Chapter 552: Antecedents and Consequences
Compared with the tension in Chengdu, Wang Xu in the military camp outside the city is completely opposite, relaxed and comfortable.
Originally, I thought that it would be very difficult to take Shuzhong within a year, but I didn't expect that a noble person would descend from the sky, and a law would make the situation change dramatically.
At this time, he was still interested in enjoying the lake and mountains outside Chengdu.
However, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted his interest.
"Lord, I can count on finding you!" The person who came was the heroic Zhao Yun.
Wang Xu stopped to look back, smiled and asked, "Zilong?" Why are you so anxious to find me? ”
Zhao Yun's face was solemn, slightly melancholy, and he bowed and said, "Lord, Fa Zheng has sent a letter!" ”
"Fazheng?" Wang Xu glanced at Zhao Yun's face, felt that the situation was not very good, and asked urgently: "But what happened to him?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Yun nodded.
"Then don't you hurry up!" Wang Xu said with a little reproach, he had missed this mysterious Fazheng who he had never met before, but he had missed it for a long time.
Unexpectedly, after seeing Wang Xu's eager face, a smile suddenly bloomed on Zhao Yun's cold face. "Lord, news has come from Mianzhu and Luocheng, Fa Zheng persuaded the new Mianzhu County Cheng Fei Shianti, welcomed Wei Yan to attack Mianzhu, and the guard Yang Huai surrendered."
"At the same time, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Leng Bao raised their troops in Luocheng and surrendered, and the main force of our army has been stationed in Luocheng."
"Forehead......" Wang Xu didn't react for a while, and it took a long time before he suddenly woke up, and said with a smile: "Zilong, when will you learn to play tricks on me like this!" ”
"Huh!" Zhao Yun smiled and replied with a smile: "Since entering Shu, the lord seems to have been preoccupied. Now the tide is set. The last general made a joke with the Lord. ”
Smile and wave your hand. Wang Xu didn't want to pay attention to this anymore, and then said: "How long does it take for Fa Zheng to come to Chengdu?" ”
"The letter says it's coming tomorrow."
"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded, thinking that the pacification of Shuzhong was inevitable, his heart was infinitely happy, he took Zhao Yun's arm and strode back to the camp. "Let's go, I'll surprise Liu Zhang and them today, if you don't tell them about this. My heart is not happy! ”
The two returned to the camp together, and soon organized soldiers to go to the city of Chengdu, shouting the shape of Mianzhu and the city, and Chengdu was in turmoil.
The next day, the mysterious Fa Zheng finally came to the camp outside Chengdu with more than 100 people!
Wang Xu took the generals out of the camp to greet them in person and introduced them into the camp, and Fa Zheng didn't say much along the way, just smiled and walked forward.
It was not until he entered the account of the Lord that he was amazed by the people. He took a few steps back abruptly, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Brother Ziyang." Fa Zheng has come to repay the favor! ”
"Xiaozhi, you are ......"
Wang Xu suddenly faced this battle, and he was really a little at a loss, how could the original hero suddenly become a gratitude.
Fa Zheng raised his head, his face changed from his usual calmness, but he was infinitely excited, and said in a trembling voice: "The general can remember Xiao Ling'er on the bank of the Weishui River in Chencang!" ”
"Huh?" Wang Xu nodded immediately. "Remember, you asked Mengda to send me that hairpin, which was given to Xiao Ling'er to make entanglements, and I remember that we ran out of money and goods at that time, so we gave Yan Ming's blonde hairpin to her."
said, thought about it, and then smiled and continued: "Come to think of it, you should be Xiao Ling'er's husband!" ”
These words made Fa Zheng suddenly stunned, and then shook his head with a smile: "General, I am not Ling'er's husband, I am the original dog baby, Xiao Ling'er's brother!" ”
"Dog!" Wang Xu's eyes widened instantly. "You're a dog!"
"Hmm!" Fa Zheng flushed excitedly and nodded violently.
Wang Xu looked at Fa Zheng at this time in astonishment, and saw that his figure was tall, elegant and handsome, and he really had nothing to do with the muddy dog baby in his memory.
After a long time, I still couldn't believe it, and my head couldn't turn around. "Aren't you surnamed Gou?"
"General, let's not hide it, we have always been surnamed Fa!"
Fa Zheng no longer hid and pinched at this time, and slowly explained the truth of the matter.
"General, in fact, my father's name is Fa Yan, who served in the imperial court earlier, and later suffered persecution from eunuchs, but fortunately was secretly rescued by the ministers of the court, so his family fled and wandered for many years."
"That year, my father took my mother, as well as me and Ling'er to migrate to the place of residence, and when they passed through the territory of Chencang, they were robbed by bandits. After that, it was difficult to eat and lodging, begging along the way, but it was difficult to save the lives of a family of four, my parents did not eat for me and Ling'er, and when we were about to starve to death, we met the general by the Weishui River outside the city! ”
"Thanks to the general's skillful rejuvenation, taking care of our family of four for more than a day, saving my parents' lives, and giving us food and belongings, we are alive until now. It's just that at that time, my father saw that the general was extraordinary, and he knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he didn't reveal his real name, so he temporarily gave us a few nicknames, which led to Gouwa and Xiaoling'er. ”
Later, my father used the property given by the general, with his wisdom, to do a small business in Chencang, and settled there, until the Sili area became more and more chaotic, and then the family moved to this Shu land and lived here. I was successful in my studies, and I was eager to show my ambitions, so I found a small official to do it, but unfortunately I was a little disheartened when I saw that the lord of Shu was not a person who achieved great things. ”
"But during this period, I suddenly heard a strange thing from the visit of Shuzhong officials."
Speaking of this in one breath, Fa Zheng paused for a moment before he euphemistically continued: "A story of a golden cicada coming out of its shell!" ”
At this point, everyone in the hall was stunned, but no one answered, Wang Xu's incident of the golden cicada coming out of his shell and escaping from Luoyang Prison is now a tacit matter among the high-level officials of the princes of all parties.
Fa Zheng didn't explain much here, and quickly continued: "Because I heard that story, I suspect that Wang Xu, the lord of Jingzhou, is the eldest brother of Ziyang back then, and I always thought it was the same name earlier, and then I made a special trip to find the portrait of the lord of Jingzhou to check, and then I confirmed a few points, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I still can't be sure." ”
"However, thinking of this matter, I also made up my mind to help the general, and at first I wanted to resign and go to Jingzhou, but then I felt that this was not a good idea, the general has a lot of talents, and I just added a man in vain, so I had a later plan."
"First of all, in order to gain the trust of the high-level in Shuzhong, I tried my best to get the opportunity to conquer Hanzhong with the army, and then to attract attention by anticipating the battle situation, and successfully won the trust of Wu Lan and Lei Tong, and later designed to defeat ......"
Saying that, Fa Zheng suddenly stopped, and looked at Zhao Yun and Zhou Zhi apologetically, it was Zhao Yun and Zhou Zhi and others who were the main generals in the first battle in Hanzhong.
Neither of them was a stingy person, and immediately smiled, and Zhou Zhi waved his hand again and again and said: "You said yours, we were convinced of defeat that day, and in the long run, it was worth defeating!" ”
Wang Xuwan smiled and took over the conversation. "It's okay, filial piety, you just keep talking."
"Hmm!" After getting the approval of several people, Fa Zheng straightened out his thoughts and continued: "Although I defeated several generals at that time, I didn't cut off the back road of the Jingzhou army, I was afraid of causing too heavy losses, after all, I just wanted to gain the trust of the high-level in Yizhou, and at the same time, I also hoped to attract the generals and see them with my own eyes to determine whether it was the eldest brother Ziyang back then." ”
"It's a pity, I didn't expect Xu Junshi to come, and it was difficult to do anything for a while, so I maintained the balance of power until I retreated. Since then, I have waited for the trust of the high-level in Yizhou, and I have been looking for opportunities, waiting for the day when the general will cut down Shu. ”
"Sure enough, in the spring of this year, the general waved his army to attack Shu, and after I got the information, I chose to follow Deng Xian to this Jiangyang, because it is better to do it here. After first using words to make Deng Xian give up the rune and make the general quickly gain a foothold, I have been waiting in this Jiangyang, I believe that if you want to open a breakthrough, this Jiangyang will definitely be easier, and the general will inevitably come to supervise the battle in person. ”
"The general knew what happened next, and after confirming the general's appearance, I launched this series of plans. A few days ago, I went to the north to persuade Wu Yi and Wu Ban to surrender, and I expected that they would inevitably retreat to Luocheng, and as for Fei Shi, I asked another friend to persuade me on my behalf. ”
Hearing that Fa Zheng would tell a qiē eloquently, Wang Xu was also embarrassed, this huge plot showed Fa Zheng's wit and ability, and he liked it quite a lot. At the same time, some people also understand where the character of Fazheng who must repay grievances comes from, and he has been accustomed to seeing people's warmth and coldness since he was a child, so it is not surprising that he has such a character.
After a long time, Wang Xu sighed, stepped forward to help Fa Zheng up, and said with a warm smile: "Filial piety, if you are willing, you will be with me in the future, how about it!" ”
Fa Zheng was resolute, and said in a deep voice: "The general not only has a life-saving grace for my family, but also the master of the world, Fa Zheng will repay him with death, and this will not be unswerving in this life." ”
"Hahaha......" Wang Xu was in a good mood, laughed non-stop, and turned back to the people in the hall: "I have the law, like a dragon!" ”
The civil and military forces in the tent immediately joined in unison: "Congratulations to the lord for getting a good minister!" ”
Although the young Fa Zheng was still excited, he was also a little calmer, and Wang Xu personally took care of the law crown for him, and then he asked: "Now Xiao Ling'er and your parents are fine." ”
"Don't worry, the lord has already arranged it!"
"Hmm!" Nodding, Wang Xu instructed Dian Wei again: "Dian Wei, you will discuss with Xiaozhi later, and send someone to escort them to Xiangyang. ”
"Don't worry, lord!" Dian Wei answered in a deep voice.
"Thank you, my lord!" In front of Wang Xu, Fa Zheng seemed to be extremely excited because of his kindness and worship, and he completely lost that calmness.
The people in the tent also looked at each other with a smile, and they understood his feelings at the moment, after all, they had a deeper understanding of the charm of the figure above everyone, otherwise they would not have gathered here.
Wang Xu didn't think about it so much, and was about to let Fa Zheng sit down, but Fa Zheng suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said: "Lord, by the way, there is a friend who almost forgot to introduce to the lord, this time to persuade Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Fei Shi and others, thanks to his help!" ”
