Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 426
"But he is my sister-in-law after all. If my brother finds out afterwards, he will definitely hold grudges against me for the rest of his life."

Liu Hao's palms were sweaty and he was very confused. Even though the man in red robe had analyzed the situation in Yizhou to him several times, he still couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

"Hey, Lord Inspector's heart has softened! Forget it, I, Fazheng, can no longer persuade Lord Inspector to go against the belief in my heart."

The man in the red robe heaved a long sigh, raised his head, and revealed a somewhat ferocious face, with a pair of eagle-like eyes very sharp, this man is a well-known wise counselor in Yizhou.

When Liu Yan passed away, he not only left many talents for Liu Zhang, but also gave him a life-saving message, telling him that when a disaster was imminent in Yizhou, he should not make decisions about internal affairs and ask for justice, and not make decisions about foreign affairs. Xuance.

Now that Wang Xuance went to Nanzhong to lead the army to defend against Meng Huo, even though Liu Zhang didn't like Fazheng no matter how much he had no one around him, remembering his father's warning, he had no choice but to ask Fazheng for help in person.

In fact, Fazheng had been contacted by Zhang Song a long time ago, and he already had the idea of ​​joining Cao Cao, but he hadn't made up his mind yet. Now that he was personally invited by Liu Zhang, he began to waver even more.

In his opinion, Cao Cao's tendency to break through Shu is inevitable, and the official position he obtained by going to Cao Cao is definitely not as good as Zhang Song, the person who planned everything from beginning to end. heaven and earth.

Fazheng had known Cao Cao's personality and hobbies for a long time, and knew that he had a habit of coveting other people's wives, so he planned to use a famous beauty in Yizhou, that is, Liu Mao's wife Wu Cheng, to present to Cao Cao. It is to paralyze the enemy and buy time. After Wang Xuance defeats Meng Huo, he will lead the troops to resist Cao Cao's army.

When the time comes for Yizhou to work together, and based on the natural dangers of Shu, even if they cannot defeat Cao's army, they will be able to hold on for at least three to five years.

In such a long period of time, the general situation of the world has already changed. Even if Cao Cao gets Yizhou, his vitality will be seriously damaged.

If there is another accident in the middle, it is not impossible for Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.

It's a pity that although Liu Zhang agreed to Fazheng's strategy at the beginning, his heart softened at the last moment.

Fazheng sighed slightly in his heart, he didn't know whether he should be happy or helpless about Liu Zhang's kindness or indecision.

But since Liu Zhang finally chose to give up, he had no choice but to find another strategy.

"Cao Cao's army is strong, and with the help of Zhang Song and others to know the terrain of Yizhou, it is very difficult to defeat with our current strength in Yizhou, not to mention that General Wang Xuance is still restrained by the disaster of the Nanman, and he is helpless. Now, we It can only drive away tigers and devour wolves."

Fa Zheng pondered for a long time under Liu Zhang's expectant gaze, and finally slowly opened his mouth and revealed another plan of his.

"Who is the tiger you are talking about?"

Impatient, Liu Zhang asked quickly.

"Clan of the Great Han Dynasty, Liu Bei of Jingzhou!"

Fazheng's eyes narrowed, and he spoke slowly, but he sighed in his heart. He didn't dare to use this strategy, fearing that if he failed to drive the tiger away, it would lead the wolf into the house instead.

Liu Bei is also an ambitious person, but his luck has been bad, and he lacks the help of top counselors, so it is difficult for him to make great progress.

It wasn't until he got Zhang Juzheng's assistance that Liu Bei gradually stabilized in Jingzhou.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng is good at political affairs, and he is only average in marching, fighting and making suggestions, so Liu Bei's power cannot be expanded rapidly.

But Liu Bei's strength is unquestionable, and he is very good at winning people's hearts. With Liu Zhang's slightly mediocre ability, he can easily be replaced by him.

However, there is no other way out in Yizhou now, even if the Fa is upright and trapped within the limitations of Yizhou, he can only think of this strategy.

"Liu Bei? This man and I share the same blood as the Han Dynasty. Now that I am in trouble in Yizhou, with his name of benevolence and righteousness, he will not sit idly by and do nothing. He will definitely send troops to help me."

Liu Zhang was only taken aback for a moment, and immediately became happy, thinking that with Liu Bei's help, his urgent need in Yizhou would be solved.

Fazheng lowered his eyebrows and sighed. At a critical juncture, although Liu Zhang has made a lot of progress, it is still difficult to become a great weapon after all, and his vision is too short-sighted.

However, he has no better way at the moment, but can only lure Liu Bei into Shu to help resist Cao Jun.

"Ask Liu Bei's help is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time. Now, Lord Inspector has to invite old general Yan Yan to lead the troops to the Jiange to resist Cao's offensive."

Fazheng knew that Cao Jun's leading general this time was not Cao Ren or Yang Xuangan, but Cao Cao himself.

In the entire land of Yizhou, except for Wang Xuance, only Yan Yan could barely resist based on the geographical advantages.

For other people, it would be good if they didn't defect before the battle. "

"Well, old general Yan is unparalleled in loyalty and loyalty, and he has rarely lost in battles in his life. With him leading the army, I can feel at ease for the time being."

Now Liu Zhang is extremely obedient to Fazheng's words, because he can also tell that Fazheng's suggestions are indeed beneficial to him.

"Liu Bei's side, it seems that I have to go there myself."

Fazheng thought about it, feeling a little helpless.

Although there are many talents in Shu, there are only a few who are worthy of his trust at this time.

If it were someone else to contact Liu Bei, he was afraid that there would be another Zhang Song and Cao Cao.

"Mr. Lao is here."

Liu Zhang got up and bowed deeply to Fazheng. Although he felt like he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, Fazheng really felt the feeling of being valued and trusted at last. give him a hand.

That night, Fazheng left Chengdu overnight with only his guards and entourage, and went to Jingzhou to contact Liu Bei.

The next day, Yan Yan also led the army north to Jiange to resist Cao Cao's army.

With Fazheng's sudden attack, a sun suddenly appeared in the misty sky of Yizhou.

Although I don't know that this solar energy can't break through the confinement of the dark clouds, but at least it gives people a glimmer of hope.

At this time, Zhuge Liang and the others were determined because of this, knowing that Yizhou could be temporarily stabilized with Fa-rectification, and planned to go to Nanzhong first.

The situation in Nanzhong is still not optimistic. Although under the command of Wang Xuance, the Shu army turned defeats into victories one after another and gradually regained all the lost ground.

But for Zhuge Liang, he was sure that Cao Cao might be one step ahead of him and reached a certain deal with Meng Huo.

And it is even more difficult for him to cooperate with Meng Huo now, and to deal with Cao Cao.

Although the Nanman people were brave and ruthless, they were very honest and loyal. Zhuge Liang wanted them to fight against Cao Cao, which was very difficult.

"Everything is man-made, nothing is impossible in this world."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, said thoughtfully to Zhao Yun and Gao Chong who were beside him, and rode their horses together towards Nanzhong, Meng Huo's territory.
