Chapter 650 Wang Zheng's little fan
"Changli Lu's idea sounds good."

Guo Jia frowned and said, "But have you ever thought about it, are these two families willing to join hands with me in Xuzhou? Let's not talk about Jiaozhou Shixie, let's take Yizhou as an example. Liu Zhang is also a member of the Han family. Eighty-nine may not be willing to go to Jingzhou, and even if this point is put aside, the people of Shu have always been self-styled and settled in a corner. Even if Liu Zhang is persuaded by us, his civil and military command may not be willing to take the initiative to provoke Jingzhou. Enemy?"

"Guo Jijiu doesn't know anything about it," Lu Su said with a slight smile, "Liu Zhang is very different from Liu Chong, but there is always a gap between this person and Liu Biao. The so-called love between the same clan and the same room has long since disappeared!"

"Oh?" Guo Jia asked in surprise, "How do you say it?"

Just as Lu Su was about to speak, Wang Zheng, who was on the throne, said calmly: "I've heard of this before, Zijing is talking about Shen Mi's rebellion in the first year of Xingping, right?"

In the first year of Xingping, it was the third year of Wangzheng's crossing. In that year, the world of Han Dynasty was in turmoil, and major events happened frequently. Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked Chang'an in the north and fought with Li Jue, and Sun Ce borrowed troops from Yuan Shu in the south. Ah, to attack Liu Yao, as for the Central Plains, Wang Zheng raised the banner of the Huangtian Uprising and marched into Xuzhou.

Compared with other places, a major event actually happened in the southwest, that is, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, who single-handedly caused or exacerbated the separatism of the heroes, died that year and was succeeded by his son Liu Zhang.

Not long after Liu Zhang took office, a rebellion broke out in Yizhou. This rebellion was led by Zhonglang general Shen Mi, but it was quickly quelled. Shen Mi was defeated and died, and most of his men fled. Jingzhou was taken in by Liu Biao, and one of them was Gan Ning.

"My lord is right." Lu Su nodded, "Shen Mi's rebellion was instigated by others, and the instigator behind the scenes was Liu Biao, who was the shepherd of Jingzhou at that time!"

"This uncle of his first did the disgraceful thing of taking advantage of the situation and even taking advantage of the fire to rob him. Now that Jingzhou has encountered a young master coming to court, when internal and external troubles occur, if Liu Zhang takes the opportunity to send troops, it can be said that heaven will pay off, and his teacher is famous. !"

"Well, it makes sense logically," Wang Zheng pondered for a moment, and then said slowly, "But I heard that Liu Zhang is not a brave and decisive person. Even if there is always a gap, I'm afraid he might not take action. What is Zijing going to say?"

"Your Majesty is tactful." Lu Su laughed and said, "It's not just that he is not brave and decisive. I have an old friend who is now serving as the county magistrate of Xindu under Liu Zhang. I have a good opinion of him as a superior."

"Oh?" Wang Zheng became interested, and asked sideways, "Which ten words?"

"Stupid and weak, guard the good, disciple of Duke Xiang of the Song Dynasty!"

Before Wang Zheng could react, Guo Jia on the side had already laughed and said, "If this evaluation is true, then this Liu Zhang is a benevolent gentleman. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to persuade this person to go to the army?"

Song Xianggong is the protagonist who refused to attack halfway. In 638 BC, Song Xianggong attacked Zheng Guo and fought the battle of Hongshui with the Chu army who rescued Zheng. The Chu army was already stronger, but the result was not likely to win The eldest Song Xianggong also paid attention to benevolence and righteousness. He had to wait for the Chu soldiers to cross the river and then fight again. In the end, he was defeated and injured. He died of serious injuries the next year and was buried in Xiangling.

"From my point of view, the biggest characteristic of someone like Song Xianggong is not benevolence and righteousness, but ignorance!" Lu Su said confidently: "Since he is ignorant, he may be persuasive."

As he said that, he bowed his hands to Wang Zheng, and said loudly: "As long as the lord can make up his mind, I will ask for orders. I will go to Chengdu today. With the recommendation of my old friend, I will be able to persuade Yizhou Mu to go to Jingzhou to join the war!"

That friend of Lu Su's commented on Liu Zhang in this way. Presumably, he had changed his family a long time ago and turned to another master. Wang Zheng was not surprised by Lu Su's words, but said with some doubts: "That friend of Zijing's He is a county magistrate, can he speak to Liu Zhang?"

"My lord doesn't know, this new capital is only tens of miles away from Chengdu." Lu Su hurriedly explained: "Besides, this old friend just won the championship last year."

Wang Zheng immediately realized that county magistrates are different from county magistrates. The new capital is so close to Chengdu that it is actually the outer city of Chengdu.

And being able to serve as the highest official in the outer city of the capital at such a young age, this friend of Lu Su is definitely worthy of being young and promising, so he could not help but slightly nodded: "It seems that your friend is not from a low family background, which high school in Yizhou is he from?" Men's children?"

"This old friend of mine is called Fazheng, but he is not from Yizhou, but from Fufeng in Guanzhong."

Seeing Wang Zheng's expression stunned, Lu Suhui misunderstood, and quickly added: "He is the grandson of the great virtuous Fazhen, and it is for this reason that he has always admired the lord."

Wang Zheng, who was surprised by the name "Fazheng" just now, was even more surprised when he heard this: "How do you say that?"

A Guanzhong native who lives in Yizhou, what admiration can he have for him?

At this time, Guo Jia explained with a smile: "My lord, the Daxian Fazhen is the direct descendant of Qi Xianggong. The lord was born in Qingzhou. He is so heroic at a young age. Fazheng has a heart of admiration. It's normal."

King Xiang of Qi was named Tian Fazhang. During the Warring States period, when Qi was strong and prosperous, he showed off his martial arts too much, and he killed King Yanzhao's father and planted a curse.Later, Yan State, with Le Yi as its commander, united with other five armies including Qin and Chu to attack Qi State, and captured more than 70 cities in Qi State.Only the two cities of Gong and Jimo are still holding on.King Qi Min fled to Miyagi, but was killed by the people of Chu who pretended to help him.Qi Prince Tian Fazhang had no choice but to disguise himself as a commoner and fled to Taishi's house as a servant, changing his surname to Fa to avoid the enemy.

Soon, Tian Dan, the general of the Qi State, defeated the Yan army and recovered the Qi State. Only then did Tian Fazhang dare to disclose his identity. The country was once again destroyed by the Qin army. After the subjugation, the clansmen did not dare to call the Tian family because they avoided the cruel search and killing by the Qin army. According to legend, until the Han Dynasty.

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, Wang Zhengfang suddenly realized that this Fazheng is also considered to be the grandson of Qi State. If so, it is normal to see him as a "Qi man" with his current achievements and power.
By the way, could it be that in the original history, Fazheng took refuge in Liu Bei, and there was also a reason why the other party had made the Qingzhou Plain Order?
But even so, to be honest, Wang Zheng didn't have much hope for Lu Su's ability to persuade Liu Zhang. After all, no matter how stupid Liu Zhang is, it's impossible for all the civil and military officials under his command to be stupid, right?
One must know that the last time Wang Zheng joined forces with Liu Biao to share Yuan Shu's territory, now, how long has it been since then, didn't he just attack Jingzhou?
A lesson learned from the past, and a teacher from the past, Wang Zheng himself does not believe that the civil and military officials in Yizhou can be so stupid to join the thief ship of Xuzhou.

But since Lu Su has this plan, it doesn't hurt to try it, what if they are so stupid?

After pondering for a moment, Wang Zheng nodded and said, "Since Zijing has this intention, he packed up his luggage and went to Chengdu some day. I will be waiting for your victory in Nanchang."

"Promise!" Lu Su said solemnly: "I will not disgrace my mission if I go here."

After Lu Su paid his respects, Mi Fang also withdrew, leaving only Wang Zheng and Guo Jia in the hall. He asked Guo Jia, "Is the strategy offered by Zi Jing Shicai somewhat successful from Fengxiao's point of view? possible?"

Guo Jia, like Wang Zheng, was not optimistic about Lu Su's strategy, "It's different today. Last year, the lord did not win Yangzhou. Although the record is brilliant, after all, there is only Xuzhou. I would agree to attack Yuan Shu with my lord, but now my lord has hidden nine counties and is one of the most powerful princes in the world, wise people in Yizhou may not agree to join forces with my lord to attack Yuan Shu."

"Yeah." Wang Zheng nodded slightly: "But since Zijing has this heart, maybe he is confident in his heart, and it doesn't hurt to let him try it. It will be clear within a month, and it is naturally the most important thing." Well, if it doesn't work, it won't affect our strategy of attacking Jingzhou."

"That's what the lord said."

After chatting for a few more words, Wang Zheng brought the topic back to the current front line: "Feng Xiao thinks that it is unlikely that Liu Zhang will join forces with us, so what do you think about the current situation in Changsha County?"

"So far, our army's offensive in Changsha County has been going well."

Guo Jia thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "However, the soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared and disappeared are always a hidden danger. If the number of soldiers and horses exceeds five thousand, it is unlikely to be Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, but if Cao Cao The soldiers and horses, it shows two things."

Wang Zheng asked, "Which two things?"

Guo Jiadao: "First of all, it means that this army must have come to support Changsha. This shows that Cao Cao attaches great importance to Jingzhou. This time, he will never sit back and watch the lord attack Cai Mao and ignore it. 5000 troops can completely escape our army's eyes and ears. Among them, there must be the cooperation of Jiangxia Huangzu, so Cao Cao and Cai Mao must have formed an offensive and defensive alliance."

"These 5000 troops must be all elites. They are not moving at present, but because the soldiers and horses of Nanjun have not yet arrived. Once the soldiers and horses of Nanjun have arrived, they will definitely re-deploy the front line. Maybe our army will be there in the near future. It will suffer a joint counterattack from the Jingzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army. In other words, the current situation that is relatively smooth for our army may be about to face a turning point."

"This matter was originally expected."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's expression was calm, he didn't see any joy or anger, he just waved his hands and said, "Changsha is a big county and the gateway to the east of Jingzhou. Withstanding the joint counterattack of the two parties, not only will Changsha County be in the bag, but it will also be of great benefit to the future advancement of Nanjun and Jiangxia."

Why is it beneficial?

Because if the joint counterattack by the two parties fails, it will inevitably bring great setbacks to the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou. This is one of the reasons why Wang Zheng went to Nanchang personally. He expected the victory in the first battle, and the same is true for the enemy's counterattack. .

Hearing this, Guo Jia stared at the lord in front of him, and suddenly laughed: "When misfortune comes, blessings depend on it, and when good fortune comes, misfortune lies there. My lord often tells people that there are yin and yang in everything. If there are advantages, there must be disadvantages, and vice versa." So, is that what you said?"

Wang Zheng laughed, "It's like a medical officer's 'dialectical' analysis of things, then you will see that there is a side that is beneficial to me, but there is also a side that is not good for me. Xiao, what is the next thing you said, and what is it?"

"Even if you put so much emphasis on it, you can only send 5000 troops, which means that Yuan Shao's Jizhou Army has put too much pressure on Cao Cao, and may even go south at any time. It is too big, and it is also stretched, and it is impossible to send more soldiers, which shows that, at least in the short term, Cao Cao's army will never have the spare power to rush to help Changsha. Outside the military, perhaps this is the only foreign aid."

"Not bad." Wang Zheng nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile, "Since Yuan Shao formed an alliance with me, it was expected that he would attack Cao Cao first."

"Even so, the north of Xuzhou still cannot be neglected." Guo Jia reminded lightly, and then said: "From the perspective of these two points, it can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages for our army, but this is based on the strength of this army. On the condition that there are only five thousand troops, if it is true as my lord guessed, the soldiers and horses are not only five thousand, but they are the Yanzhou army."

At this point, Guo Jia paused, stared at Wang Zheng, and said word by word: "If it is five thousand, it means that Cao Cao is stretched, and he can only send 5000 troops, but if it is nearly ten thousand, Then there may be Yanzhou Army participating in it one after another!"

"My lord, please think about it, what does this mean?"

"What does it mean?" Wang Zheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his sword eyebrows, and said, "Cao Cao has great confidence and certainty, and is sure that Yuan Shao will not use troops against him in Yanzhou in the short term!"

"exactly!"

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "If Yuan Shao doesn't use troops against Cao Cao, there are only two possibilities. One, the war will stop, and Yuan Shao plans to recuperate this year after he just won Youzhou. He has no plans for foreign wars. As for the second."

Without Guo Jia's elaboration, Wang Zheng's heart is clear. If the Jizhou army has a plan for wars inside and outside the year, but they don't fight Cao Cao, then there is only one place they can fight!

It is his Xuzhou!

Although this speculation is extremely bold, it is logical and reasonable. The world's benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and trustworthiness are all sidelines. As long as there are enough interests to drive, anyone can do it!

Seeing Wang Zheng standing up and pacing in the room, Guo Jia added: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry for now, there is no evidence yet, and when Ben Ming finds out who this army is and how many people are there, It’s not too late to decide.”

Wang Zheng paused when he heard the words, turned around and looked around, his eyes flickered sharply: "Feng Xiao, what if there are really more than five thousand, or even nearly ten thousand Yanzhou troops?"

Facing Wang Zheng's stare, Guo Jia said indifferently: "In my opinion, the Southern Expedition should be stopped immediately, and the three armies must turn back and prepare to fight with Jizhou's iron cavalry with all their strength!"
