Soldiers come to the world

The inner hall is quiet, Fazheng has always been concerned about his future, because he was implicated in the Zhang Song case and was demoted by Liu Zhang to manage the books, he counted on Liu Jing to enter Shu, so that he could turn himself around completely, unexpectedly, Liu Jing still reused Bashu An official from the local department sent him to Hanzhong.

Fazheng originally thought that Liu Jing wanted to keep him in Hanzhong, but just after he got the news, Liu Jing re-appointed Yang Song as the prefect of Hanzhong County. Yang Song, who has a bad reputation, wants to make himself the governor of the county?

Liu Jing walked a few steps behind his back. He had been thinking about Fazheng's arrangement. In fact, as a superior, he didn't have to worry about specific affairs.

Fazheng's talent lies in military affairs rather than government affairs, which is why he has been difficult to get ahead in Bashu. Fazheng is an excellent counselor and should not do trivial government affairs. Liu Zhang did not find his advantage, which shows that Liu Zhang employs people unknown.

From the capture of Hanzhong this time, we can see Fazheng's ingenious plan. He seized the most critical point in the chaos, captured Nanzheng City, shoveled away Zhang Lu's foundation, and caused Zhang Lu's power to collapse .

Moreover, the strategy when capturing Nanzheng was also very exciting. Taking advantage of the contradiction between Zhang Wei and Yang Song, he successfully defrauded the city, and the details in the middle are even more remarkable. Pity.

More importantly, Hanzhong's status is not trivial. In the future, it will be the button of Bashu and Guanzhong. This kind of key place must be controlled by key people.

Of course, the key person will not be Yang Song. He made Yang Song the prefect just to imitate Liu Bang's strategy of using the teeth. Even corrupt officials like Yang Song are forgiven. Those northern officials who have always been selfish have nothing to worry about. Woolen cloth?

But the real power cannot be given to Yang Song. In the future, the real power office in Hanzhong County will not be the prefect's mansion, but the governor's mansion, so Fazheng will be the key figure in the governor's mansion. [

As for the officials under their own hands, they will soon understand the ingenuity of this, so there is no need to say anything.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing smiled lightly and said: "Cao Cao has four great advisers, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You and Cheng Yu, and now there are three left, so I also need four great advisers, I have Jia Xu, Sima Yi , There are still two people missing, Zhuge Liang is the best, but unfortunately he refuses to help me, Pang Tong can barely count as one! Then there is still one person missing, I don’t know if Xiaozhi would like to be one of them.”

Fazheng was stunned for a moment, and only now did he understand Liu Jing's deep meaning in letting him enter Hanzhong with the army. It turned out that he wanted to make himself one of the four masterminds. Fazheng was excited and looking forward to it, so he quickly gave a deep salute, " Fazheng is willing to serve the state shepherd!"

Liu Jing smiled again: "Although you are a military adviser, you have to stay in Hanzhong. Zilong will be the governor of Hanzhong, in charge of Hanzhong's military affairs. General Wu Yi will assist him in military affairs, but he lacks a long history to assist in government affairs. , let Xiaozhi take charge of it!"

. . . . . . . .

At night, Liu Jing sat at the table and wrote letters to his family. He not only had to write a letter to his wife Tao Zhan, but also to his second wife Shangxiang.

In addition, he was very concerned about one matter. Calculated from the time, the little Baoniang should have given birth, but he didn't know whether it was a son or a daughter. At this moment, Liu Jing's heart was full of warmth. He had always hoped that he could have a daughter. Don't let him down just once.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, which interrupted Liu Jing's train of thought. Liu Jing stopped writing and asked in displeasure, "What's the matter?"

"Zhou Mu, Liu Canjun is here, there is news from Guanzhong!"

The unhappiness in Liu Jing's heart immediately dissipated from this news, and he hurriedly said, "Quickly ask him to come in!"

Liu Canjun is naturally Liu Min. He was sent to Longyou to establish contact with Ma Chao again. Liu Jing is also very concerned about the situation in Guanzhong. This time he aggressively attacked Bashu and Hanzhong, but Cao Cao did not send troops to interfere. It's a bit strange, maybe Cao Cao temporarily intervened in Bashu Hanzhong, but in any case, Cao Cao would not stand idly by, he suspected that there would be news from Guanzhong.

Just when he was worried, Liu Min rushed over in time.

After a while, Liu Min walked into the room hurriedly. He just came from Guanzhong, bringing news from Guanzhong and Ma Chao's request.

"See Zhou Mu!" Liu Min bowed deeply.

Liu Jing saw that he was darker and thinner than last time, but he was in a very energetic state, so he smiled and said: "Liu Canjun has worked hard, please sit down!" [

"Xiezhou Mu!"

Liu Min sat down, took out a letter from her arms, and handed it to Liu Jing, "This is a letter written by Ma Chao, please have a look at it."

Liu Jing took the letter, but didn't open it in a hurry, looked at it on the table, and asked with a smile: "What's the situation in Guanzhong, has Cao Cao sent troops?"

Liu Min nodded, "Cao Cao's troops were very strange. He ordered Zhong Yao, the lieutenant of Sili, to conquer Zhang Lu. Zhong Yao led an army of [-] troops to march south, but he didn't go to Meridian Valley or Chencang Road. Instead, we left Sanguan in the west and went south on the Qishan Road."

Liu Jing immediately stood up, took a map and spread it on the table, and looked at it carefully for a while. Qishan is located in the southwest of Tianshui County, but after passing Sanguan, it is Ma Chao's territory. This is equivalent to borrowing Ma Chao's territory. Liu Jing Jing frowned, "That's weird, does Cao Cao want to attack Guo again?"

Liu Min sighed, "The point is that Cao Jun didn't say hello to Ma Chao, but directly led his troops out of Sanguan, saying that he was heading south from Qishan Mountain, but he stayed in Tianshui County for ten days. Send troops to expel Cao's army."

Liu Jing picked up the letter on the table, opened it and read it. As Liu Min said in the letter, Ma Chao decided to send troops to expel Cao Jun. He hoped that Liu Jing would also send troops to Guanzhong to fight against Cao Jun. Liu Jing pondered for a moment and asked: " Did Yedu send troops?"

"Yedu has also sent troops. Cao Cao ordered Xia Houyuan, the Western Guard, to lead an army of [-] troops from Hedong to Guanzhong to join Zhong Yao."

As soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, another soldier reported outside the door: "Report to Zhou Mu, Li Fu sent someone from Yedu to send urgent information."

The news came almost at the same time. Liu Jing realized that Cao Cao was going to make a big move, so he hurriedly said, "Bring it in!"

After a while, a young man hurried in led by a soldier. The young man knelt down on one knee, took out a letter and presented it, "I am ordering Li Canjun to deliver a letter to Zhou Mu!"

Liu Jing took the letter and read it again. He nodded and asked again: "How is Li Canjun doing in Yedu now?"

"Reporting to Zhou Mu, Li Canjun has established an intelligence network in Yedu, with more than [-] subordinates, and it is running very smoothly."

Liu Jing smiled gratifiedly. Li Fu was really capable and lived up to his expectations. He immediately ordered the left and right, "Give him ten taels of gold and take him down to rest."

"Xiezhou Shepherd's Reward!" The sender saluted and retreated with the soldiers.

At this moment, Liu Jing glanced at Liu Min who was full of anticipation and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll find another person to discuss with."

He said to the soldiers again: "Go and invite Mr. Fa!"

The soldiers went to lead the order, Liu Jing turned to Liu Min and said: "Mr. Fa is the famous minister of Yizhou, Fa Xiaozhi, who has the talents of the world, but unfortunately Liu Zhang is stupid and doesn't know talents. In the future, Fa Xiaozhi will also become my deputy military advisor. Staff military."

Liu Min said comfortingly: "The state shepherd can give full play to its talents. This is the key to our success. I hope that the state shepherd will further promote talents in an eclectic manner. We will surely surpass Cao Cao and become the number one force in the world, and eventually unify the world."

"You are right. Talent is the foundation of prosperity. I have ordered Xiangyang to organize the examination for talents. This fall, I will seek talents from all over the world. Scholars from all over the world can come to Xiangyang to take the exam, regardless of whether they are high or low. Only talents are selected."

Fazheng was also temporarily stationed in the military yamen, a few courtyards away from Liu Jing, and soon he followed his soldiers to Liu Jing's courtyard, "Master Fa, Zhou Mu, is here!" The soldiers reported outside the door.

"Please come in!"

Fazheng walked into the room, bowed to Liu Jing, and looked at Liu Min. He didn't know Liu Min, "This is"

Liu Jing introduced him with a smile: "This is Liu Canjun, who is known as our number one envoy in Jingzhou. Sir, you may have heard of it."

"Could it be the nephew of Liu Biejia from Jingzhou?"

Liu Min bowed and saluted, "It's the junior Liu Min. I've heard of Mr. Fa's name a long time ago, and I hope you can support the junior a lot."

"Where! Liu Canjun is a promising young man. I heard that even Cao Cao praised joining the army as a man of courage and courage. He is indeed a rising star."

The two spoke modestly, Liu Jing asked them to sit down, and then he introduced the situation on Ma Chao's side to Fazheng, and finally said: "Just now Li Fu sent someone to send an urgent letter, saying that Cao Cao ordered his eldest son, Cao Pi, to temporarily In charge of government affairs, and ordered Cheng Yu to assist Cao Pi, this reminds me of Cao Cao's southern expedition the year before last."

Fazheng nodded, "Obviously, Cao Cao is preparing to go west, but I think his goal is not Hanzhong, but Ma Chao."

Only then did Liu Min suddenly realize, "Then Zhong Yao sent troops to Tianshui County to force Ma Chao back?"

Liu Jing sneered, "It's been two months since I sent troops to Bashu, and Cao Cao just sent troops to attack Hanzhong. During the blockade, I was not allowed to go north again, but Cao Cao did not expect that I would take Hanzhong so quickly."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing glanced at Fazheng, and said again: "The question now is that Ma Chao invited me to go north and attack Guanzhong. Do you think I can agree?"

Fazheng lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then he shook his head, "Frankly speaking, I don't approve of teaming up with Ma Chao."

"Why?" Liu Jing asked Fazheng with piercing eyes.

Fazheng smiled and said, "I personally think that the biggest resistance for the Jingzhou army to go north to the Guanzhong is actually not Cao Cao, but Ma Chao."

The room fell silent, and even Liu Min fell into deep thought. Liu Jing walked forward with his hands behind his back and looked at the deep night outside. Of course he understood what Fazheng meant. If he sent troops to capture Guanzhong with Ma Chao, then Guanzhong To whom?Is it Liu Jing or Ma Chao?

Obviously, Ma Chao is in the lead, he is just assisting, and the bulk of the interests naturally belong to Ma Chao, and most of the land in Guanzhong will be taken by Ma Chao, which completely destroys his original intention of seizing Guanzhong, and lays the root of the infighting between him and Ma Chao in the end. .

Even if Ma Chao generously gave Guanzhong to him if he retreated [-] steps, Ma Chao would be a knife in his back when he entered the Central Plains in the future. This will become his western trouble, but if he starts to eradicate Ma Chao first, wouldn't it be Liu Jing who repays virtue with grievances?Lose the hearts of the world.

So what Fazheng said is completely correct. The biggest obstacle for him to go north to Guanzhong is not Cao Cao, but Ma Chao.

"What does Xiaozhi think I should do?" Liu Jing asked in a deep voice.

"What Weichen means is to stand still and use Cao Cao's hand to eradicate Ma Chao."

There was concern in Liu Min's eyes, and he asked, "But...we have an alliance with Ma Chao. If we stand still, will we lose the prestige of the state pastor?"

Fazheng smiled slightly, "It's very simple. There are many reasons. For example, the battle of Yizhou has not yet ended, the seven counties of Nanyizhou have not yet recovered, Yong Kai and others have raised troops to attack Berkshire, etc. These are all facts. Mu can go to conquer Yongkai and the southern counties of Yizhou first, anyway, Ma Chao is not asking for help, there is no moral problem, so Ma Chao will not insist on it anymore."

Liu Jing nodded, "Xiao Zhi is worthy of being a mastermind!"
