Bai Feng raised his eyebrows and said,
"Governor Liu, you're wrong."
"In my opinion, that's not the case."
"Governor Liu is the governor of Guiyang, not Liu Bei's governor."
"In other words, Governor Liu is the governor of whoever is in charge of Jingzhou."
Liu Ba's expression changed when he heard that. He said in an extremely low voice,
"Grand Marshal, what do you mean by that?"
"Do you think that I, Liu Ba, am the kind of person who would betray my master so easily?"
"If that's the case, then please leave, Grand Marshal!"
With that, Liu Ba stood up and prepared to send his guest off.
Bai Feng's expression did not change at all. Instead, he smiled faintly and said,
He smiled faintly and said, "Governor Liu, you've misunderstood me."
"Why would I think that Governor Liu is such a person?"
"I'm just saying what Governor Liu thinks. In fact, Governor Liu doesn't treat Liu Bei as his master. How can you say that he betrays his master?"
"I wonder if I'm right, Governor Liu?"
As soon as Bai Feng finished speaking, Liu Ba's expression changed instantly. It was no longer anger. Now, it was shock!
He never would have thought that Bai Feng would actually see through his thoughts with a single sentence!
However, this was only the first time he met Bai Feng!
In fact, it was not difficult to guess Liu Ba's thoughts.
In history, Liu Ba himself did not approve of Liu Bei.
After that, he had no choice but to submit to Liu Bei. He really had no choice.
In history, the master that Liu Ba had always favored was Cao Cao.
Liu Ba had tried to submit to Cao Cao three times in a row, but he failed each time. Otherwise, he would never have submitted to Liu Bei.
This was also the reason why Bai Feng dared to enter the Governor's Mansion alone with Zhang Liao.
Otherwise, Bai Feng was not a fool. Why would he send his head over like this?
"Grand General, why do I not understand what you mean?"
Liu Ba narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Feng.
Bai Feng smiled and said,
"What I mean is very simple."
"Now that there are so many vassals, only the Great Wei has the strength to pacify the world."
"The Sun Quan in Jiangdong is content to stay in one corner of Jiangdong. They are unable to leave Jiangdong."
"Liu Zhang is just a profligate who is guarding the foundation that his father, Liu Yan, built for him. He won't amount to much at all."
"Hanzhong Zhang Lu is a mediocre person, not even worth mentioning."
"As for Liu Bei, other than pretending to be benevolent and righteous to gain the trust of others, he has no ability at all."
"If Governor Liu really wants to realize his ambitions, he should abandon the darkness and join the light, and follow the Wei Emperor."
After Bai Feng finished speaking, Liu Ba couldn't help but nod.
Every word Bai Feng said was deeply engraved in Liu Ba's heart.
When Cao Cao was preparing to attack Red Cliff, Liu Ba already had such thoughts.
Now, no matter which aspect it was, Cao Wei had the upper hand. Only the heroes of the world could fight against Cao Wei, not Cao Wei!
Following Cao Wei was the best course of action.
On the other hand, the other vassals were just as Bai Feng had said. All of them had ulterior motives, but none of them had the strength.
If this continued, they would be swallowed up sooner or later.
Liu Ba couldn't understand why someone as sensible as the Crouching Dragon Phoenix Younglings would choose to join Liu Bei.
Was it really for the sake of restoring the Han Dynasty?
Liu Ba didn't think so.
As for the current situation of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ba had read a lot of books and was naturally able to see it clearly.
In this situation, even if the Han Dynasty was restored, it would not be the Eastern Han!
It might even become Southern Han or Northern Han!
In short, the luck of the Han Dynasty had run out, and there was no need to protect it.
Other than gaining the title of Foolish Loyalty, what else could they gain?
Bai Feng saw that Liu Ba was moved and continued.
"I do have a question for Governor Liu."
"Governor Liu, what do you think of the current situation in Jingzhou?"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Liu Ba froze for a moment before smiling.
"Jingzhou will definitely be conquered by the Wei Emperor. It's only a matter of time. As for Liu Bei, he's relying on Liu Biao's son, Liu Qi, to win the hearts of the other governors."
"He can't even stabilize the hearts of the entire Jingzhou like Liu Biao."
"However, Liu Bei still has Liu Qi as a chess piece in his hands. Jingzhou will likely remain in his hands for the time being."
Liu Ba directly called Liu Biao, Liu Qi, and Liu Bei by their names, clearly expressing his attitude.
He approved of Bai Feng's suggestion.
Hearing this, Bai Feng laughed and shook his head.
"You're wrong."
"Governor Liu, I can make a bet with you. It won't be long before Jingzhou no longer belongs to Liu Bei."
Liu Ba stared at Bai Feng for a long time without saying anything.
Then, Liu Ba slowly opened his mouth.
"Grand Marshal, I admit that you're better at military strategy than me."
"However, I, Liu Zichu, am not someone who can't see through things."
"Now that Sun Quan has mobilized his troops, it's impossible to conquer Jingzhou in a short time."
"Marshal, even if you win every battle, this battle won't be so easy."
"Last time, the Sun Liu Army led such a mighty army but still failed to conquer Jiangdong."
Then, Liu Ba carefully observed Bai Feng.
He was certain that Bai Feng would definitely look at him in a new light if he mentioned this point.
However, Bai Feng's expression didn't change at all.
Did Bai Feng not care about Sun Quan and Liu Zichu at all?
Wasn't he being too conceited?
Bai Feng smiled.
"Governor Liu, let's do it this way."
"If I defeat the Sun Liu Army, will Governor Liu be willing to follow me?"
Liu Ba waved his hand.
"Marshal, please don't make fun of me."
"How can Jingzhou be so easy to conquer? Right now, Wei Emperor is focused on attacking Hanzhong and can't spare any time. "
"Unless you yourself …"
"Wait, you're saying that you want to defeat the Sun Liu Army yourself?!"
Liu Ba's eyes widened at this thought.
Seeing Bai Feng's noncommittal expression, Liu Ba was shocked.
He couldn't believe that Bai Feng had such confidence!
How many soldiers did the Sun Liu Army have?
There were at least a hundred thousand of them!
How many troops did Bai Feng have?
In total, there were only fifty to sixty thousand, and this included the soldiers guarding the city.
In that case, there were only thirty thousand soldiers who could fight.
Thirty thousand against more than a hundred thousand, and in the absence of reinforcements, they still wanted to drive the others away?
Although Liu Ba didn't believe it, when he saw Bai Feng's resolute expression, he understood that Bai Feng wasn't joking with him.
Thinking of this, Liu Ba immediately nodded heavily.
"Good! Then this one will believe Marshal this one time! "
"If Marshal can really defeat the Sun Liu Army with the remaining troops in your hands."
"This one will not only offer Guiyang to you, but also swear to follow you forever!"
"Furthermore, I am willing to pacify the four Jingnan Commanderies for Marshal!"
Hearing this, Bai Feng immediately smiled knowingly.
This fellow had already made his stance clear.
If Bai Feng were to pacify the four Jingnan Commanderies alone, the landowning clans wouldn't agree.
