In the spring of the ninth year of Jian'an, after many negotiations with Liu Bei, Liu Zhang decided to send Fa Zheng as an envoy, hoping that Liu Bei would enter Shu and assist him in attacking Ma Teng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Liu Zhang thinks that Liu Bei is the same clan as himself, and he is known as a virtuous person, and he will never do anything that is anti-guest-oriented.

But even if he thought so, the Yizhou scholars repeatedly objected, and many civil officials led by Wang Lei thought that Liu Bei was a hero in the world and could not be allowed to enter Shu, otherwise he would suffer the consequences, and hoped that Liu Zhang would take back his fate.

And Wang Ti even admonished him to death, hoping that Liu Zhang could listen, but Liu Zhang not only did not listen, but planned to go out of the city to meet Liu Bei, so that Wang Ti fell to death under the city gate.

Are these people really loyal to Liu Zhang? After a thousand years, it is impossible to assert; But as far as we know, Liu Zhang is not very superior, Wen Taowu is not the leader of Cao Liu's enemies, are these people loyal to their own reputation?

Everyone knows that Yizhou is divided into Yizhou faction and Dongzhou faction, and the scholars are even more numerous; Perhaps these people felt that Liu Zhang's rule could give them the greatest benefits, and Liu Bei was a hero, and if he entered Shu, it would inevitably damage their own interests, or perhaps this was the reason why they vetoed Liu Zhang's invitation to Liu Bei to enter Shu.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period a hundred years ago, everyone in the scholar clan has put their own interests first, don't look at their current opposition to the rise of Liu Bei's opposition; When Liu Bei really enters Shu, I am afraid that they will surrender faster than anyone else! They don't demand how powerful their masters are, they just need to maximize the interests of their family.

Which of those families that have been prosperous for thousands of years is not for their own interests, defecting to the enemy when the enemy is coming?

But this is a later story, in short, Liu Bei's entry into Shu made the Yizhou scholars quite worried, but Liu Zhang listened to Zhang Song's slander, and when Liu Bei entered Jiangzhou, he went to greet him in person.

However, it was said that Liu Bei entered Shu this time, bringing a total of 10,000 horses, with Huang Zhong as the vanguard, Pang Tong as the military division, and the newly acquired son Liu Feng as the guard, and came to Yizhou in a mighty way; Because at this time, Nanjun was still vacillating by Wen Ping, Liu Bei sent Liu Pan to lobby, saying that Liu Bei wanted to pass by, and Wen Ping let Liu Bei's soldiers and horses leave.

Everyone knows about the false way to destroy Yu, and sure enough, Liu Bei suddenly made trouble when he borrowed the way, and took Nanjun in one go, and was surrendered to the general Huo Jun and others, and after Wen Ping scolded Liu Bei for having no faith, he turned around and went to Xun Gang in Xiangyang.

Liu Bei has always paid attention to faithfulness, not to mention that he is about to enter Shu now, if this matter spreads, won't it damage his reputation? How dare Liu Zhang trust himself at that time? So Liu Bei threw the responsibility for this matter on Pang Tong, pretending that he didn't know; And Pang Tong didn't mind at all, not to mention that when this matter spread out, they would say that he used a trick, and the matter of faith and righteousness was not something he needed to manage.

Liu Bei entered Jiangzhou, Liu Zhang traveled hundreds of miles to greet him, and when the two of them met each other, they asked for warmth. So Liu Zhang held a banquet and rewarded the three armies; During the banquet, Pang Tong hoped that Liu Bei would follow Guiyang's example and take the opportunity to kill Liu Zhang, but Liu Bei vetoed: "Ji Yu treats me with sincerity, not like Liu Jingsheng wants to harm him, how can he bear to harm this person?" Don't mention this again! ”

If this was a Hongmen banquet, Liu Bei might have listened to Pang Tong's opinion, but Liu Zhang kindly set up a feast, but he harmed him, what kind of system is this? If you say this, will you still be trusted by others in the future?

However, Liu Bei didn't want to take Liu Zhang's life, but someone wanted to take his life. Liu Zhang came in a hurry this time, and only brought 3,000 honor guards and generals such as Gao Pei and Wu Lan; In addition, the battle ahead was tight, and he did not dare to transfer the guards and horses, which looked quite shabby.

And Gao Pei got Huang Quan's secret letter, saying that Liu Bei had no faith, and ordered him to be killed during the banquet, Gao Pei came out and said: "Lord, it is the luck of the sky to meet with the same sect today, and a certain wish to dance the sword at the banquet and talk about the table to celebrate!" ”

No way! Again?

Liu Bei is also drunk, how can he go by himself, where is the Hongmen Banquet? The first time was in Xuzhou, and the second time was in Guiyang, how could it still be like this in Yizhou?

Liu Bei wasn't sure that this was Liu Zhang's instructions, but at least he could see that there were many people in Yizhou who didn't welcome his arrival. Liu Bei, who was almost resistant to the Hongmen banquet, saw that Gao Pei wanted to dance the sword, but said: "Although Bei has been on the battlefield for a long time, during the banquet, I don't want to see the blade out of the sheath, and I hope that the sect brother will forgive me!" ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, he repelled Gao Pei and only drank with Liu Bei.

On that day, the banquet was dispersed, but Gao Pei, who received the secret letter, and the generals who opposed Liu Bei around him were sullen; Perhaps they gradually realized that when Liu Bei saw today's Hongmen Banquet, he was afraid that he would take the opportunity to start, and they should come up with a follow-up move as soon as possible.

"You, go back to Chengdu with the secret letter, hand it over to General Huang Quan, and let him think of a way!"

The words were divided into two ends, Liu Bei avoided another Hongmen banquet today, and even recruited Pang Tong and Fa Zheng to enter the account and asked: "Today's banquet is very dangerous, I wonder if Liu Zhang can suspect me?" ”

Fa Zheng saw that Liu Bei was worried, but he asserted: "Uncle Huang is not worried, Liu Zhang is cowardly, it must be Huang Quan and others in Shuzhong who wrote a secret letter, so that Gao Pei and others secretly killed them, and the lord can rest assured." Three days later, Liu Zhang will return to Chengdu, and his men are only 3,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Pang Tong also said: "Fa Zheng's words are very consistent with me, if Liu Zhang returns to Chengdu, I will wait for the big plan of Shu, but I am afraid that it will be much more difficult." ”

In the face of the joint advice of the two major strategists, Liu Bei vetoed: "This move is very inappropriate, we are waiting for the first time to enter Shu, first, we should win the hearts of the people, and second, we should contact the generals of Shu; Moreover, I heard that there are many loyal generals in Shuzhong, if Liu Zhang is killed, even if Chengdu is taken, it is difficult to guarantee that the remaining counties will not surrender to Ma Teng, if at that time, we will fall short! ”

When the two heard this, they ignored Liu Bei's foresight and were convinced, so they followed Liu Bei's request and stayed for the time being. But at this time, there was a letter from Zhang Song in Chengdu, whose intention coincided with Fa Zheng, but Liu Bei just smiled and burned it.

Fa Zheng said again: "Now in addition to me and Zhang Song, there is another person who wants to take refuge in the emperor's uncle, this person's name is Meng Da, and I am a fellow villager, and I have admired the emperor's uncle for a long time. ”

"Don't be impatient in this matter...... I don't know how many people in Shu oppose Xuande? ”

Speaking of this, Fa Zheng didn't know how to talk about it, and after a while, he hurriedly responded: "Similar to Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Li Hui, Zhang Ren, Wu Yi, etc., whether it is a member of Chengdu or a county guard, there are countless opponents, and Uncle Huang needs to prepare early!" ”

But Liu Bei didn't care, he knew very well that these people were against him today, and when his troops came to the city, they could persuade him to surrender with just a few words.

Pang Tong said: "Now that Ma Teng has won Hanchang and Zitong in Brazil, the position of the soldier is Langzhong and Fushui, and I will let the lord go to Langzhong Tunza, which is a military town, and Ma Teng's main forces are stationed in Brazil, I don't know what the lord has to do?" ”

Liu Bei asked Fa Zheng rhetorically: "Who is stationed in Fushui and Langzhong?" ”

"The Fushui guard general is Liu Zhang's trusted general, named Liu Bi, and there are Lei Tong, Deng Xian and other generations under his command; The Langzhong guard is Zhang Ren, who is upright, loyal, good at guarding with soldiers, and repeatedly defeats Ma Teng, and is a tricky character. If Uncle Huang goes to Langzhong, I'm afraid something will be wrong......"

"I think it's the same, although the general of Fushui is Liu Zhang's cronies, Zhang Ren is quite tricky; If the lord wants to benefit the state and become a big thing, he should be in Fushui! ”

Liu Bei synthesized the opinions of the two and decided to take the preemptive action before Liu Zhang came to a conclusion, saying that he wanted to make a fushui.

Three days later, Liu Zhang asked Liu Bei to go to Chengdu together, but Liu Bei said: "Now the situation in the north is critical, and I am afraid that Ma Teng will force each other, so I am willing to share my worries for my brother and go to Fushui to garrison to resist the enemy army in Zitong!" ”

Seeing that Liu Bei was so eager to help him eliminate external worries, Liu Zhang was moved in his heart, and regardless of the opposition of his subordinates, he gave 100 carts of gold and silk, grain and straw and Liu Bei, and asked him to go to Fushui to station, and transferred Liu Bi and others who were stationed in Fushui, and ordered him to go to Langzhong and Baishui, and gave Fushui to Liu Bei almost completely.

Since then, Liu Bei has recruited talents in Fushui, gathered the hearts of the people, and recruited troops.

A war is about to break out in Shudi.
