Chapter 366 Benchu Court Discussion
"Good!"
After Liu Feng praised him, he immediately ordered: "In that case, Wen Gui should prepare to take over the defense immediately. Shanyin's defense will be I’ll give it all to you.”
Pan Zhang responded and immediately stood up and left.
After Pan Zhang left, Liu Feng turned to Fan Neng and Yu Mi said: "Two generals, there are many prisoners in Shanyin City now, and there are more than 30,000 young and strong laborers alone. The remaining more than 10,000 people are all men. If they continue to be detained in Shanyin City, the food pressure will undoubtedly be great. I intend to entrust the two generals to send these prisoners to Shouchun City in Jiangbei, where my father is. Can you, general, take care of me? ”
Fan Neng and Yu Mi were both overjoyed. This was the safest and most secure achievement. ,
Now that Sun Ce has been defeated and Kuaiji has been settled, there is almost no danger at all on the way back through Wu County and the north of Danyang County. It only takes a little effort to complete the task properly.
Compared with the low difficulty of the task, the achievements are real. More than 50,000 prisoners were escorted from Kuaiji to Jiujiang. This achievement is visible and tangible.
Both of them never expected that such an easy but significant achievement would actually fall on their heads. After all, neither Fan Neng nor Yu Mi were Liu Feng's trusted generals.
“The two generals joined the army in this battle. Even though they have no merit, they still have hard work. I see these things in my eyes and keep them in my heart.”
Seemingly sensing the doubts in the minds of Fan Neng and Yu Mi, Liu Feng spoke to comfort him at this moment: "This contribution can be regarded as a token of my appreciation, but the two generals must not be careless. The heroes of Kuaiji He is a traitor, committed by the imperial court, and his crime is unforgivable. The barbarian chiefs in Shanyue have always been light-hearted and brave. Although there are no external troubles along the way, there are internal worries. "
Fan Neng and Yu Mi looked at each other and hurried together. He bowed down and said, "Zhengnan treats us with sincerity, and we are very grateful. We must be sincere and practical, and we will never let Zhengnan down."
Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction: "You two General, you can prepare yourself and set off on another day. I have written a letter to report to my father. You have also been staying in Niuzhu for a long time, so you have no doubts about going north."
"I will wait for you. Thank you Zhengnan!"
Fan Neng and Yu Mi were so grateful that they resigned and left without saying anything.
Looking at Fan Neng and Yu Mi's leaving figures, Liu Feng also showed a satisfied smile.
Now that the overall situation in Jiangdong has been decided, Fan Neng, Yu Mi, and Zhang Ying are Liu Yao's old subordinates, and they come from powerful families in Danyang and Wu counties. Naturally, Liu Feng cannot continue to stay in Jiangdong.
Zhang Ying has just assumed the post of governor of Danyang, so he cannot be touched for the time being. Besides, the southern part of Danyang County is mountainous and requires an experienced local general to take charge of Wanling. Although Zhang Ying is not the best choice , but it is definitely the best choice.
Since Zhang Ying cannot move, Fan Neng and Yu Mi must not stay in Jiangdong.
Just mobilizing them directly to Jiangbei would seem quite deliberate, and it might also cause panic and dissatisfaction among Fan Neng and Yu Mi.
Comparing one's feelings with others, Liu Feng himself would definitely doubt whether he would be burned by others.
Therefore, Liu Feng specially kept this good job and promised it to Fan Neng and Yu Mi, allowing them to put their work into practice. In this way, Fan Neng and Yu Mi would not only not be suspicious, I will also shed tears of gratitude to Liu Bei and his son.
When they arrived at Liu Bei's place in Shouchun, Jiangbei, with Liu Bei's skill and ability, it was natural for them to keep Fan Neng and Yu Mi, and they could stay happily.
********
In the Mingguang Hall of the Prefectural Government in Yecheng, Hebei Province.
Yuan Shao was in the chief position and looked very happy: "Gentlemen, Mr. Xuande has given birth to a good son."
Yuan Shao's words attracted the attention of everyone in the hall and focused on him. .
For this situation, Yuan Shao looked indifferent, but he was very happy in his heart.
Due to his childhood experiences, Yuan Shao desperately wanted to get the attention of others, especially to be the center of attention.
It was like this when I was young, and it was like this when I was young. It is still like this now that the tiger is in Hebei, and the official worships the super-level Sima. After becoming successful and famous, it is still like this.
"Liu Bei's son?"
Guo Tu blinked: "Could it be that Liu Zisheng?"
Yuan Shao smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is Liu Zisheng. Sun Wentai is also a tiger general. The descendant Bo Fu followed his father Lie and swept across Wu County in half a year. Liu Yao was beaten to the point where he was in a state of panic all day long. "My brother is an ignorant man, ignorant and incompetent. Although Sun Wentai is brave as a tiger and a wolf, he does not know the right way and helps the tyrants to do evil. The same is true for his son."
"Although Sun's father and son failed to do well, The outcome also boosted my brother’s reputation.”
When he mentioned the word prestige, the corners of Yuan Shao's mouth raised slightly, with obvious contempt and sarcasm.
“But I didn’t expect that now I would be defeated by Xuande in a battle. Liu Zisheng was captured in a night attack. He is really incompetent.”
As Yuan Shao spoke, his gloating mood reached its peak. , and laughed even more.
After laughing, maybe he was worried about his own image, so he quickly added: "Liu Zi has become a young hero, and Mr. Xuande has a son. I am also happy for him."
In the hall. Everyone, including Jushou, Cui Yan, Xun Chen, Xin Pi, Guo Tu and others, had long seen through Yuan Shao's showy mood, and they just pretended not to know and catered to him.
Only Tian Feng stood up and raised his hands to Yuan Shao and said: "Da Sima, although General Zuo has repeatedly acted rebelliously and greatly lost the hearts of the world, he is still the legitimate son of the Yuan family and your biological brother. Now General Zuo has been arrested for his crimes. , Great Sima is fair to the country, and there is nothing wrong with not showing favoritism, but you must not talk about it, otherwise you may lose hope."
When Tian Feng said this, he was right. , but Yuan Shao's good mood was completely extinguished by him. Especially the words "Yuan's direct son" made Yuan Shao's face rise with a layer of gloom.
If Tian Feng was not very famous in Hebei and was his confidant, Yuan Shao would really want to grab him by the collar and burst into anger.
I am the legitimate son of the Yuan family!
I am the pillar of the Yuan family!
Xun Chen and Xin Pi looked at Tian Feng as if they were looking at a dead person. How could Tian Yuanhao, a wise man, be so stupid in terms of human relations?
Earlier, they all felt that Tian Feng was a disguised image and deliberately invited people by their first names.
It doesn’t matter that the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty don’t know the word “personality”, but their concave personality can be said to be crazy and inhumane.
It’s just a first name, it really doesn’t mean anything.
But after having more contact with Tian Feng, they couldn't help but start to doubt themselves.
This is not because they are kind, but because Tian Feng's behavior in front of Yuan Shao is really confusing.
Tian Feng simply poked at Yuan Shao's weak spots wherever they were.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao was still very clear-headed. Before Gongsun Zan's death, he knew very well that he could not do without Tian Feng and Ju Shuo, powerful scholars in Hebei.
If they can support themselves today, they can support Gongsun Zan tomorrow.
What’s even more frightening is that this is not Yuan Shao’s conjecture, but an undeniable fact that has happened.
When Yuan Shao first entered Jizhou, there were many more powerful nobles in Jizhou who supported Gongsun Zan than those who supported him.
"What Yuan Hao said is true. I lost my composure."
Yuan Shao immediately turned from anger to joy. The gloom on his face was wiped away. He straightened up and saluted Tian Feng to apologize.
Tian Feng then got out of the way and said humbly: "How dare you, my minister, to be treated as a gift from the Grand Sima."
Yuan Shao, who secretly gritted his teeth in his heart but had a look of joy on his face, immediately changed the subject. "Gentlemen, Liu Zisheng went to Shouchun in a battle, captured the highway alive, and sent a message to the north of the Yangtze River. All counties asked to surrender."
A cautious look appeared on Yuan Shao's face: "Now Jianghuai is in Liu Bei's hands, but he has not suffered any damage."
Yuan Shao only said half of what he said, but not the whole sentence. Naturally, everyone present could not hear the meaning.
Obviously, Da Sima felt that Liu Bei had expanded his territory too quickly and gained the Jianghuai land too easily.
In fact, it is not only Yuan Shao who thinks so, but also everyone present who does not think so.
When Yuan Shao passed the information to them, everyone remembered their first reaction.
That’s just unbelievable.
How did Liu Bei get such good luck to give birth to such a dragon son?
Everyone no longer doubted Liu Feng's talent at this time. Even if they still suspected that Liu Feng was a sign that was promoted on the surface, they still thought that this boy was quite talented.
After all, many people can't help him, let alone that so far, they have not been able to find the person behind Liu Feng.
Everyone has begun to have some doubts about whether the person behind this exists.
If it really does not exist, then Liu Feng...
Hiss...
Xun Chen and Cui Yan gasped when they thought of this.
Xin Pi next to Xun Chen glanced at him with a smile. The Xin family is also a first-class family in Yingchuan, although its reputation has not been very prosperous in recent years and has been overshadowed by the four major families.
But in terms of foundation, the Xin family is very strong and cannot be compared to the rising star Chen family.
Compared with the Xun family, it pales in comparison. Not only is the family firmly suppressed by the other party, but also the brothers Xin Pi and Xin Ping are always suppressed by Xun Chen and Xun Yue. Dead, not to mention the talented uncles Xun Yu and Xun You.
Seeing that Xun Chen was losing his composure, Xin Pi immediately felt proud and elated, feeling that he had finally defeated Liu Feng.
This perfectly proves that my vision is far better than Xun Chen.
"Grand Sima, Xuande Gong now has strong troops and horses, and he is sitting in the sacred land of the three states. If he does not take action early, he may cause trouble in the future."
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to the person who spoke. The person who spoke was none other than Shen Ping, a wealthy local nobleman.
The judge had a stern look on his face, and his stern face was full of solemnity: "Xuan Degong has helped the general many times now. There is more cooperation between the two sides, and we have to guard against it."
After the judge finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.
It’s not that what Shen Pei said is right, and everyone else has no objections. Nowadays, the party struggle in Hebei is becoming more and more fierce. If you oppose it, it doesn’t matter whether what you say is right or not.
The reason why it was so quiet was entirely because Shen Pei said something that was difficult for everyone to say.
Therefore, everyone is waiting for Yuan Shao's reaction, and no one wants to speak against Yuan Shao for a moment.
Hearing this, Yuan Shao was silent for a moment. After scanning the crowd, he asked in a deep voice: "What do you gentlemen think of Zhengnan's words?"
Everyone wanted to see Yuan Shao's words. reaction, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shao also wanted to see their reaction.
For a moment, the hall fell into silence again, with only light flickers and peripheral vision flying around, everyone was quietly observing the reactions of others.
Now the situation in the world has become increasingly clear.
Yuan Shao has taken over Hebei, but Gongsun Zan is not without the ability to fight back. In the second half of last year, he defeated Yuan Shao again, giving Yuan Shao a headache.
At the beginning of the year, Yuan Shao sent people to Yixian to ask for a meeting with Gongsun Zan. He wanted to make peace and promised the other party the land of Yixian, but Gongsun Zan refused.
Yuan Shao hated Gongsun Zan so much at this time. You must know that Gongsun Zan had given up fighting for the world and only wanted to retire in Yi County, but Gongsun Zan still refused to give up and cause trouble for Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao also tried to let go of Gongsun Zan. Didn’t you say that he would take care of himself in old age?
Well, I won’t hit you anymore, and you can take good care of yourself in your old age.
As a result, Yuan Shao just mobilized troops to attack the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan, and Gongsun Zan immediately came out with 20,000 infantry and cavalry to cause trouble for Yuan Shao, causing Yuan Shao to fail again.
Yuan Shao was almost driven crazy by Gongsun Zan.
Cao Cao's current development has also been finalized. Although he has the emperor, he may not be any more comfortable than Yuan Shao.
The terrain of Yanzhou is long and narrow, located along the Yellow River, and its depth is extremely shallow. Yuan Shao is across the river to the north, but Liu Bei belongs to the south. It can be said that it is attacked from both sides and has no heart.
Although the newly purchased Sanhe Land is better and has some potential to win, it has been repeatedly attacked by wars, the people have been displaced, and there is almost no population available. Cao Cao spent two years migrating the population and cultivating the fields. , only to gain some popularity.
Liu Bei was located in the southeast, and Xuzhou was dilapidated and dilapidated. There was no hope of winning the throne.
But now it has occupied major counties such as Runan and Peiguo in Yuzhou. This time it has successfully captured the two counties in Jiangbei, and its strength has at least more than doubled.
If Liu Bei and Cao Cao really join forces, even if Yuan Shao unifies Hebei, he may not be able to cross Henan easily.
Xinpi coughed suddenly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
“Da Sima, I have two strategies, one is close and the other is far, they complement each other and benefit each other.”
Yuan Shao raised his brows and said in surprise: "Zhao Zhi is really a great talent. There are two strategies available in an instant. Please tell me quickly!"
Xin Pi immediately said: "In the current situation, Cao Liu If they join forces, if Da Sima wants to go south to the capital in the future to assist the emperor, he may be rejected by others. Therefore, in order to see each other, Da Sima should show his favor to Xuande Gong in order to divide Cao and Liu's power and increase their mutual suspicion. "< br>
As soon as Xin Pi finished speaking, Cui Yan suddenly spoke: "Mr. George's plan is brilliant!"
Xin Pi's eyes fell on Cui Yan, but he didn't look at Cui Yan. Now he was praising himself, but Xinpi was sure that the opponent's killer was behind him.
As expected, Cui Yan followed closely but pretended to be confused and asked for advice: "I just have something unclear. I hope Mr. George can clarify Yan's confusion."
Xin Bixin called over, but he asked with a calm expression on his face: "I wonder what's wrong with Ji Gui?"
