Chapter 131 Tips
There is only one line of elegant and free words on the silk book: get married in Jiangdong to control Xuande.
But it was this line of words that made Liu Feng suddenly have a kind of enlightenment.
The reason why Sun Quan and Liu Bei can form an alliance is that the two sides have a common enemy, but the alliance itself has an irrevocable hidden danger - the ownership of Jingzhou.
After the Battle of Red Cliff, the reason why Sun Quan acquiesced to Liu Bei's take the southern four counties was largely because Cao Wei was still his most threatening enemy at present, but this did not mean that Sun Quan was relieved of Liu Bei. No wonder that Sun Quan was not even worried about Zhou Yu, and how could he rest assured Liu Bei, an outsider.
So, now Liu Feng and Liu Bei's reaction is naturally what Sun Quan is happy to see. In this way, it is equivalent to putting a time bomb behind Liu Bei. If Sun Quan doesn't bother himself, he can use Liu Feng as a move to contain Liu Bei.
To put himself in the other's shoes, Liu Feng thought that Sun Quan's ideas must be consistent with his own.
Pang Tong's sentence "married with Jiangdong to control Liu Bei" should imply that he took the initiative to form an in-law with Sun Quan. In this way, with this level of relationship, Liu Bei had no choice. Even if he was reluctant, he had to withdraw his troops, because Liu Bei knew very well that with his current strength, he could not turn against Sun Quan at all.
"Pang Tong, Pang Tong, you are really expected."
After figured out the key to solving the crisis, Liu Feng summoned Liu Ba, Ma Yu and other generations to discuss the matter overnight.
The rain outside the hall, the lights in the hall are swaying, and in the dim yellow light, everyone's face is a little tired. Obviously, Xu Shu's "poisonous plan" that flooded Linxiang has tortured everyone enough.
Liu Feng looked around at the tired faces, with a confident look, and said loudly, "Guys, I have already thought of the plan to retreat from the enemy."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was refreshed. Liu Feng's words, like giving them a stimulant, aroused their emotions in an instant.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and waited for Liu Feng to say his so-called strategy to retreat from the enemy.
"Zi Chu, the Sun clan in Jiangdong, how many women are there in the boudoir?"
Liu Feng's inexplicable sentence stunned everyone. For a moment, they didn't understand that there were several unmarried women in the Wuhou family, and it was none of the matter of retreating the enemy.
Liu Ba was stunned for a moment, touched her forehead with her fingertips and said, "Well... Wu Hou is still young, and the daughters of her knees are all young. If there is anyone else in the Sun family who is waiting for the boudoir, counting, only Wu Hou's half-sister is left, which seems to be called..."
Liu Ba's eyebrows were slightly condensed, and she couldn't remember the name of "Wuhou's half-sister" for a moment.
"Sun Shangxiang." Liu Feng said it for him.
Liu Ba patted her forehead: "It's Sun Shangxiang. This woman is said to be the be the bereaved son of Sun Wentai, the father of the Marquis of Wu. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she has always liked martial arts. Now she is nearly 20 years old, but she is still unmarried, and she is also a strange woman."
Women in this era usually get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen. At the age of twenty, they are in their youth in later generations, but at this time, they are already the standard "old leftover women". Liu Ba's "strange woman" is not so much praise as sarcasm.
Fate is really an interesting thing. If you believe it, you have it. If you don't believe it, you don't have it. At this moment, Liu Feng suddenly had an illusion, as if there was really a pair of hands called fate, connecting him with the woman named Sun Shangxiang.
"Your lord, your strategy to retreat from the enemy, shouldn't it be..." Ma's words broke Liu Feng's mind. He seemed to have guessed Liu Feng's intention.
Liu Feng no longer beat around the bush and said calmly, "Yes, I plan to marry Wu Hou to marry this Miss Sun Shangxiang. With the help of Sun Wu's power, I will force Liu Bei to withdraw."
Those present were all smart people. Liu Feng's words were so clear that they immediately understood his intention, so Liu Feng's decision did not cause any waves.
Liu Bameiyu was a little excited: "Sun Liu's alliance is beautiful and Shenli. Wu Hou must also be happy to let us and Liu Bei check and balance each other. The lord's plan is also a good choice."
"It's the only choice!" Liu Feng stood up and pointed to the flood outside the hall. "As soon as the water recedes, the plague will rise. At that time, Liu Bei will take advantage of the situation to attack again. Even if we are determined to die, it will not help. Except for the marriage with Sun Wu, we have a second way to go."
Everyone looked awe-inspiring. After a moment of silence, Ma Yan said, "The Lord's words are reasonable. At present, only this strategy can solve the danger of Linxiang. But I don't know who the Lord is going to send to propose marriage to Wuhou?
Liu Feng paced in the hall and ponded for a long time, "If you send someone else to propose marriage, I'm afraid Linxiang City will be insured for a long time. I must go to see Wuhou in person this trip. Only in this way can I persuade Wuhou to put pressure on Liu Bei and force him to retreat before Linxiang City breaks down."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was immediately shocked.
Huang Zhong hurriedly said, "After all, Wu Hou and Liu Bei are still in the alliance. If the lord goes to Jiangdong alone, if there is a slight difference, will the general trend go away?"
Huang Zhong's worries are also the concerns of others, and everyone is busy persuading them one after another.
Liu Feng smiled indifferently: "Now all possible surnames are based on the premise of assumptions. As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger's son? Even if there are all kinds of risks on this trip, I have to take this risk for the great cause of me and you."
The overall situation is like this. Everyone knows that it is useless to persuade again. Although they do not want Liu Feng to be involved in danger, they also know very well that if Liu Feng does not take this risk, then they will face the tragic end of Cheng**'s death.
In public and private, they must fully support Liu Feng.
Suddenly, Huang Zhongteng stood up, looked solemn, and sighed, "Lord, you can rest assured to go to Jiangdong. As for this Linxiang City, I, Huang Zhong, can guarantee that the city is full of people, and the city will die!"
"Lord, I lied to Guan Yu three times. I don't want to wait for him to break the city and dismember my five horses." Ma Yan also expressed his determination to persevere with a joking word.
What Liu Feng was most worried about was not that he went to Jiangdong to propose marriage and returned without success, but that after he left, Linxiangcheng could not support his success. Huang Zhong's generous statement in front of him made Liu Feng feel much more at ease.
Liu Feng took a deep breath and looked around at the hot-blooded and solemn faces. His mood was also surging. He nodded deeply and said solemnly, "With you here, I can go at ease. Don't worry, I, Liu Feng, promise that I will never let you down.
