Liu Feng was so angry that he wanted to go to the Shen brothers to ask for help.
"Brother often acts impulsively and does not consider the consequences. Putting him on the battlefield will naturally increase his courage and courage, but he must be restrained on ordinary days."
One leg had already stepped out of the house, but what Liu Chan said to him flashed through his mind.
Taking a deep breath, the cold air flowed down his throat and into his lungs, cooling his heart but also making him calm down.
After exhaling a breath of white air, Liu Feng stepped back again.
Wisdom, strategy, intrigue, these are not what I am good at. If I lose the land of the three counties because of myself, how can I be worthy of my father and the heir?
It's better to find someone to discuss it first and then make a decision.
In this area, the only person he could find for discussion was Meng Da.
His biggest goal when he came here was to firmly control Dongsan County in his own hands, which was equivalent to being in the hands of his father.
The relationship between him and Meng Da cannot be said to be good, they are just ordinary colleagues.
Even though they obviously couldn't pee in the same pot, they tried their best to avoid choking each other.
In his mind, since Meng Da served his father, he should fully assist him.
But he never thought about how Meng Da, who thought he could take all the credit, would feel after he interfered...
In Mengda's house, a unfamiliar man in rich clothes was talking to him.
There is a wooden box on the table next to it, and the wooden box is covered with golden light from the gap.
"Zidu, I fell in love with you the moment we met. I have something to say now, and I really don't want to say it out loud." The man said with a look of regret, "You have a majestic appearance and great talent. You should be serving the country. Why do you stoop here in this remote place? In this land, do you live with barbarians all day long?"
This man was Huan Jie, who had already reached the rank of Lieutenant General and Shizhong in Huben. He volunteered this time and was willing to personally come to lobby the Shen brothers and Meng Da as an envoy.
Meng Da said calmly: "Da has recovered three counties from the King of Hanzhong now, and will send his army to the north to clear out the rebels and help the Han Dynasty. This is just serving the country."
Huan Jie didn't get angry when he heard this. He still had a look of hatred on his face, as if he felt sorry for Meng Da's stubbornness.
But there was a sneer in my heart, if you, Meng Zidu, were really as you said, how would I have the chance to enter your room and have a secret conversation with you today?
The gifts I sent to you earlier, plus the gold I brought today, you have received nothing less.
"Zidu is now serving the thieves, but where does he want to go to eliminate the thieves? The emperor is still here, the court is in the north, and Liu Bei proclaimed himself king, occupied Jingyi and openly defied the court. Isn't he rebelling against thieves?"
Meng Da glared angrily, trying to draw his sword: "How dare you insult the king?!"
Huan Jie showed no fear on his face. He stamped his feet and beat his chest and said, "Zi Tu is a servant who is stubborn and stubborn, like a pearl covered in dust. It is really heartbreaking! The King of Wei once said that if Zi Tu is a great talent, if he is willing to serve the court, he should be a close servant when he enters. Then it is not difficult to worship a general and become a marquis..."
Meng Da's eyes flickered. Although he still pressed his sword, there was no trace of feigned anger left on his face.
Becoming a Marquis...the temptation is still too great.
And it seems that he really intends to reuse him. Otherwise, why would King Wei send his ministers to this damn place to lobby for generous gifts?
As the king of a feudal country, it is impossible for him to go back on his words even if he is lobbying.
Otherwise, who would be willing to surrender in the future?
Think about it again, I followed Liu Bei together with Fazheng. Fazheng was promoted all the way, and he was released.
Moreover, Meng Da was not allowed to take charge of the external affairs, and his son was sent to keep an eye on him.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated Meng Da became. In fact, his heart had already been shaken.
It's just that... Liu Bei has won consecutive victories and his morale is like a rainbow. Although Cao Wei is powerful, he was defeated twice.
Meng Da put his hand down from his sword and said calmly: "I have made up my mind, sir, there is no need to waste any more words."
Huan Jie wanted to persuade him again, but a servant outside the door suddenly shouted: "General, Liu Feng, General Liu, please see me."
Meng Da's expression changed slightly and he said hurriedly: "Sir, you can leave through the back door. I have something to do, so I won't be with you for a long time."
Huan Jie stood up and bowed his hands: "Everything I say is for Zidu's consideration. You... don't make any mistakes!"
Then without saying much, he turned around and left.
Although Mengda refused this time, Huanjie was not depressed.
After all, this is the first official meeting between the two, and there is a long way to go.
And for this kind of thing, listening to his words is secondary, the key is to observe his actions.
He also accepted the gift, and he also met himself, a minister of the imperial court, and now when he saw Liu Feng coming, he deliberately let himself go through the back door...
Huan Jie said with a smile, as long as Meng Da kept in touch and worked harder, it would only be a matter of time before he surrendered to the King of Wei.
After Huan Jie left, Meng Da quickly covered the wooden box and hid it in the box.
There are still several letters hidden in the box.
Then he tidied up his appearance, calmed down his emotions, and made sure nothing was unusual before leaving the house.
In the front hall, Liu Feng was much calmer than before, but he still felt depressed.
"Haha, the general is a rare visitor. I'm here to find you, but what service do you need?" Meng Da greeted him warmly as he walked into the front hall.
It's just that this kind of enthusiasm is different from some masters who are good at it and make people feel like they are like spring breeze. It always shows a bit of fakeness.
For people like Liu Feng, either you can make him unable to see the flaws, or you can be honest with him, otherwise he will instinctively feel disgusted... just like Meng Da now.
But now in this Dongsan County, he could only discuss with him... Liu Feng began to miss the time when Liu Chan was here. At that time, he would just do what he said and he would be done.
It's not as troublesome as it is now.
Liu Feng suppressed his displeasure and put on a stiff smile: "Zidu, you are busy with official duties and have neglected to visit. How are you doing recently?"
This was Liu Feng's best effort in greeting him... Calling him by his cousin also showed his closeness.
But it didn't sound that way to Mengda's ears. It can only be said that the two of them really couldn't pee in the same pot.
After a brief greeting, Liu Feng, who had nothing to say, could only say directly: "Zidu, the Shen brothers have gone too far to bully me! Didn't they agree before..."
After telling Meng Da about his investigation results on the above plan, Liu Feng said angrily: "I also know that the above plan is complicated and requires time to prepare. But it seems that it is almost 'Yuan Day' now, and the people below You don’t even know about this! I’m so angry!”
Meng Da made an awe-inspiring gesture and said, "Is this happening? General, don't be impatient. I will question the two brothers later."
"What are you still questioning? How can it be false that I personally sent people to investigate?" Liu Feng's anger that he had suppressed just now rose again, "Why don't you and I simply mobilize our troops to destroy the Shen family, and then say that he secretly received a lot of money from Cao Wei? The secret envoy wants to surrender to Cao Cao!"
Meng Da's heart skipped a beat, and he felt like his heart was in his throat.
Liu Feng just happened to look at him angrily at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart.
This guy...could he be using the Shen brothers' matter as an excuse to deliberately test him?
How did he know so clearly? It’s like seeing it!
But he was sure that he was not being watched. Meng Dahan was about to come down, and his thoughts were changing.
After thinking about it, it can only be that the people on Cao Wei's side have exposed the truth, but he may not be sure about it yet, so he came to test.
How to react?
Meng Da was having a big drama in his heart, but Liu Feng suddenly smiled helplessly: "I just made a joke, Zidu doesn't need to take it seriously, it's just that the Shen brothers deliberately perfunctory it, it's really hateful!"
When he got angry just now, he thought that even if the Shen family had thousands of households and could easily command tens of thousands of people, their true combat power was only two or three thousand.
If they suddenly attack and don't give them a chance to prepare, he and Meng Da, with more than 7,000 men in their hands, will definitely be able to destroy them with very little loss.
It was only when he saw that Meng Da was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, and was silent for a long time, so he calmed down a little.
No matter what, Shen Dan was also the General of the Northern Expedition personally appointed by his father, and his official position was still above his own. Unless he made a substantial move to surrender, he would not have time to report before he could take action.
Otherwise...even if it succeeds, I'm afraid it will only cause chaos to my father.
Looking at Meng Da again, the calculation in his heart has gone from the first, second, and fifth levels, and now it has almost reached the atmosphere.
His face changed several times, and finally he forced himself to smile and said: "General, please calm down, this matter is of great importance. It is not too late for us to make a decision after I ask the Shen brothers again."
Liu Feng nodded, and there was no better way.
He wanted to do this because he wanted to show his ability in front of his father and the prince, and he didn't want to screw it up.
Seeing Liu Feng going out, Meng Da, who had just put his heart in his stomach, turned pale, as if he was seriously ill...
The son of a shantytown widow who was really seriously ill looked better than him at this moment.
The new army is training in an orderly manner under the leadership of the newly promoted general, and Wang Meng's candidates are almost ready.
Huang Zhong's health was still not good, but after he had something to do, he drank the medicine prescribed by Uncle Wang and did not get worse.
Liu Chan took the time to visit this first child who received penicillin treatment.
