Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 37 The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and the palms are made of Adou

"I also know your lord's intention. The great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty is not only your ambition, lord, but also the ambition of the officials who follow my lord."

"If my lord insists on making Liu Feng the crown prince and makes all the ministers feel disheartened, how can he realize his ambition to conquer the Central Plains and revive the Han Dynasty?"

"Although Adou is young, my lord is not yet seventy years old. There is still enough time to train Adou."

"Although I am ashamed of Liu Feng, my lord can also give Liu Feng more opportunities to perform meritorious service, so that Liu Feng can be granted the title of marquis, the general, and his wife."

Zhuge Liang slowly expressed his thoughts.

It is not possible to establish Liu Feng.

This is not only Zhuge Liang's attitude, but also the attitude of many civil and military officials under Liu Bei.

If Liu Feng had Liu Bei's magnanimity, Zhuge Liang might still support Liu Feng.

however.

Liu Feng's performance was unsatisfactory since he entered Sichuan.

Not only is he arrogant and fierce, but he is also not good at discerning people's words.

This is not a qualified lord!

On the other hand, Adou, although he is young, has inherited Liu Bei's greatest advantage, being able to listen to what others say!

Although Adou did not have the courage to open up new territories, he had the character of a benevolent ruler.

After a great chaos, there should be great governance. If the person who succeeds is a strong and stubborn person who does not listen to what others say, Zhuge Liang does not think that this is a blessing for the Han people.

Liu Bei was silent.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. This is not something Liu Bei can easily decide.

"Let me think twice."

Liu Bei did not give Zhuge Liang a definite answer.

See this.

Zhuge Liang stood up and left.

It is somewhat taboo to interfere with the selection of the crown prince.

If you press too hard, it will make Liu Bei doubt the intentions of Zhuge Liang and his officials.

Since ancient times, it is not a good thing if the leader is weak and the minister is strong.

Zhuge Liang grasped the details very accurately, which not only had the effect of admonishing, but also did not cause Liu Bei to have more doubts.

After Zhuge Liang left, Liu Bei looked at the somewhat empty inner room and couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, when Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi were around, Liu Bei could still express his private thoughts.

But now Liu Bei married Mrs. Wu for political purposes, and Liu Bei cannot have a heart-to-heart relationship with Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Sun of Soochow also had political purposes. Because of Adou's incident, Liu Bei and Mrs. Sun were also destined to die.

And Liu Yong and Liu Li were Liu Bei's accidents when he was in Xichuan.

Liu Bei, who is nearly sixty years old, has no woman around him who can tell the truth.

In addition to the ambition of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of the Han Dynasty, the only people Liu Bei could entrust his heart to were Liu Feng and Adou.

Liu Fengwu is brave and fierce, most like the young Liu Bei; A Dou Ren is gentle and listens to others, and most like the middle-aged Liu Bei.

No matter who he gave up, Liu Bei was unwilling.

"Mencius said: The fish is what I want, and the bear's paw is also what I want; you cannot have both, for you would give up the fish and take the bear's paw."

"Although it is unfair to Feng'er, for the great cause of the Han Dynasty, we have to make a choice."

Liu Bei's eyes gradually became firmer.

finally.

Liu Bei still chose to abandon Liu Feng.

Just as Zhuge Liang advised, if you insist on using Liu Feng as the crown prince, how can the disappointed ministers be willing to do their best to assist Liu Feng?
  If the ambition of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of the Han Dynasty could not be fulfilled, Liu Bei felt that he would be ashamed of his ancestors.

Think of this.

Liu Bei took the map and pondered it carefully. Since he decided to make Adou the crown prince, Liu Bei had to transfer Liu Feng to another party.

If the external transfer is done by guarding the local area, it is easy to make Liu Feng dissatisfied; only by giving Liu Feng the opportunity to perform meritorious service can Liu Feng be less worried.

But where to send Liu Feng, Liu Bei had some difficulties.

There will be no major war in Hanzhong in the short term. Both Liu Bei and Cao Cao are waiting for the opportunity and do not dare to start a war easily.

The only ones who can make meritorious deeds are Dongsanjun and Xiangfan.

"There is Mengda in the East Three Counties. With Mengda's ability, it will not be difficult to capture the East Three Counties."

"Xiangfan has Yun Chang. With Yun Chang's ability, it will not be difficult to capture Xiangfan."

"Whether Feng'er is sent to Dongsan County or Xiangfan, he is suspected of stealing credit."

"Yun Chang has always disliked Feng'er. If Feng'er is allowed to go to Xiangfan, it may cause discord between the two of them."

"If it's Dongsan County"

While Liu Bei was thinking, he thought of the advice Zhuge Qiao gave to Zhuge Liang's family.

Obviously, Zhuge Qiao was worried that Liu Feng would be at odds with Meng Da if he went to Dongsan County.

"It's really difficult!" Liu Bei rubbed his forehead.

If you employ people improperly, it can easily cause accidents and then affect the overall situation.

After careful consideration, Liu Bei decided to adopt Zhuge Qiao's advice and send Liu Feng to Zigui.

Simultaneously.

Liu Bei drafted another letter to Guan Yu. The main content of the letter was to make Adou the crown prince, hoping that Guan Yu would allow Liu Feng to make some contributions to make up for his debt to Liu Feng.

By the time the letter was written, it was already early in the morning, but Liu Bei still didn't feel sleepy.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Bei called Chen Dao and asked Chen Dao to send his cronies to rush the letter to Jiangling City.

After Chen Dao left, Liu Bei sent someone to summon Liu Feng.

There are some things where Liu Feng has to be appeased in person.

Although Liu Feng was arrogant and fierce, he obeyed Liu Bei's words.

Hearing Liu Bei's summons, Liu Feng came to see Liu Bei without even bothering to eat.

"Father! You should pay more attention to your rest." Liu Feng greeted him when he met him. Seeing that Liu Bei's eyes were bloodshot, he immediately guessed that Liu Bei must not have had a good rest last night.

When he was fighting Cao Cao in Hanzhong, Liu Feng often saw Liu Bei staying up all night to deal with military affairs.

Seeing that Liu Bei showed signs of staying up late again, Liu Feng's tone became a little more worried.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Liu Bei heard Liu Feng's concern and felt even more guilty: "Feng'er is in Chengdu, how are you getting along with Adou?"

Liu Feng suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He carefully considered his words and said, "Adou studies hard and has little free time. He didn't disturb the children."

Liu Bei had raised Liu Feng for more than ten years. How could Liu Bei not see Liu Feng's thoughts?

Seeing that the relationship between Liu Feng and Adou was still not that of a brother, Liu Bei felt quite uncomfortable.

"Feng'er, I need you to do something for me." Liu Bei put away his thoughts and his tone became increasingly serious.

Liu Feng's heart trembled, and he clasped his fists and said, "My father's business is my child's business. Please give me your instructions."

Liu Bei came to the map and said in a solemn voice: "Cao Cao is still in Chang'an. My armies in Hanzhong and Xichuan cannot be easily mobilized."

"Therefore, I secretly ordered Yunchang to wait for an opportunity in Jingzhou to seize Xiangfan, and also ordered Mengda to go to Zigui and send troops to attack the three eastern counties."

"The danger of this battle is no less than the battle between Hanzhong and Cao Cao, so I need someone I can absolutely trust to station troops in Zigui and support Meng Da and Yunchang."

"If I send Zilong, Yide, and Hansheng there, I'm worried that they will compete with Meng Da and Yunchang for credit and ruin my layout in Jingzhou."

"But if you don't send the general, it will be useless to leave him."

"After much thought, only Feng Erqian is the most suitable."

"Feng'er, are you willing to lead your troops to Zigui and coordinate the war between the two places for me?"
