Chapter 509: The Secret That the First Emperor Cannot Tell(1/2)
Jiujiang ship, on the deck.
At this moment, Chu Feng and others had just boarded the ship.
Gan Ning also knew about the related matters. No one wanted to overstate it at this moment. After all, the battle suffered thousands of soldiers, which was a crushing defeat.
"Master, what should I do now?"
Zhao Yun clasped his fists, looking solemn.
It can be said that because of Zhao Fan's underestimation of the enemy, a series of arrangements against Jingzhou will stagnate, and it is very likely that he will miss the good opportunity to win Jingzhou.
You know, once Guandu is finished, it will be even more difficult for Chu Feng to take Jingzhou. Now, it is too difficult for Chu Feng to advance again.
The best choice is to retreat to Shaxian, control Jiangxia, and wait for an opportunity to plot against Jingzhou in the future.
"Lord, I will ask for a fight and I am willing to lead my troops to retake Jiangling." Zhao Fan gritted his teeth. He knew how outrageous he was wrong. At this moment, he could only serve Chu Feng with all his passion.
"Lord, why not fight hard, otherwise it will be even more difficult for our army to win Jingzhou when Guandu decides. "Ganning also suggested.
"Absurd!" Chu Feng rejected.
"Jiangling was stationed by Liu Bei, with 40,000 or 50,000 troops, and Zhang Yun's navy blocked the road in Jingling, I'm afraid that more troops have been sent at this moment."
"This time, it is better to slow down the plan if you are eager to attack the enemy!" Chu Feng frowned and immediately said: "Transfer the order, and the entire army will immediately retreat to Shaxian and stop the drums."
"Lord, this..." All the generals showed an incomprehensible look.
Although the troops are no longer in the advantage, the Central Army and Gao Shun's camp will come soon. You can fight at that time, so why should you retreat?
"As a general, you should look at the overall situation rather than worrying about the gains and losses in front of you. Although Jiangling's defeat was painful, it would sound a wake-up call to everyone present."
"At any time, you must not underestimate the enemy."
Chu Feng taught everyone loudly. As for this crushing defeat, he learned in detail about the whole process. It was normal for Zhao Fan to do it, but his opponent was Xu Shu.
This person Chu Feng naturally knew.
Strictly speaking, he was Liu Bei's first top strategist, with extremely strong abilities. He was above Zhao Fan in terms of battle formation and military strategy, so it was not surprising that he could win.
There is also a saying that Xu Shu entered Cao's camp without saying a word.
Chu Feng even suspected that if it were other corps, Xu Shu would probably have eaten it clean in one bite.
"What the lord taught me is!" The generals nodded in shame.
"The reason why Liu Bei was able to win in this battle was entirely because he relied on his counselor Xu Shu. This man was resourceful and good at fighting, so it was not worth worrying to support this man Liu Bei."
Chu Feng briefly retelled.
"Train out? Lord, how do you help this person?" asked curiously.
"Simple, just send a letter to Zhang Xiu, just ask him to arrest Xu Shu's mother. For the sake of the people of the world, such methods are forced to do so." Chu Feng answered directly.
In history, Xu Shu was a famous filial son. In history, he also entered Cao's camp for his mother. Although he was not as absolute as he said nothing.
But it is true that it is not done.
"This..." Everyone looked at each other, a little confused.
Is it really useful to catch other people's mothers? In order to make achievements, there are so many things that have abandoned their wives and children. How could Chu Feng be sure that Xu Shu will be constrained?
"Of course, Zhang Xiu is my last sword, and it cannot be exposed so quickly. However, Liu Bei is in Jiangling and has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. I am afraid that it should be Liu Biao!"
"This time our army withdrew, we will send a letter to Liu Biao and ask for peace with him. Liu Biao knows that no matter whether I am true or false, he will not be relieved that Liu Bei is in charge of power alone."
"At that time, Jingzhou will naturally propose to withdraw Liu Bei's position as General. Liu Bei is always kind and will definitely be ordered to return to Jing. If he uses the excuse to delay, that would be great."
"Liu Biao must have been angry and suspicious, so he sent someone to take over the army. At this time, I asked me to give a detailed advice and arrange for Zhang Xiu to take down Xinye, which is legitimate."
"In this way, whether Liu Bei retreats or not, our army will benefit the fisherman. Isn't it good to attack again?" Chu Feng curled his lips and sneered.
After hearing Chu Feng say that, all the generals burst into cold sweat. The boss is really hard-working and can touch people's hearts clearly. He directly put Liu Bei on the stove and roasted it.
"Lu Xun, write one letter to Liu Biao, expressing his name to seek peace. Another letter to Zhang Xiu. When Liu Biao really asks him to take down Xinye, he focuses on finding Xu Shu's mother."
Chu Feng said in a deep voice with his hands on his back.
"No!" Lu Xun nodded.
"Oh by the way, let him inquire about Wolonggang, Nanyang, and find a young man named Zhuge Liang. If you find him, you can bring him. If you can't bring him, then kill him!"
Chu Feng's eyes were a little cold.
He was worried that history would repeat itself when he really came to this point. If Zhuge Liang really returned to Liu Bei, that would not be good news. This person is so smart that he is close to demons and has fewer enemies.
If a capable person like Wuhou cannot use it, he will cut it with one knife, which can be regarded as a way to restore the people's stable life faster.
"No" Lu Xun nodded first, then looked at Chu Feng and said, "Lord, you mentioned this person to Zhuge Jin earlier, and now you have specifically emphasized, is it possible for this person..."
"This person is very smart and has a talent for heaven and earth. If he cannot be used by me, he will cut it with one knife, otherwise the world will be in turmoil for decades." Chu Feng said bluntly.
Lu Xun was surprised. He had never seen his boss have such a high evaluation of others, which made Lu Xun even more curious about what Zhuge Liang was doing.
Finally, Chu Feng wrote another letter to Cai. He always felt that Cai would help him, perhaps because Jingzhou could not be defended with Cai Mao.
There are many things promised in the letter, such as supporting the Cai family to become the first family in Jingzhou, and also proposing to destroy Liu Biao and take her as a concubine.
After completing this series of operations, Chu Feng was calm and happy to Sha Xian. Next, we can see them biting their own dogs.

In a blink of an eye, a few days later.
Cai Mansion, in the backyard room.
Cai looked at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. His scorpion-like eyes narrowed slightly and said coldly: "Ha, I actually made my mind to me."
"Sister, what do you say about Chu Feng?" Cai Mao asked curiously.
"He said, let my Cai family help him take Jingzhou. After he occupied Jingzhou, he would support the Cai family as the first family in Jingzhou and would always serve as the prefect of Nanjun."
Cai sneered, she realized that Chu Feng wanted to use her.
"Sister, will we help?" Cai Mao asked in doubt.
"Haha, then Liu Bei is a little useful to defeat Zhao Fan this time. Chu Feng can give so many conditions, and I'm afraid he has a lot to do with Liu Bei. As for whether to help or not, it depends on his own ability."
When Cai said this, a trace of curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"In this way, tomorrow's court meeting will instigate Liu Biao to end the war, and let him remove Liu Bei's official position. On the one hand, he will take power, and on the other hand, he will act as a helper."
"Yes!" Cai Mao nodded.
"Okay, go down!" Cai waved his hand and looked at Cai Mao's leaving back. Cai's little tongue slashed across the tip of his lips, revealing a vicious smile.
She hasn't played with Chu Feng for a long time, and she is really looking forward to it.

The next day,
Jingzhou, Xiangyang General's Mansion.
Listening to the following literati, Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, because the essay was reading Chu Feng's letter of peace, and Chu Feng put his posture very low in the letter.
Take the initiative to make sums and ensure that no further violations are made.
"Haha, okay, okay, I finally heard good news. Someone came and sent a message back immediately, saying that I, Liu Biao, agreed to ask for peace, Jing and Yang to continue to maintain a friendly relationship."
Liu Biao raised his hand and said happily.
"No," someone responded.
"Lord, Chu Feng is asking for peace now, but when Liu Bei reported the battle situation earlier, he said that the Chu army had left remnants. In my opinion, he wanted to usurp the rebellion."
"For the safety of Jingzhou, the last general begs the lord to immediately send someone to take back Liu Bei's military power and summon him to Jing. If he agrees, he will naturally be innocent. If he opposes, he will definitely have the intention of rebellion."
Cai Mao immediately stood up and shouted with a strong voice.
"This..." Liu Biao hesitated for a moment.
The civil and military officials in the hall were all talking about it at this moment, nodding from time to time, obviously fearing Liu Bei's rebellion. After all, Liu Bei had tens of thousands of soldiers at this moment.
"Lord, having said that, could this be the fake news released by Chu Feng, deliberately letting us withdraw Liu Bei? After all, only Liu Bei can face the Chu army at the moment."
Kuai Liang interrupted quickly.
Naturally, he didn't want the Cai family to take over military power, but the aristocratic families led by Kuai Liang also expressed their opinions.
Liu Biao pondered a little, and was solemn in his heart: "In this way, let Wenpin and Cai He go to pick up Liu Bei's position, which is to welcome Liu Bei."
"If Chu Feng commits again, it will not be too late to let Liu Bei suppress it again. But if he is determined to rebel, he will definitely not agree. I will definitely make him pay the price at that time!"
Liu Biao hesitated a little, obviously thinking of a compromise solution.
"Lord is wise!" Everyone clasped their fists to compliment.
"Okay, let's do it this way. In addition, the scouts are arranged to keep a close eye on the movements of the Chu army at all times. When there is news, be sure to report it immediately and there must be no mistakes!"
Liu Biao shook his sleeves and arranged.
After finishing all this, the discussion was nothing but a matter of consent. What followed was a letter, among which one was sent to Jiangling.
