Liu Feng did not dare to send troops without authorization, so he consulted with Meng Da:

"Uncle Guan was trapped in Maicheng, and it is unreasonable to do so if he doesn't save him?"

Meng Da said:

"Sun Quan from Jiangdong came prepared and was brave. Moreover, Jingzhou counties are all belonging to Jiangdong, and only Maicheng is a small place. I also heard that Cao Cao personally supervised hundreds of thousands of troops and stationed in Mopi: he was eyeing him and wanted to avenge Fancheng. How could he defeat the strong soldiers of Sun and Cao families? In my foolish opinion, Shangyong is the only remaining county in Jingzhou, and is also a bridgehead for sending troops to Jingzhou. It is not suitable to send troops now, causing trouble and be able to protect Shangyong County. It is a great achievement. If the lord wants to counterattack Jingzhou, he can advance from Shangyong to both land and land, and it is easy to reverse his control! If Shangyong is lost, then the lord gathers a large army and attacks Jingzhou from Xichuan, he can only send troops from Yidu. If Jiangdong is under the risk of defending the pying, the lord will not be able to advance and Jingzhou will never be able to regain it!"

Liu Feng also knew that Meng Da’s words were not false, but he also had his own difficulties. In the Han Dynasty, the unfilial people were rats crossing the street and had no future!

Although Liu Feng was Liu Bei's adopted son, he could not bear the name of "unfilial piety".

Liu Feng replied:

"I know the danger of sending troops, but my uncle and nephew are here, how can I sit back and wait and see if I save you?"

Meng Da laughed and said:

"General Liu called General Guan as his uncle, and was afraid that he might not have regarded General as his nephew. As far as I know, when the Hanzhong King first succeeded General, General Guan was displeased. After the Later Hanzhong King ascended the throne, he wanted to establish his descendants, and asked Kong Ming. Kong Ming replied: 'This is family matter, please ask Guan, two generals, Zhang.' The Hanzhong King then sent someone to Jingzhou to ask General Guan. General Guan said that the general was the son of Minglei, so he should not be exterminated. He advised the Hanzhong King to set up the general in the land of Shangyong Mountain City to prevent future troubles. Everyone knows this, but does not know the general yet? Why are you still complacent with the righteousness of uncle and nephew and want to take the risk of striking troops?"

Of course, Liu Feng was not as unbearable as Meng Da said. Guan Yu was not interested in him. He discovered that he had the first time meeting Guan Yu. He had also wondered:

"I and Guan Ping are both adopted sons of Mori, so why is there such a big gap in Guan Yu's mind?"

He often practiced martial arts with Guan Ping, and tried to find out why Guan Ping was attracted to others. He often cursed Guan Yu, but Guan Yu continued to dislike him as usual.

Although Liu Feng was a powerful general, he was not unfamiliar with human feelings. Of course, he knew that this time he was sent to guard Shangyong was related to his younger brother Liu Chan's name as the crown prince.

But he had no inappropriate thoughts and did not care too much. He would never do it to save Guan Yu and lose his life!

He wanted Meng Da to make an idea, that would mean that the two of them were tied up together, and he was not afraid of revealing that he would not save him when he saw death.

So, Liu Feng bowed his hand and humbly asked for advice:

"The prefect Meng said very well, but what words should I say to you?"

Meng Da knew Liu Feng’s thoughts, and he didn’t think that Guan Yu could escape from the heavens. He had offended him. It was nothing if he offended him a little more ruthlessly, so he sincerely offered his advice:

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved by both loyalty and filial piety. The general is the lord and polite son, who is loyal to his duties and strive to ensure that Shangyong is not lost. Therefore, he cannot send troops to rescue Guan Yu. As for how to reply to Liao Hua, it is said that Shangyong was decided at the beginning, and many remote counties were not under control, and the people in the territory were not determined, but he was afraid that Cao's army would suddenly attack and dare not launch a rebellion, and he might lose his guard."

Liu Feng also had a lot of conspiracy with this idea in his mind, and Meng Da did not exaggerate it.

They entered Shangyong for only half a year, and many county magistrates had not yet taken office, and Liu Feng followed his words.

Early the next morning, Liu Feng and Meng Da sat down at the prefect's office together and sent someone to invite Liao Hua to come. Liu Feng first said that this was the first place attached to Shangyong County, but he could not divide his troops to rescue him.

Liao Hua was shocked when he heard this. He also had a lot of dates with Liu Feng in Jingzhou. Knowing that he was strong and a character who was weak but not hard, he immediately bowed to the ground, knocked his head on the ground, and asked:

"General Liu, if you don't send troops to respond, General Guan will definitely not be able to escape from the siege of Jiangdong Army, and will be harmed by Sun Quan!"

Liu Feng and Guan Ping were similar in age. They had been together for a long time. Seeing Liao Hua pleading hard, they felt soft and almost agreed to send troops.

Meng Da saw that Liu Feng was unbearable and was afraid that Liu Feng would change his mind, so he snatched the conversation and said:

"In time, we will all start Shangyong's army, which is a cup of water. How can we save a truck of fire? General Liao invites you back and wait for the lord to rescue the soldiers. I guess what if Sun Quan dares not check on General!"

Liao Hua felt sad and cried again. Meng Da pulled Liu Feng up and all walked into the inner hall.

Liao Hua was not allowed to do anything, and thought that he had to report to the King of Hanzhong for help, so he got on his horse and left. After leaving the city, he scolded Liu Feng and Mengda for not saving his life and left Chengdu.

...

...

Ma Liang asked Uncle Ma to often take people to escort his wife and children to Chengdu. His son Ma Bing, who is just six years old, is smart and has a fatherly style.

Ma Liang and his family were about to part, and they were quite reluctant to leave. They personally took Ma Su and sent them to Jiangling City together.

Jiangling was where Ma Liang worked for several years. He and Ma Su went out for a walk, walked around and soon walked to the front of Guan Mansion.

Because he often went to Guan Yu's home to discuss major events, Guan Mansion was a place where Ma Liang often visited and left, so he couldn't help but slow down.

When he saw Ma Liang coming to the door, the concierge who was very familiar with Ma Liang stood up and came out to greet him very politely.

Ma Liang waved his hand and signaled that he was just passing by.

After walking dozens of steps forward, Ma Liang remembered the days when he had worked happily with Guan Yu in Jiangling City, and couldn't help but worry about Guan Yu's family.

Especially the lively and cute Guan Feng, who has been a beauty since childhood, once he becomes a prisoner, he will become a slave to Jiangdong's meritorious soldiers, and he feels quite unbearable.

Although Ma Liang could not control Guan Yu's military deployment, he was still able to help Guan Yu's family. Now he had to watch the scene coldly, and he felt sorry for him.

But Ma Liang wanted to rescue Guan Yu's family, provided that Guan Yu would definitely be defeated and Jiangling would also be captured by the enemy, otherwise, he would be causing trouble.

If Guan Yu was only a small defeat and could lead the army back to Jiangling smoothly, then Ma Liang would send Guan Yu's family to Chengdu, which would have become a bad intention and disrupted the morale of the army.

With Guan Yu's temper, he would not be willing to settle down with Ma Liang. Apart from joining Sun Quan or Cao Cao and the Ma brothers, he would have no place to gain a foothold in the Liubei group.

Ma Liang was willing to help Guan Yu, but he didn't dare to act rashly, so he asked Ma Su quietly:

"Youchang, do you think Guan Yu's failure this time can protect Jiangling?"

Ma Su didn't know what Ma Liang intended, and he asked back:

"Is there any difference between being able to protect Jiangling City?"

Ma Liang replied:

"Of course there is a difference. If Guan Yu was only defeated by Cao Cao in Fancheng and Jiangling could be saved, I would not need to do anything else and quietly take action to protect Guan Yu's family."

Ma Su thought about it and did not dare to take over the big picture. He was not sure whether the trajectory of history would change quietly and when it would change, so he could only say:

"The situation in Jingzhou is quite strange now. General Guan Yu is too strong, and the fierce achievements of the Shuidu Seven Army make both Sun Quan and Cao Cao very afraid. They are reluctant to die early. Therefore, if he is undefeated, he will be out of control. Although you are willing to help Guan Yu, because you have a deep conflict between you, it is not advisable. Once Guan Yu wins, it will be unbeatable."

Ma Liang thought it was true. Guan Yu had a very strong martial arts skills and had a hundred thousand troops under his command. He was not defeated, and he really didn't have to do anything to himself. He sighed:

"I worked with Guan Yu and got along well. This time, we had different opinions on the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and it was also a matter of official business. We had no personal grudges. I just don't want his family to have something to do, so I can relieve his worries."

Ma Su thought for a while and said:

"The chances of Guan Yu being defeated are too high. If you really want to help him protect his family, it will be more inconvenient for you to come forward. It would be better for me to borrow General Zhang Fei's name to bring him Guan Yu's whole family to Chengdu for a reunion."

So Ma Su asked Xing Daorong to arrange personnel and escort Guan Yu's family to Chengdu in the name of Zhang Fei, and sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Fei, asking him to act according to his plan.
