Chapter 59: Vetoing Zhang Fei
Liu Feng interrupted at this time: "Feng has already known the capabilities of the meritorious cao. It's just that the tiger is fighting the rabbit, and he also tried his best, secretly thinking that the meritorious cao is a complete preparation."
After persuading Chen Deng, Liu Feng turned to Liu Bei and said: "In my opinion, five hundred county soldiers can be drawn from Xiapi, five hundred county soldiers can be drawn from Donghai, and five hundred county soldiers can be drawn from Danyang soldiers. One hundred people, and finally five hundred can be selected from Langya's surrender, making up two thousand, which is expected to be enough to suppress the entire Dongguan county for the time being."
Liu Feng's plan can be said to have been ruined by Chen Deng. Heartbroken.
The five hundred county soldiers drawn from Xiapi can be Chen Deng's soldiers. His Chen family is the biggest local gangster in Xiapi country. They have always been prestigious among the county soldiers and can be relied on as their confidants.
The five hundred county soldiers drawn from the East China Sea were also natives of Xuzhou and had a natural affinity for Chen Deng. With the support of the Xiapi County soldiers, Chen Yuanlong's methods were used to subdue the Donghai County soldiers with ease.
The final draw of 500 people from Danyang soldiers was not only a test for Chen Deng, but also opened up Chen Deng's future promotion channels.
The Danyang soldiers are still the main force in Xuzhou. In terms of number, there are nearly 30,000 Danyang soldiers, accounting for three-fifths of the total number of Xuzhou soldiers.
I believe that in the following years, the proportion of Danyang soldiers will still be high.
If you want to take charge of the army under Liu Bei, you must handle the relationship with the Danyang soldiers.
Otherwise, misfortune will be caused by Xiao Qiang, and Liu Bei in history has already shown what a heavy price this will pay.
Chen Deng is a native of Xuzhou, and his relationship with Danyang Bing has not been very good.
This time the transfer of five hundred people under his control was actually an opportunity for him to reach into the Danyang soldiers.
However, in this way, it is equivalent to openly allowing Chen Deng to expand his influence in the military. If the monarch did not trust his ministers to the extreme, it would be impossible to nod.
This fully proves the degree of trust the Liu family and his son have in him.
"Feng'er's words are very kind."
Hearing this, Liu Bei just thought for a moment, nodded his head, and said sincerely: "Yuanlong, five hundred people are too few. Please know that you He is bold and ambitious, has high-spirited talent, and has the ability to enter the general situation.
However, Yuanlong should also take care of himself and never take risks.
Yuanlong will win. Passing Xuzhou
You can abandon Xuzhou, but you can’t leave Yuanlong.”
Chen Deng was so astute. After Liu Feng suggested it, he quickly understood the goodwill and trust hidden in Liu Feng's suggestion.
At this time, I heard Liu Bei's lyrical words, and his eyes immediately turned red. He expressed his loyalty to Liu Bei and said: "When I ascend, my talents are sparse and my knowledge is shallow. I have been entrusted with important responsibilities by entrusting you with the mission. I will definitely be a general when I ascend." Do your best to serve your Majesty."
Liu Bei naturally comforted him, and the relationship between the monarch and his ministers deepened.
After Chen Deng left, Liu Bei turned around and asked Liu Feng: "Feng'er, what you did today seems to want Yuan Long to get involved in the military?"
Liu Feng was secretly relieved. After taking a breath, his purpose was somewhat obvious. If Liu Bei didn't ask, he would have to worry about something going wrong.
Now that Liu Bei asked the question openly, it showed that his father still trusted him very much, so as long as he answered well, there would be no sequelae.
"Father, this is what the child thinks."
Liu Feng sat up straight and replied seriously: "Xuzhou has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times. Even if my father kept a low profile and kept his duties, Guard the state boundaries without invading others.
But father, people don’t hurt tigers. Tigers are willing to eat people.
Let’s not mention the others for now, just Huaiyang Yuan Shu. He will not let our state go, but he is currently surrounded by enemies and cannot spare the energy and troops. Once the pressure on him from Liu Biao and Liu Yao is reduced, he will definitely launch an invasion." Liu Bei naturally agreed with Liu Feng's analysis. This was also the main reason why he had been worried.
Now combined with Liu Feng's strong recommendation of Chen Deng, Liu Bei guessed and came to an obvious conclusion: "Could it be that you want Yuan Long to take charge alone?"
"Exactly So!"
Liu Feng suggested: "Xuzhou is connected in all directions and is a place for hundreds of battles. If there is a multi-front war in the future, how can my father be saved? Come here?”
Liu Bei was horrified. Indeed, as Liu Feng said, Xuzhou is surrounded by enemies on three sides. The terrain is flat and easy to attack and difficult to defend. It is really impossible for him to defend from three sides alone. He must have at least two helpers. OK.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Bei asked Liu Feng for his opinion: "Feng'er, what do you think of your third uncle? Can you take charge of it on your own?"
Liu Feng was worried. Sure enough, at this time, Zhang Fei was the real person in Liu Bei Group. The number two figure, and one that Liu Bei himself highly praised.
Whether it is feelings or interests, Zhang Fei is much more important to Liu Bei than Guan Yu.
This is not only because Zhang Fei and Liu Bei are from the same hometown, but also because when Liu Bei first started his army, Zhang Fei broke his family to finance it, taking a large number of original shares with him, and he never raised his tail and gave money in a down-to-earth manner. Liu Bei was the younger brother, and he was also very good at fighting and had military talent.
What boss wouldn’t treasure such an original shareholder?
It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, the only T0 in Liu Bei's heart is Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Jian Yong are T0.5, and the others are T1.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Fei will surpass Guan Yu and become Liu Bei's group was the first person to take charge of his own affairs. He became Xuzhou's left-behind agent and acted as an agent for the state's power. This was a kind of trust that was like entrusting one's life to others.
It’s a pity that Zhang Fei lost.
History has it that Zhang Fei betrayed Liu Bei's trust, and Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou carelessly.
After connecting with each other, Guan Yu carelessly lost Jingzhou, and the two brothers teamed up to trick Liu Bei. In the end, Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, and all the elite members of his direct line were killed in the battle, almost ruining his foundation.
But later generations looked at this issue objectively and found that Zhang Fei's failure was actually inevitable, even causal. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were essentially tricked by Liu Bei.
Chen Qun had urged Liu Bei before that Xuzhou was a pool of muddy water and not to mess with it.
It’s okay if Liu Bei doesn’t listen, but he should at least pay attention to it, right?
The forces in Xuzhou are complicated, and Liu Bei has never been able to digest the Danyang soldiers. Although the relationship between them has improved, after all, the bomb is still there and has not been completely dismantled.
Since the bomb has not been dismantled, it is necessary to properly arrange the people left behind to ensure that the people left behind will not detonate the bomb, or that it can be suppressed if it is detonated.
But Liu Bei chose Zhang Fei to take charge, and Zhang Fei detonated the bomb as expected;
Therefore, Liu Bei must at least share the responsibility with Zhang Fei for this blame.
As for Guan Yu, he was even more unlucky. He was more unjust than Zhang Fei, and he was tricked more tragically by Liu Bei.
"Father, the third uncle is not suitable."
Liu Feng naturally knew that following Liu Bei's words would definitely make him happy, but the price of this happiness would be too high.
Therefore, he could only remonstrate directly: "The third uncle has a rough temperament. Although he values the scholars, he despises the soldiers and even the generals in Danyang.
Mencius said that the weather is not as good as the right place, and the good place is not as good as the people.
>
The third uncle has lost harmony since birth, and the generals are fighting outside but not at home. Isn't this a taboo in the art of war? "
Liu Bei looked a little ugly, but he didn't get angry.
