Chapter 3: Bullying
I saw that the other party was not thinking properly, and his face changed repeatedly with his words. It was obvious that he had completely entered his own rhythm. He was overjoyed and poured out a powerful medicine: "Not to mention that Yuan Shu has made too many enemies." There are many, Cao Cao in the north, Liu Biao in the west, and Liu Yao in the east. These are all Fang Bo who have a state. Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu repeatedly and defeated him. Only a remnant of his army fled into Jiujiang. County. Liu Biao even sent Huang Zu to kill Sun Jian and cut off Yuan Shu's arm. "
"I don't know if the general is surprised that Xuzhou is adjacent to Jiujiang and Yuan Shu is an ally of Tao Gong. "Please, take over Xuzhou, but Yuan Jiujiu seems to be invisible?"
Cao Bao asked Liu Feng, and couldn't help but agree in his heart.
Yes, Yuan Gongli has always been extremely ambitious and greedy, and has long wanted to annex Xuzhou, but how could he be so low-key and conservative this time.
By this time, Cao Bao had completely entered Liu Feng's rhythm.
At the beginning, Cao Bao secretly ridiculed Liu Feng for being arrogant. Cao Cao, Kong Rong, Tian Kai, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, who among them were not heroes in the world and were famous all over the country.
Liu Feng, a mere kindergarten boy, dared to call him by his first name, which was extremely rude.
But as he listened, Cao Bao was deeply shocked by Liu Feng's vision, mind and knowledge of the world.
Cao Bao is not an ordinary person, he is Tao Qian's right-hand man, commanding Xuzhou's military.
In all likelihood, the information that Tao Qian has access to will not be hidden from him.
It was precisely this experience that allowed him to confirm that everything Liu Feng said was wrong. Even a lot of the information Liu Feng revealed was because he was ignorant.
This is really scary to think about. Could it be that Liu Bei, a big-eared thief, has hidden many secret tricks in private?
However, at this time, Cao Bao could not ignore this suspicion for the time being. He was more curious about why Yuan Shu was so abnormal.
He responded to Liu Feng for the first time, coughed dryly, and asked in a polite and warm voice: "Oh, in my opinion, why is the later general so abnormal?"
Liu Biaobo looked indifferent, but in his heart he couldn't help but feel excited by Cao Bao's reaction: "That's because Yuan Jiujiu can't spare the energy to pay attention to Xuzhou."
"Since being hit hard by Cao Mengde, Yuan Jiujiu has Fleeing to Jiujiang, his momentum was greatly reduced, but he was still domineering. "
"A few months ago, the imperial court appointed Liu Yao, a member of the Donglai clan, as Yangzhou pastor. Seeing the advantage, he wanted to take Liu Yao hostage. , and then carried out expansion and plunder in the name of the latter being expelled from the imperial court, and annexed the entire Yangzhou."
"Therefore, he specially sent his generals Wu Jing and Sun Ben to escort Liu Yao to Qu'a to take office."
"But I didn't expect that Liu Yao was not an ordinary person. He was sitting on the throne of the imperial court, and he used a trick to hide the truth. He successfully won the support of the local wealthy families in Jiangdong under the noses of Wu Jing and Sun Bi."
"Wu Jing and Sun Bi are usually domineering and plundering places, which has long made the local nobles in Yangzhou dissatisfied. With Liu Yao, who has the great justice of the imperial court in his hands, rising up and shouting, the color of Jiangdong changes in an instant. Wherever the message comes from, Wherever they went, all the counties in Jiangdong followed suit. These counties had long been unable to tolerate Yuan Shu's bullying and exploitation, and they all turned against Liu Yao."
"Wu Jing and Sun Ben saw that the situation was not good and wanted to suppress it with force. ."
"But Liu Yao, with Fan Neng and Zhang Ying as his generals, won consecutive battles, forcing Wu Jing and Sun Bi to lose their foothold in Jiangdong and were forced to retreat to Jiangbei."
"After this battle, Liu Yao's reputation was greatly enhanced, and he received the full support of all the counties and counties in Jiangdong. He is now fighting Yuan Shu in the Jianghuai River and is not losing at all."
"And Liu Biao from Jingzhou to the west of Yuan Shu also saw it. There is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they are ready to attack Yuan Shu. At this time, Yuan Highway is full of fire and miserable, and there is no time to pay attention to Xuzhou. "
Seeing Cao Bao's sudden realization, Liu Feng secretly laughed in his heart. Of course he would not tell him. Yuan Shu would be able to stabilize the situation next year.
The first thing this dry land evil spirit did after freeing his hands was to attack Xuzhou with all his strength. With Ji Ling as general, he led 40,000 elite troops out of Guangling and attacked Xiapi, forcing Liu Bei to lead Guan Yu and the main force resisted with all their strength, fighting fiercely on the Xuyi and Huaiyin lines, and there was a stalemate.
The result was well known, and Lu Bu was given another opportunity to steal.
The trigger that provided Lu Bu with this opportunity was the head of the general in front of him, Cao Bao. "At this moment, even if the general surrenders to Yuan Shu, I am afraid it will only be used to delay Cao Cao from going south. If I am not afraid of offending the general, if the general can defeat Cao Cao, why should he surrender to Yuan Shu?"
Cao Bao felt a buildup of tightness in his chest, and was impressed by Liu Feng's in-depth and precise analysis.
But at the same time, he was surrounded by greater troubles and fears, which made him sigh uncontrollably: "Hey, in this situation, where can the leopard go?"
These words just came out. As soon as he said it, Cao Bao knew he had said the wrong thing.
The man sitting in front of him is Liu Bei's son, and Liu Bei is his immediate boss.
In front of the son of my immediate boss, I asked myself what the way out was. Is this inappropriate behavior?
Just when Cao Bao was uneasy and secretly checking Liu Feng's reaction, Liu Feng suddenly stood up and walked quickly to Cao Bao.
Obviously Liu Feng was no more than ten years old and no more than five feet tall, but Cao Bao actually made an awkward move by leaning back to dodge.
Seeing the other party's gaffe, Liu Feng turned a blind eye and stared at Cao Bao with fierce eyes. He said impassionedly: "General, the way out lies with my father!"
Cao Bao lowered his voice uneasily. He lowered his face and said, "Are you Mr. Liu?"
"The reason why the general is hesitant is because he is afraid that my father will have a good relationship with Chen Yuanlong, and he has no close friendship with the rest of Tao Gong's troops, and he is afraid that he will not tolerate the general. But Tao Gong The remaining tribe is Tao Gong’s remaining tribe, and the general is a general. My father and the general had a close relationship during the Battle of Tandong.”
Hearing this, Cao Bao couldn't help but think of the Battle of Tandong.
In this battle, the Tao and Liu coalition were actually defeated by Cao Cao.
But Liu Bei's three men, Zhang and Zhao, excelled in this battle. They were extremely active in breaking the formation and breaking up the rear.
It was also because of the outstanding performance of the three of them that the Tao-Liu coalition was able to retreat smoothly, defeat without collapse, and maintain their vitality.
Cao Bao couldn't help but have a thought in his heart. I'm afraid only Liu Xuande, who has such a powerful general, can resist Cao Mengde, right?
But then, Cao Bao still shook his head: "Master, there are some things that you really don't know. It's not that Bao doesn't respect Duke Xuande, it's because Duke Xuande doesn't want to trust and get close to us."
" The general is really worried."
Liu Feng said nonchalantly: "But since the general is worried about this, there is a way for my father and the general to achieve mutual trust."
Cao Bao was doubtful: "Oh? If Master has such a good idea, Bao is willing to hear the details."
Liu Feng knew that the most critical moment was coming, and all the preparations ahead were for this moment. .
Success or failure, now is the most critical step to win the foundation of Xuzhou for my father.
Liu Feng took a deep breath, looked at Cao Bao, and spit out six words: "Feng, I would like to ask for the general's daughter."
Cao Bao was stunned and looked at Liu Feng in disbelief.
The protagonist of this book, Liu Feng, is a real figure in history. He was the son of Liu Bei’s first wife when he was in his hometown. He was later lost during the war in Xuzhou and was finally found in Hanzhong.
It just so happens that this son’s name is also Liu Feng.
This son was not the godson Kou Feng whom Liu Bei later adopted in Jingzhou.
