100,000 people walked and walked, such as a month later, finally out of the vast Shu Road connected by the ladder stone stack, and then stepped into the Tianfu Plain.

From then on, the road will become smooth, and there are only hundreds of miles left from Shu County, and with more effort, it can be reached within ten days.

It was nearly March, the weather was getting warmer, and even the mood of the people was full of enthusiasm.

The only fly in the ointment was that on the day he arrived in Jiangzhou County, Fa Zheng finally fell ill with a high fever.

Jiang Wei saw when he was resting, he could barely breathe lying down, he could only rest on his side, sweating all over his body, and he could hear his throat wheezing several times.

There is a saying that illness comes like a mountain.

Jiang Wei probably also knew that the Fa Zheng in history died at about this time.

Since he came to Shuzhong, Fa Zheng has always been kind to him, and he usually has a lot of guidance, which can be described as a mentor and a friend.

But when it came to the end, he could only watch Fa Zheng gradually weaken, except for reminding him to eat and dress him and rest early, it seemed that he couldn't help any more, and his mood couldn't help but be a little depressed.

Fa Zheng was unwilling to interrupt the migration of the people, and endured the pain until he set up camp, so he summoned Ma Liang to him and instructed:

"The rest of my body is infected with scabies, and I need to stay here for a few days, and I can't walk with you again. It's just that these tens of thousands of people are related to the vitality of the Han Dynasty, and they must not be missed. ”

As he spoke, he took out a square seal from the side of the couch with great difficulty and solemnly handed it to Ma Liang.

"Ji Changzhi's talent, Yu Ben has heard of it, and he can see it these days, and he is really honest and diligent, and he has always had a plan. This Shangshu Lingyin will be handed over to Ji Chang today. For the rest of the trip, you will have to take care of it. ”

Ma Liangqing knew the situation of Fazheng, and knew that he could no longer work hard and work, and he must live and recuperate. He is not a hypocrite, he took it with both hands at the moment, and said respectfully:

"Please also ask Shang Shuling to recuperate. Liang will do his best to escort the people to Shu County safely. ”

Fa corrected a matter of thought, bowed slightly, and showed a tired look on his face.

Ma Liang was about to say goodbye, but Fa Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Please call Boyo here." ”

When Jiang Wei, who was patrolling the camp, received the news and arrived, Fa Zheng was already flushed and coughing wildly.

He hurriedly stepped forward and stroked his back, and it took a long time for Fa Zheng to recover slightly.

"Byo, you're here."

"Shang Shuling's body is very important, you must take care!"

Fa Zheng shook his head and said, "My own body, I know best." Needless to say. ”

He pointed to Xiao Zha in front of the couch, motioned for Jiang Wei to take a seat, and said:

"I called you here because I have something to say to you."

Jiang Wei hugged his fists and said: "The last general will listen to you." ”

Fa Zheng half-leaned on the couch and asked slowly:

"For more than a few days, I have been reviewing your behavior after entering Shu...... You don't fight for merit, you don't love to offend others, and sometimes you give birth to a woman's kindness......"

When Jiang Wei heard this, he said in his heart, isn't Shang Shu Ling Mo upset because I stopped Zhou Cang from harming Lu Xun?

Just as he was about to defend himself, Fa Zheng waved his hand and continued:

"At the same time, you're brilliant and amazing. You knew that Dongwu would definitely betray the alliance, so you would try every means to find an errand to comfort Jingzhou; You also knew that the three counties of Shangyong would definitely not be protected, so you dared to seize Liu Feng's military power to relieve the siege of Maicheng. These are your eyes and talents for judging the situation and the enemy's situation, which are really beyond the reach of others, even if you have to bow down. ”

When Fa Zheng said this, he paused, and his words changed abruptly:

"You have such a talent, but Yu vaguely feels that you always have a detached attitude of staying out of things, are you afraid of something?"

Jiang Wei was taken aback when he heard this.

He was a man in two lives and knew where history would eventually go; For him, this was both a natural talent and a burden that could easily be seen as a heretic.

In order to cover up this relationship, he has been trying to pretend to fit the appearance of a twenty-year-old boy in the eyes of others, sometimes he is indeed deliberately clumsy, and usually he is even more low-key, unwilling to show his talent too much.

Unexpectedly, Fa Zheng's eyes were as bright as a torch, and he actually saw the clues.

At this time, his mind was spinning a thousand times, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent.

Fa Zheng laughed, as if he had expected his reaction.

Suddenly, he coughed sharply for a while, and when he finally stopped, Fa Zheng's eyes had begun to gradually blur.

He held back his breath and didn't want to swallow it, so he only stared at the silent young man in front of him, and said slowly:

"In this world, it is very difficult for some people to ...... just to survive"

"If you still want to achieve your ambition and revenge, how can you not do your best?"

"Isn't that too much to underestimate the world... Are you a hero in the world......"

The strength of the Fa Zheng dissipated, and these words were intermittent; But to Jiang Wei's ears, these words were like a morning bell and a dusk drum, and he was so shocked that he felt empowered.

Jiang Wei remembered that he also advised Ma Jun that day, "Only the world is sincere, in order to be able to do its best; If you can do the best of your hostage, you can do the nature of things", how can it be your turn to face your own natural talents, but instead become submissive, suffering from gains and losses?

Jiang Wei suddenly realized that if he took the initiative more, he could have done better......

Being a human being in two lives should not be a burden at all, this kind of trouble, really mediocre people disturb their ears!

Just like the Buddha of the later generations: there is nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust!

Thinking of this, he was sweating profusely; After exhaling a long breath, I only felt that my whole body was transparent and inexplicable.

looked sideways at Fa Zheng, but saw Fa Zheng lying quietly on the collapse, his eyes closed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Jiang Wei suddenly understood that this was exactly what Fa Zheng enlightened him before he died.

As the saying goes, people are about to die, and their words are also good.

On March 12, the twenty-fifth year of Han Jian'an (220 AD), he judged the situation and assisted Liu Bei to conquer Hanzhong in one fell swoop, and was praised by Zhuge Liang as "the auxiliary wing of the Han Dynasty".

At that time, it was only a few hundred miles away from Jinguan City, and it could be reached in three days.

******

Jiang Wei slowly walked out of the tent, his face was sad or joyless, and his heart was as calm as water.

The people outside the tent have long been resting, and the inside and outside of the tent are silent; There is only one bright moon left in the sky, which remains unchanged for eternity, and it will be reincarnated for eternity.

He looked up at the moonlit night with his hands in his hands, and his thoughts were flying.

From July of the 24th year of Jian'an to February of the 25th year of Jian'an, the vigorous and long-lasting Xiangfan war finally came to an end.

In this battle, the beginning of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition can be described as impressive, after flooding the Seventh Army and shocking China, Shu Han's momentum reached its peak; But this time, the Northern Expedition, which was very close to Cao Wei's lifeline, finally failed because of Sun Quan's betrayal of the alliance.

followed by Liu Bei coming to the east and Sun Liu fighting a decisive battle; Cao Cao watched the fire from the other side and made a big profit.

In this battle, the biggest winner on the surface was the Wei State.

Cao Cao's soldiers reoccupied the three counties of Shangyong, Fangling, and Xicheng without blood, and divided the southern counties equally with Sun Quan, and successfully recovered Yu Ban and 30,000 soldiers from Sun Quan; even almost succeeded in sneaking up on Shu Han's throat.

At the same time, Soochow has also gained a lot.

In a series of battles, although Sun Quan lost Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, Sun Jiao and other generals, lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and paid the price of 100,000 Jingzhou people, his vitality can be described as a great injury.

But in any case, half of Jingzhou was finally obtained, and the strategic purpose of Lu Su's "Couch Strategy" that year had almost been achieved.

On the surface, the most tragic seems to be Shu Han.

Except for Zigui and Wuxian, as well as Wuling County, which was partially owned by Wuximan, its power almost completely withdrew from Jingzhou; also lost the famous general Guan Yu, and the mastermind was correct.

For Shu Han, this series of blows was huge, almost declaring Zhuge Liang Longzhong's bankruptcy of strategy.

But Jiang Wei, who has been a man in two lifetimes, knows that the current result is much better than the historical standard.

Because the Battle of Yiling came ahead of schedule, Guan Yu and Fa Zheng finally caught up with this big battle, and with their own talents, they helped Shu Han defeat Sun Quan, avoiding the original history, the essence of Yizhou was burned clean by Lu Xun, and Liu Bei was discouraged and the end of the White Emperor Tuogu.

Although the competition between the three kingdoms in Jingzhou has come to an end for the time being, in the next ten years, the whole world will not be peaceful at all.

Historically, after Cao **, his successor Cao Pi was about to become emperor, and then launched three full-scale wars against Eastern Wu.

In Jiang Wei's view, each of the above nodes is an opportunity for Zhuge Liang to mention that "the world has changed", and it is also an excellent opportunity for Shu Han to take advantage of the situation to launch the Northern Expedition.

After this rush, Yizhou's vitality was finally preserved, which helped Shu Han save at least five years of time - undoubtedly, this is the biggest gain of this trip.

Secondly, Ma Liang, Guan Ping, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei and other old Jingzhou members finally saved their lives; Guan Yu's 20,000 elite soldiers trained in Jingzhou and their families, totaling more than 100,000 people, finally moved to Yizhou. This will also greatly supplement the strength of Shu Han, which is really a blessing in misfortune.

As for Guan Yu's death, it is regrettable, but it is even more respectable.

Death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than feathers. Guan Yu's death obviously belongs to the former.

Guan Yu died at the hands of Cao Cao, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei would inevitably burn their anger at Cao Wei, which also meant that within a few years, Liu Bei's willingness to go on a northern expedition would completely overwhelm the call to return to Jingzhou and become the national policy of Shu Han.

Moreover, in history, Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou caused public indignation among officials from Jingzhou, and they quietly flare-up their anger on Guan's descendants.

The eldest son, Guan Ping, died in battle with his father and did not say anything; Guan Xing, the second son of the rare Lingwen, although he later served in the official residence in Shuzhong, died early at a young age, and it has something to do with the cold words around him; The little girl Yinping would rather marry the remote Nanzhong than continue to stay in Shuzhong for one more day.

Even, during the time of Zhonghui and Deng Aihuashu, Pang De's son Pang Hui avenged his father and punished the Guan family all over the house, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty had a beak!

Historically, the situation of the descendants of the Guan family was actually very difficult.

But this time, Guan Yu used his proud record to wash away the humiliation of losing ground; And with his own sacrifice, he defended the back road of the army.

He owes a debt to others, and he has repaid it at the Dragon Gate; Others owe him a favor, but there is no chance to repay it.

Because of this, the descendants of the Guan family will definitely be respected as they deserve.

Moreover, as far as a 100,000-strong war like the Battle of Yiling is concerned, it usually only happens every ten years, and not everyone has the opportunity to see it.

The last national war was the Battle of Chibi more than ten years ago, after which, Lü Meng, Jiang Qin, and Gan Ning, who were not famous at that time, began to take charge alone; The last one was the Battle of Guandu twenty years ago, which made Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and even Zhang He later.

This year, after this Yiling War, Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Jufu, Wang Ping, Xiang Zhong and other generals of the new generation began to emerge, their overall awareness and command skills will be sublimated, and they will slowly come to the front line against Wei Wu.

Jiang Wei's mind was full of Fa Zheng's thoughts on the Northern Expedition at the moment, and he walked leisurely, gradually becoming fierce and ambitious.

"Excavate talents, make peace with Rong Fuyi, and reorganize the army for war...... There is still so much to do before the Northern Expedition......"

"Well, since time is running out, why bother to do Tao Hui again, and doing it vigorously is the right way!"

With a plan in his mind, he immediately turned around and returned, preparing to clean up the aftermath of Fazheng.

At that time, the bright moon was there, and it was back from the clouds.

The young man walked alone under the moon, and during the journey, he no longer hesitated, and he had a more calm confidence from the bottom of his heart.

(Jingxiang is at the end of the storm.) ）
