Zhuge Liang smiled and said,
"The Eastern Wu's sneak attack on the Jing State was a lot of trickery.
If it wasn't for Mi Fang's betrayal, the Jing State would only have lost one or two cities!
If Wu knows that General Guan is in Yong 'an, he will be afraid that General Guan will take revenge.
They would definitely send troops to guard against the general and would not dare to attack!”
Zhang Fei couldn't help but clap his hands and praise,"
"Military counselor, this plan is very clever. They sneakily attacked and took Jingzhou from second brother.
Now that they had allowed their second brother to confront them, the generals of Dongwu would definitely be afraid of him and only think about defense!”
Liu Bei also felt that Zhuge Liang's move was not bad. He suppressed Dongwu psychologically and nodded.
"Second brother will rest for half a month and then go to Yong 'an to exchange for Zilong.”
"There is no need to be anxious about this matter."
Guan Yu was about to agree when Fa Zheng raised his hand to stop him. A strange smile appeared on his pale lips.
"The Eastern Wu took the Jing State and imprisoned the Second General. How can they let this go so easily?”
When Zhang Fei saw Fa Zheng's smile, he knew that he definitely had some plan.
He couldn't help but look forward to it. He rubbed his hands and asked,
"Xiaozhi, tell me what plan you have. If you can make Dongwu suffer, I will be the first to support you.”
Everyone was tired after running around for days, especially Liu Feng.
He felt like his entire body was falling apart from the jolting of the horse's back. He fell asleep the moment he returned to his residence.
The next morning, she still felt uncomfortable all over.
After washing up, they arrived at the Chengdu government meeting hall. There were already people arriving in twos and threes.
When they saw Liu Feng, they greeted him warmly.
Liu Feng was not conferred the title of heir, but he was still Liu Bei's adopted son.
Furthermore, he had risked his life to save Guan Yu, and his contribution was not small.
Not long after, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang arrived one after another. Liu Bei looked around and found that Guan Yu was not there. He asked,
"Why hasn't Chief Yun arrived yet?"
Liu Feng thought that Guan Yu and Liu Bei were together.
Only then did he realize that not only was Guan Yu absent, Guan Ping and Guan Xing were also absent.
He couldn't help but frown.
Why would he escape punishment if he was bent on atoning for his sins?
Zhang Fei stepped forward and said,
"Big brother, second brother has been tired from the journey these past few days.
Let him rest for a while. If there's anything, let's talk about it first!”
The civil and military officials had other ideas. Liu Bei was promoting the rule of law in Shu.
Law and etiquette were used together, prestige and virtue were used concurrently, and Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Yi Ji, Liu Ba and Li Yan were allowed to compile Shu Ke. Everything must be treated fairly.
Today was the day to reward and settle scores.
Guan Yu might not be able to put down his face because of the Jing State incident and was absent on purpose.
Liu Bei did not force them. He gestured for everyone to take their seats and said slowly,
"Although I took Hanzhong, Jingzhou was attacked by Dongwu.
The soldiers and horses of the various regions needed to be redeployed, and the defensive line had to be rearranged.
Now, please explain the situation to the military counselor. For the sake of the great cause of the Han Dynasty, everyone must obey!”
Everyone agreed. Zhuge Liang stood up and looked around.
"Although the Second General's loss of Jingzhou was related to Mi Fang and Fu Shiren's betrayal, he still has the responsibility of a commander.
Considering his past meritorious service, he ordered him to be stripped of his post and demoted to General Zhendong.
The three generals were promoted to former generals and Zilong to rear generals.”
Guan Yu had been demoted two ranks in a row, so no one had any objections.
It wouldn't affect Guan Yu's position and prestige in the army.
It was just a matter of atonement.
Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei with an emotionless expression and continued,
"Liu Feng first captured Shangyong and then sent troops to rescue the Second General.
He killed Wu generals Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong, and on his way back, he destroyed the plan of Wei's sneak attack on Hanzhong.
He made great contributions and was promoted to General of the North Town.”
Liu Feng was a little surprised this time. Everyone's gazes were also focused on him.
Liu Feng was previously just a general of a mixed name and had never been put in an important position.
In this battle, he had indeed stood out.
Everyone had expected a promotion, but they didn't expect to be promoted to the rank of General of the North, the same rank as Guan Yu.
The most important thing was that he was the general of the North, which meant that he had the power to open a residence.
As long as they guarded a region in the future, they could establish a government office and choose their own subordinates, which was a qualitative difference from a general with a miscellaneous title.
Surprised, Liu Feng did not have the time to talk about his promotion. He first told the two of them the doubts in his heart.
Xun Yuan pondered for a while. His opinion was similar to Liu Feng's.
"General Guan didn't show any signs of being injured along the way, and he was able to fight General Zhang and General Ma for hundreds of rounds.
It could be seen that his body was fine. How could he suddenly fall ill?”
After receiving Xun Yuan's affirmation, Liu Feng's heart stirred.
Thinking of a possibility, he looked at Xun Yuan's expression and suddenly said,
"Eastern Wu?"
"Not bad!"
Xun Yuan nodded repeatedly.
"In this subordinate's opinion, I'm afraid they're going to make a move against Dongwu.”
"It can't be?"
Deng Ai was shocked and frowned."
"It's almost winter, and the weather is freezing.
The vegetation was withered and cold, so it was not suitable to send troops!”
Liu Feng saw that Xun Yuan thought the same and was even more certain. He smiled and said,"
"We don't have to use troops against Dongwu.
Doesn't he know that now is not the time to send troops? I think they just don't want Dongwu to get Jingzhou for nothing!”
Xun Yuan nodded in agreement.
"It's very possible. After all, Cao Cao's army is currently the strongest, and Sun Quan has submitted to him.
This wasn't a good thing. If they could continue to ally with the East Wu, they would have a chance to turn things around!”
Just as the three of them were discussing, the bodyguard came in and reported,"
"General, His Majesty invites you to General Guan's residence!”
PS: It was too painful at noon and I couldn't write at all, so I dragged it on until now!
