Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 298

On June 14th of the [-]th year of Jian'an, Li Bing, a general of the Changqi tribe stationed in Dangqu County, learned that the Yi king of the Du family, Du Sui, was looking for him to drink, so he went out of the city happily to the Du family's tribe.

As a result, he became a prisoner in the blink of an eye, and Dangqu County was easily taken by Liu Beijun.

The Micang Road leads from Bashu to two important counties in Hanzhong, one is Dangqu County at the entrance of Micang Road, and the other is Hanchang County at the center of Micang Road.

Although Zhang Lu tried his best to win Yizhou and become the king of Xichuan.

But he's not stupid either.

I know that there is nothing to lose in my hometown in Hanzhong.

Therefore, his younger brother Zhang Wei was ordered to sit in Hanzhong to protect the rear.

Zhang Wei's presence in Hanzhong has two meanings. One is to prevent a rebellion in the rear and the seizure of his hometown.The second is to prevent people from Guanzhong from trying to seize Hanzhong.

At this time, Han Sui, Ma Chao and others occupied Xiliang in Guanzhong, which might threaten Zhang Lu's territory, so Zhang Wei gave up guarding Chencang Road and Baoxie Road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, and concentrated on guarding Yangping Pass.

As for Micang Road, Zhang Lu wasn't worried at all.He just sent Changqi in Hanchang, with only 3000 troops from Dangqu and 4000 from Hanchang, a total of only [-].

There are more than [-] troops of Jian people. Zhang Lu believes that even if Liu Bei's main force raids Hanchang, it is absolutely impossible to threaten Hanzhong from Micang Road.

Therefore, after making these arrangements, he led the main force to go south from Jinniu Road to take Chengdu.

In addition to his younger brother Zhang Wei in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu also left his counselor Yang Song, the commander of the Southern Zheng Army Li Xiu, and the general Wang Xiong. The total number of troops stationed in Hanzhong is probably less than [-].

Zhang Lu himself led his counselor Yan Pu, generals Yang Bai, Yang Ren, and Yang Ang, with a total force of more than [-] people, to attack Chengdu and hit the outside of Chengdu.

Chengdu is in danger now, and it may be taken at any time. Even if Zhang Lu heard that Liu Bei has stationed in Jiangzhou and may go north from Micang Road to attack Hanzhong at any time, or go north to aid Chengdu along the Jialing River, he would not respond.

After all, [-]% of the work has been done, and it is about to take Chengdu and Yizhou. It is obviously impossible to give up halfway because of external enemies.

So Zhang Lu listened to the advice of his counselor Yan Pu, and stepped up his attack on Chengdu, while sending people to contact the Jianren, telling them to keep an eye on Liu Bei's army, and at the same time sending people to Liu Bei, hoping that the two sides could negotiate a good deal.

I don't know how effective these three prongs are.

However, Liu Bei also knew that Zhang Lu approached him for peace talks to delay time. Once he was delayed and Zhang Lu succeeded in taking Xichuan, he might not fulfill the terms negotiated at the time.

Therefore, Liu Bei also sent people to stabilize Zhang Lu's envoy, while seizing the time, the main force quickly went northward, took down the dangqu, and pointed the soldiers directly at Hanchang.

The Gou family and the Zhou family in Hanchang had a good relationship, and Hanchang was also the territory of the Jin people, so there was almost no suspense in the process of capturing Hanchang. Under the cooperation of the Gou family and the Jin people, Chang Qi was easily captured alive, and Hanchang The city was quickly destroyed.

On June [-]th, in Hanchang City, Liu Bei arrived with difficulty.

Although it took less than two days to capture the two cities of Dangqu and Hanchang.But from Dangqu to Hanchang, a mere 140 kilometers, it took eleven days.

The main reason is that the only passable road is to walk along the two banks of the upper reaches of the Qianjiang River. The terrain here is dangerous, and the mountains and forests on both sides of the river are dense.

However, Liu Bei's army was still relatively bloated. He sent [-] troops himself, leaving Guan Yu in Jiangzhou to confuse Zhang Lu, and brought an army of [-] people.

This is only the vanguard, and the troops transporting food and grass behind are still on their way. Even when they arrived at Hanchang City, Liu Bei only brought more than [-] people, and there were still many people behind.

In the Yamen of Hanchang City, Liu Beigao sat in the chief seat, with Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other generals on the lower left hand, and Pang Tong, Fazheng, Mi Zhu and other advisers on the lower right hand.

Fazheng also followed.

After the Jiangzhou talks, Zhang Song had no choice but to go back first.

Because there are other people in the envoy group watching them, they cannot follow Liu Bei blatantly, so after negotiating cooperation, they must go to Liu Zhang to return to life as soon as possible.

So Zhang Song used the excuse of staying with Fazheng, led Liu Beijun in Jiangzhou, and returned to Chengdu by himself.

Naturally, Fazheng did not lead Liu Bei to Chengdu for rescue, but followed Liu Bei to the north to Dangqu, and arrived in Hanchang today.

The journey was hard and exhausting, which made everyone feel a little tired.

Du Sui said to Liu Bei, "Uncle Emperor, the rice barn road is really difficult. There are still more than three hundred miles to Hanzhong, and they are all high mountains. If the road goes well, you may be able to reach Hanzhong outside the city in mid-July." .”

Liu Bei turned to look at Mi Zhu and said, "Zi Zhong, how long will it take for the follow-up food to reach Hanchang?"

Mi Zhu smiled wryly and said: "This army is more than 500, and it needs [-] to [-] shi for food and grass every day. Although we brought [-] million shi for food and grass from Jingzhou, most of them are shipped to Dangqu. Escorts, even with the help of others, can only travel ten miles a day, which is very difficult, and I am afraid that it will take until the beginning of next month to mobilize more than [-] troops for two months of military rations."

Hearing his words, Liu Bei couldn't help sighing: "It seems that there are too many soldiers and horses, which is not a good thing. I have been in the north and south for many years, and every time I command soldiers and horses, the maximum is tens of thousands. This is the first time I have commanded more than [-] troops. However, it caused the army to become bloated, the roads were difficult, and time wasted."

Pang Tong also said: "My lord, I really underestimated the difficulty of the road this time. I thought I could reach Hanzhong within a month at most. I didn't expect that the land of Bashu would be so steep that the military plane was delayed. Please punish me, my lord."

"That's all."

Liu Bei waved his hands and said, "It's not Shi Yuan's fault. We have never been to Hanzhong, so it's normal to know that the roads here are difficult. The people are used to crossing mountains and ridges, so they don't find it difficult. On the contrary, it's us, because it is too difficult. Too much luggage and weapons and equipment slow down the marching speed."

The road is there, and if soldiers with good physical strength do not bring weapons and equipment, it is not difficult to climb mountains and ridges like the people.

The problem is that Han soldiers are not as impoverished as the Jin people. They are equipped with weapons and equipment, plus food and supplies, and they need to bring too many things. When encountering difficult roads, this leads to slow marching speed.

"From this point of view, based on the current situation, it may not be until August before all our troops leave the Micang Road and arrive in Hanzhong."

Mi Zhu analyzed.

Liu Bei sighed: "I'm not afraid that the road will be difficult, but there are many changes in Chengdu. I'm afraid that Zhang Lu will break through Chengdu and occupy Yizhou at this time, and it will be even more difficult to deal with."

Everyone was sad for a moment.

General Wei Yan, a middle-ranking officer sitting at the bottom, stood up and said, "My lord, don't worry, Yan is willing to lead five thousand elite soldiers, bring dry rations for ten days, and make a surprise attack on Hanzhong City."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I am very pleased that Wen Chang has such a heart, but the mountain road is rough and difficult. Even if he arrives in Hanzhong, how can he quickly raid the city of Hanzhong?" All the counties have soldiers and horses, if the city cannot be broken immediately, the counties will be encircled, and they will startle the snake."

In fact, he was thinking in his heart that if Shen Chen led three thousand clan soldiers, he might still have a chance.He has seen the training of Huangmen soldiers. They are provided with meat three times a day, and their weight-bearing running training starts at [-] miles. Only this kind of soldiers can run for [-] miles.

Wei Yan sat down awkwardly.

At this time, Fazheng stood up with a smile and said, "My lord, in fact, General Wei's method is not impossible."

"Oh?"

Liu Bei was surprised and said, "Xiaozhi thinks it is possible to attack Hanzhong? But we need so many soldiers to take Hanzhong."

Fazheng cupped his hands and said, "Of course I know this truth, so I have a plan to take Hanzhong without bloodshed, and even make Zhang Lu lose his position, and finally surrender to us."

"Xiaozhi has a good strategy?"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and said, "Quickly tell me."

A bloated army is a problem.

But Liu Bei couldn't solve this problem.

Because their strategy is to go north to capture Hanzhong, and then attack Chengdu from north to south.

The [-] army seems to be enough, but it is still a bit stretched.

After occupying Hanzhong, in order to guard against the Guanzhong warlords, at least you have to garrison troops.

To attack Zhang Lu from the north and the south, the troops must at least have an advantage.

In addition, the people are familiar with the roads, crossing mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground, if encountering a tough battle, they can take a detour and play a miraculous effect.

What's more, even if the weapons and equipment of the Han people are not as good as those of the Han soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not high, they can suppress 10 horses, which is enough to deter General Zhang Lu who stayed behind in Hanzhong, forcing them to surrender as soon as possible.

Therefore, the Hongren troops had to come.

The most important thing is to tie them to the chariot, and the minorities will serve him, which will also benefit Liu Bei's rule in Xichuan in the future.

Therefore, the army travels, which leads to the slow speed of the team.

If Fazheng has a way, that would be great.

Seeing Fazheng say: "My lord, you can send a general to lead five thousand troops and take twenty days of food and grass, and set off first. The rest of the follow-up soldiers and horses will go forward normally, and then allow Zheng to take two hundred catties of gold and five hundred catties of silver." .”

"Take hundreds of gold and silver?"

Liu Bei wondered, "What does Xiao Zhi want so much gold and silver for?"

His gold and silver came from Jingzhou.

In history, Liu Bei captured Yizhou, entered Chengdu, and took a lot of money from Liu Zhang's treasury to reward meritorious officials.

"Three Kingdoms" records: "Yizhou has been leveled, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Fei and Guan Yu were given five hundred catties each of gold, one thousand catties of silver, 5000 million yuan in money, and one thousand pieces of Shu brocade. The rest were awarded differently."

This shows the wealth of Liu Zhang's treasury.

Even Liu Zhang has so much money, let alone Liu Biao's treasury, which is richer than Liu Zhang.

After Liu Bei got Jingzhou, in addition to Liu Biao's food and grass accumulated for many years in the Nanyang Basin, there were countless gold and silver coins. This time, he brought a lot of gold and silver to motivate the soldiers.

But of course Liu Bei couldn't evacuate the treasury of Jingzhou, so he only brought one thousand catties of gold and two thousand catties of silver on this trip, which already cost a lot to win people over.

Therefore, these coins should still be used in key places.

Fazheng smiled and said, "My lord, I don't know. There is a counselor in Zhang Lu named Yang Song who I once knew. This man is extremely greedy for money. If he can bribe him with gold and silver, he will be able to open the gate of Nanzheng City and let us go." Go in. And Yang Song has a younger brother named Yang Bai, who is currently guarding Jiameng Pass. If you can persuade Yang Song to vote, not only will Hanzhong be gained, Zhang Lu will lose all retreat, and the land of Yizhou will belong to the lord."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said: "So that's the case, then Lao Xiaozhi is responsible for this matter. If Xichuan is successfully captured according to Xiaozhi's plan, Xiaozhi will be the first to make the contribution."

"Thank you, my lord."

Fazheng bowed his hands in salute.

It's just that after this remark, Pang Tong's face was slightly sullen.

The strategy to capture Xichuan was planned by him. Although there were some problems in the implementation process, there was nothing wrong with the overall general policy.

Fazheng only corrected the problems, but took the lead, which really made Pang Tong a little unhappy.

But he is actually a relatively reserved person, and he didn't show it.

"of course."

Liu Bei noticed Pang Tong's unreliable expression, and said again: "The whole plan was made by Shi Yuan, and he has worked hard. It's just that filial piety goes deep into the enemy's nest, which is quite dangerous, so I remember the first credit. Shi Yuan didn't give up too much, Take it as a second merit."

"Thank you, my lord."

Pang Tong bowed his hands and saluted, and his dissatisfaction disappeared.

Because Liu Bei said the truth.

Although the statement is not the maker of the plan, it is the implementer.

Going to Hanzhong in person this time can be said to be going deep into the tiger's den, which is very dangerous, so it is reasonable to take the lead.

Immediately Liu Bei agreed with Fazheng's strategy, and ordered Wei Yan to lead five thousand troops, bring [-] days of food and grass, and escort Fazheng to Hanzhong with gold and silver.

At the end of June, without the burden of luggage, Wei Yan traveled very fast. He traveled forty miles a day, about three hundred miles. After walking for seven days, he finally left Mi Cang Road and arrived at Xigou.

Xigou is less than forty miles away from Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong, and it is still in the mountains. Fazheng asked Wei Yan to hide deep in the mountains. He personally brought a few guards, dressed in disguise, and went down the mountain at night to the north, towards Nanzheng. go.

After walking for more than ten miles at night, I finally arrived at the Hanzhong Plain, and arrived at Nanzheng District of Hanzhong City in later generations.

Nanzheng District is not Nanzheng County in the Han Dynasty. The location of Nanzheng County in the Han Dynasty is actually in the urban area of ​​Hanzhong City in later generations, and it is located in the north of the Han River.Therefore, this area is a rural pavilion at the bottom of Nanzheng County.

Along the township road, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields, and there are many villages. Walking along the road, except for the occasional barking of dogs, there is peace everywhere.

There is no army stationed, and there are no checkpoints to intercept, the whole Nanzheng County is like any village in the Han Dynasty that is not full of war, and the people live a life of indifference.

This is because Zhang Wei never expected that an army would suddenly come to Hanzhong, so he was completely unguarded.

It's not that he's stupid, but that this idea is normal.

After all, there are troops stationed on the road leading to Guanzhong in the north, and Jinniu Road in the south is the road for Zhang Lu to send troops to Chengdu, so it is impossible for enemies to come.As for Micang Road and Bashu Road, there are people who help to take care of them. Naturally, it would not have occurred to Liu Beijun that he had arrived in Hanchang.

Therefore, the whole of Hanzhong is in an extremely lax situation. What Hanzhong looks like in normal times is still what it looks like now.

Fazheng was very satisfied with this situation, so he hurried on the road at night, and arrived at the riverside of the Han River ferry near dawn.Although he didn't sleep all night, he was full of energy, crossed the river by boat, and arrived outside Nanzheng City.

At this time, it was the end of the morning meal, and the gate of the south city had been opened long ago. Farmers selling firewood, hawkers doing business, common people buying daily necessities, and scholars who went out to play in the city came and went.The soldiers at the gate of the city lazily stood guard, did not search the passers-by, yawned and fell asleep against the city wall.

Seeing Hanzhong's defenseless appearance, Fazheng nodded slightly, all of this was within his expectation.

Liu Bei persuaded the people to defect, and secretly seized Dangqu and Hanchang, blocking the news, not to mention that even a fly could not fly out of Hanchang, even if it flew out, it would not be delivered so quickly.

A group of people entered the city, and Hanzhong was very prosperous. At least before Cao Cao moved all the people in Hanzhong, the population of Nanzheng had exceeded 50. According to historical records, the registered population of the entire Hanzhong County at that time was [-] households, with a total population of [-]. about ten thousand.

Therefore, Nanzheng City is very prosperous, and all kinds of people who speak Guanzhong, Bashu, Xiliang and even Jingzhou accents travel through the period.

"Cooking cakes, freshly made cooking cakes."

"Supplement, roseberry from the Western Regions, delicious roseberry."

"Have some crescent moon."

The streets and alleys are well developed, with Hanzhong connecting Guanzhong in the north, Bashu in the south, Longyou in the west, and Nanyang in the east.

Therefore, just like Jiangzhou, it has become a distribution center for north-south trade, gathering folk customs from all over the country.

Although there have been endless wars in Guanzhong over the years, Hanzhong was relatively stable under Zhang Lu's rule, so a large number of refugees from Guanzhong fled to Hanzhong, which also brought cultural and economic exchanges to this place.

Fazheng and his party did not stop, and found Yang Song's master's residence all the way.

In fact, he has no friendship with Yang Song, but his grandfather is a famous scholar in Guanzhong, and his family is in Fufengmei County, which is very close to Hanzhong. Pass Yang Song on both sides.

So the two sides can't talk about being friends.

But because of this, Fazheng also knew at that time that Yang Song was extremely greedy for money, so he had a countermeasure.

At this moment, outside Yang Song's mansion, Fazheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the servant of Yang's family opened the door and asked about the situation. Fazheng handed over the greeting card and answered the old man's visit, and the servant went back to report to Yang Song.

Yang Song was reading some documents in the mansion at this time, and the servant reported to the central hall: "Master, there are visitors outside the door."

"who is it?"

Yang Song asked without raising his head.

The servant carefully handed over the greeting card and said, "He said his name is Fazheng, and his name is Xiaozhi."

"Fazheng?"

Yang Song didn't even bother to look at the greeting post, and said, "If you haven't heard of it, just say I'm not here."

"Yes."

The servant is about to leave.

Yang Song put down the official document in his hand, glanced at the greeting card, flipped it casually, frowned suddenly, and said, "Wait a minute."

"Owner."

The servant turned back respectfully and waited for Yang Song's order.

Yang Song stroked his beard, his eyes slightly puzzled, he didn't understand why Fazheng was here.

At this moment, Zhang Wei led the troops to station in Mianyang to prevent the Guanzhong warlords from taking advantage of the emptiness of Hanzhong. In Nanzheng City, only Li Xiu, the army commander, and Yang Song, the chief secretary, were there.

Li Xiu was just a middle- and lower-level officer. Although he was in charge of the entire city, Yang Song was superior to him. Therefore, in fact, Yang Song became the highest official in Nanzheng County and controlled the entire Nanzheng County.

In this case, Yang Song has a lot of power, and countless people visit him every day. Hearing that the old man Fazheng is visiting, he doesn't remember who it is for a while, so he thinks he is another person who clings to the powerful and wants to send him away. up.

But seeing Fazheng self-reported his family name on the invitation post, with the names of his grandfather Fazhen and his father Fayan, Yang Song remembered, isn't Fazheng the current military captain under Liu Zhang?

It is indeed a strange thing that Liu Zhang's school lieutenant suddenly appeared in Hanzhong.

But Yang Song remembered that when Fazheng fled from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, he had met him a few times. Since he came, it was inconvenient to refuse him, so he said, "Let him in."

"Yes."

The servant went out to open the door for Fazheng.

Yang Song looked at the back of the servant leaving, his eyes sparkled.

He wanted to see what Fazheng came to tell him.

After a while, Fazheng came in.

As soon as he entered, Fa Zheng cupped his hands and smiled at Yang Song, "I haven't seen you in a few years, how is Mr. Yang doing?"

"Xiao Zhi, thank you for your concern, you are living well."

Yang Song laughed and said, "Since you went to Bashu, I miss you very much. Come on, sit down."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang."

Fazheng walked over and sat down.

He was still holding a heavy bag, which made a crisp sound when it was placed on the table.

Yang Song's eyes straightened when he heard the voice.

As a person who is extremely greedy for money, this voice is like gold and silver colliding.

For a while, Yang Song's heart was surging.

However, he didn't make it too obvious, he quickly stroked his beard to calm down, and then asked: "I heard that Xiaozhi is now a lieutenant under Liu Yizhou, why did you come to Hanzhong again?"

Fazheng smiled and said: "Back to Duke Yang, I'm here to protect Duke Yang's prosperity and prosperity, and also to cut off Zhang Lu's retreat."

"Ok?"

Yang Song's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Fazheng with displeasure, "What does Xiaozhi mean?"

Fazheng said: "Does Yang Gong know about the left general Liu Xuande?"

"Naturally know."

Yang Song said without hesitation: "He is in Jiangzhou right now."

"Do not."

Fazheng smiled slightly: "He's in Hanzhong right now."

"what?"

Yang Song was shocked and said: "This is impossible!"

"Mr. Yang didn't know that General Zuo had already obtained the entire Jingzhou. He set up an army of [-] to attack Xichuan and wanted to take the land in the southwest. Although Zhang Lu was wooing the people, General Zuo was personally appointed by the imperial court. , so I am willing to grant officials to the people, to give them money and grain, and to make them effective."

Fazheng said with a smile: "The people are poor, Du Wei, Pu Hu, and Yuan Yue are willing to surrender. At one time, more than [-] troops were enthusiastic. Now they have captured Dangqu Hanchang and entered Hanzhong. They can reach Nanzheng within a few days. Under the city. I have some friendship with Duke Yang, and I know that if the army arrives, Duke Yang may not be spared, so I volunteered to General Zuo to persuade Duke Yang."

"This"

Yang Song hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether what Fazheng said was true or not.

Seeing his hesitation, Fazheng knew what he was thinking, so he said again: "If Yang Gong doesn't believe it, you can send someone to hurry to Xigou with my entourage. At present, there are five thousand vanguards of General Zuo's trilogy stationed in Xigou. , more than [-] troops in the rear are on the road, only a few days away from Nanzheng."

Yang Song pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you immediately and send troops to block Micang Road?"

Fazheng spread his hands together, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang knows the importance of Xigou. After leaving Xigou, Hanzhong is flat and flat. There is no danger to defend. The left generals are all elite. You can gather all the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, but you can't break it. If you delay for a few days, and the left general's army of more than [-] arrives, Hanzhong will not be able to hold it. At that time, Duke Yang is afraid."

Yang Song's face changed drastically.

Because Fazheng is speaking the truth.

The entrance and exit of Micang Road is in Xigou, and when you come out from Xigou, you will find the Hanzhong Plain.

Liu Bei's army is guarding here. If Yang Song can't completely wipe out Wei Yanbu, when Liu Bei's main force arrives and more than [-] troops pour into Hanzhong, he will be completely finished.

After all, Chengdu is thousands of miles away from Hanzhong. It is impossible for Yang Song to expect that Zhang Lu, who is currently in Chengdu, can come back quickly to help him.

So as long as Xigou is occupied, Fazheng will have nothing to fear.

But Fazheng saw that Yang Song's face was ugly and he didn't speak for a long time, so he untied the burden on the table and case, revealing the gold inside, and said, "Mr. Wait. The seven surnamed Yi kings led an army of 150 people to surrender, and General Zuo bestowed Du Wei as the prefect of Brazil, and Pu Hu as the prefect of Padong. The rewards of gold and silver alone amounted to a thousand catties, and five baht worth hundreds of millions. Ten catties, [-] catties of gold, and [-] catties of silver, because they are inconvenient to carry, are temporarily placed in Xigou. If Yang Gong is willing to surrender, not only the position of the prefect of Hanzhong, but also these gold and silver."

When Yang Song saw the gold on the table, his breath became short of breath and his eyes lit up.

A catty of Eastern Han Dynasty is about 223 grams.

Fifty catties of gold is actually about 11 kilograms.

Not to mention the money in the Han Dynasty, even in later generations, it is an astronomical figure, worth several million.

Not to mention that this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are 150 catties of gold and [-] catties of silver, which makes Yang Song, who has always been greedy for money, almost not excited to recite it.

"This matter. This matter"

Yang Song panted heavily, looking at the heavy gold on the table, he didn't know what to say.

Holding the gold in both hands, Fazheng walked to Yang Song's table with a smile, and said, "This matter is very easy for Yang Gong. Think about it, Yang Gong. Attack the city, capture Nanzheng, take the troops of General Zuo, take Yangping Pass in the west, and then garrison Dingjunshan, block Zhang Lu's road back to Hanzhong, and slowly besiege Hanzhong. How long does Yang Gong think Hanzhong can last?"

"Forehead"

Yang Song couldn't help but want to touch the gold with his hands.

Fazheng pushed Jin Zi to Yang Song, and said, "Duke Yang, think about it again. Regardless of whether Hanzhong defends or surrenders, Zhang Lu will be destroyed. Is it worth dying for someone who is about to be defeated? If Duke Yang Returning to General Zuo, and then persuading Duke Yang’s younger brother, General Yang, to submit to him is not only a great achievement, but also must be reused by General Zuo, this is the best choice.”

"The words of filial piety are very reasonable."

Yang Song stroked the gold, as if he saw a long-lost relative, and said excitedly: "Welcoming General Zuo into Hanzhong is exactly what I want, and I will do it according to Xiaozhi's wishes. We agreed on a date and waited for General Zuo's army to arrive. Outside Nanzheng City, I will open the city gate and let the army enter the city."

A bright smile appeared on Fazheng's face. He put his hands in his sleeves, took two steps back, and bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Yang is wise!"

　I really like Fazheng, hahaha, because I found that his character is the same as the protagonist Chen Mu in the last book, both sinister and cunning, I like it.
