Fa Zheng thanked and said, "I am a small official in Shu, what's worth commending? I heard that horses will tweet when they meet Bole, and people will die when they meet their confidants. Zhang Song said before, "The General has
Didn't have this idea?" After hearing this, Liu Bei knew that Fa Zheng and Zhang Song were already angry, so he didn't hide it at the moment and said, "I have always been a passerby living in others. I feel very sighing, and I often do
Thinking that there is such a branch of connections, the cunning rabbit has three holes, let alone humans? Shu is a rich place, not that I don’t want to obtain it, but because Liu Zhang is a brother of my sect, I really can’t bear to plot against him.”
Fa Zhengdao: "Yizhou is a country of Tianfu, which is very complicated. Without a master who can control chaos, it will not last long. Today, Liu Zhang cannot appoint talents, so this foundation will not exist for a long time and will belong to others. Now it is handed over to
General, you can't miss this good opportunity. Haven't you heard of Zhang Song's suggestion? If the general is going to go to Xichuan, we will do our best to help."
Liu Bei did not refuse and said, "Please let us discuss this matter well."
The banquet dispersed that day, Kong Ming personally sent Fa Zheng back to the inn. Liu Bei was there alone pondering. Pang Tong said, "The opportunity is placed in front of you. If you cannot make a quick decision, then you are a fool. The lord is so high-minded.
, Why are you still hesitating?”
Liu Bei said: "How should you reply based on your meaning?"
Pang Tong said: "The general knows that there is Sun Quan in the east of Jingzhou and Cao Cao in the north, so it is difficult to have any ambitions. Yizhou has a household registration of one million and a vast land area, which can help us achieve great things. Now Zhang Song and Fa Zheng are ours.
This is a great opportunity given by God, why should you hesitate?"
Liu Bei said: "The enemy that is incompatible with me now is Cao Cao. Cao Cao is in a hurry, so I will be tolerant. Cao Cao is violent, so I will be kind and righteous. Cao Cao conspires, so I will be loyal. I am the opposite of Cao Cao's performance, so things can be accomplished.
, If I break the trust of the world because of a small profit, then I really can't bear it."
Liu Bei actually explained his long-term guiding ideology, and Pang Tong also understood it. Kong Ming explained this more than once. Pang Tong thought he had a way to convince Liu Bei, so he smiled and said, "The words said by the lord are in line with the laws of nature, but unfortunately it is now.
In a chaotic period, we mainly rely on the strength of each person to fight for the world, not to stick to one direction. If we must stick to common sense, we cannot do so, that will not work. We should follow the power in everything, and we should merge with weak people and attack ignorant.
The people who took them in turn, followed the past and abide by the morality of Tang and Wu. After the matter was settled, they would report it with great righteousness and be named a great country. How could they be said to be a breach of trust in the world? If you don't take it now, then you will definitely
I will be taken away by someone else, I hope my lord can think about this clearly.”
Liu Bei nodded, as if he had a sudden realization and said, "What you said makes sense, it's heartfelt, but I'd better think about it." After that, he turned around and returned to the room to rest.
When Pang Tong saw that Liu Bei did not express his opinion, he was very impatient. He ignored Kong Ming's sleep that night and went to Kong Ming to explain the matter.
Kong Ming smiled and said, "It's not just me, but also my lord's fourth brother Yu Yi has advised me too many times. There is no way to change it. You must know that lord's benevolence and righteousness are also good things, but this is not the case in this generation."
Pang Tong seemed helpless and said, "I used to think that I could persuade my lord to change my mind through my 3-inch tongue. Now it seems that I am naive."
Kong Ming said: "Don't be too disappointed, I'll go and persuade you tomorrow."
Pang Tong shook his head and said, "I don't think you need to go anymore, it's useless. I heard that the lord's fourth brother Yu Yi is stationing troops in Ziwu Valley. Why don't we go and assist his fourth brother together and directly enter Hanzhong.
, take down Xichuan and achieve the cause of kings and domineering!"
Kong Ming squinted his eyes and smiled. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and said, "Feng Chu, I think there is another way?"
Pang Tong seemed very puzzled and said sarcastically: "Do you have any other way?"
Kong Ming said: "Now that Zhang Song and Fa Zheng have both persuaded you, you have said all the good things. I believe that the lord has been shaken and needs the last little help."
After hearing this, Pang Tong suddenly realized that the so-called hero had the same view and said, "Are you saying that his fourth brother wrote a letter to the lord to explain the key points?"
Kong Ming nodded and said, "Yes."
Pang Tong said: "The journey to Ziwu Valley in Jingzhou is long, so you can arrange someone to move forward quickly."
Kong Ming said: "Okay, leave this matter to me."
The two discussed some things and then took a break.
Huang Yueying was awakened by Kong Ming halfway through sleep. When Kong Ming secretly returned, he pulled Kong Ming's ears up and asked, "Where are you going so late?"
Kong Ming said: "It was Pang Tong who came to me to discuss the entry into Xichuan."
Huang Yueying said: "Our hometown is in Jingzhou. What are you going to Xichuan? Do you have to leave your hometown?"
Kong Ming smiled and explained: "Jingzhou is surrounded by enemies and cannot be guarded. Xichuan is the place where he can truly gain a foothold."
After hearing this, Huang Yueying also understood her strategic intentions and fell asleep with Kong Ming in her arms.
After Huang Yueying fell asleep, Kong Ming put her hand aside, got up quietly again, came to an empty room, and opened the video.
Yu Yi was sleeping at this time, and suddenly the sound of shaking on the edge of the bed sounded. He was sleeping a little well and didn't hear it. Diao Chan woke up first. After seeing the ancient book, she quickly woke Yu Yi up and handed the ancient book to Yu Yi.
.
Diao Chan knew all these secrets about Yu Yi, so she was not surprised. Yu Yi did not avoid Diao Chan and directly opened the video with Kong Ming.
Kong Ming said what happened, then told Yuyi, "Now everything is ready, only the east wind is gone, you can blow the east wind quickly."
Yu Yi said: "My place is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou. I am the fastest horse. It will take half a month to send the letter. It will definitely be too late."
Kong Ming said: "What should I do?"
Yu Yi smiled and said, "I heard that when you were in Longzhong, your calligraphy was also very famous. Your father-in-law Huang Chengyan often praised you!"
Kong Ming opened his eyes wide and said, "You are so awesome, you know that!"
Yu Yi said: "Yes, so as a calligraphy master, you can imitate my handwriting and write a letter instead of me."
Kong Ming shook his head and said, "I have a letter to Pang Tong yesterday. Today I will believe it in my hands. Will it be..."
Yu Yi smiled and said, "This is simple. Just say you have calculated it. Communicate with me in advance and ask me to write a letter."
