Chapter 183: Liu Bei's first set
The most important thing for a minister to serve the Lord is to understand the Lord's intentions. For example, Fa Zheng guessed Liu Yu's thoughts correctly this time, and Zhang Song and Fa Zheng did what Liu Yu thought together. Then the future success will be foolproof, and they can also add weight to their own people in the future court. The contribution is great.
But if Fa Zheng is wrong, then the danger will be very high. At the very least, beheading, or at the worst, the whole family will be killed. If it were such a result, Zhang Song would say that nothing could be accepted.
Seeing Zhang Song refusing to make a decision, Fa Zheng said, "Zi Qiao, you must not miss the opportunity, you will never come again."
My mother's opportunity is unavoidable. Zhang Song is now wondering whether Fa Zheng really surrendered to Liu Bei. He is now helping Liu Bei.
Fa Zheng was a little anxious. Zhang Song had huge energy in Yizhou. This plan was made by Fa Zheng, but without Zhang Song's assistance and cooperation, it was completely empty talk. Now Zhang Song obviously has deep concerns. If he wants to convince him, Fa Zheng needs to work hard.
Fa Zheng has been looking at Zhang Song all the time, hoping that Zhang Song can give an answer as soon as possible. It is best to agree, so that Fa Zheng can show his skills.
Zhang Song narrowed his eyes and finally squeezed out a sentence from his mouth: "How confident are you??"
"Zi Qiao, as long as you feel wronged and obeyed Liu Bei, you will leave everything to me. I can guarantee that everything is like the plan!" Fa Zheng was ecstatic and patted Zhang Song's reluctance.
Zhang Song's ugly face was entangled for a moment, and finally opened up, with a pleasant smile, and said, "Then follow your method. Of course, we must report this plan to Your Majesty."
"Of course. We have any plans to report to Your Majesty. Zi Qiao, this time we will report them in my personal name. If I guess your Majesty's thoughts wrong, I will bear all the consequences." Fa Zheng took on all the things.
This seems to be taking the initiative to take responsibility, but if it succeeds in the end, then Fazheng's contribution will be the greatest. Since Zhang Song agreed, he will not evade responsibility. Besides, Fazheng's plans all need Zhang Song's assistance, people, things, wealth, and strength are all from Zhang Song. He can't see Fazheng taking the credit alone.
"Zi Qiao's words are a big mistake! You and I are doing things for the court at the same time. If there is a problem, it will naturally be yourselves that you and I will bear it together. If you let you take responsibility alone, wouldn't it be a trap for me and injustice? A gentleman's friendship lies in his heart, and you and I don't have to be so clear." Zhang Song made things perfectly complete after a few strokes.
"Zi Qiao Gaoyi, I can't compare!" Fa Zheng didn't know Zhang Song's little thoughts. He said so before that was intentional.
There are some things that both of them can understand.
Since Zhang Song has agreed with Fazheng's plan, Fazheng doesn't have to waste too much time here. He needs to go to Liu Bei immediately.
Zhang Song knew why he was there. He agreed that Fa Zheng immediately went to Liu Bei and fooled Liu Bei.
This time, Fa Zheng quietly came out of Zhang Song's mansion and then advanced towards Liu Bei's residence as fast as possible.
When he arrived at Liu Bei, Fa Zheng encountered the same situation as Xu Shu had encountered before. Liu Bei still told his servants that if there was nothing important to prevent Fa Zheng from coming in, he wanted to stay in the gentle village for a while. Liu Bei said he wanted to restrain himself, but his body was very honest and he couldn't control himself when he saw the beauty.
Now that Liu Bei is in the midst of a big fight in the bed, how could he be disturbed?
Liu Bei's servants familiarly told Fa Zheng what he had said to Xu Shu before. Fa Zheng was a wise man and knew what Liu Bei was doing. But Fa Zheng was different from Xu Shu. Xu Shu had to take into account Liu Bei's feelings, but Fa Zheng was different. Liu Bei was Xu Shu's lord, and Xu Shu wanted to give face, but Fa Zheng didn't want to follow Liu Bei wholeheartedly at all, so he naturally didn't take this trick.
Fa Zheng directly slapped the servant who blocked his progress and shouted, "I have important things to report to the lord. You dare to stop him by killing him. If you miss the lord's big business, can you afford it?"
The servant was swollen from his face when Fa Zheng was slapped like this, and his eyes were filled with stars. Fa Zheng took this opportunity to push the servant away and ran directly towards Liu Bei's room.
"Mr. Fa, stay. It's inconvenient for lord now." The servant was scared and wanted to stop Fazheng.
Fazheng's pace was very fast, and this servant couldn't catch up with him. Other servants dared not stop Fazheng. Fazheng's slap just now was literally proof, proving that Fazheng really had urgent matters, so they dare not delay Fazheng's work, so as not to be beaten by Fazheng in vain.
The smarter servant went to report to Liu Bei decisively.
Liu Bei was about to reach the peak, but suddenly he heard that Fa Zheng rushed in. He was so scared that he took back his tools for crime on the spot, hurriedly put on his clothes, and asked the maid on the bed to stay well. He sat at the desk, waiting for Fa Zheng to arrive.
Fa Zheng saw that the servant rushed to inform Liu Bei of the situation and knew that the plan to see Liu Bei's good show was a failure.
"Lord, Xiaozhi is looking for a meeting." Although he was forced to break through, Fa Zheng still needed to do some superficial skills when he arrived outside Liu Bei's room.
Anyway, Liu Bei likes this one.
Liu Bei said lightly in the room: "Come in."
As soon as Fa Zheng walked into the room, he saw Liu Bei sitting on the desk with a flushed face. As a man, Fa Zheng knew that Liu Bei was fighting just now and might be about to reach the peak.
"Liu Xuande didn't pay attention to his body. If this continues, he will die on the woman's belly sooner or later." Fa Zheng kept complaining in his heart.
Fa Zheng even complained that he had disturbed Liu Bei's good things, and he really convinced him.
"Lord, I'm so happy." Fa Zheng put on a happy smile.
"Xiaozhi, where does the joy come from?" Liu Bei was stunned. Fa Zheng came late at night this time, and there must be something important. Why does it sound like he came to report the good news? But what else does Liu Bei have to do now?
The smile on Fa Zheng's face did not stop, and he continued to maintain this expression and said, "Lord, for the sake of his great cause, I run around every day and night. The lord also knows that Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao, the other person in Yizhou, have old friends. If the lord wants to support the Han Dynasty, he must have Zhang Song's support in Yizhou. After unremitting efforts, he finally achieved results."
"What! You said Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao?" Liu Bei stood up.
Fa Zheng hurriedly advised: "My lord, don't be so loud, be careful of the ears of the wall."
Liu Bei knew that he had made a mistake. If such a secret thing was heard by someone with a heart, then all Fazheng's efforts would be in vain.
"Xiaozhi, are you saying that Zhang Ziqiao is showing kindness to me?" Liu Bei approached Fa Zheng and asked in a low voice.
"Of course, lord, I went to Zhang Song's mansion tonight under the guise of reminiscing about the past and talked to him. In his words, Zhang Song seemed to show his kindness to his lord. After being indirectly attacked, he finally understood why Zhang Song expressed his kindness to his lord." Fa Zheng also lowered his voice.
Liu Bei's curiosity was aroused by Fa Zheng. At the same time, he also remembered Zhang Song's previous sarcastic expressions of sarcasm to him. Why did he express kindness this time? This made Liu Bei feel strange.
"Xiaozhi can be explained in detail." Liu Bei would not express his doubts.
Fa Zheng said: "My lord, Zhang Ziqiao is under one person in Yizhou, and above ten thousand people. When he arrived at this position, Zhang Ziqiao had nothing to pursue. The only thing he cared about was his reputation and the prosperity of his family. A real man was born between heaven and earth, so he naturally wanted to leave his name in history. Unfortunately, Yizhou was in the hands of Liu Zhang. Zhang Ziqiao has been suspicious of Liu Zhang for many years, and his talent was simply buried. Lord, Zhang Ziqiao is not inferior to being inferior. Even Xu Junshi, Zhang Ziqiao can compete with each other."
Liu Bei felt that what Fa Zheng said was a bit exaggerated, but it is undeniable that in Yizhou, Zhang Song was a little awesome than Xu Shu.
Liu Bei did not interrupt Fa Zheng, and Fa Zheng continued: "Zhang Ziqiao retreated and tried his best to make the Zhang family prosperous. Unfortunately, the whole country in Yizhou is very concerned about the Zhang family, which makes Zhang Song unable to handle it. In addition, Liu Zhang is now timid, and at this great opportunity when Liu Yu and Cao Cao fight, he is hiding in Yizhou. Whenever Zhang Ziqiao thinks of this, his heart is like a knife. And the lord is a hero in the world, and it is normal for Zhang Song to express his kindness."
Liu Bei was so moved by Fazheng's words. If Zhang Song had the help, it would be a foregone conclusion that he would get Yizhou. This matter was too important, and Liu Bei would not hold a grudge against Fazheng's fault for disturbing him.
"Come, go and invite the military advisor!" Liu Bei said directly to the door, and naturally someone would do it.
"Xiaozhi, let's talk here." Liu Bei calmly brought Fa Zheng to the study.
Fa Zheng laughed in his heart. Liu Bei was still shameless and could not let him see Liu Bei's delicate beauty on his bed. Fa Zheng would not expose Liu Bei, so he followed Liu Bei's footsteps to the study.
After the two arrived at the study, the servants prepared some fruit tea to make a filling object for a long night.
Soon, Xu Shu, who was sleepy, rushed over. It seemed that he had already fallen asleep before.
"I wonder what instructions did the lord have to summon him late at night?" Xu Shu was a little surprised when he saw Fa Zheng's figure, and he was a little confused about Liu Bei's summons this time.
Liu Bei said softly: "Yuanzhi, Xiaozhi brought good news. Zhang Ziqiao vaguely expressed kindness to me."
"Oh, is this happening?" Xu Shu felt energetic and looked at Fa Zheng.
Fa Zheng said what he had just said to Liu Bei to Xu Shu to listen.
After hearing this, Xu Shu fell into deep thought.
Liu Bei couldn't wait to know Xu Shu's thoughts and asked, "Yuan Zhi, what do you think?"
Xu Shu asked Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, how sincere do you feel about Zhang Song's show of kindness?"
Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Military advisor, if Zhang Ziqiao is not sincere enough, I dare not disturb my lord's rest late at night."
In the last word "rest", Fa Zheng's tone was deliberately increasing. Xu Shu, as a person who experienced it, must have understood. Liu Bei was a little embarrassed, but he, who was very thick-skinned, did not hear it.
"If this is the case, the lord's great cause will be much easier." Xu Shu said with a smile.
"Yuan Zhi, do you believe in Zhang Ziqiao?" Liu Bei was a little excited.
Xu Shu explained: "I believe it is not true. Zhang Ziqiao's move is a strategy of betting on both sides. This is a common trick. Don't be too excited."
"So that's it." Liu Bei's excitement was shattered by Xu Shu's words.
Xu Shu saw Liu Bei's attention to Zhang Song, so he said, "Zhang Song expressed kindness, which just gave the lord the opportunity. The lord would plan Yizhou next, and Zhang Song's kindness said that he would not interfere with the lord, and would even help the lord."
"That's the extreme, the military advisor hits the key point." Fa Zheng seized the opportunity and said, "Zhang Ziqiao is a different person in Yizhou. If he turns a blind eye, why should the lord worry about the big thing?"
Fa Zheng has always been worried that Xu Shu would see something. Now it seems that Xu Shu has not seen through the conspiracy between Fa Zheng and Zhang Song.
Liu Bei's face finally showed a smile. It seemed that Yizhou was almost certain, oh no, it was fully confident that it had fallen into his hands. Thinking of the wealthy Yizhou in his hands, Liu Bei knew that he would definitely be able to realize the ambition in his heart.
"But Zhang Ziqiao has always been tricky, and I am worried that Zhang Ziqiao will have a conspiracy! So the lord still needs to be more cautious." Xu Shu added.
Liu Bei and Fa Zheng felt nervous, and their thoughts were different.
Liu Bei said nervously: "Yes, if Zhang Song does something conspiracy, this matter will be serious."
Fa Zheng couldn't let Xu Shu mess up the matter. His mind changed and suddenly came up with a solution and said, "Lord, why not test Zhang Ziqiao? If Zhang Song intends to help the lord, everything will be clear."
"Xiaozhi said so much!" Liu Bei and Xu Shu both thought of how to test Zhang Song.
In fact, Fa Zheng also understood. The temptation he mentioned was nothing more than Liu Feng going to cause trouble to see if Zhang Song would stand on Liu Bei's side.
The specific things, Fazheng, were not clearly stated, and everyone knew them in their hearts.
Liu Bei asked Xu Shu to rest first, leaving Fa Zheng behind.
Fa Zheng didn't understand why Liu Bei wanted to keep him alone.
"Xiaozhi, how has Feng'er's recent academic progress been?" Liu Bei said.
Sure enough, Liu Feng's every move was under Liu Bei's surveillance, and Liu Feng went to find Fa Zheng several times, and Liu Bei knew it very well.
"The eldest son often asked for advice, but he was not very knowledgeable and could not guide him. However, the eldest son was persistent and was quite distressed." Fa Zheng expressed his loyalty to Liu Bei, and he could understand what Liu Bei meant.
Liu Bei nodded slightly and said, "Xiaozhi is too humble. It is his blessing to guide Feng'er by your talent. However, Xiaozhi is busy with affairs and Feng'er has been disturbed many times. It is really inappropriate. I will scold him so as not to disturb Xiaozhi."
This is to let Fazheng stop interfering in Liu Feng's affairs.
