Chapter 265 The Last Way

Liu Feng was stationed on the trestle and watched the warships slowly sailing back to Ruxu Dock.

Liu Feng was a little strange. Since Ling Tong and others dared to do this dangerous move, they were bound to hold the belief that they would not succeed.

But now, since Ling Tong and others have known that they have been defeated, they do not escape and return to Ruxuwu, which is a little unexpected.

Is it true that Ling Tong and others are afraid of death?

No, it shouldn't be.

Liu Feng did not order the navy to annihilate them because he couldn't figure it out, but let them into Hong Kong to see what their purpose was.

The ship docked, and hundreds of soldiers gathered around.

The bridge board was put down, and Ling Tong, Pan Zhang and Zhou Xun all bowed their heads and walked off the boat silently.

"Master, these unbeliefs dare to try to commit murder on the Lord. Why don't you kill them as an example?"

The veteran Yan Yan was always angry, with a murderous look on his face.

Ling Tong and others tried to take advantage of the opportunity of surrender to lure themselves. If such a move is normal, with Liu Feng's surname, he will definitely kill and stand up.

But now, Liu Feng can't be so cruel.

Zhou Yu has 70,000 soldiers in his hand, including half of Yangzhou and the whole of Xuzhou.

At the time, although Liu Feng can kill Ling Tong and other generations, there are still tens of thousands of people such as Shouchun and Jiang Qin on the front line.

If this move makes Jiang Qin and others afraid of Cao Yan in the north, or openly confront him, it will take a lot of effort at that time.

Under the balance, Liu Feng temporarily suppressed the murderous intention and said lightly, "Let's see what they have to say first."

Ling Tong and Pan Zhang silently walked to Liu Feng in front of the indignant eyes of the Jingzhou army.

"General Ling, I, Liu Feng, treat each other with sincerity, but you repay me like this, which really chills me." Liu Feng was on the horse and sighed with disappointment.

Ling Tong took a step forward, lay on one knee, put a silk book on both hands, and said silently, "This is the suicide note written by the governor of Zhou to the general. He explained before his death. If we fail, we will give this book to the general for a look."

Zhou Yu's suicide note?

After listening to Ling Tong's words, did Zhou Yu have expected that his trick would be miscalculated?

"Bret it and show it to me."

Under Liu Feng's suspicion, he became more curious and wanted to see what Zhou Yu would say to himself.

I took the letter and opened the silk book. The handsome handwriting jumped into my eyes one by one.

The content of the letter is very simple.

At the beginning, there is a sentence of sorry. I also designed Liu Feng before I died.

Then, Zhou Yu claimed in the letter that his plan was just to calm the unwillingness of the people, hoping that Liu Feng could understand.

Finally, Zhou Yu also said that Ling Tong and others were loyal and brave. Before he died, he had told them that once this plan failed, they would turn to be loyal to Liu Feng, hoping that Liu Feng could forgive them with a big heart.

After reading this letter, Liu Feng couldn't help sighing with emotion.

Previously, he was still glad to see through Zhou Yu's plan, but now when he saw this letter, he realized that Zhou Lang had long known that his plan would fail.

Liu Feng suddenly had a feeling that the "farce" played by Ling Tong and others at this time seemed to be more like an old friend and made a joke with him.

"We are all willing to serve General Liu, but if the general does not forgive my sins, he can cut me off to relieve my anger, and we have no regrets."

Ling Tong hugged his fist, and his tone was generous and true.

At this moment, Liu Feng's anger passed away quietly.

He turned over and got off the horse, helped Ling Tong and others up, stared at them with a smile, and said happily, "If I can get your help, why don't I, Liu Feng, worry about it? Let's work together to create a hegemony."

########## Luoyang City.

A heavy rain passed, and there were still black clouds overhead, as if it were a bigger storm, and it was about to fall soon.

In the high-door mansion, the middle-aged man, who was seven feet long and indifferent, was walking up the steps outside the lobby.

The cool wet wind, with the smell of some soil, came through the courtyard.

The three-inch black-and-white beard moves with the wind, and the wide robe roars with the wind.

A small step came. He raised his head. In his vision, the man who hurriedly came to him was Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji was originally from Chu Guoping. When he was young, he was famous in Jianghuai. After defecting to Cao Qian, he was transferred to Yangzhou.

In the battle of Jiangling, in order to relieve the pressure of Jiangling, Zhou Yu used Pang Tong's plan to ask Sun Quan to lead the army to attack Hefei.

At that time, Cao Qian only sent Zhang Xi, the general of Runan, to lead more than a thousand steps to relieve the help of Hefei. At that time, Jiang Ji offered a plan to the assassin and fraudulently claimed that he had received a letter from Zhang Xi. Fourty thousand of them were close to Hefei. He repaired the three paths and sent messengers to Hefei to inform the generals.

As a result, as soon as he entered the city, the other two other envoys were captured by Wu Jun. Sun Quanxin thought it was true. On the same day, he was so scared that he burned the camp and returned to the south of the Yangtze River. As a result, Hefei was preserved.

Since then, Jiang Ji has repeatedly made suggestions and gradually been recognized by Cao Qian. After several promotions, he has now been appointed as the right middle general.

"Zhong Da, there is such a big thing in the south, but you are very leisurely." In Jiang Ji's smile, there was a little sarcasm.

The Zhongda in Jiang Ji's mouth is Sima Yi of Hanoi.

Sima's family is a famous family in Hanoi, and Sima Yi is quite famous in Shilin. At that time, Cao Yu valued his name and repeatedly recruited, and Sima Yi had to choose to become an official.

As a result, Sima Yi has "the appearance of the wolf". Although he was an official, he was not used for heavy use. At present, he is only a member of the Eastern Cao of the prime minister's mansion.

However, these two are close friends in private.

Sima Yi suddenly smiled on his indifferent face, and he entered with Jiang Ji.

The guest sat down, and Sima Yi smiled and said, "I have been feeling the cold recently. I have been resting at home. I don't know what's new in the south?"

Jiang Ji took a sip of tea and slowly made Zhou Yu stand on his own. Liu Feng destroyed Wu. Then Zhou Yu died of illness. Before his death, he sent Lianghuai to Liu Feng and other things in one breath.

It's all right, Jiang Ji said again, "Now Liu Fengxiong, according to the land of Jing, Yi, Jiao, Yang and Xu Wuzhou, with no less than 300,000 soldiers with armor, has become the largest prince in the world, Zhong Da, do you think this is a big deal?"

Jiang Ji has been an official in Yangzhou for many years and has a lot of old knowledge. Therefore, he knows what happened in the southeast even faster than Cao Qian.

"This Liu Feng is really not simple. I didn't expect Liu Xuande to raise such a good son..."

Sima Yi's response is just a plain sigh.

Jiang Jibian flattened the corners of his mouth and complained, "Zhong Da, now is not the time to sigh. The general trend of the world has changed. You and I should prepare in advance."

"You mean..." Sima Yi frowned slightly.

Previously, when Cao Jian took advantage of Liu Sun's competition, he took the opportunity to withdraw his troops to attack Tongguan. He wanted to destroy Liu Bei first and take back Guanlong.

But Cao Yan didn't expect that Liu Bei won the hearts of the people in the customs, and it was not easy to attack. The two sides were deadlocked in Tongguan for several months, but there was no progress.

And when Liu Bei and Cao Qian couldn't fight, Liu Feng swallowed almost everything in Eastern Wu within a few months.

In the current situation, Liu Feng has obviously replaced Cao Qian and become the first hegemon in the world, and the strength of the north and the south has been reversed. This is exactly what Jiang Ji refers to as "the general trend of the world has changed".

Jiang Ji stood up and went to the door and glanced outside. Seeing that the wall was deaf, he turned around and came back to Sima Yi.

He lowered his voice and almost whispered: "Liu Feng's next goal must be to enter the Central Plains in the north, and Prime Minister Cao was attacked by Er Liu. In my opinion, he was mostly unable to resist. The Central Plains is about to change hands. How can we not prepare early?

"Oh." Sima Yi answered casually.

Jiang Ji was unhappy and grinned, "Zhong Da, don't look like you're not angry. There are no outsiders here. It's a big change. If you don't make up your mind, who will make the decision.

Sima Yi smiled. He stood up, hugged his chest with one hand and touched his chin with the other, and paced slowly in the hall.

After a long time, a trace of cunning flashed through his eyes.

##########Tongguan.

In the big tent, Cao Tie was blue-faced and sat there motionless.

I have never felt so depressed in my life.

Even if Yanzhou rebelled and was almost forced to be homeless by Chen Gong and Lv Bu, he was never discouraged.

But now, Cao Wei feels a kind of loss from the bottom of his heart.

Just a few months ago, he received information from Yanzhou. Zhou Yu, Sun Quan, Liu Feng, and three Jiangnan heroes showed signs of fighting to the death.

At that time, he confidently thought that he could take the opportunity to deal with Liu Bei, and then turn around to deal with the three defeated princes in the south.

But now, it seems that the embankment of thousands of miles has collapsed everywhere, and the situation in the world is like a flood coming out of the dike, which is completely beyond his control and imagination.

Am I old?

Cao Jian looked at the information in his hand about Liu Feng's unification of the south, and he had a strong doubt in his heart.

"Liu Feng has unified the south. What do you think?" Cao Zhen put down the information in his hand, looked at the counselors around him, and asked in a low voice.

No one said anything.

Cao Qian turned his eyes to Liu Ye. Liu Ye hesitated for a moment and had to say, "After Liu Feng unified the south, the next step must be to march on Luoyang from Nanyang and Xuzhou. The Prime Minister must be on guard."

"What's the prevention method?" Cao Wei asked coldly.

"This..." Wisdom is like Liu Ye, and it is difficult to solve this dilemma for a while, and he can't help sweating on his forehead.

Looking at the other counselors, they all bowed their heads and dodged Cao's eyes, all with a look of shame.

Finally, Cao Jian fixed his eyes on Jia Xu, an old fox that made him love and hate.

The last time, it was his serial plan that made Cao Yan lose Nanyang and Guan Long, and completely lost his advantage over the south.

Cao Shen is naturally deeply resentful of this.

But now, Cao Shen also knows that except for this person, I'm afraid that no one can solve his problem.

Cao Jian's expression softened a little and asked, "Wen He, what's your opinion?"

Jia Xu coughed softly and said lightly, "I think that in the current situation, the Prime Minister has only a choice to reverse this dilemma."

"What choice?" Cao Zhen's spirit was revitalizing.

"Join with Liu Bei to fight against Liu Feng."
