As soon as he heard that Fa Zheng had a plan, Liu Bei's expression immediately perked up, and he hurriedly asked: "I don't know what is the best strategy for filial piety?" ”

Fa Zheng stroked his beard and smiled: "Actually, this matter is also simple, if you want to persuade Wu Hou to send troops, you must have a more effective lobbyist, I think that the king might as well appoint Zhongzheng as an envoy, and he will send an envoy to Eastern Wu, most likely he can persuade Wu Hou."

Fa Zheng suddenly mentioned himself, Fang Shao looked stunned at first, and then guessed his intentions.

Fa Zheng continued: "Zhongzheng is Wu Hou's sister-in-law, this relationship is incomparable with ordinary envoys, and furthermore, Zhongzheng has also sent many envoys to Eastern Wu at the beginning, and has gained many times. ”

Fa Zheng's reason was really the same as Fang Shao's thoughts, he should have thought that his sister Wu Hou was not married for nothing, and sooner or later it would definitely come in handy.

It's just that now the two families of Sun and Liu are called alliances, but they are actually in the same bed and have different dreams, and the reason why Sun Quan's hundreds of thousands of troops are still standing still is waiting for the opportunity, as for whether to attack Cao or Liu, it is really difficult to make a conclusion.

If Sun Quan is inclined to attack Cao Ying, then his trip to Eastern Wu is nothing more than pushing Sun Quan again, so that he can make a decision early, and the chance of success is still very great.

But on the other hand, if Sun Quan's heart is already inclined to attack Liu in order to avenge the old revenge of the Battle of Jingzhou, then his trip to Dongwu is not going deep into the tiger's den in Longtan! With Sun Quan's surname, let alone his sister-in-law, even his own son can be sacrificed if necessary.

"Okay, you are filial piety, you are pushing me into the fire!" ’

Fang Shao secretly complained in his heart, but on the surface, he couldn't say anything, because what Fa Zheng said was very reasonable, on the surface, he was completely thinking about the overall situation, and as for the means laid out in secret, he really left no trace.

"Although filial piety is reasonable, Shao has not been an envoy to Soochow for many years, and he is not as familiar with the situation inside and outside Soochow as Fei Wenwei, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this position this time." Fang Shao had to politely refuse.

Fa Zheng immediately said: "Zhongzheng, why do you need to be humble, Fei Wenwei has sent envoys to Eastern Wu many times, although he has also achieved some results, but he has never been able to say that Wu Hou will send troops, and then let him go to Eastern Wu, nine times out of ten it will be the same result." At this critical time, instead of doing what you know is futile, why not let Zhongzheng you give it a try, at least there is some hope. Zhongzheng, at this critical moment of the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty, you must not shirk. ”

Fa Zheng said this, Fang Shao didn't know how to refute for a while, so he had to turn his gaze to Pang Tong, hoping that this "fellow party" of the Jingxiang Group could see through Fa Zheng's intentions and relieve himself as an outsider.

However, Pang Tong pretended not to see Fang Shao's gaze, pondered for a long time, and pretended to say in a deep voice: "At this critical moment, which side Dongwu is on is indeed crucial. I thought that at this time, Cao Ying would definitely send people to Jiangdong to lure Wu Hou with benefits, so we could not sit idly by, and we must also send people to Jiangdong as soon as possible to win Wu Hou's support. As for the candidate for this envoy, after calculation, it is indeed as Xiaozhi said, Zhongzheng is the best candidate. ”

Pang Tong's words surprised Fang Shao, he didn't expect him to also occupy Fazheng's side, however, Fang Shao was surprised at first, but then came to his senses.

Originally from Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong was the first strategist of the king of Hanzhong, but now that he has captured the battle of Guanzhong, from the layout to the front line, Fang Shao can be said to have made great contributions, and he is in the limelight. If you speculate with "malice", it is impossible for Pang Tong, the mastermind, not to be jealous of Fang Shao's merits.

Therefore, he will be the same as Fa Zheng and recommend Fang Shao to envoy to Soochow, but the potential purpose is not the same as Fa Zheng, most of them just want to take the opportunity to send him away from the front line in Guanzhong, so then, as the mastermind, Pang Tong will have no one to steal the show with him, and he can perform freely and calmly.

Of course, all this is just Fang Shao's speculation. In any case, Pang Tong's words still made Fang Shao quite dissatisfied.

Originally, Liu Bei's expression seemed to be still being weighed, but after listening to Pang Tong's words, he nodded slightly, and his expression was obviously inclined to agree.

Now that Liu Bei has made a decision, Fang Shao wants to accept it with a passive attitude, why not take the initiative to show it, so he said angrily: "For the importance of the country, Shao Zi is duty-bound." King, it's better to let Shao go to Eastern Wu, maybe he can really convince Wu Hou. ”

Fang Shao still left room for himself, and he did not make a guarantee that he would definitely persuade Sun Quan.

Liu Bei was very pleased when he heard it: "That is the case, then this time it will be hard to go to Zhongzheng, the trip to Dongwu, it is best to say that Wuhou can be moved, even if it doesn't work, Zhongzheng will return early, and by the side of the lonely, you still need Zhongzheng's plan." ”

Fang Shao arched his hand and said: "Shao remembers the king's instructions, but if you want to move Wu Hou at this time, you must have enough benefits to lure, but I don't know what is the bottom line that the king can give into?" ”

At this time, Liu Bei couldn't help but fall into deep thought, in fact, he also knew that if he wanted Sun Quan to send troops, it would not work without giving some sweetness, as for what could be exchanged at the moment, it was nothing more than Jingzhou that Sun Quan was thinking about.

Liu Bei's mind couldn't hide from these three strategists.

Fa Zheng said earnestly: "King, you can get it if you can give it up, and if you go down today, what is more important than Guanzhong." ”

As a representative of the Guan Longshi people, Fa Zheng did not directly say the proposal to cede Jingzhou, because he knew that this would inevitably damage the interests of the Jingxiang people, but he expressed it euphemistically, but the meaning was also in place.

Of course, Liu Bei understands the important surname of Guanzhong, but if Jingzhou is ceded, there are too many conflicts of interest involved, and it is not something that he can cut if he wants to.

In the military tent, the atmosphere became a little dull and delicate for a while.

At this moment, a wanton wild laugh suddenly broke the cold atmosphere.

The person who laughed wildly was Pang Tong, and in the laughter, he was all disdainful.

Liu Bei frowned slightly and asked, "Shiyuan, why are you laughing?" ”

Pang Tong restrained his smile slightly, and said disapprehantly: "What the king is worried about is nothing more than whether he should cede the land of Jingzhou to Sun Quan as a condition for him to send troops to Lianghuai, according to Tong's opinion, this does not need to be considered at all, what if Sun Quan agreed." ”

Pang Tong said it so simply, as if he was not from Jingzhou, and there was no pastoral lake of his own clan in the land of Jingzhou that was cut out, which would not harm his own interests.

However, Pang Tong is willing to sacrifice his own interests, but this does not mean that other Jingxiangshi people are also willing. Now that Zhuge Liang is not there, then, as the second-highest status Jingxiang scholar around Liu Bei, Fang Shao knows that if he does not raise objections at this time to protect the interests of Jingzhou scholars, he will inevitably be complained by the scholars of this group in the future.

So, Fang Shao immediately said: "Military division, Jingzhou is the root ......"

Before he could say a few words, Pang Tong suddenly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Zhongzheng doesn't need to say much, of course I understand what you mean." But you don't necessarily understand what I mean. ”

Fang Shao couldn't guess what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he said helplessly: "Shiyuan Junshi, don't hang our appetite, I don't know what your intentions are." ”

Pang Tong stroked his short black beard and said proudly: "It's very simple, you know, not every promise must be fulfilled." ”

Everyone was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

Fang Shao finally understood what Pang Tong meant, he was going to play with Sun Quan, first promised to cut Jingzhou, and waited until Sun Quan sent troops to fight Cao Ying, and after solving the predicament of Guanzhong, he would turn his face and refuse to admit it.

I have to say that this is indeed a cheeky strategy, but in today's world, if you are not thick-skinned, it will be destroyed a long time ago, it can be said that Pang Tong's strategy is still deeply in line with Fang Shao's appetite.

However, Liu Bei said: "The plan of the military advisor is certainly a good plan, but if there is a reversal of the matter, won't Lone become a traitor who reneges on his promise." ”

Liu Bei's words are probably a little insincere, in fact, since borrowing Jingzhou, he has not played Sun Quan once or twice, if he really takes his promise to Sun Quan seriously, then how can it be said to be prosperous again.

Obviously, Liu Bei also needs a gorgeous step to go down.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "The king is too worried, the military dispute is originally a deception, if he Wu Hou is not greedy for interests, how can he fall into our trap, in the final analysis, it is just that he is greedy, and what does it have to do with the king." ”

At this time, Liu Bei was no longer the pedantic Liu Bei of the year, Pang Tong let go of his burden in a few words, so he nodded in agreement, but then said: "Even if you use the strategy of a military advisor, but Wu Hou is very cunning, I am afraid that he may not be fooled." ”

Pang Tong thought about it and felt that it was the same, so he said: "The king is reasonable, so this time, we have to cut some meat." According to the opinion of the unification, if he first ceded the southernmost Guiyang County to Wu Hou as a deposit for his troops, Wu Hou was greedy for small profits, and he would inevitably be moved by it at that time. As for this Guiyang County, it is not very important, and it is blocked by mountains in the hinterland of Eastern Wu, even if it is given to Eastern Wu, it is not a big problem, what does the king think? ”

Pang Tong also worked as an errand under Sun Quan back then, and it seems that he has a thorough understanding of Sun Quan's surname.

Liu Bei consulted Fa Zheng and Fang Shao again, and both of them felt that it was feasible, so Liu Bei said happily: "Since you all have no objections, then Gu decided to use the strategy of a military advisor." Zhongzheng, if Wu Hou asks you for a price, you can promise him, as long as he is willing to send troops, after the matter is completed, he will cut the three counties east of Xiangshui to him, hmph, I don't believe that this Sun Zhongmou will not be fooled. ”

"Shao respectfully obeys the king's orders, and this envoy will go all out."

Fang Shao promised to be generous, but in his heart, he was thinking: 'The sentence "Tree is really right, it seems that I have to prepare for the future now......
