Zhuge Liang was so nervous that he couldn't tell any name, so it would be better not to ask.
He still had a little hesitation when he asked about the first merit. After all, Liu Bei would go overseas in the future. It sounds so powerful that he can make achievements overseas, but it is very hard. It is better to stay in the Central Plains for peace.
Shi Sun Rui is a native of Fufeng and is considered a senior in the village. If the emperor intends to let Shi Sun Rui get his first contribution, he can have one more choice. It is not necessary to follow Liu Bei's path to the dark.
When he learned that the emperor had expanded the Northern Army to eight schools and transferred the elite troops of the prefectures and counties to the Northern Army, he was thinking about this question. During the march, he heard that the emperor was stranded in the Neihuang area and refused to move forward, so he became more confident.
I asked Zhuge Liang and just confirmed it last.
Without Zhuge Liang's words, he could also inquire with Meng Da. However, Meng Da was just an ordinary cavalry attendant, and the news was far less accurate than Zhuge Liang's.
The two tacitly changed the subject and talked about Langya.
Last year, Yuan Xi invaded Langya and received support from many major clans. Some major clans even joined Yuan Xi's camp with their troops, hoping to get a piece of the pie and improve the family's strength.
But things went against my wishes. Yuan Xi was not only unable to conquer Xuzhou, but also unable to save Langya. After the news of Yuan Shao being under house arrest by Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi retreated to Yecheng.
The great clans who supported Yuan Xi were also panicked. Some of them followed Yuan Xi to Yecheng, while some hid in the mountains and survived.
Therefore, the Xuzhou soldiers were divided into two. Zang Ba, Chang Xi and others were responsible for suppressing bandits, while the main forces led by Zhang Fei and Chen Deng rushed to Jizhou to fight.
"Whose decision is this?" Zhuge Liang asked.
"My suggestion." Fa Zheng smiled, a little sinister. "Chen Deng was eager to take revenge and came as soon as he said it. Langya was not Xia Pi after all, and he could not touch his Chen family's interests."
Zhuge Liang raised his head and looked at Fa Zheng. Thinking of the emperor's evaluation of Fa Zheng, he felt a little more admiration when he was in a complicated mood.
When the emperor arranged for Fa Zheng to assist Liu Bei, he was still a little confused. Fa Zheng joined the post 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 Fa Zheng.
To stick to one's own opinion, Fa Zheng was finally sent.
He once thought that this was because Fa was the people of Guanzhong, and the emperor intended to release goodwill to the people of Guanzhong in exchange for their support.
Now it seems that those ideas are too complicated.
The emperor sent Fa Zheng to go because Fa Zheng was most competent for such a task.
If it were Pang Tong, he would not have done anything like using revenge as bait to trick Chen Deng into Jizhou.
Chen Deng was eager to take revenge and did not hesitate to go against the emperor's established plan and actively sought war. Without the main force led by the emperor, the advantage of Liu Bei's battle with Zhang He was not obvious. If Fa Zheng interfered with it and let Liu Bei watch the success or failure, then
Chen Deng is highly likely to suffer a heavy blow.
In this way, not only did Chen Deng himself lose his voice, but the confidence of Chen's family in Xia Pi would be seriously insufficient. In the future, the resistance of the imperial court to promote Dutian in Xia Pi would be much smaller.
One kills multiple goals.
Zhuge Liang did not care about Chen Deng's success or failure, but he had to care about his brother Zhuge Jin's future.
Zhuge Jin was Chen Deng's aide. If Chen Deng was defeated, there would be no problem with Zhuge Jin being implicated, but he was afraid of dying on the battlefield.
Zhang He had cavalry and a criminal record of killing prisoners. Once Chen Deng's troops were defeated, Zhuge Jin was in danger of being killed.
If you want to be safe, you can only let Zhuge Jin escape from Chen Deng, but this is unrealistic.
He had tried it, but was rejected by Zhuge Jin.
The righteousness of the monarch and minister has been determined. Unless Chen Deng does something that Zhuge Jin cannot accept, Zhuge Jin is unlikely to leave on his own initiative.
Revenge is obviously not unacceptable, but should be advocated.
Zhuge Liang was a little helpless, but he couldn't put it on his face, so he could only think of other ways.
He mentioned another thing. "Who is Bian Bing, a Kaiyang native?"
Fa Zheng thought about it. "He entered the police a little late and should be under Zhang Yide's command. The specific situation is not clear. Why, do you know him?"
"I know his sister Mrs. Bian."
Fa Zheng smiled. He knew who Bian Bing was, and naturally he also knew who Mrs. Bian was.
"If I remember well, she should be nearly forty years old, right?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and raised his hand to signal Fa Zheng not to think about it. "Mrs. Bian is in the imperial camp and the emperor eats the food she cooks every day. Her parents died early, and she is just a younger brother. If Xiaozhi has the chance, he might as well take care of him.
One or two.”
Fa Zheng's eyes frightened. "She is still in the imperial camp?"
"You will go back to the camp with the emperor later, maybe you can try her skills."
Fa Zheng smacked his lips and nodded. "I do my best." Then he smiled and said, "When I was in Kaiyang, I heard that she was born with a yellow room, and Wang Dan thought it was auspicious. Later, Cao Cao heard about this.
, take her as a concubine. Now it seems that Cao Cao is thinking too much like Liu Yan, so this auspiciousness should not be his."
Zhuge Liang glanced at Fa Zheng and smiled and said, "Xiaozhi, how can you take this kind of village words seriously? It's just a matter of saying it privately, and there's no need to mention it in front of the emperor."
Fa Zheng laughed and said nothing.
Liu Xie hunted for more than half a day and had a good harvest. When the sun sets down, they returned to the camp with their prey. Mrs. Bian has received the news and has taken people outside the camp to wait, count the prey one by one, then slaughter and deal with it, preparing to cook it.
.
Fa Zheng saw Mrs. Bian and was a little surprised at Mrs. Bian's youth.
As far as he knows, Mrs. Bian is not only about to be confused, but also has given birth to 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 has a face.
There are no many wrinkles, they are quick to move and have clear ideas, just like a woman in her early thirties.
"I have heard that there are many immortals in Langya, so why can't she be the same?" Fa Zheng said half-jokingly.
Zhuge Liang smiled, but ignored Fazheng's joke. He walked to Mrs. Bian, said a few words softly, and pointed at Fazheng in the middle.
Mrs. Bian glanced at Fa Zheng from a distance, bowed slightly, and bowed.
Fa Zheng didn't take it seriously, and followed Zhuge Liang into the camp and went to find Meng Da.
Meng Da had already prepared for Fazheng's purpose. He did not hide at all and told Fazheng clearly that although the emperor did not explain it clearly, everyone felt that this attack on Jizhou was the best opportunity for Shi Sun Rui.
He did not make any principled mistakes, and he must be the next Grand Marshal.
The so-called principled error is the last time I favored the big clan in Hedong.
This matter is difficult, not difficult, it depends on how Shi Sun Rui chooses.
"How is the progress of Guanzhong Dutian?" Fa Zheng asked.
"Since Huya Captain Xia Yu was recalled to Chang'an, Dutian's progress has been much faster." Meng Da grinned. "There are almost no Guanzhong people who oppose Dutian, and some are fishing, and they deceive those Guandong fools."
"Where is the Ma family of Maoling, Fufeng? They are also willing to save the fields?"
"I didn't want to do it, so I even asked someone to scold Zhao Taipu for a while. After Ma Guiren entered the palace, they didn't say anything."
"Guru Ma?" Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently. "They knew each other. If they continued to argue, they might be the second Yuan family."
Meng Da laughed.
Fa Zheng said again: "What about your Meng family? Your father had been searching in Liangzhou for several years and finally bought the land, and he was sent out like this?"
Meng Da was a little embarrassed and then said embarrassedly: "Although it's a pity, it's better than being dug up the ancestral tomb by the Liangzhou people."
