"With the old general Huang's expedition to the east, he naturally conquered everything, but the old general captured Hanzhong this time, and he had a lot of hard work, and he needed to recuperate, how could I bear to let him go on an expedition again."

As soon as Liu Bei's words came out, Fang Shao's conjecture was confirmed, so he observed Liu Bei quietly, but saw that his eyes quietly turned to a person, and he seemed to be still making some kind of hint.

Fang Shao looked for his gaze, and suddenly found that the person who fell on his gaze was Liu Feng.

Suddenly, Fang Shao suddenly became enlightened, it turned out that this was Liu Bei's true intention.

In the original history, Liu Feng was ordered by Liu Bei to take the three eastern counties with Meng Dahui, and many descendants have slandered, saying that Liu Bei's move is to send his righteous son to the frontier and clear the way for his own son, and even more, he also said that this is Zhuge Liang's conspiracy layout, in order to drive Liu Feng away from the center, and then design a frame.

Who knows, Liu Bei is planning to let his righteous son go to the three eastern counties, which is a strategic place comparable to Jingzhou in Hanzhong, which is actually a sign of trust.

But this can't be helped, Liu Bei is not like Cao Ying, from beginning to end there is a powerful group of Cao clan and Xiahou clan generals who can be entrusted with important tasks at any time, Liu Bei's side can really be intimately believed, nothing more than Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu and a few others, those who are really capable, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Feng's words, can barely be regarded as generals. Now Zhang Fei wants to control Brazil, and Guan Yu has already controlled Jingzhou, so it is understandable to train his son Liu Feng to sit in the strategic place of the three eastern counties.

Obviously, Liu Feng, who was about to make a move and was anxious to make contributions, also understood his father's hint, and immediately went out and said: "Although the old general is brave, after all, he is old, and after a long battle, he should recuperate." On behalf of the old general, he vowed to include the three eastern counties in the territory. ”

Liu Feng volunteered, Liu Bei suddenly showed joy, but Pang Tong over there was unhappy, he recommended Huang Zhong in advance, that is because Huang Zhong is not only a general, but also belongs to the Jingzhou Group, Pang Tong naturally wants to include the territory of the three eastern counties into the Jingxiang Group's sphere of influence, Liu Feng came out to fight, of course Pang Tong was not happy.

"The three eastern counties are just the remnants of Zhang Lu, and if General Huang goes here, it is estimated that it will not take much effort to destroy them. Now the lord has Hanzhong, just based on this, the troops will go out of Qinchuan, and then they will have to rely on the bravery of the young general, and there will be more tough battles to be fought. ”

Pang Tong's mouth was not covered, a few words both praised Liu Feng and euphemistically denied Liu Feng, Liu Bei's face immediately changed, but Liu Feng seemed to fail to see through Pang Tong's intentions, and after listening to a few words of praise, he seemed a little proud, and did not strongly seek war.

At that time, it was probably because of Pang Tong's death and Zhuge Liang was in Chengdu, so Liu Bei, who was far away in Hanzhong, made such a seemingly temporary military action, and there was no one in the Jingxiang group who was strong enough to raise objections.

And now that Pang Tong has survived, as the No. 2 figure in the Jingxiang Group, he is now "reasonable, well-founded" in his opinion, Liu Bei naturally can't help but take it seriously, arbitrarily and arbitrarily.

Huang Zhong has lived for such a long time, and his comprehension ability is naturally no worse than Liu Feng, and he immediately said: "Although Zhong has eight out of sixty, he is not as strong as that young man, and he is not as good as that young man. ”

"The old general's heart for the public, I naturally know very well, but in January of the Battle of Hanzhong, the old general did not quit the saddle horse, the battle of Dingjun Mountain, and even personally went into battle to kill Zhang Wei. Moreover, in the future, the army will go on a northern expedition to Guanzhong, and it will be more necessary for experienced people like the old general to be the vanguard of the war. ”

Liu Bei turned over and over, still talking about Huang Zhong's age, and his heart was vividly expressed, and Pang Tongyi didn't know what to say.

At this time, Fa Zheng, who had been silent, coughed lightly a few times, as if he was about to speak.

Liu Bei said: "I don't know who Xiaozhi thinks is more suitable to lead the army to the east?" ”

Fa Zheng smiled faintly and said, "I just think that neither General Huang nor Major General is the most suitable candidate." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Liu Bei said: "Then according to filial piety, who is the right person?" ”

Fa Zheng got up, pointed to the map and said: "My lord, please see, attacking Xicheng from the east of the Han Dynasty is dangerous, and its difficulty is no less than our previous attack on Yangping Pass. ”

"Another shortcut?" Liu Bei couldn't help but look suspicious.

"Yes, it's a shortcut. The lord looked this way again. Fa Zheng moved his finger down from the three eastern counties for three points, "From Zigui to the north, although it is also a mountain road, it is much easier to walk. Now Yidu is too guarded by Mencius, and there are no less than 5,000 elite soldiers under his command, if you go north from Zigui, you can easily break through Fangling County unexpectedly, and Shangyong and Fangling are both small and outnumbered, and naturally they can go down together, when the time comes, Xicheng County will be equivalent to being locked between Hanzhong and Shangyong, and Zhang Lu will only have one way to surrender. In this way, it can easily determine the three counties without spending too much effort, isn't it the best of both worlds. ”

As soon as Fa Zheng said this, Fang Shao was extremely surprised, not because Fa Zheng recommended Meng Da to attack the three eastern counties, but because Fa Zheng laid out a far-reaching plan, and Liu Bei had laid this chess piece before he entered Shu.

Thinking that Fa Zheng and Meng Da were equally famous, and welcomed Liu Bei into Shu together, Fa Zheng helped Liu Bei take Yizhou, which can be described as infinitely beautiful, but Meng Da only had a Yidu Taishou, sitting in Jiangcheng for several years, not even a central official, and even under the jurisdiction of Guan Yu.

Although Meng Da later participated in the battle of Jingzhou last year, after the end of the war, under the insistence of Fa Zheng, he still stayed in Yidu Taishou. Fang Shao was still strange at that time, could it be that Meng Da and Fa Zheng had a gap, and Fa Zheng wanted to suppress him vigorously.

At this time, Fang Shao realized that Fa Zheng had long coveted the strategic land of the three eastern counties, and originally planned to ask his cronies among the Guanlongshi people to act as a party leader.

"This kid is so fucking cunning."

Fang Shao couldn't help but scold Fa Zheng in his heart, of course, most of the scolding words contained a little admiration.

Over there, Liu Bei and Pang Tong were depressed, originally the two of them were fighting to get the people they valued out of the three eastern counties of the town, but when they were arguing with each other, they let Fa Zheng pick up a bargain, and Fa Zheng was reasonable, and the two of them didn't know how to respond for a while.

At this time, Fang Shao, who had been silent, spoke, he smiled faintly and said, "The strategy of filial piety does have a surprising effect. However, after all, the three eastern counties are dangerous in the mountains and high grounds, and if only Mencius uses a single army to attack, it will inevitably be a little inadequate, so Shao should still send another army to attack from Hanzhong to be safe. ”

Fang Shao's insertion made Liu Bei and Pang Tong seize the opportunity again, and the two of them immediately wanted to recommend the people they valued, but Fang Shao didn't wait for them to speak, and said first: "Shao thinks that General Huang has fought many times and should take a good rest, and the lord still needs to rely on the bravery of the major general to fight for Guan Long, so Shao thought about it again and again, and thought that it would be more appropriate to send Wen Chang to lead the army to the east." ”

Fang Shao didn't stand on anyone's side at a critical time, but pushed Wei Yan out.

First of all, this Wei Yan was born in Liu Bei's personal generals, although he is not as close as Liu Feng, but he is also a cronie. Secondly, Wei Yan lived in Jingzhou with Liu Bei for a long time, and had a close relationship with the Jingzhou group, so he was half of the Jingzhou family.

The third reason is the most important, because Fang Shao deeply remembers that in the past, it was because of the arrogance of Liu Feng's surname Ge and the discord with Meng Da that it led to a series of tragedies such as Meng Da's betrayal and the fall of the three eastern counties.

And Wei Yanzhi's ability is much higher than Liu Feng, he has been the Taishou of Hanzhong for a long time in history, and guarded the north gate of Shu Han Town, but now it is just a different place, let him go to guard the three eastern counties, I believe that with his ability, it is naturally not a problem.

Moreover, the three eastern counties are only afraid that they will have closer ties with Jingzhou in the future, and according to Fang Shao's observation, the relationship between Wei Yan and Guan Yu is far better than the relationship between Guan Yu and Liu Feng's uncle and nephew, so it can be regarded as eliminating a potential hidden danger.

Moreover, Wei Yan had a friendship with himself to envoy Dongwu back then, and the two of them were old, so after comprehensive consideration, Fang Shao launched Wei Yan in a timely manner, and at the same time, he also glanced at Wei Yan who was sitting down.

Wei Yan was worried about the battle of Hanzhong, and he didn't have much meritorious service, seeing Fang Shao's recommendation, he hurriedly said: "Yan Bucai, I am willing to attack the three counties for the Lord and take the head of Zhang Lu." ”

Fang Shao's recommendation neutralized the interests of all parties, and everyone had no objection after thinking about it again and again, so Liu Bei said: "Since Wen Chang has this confidence, then this time I will order you to lead 10,000 horses to the east, unify the troops of Mencius, and capture the three eastern counties in two ways." However, it must be remembered that Zhang Lu is quite popular in Hanzhong, and for this person, he should mainly surrender and attack. ”

Liu Bei's word "unification" is extremely critical, although Fa Zheng has the intention of letting Meng Da preside over the overall situation of the three eastern counties in the future, but Liu Bei has such a "unification" word, so Meng Da will be under the command of Wei Yan, in fact, it also shows that such a strategic place, Liu Bei still has to let his cronies control.

The war raged in the west, and the war in the east became increasingly fierce.

Cao Cao's army is in the big tent, Cao Ying is lying down and flipping through the book, Zhang Liao hurriedly entered, and said: "Prime Minister, the Wu army has broken through Jiangxinzhou, our army has been captured more than 1,000 people, and there are nearly thousands of people who have drowned, and the remnants of the army are retreating to the wet beard." ”

Cao Ying's expression was relaxed, his eyes did not leave the book in his hand, and he only said lightly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Wen Yuan does not need to panic, you can speed an army to meet it, remember, you must hold the wet beard, do not let Sun Quan enter the wet beard by boat, and take the opportunity to peep into the reality of our army." ”

When Zhang Liao had been ordered here, before he left, Cheng Yu hurried in again, his face was anxious and anxious, and after seeing Cao Ying, he only bowed roughly, and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, the big thing is not good, Liu Bei has captured Hanzhong." ”

Syllable!

The book in his hand fell to the ground.
