Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 14: Meng Zijing, I am the commander of this Shangyong
"Deputy General, we came to Shangyong to defend it. How can we defend Shangyong if we only rely on a group of rabble? Don't forget that you are the king's adopted son. You have to consider the king's great cause!"

Meng Da emphasized the word "adopted son" to remind Liu Feng of his identity.

Liu Feng waved his finger in a circle and said, "General Meng, first of all, I have to correct your words. Everyone present here is a virtuous and wise man, and the volunteers they recruited must be brave and strong, not a mob."

"Secondly, my father has always been a virtuous man throughout his life, and has always taken 'leniency, kindness, and loyalty' as the foundation of his career. If I let my father lose his credibility in the world because of a small matter, it would be unfilial."

"Besides, Shangyong has its own taxes to support the army, so there is no need to rob the wise men of their money and food."

Meng Da was so angry that his beard began to tremble.

Are you here to protect the country and the people?

Am I here just to rob?

You are the good guy and I am the bad guy?
Meng Da was already angry because he was deceived by Shen Dan, and now he was regarded as a villain by Liu Feng. Thinking that the credit for defeating Shangyong was snatched away by Liu Feng, Meng Da could no longer bear the anger in his heart.

"Deputy Army General, you have never been a governor, so you don't know that the taxes in this county are closely related to the registered citizens."

"The registered population of Shangyong is not as many as the tenants of the Bei family who applied for tax collection. How can we support 5,000 soldiers and horses with that little tax?"

"If the taxes are too heavy, the registered citizens of Shangyong will definitely flee. When the people are displaced and rebellious people arise everywhere, how can we preserve Shangyong?"

Shen Dan's face changed drastically and he secretly cursed Meng Da for being shameless.

What do you mean the registered people in Shangyong are less than the tenants in my family?
What good will it do you to dig up my assets?
Not only did Shen Dan's face change drastically, but the faces of the wealthy and famous people present also changed.

What is a wealthy family?

Only when one has a large population and a vast territory can one be called a powerful family.

No matter where these people and land came from, once they are in our mouths, there is no reason to spit them out.

Liu Feng's proposal to form an army of volunteers tied the interests of the powerful families together, and therefore gained the support of the powerful and famous people present.

Meng Da’s idea was simple and crude: I will station troops here, and you have to use money and food to support my soldiers.

Typical warlord mentality.

This is also the reason why Shen Dan and many wealthy and famous people avoid Meng Da as much as possible.

Although there is no direct evidence, in the eyes of many nobles and celebrities, Kuai Qi's "death in the chaos of war" was Meng Da's deliberate killing to establish his authority.

The purpose is to tell the nobles and celebrities in the three counties of Shangyong: those who obey me will prosper, and those who resist me will perish.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei doubted Meng Da's ability.

If the counties in the rear are stable, there is naturally no problem in using tough methods to suppress the powerful and famous.

But where are the three counties of Shangyong?
This is the front line!

On the front line, you use a tough approach to suppress the powerful and famous?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to handing over Shangyong to Cao Wei?
Liu Feng took in all the changes in everyone's expressions, and his eyes gradually became cold.

Suddenly.

Liu Feng threw the wine jar in his hand to the ground and shouted: "Meng Zijing, please be aware of your identity!"

"You are only a lieutenant general in the army. I am the chief general of Shangyong! It is not your turn to formulate the laws of Shangyong!"

A loud shout startled Meng Da on the spot.

Shen Dan and other prominent figures from different families also looked at Liu Feng in horror.

At this moment, Liu Feng was like an angry lion, exuding a terrifying aura from his whole body.

Seeing Meng Da's dissatisfied expression, Liu Feng's tone became even colder:

"You have allowed the soldiers to disregard the law these days. I will not bother with you for the sake of the Shangshu Ling."

"If you dare to talk nonsense and disrupt my rules again after drinking, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship."

"Don't think that the four thousand Han soldiers who follow you are your private army, and don't think that you can be confident of your military power just because you have four thousand troops."

"Back then, I followed Zhuge Junshi and others up the river to attack Yizhou. We were victorious wherever we went, and I was promoted to Deputy Army Lieutenant General for my military merits." "In the past few years, I followed my father to confront Cao Cao in Hanzhong, beheading generals, seizing flags, breaking through enemy lines, and accumulating military merits. I should have been promoted long ago."

"Do you really think that I was promoted to deputy general just because of my military exploits in defeating Shangyong?"

How powerful is Liu Feng?
Using only first-class and second-class is not intuitive enough.

When Liu Feng was defeated and retreated to Shangyong, he was besieged by Meng Da, Xiahou Shang and Xu Huang from outside, and Shen Dan and Shen Yi rebelled from within.

Despite being so outnumbered, Liu Feng was able to break through and return to Chengdu.

Whether in terms of personal bravery or battlefield command, Liu Feng could not be compared with Meng Da, a general who had hardly ever been on the battlefield since he joined Liu Bei.

Fa Zheng’s strategy is really high.

Meng Da is purely superficial.

Battle records can be deceiving, battle lines can be deceiving, and if there is neither battle records nor battle lines, then it is not deceiving.

For Liu Feng, whose memory has been awakened, the experiences of the past twenty years are real.

Liu Feng's self-confidence comes not only from his awakened memories, but also from the martial arts he has acquired over twenty years of training, as well as the life-and-death experiences he has experienced on the battlefields of Sichuan and Hanzhong in the past few years.

Quiet.

The whole banquet became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

When Liu Feng got angry, he looked like a mad lion, showing his bravery.

It makes sense that Liu Bei doted on Liu Feng.

Liu Feng looks too much like Liu Bei when he was young.

Now that Liu Feng's memory has awakened, he becomes more gentle, elegant and benevolent when he is not angry.

Meng Da also had this feeling at this moment, as if he was facing Liu Bei instead of Liu Feng.

[He is just the adopted son of the king who failed in his bid for the throne, how can he have such a powerful aura?

Just for a moment, I was actually scared?

Do not!
How could I be afraid of a king's adopted son who failed in his bid for succession! 】

Although he didn't want to admit defeat, Meng Da gritted his teeth and didn't have the courage to refute.

The terrifying atmosphere created by the life-and-death fighting on the battlefield was not something that Meng Da, a newcomer to the battlefield who had just captured the two small cities of Fangling and Shangyong, could easily withstand.

at this time.

Shen Shu, who was standing by, silently took a new wine bottle, poured a bottle of wine and handed it to Liu Feng: "General, you are so powerful, you should drink this bottle to the full."

Liu Feng took the wine jar and looked around: "Everyone, are you willing to join me in building a righteous army?"

Shen Dan reacted the fastest, and quickly picked up the wine bottle and echoed loudly: "General, you are so powerful. I am willing to build a righteous army with you."

The nobles and celebrities also reacted one after another, raising their cups to echo: "General, you are so powerful. We are willing to join you in building a righteous army."

Liu Feng drank the wine in the jug to the full and laughed loudly: "With the help of all the wise men, Shangyong will not have to worry even if Cao Cao personally leads his army to attack."

Wild laughter rang out at the banquet.

Liu Feng took advantage of Shen Dan's goodwill and used the beauty trap to win the day. Not only did he truly establish his prestige in front of Shen Dan and other celebrities from the Shangyong noble families, but he also suppressed Meng Da's disrespectful attitude in recent days.

Meng Da clenched his fists secretly.

From beginning to end, Meng Da was plotted against by Liu Feng.

This feeling of humiliation made Meng Da very upset.

How can a adopted son of a poor family be superior to me?
Hateful!
