Chapter 073: Filial piety and uprightness in the Wind Cultivation Law

Fa Zheng was one of Liu Bei's main strategists in the later period, and was Liu Bei's third strategist after Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and after he helped Liu Bei win the Battle of Hanzhong, he was named Shang Shuling and General of the Protector Army by Liu Bei, but died in the twenty-fifth (220) of Jian'an, at the age of forty-five. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Fa Zheng's death made Liu Bei very sentimental and cried for several days. He was posthumously named the Wing Marquis.

For Liu Zhang's group, Fa Zheng is undoubtedly a traitor, but for Liu Bei's group, Fa Zheng is Liu Bei's hero who entered Shu to seize Hanzhong, and Fa Zheng is still the only minister with a nickname in Liu Bei's era in history.

【Fazheng's Life】

Fa Zheng's life can be divided into two periods, the first is the Liu Zhang period, and the second is the Liu Bei period.

In the early years of Jian'an, the world was in turmoil, Fa Zheng and his friend Meng Da of the same county entered Shu together to attach Liu Zhang, but Fa Zheng had a bad character, and Liu Zhang did not know talents, which made Fa Zheng stay in Yizhou very depressed, and his position was small, at this time Fa Zheng met the first noble man in his life - Zhang Song, at that time Zhang Song was Yizhou Don't drive, one of the celebrities around Liu Zhang, after Zhang Song persuaded Liu Zhang to unite with Liu Bei, he strongly recommended to send Fa Zheng to Jingzhou, and introduced it to Liu Bei, Fa Zheng saw Liu Bei, and knew that he had met the Ming Lord, So he began to work for Liu Bei, who was also the second nobleman of Fazheng.

After Liu Bei entered Shu with the help of Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others, and seized Yizhou, during which Liu Bei's military advisor Pang Tong died, and Zhang Song was also punished by Liu Zhang because of exposure, and Fa Zheng gradually replaced Pang Tong as Liu Bei's new mastermind.

During the period of Liu Bei, Fa Zheng was in a high position, and after Liu Bei seized Yizhou, he was named Fa Zheng as the Taishou of Shu County and the general of Yangwu, Liu Bei called the queen of Hanzhong, and Fa Zheng was even more named Shang Shuling, and its status was honestly no longer under Zhuge Liang.

As one of Liu Bei's main advisers, Fa Zheng put forward a lot of suggestions for him. When Liu Zhang sent him to welcome Liu Bei into Shu, Fa Zheng persuaded Liu Bei to take the opportunity to seize Yizhou, and successfully persuaded Liu Bei to send troops; Later, when he met the alliance in Fucheng, Zhang Song also sent Fa Zheng to persuade Liu Bei to get rid of Liu Zhang, but Liu Bei did not comply; When Liu Bei crusaded against Liu Zhang, because Yizhou was engaged in Zheng Du, he suggested to Liu Zhang to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, Liu Bei was very worried when he knew it, but Fa Zheng decisively told Liu Bei that Liu Zhang could not agree, and said yes; After seizing Yizhou, Liu Bei disdained Xu Jing's personality and didn't want to reuse him, Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei to use Xu Jing's fame to buy bone horses, and Liu Bei reused Xu Jing; Fa Zheng also used the example of Jin Wengong to persuade Liu Bei to marry Wu, the sister of Liu Zhang's old general Wu Yi; When Liu Bei seized Hanzhong, Fa Zheng's credit was also great, and it was Fa Zheng who advised Liu Bei to send troops, and Cao Cao also said: "I know that Xuande does not do this, and it will be taught by others." ”

In other respects, Fa Zheng was also one of the formulators of the Shu family.

However, although Fa Zheng has made great contributions to Liu Bei, he can't wash away the matter of selling the owner and changing the court, which is somewhat similar to Gan Ning among the generals, the difference is that Fa Zheng only sold Liu Zhang, and Gan Ning successively sold Liu Zhang, Liu Biao and Huang Zu, and Fa Zheng's own character is not very good, and he is a little snobbish.

But compared with Pang Tong, Fa Zheng's status in Liu Bei's group is higher, after all, Pang Tong only participated in part of Liu Bei's capture of Yizhou, while Fa Zheng not only participated in Liu Bei's entire action to seize Yizhou, but also helped Liu Bei seize Hanzhong.

【Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang】

It is said that at that time, Fa Zheng was narrow-minded, the virtue of a meal, a small grievance, all in return, after Liu Bei seized Yizhou, Fa Zheng became the Taishou of Shu County, he executed several people who slandered him without authorization. Therefore, someone said to Zhuge Liang: "The law is too rampant in Shu County, general, you should tell the lord and restrain his powerful behavior." ”

Zhuge Liang replied: "When the lord was in the public security, he was afraid that Cao Cao would be strong in the north, that Sun would be forced in the east, and that Mrs. Sun would change around him. After Fa Xiaozhi became the assistant of the lord, the lord spread his wings and was no longer restrained by others, how can he now prohibit the law from acting according to his own will? At the beginning, Sun Quan married his sister Xu Liu Bei as his wife, Sun Quan's sister was quick-witted and fierce, and she had the character of several of her brothers, and there were always more than 100 sword-wiggling maids standing beside her, and Liu Bei was terrified every time she entered her room. Zhuge Liang also knew that Liu Bei trusted and loved Fazheng very much, so he said so.

Sun Sheng commented: Fu Weifu from below, the way to harm the country, the punishment is favored, the source of ruining the government and chaos, An can be a meritorious hero and extremely reckless, and he is fortunate to use his national authority? Therefore, although he is diligent, he will inevitably be punished for disobeying his orders, although Yang Gan is pro, he still kills indiscriminately, how can his husband not love him, and Wang Xian is also. Zhuge Shi's words are a punishment for dereliction of government.

What Sun Sheng said is some big truths, which is 100% true, but this does not mean that what he said is right, Sun Sheng is actually far from seeing as far as Zhuge Liang saw at that time, and the scene is actually useless in many cases, special circumstances should be treated specially, this Zhuge Liang sees it very clearly and thoroughly, and Yongji's theory has been since ancient times.

You have to know what the situation was at that time, at that time Liu Bei had just occupied Yizhou, and the world was far from being stable, at this time Liu Bei was in urgent need of talents, although Fa Zheng had a bad character, but his ability was real, and the price of Zhuge Liang offending Fa Zheng was very high. Fa Zheng itself is narrow-minded, typical can not be offended, as long as Zhuge Liang hits Fa Zheng's small report, the two are very likely to fall out, and Fa Zheng has Liu Bei's favor, Zhuge Liang may not be able to kill him at one time, which is likely to make Liu Bei Group internal bar, and where did Liu Bei Group have capital internal bar at that time!

Even if Zhuge Liang is sure to kill Fa Zheng, he will not do such an idiotic thing, you must know that there was only one strategist like Fa Zheng under Liu Bei at that time, and Zhuge Liang would let Liu Bei Group cut off his arm if he was stupid. Therefore, Zhuge Liang chose to win over Fazheng and unite the internal elite, as for those Yizhou people, they can only be embarrassed, and it cannot be ruled out that this is the deliberate suppression of the old forces in Yizhou by the Jingzhou group. But that's it, Liu Bei Group is still short of talents in the later period, in the Battle of Xiangfan and the Battle of Yiling, everyone around Guan Yu and Liu Bei can also see who they are!

According to records, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng, although the two have different interests, they can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses based on righteousness, and Zhuge Liang is often amazed by Fa Zheng's wisdom and strategy. After Liu Bei became emperor, he prepared to go east to conquer Sun Quan to avenge Guan Yu's shame, and many ministers advised him to stop it, but Liu Bei did not listen. In the second year of Zhang Wu (222), Liu Bei's army was defeated by the Wu army and retreated to the White Emperor City. Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "If Fa Xiaozhi is alive, he will definitely be able to dissuade the lord so that he will not enter the Eastern Wu, even if he enters the Eastern Wu, he will not suffer such a fiasco!" ”
