Several days had passed since the wedding day. Li Feng could be said to have enjoyed the blessings of everyone in the past few days. The four great beauties took turns to wait on him every day, almost causing Li Feng to be drunk in a gentle village. Fortunately, he still had a group of loyal civil officials and generals by his side. Otherwise, Li Feng's heroic spirit would have been completely worn away. Fortunately, his subordinates were all very capable. Although Li Feng spent more time with the four new madams, he still did not delay the government affairs.
"Huainan has been pacified, and my power has expanded again. The next step should be River East.”Li Feng, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, was sitting alone in the backyard, deep in thought. "Yuan Shu really knows how to enjoy life. He has plundered so much wealth, and the people of Huainan are all so poor. Fortunately, the city was attacked quickly, and those treasures were not taken away by him. Otherwise, he would have to spend a lot of money to clean up the mess he left behind. With Liu Bei from the north appearing, Yuan Shao would not be able to unify the north so easily. The situation in the north was really complicated, and it was hard to predict how it would end. However, Cao Cao was now a hungry tiger. He had been watching the situation in the north like a tiger eyeing its prey. Perhaps one day, he would stab Yuan Shao in the back. Liu Bei's current strength was not Cao Cao's match. It seemed that Cao Cao was the most likely to unify the north. After he finishes cleaning up the north, it will be my turn. I have to speed up my pace and pacify Jiangdong. Only then will I have the strength to fight Cao Cao.”
After thinking for a while, Li Feng slowly sorted out his thoughts and sighed. He remembered the two words of the founding leader of his era: "There are so many beauties in the country, attracting countless heroes to bow down.”"Let's all go. There are so many outstanding people.”He couldn't help but chant.
"What a good number of romantic figures.”A voice of praise suddenly sounded from behind him.
Li Feng turned around and saw Man Chong leading a middle-aged scholar in. The middle-aged scholar had a short beard, a wide forehead, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He exuded the aura of a ranger. Li Feng couldn't help but be amazed. The praise just now was what the middle-aged scholar had said.
The two of them came in front of Li Feng and handed him a letter."My lord, this is the recommendation letter from General Zhang of Huainan. Please take a look.”
Li Feng did not open the letter. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged scholar and said,"I see that Mister has an extraordinary bearing. May I know your name?”
"I'm from Yingshang," the middle-aged scholar said."My surname is Shan and my name is Fu." I have long heard that Li Xuzhou treats virtuous and corporal people with courtesy and knows that people can be appointed. I came back to join him. Just now I heard the general's words, really not ordinary people.”
When Li Feng heard this, he took a step forward and held his hand, laughing loudly,""Why are you deceiving me? You're not Shan Fu. You're Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, from Yingchuan. When he was young, he loved to learn fencing. At the end of Zhongping, he once avenged and killed people. He ran away with his hair and face smeared and was captured by officials. Asked his name did not answer, officials tied him to the car, beat the drum to walk in the market, now the market people know him, even those who know dare not say, and his companions secretly rescued him. So he changed his name and fled, changed his moral integrity to study, visited famous teachers everywhere, and once talked with Sima Hui.”
"How do you know me, General?" Xu Shu asked in alarm.”
Li Feng smiled." I know all the famous people in the world. How can I not know the name of Xu Yuanzhi?"”
Xu Shu humbly replied,"General, you praise me too much. How dare I be called a celebrity?" I've long heard that you know people well, and I believe you today.”
Li Feng turned to Man Chong." Bonin, order a banquet to be prepared. I want to properly welcome Mr. Xu."”
Man Chong was also very happy to see that his lord had obtained another great sage. He quickly responded and went to prepare.
Soon after, Li Feng held a banquet in the manor. All the famous civil officials and generals of the Xu Prefecture army attended. At the banquet, Li Feng introduced Xu Shu to everyone, and everyone said some respectful words to each other.
In the end, Li Feng raised his wine glass and walked out. Xu Shu said,"Everyone, I have invited everyone here today to welcome Mr. Xu and let everyone get to know him. The other is what we mentioned before. We're preparing to march toward River East.”
When Xu Shu heard that it was a military secret, he quickly stood up and said,""My lord, I think I should leave for a while.”
Li Feng pushed Xu Shu back to his seat and said,""Although Sir has just joined us today, I know that Sir is definitely a trustworthy person. Please don't have any doubts.”
Xu Shu couldn't help but feel grateful when he heard this. A scholar would die for a confidant. On the first day, he had already gained the lord's trust. What else could he say?
Li Feng waited for Xu Shu to sit down before continuing,"Everyone knows the situation in the north. Yuan Shao and Liu Bei will fight sooner or later, and Cao Cao won't just sit back and wait. He will definitely send troops to the north. This is the best time for us to send troops to River East, so I think everyone should prepare well during this period of time. The trip to River East may happen at any time.”
When Dian Wei heard that there was a battle, he said happily,"I, Old Dian, couldn't wait any longer. I thought I could have a good fight in Huainan, but that old kid Yuan Shu was completely vulnerable.”
"My lord, please allow me to accompany you on this trip to Jiangdong."”When they arrived at Huainan, Zhao Yun couldn't hold it in anymore since she didn't go.
Sun Ce was unwilling to be left behind." Uncle, I'm most familiar with River East. Please let me be the vanguard."”
Li Feng saw that everyone was so enthusiastic and was very happy. He raised his glass and said,"Everyone, don't worry. Everyone has their own battles to fight. Come, let's drink to the victory of the trip to Jiangdong tomorrow.”
"For tomorrow's victory!" Everyone raised their glasses.
From then on, the Xuzhou army began to intensify their training. Because the navy was very important during the Jiangdong expedition, Li Feng increased the number of navy members, and the number of navy members rose to 40,000. At this time, Li Feng also received a navy general. It was Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin's life and death brother when he was a pirate. When Jiang Qin came to join, Zhou Tai was still a little hesitant, so he watched and did not come. This time, Jiang Qin saw that his lord was expanding the navy and knew that his lord needed navy talents, so he called Zhou Tai over. Zhou Tai saw that Jiang Qin had become a high-ranking official and was put in an important position, so he immediately came. Li Feng divided the navy into two battalions, Black Tortoise and Green Dragon. Jiang Qin led Black Tortoise Battalion, and his old partner Chen Wu was the deputy. Azure Dragon Camp was led by Zhou Tai, with Xu Sheng as deputy. Seeing that he was being put in an important position, Zhou Tai couldn't help but feel extremely happy and worked extra hard.
At the same time, Li Feng took advantage of this period of leisure to send people to Nanyang and Xiangyang to look for "Crouching Dragon" Zhuge Liang and "Phoenix Chick" Pang Tong. But to his disappointment, none of them succeeded. Zhuge Liang was not at home. The messenger waited at his house for three days but did not see him. Although Pang Tong saw him, he was still unwilling to be an official, saying that he had not completed his studies. Li Feng could only helplessly give up for the time being. He would personally make a trip there in the future when he had the opportunity. No matter what, he had to invite these two people back. Otherwise, if someone else did it, he would be in big trouble.
