Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 164: Sun Quan is a trap, Liu Feng withdraws his troops (6k)

The arrival of Liu Feng's reinforcements also surprised Sun Quan.

Like Cao Pi, Sun Quan did not believe that Liu Feng would be so kind as to come to reinforce Ruxukou.

Especially when he learned that Liu Feng stopped and walked along the way, promoting Sun Lu's reputation for filial piety and Liu Bei's benevolence, Sun Quan's doubts grew even more.

If you want reinforcements, just send them. Why do you have to use the name of Sun Lu?
"Weeping blood for three days to ask for troops" is just a statement that can only fool corrupt scholars. Sun Quan didn't believe a word of it!
Having raised his son for more than nine years, how could Sun Quan not know what kind of personality, temperament, talents and insights the son has?

not to mention.

Sun Quan was only temporarily at a disadvantage, and it wasn't to the point where he had to ask for help.

With strategic cities, river barriers, and naval warships, there would be a chance to counterattack Cao Pi as long as we could wait until the flood season.

Sun Quan even suspected that Liu Feng deliberately chose this time to send reinforcements.

It just happened that Cao Pi was stuck at the point where he had a slight advantage but couldn't defeat Sun Quan quickly!
in this way.

Even though Sun Quan eventually defeated Cao Pi without relying on Liu Feng's military force, Liu Feng still deserves some credit: Liu Feng's reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of Jiangdong, and they turned defeat into victory by relying on the right time and place. Everyone in Jiangdong praised Liu Feng's virtue of not holding grudges.

When he thought of this possibility, Sun Quan felt like there was something stuck in his throat that he could neither swallow nor spit out.

"Supreme Lord, Master Lu is back."

The attendant Gu Li came forward to report.

Sun Quan was slightly surprised: "Liu Feng released my son? How is this possible!"

Sun Lu was not only a hostage, but also the banner that Liu Feng was currently using to the outside world. Sun Quan felt confused and wary of Liu Feng's intention of releasing Sun Lu.

When something is out of the ordinary, there must be a conspiracy.

Sun Quan was a suspicious person by nature, so he would not easily believe what he saw and heard.

"Call Zhonglang to see me."

Sun Quan frowned and asked Gu Li to summon Sun Lu.

Not long after.

Sun Lu and a big man in Wei-style clothing who was tied up tightly entered.

When he saw Sun Quan, Sun Lu bowed and said, "I am honored to meet you, father!"

Sun Quan frowned again.

[Strange! Zhonglang went to Jingzhou, how come he became more vigorous and energetic? ]

Normally.

The protons couldn't eat or sleep well, and they lived in fear all day long for fear of being implicated and punished. They felt like their days were long and their spirits were depressed. They would become skinny after just a few months.

Let’s look at Sun Lu.

He was wearing a Shu brocade dress, tiger-skin shoes, and a belt with a lion pattern. He had a ruddy complexion, delicate features, a tall figure, and even his hairstyle was carefully groomed.

"Zhonglang, you have suffered in Jingzhou." Although he had doubts in his heart, Sun Quan did not show them, but expressed his concern.

When Sun Lu heard this, he immediately became excited: "Father, I am not suffering in Jingzhou."

The words "not bitter" made Sun Quan's eyelids twitch.

Sun Lu thought that Sun Quan did not believe him, so he ate well, drank well, dressed well and lived well in Jingzhou, and also studied and practiced martial arts with Liu Lin and others, and accepted guidance from the old general Zhao Yun when he came here, etc.

Pick out the ones that impressed you the most and tell Sun Quan in detail.

At the end, he added, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan treats me equally and has great respect for my grandfather. I hope that I can fight for the Han Dynasty like my grandfather did."

Hear the end.

Sun Quan only felt a surge of blood!

His mother is also!

How can this be called being a proton!

It’s not an exaggeration to say that he went to Jingzhou and became a prince!

Liu Feng is such a thief, his intentions are so sinister, my Zhonglang!

Nothing would be more heartbreaking for Sun Quan than seeing his own son praising Liu Feng in front of him!

Who is your father after all?
What made Sun Quan most depressed and upset was that he could only listen!

With Sun Quan's scheming, it goes without saying that speaking ill of Liu Feng at this time would make Sun Lu feel that Sun Quan's mind was too narrow.

Look what Sun Quan did?
Betraying the alliance three times!

Look what Liu Feng did?
Save Sun Quan!
This is called repaying evil with kindness!
And Liu Feng's words, "If you want to stay in Jiangdong, stay in Jiangdong. If you want to come to Jingzhou, send someone to tell me and I will come to pick you up in person", made Sun Lu more certain that Liu Feng was a rare and magnanimous person in the world!
With Liu Feng as a comparison, Sun Lu also hoped that Sun Quan would have such magnanimity!

A father always wants his son to be successful.

As a son, he also hopes that his father is a dragon instead of a worm.

Sun Quan, who didn't want to continue listening to Sun Lu's praise of Liu Feng, turned his gaze to the tied-up man in Wei-style clothing: "Zhonglang, who is this?"

Sun Lu's smile froze, and then he said angrily: "This man is a death warrior sent by Cao Pi to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, who is bent on alienating His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and my father!

His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan saw through Cao Pi's sinister intentions and handed this man over to me. I will be in charge of all the interrogations! Here are the letters that were found!"

As Sun Lu handed the letter to Sun Quan, he continued to complain: "I have interrogated him for a long time, but he just won't say a word. He has the guts to sow discord but not the guts to admit it. How despicable!"

Sun Quan was even more shocked.

After glancing at the contents of the letter, Sun Quan's face turned gloomy. "Cao Pi, you bastard, actually wanted to sow discord with his dead soldiers. You underestimated me! Come, take this man away and interrogate him strictly!"

See this.

Sun Liu praised: "Father is wise! How can we let Cao Pi, the scoundrel, get what he wants!"

Sun Quan said again: "Zhonglang, you must be tired after traveling so far. Go and rest first. I will discuss with Liu Feng and will not let you be a hostage again."

The voice just fell.

Sun Lu said seriously, "Father, although there are no outsiders here, you should not address His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan by name.

Father didn't need to discuss this with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. When I came here, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan said, 'If I want to stay in Jiangdong, I can stay in Jiangdong. If I want to go to Jingzhou, send someone to tell him, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan will come to pick me up in person.'"

Sun Quan almost vomited blood!

His mother is also!

You are my son, not Liu Feng’s son!

After letting Gu Li take Sun Lu away and settle him, Sun Quan was in a daze for a long time before he calmed down and sighed: "Forget it! Forget it! Liu Feng is always treacherous. From now on, I will not let Zhonglang have any contact with Liu Feng!"

Two days later.

Sun Quan invited Liu Feng to meet him.

Land on the south bank of Ruxukou.

The troops of both sides stopped a hundred paces apart, a banquet was held in the middle, and all the officers attended the banquet with single swords.

Liu Feng's party.

Zhao Yun, Yue Ju, Yang Xing, Yan Cheng and He Yuan attended the meeting.

Sun Quan's side.

He was accompanied by Pan Zhang, Quan Cong, Sun Huan, Zhu Ran and Ma Zhong.

All are familiar faces.

Although both sides wanted to kill each other in their hearts, Liu Feng and Sun Quan did not express their opinions, and they could only pretend to be "peaceful".

Sun Quan also called on female musicians and dancers to play music and dance during the banquet, also using vocal music to cover up the sound of his conversation with Liu Feng.

"King Yan, do you have any other purpose in coming here?" After a round of polite greetings, Sun Quan also asked tentatively.

Liu Feng smiled faintly and asked, "Does the King of Wu think that I have other intentions?"

Sun Quan cursed inwardly that he was cunning, then smiled and said, "The King of Yan has misunderstood. I just don't understand why the King of Yan didn't just send troops to attack Shiyang, but instead went all the way to Ruxukou?"

Liu Feng gently shook the wine jar: "Even the King of Wu thinks so, so Cao Pi will not be suspicious. King of Wu, have you ever heard that Han Xin wanted to seize Guanzhong, so he deliberately built a plank road to confuse Zhang Han, but secretly took a detour to attack Chencang?"

Sun Quan was slightly surprised: "Does the King of Yan really intend to go to Shiyang?"

Seeing Sun Quan's expression of genuine or feigned shock, Liu Feng smiled and said, "If I really want Shiyang, will the King of Wu help me?"

Sun Quan was hesitant.

【Liu Feng did not hide anything and said frankly that he wanted to take Shiyang. Could he be trying to trick me? If I learn of this and secretly tell Cao Pi, Liu Feng might use this as an excuse to attack me.】

Think of this.

Sun Quan said with a smile: "The King of Yan is willing to help me to repel Cao Pi's troops, so how can I not help the King of Yan to capture Shiyang? The King of Yan can borrow all the generals under my command, and I will also prepare all the food and grass!"

Liu Feng praised: "The King of Wu is a quick-witted man. If I am polite, it will only ruin his character. When Zhou Yu attacked Jiangling, he also borrowed the general and the lieutenant of the imperial court to defeat Cao Ren. I will not borrow anyone else. I only need the governor of Chaisang, Lu Xun, and the generals Ding Feng and Xu Sheng. They will obey my orders!"

Sun Quan frowned secretly and became suspicious again.

[I asked Boyan to stay in Chaisang in order to defend against Jingzhou. I never thought that Boyan would let Liu Feng go to Jiangdong without asking me for permission. Could it be that Boyan has secretly surrendered to Liu Feng?
No, that's not right. Boyan even married my niece and changed his name to show that he didn't bear grudges. His wife's relatives are all in Wujun, so he shouldn't betray me.

Ding Feng and Xu Sheng have also received my kindness for many years and should not abandon me.

Liu Feng has always been cunning. Could it be that he did this on purpose to destroy the trust of me, Boyan and the other two and create discord between them?

Ah!
It must be so! Damn Liu Feng, how dare he underestimate me like this!

How could I be a suspicious person! 】

Looking at Sun Quan who was thinking with his head down, Liu Feng was not in a hurry.

The truth is the sharpest sword.

For suspicious people, the more truth you tell, the more likely they will become suspicious.

moment.

Sun Quan lied, "Don't blame me, King Yan. I just suddenly remembered something and hesitated for a moment."

"Oh." Liu Feng followed Sun Quan's words and asked, "Can you tell me about it?"

Sun Quan sighed and said, "To be honest with you, King Yan, the current governor of Poyang is Han Zong, the son of Han Dang. I am afraid that if I transfer Boyan and the other two to King Yan, Han Zong will resent me.

If Han Zong leaks the secret, it will not only ruin the King of Yan's plan, but also cause misunderstandings between me and the King of Yan. It is better for me to transfer Han Zong back to Jianye first."

Let’s talk about it.

Sun Quan was unwilling to let Lu Xun and the other two help Liu Feng capture Shiyang.

With Wen Pin and Yu Jin from Shiyang around, they can help Sun Quan share the pressure of Jingzhou.

But if Shiyang is captured by Liu Feng, the threat of Jingzhou to Jiangdong will increase exponentially!
Even if Sun Quan wanted to ask Cao Pi for protection again, Cao Pi would be unable to help.

Without Wen Pin and Yu Jin from Shiyang to attack Xiakou and harass the rear, the navy of Jingzhou can move freely in Jiangdong!
Looking at Sun Quan who was trying to delay time, Liu Feng slowly took out a silk cloth from his arms and handed it to Sun Quan.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Sun Quan was horrified and exclaimed: "This is impossible!"

A cry of surprise disrupted the music. All the generals who were listening to the music and watching the dance turned their eyes to Sun Quan.

There was a "pop" sound.

Sun Quan slapped the table and his breathing became heavy.

Seeing this, Pan Zhang quickly asked the musicians and dancers to leave and approached to ask, "King Wu, what happened?"

Sun Quan threw the silk cloth to Pan Zhang, unable to hide his anger: "See for yourself!"

Pan Zhang took the silk cloth and quickly glanced at the contents. He was also shocked: "Han Zong colluded with the thieves Peng Qi and Dong Si and wanted to offer Poyang? How is this possible!"

Looking at the two characters "Lu Xun" at the end of the letter, Pan Zhang was puzzled again: "How could the message from General Lu be in the hands of the Prince of Yan?"

Liu Feng said calmly, "General Lu's messenger was killed by Han Zong on the way. When my people arrived, the messenger had already died. If General Pan doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Poyang to find out.

The generals advised me to return as soon as possible. What if Han Zong was sent by the King of Wu, and the King of Wu secretly defected to Cao Pi, I would be in danger.

However, I think that the King of Wu should not know about this. Han Zong hated me for killing Han Dang, and secretly colluded with the thieves Peng Qi and Dong Si to rebel. He did this for revenge and for wealth, which should have nothing to do with the King of Wu.

King Wu, is my guess correct?"

While talking.

Zhao Yun, Yue Ju, Yang Xing, Yan Cheng and He Yuan had already put down their weapons and came to Liu Feng's side.

Pan Zhang, Quan Cong, Sun Huan, Zhu Ran, and Ma Zhong also hurriedly came to Sun Quan's side with swords in hand.

The banquet, which was "harmonious" just now, suddenly became tense.

Sun Quan felt cold sweat soaking his shirt.

Although Liu Feng tied up Cao Pi's envoy, it does not mean that Liu Feng cannot continue to "temporarily ally" with Cao Pi. If Sun Quan goes to war with Liu Feng and Cao Pi at the same time, he will have no chance of survival!

"King Yan, this is a misunderstanding! I have no intention of harming you!"

While Sun Quan was scolding Pan Zhang for not retreating, he was explaining to Liu Feng.

"Since Han Zong was appointed governor of Poyang, he has been tyrannical and has brought disaster to the local area. I have not taken it seriously for Han Dang's sake, but Han Zong has not repented and has many complaints against me.

This time, Han Zong colluded with the thief out of evil intention. He wanted to offer Poyang to Cao Pi in exchange for wealth and honor. He also wanted to create a rift between me and the King of Yan. If I don't kill this thief, I will not be able to vent my hatred!

Pan Zhang, listen to my order and lead an army into Poyang immediately. We must capture and kill the evil thief Han Zong!"

Before Pan Zhang could accept the order, Liu Feng waved his hand to stop him: "Cao's thieves are now attacking Ruxukou, we must not be careless.

If the King of Wu divides his troops, I am afraid that Ruxukou will be lost. Han Zong wants to kill me, how can I let him run rampant? I will kill Han Zong for the King of Wu. "

Sun Quan did not want to cause any more trouble, so he said quickly: "I will order Boyan of Chaisang to cooperate with the King of Yan!"

Liu Feng achieved his goal, and Sun Quan lost interest in drinking.

After a while.

Seeing Liu Feng leaving, Sun Quan could no longer hold back his emotions and drew his sword to break the table: "Han Zong is such a bastard, how hateful!"

Sun Quan originally wanted to borrow Liu Feng's military force to fight Cao Pi, but Liu Feng turned around and left as soon as his men arrived.

The reason turned out to be because of the rebellion of Korean variety shows!
This not only undermined Sun Quan's prestige in Jiangdong, but also allowed Liu Feng to take advantage of Jiangdong.

The situation now becomes:

Liu Feng came under the banner of rescuing Sun Quan, but because of Han Zong's rebellion, he "had to" attack Han Zong first. Sun Quan at Ruxukou still had to face the powerful Cao Ren and others alone, and at the same time had to temporarily transfer Lu Xun's three generals to Liu Feng!

If Sun Quan did not want to die, he could only try his best to resist Cao Ren and others, and then wait for Liu Feng to successfully destroy Han Zong and capture Shiyang.

This is not to help Sun Quan!
It is clearly here to increase the difficulty for Sun Quan!

Sun Quan also has to thank Liu Feng!

The wealthy families in Jiangdong will also thank Liu Feng!
Tower ship.

Zhao Yun asked in confusion: "Your Highness, Prince of Yan, aren't you worried that Sun Quan can't stop Cao's troops at Ruxukou?"

Liu Feng chuckled: "I did have this worry at the beginning, but after meeting Sun Quan, I no longer have this worry.

If Sun Quan was really so weak that he couldn't stop Cao's army, he wouldn't have the time to come see me today, let alone play tricks on me.

Don't worry about Ruxukou. Although the Jiangdong generals didn't perform well in Hefei, that was just because they wanted to preserve their strength. But once they find that Ruxukou is about to be lost, they will fight to the death."

There was a pause.

Liu Feng looked towards the direction of Shouchun again, his eyes becoming increasingly stern.

"When Cao Pi heard the news of Han Zong's rebellion and saw that I was in a hurry to return to the army, he would not send troops to support Han Zong, but would also put the remaining troops into the battle of Ruxukou, in order to defeat Sun Quan before I could deal with Han Zong. Take this opportunity to quickly attack Shiyang!"

Zhao Yun said sternly: "Should Lu Xun and the other two from Chaisang also be transferred to Shiyang?"

Liu Feng shook his head: "Although Lu Xun is willing to cooperate, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng will not serve me wholeheartedly. Transferring them to Shiyang will ruin my plan. After arriving in Chaisang, we can exchange warships with Lu Xun and fly each other's flags to confuse the Wei spies."

Zhao Yun understood and said: "It will take time to change boats, so we can send someone to Chaisang to tell Lu Xun first."

Liu Feng nodded, and ordered Yue Ju to lead dozens of warships with Sun Quan's order to enter Chaisang first.

Just as Liu Feng expected.

Even with Sun Quan's order, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng were unwilling to work for Liu Feng.

Lu Xun ordered Ding Feng and Xu Sheng to lead troops to suppress Han Zong's rebellion, and then, according to Liu Feng's instructions, prepared empty ships with Wu army flags in Chaisang in advance.

As soon as Liu Feng arrived, they exchanged warships and flew each other's flags.

After meeting Lu Xun, Liu Feng promised: "Lu Boyan, I will remember your great gift. After I capture Shiyang, as long as Sun Quan does not have evil intentions again, I will not send troops to Jiangdong again."

Until then.

Only then did Lu Xun understand Liu Feng's true intention.

Save Sun Quan?
Maybe there is.

Liu Feng's original purpose was to wait for "God's will", a "God's will" that could take Shi Yang.

However, Shiyang is backed by Yuzhou, so it is easy for Cao Pi to dispatch troops to reinforce.

Therefore, Liu Feng had to find an opportunity to trigger some conflicts so that Cao Pi could not send his troops to Shiyang.

Putting pressure on Lu Xun triggered a conflict in which Lu Xun made Han Zong rebel prematurely for his own benefit.

The troops' entry into Ruxu triggered a conflict in which Cao Pi wanted to unite with Liu Feng to divide Jiangdong.

The meeting with Sun Quan triggered a conflict among the Jiangdong generals, who fought to the death for self-preservation.

and many more.

Everything Liu Feng did, including promoting Sun Lu's reputation, was just to intensify the conflict between Cao Pi and Sun Quan at the Battle of Ruxukou!
The battle was so intense that Sun Quan and other Jiangdong generals had to risk their lives!

The battle was so intense that Cao Pi had to use his remaining troops!
Only when the two of them fight to a stalemate can Liu Feng seize the "God's will" to seize Shi Yang!
"Your Highness Prince Yan's deep concern is amazing."

Lu Xun's tone was complicated.

True.

Lu Xun was both strategic and capable.

However, the general trend determines the upper limit of strategy and ability.

Even if Lu Xun guessed Liu Feng's intention, he could not stop Liu Feng, but had to cooperate with Liu Feng instead.

For Lu Xun: Sun Quan’s kindness must be repaid, and the Lu family must be protected!

If you want to balance the interests, you must make trade-offs!

Looking at the departing Jingzhou navy, Lu Xun looked toward the river and sighed: "The general trend is irresistible. We have no choice but to do it."

Just as Liu Feng expected.

When Cao Pi received the news of Han Zong's surrender and Liu Feng's return, he did not choose to send troops to support Han Zong.

One reason is that Cao Pi had been fooled by Pan Zhang and did not want to be fooled again by Han Zong. If Han Zong was truly willing to surrender to Wei, he should be determined to die for Wei.

Secondly, the battle of Ruxukou had reached its final stage, and Cao Pi's troops were insufficient, so how could he have extra troops to support Han Zong?

The most important thing is: if we win the Battle of Ruxukou, we can get Poyang even if Han Zong dies; if we lose the Battle of Ruxukou, we can't keep Poyang even if we get it!

Cao Pi can clearly distinguish the pros and cons!

Cao Pi issued the final battle order and transferred all the troops in Shouchun to Ruxukou, vowing to destroy Sun Quan in one battle!

Sun Quan's side also made up their minds.

Although he knew that he had been tricked by Liu Feng, Sun Quan did not dare to reveal Liu Feng's intentions to his generals at this moment. Instead, he asked Liu Feng to go to Poyang to quell the rebellion on his behalf to boost the morale of the army.

One side has more soldiers and generals, while the other side has the advantage of geographical location.

And during the fierce fighting between the two sides.

Liu Feng's military orders also arrived in Echeng and Xiakou respectively.

"According to the order of the General of Chariots and Cavalry, summon Guan Xing, the governor of Jiangxia, to quickly mobilize the troops from Echeng, Fankou, and Zhucheng to attack Shiyang! There must be no mistakes!"

"According to the order of the General of Chariots and Cavalry, summon the General Guan Ping to quickly mobilize the troops in Xiakou and attack Shiyang! There must be no mistakes!"

Guan Xing and Guan Ping already knew Liu Feng's intention. After Liu Feng went to Jiangdong, they spread the rumor that "Sun Lu saved his father" while making preparations in secret.

At this moment, they were all overjoyed when they received Liu Feng's military order.

As descendants of Guan Yu, the two brothers have wanted to capture Shiyang for a long time!

Upon learning of the unusual movements of the Han troops at Xiakou and Fankou, Wen Pin and Yu Jin of Shiyang were alarmed but not panicked.

It was not difficult to predict that Guan Ping and Guan Xing would take advantage of the battle between Cao Pi and Sun Quan at Ruxukou to secretly attack Shiyang.

It is essential to guard Shiyang all year round and guard against surprise attacks.

not to mention.

Still in Shiyang were Wen Pin and Yu Jin, two veteran generals of Cao Wei.

"Liu Feng, the little thief, really has bad intentions. He deliberately spread the rumor of 'Sun Lu saved his father'. In fact, he wanted us to be careless and give Guan Ping and Guan Xing a chance to launch a surprise attack.

Haha. Even if Guan Yu came in person, he couldn't break Shiyang City, let alone Guan Yu's two sons. I must capture them alive to avenge my old hatred!"

The person who spoke was Yu Jin.

Due to his dark history of being captured alive and surrendered by Guan Yu, Yu Jin's official career seemed very embarrassing.

It is clear that he is the one Cao Cao values the most among the Five Elite Generals, but now he has to rank below Wen Pin and guard Shiyang together with Wen Pin.

This made Yu Jin deeply depressed.

Wen Pin said cautiously: "That being said, there are only a few thousand soldiers in Shiyang City now, so we must not be careless. If we accidentally fall into the trap of these two bastards, our reputation will be ruined."

Yu Jin nodded: "General Wen, rest assured, I will follow your orders on how to deal with it and will never make decisions on my own. For the sake of caution, you can send someone to deliver a message to His Majesty."

Guan Ping and Guan Xing acted quickly and arrived at the city of Shiyang in a few days.

Guan Ping rode his horse directly to the battlefield, shouting and cursing: "Yu Jin, do you still remember being captured alive in Fancheng? If you have the courage, come out of the city and fight me! If you don't have the courage, call me father, and I will spare your life again!"
