Chapter 178 Borrowing Power

The blood that had been silent for two years was once again ignited by Liu Feng's ambition at this moment.

Everyone's eyes fell on the young master. They seemed to go back to the moment when Liu Feng announced the rise two years ago, and the excitement and excitement of the time returned to them again.

After an impassioned shout of war, Liu Ba said, "Sir, now is indeed the best time to be all in Jingzhou. However, although Liu Bei transferred a large number of main forces, Guan Yu still has 20,000 soldiers in his hands, and there are no less than 500 naval warships. The strength is comparable to ours, and even has a slight advantage. Even if he wants to start the war, We must also discuss a perfect solution.

Liu Ba is a 100% firm promoter in the war against Liu Bei, but this does not affect his caution as always.

At this time, Ma Yu stood up and said, "In Jingzhou, where Liu Bei is located, the south county is the most important. As long as we can concentrate our forces to take the south county, we can not only block Liu Bei's return, but also the rest of the counties will inevitably surrender without a fight. Therefore, I think the key to this battle is how to quickly capture South County.

Ma's statement is obviously a plan in his heart.

Liu Feng understood and said happily, "What You Chang said is very true, but the south county, Jingzhou Xiping, as for how to take the south county, you must have a good policy in your heart."

Ma Yan did not hesitate and said bluntly, "The most important thing in the southern county is only in Jiangling, and the public security on the south bank is the barrier of Jiangling, so I thought that our army should take public security quickly with a strange strategy, and then attack Jiangling with a large army. As long as these two cities are one, the rest of the cities can be passed on by themselves."

Jiangling and public security, these two cities are indeed the core of Nan County, and Ma Yu is the key point.

"Rearly, it is said that Guan Yu has added a lot of beacons along the river. As long as our army moves, Guan Yu can report immediately. At that time, don't say that we can't make a surprise attack on the two cities. Guan Yu may even take the initiative to counterattack with the advantage of the water army. Youchang, your plan is easy to say, but I'm afraid it's difficult to do.

In terms of military planning, Ma's ability obviously exceeds that of Liu Ba. Liu Ba can only raise his concerns, but there is no solution. However, this time, his concerns are not unreasonable.

Guan Yu is a famous general in the world. If Liu Bei dares to keep him in Jingzhou, there must be a reason to be trusted. Regardless of anything else, the beacon strategy mentioned by Liu Ba alone proves that Guan Yu has indeed made up his mind to prevent Liu Feng.

At this time, even Ma Yan was speechless. He was able to come up with a surprise strategy, but in the face of Guan Yu's strict defense, there was nothing he could do for a while.

All the scruples mentioned by Liu Ba and the strategy of using soldiers mentioned by Ma Yan. In fact, in the past two years, Liu Feng and Pang Tong have studied it in private for more than two years. In fact, the current situation has long been expected by the two of them. As for how to deal with it, in fact, Liu Feng has also been in his mind for a long time.

"Mr. Shi Yuan, what do you think?" Liu Feng turned his eyes to Pang Tong, who had been smiling and speechless.

In order to establish Pang Tong's prestige among the staff, Liu Feng will of course give up this opportunity to Pang Tong at such a critical moment.

Pang Tong gently brushed his short beard, and in his two seam-like eyes, he revealed a mysterious light, as if he had been a plan, and all kinds of calculations were under his control.

When Liu Feng asked, Pang Tong stood up and looked around the crowd and said slowly, "Don't worry about how to seize Jingzhou. I, Pang Tong, already have a good plan in my mind. I'm afraid the most critical step in this is to take advantage of your name.

"Me?" Liu Ba looked stunned and suddenly looked puzzled.

..................Wuling, the bank of Xiongxi.

In the night, the majestic middle-aged man sat quietly on a big stone by the stream, leaving his dark and curly hair scattered on his shoulders, looking up at the starry night sky.

In the sky, the scattered thin clouds are gathering rapidly, and even the most brave birds have disappeared.

The wind blew up, rolling through the undulating mountains, shaking the layers of forest seas, and the rustling sound all over the mountains became louder and louder, converging with the sound of streams in my ears, gradually forming a huge sound like a sea wave.

The man seems to be immersed in the weirdness of the night.

This barbarian king of Wuxi is tall and muscular, as majestic as a fierce lion. His angular face exudes a primitive heroism. In the cold eyes, there was a forceful chill.

A smell of meat came from his nose. Samoke looked back, but in the camp, the bonfires flashed around like dots. The clans were baking the prey they had just hit on the fire. Under the firelight, in addition to the rising smoke, there were also the cheerful smiling faces of the clans.

It has been three years, and it has been the third year since Shamoco succeeded to the throne of Wuxi Barbarian King.

The origin of the five streams is that they live on the banks of the five streams of the Yuan water. These five streams are Xiongxi, Xixi, Chenxi, Youxi and Wuxi. Among them, Xiongxi is the most powerful, so with the strength of the tribe, Samoco was elected as the leader by the five tribes three years ago.

Wuxi Man is the title of the Han people, and they themselves call themselves Wuxi people, and their leader is called the king.

Over the past three years, Shamoke, with his own means, has successively worked with the three Wuling Taishou appointed by Liu Biao, Cao Jian and Liu Bei, greatly reducing the amount of taxes to be paid by the five ethnic groups. Under this, the tribes live in harmony. Nowadays, the old and young of the tribes can finally reach the level of food and clothing.

Shamoco's reputation among the tribes has increased and is deeply supported by the clans, but somehow, the clans find that their king always likes to be alone at night. It seems that there is still an unknown melancholy in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Liu Ba from Changsha sent a secret envoy to see the king." A young man interrupted Samoko's mind.

Liu Ba is a famous scholar of Lingling, and Lingling is similar to the folk customs of Wuling. Even the local barbarians have a little respect for this famous scholar of Lingling.

Hearing Liu Ba's name, Shakomo's expression moved and jumped down from the big stone and walked to the camp with the wind.

Beside the leather tent, a group of shawls of elders sat around the fire. Several Wuxi girls in leather skirts were smiling and offering the newly roasted mutton to the polite Han humanist.

Wuxi people value righteousness. They have always paid attention to others' respect for one inch, and I respect others for one foot. The Han officials here have always disdained the Wuxi barbarians. It is rare for such a Han people to treat them so kindly and politely. These Wuxi girls are happy and naturally serve them happily.

After a while, Samoke came forward, and all the people got up one after another and shouted "King". Samoke waved his hand and motioned everyone to sit down, and he sat on the tiger skin seat set up for him in the middle.

When the scribe saw that the barbarian king had arrived, he quickly got up and saluted: "I'm Chen Zhen, I've seen the king."

Samoco only nodded slightly, which was a gift. With sharp eyes, he glanced at Chen Zhen up and down and said coldly, "I heard that you came to see me on the order of Liu Ba. What's the matter?"

Such words, and the name of Liu Ba, in the eyes of the Han people, are extremely rude, but there are not so many rules in the world, and their speeches are straight.

Chen Zhen didn't think so. He just smiled faintly, took out a silk book from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "Mr. Zichu has a secret letter for me to pass on to the king. Please have a look."

Shamoke waved his hand, "I can't read. What's wrong with you? Just read it out loud to me."

Chen Zhen was also dealing with these barbarians for the first time. Obviously, he was a little uncomfortable with this straightforward way of communication. He coughed a few times to hide his inner embarrassment.

After a pause, Chen Zhen unfolded the silk book and read it out loudly in front of many people.

Liu Ba is a contemporary famous scholar. The letters are written with eudonyms, but they have been "the same" for a long time, but Shamoke didn't understand a sentence.

Listening and listening, Samoke said impatiently, "What the hell is written in Liu Ba's letter? I can't understand a word. What he wants to say, you simply talk to me."

Chen Zhen had to put the letter away. He took a look at the many ears and eyes, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this matter is confidential. Can I talk about it separately with the King?"

Shamoco looked unhappy and shouted, "Our Wuxi brothers and sisters treat each other sincerely. There is nothing to hide from each other. Don't worry."

Chen Zhen has no other choice but to be like a barbarian. If he hesitates again, he seems to have no courage.

At the moment, Chen Zhen cleared his throat and said loudly, "In fact, Mr. Zichu's letter is ordered by the general of my Zhennan. He wants to invite the king to raise up the soldiers of the five streams and attack Linyuan of Wulingzhi, and my general will respond."

Although Shamoke was uneducated, he still understood Chen Zhen's words. He couldn't help but be secretly shocked, and the barbarian elders around him also changed color one after another.

Shamoke was surprised, but his face was calm. He laughed and said, "Your General Liu wants me to betray Uncle Liu. Then I would like to ask, I betray Uncle Liu. What benefits can your general give us to the Wuxi people?"

Barbarians are indeed barbarians, and they can ask for benefits so bluntly.

Chen Zhen was well prepared and replied very simply, "If the king can help my general seize Wuling County, my general will naturally have a lot of rewards, and these rewards are still what you dream of."

"Hey hey, I'd like to hear what your general can do in return." Samoko tilted the corners of his mouth and seemed to be a little unbelief.

It's no wonder that in Shamoke's eyes, Liu Feng is just a little prince who only occupies two counties. Compared with the "rich" Liu Bei, he can have something to thank him.

Chen Zhen was not in a hurry to express Liu Feng's conditions.

After listening to Chen Zhen's conditions, the elders around him couldn't help but look happy. Even Samoco, who didn't think so before, couldn't help showing a trace of excitement in his eyes at this moment.
