Chapter 307 Xuzhou Erniu
Liu Yao made no sound after hearing this, but Liu Ji was greatly shocked when he heard it. He ran directly to Liu Biao, bowed his head to the ground, and begged: "My father had a cough at night. He stayed up all night, and even occasionally coughed up blood. Please look at Zheng Nan..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Yao was furious and yelled: "You are ignorant, how dare you. "Nonsense."
Liu Ji was stunned by his father's anger, but Liu Feng didn't tolerate him.
"Liu Shijun, Brother Liu is too concerned, so what's wrong?"
Liu Feng moved two steps and stood in front of Liu Ji.
Liu Feng was calm and unafraid in front of Lu Bu at first, but Liu Yao's anger really failed him. Moreover, after this year's experience, Liu Feng was confident that he would dare to fight Lu Bu again.
Although he is definitely no match for the opponent, it is very exciting to think about fighting bravely in front of the tiger.
Obviously, Liu Feng was deeply moved by the murderous intent of the other party when they met last time. Although he did not make a fool of himself, he was still grieving in his heart.
Liu Feng's move to cover Liu Ji was just a habitual move. It was out of his instinct to protect children and was not directed at Liu Ji personally.
Of course, Liu Ji is more handsome and cute, and naturally he is more loved by others.
But Liu Feng didn't know that his natural action made Liu Yao's eyebrows jump.
Liu Feng continued to say: "Besides, if Brother Liu did not lie, what Liu Shijun should do at this time is to investigate the root cause and take better care of it. He should not blame it, seek restraint, conceal the disease and avoid medical treatment."< br>
I don’t know if Liu Feng’s persuasion had an effect, or if Liu Yao figured it out on his own.
"In that case, then send someone to escort me to Tancheng."
After Liu Yao said these words, he turned around and entered the inner room.
Although Liu Feng didn't know why the other party softened his attitude, naturally everyone was happy with such a result.
No matter what, Liu Yao is from the royal family, and he comes from Liu Fei, the leader of the kings.
The Liu family of Donglai is much more famous than the Liu family of Zhuoxian County. They are the family of the county magistrate, and they have been appointed for two thousand shi in the past dynasties. Liu Yao himself is also a famous person in Qingzhou, and he and his brother Liu Dai are both known as Donglai Erlong, and later the two brothers were appointed as governors and governors, which shows their great reputation.
Of course it would be better not to kill such a famous person if possible. If there is a chance, of course it is better to provide him with support, and it is best to provide him with care until his death. Then Liu Bei and his son can receive many invisible benefits.
Since Liu Yao is so sensible, Liu Feng will naturally not be stingy.
Immediately dispatched two hundred soldiers to escort him along the way, and prepared a large ship for him, which could reach Tancheng by water.
Three days later, Liu Yao left Shicheng with Liu Ji and other children, boarded the ship in Niuzhu, and headed for Tancheng, Xuzhou.
Before leaving, Liu Yao also had an in-depth talk with Sun Shao and the Teng brothers.
Liu Yao gave the three of them two choices. One was to follow him to Tancheng, and he would look for opportunities to recommend them directly to the court.
The second option is to recommend them to Liu Bei and his son. If you want to find Liu Bei, then go directly across the river to Jiangbei. He will write a letter as a recommendation. If you want to find Liu Feng, it will be more convenient. Before leaving, he can also introduce both parties in person.
Originally Liu Yao thought that maybe the three of them would be more inclined to accept the imperial conquest, or to join Liu Bei.
Unexpectedly, Sun Shao and the three of them all chose the last option.
After Liu Yao was stunned for a while, he also woke up.
Sun Shao and the others obviously felt that Liu Feng had a bright future. Moreover, following Liu Feng would not only allow them to stay in Jiangdong, but also make contributions.
Now that the battle between Sun and Liu is imminent, everyone has made contributions, but what can be compared to going to Luozhong?
Not to mention that Luozhong is now in dilapidated condition, and even the food rations have to be imported from outside.
Although Liu Yao was surprised, he did not regret it. He invited Liu Feng over that day and introduced Sun Shao and the others to each other.
Liu Feng was so enthusiastic that he was so sleepy that he came to the pillow.
The three Sun Shao talents are also quite good. Although they are not top-notch, they are all top-notch talents. Sun Shao was lucky enough to become the first prime minister of Soochow, and he also has a few skills.
Besides, Sun Shao and the others have been accompanying Liu Yao in Jiangdong for two or three years, and they also know something about Jiangdong's affairs. They are good advisers.
Therefore, Liu Feng agreed immediately, and immediately appointed Sun Shao and three others to join the army, and Sun Shao joined the rear army as a military advisor.
At this time, the war was about to begin. Liu Feng did not arrange for Sun Shao and the others to take up civilian posts in the local area. Instead, they took up military positions such as military advisor and army enlistment. In the eyes of Sun Shao and the others, this was not just to give them the opportunity to gain military merit. ?
Sun Shao and the other three were overjoyed and immediately bowed down to Liu Feng, thus establishing their master and subordinate.
Liu Yao looked on, feeling a little sad and lonely, but also feeling very proud.
In Liu Yao's view, Liu Feng was giving himself face.
Seeing that Liu Yao and Sun Shao were very satisfied with this arrangement, Liu Feng was naturally very happy.
Finally, Liu Feng and Sun Shao personally sent Liu Yao to Niuzhu to board the ship to sail north, which was extremely polite.
Next, Liu Feng's troops, who had rested for several days in Shicheng, resumed their eastward march. Zhou Yu, Zhang Ying and Yu Mi's troops also completed their preparations and set off southward.
Let's just talk about Liu Feng's route. He led Fan Neng, who was familiar with geography, as the forward, Pan Zhang's troops on the left, Xu Sheng's troops who arrived were on the right, his own army Jia Kui's troops were in the middle, and Zhao Fan's troops were in the rear. Go east.
At the same time, Dong Xi and Gan Ning took the water route and separated from the land troops.
There are many waterways in the east of the Yangtze River, and the land and water armies are not far apart, so they can look after each other at any time.
If there are special circumstances, the two sides only need to march for a day to converge at one place.
At this time, among the cities in the north of Danyang, Jurong had been captured by Zuo Rong, Moling was garrisoned by Xue Li, Jiang Cheng was under the control of Liu Bei's army, and Hushu was outflanked by Ju. Between Rong, Moling and Jiangcheng.
In this way, the only two counties that could really be used by Liu Yao were Shicheng and Danyang. If Moling cannot be taken back, Hushu will be considered half at best. Even as time goes by, I am afraid that it will become more and more independent.
To the northeast of Shicheng is Moling. The two cities are only seventy or eighty miles apart.
Liu Feng did not speed up, nor did he deliberately suppress his speed. He completed this section of the road in two days.
When Liu Feng's troops came to the city, Moling Xue Li immediately went out of the city to greet him.
Xue Li is a very interesting person. He is a typical person with big ambitions and little courage. He was originally the Prime Minister of Pengcheng. He relied on the wealth and strength of Pengcheng to compete with Tao Qian many times, disobeying orders and disrespecting Tao Qian.
Later, Tao Qian gained a foothold in the East China Sea Kingdom and went north to Langya to defeat the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans, gaining great momentum.
Xue Li suddenly became scared again. He was afraid that Tao Qian would murder him, so he actually took a bunch of people, money and food from Pengcheng and headed south, and went to Jiangdong to become a powerful man.
After Liu Yao took office as Yangzhou Mu, Xue Li, Zuo Rong and other wandering elements in the north of Danyang recognized Liu Yao as the leader of the alliance and paid some money and food in exchange for Liu Yao's recognition and tolerance for them.
Liu Yao suffered a huge defeat at the Xiangxiang River, losing a lot of troops, and what was even worse was that he also lost his prestige.
After he ran away, Zuo Rong and Xue Li occupied Jurong and Moling respectively, and began to defy Liu Yaoyang.
By the time Liu Feng entered Jiangdong, these two men had already stopped listening to the announcement.
It's just that Xue Li's good days have only just passed a year, and Liu Feng actually crossed the river and came to Moling City with troops.
Xue Li was frightened and frightened. He was worried that Liu Feng would settle accounts with him. After all, he took away the money, food and population of Pengcheng Kingdom. Xuzhou is Liu Bei's foundation. Theoretically speaking, Liu Feng, as Liu Bei's son, has the right to ask him for compensation.
Now that Liu Feng is here, how can he not panic.
Rise an army to fight?
That is naturally impossible.
If Xue Li had been so brave, he would not have been scared by Tao Qian and ran away. In the future, he will not die in the hands of Zuo Rong because of this, and his tribe will be annexed by him.
So, after much hesitation, when the time came, Xue Li finally chose to go out of the city to meet him.
When Liu Feng came to Moling, Xue Li opened the city gate and personally led people out to greet him.
At this time, strictly speaking, he was still a white body. The former Prime Minister Peng Cheng had been lost since he left Xuzhou. Although Moling was currently occupied by him, Liu Yao did not give up the Moling County Magistrate. he.
From this point of view, to say that he is a white body is to flatter him. Strictly speaking, he is a rebel who occupies the county.
Liu Feng had already thought of a solution to Xue Li and Zuo Rong.
Historically speaking, these two people are both successful but failed, and their conduct is extremely bad. To say that they are both garbage is not the word garbage.
What's more important is that these two guys are still golden pigs. Although they have no fixed residence, they each occupy a county with great difficulty, but they have a lot of money and food in their hands.
When Xue Li left, he wiped out all Pengcheng’s savings.
When Zuo Rong ran away, he packed up all the savings of Guangling, Pengcheng and Xiapi plus a year's taxes and took them away, leaving an empty Xuzhou for Tao Qian. Liu Feng still respected Tao Qian. Although the old man was stupid, bad, belligerent, and very ambitious, his talents could not keep up with his ambition.
But there is only one thing, the successor he chose is my father!
For this reason, Tao Qian's reputation in history will definitely not be different in the future, and will only be better than in the original time and space.
Liu Feng knew very well that both of them belonged to Pixiu. Zuo Rong also believed in Buddhism and would spend a lot of money on Buddhist services, but Xue Li could only get in and out. A piggy bank.
In the original time and space, Sun Ce made a lot of money from these two people.
But now, these are all Liu Feng.
After making up his mind, Liu Feng walked out of the military formation very politely and caught Xue Li.
From the appearance point of view, Xue Li looks really good, he is energetic, he has the feeling of being a later generation immortal, and he is a typical scholar-bureaucrat.
Just looking at his appearance, one would never guess that this person is both wasteful and greedy.
"Your Majesty pays homage to General Zhengnan."
When he approached Liu Feng, Xue Li immediately saluted and paid homage, acting like a celebrity.
Liu Feng didn't care much and immediately stepped forward to help him up.
"Mr. Xue also served as an official in Xuzhou. Now Pengcheng is full of waste. My father often said that Pengcheng was so prosperous in the past under Mr. Xue's governance."
Liu Feng spoke. It's all about flattering each other. When he thinks of Xue Li and Zuo Rong's hundreds of millions of goods and millions of stones of food, Liu Feng really doesn't shiver at all.
Xue Li never expected that Liu Feng would be so easy to talk to, and his attitude would be so friendly, which almost stopped him from saying anything else.
“I dare not think that Zhengnan is so flattering.”
Hao Xuan still remembered his purpose and immediately invited: “Li has prepared a banquet in the city, and I would like to ask Zhengnan to condescend to attend the banquet. ”
Liu Feng could not refuse, so he readily agreed.
Of course, when he went to the banquet and returned to the banquet, he took five hundred armored soldiers with him, and Xu Chu and Zhao Fan guarded him on the left and right, which really scared Xue Li.
There's nothing we can do about it. That beast like Zuo Rong likes to invite people to a banquet and then do something at the banquet.
In the original time and space, in just three years, he killed a two thousand stone prefect in one year, and Xue Li was the second one.
Although Xue Li has never done such a thing, he has been hanging out with Zuo Rong for so long. Who knows if he has no chance to do it, or he has done something similar, but the status of the person is too low. Are you not worthy of leaving your name in history?
At the end of the banquet, Liu Feng threw out the bait: "Mr. When I come to Jiangdong, I will definitely destroy Sun Ce, and Yuzhang and Kuaiji will also be brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court... Mr. Xue can do his part in the future."
Xue Li at this time. There are five fans who have been attracted by Liu Feng's bait.
From Xue Li's point of view, what Liu Feng said is absolutely correct. He was originally the Prime Minister of Pengcheng with two thousand shi. He had money, food, men and soldiers under his command, and he also occupied Moling. How could he be the number one in Jiangdong? figure.
Liu Feng wanted to wipe out Jiangdong and deigned to win over him. It was completely reasonable and reasonable.
Especially when Liu Feng asked him to contribute in the future, Xue Li's eyes were so bright that they could shine.
What this implies is very clear to an official like Xue Li.
Liu Zhengnan is still grand.
Liu Yao was extremely stingy. In the past two years, he had provided him with more than 10 million yuan in goods and hundreds of thousands of shi of food.
But he was not even willing to give it to the Moling County Magistrate. He was really stingy in the extreme.
Had it not been for the threats from Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, he would not have been so angry.
Xue Li secretly made up his mind and suddenly stood up and said to Liu Feng: "Young Master Zhengnan, I will go and change my clothes."
Liu Feng was startled and looked at the windy and sunny weather outside. Li, Xue Li smiled flatteringly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Xue can do as he pleases."
Xue Li nodded, turned and walked towards the back hall.
As soon as he came out of the hall, he called his confidants to follow Xue Yong: "Immediately double the gift list... no, triple it!"
Xue Yong's face changed, but he knew The gift list is so heavy that it needs to be doubled again. Is the owner of the family crazy?
Xue Li saw that Xue Yong's expression was wrong and scolded: "Do as I say, I will need it soon."
It turned out that Xue Li had already given Liu Fengbei a gift, and it was quite heavy.
Among them, the goods alone include tens of millions of dollars, 30,000 shi of food, and a number of other military supplies, with a total value of tens of millions of dollars.
This is not only a gift from Xue Li to show his goodwill, but also life-saving money in disguise.
It was the same with him and Liu Yao before, but now they just have a different person to collect the money.
Just thinking of that number made Xue Li feel more and more heartache.
But as long as he recalled what Liu Feng said just now, Xue Li strengthened his determination.
Liu Feng looked around in the hall. Xue Li and Zuo Rong's banquet was so awkward. As long as the host could not be seen, he was afraid that a row of swordsmen would appear on both sides.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Xue Li to come out of the back hall and resume the banquet with a wide smile.
After drinking for three more rounds, Xue Li suddenly said: "Conquering the south and pacifying Jiangdong will cost a lot of money, the etiquette skills are scanty, and the morals are meager. It will not be of much help to the south. But since etiquette Being in Jiangdong, I naturally have to contribute to Zhengnan."
After that, Xue Li clapped his hands: "Come here."
Xue Yong walked in at this time carrying a plate. The plate was covered with a piece of red silk, and in the center of the red silk was a silk book.
Xue Yong walked to Liu Feng, knelt down and placed the red plate in front of Liu Feng.
Liu Feng was surprised and took out the silk book from the red silk, opened it and started reading.
This piece of red silk records Xue Li’s gift.
A total of 600 catties of gold, 600 catties of silver, 9 million taels of five baht coins, 2,500 pieces of silk of various colors, 2,000 young men, and 100,000 shi of grain.
After Liu Feng read the gift list, he knew that Xue Li was bleeding heavily, and he probably spent his old capital.
This is a good thing. It proves that the bait I just laid was successful.
“Mr. When Xue Li heard this, he burst out laughing.
This Liu Feng sounds like he has quite a reputation, but after all he is still just a young man with a shallow eye, and just such a small thing has already put him at a disadvantage.
Xue Li couldn't remember the pain he felt when he cut the flesh just now. Instead, he said with a magnanimous face: "I was ordered by the emperor and the general to conquer the south and conquer Jiangdong in order to stabilize the place. To bring peace to the people. If my uncle can help a little, it will be enough."
After giving the money, Xue Li obviously felt that his status was different, and he even dared to call himself uncle.
However, Xue Li still felt a little guilty at this time. The tens of thousands of troops brought by Liu Feng were stationed outside Moling City.
Therefore, while he was talking, he was also paying attention to Liu Feng's expression, fearing that the other party would show signs of turning against him.
Fortunately, Liu Feng's mind was all on the gift list, and he called him a good guy in his heart.
The value of this gift is more than 100 million. No wonder people say that Xuzhou is extremely rich, especially Pengcheng State, which is an anointed place.
You can see it from Xue Li.
The vote he got from Pengcheng has not been squandered until now, and he easily gave himself a gift list worth more than 100 million.
The reason why Xue Li spent so much money was naturally to relieve Liu Feng's worries.
The four counties in Jiangdong, whether Wu County or Danyang County, are all high-quality counties, especially Wu County. Although it has not yet reached its peak development, it is already the essence of the entire Yangzhou.
Xue Li didn't ask for much, he just wanted to be the prefect of Wu County.
