"I have already guessed some of the young general's plans. However, the civil and military officials of the Eastern Wu are capable, and there are people like Zhou Yu who are good at fighting. If our army takes South County, I'm afraid they won't let it go easily.”Zhuge Liang lightly waved his feather fan, neither pointing it out, but also pretending to be very wise.
Liu Bei was speechless. You two have high IQ, can you not play riddles?
He glanced at Zhuge Liang, who was smiling, knowing that it would be difficult to get anything out of him.
He could not help but turn to look at Liu Feng." Feng 'er, you said that we won't take South County. Do you think Wu will give South County to us?”
"It's not a gift, it's a temporary loan."
Liu Bei narrowed his eyes, pondering over the meaning of the word "borrow".
"But you have to return it even if you borrow it. Jiangdong is known as the northern aristocratic family after crossing south, its literary prosperity is comparable to Jingxiang, there are many eloquent people. If we were to seize South County, we would be betraying the alliance. If we were careless, I would feel uneasy.”Liu Bei sighed.
Liu Feng felt disdain in his heart.
This was also Big Ear Liu. He really wanted it in his heart, but he had to keep his face tight.
Fortunately, he had a countermeasure.
"I'll only borrow South County for a month or two at most. Then, I'll be able to force the East Wu to retreat and stop taking the name of South County.”
"What plan do you have?" Liu Bei asked in a low voice.
"Father, you are the emperor's uncle. Why don't you send an envoy to Xuchang to meet the emperor? Please confer my wife Sun Shangxiang the title of Jiangling Marquis.”
"From the founding of the Han Dynasty to the rebellion of Wang Mang, there were only three women who were conferred the title of Marquis. Ever since Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty revived, there has not been a single woman conferred the title of Marquis in our Great Han.”Liu Bei was furious." Although Sun Shi is my daughter-in-law, she is also the sister of Marquis Wu of River East. Without any merit, she cannot be conferred the title of Marquis.”
"Liu Feng, don't be arrogant because of your father's love for you! This is a meeting between the three armies. If you speak impudently, don't blame me for kicking you out.”
He was only expelled, not punished.
It could be seen that Liu Bei still owed Liu Feng something.
After all, when Xinye had adopted him as his son, Liu Bei had indeed had the intention to support Liu Feng as his successor.
Zhuge Liang stroked his beard." In the past, the woman who was conferred the title of marquis was Xu Fu, Marquis of Mingmu Pavilion. She predicted that Bo Ji would give birth to the Son of Heaven. In the end, Bo Ji gave birth to Emperor Wen. She predicted that His Majesty Gaozu would become the emperor, and Xiao He would become a minister. She also predicted that Zhou Yafu would starve to death, and it came true. This marquis position was given to her by His Majesty Gaozu because she knew the secrets of heaven.”
"Lu Marquis Xi Juan, one of the eighteen founding marquises of the Great Han. During the war between Chu and Han, he made many meritorious deeds and was conferred the title of marquis.”
"The Marquis of Yin An, Qiu Shi, was the sister-in-law of Emperor Gaozu.”
"There is no need for Liang to say anything else.”
"May I ask Young General, what merits do you have to present to the Emperor for your wife to be conferred the title of Jiangling Marquis?”
When Zhuge Liang asked this question, the hall also began to discuss.
Zhang Fei said in a rough voice," Liu Feng, my elder brother is the emperor's uncle, but he's only a marquis inside the pass. Among everyone here, only my second brother was given the title of Hanshou Pavilion Marquis by Cao Cao. Even I, Old Zhang, couldn't get a marquis. Now you want your wife to be a marquis?"”
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes. He had always looked down on Liu Feng. After Liu Chan's appearance, he had distanced himself from Liu Feng even more. Today, he did not speak as rashly as Zhang Fei, but there was still some contempt in his eyes.
If Liu Feng was really unbridled for no reason, he probably would not look him in the eye in the future!
Zhao Yun suddenly cupped her fists at Liu Feng.
"Young General, this is not a small matter. A woman has never been conferred a marquis after Emperor Guangwu revived the Great Han Dynasty. If you want to set a precedent for this dynasty, I'm afraid you'll have to use a meritorious deed that will be passed down through the ages.”
Zhao Yun was a good person. She reminded herself that being a marquis was very important. Don't brag!
Liu Feng cupped his fists slightly at him." Uncle Zilong, don't worry."”
"Also, Third Uncle, with your unparalleled martial arts skills, if you want to be conferred the title of marquis and general, it's just like taking something out of your pocket. If you can't wait, Feng 'er will find it for you another day.”
" Haha..." Zhang Fei suddenly burst into laughter." Although you like to brag, I like to hear that. But don't lie to me. Otherwise, be careful that my Eight-Zhang Snake Spear won't show mercy."”
In the hall, Liu Bei's face darkened as he saw Liu Feng's bragging getting more and more vicious. He slammed the long table.
"Liu Feng, today is the meeting hall. Do you know that words are military orders?”
"If you can't do it, you shouldn't say it.”
"Guan Ping."
"Yes." Guan Ping gritted his teeth and stepped out. He and Liu Feng were brothers. If his uncle asked him to come out, wouldn't that make him inhumane?
"To discuss matters in front of the court and not do what you say, according to the rules, what is the crime?”
"Naturally, according to the rules of the military pledge, he will be beheaded!”
"However, Young General, it's just a slip of the tongue.”
Liu Bei looked at Liu Feng." Feng 'er, did you hear that?”
Liu Feng did not look sideways and looked at Big Ears Liu calmly." Of course I heard it."”
