(Thanks to Brother Shui Luoyunqi for the reward, haha)
Guan Yu lowered his eyebrows and saw that the person at the bottom of the stairs who spoke up was his general Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei then added: "Although there are many barbarian rebels in Wuxi, they are just a bunch of rabble gathered temporarily. We only need to send one general and lead thousands of people to bring peace. There is no need for the general to go out personally."
Guan Yu gently stroked his beautiful beard, and after thinking deeply, he realized that Zhao Lei's advice made sense, so he looked around at the crowd and asked loudly: "Which one of you is willing to lead the troops to put down the rebellion of the Wuxi barbarians?"
Under the current circumstances, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others entered Shu successively and took away a large number of generals. These generals who were able to enter Shu to fight naturally had the opportunity to perform meritorious services. However, the generals who stayed in Jingzhou with Guan Yu seemed to be free. , but if you lose the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, you will inevitably have regrets in your heart.
Now that the Wuxi barbarians are rebelling, it is a rare opportunity for them, and the generals are naturally eager to try it.
Guan Yu weighed for a moment and ordered Liao Hua to lead 5,000 elite troops from Jiangling and go south via the Public Security Bureau to relieve the danger in Linyuan.
In Jiangling, Liu Feng arranged a lot of details. Liao Hua's troops set off. Within a few days, Liu Feng, who had returned to Linxiang, received the news.
After learning that Guan Yu did not take action personally, the civil and military staff involved in planning the war seemed a little disappointed.
"I have said before that Guan Yu is not a kind person, how could he fall for the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain so easily. Now that Guan Yu refuses to leave Jiangling, it seems that we have to take a long-term approach."
Liu Ba's tone was vaguely proud, as if today's situation had been expected by him.
Liu Feng disagreed with him. After meeting with Shamoko, he knew very well how much his sworn brother was worth. Moreover, he now received the military support secretly donated by him. With Liao Hua and a mere five thousand The Jingzhou Army may not be able to relieve Linyuan's difficulties.
"Guan Yu didn't know that the rebellion of the Wuxi Barbarians was caused by us, so he thought that sending Liao Hua to fight would be able to put down the rebellion. I think he would regret it soon." Liu Feng's face showed confidence.
"Even if Wuxi Man can withstand Liao Hua's attack, Guan Yu will probably only increase his troops to Wuling. There are many wise men under his command, and he should remind Guan Yu to beware of his lord. As long as his lord is around, Guan Yu will definitely not leave Jiangling without permission. "
Liu Ba "tirelessly" poured "cold water" on this battle to capture Jingzhou, but this cold water existed in reality. Liu Feng suddenly realized that it was almost impossible to transfer Guan Yu, a tough guy, from Jiangling. The impossible.
Historically, the reason why Soochow Wu's attack on Jingzhou was successful was because Guan Yu mobilized all his troops to attack Xiangfan northward in order to cooperate with Liu Bei's Hanzhong offensive. But now, purely based on the power of Wuxi barbarians and the importance of Wuling, it is indeed Far from being able to attract Guan Yu to take action personally like Xiangfan.
The meeting hall fell into silence for a moment.
Liu Feng was at a loss for ideas, so he turned his attention to Pang Tong. This man who claimed to have a plan to attack Jingzhou was relaxed and leisurely this time. It seemed that he had already expected the current situation.
"Sir, it seems that your plan of borrowing troops from Wuxi Barbarians is not enough to divert the tiger from the mountain." Liu Feng said with a bitter smile.
"My lord, don't worry, Tong has a plan." Pang Tong said with a slight smile.
Liu Feng's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He should have guessed that with Pang Tong's meticulous strategy, it was impossible not to consider this link.
The people's spirits were immediately lifted by Pang Tong's words, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.
A weird smile appeared on Pang Tong's face, "This plan will definitely allow Guan Yu to leave Jiangling with peace of mind, but the lord will have to spend some means to convince the mistress."
Sun Shangxiang? Why is she involved again?
For a moment, everyone, including Liu Feng, looked confused.
¡¡¡¡¡¡
I don¡¯t know when the heavy rain stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. Water droplets dripped from the eaves sporadically, and the floors and houses in the yard were wet.
It had just rained, the air was very humid, and it felt refreshing on the skin, but the anxiety in Liu Feng's heart lingered.
"It's the master, the master is back."
The group of maids in the courtyard were taking advantage of the rain to stop practicing with swords and guns. Liu Feng had said that he didn't like them practicing martial arts at home, so when they saw Liu Feng coming back, they immediately put away their weapons. After he was put back in his original position, a swarm of bees came up and chirped to say hello.
"Where is the madam?" Liu Feng did not reprimand them as he usually did. He had something on his mind. He was not in that mood now.
"Madam, Madam, she"
The waitresses were hesitant, as if they wanted to hide something.
Liu Feng was not in the mood to waste time with them, and went straight back into the house without waiting for an answer.
As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw Sun Shangxiang sitting on his knees in front of the case, playing with a piece of silk in his hand. It seemed that he was doing embroidery, but his skills were unfamiliar and a bit clumsy.
Sun Shangxiang, who usually only knows how to do martial arts, now actually started to do female embroidery. This move was so unexpected that Liu Feng couldn't help but laugh.
As soon as she heard laughter, she suddenly looked up and saw Liu Feng. She instinctively hid the work behind her back. After panicking, she remembered that others had seen it a long time ago, so what was the use of hiding it.
Sun Shangxiang smiled sheepishly and reluctantly put the work back on the case, "Aren't you going to discuss something? Why are you back so soon?"
Liu Feng walked forward, knelt down beside her, picked up the half-embroidered silk handkerchief and took a look, only to see the appearance of two birds embroidered on it. She probably wanted to embroider mandarin ducks or something, but it was just her first time to catch them. Needle, the embroidery is quite bad.
"I didn't expect that my wife can also embroider." Liu Feng looked at it for a long time and asked seriously: "Madam, are you embroidering two sparrows?"
Sun Shangxiang burst into laughter, but immediately changed his expression to displeasure, snatched the embroidery from his hand, pouted and said: "What's your look, I'm clearly embroidering mandarin ducks."
"Yuanyang?" Liu Feng looked at it carefully again, and then nodded heavily: "I heard what Madam said, and if I look more closely, it does look somewhat similar to Yuanyang."
Sun Shangxiang was finally satisfied, and a smile of relief appeared on his beautiful face.
¡°If I could only have this kind of love and flirting with her, I would live a carefree life.
It¡¯s a pity that he and she have an unchangeable identity, which prevents them from living like ordinary people.
After pondering for a long time, Liu Feng made up his mind. He took a deep breath and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Madam, I have been secretly discussing with Mr. Shiyuan and the others these days. Do you know what we are planning?"
Liu Feng's tone suddenly became serious. How could the ice-smart Sun Shangxiang not notice it? She put down the silk handkerchief in her hand, looked at his handsome face with watery eyes, paused for a moment, and sighed softly: "If I If your guess is correct, you are probably planning to start a war with Liu Bei."
Liu Feng was shocked. He didn't expect that she could see the clues. He couldn't help asking: "How did Madam know?"
Sun Shangxiang said calmly: "I know that you have always been ambitious, and you are definitely not a person who will die guarding these two counties. In the current situation, apart from starting a war with Liu Bei, I can't think of anything else that you would bother with. "
These words made Liu Feng's heart heat up. What he didn't expect was that Sun Shangxiang could understand him so well.
Now that it had reached this point, Liu Feng felt that there was no need to hide it from her anymore, so he told her all about his plan.
"Listening to what you said, the key to this battle lies in whether Guan Yu can be transferred away from Jiangling. When I was in Moling, I heard them say that Guan Yu is an extremely talented general. Whether he can be lured out of the city depends on whether he can be lured away from the city. It¡¯s not easy to be afraid.¡±
Liu Feng's confession also comforted Sun Shangxiang. At this moment, she sincerely thought about Liu Feng.
Liu Feng held Sun Shangxiang's delicate jade hand in his palm, looked into her eyes and said, "It is precisely because of this that I want to ask Madam to help me with this matter."
Sun Shangxiang was startled at first, and then said without hesitation: "Since I have married you, your career is my Sun Shangxiang's career. If necessary, I, Sun Shangxiang, will die as your husband without even frowning. "
At this moment, Liu Feng felt an unprecedented touch in his heart. He just felt that his wife was like this, and his life was unstoppable.
"Madam is the person I want to protect to the death. How can I let you get hurt at all? This matter is actually easy to say. I'm just afraid that you will be in some trouble, madam."
Liu Feng immediately told Sun Shangxiang the plan given by Pang Tong truthfully.
Then he sighed: "To be honest with you, madam, the reason why Marquis Wu is willing to marry you to me is because he wants to use me to check Liu Bei and maintain a balance in Jingzhou. If I capture Liu Bei's territory now, I will completely occupy Jingzhou." , which is tantamount to breaking this balance, which is obviously something Wu Hou does not want to see. Therefore, if Madam helps me complete this plan, Wu Hou will definitely blame Madam after knowing it. In fact, I really don¡¯t want Madam to let her down because of this. He ruined the brother-sister relationship with Wu Hou."
This is the reason why Liu Feng felt it was difficult to speak up before. After all, Sun Shangxiang is from the Sun family. To a certain extent, Liu Feng's trust in Pang Tong and others is higher than that of this pillow person.
I thought Sun Shangxiang would be in trouble for a while, butWhat surprised Liu Feng was that Sun Shangxiang just sneered and said indifferently: "In the eyes of my second brother, there is no difference between relatives and outsiders, only those who can be used and those who cannot be used. What's more, I This concubine has been a thorn in the eyes of him and his mother from the moment she was born. The reason why they married me to you, my husband, is just to take the opportunity to kick me out and use me to win over you."
Sun Shangxiang's answer really shocked Liu Feng, but he suddenly understood why such a beautiful woman was so keen on martial arts. Perhaps it was because she was born in such a family without family ties. Only by making herself stronger can she feel a sense of security.
It turns out that her life experience is so similar to mine.
"If one day, in the eyes of my second brother, husband you are no longer of use, he will get rid of you mercilessly and will not care about my so-called sister at all. So husband, you don't have to worry, this time I will definitely help you, because helping you means helping myself."
