447, into Shu
"Into Shu" Yuan Shang looked at Fa Zheng, his voice was as light as water.
Fa Zheng, who was dressed in white, flashed a trace of essence in his eyes, and his thoughts were tumbling in his heart, with his intelligence, he naturally understood why Yuan Shang would let him go to Yizhou.
Yizhou is Liu Zhang's territory, as a child of the Han family, Liu Zhang is also a member of the princes of the world, Liu Zhang occupies Yizhou fertile fields for thousands of miles, the soil is plastered, and there are both Jiange, Hanzhong, Kuimen, Three Gorges and other Xiongguan passes, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also because of the rear of Guanzhong, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is called 'Qin Long's elbow armpit, Wu Chu's throat', so it has long aroused the coveted of many careerists, and Yuan Shang is naturally one of them.
Although Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Liu Zhang did not inherit his father Liu Yan's decisiveness and ruthlessness, temperament is biased towards weakness and tolerance, lack of strategy, so in the past few years, all the counties in Yizhou are ready to move, first Liu Yan's old subordinate Zhao Wei united Yizhou's local clans to rebel, and then Zhang Lu seized Hanzhong, in general, although Liu Zhang inherited his father left Yizhou for him, the position is not stable, so this situation, it is not surprising to provoke Yuan Shang and other princes to covet.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the former has Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair as a guideline, so he has always been ambitious about Jingzhou and Yizhou, the latter Cao Cao, five years ago in the battle of Chang'an, can be described as a great loss of vitality, helplessly forced to live in a corner of Yanzhou, and the Hebei neighbors near Yanzhou have basically been controlled by Yuan Shang, if you don't want to be annexed, Jingshu is also a good place to stand, so just on the game of these three, it is not something that Liu Zhang can resist.
It's just that the current situation is a little weird, and the three families of Yuan Shang, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are all staring at the big fat meat of Shudi. Small movements are constant. But none of them sent troops against them. Including Jingzhou, which borders Yizhou and has a congenital advantage, also has no intention of making a move.
In this way, it made Liu Zhang, who only has the ability to defend success, breathe a sigh of relief, although Yizhou has Dongzhou soldiers with extremely good combat effectiveness, and it also has a stable pass, but it is naturally better not to use force without using force, otherwise let the local group of vampire wealthy families send troops, I am afraid that most of Liu Zhang's wealth accumulated in two generations will shrink. This is what Liu Zhang does not want to see.
And Yuan Shang's eyes on Shu are not a matter of one or two days, and it is no secret that he covets Yizhou, the country of abundance, when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, went out of Shu with the assistance of Han Xin, and then occupied a large area of Guanzhong, and then won the battle between Chu and Han.
It is precisely because of the importance of Yizhou that Yuan Shang not only asked Pang Tong to follow up on this matter in person, but also needed to train a few capable assistants for him, and the arrival of Fa Zheng was indeed very timely.
Pang Tong has a fan in his hand. The above record is a drawing of the Guigumen to the Yizhou landform pass, and Yuan Shang only occupied one place in the past. There is a considerable distance from Yizhou, and there are not enough troops and resources to use troops in Yizhou, but now it is different, and it has been developing for five years, and the caravans of Bingzhou have spread all over the foreign countries, with strong policy support, the country's famous businesses have basically taken root in Bingzhou, and this income alone is enough for the tiger and wolf army to not worry about the lack of food and grass in three years, not to mention, Yuan Shang also occupies Youzhou, and Goguryeo, Xianbei East of the city is gradually opened, and this is only the tax paid by the caravan, The people's taxes have not yet been included in it, even if Yuan Shang has ordered the adjustment of the most profitable poll tax in order to attract foreign population, but just the land tax, the tax on the land, the tax, the calculation of the tax, and the change of the tax are enough to make Yuan Shang's purse full.
And in the past five years, the financial problems that originally plagued Yuan Shang have gradually eased, and it is naturally not a big problem to support a battle, in the absence of grain and grass, the current problem facing Yuan Shang is how to capture Yizhou at the lowest cost, and before sitting in Yizhou, how to resist the attack of the Cao and Liu families, in this plan, every step is extremely important, and even cannot be lost, and although Fa Zheng has not yet entered Shu, however, as a great hero who welcomed Liu Bei into Shu in history, Yuan Shang is willing to gamble, he wants to know whether Fa Zheng can surprise him, the fan in Pang Tong's hand is a dead thing, although it is indispensable, but the artificial internal introduction is also very important, this is like being sick, not only needs to inject drugs with external force, but also needs to be supplemented by drugs, and Fa Zheng into Shu is just that very important pill.
"Would you like to go on a journey?"
The smile on the corner of Yuan Shang's mouth still did not disperse, Yuan Cheng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly felt a strangeness, raised his little head and looked at his father, but he couldn't find anything, Yuan Shang was still smiling, but the thoughts in his heart were not something that a child who was only five years old could guess.
Fa Zheng's face changed sharply, because of the arrival of Yuan Shang, in this life, he did not have the idea of entering Shu, the most unfortunate is to serve Yuan Shang from a small official, but I didn't expect to let him enter Shu, what is the situation in Shu, even if Fa Zheng has not been there in person, but he has roughly had some superficial understanding, Liu Zhang's weakness and tolerance, Zhang Lu's arrogance, the authoritarian power of the indigenous scholars in Shu, even if these are more rumors, but they are not groundless, the credibility is extremely high, in the face of Yizhou, which is more complex in composition, if Fa Zheng really enters Shu, Its own thoroughness will also be a problem.
This is a bit of a conflict with his idea of coming to seek Yuan Shang's reuse, if he really arrives in Yizhou, whether he can get everything Yuan Shang wants as scheduled, Fa Zheng is not sure at all, Yizhou is like a slightly familiar place to him, but in fact it is a very strange place.
A person, black and blind, no matter how talented he is, without a few years of hard work, he can't figure out the various contexts of Yizhou, and obviously, in a few years, Yuan Shang can't wait.
Although Fa Zheng has not yet entered the ranks, he also knows that Yuan Shang has been dormant for five years, and it is the time when he is ready to go, not to mention a few years, I am afraid that Yuan Shang will not be able to wait even a year.
The strength of Liu Bei, Cao Cao and even Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce is gradually increasing, when Yuan Shang is accumulating strength, the same is true of several other princes, and Yuan Shang, who has grown into the target of the public, even the slightest action is under the gaze of the opponent, so a suitable candidate for Shu is very important.
Yuan Shang's inquiry, tumbling in Fa Zheng's mind, under the gaze of Ju Yi, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Tian Feng and others, his face changed sharply, this matter is too big, Fa Zheng, who is known for his good judgment, is a little difficult to choose, whether to choose Sanfu in Youzhou, which is relatively comfortable in the environment, or the unpredictable Shudi, this is a matter that needs to be carefully weighed and deeply trade-offs, although Fa Zheng is young, he is not green, and he is a little hesitant, but it is normal.
And Yuan Shang also understands Fa Zheng's hesitation, so he gave Fa Zheng enough time to think, if Fa Zheng easily agreed, Yuan Shang had to hesitate for a moment, at the moment Fa Zheng failed to give him a decision immediately, but Yuan Shang was quite satisfied, at least, not a reckless person who does not go through the brain, in Yuan Shang's choice, the person who enters Shu must be able to speak well, and not lose wisdom and courage, and wisdom is the most core point, followed by courage, courage and strategy, The possibility of success will be infinitely magnified.
Tian Feng is also waiting for Fa Zheng's choice, Yuan Shang has recently chosen a candidate to enter Shu, and the appearance of Fa Zheng is exactly what Tian Feng did for this candidate, no matter what, Fa Zheng has a kind of vitality, which is gradually lost by their generation of strategists, deep into the enemy's den, and even beware of the hidden arrows of other princes, wisdom, courage and ability to resist pressure are indispensable, and Fa Zheng gives Tian Feng a feeling that is indeed very good, otherwise Tian Feng will not bring it to the General's Mansion, he naturally hopes that Fa Zheng can enter Shu, although there are some dangers, On the contrary, if you participate in Yuan Shang's plan to seize Shu, in the future, it will definitely not be lighter than the general who rushed to the front line.
And now, the key is how to choose from the view, everyone has everyone's thoughts, even Tian Feng is not sure that the forensic will make the choice to enter Shu as he wishes, everything, after all, is to view his final choice.
Yuan Shang's index finger tapped lightly on the ground, and several pairs of eyes were all looking at Fa Zheng, this young man who is not famous at all, under the gaze of several powerful generals and a separatist prince, his eyes gradually condensed with light, his body got up gently, bowed to the ground, and his voice was clear, surrounding everyone's ears.
