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

Chapter 91 Worshiping Kuai Qi, Zhuge Qiao’s counterattack (1425)

Shen Dan's face looked a little ugly.

Does this mean I don’t believe you?
  This is because you don’t believe me!
  If these words reach the ears of a third person today, I'm afraid I will be chopped off by you!

"Having said that, how should the general reject Liu Feng?" Shen Dan asked cautiously.

As a powerful man who has been in Shangyong for many years, Shen Dan knows how to protect himself wisely.

Facing an arrogant warrior like Meng Da, don't act smart when you can pretend to be stupid.

Mengda snorted disdainfully: "What's so difficult about this? The mountain city has just arrived, and the people's hearts are still undecided. If we forcefully seize grain and grass, we may be in trouble with Hou Yin of Wancheng."

Shen Dan's eyelids jumped in shock.

What happened to Hou Yin in Wancheng?
  I'm not Hou Yin!

"General, the Shen family is loyal to the King of Hanzhong and will never have any second thoughts!"

"My wife, children, and clan have all moved to Chengdu. How can I follow Hou Yin's example?"

Shen Dan quickly cleared the relationship.

Meng Da saw that Shen Dan was as timid as a mouse, and he despised Shen Dan in his heart: "Prefect Shen, this is just an excuse I gave Liu Feng, don't be nervous."

"You not only surrendered, but also moved your wife, children and clan to Chengdu. How could I doubt your loyalty to the King of Hanzhong?"

Shen Dan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Dan did not move his wife, children and clan to Chengdu just to show his loyalty. With Liu Bei's character, there was no need for Shen Dan to use his wife, children and clan as hostages.

The reason for migrating his wife and children's clan is simple: as a powerful man in Shangyong, Shen Dan knew very well that after Liu Bei won the Battle of Hanzhong, the three cities of Shangyong would become a battleground between Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

If he keeps his wife and children's clan in Shangyong, he will die if he is not careful. But if he moves his wife and children's clan to Chengdu, Shen Dan will no longer worry about the safety of his wife and children's clan.

Even if Cao Cao is still in charge, he will not be able to conquer Chengdu in a short time.

For a powerful person like Shen Dan, the survival of the family outweighs fame and fortune.

Who is not loyal to?
  There is no need to pay compensation to the family.

Seeing that Meng Da insisted on rejecting Liu Feng, Shen Dan stopped trying to persuade him.

If you persuade him too much, it will arouse Meng Da's suspicion. With the military power in Meng Da's hands, Shen Dan, the Shangyong prefect, will have to give in.

Deng Fu quickly fed back Meng Da's answer to Liu Feng.

Hearing that Deng Fu refused to provide food and ships, Liu Feng couldn't help but became furious: "Deng Fu is just a partial general under Meng Da's command. Although he has temporarily taken over as the governor of Fangling, he certainly does not dare to refuse me like this."

"It must be that fellow Meng Da who deliberately instructed Deng Fu to use these excuses to reject me!"

"Do you really think that I, Liu Feng, am easy to fool?"

"Aqiao, just wait here. I'm going to kill Deng Fu. Let's see if Meng Da still dares to fool me with his words."

Fei Shi was shocked when he heard this, and quickly advised: "Deputy general, don't be impulsive; if you kill Deng Fu, Meng Da will definitely be angry."

"If this delays the prince's plan to conquer Xiangfan, the deputy general will have made a big mistake."

Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but frown.

Deng Fu's reaction surprised Zhuge Qiao.

Liu Feng did not bully Meng Da, but Meng Da's hostility towards Liu Feng was so strong?

There is another hidden meaning in this.

"It seems that Meng Da is not targeting Liu Feng at all, but the prince!"

"No wonder even Liu Ye once commented on Meng Da, 'Da has a desire to get something, but relies on his talents and skills, and he will never be grateful and righteous'."

"Do you think that because you are old, you dare to do whatever you want?"

"Humph! With Fa Xiaozhi's glory, you really think of yourself as a person." Zhuge Qiao's eyes also became a little more annoyed.

Zhuge Qiao thought he had been very cautious in handling the conflict between Shangyong Mengda and Liu Feng.

There was still something wrong.

It’s true that people’s hearts are separated from each other, and their hearts are unpredictable.

"Brother Gongzhong, don't be anxious!" Zhuge Qiao took a deep breath and said in a slightly solemn tone: "My father and uncle each have their own masters. Now that they are dead, I, as a junior, have to go to my uncle's grave to pay homage. .Brother Gongzhong can lead five hundred soldiers, wrap them in plain towels, and follow me to Fangling City to worship."

Fei Shi was even more surprised: "Mr. Qiao, why are you here too?"

Zhuge Qiao shook his head gently: "Fei Sima misunderstood. I just went to pay homage to my uncle, not to kill anyone. You and Vice General Guo stay in the camp and don't conflict with others."

"Brother Gongzhong, please put aside your anger temporarily. You are the eldest son of the king, and your words and deeds will affect the attitude of everyone in Fangling towards the king."

When Liu Feng saw Zhuge Qiao's calm tone and mentioned the identity of Liu Bei's eldest son, the anger in his heart also subsided a lot.

"Don't worry, Ah Qiao. I'm not ignorant. When we get to Fangling City, I will do whatever you say!" As the time we spent together increased, Liu Feng's trust and affection for Zhuge Qiao also increased day by day.

Fei Shi saw that Zhuge Qiao had a plan in mind and stopped trying to persuade him, so he and his deputy Guo Mu stayed at the camp.

Zhuge Qiao and Liu Feng personally led 500 soldiers, everyone wrapped in plain scarves, and came to the gate of Fangling City on the pretext of paying homage to Kuai Qi, the former prefect of Fangling.

When Deng Fu heard this, he could only bite the bullet and come to see Liu Feng and Zhuge Qiao.

Although Liu Feng and Zhuge Qiao brought troops, they were not there to raise troops to question the culprits, but to worship Kuai Qi.

Deng Fu had no reason to stop him!

"Deng Fu, the prefect of Fangling, has met the deputy general and Mr. Qiao." Deng Fu saluted cautiously, fearing that he would be found to be held accountable.

There was sadness in Zhuge Qiao's eyes: "Do you know where my uncle's grave is?"

Deng Fu said quickly: "Just one mile to the west outside the city."

Zhuge Qiao asked again: "Is my uncle's widow alone in the city?"

Deng Fu nodded: "General Meng has already given instructions to take good care of Prefect Kuai's family. I have assigned someone to take care of them."

Zhuge Qiao saluted Deng Fu and said, "Prefect Deng, could you please inform my uncle's widow that I will go with the eldest son of the King of Hanzhong to worship at my uncle's grave later. Please come."

"In addition, we will inform the officials of Fangling who have followed my uncle, whether they are in office or in official positions, they must inform them. It is up to them whether they come or not."

"If there are soldiers and people in the city who have been favored by Kuai Qi who are willing to come, there is no need to stop them."

"Prefect Deng will send someone who knows the way to follow me to my uncle's grave. I will not enter the city."

Deng Fu was surprised and secretly relieved.

As long as it's not for accountability, everything else is trivial.

Immediately, Deng Fu asked his subordinates to guide Zhuge Qiao. Zhuge Qiao did not waste any time and led troops with Liu Feng to Kuai Qi's tomb.

In Fangling City, when they heard that Zhuge Qiao, the eldest son of the military advisor general, and Liu Feng, the eldest son of the King of Hanzhong, were going to worship Kuai Qi, the officials who had followed Kuai Qi, the soldiers and people who had received Kuai Qi's favor, and Kuai Qi's widow all left the city.

There were nearly a thousand people in the crowd, and more than half of the officials in the city were gone. Deng Fu immediately turned pale!
  "The eldest son of the military advisor general, what a scheming person!"

"If I dare to make excuses for not giving money or food, no one in Fangling City will listen to me!"

"Inform the general immediately!"

The mountain city has just arrived, but the people's hearts are still undecided?
  If grain and grass are forcibly collected, might there be disaster for Hou Yin of Wancheng?

Deng Fu suddenly felt that one head was bigger than the other.

Can these nearly a thousand people traveling to worship make the people undecided?
