Zhang Song was heartbroken, but instead of being grateful to Liu Zhang's approach, he secretly contacted Fa Zheng and Meng Da to discuss defecting to Liu Bei together. Fa Zheng has always been depressed, while Meng Da is a buddy is righteous, and it didn't take much time to speak, both of them readily agreed, forming a rebellious gang of three.

Fa Zheng was Liu Zhang's first strategist at that time, with insights and good strategies. However, many political opinions were not adopted by Liu Zhang, and he was often slandered by others. If you want to say that there is any unique insight, you only need to say one thing, that is, he strongly opposes Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan.

When he heard that people like Zhang Song could get courtesy from Liu Bei, Fa Zheng was moved, and felt that Liu Bei was eloquent and strategic, and he was a master who could be assisted. There is a sense of attachment, and of course, his heart has also changed his previous attitude towards Liu Bei.

In order not to arouse Liu Zhang's suspicion, Fa Zheng first said to Liu Zhangjian in righteous words: "Lord, Liu Bei is stationed in the army today, if he is on the pillow side, he must be guarded. ”

Liu Zhang waved his hand lazily and said: "Xuande and I are brothers of the same clan, and they show their hearts with colorful flags along the road, and Anken takes away my foundation?" ”

"I have to take precautions, I implore the lord to send someone to Liu Bei to check the military situation, and after investigating the truth and truth, I will go back and discuss again." Fa Zheng insisted.

"More than that!" Liu Zhang was very dissatisfied with Fa Zheng's words, but he also felt that he was loyal, so he agreed: "Even if you have doubts, it is better to send you there." ”

Liu Zhang personally wrote a sensational letter, asked Fa Zheng to take him to see Liu Bei, and told him to be polite when he went to Liu Bei, speak well, and don't sneer at each other, hurting the harmony, do you think anyone will be as tolerant as me?

Fa Zheng shook his head and sighed lightly when he heard it, such a person who does not distinguish between scorn is indeed not worth wasting time for him.

Fa Zheng turned around to see Liu Bei, and he had his own thoughts. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, although he heard Zhang Song say that Liu Bei is good, he still wants to investigate it in person, after all, it is about the fate of his life. So, for the sake of safety, Fa Zheng immediately set off and went to Jiameng Pass to meet Liu Bei.

With Pang Tong's Jianyi, don't care about Zhang Lu in the north, and directly wave his troops to fight Liu Zhang, he will definitely be able to hit Liu Zhang by surprise, and maybe he will be able to take Chengdu directly. Liu Bei did not adopt Pang Tong's idea, he got Zhang Song, but he thought of a strategy that should be combined with the inside and outside, and felt that this was safe enough.

Hearing that Fa Zheng was coming, Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him in person. A view of the height of one meter eight, dignified appearance, Liu Bei's heart is even more happy, stepped forward habitually arched his hand and said: "I have long admired filial piety and fame, and I met it today, it is really a blessing for three lives, and I am very pleased in my heart." ”

"The little officials in Shu, what a way!" Fa Zheng said modestly, but he also looked at Liu Bei carefully, his eyes seemed to contain stars, his face was like powder, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Liu Bei had the demeanor of an elder and the style of a king.

"Please also speak in the filial piety account."

Liu Bei stepped forward and affectionately supported Fa Zheng's arm, invited him into the tent, sat on a high place with him, and then ordered a banquet to be set up.

Fa Zheng took out Liu Zhang's letter and handed it to Liu Bei with both hands, Liu Bei opened it and saw that it was written: "Brother Liu Zhang, please write to Brother Xuande, Shu Road is difficult, and I am very frightened before I meet him." There is a way that good luck and evil help each other, and friends are still like this, not to mention the clan? Now Zhang Lu is in the north, there is a danger of the night, I hope that my brother will read the love of the same clan, the righteousness of the brothers, and the revival of the teacher to exterminate the madman, forever for the lips and teeth, and have their own heavy reward. ”

After Liu Bei read the letter, he cried at that time, wiped his tears and said: "Ji Yu is really a brother of benevolence and righteousness!" ”

Fa Zheng didn't speak, he didn't want to follow a cruel and ruthless master, seeing Liu Bei's appearance, anyway, he felt that Liu Bei was particular enough to do things.

Both of them were cautious, so Liu Bei didn't directly talk about Zhang Song's matter at the beginning, after all, he didn't understand the situation yet, in case Fa Zheng didn't come to take refuge in himself, but leaked Zhang Song, the gains outweighed the losses.

Therefore, during this meal, Liu Bei did not talk about Xichuan at all, but chatted with Fa Zheng about family life and made humble hospitality.

After the meal, Liu Bei took Fa Zheng to inspect the large army, due to the prior arrangement, Liu Bei's army was orderly, the soldiers were high-spirited, and they were completely organized, disciplined, and able to recruit and fight well.

Liu Bei didn't mention the matter of recruiting Fa Zheng, Fa Zheng is a person who wants to be faced, so he can't ask people if they want to be themselves for no reason?

The daytime passed quickly, and apart from a few compliments, the two men did not mention the main topic. Pang Tong was a little anxious, isn't it just a layer of pasted window paper, why is it so difficult to pierce it?

That night, Pang Tong, who couldn't sit still, came to Fazheng's big tent with his hands behind his back and asked bluntly: "Brother Xiaozhi, you came this time, but you came to take refuge in my lord?" ”

"I'm actually delivering a letter to the lord, what does the military advisor mean by that?" Fa Zheng asked in confusion.

"Don't pretend, take refuge today, and there will be a place to display your talents in the future. If you hesitate, you will end up in a bleak end. Pang Tong threatened.

"Master Pang, do you want to deceive me? If Zhang Lu comes to commit the crime, Shuzhong will raise troops, but I am afraid that Xuande Gong will also be a powder! Fa Zheng grimaced.

Pang Tong picked his nostrils indifferently, and said unashamedly: "This statement is very ridiculous, and no matter whether Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu have a common enmity, there is absolutely no possibility of joining forces, but with the fourth brother of my lord in Cao Cao, no one dares to touch my lord." ”

"You mean Wang Baoyu?" Fa Zheng asked in astonishment.

"You don't know, my lord has passed through the fourth brother Baoyu, reached an alliance with Cao Cao, and shared the world! Today I came to Xichuan, Cao Cao and Sun Quan confronted each other, in order to contain Sun Quan and protect Jingzhou's ears! Pang Tong continued to flicker, saying that the stars were flying wildly.

Fa Zheng was completely stunned, thinking about it carefully, Cao Cao's approach was indeed very strange, why did he have to get along with Sun Quan, wouldn't it be easier to win by attacking Zhang Lu, could it be that Wang Baoyu really played a role in it?

Now the intimacy of Wang Baoyu's relationship with Cao Cao is known to almost everyone in high society, and even after dinner. The two of them peed on the high platform together, and slept in a quilt, I heard that even Cao Cao's backyard, Wang Baoyu can go in and out at will without shying away, which is really a bit indistinguishable between you and me.

It's just that Wang Baoyu didn't know that he had been cleverly used by Pang Tong once. Fa Zheng thought about it, and felt more and more that Zhang Song's approach was right, Wang Baoyu followed Cao Cao, and he hadn't turned his face with Liu Bei, so it was hard to say that there was no ulterior secret.

If Cao Cao secretly unites with Liu Bei, whether it is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong or Liu Zhang in Xichuan, he will definitely be defeated.
