Chapter 452: The Red Cliff Battle
The big boat that Liu Feng was riding gradually approached the ferry. Liu Feng raised his eyes and saw that the public security ferry was full of soldiers and guards.
Xu Shu led Wen Ping, Li Yan, Wei Yan, Shamoke and other generals to greet Liu Feng.
When the big ship docked, Liu Feng was the first to go down.
"I've seen the lord." The generals led by Xu Shu bowed to Liu Fengyi in unison.
"Rise up, everybody." Liu Feng raised his hand with a smile and gave a handful, and the generals also got up.
Liu Feng set his sights on the generals, first Xu Shu, then Li Yan, Wei Yan, and Sha Moke. Public security is important, and it is necessary to set up heavy troops.
And after this group of generals came to the public security, Liu Feng rarely saw him. Li Yan, Wei Yan, these fierce generals, and wise generals, have all become numbers in Liu Feng's mind.
Liu Feng wanted to take this opportunity to take a fresh look at this group of generals.
After sweeping the generals, Liu Feng set his sights on Wen Ping. The body is strong, the face is majestic, and the demeanor is cold. Anyone who sees it must praise it, and he will be fierce.
It's just that Liu Feng knows that this fierce general is actually a handsome talent. There was a Wei dynasty, guarding Jiangxia for decades, and when Wen was hired, Sun Quan did not dare to enter Jiangxia.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but the general's demeanor is still the same." Liu Feng nodded towards Wen Ping and said with a smile.
Two years ago, Liu Feng had just killed Huang Zu and occupied Jiangxia. Wen Ping was ordered to lead the army to come, if it weren't for Cai Mao's relationship, it is still unknown what the situation is today.
In a blink of an eye, it has been two years, but now Wen Ping is already his general.
"In the past, I said that I had offended a lot, and I hope the lord will forgive me." Wen Ping bowed and hugged his fists, but his expression was neither humble nor silent, and he was arrogant.
Wen hired the first general of Jingchu in the past, not to surrender for Liu Feng, but only because of a letter from Cai Mao to go south.
Although he defected, his sense of belonging still needs to be cultivated.
Liu Feng didn't care about Wenpin's attitude. smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about the things in the past. ”
Saying that, Liu Feng solemnly raised his fist and said: "It's just that the safety of the public security is at stake today, and the general should be a lot of care." ”
"Don't worry, the last general will definitely assist General Xu to consolidate public security." Wen Ping raised his fist and made a promise.
Liu Feng is not the kind of person who will pretend to pose and deliberately show his affinity to win his heart, and Wen Ping is also a relatively calm and arrogant person.
The conversation between the two seemed plain and bland. But the problem is not here, the problem is the attitude of the clerk.
When the two met, these few words could be regarded as establishing the relationship between the monarch and the minister.
"It's windy by the river, so the lord should go to the public security city first." Next to him, Xu Shu interjected.
"Hmm." Liu Feng nodded at Xu Shu, and then turned his head to Kou Shui and said, "Order Chen Da to personally lead five hundred soldiers from the broken military camp to escort the two ladies and Mr. Mi's family to Xiling for resettlement." ”
What Gan needs now is to go back to Xiling and gather with her daughters-in-law to see her grandson. A new environment, a new home.
I'm afraid Gan has been waiting for it for a long time. So after thinking about it, Liu Feng decided to send Gan back to Xiling first.
There is time to get along with Gan and not rush for a while.
"No." Kou Shui walked down in response.
Immediately, Liu Feng and the generals rode on war horses and went to the public security with a large group of people.
On the way, Liu Feng also saw a large camp, a super large camp.
The public security originally had 25,000 people, including Xu Shu, and now there are 20,000 civil servants, and there are 45,000 troops. The military tent of so many people is of course extraordinary in scale and momentum.
However, Liu Feng didn't go inside to take a look, just passed by.
Not long after, Liu Feng and the others came to the public security city, Xu Shu's mansion. First, he talked to the generals for a while and encouraged the generals a few words.
Subsequently, Liu Feng and Xu Shu came to the study.
After entering the study, Xu Shu's face became extremely serious, and he raised his fist and asked, "Lord, why don't you save Liu Bei?" ”
Liu Feng smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Sir, don't worry, I have my own plan." ”
Few people know about Liu Feng's plan, and Xu Shu is outside, and he has no chance to understand it, and now he is a red cliff. It's time to talk to this important minister.
"Listen to me." Xu Shu sat up straight, and his expression was very serious.
Liu Feng smiled bitterly, this gentleman. In the past, it was called teachers and students, and now it is called monarchs and ministers. The position has changed, Xu Shu is a rigorous person, and he will not become arrogant because of his identity.
When it comes to business, it's all like this, with an attitude.
Liu Feng couldn't do anything about him, so he could only sigh, he was alone. I really realized why the princes in the past were called lonely.
"Sir, Cao Ying went south this time, in the name of crusading against me. In fact, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are also in their calculations. There is no reason for the three of us to be spared. It stands to reason that this time should be the time for the cold lips and teeth to die and fight Cao together. However, Liu Bei is weak, he only thinks about testing my strength to resist Cao Ying, and there is no sincerity, and there is no value in using it. In addition, Sun Quan, he is even more unreliable. He can't wait for me to fight to the death with Cao Ying. These two people are not good things. They all want to take advantage of me. Liu Feng sneered and looked at Xu Shudao.
Meeting Liu Feng's gaze, Xu Shu nodded. But then, he said: "However, there is still some use value in the end." Liu Bei's strength is not good, but at least he can wave the flag and shout and increase his momentum. ”
"Sir's idea is actually right. Liu Bei has 20,000 soldiers, and his combat effectiveness is not evaluated. But the number of people is in. And Sun Quan's side has also been developed by his father and brother II, and the people's hearts are stable. Although they all have bad intentions, if they can win them over, there are still many benefits. Saying that, Liu Feng shook his head and said coldly: "They only want to use me, and I don't plan to win them over." According to the news from the spies, Sun Quan is currently in Yuzhang and has an army of 40,000 or 50,000. I guess he probably thought I would save Liu Bei and be with Liu Bei. Together, the two of us have the strength to fight to the death with Cao Ying. ”
This time, Xu Shu pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.
"I want to win over Sun Quan, but it's more difficult."
"So, just drag him into the water. Liu Bei, that guy, I won't be able to save him. It doesn't matter if he fights Cao Ying or surrenders to Cao Ying. I don't care about him. When the time comes, what will happen to Sun Quan? Liu Feng looked at Xu Shu with a smile.
"If the guess is not accurate, the plan changes, and Sun Quan will become agitated." There was some enlightenment in Xu Shu's eyes.
"He will surely send an envoy over to inquire about me. Maybe I'll be able to see Lu Zijing again. Liu Feng smiled and continued: "When the time comes, I will tell him directly, either Sun Quan will join the war and join forces with me and Liu Bei to resist Cao Ying." I Tun Public Security, Xiakou. They camped in Chibi. Either sit back and watch Liu Bei perish, and then wait for Cao Ying to go south, I don't resist, I will directly send troops to Yuzhang, and the jade will be burned. ”
This is Liu Feng's plan.
If Cao Ying's water army goes south, there are only three places to cross. Public security, Xiakou, Chibi.
Among them, the probability of chibi is greater, because the water on the side of chibi is relatively deep. But the odds are not small in the other two places.
And Liu Feng has Tunzha Ganning in Xiakou, and the whole Jiangxia is Liu Feng's nest. In addition, the public security also had 45,000 heavy troops led by Xu Shu to garrison.
But only Chibi has no one. There were no soldiers, no ships.
This is the place where Liu Feng vacated for Zhou Yu and Liu Bei early in the morning.
The Battle of Chibi, before the war took place, no one knew whether there would be a decisive battle in Chibi. I believe that Liu Bei, who is desperate, and Zhou Yu, who has no choice, will choose to guard Chibi.
When the time comes, Liu Feng will just watch from the wall.
If after the outbreak of the war, Zhou Yu and Liu Bei were dissatisfied, Liu Feng would send troops to cut off Zhou Yu's grain and grass and destroy Zhou Yu and Liu Bei. and then duel with Cao Ying.
Historically, the Sun-Liu coalition army was only 50,000, and Liu Feng did not believe that he had an army of 100,000 and could not stop it.
"My lord, if Sun Quan is not afraid of threats. What about resolutely not sending troops? Liu Feng's plan looked quite good, but Xu Shu still saw something unreliable in it and asked.
"If he doesn't send troops, I will really send troops to Yuzhang and burn Jiangdong jade. It's cheap, and Lao Cao doesn't let Sun Quan pick it up next to him. Liu Feng's eyes were right, without any dodge and hesitation, and he said loudly.
Liu Feng clearly knew that when Cao Ying went south, Jiangxia was the first to bear the brunt. If Sun Quan didn't choose to send troops to defend Chibi, then only he and Cao Ying would lose both. When the time comes, Sun Quan's guy will really compete with the fisherman for profit.
This kind of result is not what Liu Feng needs.
Xu Shu was silent, just like Liu Feng said, knowing that a battle with Cao Ying would cause both sides to lose, resulting in a collapse. And there is also a tiger-eyed Sun Quan sitting next to him, and a fool will go up and fight hard.
These are the two paths that Liu Feng gave to Sun Quan, either to unite against Cao, or to burn the jade.
Regarding Liu Feng's attitude, Xu Shu was a little pleased. Liu Feng has gradually gained the spirit of an emperor, with determination and courage.
However, it can become dangerous to do so. But if it succeeds, the benefits will be huge.
You can get rid of the embarrassment of reading power and resist Cao Ying.
It's just that the stakes are really big. Xu Shu's face showed some concern.
Seeing Xu Shu's expression, Liu Feng knew what Xu Shu was thinking. couldn't help but smile slightly: "Sir, in fact, it is not necessarily that the jade will be burned. ”
"If I send troops to Yuzhang, the result will definitely be Cao Ying's great victory and take the world. Sun Quan was defeated and killed. I'll be a remote prince. ”
"What do you mean?" Xu Shu was puzzled.
"I found that to the east of the sea, there was a large island. In one county, I have ordered hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people. Even if you fail, you can still sail the sea and go to the big island to take shelter. Liu Feng smiled slightly.
"Besides, will I fail? I never thought about it. I know Sun Quan's surname, I can afford it, he can't block it. ”
Xu Shu was surprised by the big island that Liu Feng said. acquiesced to Liu Feng's guess again.
Sun Quan has the inheritance of his father and brother, but what he lacks is not talent. It's the courage, and he can't afford to lose without the courage to start over.
And people like Liu Feng and Sun Ce are self-made, they can afford to lose, and they dare to gamble.
