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

Chapter 92: Sun Quan's Nightmare, Liu Fenghu's Power Shocks Jiangling
Sun Quan, feeling irritable, lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

It was not until the hour of Yin that I finally closed my eyes.

Vaguely.

Sun Quan seemed to have returned to his youthful vigor and vitality. He actually saw Sun Jian and Sun Ce sitting opposite each other and drinking, with their heroic laughter ringing in his ears.

But before Sun Quan came closer, the scene changed rapidly.

Sun Jian was pierced by more than ten sharp arrows and his head and face were injured by stones.

Sun Ce was shot in the left cheek by a sharp arrow and his body was pierced by several sharp blades.

The two of them actually gave Sun Quan a strange smile at the same time.

After the strange smile, Sun Jian and Sun Ce turned into Liu Bei and Liu Feng again, and directly raised their swords to chop at Sun Quan.

"what!"

Sun Quan cried out in surprise, sat up from the bed, gasping for breath, his plain clothes soaked with cold sweat.

"Why do I have such a strange dream?"

Feeling his pounding chest, Sun Quan subconsciously thought this was a bad omen and ordered his men:
"Someone, call Wu Fan to see me!"

The Wu Fan mentioned by Sun Quan was a sorcerer from Kuaiji.

He was proficient in the calendar and liked to discuss astronomical phenomena.

According to historical records, Wu Fan predicted the victory and defeat of Sun Quan's two expeditions to Jiangxia, predicted that Liu Bei would still be able to capture Xichuan after Pang Tong's death, predicted that Lu Meng would be able to successfully launch a surprise attack on Jiangling, predicted that Guan Yu's surrender in Maicheng was a false surrender, and predicted that Cao Pi was pretending to be friendly with Sun Quan, etc.

If we only consider the results, Wu Fan seems to have some ability to "predict".

And actually.

Rather than being a sorcerer, Wu Fan was more of a knowledgeable man who used theories on celestial phenomena to enhance his own reputation.

Although there are many knowledgeable people in this world, most of them cannot stand out.

Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it.

If you want to become famous, you have to use some tricks.

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.

That's what Wu Fan was like.

Although he has the ability to see the situation clearly and distinguish right from wrong, he always mixes the answers with celestial phenomena by seeking divine advice.

In this era, theories of astronomy such as divination, prophecies, and fortune-telling were popular.

If it were Liu Feng, he would just smile and say nothing about the theory of astronomical phenomena.

But Sun Quan just fell for it.

Whenever something went wrong, they would ask Wu Fan to seek divination.

Wait until Wu Fan arrives.

Sun Quan then told Wu Fan about the dream and asked Wu Fan to pray to the gods for good or bad luck.

Wu Fan was a middle-aged scholar with a amiable face, and he had interpreted dreams for Sun Quan many times.

A professional process of seeking divine advice and divination is completed.

Wu Fan had the answer: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. This dream is a warning from your ancestors, and it is a sign of great luck."

Sun Quan felt relieved and said, "Please tell me more in detail."

Wu Fan twirled his beautiful beard and danced with joy: "Judging from the current astronomical phenomena, the aura of the generals in Zigui has not yet subsided, and the aura of the king in Baidi City is gradually increasing. This shows that it will be difficult for Governor Lu to accomplish anything great in Zigui."

"Originally this should have been a bad omen, but now with General Po Lu's warning in my dream, it can turn into a good omen."

"In Yiling, Yidao and Qishan counties, the Yi people often offer sacrifices to the mountain god. The spirit of the mountain god nourishes all things. If Governor Lu can offer sacrifices to the mountain god in the three counties and control the key points, even if the king's aura attacks, it will be difficult to stop the power of the mountain god."

Sun Quan frowned, "Could it be that the celestial phenomena indicate that Liu Bei will soon arrive in Zigui?"

Wu Fan nodded: "The celestial phenomena indeed indicate so."

Sun Quan pondered: "No wonder my father turned into Liu Bei in my dream. It turned out that my father was reminding me to be careful of Liu Bei. Then why did my brother turn into Liu Feng?"

Wu Fan shook his head and said, "The general who fights against rebellion has always been known as the Overlord. Those who can be called Overlord in ancient and modern times are all the reincarnations of the God of Death in heaven."

"Since ancient times, the God of Death and the Emperor have always been at odds with each other. The two cannot coexist. The General of Suppressing Rebellion is reminding the Supreme that he must not fight a decisive battle with Liu Feng between the two camps, otherwise it would be hard to predict whether it would be a blessing or a disaster."

If Wu Fan's weird words were said by Yu Fan or Pan Jun,

The gist of Wu Fan's first paragraph is:
Zigui is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Meng Da is good at it. Now that the city has been under siege for many days, Liu Bei in Xichuan must have noticed it and may send troops, generals or go in person. Instead of letting Lu Xun waste time in Zigui, it is better to let Lu Xun retreat to Yiling, Yidao and Jishan counties, control the river mouths and guard the dangerous mountain passes.

The gist of the second paragraph is even simpler: let Sun Quan have self-awareness and remember the lesson of Xiaoyaojin.

The normal analysis of ourselves and the enemy becomes "high-end" after being modified and processed by Wu Fan using metaphysical terms such as "general's spirit", "royal spirit", "celestial phenomenon", "mountain god", "killing god" and "conflict".

If you change your words to someone who doesn’t understand metaphysics, they won’t understand what Wu Fan is saying.

Although Wu Fan's words "You cannot fight a decisive battle with Liu Feng between the two camps, otherwise it will be hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse" sounded harsh to his ears, Sun Quan was not a fool who would just rush in.

Especially after the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, Sun Quan had a clear self-awareness of his ability to "fight a decisive battle between two camps."

The dishes are fine, just don’t waste them.

After carefully considering the "celestial phenomena" mentioned by Wu Fan, Sun Quan summoned Gu Li again and ordered him to send someone to convey the new military order to Lu Xun.

This time the military order no longer urged Lu Xun to attack Zigui.

Obviously.

Sun Quan also realized that Zigui would be difficult to capture for the time being, and he had to first defend the three important counties of Yiling, Yidao and Qishan to prevent Liu Bei from leading his troops into Jiangling again as he did a few years ago.

With Wu Fan's interpretation of the dream, Sun Quan's irritability was largely dissipated.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, Sun Quan lost his sleep and chatted with Wu Fan about the elephants while waiting for Ding Feng's reply.

Jiangling City is only a few miles away from Jiangjinkou.

Not long after Ding Feng set off, he saw the red light at the mouth of Jiangjin. He was greatly alarmed and immediately urged his troops to speed up.

But when Ding Feng arrived, Jiangjinkou was already in a mess.

Most of Han Dang's camp was burned down, and even Han Dang's right shoulder was cut.

If it weren't for the protection of armor, Han Dang's right arm would have been cut off with skin and bones.

"General Han, who hurt you?" Ding Feng was horrified.

Han Dang was a man of extraordinary physical strength. He first followed Sun Jian and then Sun Ce. He broke into the enemy's line of battle several times and made numerous military achievements. He fought his way to his current position on the battlefield as a slave.

Among all the generals in Jiangdong today, Han Dang is one of the top three generals in terms of strength. Who would have thought that Han Dang would be injured while wearing armor!
Han Dang looked depressed.

Because this knife was left by Liu Feng.

Tonight's battle is also the most frustrating battle Han Dang has ever had in the past few years.

Not only did Liu Feng successfully raid his camp and burn a lot of tents and supplies, but he was also almost hacked to death by Liu Feng.

He was able to save his life thanks to his thick armor which had far greater defensive power than that of ordinary soldiers. Even so, Han Dang still had a hideous knife wound on his shoulder.

"It's Liu Feng."

Han Dang spoke bitterly.

"Liu Feng used Pan Zhang's banner to deceive the soldiers I deployed on duty. Although the patrolling military officer warned him, it was too late."

Ding Feng was even more shocked.

How could Liu Feng have Pan Zhang’s banner?
Ding Feng suddenly had a bad guess: "Could it be that General Pan was also captured alive by Liu Feng?"

When Ding Feng made this guess, he couldn't believe it himself.

It had only been a few days since Quan Cong was captured, and then Pan Zhang was captured alive?
Not only that, Liu Feng also successfully launched a surprise attack on Jiangjinkou and injured General Han?
The more Ding Feng thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Liu Feng's bravery and fighting skills were beyond Ding Feng's understanding.

The last person who made Ding Feng feel this kind of horror was Zhang Liao, whom he met at Xiaoyaojin.

Han Dang sighed.

Like Ding Feng, Han Dang also had such a guess.

Liu Feng's bravery and fighting skills reminded Han Dang of Sun Jian and Sun Ce in the past.

Looking at Han Dang, who had a frustrated look on his face and sighed in silence, Ding Feng felt even more upset.

Although they had the advantage in military strength, they were still beaten back and forth by Liu Feng. It was so frustrating!

And on the other side.

Liu Feng has already returned to the camp with his soldiers.

Although this surprise attack burned a lot of Han Dang's tents and supplies, it was not successful as the Jiangdong merchant ships at Jiangjinkou were not burned.

If the Jiangdong merchant ships at Jiangjinkou cannot be burned, Sun Quan will not panic due to food shortage.

After this battle.

Sun Quan will certainly strengthen the defense of Jiangjinkou again, and it will be difficult for Liu Feng to use the same trick to launch a surprise attack on Jiangjinkou again.

Since Jiangjinkou could not be attacked for the time being, Liu Feng turned his focus to Jiangling City.

In order to capture Jiangling City, in addition to the "lack of food in the city", Liu Feng currently has three main methods available: one is "opening the gate with internal support", the second is "pretending to open the city gate", and the third is "provoking the generals to leave the city".

Liu Feng had an insider in the city.

For example, Wang Dang, Luo Xin, Shan Xiong and Pei Qing.

For example, the Maicheng soldiers entered Jiangling City under the pretext of visiting relatives.

For example, Wang Fu, a member of the Yi Cao clan, and other civil and military officials in the city temporarily surrendered to Sun Quan.

Even Mi Fang, who surrendered the city, could be the traitor.

The difficulty lies in the fact that Liu Feng could think of "having an insider open the gate", "pretending to open the city gate", and "provoking the generals to leave the city", and Sun Quan and the wise men around him could also think of it.

This is a common siege tactic and is not surprising.

Occasionally there are those who succeed, who have luck as a bonus in addition to their strategy and bravery.

After careful consideration.

Liu Feng ordered his attendants to lead Pan Zhang to the command tent and prepared wine, meat and food for Pan Zhang.

At the same time, he ordered Tian Qi to pick out a few captured Wu soldiers, lieutenants, generals and garrisons and hide them outside the tent.

Wait for Pan Zhang to come in.

Liu Feng personally stepped forward and cut the rope that bound Pan Zhang, and greeted him warmly: "General Pan, I am sorry for the injustice you have suffered these days."

Pan Zhang looked around warily and said, "Liu Feng, don't play the trick of righteous release in front of me. I will never surrender."

Liu Feng pushed Pan Zhang to sit on the bamboo mat and poured wine for him himself: "General Pan, you misunderstood. I have always respected loyal and righteous people. Today I am not trying to persuade you to surrender, but to let you go."

Pan Zhang snorted coldly: "Are you so kind? You must have some ulterior motive for letting me go on purpose. How could I fall for your evil scheme?"

Liu Feng smiled frankly: "General Pan is wise. Then I will not hide it. I let you go back to Jiangling City for a purpose. I hope you can persuade the Marquis of Wu to return Jiangling. If the Marquis of Wu agrees, I will help him take Xiangyang and Fancheng."

Pan Zhang laughed: "Liu Feng, are you kidding? You want the Marquis of Wu to return Jiangling with just one sentence. Do you think it's possible? Even if you want to exchange Xiangyang and Fancheng, at least take Xiangyang and Fancheng first."

Liu Feng smiled and said, "General Pan, don't rush to refuse. I don't think you know much about the recent situation. Why don't I talk to you in detail first and then you can decide."

Regardless of whether Pan Zhang was willing to listen or not, Liu Feng slowly and carefully explained the changes in the situation after Pan Zhang left Jiangling City.

For example: Lü Meng was critically ill and unable to manage affairs.

For example: Liu Feng reached an agreement with Yu Jin. Liu Feng provided food and grass and let Yu Jin go to Fancheng. Yu Jin would persuade Cao Ren to provide food and grass for Liu Feng.

For example: At Lukou, Guan Yu had already defeated Sun Jiao and Jiang Qin so much that they retreated into their shells and dared not fight back.

For example: Lu Xun was unable to capture Zigui and was unable to stop the reinforcements from Xichuan.

For example: Quan Cong took Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong out of the city to fight against Liu Feng. As a result, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong were defeated and Quan Cong was captured alive.

For example: Liu Fenggang launched a surprise attack on Jiangjinkou, burned Han Dang's camp and supplies, and injured Han Dang.

and many more.

It is still Liu Feng's usual routine, nine parts true and one part false.

Sun Quan could basically obtain the real intelligence by himself, but he could only guess the false intelligence.

After listening to Liu Feng's detailed description of the current situation, Pan Zhang felt terrible.

So all our Jiangling generals who left the city were beaten by Liu Feng?

When a person was beaten, Pan Zhang would shout "Victory and defeat are common in the military, we can fight again another day."

A group of people were beaten up, and even Pan Zhang didn't have the face to say "victory and defeat are common in the military."

Pan Zhang also felt deeply uneasy because Lu Meng was critically ill and unable to manage affairs.
