Section 26 Liu Feng

Liu Feng didn't realize the difference at all. When he heard that he was sent to Changsha to attend his younger sister's wedding, he agreed readily, so refreshed that even Liu Bei was a little surprised and even felt guilty for a moment.

Everything seemed to go smoothly.

Lu Su stopped in Chen County for two days, waiting for Liu Bei to prepare for the dowry to give to his daughter. Liu Bei's family was almost done by the greedy merchants in Xiangyang, and he had to piece together two carts of gifts. It was much colder than the dowry he had when Mi Zhu married his younger sister to him. That's it, Liu Bei still felt very distressed. This was his last little family fortune. If he couldn't get a generous reward, he could only scratch the bottom of the pot, either go north to find Cao Chong to fight for his life, or go east to grab Nanhai County, and fight for his life with Sun Quan.

Lu Su knew Liu Bei's mood. When he was leaving, he smiled and said to the frowning Liu Bei: "General Zuo, don't be impatient. Since you and General Zhennan have become father-in-law and son-in-law, what is hard to say in the future? Your little difficulty is not worth mentioning to General Zhennan. Don't worry, as soon as I return to Changsha, I will ask the general to send you a batch of food to solve your urgent needs first to show sincerity. Also, General Zuo also asks General Zuo to keep his promise and submit to the court to accept the pleading, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Liu Bei said with a slight smile: "If General Zhennan can really compassionate with the people's livelihood and no longer cause trouble, and I can stay in Jiaozhou with peace of mind, why bother yourself? As for food, please give me a lot of good words. Don't let me wait anxiously. In addition, I heard that Liu Pan's son-in-law brought three thousand new recruits from Xiangyang to Shi'an, and kept asking me to avenge me. Although I was not afraid of him, I always felt upset. If I had no choice, Zijing would tell my general's son-in-law that if he really wanted me to accept the court's care, let Liu Pan get out early, otherwise I might be annoyed one day and I personally took someone to chop his head."

"Don't worry, General Zuo, I will definitely bring the words to satisfy General Zuo." Lu Su agreed with confidence, and then bowed to Liu Bei and left. Then Mi Zhu and Liu Feng also came to say goodbye to Liu Bei. Liu Bei had already explained everything to them in advance, so there was no need to say anything more at this time. Liu Bei just looked at Liu Feng who was happy and helped him rectify his helmet, and took a hoarse voice: "Feng'er, Changsha is not as good as Chen County. Although Cang Shu married Shuang'er, Shuang'er was just a concubine. You must not do anything to become a relative. His military orders are strict and you are rude. If you violate a taboo, you are afraid that it will be unhappy. You must be careful and don't ruin your life. After arriving in Changsha, read more and talk less. All matters are handled by the uncle of the Mi family. Don't make too many troubles. Remember?"

Liu Feng has been with Liu Bei for so many years. Although he knew that he was not Liu Bei's biological father, he always regarded Liu Bei as his biological father and Liu Chan as his younger brother. He is also very close to big and small. Now he can represent his father to attend his sister's wedding, which is not only a bad thing for him, but also his father valued him. Although it still takes several months for him to perform the ceremony, his father has already regarded himself as an adult, so he was very excited and his face turned red with excitement. He nodded repeatedly and responded without saying a word: "Don't worry, father, I'm almost the person who gave the ceremony. This is still clear. If you are with the uncle of the Mi family, I will definitely be careful. Don't worry, father, please wait. When I come back, I will ask my father to give me a letter."

Liu Bei looked at Liu Feng's excited look and sighed in his heart. He thought for a while and said, "Feng'er, if you go to Changsha, it is inconvenient to have no words. Don't wait for the ceremony, just give you the words for your father. Well, your words are called...Public career. I hope you can complete the task here and return safely. The emperor issued an edict to split the land and be named a marquis, and become my foundation."

"Thank you, father." Liu Feng was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

"Go, don't let Lord Lu wait too long." Liu Bei felt a little guilty and waved his hand.

Liu Feng thanked again, put on his clothes and armor, and turned his horse on his back. Xiong Jiu followed Mi Zhu up the official road with a loud shout. With a shout, the convoy started under the escort of one hundred guards, bringing a stream of smoke and dust gradually faded away. Liu Bei stood quietly outside the long pavilion with his hands in his arms, looking at the official road filled with smoke and dust, and was speechless for a while.

Although Lu Su patted his chest in front of Liu Bei, he was not sure. So shortly after he set out, he wrote a quick letter to send the horse to Xiangyang to ask Cao Chong for instructions. After Cao Chong received the quick letter, he was quite surprised. He expected that Liu Bei would send someone to come, but he did not expect that such a person with status would be sent. The Mi family was his uncle and Liu Feng was the eldest son. Although he was a fake, he was a fake who had officially included the genealogy and changed his surname. Compared with fakes like Qin Lang and He Yan, it was much more authentic.

Could it be that Liu Bei really couldn't hold on and wanted to surrender? He was a little confused and quickly asked Pang Tong and Zhang Song and other close friends to discuss. Pang Tong looked at the letter and smiled and said, "I can't tell that Lord Lu has such skill in verbalism, which is not worse than Ziyi. He hits the key points, threatens and temptations, just right, and does it all the things that Lord Zhou hasn't accomplished for more than a year."

"Do you think this can be accomplished?" Cao Chong interrupted him and asked anxiously.

Pang Tong smiled, and he smiled strangely. He shook away the new folding fan in Xiangyang with a "swoosh", and looked like a fairy-like figure, and smeared the beard on the corner of his mouth proudly: "General, in the current situation, it is expected that General Zuo will come to surrender. Considering that Zhuge Liang has left and General Zuo has no effective personnel to handle the information, Yongnian has transmitted the news of Sun Kuaiji and us to Guiyang through those merchants. It seems that General Zuo already knows some news now. If he does not want to get caught in the attack, he will take the opportunity to accept the general's kindness, which is obviously the best strategy." Pang Tong said, deliberately skipping Ma Su, a general who was responsible for analyzing the situation under Liu Bei, was afraid that Ma Su would feel embarrassed on the side.

Cao Chong nodded. He really hoped that Liu Bei had truly accepted the court's appeasement. He did not dare to expect Liu Bei to surrender to him. After all, Lao Liu had fought with Lao Cao for most of his life and never gave up. It would be even more difficult to make him surrender to him. Old Liu would definitely not be able to get over the face. Accepting the court's appeasement and admitting defeat to the emperor may be easier for him to accept it. No matter what the name is, in short, there is no need to fight again, which is of course a good thing. But looking at the urgent book in his hand and seeing Liu Bei's plan to want Jiaozhou, Cao Chong felt that Liu Bei's idea was probably a delaying plan and did not really admit defeat.

Pang Tong seemed to see Cao Chong's concern. He shook the folding fan leisurely and closed it with a "wow" sound, and his movements were clean and neat. It could be seen that he had practiced many times. He used the folding fan to knock on the map in front of him, and then continued: "But from the point of view of his desire for Jiaozhou and food, this matter may not be too satisfactory. However, whether it is done or not, it doesn't matter to the general. If it is done, the general will be in peace and peace in the world.

.If he fails, he just breathed a sigh of relief. The strength gap between the two sides is here. If he wants to turn the tables, unless we all fall asleep. Chen County is more than a thousand miles away. Although there are no mountains and ridges, it will take nearly a month and a half when it comes to rushing. Even if it is a light chariot, it will take a month. In addition, if there is no accident, the war will start after the autumn harvest. At that time, whether to fight or not, how to fight, the initiative is in our control."

"Would you give him a batch of food first?" Cao Chong said after thinking.

Pang Tong thought for a while, nodded and said, "I think I should give it a little. He has now agreed to the court's appeasement and the hostages have been sent. He has done all the requests made by the general to the emperor. If he did not give him food at this time, I am afraid that the emperor, Lord Zhou will feel that the general is deliberately making things difficult for him, and the general will be wronged."

Cao Chong disagreed. He said to the emperor this way, "Don't give away qualifiers or surrendered quotations, and there is no grain for food." Now Liu Bei asked Liu Feng to come, but he did not surrendered quotations, nor did he clearly say that Liu Feng was a proton, and he told him that the conditions he said were still inconsistent with him. Although he really hoped that Liu Bei could surrender, whether to surrender to him or the court, Liu Bei had not taken action yet. Is it a bit like raising a tiger now to cause trouble for him?

"Besides, if you don't give any food, General Zuo will definitely not want to trust the general's sincerity. He is likely to provoke trouble again, which may disrupt our plan. If the general gives him some living food, he can relax his fighting spirit and shake the trust foundation of their two alliances. Wouldn't it be a good thing to be both good? Anyway, when fighting, we should consume more food. It's better to give him some food to him and let him eat his stomach and make trouble with Sun Kuaiji in Jiangdong. We will make profits from it." He looked at Zhang Song who nodded and smiled with Zhang Song: "Otherwise, Yongnian would have to worry about spreading rumors, and the effect might not be good. The general gave some food to Liu Bei, and then left Mi Zizhong and Liu Feng in Changsha. How could Sun Kuaiji have no doubts?"

"Then give it some?" Cao Chong was still reluctant to let it go. He gave the food to the enemy. Although the enemy was his father-in-law, he was still a little uncomfortable.

"Give it some good." Zhang Song also nodded and attached: "If you don't give me some sweetness, they won't have the strength to fight."

"Then give it some." Cao Chong thought for a while, then smiled and said, "But, this face has to be sold to Lord Zhou. Let's talk about it when he comes to me."

Pang Tong and Zhang Song laughed in unison and said, "What the young master said is exactly."

Since he decided to give food, Cao Chong immediately ordered Zhang Ren to allocate some of the intercepted large amount of grain to Liu Bei, and at the same time asked Shi An to ask Liu Pan, who was going to fight, to retreat to Lingling City 200 miles away. Liu Pan was very annoyed, but he had to obey Cao Chong's orders, and he went crazy all day long and practiced long-distance raids and attacks.

Big Shuang Xiao Shuang knew that Mi Zhu was coming, and Liu Feng was also here. He heard that Cao Chong agreed to Zhou Yu's request and sent some food to Liu Bei. It seemed that it was possible for the peace between his father and his husband to make peace. They were relieved by half of their hearts. Mi Fang also rushed from Xiangyang and brought gifts from Liu Ba, Xun Yu, Xi Su and others, and filled dozens of cars. Not to mention anything else, the dressing items sent by Xun Wenqian, Cai Ji and Sun Shangxiang were a full car. Three big boxes of fallen forest powder that were popular in Xiangyang, which was enough for them to wipe it for a year. Sun Shangxiang was even more naughty. He actually gave two sets of children's clothes prepared by Mrs. Huan for her and wrote a letter wishing them to secretly have a baby together, making the sisters shy.

Of course, what made them happiest was that both Mi Fang and Mi Zhu had arrived.

Mi Fang accompanied her sisters and received her brother Mi Zhu ten miles outside Changsha City. When the brothers met, they were filled with emotion. They didn't care about so many people watching and hugging each other. Mi Fang knelt down in front of Mi Zhu and apologized repeatedly: "My brother is incompetent, defeated and captured, and almost implicated his brother and nephews. He really has no face to see his brother again. I thought his brother was separated by the world, but I didn't expect that he would have a chance to meet. It's really a pity for my brother. My brother was in Xiangyang and lived like a year. When he heard that his brother had been in Changsha, he came day and night to greet his brother and apologize in person."

"Get up, get up." Mi Zhu saw Mi Fang's cheeks that were so thin that he had no flesh. He knew that although his brothers had delicious food and drink in Xiangyang for the past two years, he would not feel good. Their brothers had always had a good relationship. Mi Fang was captured and surrendered to Cao Chong, and later appointed as the garrison of Xiangyang City. This made Liu Bei's attitude towards the Mi family to the extreme. Although he still served as the central officer of Liu Bei's left general's mansion, outsiders still seemed to have a strong trust, but Mi Zhu knew that his situation was dangerous and Liu Bei almost never talked to him about matters. Fortunately, he was a peaceful person and did not fight for these things. He just asked his sons to be careful of being a person, so he did not have any conflict with Liu Bei. This time, Liu Bei asked him to come to Changsha to attend his niece's wedding. In addition to borrowing his identity, of course he also wanted to get along with the Mi family, please please the big and small, and want to make profits from it.

But for him, it was enough to be able to reunite with his brothers. He only hoped that Liu Bei could take good care of his wives, concubines, and children.

"Where is the grave of my little sister?" Mi Zhu asked softly in Mi Fang's ear.

"I have moved to Xiangyang a long time ago, it is the tomb that Cang Shu personally came to move." Mi Fang replied softly.

"It's so good." Mi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and walked over to Dashuang Xiaoshuang, who had already cried behind Mi Fang. Dashuang Xiaoshuang threw himself into Mi Zhu's arms at the same time and burst into tears. Mi Zhu also burst into tears, but he still patted Dashuang Xiaoshuang's back with great relief and comforted: "Girl, stop crying, the hard days have passed, and your mother will definitely be very smiling in the underworld."

Big and small pair sobbed, holding Mi Zhu's hand and cried and laughed. You persuaded me, I persuaded you, and said a while, and cried for a while. It was finally easy to release all the worries in their hearts in the past few years. They had already cried like a flower-faced cat, and then they pulled Mi Zhu to Cao Chong, who was talking to Lu Su and Zhou Yu, who was having a great time.

Lu Su received a reply from Cao Chong on the way. He learned that Cao Chong agreed to his opinion, and at Zhou Yu's request, he had ordered Zhang Ren on the front line to allocate the first batch of food to Liu Bei. Although it was not much, it showed enough sincerity and transferred it back to Liu Pan, allowing Lu Su to fulfill the Haikou that he boasted in front of Liu Bei. This made Lu Su very satisfied. As soon as he saw Cao Chong, he hurried forward to thank him. Cao Chong naturally had to return the credit to him hypocritical and sincerely, and praised Lu Su for his good work and had a happy conversation.

Seeing Mi Zhu coming, Cao Chong hurriedly accused Zhou Yu and Lu Su and went forward to worship Mi Zhu with great gifts. This surprised Mi Zhu and didn't come back to his senses. When Cao Chong bowed, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped him and said repeatedly: "Why should you be so generous with such a ritual system in the court?"

Cao Chong smiled and said, "Uncle, how do you say this? It's not a business for you to come this time, what is the court etiquette system. You are now Shuang'er's uncle, that is, my uncle. It is natural for me to pay my respects to my uncle with the etiquette of my juniors. How could it be incompatible with etiquette?"

Mi Zhu was quite moved. He looked at Shuang'er with satisfaction and smiled happily. Cao Chong treated him like this. It seemed that the rumors of pampering Shuang'er was indeed true. In this way, his girl could really rest in peace in the underworld. She couldn't marry a good husband, but her daughter found a good belonging. Unfortunately, luckily? Unfortunately, my wife and son were still in Chen County. If they were here, it would be the best ending.

After Cao Chong asked Mi Zhu, Han Nuan, and smiled and said to Liu Feng, who was following Mi Zhu, who was silly smiling and not knowing how to deal with himself, "This is Shuang'er's brother? Although I have never seen you, I have heard of your reputation. Liu Ziju and Old General Zhang all praised you for your young hero and your martial arts are outstanding."

Liu Feng followed behind Mi Zhu, watching the people in the Mi family crying, but no one cared about him. Even the two sisters who used to pester him didn't think about paying attention to him. He was a little embarrassed. He originally thought that he was a figure under Liu Bei's hands, and he was quite arrogant. Now, when he saw Cao Chong, who was half a year younger than him, chatting and laughing under the crowd, became an indisputable center of gravity. That arrogance had long become depressed, and no one paid attention to him, and he felt even more disappointed. Suddenly, Cao Chong, the central figure, came to talk to him, and praised him for his good martial arts as soon as he spoke. He hit the acupoint of his most proud point. His originally dark face suddenly lit up, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak well.

"Cang... General Cang is more awarded, General Cang is more awarded. Although Feng is a little brute force, he is quite enlightened by General Zilong. However, he is stupid by nature and only learns a little bit of fur. The general said this, which really makes me feel ashamed."

Cao Chong laughed loudly, and he took Liu Feng's hand and walked forward, saying, "Shuang'er often mentions you, saying that you love them very much. Now we are a family, so we don't want generals and generals, which seems a bitchy. Just call me Cang Shu, and I'll call you... By the way, you can have the crown ceremony and have you taken the word "?"

"I took it, my father just took it before I came." Liu Feng was flattered and followed Cao Chong with all his steps: "It's called Gongye."

"Public career?" Cao Chong savored it and nodded, "Okay, a real man should make achievements. He should use his horse to get a horse in his crotch and a knife in his palm to spread the world, gain a wife and a son, and a glorious family."

"That's right." Liu Feng was so happy that he couldn't stop talking to him, and his eyes were smiling thin. He grew up so old that Liu Bei had never spoken to him like this. Others either thought he was rude and unwilling to talk to him, or because he was Liu Bei's adopted son and did not dare to talk to him like this. He held hands and spoke warmly with him without any airs, and it was the first time he had ever remembered. The tension brought by his first meeting with Cao Chong suddenly disappeared without a trace. He seemed to have found the kind of brotherly comfort, happiness, and no scruples he had long been looking forward to. He patted his chest and said, "Cang Shu is right. If you don't dislike me, I will follow you to the world in the future. Don't worry, with me, no one can hurt you."

Cao Chong almost laughed out loud, thinking that this kid was indeed a naughty man. If he said such words in front of so many people, it would be great if it reached Liu Bei's ears. Besides, do I want you to protect him? The tiger soldiers around me are not weaker than you, let alone a super expert like Deng Zhan. But he was quite happy to hear this. He patted Liu Feng on the shoulder and smiled: "I will take this sentence seriously. Don't break your promises and be fat at that time."

"Of course not." Liu Feng said righteously, completely ignoring the people next to him, either surprised or laughing.

Cao Chong turned around and looked at him, reached out to fiddle with the long sword on Liu Feng's waist, shook his head, pulled it out and threw it to the tiger soldier beside him, raised his hand to pull out the long sword that had no chance to be unsheathed after he had made it, and stuffed it into the dazed Liu Feng's hand: "Public career, your knife is not a top-notch at first glance. Use my hand. I can't use it anyway with you to protect it. Giving a treasure knife to a hero. Only when this knife is in the hands of a young hero like you, will it not be useless in the middle of the night."

Liu Feng held the long knife in his hand, opened his eyes and opened his mouth and stood there stupidly. He looked at the knife, then Cao Chong, not knowing what to say. After a while, he held the scabbard in one hand and the hilt in the other, pulling out half of it with force, and a ray of light suddenly lit up his eyes.

"Good knife!" Liu Feng pulled out the long knife with a "swish". Under the sunlight, the blade was like a pool of autumn water, emitting a cold air. Seeing the people next to him squinted their eyes involuntarily, Dian Man and several close-fitting tiger soldiers subconsciously took a step forward and pressed the long knife on their waists. If Pang Tong hadn't held his hand down, he would have rushed forward and killed Liu Feng who was immersed in ecstasy.

"It's okay." Pang Tong said softly. He could see that Cao Chong was trying to win over Liu Feng, a fool. Whether he really liked him or wanted to deliberately provoke his relationship with Liu Bei - he himself tended to the latter - this is a good move. Liu Feng's unpreparedness has fallen into a trap without knowing it. Whether he voluntarily or not, it is basically impossible for him to leave Cao Chong and return to Liu Bei's side in the future.

Xiaoshuang saw Dian Man's vigilance, she stepped forward and pushed Liu Fengchen and said, "You are really, my husband gives you his own sword. You don't know how to thank you. You only know how to smile at the sword. Are so many people standing here waiting for you? If you like it, go back and watch slowly. Why are you standing here stupidly? I haven't seen you for a few years. I've grown tall and my brain is still so stupid."

Liu Feng woke up and quickly put the knife in the sheath, carefully inserted it into the belt, bowed deeply to Cao Chong, and smiled embarrassedly, "My sister is right. I am just a rough man. I am so happy that I forgot my mind. If you offend me, don't blame Cang Shu. Please don't blame me." As he said, he bowed to Lu Su, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong and others next to him, and greeted him one by one. Even Cao Ju and Qin Lang, who were following Cao Chong, did not leave. When everyone saw him, they thought that although he was vulgar and rude, he had a unique interest. Moreover, for Cao Chong's sake, no one dared to care about him, and they laughed loudly.

While laughing, Zhou Yu poked Lu Su beside him with his arm. He looked at him with a deep meaning and picked Cao Chong with the corner of his eyes. Lu Su also looked at him with a sympathetic heart and nodded with a smile.
