The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 13 Liu Feng's Choice

Liu Feng's choice

Seeing that Zhuge Qiao came out to stop him, Liu Feng stared at Zhuge Qiao with an expression of disbelief; as if to say, "I just said that I should take Meng Da's head to the King of Hanzhong, but now I am pleading for Meng Da's envoy."

Seeing Liu Feng's expression, Zhuge Qiao knew what he was thinking, so he gave Liu Feng a look, and then stared at the messenger again;
"You two go out first." Liu Feng pointed to the two soldiers who had just entered;
"General, I think this matter can be considered." Zhuge Qiao saw the two soldiers go out.

"The general is absolutely right. In fact, General Meng Da is also thinking about General Liu," the envoy quickly echoed.

"It's impossible for me to betray the King of Hanzhong, even to kill me," Liu Feng said excitedly.

"If your father wanted to kill you, would you still work for him?" Zhuge Qiao suddenly said cruelly, and even winked secretly at Liu Feng.

"Don't talk nonsense, how could my father harm me?" Liu Feng immediately understood Zhuge Qiao's meaning.

"Why did your adoptive father transfer you to Mianzhu, and why did he only ask you to bring less than [-] people to suppress the rebellion? Didn't he want you to go back to Chengdu to find an excuse to harm you after you were defeated?" Zhuge Qiao continued.

"He won't harm me, I'm his adopted son"

"The general will harm you because you are his adopted son, because he is afraid that you will take away the status of his own son," the envoy continued to remind.

"My adoptive father is not such a person, it is impossible for him to do this"

"The reason why your adoptive father did this is actually one of the biggest reasons, that is, he didn't go to rescue Guan Yu. The world knows that Liu Bei values ​​loyalty, so how could he let you go?" The emissary said more and more vigorously.

Under Zhuge Qiao's hint, Liu Feng didn't say a word now, but stood there with his eyes closed and meditated; he made a helpless expression.

"General, you can think about it carefully. If you continue to attack Xiangyang, there will be absolutely no results, but there will be serious consequences; if you take refuge with us, you can continue to garrison Xiangyang and Shangyong with Meng Da and the future." Prosperity and wealth can be enjoyed inexhaustibly, and the general can carefully consider them." The messenger once again displayed his talent for eloquence.

"General, let's surrender, we really can't go back in Chuanzhong," Zhuge Qiao also persuaded

Liu Feng was struggling hard; looking at Liu Feng's struggling expression, the emissary knew that he was about to succeed, thinking that he would be rewarded by an official when he went back, he was a little excited to think about it.

Liu Feng thought about it for a while, "Okay! I've thought about it, and I'm willing to obey you, but I don't want to guard the border of the King of Hanzhong in the future, and I don't want to be an enemy of my foster father." Liu Feng responded powerlessly
"There is no problem with this, but I don't know when the general will come to surrender." The messenger asked with satisfaction.
"It's good after three days, because I have to send people to Mianzhu to pick up my family, and I have to appease the soldiers, because the soldiers here have my adoptive father's cronies," Liu Feng said helplessly.

The messenger wanted to pick up his family when he saw Liu Feng, and knew that Liu Feng must have sincerely surrendered, "General Liu can prepare here, I will go and tell General Meng Da the news first."

Liu Feng gave the emissary a look, "That offends me; someone who came here drove him out of the camp. If it wasn't for the sake of the two armies fighting and not beheading the envoy, I would have to kill you." Liu Feng shouted angrily. .

The envoy also cooperated and left with the soldiers.

"Bo Song, do you have any plan?" After the envoy left, Liu Feng hurriedly asked Zhuge Qiao.

"There is a plan to kill Meng Da's head, as long as you surrender, because you have many reasons to surrender; as long as you act like a little Meng Da, you will not doubt it, and then take advantage of Meng Da's carelessness in Xiangyang City. Its head, and then arrange for people to respond, then the event will be accomplished.”

"What should we do if we are found out?"

"It's not as good as a tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's cub; I believe Brother Liu still has the courage, and I will go with you when the time comes, Meng Da doesn't know me either."

"You underestimate me too much. I never lack courage, but I can't bear it if you make a mistake."

"It's been said that if you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't get a tiger's cub. How could I back down? It's just that our biggest opponent is not Meng Da, but the Shen brothers in the city."

"What do they have to worry about, maybe they will stab in the back"

"Brother Liu, do you know the relationship between the Shen brothers and Meng Da? Maybe Meng Da was persuaded to surrender by them. These days I have been lurking in the city to inquire about the news, and I found out that they have a great relationship with Meng Da. When the time comes The two of them will definitely surrender, so we must act first."

"What does Bosson mean?"

"Now the two brothers, Shen Dan is the prefect of Shangyong, and Shen Yi is the prefect of Xincheng; if they rebel, the southeast barrier of Hanzhong will be lost, and brother Liu will also be implicated. We still have three days left, and we will march to Shangyong now; Dan still dare not not open the city gate for us, and he doesn't know our plan yet, so we can take the opportunity to kill Shen Dan and blockade the whole city before going to Xiangyang; the only thing we can't do is that we can't divide our troops, so Xincheng County has no other way Take it back"

"I have a solution for this. When I was the deputy general here, I had a friend in Xincheng. He is now serving in the Xincheng army. He was picked up by me and should be reliable. I will write to him now to ask him to pay attention to the trial. , prepare our own troops in the city, and when we return from Xiangyang, we will lead our troops to cooperate with each other, and the new city will be in our hands."

"This method is feasible, if and only have to try it."

"Why don't we go to Shangyong first and then go to Xincheng, won't we solve the problem?"

"Brother Liu doesn't know something. Now Meng Da must be connected with the Shen brothers. If we go to Shangyong and then to Xincheng, we won't be able to keep up. If Xiangyang finds out, our plan will be over."

"I'll go to Shangyong immediately after finishing a book." Liu Feng hastily began to write letters to his old friends in Xincheng; Zhuge Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now the situation is still under control.

On the afternoon of the second day, outside Shangyong city.

"General Liu, you are going to attack Xiangyang, why did you suddenly come to Shangyong?" Shen Dan caught Liu Feng at the gate of the city.

"Waiting for reinforcements from Central Sichuan," Liu Feng said casually.

Shen Dan responded; Liu Feng then stationed his troops in the city, because Shen Dan was not fully prepared. If Shen Dan was fully prepared, Liu Feng might not even be able to enter the city gate; so Liu Feng had to bring all the troops into the city. Unforeseen.

The next day: "Prefect, General Liu Feng, please go to the main hall to discuss the matter of dispatching troops," said a small soldier who sent an order.

"Well, come right away." Shen Dan couldn't figure it out, didn't he wait for the reinforcements, why did he have to send troops before the reinforcements arrived.

"Everyone is here. I am here today to announce something. I will lead the army tomorrow, but I have no way to attack Xiangyang City with my more than ten thousand soldiers. I hereby invite everyone to come and support me. I have planned one or two, and please tell me frankly," Liu Feng said humbly.

"Ask the King of Hanzhong to send troops again," said a man dressed as a scribe below.
"Five days ago, I received news that the King of Hanzhong sent another [-] elite soldiers to me, but yesterday I received news that the King of Hanzhong canceled the reinforcements because he had to prepare to attack Wu, but Xiangyang still had to attack. Order!"

"Then why didn't the general tell the truth?" Another person stood up and said

"I didn't save the Second General Guan in the Battle of Jingzhou. How could the King of Hanzhong understand me if he held a grudge? Don't tell me he sent reinforcements," Liu Feng said with a helpless expression.

"So there is no way out for me, I plan to take the third way"
