In the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Bei was sitting high in the hall, stroking his beard.
"Military Advisor, you are right. Feng 'er went to the military camp early in the morning and took over the three thousand soldiers of the Zechong Camp.”
"It is naturally good that Young General has an aggressive spirit. Didn't the lord also give him some elite soldiers and generals, and transferred the few generals that Liang thought highly of to his subordinates?”
"That Huo Jun didn't have any outstanding battle achievements under Liu Biao's command, but his ability to lead the army was inherited from his brother.”Liu Bei nodded.
"That Chen Shi and Xiang Chong are both minor military officers, yet they can actually gain the favor of the military counselor.”
"General Xiang Chong is Xiang Lang's nephew. He has been educated since he was young and has a strict family style. He has a set of military training methods and is strict in managing the army.”
"As for Miss Chen, she is not as brave as Guan, Zhang, Zhao, and Huang, nor is she as strong as Wei Wenzhang. However, she is more than enough to be a deputy general.”
"My lord doesn't lack generals, but we are in urgent need of vice-generals.”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment." Advisor Jun, you are right.”
Although Liu Bei didn't want Liu Feng to train his own troops in the army, he had just ordered Liu Feng to lead an army by himself and separate him from the paper mill and printing workshop. He couldn't use Liu Feng anymore, so he could only let him train his troops for several days.

"Reporting…reporting to my lord, Gan Ning, the general of Zhou Yu's army, was defeated outside Jiangling City. Later, Zhou Yu led his army and arrived. Zhou Yu was shot by an arrow and was thrown into disarray. The Wu army was defeated by Cao Ren and was defeated twice in a row.”
Liu Bei was excited." Advisor Jun, can we move now?"”
"My lord, you can order the young general's camp to retreat. Set up a ferry, cross the river north, bound for Jiangling.”
Liu Bei frowned slightly." There are Eastern Wu sentries in Jiangbei. If we cross the river with such fanfare, I'm afraid Zhou Yu will be alerted."”
"Don't worry, my lord. I've already ordered General Zilong to lead two thousand cavalry and infantry troops to silently cross the river twenty miles upstream last night.”
Liu Bei suddenly stood up." Advisor Jun, you are indeed a master of foresight. My son Liu Feng's army was just a fake, right?"”
"But…"
"Previously, Feng 'er said that he wanted to capture Cao Ren and force Cao Cao to release Mister Yuanzhi. Zilong only had this few soldiers and horses under his command. It was not difficult for him to seize Jiangling while he was weak, but it was not enough to capture Cao Ren.”
"My lord, there is no need to worry." Zhuge Liang pointed outside the city," Didn't you send the five hundred warhorses from the four counties of Jingnan to the Major General's camp?”
"Right now, we only need to transfer Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong into the Zhe Chong Camp.”
"Even if Zhou Yu is on guard against our army, he will at most send out a general to guard against us. If we have five hundred cavalry and these generals command them, capturing Cao Ren among the ten thousand troops will be a piece of cake.”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment." So, Feng 'er's path is the true trump card?”
Zhuge Liang felt like laughing when he saw how upset Liu Bei was.
His lord seemed to be benevolent, but he was not a broad-minded person.
"My lord, everyone thinks that the young general is your adopted son, so they look down on him.”
"Now that he is married to Wu Hou's sister, I think the Wu generals won't make things too difficult for him after knowing that he is the Commanding General. This way, our army will have a chance to capture Cao Ren.”
"Alright, then order Liu Feng to cross the river at night. We must help Zilong take South County before Zhou Yu plots to take it.”It would be best if they could capture Cao Ren and exchange him for Xu Shu.
However, taking South County was Liu Bei's only goal.
"But…after taking South County, I'm afraid his prestige in the army will rise a little. If he's on good terms with the generals, it'll be difficult to suppress him in the future.”Liu Bei glanced at the backyard and began to worry about his two-year-old son.
