Chapter 452 The Great Battle of Chibi
Chapter 452: The Battle of Red Cliff (first update)
The big ship Liu Feng was riding gradually approaching the ferry. Liu Feng looked up and saw that there were many soldiers at the ferry and were on high alert.
Xu Shu led generals such as Wen Pin, Li Yan, Wei Yan, Shamoke to welcome Liu Feng.
When the big ship docked, Liu Feng was the first to walk down.
"I've seen the lord." The generals led by Xu Shu all bowed to Liu Fengyi.
"Everyone, get up." Liu Feng smiled and raised his hand, helped him with a helping hand, and the generals also stood up.
Liu Feng turned his attention to the generals, first Xu Shu, then Li Yan, Wei Yan, and Shamoke. *** were necessary to camp heavy troops.
After these generals came to the ***, Liu Feng rarely saw them. The powerful generals and wise generals such as Li Yan and Wei Yan became numbers in Liu Feng's mind.
Liu Feng wanted to take this opportunity to take a look at these generals again.
After sweeping over the generals, Liu Feng turned his attention to Wen Pin. He was strong, had a strong face, and a cold expression. He would praise anyone who saw him, and he would be a fierce general.
However, Liu Feng knew that this powerful general was actually a handsome man. When the Wei Dynasty was in charge of Jiangxia for decades, Sun Quan did not dare to enter Jiangxia.
"I haven't seen each other for several years, and the general's style remains the same." Liu Feng nodded at Wen Pin and said with a smile.
Two years ago, Liu Feng had just killed Huang Zu and occupied Jiangxia. Wenpin was ordered to lead a large army. If it weren't for Cai Mao's relationship, what the situation today would be unknown.
In a blink of an eye, it has been two years, but Wen Pin is now his subordinate.
"I have offended many times in the past, so I hope my lord will forgive me." Wen Pin bowed and clasped his fists, but his expression was neither humble nor silence, and he felt a sense of arrogance.
Wenpeng did not surrender for Liu Feng, but only because of Cai Mao's letter to go south.
Although I am joining you today, my sense of belonging still needs to be cultivated.
Liu Feng didn't care about Wen Pin's attitude. He smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry about the past."
As he said that, Liu Feng raised his fist solemnly and said, "It's just that the safety of today's *** is the general. Please worry more."
"Don't worry, lord, the last general will definitely assist General Xu to consolidate ***." Wen Pin made a promise.
Liu Feng is not the kind of person who pretends to pretend and shows his affinity to win over his heart. Wen Pin is also a calm and arrogant person.
The conversation between the two seemed plain and plain. But the problem is not here, the problem is Wenpin's attitude.
After the two met, these words were considered to have established a relationship between the king and the minister.
"It's very windy by the river, lord should go to the *** city first." Xu Shu interrupted next to him.
"Yes." Liu Feng nodded to Xu Shu, then turned to Kou Shui and said, "I ordered Chen Da to personally lead 500 soldiers from the army camp to escort the two wives and Mr. Mi's family to Xiling to settle in Xiling."
What Gan needs now is to go back to Xiling, gather with her wives, and see her grandson. A new environment and a new home.
I'm afraid the Gan family has been waiting for it for a long time. So after Liu Feng considered it, he decided to send Gan family back to Xiling first.
Some people spend time with Gan, and don’t rush for a while.
"No." Kou Shui walked down.
Immediately, Liu Feng and the generals rode on war horses and took a large group of people to ***.
On the way, Liu Feng also saw a large camp, a huge camp.
*** Ben has 25,000 people including Xu Shu, and now there is another 20,000 people recruited, with an army of 45,000 people. With so many people, the scale and momentum are of course extraordinary.
However, Liu Feng did not go inside and take a look, but just passed by.
Not long after, Liu Feng and the generals came to Xu Shu's mansion in the city of ***. He first talked to the generals for a while and encouraged the generals.
Afterwards, Liu Feng and Xu Shu came to the study.
After entering the study, Xu Shu's expression became extremely serious. He raised his fist and asked, "Lord, why don't you save Liu Bei?"
Liu Feng smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Sir, don't worry, I have my own plans."
Few people know Liu Feng’s plan, and Xu Shu was outside, and he didn’t have the chance to understand it. Now it’s Red Cliff. It’s time to talk to this important minister.
"I'm so careful." Xu Shu sat upright, his expression very serious.
Liu Feng smiled bitterly, "This gentleman, the former teacher and student, today's monarch and minister, has changed his position. Xu Shu is a rigorous person and will not become arrogant because of his identity."
When talking about serious business, they always look like this and have an attitude.
Liu Feng had no choice but to sigh, "I am alone." He really experienced why kings and princes in the past were called lonely and widowed.
"Sir, Cao Cao went south this time to defeat me. In fact, Liu Bei and Sun Quan were also within his calculations. There was no reason for us to be spared. Logically, this time should be when we die and fight against Cao together. However, Liu Bei was weak and he only wanted to test my strength to resist Cao Cao. It would be fine if he had no sincerity, but he had no value to use. In addition, Sun Quan was even more unreliable. He wanted me to fight to the death with Cao Cao. These two people were not good things. They all wanted to use me." Liu Feng sneered and looked at Xu Shu.
Facing Liu Feng's gaze, Xu Shu nodded. But then, he said, "However, it is still of some use. Liu Bei is not strong enough, but at least he can shake the flag and shout and strengthen his momentum."
"Mr. My husband's idea is actually correct. Liu Bei has 20,000 soldiers, and his combat power is not evaluated. However, the number of people is there. Sun Quan's side has been developed by the second generation of father and brother, and the people's hearts are stable. Although they are both bad-minded, if they can win over, there will be many benefits." As he said, Liu Feng shook his head and said coldly: "They just want to use me, so I don't plan to win over them. According to the news that the spy came, Sun Quan has currently stationed 40,000 to 50,000 troops in Yuzhang. I guess he may think that I will save Liu Bei and join Liu Bei. Together, we have the strength to fight to the death with Cao Cao."
This time, Xu Shu pondered for a moment before nodding slowly.
"It's more difficult to win over Sun Quan."
"So, just drag him into the water. I will never save that guy Liu Bei. Don't care whether he fights Cao Cao or surrenders Cao Cao. I don't care about him. What will happen to Sun Quan then?" Liu Feng looked at Xu Shu and said with a smile.
"If the guess is not accurate and the plan changes, Sun Quan will become anxious." Xu Shu's eyes had some clarity.
"He will definitely send envoys to come over and find out what I said. Maybe he can see Lu Zijing again." Liu Feng smiled and continued, "When the time comes, I will tell him directly, either Sun Quan will join the war and work with me and Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao. I will station me in *** and Xiakou. They will station me in Chibi. Or just sit and watch Liu Bei's demise, and then wait for Cao Cao to go south. If I don't resist, I will send troops to Yuzhang and burn them all."
This is Liu Feng’s plan.
If Cao Cao had the navy to go south, there were only three places to cross.***, Xiakou, and Chibi.
Among them, the chance of Chibi is higher, because the water on Chibi is deeper. However, the chance of the other two places is also not small.
Liu Feng had a camp in Ganning in Xiakou, and the entire Jiangxia was Liu Feng's nest. In addition, Xu Shu also led 45,000 heavy troops to garrison.
But only Chibi has no one. There are no soldiers and warships.
This is the place where Liu Feng vacated for Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and the others in the morning.
The Battle of Red Cliffs, before the war broke out, no one knew whether the decisive battle would be held in Chibi. I believe that Liu Bei, who was desperate and Zhou Yu, who had no choice, would choose to guard Chibi.
At that time, Liu Feng will just watch it on the wall.
If Zhou Yu, Liu Bei and others were dissatisfied after the war broke out, Liu Feng would send troops to cut off Zhou Yu and others' food, destroy Zhou Yu and Liu Bei, and then fight with Cao Cao.
In history, the Sun-Liu coalition army had only 50,000, and Liu Feng didn't believe that he had an army of 100,000 but could not stop it.
"Lord, what if Sun Quan was not afraid of threats and refused to send troops?" Liu Feng's plan looked pretty good, but Xu Shu still saw some unreliable points from it and asked.
"If he doesn't send troops, I will really send troops to Yuzhang, and both Jiangdong jade will be burned. Lao Cao will not let Sun Quan pick up the bargain next to him." Liu Feng's eyes were steady, without any hesitation, and he said loudly.
Liu Feng knew clearly that Jiangxia was the first to be the one who went south to Jiangxia. If Sun Quan did not choose to send troops to guard the Red Cliff, then he would be the only one who fought with Cao Cao to lose both ways. At that time, Sun Quan would really be fighting against the snipe and the clam to the fisherman gained the profit.
This result is not what Liu Feng needs.
Xu Shu was silent, just as Liu Feng said, knowing that a battle with Cao Cao would be both defeated and unable to recover. And there was a Sun Quan staring next to him, and the fool would go up and fight to the death.
These are the two paths that Liu Feng gave to Sun Quan, either uniting to fight against Cao or both jade and stones were burned.
Xu Shu was a little relieved about Liu Feng's attitude. Liu Feng had gradually gained the spirit of emperor, with decisiveness and courage.
Although doing so will become very dangerous. But if you succeed, the benefits will be huge.
You can get rid of the embarrassment of resisting Cao Cao independently.
It’s just that the risk is really great. Some concerns appeared on Xu Shu’s face.
Seeing Xu Shu's expression, Liu Feng knew what Xu Shu was thinking. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Sir, it's not necessarily a matter of burning both jade and stone."
"If I send troops to Yuzhang, the result will be Cao Cao who won the world with great victory. Sun Quan was defeated and killed. I will be a remote prince."
"What do you mean?" Xu Shu said inexplicably.
"I discovered that there is a large island to the east of the sea. There is a county where I have ordered hundreds of thousands of Yijitun residents. Even if I fail, I can still raft the sea and go to the island to live." Liu Feng said with a smile.
"What's more, will I fail? I never thought about it. I knew Sun Quan's temperament. I could afford to block it, but he couldn't."
Xu Shu was both surprised by what Liu Feng said about the island, and also agreed to Liu Feng's guess.
Sun Quan, who has the foundation of his father and brother, lacks not talent, but courage. Without the courage to return, he cannot afford to lose.
And Liu Feng, Sun Ce and others started from scratch, could afford to lose, and dared to gamble.
