Liu Feng was in a trance, he didn't know what he would do in the future if he lost his reputation.

From all the princes or scholars today, a good reputation has a very big effect. Liu Yu is trying his best to create his image of a benevolent king, so that his power is constantly consolidated, and the people are all in their hearts. Even if Liu Yu did something wrong, the people would not blame Liu Yu, and they would think of traitors in the court.

Liu Bei also knows the role of fame, and compared to Liu Yu's subtlety, Liu Bei's method of keeping his reputation is a bit shameless. It's a pity that in Jingzhou, Liu Bei's reputation was ruined, causing the people and families in Jingzhou to grit their teeth when they mentioned Liu Bei. Especially the people who were relocated to Jiangxia by Liu Bei at the beginning, and now they have become the backbone of Jingzhou's resistance to Liu Bei. This is also Liu Bei's own sin.

If Liu Feng's reputation is gone, what is there to talk about inheriting Liu Bei's status, what to talk about future glory and wealth, and it would be very good to be able to keep a life in the hands of Liu Bei's biological son.

"Is the eldest prince very unwilling?" Fa Zheng decided to find out Liu Feng's dissatisfaction with Liu Bei at once.

Liu Feng smiled bitterly: "What if you are unwilling? ”

"Since the eldest prince has chosen to accept his fate, there is no need to say more. The eldest prince can go back and have a good rest. All the things that I said to the eldest prince before I went down should have not been said at all. Fa Zheng made it clear that he didn't want to waste too much time with Liu Feng, so he abdicated to force Liu Feng to make a statement.

"What do you mean, sir?" Liu Feng was really a little panicked this time.

So far, Fa Zheng was the first strategist to show concern for Liu Feng, and pointed out a clear path for him. But now if Fa Zheng ignores Liu Feng, Liu Feng will have no way to live at all.

"I've always admired people who don't admit defeat. Originally, I thought that the eldest prince would be a person who did not accept his fate, and he deserved to be helped, but unfortunately today I know that the eldest prince is a courageless person. I can't say much about it, please come back! Fa Zheng said very firmly.

Liu Feng remembered that Fa Zheng was a person who never admitted defeat, and he received a big blow in Yizhou, but Fa Zheng never succumbed, nor did he have a feeling of resignation like Liu Feng. Even so, Fa Zheng had no intention of giving in to his fate, and maintained his own style and pride. Such a person will certainly look down on those who are weak-minded. Liu Feng knew that he had been disgusted by Fa Zheng.

"Mr. Fa, I am young and have just experienced a major event, so I can't make a decision for a while. Please also give me more time. Let me think about it a little more. "Liu Feng is quite smart, and he knows that he can't completely break off the relationship with Fazheng for the time being. Even if Fa Zheng is resolute, Liu Feng still tries to leave a trace of a way back, and he can use this to maintain his relationship with Fa Zheng in the future.

"This kid is still smart, and he can barely save it. Forget it, it will take time here anyway, so let this kid go back and see Liu Bei's ruthlessness. Fa Zheng said secretly in his heart.

But Fa Zheng's face remained resolute, and he said coldly: "Send off!" ”

Liu Feng didn't care about Fazheng's attitude, and said respectfully: "I'm leaving." ”

Fa Zheng watched Liu Feng leave, and to Liu Feng, to be honest, Fa Zheng felt that Liu Feng was a good young man, and he was definitely a good seedling who would soar in the future. If it was in the past, Fa Zheng would have taught Liu Feng well, but unfortunately now Liu Feng is a person who is being used. If there is no value, Liu Feng will be abandoned by Liu Bei, Fa Zheng and others.

"It's a pity that a good seedling. I hope you can know your identity and role, otherwise, no one will be able to save you at that time! Fa Zheng silently said a word to Liu Feng, hoping that Liu Feng could correct his mentality.

Fa Zheng dressed up in disguise and secretly came to Zhang Song's mansion.

Zhang Song has always maintained the habit of going to bed late, and he is reading at the moment, and he will not rest until the third watch. In Yizhou, Zhang Song was able to stand out by relying on his diligent and studious habits.

As soon as he heard that Fa Zheng was coming, Zhang Song immediately became nervous. Fa Zheng rarely takes the initiative to find himself, in addition to maintaining a secret connection between the two, that is, to avoid being discovered about the conspiracy between them, especially Liu Bei, a person with a strong sense of city and vision. This time Fa Zheng took the initiative to come over, so it means that there must be some accident on Liu Bei's side.

Zhang Song didn't even arrange a cup of tea for Fa Zheng, so he asked nervously: "Xiaozhi, did you come here tonight, is there anything sudden?" ”

Fa Zheng said angrily: "Why don't you give me a cup of tea." ”

Zhang Song directly handed Fa Zheng a glass of water, Fa Zheng glanced at Zhang Song, and he didn't know if Zhang Song had drunk it. Even if Fa Zheng had such thoughts in his heart, he couldn't say it explicitly, and quietly put aside the water handed over by Zhang Song.

Fa Zheng's face was a little serious, and he said, "Ziqiao, Liu Feng came to me tonight and said something very important to Zaixia. ”

"What's the matter? Makes you so serious! Zhang Song sat up.

"A few days ago, I deliberately got acquainted with Liu Feng and won Liu Feng's trust. And yesterday, I deliberately went to Xu Shu and secretly signaled, so that Xu Shu could separate Liu Bei and Liu Feng. But today Liu Feng said that Liu Bei and Xu Shu asked Liu Feng to make something happen in Chengdu, but the bigger the better. I feel that this is not good, so I have come to discuss with Ziqiao how to do it. Fa Zheng told his situation and did not hide it at all.

Zhang Song was shocked, this Liu Bei and Xu Shu were about to make a move, no wonder Fa Zheng would come late at night.

"Xiaozhi, how do you let Liu Feng deal with it?" Zhang Song wanted to know about Fazheng's arrangement.

Fa Zheng said directly: "Such a big thing, how can I casually signal Liu Feng to do anything." I casually found a reason and asked Liu Feng to go back and think about it. It is estimated that Liu Feng did not come back to his senses for a day or two. ”

In this way, Zhang Song was relieved, as long as Liu Feng did not move, then they still had time to deal with it. The current Shenwu Imperial Court is all on Cao Cao's side, and its attention to Yizhou is the lowest. Liu Bei and Xu Shu must know this, so they will think about making a move on Yizhou, and this is the best time.

Zhang Song said in a deep voice: "This time it's really a bit serious. We need to plan a bit. ”

Fa Zheng pondered for a while, and then said, "Ziqiao, do you think Yizhou is easy to be taken down by the imperial court in Liu Zhang's hands, or is it easy to take down in Liu Bei's hands?" ”

"This doesn't need to be asked, Liu Zhang is cowardly, as soon as His Majesty's army arrives, it will definitely be overwhelming." Zhang Song wondered why Fa Zheng would ask this.

Fa Zheng asked rhetorically: "Then Liu Zhang has been in Yizhou for so long, why did His Majesty delay in using troops in Yizhou except for only capturing Hanzhong County." You must know that for such a long time, His Majesty has many opportunities to take Yizhou. But His Majesty just didn't do it, did His Majesty have any scruples? Or does Your Majesty have other plans? ”

"Xiaozhi, if you have something to say, let's say it directly, I'm confused by you." Zhang Song had some ideas, but he didn't understand it all at once.

"Liu Zhang's position was passed on to Liu Yan. Among the Han clan relatives, Liu Yan has a good reputation. It can even be said that Liu Yan's reputation is the best among the Han clansmen. Otherwise, how could the rich Yizhou end up in Liu Yan's hands. At the same time, Liu Zhang is a little cowardly, but he can behave in the world, and he can govern Yizhou effectively. Relying on this alone, Your Majesty will not do anything to Your Majesty. And Liu Bei's words, His Majesty will not be soft. Moreover, if His Majesty's army comes, Liu Zhang will resist for a while under pressure. In the end, there is a good chance that the city will be surrendered. Yizhou can be preserved. Your Majesty can get a relatively complete Yizhou. But the power of the family in Yizhou is not the same, but it is still preserved. Do you think His Majesty's attitude towards the family will tolerate this? It is estimated that in this case, His Majesty will have to spend time looking for an opportunity to deal with the Yizhou family. I don't know how much time and effort it takes. If Liu Bei got Yizhou, it would be different. With Liu Bei's temperament, he didn't integrate all the families in Yizhou. Your Majesty may be tricky at first. When His Majesty devoted all his energy to dealing with Yizhou, where could little Liu Bei resist? And at that time, His Majesty will make a big deal and justifiably do it to the Yizhou family. Fa Zheng is expressing his analysis.

"Filial piety, this is the end of the word!" Zhang Song was frightened to death by Fa Zheng's thoughts, and he could hear that Fa Zheng wanted Liu Bei to get Yizhou.

Rao is Zhang Song is quick-witted, and he didn't expect Fa Zheng to have such an idea. Although Fa Zheng didn't say that he had to sit and watch Liu Bei get Yizhou, he used Liu Yu as a reason inside and outside the words, isn't this clear. Zhang Song is also a representative of the family, and he knows very well what will happen after Yizhou is obtained by Liu Bei. Liu Bei will definitely tap all the potential of the entire Yizhou, and then start his grand hegemony. Regardless of the final victory or defeat, it is the Yizhou family and the people of Yizhou who suffer in the end.

Zhang Song didn't care about the people in Yizhou, it was just that they were constantly squeezed by Liu Bei. was squeezed by the family, squeezed by the imperial court, and squeezed by Liu Bei, all of them are all squeezed, but the object and intensity of the squeeze are different.

In Zhang Song's heart, the people are grass people, and the grass people will grow out even if they are cut.

Fazheng's idea is terrifying, with too much uncertainty and unknown, which is not something that Zhang Song can agree with.

"What? Ziqiao disagrees with this? Fa Zheng said.

"It's not a difference between agreeing and not agreeing. It's an adventure. Zhang Song said.

Fa Zheng said suggestively: "Ziqiao, if you don't try, how will you know that it won't work?" ”

"Xiaozhi, I know that the Yizhou family has offended you too deeply. You also want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. But you have to take into account that if the strategy fails, you and I will be sinners of the court through the ages. Zhang Song had already guessed Fa Zheng's thoughts, and Fa Zheng just wanted to take revenge on the family in Yizhou.

was said to be in the heart, Fa Zheng was not surprised at all. The families in Yizhou, whether they are native or those who migrated in later, have not rectified Fazheng to death. Why can others rub on the ground when Fazheng is humble, and when Fazheng has the ability to repay these people, they should ask Fazheng to repay grievances with virtue? Fa Zheng asked himself that he couldn't do it.

And in the current situation, Liu Yu will not be able to withdraw from Yizhou for a while, giving Liu Bei a great opportunity, and Fa Zheng's plan to borrow Liu Yu to retaliate against Yizhou has been delayed a lot. Fa Zheng is anxious in his heart, the enemy is now living every day with delicacies from the mountains and seas, silk and satin, and beautiful wives and concubines, every time he sees these people living happily, Fa Zheng's resentment is a little more. When Liu Yu and Cao Cao decide the winner, isn't there still a Sun Ce? How long will this be? Fa Zheng decided that he couldn't wait any longer, and he wanted to take the initiative. Pretending to join Liu Bei's camp is the first step for Fa Zheng to unfold his plan, which is also another option for Fa Zheng to retaliate. The imperial court is helpless against Yizhou now, but Liu Bei, a careerist, is thinking about how to take Yizhou all the time. Since this is the case, then help Liu Bei get Yizhou, and then hang Liu Bei's name, get rid of the family that Yizhou has offended him, and get rid of the resentment in his heart.

From this, we can see how small the amount of Fa Zheng is.

And this point, Zhang Song never expected, he still thinks that Fa is implementing a very risky plan for Liu Yu.

"Ziqiao, if Liu Bei wants to take Yizhou, he definitely needs to recruit you. You and I are both inside Liu Bei. Coupled with the people on Lord Li's side, can Liu Bei still be able to make any waves? You see, if our own people are planted at the key points of Bazhou County and Hanzhong County, as soon as the army of the imperial court arrives, it will be like a bamboo? Fa Zheng was very good at inducing, but he was well prepared, and took out a book with various arrangements.

Zhang Song took it, and after reading it, the whole person opened his mouth wide. Fa Zheng's plan is full of responses to the changes in Yizhou, and even how to bring Liu Bei into the pit has been planned. As Fa Zheng said, the checkpoints between Bazhou and Hanzhong County are now people that Liu Zhang trusts very much, and no one else can intervene at all. Otherwise, Zhang Song wouldn't have to be so troublesome. If there is a change of people, with such a few people in Liu Bei's hands, it will not be enough at all. If Zhang Song pretended to join Liu Bei's command, if he got Liu Bei's trust, wouldn't it be possible to arrange it more freely? Wouldn't it be smoother to implement the plan?

Thinking of this, Zhang Song couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
