Chapter 563: The feasibility of Zhuge (first update)

Under Liu Feng's expectant gaze, Xu Shu thought for a long time before nodding: "Kong Ming is not those hermits. The reason why hermits are called hermits is because they are not learning to govern the world. However, what Kong Ming learned is capable of conquering heaven and earth. If he is willing to retire, why should he learn this kind of talent?"

"Just." As he said that, Xu Shu lowered his head slightly and hesitated.

"Just what?" Liu Feng was shocked and asked. At the critical moment, Xu Shu said something but it made people feel entangled.

"But, lord, do you understand Kong Ming?" Xu Shu raised his head and asked Liu Feng.

Liu Feng was asked a little puzzled, but he shook his head. Understanding means understanding. Zhuge Liang's height in later generations and his abilities can be analyzed from various aspects.

But this cannot be said to Xu Shu.

"Kong Ming, he actually wants to use it for the purpose." Xu Shu sighed, raised his head and looked forward, as if he was staring into the distance.

"Kong Ming has the talent of conquering the world, and he is also very proud. His strategy of governing the country does not require others to intervene. And the strong people in the world, such as Cao Cao, Sun Quan, have countless important officials around him, and the interests are too conflicted. If Kong Ming defected, it would be difficult to intervene, so he chose Liu Bei. Although there was another Liu Bei suppressing him, it was better than Sun Quan and Cao Cao's side, there were more capable people around him." Xu Shu said to Liu Feng.

Zhuge Liang, in Xu Shu's eyes, is that kind of person. He is very capable, but he has a kind of possessiveness, which is a nearly instinctive desire to control everything.

After hearing this, Liu Feng's passion was gradually wiped out. Xu Shu's narrative, plus everything about Zhuge Liang in Liu Feng's mind.

This made Liu Feng outline the image of Zhuge Liang in his heart.

In history, Zhuge Liang's reputation was more ruined. But his image was not too positive. First of all, he was a powerful minister. He controlled the government and almost undermined Liu Chan. He reached every detail of everything, and asked Yu Liang.

This directly led to Liu Chan's repeal of the prime minister after Zhuge Liang's death, and Jiang Wan and Fei Yi were in charge of the government and military power respectively.

This is a point where Zhuge Liang got into trouble, a powerful minister. But on the other hand, Zhuge Liang is a moral model. Because Zhuge Liang is the only person who can usurp the throne, but always maintains a relationship with Liu Chan in a monarch-subject relationship and has not taken that step.

Liu Feng didn't know what the situation was like in history. But this is the fact that Zhuge Liang did not usurp the throne.

He is an important official who assists the monarch.

These, coupled with Xu Shu's narrative, Zhuge Liang's image became fuller. This person had a great desire for power, but was also bound by morality.

In the end, the man who followed the doctrine of the mean was both abusing power, but did not usurp the throne.

Only Zhuge Liang, the powerful ministers in history, did this. Logically speaking, this is a very awesome person.

But in the eyes of feudal kings, this was still a powerful minister and was not worthy of praise. Therefore, Guan Yu, a loyal and righteous person in history, stepped into the altar from a military general.

But Zhuge Liang is still an ancient wise minister.

And Liu Feng is now in that position. Therefore, if Zhuge Liang comes, it may lead to some problems.

Therefore, Xu Shu reminded Liu Feng in advance.

However, Liu Feng also had his own decision. Therefore, after a while, Liu Feng no longer struggled with this issue. Zhuge Liang was independent and powerful. But could he compare to Sima Yi? This guy was independent, powerful and usurped the throne.

Liu Feng dared to use Sima Yi, let alone Zhuge Liang?

Now is a period of development, we must embrace all rivers and obtain all kinds of talents to govern the southeast side, deepen prosperity, and increase the population.

Only by continuous development can one be qualified to develop with the entire north. Otherwise, if the prosperity of the north is restored, it will be the end of the historical situation where Jin unified the Three Kingdoms.

In this era, the economic talent advantage in the north is too great.

"Even if it is a dragon and tiger, it must be kept under my tent. I want to use him." Liu Feng smiled slightly and said to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu did not feel surprised by Liu Feng's answer. Because Liu Feng was the king, he was also the kind of person who was eager to seek talent.

Judging from the people he used, Pang Tong, Jiang Wan, Liu Ba, Sima Yi, etc., they all used their own means, either seeking or captive.

Liu Feng can be said to be a very confident person. He dares to use anyone and can control him with confidence.

"It's just that he went to Xichuan." Xu Shu said to Liu Feng. This is the last question.

"Catch it down." Liu Feng said very domineeringly, crossing Jingshu, which was originally the power of Shu Kingdom in the early stage. Now Liu Feng is much stronger than Liu Bei in history. Can't he still win Xichuan?

"However, you have to go to Xiangyang first. That city is a heavy city that Liu Biao has managed for more than ten years, and Yu Jin and Zhou Yu are also considered a dragon and tiger lying on each other." Liu Feng said, since Xu Shu promised him that it is very likely that he would invite Zhuge Liang as long as he conquers Yizhou. Then Liu Feng was relieved of this matter, and he was not in a hurry anyway. The most urgent matter is still the matter in Xiangyang.

"Let's reorganize the soldiers first and arrange the surrendered soldiers and wounded soldiers. However, I thought I could take Xiangyang with these troops, but it might not be enough to reach Xudu. We also need the help of elite soldiers." Xu Shu nodded and said.

"Elite soldiers?" Liu Feng frowned. Xu Shu's words were quite reasonable. After fighting with Zhou Yu, Xu Huang and Liu Bei, they surrendered many prisoners, but in the end they were almost the same. Moreover, they were all soldiers as a whole, and there were many surrendered soldiers, which took some time to digest. The combat power may have been reduced a lot.

You know, Cao Cao still has 100,000 troops entrenched in Xudu. If there are fewer troops, how can he achieve the goal of stunning the world?

Suddenly, Liu Feng remembered an elite soldier and couldn't help but ask: "How is the Shanyue soldiers?"

When Xu Shu heard this, he frowned and then nodded, "It's time to train, and you can go north to fight."

"Okay, I'll write to Huang Zhong and order him to lead his troops north. Please ask the teacher to go down and preside over the trivial matters of arranging the surrendered soldiers and the wounded soldiers." Liu Feng nodded and said to Xu Shu.

"No." This is a matter of duty, Xu Shu said in response.

After a while, the two parted in the tent, and Xu Shu went down to work. Liu Feng also drafted the document and planned to send it to Huang Zhong.

At the beginning, Liu Feng knocked about 600,000 Shanyue people on Jiangdong. This part of Shanyue people lost many strong men because of the battle with Jiangdong.

Liu Feng gathered it down for population reasons, but he also made a bad move. He continued to draw tens of thousands of mountain men and strong men into the army.

In this way, the ratio of men and women in Shanyue people reached a very deformed situation, and the women in Shanyue had to look for Han people to marry.

Moreover, he can only be a concubine.

This policy, planned and approved by Liu Feng, is currently a slowly executor. After the next generation of Han people is born, the power will gradually appear.

And the group of tens of thousands of mountain men, 20,000 of which were handed over to Huang Zhong for training. It has been a while since it could be a battle. In addition, Zhao Yun was injured and returned to the rear to cultivate, Liu Feng also needed a member of the future to increase his power.

Huang Zhong is definitely a good candidate.

Anyway, there were tens of thousands of troops left in Jiangdong and they could not jump. It was absolutely fine to leave Huang Zhong's deputy general Zhang Gui, who led 15,000 people to continue to guard Jiujiang.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Liu Feng quickly drafted the document and ordered the guard to come in and went downstairs to Jiujiang.

The army is mobilized, the surrendered troops are digested, and then the baggage is dispatched. It will take at least one or two months. When the attack on Xiangyang, it will be spring.

War is indeed a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing.

Liu Feng stood up and walked out of the tent. Now everything has been dealt with, only Liu Bei, Guan Yu's corpse, and Zhang Fei's situation are left.

Liu Feng didn't want to lose Zhang Fei. In the past, for Zhang Fei, he even made a decision in his heart that in order to take care of Zhang Fei, even the quiet Liu Bei would do.

But unfortunately, things went against my wishes. People like Liu Bei were not quiet materials at all. They escaped faster than rabbits and almost slipped away under their noses.

In the end, he also lost his life.

Thinking of Zhang Fei, Liu Feng was in a very heavy mood. This not only killed Liu Bei, but also killed Guan Yu. Liu Feng summoned Kou Shui who had just sent Zhao Yun away and came to a tent next to him.

There are three coffins in the tent at this moment.

The coffin board was not put down, and the figure inside could be clearly seen. Liu Bei and Guan Yu had been washed, and were lying in the coffin as if they were asleep.

However, there were wounds of one big and one small on their necks, which were very ferocious. One was an arrow wound and the other was a gunshot wound. Both of these two brothers died at Zhao Yun's hands.

The other one was filled with Chen Dao, who also died in the hands of Zhao Yun.

Liu Feng stared at Liu Bei and slowly retracted his eyes. It is said that people's hatred will disappear, and he is not as simple as killing Liu Bei. Liu Chan died in front of Liu Bei.

Before his death, Liu Bei should have tasted the heart-wrenching pain.

"Call my uncle over here. I'll go to the big tent to wait." Liu Feng turned his head, said to Kou Shui, and turned back to the central army's big tent.

At this time, Liu Feng didn't want to face Zhang Fei directly. Let's talk about it after a while.

Not long after Liu Feng returned to the Central Army's tent, a loud cry sounded next to him. The crying was very shrill, accompanied by the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Liu Feng sighed, his face heavier.

This matter is really difficult to deal with. Why don’t you send him, Xiahou, Zhang Bao and others to Xiling City first and let this uncle live a peaceful life?

To Liu Feng's surprise, just as he was wasting his time on how to arrange Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei actually came to the central army's tent after crying for a while.

When he came, his face might have been a little more ferocious. The guard did not let him in, but Liu Feng personally gave him a comment to comfort him, so he let the guard put Zhang Fei in.

Liu Feng asked Zhang Fei to sit down next to him, and on the other hand, he ordered someone to bring wine, intending to make Zhang Fei live a life of drunkenness. However, Zhang Fei just didn't drink.

He just asked Liu Feng, "Please help me. Bury my eldest brother, second brother, and Chen Dao in Jiangling."

Liu Feng looked at Zhang Fei and saw that Zhang Fei's eyes were red and he was in a bad mood. But when he looked at him, he didn't feel much hatred.

This made Liu Feng feel relieved, maybe just as Zhang Fei said. He had no right to accuse anyone of the two armies of conquest, and if it weren't for Liu Feng's uncle, he would have gone there long ago. He was even less qualified to accuse Liu Feng.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Feng nodded happily and said, "Don't worry, this uncle, I will buried Liu Bei and Guan Yu with the rituals of the marquis, and Chen Dao with the etiquette of the general."

"Yeah." Zhang Fei nodded, then said: "I'm not worried about my second brother and Chen Dao. They both have their own descendants. When they are buried, they will also have descendants. But my elder brother does not. I want to ask you to send someone to send Mrs. Gan and her two nieces over."

This is a reasonable request. After Liu Bei died, he always asked his descendants to send him away. But Liu Feng frowned and said, "Forget it, my mother, I have never planned to see Liu Bei again in this life. Even if he is already dead, I will send someone to take them over for the two sisters."

A long time ago, Gan was no longer Liu Bei's wife. Now, Liu Feng would never agree to let Gan go to the funeral.

Zhang Fei's face flashed with anger at first, but looking at the resolute look on Liu Feng's face, he suddenly sighed and said, "Okay, just take your two nieces over."

Things that happened back then were really entangled. But in general, Gan was an absolute victim. There is no reason why Gan had to do something for Liu Bei after Liu Bei's death.

Zhang Fei is usually very fair.

"What about uncle? Why don't I arrange a house in Jiangling City and arrange for my aunt, Baodi and others to live with you?" Liu Feng felt a little relieved when he saw that Zhang Fei was not angry. He couldn't help but ask.

"No need, let them be with my second sister-in-law first. My second brother is dead, and I'm afraid my second sister-in-law will not be able to think about it." Zhang Fei shook his head and said.

But I'm afraid you can't think so. Liu Feng saw Zhang Fei talking very well and said with a wry smile in his heart.

In addition to being afraid that Zhang Fei would not forgive him, Liu Feng was also afraid that Zhang Fei would not be able to think about it. Liu Feng really didn't want Zhang Fei to walk that path.

"By the way, there is another thing. Can you decide whether you can give your posthumous title to your elder brother and second brother." Zhang Fei came this time and obviously thought about Liu Bei's funeral. After Liu Feng promised him to take back Liu Bei's two daughters to attend Liu Bei's funeral, he asked again.

The posthumous title is the final conclusion. There are official conclusions and private decisions among the people.

It is almost like this. However, in the Han Dynasty, if you want to officially establish a posthumous title, you must at least be a marquis.

For example, Zhuge Wuhou. In history, Zhuge Liang's posthumous title was Wu and Zhang Fei was Huan.

According to the posthumous law, it was called Wu, who defeated the disaster and chaos, and it was called Huan, who broke the land and the country. It was affirmed by Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei. Guan Yu was a little worse in this regard.

Zhuang Miao. Guan Yu was half of his merits and demerits for the entire Shu Han.

Now, Zhang Fei asked Liu Feng to give Liu Bei a posthumous title. This problem is really a headache. But at the same time, Liu Feng's heart was also moved.
