Everyone was alarmed by this noise, and Fang Shao looked for prestige, but saw a white-haired old man breaking through the guards and breaking into the hall angrily.

Fang Shao didn't know which one this was playing, so he asked Fa Zheng beside him, "I don't know who this person is?" ”

Fa Zheng glanced at the man with disdain, and replied in a low voice: "This person's name is Wang Lei, a native of Yizhou, and he is now an official. ”

"It turns out that this is that Wang Ti, looking at his German surname, most of them are coming for me."

Fang Shao recalled the records in the history books, and he had a little bottom in his heart, and he didn't move at the moment, just silently sipping the tea.

Liu Zhang was on the rise, and when he saw Wang Ti breaking in, he couldn't help but turn pale, and asked coldly: "Wang Zhi, why did you trespass without permission, and make such a big noise, then you are not afraid of losing the dignity of my Yizhou in front of Liu Jingzhou's envoy." ”

Wang Lei swept around, and it was easy to find Fang Shao's unfamiliar face, thinking that it was the envoy from Jingzhou, and he didn't care about Liu Zhang's reprimand at the moment, he pointed at Fang Shao and said: "What Liu Jingzhou's envoy, according to the old minister's opinion, is clearly a jackal with a sinister heart." ”

"Presumptuous!" Liu Zhang was furious, and shouted: "Okay, you are tired, you dare to speak disrespectfully to my guests, do you still have me, the pastor of a state, in your eyes!" ”

Wang Lei is a firm refusal of the Liu faction, the previous Fa Zheng envoy had been advised several times or three times, Liu Zhang was afraid that he would cause a joke at today's meeting, so he did not notify him to participate, but he didn't want this old guy to come uninvited, and he insulted the envoys in front of him, Liu Zhang's face was all lost to him, even if he was weak in his surname, he couldn't help but lose his temper.

Wang Ti saw that Liu Zhang was furious, and his excited emotions calmed down a little, and only then did he realize that his actions were inappropriate, but he didn't want to admit it to his face, so he said sullenly: "The old minister is just dedicated to thinking about the lord, and thinking for the millions of people in Yizhou. ”

Fang Shao, who was on the side, quietly enjoyed the performance, and said in his heart: "If this king is tired, he is indeed a loyal minister, but even if he is a loyal minister, how can he dare to despise Liu Zhang's authority so much." Well, most of the time Liu Zhang, this kid is weak and incompetent, and he can't control his subordinates, even if he is a loyal minister, he dares not to take him seriously. ”

Here Wang Ti prides himself on being loyal, although Liu Zhang is angry, but he doesn't know what to do for a while, and among the accompanying civil and military officers, one of them quickly stood up and persuaded: "The lord is angry, and Wang Zhi is also a sincere heart." Wang Zhi, you are really, what can you say well, why make the lord angry. ”

The man said and pulled Wang Lei to the side, Fa Zheng had introduced this person before, if Fang Shao remembered correctly, the person who helped Wang Lei speak was Huang Quan.

Although the name is a bit obscure, Fang Shao knows that this person is a famous man in Shu and quite talented, but now he is also an activist who rejects the Liu faction, at least for now, this person is a potential enemy that Fang Shao has to deal with.

Seeing that this Wang Ti had insulted Liu Bei in front of everyone in Shu, and Liu Zhang seemed to have a little intention of not wanting to pursue it, Fang Shao couldn't sit still now, he had to take action to suppress the arrogance of this gang of rejection of the Liu faction.

So, Fang Shao immediately got up and sighed: "The lord of my family is thinking of the friendship of the same clan, and he plans to come thousands of miles to fight against Zhang Lu for Liu Yizhou. It's just that there seem to be many people under Liu Yizhou's command who are hostile to my lord, so if there is suspicion between the two families, how can they work together to resist foreign enemies. Shao is not a persona grata, and no matter how brazen he is, he can only bring humiliation on himself, so it seems that it is better for me to say goodbye. ”

After Fang Shao expressed some regret and grievances, he wanted to leave, he wanted to retreat as advance.

Sure enough, when Liu Zhang saw that Fang Shao was leaving, he immediately became anxious, and he didn't care about his identity, so he caught up with him in three steps and two steps, grabbed him, and said apologetically: "Fang is engaged in staying, Liu Jingzhou's friendship with the same clan, I Liu Zhang is convinced." It was I who had no way to discipline him, so that Fang Zhi was disturbed and offended, and I hope to forgive me. ”

Liu Zhang's kind words lingered on Fang Shao, and then turned to Wang Lei, his face suddenly became extremely annoyed, and he shouted: "Come on, coax this Wang Ti who has no king's law out for me!" ”

When the guards heard the order, they forcibly erected Wang Ti and dragged him out of the hall.

That Wang Ti has always relied on the old and betrayed the old, and he thought that Liu Zhang would reprimand him a few words at most, but how could he have coaxed him out so embarrassed in front of so many people. Wang Lei was shocked and angry, his body was dragged out, but his mouth was still shouting: "Lord-lord-lord-you have to believe in the old minister--you can't let Liu Bei enter Sichuan-can't-"

Seeing that Wang was tired and humiliated, Huang Quan hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, Wang Zhen is two generations of old ministers, and he has always been brave and loyal, he is right, Liu Xuande is a generation of heroes, and leading him into Shu will be endless." ”

Liu Zhang was about to show his sincerity in front of Fang Shao, Wang Lei was just killing the chicken for the monkeys, but he didn't expect Huang Quan, the monkey, to know each other, and dared to continue to count Liu Bei's bad in front of other people's envoys, Liu Zhang only felt that he had been slapped in the face again, and became more and more angry, and shouted: "Come on, coax Huang Quan out too." Whoever dares to speak ill of my brother of the same clan again, the two of them will be doomed! ”

The guards came to drag Huang Quan again, and Liu Zhang's warning made the people present dissatisfied, but no one dared to intercede for Huang Quan.

At this time, Fang Shao had already fought for his son, so it was better not to offend people too much, so he said: "Please calm your anger, so that your sincerity is fully known." Although this Huang master is wrong to blame my lord, he is ultimately for the sake of the envoy, and he is really a loyal minister, so I hope the envoy will save him some face. ”

Since Fang Shao pleaded, Liu Zhang's heart was relieved, and he could say anything as soon as his anger disappeared, so he waved his hand and said: "For Fang Shao's sake, I will spare you this time, okay, put him down." ”

Huang Quan was spared the humiliation of being dragged out in public, and he was also relieved in his heart, and he didn't dare to talk any more nonsense, so he had to whisper "Thank you", and sat back in place with his head bowed sullenly.

Fang Shao was originally mentally prepared for a war of insulting guns with the Yizhou scholars present, but he didn't expect that Wang Lei would make such a fuss, and the anti-Liu faction present was shocked, but they didn't dare to squeak.

So, after experiencing a small turmoil, the meeting between Fang Shao and Liu Zhang was unexpectedly successful.

In the next few days, Fang Shao was treated not inferior to Fazheng, the same was a small banquet in three days, a big banquet in five days, and Liu Zhang, a money beauty, gave him a lot.

What Fang Shao did was to brag in front of Liu Zhang how powerful Liu Bei was, and even did not hesitate to erase Zhou Yu's exploits, and transferred all the credit for the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Jiangling to Liu Bei's head.

On the other hand, Fang Shao made it clear that although Liu Bei is strong, he has no ambitions, and he just wants to guard half of Jingzhou for a small time.

At the same time, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Meng Da and others also tried their best to accompany each other, constantly saying good things about Liu Bei, saying what a clever strategy it was to invite Liu Bei into Sichuan to fight Zhang Lu, and in the future, Jingzhou and Yizhou would form a good alliance, support each other, and ensure that it would not be a problem to win three points of the world.

Therefore, under the internal and external efforts of Fang Shao, Zhang Song and others, Liu Zhang completely strengthened his heart to invite Liu Bei into Sichuan, and for those who dared to raise objections, they were either demoted or assigned to serve in other places.

Ten days later, the two sides officially finalized the time and route of Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan, as well as what kind of military supplies Liu Zhang needed to provide along the way.

Then there was a grand farewell banquet, after the banquet, Zhang Song and Meng Da came to Fang Shao's post house with Fa Zheng on the grounds of farewell, and had a secret meeting with Fang Shao before leaving.

The door was closed, and the guards outside were all with him, Fang Shao smiled with the other two: "I have heard the two big names for a long time, but I haven't been able to sneak up on a few thoughtful words, now it's okay, I finally don't have to worry about my ears and eyes." ”

That Zhang Song said with a smile: "When I was in Xudu, I heard that during the Battle of Chibi, there was a young strategist under Liu Yuanjun who repeatedly made strange plans. ”

Na Meng Da also said: "I have heard that Liu Yuanjun has a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and the last time I saw Fang engaged in the method of playing tricks on Wang Ti Huangquan, it is really worthy of its reputation." ”

Fang Shao waved his hand and laughed at himself: "Don't make fun of me, the two of you are just a small trick, and I can't get on the stage, the three of you help Liu Yuanjun to get Yizhou, this is great wisdom." ”

Fa Zheng smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone is their own people, so there is no need to wear high hats to each other, Fang Zhen will return to Jingzhou tomorrow, let's hurry up and discuss, after Liu Yuanjun leads the troops into Shu, how to take Yizhou from inside and outside." ”

That Meng Da waved his hand and said: "What's so difficult about this, when Liu envoys Jun into Sichuan, Liu Zhang will inevitably go to greet him in person, and take advantage of Liu Zhang's defenselessness to capture him in one fell swoop, then Yizhou can be passed on to decide." ”

Both men agreed.

Fang Shao pondered for a long time, but his face was embarrassed: "The plan of the three is a good plan, but I'm afraid that my lord may not agree." ”

The three of them were stunned, and Fa Zheng was puzzled: "This plan is a shortcut to Yizhou, with Liu Yuanjun's knowledge, he shouldn't be unable to see the wonders." ”

Fang Shao sighed: "It's not that he can't see it, it's that he can't let go of the big hat of 'benevolence and righteousness' on his head." The biggest problem in this time is not how to take Shu, but how to persuade the lord to stop following the old path of Xuzhou and Jingzhou. ”

Over the years, Liu Bei has been accustomed to being a thug for others, Tao Qian as a thug in Xuzhou, and Liu Biao as a thug in Jingzhou.

If he came to Yizhou and planned to start as a thug, with Comrade Liu Zhang's spring and autumn flourishing, I am afraid that he would not be able to wait for that day to take the first step.

The expressions of the three people also became solemn, and Zhang Song said: "The great rivers and mountains are in front of me, I don't believe that Liu Yuanjun will not be tempted, but he wants to take that detour?" ”

Fa Zheng didn't wait for Fang Shao to explain at this time, but said: "Ziqiao, you still don't know much about Liu Yuanjun, this time I went to Jingzhou and saw Liu Yuanjun's benevolence and righteousness with my own eyes, but I'm afraid that if it is really as Fang Cheng said, he may not be able to choose this quick strategy to win Yizhou." ”

At this time, Fang Shao said categorically: "Jingzhou is already tired, and Yizhou must not be destroyed by war again, this Yizhou must be completely handed over to the lord, so that he can use the land of the two states to compete with Cao Ying for the capital of the entire Central Plains." Therefore, no matter what, we have to find ways to keep the lord from taking a detour. ”

Fa Zheng patted the case and said: "Yes, Fang Zhi's words are reasonable, and even if he is forced at that time, he will have to force Liu Yuanjun to do this." ”

That night, the four of them had a secret meeting and set a strategy for taking Yizhou, and the next time Fang Shao resigned with Liu Zhang, and led 2,000 soldiers and horses to Jingzhou with Fa Zheng and Meng Da, and welcomed Liu Bei to lead the army into Shu.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the light boat trail went down the river to Jingzhou, and arrived at Jiangling in less than ten days.

After seeing Liu Bei, Fang Shao told all the things about entering Sichuan, after Liu Bei heard about it, he was happy and worried, happy that Liu Zhang's determination was unstoppable, and the worry was that except for Fa Zheng and others, it seemed that most of the scholars in Shu were opposed.

Liu Bei couldn't help but worry: "I can get Jingzhou, thanks to the Jingxiang scholars, this time, if I don't get the support of the local scholars, I'm afraid that even if I win it, it will be difficult to maintain it." ”

Fang Shao was relieved: "Don't worry, my lord, Shao's trip to Chengdu is not in vain, the forces of all parties in Yizhou have inquired clearly, even if it is these opposing scholars, it is not a monolith." ”

Therefore, Fang Shao analyzed the forces of all parties in Yizhou in detail.

In the early years, after Liu Yan entered Shu, he relied on his old subordinates and foreign scholars, and took revenge on the Yizhou scholars who supported him, and took severe restrictive measures. On the one hand, he connived at outsiders to commit crimes and lawlessness in Yizhou, and on the other hand, it was difficult to control the unlimited development of Yizhou scholars, and finally the contradiction between the two forces intensified, and a rebellion broke out that affected the entire Yizhou.

Although the rebellion of the Yizhou scholars was suppressed, the foreign scholars were also dealt a heavy blow, and the whole Yizhou entered a relatively balanced and stable period. However, due to Liu Zhang's weakness, whether it is Yizhou scholars or foreign scholars, they are still fighting for power and profit openly and secretly, and the contradictions between the two sides continue to deepen, and it is only a matter of time before there is another conflict.

For example, Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Zhang Ren and other Yizhou scholars were naturally wary of foreign forces, and of course they did not want to let another foreign force enter, thus causing new chaos in Shuzhong.

And Fa Zheng, Meng Da and other foreign scholars, after all, their roots do not belong to Yizhou, always thinking that one day they can return to their hometown, and due to the development of Yizhou scholars, the interests of these foreign scholars are naturally constantly encroached, because they are eager to introduce Liu Bei, a new foreign force, to restore their power and status.

As for Zhang Song and a small number of Yizhou scholars, they were dissatisfied with Gou An's struggle for power and profit in Yizhou, and tried to make Yizhou scholars obtain more benefits through expansion, so the cowardly and incompetent Liu Zhang was of course unable to meet their requirements, so in the case of not being able to get Cao Ying's attention, Liu Bei, who had the ambition to fight for the world, naturally became the best object for them to take refuge.

After listening to Fang Shao's analysis, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said, "Zhongzheng's investigation is very detailed, which is mostly consistent with what Liang and the others inferred before. In fact, the Yizhou scholars and the outsiders are only trying to ensure their own interests, after the lord gets Shu, he only needs to correct Liu Zhang's negligence, reward and punishment are unknown, then the two scholars will naturally be attached to it, and the lord does not need to worry about this section. ”

Liu Bei felt a little relieved here, but Pang Tong waved his hand over there and sneered: "These are all afterthoughts, there is no need to think about it so early, you will only miss the opportunity if you think about it before and after." Lord, what you are thinking about now should not be how to appease those Shu sergeants, but how many people and horses to bring into Shu and how many people to leave to guard Jingzhou, this is the most realistic problem. ”

Pang Tong's words were very pragmatic, Liu Bei put aside his worries, and said decisively: "What Shi Yuan said is extremely true, wouldn't it be troublesome to worry about what to do so much before Shu Land was taken." As for entering Shu and staying in Jingzhou, the stakes are very high, so it is better to wait for Yunchang and Yide, as well as Yuan Zhi and others to return to Jiangling and discuss together. ”

On the same day, several core figures did understand the policy of entering Shu, and only waited for Guan Yu and others to return to determine the plan for attacking and defending before they could send troops westward.

The day's deliberations lasted for a long time, and Fang Shao returned home after having dinner in the governor's mansion, and it was late at night.

Fang Shaoyuan thought that Zhuge Rong didn't know that he had come back, and most of them had already been disposed of at this time, so he was afraid of disturbing her, so he thought about going to the wing room for a night tonight, but he didn't expect that as soon as the others entered the door, Zhuge Rong, who was pacing in the courtyard, was greeted by surprise.

"Husband, you're back, have you worked hard all the way, how do you seem to have lost weight, isn't it that Shuzhong is not accustomed to the water and soil, and eating and drinking are not smooth......"

Zhuge Rong checked him up and down, and her words and deeds revealed his wife's deep concern for her husband.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, he hasn't seen him for more than half a month, and when he sees each other again, Fang Shao only feels that his wife is becoming more and more moving, and listening to her caring words, he unconsciously swells up with a strong warmth in his heart, so he took his wife's hand with one hand, caressed her face with the other, and said with a smile: "I am a distinguished guest in Shuzhong, I eat and drink well, how can I lose weight." But madam, you seem to be a little thinner than when you were at other times, is it because you miss your husband and me all night, so you have become haggard? ”

Since marrying Zhuge Rong, Fang Shao has become much more relaxed when talking to her, and he will unconsciously expose the openness of modern people.

Although Zhuge Rong felt that his ** words were too debauched sometimes, after all, they were husband and wife, and they were accustomed to it after listening to it a lot, and they still liked it tightly in their hearts.

At this time, listening to him be so straightforward in front of the servants, my heart was so sweet, but I pinched his arm and said with a smile: "I am still so presumptuous in front of others, and I am not afraid of people's jokes." ”

"I love my wife, what's so funny." Fang Shao smiled evilly, lowered his head, and kissed her on the face.

When the slaves and maids next to them saw it, they all bowed their heads and snickered.

"Don't be ashamed, hurry back to the house, see if I can't treat you well." Zhuge Rong's face turned crimson for a while, and she pulled Fang Shao to the house.

Fang Shao stretched out his hand, wrapped Zhuge Rong's slender waist hard, and said with a smile: "Okay, madam, after saying goodbye for so much, you want to see if your martial arts have improved, let's go to bed and fight for three hundred rounds." ”

"Phew! Who's going to sleep with you......"

"Haha-"
