Han Dao world

Chapter 868
Fazheng laughed twice and didn't ask any more questions.

Zhuge Liang was tight-lipped, and he couldn't come up with something to ask, so it's better not to ask.

When he asked about the first merit, he still hesitated.After all, Liu Bei will go overseas in the future. Contributing overseas sounds majestic, but it is very hard. It is better to stay in the Central Plains and live comfortably.

Shi Sunrui is a Fufeng man, a senior in the village.If the emperor intends to let Shisun Rui win the first merit, he can have one more choice, and he doesn't have to follow Liu Bei all the way to the dark.

He was thinking about this question when he learned that the Son of Heaven had expanded the Northern Army into eight schools, and assigned elites from prefectures and counties to the Northern Army.During the march, he heard that the emperor was stranded in the Neihuang area, and he became more determined.

Asking Zhuge Liang is just a final confirmation.

If Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, he could still ask Meng Da.It's just that Meng Da is just an ordinary casual rider, and the news is far less accurate than Zhuge Liang.

The two changed the topic tacitly and talked about Langya.

Yuan Xi invaded Langya last year and got support from many big clans.Some big clans even joined Yuan Xi's camp with trilogy, hoping to get a share of it and improve the strength of the clan.

But things backfired. In the end, not only did Yuan Xi fail to capture Xuzhou, he even failed to keep Langya.After the news that Yuan Shao was placed under house arrest by Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi retreated to Yecheng.

Those big families who supported Yuan Xi also fell into panic.Some of them withdrew to Yecheng with Yuan Xi, while others hid in the mountains, lingering on their last days.

Therefore, Xuzhou soldiers were divided into two.Zang Ba, Chang Xi and others were in charge of suppressing bandits, while the main force led by Zhang Fei and Chen Deng rushed to Jizhou to fight.

"Whose decision is this?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"My suggestion." Fazheng smiled sinisterly. "Chen Deng was eager to take revenge, and he came as soon as he said it. After all, Langya is not a xiapi, so he can't touch the interests of his Chen family."

Zhuge Liang raised his head, looked at Fazheng, and thought about the emperor's evaluation of Fazheng. In addition to his complicated mood, he felt a little more admiration.

When the emperor arranged for Fazheng to assist Liu Bei, he was still a little puzzled.Fazheng entered the job very late, but was released early, which was beyond the expectations of many people.Many people—including him—thought that Pang Tong was more suitable than Fazheng, but the emperor insisted on his own opinion, and finally sent Fazheng to go.

He once thought that this was because Fa was the people of Guanzhong, and the emperor intended to show kindness to the people of Guanzhong in exchange for their support.

Now it seems that those ideas are too complicated.

The Son of Heaven sent Fazheng there only because Fazheng was most qualified for such a task.

If it were Pang Tong, he wouldn't be able to use revenge as a bait to lure Chen Deng to Jizhou.

Chen Deng was eager for revenge, and he did not hesitate to go against the emperor's established plan and took the initiative to seek war.In the absence of the main reinforcements led by the emperor, the advantage of Liu Bei and Zhang Yun in fighting is not obvious.If Fazheng interfered and let Liu Bei sit back and watch success or failure, then Chen Deng would have a high probability of being severely injured.

In this way, not only Chen Deng himself lost the right to speak, but the Chen family in Xiapi will also have a serious lack of confidence in bargaining. In the future, the imperial court will have much less resistance to promoting Dutian in Xiapi.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Zhuge Liang didn't care about Chen Deng's success or failure, but he had to care about his brother Zhuge Jin's future.

Zhuge Jin is Chen Deng's staff.In this way, if Chen Deng was defeated, it would be fine for Zhuge Jin to be implicated, but he was afraid of dying in battle.

Zhang He had cavalry and had a record of killing prisoners. Once Chen Deng's troops were defeated, Zhuge Jin would also be in danger of being killed.

To be safe, the only way to get Zhuge Jin away from Chen Deng is unrealistic.

He had already tried, but was rejected by Zhuge Jin.

The righteousness of the monarch and ministers has been determined, unless Chen Deng does something that Zhuge Jin can't accept, Zhuge Jin is unlikely to leave voluntarily.

Revenge is obviously not unacceptable, but should be advocated.

Zhuge Liang was a little helpless, but it was not easy to put it on his face, so he could only think of other ways.

He brought up another matter. "Whose subordinate is Bian Bing from Kaiyang?"

Fazheng thought about it. "He entered the scene relatively late, and he should be under Zhang Yide's command. The specific situation is not clear. Why, do you know him?"

"I know his sister, Mrs. Bian."

Fazheng laughed.He knew who Bian Bing was, and naturally he also knew who Mrs. Bian was.

"If I remember correctly, she should be nearly forty years old, right?"

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and raised his hand to signal Fazheng not to think about it. "Madam Bian still eats in the imperial camp, and the emperor eats meals made by her every day. Her parents died early, and there is only such a younger brother. If Xiaozhi has the opportunity, he might as well take care of him."

Fazheng's eyes froze. "She still eats in the imperial camp?"

"You go back to the camp with the emperor later, maybe you can try her handicraft."

Fazheng smacked his lips and nodded. "I'll try my best." Then he laughed again: "When I was in Kaiyang, I heard that she was born with a yellow qi and a yellow room, and the diviner Wang Dan thought it was auspicious. Later Cao Cao heard about this and took her as a concubine. Now it seems I'm afraid that Cao Cao, like Liu Yan, is thinking too much, and this auspiciousness should not be due to him."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Fazheng and said with a smile: "Xiaozhi, how can you take this kind of country talk seriously. Just talk about it in private, you don't have to mention it in front of the emperor."

Fazheng laughed and said nothing.

-

Liu Xie hunted for half a day and gained a lot.When the sun went down, they returned to the camp with their prey. Mrs. Bian had received the news and waited outside the camp with someone to count the prey one by one, slaughter them and prepare them for cooking.

When Fazheng saw Madam Bian, he was a little surprised at Madam Bian's youth.

As far as he knew, Mrs. Bian was not only young, but also had several children.Generally speaking, even if such a woman is well maintained, she will age faster than ordinary people.But Mrs. Bian not only maintains a good figure, but also doesn't show too many wrinkles on her face. She moves quickly and thinks clearly, just like a woman in her early thirties.

"I've heard that there are many gods in Langya, wouldn't she be the same?" Fazheng said half-jokingly.

Zhuge Liang smiled, but ignored Fazheng's teasing, walked up to Mrs. Bian, said a few words softly, and pointed at Fazheng in the middle.

Madam Bian glanced at Fazheng from a distance, bowed slightly, and saluted.

Fazheng didn't take it seriously either, he followed Zhuge Liang into the camp and went to look for Mengda.

Meng Da had already prepared for Fazheng's intention.He didn't hide it at all, and told Fazheng clearly that although the emperor didn't say it clearly, everyone felt that this attack on Jizhou was Shi Sunrui's best opportunity.As long as he doesn't make principled mistakes, he will definitely be the next captain.

The so-called error of principle is the matter of favoring the big clan in Hedong last time.

This matter is difficult or difficult, or not difficult, it depends on how Shi Sunrui chooses.

"How is the progress of Dutian in Guanzhong?" Fazheng asked.

"Since Captain Xia Yu of Huya was recalled to Chang'an, the progress of Dutian has been much faster." Meng Da grinned. "Among those who oppose Dutian, there are almost no Guanzhong people. Some of them are fishing to deceive those Guandong fools."

"Where is the Ma family in Fufeng Maoling? Are they also willing to spend their fields?"

"I didn't want to at first, but I found someone to scold Taipu Zhao for a while. After Ma Guiren entered the palace, they didn't say a word."

"Your Ma?" Fazheng was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Forget them to be acquainted. If the quarrel continues, it might be the second Yuan Shi."

Meng Da laughed out loud.

Fazheng said again: "Then what about your Meng family? Your father has searched Liangzhou for several years, and the land that he bought with great difficulty, just gave it away?"

Meng Da was a little embarrassed, and then said coyly, "Although it's a pity, it's better than being dug up by Liangzhou people."
