Before the outbreak of the Jiangling War, Huang Quan sent an urgent warning document to Yizhou.

Subsequently, Wuling County in Jingnan abandoned the city and left, Lingling County defended to meet the enemy, Yidu County defended and retreated to Zigui to garrison, Fu Shiren, the public security guard, surrendered Kaicheng, and a series of emergency military situations such as Mifang colluded with Sun Quan in Jiangling County and poured into Yizhou from all sides, with couriers sent by officials and many civilian couriers.

The messengers were endless, and the development of the war situation was constantly reversed, so that there were great victories in Gangneung and Maicheng.

So much so that the strategic opportunity to occupy a complete Jingzhou and Jiaozhou is on the table.

Before, he couldn't make a move, and he didn't interfere in Jiaozhou in name, but now as long as he sends a partial army to Guiyang County and defeats the Buqi Division, the brothers of the Nashi family will never continue to be loyal to Jiangdong.

After all, Jiangdong does not know how to make sea ships, and the technology of sea ships is in the hands of the Shi brothers.

But Liu Bei couldn't be happy, because Fa Zheng was sick.

In order to grasp the development of the Jingzhou incident as much as possible, Fa Zheng personally interrogated all kinds of official and unofficial messengers from Jingzhou.

This is a fortunate job, but it is also a dangerous job, which has led to the Fazheng infection.

Fa Zheng was infected with the epidemic, and Zhang Bao, who was responsible for helping Fa Zheng and Liu Bei deliver confidential documents, was also infected with the epidemic, which became more and more serious.

After receiving the mask donated by Jingzhou, Liu Bei wore a thick layer of mask to visit Fazheng.

Seeing each other through the bamboo curtain, Liu Bei grabbed Fa Zheng's thin right hand under the bamboo curtain: "How is Xiaozhi's diet recently?" ”

Fa Zheng's throat was seriously inflamed, and he couldn't speak, so he wrote on Liu Bei's palm with his index finger: Two liters of rice a day.

"Xiaozhi still needs more meals, Jingzhou is worry-free, thanks to Xiaozhi's recommendation of Tian Xiaoxian and Huang Gongheng."

Liu Bei was overwhelmed with emotion, and saw that Fa was writing four words in his palm: the duty of a human minister.

"Filial piety, now everyone is talking about sending troops to Jingzhou to destroy Jiangdong, taking all the benefits of the Yangtze River, and dividing the world with Cao Mengde."

Fa Zheng did not write this time, but used his fingers to his son Fa Miao, who stood quietly beside him with a roll of bamboo slips, only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Liu Bei took the bamboo slip from Fa Miao's hand and opened it to examine it carefully. Seeing Fa Zheng quoting a piece of Tian Xin's farewell to the ban, he agreed with Tian Xin's opinion and thought that Cao Cao was going to die of illness.

He also believes that Cao Cao's statement that he wants to move the capital is wrong, and it is a bait deliberately released by Cao Cao to facilitate Cao Pi to wantonly kill the people of the Central Plains and Hebei who have Han families.

Taking Cao Cao alive, before the Fu Han forces were not completely unified, Cao Pi wielded a big knife and slashed it with one blow.

The more ruthless the killing, the wider the scope of involvement, and the less resistance Cao Pi will face when he succeeds to the throne.

After establishing the premise that Cao Cao was about to die of illness, Fa Zheng suggested that he secretly negotiate peace with Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan pretended to make friends with Cao Pi, sent a secret letter to Zang Ba, and promised to lure Zang Ba to rise in the land of Qingxu with a rich official.

Then the two ways to attack to take the land of Guan Long, Guan Long in hand, is not afraid of Sun Quan backstabbing again.

Holding the west of the world, it can completely resist the attack of Sun Cao's coalition army.

If you have to close the fertile field, you will have the opportunity to recuperate; With the advantage of the terrain in Guanzhong, in addition to recuperating in Guanzhong, he was able to send troops to plunder Guandong and Hebei, pulling Cao Cao's hinterland into the war, making it impossible to recuperate and face the invasion of light cavalry at all times.

As long as you get Guanzhong, you can restore the territory and momentum of the Gaozu period, and you can be invincible.

"Enter Guanlong and restore the great cause of Gaozu."

Liu Bei slowly read one of the sentences and sighed lightly: "Sun Quan is cunning and insidious, and negotiating peace with him is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger." If we march into Guanlong in the coming year, Jingzhou goes north, and Sun Quan attacks again, what face will I have to see Yun Chang and Jingzhou officials? ”

"I know that filial piety is planned for the long term, but this evil breath is really hard to swallow. If it weren't for Huang Gongheng and Tian Xiaoxian fighting to the death, Sun Quan would have killed Yun Chang and cut off my arm. Thinking about it now, I still feel terrified. ”

Liu Bei lightly grasped Fa Zheng's hand with both hands, and his tone was gentle: "Sun Quan colluded with Mi Fang, Jiangling was lost, and Yun Chang had no intention of surviving." Sun Quan will bully me into being old again, greedy for the prosperity of Yizhou, and send messengers to make peace. He has all his tactics, how can I let him retreat easily? ”

Through the curtain, Fa Zheng nodded slightly, tears flowed down the wet pillow, and his fingers wrote on Liu Bei's palm: The time of hatred is short.

Liu Bei took a hand towel and gently wiped the corners of his eyes: "Don't be worried about filial piety, rest with ease." When he recovered, he and the lonely east conquered Sun Quan. ”

Fa Zheng withdrew his hand from outside the curtain, looking at the curtain in a daze, the prosperous scene of the capital seemed to appear in front of him, and his eyes were misty with tears.

Liu Bei is an orphan who lost his father at a young age, and so is Fa Zheng, who uses filial piety and first as the word, must be mainly nostalgic for his parents.

Such as Fa Zheng Xiaozhi, Chen Zhen Xiaoqi, Lu Bu Fengxian, Guo Jia Fengxiao, and Tian Xin Xiaoxian.

Liu Bei soured his nose and returned to the simple palace, the palace was not newly built, it was rebuilt from the original county guard's mansion.

Now Yizhou has the highest two ruling institutions, one is the Hanzhong royal palace of the Hanzhong Kingdom, and the other is the Han Da Sima Mansion.

The Han Dynasty Sima Mansion only has Zhuge Liang's chief regent, and this status is very transcendent, which means that Zhuge Liang is a subordinate of Liu Bei's Grand Sima Shanggong Mansion, and his affiliation is still Hanchen.

At this point, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are both Hanchen, but the division of responsibilities is different.

The other officials were under the control of the Hanzhong royal palace, belonged to the vassals of the Hanzhong Kingdom, and were loyal to the king of Hanzhong.

Liu Bei summoned Zhuge Liang, and when Zhuge Liang came, he was followed by Cao Peng Puyuan, and Zhuge Liang himself was carrying a plate full of bamboo slips.

Seeing Pu Yuan, Liu Bei asked Rongrong: "How is Fang Tianji's progress?" ”

"I was about to tell the king, according to the report of the officials of Jiangling Jin Cao, the ministers repeatedly inspected the process, and the heavenly halberds made were unusable."

Pu Yuan raised his eyebrows as he spoke, glanced at Liu Bei, and continued: "I used to use a hundred forged steel to make a square halberd, but after quenching, the material faded, and it was unusable. If you can take the blood of more than 1,000 soldiers who have surrendered to the forbidden army, the minister may be able to achieve something. ”

"Hehe, refining with blood is purely Tian Xiaoxian's joke, why don't you send capable people to Jingzhou to ask Tian Xiaoxian."

Liu Bei said and waved his hand, and Pu Yuan immediately said goodbye.

The quenching process of Tian Xindu's Fang Tian Halberd was spicy, which made Pu Yuan begin to question the quenching experience he had summarized.

Pu Yuan left with a lot of concerns, Liu Bei flipped through the list of rewards for Jingzhou soldiers drawn up by Zhuge Liang, and in line with the principle of not rushing to reward for great achievements, Guan Yu was not in this list of rewards.

Therefore, Tian Xin ranked first in Gonggong, crossed the Guanzhong Marquis, and directly asked Xu Du Tianzi to ask Tian Xin to be the Marquis of Hugu Pavilion, with 300 households in the food district, and the deputy general of the Left Army; There are 100 horses of Shu brocade and 800 horses of silk.

Hugu Pavilion, the old land of the Hu country cut down by the ancient Xia Qi, in Fufeng County, the ancestral residence of the Tianxin clan.

The second merit is Xiahou Lan, please seal the Zhonghou of Guan, eat 200 households, worship the thief general, and guard the county of Xiangyang; There are also 50 horses of Shu brocade and 500 horses of silk.

Zhao Lei, the third governor of the war merit, please seal the Zhonghou of Guan, 200 households in the food town, and worship the general of the Lou boat; Another 50 horses of Shu brocade and 500 horses of silk.

Guan Ping, the fourth Longxiang general of the war merit, please seal the Zhonghou of Guan, eat 100 households, add the rank of lieutenant, and the deputy general of the former army; Another 50 horses of Shu brocade and 300 horses of silk.

Liu Bei flipped through the directory and saw that Guan Xing's name appeared in forty-nine: Guan Xing, the fake camp governor of the assassination camp, gave two horses of Shu brocade, ten horses of silk, and twenty horses of silk and cloth.

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing: "Who is contributing to Ah Xing?" ”

"It's Tian Xiaoxian, who says that Guan Xing is serious, and he lacks the most serious people when guarding Jiangling."

Zhuge Liang smiled, Guan Xing was able to do things at a young age, indicating that there are successors.

Liu Bei lifted the pen and was about to tick off Guan Xing, but he hesitated a little and put down the pen, sighing: "How should I meet Yide?" ”

Zhang Bao was raised by him to serve as a waiter for training, and he was infected with the epidemic due to his work contact with Fazheng, and now rewarding Guan Xing will stimulate Zhang Fei a little and make Zhang Fei sad.

Zhuge Liang was silent, so he heard Liu Bei say: "Recruit the wings and return to the Cheng." ”
