Chapter 74 Freedom is in front of you
Thank you for the reward of Ziqing Xuanming, hehe.

Just now, he completely turned against Liu Feng and fought for Mi Zhu with a red face. At this time, he unexpectedly recommended Liu Feng to take Changsha County. Not only Liu Feng himself, but also Liu Bei felt a little incredible.
'This old guy must not have any good intentions. What on earth is he looking for?'
When Liu Fengshang was conjecturing Mi Zhu's intention, his uncle immediately smiled and said, "The four counties in the south of the Yangtze River are outnumbered, which is not enough to resist the attack of our army at all, and A Feng has experienced in the battle of Lushan. This time, he was asked to lead the army to march, and he has more experience, so that he can be the right arm of the lord in the future."
Mi Zhu's explanation is elofiant, at least from the point of view, it is out of cultivating Liu Feng's kindness, but Liu Feng knows very well that this person will never have such good intentions, and there must be some conspiracy in it.
However, no matter what Mi Zhu's heart is, Liu Feng can't give up this great opportunity to leave Liu Bei anyway. He can't think too much about it, so he has to get up and ask for help.
At this moment, Liu Feng accidentally glanced at Xu Shu on the side and found that Xu Shu was frowning and shaking his head slightly at him, obviously implying that he would not accept Mi Zhu's proposal.
'Why doesn't Xu Shu want me to go to the south? Does it mean that he has seen through Mi Zhu's conspiracy?'
Xu Shu's hint made Liu Feng more suspicious, but how could he let go of this excellent opportunity in front of him? If you can win the opportunity of this southern expedition and successfully take the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang, it is equivalent to having a foothold. At that time, Liu Qi will be carried out, and the right time, the right place and the people will be ready, and you can break away from Liu Bei and become a hero.
This God-given opportunity, even if there is a sea of swords and fire in front of him, Liu Feng must take a risk.
His mind has been decided. Liu Feng pretended to be a hint that he didn't know Xu Shu. He jumped up and sighed, "As the son of my father, how can you sit and enjoy it? I asked my father's advice from my uncle to lead the south to seize the two counties. I will live up to the expectations of my father and uncle."
When Liu Feng took the initiative to ask, the eagle-like eyes flowed on Mi Zhu. Sure enough, the corners of the old guy's mouth quietly tilted, and a cunning expression flashed. When Liu Feng's eyes swept over Xu Shu, he saw that he was still shaking his head, and his expression added a little worry.
With Mi Zhu's proposal and Liu Feng's generous invitation, Liu Bei seemed to have no reason to refuse. He turned to Kong Ming and smiled, "It's rare for Feng'er to have a heart, military division, what do you think of Zizhong's suggestion?"
In Zhuge Liang's clear eyes, a strange look flashed. Except for Liu Feng, who was careful to observe, there was no second person's awareness. The fleeting strangeness seemed that he had guessed Mi Zhu's intention.
With Zhuge Liang's position, if he objected, Liu Bei would obey, and Liu Feng's heart suddenly hung up.
However, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Since Zizhong strongly recommended it, there is no objection to Liang, but it is up to the Lord's decision."
Zhuge Liang did not object, and Liu Feng was immediately relieved.
Seeing that there was no objection, Liu Bei said, "Well, let Feng'er lead the army to take the second county of Guiyang in Changsha, and Yide to take Wuling and Lingling. I will lead an army to support you."
Liu Fengchang exhaled, and there was an unprecedented relief in his heart. At this moment, he couldn't help sighing Pang Tong's cleverness.
This man's inference has really reached an appalling point. He not only helped Liu Feng think of the wonderful move to untie the dead knot with the help of Liu Qi, but also speculated in advance that after the Battle of Red Cliff, Liu Bei would seize the four southern counties and take this as an excellent opportunity for Liu Feng to break away from Liu Bei and seize a foothold.
'Pang Shiyuan, Pang Shiyuan, it won't be long before I, Liu Feng, will have a place to support your high talent.'
When Liu Feng was secretly excited, Xu Shu suddenly said, "Although the eldest prince is brave and witty, after all, there are only two hundred songs. For the safety reasons, I think the master should allocate more troops to the eldest prince."
"Well, it's reasonable to say it bluntly."
When Liu Bei was considering how many soldiers and horses to allocate to Liu Feng, Mi Zhu took the lead and said, "Most of the four southern counties are riots composed of county soldiers. There is no need to waste too many soldiers and horses at all. In my opinion, with A Feng's ability, 800 troops are enough to level the two counties in eastern Hunan."
After Mi Zhu said, Zhuge Liang immediately added: "There are many barbarians in Wuling, and the forces of all parties are complex. Our existing troops should indeed be allocated more to Yide."
Zhuge Liang did not directly say that he would add less parts to Liu Feng, but on the contrary, he said that he should lead more soldiers and horses to Zhang Fei, but the meaning was also obvious.
Liu Bei said, "If that's the case, then give Feng'er another 500 elite soldiers, Feng'er, and take the two counties of Xiangdong with 800 soldiers and horses. Do you have confidence?"
The soldiers are fine but not many. Liu Feng has a deep understanding of this, both in terms of military tactics and from several battles with Cao's army. In addition, the four counties in the south are indeed self-containing county soldiers. Although 800 soldiers and horses are not many, as long as they are used well, it is impossible to take the two counties.
With this in mind, Liu Feng said happily, "Eight hundred people are enough, and Feng will live up to his father's expectations."
Two major events have been finalized. At this moment, Liu Bei was in a very good mood. He couldn't help laughing and said to everyone, "This decision has been decided. Please work together. It's rare for everyone to get together. I'm going to hold a banquet tonight, and I'll have a good drink with you.
After the end of the discussion on that day, Zhu Wenwu did not disperse. In the evening, Liu Bei held a banquet in the Taishou to drink and have fun with everyone.
Since the defeat of the Battle of Changbanpo, the whole Liu Bei Group has faced the test of almost extinction. Now, after less than a few months, it has turned around. Not only is it waiting to defeat Cao Yan, but also has a new development blueprint planned by Kong Ming. Everyone's spirit is naturally very excited, and the atmosphere of this banquet is naturally full. Full of laughter, everyone seems to have forgotten the farce staged by Mi Zhu before.
Only Liu Feng is sober.
After a few parades of wine, Liu Feng left the lobby in a low-key under the pretext of sobering up and breathing.
Standing on the steps, the night wind hit, and the starry sky was brilliant. At this moment, Liu Feng looked up at the vast sky. Liu Feng suddenly felt like an eagle that had been dormant for a long time. He was about to fly to the sky, rush to his own blue sky and fly freely.
The footsteps behind him interrupted Liu Feng's leisure. He lowered his head and immediately pretended to be drunk again.
"Son, I clearly told you just now. Why did you promise to go to the second county of Xiangdong?"
Turning around, Liu Feng saw Xu Shu with a worried face.
Liu Feng pretended to be puzzled and said with a smile, "I have seen my husband's hint, but I think the four southern counties are all mob. Although I don't have the same ability as my third uncle, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with those people, but I don't know why my husband wants me to refuse?"
Xu Shu frowned and approached Liu Feng and whispered, "Son, you don't know that the other three counties are indeed short of soldiers, but Changsha County has a very powerful veteran. This man is not only known as the first sword general in the south of the Yangtze River, but also has a lot of military talent. It is by no means an easy role to deal with."
In an instant, a name came to Liu Feng's mind. His expression changed slightly and he blurted out, "What sir is referring to is the veteran Huang Zhong!"
