Cao Thief

Chapter 711 Precursor of Disintegration

"I was entrusted by Mr. Xuan Shuo, and there is a letter to prove it."

The person who came did not report his name, but said a name that surprised Cao Peng.

Mr. Xuanshuo?

Isn't that Li Ru!

Li Ru left Hexi two years earlier and went to Chengdu to preside over the overall situation.In the past two years, he rarely sent letters, and Cao Peng only learned about Li Ru's situation from the news from the Hexi Chamber of Commerce.It is said that Li Ru is doing well in Chengdu, and he feels like a fish in water.

And the name he used in Chengdu was Xuan Shuo.

"Sir, please follow my government office."

Cao Peng waved his hand, asking the man to leave with him.

The person who came was not polite, took the reins from a servant, and got on the horse.At the same time, Cao Peng praised Fu Yan a few more words and asked him to lead others to continue the inspection, and then led his followers away.Along the way, Cao Peng and the man did not talk, but walked silently.

When he came to the government office, Cao Peng invited someone to talk with him in the study.

He asked someone to prepare honey syrup, and after taking a sip, he asked, "Where is the letter?"

"Here is the letter."

The visitor took out a letter from the interlayer of his robe.It can be seen that he is very careful, and even made a special interlayer in the interlayer.In this way, even if someone tore open the interlayer of the robe, there was still a layer of cover.He presented the letter to Cao Peng with both hands, Cao Peng took it, but did not open it immediately to read, but put the letter on the table, staring at the visitor with piercing eyes.

"Not yet, sir name."

"Let the Fa rectify, and help the wind and the people."

This was originally just a very ordinary announcement of the name, but it made Cao Peng's heart tremble, and the rhythm of his fingers tapping on the book case was also chaotic.

"Fazheng, Faxiaozhi?"

This time, it was Fazheng's turn to be surprised.

"Does the young master know how to be filial and straight?"

Of course I know, how could I not know.

You guy, but Liu Bei took over Xichuan and established the Shu Han hero.Liu Bei succeeded in capturing Yizhou, and he awarded Fazheng a high position. Among the Shuhan Group, his status is second only to Zhuge Liang.Later, it was this Fazheng who offered advice, instigated Liu Bei to attack Hanzhong, and offered a plan to behead Xia Houyuan.After Liu Bei served as the King of Hanzhong, Fazheng was appointed as Minister of the Book and General of the Army... Even Zhuge Liang admired Fazheng's ingenious strategies.Such a person, how could Cao Peng not know his name and origin?

But isn't Fazheng from Yizhou?
No matter how he listened to his accent, he seemed to be from Guanzhong... and he himself said that he was from Fufengmei.This "Mei people" means people from Fufeng Mei County.Is this guy from Guanzhong?Or, is it not the same person as Fazheng in history?

But he also said, his name is Fa Xiaozhi!

Coming from Yizhou again, I think there is nothing wrong with it.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng had already stood up, walked around the desk and walked to Fazheng, "I didn't expect Mr. Xiaozhi to be in front of him. Pengfang offended me so much, so don't blame him."

When Fazheng heard it, he couldn't help feeling excited.

He hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Fazheng is nothing more than a lowly person, how can you get such a big gift from the young master?"

Fazheng is not a polite statement, but a statement from the heart.He was originally from Mei County, Fufeng County, and his father, Fa Yan, was also a senior scholar in Guanzhong at that time.Later, because he offended the powerful, he was dismissed from office, and finally died in depression.In the first year of Jian'an, Guanzhong was in chaos.When Emperor Han returned to the east, Li Jue and Guo Si had conflicts again and attacked each other, causing the land of Guanzhong to be full of smoke and chaos.Under such circumstances, Fazheng and Meng Da, a fellow villager, went to Shu for refuge together and defected to Liu Zhang.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Chengdu, Fazheng realized that the world was difficult.

He didn't have any roots, and although he was taken in by Liu Zhang, he was not valued by Liu Zhang.In contrast, Meng Da, a fellow villager, was valued by Zhang Ren, Liu Zhang's confidant, because of his outstanding martial arts skills, and was reused in the army. He was promoted to the rank of captain.Relying on Meng Da's help, Fazheng barely survives in Chengdu.However, because of his downfall during this period of time, he has strengthened many celebrities in Chengdu.The upcoming Zhang Song is one of them.

In the seventh year of Jian'an, Fazheng stayed in Yizhou for seven years before being appointed as the county magistrate of Xindu under Zhang Song's recommendation.

However, the new capital is also an extremely complicated place, and Fazheng himself is not a person who is good at internal politics.Facing the complicated relationship, he stayed in Xindu for three years, and finally had to leave sadly.Fortunately, with Zhang Song's help, after returning to Chengdu, he served as an acting military officer.

What is a military officer?

In short, it is similar to the post of staff officer of later generations.

When there is something to do in the army, you go to listen in and make some suggestions.Of course, whether it will be adopted is another matter.

Isn't there a saying in later generations?
The staff officer doesn't have a commander, and he doesn't fart loudly.

What's more, Fazheng, the military commander, is still an agent.

Even if he had a good idea, who would take it to heart?Therefore, the position of the Military Council Captain was actually a position given to Zhang Song for his sake.The salary is only six hundred shi. In a prosperous place like Chengdu, one can imagine that life is difficult.

After Li Ru began to disrupt Yizhou's economy, the cost of living in Chengdu also increased.

Although Fazheng does not need to rely on other people's relief, it is not easy to live in Chengdu.

It was in this situation that Fazheng met Li Ru.However, he didn't know Li Ru's real identity, he only knew that his name was Yuan Xuanshuo, and he was quite capable.Li Ru spent a whole year investigating Fazheng, and found that this person had a conspiracy, so it was not easy.

So he began to try to win over Fazheng, and gradually tested Fazheng's thoughts.

Cao Cao conquered Youzhou and set up three counties in Huainan; Cao Peng entered Nanyang and fought endlessly with Liu Bei...Under such circumstances, Liu Zhang was not thinking about how to grow and stabilize the skyrocketing prices in Chengdu, but instead wanted to seek personal gain. In a corner of peace.

Fazheng felt that following Liu Zhang, it would be difficult to accomplish anything.

During several conversations with Li Ru, unconsciously revealed the idea of ​​wanting to find another enlightened master.

But who do you go to?
Liu Bei?

Now there is not even a shelter, and Fazheng has not considered it.

So Sun Quan?

Although Sun Quan holds the six counties in Jiangdong, it is also difficult to grow due to geographical restrictions.Although the Yangtze River natural moat provided a barrier for the six counties in Jiangdong, it also blocked the possibility of Jiangdong seeking the Central Plains.Under such circumstances, it seems that Cao Cao is the only one to choose.

However, Cao Cao has countless talented people under his command.

Fazheng has no reputation, no background, and no qualifications, and it is very difficult to gain a foothold.

To use a very "Three Kingdoms" saying, that is: Suffering from people who have no introductions...

At the same time, he didn't know much about Cao Cao, and he didn't know what kind of person Cao Cao was.At this time, Li Ru made a suggestion for him.

"I've heard people say that Prime Minister Cao has a man who is extremely talented and has a big heart.

He is from Prime Minister Cao's family, and he is very trusted by Prime Minister Cao.He once made a humble room inscription, and Ailian said that he was praised by the world and had a noble character; this person has three articles handed down from generation to generation, and is known to scholars all over the world.He once helped his elder brother to build Haixi and create the rich land of Lianghuai today.

This man values ​​righteousness only because Lü Bu lent him two hundred tigers back then, and after Lv Bu died, he risked his life and property to send Lv Bu's family members overseas.

This person is affectionate, and because of his sworn brother was murdered by others, he did not hesitate to abandon his studies and go out to take revenge.

This man has great virtues. During the battle of Guandu, he beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou. He knelt down in front of the hall for the lives of tens of thousands of people in Suanzao. Prime Minister Cao had to agree to escort the people to evacuate.In the Battle of Yanjin, this man rescued Prime Minister Cao from danger regardless of his life.But because the elders of his family were murdered by others, in a rage, he rushed to the mansion of the general who protects the country, beheaded the slave, and lived in seclusion for three years.

This person has righteousness!
When Liu Guang, the Marquis of Linyi, went to the Xiongnu as an envoy, in order to save the court's face, he gave up his life.

Later, he went out to town Hexi, pacified Qianghu, stabilized the frontier fortress, fought horses, took Jincheng, and recaptured Longxi...

If filial piety can be valued by this person, then there will be a great future.I've heard people say that among those who come out of his sect, the worst one today is a thousand-stone official.

I don't know if Xiaozhi has intentions? "

Fazheng was a little confused at first, but after hearing it, he suddenly realized.

"Sir, could it be that the famous Cao Sanpian, son friend?"

Fa is a native of Guanzhong, and he is also quite concerned about the situation in Guanzhong over the years.Under the management of Cao's father and son, Guanzhong was prosperous and stable... and Liangzhou, which was called a place of bitter cold and barbaric, has now become a prosperous place.In particular, the opening of the Hexi Commercial Road connected the Western Regions and the Central Plains.Back then, Ban Dingyuan set up the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but he severed his connection with the Central Plains a hundred years ago.The opening of the Hexi Corridor has greatly benefited the entire Guanzhong.More importantly, with the restart of the Hexi trade route, the 36 countries in the Western Regions also had to be cautious.Last year, countries such as Qiuci and Da Yuezhi sent envoys one after another to request their surrender.

The greatness of the great Han Dynasty in the past seems to be reappearing.

And all of this, Gain Cao and his son put a lot of effort into Liangzhou.

The love for the homeland of the ancients is far beyond the imagination of later generations.Under Li Ru's persuasion, Fazheng decided to return home.

Therefore, in the spring of the 12th year of Jian'an, Fazheng immediately went to Chengdu and returned to Guanzhong.It was only after he arrived in his hometown, Mei County, that he knew the changes in his hometown were simply earth-shaking.The benefits of Cao Peng's efforts to build Hexi in the past have also begun to emerge after several years of management by Cao Ji.

In the 11th year of Jian'an, Liangzhou ushered in an unprecedented harvest.

The population has increased from more than 500 million when Cao Peng left in the ninth year of Jian'an, to nearly 36 million, which is faintly comparable to the population of Yuzhou and Yizhou, and even exceeds the total population of Yizhou.Cao Ji didn't mobilize a single soldier in Liangzhou, but the powerful power he displayed made the [-] countries in the Western Regions tremble with fear.Many businessmen from the Western Regions were willing to come to the Central Plains to do business, and they also brought huge wealth to Guanzhong.

The population of Guanzhong reached 12 million in the 300th year of Jian'an.

In other words, counting Liangzhou, the total population of Qinchuan in Babaili is nearly ten million, which is basically the same as the population of the entire Central Plains.

Of course, behind this huge population base, there will inevitably be countless blood and tears.Cao Peng set up a human trafficking policy at the beginning, and with the help of Tan Zhe and others, more than one million slaves were plundered from the Mobei grassland.This is another terrifying number. One million slaves also heralded the destruction of countless families.Cao Peng spent a lot of money in exchange for the stability of the entire Guanzhong.The area of ​​Hexi County has gradually expanded beyond the Shizui Mountain Pass to the Mobei area.

It can be said that as long as Cao Cao is willing, he can mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops in Guanzhong in the shortest time, and march north of the fortress.

Fazheng is convinced by such brilliant achievements.

After thinking twice, he finally decided to come to Xiangyang to join Cao Peng.

Although his ultimate goal is to serve Cao Cao.And he also knew that if he defected to Cao Peng, he would definitely have a heavy brand of Cao Peng on his body.But so what?A three-no personnel like him who has no foundation, no reputation, and no qualifications, without a backer, would never be able to achieve great things.Don't look at Cao Peng as a courtier of Cao Cao, but judging from Cao Cao's love for his family, being under Cao Peng's tent is tantamount to entering Cao Cao's faction.Don't forget, Cao Peng is also the first teacher of Cao Cao's third son, Cao Zhang...

This kind of close relationship is destined to have a deep foundation for Cao Peng in the future.

With such a backer, I can have a bigger future...

However, before meeting Cao Peng, Fazheng was still a little uneasy.

Although he had Li Ru's letter of introduction in his hand, he didn't know Li Ru's identity.All I know is that Li Ru must be related to Cao Peng. No matter how many things there are, I don't know much.And he had never met Cao Peng, so most of his knowledge about Cao Peng came from rumors.

Cao Peng, can you take a fancy to me, a member of the Sanwu?

Fazheng was a little confused.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Cao Peng, Cao Peng didn't read Li Ru's letters at all, but he knew his name.

Fazheng was so excited that he put a big stone back into his stomach.

Cao Peng said with a smile: "When Peng was the prefect of Hexi, he once heard Mr. Zhang Ji, Zhang Derong, the captain of the Sili school, mentioned his father's name. Mr. Derong also said that Fa Xiaozhi has great abilities, but it is a pity that he went to Yizhou far away and could not be his hometown. It’s a pity to contribute. I thought it would be difficult to meet Xiaozhi when I left Guanzhong, but I didn’t want to be able to see Xiaozhi in Fancheng. Wouldn’t it be God’s gift for Xiaozhi to help me? Hehe, this friend is lucky.”

Zhang Ji, the former prefect of Anding.

In the 11th year of Jian'an, he served as the captain of Sili for Wei Ke.

Cao Peng also had no other ideas, so he had to borrow Zhang Ji's name.Moreover, this is also the best excuse, Zhang Ji is originally from Guanzhong, and it is impossible for Fazheng to go to Zhang Ji and ask Zhang Ji: Did you praise me in front of Cao Peng?
When Fazheng heard about it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The doubts in my heart also disappeared. It turned out that Zhang Ji had introduced me to Cao Peng.

No wonder Cao Peng knew my name without reading the letter of introduction.At the same time, in Fazheng's heart, he felt more resentment towards Liu Zhang.

It's no wonder that Fazheng has been severely suppressed by Liu Zhang these years.

Now that he can be valued by others, while he is grateful in his heart, he also has resentment towards Liu Zhang.

Cao Peng bowed his hands and asked Fazheng to sit down.

Then he picked up Li Ru's letter and looked at it by the light.

In his letter, Li Ru strongly praised Fazheng, saying that he is extremely capable, not inferior to Pang Tong.Cao Peng nodded slightly, and after reading it carefully, he put the letter in front of the lamp and burned it.It's good to know this kind of thing in your heart, and it's best not to leave any traces and evidence.

"It's the prime minister's luck that sir can come to help the prime minister."

Cao Peng's words are not nonsense.

In "Huayang Guozhi", there is a record of Cao Cao's evaluation of Fazheng: I have collected all the traitors in the world, but I can't make Fazheng evil?
Whether the content of Huayang Guozhi is true will not be said, but it can be seen from this that Cao Cao also appreciated Fazheng very much later.

However, it is not an easy task for the current Fazheng to be reused under Cao Cao's account.Cao Cao has Xun Yu planning the rear, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others to advise him, Xun You as the chief of staff, and Cheng Yuke to enforce strict laws.These five masterminds now have enormous influence.In particular, Guo Jia did not die as early as in history, which shows that Cao Cao has a lot of talents around him.

Fa Zheng is a three-no person. Under such circumstances, it is indeed very difficult to enter Cao Cao's core power circle.

Even if it was recommended by Cao Peng, Cao Cao couldn't reuse it right away.

Therefore, Cao Peng said straight to the point: "Peng firmly believes in Xiaozhi's strategy.

However, if you recommend it rashly, I am afraid that the prime minister may not value it.After all, Xiaozhi has not made an inch of merit yet, and the prime minister intends to reuse him, so he may not be able to convince the public. "

Cao Peng spoke from the bottom of his heart, Fazheng listened and nodded again and again.

"Zheng also knows about this."

Cao Peng smiled, and interrupted Fazheng's words with a wave of his hand, "Peng has already known that Xiaozhi is a great talent.

But there are some things, it is better to speak openly, so as not to misunderstand Xiaozhi's heart.When the prime minister is stationed in Xiangyang, sooner or later there will be a big battle... Friends ride the governor of the tiger and leopard, and they will also go to battle at that time.If Xiaozhi does not give up, Peng hopes to get Xiaozhi's advice and help me.Come to think of it, you also know that most of my staff are in Liangzhou.And the people around him include Han Sheng who is brave, Wang Shuang who is loyal and straight, and Kou Feng who is a local snake.There is only one person who can share my worries and make suggestions for me, so I want to ask Xiao Zhi to stay, is it possible? "

Cao Peng made his words very clear.

You have talent, talent, I know that.

But I will not recommend you now... After Cao Cao took Jingzhou, only Jingzhou scholars promoted 15 people, and these are all famous masters.You are different, you have no reputation, no qualifications, even if you occupy a high position, you will be taboo.

Fazheng nodded, deeply convinced.

"Being able to share worries for the son is also the luck of the three lives."

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing, "I'm filial and straight, like a tiger with wings!"

This sentence is very old-fashioned, but it also expresses Cao Peng's thoughts.

After becoming the prefect of Nanyang County, although he got help from many people, such as Deng Zhi, Du Ji, and Lu Yu...but these people are not the mastermind after all.Deng Zhi was relatively better, like Lu Yu, who was a scholar in later generations, while Du Ji was more good at managing soldiers.As Cao Cao captured Nanyang County, Du Ji served as the deputy governor of the Jingzhou Navy, assisting Cai Mao in commanding the navy, or monitoring Cai Mao.As for Deng Zhi, he was valued by Cao Cao, and served as Cao Cao's prime minister's meritorious service, and the military adviser Zhonglang general.

The remaining Lu Yu also returned to Xudu to prepare for the newspaper.

As a result, Cao Peng once again faced the embarrassing situation when he went to Nanyang: there was no one available around him.

Both Pu Yangyi and Lu Hao are not good enough to be alone, they can be aides.But the position of the mastermind has been unresolved, causing Cao Peng quite a headache.

Winning Jingzhou benefits everyone.

However, Cao Peng didn't gain anything, and Deng Zhi and Pang De were involved.

After finally subduing Zhao Yun, he couldn't use it for a while, which also made Cao Peng feel a little uncomfortable.Now that there is Fazheng, it can make him feel a little happy.At least there is one more person by my side who can negotiate, and I can avoid many unnecessary troubles in the future.

"I would like to invite you, sir, to take the place of offering sacrifices to the tiger and leopard cavalry commander temporarily.

Tomorrow I will play the prime minister and ask him to formally appoint him.Before that, Mr. lived with me, and Peng could ask for advice at any time. "

Fazheng hurriedly cupped his hands: "How dare you disobey?"
