Chapter 331 Weiyang Palace Chapter Wu worries about the sky, Zhuge Lu Wenwu plots

In the last book, it was said that Liu Bei conquered Tongguan in one fell swoop, and an army of 300,000 troops was about to arrive in Chang'an.

Cao Cao saw that things were not good, so he was decisive, and immediately ordered to retreat to Hanzhong with tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, leaving the general Dian Wei, the military division Sima Yi and others with 60,000 troops to garrison Xiegu Pass.

The soldiers got Chang'an without blood, but Liu Bei's face did not show the joy after the victory, but a slightly worried expression.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were following beside him, were aware of this emotion, but they did not ask out loud.

Guan Yu looked sideways at Zhuge Liang and motioned to the latter.

Zhuge Liang smiled and shook his head, not wanting to comfort Liu Bei at this time.

The group went straight into the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

Liu Bei sat on the dragon chair, solemn and solemn, but he was silent.

Guan Yu looked at Zhuge Liang again.

Seeing that Guan Gong's red face was a little purple, Zhuge Liang came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play!" ”

"Aiqing, please speak."

"Now that the north of the Yellow River has been recovered, Your Majesty should issue an edict to stabilize the people and deploy troops to Tuntian!" Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Bei nodded, as if he had just woken up from the distraction just now, a smile appeared on his face, and he promised: "Aiqing should play this time!" Within a few months, our army has conquered several counties, and the soldiers are all tired, so let's give them a tangle to go home and visit! How about a half-moon holiday? ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers responded in unison.

"When they return to the barracks, let's talk about the deployment of troops in the fields! Leave this matter to Dasi Nong! Liu Bei commanded.

Dasi Nong and Qia Ke did not come with the army, but stayed by the side of the prince in Luoyang City.

Zhuge Liang stepped aside.

Pang Tong said: "Your Majesty's face has been very bad since he entered the city, I don't know why His Majesty is worried? The ministers are terrified! ”

Hearing Pang Tong's inquiry, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals also looked like curious babies.

Smiling, Liu Bei said, "Hey, there's nothing else!" I just regretted that I had escaped from Cao Cao! Let Zhu Qing remember! ”

Pang Tongyan said: "Cao Cao retreated to Hanzhong because of Zhang Lu. Could it be that His Majesty is worried that Cao A's plot will not succeed in benefiting the state? ”

"Not bad!" Worry appeared on Liu Bei's face again, he looked into the distance, as if looking at Cao Cao, who had fled into the mountains: "Ah Pu is suspicious, he must have prepared for the defense of Xiegu Pass a long time ago!" Then he must have calculated how to make a profit for the state! ”

"It's a pity that Liu Jiyu has always refused to believe in the cause of Emperor Xiaoxian's death, although he ostensibly accepted His Majesty's canonization, but ......" Guan Yu also expressed his suspicions about Liu Zhang.

Zhuge Liang said on the side: "Regardless of whether Liu Jiyu accepts the little emperor or not, Your Majesty will set up a defensive line and recuperate, so as to capture Hanzhong in the future!" Why bother yourself at this time? As he spoke, he glanced at Pang Tong and Guan Yu.

Pang Tong immediately understood, and quickly changed his words to persuade Liu Bei.

However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't know what to do, but they also echoed it.

Everyone had nothing else to do, so Liu Bei retreated to the harem to rest.

Guan Yu stopped Zhuge Liang and asked, "Kong Ming, what did you mean just now?" ”

"General, things should be slowed down, not widely read! Besides, Your Majesty has a long journey and must recuperate! If the two generals have enough energy, why don't you go to the mansion with the two of us? Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"That's it!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong towards Zhuge Liang's temporary residence.

In Zhuge Liang's mansion, the sword attendant and the qin boy had already cleaned up the courtyard, and Zhuge Qiao and Zhuge Zhan brothers stood in front of the door waiting for Zhuge Liang to return to the house. Apart from these four people, there is no one else in the house.

Seeing Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang coming back together, the Zhuge Qiao brothers hurriedly greeted them.

"I've seen two generals, and I've seen Uncle Pang!"

"No courtesy."

……

When they came to the house, the four of them sat down.

The sword attendant and the piano boy waited on the side.

Zhuge Qiao poured tea for Guan Yu and others, and Zhuge Zhan served fruit snacks.

confessed to the four adults, and the two brothers withdrew.

"Kong Ming, how can I help the imperial brother relieve his troubles?" Zhang Fei is a big old man, he has something in his heart, once he leaves Liu Bei, he will inevitably tell it.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said jokingly: "Naturally, I caught Cao Apu, and Your Majesty's troubles were solved!" ”

"You ......" Zhang Fei was out of power by Zhuge Liang's words.

Guan Yu gently patted the table and reminded, "Third brother, don't worry! ”

Because of the grace of Zhang Fei's acquaintance, Pang Tong said: "In fact, Your Majesty's troubles are still Liu Jiyu's whereabouts!" Since the beginning of the Yellow Turban, the world has been in chaos, the people are miserable, and the territory of the Han Dynasty has been torn apart! As a descendant of the ancestors, Your Majesty often takes the unification of the world as his own responsibility! I thought that the clan could focus on the overall situation, but I didn't know that everyone wanted it, and no one really shared it. Of the three clansmen, only Liu Jingsheng's eldest son Liu Qi remains! And Liu Jingsheng's second son, Liu Cong, has openly opposed His Majesty and voted for Soochow. Now if Liu Jiyu is voting for Cao Cao, how can Your Majesty not be troubled? ”

Only then did Zhang Fei understand what Zhuge Liang had just joked about himself.

Zhuge Liang asked: "Shiyuan, can you benefit the news of Zhang Yongnian in the state?" ”

Zhang Yongnian, the name Song, the word Yongnian, was a native of Chengdu (now Sichuan) in Shu County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a subordinate of Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang.

It is recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as follows:

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, was sent to Cao Cao without being recorded by him, so he was resentful. After returning to Shu, he persuaded Liu Zhang to sever relations with Cao Cao, and said that Zhang was good for Liu Bei; Later, he said that Zhang Yingbei was ready to attack Zhang Lu, which was adopted by Zhang. In the seventeenth year (212), he secretly aided Liu Bei and was denounced by his brother Zhang Su, and Liu Zhang was angry and beheaded him.

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "After persuading Liu Zhang to accept His Majesty's canonization, Zhang Yongnian was placed under house arrest by his brother Zhang Junqiao. I heard that his wife was not allowed to go out at will, and it was really embarrassing for him! ”

"Yes! Now if you want to fight for Liu Zhang, you must send someone to Yizhou for a trip! It's just that Zhang Yongnian is under house arrest, who should we mediate with? Guan Yu sighed and said.

Zhuge Liang stopped the feather fan in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said: "Liang remembers one person, maybe he can help His Majesty!" ”

"Who?" All three of them asked in surprise.

"This person is over forty years old, and he is similar to the appearance. It's just that he is not good at speculation, and now he is just a county order under Liu Zhang's rule. Zhuge Liang said.

"How can a county magistrate speak in front of Liu Jiyu?" Zhang Fei snorted dissatisfiedly.

But he was Mr. Zhang's only friend. Now, only he can get in touch with Zhang Yongnian! Zhuge Liang explained.

Pang Tong nodded and said, "This person's surname is Zhengzi and filial piety, and he is good friends with Zhang Song and Zhang Yongnian. I've heard of this person too. It seems that this is the only way to meet Zhang Yongnian! ”

After discussion, the four of them had dinner together in Zhuge Liang's mansion, and then entered the palace together to see Liu Bei.

The law is correct, and the word is filial piety.

It is written in the book:

Fa Zheng (176-220), the word filial piety, Fufeng Yi (now Xiaofayi Town, Meixian County, Shaanxi Province), a strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Originally a subordinate of Liu Zhang, Liu Bei persuaded Liu Zhang to surrender when he besieged Chengdu, and then entered Hanzhong with Liu Bei, and offered a plan to behead Cao Cao's general Xiahou Yuan. Fa Zheng is good at scheming, and is deeply trusted and respected by Liu Bei. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Liu Bei became the queen of Hanzhong, and Feng Fazheng was the general of Shangshu and the protector army. The following year, Fa Zheng died at the age of forty-five. Fa Zheng's death made Liu Bei very sad and cried for several days. was posthumously named the Wing Marquis, and was the only minister with a nickname in Liu Bei's era. Fa Zheng is good at scheming, and was praised by Chen Shou as Cheng Yu and Guo Jia under Cao Cao's account.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he has many highlights: he said that Liu Bei entered Sichuan, won over the scholars to help Liu Bei, and offered a plan to attack Dingjun Mountain as Huang Zhong's advocate of killing Xiahou Yuan......

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he and Zhuge Liang were both Liu Bei's ministers. He is scheming. When Liu Bei went on the expedition, he often followed him and gave advice to Liu Bei. Unfortunately, he died in front of the Battle of Yiling. If he hadn't died, what would have happened to the Battle of Yiling? It's still unknown......

Hearing that someone was sent to Yizhou, Liu Bei's spirit came up.

"Back then, I had a great relationship with Ji Yu, and even he had a gentle temperament. Now that he is surrounded by ruthless people, can he ......? Liu Bei said as he spoke, suddenly stopped, and sighed, "Hey! If my uncle could live until now, maybe Yizhou wouldn't be like this! ”

"Your Majesty, the past is all over the past, and you should be relieved!" Zhuge Liang persuaded.

"What Aiqing said is extremely true." Liu Bei smiled, and then asked, "I heard that the military generals in front of Ji Yu were divided into two factions. Zhang Song and Zhang Yongnian strongly persuaded Ji Yu to accept my canonization; However, the military general Zhang Ren and the strategist Zhang Su persuaded Ji Yu to stand on his own. Is there such a thing? ”

"It is true. In the past, Ji Yu was entitled, and Zhang Yongnian had the credit of mediating it. Zhuge Liang replied.

"Good! I wrote the holy decree and sent someone to Yizhou to hand it over to Zhang Yongnian! Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were all panicked, and hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, no!" ”

Liu Bei asked puzzledly, "Why not?" ”

Zhang Yongnian was persecuted by his brother Zhang Su and placed under house arrest. If we want him to talk to us this time, it will take some tongues!" Zhuge Liang said.

"Humph! So hateful! Is there a countermeasure? Liu Bei knew that if Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong hadn't thought of a countermeasure, they wouldn't have come to disturb him.

Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei what they had discussed.

"Your Majesty, if you can hand over Your Majesty's holy decree to Fa Xiaozhi, he will hand it over to Zhang Song. Once he saw the holy decree, Zhang Song would inevitably find a way to meet the king of Chengdu. Zhuge Liang said.

"It seems that this is the only way! But who is in charge? Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, let's let General Zhang Ji go!" ”

The last envoy to Yizhou was Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji is the person who has followed Liu Bei the longest.

Starting from Youzhou, Zhang Ji and Xijie gradually fell to the status of five or six generals because of their own qualifications. gradually escaped from the field of vision of Liu Bei, who was in a high position.

Until Liu Bei ruled Liuzhou and became the general of Zhendong, Xijie died of illness at home. Liu Bei realized that these veterans around him could transfer Zhang Ji, who was still a cavalry general, to his personal guards.

After ascending to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Liu Bei made an exception and canonized Zhang Ji as the general of Jintong. Although he is a miscellaneous general and has four official residences, he is the best of the four......
