Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 540
Fazheng didn't stay in Chenliu for long, and quickly bid farewell to Liu Xie and left. He went all the way south, and it didn't take much time to arrive at Nanyang, one of the three counties in Jingbei that was ravaged by war.

Because of Liu Bei's return in Nanyang, the hearts of the people were settled. The two sides launched many tentative battles, but they did not make much progress.

Wenpin and Song Jiang were afraid of the bravery of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Pan Feng, and did not dare to fight Liu Bei head-on. Therefore, they agreed to lead the army to occupy all the surrounding counties and villages, completely isolate Nanyang, and then rely on troops to fight against Liu Bei. With the advantage of food and grass, Liu Bei's army was trapped alive.

This method is extremely calm, one step at a time, unless Liu Bei leads the army to rush out to block it, otherwise it will be absolutely impossible.

It's just that the soldiers are deceitful, and the false is the real, and the real is the false.

Liu Bei didn't dare to decide whether Wenpin and Song Jiang really wanted to fortify the wall and clear the country to isolate and surround them, or set up an ambush to lure them out of the city and abandon the advantage of the city wall.

Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have undue courage, they are extremely reluctant to figure out people's hearts.

Zhang Juzheng is only good at managing politics and financial management and stabilizing the rear, and he can't come up with any targeted strategies for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei felt helpless, and secretly sighed that if Wang Xuance had really taken refuge in him back then, there would be no need for such distress, the [-] Jingzhou army could be wiped out with a wave of hands just by talking and laughing.

Wang Xuance didn't look forward to it, but he looked forward to Fazheng who came south from Chenliu.

Fazheng told Liu Xie at the beginning that Liu Bei was not the next candidate in his mind. He was going to Xiangyang, but he didn't know why he would suddenly run to Nanyang City at the risk of a military disaster.

However, this did not prevent Liu Bei from being so happy after seeing him.

When Liu Bei withdrew his troops from him, he knew that Yizhou would definitely be captured by Cao Cao within a few months.

With the land of Jingzhou for him to play, Liu Bei's reluctance to Yizhou is only due to Wang Xuance and Fazheng.

It's a pity that Wang Xuance already has a favorite lord. Although no one knows what he wrote in a letter from Zhuge Liang earlier, it really moved Wang Xuance.

They also bought one and got three free, and brought Li Wenzhong, Wu Yi and Wu Cheng to Liu Xie.

Liu Bei paid attention to the whereabouts of the two of them, so he invited Fazheng inside, poured the tea himself and handed it over, he couldn't help asking: "Filial piety has come all the way, I don't know why?"

As soon as Fazheng saw Liu Bei's nonchalant appearance, he knew that he was testing him, and without thinking, he said straightforwardly: "There is no other reason but to plot Jingzhou for Liu Gong."

Seeing Fazheng's indifferent expression, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel happy.

Good guy, he is indeed the most outstanding counselor in the world, his tone of speech is different from theirs, he turned a blind eye to Wenpin outside the city and Song Jiang's [-] army, and directly said that he was going to capture the entire Jingzhou.

Such a confident and talented counselor is exactly what Liu Bei needs most now.

It's just that Liu Bei was also a little worried, did Fa Zheng really come to take refuge in him?

After learning Zhuge Liang's lesson, Liu Bei was a little terrified.

He knew Liu Xie's method of attracting people's hearts. Why would Fazheng give up the great strength of the land of three states, and risk military disasters and man-made disasters to go to Nanyang to help him, a little general who is in a desperate situation?

Fazheng seemed to have seen through Liu Bei's thoughts, took a sip of tea, and couldn't help sighing in a deep voice: "I understand Liu Gong's worries, and I will tell Liu Gong that Fazheng really didn't think about switching to Liu Bei at the beginning. After all, Wu The big tree in the palace is currently the safest and most reliable."

Liu Bei didn't feel embarrassed because of this, but asked in a harmonious voice: "Could something happen in the middle?"

"Speaking of this matter, it is because Fazheng is wrong first."

At that moment, Fazheng's eyes narrowed, and he planned to escape from Yizhou, and then he was accidentally bumped into by Wang Xuance and others in Wuwangfu, and how Liu Xie dealt with it. There was nothing to hide.

After Liu Bei heard this, he immediately felt sorry for Fazheng and said: "Women are like clothes, brothers are like brothers and sisters. King Wu is indeed an outstanding person in his life, but after all, he was young. He neglected a great talent like Xiaozhi for a beautiful woman, and he will definitely appreciate it in the future. I regret it."

When Fazheng heard this, he shook his head and laughed at himself: "I can't blame King Wu for this matter. His treatment is impartial and moderate. It's just that I am a person who spends money very much. I will inevitably use myself to judge others. I am afraid that Wu If Amaranth becomes favored by King Wu, he will bring up the past and wait for revenge."

After hearing this, Liu Bei contacted Fazheng's experience in Yizhou, and felt something in his heart. He keenly grasped that Fazheng lacked a sense of security and had enough trust.

Now that he knows the crux of the problem, it is not difficult for him to prescribe the right medicine.

Liu Bei stood up and bowed deeply to Fazheng, before he said solemnly: "Bei is the empress of King Jing of Zhongshan, and I always feel that as a member of the Liu family, I should take it as my duty to help the people and benefit one side. But fate is impermanent." At this time when the Han Zuo is in decline and internal and external troubles, we should follow the example of Guangwu, hold a spear and a sword, quell the chaotic king, and save the Sheji Building from the collapse. However, the fate is too much, and it is difficult to rely on it for half a life. Now Liu Jingzhou is pressing every step of the way, and I am afraid that there will be no place to settle down and serve the country. If you don't give up, sir, I am willing to entrust you with [-] soldiers and horses. I will worship you as the army's military adviser to clear away the troubled times and repay you together. I am ambitious."

Liu Bei's emotion was intense, and his voice was high-pitched, as if it had magical powers. It was so contagious that even Fazheng couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard it.

The [-] soldiers and horses are already all his warriors who can fight, and they are all entrusted to each other. This is giving Fazheng the power under one person and over ten thousand people. What kind of trust is it!

So, with Fazheng in control, why worry?

Seeing that Fazheng didn't respond, Liu Bei didn't even think about it, he raised his hands flat, and then bent down and bowed deeply, so that both of Zuichang's hands were stretched out to the ground, and he just bent down and didn't get up.

Liu Bei was determined to get Fazheng to agree, so he gave full play to his thick-skinned advantage, and there was a tendency that if you don't agree, I won't be able to salute all the time.

"Please, Mr. Liu."

Fazheng finally came to his senses, stepped forward, and helped Liu Bei up.

After hearing his address, Liu Bei couldn't help shaking his body, feeling desperate and lost.

Unexpectedly, he had already achieved this, but Fazheng still rejected him.

"Fazheng's merits are not strong enough. Holding [-] soldiers and horses will only cause discord among the soldiers, and it will also drag Liu Gong in the name of nepotism. After I have defeated the enemy outside the city, I will take over the post of military adviser. Repay Mr. Liu Zhiyu's great kindness!"

Fazheng smiled lightly, full of confidence and personable demeanor.

"What Xiaozhi said is true, it's because Bei is too anxious."

After listening to Fazheng's words, Liu Bei felt even more natural. Overjoyed, he shed two turbid tears and his eyes were red, which moved Fazheng greatly.
