Chapter 206 Bet

"Madam, what do you mean?" Liu Feng's face was surprised.

Sun Shangxiang said silently, "Husband, you are now under the enemy on all sides, and there is no available water army in your hand. If the water army in Jiangdong kills, how can you deal with it? In the current situation, I can only ask my second brother to retreat.

Sun Shangxiang likes martial arts. Although she doesn't care much about the military affairs, she can still see clearly the difficulties Liu Feng is facing.

Liu Feng knew that Sun Shangxiang had always been strong and never bowed to others. Now, she is willing to take the initiative to plead to her cold brother in a low voice for herself. For her, this must be a very difficult decision.

Everything she has done is for her husband.

Liu Feng's heart was moved, but then there was a kind of deep shame.

If a man is reduced to the point where he allows his woman to come out and rely on others to survive, how can he be regarded as a man? It would be a great shame.

Liu Feng shook his head and smiled and stroked her snow-white face. "I understand your heart, but I, Liu Feng, am a seven-foot man. How can I let my wife beg others in a low voice and spread it out? I, Liu Feng, have no face to live in the world?"

"But..." Sun Shangxiang's beautiful face showed a little anxiety, which was a kind of heartfelt care.

"There is nothing to do." Liu Feng interrupted her words, "What kind of person is Wu Hou? You should know best. In his eyes, there are only interests and no family affection. At present, he is full of trying to seize Jingzhou, not to mention you, a common sister. Even if the old lady begged him in person, he would never be soft-hearted.

One word, speechless.

Sun Shangxiang's heart trembled slightly, and a trace of chill surged behind her back.

Liu Feng is right. His second brother, Sun Quan, is simply a ruthless and cold-blooded person. In his eyes, he is just a bargaining chip that can be exchanged for benefits. It is futile to plead to such a person.

How could Sun Shangxiang not know this?

However, now she is watching her husband and being forced into a desperate situation by her ruthless brother, and she has such a special identity. This feeling of powerlessness makes Sun Shangxiang feel very uncomfortable.

"Husband..."

She couldn't say the pain in her heart. Liu Feng's understanding made her feel warm. At this moment, all she could do was to snuggle in his arms silently and say thousands of words in this quiet dependence.

Liu Feng held his wife tightly in his arms and stroked her watery hair. In addition to being moved, his strong anger rose like a flame.

Sun Quan, you are really bullying!

In Jingzhou, even if I, Liu Feng, die, I won't let you get it easily. At worst, let's fight to death. In the end, let Cao Jian clean up and kill you disgusting guy.

In anger, thoughts rolled like a tide, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Liu Feng's eyes.

..................Baqiu.

In the big account, Sun Quan lay diagonally on the bed, staring at the two huge official seals on the table. Between his eyebrows, he was full of complacency.

Jingzhou Mu and Cheqi General, after struggling for so many years, finally got this righteous title. The Sun family has not been able to achieve a high position for several generations, but now they have got it in the hands of my Sun Quan.

Father, you should be proud of me.

Brother, after all, you are just a brave general who gallops on the battlefield. I finally surpass you now.

When he was thinking about it, he suddenly came to the servant to report, saying that it was the governor Lu Su who asked to see him.

Zi Jing? He was not in Xiakou, and suddenly ran to Bachu to do something. Well, most of them wanted to persuade me to withdraw.

Sun Quan's good mood was suddenly broken. Despite this, in view of Lu Su's status, Sun Quan could not leave people outside.

"Please invite him in."

Sun Quan waved his hand, got up from Hu **, dressed a little, and regained his upright appearance.

For a moment, Lu Su entered with a solemn face. Looking at this expression, Sun Quan knew that he was right.

After Shi Li Fang, Sun Quan asked unhappily, "Zi Jing, you are not guarding in Xiakou. Why do you suddenly come to Bachu?"

"Master, I just heard an extremely important piece of information, which is of great importance, so I came to report it to the Lord in person." Lu Su looked solemn and solemn.

"What information?" Sun Quan vaguely felt a little unusual, and the disapproving look on his face was slightly restrained.

"Recently, there was news from Xiangyang that Liu Feng had sent thousands of troops back to the north. He not only frequently sent people to Nanyang to contact Cao Qian, but also reduced the garrison in Fancheng one by one. It was very suspicious."

"Is there such a thing?" Sun Quan was secretly surprised.

Fancheng is separated from Xiangyang. If Fancheng is there, the enemy in the north will not be able to face the Han River, and Xiangyang will not be directly exposed to the front of the Northern Army. Now Liu Feng has signs of taking the initiative to withdraw from Fancheng. From the perspective of guarding Xiangyang, this is indeed a very incomprehensible move.

Lu Su nodded and said, "The information is true, and our detailed work has also received the wind, saying that Liu Feng is likely to be bargaining with Cao Qian about the surrender."

Liu Feng is going to surrender to Cao!

A piece of news, like the cold winter wind, came to the bone, which made Sun Quan fight a cold war from the inside out in an instant.

"Liu Feng has always been tenacious, and he worked so hard to cheat Jingzhou. Is he really willing to give up everything and give it away?" Sun Quan doesn't seem to believe it.

"All kinds of signs show that Liu Feng is very likely to be ready to surrender Cao. It is no wonder that he is besieged on all sides. If he holds on, there is only one way to die. In such a desperate situation, it is not impossible for him to choose to surrender Cao."

Lu Su seems to be very sympathetic to Liu Feng's situation, but when he thinks about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be unreasonable.

In those years, when Cao Jian went south, he had enough troops and food, and he still had the idea of surrendering to Cao Jian. Now Liu Feng is facing such an unfavorable situation, and it is not impossible to surrender Cao Jian.

"Lord, if Liu Feng surrenders to Cao, the whole Jingzhou will once again fall into the hands of Cao Qian. This time, Cao Qian will definitely learn the last lesson. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to make the mistake of the Battle of the Red Cliff again, and the situation in my Eastern Wu will be extremely unfavorable."

Lu Su is not dangerous. Sun Quan listens with straight hair on his back. Thinking about the nightmarish heart before the Battle of Red Cliff, Sun Quan fought a cold war.

"If Liu Feng really has the intention to surrender Cao, how should we deal with it according to your opinion?" At this time, Sun Quan asked Lu Su again, and his attitude was completely opposite to that before.

Lu Su gently brushed a few sps of thin beards and said slowly, "Master, don't worry. It's easy to solve this matter. Liu Feng's surrender to Cao is nothing more than fear of the Lord. As long as the Lord makes a slight concession, regardless of the past, and re-establishes an alliance with Liu Feng, Liu Feng will naturally dispel the idea of surrendering Cao.

After a long detour, I finally turned back.

If Sun Quan heard that Lu Su advised him to give up attacking Jingzhou, he would have been very dissatisfied and find a reason for Lu Su to leave, but now, Sun Quan's mood is not so disgusted.

"Let me think about this matter again." Sun Quan said with his sleeves, looking a little disappointed.

"The world is unpredictable. Now the most important thing for us is time. I hope the Lord can make the right choice as soon as possible." When Lu Su was about to retreat, he did not forget to put a "life-threatening charm" on Sun Quan.

That night, Sun Quan stayed up all night.

He had thought that before Liu Feng surrendered Cao, he would kill the boy quickly, but when he thought of Liu Feng's record of beheading Guan Yu and Cao Ren, he was not sure of winning quickly.

After thinking about it, Sun Quan could only reluctantly admit that if Liu Fengguo really planned to surrender to Cao, he really had no better choice than Lu Su's proposal.

However, how arrogant I was before, with a domineering spirit that I would not take Jingzhou. Now the army has also been transferred, and the big words have been said. If I give in to Liu Feng like this and toss around for a long time, I will get nothing, where will this face be?

Sun Quan once again fell into a painful balance of pros and cons.

After the third day, Lu Su, who had returned to Xiakou, once again sent a warning to Sun Quan. Liu Feng's intention to surrender Cao had become more and more obvious, and Sun Quan could not hesitate any more.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Sun Quan gritted his teeth and asked himself over and over again at the huge map of Jingzhou on the screen.

I was distressed to see myself, and the bodyguard came to report, and someone outside the account asked for a meeting.

As soon as he heard the name of the person who came to see him, a complex look suddenly appeared on Sun Quan's face.

........................Public Security City.

It rained for three days, and finally came to an end this morning. The light of the morning glow, like a warm hand, gently stroked the uneasy public security city.

As usual, Liu Feng went to the city early in the morning to personally inspect the guarding of the door, checking the omissions and filling the gaps, and encouraging the soldiers. In this special period of black clouds, as the head of the three armies, Liu Feng must let the soldiers see his calmness and calmness. Only in this way can he appease their uneasy mood.

When patrolling to the East Gate, the messenger sent the letter of Pang Tong of Jiangling.

In the letter, it was said that the envoy of Cao Ying had returned. Cao Yan was very moved by his intention to surrender, but he is currently reporting to the imperial court to ask for the emperor's will, and then make the next arrangement of surrender.

A wry smile flashed at the corners of Liu Feng's mouth.

The so-called proposal to surrender to Cao is just Liu Feng's temporary plan to scare Sun Quan.

He ordered Wei Yan to release part of the soldiers, cut down Fancheng's garrison, and then ordered Pang Tong to arrange people to go to Nanyang to contact Cao Qian. All his actions were just a play for Sun Quan.

Such a strategy can't be concealed from Cao Qian's old and slippery eyes. He asked the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, which was clearly deliberately procrastinating and creating time for Sun Quan.

Liu Feng knew that Sun Quan would definitely think of how much of his so-called surrender to Cao was an act. However, up to now, Liu Feng has no choice but to gamble. He can only gamble on Sun Quan. He dares not believe it.

The letter has just been received. In the direction of the riverside water camp, a whistle rode in the dust.

Lu Fan, the messenger of Eastern Wu, has arrived.
