Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 342 Broken, this Yizhou has nothing to do with me
"Xiao Zhi, why did you come to see me? Is there a plan to break the situation?"

The moment Liu Zhang saw Fazheng, he asked eagerly, and even went up to grab Fazheng's forearm and walked forward.

All the way into the main hall, he asked softly.

Fazheng still had a smile on his face. He was stunned for a while, then turned into a wry smile, and naturally stretched out his hand to support the back of Liu Zhang's hand.

"There is no plan, but I feel that the current situation is not right," Fazheng patted a few times, making Liu Zhang a little confused.

Of course, I am also curious, since this Fazheng has no plan, why did you come to see me on purpose?
"Right now, Liu Xuande's reputation is already too good," Fazheng happily welcomed Liu Zhang into the throne, and then said with a smile, "Perhaps, in a short while, the common people will remember the achievements of this Uncle Liu."

"Just like you, my lord, he is the uncle of the emperor of the great Han Dynasty. He is a member of the clan of today's emperor, and he has the orthodoxy of a great man."

"If... if there is no obstacle, I am afraid of the status of the lord... As far as I know, Huang Quan, Liu Ba and others are quite friendly to Liu Bei, and they are already close. If the lord does not stop him, I'm afraid this Yizhou will change owners ahead of schedule in the future."

"What did you say?"

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, full of displeasure. Of course he understood the current situation, but suddenly someone suddenly said it, and he still felt that it was not realistic.

I have been in Shuzhong for more than ten years, and I have entered Shuzhong since my father's generation, and I have enjoyed it for so long. Suddenly, someone came to tell me that the land of Shu is about to change hands. popular support.

It still hurts to think about it.

After Liu Zhang asked the question, he was confused for a moment, then lowered his head and glanced at the smooth copybook, which reflected his slightly aged appearance, with kindness and kindness.

I think that I have made many political achievements in Yizhou for so many years, won the hearts of the people, and won the support of scholars. They were bought in exchange for favorable policies.

This kind of concept has been sprouting since Xu Zhen stared at Liangzhou, until recently when Liu Bei also came, he suddenly became frightened.

It's like a piece of land in an ordinary farmer's house. When no one cultivated it, they didn't pay much attention to it, and no one cared about walking the cattle back and forth seven or eight times.

Once someone starts to cultivate, everyone wants to fight for it.

And in these years, it happened that the owner of this square of land was poor because he didn't care about cultivating the land, so it was difficult to compete with others.

This is where Liu Zhang is embarrassed at the moment.

If he is more stubborn and drives them away, he may cause disaster. There are still many reasons he can make up for wanting to attack a certain place these days.

A few casually killed people who say they are his cronies are enough to have a reason to leave the teacher, but if they are not driven away and let them compete in Yizhou, it will be like now. .

And Chengdu in the south is gradually being eroded by Liu Bei, and his benevolence will slowly affect the civil and military of his soldiers in the days to come.

To put it bluntly, if you don't think of a way to balance it, you will always be bullied.

However, the paradox is that Liu Zhang clearly understands this situation, but he has never dared to get angry, and even maintains a leisurely life every day. Only in the dead of night, he is willing to think a little bit. Think about it.

Because he dare not speak out.

Once it is clarified, the things that will happen one year later will be brought forward to the present.

Now he can't solve the "invasion" of these two tyrants, and he doesn't even dare to call it an invasion, because one uses the reason to help govern and clear the influence of Wudoumi Taoism.

The other one was invited by himself to help maintain law and order in Yizhou.

Think about it this way...

"My Yizhou seems to be getting more and more chaotic."

Liu Zhang murmured softly to himself, and suddenly had mixed feelings.

But when he asked, Fazheng immediately laughed, knelt in front of him and cupped his hands and said softly: "My lord, I guess, my lord must have thought about this festival a long time ago, so there is no need to pretend to be suspicious."

"Liu Xuande is one of the heroes of the world. He has the name of benevolence and virtue behind him. He has followed him for many years and has never given up on it. Even if he abandons his family, he will not abandon benevolence and righteousness. He will practice benevolence and righteousness to the end throughout his life, from this point of view, his virtue is certainly no less than that of the Lord."

Even better.

Of course, it is impossible to say this kind of words.

Anyone can see that Liu Xuande is not a really kind and weak person, he is definitely a hero in troubled times, but he upholds benevolence and justice.

Know that the world belongs to the heart.

The same is true for Xu Zhen.

Otherwise, it is impossible for these people to reach such a high status. They have reached this level by means, and then won the hearts of the people by practicing benevolence and righteousness.

Liu Bei is a ruthless person. He would rather be let down by others than to be disqualified. Therefore, if he stays in Yizhou, he will definitely win a lot of hearts.

After that day, Liu Zhang's foundation will be lifted little by little.

"Duke Xuande has been invited by several factions during this period of time. I am afraid that many scholars of the school have fallen in love with him. We have returned to the Han Dynasty, and the lord is also a relative of the Liu family. Why did you return to the Han Dynasty? Instead, they will be divided."

"My lord has to think carefully about this point."

Liu Zhang raised his head slightly, looked at Fazheng suspiciously, and asked uncertainly: "You mean, I should share Yizhou with Liu Bei, welcome all his trilogy into Sichuan, and then govern together with him?"

"Alternatively, should I abdicate to let the virtuous, let this famous Uncle Liu Huang be the Lord of Yizhou, and I will go to his Jingzhou to be the prefect?"

"That's not true." Fazheng knew that Liu Zhang was a little angry, and he felt a little offended by his few words, so he took a step back and said, "My lord, you remember General Cheqi, and now he has Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and Youzhou. With Bingzhou and other places, the territory is huge."

"But in fact, it has never been rectified."

"His subordinates are actually very weak. Although there are many military advisers, ministers of internal affairs, food and grass officials, and skilled craftsmen, they have no talents to establish a state, and no great sages to follow."

"That's right, only Bingzhou and Xiliang are the basis for it, but Youzhou is not, not to mention Yongzhou. This place has been abandoned and re-divided many times, and there is a lot of wasteland."

"From my point of view, Xu Zhen is raising the Han flag, and the emperor personally appointed him as a charioteer. He is as powerful as General Huangfu in the past. He will be a man of heavenly skill in the future. He has a kindness with the Liu family. Why not join forces with him?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhang finally understood that Fazheng did not come to offer advice. He went around from Liu Bei before, and came here to be a lobbyist for Xu Zhen.

So he squinted his eyes and took a closer look, wanting to see what this person's face looked like. When he met him at the beginning of the year, he had never seen him so proud of himself.

"Xiaozhi, did you vote for Xu Bowen?"

"If you had voted for Bowen, you should have been a lobbyist earlier. Before Liu Xuande entered Sichuan, and the soldiers and civilians had never complained about him, you could talk about it a little bit. If you want to cede the land, you can lose the money."

"Now, aren't you afraid that Zhang Ren will punish you with the law and kill your whole family?"

Liu Zhang's tone was fierce, but in Fazheng's eyes, his expression was just useless anger. Most of the people he could scare were the people around him, because he was familiar with him and knew his temperament.

Probably because I understand my habits over the years and like to bargain with others, that's why I said such things and put out an attitude first.

Fazheng smiled wryly, and then said sincerely: "My lord, I'm not trying to be a lobbyist for him, but in the current situation, we have all the strength in Sichuan and Sichuan, and we can't negotiate between the two of us tactfully. preservation."

"I just, like my lord, have compassion for the people of Yizhou and want to save them."

"Otherwise, if the three families fight in our Yizhou, the people will suffer in the end. Perhaps the peace and stability brought about by these years of internal policies will disappear without a trace in an instant."

The corner of Liu Zhang's mouth twitched when he heard this, knowing that there was no way to scold him. After Fazheng came in, he first pretended to speak to himself to show his loyalty and concern.

I also talked about uniting Xu Zhen, and analyzed Xu Bowen's current situation. The meaning is very obvious. If Yizhou Mu is handed over to him, then I, Liu Zhang, will go to Youzhou, Bingzhou, or Bingzhou to take important positions, or to be the governor, or Is the heavy prefect.

With such an exchange, the whole family can be preserved in the future, and they can still enjoy wealth.

After he got angry, he put a sentence on the righteousness of the family and the country, so that the mountains and rivers would no longer be fragmented and the people would not be displaced.

Everything is taken up.

Can't move him yet.

Because Liu Zhang didn't know at this moment whether the law had already gained a considerable status with Xu Zhen, and before he was determined to start a war with Xu Zhen, it was impossible to touch him.

In order not to anger Xu Zhen, even the one-year term is less than one year, and the army will be mobilized immediately.

At that time, Yizhou was really over.

No matter who wins or loses in the fight, it seems that it has little to do with Liu Zhang in the end.

As far as the military strength is concerned, I have 10,000+ Yizhou soldiers, but I can't even fight against Zhang Lu.

Xu Zhen received Zhang Lu's disciples and soldiers, plus his own elite, the force will be even stronger, and he dare not fight at all.

Unless you have the courage to spare the strength of the whole territory, you must repel Xu Jun.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhang did not.

So I had no choice but to leave with a straight face, and I had to send him away with a smile.

Of course, shortly after Fazheng left, Huang Quan also brought Liu Ba to speak, which was surprisingly similar to Fazheng. Perhaps he knew that Fazheng came to see the lord first, so he couldn't sit still and hurriedly came to speak.

The way of speaking is also very interesting, almost a way of counting.

Huang Quan was loyal to himself and to the Han family, he was a man of integrity and uprightness, he would not form gangs or collude with others, unexpectedly he also got mixed up with Liu Ba and Liu Xuande.

I'm afraid it was also what others said, being attracted by Liu Bei's personality, and gradually understanding his ambition, so he is willing to follow him wholeheartedly.

Liu Zhang listened for another hour. During this period, he sent Huang Quan many soul-searching questions, trying to win back his loyalty. The effect was remarkable. In the end, Huang Quan didn't know what to say, so he could only stand aside and say nothing. .

Thanks to the presence of Huang Quan, whenever Liu Zhang didn't know how to answer, he would turn to chat with him.

Of course, when it came to the end, the people who came here also threatened that the people in Yizhou would not suffer from the war, and then they were driven away by Liu Zhang.

I've heard this before, so there's no need to listen to it again.

But he understands very deeply that in this way, Yizhou no longer belongs to him, but the right to choose who the future belongs to is still in his hands.

To understand this, he had to carefully calculate how much money he had in his family, and how to operate it...

He's actually accepted now that he either fights or joins a party.

……

Hanzhong.

The city defenses began to be rebuilt in the city, and Xu Zhen spared no expense to transfer many craftsmen from Tiangong Pavilion to Hanzhong.

For Liu Bei's various letters, his responses are also very, very perfect.

Hand it over to Zhuge Liang to go back.

I even didn't even read a lot of content. After I left it to Kong Ming to read it, I would just tell him about it.

The key to the current battle has nothing to do with Liu Bei's attitude.

At least Xu Zhen didn't care much.

On the contrary, Cao Cao's letters from Xudu, as well as the many news from Cao's clan and old friends, Xu Zhen never tired of reading.

After he ran away, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai seemed to be more exhausted, and their reputations were often victimized, especially Xi Zhicai, who found a reason to attack him. Xu Zhen was recommended by him. His running away meant that profound.

I don't know whether to rebel or not, in short, I won't come back.

In the words of many people, it means that the wings are hardened, and I fly solo, but the person recommended back then did not run away.

Then you must bear the pressure of public opinion.

Xi Zhicai's hair is half gray, even if it was Xu Zhen's fault.

Therefore, the letters are basically full of heartbroken and passionate words.

In this regard, Xu Zhen only replied a letter of solicitation, and there was a place for sacrificial wine under his command, so he asked Zhi to come here.

Then Xi Zhicai's letter came back again today.

Inside the government office, on the luxurious wooden floor, Xu Zhen knelt and sat in front of the file. He opened the letter and glanced at it, and immediately laughed cheerfully.

"Hahaha! This is so scolding, it's simple."

In the letter, Xi Zhicai scolded angrily again, and when he wrote it down, there were mostly scattered ink dots around the marks, which is enough to show how excited he was when writing the letter, and wished to bite Xu Zhen to death.

"Abandon the bright light of the past and go to the mountains and seas alone..."

"It's calling me against them."

Xu Zhen made a judgment, then nodded and said, "Reply and continue to solicit."

"By the way, I will send another letter to Brother Wen Ruo who is in Wei County. I heard that he has resigned from the position of Shang Shu Ling and started to take a leisure trip. Maybe he would like to come to Xiliang."

Xu Zhen learned the news from Xi Zhicai's letter.

Shang Shu Ling has been replaced by Xi Zhong, so after Xun Yu resigns, many things will change because of this, and his mind is complicated.

He must not be able to figure it out in Wei County.

Since you don’t understand, it’s better to take a trip as soon as you say it.

If you can go to Xiliang, maybe you can open your mind even more.

No matter how smart Xu Zhen is now, he doesn't understand what others lack in their hearts, but when Guo Jia asked Xun Yu to go to Jizhou first, he was still a shepherd in Jizhou.

It was agreed to let Xun Yu arrange school affairs.

This matter was the first plan to let brother Wen Ruo escape from the whirlpool.

If not, the current situation would be even more difficult.
