Chapter 174 Saving and not saving

Take a chance!

Gan Ning's words surprised Liu Feng and others, but on second thought, it seemed reasonable.

During the battle of Jiangling, Zhou Yu was injured by an arrow, and her body was getting worse and worse. It was known to everyone in the world. With the matter of Nanjun, it was estimated that he was half-dead by Wuhou. I heard that he could only stay in bed at the home of Muling, and it was estimated that there was not much time.

Gan Ning is Zhou Yu's relatives. In order to treat Zhou Yu's illness, he did not hesitate to pull his son to ask for Zhang Zhongjing. Not only is it reasonable, but this thought is really touching.

However, touching alone is not enough to impress Liu Feng and save Zhou Yu. It is not only about personal feelings, but also about the overall situation of Liu Feng's future.

A living Zhou Yu, with his unworldly talent, is enough to have an impact on this game of chess in the world. As a force in this chess game, it is impossible for Liu Feng to think about it more.

"General Gan's mood is understood by my master, but now our Liu Zhoumu is also seriously ill and needs Dr. Zhang's treatment and conditioning. I'm afraid that Dr. Zhang is out of time."

Before Liu Feng could speak, Liu Ba refused euphemistically and lent it to Liu Qi in the name of treating the disease. This reason seemed to be impeccable.

However, everyone who knows Liu Qi's condition knows that Liu Qi's illness is actually hopeless. Zhang Zhongjing has done everything he can for Liu Qi. At present, Liu Qi is just using drugs to maintain his life and waiting for the day when the deadline comes. As for whether Zhang Ji is around or not, it is actually meaningless.

Obviously, Liu Ba believed that Zhou Yu was a threat to his side, and it was better to sit back and watch this person die of illness.

Liu Feng knows very well that the alliance with Dongwu is only temporary. In this era of fighting for every inch of land, turning against Sun Quan is only sooner or later. If Zhou Yu is still alive at that time, it must be a great threat to himself. If he really wants to go to war, it is obvious that Zhou Yu is much more difficult to deal with than Lu Su.

Liu Feng coughed a few times and was about to follow Liu Ba's paving. He refused euphemistically. At this time, Pang Tong smiled and said, "Liu Zhoumu's illness actually just needs to be slowly recuperating. In my opinion, Dr. Zhang does not need to be around all the time. Since Xingba asked for it, it's all his own family, I think it's better to let Zhang Let's go to the magic doctor.

Pang Tong's attitude is completely opposite to that of Liu Ba. Obviously, Pang Tong intends to save Zhou Yu. As for why to save him, Liu Feng can't figure out why for the time being. However, since Pang Tong's claim is like this, it must make sense.

Between Liu Ba and Pang Tong, there is no doubt that Liu Feng chose to stand on Pang Tong's side.

So, Liu Feng swallowed the polite refusal that had slipped to his mouth, and his expression suddenly changed from hesitation to cheerful. He said happily, "I am Wuhou's brother-in-law, and Zhou Dudu is also the same brother as Wuhou. In this way, everyone is actually a family. Now that Zhou Dudu is sick, how can I sit down? I don't care."

As soon as he said this, Liu Patton was shocked and gave a blind look, but Liu Feng only pretended not to know.

Gan Ning was extremely happy. He hurriedly got up and bowed to Liu Feng: "General's great kindness, Ning is unforgettable. Please accept Gan's worship."

Gan Ning said and knelt down. Liu Feng quickly jumped up and held him, stroked his shoulder and said with a smile, "It's all my family. If Xingba sees it like this, I will feel bad."

Although Liu Feng is young, his temperament is extremely admired by Gan Ning.

"I arranged for Dr. Zhang Shen to leave for the mausoleum tomorrow morning. Today, Xingba will stay in my Linxiang. I have heard for a long time that your martial arts are excellent. We just drink wine and learn martial arts. Isn't it happy?"

Gan Ning smiled proudly and stroked his palm and said, "Okay, the general has such an elegant move, and Gan should accompany him."

Between the host and guest, the friendship between the host and the guest has become a friendship of confidants, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

After a few more words, Liu Feng ordered Gan Ning to be sent to the hall to rest first, and then set up a banquet to entertain him in the evening.

As soon as Gan Ning left, Liu Ba, who had been reluctant to bear it, immediately said unhappily, "Master, I have hinted again and again that Dr. Zhang should not be allowed to treat Zhou Yu. Why did the master still agree?"

"Zhou Lang has won the hearts of the army and civilians in Dongwu. If he can help him cure his injury, it is equivalent to another powerful helper in Jiangdong. Why not do it?" In Liu Feng's opinion, what he said is also a reason.

Liu Ba shook his head and said, "The lord's words are bad. The three generations of the Sun family have been looking at Jingzhou for a long time, sooner or later. Once the time is ripe, they will annex Jingzhou. This will not change because the lord and Wuhou are married. Zhou Yu is a famous general in the world. If Wu Hou uses it to attack Jingzhou, it will be extremely difficult to deal with. How can the lord take the initiative to save such a potential threat if he does not take the opportunity to eliminate it?

Liu Ba's reason is also the direct reason why Liu Feng was going to refuse. At this time, Liu Ba said that Liu Feng was not refuted, so he had to turn his eyes to Pang Tong, who had been smiling and asked, "Mr. Shi Yuan, you just now to save Zhou Yu. I think your reason is the same as me. You might as well talk to Mr. Zichu."

Liu Feng threw the burden to Pang Tong.

"Zichu, imagine, if you worked hard for Wu Hou to win the Battle of Red Cliff, defeated Nanjun, and was injured by an arrow, and in order to prevent you from supporting troops, Wu Hou did not hesitate to hand over the territory you worked hard to give to others, and took advantage of your military power when you were sick, after you were treated like this. Will you still work hard for Wuhou?

Pang Tong did not answer directly, but used a hypothetical rhetorical question to show his reason.

This speech made Liu Feng suddenly realize that he really admired Pang Tong's deep eyes.

Pang Tong is right. After being treated unfairly by Sun Quan, as long as Zhou Yu is not an idiot, he will definitely have a grudge against Sun Quan in his heart, and how can he work for Sun Quan faithfully?

In this way, if Zhou Yu is saved, he will not only not make an enemy for himself, but also lay the groundwork for dealing with Sun Quan in the future.

Liu Ba is a smart man. How could he not understand what Pang Tong said so? Despite this, he still worriedly, "What Shi Yuan said is not unreasonable, but it's just a hypothesis after all. What if Zhou Yu is not what you think of Shi Yuan? We can't take such a big risk just because of a hypothesis.

"How can those who achieve great things not take some risks? If my expectation is good, the risk we take now will have an immeasurable return in the future." Pang Tong insisted on his own opinion.

Liu Ba still did not give in and said, "What if your speculation is wrong? Then who should bear the consequences?

Liu Ba's tone was vaguely questioning, which made people feel that his mentality at this moment did not seem to be to talk about the matter, but to argue with Pang Tong back before he was willing to give up.

Liu Feng heard a little gunpowder. He knew that Liu Ba was dissatisfied with Pang Tong.

It's no wonder that Liu Ba was originally the first civil minister under Liu Feng's command. Since Xiangdong's establishment, Liu Ba has indeed worked hard for Liu Feng. Liu Feng can have the strength of today. Liu Ba can be said to have contributed a great contribution, and Liu Ba himself thinks so.

But Liu Feng is very clear that Liu Ba's achievements are nothing more than Chen Ping's, while Pang Tong's plan is Xiao He and Zhang Liang's achievements. Liu Feng knows which is more important.

However, everyone saw Liu Ba's achievements, while Pang Tong's achievements, after he joined his own camp, Liu Feng told everyone that it did not seem to be so heavy. When Pang was unified, Liu Feng appointed him as the chief envoy of the Zhennan General's Mansion and became the head of the officials. Liu Ba didn't say anything, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

The depression in the bottom of my heart is now just breaking out with the help of Gan Ning.

The great cause has not been completed, and the internal gentleman is fighting. This is the big taboo of the country. Liu Feng doesn't know that Liu Ba's behavior is really a little private waste of the public, and Liu Feng's heart suddenly became angry.

When he was about to attack, Pang Tong looked at Liu Ba coldly and said slowly, "It's my idea to take the opportunity, and I will naturally bear all the consequences. If Zhou Yu dares to take revenge and threaten the lord in the future, I, Pang Tong, will make him take the lead with a strange plan.

With his confident guarantee, Pang Tong carried the burden alone. With such a guarantee, Liu Ba immediately counterattacked without words.

"Shi Yuan, Zhou Yu is not a good man. Are you sure you can deal with him?" Liu Ba's tone and expression have eased a lot.

Pang Tong's expression also returned to normal. He smiled and said, "If I don't have this ability, how can I be worthy of the name of 'Phoenix Chu' on my head? Zichu, can't you trust my strategy?"

Pang Tong was born in the four major families of Jingxiang. He is as famous as Zhuge Liang. Although Liu Ba is also a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, he is a little inferior to Pang Tong's name. At present, Pang Tong has moved out his "Phoenix" name, and Liu Ba is naturally not qualified to question it.

After a moment of sank, Liu Ba smiled faintly: "Shi Yuan's wisdom is unparalleled. How can I not believe it? In fact, I am also just an assumption of the Lord. Since Shi Yuan is so confident, I will wait and see."

Under Pang Tong's strong self-confidence, Liu Ba finally made a concession.

"You are all thinking about the common cause for me and us. Naturally, I know this. Let's let this matter go. Next, we should have a good discussion on how to train troops to promote agriculture..."

Liu Feng pretended to be relaxed and ended the gunpowder-filled debate, but he was conjecting how to calm Liu Ba's psychological gap and strangle this sign in the cradle.

Gan Ning's visit was just a small episode. Shortly after he left, Liu Feng, according to Liu Ba's proposal, in the name of Liu Qi Jingzhou Mu, sent people to the southern Jiaozhou to widely publicize it. However, for the people who returned from Jiaozhou to Changsha and Guiyang, the government will lend them farm tools and seeds at low interest rates to help them open up fields, and Any land that opens up wasteland can be exempted for two years.

Previously, when Cao Wei went south, many people in Jingzhou were afraid of war and fled to Jiaozhou in the south.

Because Sun Quan has made it clear that he intends to get involved in Jiaozhou, Liu Feng is naturally unable to compete for this state by force. Moreover, Jiaozhou and Jingzhou are separated from mountains and rivers. Even if it is captured, the state's people's power and wealth cannot be far away from Jingzhou, and it cannot be a help for him to achieve great cause.

Therefore, after several discussions, Liu Ba came up with such a "seductive" strategy.

Aren't you Sun Quan going to take Jiaozhou? That's good for you. I won't argue with you. However, those people who think about their hometown take the initiative to leave Jiaozhou and return to their hometown. You Sun Quan have nothing to say.

In a blink of an eye, winter and spring are coming. Under this policy of benefiting the people, nearly 10,000 people in Jingzhou have returned to the north in a season, and this number is still increasing.

Just as Liu Feng was gratified for this, on this day, a shocking news came back to Linxiang:

Ma Han and other ten princes in Kansai have rebelled against Cao!
