Chapter 554: Advance and retreat issues

At the same time, troops were also being reorganized outside Shouchun City. () Zhao Yun and Gan Ning each led a thousand elite troops and integrated them into Liu Xun's army, training day and night.

A little blending.

This army of 6,000 people is the trump card during the alliance.[

On this day, Dong Guang arrived in Shouchun again. This time, he brought Liu Bei's final decision.

Liu Xun went out of the city to meet Dong Guang and entered the prefect's mansion. After greeting for a while, the two of them sat down respectively.

"How? I don't know how Liu Xuzhou makes a decision." Liu Xun asked immediately after sitting down.

"My lord has agreed with Liu Shouchun's method. Half a month later, the two sides will meet at the border and make an alliance through bloodshed in public. From then on, they will become the horns of each other and advance and retreat together."

Dong Guang said with a smile on his face.

"good."

Liu Xun clasped his hands and smiled, but he was really happy. After all, last time it was wishful thinking, but now they are in love. They set a trap, and Liu Bei was willing to jump into it.

Unless there is a clear winner or loser in this matter, there will no longer be any surprises.

happy.

"Since the news has been transmitted, I will go back and recover first." Dong Guang raised his fist and said.

"Please." Liu Xun stood up to see the guests off.

After Dong Guang left, Liu Xun got up and went back to report to Liu Feng.

Five days later, Liu Feng, Liu Xun, Zhao Yun, and Gan Ning led an army of six thousand to the east. Ten days later, they arrived at Yingshui. Yingshui not only divided Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

Linhuai County and Guangling County were also divided.

The two parties agreed that the place where the alliance would be held was the boundary between the territories of both parties. Naturally, after arriving at Yingshui, Liu Feng and his party began to set up camp.

After setting up camp, Liu Feng did not show up because it was daytime, fearing that there were Liu Bei's spies nearby. When night fell, Liu Feng led Liu Xun, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others as well as a group of guards to inspect Yingshui.

Today is the transition between spring and summer, and the temperature is very comfortable. Liu Feng stood on the bank of Yingshui River, facing the warm wind, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"Across this water, Xuzhou is ahead. I don't know when I can ride in Xuzhou." Liu Feng sighed and said.

There are thirteen states in the world, and although he has obtained the land of six counties, it is actually still very small.[

"Within ten years, the young master will definitely get his wish." Zhao Yun said immediately.

"Why ten years? If this battle can be won, the young master will be able to enter Xuzhou. Within five years, the young master will be appointed as the vanguard to wipe out Xuzhou and make the young master ride on Xuzhou." Gan Ning said with a smile.

One of them is more arrogant than the other.

Liu Xun beside him was stunned when he heard this, but he was also happy in his heart. This general under Lu Su was so sharp and reliable.

"Five years is a bit early. I don't know if it's ten years." Liu Feng said with a smile when he heard this. If we fight for Xuzhou with all our strength, the five years mentioned by Gan Ning can be achieved with certainty.

But it is unlikely that Liu Feng will fight for Xu Capital, fight for Luoyang, the old capital, and invade Jingzhou and Yizhou. Too many, too many.

As for ten years, I don't know. However, after ten years, he will only be twenty years old. It's still very early. Why is there such urgency? As long as he can save his father, the emperor and his mother, it doesn't matter if he can calm down the world in twenty or thirty years.

There is still a long way to go, so why put so much pressure on yourself?

Gan Ning was a little unconvinced when he heard this, but he did not argue. He secretly made up his mind to train his troops diligently and lead the way for Liu Feng to invade Xuzhou.

After a group of people stood on the bank of Yingshui River for a moment, Zhao Yun suddenly said: "Master, we are meeting on the edge of Yingshui River, but one of us must cross Yingshui River and go to the other side's territory to make alliance. Liu Bei, he

Will you come?"

"This." Liu Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he didn't think of this loophole.

Crossing the Yingshui River and joining an alliance with the opponent means risking everything. After all, if you cross the Yingshui River and reach the opponent's territory, it means that it will be difficult to come back.

Can Liu Bei come? Liu Feng raised a question mark in his heart. But from another perspective, is he willing to come?

Liu Feng slightly hesitated.

Liu Xun and Gan Ning were also troubled by Zhao Yun's problem.

After Liu Feng hesitated for a while, he smiled freely and said: "Never mind it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. Let's wait until Liu Bei arrives."

"Promise." Zhao Yun promised.

Immediately, Liu Feng began to quietly enjoy the warm breeze and watch the flow of Yingshui. It was not until the dead of night that Liu Feng gave the order: "Let's go back to camp and rest."

"promise."

Everyone agreed and followed Liu Feng back to the camp.

Liu Feng got up early the next morning. As soon as he got up, he didn't even have breakfast, when he saw Zhao Yun walking in.

"Sir, according to reports from spies, Liu Bei's army has arrived." Zhao Yun reported.[

"Hmm. What about him? Should he cross the river in one go? Or camp on the other side?" Liu Feng calmly hummed and asked.

According to the plan, the time for the alliance meeting was five days later. But it was necessary to arrive early. Liu Feng was not surprised. He was concerned about whether Liu Bei would lead his troops across the river and choose to meet the alliance here.

"Liu Bei began to set up camp on the other side." Zhao Yun said.

"This guy doesn't completely trust Liu Xun, he's also scared." Liu Feng said with a slight sneer when he heard this. Distrust means that there is something wrong in his heart. Liu Feng is now 100% sure.

The alliance was just a means for Liu Bei, and the real annexation of Shouchun was Liu Bei's intention.

"If there is no trust, it is impossible for the two sides to meet on the same shore and form an alliance. Even if there is an alliance, then the chance of winning a sneak attack may not be great." Zhao Yun said worriedly.

Liu Feng pondered for a moment after hearing this. Indeed, if both parties did not trust each other, a sneak attack would be impossible. How to gain Liu Bei's trust?

After pondering for a long time, Liu Feng suddenly ordered: "Summon Gan Ning and Liu Xun to come in to discuss important matters."

"Promise." Zhao Yun agreed and immediately went down to summon Gan Ning. Liu Xun went. Soon after, Zhao Yun and the three of them walked in together.

"Son."

The three of them paid their respects together.

"Yes." Liu Feng nodded, and then he briefly explained the current situation. Finally, he said: "I have decided to cross the river into Guangling territory, with the Yingshui River as my back, and form an alliance with Liu Bei."

Liu Xun was shocked when he heard this and said: "Master, this is too childish. If after crossing the river, Liu Bei has no good intentions and instead attacks us. It will be difficult for us to retreat safely with our back to Yingshui River."

Yes, Liu Feng's reputation is indeed very great. He even insulted Liu Ye in person, but instead scolded Liu Ye to go to the north and become a lonely minister of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xun also admired him.

But after all, Liu Feng looked young, and Liu Xun was not completely convinced by Liu Feng. Naturally, he was unwilling to risk entering the other side to fight Liu Bei.

If it fails, there will be no way to escape.

Compared with Liu Xun's sudden change of expression, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning's expressions were much better. The two of them had unconditional trust in Liu Feng, knowing that Liu Feng would never risk success or failure.
