Dinner.

Guan Ping held the wine bottle, greeted Li Yan, and said with a smile: "General Li, the junior Guan Ping will first salute you, in order to celebrate the general's departure from the town and protect the territory and the people." ”

Although he was already a man of great achievements at this time, his etiquette in the face of Li Yanshi was also extremely decent, and he did not have the slightest arrogance.

This is not that Guan Ping is jealous that Li Yan is an important minister in the court.

The main thing is that he doesn't want to make a fuss!

After all, Guan Yu is already a high-ranking and powerful commander of Jingzhou, the commander of Jingzhou, if he still has no one in his eyes and is full of arrogance, it is inevitable that the ministers of the court and the central government will chew their tongues behind their backs and shout blindly.

Secondly, Guan Ping also knows very well in his heart that both Liu Bei and Guan Zhang are already dying old and heroes in their twilight years, and they will almost completely fade out of the political arena in a few years.

And in the future, the world of Shu and Han will inevitably be young.

What is the most important thing for Shu Han to succeed in the Northern Expedition?

It's the human heart!

It is the unity of the inside.

The so-called "people's hearts are moving together!" ”

Shu Han's heritage is already weaker than Cao Wei, even if it occupies a strong military position for a while, it is always insufficient to compete!

At this time, if the internal people can't twist the hearts of the people together and work together to unify the Northern Expedition, it will inevitably be reduced to a plate of scattered sand.

With such strength, how can we talk about the success of the Northern Expedition?

Li Yan, this person is a proud person, Guan Ping knows that if he compares with him, it will undoubtedly anger his inner unwillingness and cause conflicts between the two sides, which is not beautiful.

Therefore, he thought of surrendering his identity and talked humbly.

"Hahaha!"

After hearing this, Li Yan laughed a few times, and then also held the wine bottle and said: "General Guan, it has only been half a year since the Jingzhou Guard Battle last year. ”

"You will go to Shuzhong, but what is important in Jingxiang, you need to enter Shu immediately to make a decision?"

The voice settled.

Li Yan couldn't help but look serious, and asked slowly.

"General Li, Jingxiang has his father in charge, everything is fine, and there is no major problem!"

After hearing this, he couldn't help but look puzzled, and held up the wine bottle and asked, "That'...... This? ”

Hearing this, Guan Ping's heart was like a mirror, and he didn't know what he was suspicious of, so he couldn't help but drink the wine in the wine bottle before saying: "General Li, in fact, there is indeed an important matter for the juniors to enter Shu this time. ”

"It's just that the time is limited, and I didn't have time to report to the king of Han first, so I went west first."

After that, he paused again before he said softly: "Oh, by the way, General Li, you have only been in the White Emperor City for nearly a month, and the junior still wants to consult with you, how is the health of the Fa Shangshu in recent days, and can you still be healthy?" ”

"Fa Xiaozhi?"

For a while, Li Yan couldn't help but listen to these words, and muttered in a low voice for a moment, and then his face couldn't help but show a trace of worry, and said leisurely: "I'm afraid his body is not allowed to be objective!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

As soon as the words fell, Guan Ping's complexion on the side suddenly became anxious, and he hurriedly asked.

Li Yan just said that Fazheng's body is not optimistic!

And he looked extremely worried, which was not good.

Obviously, there is indeed something wrong with Fazheng's body.

At this moment, Guan Ping couldn't help but think of the original history of Fa Zheng, who died young in 220 AD.

At this moment, how could he continue to hold his mind?

It must be known that his main goal of entering Shu this time is to bring the divine doctor Wu Pu into Shu, diagnose the disease pulse for Fazheng, and renew his life!

Therefore, after he heard the sudden news, he couldn't help but panic for a while, and he was always restless.

If this is missed, Guan Ping will definitely regret his death.

Since the month of Fa Zheng's death is not clearly recorded in the history books, it is also based on this, although Li Yan did not clearly point out that Fa Zheng's life must be in danger.

But Guan Ping is now anxious, like an ant on a hot pot!

Thinking of this, how could he still have the heart to continue to stay here, and hurriedly put down the wine bottle and apologized: "General Li, this time it is a rude mistake by the juniors." ”

"Ping can't continue to drink with you, I have to leave quickly, and I will rush to Chengdu as soon as possible."

After saying that, Guan Ping bowed and thought he was apologetic, so he suddenly stood up, turned around and prepared to stride out of the house!

Seeing this scene, Li Yan's face couldn't help but change wildly, and he quickly got up and shouted to stop him, and said loudly: "Young General Guan, why are you doing this?" ”

"This place is far away from Chengdu."

"You yourself came from Jiangling, thousands of miles away, day and night, and now you finally arrived here, why did you rush to Chengdu in a hurry?"

At this time, Li Yan couldn't sit still for a while!

His original plan was to befriend Guan Ping.

But now that he was about to leave in such a hurry for some reason, how could Li Yan not be in a hurry?

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately got up and strode to Guan Ping's side, stretched out his hand to stop and admonish.

Seeing this, Guan Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then showed a solemn look on his face, and said loudly: "General Li, juniors, thank you for your hospitality!" ”

"But now Ping really has urgent matters to rush to Chengdu to deal with, I'm afraid this banquet will not be able to continue to participate in the end, if there is still a chance, when the juniors return, I will come to talk to the general."

Speaking of this, Guan Pingsui also apologized, and bowed slightly: "I hope the general doesn't take it to heart." ”

When the words fell, Li Yan observed his words, and saw that Guan Ping's intention to go had been decided, and his heart was already full of determination, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, so he said helplessly: "Alas, since that's the case, then Major General Guan will go!" ”

"You and I will meet later."

"General Li, don't pass."

The two bowed their hands to each other again, and Guan Ping turned around and strode away from the mansion gate, leading the straight, iron-clad Pang De who was standing at the gate of the mansion to leave gradually away.

On the way, Pang De couldn't help but show doubts, couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, and said, "Young General, aren't you going to the banquet?" ”

"I didn't get in for a while, and I left urgently."

"General Ling Ming, time is pressing, don't talk long, something big has happened in Chengdu, I must hurry up, otherwise our army will definitely lose a pillar!"

The voice settled.

At this moment, Guan Ping also has a very high evaluation of Fazheng, calling it "the pillar of the country." ”

After all, Fa Zhengyuan was originally a person from Guanzhong, but later because Li Guo ravaged the land of Guanzhong, the rich Jingzhao County suffered from war, the means of production and laborers were greatly destroyed, and the livelihood of the people became the most basic difficulty.

Under such circumstances, Fa Zheng also fled into the land of Bashu with a large number of people who fled to Hanchuan and Shuzhong.

Later, due to the weak personality of Liu Zhang, the official of the Fazheng Shangguan, he had to rely on the local local clans, which led to lax local law and discipline and nepotism.

It is precisely because of this that a large number of talents with real talents in Yizhou cannot be appointed.

Since Liu Bei unified Bashu and Fa Zheng took refuge, in the foreign war, the first battle helped Liu Bei win the battle of Hanzhong, beheaded Xiahou Yuan, and broke Cao Cao.

At this time, Guan Ping hurriedly left, and continued to lead the group to quickly embark on the journey to continue westward, and on the way, he couldn't help but think of the importance of Fazheng to Shu Han.

In Guan Ping's heart, Fa Zheng is like Xun Yu and Guo Jia under Cao Cao's account, and he is also Liu Bei's confidant or mastermind.

Fa Zheng is indeed very good at military strategy!

In the original history, if he did not die early, the possibility of Liu Beidong's expropriation of Jingzhou would also be greatly increased.

Similarly, if Fa Zheng did not die early, Zhuge Liang would not have done it himself, taking care of both state affairs and military affairs.

"I hope I'll be in time!"

On the one hand, he was silently muttering in his heart, and on the other hand, Guan Ping also urged everyone to hurry up, almost ignoring the rugged and bumpy mountain roads.

It's rushing like a day.

After three days of eating and sleeping, galloping day and night, Guan Ping and his entourage finally passed through Jiangzhou, an important town in Ba County.

Originally, Guan Ping's plan was to make a detour along Jiangyang and Qianwei all the way to observe the local customs and slowly arrive in Chengdu, but after learning the news that Fa Zheng was critically ill, he was already anxious!

Now Guan Ping, eager to give birth to two wings, will bring him into Chengdu in an instant, how can he continue to make the same detour in the direction of Jiangyang?

In this regard, Guan Ping did not hesitate to lead the crowd to the north quickly, passing straight through the southwest of Brazil and heading straight to Chengdu City.

Due to the urgency of the matter, he did not inform Zhang Fei, the Brazilian guard, when he entered Brazil County.

………

Chengdu.

Shangshu Mansion.

This house is also an ordinary small courtyard like that, about half an acre of land area, in front of the door of the house engraved with the dragon flying color dance of the two words "law".

However, the two characters are also carved in an extremely ordinary and concise manner, and the colors are not as luxurious and brilliant as those of other dignitaries.

From this point of view, Fa Zheng on weekdays is also a person who advocates frugality!

As for the Dharma House at this time, the bedroom.

At this moment, Fa Zhengzheng closed his eyes tightly, reclining on the bed and falling asleep, and had been waking up in a coma intermittently for several days, repeating back and forth!

At the side of the bed, in addition to the woman who was over forty years old, there was also a young man who was just over twenty years old, with beautiful sideburns, a long body, and an extremely delicate appearance, who had been standing in front of the couch and never left or right.

This is Fa Miao, the son of Fa Zheng, and his wife Liu.

Since Fa Zheng suddenly fell ill a month ago, in the past few days, his son Fa Miao has been standing on his side all day long, almost not leaving him, guarding him.

Due to the care of him day and night, he inevitably had a lack of sleep, which also led to the fact that since January, Fa Miao's face has become thinner and thinner, and his mental state is not particularly good.

"Ahem!"

After a half-ring, suddenly another cough sounded one after another.

After hearing this, Fa Miao immediately raised his head and cried with joy: "Father, father, you have finally woken up!" ”

Seeing that Fa Zheng was waking up slowly, and his face was also haggard due to being seriously ill, Fa Miao couldn't help but show a few lines of tears on his face at this time, and said, "Father, you must not have anything to do!" ”

"Don't abandon your child and your mother!"

This sentence has just fallen.

Liu, who was on the side, couldn't help but suddenly knelt down in front of the couch, holding Fazheng's palms tightly with both hands, and sobbed: "Husband, you must be safe, don't leave your concubine and live alone." ”

At this time, Fa Zheng listened to them in his heart, but he could only stare at them with wide eyes, tears in his eyes, and he couldn't speak!

Just when the three of them were crying together, the servant who had been guarding outside the bedroom immediately broke into the door and hurriedly said, "Young Master Qiqi, King Han has already driven here!" ”

"Now we have reached the gate of the house."
