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

Chapter 77: Lobbying failed? Liu Feng also knows a little about swords

Yu Jin was silent.

In fact, when Yu Jin agreed to Sun Quan in Jiangling City, he had thought about bypassing Maicheng and going directly to Fancheng.

Working for Sun Quan?
Yu Jin was just captured by Guan Yu, not made stupid by Guan Yu.

But Sun Quan is not a good person either.

Not only was Yu Jin only given 10,000 soldiers and horses, but he was also only provided with three days of dry food. It was obvious that he was preventing Yu Jin from working without putting in any effort or simply running away with the food.

This forced Yu Jin to attack Maicheng in order to survive.

And now.

Liu Feng sent envoys to establish friendly relations, intending to exchange enough military supplies to go to Fancheng for the armor, flags, and weapons of Yu Jin's 10,000 men.

Although there was a suspicion of forcing Yu Jin to be demoted again, it also gave Yu Jin a new choice.

a long time.

Yu Jin stared at Dong Hui and asked, "Why should I trust Liu Feng?"

Dong Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that Yu Jin was willing to ask this question meant that there was room for negotiation on this matter.

Now that there is room for negotiation, the key lies in how to bargain.

In this regard.

Dong Hui had already made up his mind, and asked without hesitation: "General Yu, given your current situation, do you have any other choice besides trusting the son of the King of Hanzhong?"

"Although Sun Quan has distributed armor, banners and weapons to you, they are all in disarray. Even if General Yu has commanded troops for many years, it is impossible for him to command these 10,000 soldiers with low morale."

"Sun Quan did this on purpose. He wanted General Yu and the son of the King of Hanzhong to fight each other to a loss, so that he could profit from it. General Yu, do you really think that Sun Quan would let you return to Fancheng with 10,000 soldiers?"

"Furthermore, if a rumor spread to Fancheng that 'General Yu has led his people to surrender to Sun Quan', and Cao Ren also found out that General Yu helped Sun Quan attack Maicheng, can General Yu still defend his position?"

Yu Jin was silent again.

Yu Jin's reputation had already been damaged by his surrender to Guan Yu outside Fancheng. If rumors spread that he had surrendered to Sun Quan, it would be difficult for Yu Jin to defend his position.

Surrendering to Guan Yu was just surrender after all, Yu Jin did not work for Guan Yu.

If he is really working for Sun Quan and is still fighting with Liu Feng in Maicheng, I wonder how this rumor will spread.

Military Sima Dong Ligun also calmed down at this moment.

Now that the sneak attack has been discovered, it is unknown how long it will take to fight Liu Feng head-on.

If they had fought with Liu Feng in Maicheng for half a month, even Cao Cao, with his magnanimity, would have doubted whether Yu Jin and others had really surrendered to Sun Quan.

Dong Li Gun approached and whispered, "General Zuo, Sun Quan is a treacherous man. We cannot stand against Liu Feng in Maicheng for too long, otherwise rumors will spread in Fancheng. General Zhengnan has always been critical of General Zuo. If rumors spread, we will really be stuck."

Guard Hao Zhou also came forward and said, "General Zuo, I think Sun Quan and Liu Feng are both untrustworthy. Why don't we share half of their armor and weapons? We only need half of their rations, and then send someone to Fancheng to ask General Zhengnan to transport rations for us."

"This way, we can avoid rumors that might be unfavorable to General Zuo if he works for Sun Quan, and we can also avoid Liu Feng suddenly attacking and causing General Zuo to suffer further humiliation."

Yu Jin carefully considered the pros and cons and combined the suggestions of Dong Ligun and Hao Zhou, and sneered at Dong Hui: "Liu Feng sent an envoy to ask for my armor, flags and weapons. He really underestimated me."

"As long as I send someone to secretly deliver a letter to Cao Zhengnan and explain the current situation and future decisions, the rumors will be broken. What can Liu Feng do to me?"

"On the contrary, Liu Feng's own situation is worrying. As Liu Bei's adopted son, he cannot compete with Liu Chan for the position of heir, nor can he defeat Sun Quan and save Guan Yu to gain military merit to protect himself."

"Liu Feng is not far from death."

"What's more, I am now just a defeated general. Even if I can't return to Fancheng, it's my own fault. I can't blame anyone else. But if I can get the son of the King of Hanzhong to go to the underworld with me, the King of Wei will definitely treat my descendants well."

"My fellow warriors, escort Dong Hui away and don't hurt him. Otherwise, people will laugh at the fact that the officers under King Wei are all reckless bandits who don't know the etiquette of warfare and diplomatic relations." Dong Hui was stunned.

However, the warriors on both sides didn't care what Dong Hui wanted to say and just stood in front of Dong Hui with their swords in hand.

See this.

Dong Hui knew that the mission had failed.

After paying his respects to Yu Jin, Dong Hui turned and left.

Watching Dong Hui's departing figure, Dong Ligun asked in confusion, "Does General Zuo really want to work for Sun Quan?"

Hao Zhou also looked at Yu Jin in confusion: "How does General Zuo plan to overcome the current crisis?"

Yu Jin's eyes were cold and gloomy. "I expelled Dong Hui not because I wanted to work for Sun Quan, but because Dong Hui was not qualified to negotiate with me. If I want to return to Fancheng safely, I have to talk to Liu Feng face to face!"

"You two should quickly lead the troops to seize the advantageous terrain. If Liu Feng refuses to show sincerity, then we should fight him to the death and seize his military rations in Maicheng. If we succeed, we can also ask Sun Quan to return the 20,000 soldiers."

Yu Jin is not a good person either.

He was unwilling to accept his defeat by Guan Yu, so how could he truly submit to Sun Quan and Liu Feng?

Dongli Gun and Hao Zhou felt relieved when they saw that Yu Jin was scheming.

While Yu Jin and others were actively seizing favorable terrain and preparing to show off their muscles with Liu Feng, Dong Hui also returned to the camp.

"I failed to complete the general's order, please punish me." Dong Hui apologized to Liu Feng in shame. When he went there, he vowed that he could convince Yu Jin, but in the end he was driven away by Yu Jin.

Liu Feng was slightly surprised: "Yu Jin has been in such a situation, and with Xiu Xu's talent, he still failed in lobbying? I guessed wrong. This is my fault, not Xiu Xu's. How could I punish Xiu Xu? Please tell me in detail!"

Dong Hui was deeply moved.

Ordinary people would think that the lobbying failed because of Dong Hui’s lack of ability, but Liu Feng believed that it was his own miscalculation rather than Dong Hui’s lack of ability.

How can a boss who takes the initiative to take responsibility not convince his subordinates?
Dong Hui then reported to Liu Feng in detail the entire process of lobbying Yu Jin, the arguments of both sides, and the reactions of Dong Li Gun and Hao Zhou.

Presentation room.

Captain Fang Yue hurried in: "General, the scouts have reported urgently that the main force of the bandits is advancing towards us, and they have divided their troops to seize the dangerous mountains on the left and right. Should we send troops to seize the mountains?"

Dong Hui was shocked: "Does Yu Jin really want to work for Sun Quan?"

Liu Feng thought about it for a while and came up with the answer in his mind: "No matter how depraved Yu Jin is, he won't be stupid enough to work for Sun Quan. He drove away the envoys and showed off his military power. He is trying to bargain with me."

"It is impolite not to return the favor. Pass on my military orders: raise the flags, sound the drums, and each camp should draw up its weapons and hide inside the camp."

Liu Feng laughed and stood up, issuing military orders one by one.

After learning that Yu Jin's main force was approaching, Liu Feng ordered his men to light a bonfire at the camp gate.

Liu Feng stood alone at the camp gate on horseback, waiting for Yu Jin's arrival.

Yu Jin could show off his military power, and so could Liu Feng.

They are all generals in the army, who would be afraid of whom?
As the classic quote goes: If Yu Jin is unreasonable, Liu Feng also knows a little about swords.

　It will be on the shelves tomorrow, after noon, so the schedule will not be 0:00 tomorrow.

　　The current number of manuscripts is 0. I will try to have words by the time it is put on the shelves.

　　I beg for the first order (since it is released on Tuesday, the first order will also affect whether I can recommend it for promotion in the next round)

　　My physical age plus my mental age is really 75, I'm not lying.
