Han Dao world

Chapter 867
Liu Xie didn't speak.

He knew what Fazheng meant.

Chen Deng was once defeated by Zhang Yun, and his entire army was wiped out, and he himself was captured alive, which can be called a great shame.Now in Jizhou, facing Zhang Xi who was stationed on the north bank of Zhangshui outside the city, it was expected that Chen Deng would want to avenge his shame.

Although Chen Deng is a general under Liu Bei's command, his background and strength make him different from other generals, and he has enough influence to influence Liu Bei.

When Zhuge Jin, Xu Sheng and others joined the army, they did not vote for Liu Bei, but for Chen Deng.

The best way to weaken Chen Deng is to let him lose the battle.

Without strength, influence will naturally be weak.

Fazheng thought so.He opposed Chen Deng's fight, not to stop Chen Deng—he couldn't stop Chen Deng—but to prevent Liu Bei from helping Chen Deng, let Chen Deng face Zhang Yun alone, and bear all the consequences.

If Liu Bei agrees, once the battle is defeated, Liu Bei will bear the main responsibility.

Liu Xie considered it carefully for a while, and finally agreed.

Although it is a bit shameful to kill someone with a knife, but in the face of internal diehards like Chen Deng, since they can't be wiped out directly like they can be dealt with, there is no way to use the enemy's hands to make them suffer.

Without suppressing Chen Deng and warning the families behind him, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to become the real general, and Xuzhou will not be able to become the Xuzhou of the imperial court.

"Are you going to fight with Liu Xuande all the way?"

Fazheng said solemnly: "Although I and Liu Shijun are very different in age, they hit it off. I am willing to fight side by side, to be loyal to your majesty, and to expand the territory for the great man."

Liu Xie smiled lightly.

You just hit it off at first sight.One was nearly forty years old, and one year was only in his early twenties. They actually went to drink flower wine together, and they were like-minded.

The two have similar personalities, and they both have revenge.It's just that Liu Bei is older after all, has suffered more beatings from the society, and is relatively more powerful, unlike Fazheng who puts all his face on his face.

But they are essentially one type of people.

"In this case, then you should assist him well. I will issue an edict later to transfer you as his military adviser."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

There was the sound of Ming Dy in the distance, Liu Xie took off his bow and looked at Fazheng.

"Try?"

Fazheng smiled awkwardly. "Your Majesty is the same as before. I dare not show my ugliness. Let's go for Your Majesty and appreciate His Majesty's heroic appearance."

Liu Xie snorted and rode his horse down the hillside.

An elk was driven to nowhere, its eyes were red, and it ran towards Liu Xie, lowered its head, speeded up, and was ready to fight hard.

Liu Xie drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot it out.

The elk fell at the sound.

Fazheng saw it clearly, and couldn't help clicking his tongue secretly.Liu Xie's arrow seemed easy and casual, but it hit the elk's skull with one arrow, and the arrow sank in half, which shows that it is not only accurate, but also full of strength.

This is the real master.

If you don't make a move, you're done, and if you make a move, you will kill.

More than a dozen loose riders and female riders also participated in the hunting, riding horses and galloping within a radius of several miles, bowing and shooting.Where the strings sound, there must be gains.

Fazheng reined in his horse and stood on the hillside, looking at the appearance of his former colleagues, feeling somewhat regretful.

This period of time was too ridiculous to practice martial arts properly.Now watching them shoot and hunt, but I dare not take action, and I can only be laughed at if I take action.

Before I knew it, I fell behind.

Just as he was sighing with emotion, Zhuge Liang came on his horse, holding a bow in one hand, and a pheasant and a hare in the other, and got off the horse.

"Xiao Zhi, why don't you end? Didn't you bring a bow and arrow?"

"No, no." Fazheng said hastily, "I haven't practiced for a long time, I'm neglected, I dare not show shame. Kong Ming, I haven't seen you for a year, your riding and archery has improved a lot."

Zhuge Liang laughed. "I am the exact opposite of Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi is busy with military affairs and has no time to practice. But I am free and can practice every day. Although I can't say it is superb, I am familiar with it."

Fazheng looked at Zhuge Liang again.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Zhuge Liang has grown taller again, about eight feet three inches.He has a strong figure and light movements, like a new sword, with a heroic spirit.

He is worthy of being a talent in the eyes of the emperor, and he will surely be a generation of virtuous ministers and famous generals in the future.

Fazheng felt jealous suddenly.

This person is not only talented, but also lucky, and has almost all the favorable conditions in one body.And his only disadvantage - background, is precisely what the emperor disapproves of the most.

If his family background was better, maybe the emperor would not value him so much.

"I heard from my brother that my Zhuge family has been taken care of by Xiaozhi, and I am very grateful." Zhuge Liang held up the prey in his hand. "How about treating Xiaozhi to eat some wild game today?"

Fazheng laughed, turned over and got off the horse. "Kong Ming, why are you so out of touch. You handle the prey, and I will collect firewood. I have almost forgotten other crafts, but I can still do this little chore."

Zhuge Liang laughed and agreed.

Zhuge Liang went to the nearby river to deal with the prey, and Fazheng collected firewood, dug pits, and built stoves.When Zhuge Liang came back with his prey, he had already lit a fire and boiled water.

The two sat around the fire, chatting while busy.

Fazheng has been stationed in Langya for more than half a year, and he is familiar with the situation of the Zhuge clan, knowing that the Zhuge clan has been in decline for a long time.Zhuge Liang's father, Zhugegui, stopped his official career in Taishan County, and his uncle Zhugexuan was appointed as the prefect of Yuzhang because of his relationship with Yuan Shu.

It's a pity that Zhuge Xuan's luck was too bad, and he died before Yuan Shu was recognized by the court. Brother Zhuge Liang could only live in Jingzhou and depend on Liu Biao.

If it wasn't for Zhou Zhong's recommendation, Zhuge Liang might not have had the chance to enter the court.

But such is the luck of man.

When luck comes, you can't stop it.

Zhuge Liang has become the emperor's confidant, and has a fellowship with Empress Fushou. It is difficult for the Zhuge clan in Langya to prosper.Among other things, let's talk about Zhuge Jin, who was originally only a middle-level talent, and was attached to Chen Deng, but Chen Deng didn't pay much attention to it.Now, even when Liu Bei entered the court, he had to bring Zhuge Jin with him, just to facilitate contact with Zhuge Liang.

According to Liu Bei, Zhuge Jin played a very crucial role this time.

It was Zhuge Jin who learned from Zhuge Liang the resolute will of the imperial court to save the land, that Liu Bei ignored Chen Deng's objection, stepped up his efforts to save the land in the East China Sea and Pengcheng, and decided to save the land in Langya immediately.

Especially Langya, without any determination, Liu Bei would not dare to forcibly implement Dutian in Langya.

While chatting, Fazheng looked at Zhuge Liang, wanting to see what was so special about him that he could gain the trust of the emperor.

One of the reasons why he decided to follow Liu Bei instead of staying in the court was that he knew that even if he stayed in the court, he would not surpass Zhuge Liang, become the most trusted person of the emperor, and his future achievements would not exceed following Liu Bei in battle.

That being the case, it is better to seize Liu Bei's opportunity.

The monarch and his ministers get each other, which is something that can be met but not sought after.

"Kong Ming, the Son of Heaven has already arrived here in the conquest of Jizhou, but he is not in a hurry to march. Could it be that he wants to give the first victory to the Northern Army Zhonghou?"

Zhuge Liang finished what he was doing, washed his hands, and wrapped his hands around his knees. "The Son of Heaven is already the supreme being in the world, so how can he care about military achievements? As for whether the first meritorious service is from the Northern Army, that is not what the Son of Heaven cares about. It depends on his own strength and opportunity."

"Where's General Fujun? Doesn't he care about military exploits?" Fazheng chuckled.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Fazheng and laughed dumbfoundedly. "Xiaozhi, although you and Beijun Zhonghou are from the same town, you don't have much friendship, right? As for General Fujun, since when did you care about him?"
