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

Chapter 170: Yongzhou Raiders, Let Zhuge Liang Go to Yizhou (6K)

Wuguan is the vital throat connecting Jingxiang and Guanzhong.

If Wuguan is lost, Guanzhong will be in danger.

After Liu Feng incorporated the counties of Nanxiang into Xincheng County, his sphere of influence was less than 300 miles away from Wuguan.

Cao Zhen, the Wei general guarding Chang'an, even stationed his most combat-savvy left general Zhang He and 5,000 infantry and cavalry at Wuguan to prevent Liu Feng from launching a surprise attack.

Liu Feng knew that Zhang He was very powerful.

In order to paralyze Zhang He, Liu Feng deployed heavy troops in the direction of Wancheng, intending to tell Zhang He: Don't stay in Wuguan, I am not interested in Wuguan.

And now.

However, Li Yan wanted Liu Feng to send troops from Xincheng to contain Zhang He in Wuguan, which would be equivalent to directly destroying Liu Feng's deployment in the three counties in northern Jing!

Not to mention whether Li Yan can capture Yongzhou, even if he can, why should Liu Feng abandon his original deployment to cooperate with Li Yan?
Liu Feng's prestige has increased dramatically in recent years.

Especially after Liu Bei appointed Liu Feng as the General of the Northern Expedition, the Acting General of Chariots and Cavalry, the Governor of Jingbei, and the Governor of the three counties of Jingbei, it was equivalent to entrusting the war in the direction of Jingbei to Liu Feng with full authority.

Unless Liu Bei spoke up, no one could change Liu Feng's deployment in the north of Jing.

Fa Zheng came to see Liu Bei privately with this in mind.

In terms of personal relations, Fa Zheng had a distant relationship with Liu Feng, and it was difficult for him to discuss general situations with Liu Feng in private like Zhuge Liang could.

"Takanao, what do you think?"

Liu Bei put down the silk letter of victory and looked up at Fa Zheng.

When Fa Zheng arrived, he had already thought of the words, and reported: "In Dongchuan and Xichuan, the treasury is sufficient in the past two years, and the people's taxes are light. If we send 10,000 elite soldiers out of Wudu, we can have enough food and grass for a year.

Guo Huai was recently defeated and Yongzhou was in panic. If His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan sent troops to Wuguan again, Zhang He would not dare to leave Wuguan easily, and Cao Zhen in Chang'an would not dare to act rashly.

Others, such as Yang Qiu and others, although brave, have no strategy. Even if they lead troops to help Guo Huai, they are no match for Li Yan and others.

Cao Pi's army was still in Huainan and had not returned yet. It was thousands of miles away and it was difficult to provide assistance.

Therefore, I believe that now is the time to take Yongzhou in the west and unite our forces in the old capital."

Liu Bei could not help but frown: "That being said, Jingzhou is in a state of disrepair right now, and the King of Yan has handed over all the taxes and levies of the three counties in northern Jingzhou to the Prime Minister for overall management. Even if the King of Yan agrees, the Prime Minister will not agree."

In Zhuge Liang's eyes, it was: You all want to make merit so badly, right? You don't know how expensive food and oil are, right? I finally got the tax and levy coordination rights of the three counties in northern Jing from the King of Yan, and now you want me to give up the tax and levy of the three counties in northern Jing?
If Li Yan had delivered the victory report a few months earlier, Liu Bei might have really taken advantage of the battle between Cao Pi and Sun Quan at Ruxukou to order Liu Feng to capture Wuguan.

At that time, Liu Feng had not handed over the money and grain taxation rights of the three counties in northern Jing to Zhuge Liang, so it was not difficult to restrain Zhang He.

And now.

If you want Liu Bei to make a decision, you not only need Liu Feng's consent, but also Zhuge Liang's consent.

Hear this.

Fa Zheng also had a headache.

To get Liu Feng to agree, all he had to do was convince Liu Bei.

It's no use getting Zhuge Liang to agree or persuading Liu Bei!

Zhuge Liang was really angry, so he directly threw the power to coordinate money, grain and taxes to the Secretariat: If you can do it, go ahead!
When it comes to giving advice and suggestions, Fa Zheng believes that he is no worse than others.

When it comes to money, grain and taxes, Fa Zheng is not even half as good as Zhuge Liang.

Fa Zheng lowered his head and dared not look Liu Bei in the eye, saying: "If we don't send troops, I'm afraid the generals in Dongchuan will be disheartened."

Liu Bei sighed when he heard this.

Li Yan and others captured Wudu Yinping and were sharpening their swords to attack Yongzhou.

If Jingzhou does not send troops to support at this time, it will not only miss the opportunity to capture Yongzhou, but also undermine the enthusiasm of the generals in Dongchuan.

If it is not handled properly, it will cause resentment among the generals in Dongchuan, and they may even resent Liu Feng.

For example: Liu Feng relied on his position as the governor of the three northern counties of Jing and was unwilling to let the generals in Dongchuan make great contributions, so he deliberately shirked his responsibilities.

and many more.

The family business has grown.

The benefits cannot be enjoyed alone.

Even if Liu Feng sincerely handed over the money and grain taxes of the three counties to Zhuge Liang for overall planning, he would be mistakenly believed that Liu Feng was deliberately diverting conflicts.

"Let me consider it."

Liu Bei did not give Fa Zheng a clear reply.

Fa Zheng also understood that Liu Bei needed to weigh the matter carefully, so he didn't say anything more. After apology, he left Liu Bei's bedroom.

Rubbing his temples, Liu Bei felt a headache coming on.

"No wonder Cao Mengde often suffers from headaches. The bigger his foundation becomes, the more troublesome things become." Liu Bei sighed and ordered the attendant Guo Youzhi to summon Liu Feng.

Liu Bei did not summon Zhuge Liang or Guan Yu.

The former would speak frankly about the shortage of money and grain, while the latter would be dissatisfied with Fa Zheng.

A rash summons will not only fail to solve the problem, but will also aggravate the conflict.

Liu Bei had to understand Liu Feng's original intention before he could consider it carefully.

In the palace of Prince Yan.

Liu Feng stared at the Minister Guo Youzhi with an unhappy look on his face, and his tone was quite unfriendly: "Minister Guo, I have never offended you before, right?"

Liu Feng was a fighter on the battlefield and a general in charge of the army, so he had a strong aura of fierceness.

Being glared at by Liu Feng, Guo Youzhi felt a chill on his back: "Your Highness, you are joking. As everyone knows, Your Highness does not rely on the favor of relatives at home, nor does he look down on the people in the white house. He will definitely not have any personal grudge against me."

Liu Feng snorted coldly: "Since you have no personal grudge, why did you disturb me at night? Doesn't Minister Guo know that I haven't been home for a long time and should enjoy myself with my wives and concubines? You are only a minister, not a eunuch. How dare you ruin my happiness?"

Any man who is disturbed while doing something will not be in a good mood.

If Guo Youzhi had not been the Minister of the Interior, Liu Feng would have almost cursed him: "You ignorant fool! Is it easy for me to go back home?"

Guo Youzhi's face was as bitter as a melon, and he felt wronged: "Your Highness, how dare I disturb you? It was His Majesty who summoned you."

Liu Feng's tone became even colder: "Father is already busy with government affairs, how can he stay up late? As the Minister of the Court, why don't you persuade him?"

I want to advise you too!
But how can I persuade him?
Guo Youzhi felt even more aggrieved and didn't know how to respond.

Liu Feng exhaled: "Who disturbed my father tonight?"

After hesitating for a while, Guo Youzhi whispered, "Yes, Shangshu Ling."

"Humph!" Liu Feng shouted angrily, "No matter how serious the matter is, the Minister of Chancellery should have discussed it with the Prime Minister first. To disturb the Emperor privately must be out of selfish motives. I will submit a memorial tomorrow to impeach the Minister of Chancellery for overstepping the boundaries!"

Guo Youzhi's face became even more bitter.

Your Highness Prince of Yan, I am just a small attendant!

If you want to impeach the Minister of the Chancellery, don't let me hear it!

"Then Your Highness, are you going? Or not going?" Guo Youzhi's voice became even more humble.

rear.

Sun Yan, who heard Liu Feng's angry shout, hurried out of the room. Seeing Guo Youzhi's bitter and aggrieved face, he gently advised: "Your Highness, calm down and don't delay His Majesty's business."

Subsequently.

Sun Yan apologized to Guo Youzhi again, saying, "Your Highness has just returned from the battlefield, and you are still angry. Please forgive me, Minister Guo. Your Highness really has no intention of making things difficult for me."

Guo Youzhi didn't dare to blame him, and quickly responded: "Princess, you misunderstood. It was me who disturbed Your Highness tonight. It's not Your Highness's fault."

With Sun Yan's comfort, Liu Feng took a deep breath to calm his inner restlessness.

Since Sun Yan had already come out to persuade him, Liu Feng had no choice but to remain stubborn.

After instructing Sun Yan to have a good rest, Liu Feng adjusted his mood and followed Guo Youzhi to see Liu Bei.

Guo Youzhi was pardoned.

Not long after.

Liu Feng came to Liu Bei's bedroom and bowed.

"My son, I will meet my father."

Although Liu Feng was angry, the cool breeze on the way here calmed him down.

Liu Bei was still in deep thought at this moment.

Seeing Liu Feng coming, he lowered his head and handed a piece of silk book to Liu Feng: "This is the victory report from Li Yan, the governor of Dongchuan. My son, you can take a look first."

Dongchuan? Good news?
Liu Feng's heart trembled, and he quickly glanced at the content of the victory report. Then he understood why Fa Zheng wanted to meet Liu Bei in private, and why Liu Bei summoned him overnight.

Although he understood it, Liu Feng's anger began to grow again.

After gaining two remote small counties and retreating one Guo Huai, he dared to be so arrogant and even wanted to talk about seizing Yongzhou?

If Yongzhou was so easy to capture, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei would not have been unable to reach Chang'an in their entire lives.

Because of this incident, I was disturbed from having fun with my wives and concubines.

It's really hateful!

Putting down the silk book, Liu Feng calmed down his anger and said frankly: "Li Yan and others have captured Wudu and Yinping. Father should send an envoy to reward them and issue an edict to appease the officials and people of Wudu and Yinping to show the grace and power of the Han Dynasty."

Done.

Liu Feng stopped talking.

Liu Bei was listening attentively when he suddenly noticed Liu Feng was silent. He asked in confusion, "That's it?"

Liu Feng pretended to think for a while and said, "Hmm. We need to add the post of prefect of Wudu and prefect of Yinping. I think we can ask the crown prince to recommend talented people."

There was a pause.

Liu Feng added: "Your Highness is also the Governor of Yizhou and the General of the Western Expedition. You can go on a tour of Wudu and Yinping on behalf of your father to calm the people of the two counties."

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched.

My son is playing dumb in front of me!

Didn't I know how to send an envoy to confer rewards? Didn't I know how to issue an edict to appease the officials and people of the two counties? Didn't I know how to ask the crown prince to recommend talented people?
For such a small matter, do I need to summon you overnight?

Liu Bei sighed secretly, and without exposing Liu Feng's thoughts, he asked directly: "Li Yan intends to pursue the victory and seize Yongzhou. My son, do you think it is feasible?"

During the time when he was pretending to be stupid, Liu Feng had already come up with a countermeasure, so he clapped his hands and praised: "The Prime Minister once said that if the time is right, one general should lead the troops of Jingzhou to attack Wanluo, and another general should be sent out of Qinchuan to take Guanzhong.

"Li Dudu is both wise and brave, and coincides with the Prime Minister! I am willing to ask for troops to attack Wanluo and cooperate with Li Dudu to seize Yongzhou."

Liu Bei couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Request troops to attack Wanluo?

If you go to Wanluo, who will hold Zhang He back?

If there is no one to hold Zhang He back, Cao Zhen can send Zhang He to rescue Guo Huai. How can Li Yan and others deal with the army of Cao Zhen, Zhang He and Guo Huai?

After hearing Liu Feng's answer, Liu Bei even wondered whether Liu Feng deliberately claimed to attack Wanluo, and then waited for Zhang He to leave Wuguan before launching a surprise attack on Wuguan.

In the end, Li Yan and others went out of Wudu to contain the Guanzhong army led by Cao Zhen, Zhang He, Guo Huai, etc., while Liu Feng followed Liu Bang's route to destroy Qin: a surprise attack on Wuguan, troops heading towards Yaoguan, and directly taking Chang'an.

As Liu Bei guessed, Liu Feng really thought so! Cao Wei's famous generals were not easy to deal with.

Shi Yang was able to kill Wen Pin because Liu Feng devised a plan to intensify the fighting between Cao Pi and Sun Quan at Ruxukou, cut off Shi Yang's reinforcements, and then attacked Shi Yang with several times the number of troops, thus achieving the victory by chance.

Even so, there were two times when we almost failed along the way.

Once, Guan Ping and Guan Xing were trapped in a siege by Wen Pin, but they were lucky to escape with the help of Zhao Yun.

Once, Wen Pin used the strategy of epidemic disease and suspicious tombs to confuse the enemy and almost scared the army back to Xiakou.

Liu Feng did not think that Li Yan could defeat Guo Huai in Yongzhou just by repelling Guo Huai in Wudu. Wudu was not Guo Huai's home court, and retreating did not mean he was inferior to Li Yan!

For Liu Feng: It doesn’t matter if Li Yan cannot take Yongzhou, but if Li Yan’s failure to take Yongzhou affects Liu Feng’s deployment in the three counties in northern Jing, then the loss would outweigh the gain.

Therefore.

Liu Feng knew exactly what question Liu Bei wanted to ask, but he just pretended to be stupid.

Cooperate with Li Yan to contain Zhang He?

There are no doors!

It would be almost the same if it were to cooperate with Zhuge Liang!
"My son, tell me what you think directly. Don't beat around the bush. If you keep playing dumb, I will transfer you to Guiyang to take Jiaozhou!" Liu Bei looked up and glared at Liu Feng, signaling Liu Feng to answer seriously.

Liu Feng smiled awkwardly: "Father, in fact, it is not impossible to let me help you capture Yongzhou. But the commander who captures Yongzhou cannot be Li Yan."

Liu Bei frowned: "If Li Yan is not allowed to be the commander, then who should be the commander? If the person who goes does not get along with Li Yan, wouldn't it ruin everything?"

Liu Feng chuckled: "I recommend three people to go, Li Yan will definitely obey orders and will not dare to disobey."

"Which three people?" Liu Bei asked.

Liu Feng said slowly: "The Crown Prince will be the chief general, the Prime Minister will be the assistant general, and the General of the Cavalry will go to persuade the Qiang and Hu people. This will surely scare Guo Huai!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bei's eyes widened instantly, and then he rejected it: "No! The prince is young, how can he lead the troops? The prime minister is busy with other affairs, how can he leave easily? My son, if you really don't want to send troops to contain Zhang He, I can return to Li Yan and summon him. Why do we need to send the prince and the prime minister?"

Liu Bei felt like he was still sleepy after asking the crown prince and the prime minister to go to Yizhou.

It would be better to let Li Yan give up the attack on Yongzhou!

Liu Feng calmed down and said, "Father, I am serious!
After the Battle of Ruxukou, Sun Quan was almost half-crippled and posed no threat to his father and Cao Pi in the short term.

From now on, Cao Pi will definitely transfer the heavy troops deployed in Huainan to the Dabie Mountains in the north of Jiangxia to prevent his father from leaving Jiangxia and sending troops to Runan.

Cao Pi would also deploy heavy troops in the Wancheng area to prevent his sons and ministers from advancing towards Wanluo.

Cao Pi has the rich land of Central Plains. If the confrontation lasts for a long time, it will be extremely disadvantageous to his father. If he does not seize Guanzhong while the veteran generals are still in the army, it will be difficult to seize Guanzhong when the veteran generals are no longer there.

The presence of the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister and the General of the Cavalry could, on the one hand, increase the Crown Prince's prestige in the army; on the other hand, with the Prime Minister and the General of the Cavalry there, they would be far better than Li Yan in pacifying the gentry and winning over the Qiang and Hu people.

If the prince attacks Yongzhou with great success, the Cao Wei government and the people will be terrified.

I, your son, then assisted in creating the illusion that the troops were heading towards Wanluo, using a combination of false and real tactics to make Cao Zhen, Zhang He and others exhausted in dealing with the situation.

Once Zhang He is lured away from Wuguan, I can launch a surprise attack on Wuguan, meet up with the Crown Prince in Chang'an, and take Yongzhou together!"

If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

Since they have to cooperate in capturing Yongzhou, Liu Feng has to let Liu Bei play a bigger game.

And Li Yan is not qualified to be on the same chessboard with Liu Feng.

Let the dignified King of Yan serve as a supporting role for a small governor of Dongchuan?
Li Yan thinks too highly of himself!

Apart from Liu Bei, the only person who could make Liu Feng willing to be a supporting role was Liu Chan.

The former is the gratitude between father and son, and the latter is the gratitude between brothers.

True.

Li Yan is arrogant, and he would definitely not accept anyone else as the commander.

But Liu Chan, the crown prince who was also the governor of Yizhou, the general who conquered the west, and the commander of 17 counties in Yizhou, was going to be the main general in the attack on Yongzhou. How could Li Yan dare not obey?

With Crown Prince Liu Chan personally leading the expedition to Yongzhou, the morale of the Yizhou army will also be greatly boosted.

With Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao around, Liu Chan's safety can be guaranteed.

From a selfish point of view: Liu Feng did not want Li Yan to achieve too much merit. According to historical records, Li Yan was an important minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor, but after Liu Bei's death, he advised Zhuge Liang to grant him the Nine Gifts. His intentions are hard to predict.

Liu Bei lowered his head and pondered.

Compared with Li Yan's plan, Liu Feng's plan is obviously better.

Li Yan's plan was to sacrifice Liu Feng's interests in order to cooperate with the generals of Dongchuan.

Liu Feng's plan took into account the interests of the generals in Dongchuan as well as the interests of Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao, without harming his own interests.

For the country.

The best strategic plan must be the one that best suits the interests of all parties.

Otherwise, in the specific implementation, it is easy to be hindered by the party whose interests are harmed.

"Let me ponder this."

Liu Bei did not immediately agree to Liu Feng's proposal.

Transferring Ma Chao to Yizhou would not involve much involvement. If Ma Chao knew about it, he would definitely be happy to go.

Transferring Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang to Yizhou would involve serious issues.

Whether to transfer secretly or go publicly must be carefully considered.

Liu Feng yawned and said, "Father, why bother thinking so much? It's too late today, so why not have a good sleep?

Call the Crown Prince, Prime Minister, Shangshu Ling, General, and General of Cavalry tomorrow. If there are any problems, they can communicate directly. Why summon them one by one?

My son, I still have a lovely wife and concubines waiting for you in the mansion."

Seeing Liu Feng anxious to leave, Liu Bei finally reacted and said with a smile: "I was negligent. You haven't been home for a long time. You should enjoy yourself with your wives and concubines. Well, let's discuss it tomorrow."

Although he said this, Liu Bei still couldn't fall asleep as he looked at Liu Feng's departing back.

Once a person has something on his mind, it is very easy to suffer from insomnia.

Regardless of ancient or modern times.

Shizhong Guo Youzhi could not bear it and advised: "Your Majesty, it is getting late today. It is better to listen to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and have a good sleep first."

Liu Bei sighed: "It's getting late, but I'm still restless. How can I sleep peacefully? If Youzhi is sleepy, you can go and rest first."

Guo Youzhi said respectfully: "Your Majesty has not slept yet, so I cannot sleep first."

And on the other side.

Liu Feng took a detour and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although it was already midnight, Liu Feng guessed that Zhuge Liang must still be working on government affairs.

The facts turned out to be just as Liu Feng had expected.

Being prime minister is not an easy position.

Although Liu Bei became emperor, the number of talented people under his command was far inferior to that of Cao Pi.

There are not many people who can assist Zhuge Liang in his affairs.

Even so, Zhuge Liang still had to check the matters reported by his subordinates to avoid too many mistakes and omissions.

Zhuge Liang also wanted to take it easy, but he had few talented people and dared not be negligent.

Otherwise, if any mistakes were made, it would be an insult to the people of the Han Dynasty and to Liu Bei for his kindness.

Upon learning of Liu Feng's arrival, Zhuge Liang was surprised.

Although Liu Feng sent a visiting card, Zhuge Liang had already asked Sun Yan to bring back the model and drawings of the repeating crossbow during the day.

The purpose is not to waste any more time entertaining Liu Feng.

After entertaining Liu Feng, Zhuge Liang had to make up for the time wasted by staying up late more often.

At this moment, Liu Feng had already arrived at the mansion, and Zhuge Liang had to put down his work and go to see Liu Feng.

"Your Highness, why have you visited me so late at night? Could it be that the improvement of the repeating crossbow is not to your liking?" Zhuge Liang mistakenly thought that Liu Feng came for the improvement of the repeating crossbow and asked directly.

Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. The improved crossbow is exquisite and ingenious. My visit tonight is not about the crossbow, but about Yongzhou."

"Yongzhou?" Zhuge Liang was surprised.

Since Fa Zheng directly presented Li Yan's victory report to Liu Bei, the victory report is still in Liu Bei's hands, and Zhuge Liang does not know about the incident in Wudu Yinping.

Liu Feng then briefly told Zhuge Liang what had happened tonight, and added: "I don't mind sending troops to Wuguan to contain Zhang He. As long as the Prime Minister can provide food and grass, I can send troops tomorrow!"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but twitch his lips and suppressed the urge to curse.

If this is translated into a modern version, Zhuge Liang's mentality would be: What the hell? ? ? Have you played the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Assholes! You fought four battles without taking a break! Four battles! You want to fight a fifth battle! Do you believe I will exile all of you generals? You want to tire me to death?
"Jingzhou is in a state of disrepair and food and grass are in short supply. Your Highness, please do not joke about sending troops!" Zhuge Liang let out a breath and maintained his elegance.

Liu Feng said sternly, "Prime Minister, I am not joking. I have already proposed to my father that the Crown Prince, Prime Minister and General of the Cavalry go to Yizhou together to capture Yongzhou.

Although Jingzhou is short of food and grass, Yizhou's treasury has been sufficient in the past two years, and the people's taxes are light. If we send 10,000 elite soldiers to Wudu, we can have enough food and grass for a year."

Zhuge Liang was stunned: "Your Highness, are you serious? The prince is young, how can he lead the army? I am busy with official duties, how can I leave easily?"

Liu Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "No wonder father always said that having a prime minister is like having fish in water. Even the words he said are exactly the same."

Zhuge Liang's tone also became more serious: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Liu Feng restrained his expression and said, "Prime Minister, if one day my father, the general and other veterans pass away, and I also have an accident due to years of fighting, who can lead the army to the north again?"

Zhuge Liang's expression changed: "Your Highness is in the prime of life, why do you say that?"

Liu Feng said in a stern voice: "In the past, a man as talented as Pang Shiyuan was unfortunately killed by a stray arrow; Zhang Liao, the former general of the pseudo-Wei army, went to the battle when Sun Quan attacked Hefei with an illness and also died after the battle.

Fighting on the battlefield, life and death are determined by fate. My father raised me as his son and made me a deputy general, and he was also worried that I would die suddenly.

With my current fame, there are countless people who hate me. Not only must I be wary of crises on the battlefield, but I must also be wary of assassinations and alienation by enemy countries, as well as ambitious people in my own country.

If there really comes a day when I am no longer around, who can assist the Crown Prince in his northern expedition against Cao Wei?

Therefore, I think: the crown prince should have military power, and the prime minister should understand military affairs. "

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Feng with a stern look, and his eyes were even more complicated.

Fighting on the battlefield, life and death are determined by fate.

Zhuge Liang understood this deeply.

If Pang Tong were still alive, Zhuge Liang would not have to work so hard.

Pang Tong was not only a talented person who was as famous as Zhuge Liang, but also a relative and good friend of Zhuge Liang. The two shared the same fundamental interests.

If Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were both ministers entrusted with the care of the young emperor, there would not have been such a situation where Li Yan held Zhuge Liang back in the Northern Expedition.

same.

With the mutual understanding and trust between Liu Feng and Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang is not worried that Liu Feng will become too powerful and bully his master, and Liu Feng is not worried that Zhuge Liang will hold him back.

Harmony between generals and ministers is extremely beneficial both privately and publicly.

But what if it is really as Liu Feng said: If Liu Feng is gone, who will assist Liu Chan in the Northern Expedition against Cao Wei?
If we replace the general, can we get along well with Zhuge Liang?
Murmuring Liu Feng's words "The crown prince should have military power, and the prime minister should be knowledgeable about military affairs", Zhuge Liang fell into deep thought.
