Chapter 196: Fa Zheng Returns
Compared with the follow-up of Jun Bashu, what Jingnan development is, it is a trivial matter.
Liu Bei warmly received Fa Zheng, and at the same time, under Fa Zheng's persuasion, agreed to enter Sichuan to help Liu Zhang.
Of course, this is a superficial process, but in reality. It's interesting.
Entering Sichuan This is an established strategy, not only Jiangdong wants to enter Sichuan, Liu Bei wants to enter Sichuan even more, so entering Sichuan is certain.
But it was not to take the opportunity of entering Sichuan this time to seek Yizhou, which Liu Bei was a little hesitant about.
After all, on the one hand, Liu Bei was worried that Yizhou was not so easy to capture, and on the other hand, he was also worried about the opposition of the locals in Yizhou.
In this regard, this guy Fa Zheng jumped back directly in front of Liu Bei.
Fa Zheng saw that Liu Bei was a little hesitant, so he immediately pulled Liu Bei to talk secretly, and then his first move was to show Zhang Song's private letter to Liu Bei.
Zhang Song praised Liu Bei in a private letter, and said that Bashu had suffered Liu Zhang for a long time, and he was very eager for Mingjun to enter Sichuan to redeem the people.
This is the statement of the Yizhou localists.
Immediately after, Fa Zheng expressed his expectations for Liu Bei on behalf of the Dongzhou faction, and at the same time told Liu Bei that once he entered Sichuan, Meng Da, a representative of the Dongzhou faction, would personally lead the army to support.
In the end, Fa Zheng said to Liu Bei, "With the talent of General Ming, take advantage of Liu Mu's cowardice." Zhang Song, the state of the humerus, in response to the inside; Then the wealth of Ziyizhou and the dangers of Feng Tianfu were successful, and they were still in charge. ”
Liu Bei was really surprised, surprised at how Liu Zhang had mixed up over the years.
Why are the people of the Yizhou faction and the Dongzhou faction all hoping that he will step down and get out?!
But no matter how Liu Zhang mixes, the conditions are so good now, if Liu Bei doesn't enter Sichuan, then he will be too sorry for himself, and he will be too sorry for Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" for himself.
Liu Bei immediately summoned his men to hold a military meeting to discuss the matter of entering Sichuan.
Zhang Xi, who was far away in Changsha to reclaim the swamp and was preparing to welcome the autumn harvest, naturally also received a notice to participate in the military conference, and immediately handed over the matter of reclamation to Pan Jun, and went to Jiangling with Kou Feng.
Kou Feng also received a notice that he was going to the military council.
At the same time, on the land of Jingnan, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others also received a notice and went to Jiangling one after another.
Liu Bei's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and now it takes several days to hold military discussions, unlike before, when he said that he would have a meeting in the morning, everyone would be together in the afternoon.
It took five or six days for Zhang Xi and Kou Feng to rush to Jiangling, first went to Zhuge Liang's mansion, and learned about Liu Bei's purpose for holding a military conference.
As soon as he heard that he was going to enter Sichuan, Zhang Xi immediately understood that what was supposed to come was coming after all.
No wonder I want to call Kou Feng too, after all, Kou Feng really became famous when he entered Sichuan.
Of course, there is also Wei Yan, the old boy, who also took a rocket after entering Sichuan, from a small part to a standalone Hanzhong Taishou.
Knowing what was going on, Zhang Xi settled down.
But Kou Feng is unsettled.
Although, being a town guard general in Changsha can be regarded as a one-man position.
However, unless Liu Bei Group turns his face with Sun Quan, in Changsha, there is really no way to make war achievements.
Kou Feng is still young, and he still wants to make contributions on the battlefield, but he doesn't want to retire in that place in Changsha. Therefore, he kept pleading and asked Zhang Xi to help him talk at the military meeting to see if he could let the lord take him into Sichuan.
Zhang Xi didn't agree to this second goods, dried him, and at the same time sharpened this kid's temperament.
Last time, this kid was still stunned, which is not good.
If everything really develops according to history, Kou Feng will also make great contributions in the process of entering Sichuan, and then be entrusted by Liu Bei with the important task of attacking the three counties of Shangyong during the Battle of Hanzhong, becoming a real party guard.
With this kid's current temper and style, when he reaches the top, he will inevitably have trouble again, so he has to take advantage of the time to polish it.
So, Kou Feng is anxious to let him be anxious, and it's not a bad thing to grind his temperament.
Zhang Xi and Kou Feng waited in Jiangling for two days, and finally waited for everyone to gather, and the military conference was officially convened.
At the military meeting, Liu Bei first briefly introduced the purpose of convening the military conference, and then everyone offered suggestions and discussed the specific matters of entering Sichuan.
There is no need to discuss whether to enter the Sichuan, what needs to be discussed is how to enter the Sichuan.
The first is the size of the army.
Since the banner is to help Liu Zhang in Sichuan, then there can't be too many soldiers and horses, too many will arouse Liu Zhang's vigilance.
But it can't be too little, otherwise you will rely on the soldiers who Liu Zhang supplies you, and you really have to fight, I don't know if there will be any changes.
So, Pang Tong's suggestion is not to exceed 10,000, but not less than 5,000, and it is best to pick elite soldiers into Sichuan.
Liu Bei adopted this.
After that, there are the generals who lead the troops.
It must not be a general like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who enters Sichuan, otherwise he can scare Liu Zhang half to death.
So it must be a capable, but not well-known general.
In this way, the generals in Liu Bei's army, counting back and forth, are just a few people.
Wei Yan and Kou Feng are definitely going to take them with them, after all, both of them can be independent, and they really don't have a good reputation, in terms of military positions, that is, school captains.
And Liu Bei also has to take care of the emotions of the Jingzhou faction, so the old general Huang Zhong, as the representative of the Jingzhou generals, will also follow into Sichuan, and among the newly voted Jingzhou generals, Huo Jun, Fu Kuang, and Zong Pre who are more capable are also selected by Liu Bei to enter Sichuan.
As for the decision-making level, Liu Bei himself must enter Sichuan, so the person who assists Liu Bei in Sichuan, Pang Tong as the mastermind, will definitely enter Sichuan, and the rest of Zhang Xi also has to go.
This Zhang Xi really didn't expect it.
Zhang Xi originally thought that there were still a lot of experimental fields to be obtained in Changsha, and he couldn't leave at all, so he probably didn't have his own share in the matter of entering Sichuan.
But this matter was proposed by Zhuge Liang and agreed by Liu Bei personally, so there was no need to discuss.
It's not that Liu Bei wants Zhang Xi to go, but Zhuge Liang is not at ease and insists on letting Zhang Xi follow.
Zhuge Liang is the big housekeeper of Liu Bei's group, and he wants to be optimistic about this one-third of an acre of land in Jingzhou for Liu Bei, just in case, so he can't follow Yizhou this time.
This time he entered Sichuan, under the banner of helping Liu Zhang, so the famous generals could not follow. In addition, Guan Yu wanted to guard Jiangling, Zhang Fei wanted to guard Yidu, and as soon as Kou Feng and Wei Yan left, Zhao Yun had to be the governor of the defense of the four counties of Jingnan, and he couldn't leave at all.
Therefore, this time Liu Bei entered Sichuan, the generals did not have much right to speak, the military division was a Pang Tong, and there was also a free Fa Zheng that seemed to be enough, but in fact, Zhuge Liang was the most relieved.
Pang Tong's strategy Zhuge Liang trusts him very much, but Pang Tong's personality is a little impatient, and once he encounters something that doesn't go well, he is easy to get on the hook and use some dangerous strategies and stratagems.
As for Fazheng, after all, he just jumped back, and Zhuge Liang still doesn't trust him too much.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang found out that this person and Pang Tong were probably a virtuous person, and they liked to use some tricks and tricks. When these two people meet together, if no one pulls the reins or something, it is easy to take the lord to the ditch.
In short, Zhuge Liang just didn't feel at ease, let Zhang Xi follow, at least a little more stable.
As far as Zhang Xi's temperament is concerned, sometimes even Zhuge Liang thinks that this person thinks too much and is too cautious, but now, it is the most suitable to be placed in the team of Irichuan.
As for the transformation of the Jingnan swamp that Zhang Xi was worried about, it didn't matter at all.
First, Liu Bei did not make a decision on whether to cooperate with the family, so this matter, at least before Liu Bei pacified Xichuan, it was still mainly a small-scale reclamation.
The second, as far as Zhang Xi's matter is concerned, he left a room of bamboo slips, let Pan Jun take care of it on his behalf, and implement it according to the old practice left by Zhang Xi, there is a high probability that there will be no problem.
Of course, it doesn't matter if something goes wrong, anyway, Zhuge Liang already knows how to operate, and it's a big deal that he will personally go to the micro-operation.
In the field of government affairs, Zhuge Liang's level is definitely first-class in the world.
In the end, Zhang Xi can be civil and martial, not only can he help Liu Bei give advice, watch the two of them, but also personally lead the troops to fight to make up for the lack of generals brought by Liu Bei.
So, under Zhuge Liang's repeated suggestions, Liu Bei still agreed and took Zhang Xi into Sichuan together.
Zhang Xi that depressed. The mountain road into Sichuan is very difficult to walk, and in fact, Liu Bei entered Sichuan this time, and it was not so safe.
The most important thing is that he has just returned home, and his wife is still waiting for him, but he is about to leave.
Sun Shangxiang had a lot of opinions about this, and kept cursing Zhuge Liang at home for being a dead fish head.
Don't blame Sun Shangxiang.
Zhang Xi and Sun Shangxiang have been married for almost a year, but Sun Shangxiang's stomach has no reaction at all.
Of course, there is a reason why Zhang Xi went on a business trip for half a year, but. Sun Shangxiang also wanted to leave incense for Zhang Xi as soon as possible.
originally thought that when he came back to Jiangling this time, whether Zhang Xi stayed in Jiangling or continued to return to Changsha, Sun Shangxiang could follow Zhang Xi's side, but who thought that an order to enter Sichuan came.
The army travels, let me bring my family?!
Definitely not.
So Sun Shangxiang was quite dissatisfied, and bullied Xiao Deng Ai in the backyard all day long in the name of teaching martial arts, and forced Xiao Deng Ai to beg his master, really don't let yourself learn martial arts from her master anymore, if you can't do it, take him into Sichuan together.
Don't say it, Zhang Xi is really a little excited.
Little Deng Ai is sixteen years old this year, and he has already begun to develop, and he is taller and bigger.
In these years, joining the army at the age of sixteen is really nothing new, even like Guan Ping, when he was fifteen years old, he let Guan Yu take him to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Therefore, Zhang Xi took Xiao Deng Ai into Sichuan to see the life of the army, which is actually not a bad thing.
Zhang Xi didn't plan to let Xiao Deng Ai stay in the greenhouse all the time, he studied literature in the past few years, and it was time to exercise his military ability in the past few years.
Therefore, Zhang Xi deliberately went to Xiao Deng Ai's house, visited Mrs. Deng, explained the situation, and sought Mrs. Deng's consent.
After all, Deng Ai is the only son of the family, and without asking the opinions of the mother, Zhang Xi did not dare to take the little Deng Ai to Xichuan.
It's too far.
Over the years, Mrs. Deng has basically followed Xiao Deng Ai everywhere.
moved from Xiling to Xiakou, and from Xiakou to Jiangling, and gradually got used to this kind of life.
After all, it's in troubled times, and there's no way to do it.
And because of Zhang Xi's relationship, Mrs. Deng has had a good life in the past few years, and even through Sun Shangxiang's relationship in Jiangdong, she bought a few pieces of land on the ground in Jiangling, raised a few servants and maids, and faintly reproduced the momentum in Dengjia Village back then.
Therefore, Mrs. Deng is very grateful to Zhang Xi, and she does not have the emergency mentality she had at the beginning when she apprenticed to Zhang Xi.
Since Zhang Xi, the master, let his son follow him, what Mrs. Deng has to do is to pack up for her son.
In this way, Xiao Deng Ai happily prepared and planned to enter Sichuan with his master.
It's that Sun Shangxiang is very unhappy.
