Chapter 38 Liu Gong’s clever plan to lose Xuzhou
Liu Bei couldn’t help but have a ridiculous idea, could it be that I haven’t woken up yet?
After all, Liu Bei is a hero of his generation. Although he is still very immature, he has not given up easily.
Although he felt that Liu Feng's words were very reasonable, and the deductions were logical and reasonable, he still frowned and stared at the map, trying to find the flaws in Liu Feng's words.
However, what disappointed him was that no matter how much he thought about it, he could not find a flaw.
At this time, Liu Feng deliberately added jealousy and said: "Father, there are still two terrible things that are still behind, and the child has not said anything yet."
Liu Bei was shocked. This is not because Liu Bei was undecided. Xuzhou is the first foundation he has obtained, and it has placed all his hopes on it.
To put it bluntly, Liu Bei doesn't know how he can survive after losing Xuzhou.
Historically, Liu Bei remained unyielding after losing Xuzhou. That was because he had a strong ability to accept, but it does not mean that he has this understanding now.
Moreover, after losing Xuzhou, Liu Bei has been stationed in Xiaopei.
Anyone familiar with geography knows that Xiaopei is at the gateway from Yuzhou to Xuzhou, only 20 kilometers away from Xuzhou.
Afterwards, Brother Big Ear was defeated by Lu Bu several times. However, after being defeated each time, he reorganized his troops and returned to Xiaopei. This was all part of Brother Big Ear's full desire for Xuzhou. Heart.
In the end, he even deceived Cao Cao, who had been investing in him, and was finally able to return to Xuzhou and become independent again.
Although Liu Bei has not lost Xuzhou yet, his attention and love for Xuzhou is no less than in the future.
"This, this...what else is wrong?"
Even though Liu Bei was frightened and uneasy, he still did not hide his illness and avoid medical treatment, and had the courage to face difficulties head-on.
In this case, Liu Feng would not be polite and said directly: "Actually, I have told my father about these two disasters before.
The first disaster is Huainan Yuan Shu.
I mentioned to my father earlier that Yuan Shu was in a quagmire at this time and was trapped in Yangzhou by Liu Biao, Liu Yao and the Jiangnan nobles. With the support of the Jiangdong nobles, his talent is average and he can win people's service, but it is a pity that he is alone in the end."
At this point, Liu Feng paused, almost bald, and told Sun Ce.
Right now, Sun Ce is just a fledgling junior and has no outstanding achievements. Even when he went to Danyang to recruit soldiers, he was almost beaten to death by Zu Lang, the chief of Shanyue, on the way back. He almost lost his life. No more.
To say that he can defeat Liu Yao, even if he brought out immortals and ancestors, Liu Bei would have a hard time believing it.
"Haier predicts that Liu Yao may only be able to hold on until next year at most.
Once Liu Yao falls into a disadvantage and Yuan Shu is free, his first target will be me, Xuzhou. It’s me, Guangling County.”
Liu Feng's attitude was very certain, and he also provided evidence: "After all, Yuan Shu has just proclaimed himself the uncle of Xuzhou, and his wolf ambitions for Xuzhou are obvious."
"Yuan Gongli is particularly hateful!"
Liu Bei said bitterly, he had finally found a place to stay, but Yuan Shu was so shameless, coveting Xuzhou, and he was definitely at odds with him.
But then I thought, two years later, Yuan Shao settled in Qingzhou, Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, and Yuan Shu invaded Guangling again. Could it be that he could only stay in Xuzhou for two years?
Liu Feng, who didn’t know the sorrow in his father’s heart, continued to speak. In fact, he would have continued to speak even if he knew. After all, he was a filial son who served his father with sincerity and his emperor with loyalty. Liu Feng was both sincere and loyal. , is really the great filial piety in the world.
"Father, don't forget that there is Lu Bu." Liu Feng's long words made Liu Bei feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
“I have told my father before that once Lu Fengxian is defeated, he will only have one way to go to Xuzhou.
At that time, will my father accept it or not? Accept it?
If you don't accept it, Lu Bu is very likely to hate his father because of his tigerish nature, and he will fight to the death with me, Xuzhou.
If accepted, where would his father place Lu Bu?
Could it be Pengcheng?
That would be dangerous. "
Liu Bei was dumbfounded. His son really knew how to pinch him.
After Liu Feng told him that Lu Bu would definitely come to vote, he thought for a long time and finally came up with the idea. A clever idea.
That is to place Lu Bu in Pengcheng. Anyway, the country of Pengcheng is already empty. There is no fear that Lu Bu can take root in Pengcheng and turn against the guests. At the same time, Lu Bu can be used as a vassal to resist Cao Cao's possible attack. It is simply killing two birds with one stone. It is a stroke of genius.
But hearing what his son meant, wasn’t there something wrong with his clever plan?
Liu Bei asked tremblingly: "Is there anything wrong with placing Lu Bu in Pengcheng?"
Liu Feng sighed and asked: "Father, Lu Bu is a tiger and a wolf. , has no faith, and rebels are commonplace. You placed him in Pengcheng today, hoping to use his power to resist Cao Yanzhou.
But how do you know that Lu Bu is in Pengcheng and will not covet me to go to Picheng. ?
It should be noted that the road from Pengcheng to Xiapi is smooth, the terrain is flat, and there are rivers to help transport supplies.
Lü Bu's army is a Bingzhou army, with many horses and good runners.
Once Yuan Shu invaded, his father went south to resist, but Lu Bu suddenly rebelled and went straight to Xiapi. What should his father do? ”
Liu Bei was heartbroken. He had been fighting for half his life and had fought so many battles. How could he not know whether what Liu Feng said was true or false?
Big Ear Brother At this moment, his confidence fell to the bottom. Thinking of Chen Qun's words to persuade him in Yuzhou, was Chen Qun really right?
Chen Qun tried hard to persuade Liu Bei not to leave Yuzhou and go to Xuzhou. To sum it up in one sentence, Yuzhou supports you Liu Bei, and staying in Yuzhou for development is the best choice.
Xuzhou looks very beautiful, but the water is too deep and you, Old Liu, cannot control it. If the boat capsizes, you will lose even the territory of Yuzhou.
Seeing his father falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, Liu Feng knew a good son. At this time, he must encourage his father and let him know that his son will always stand with him. Face all kinds of difficulties and obstacles.
"Although the situation is not optimistic, there is no need for the father to worry as the child is here!"
Liu Feng straightened up and looked directly at Liu Bei. His solemn words were filled with strong confidence, which infected the people who were worried and uneasy. Liu Bei.
"What good advice can Feng'er give to his father?"
Liu Bei was really frightened by the terrible scene Liu Feng described. If this became true, then Liu Bei would be worse off than dead.
However, Liu Feng's deduction was extremely reasonable and flawless, making it impossible for Liu Bei to refute it.
Unless Liu Bei is an ostrich, but he has a tenacious character, how could he do such a stupid thing.
Liu Bei really wanted to hear some good news from Liu Feng at this moment, so as to relieve his mood.
Liu Feng also knew that he had reached rock bottom and it was time to rebuild Liu Bei's confidence.
