Chapter 24: False Evidence

Among the scholars in Chengdu who want to change their courts, Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao are the leaders of the Bashu aborigines, while Fa Zheng and Fa Xiaozhi are the main representatives of the middle and lower class Dongzhou scholars.

In fact, the time for Fa Zheng to enter Shu from Sanfu was not long, and in the early years of Jian'an, Cao Cao Dong welcomed the emperor to Xu, Li Dao and Guo Yan were even more unscrupulous in Guanzhong, plus Han Sui and Ma Chao led the Qiang soldiers to fight for the city and land, Fa Zheng really couldn't survive, so he had to move into Yizhou with his friend Meng Da in the same county. He originally heard that Dongzhou Shi was very popular in Yizhou, but who knew that after he came, it would be completely different.

The Dongzhou scholars who can eat and drink spicy food are basically the old people who followed Liu Yan into Shu, and all the scholars who may threaten the status of them and their children, whether they are the natives of Bashu or the newcomers from Dongzhou, are all suppressed. Fa Zheng was curious, and tried to get close to Liu Zhang at first, wanting to instigate and help Liu Zhang get out of his puppet status, but with great effort, Liu Zhang gave him a position as a county commander in the new capital, and he was promoted to military lieutenant not long ago. Fa Zheng felt that there was no future with Liu Zhang, and often sighed privately, if he could stay up in his hometown for a few more months, maybe he would come out - in the second year of Jian'an, it was Xunzhen Fuguanzhong, breaking Li Dao and Guo Yan, if he heard the name of Fa Xiaozhi, he would definitely visit and recruit in person, then he would be the No. 1 military strategist under Liu Bei in the future!

Fa Zheng's complaint could not reach Liu Zhang's ears, but it reached Zhang Song's ears, and Zhang Ziqiao, who was planning to take advantage of the chaos to win a place for the Bashu natives, immediately went to visit. So this time Liu Bei captured Nan'an and approached Chengdu. Zhang Songzhong discussed in advance, and suggested that Fa Zheng be the envoy and go to see Liu Bei, as the representative of the Bashu people. General Liu has seen it, so Fa Xiaozhi, as a representative of the middle and lower ranks of Dongzhou scholars, should also let General Liu meet him, so as to calm his heart.

Although Liu Bei's status and fame were greatly reduced compared to the original time when he entered Shu in history, he was no longer an ordinary 2,000 stone at this time, on the one hand, he was given the title of "Captive General" by Liu Biao. On the other hand, the imperial court also explicitly worshiped him as the assassin of Yuanzhou - this is what Xun was worried about at the beginning, and the imperial court deliberately brushed a halo on Liu Bei in order to deal with Liu Biao - the name is not much lower than Liu Zhang. And above all the Yizhou ministers. Therefore, after Zhang Song talked with Liu Bei, he started to dedicate the entire Yizhou to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei took over Liu Zhang as the pastor, and went back to talk to Fazheng, Meng Da and others. Both of them also believed in Zhang Song's vision. An offensive and defensive alliance was formed.

Therefore, Fa Zheng came over to look at Liu Bei for a while, took the initiative to kneel down and kowtow, calling him "lord", and sold himself to take refuge without psychological pressure.

However, what Fazheng has brought is not good news. When the news of Liu Bei's seizure of Nan'an reached Chengdu, Liu Zhang immediately summoned his ministers to discuss, he was originally a weak person, and the superior Dongzhou scholar in power had been pampered and unscrupulous for many years. They are all only concerned about the present, not the future. Unexpectedly, Jianyì negotiated peace with Zhao Wei and transferred all the heavy troops to the southern front to deal with Liu Bei.

In their opinion, Zhao Wei is about to be crippled, he was originally guarding Ba County, which is like a semi-divided territory, so after talking about peace, he will continue to guard Ba County and resist Liu Biao, which is no different from the original. Liu Bei is different, he is a complete outsider, and he is about to swallow the entire Qianwei County, and he is approaching Chengdu, so it is better to concentrate all his strength and destroy Liu Bei first.

Besides, if he really talks about peace with Zhao Wei, then the Jingzhou soldiers under Liu Bei's command will also be unknown, maybe they will retreat?

Zhang Song stood up in time to pour cold water on them, saying that although Zhao Wei was defeated at the front, he still had a stable rear in Ba County, and if we transferred the main force to the southern front, he suddenly tore up the peace talks, echoed Liu Bei, and continued to march into the army, but what should we do? For today's plan, it is better to continue to force Zhao Wei, and get married and restrain Liu Bei. He said that since the lord refused to hand over the post of Shu County Taishou to Liu Bei, it was better to allow him to be the Taishou first - Zhang Song didn't expect Zhao Wei to lose so quickly and so miserably, he thought that with Liu Bei's current strength, even if he had his own internal response, he would not be able to enter Chengdu and seize the power of the entire Yizhou, so it was better to let him recuperate in Qianwei County for a period of time and cultivate strength.

Zhang Song's brother Zhang Su also stood up and said that otherwise, transfer my Guanghan Taishou position to Liu Bei, and let Liu Bei stand in front of Zhao Wei.

The new savage came forward to refute it, saying what kind of nonsense are you two brothers talking about? Give Qianwei or Guanghan to Liu Bei? If he unites with Zhao Wei again, then who else can restrain him? I really want to use the land of a county to bind Liu Bei Yecheng, and let him go to the Yue Net.

Zhang Song said that you are not entrapping Liu Bei, you are in exile, it is strange if he can agree!

The two sides argued endlessly, and the quarrel made Liu Zhang's brain bigger, and finally he simply said that he would either give Qianwei to Liu Bei, but Qianwei County was too close to Chengdu to govern Wuyang, so he simply put Wuyang and the two counties of Niu and Zizhong in the east under the jurisdiction of Shu County, and let Liu Bei move the governance office to Nan'an. At the same time, troops were successively transferred back from the front to consolidate the defenses of Chengdu and Wuyang.

When Fa Zheng arrived, it was the news that informed Liu Bei. Pang Tong said that this is not nonsense? Qianwei has a total of eight counties, and three of them will be cut off, who can agree to this condition? Fa Zheng said: "I also expect that the lord will not ......allow it" Even if you don't have the strength to win Chengdu in one go, it is impossible to accept this condition, how many accounts does Qianwei have? If you want to dominate, instead of getting Qianwei five counties, it is better to go back to Jingzhou and ask Liu Bei to return Xinye County - "In this way, you should advance quickly, wait for Pang Xi and others to return in Deyang, take Wuyang ...... first"

Wuyang is the county of Qianwei, the city is high and thick, and the place is close to the Chengdu Plain, densely populated, is a good place to recruit soldiers and raise grain. Fa Zheng told Liu Bei that there were many people in Wuyang City, such as Shuzuo Feiguan and Wang Fu, who were all his close friends, and when the time came, the inside and outside should be together, and the hope of seizing the city was very great.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered the three armies to pack up, that is, to take Guan Yu as the vanguard, go up the river, and take Wuyang directly!

First press the Yizhou chaos, and then say that Xun waited anxiously in Xu Du for many days, and finally waited for Wu Zhen to be escorted into Beijing. Let's say that early that morning, Shi Xun put on his official uniform and was about to go to work in the prime minister's mansion, when the housekeeper Yu suddenly came to report that there was a woman outside the door who asked to see him. Is Xun Xin saying that what kind of woman came to look for herself early in the morning? - "Who?" ”

Yu He reported: "He claimed to be the wife of the magistrate of Guangyan County, Shuozhou......

Oops, it's Wu Zhen's wife! Yeshun immediately gave him a small foot, and said Why didn't you say it earlier, please come in quickly, and I'd better go and greet him.

Wu Zhen was married when he served as Yan Lingling, and his wife Dai was the prominent surname of a village in Zhongxi Township, and his father was once recognized by the former county magistrate as the history of Cao Peng. Wu Zhen was not very satisfied with this family business, although he was born in a single family, he always felt that he was only in his early twenties to become the county magistrate, and he held the thick legs of Shixun, and worked hard, it was not too late to marry a wife in his thirties when he became 2,000 stones, maybe he could say that he was the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. The old mother was in the hall and was anxious to hold her grandson, so she reluctantly agreed. However, after getting married, his wife Dai had a gentle and virtuous temperament, not only took care of the housework in an orderly manner, but also read poetry and books, and wrote a good handwriting, which finally made Wu Ji change his mind and love her - Wu Zhen once wrote a letter to Shixun and mentioned this matter.

At that moment, Shi Xun greeted the front of the mansion, and saw that Yu He was bringing in a young woman, who seemed to be less than twenty years old, dressed simply, but her chest and hips were not protruding, and her body looked very thin. The young woman was still holding a toddler in her arms, and when she saw the high-sounding Honor, she immediately fell to the ground and sobbed: "Please save the slave husband!" ”

Shi Xun hurriedly put his hands on her hands, asked her to get up, and asked casually: "What is the son of Ji Chong?" Dai replied that it was a single name with the word "Ying", and he was four years old. Yes Xun was taken aback, and said in his heart that this year is all about virtual years, and that is actually a three-year-old baby-ask Dai's family, did you come all the way from Guangyan County to Xudu with such a small cub? Dai nodded, saying that a few months ago, Wu Zhen took their mother and son to Guangyan together, and after only a few months, she was suddenly detained and escorted to Xudu, and she followed and took care of the child all the way. Now Wu Zhen has been escorted into the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she came to the Mansion for help.

Shi Xun couldn't help but feel respect, and asked Wu Zhen in detail about the arrest of Wu Zhen at the moment.

It turns out that the spy organization "School Affairs" in these years and months has a very simple structure, no more than the East and West Factories and Jinyi Guards in later generations, and there are people in various places, and the eyes and ears of the school affairs are indeed all over Cao Cao's jurisdiction, but most of them are just temporary workers responsible for listening and reconnaissance, and they have no power to arrest people. Fortunately, the school was initially set up in the army, so it had the right to mobilize troops stationed in various places to assist in the arrest of people. According to Dai, it is not clear what she did to Wu Zhen and what handle fell on the school, but when Wu Zhen was arrested, she said this:

"How can you get into a certain crime?!"

Shi Xun nodded secretly, so he asked Yu He to report to Cao Miao, and asked his wife to come out to receive Dai's mother and son, and find a side hospital to settle temporarily. Then he paced around the courtyard for a while, and finally ran to Guan Jing.

Guan Jing was talking to Zhuge Liang, and when he saw Shixun coming in, he smiled slightly: "I think Wu Jizhong has entered the capital." Shi Xun stretched out his hands at him: "Now, how to deal with it?" "What did Guan Jing say? Haven't we all discussed the countermeasures? The Lord did what he did. As he spoke, he stopped paying attention to Shi Xun, and turned his head to urge Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, you can fall quickly, Qing is dead, so I think about it for a long time, but it is useless after all." ”

Shi Xun sighed lightly and said Okay, then I will go and implement the original plan, if there are twists and turns, I will consult Mr. Guan again. So he returned to the study, wrote down a word sheet, and ordered him to send the fish to the prime minister's mansion. The approximate meaning of the dictionary is: I heard that Wu Zhen was detained for breaking the law, and Wu Zhen was recommended by me, so his sin is my sin, and he should sit together, so it is not appropriate to serve in the prime minister's mansion again, that is, to reflect on his sins in his own house.

As Guan Jinghe and Shixun expected, not long after this resignation was handed over, the sun had not yet reached its peak, and Cao Ang, the general of the facial features, came to visit in person. (To be continued......)
