Jiang Wei was responsible for guarding the guard, so naturally he couldn't go crazy with them. Moreover, the war in Jingzhou has always been haunted in his chest, so he decided to go to Fa Zheng to explore the wind again. At that moment, taking the opportunity of shuttling around the battalion, he gradually walked to the officer's tent area. Suddenly, at the door of the tent area, Fa Zheng was standing with his hands behind his back, as if he had calculated that he would come.

Jiang Wei hurriedly dismounted and saluted: "The last general will see Shang Shuling." ”

Fa Zheng turned around and said expressionlessly: "Ten days ago, Wu Hou sent a letter, in which he said that Wu Guotai was not in good health, and summoned Mrs. Sun to return Jianye. The lord is benevolent, and the day before yesterday he had agreed to Mrs. Sun's departure. ”

The Mrs. Sun in his mouth is Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang, who married Liu Bei after the Battle of Chibi, and then followed Liu Bei into Sichuan. Because of its mother's prominent family background, its status in Shu is very high.

Jiang Wei frowned and said: "This must be Wu Hou's plan...... he stared at Fa Zheng suddenly, and said with a straight face: "What will I worry about at the end of the day...... I am afraid that it will be fulfilled. ”

Fa Zheng sighed: "Boyo's worries, I don't know how to do it. After you left that day, Yu and Kong Ming reminded the lord and asked him to summon Guan Jun to return to Xiangyang. ”

"What did the lord say?"

The lord was moved, and immediately sent a messenger to investigate. However, the envoy replied a few days ago, mentioning that Lü Meng, the governor of Wu, was seriously ill and replaced by Lu Xun, who was not well known. According to what he said, Lu Xun has a weak personality, and he wants food for food and a ship for a ship, which can be described as extremely flattering. ”

"It's... This may be Lu Xun's arrogant enemy's plan! ”

Yu also reminded the lord with this. The lord said: Lu Meng has been in Xiakou for many years and has won the hearts of the military. If he is still here, he should be cautious. But since Lu Meng has stepped down and Lu Xun has no experience in commanding troops, if Yun Chang can't even deal with such a yellow-mouthed erection, he will not be the invincible Guan Yun Chang in the world. Hey, speaking of which, I'm afraid that in the heart of the lord, he trusts General Guan more than Yu and Kong Ming. ”

Jiang Wei was a little speechless. Liu Bei is known for knowing people, but this is only for people he is familiar with. When you meet someone you don't know well, you will inevitably be suspicious of random judgment.

His carelessness towards Lu Xun is evident in this. In history, Liu Bei only misjudged once, which led to the defeat of the army and the death of the White Emperor. What's more, Jiang Wei, the person who crossed over, knew that being seriously ill was just an excuse for Lu Meng, and he was lurking in the shadows, ready to find an opportunity to launch a fatal blow at Guan Yu's weakest point.

Seeing that Jiang Wei was silent, Fa Zheng said quietly: "Kong Ming called Yu the auxiliary wing of the Han Dynasty, but Yu couldn't persuade the lord, this is the position of the master, hum, it's really competent!" ”

Jiang Wei knew that he was laughing at himself, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Even Fa Zheng can't persuade Liu Bei, and now, except for himself who is familiar with the direction of history, and maybe there will be a glimmer of opportunity, I'm afraid there is no other way." Thinking of this, he suddenly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said: "There will be one thing to ask for in the end, please Shangshu order it to be fulfilled!" ”

Fa Zheng's eyes lit up: "Boyo speak." ”

"Please Shang Shuling send the last general to Jingzhou for business as soon as possible, since the last general can expect Sun Wu to betray the alliance, he is also willing to go to the dangerous place in person, in exchange for a glimmer of life for Guan Junhou!"

After being silent for a long time, Fa Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked slowly, "How sure are you?" ”

"It won't be higher than fifty percent, but the general is willing to try his best."

"It's only fifty percent......" Fa Zheng stopped talking, got up and paced to think. He didn't answer in a straight way, but turned around and strode into the tent.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If Fa Zheng did not agree to his request, with his decisive character, he would definitely refute it on the spot, and since he had not refused, he must have already moved.

And as far as he knows, Fa Zheng himself is a gambler's character, as long as the lottery is big enough, even if there is only a slight chance, he will be bold to try. The offer of a plan to seize Hanzhong is a clear proof of this.

In this gamble, the bet is only himself, and winning can save Guan Yu's life; If you lose, you will lose a new general, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Jiang Wei believes that with a fifty percent certainty, it is enough for Fa Zheng to make a final decision.

******

In the autumn hunt, in order to show off his martial arts, Liu Bei was old after all, and after shooting the first arrow of the trip, he returned to the camp.

He was displaced in the first half of his life, and in his later years, he finally got an heir, so he naturally cherished it very much. However, time was not convenient, and then caught up with a series of battles such as the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Shu, and the Battle of Hanzhong, and there was no time to get along with Liu Chan.

Liu Chan grew up in the hands of women since he was a child, and he was quite timid and cowardly, which was not the same as the tiger son of the Zhang family.

Now that Hanzhong has decided at the beginning, Liu Bei has only been idle at this time, and he decided to accompany his son Liu Chan more to fulfill his father's obligation to teach. This time, he took the opportunity of the autumn hunt to bring Liu Chan here, and he also had the intention of letting his son see the killing scene, so as to strengthen his courage.

Liu Chan is 12 years old and does not know how to ride a horse. Liu Bei was in the horse farm in the camp, one step at a time, and personally taught the art of horse riding.

Horses are specially selected ponies with short stature and docile temperament, making them the most suitable for novice practice.

But even with such a short horse, Liu Chan was very afraid and didn't dare to approach. Liu Bei was patient, soothed his emotions with kind words, and carefully pointed out the key to riding, and it took most of the hour for Liu Chanfang to muster up the courage to ride on the horse.

After all, it is the nature of a teenager, and this ride will be happy. Show off your might, so happy. It wasn't until the sky was getting dark that Liu Chan was reluctant to get off the horse.

He was still unsatisfied, and said, "Father, this horse is too small, can the child ride a big horse tomorrow?" ”

Liu Bei stroked his son's hair and said with a smile: "You just learned to ride a horse, and you are still young, I'm afraid you can't control a big horse." ”

Liu Chan's round eyes rolled, and he asked again: "When the child grows up, will he be able to ride a mighty horse like Brother Zhang Bao?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Fool, the big horse on the battlefield has a bad temper, your brother Zhang Bao's black horse was born to your third uncle's Shenjun Wang Chai, and he has a strong temperament, and your brother Zhang Bao is strong in martial arts to be able to surrender, how can it be so easy to be driven away?" ”

Liu Chan was a little discouraged: "Isn't that kid forever only able to ride a foal?" ”

Liu Bei was reluctant to sweep away his beloved son's interest in learning martial arts, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and encouraged:

"If one day Adou gets a horse, if it refuses to obey discipline, you will whip it, and the harder it is drawn, the more painful it will be, and it will not let him ride for a day, and you will beat him for a day, and one day, the horse will be afraid of the whip in your hand, and will have to obediently bow down at your feet."

Liu Chan clapped his hands and smiled: "When I grow up, I will definitely ask Mr. Zhuge to help me make a big horse whip, so that the child can ride many big horses!" When the child grows up, he wants to be a general like Zhang Bao's brother, so that he can share his father's worries! ”

Liu Bei was very relieved when he heard this, and a relieved smile bloomed. Seeing his son mention Zhuge Liang, he suddenly thought about it, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "There are also some horses that are fierce, and the more you whip, the more they will disobey discipline." You have to take the trouble to be friends with such a horse, and you have to feed him yourself, wash him, talk to him every day, know what he thinks, and in time the horse will recognize you as his master, and willingly be driven by you. Father's words today, Adou must be remembered. ”

He seemed to mean something, but Liu Chan was just a teenager, how could he understand the deep meaning, he just nodded and replied: "Yes, the child wrote it down." ”

Liu Bei smiled, and he was not in a hurry, some things can only be understood, not spoken.

At that moment, he asked a few more questions about his homework, but when he saw that Liu Chan was hesitant and couldn't answer, he immediately frowned and said, "But haven't you listened to Mr. Du's lecture well?" ”

Liu Chan saw that his father was a little angry, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Du's knowledge is excellent, but the lecture is a little boring. Or Mr. Zhuge said it interestingly. Father, when will Mr. Zhuge come to give a lecture to Adou again? ”

Mr. Du is Du Qiong, the word Boyu, a CD man from Shu County, who studied with the famous Confucian Ren An since he was a child, and is a well-known scholar in Shu.

After Liu Bei entered Shu, Zhuge Liang was personally responsible for the academic aspects of Liu Chan and his younger brother Liu Yong. Until the outbreak of the Battle of Hanzhong two years ago, Zhuge Liang threw himself into the logistics coordination, and was replaced by Du Qiong, who was responsible for the education of Liu Chan and Liu Yong.

Du Qiong is stereotyped, silent and rarely spoken, which Liu Bei knows, and it is no wonder that Liu Chan is not interested in the content of his class. He thought for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Zhuge is busy with affairs, I'm afraid I won't have time to teach Adou anymore." Fang Cai Adou said that he wanted to help his father? If you can listen to the lecture well, you will be doing your father a great favor. ”

Liu Chan's eyes widened and he was puzzled: "The child doesn't understand. ”

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Mr. Du has a lot of capable sages around him, and my father has always wanted to invite them to come out to do things for the imperial court, but they have doubts about their father's talent and are unwilling to accept their father's solicitation. ”

He paused and continued: "Father's country is to be handed over to you after all, now that you are studying with Mr. Du, if you can respect your teacher, work hard, show the bearing of a corporal of Lixian, and let Mr. Du think that you are a virtuous master, then his friends will naturally be willing to work for you, in this way, wouldn't Adou help my father a lot?" ”

Liu Chan showed a look of sudden realization, and said with a straight face: "The child will definitely respect Mr. Du when he goes back, study hard, and never be naughty again." ”

Liu Bei was very relieved, stroked Liu Chan's back, and said: "You have to remember that for the superior, only virtuous and virtuous can serve others." ”
