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

Chapter 8 My father is the King of Hanzhong, what happened to my benevolence and righteousness

Shangyong City is not big.

After "accidentally" encountering Meng Da's guard of honor, Liu Feng returned to his residence shortly afterwards.

Liu Feng distributed the coarse-grain cakes to the personal guards on duty at his residence, and asked Tian Qi to go back to his room to rest.

Even an iron robot will stop working due to overload, let alone a living person.

This time, Tian Qi did not refuse, but handed over the responsibility of protecting Liu Feng to a simple and strong young guard.

The young man also had the surname Tian and was the nephew of Tian Qi. His real name was Gou'er, and Liu Bei gave him the name "Zhong".

Compared to Tian Qi, Tian Zhong is less agile but more solid.

Tian Qi arranged several groups of personal guards to be on duty in the front and back yards before he dragged his tired body back to his room to rest.

Liu Feng returned to the inner room and asked Tian Zhong if he had any latest information to send back.

Tian Zhong took out a bamboo tube and handed it to Liu Feng.

There is a small roll of white cloth hidden in the bamboo tube.

Liu Feng took out the white cloth and took a look.

This is a piece of information from Fangling: Fangling Prefect Deng Fu recently erected a stele for the former Fangling Prefect Kuai Qi and invited famous officials in the city to compose poems for Kuai Qi.

Deng Fu's move was to appease the people of Fangling, to show his attitude to Zhuge Liang and other relatives and friends of Kuai Qi in Liu Han, and also to show it to Kuai Qi's relatives and friends in Cao Wei.

As a local wealthy family in Fangling, Deng Fu is quite good at playing both sides.

Think carefully for a while.

Liu Feng wrote a letter to Deng Fu, praising Deng Fu for his virtues as a wise man and saying that he should be a role model for the three counties of Shangyong, Xicheng and Fangling.

He also asked Tian Zhong to bring a pair of beautiful jades and send the letter and the jades to Fangling.

Winning over Shen Dan, Shen Yi and Deng Fu was a necessary prerequisite for Liu Feng to gain a foothold in the three counties of Shangyong.

As an adopted son of King Hanzhong who was parachuted into Shangyong, Liu Feng's appearance was bound to cause dissatisfaction among Meng Da.

Liu Feng had a deep understanding of this after he awakened his memory.

During these few days, Liu Feng did not take the initiative to make friends with Meng Da, but that did not mean that Liu Feng wanted to make enemies with Meng Da.

Instead, Liu Feng believed that he should not show too weak when dealing with someone like Meng Da who liked to play tricks on others.

Liu Feng's attitude was firm: I, Liu Feng, am the supreme ruler! Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all my power.

If Liu Feng behaved too weakly, then in the future when Shangyong encountered important decisions, Liu Feng would have to discuss with Meng Da and seek Meng Da's consent.

Wouldn't that mean Meng Da is rebelling against Tian Gang?

Whether Meng Da was loyal to Liu Bei was not the most important thing for Liu Feng.

The most important thing is: as long as Meng Da is not loyal to Liu Feng, Liu Feng will have to use some means to suppress Meng Da.

This is a matter of position.

It also concerns whether Liu Feng can truly gain a foothold in Shangyong.

not to mention.

As soon as Liu Feng was appointed as deputy general, Meng Da dared to act recklessly in Shangyong and even dared to let his trusted men in the army pretend to obey Liu Feng's orders but actually disobey them.

This was something Liu Feng could not tolerate.

Although Meng Da is talented, he is unwilling to surrender and the more talented he is, the more dangerous he is.

In addition, Meng Da now controls 4,000 soldiers in Shangyong, which is equivalent to the total number of troops under Liu Feng, Shen Dan, Shen Yi and Deng Fu.

Not to mention Liu Feng, even if Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang came, they could not tolerate a general who controlled 4,000 soldiers and disobeyed orders and acted on his own.

Taking into account the previous experience of Cao Bao welcoming Lu Bu, Liu Feng was relatively gentle in suppressing Meng Da, and his method of "advocating" was extremely foolish.

If Meng Da turned around and joined Cao Wei at that time, and then gave Liu Bei a letter of resignation, Liu Feng's ability would inevitably be questioned, and it would also seriously affect Liu Feng's plan to change his destiny.

After sending someone to deliver the beautiful jade and letters to Fangling, Liu Feng also had two large flags made.

A large banner had an inscription on it: The King of Hanzhong is benevolent and virtuous throughout the ages, and always puts the people first.

A large flag had an inscription on it: Adopted son Liu Feng, following the king's order, will benefit the people.

After hastily making two large flags, Liu Feng took more than fifty personal guards to "patrol the city."

It was already Si time when Liu Feng went out to patrol the city. At Si time, the streets in the city were crowded with people.

It is quite lively with hawkers shouting, pedestrians passing by, children playing, etc.

Liu Feng's "city patrol" also attracted everyone's attention.

Many people were watching on the street. Those who could read read the words on the big flag to the people around them, and then translated the words on the big flag into plain language by shaking their heads.

Just looking at the expressions of the crowd, besides confusion, most of them are still frightened.

Obviously.

No one trusted Liu Feng, nor did they trust the words written on the banner.

Except for a vendor selling coarse-grain cakes.

After hearing the literate person read the words on Liu Feng's banner, the vendor excitedly showed off to the crowd around him: "I understand this!"

"This morning, the deputy general bought my coarse grain cakes and said that the King of Hanzhong was benevolent and virtuous, and that he came to Shangyong to benefit the people."

"The deputy general bought ten cakes from me and gave me ten coins."

A chorus of "Eh!"sounded from the crowd, and everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.

The literate scholars were even more contemptuous: "How can the deputy general speak to you, a pancake seller who can't read a single word? Do you know what it means to be benevolent and virtuous, and what it means to benefit the people?"

The vendor selling whole grain cakes was questioned and immediately became anxious: "What I said is true! Why can't I understand?"

The scholar chuckled: "Even if you understand. But what kind of person is the deputy general? Why would he spend ten coins to buy ten cakes from you? Are your cakes made of delicacies from land and sea?"

The vendor was furious.

Ten whole-grain cakes really don’t cost ten coins, and the vendor’s whole-grain cakes are not made with delicacies from land and sea.

"I'm not lying!" The peddler's face turned red and his neck became thick. He clenched his carrying pole tightly as if he was going to beat the scholar.

The scholar took a step back and said, "A gentleman uses words, not fists. Don't think that I am afraid of you just because I can't beat you."

Just now.

The peddler suddenly did something astonishing. He rushed out of the crowd and stood in front of Liu Feng with his carrying pole.

The scholar's face turned pale in an instant.

His mother is also!

My life is over!

Tian Zhong instantly stood in front of Liu Feng, and the guards on his left and right also treated him as a powerful enemy.

"Tian Zhong, come back."

Liu Feng had already recognized that the person blocking the road was the vendor who was selling coarse grain cakes this morning.

Seeing that the vendor was standing there motionless and not speaking, Liu Feng asked gently, "I recognize you. You are my fellow villager who sold me cakes this morning. Did I not pay you enough this morning?"

The peddler originally rushed out on a blast of blood, but he regretted it the moment he rushed out. If it weren't for the carrying pole, he would have collapsed long ago.

After hearing Liu Feng's words, the vendor's fear instantly disappeared, and he shouted excitedly: "General, you gave too much. Ten cakes are not worth ten coins. I am here to return the extra money to you."

Liu Feng restrained his expression and said solemnly: "Ten cakes are indeed not worth ten coins. I gave you ten, not because I didn't know the price of cakes. It's because I led the troops into Shangyong City and frightened you and the people in the city. This extra money is my compensation to you."

Before the vendor could speak, Liu Feng clasped his fists and saluted the people around him: "My fellow countrymen, I am Liu Feng, the adopted son of the King of Hanzhong and the deputy general of the army."

"I will stay in Shangyong City for a long time. I am sorry for causing a lot of disturbance during the previous attack on the city."

"In order to make up for the disturbance caused to you, my fellow countrymen, I swear here that I will never abuse my power to bully others, and I will also control my soldiers so that they will not disturb you, my fellow countrymen."

"The world is in turmoil right now, and I just hope to do my best to protect the safety of you, my fellow countrymen."

The words fell.

The people around were all stunned.

Especially the scholar and others who were with the vendor just now, looked at Liu Feng in astonishment.

What the pancake vendor said was actually true?

　I have an unrealistic idea. If I save 4000 words every day, I can reach words after putting it on the shelves in a month.

　　Your support is my motivation.
