- . Chapter 224 Falling out
To the east of Jiangzhou City, there is the Jingzhou Army Camp.
Liu Feng knew that Yan Yan was perfunctory with him. At this moment, Yan Yan's report has probably been sent to Chengdu. It is not easy to guess what kind of reply Liu Zhang will have.
During this period, Liu Feng was not idle.
This time when he entered Shu, he brought a total of more than 20,000 Jingzhou troops. Since arriving in Yidu, he has surrendered many soldiers and horses along the way. Now the total number of soldiers and horses under his command has reached nearly 30,000.
Liu Feng reorganized the newly surrendered troops and divided his troops to garrison key points in each county. There were more than 17,000 soldiers and horses gathered under Jiangzhou City.
Liu Feng did not keep any of the gifts of labor sent by Yan Yan, but gave them all to the soldiers of the three armies. Spiritual encouragement is important, but in order to maintain the high morale of the soldiers for a long time, material rewards such as money and food are also important. necessary.
After seven days of stationing troops in the east of Jiangzhou City, Huang Quan arrived and brought nearly one-third of the money, grain and cloth from the Chengdu Treasury.
Hearing that Huang Quan had arrived, Liu Feng personally went to the camp gate to greet him.
"Mr. Gongheng, farewell to Xiangyang. I miss you very much." Liu Feng looked pleased and took Huang Quan's hand into the camp.
"The general is worried about you, but I don't deserve the power." Huang Quan seemed to force out a smile from between his teeth.
Liu Feng, who was attentive and thoughtful, immediately noticed it. He expected that something would happen when Huang Quan came, so he remained calm and only invited Huang Quan into the Chinese army's tent.
When the guests and hosts were seated, Liu Gaobao said apologetically: "As soon as Mr. left, I originally planned to send troops to relieve Liu Yizhou's difficulties. However, Cao Cao's army was suppressed and he did not dare to leave the state easily. Therefore, I delayed sending troops until now to give Liu Yizhou more time. I have suffered so much, and I hope you can convey my apology to Liu Yizhou."
Hearing Liu Feng's words, Huang Quan's heart was really pricked, and the hidden feeling of guilt felt even heavier.
"The general sent troops to relieve the crisis in our state when Jingzhou was first established. My lord is extremely grateful. The general's kindness must be borne in mind by the people of Yizhou."
Huang Quan hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Liu Feng. As he spoke, his expression was quite unnatural, as if he was preoccupied.
Liu Feng guessed that it was probably because Liu Zhang wanted to default on his debt, so he sent Huang Quan, the lobbyist.
"Liu Bei is still alive, so I don't dare to accept any gratitude or anything like that. I don't know when Liu Yizhou will be able to deliver Ba County, so I can use this as a springboard to go north to Fucheng to cut off Liu Bei's return route and completely lift the siege of Luocheng. "
Liu Feng pretended not to know and brought the topic to Ba County.
"Well"
Huang Quan's expression became more and more awkward, and he hesitated for a moment, "That's right, my lord is wondering if the previous agreement can be slightly modified."
"Amendment? What kind of amendment?"
?As expected.
Liu Feng's expression began to become less gentle.
Huang Quan coughed a few times and said, "My lord is wondering if Ba County can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of grains and grains. Now the money and grains are already in Jiangzhou City. As long as General Liu agrees, I can immediately send General Yan to the general." In the military camp.¡±
With hundreds of millions of money and food, it seems that Liu Zhang really spent a lot of money.
¡°However, compared to Bajun, that little money and food are nothing.
As long as I hold this county, it will be easy to capture Chengdu. All the wealth you, Liu Zhang, have now will belong to me, Liu Feng. How can I be moved by your mere hundreds of millions of money and grain?
After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Liu Feng's face immediately darkened and he fell silent.
Ma Di, who was sitting with him, understood Liu Feng's intention and asked: "Mr. Gongheng, what you said at the beginning was that when my lord sent troops, Liu Yizhou would cede the three counties in eastern Shu. Why is it that now that my lord has fulfilled his promise, Liu Yizhou has gone back on his word?" .¡±
Huang Quan didn't know how to explain it. What could he say? Did Liu Zhang fear that Liu Feng had a "tiger and wolf heart", so he didn't want to give up Ba County as promised?
"for this I¡¡"
Huang Quan hesitated, not knowing how to explain for a while, but he was full of complaints against Liu Zhang: Just don't listen to my advice, why do you still have to do such an embarrassing thing?
Liu Feng snorted coldly and suddenly said: "Liu Yizhou wants to break the contract. Is it because he is worried about me, Liu Feng?"
The straightforward and sharp words directly pierced the window paper.
Huang Quan was taken aback and said hurriedly: "No, of course not. My lord is very grateful to the general, so how can he be worried?"
At this time, Ma Di saw Liu Feng's face was torn, so he also said in a deep voice: "Ba County is the gateway for Yizhou to enter Chu. It is a land connected in all directions. Liu Yizhou refused to give up this county. What else could it be for if it was not to be wary of my lord. "
Facing the straightforward questioning of the two principals, Huang Quan felt increasingly guilty and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Xiao Chang, you misunderstood. This matter is a long story. Let's discuss it slowly. In fact, there is no need to rush to make a decision."
Huang Quan wanted to get over this embarrassing situation for the time being. The current deal was too late to be negotiated, so we could only wait until later.
Liu Feng winked at Ma Su, and Ma Su said: "In that case, please ask Mr. Gongheng to rest in our camp for a few days. After we have discussed this matter, it will not be too late for Mr. Gongheng to return to Chengdu."
Huang Quan was suddenly shocked. Liu Feng was planning to put him under house arrest.
Huang Quan came as Liu Zhang's envoy. Now that Liu Feng has such an attitude and is still under house arrest, the signs of turning against him are already very obvious.
The situation seems to be taking a turn for the worse.
"General Liu, please listen to me"
Huang Quan was shocked and wanted to explain again, but Liu Feng waved his hand and said: "Mr. Huang is tired too. Come on, send Mr. Huang to rest. Treat him well and don't be negligent."
After saying that, Liu Feng turned around, stood with his hands behind his hands and stopped looking at him.
Ma Di pointed his hand to the outside of the tent and said with a smile: "Mr. Gongheng, please."
With such an attitude, there is obviously no room for turning around. Huang Quan knew that Liu Feng was very angry now, and saying anything more would not help.
After sighing, Huang Quan reluctantly walked out of the tent.
After sending Huang Quan away, Ma Su's originally gloomy expression immediately became excited.
"My lord, Mr. Shiyuan is really good at predicting things. Liu Zhang really intends to break the contract and does not want to cede Bajun to us. This just gives us a perfect excuse."
When he sent troops before, Pang Tong did speculate that given the importance of Bajun, Liu Zhang would not cede it easily unless it was absolutely necessary.
The purpose of Liu Feng's entry into Shu was not to relieve Liu Zhang from the siege, but to use Liu Zhang's invitation to get rid of Liu Bei on the one hand, and on the other hand, he took the opportunity to extend his power into Shu.
Liu Zhang's breach of contract gave Liu Feng an excuse to fall out.
An excellent excuse.
"Well, Shi Yuan is right. Liu Jiyu is indeed a mediocre person. Since he has created an excuse for me like this, how can I live up to his good intentions?"
Liu Feng¡¯s expression was stern, and murderous intent was burning in his eyes.
Ma Su's spirit immediately surged, and he clenched his fists, as if he was already ready to move.
"Youchang, do you have any clever ideas?" Liu Feng asked.
Ma Su thought for a while and said calmly: "The most important thing about Yizhou is Chengdu. As long as we can win Chengdu, the entire Yizhou campaign can be determined. If the lord wants to take Shu, Chengdu is the key."
Liu Feng deeply agreed with Ma Su's analysis and couldn't help but nod his head.
"Right now, the main force of Liu Zhang's army is on the Luocheng line north of Chengdu. The south of Chengdu is basically empty except for Yan Yan's 10,000 troops in Jiangzhou. What we need to do now is to get rid of Yan Yan's blockade. Stone, and then the army marches along the river, marching straight to Chengdu, and the battle of Yizhou can be decided."
Liu Feng's blood was surging, and he knew exactly what Ma Di meant.
That is the blueprint for crossing Jingyi. In the past, Liu Bei spent a lot of effort to complete the great undertaking. Now, he can achieve it in just one year.
As long as you take this crucial step, you will transform from a weak person who is bullied on all sides to a strong person who can challenge Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
Since God has given it, how can we not take it away?
"Yan Yan that is to say, Yan Yan is the key to taking Chengdu. But as far as I know, this veteran is a tough guy. He has 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. If he wants to eradicate him, I'm afraid he must be An easy task.¡±
Liu Feng paced in the tent, frowning and thinking about how to deal with Yan Yan.
At this time, Ma Su smiled strangely and whispered: "Master, there is no need to worry. We don't need to use force to deal with Yan Yan. I have a clever plan of my own."
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
It¡¯s night.
In the side tent, Huang Quan was standing at the entrance of the tent, looking at the stars in the sky and sighing.
There were more than a dozen Jingzhou sergeants surrounding the military tent, all staring at him with lightning eyes, obviously monitoring him closely to prevent him from escaping.
"Liu Jiyu, Lord Liu Ji, a good Yizhou has been turned into aIn this way, if I had known this, I, Huang Quan, should not have been recruited by you to serve as an official, and I would have to clean up this mess for you all day long. "
When Huang Quan sighed, a man came strolling through the night. It was Ma Su.
"Mr. Gongheng, it's so late and you're still awake." Ma Su smiled gently, not at all the gloomy look he had during the day.
Huang Quan gave a wry smile: "How can I sleep peacefully when troubles bother me?"
Ma Su laughed: "I came here just to relieve my husband's worries. After listening to what I say next, my husband will definitely be able to sleep peacefully."
Huang Quan looked startled, and his originally listless face could not help but reveal a hint of hope.
¡°Youchang, please come inside quickly.¡±
After letting Ma Su into the tent, Huang Quan personally poured him a cup of tea and asked impatiently: "From what You Chang just said, is it possible that there is still room for negotiation about changing the contract?"
Ma Di took a sip of tea and sighed: "My lord was very angry at Liu Yizhou's distrust. He originally planned to withdraw his troops back to Jingzhou and let Liu Yizhou fight Liu Bei to the death alone."
"General Liu made a mistake"
Huang Quan didn't think much about it, and immediately wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Ma Di waving his hand.
The young Jingxiang counselor smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Gongheng, listen to what I have to say. After my lord's anger subsided, I put myself in Liu Yizhou's shoes and realized that this Bajun area is really important to Yizhou. , Liu Yizhou suffered the disaster of Liu Bei before, and it is human nature to be worried about my lord with lingering fears."
When he heard this, Huang Quan was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Liu Zhennan is worthy of being so arrogant. He can be so considerate of my lord's difficulties. Quan would like to thank General Liu on my lord's behalf."
Huang Quan thought that what Ma Di meant was that Liu Feng agreed to change the contract, so he was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
Ma Su raised his hand and smiled: "Mr. Gongheng, don't be too happy, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"You Chang, please speak." As soon as Huang Quan heard his words, his heart suddenly cast a shadow.
"When our Lord sent troops, he expressed Liu Yizhou's gratitude to the officers and soldiers to boost their morale. But now Liu Yizhou suddenly wants to go back on his word. If our Lord agreed easily, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers."
Huang Quan couldn't figure out the deep meaning of his words for a while, so he said uneasily: "My lord naturally also considered General Liu's difficulties, so he did not hesitate to use hundreds of millions of money and food as a replacement condition. If General Liu will reward you with these money and food, The hearts of the officers and soldiers of the three armies will naturally be at peace."
Ma Di shook his head and said: "This little money and food is far from enough to calm the grievances of the soldiers."
It turns out that the money and food provided are not enough.
Huang Quan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "As long as General Liu can agree to change the contract, money and food are not a problem. We can add as much as needed."
Ma Su paused for a moment and raised three fingers: "What my Lord means is that on the current basis, we will add another 30%."
30%
Huang Quan took a breath of cold air.
The amount of money and food he has brought now is more than half of the Chengdu treasury. It is the wealth that has been accumulated with great difficulty since Liu Yan's time. If he adds another 30% now, he will not be able to skin them again.
These money, food, and wealth were all meat cut from the bodies of the people of Yizhou. Huang Quan couldn't help but feel pain in his heart when he gave them away like this.
It¡¯s just that under the current situation, in order to quell Liu Feng¡¯s grievances, Huang Quan had no choice but to agree.
"Moreover, when Huang Quan left Chengdu, Liu Zhang had confessed that as long as Liu Feng was willing to change the contract, money and food would not be a problem, and he would be satisfied with any amount he wanted.
After weighing it again and again, Huang Quan sighed secretly, nodded reluctantly and said: "Okay, as long as General Liu is not embarrassed, if you add three points, you will get an extra three percent."
As soon as these words came out, it was Ma Su's turn to laugh heartily. He immediately said: "Liu Yizhou is indeed a generous master. Don't worry, Mr. Gongheng. As soon as the money and food arrive, my lord will immediately send troops northward. The army will go straight to Fucheng and cut off the enemy." When the time comes for Liu Bei's fellow to return, we will attack from the north and the south, and we will definitely annihilate Liu Bei, the unjust man."
Hearing such assurance, Huang Quan finally felt better.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off???
As long as Ba County can be saved, there is no harm in enduring the cruelty and cutting off some flesh.
"However, my lord has another condition, which I hope Mr. Gongheng can also satisfy." Ma Di suddenly said this again.
Huang Quan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Liu Feng was going to open his mouth again, and his expression suddenly became nervous.
But Ma Su chuckled and said: "Don't be afraid, sir, my lord is not the kind of greedy person."??There will be no other excessive demands. "
Huang Quan relaxed a little and asked, "But I don't know if General Liu has any other orders."
Liu Feng's request is actually very simple. Now the two sides have reached a new agreement. After receiving the money and food, Liu Feng will lead his army north along the Fushui River to capture Fucheng, an important town in Liu Bei's rear.
The problem is that Jiangzhou is the key to controlling Fukou.
At the time of the introduction, all Liu Feng's army marched north. If Liu Zhang changed his mind and ordered Yan Yan to occupy Fukou, cutting off Liu Feng's return route, the consequences would be disastrous.
You Liu Zhang can distrust me, so why should I, Liu Feng, be so confident about you Liu Zhang?
Of course, Ma Su did not directly express their distrust of Liu Zhang, but believed that Yan Yan, the governor of Bajun, was hostile to Liu Feng and had 10,000 troops. Before they could "fully apologize" to Yan Yan, , Liu Feng could never safely send troops northward.
After going around in a long circle, Ma Su made his request, which was to ask the veteran general Yan Yan to come out of the city to meet him. The two sides could talk honestly and heart-to-heart, and only then could they talk about sending troops after they established trust with each other.
"General Liu's proposal is understandable, but the old general Yan Xibo is very suspicious. If he were to come to the camp to meet General Liu in person, I'm afraid"
Huang Quan seems to be in a dilemma, and he himself has concerns about it.
Ma Su said easily: "Of course my general understands this, so for this meeting, General Yan does not need to come to my camp. We only need to choose a location outside the city far away from the two armies. Both sides will only bring some personal guards. Drink Drink and talk, then General Yan should have nothing to worry about."
Huang Quan was still worried that Liu Feng could use this to create another trick, and wanted to take the opportunity to lure Yan Yan into his camp, seize him, and then capture Jiangzhou without bloodshed and capture all of Ba County. Wouldn't it be bad then? Something big happened.
At this time, when Ma Su added, Huang Quan felt relieved and said happily: "This should be no problem, but I wonder when General Liu plans to meet?"
"The war in Luocheng is tense, and it should not be delayed for too long. My Lord means that if the meeting is not scheduled, it will be tomorrow. As for the money and food, they will also be sent to our military camp from tomorrow. As soon as the meeting is over, the money and food will be sent to our camp. If it is delivered, my lord can immediately send troops northward."
After a moment of reflection, Huang Quan no longer had any doubts and immediately agreed.
After Huang Quan agreed, Liu Feng no longer placed him under house arrest and released him from the camp that night.
Late at night, Huang Quan returned to Jiangzhou City.
After meeting Yan Yan, Huang Quan informed the veteran of all the agreements he had reached with Liu Feng, and asked him to go out of the city to meet Liu Feng tomorrow.
"Since we are meeting without soldiers and horses, I will naturally not be afraid of that young boy. However, I am worried that if Liu Feng's request to meet me out of the city is false, Jie Shi takes advantage of my absence in the city. If we suddenly send troops to attack Jiangzhou, what should we do then?"
Yan Yan has deep suspicion and fear of people named Liu after all.
Huang Quan comforted him and said: "Old General, you are too worried. We can send more scouts then. As soon as there is any movement in the Jingzhou army, the old general will return to the city immediately after learning about it. Besides, the city of Jiangzhou is strong, even if the old general If we can't return the city in time, how can the other side capture it in a moment?"
Hearing Huang Quan¡¯s analysis, Yan Yan felt relieved, thought for a long time, and then said: "Okay, I will go and meet Liu Zhennan tomorrow." - Didn't finish reading?
