifts once a month, and are responsible for the defense of the city for one month.

Now it is just Shi Chang taking over the third day of city defense.

Shi Changneng came to today's status at a young age, not stupid. knew that Chen Cang was disgusted with himself. He sighed and said, "No." ”

"If there is a change in Gangneung City, I will kill you first and go to Jiangdong." When he turned around, the murderous aura in Shi Chang's eyes flashed, and he snorted coldly in his heart.

What can be done, what can be reminded, he has already done. But it didn't work. Shi Chang felt that his next life was his own. If the city is destroyed, don't blame him for being unjust.
