Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 754 Fazheng makes plans for Liu Bei!A replica of Longzhong!
What did Cao Cao reward himself with?

it's actually really easy.

He was already the King of Wei and had reached the end of his title. At this time, he was not ready to let Liu Xiechan give up to him.

He planned to completely unify the north and then make concessions, and then go south to pacify the Wu Kingdom and crown the princes of the Xia Dynasty. The procedures were legal and his achievements were sufficient. He would do it step by step.

Now standing at the top of the Han Dynasty are the Chief Photographer of State Affairs of Kaifu, the Prime Minister, the General, the Taiwei, the Shangshu Ling, the Commander-in-Chief of State Affairs, Liangzhou Mu, and the King of Wei Cao Cao!
The Wei Kingdom already occupies most of the territory of the Han Dynasty today. With the title of regent, one can directly bypass the emperor's seal and issue imperial edicts. The general, Taiwei, and prime minister are the highest civil and military officials. The Shangshu Ling is the real power. Of course, the Guanzhong that was just conquered cannot be handed over to others. The six counties of Liangzhou must also be held in their hands. Liu Xie can still be the master of the Xuchang Palace with peace of mind. Don't even think about leaving the palace at all.

A powerful official of this level can be compared with King Luowen among the 300-year-old Han Dynasty.

However, Cao Cao and King Luo Wen are two completely different models.

King Luowen is a false emperor, and the most important thing is that he has the power to legally depose the emperor with the endorsement of the late emperor. This is quite terrifying.

Cao Cao can also be called the false emperor, but this power is achieved because his own power is too large and he has completely bypassed the emperor.

King Luo Wen could land safely, but Cao Cao could only go one step further. This is the biggest difference between the two.

Now that things have come to this point, it is completely self-evident what Cao Cao wants to do.

……

Everyone knows Cao Cao’s heart!
Facing the angry and heartbroken Liu Bei, Luo Qi just said lightly.

Now it is almost approaching the 20th year of Jian'an. Time is really rushing like running water. It has been almost 20 years since Liu Xie ascended the throne.

More than 20 years have passed since the Taiping Rebellion.

The previous group of princes had passed away, and the previous Duke Zhao passed away. Luo Shu was not even granted the title but inherited the position himself.

Luo Qi, who was still a young boy back then, is already a middle-aged man, and Liu Bei has entered the age of knowing his destiny.

Listening to Luo Qi's words, Liu Bei drank a glass of wine and sighed in confusion: "Ziqi, I, Liu Bei, have been running around for decades, and now that I have such a foundation, I should be proud of myself.

But watching the usurper Cao thief take over the world step by step, and watching the thief Cao make Luoyang the capital of his Wei state, the pain in my heart is simply indescribable.

Looking at myself, I can only see my thighs resurrected, I can only do nothing, I can only sigh in vain. I have to doubt myself. How can I stately say that I want to follow the path of Emperor Guangwu again?
Zi Qi, do you think we can still revive the Han Dynasty and return it to the old capital? "

Luo Qi silently filled a glass of wine for Liu Bei. When life is always sad, life is always at a low point. At such times, it is necessary to express those negative emotions. He first drank a glass of wine with Liu Bei, and then comforted him warmly. He said: “Your Majesty, why not?
Cao Cao only had half of the world. Although he was strong, he made enemies everywhere.

Now it is even more rampant. At this time, it is our opportunity. He has many internal problems, Guanzhong and other places are newly attached, his governance is brutal, and there are many dissatisfactions in the country. As long as he suffers a big defeat, he will be in internal strife. spend the rest of your life.

It seems powerful, but it is really unbearable. Your Majesty, there is really no need to worry. As many people support him as there are people who oppose him. As long as we can unite these people, Cao Cao will be defeated! "

Luo Qi's value in Liu Bei's camp cannot be fully reflected by just using civil and military skills. Especially after Zhuge Liang began to fully grasp the government affairs of Chu State, because Zhuge Liang was so capable, Luo Qi began to be idle, but Liu Bei still trusted Luo Qi the most. , and even trusted Luo Qi more and more, he would tell Luo Qi everything, especially when he was depressed, only Luo Qi could soothe his soul and cheer him up again.

While the two were having a heart-to-heart talk, Liu Ye ran in excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, there is a person outside the door who claims to be a filial and upright person of the Guanzhong Dharma and the Dharma."

Fa Zheng!

Regarding Fazheng's reputation, it can only be described as everyone in the world does not recognize the king. Especially after Yanzhou deceived Cao Cao and assisted Ma Chao and almost captured Guanzhong, he was one of the representatives of wise men in the world.

Didn’t Ma Chao surrender to Cao Cao?
Why is Fazheng here now?

Liu Bei and Luo Qi looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. This incident could not be false. There was only one reason for Fazheng to come to Qingzhou, and that was to join Liu Bei!

Liu Bei's current advisers are far inferior to Cao Cao. The biggest problem is that there is no top adviser like Xun You.

Liu Ye is a man who is very resourceful and has many solutions to problems, but he can easily fall into internal strife.

Compared with these top counselors, Luo Qi is still a little behind. His situation is similar to that of Chen Gong. He can lay out the general situation, but he lacks quick wit.

Zhuge Liang was too upright, not the kind of counselor who could disrupt the country with a single word, and he used Zhuge Liang as a counselor. Luo Qi thought it was a pity that his political ability was not inferior to Wen Gong and Guan Zhong.

Liu Bei didn't have time to feel sad about spring and autumn, so he hurried out of the mansion. When he arrived outside the mansion, he saw a rather down-and-out scholar, but his eyes were still proud, his head held high, and his momentum was extraordinary.

Fazheng was naturally anxious. Even with Ma Chao's help and delay, it was still quite difficult for him to get from Guanzhong to Qingzhou. There was no danger, but he had to avoid many passes. Fortunately, the result was gratifying.

As for why he didn't follow Ma Chao and surrender to Cao Cao, the reason is very simple. Ma Chao is a prince, and he can be reused if he surrenders to Cao Cao. Why would he surrender to Cao Cao as a counselor?
How big is Cao Cao's group of advisers?

Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Chen Gong, Xi Zhong, Dong Zhao, Jiang Ji, Zhong Yao, Sima Yi, and Sima Lang are all in the first echelon.

With so many talented people, did he go to work for Xun You and others?
He is a filial and upright man who thinks he has clever strategies and is firmly ranked among the top three in the world. Naturally, he is not willing to succumb to so many people.

Moreover, he was one of the leaders of Cao Pi's death. If he stayed in Cao Pi's camp, even if Cao Cao didn't kill him, the new king would definitely die a bad death after he succeeded to the throne.

As for the reason for not going to Soochow, it's even simpler. That place is now dominated by families. If you go there as a foreigner, you must first get married before you can be reused.

Only Liu Bei, who had strength but lacked a mastermind, was the only prince who according to Fazheng had a chance to overthrow Cao Cao.

Since the Cao family has been offended, let the Cao family die. This is Fazheng's truest idea.

Seeing Liu Bei coming out to see him in such a hurry, Fazheng knew that the situation was stable. Next to Liu Bei was Gongzi Qi, the second-ranking figure in the Chu Kingdom. Liu Bei, as the most respected prince among the princes, saluted Fazheng and said, "Sure enough, Fa Xiaozhi in person?
I am so lucky to be able to see Xiaozhi face to face! "

Fa Zheng was born into a wealthy family in Guanzhong, and he was quite a knight-errant. Because he was related to Ma Chao, he helped him unify Guanzhong. Because he had a grudge with the Cao family, he wanted to destroy the Cao family. What he emphasized was that kindness must be repaid and grievances must be punished. .

Even though he knew that Liu Bei was trying to win people's hearts at this moment, Fa Zheng was still inexplicably moved. He bowed deeply and said: "It is Fa Zheng who dare not treat the king so favorably. Now that Cao Cao is so powerful, he is so cruel and tramples on the Han industry. Fa Zheng cannot do it." I am willing to serve as an official. The king's benevolence and righteousness will spread all over the world. I admire Fa Zheng and travel two thousand miles here. I just hope that the king will not use Fa Zheng to correct his despicableness and accept him in the palace. Fa Zhengding will work together to help the king achieve his great cause."

When Liu Bei heard this, he felt relieved. He ignored Fazheng's dirty body and held Fazheng's arm. He laughed loudly and said: "Fa Zhi, who is famous all over the world, is here. What can I do to be reserved? Hurry up and be filial." Enter the mansion and take a bath first, then I will introduce you to the heroes of my Chu country for my filial piety. From now on, you will be the leader of my Chu country."

Fazheng is not an unknown person, but a person who is famous all over the world. In this era, reputation can be regarded as official qualifications.

Even if a person like Fazheng becomes a minister all of a sudden, no one will doubt his ability. At most, they will doubt his loyalty.

Fazheng was walking beside Liu Bei, and he could clearly feel Liu Bei's heartfelt welcome and joy for him.

This is a very sincere person!

As a top counselor, Fazheng had some basic judgments about Liu Bei after only being in contact with Liu Bei for a short period of time.

No wonder Yinghou chose Liu Bei to revive the Han Dynasty. No wonder Guan Yunchang gave up everything to follow Liu Bei. No wonder everyone who met Liu Bei said he was a hero.

This is a person who is the opposite of Cao Cao.

This is a man who can accomplish great things.

It’s the right time to come to Qingzhou.

After Fa Zheng finished washing himself in the presence of the palace's maid, he put on a silk suit. When he appeared in front of Liu Bei, he looked quite elegant and restored his demeanor as a noble prince in Guanzhong.

Liu Bei invited Fa Zheng to sit down in the room and put down the wine bottle in front of him. Liu Bei laughed loudly and said: "Today Xiaozhi has entered our country of Chu. This is the great fortune of the Han Dynasty. Let's drink this glass of wine together to congratulate Xiaozhi."

Fazheng raised his glass and drank the wine, then wiped the wine stains around his mouth with a handkerchief, cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, now that I am under your command, I can't just eat for free. I came from Guanzhong, and I was thinking all the way. Is your Majesty willing to listen to how to break the situation for Chu State?"

Liu Bei did not expect that Fazheng would show his value so soon. His eyes lit up and he waved his hands and said, "I am willing to hear the details of what Xiaozhi is thinking!"

Fazheng immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, Cao Wei is now so powerful that it is difficult to stop it. However, from the perspective of my ministers, although its power is strong, it is also weak.

Presumably all the advisers under the king have made a plan for the king to unite the princes to attack Cao Cao. "

Liu Bei nodded. In the current situation, it is only right for the princes to unite to attack Cao Cao. Otherwise, they will only be defeated one by one.

The princes must be very aware of this situation.

Fazheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say it, but it is difficult to defeat Cao Cao just by uniting the princes. During the Zhou Dynasty, there were many alliances among the countries, but when did it become a big deal except for self-protection?
Even the alliance led by Luo Guo, the ancestor of Duke Zi Qi, could only keep Qin and Chu from invading, but could not attack Qin and Chu in turn.

From Zheng's point of view, the only one among the princes in the world who can truly unite with the king is Wu.

Luo Zichu, the Duke of Yuzhang, the leader of the Wu Kingdom, has the ability to observe the world, and he will definitely not sit back and watch Cao Wei become powerful.

But Cao Wei now occupies Nanyang, and Jingzhou's way out is blocked. Wu State wants to attack Shu and Hanzhong, but Cao Wei occupies Guanzhong. Compared with Wu State's attack against the trend, it is easier for Cao Wei to obtain Shu.

In this case, the officials of the Wu State were most likely to focus on defending the Yangtze River passes such as Yiling, and then set their sights on the Huaisi land that they had always wanted to capture.

Runan is the goal of Wu State, which is the basis for the alliance between Chu State and Wu State.

But Xuzhou is also what Wu State wants to capture. If you are not careful, Wu State will attack our Chu State Xuzhou. It should be said that Wu State will definitely attack Xuzhou. The battle between Wu and Chu is inevitable.

Wu and Chu can only briefly unite to capture Yuzhou, but they will eventually lead to war. Such allies are very unimportant and cannot even be regarded as allies!

Don't even think about relying on the relationship between Prince Qi and Prince Chu to maintain the relationship between the two countries. Your Majesty, I believe you know very well that national interests and personal preferences are different. "

it is good!
Luo Qi and Liu Bei couldn't help but applaud Fazheng for his clear analysis. He was indeed a world-famous painting strategist, and he could clearly explain the relationship between the two countries in just a few words.

Seeing that Luo Qi and Liu Bei were listening to him attentively, Fazheng was even more excited and said: "Your Majesty, which piece of land does Chu need to acquire most now?

It’s Jizhou!
It’s Yanzhou!
In other words, what the Chu State has to do is to drive the Wei State's forces out from the east of Xingyang first, and then drive them out from the three states of Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou.

Then the second stage is to completely drive Cao Wei's forces out of Shandong.

This requires you to have a great victory in Jizhou, defeat Cao Cao's forces in Jizhou, then use the power of victory to defeat Yanzhou, and unite with Wu to defeat Yuzhou.

Only in this way will the general trend of Cao Cao's victory over the world be reversed! "

A great victory over Cao Cao in Jizhou?
Easier said than done!
Fazheng's eyes were full of brilliance and he said: "Your Majesty, only in Jizhou can you have a chance to defeat Cao Cao. If you are in Yanzhou, it will be too difficult to win!
The key to defeating Cao Cao is to obtain the alliance of Yan State, but this is not the key. The key is Jin King Lu Bu.

Only with the full support of King Lu Bu of Jin, if he can at the critical moment, divine soldiers descend from the sky from the Eight Paths of Taihang and hit Cao Cao's tail.

Cao Cao was very proud at this moment, and he must have sent out a large army. If the army of dozens or hundreds of miles suddenly encounters a sudden attack by Lu Bu's cavalry, it will encounter unimaginable horror.

Having too many troops but not too many troops is never a good thing!
The three generals under the king's command, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao, are all unparalleled in the world and are capable of defeating thousands of enemies. They are best at destroying enemies and breaking formations. They are simply born for such battles.

How can we not win like this? "

Luo Qi and Liu Bei looked at each other, and Luo Qi said slowly: "It is difficult, but not difficult, to gain the support of King Lu Bu of Jin. I can give it a try."

Fazheng looked at Luo Qi with shining eyes, this strategy could only be used with Luo Qi.

The emperor said: "When I was in power, I advanced and retreated like a wolf. I was supported by filial piety and uprightness, so that I could soar. Without filial piety and uprightness, I would not be where I am today." - "Ji Han Shu·Zhuge Liang Fazheng Biography"
