Two days later, Fang Shao led his army to Jinyang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The rebellion in Jinyang was over, Ma Jian and Jiang Wei's troops took over Jinyang's defense, and Wu and Huang were stripped of their military power and placed under house arrest.

According to Fang Shao's instructions, except for the two "first criminals" who were temporarily placed under house arrest, the rest of the civil and military soldiers who participated in this turmoil all kept their places and were not to blame for the past.

Fang Shao's tolerance and generosity calmed the panicked hearts, and the turmoil in Jinyang City quickly calmed down.

After entering the city, Fang Shao went straight to the palace and wanted to meet the Son of Heaven first.

The guards in the palace have all been replaced by trusted troops, and the more than 4,000 soldiers who were loyal to Huang Wu at the beginning have not been punished, but they have been scattered and broken up among the armies one by one.

"The minister greets Your Majesty." Directly resisted, Fang Shao respectfully performed the courtesy of the monarch and ministers.

Liu Bei on the royal couch did not react, Fang Shao raised his head, but saw Liu Bei looking at him dementedly, as if he was looking at a stranger, and the corners of his mouth were still dripping with water.

A generation of heroes, but now they are so down, the lonely road of heroes, it is indeed the lonely road of heroes.

Fang Shao felt sorry in his heart, since Liu Bei did not respond, Fang Shao stood up by himself, and asked the maids on the left and right how Liu Bei became like this, only to know that after the separation in northern Hebei, Liu Bei's condition became more and more serious, and after returning to Jinyang, he often fell into such a state of dementia and delirium, but recently the symptoms of dementia seem to have improved, but Fang Shao came unfortunately, Liu Bei at this time has just entered a state of dementia from a conscious state.

The mystery in Fang Shao's heart was all solved, and he finally understood why Wu and Huang would take advantage of it, imagine if Liu Bei was sane, how could he be controlled by Wu and Huang with his heroism and wisdom.

At this time, Fang Shao's slightly hanging heart also completely fell, since Liu Bei gave those edicts in a state of dementia, what he did was not considered to be a bully.

Since Liu Bei was not sober, Fang Shao had no choice but to make his own opinion, so he ordered Wang Ping to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses from Jinyang south to recapture Hedong. At the same time, Fang Shao ordered the army of Yanmen Pass to be withdrawn, ordered Ma Chao's army to return to Youzhou, handed over to Pang Tong to lead on his behalf, and ordered Ma Chao to come to Jinyang to the front of the saint.

Ma Chao saw that the general trend had gone, and he didn't dare to use it again, but he was afraid, so he refused to withdraw the soldiers and horses under the pretext that Youzhou was unstable, and came to face the saint, while Pang Tong rushed south to Jinyang to meet Fang Shao.

To the south of Hedong, Cao Ying attacked Puban several times, and when he heard that Wang Ping's army was coming, he wisely chose to withdraw back to Hanoi from Hedong County and return to defend Yecheng, because Wang Ping recovered the lost territory without much effort.

Because after this turmoil, the front line was exhausted, Fang Shao and Pang discussed with Tongyi, and ordered the three armies to withdraw.

After discussion, the two left Wei Yan to lead an army of 30,000 to sit in Jinyang, and the governor of the state military, so that Wang Ping led an army of 20,000 to sit in northern Hebei, and supervised the military of Julu and other counties in northern Hebei. Because Ma Chao did not return the pretext of being stationed in Youzhou, Fang Panger could only escort Liu Bei and lead the remaining more than 90,000 troops back to Chang'an.

At the same time, Hongnong Zhang Fei's department, Hanzhong Liu Feng's department, and Guan Yu's Jingzhou army, hearing that the Son of Heaven was still in the capital, also withdrew their troops.

This was the end of the fighting on the Western Front.

As for the eastern front, because in the battle of Pengcheng, Lü Meng's troops were defeated by Cao Zhen, after the siege of Pengcheng was resolved, Cao Zhen led the army to Xiapi, Sun Quan was afraid of the Wei cavalry, so he had to retreat his troops and horses slightly, and went down to the village on the shore. Therefore, after being besieged for several months, Xiapi finally got in touch with the outside world again, and after receiving the aid of grain and grass, the crumbling situation in the city was eased.

After hearing that the Han army was retreating, Sun Quan realized that his side was about to become the main battlefield, and now the morale of the army was at the end of the crossbow, so Sun Quan had to choose to retreat to Huainan, and the danger of Xuzhou in Wei was solved.

The army was still in early summer, and after sending Liu Bei back to the palace, Pang Tong and Fang Shao gathered in Zhuge Liang's mansion.

"Sir, thanks to your careful thinking, you sent troops to occupy Pubanjin in advance, otherwise to seize this place for Cao Ying, then our army of more than 200,000 will starve to death in Hebei." As soon as Fang Shao opened his mouth, he praised Zhuge Liang first.

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and smiled: "I'm just a bystander." But I really didn't expect that the Cao thief would wake up suddenly, and he would make many strange plans, it seems that the Wei country is not exhausted, and it will take time to destroy Wei. ”

"Hey, in my opinion, the harvest of this Eastern Crusade is far more than the destruction of Wei." Pang Tong smiled weirdly.

The master and apprentice glanced at each other, and immediately understood what Pang Tong meant.

What Pang Tong refers to is naturally the death of Fa Zheng.

From Liu Bei's point of view, it is the core interest to destroy Wei and Wu, and to unify the world and restore the Han Dynasty. However, in Pang Tong's view, the interests of himself and the Jingzhou group are the highest interests, and assisting Liu Bei to seize the world is just a means to realize the interests of the former.

As soon as Fa Zheng died, the decline of the Guanlong clique had become a fait accompli, and the failure of Wu and Huang's final struggle was the best proof, and there was also one less important obstacle on the road to the expansion of the interests of the Jingzhou clique.

"I really didn't expect that Wu and Huang would do such a thing, and almost plunged the country into a state of no return." Fang Shao sighed.

Pang Tong snorted coldly: "If the Guan Long family had been suppressed earlier, it would not have caused the disaster it is today, in my opinion, these two people should be severely punished to deter those with bad intentions." ”

Pang Tong suggested adopting tough measures, however, Zhuge Liang had a different opinion, he laughed and said: "Shiyuan, you extinguish the fire, calm down and think about it, what the Great Han Kingdom needs most at the moment is stability, if you really punish those two people, it will only make the officials of Guanlong Yizhou even more uneasy." ”

Fang Shao also said: "Mr. is reasonable, as for how to deal with Wu and Huang, I think it is better to make a false position and reduce their actual power, so that they can no longer make waves." ”

"Hmph, you master and apprentice know how to be good people, and if there is such a change next time, you will know that you will regret it." Pang Tong complained, although his tone was dissatisfied, but he obviously acquiesced in the disposition of the two of them.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said with relief: "In the future, we will be more careful, but I believe that this will not happen again in the future." Now that Your Majesty's deadline is approaching, I think what we need to do most at present is to urge Your Majesty to appoint the King of Chu as the crown prince as soon as possible, and as long as the King of Chu ascends to the throne in the future, then we Jingzhou scholars will have peace of mind. ”

Zhuge Liang shifted the topic to the focus, Pang Tong's expression perked up, nodded and said: "Yes, according to Your Majesty's current situation, maybe one day you will not be there, if you don't set up the prince before this, I am afraid that there will be disasters in the future." ”

When several people were discussing, suddenly news came from the eyes of the palace, saying that the Son of Heaven suddenly sobered up for more than an hour and a half this morning, and within this time, he personally drew up an edict, the content of the edict was not only to give marriage to Liu Tai, the king of Chu, but also to marry the eldest daughter of the chariot general Zhang Fei.

Hearing the news, the three of them were slightly taken aback.

In the lobby, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and the three supreme wise men of the Great Han Kingdom were all pondering the intention of Liu Bei's marriage edict in their hearts.

Soon, these three wise minds got a unified answer: the emperor's move was naturally preparing for the establishment of Liu Tai, the king of Chu, as the crown prince.

As the second person in the military general group of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Fei's influence in the army is extremely heavy, and the Son of Heaven formed this family affair for Liu Tai, naturally thinking that after his death, Zhang Fei could assist the young emperor wholeheartedly as the national abbot.

"It seems that Your Majesty himself knows that he has not much time to say, and he plans to make the King of Chu the crown prince, and he is paving the way for the King of Chu to succeed to the throne." Pang Tong was the first to speak.

Zhuge Liang was also pleased: "General Yide has always been loyal, has lived in Jingxiang for a long time, and is also half of the Jingxiang scholars, and although he was born as a military general, but he has always respected our scholars, the most valuable thing is that although Yide is very prestigious in the army, but rarely participates in political affairs, His Majesty chose him to be the ruler of the country." ”

At this time, Fang Shao frowned slightly: "It is naturally beneficial for us to let the King of Chu marry General Yide, but I am afraid that one person may be very unhappy." ”

Who are those two people, Fang Shao just said a few words, of course, it is understandable.

Pang Tong's expression also sank, and he said with a worried face: "Zhongzheng is worried about this matter, but I am afraid that our general Guan Yunchang is the most unhappy one. ”

Over the years, Guan Yu has been working hard to marry Liu Bei, and he has hinted to Liu Bei many times that he wants to marry Guan Yinping to Liu Tai. Previously, Liu Bei politely pushed away this family affair on the grounds that Liu Tai was still young.

However, in Guan Yu's view, with his own status and his brotherly relationship with Liu Bei, the marriage of the two families is a sure thing.

However, now Liu Bei's decision is obviously out of Guan Yu's expectations.

Liu Bei's scruples also have their own hardships.

Zhang Fei is just a military general, while Guan Yu is different, he has been in Jingzhou for nearly ten years, not only has nearly 100,000 powerful Jingzhou legions, but also has a lot of experience in governance, and the place where he sits is the hometown of the Jingzhou faction, and the Jingzhou soldiers who are in the secret of the government and the opposition are more or less related to Guan Yu.

It can be said that Guan Yu is a veritable person under one person, above ten thousand people, and the power in his hands is far from being comparable to Zhuge Liang, Fang Shao, Pang Tong, or Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and others.

Since the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, there have been many examples of foreign relatives interfering in politics and the monarchy's power falling, and Liu Bei, who knows the harm, how can he not have any concerns.

Therefore, after weighing it again and again, he chose Zhang Fei, which is also a choice without a choice.
