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

Chapter 42 How can an uncle not love his nephew?

After deciding on the personnel appointments of Zong Yu and Fu Wei, Zhuge Qiao said goodbye to Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and Ma Liang for the time being, and went to the water village alone.

Liu Bei gave Zhuge Qiao four generals, so these four generals would naturally be put to practical use.

Jiangling City and Gong'an City have Fu Wei and Zong Yu as deputy generals respectively. This not only increases the defense strength of the two cities, but also allows Mi Fang and Shiren to have someone to discuss after encountering emergencies to avoid being deceived by Lu Meng again.

Originally, Zhuge Qiao was planning to stay in Jiangling City, but Guan Yu disagreed. Guan Yu wanted to let Zhuge Qiao make military achievements and pave the way for Zhuge Qiao's official career.

Therefore, Zhuge Qiao will accompany the army in this Northern Expedition.

Although there were some changes, Zhuge Qiao also had measures to deal with them.

Jiangling City changed its center, and Mi Zhu was in charge. Mi Fang was surrounded by deputy general Fu Wei, who was famous for his loyalty and bravery.

Unless Mi Fang went crazy after gaining or losing, Jiangling City would never be dedicated again.

Having said that, Lu Meng and Lu Xun are not good at fighting, and Cao Cao is not stupid either. Whether he can really save Jingzhou and capture Xiangfan in this decisive battle, after all, only the battle will tell.

What Zhuge Qiao can do is to identify Jingzhou's internal troubles as much as possible and help Guan Yu find out and fill in the gaps.

This is also the core purpose of Zhuge Liang letting Zhuge Qiao enter the Jingzhou game as a chess player.

Arriving at the water village, Zhuge Qiao was blocked by the guard swordsman outside the commander's tent: "Master Qiao, the prince is receiving the envoy from Xichuan, please wait outside the tent."

An envoy from Nishikawa?
  Zhuge Qiao was slightly surprised.

Zhuge Liang even asked Ma Liang to send Zhuge Qiao's family letters. If there was anything he wanted to notify Guan Yu, there was no need to appoint another messenger.

Zhuge Qiao thought carefully outside the tent until the envoy inside the tent exited the commander's tent, and then he set off to enter the commander's tent.

"Ah Qiao, you're here at the right time. This is the secret message my brother gave me. Please read it first." Seeing Zhuge Qiao's arrival, Guan Yu handed the secret message to Zhuge Qiao.

Zhuge Qiao took a quick glance and suddenly understood: "General Zuo wants to make Adou the crown prince after calling him queen, so that the prince's heartache can be eliminated."

Guan Yu saw Liu Bei's attitude towards Liu Feng and was anxious in his heart. He often advised Liu Bei: If you already have a parent and son, why use a righteous son?

It's just that Liu Bei regards Liu Feng as the younger version of himself, and he doesn't listen to Guan Yu's advice.

A few days ago, Guan Yu also discussed with Zhuge Qiao whether to write a letter to Liu Bei to reiterate his attitude, but Zhuge Qiao dissuaded him from doing so.

Guan Yu was also depressed for several days because of this incident.

Now that he has received Liu Bei's secret letter, Guan Yu's worries about Liu Bei's heir have finally disappeared.

Guan Yu was in a happy mood and stroked his long beard with his right hand: "Adou is my brother's eldest son. Only by establishing him as his heir can we stabilize people's hearts. Liu Feng, just let him make some contributions."

Hearing that Guan Yu's tone still contained contempt for Liu Feng, Zhuge Qiao pondered for a moment and said: "I privately think that since Adou's heir status is confirmed, the prince's attitude towards Liu Feng should also change."

Guan Yu frowned slightly, suddenly feeling unhappy: "Ah Qiao, it's not like you don't know Liu Feng's character. He is arrogant and arrogant, with no humility at all. In addition to being like an elder brother in martial arts, in terms of caliber and etiquette, he is nothing like his elder brother. Already?"

Zhuge Qiao actually had criticisms of Liu Feng's personality.

However, Zhuge Qiao made a clear distinction between public and private matters. His criticism of Liu Feng was his private attitude towards Liu Feng, but he could not label Liu Feng as a villain and beat him to death just because of this.

"Your Majesty, you know that General Zuo adopted Adou as his heir and sent Liu Feng to garrison troops in Zigui. Why did he write to your Majesty alone?" Zhuge Qiao asked in a solemn voice.

Guan Yu said without thinking: "Of course it is to appease Liu Feng, because he is afraid that he will cause trouble in Xichuan and affect his brother's claim to the king."

Zhuge Qiao shook his head: "What you said is inappropriate. General Zuo has always treated people with sincerity. Although Liu Feng is an adopted son, he is no different from his own son in the eyes of General Zuo." "If it weren't for the advice of everyone in Xichuan, I privately think that General Zuo is planning to make Liu Feng the crown prince after he is crowned king."

"Although Liu Feng is arrogant, he is extremely filial to General Zuo."

"Human beings are not grass and trees. How can one be ruthless? General Zuo chose Adou for the sake of his own plan, and he feels indebted to Liu Fengding in his heart."

"General Zuo also knew that the prince had contempt for Liu Feng, and was worried that the prince and Liu Feng would be at odds in Jingzhou, so he sent an envoy to write."

"If the monarch still despises Liu Feng as before, wouldn't it make outsiders mistakenly think that General Zuo is a heartless and unjust person?"

"What's more, if Adou wants to establish a career in the future, he will also need the help of his relatives and brothers."

In Zhuge Qiao's letter home to Zhuge Liang, when he proposed to let Liu Feng station troops and return home, Zhuge Qiao actually had the idea of ​​​​resolving Liu Feng's tragedy.

If Liu Feng does not listen to the advice, let it go. If Liu Feng listens to the advice, there will be one more backbone fighting force among the Han generals this season.

The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of the Han Dynasty could not be completed overnight.

Adou must have relatives and brothers around him who can absolutely support Adou's interests. Otherwise, when Liu Bei's cronies, civil and military, pass away one by one, and the imperial power falls and the clan rises, the fate of the three families returning to the Jin Dynasty will not be avoided.

Whether it is to establish the Jin Dynasty after the Wei Dynasty or to establish the Jin Dynasty after the Han Dynasty, there will not be much difference in essence.

Whether it is Jin or another country, it will not make much difference.

Cao Cao could cultivate his adopted son Cao Zhen who was loyal to Wei Dynasty, why couldn't Liu Bei cultivate Liu Feng who was loyal to Ji Han?
  Zhuge Qiao's advice made Guan Yu fall into deep thought.

Regardless of Liu Feng's character, just talking about bravery and military command, only Guan Ping, the descendant of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, can beat Liu Feng.

The rest, such as Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, etc., are still new recruits.

It is clear that a mere ping is not enough.

The person who oversees the army may not be the most capable of fighting, but he must be the most trustworthy.

If you are only capable of fighting but not the most trustworthy, you will easily fall into the enemy's trap.

Guan Yu is also a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs, and will not ruin Liu Bei's major affairs because of private grudges.

Think for a long time.

Guan Yu's tone also relaxed: "What A Qiao said makes sense, and A Dou does need the help of his brothers."

"It's just that Liu Feng has always thought that he is the heir. Although my brother deceived Liu Feng into stationing troops in Zigui, as long as my brother becomes king, this matter cannot be hidden."

"Even if Guan treats Liu Feng kindly, Liu Feng may not appreciate it."

Zhuge Qiao smiled and said: "As long as you treat Liu Feng kindly, it is enough. When Liu Feng arrives in Zigui, I will go to Zigui in person to persuade him.

Guan Yu nodded slightly: "Since Aqiao wants to try to persuade Liu Feng, Guan can't cool down Aqiao's enthusiasm."

"Leave this matter to you."

"If Liu Feng can be persuaded to help Adou with all his heart, Guan will not have to give him a cold face."

"Why are you here looking for me?"
