Chapter 232: Expedition to Xichuan
The thirteenth year of Jian'an, October. Wei Yan proposed in Jiangzhou according to the law that 10,000 troops should be surrendered, and 10,000 new soldiers should be recruited and handed over to Meng Da for training and used to attack Chengdu. After the fall of Dongguanghan County, Wu Yi led troops to resist Wei Yan in Jiangyang County.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, in November, Ma Hong decided to personally recruit Liu Zhang, led 3,000 troops into Xichuan, and took Pang De, Hu Du, and Ma Tan into Han County, Guangdong. Guangdong Han County is the gateway to Shu County, once Guangdong Han County is lost, Ma Hong's army will be able to attack Shu County at any time.
After Ma Hong entered Han County, Guangdong, under the planning of Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, Meng Da, Wei Yan, Deng Zhi and others, Wei Yan divided 10,000 troops with Ma Hong, and sent Wang Ping and Fa Zheng to assist Ma Hong. Wei Yan continued to attack Wu Yi in Jiangyang County, while Ma Hongqin led the main force to attack Jiangyang County.
"Brother, Fa Zheng and Wang Ping are here."
Ma Tan said to Ma Hong, who closed his eyes and recuperated.
Ma Hong opened his eyes, stood up and said three good words, and then went out to greet Fa Zheng and Wang Ping, Ma Hong saw Fa Zheng dismount from a distance, trotted quickly to Fa Zheng's side, grabbed Fa Zheng's hand with both hands and said, "Xiaozhi, you are here." ”
Fa Zheng looked at Ma Hong's hot eyes, bent down and saluted Ma Hong: "Fa Zheng greets the lord." ”
Ma Hong hurriedly picked up Fa Zheng and said with a smile: "I have to be filial to the law, and Xichuan can be determined." ”
Fa Zheng was praised by Ma Hong and said: "Fa Zheng is willing to go to the soup for the Lord, and he will not give up." ”
The person who is a confidant dies, Fa Zheng has taken refuge in Liu Zhang for many years, has not been reused, has been idle to be a small county order, and now just under Ma Hong, he was put in such an important position by Ma Hong, how can Fa Zheng not be happy, his friend Meng Da has become the county guard, Zhang Song also succeeded him as Wei Yan's military advisor, and Fa Zheng has now become Ma Hong's military advisor, which is compared with Liu Zhang's command, he dare not imagine. Fa Zheng was not a hot-blooded person, but at this moment he clearly felt the boiling of blood, the young monarch in front of him, with fiery eyes, he looked at himself sincerely, he believed in himself.
Then I will use all my strength to help you take Yizhou! Fa Zheng said from the bottom of his heart. Although Fa Zheng is not a fortune teller, but from the first time he saw Ma Hong, he strengthened his belief in his heart, the person in front of him must be a person who can become a hegemon, maybe he is also a person who can calm the world, he is young, he is hot, he is calm, his hands are very long, and his desire is great.
What's more important is that he knows people, he knows what his men want.
"My lord, now that it is winter, we can train our troops here and recruit soldiers to attack Shu County next spring." Fa Zheng said.
Ma Hong smiled and said, "According to what Xiaozhi said. ”
In the human heart, there are complex, incomprehensible, terrifying and terrifying things. It is said that it is desire, it is slightly inconsistent, it is vain, and it is not appropriate enough, even if the two are placed together, it is still not enough to describe, what is it, Fa Zheng is also ignorant, but Fa Zheng feels that if he follows Ma Hong, he will one day be able to understand what he wants.
There is a saying called "the person who can't see the light," referring to the miserable losers and losers in the world, Fa Zheng feels that Liu Zhang is the kind of person who can't see the light, although he is the lord of Yizhou, but he is looked down upon by the Yizhou scholars, and is secretly accused, once he encounters the light of a strong man like Ma Hong, he will be like a bed bug and can only hide in the dirty and damp corner, this kind of person will never be the person Fa Zheng needs to pursue, because the character of this kind of person who cannot see the light has been determined from birth. Following this kind of person who can't see the light is a kind of torture, the longer you follow him, the deeper your torture will be, every night, the pain will be deeper and deeper, straight through the muscles and bones, the torture every night, like being in the Senluo Hell, the wound gradually spreads to every corner of the heart, that trace of pain suggests that Fa Zheng should choose betrayal rather than accompany this mediocre master to survive his life.
Some people betray because of money.
Some people betray because of power.
Some people betray because of money and power.
Whereas. Fazheng's betrayal was because of the desire of his heart.
Chengdu, Liufu.
A slightly chubby man walked back and forth in the room, the man's hair was half white, his fingers were inserted into his hair from time to time, rubbing his hair, and sighing from time to time, this man was Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang. Most of the southern part of Yizhou is a gathering place of barbarians, Ma Hong bought Jianning with a lot of money and food, surnamed Yonghong, Yonghong is a wealthy clan in Jianning, and has been favored by the barbarians in the south, and Meng was rebelled. Yonghong, Zhu Bao, and Gao Ding gathered their men and horses to attack Yongchang County together with the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo.
Yonghong, Ma Hong has some understanding, Yonghong is the Han Shifang Marquis Yongya, during the Three Kingdoms period, the Yongchang Taishou of the Eastern Wu Department. Why is Yongchang in Yizhou, and Yonghong is indeed Yongchang Taishou of Eastern Wu? That's because Liu Bei launched the Battle of Yiling, died of illness in the White Emperor City after the defeat, after Liu Bei's death, Yonghong, who was already unhappy with Liu Bei, was ambitious, so he united Zhu Bao, Gao Ding and others, and also joined the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu to rebel together, took Yongchang County, surrendered to Eastern Wu, and then Sun Quan sealed Yonghong in the distance as Yongchang Taishou. After that, there was the story of Zhuge Liang's conquest of the Southern Barbarians and the capture of Meng Shu seven times, and this Yonghong was the initiator of this rebellion.
Gao Ding, the king of Shu Yue Wangyi during the Three Kingdoms. After Liu Bei's death, Gao Ding rebelled with Yonghong, rebellion This kind of thing, a wealthy rebellion, must be very involved, Yonghong this person is ambitious, in the Nanban ethnic minorities are famous, so Gao Ding helped Yonghong to besiege Yongchang together, in history Liu Bei was not dead before Gao Ding sent troops to besiege Xindao County, was shot away by Li Yan. This barbarian tribe was originally very unhappy with Liu Bei, after Liu Bei's death, as soon as Yonghong rebelled, Gao Ding naturally wanted to rebel. Of course, it was their rebellion that caused Zhuge Liang's southern expedition.
Zhu Bao, in history, was a Shu official, and he was too guarded. This person is a little bit of an eye, Zhu Bao in history also rebelled with Yonghong, Yonghong was not too shou at the time, just a big wealthy family, but Zhu Bao is the Taishou of Zhu Qi, a Taishou followed the opposite, although the south of Yizhou is very barren, but the south barbarians went north, and the Han people rebelled, so after Liu Bei's death, the trouble brought to Zhuge Liang was indeed not small.
These three people have been in Jian'an for 12 years, and naturally it has become the climate, Zhu Bao has already done the Taishou of Qi, Yonghong is still a wealthy family in Jianning, and Meng Huo is already the king of the barbarians, Ma Hong sent people to send money to Yonghong, and Yonghong agreed, if he can rebel and attack Liu Zhang, then wait for Ma Hong to take Yizhou, and the five counties of Yongchang County, Yizhou County, Qiqi County, Jianwei County, and Yuewang County in the south of Yizhou will be distributed to Yonghong, and Ma Hong will only take the northern part of Yizhou.
Yonghong received this news, naturally he was overjoyed, Liu Yan entered Yizhou, vigorously suppressed the local wealthy family, Yongjia as a Yizhou clan, also suffered from suppression, now Liu Zhang is trapped, he raised troops to do Liu Zhang, is also quite angry, in addition, Yonghong this person is also ambitious, and soon slapped with Ma Hong's slap, united Zhu Bao, Gao Ding, and pulled the barbarian king Meng Shu together to begin to capture the counties in the south of Yizhou.
