Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wu was destroyed, and the one who was most worried was Liu Bei, because Liu Bei and his subordinates all knew that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were planning day and night on how to survive under the alliance of Fan and Cao.  According to common sense, the side of Jiaozhou had newly acquired Yangzhou, so it should attack so that the side of Jiaozhou could not take a breather to gain the initiative, but Liu Bei did not do this.  It left everyone scratching their heads as to what Liu Bei was thinking.

    Four months have passed like this

    Chengdu.  Liu Bei asked: "Can we start?" Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both nodded.  "Hmph!" Liu Bei smiled and said, "If we want to revive the Han Dynasty, then Fan Li and the Cao thieves must be eliminated! Hee hee! This is a good move! It will definitely revitalize the entire situation!" Liu Bei looked confident.  Man, turned to Fazheng and said: "Xiaozhi, when you are sent to Fan Lichu as envoy, you have to go with great fanfare so that you can tell Cao Cao that I have a good relationship with Fan Li!" "Yes! Lord!" Fazheng said goodbye and left.

    When Fazheng arrived in Jiaozhou, he went to Zhuge Xin and Fan Yong first. He gave them Zhuge Liang's letter and conveyed Liu Bei's feelings. Zhuge Xin and Fan Yong were very happy.

    Fan Yong personally led Fazheng to see me.  After reciting the ceremony, Fa Zheng got right to the point and said: "Fan Jiaozhou, I was sent by my lord Liu Yuzhou to pay homage to Jiaozhou! My lord originally wanted to come in person, but he couldn't spare the time! So he ordered me to  Come and make friends earlier!" Fazheng said this again in a polite way.

    I felt strange, so I asked, "I don't know if Mr. Liu has anything to teach Changle. Please ask Mr. Fa to explain it clearly!" Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Okay! People who understand don't tell secrets! I'll tell the truth! Look at it.  Han, the most loyal people to the Han are Fan Jiaozhou and my lord, so my lord wants to work with Fan Jiaozhou to destroy Cao's thieves and help the Han Dynasty become famous in history. Isn't this the most beautiful thing?" I smiled and said:  "I'm willing to do anything for the big man! I'll do my best!"

    "Hee" Fa Zheng had long expected that I would answer like this. He stood up and said loudly: "Okay! Great!" I didn't expect Fa Zheng to be so excited. Fa Zheng said with a smile on his face: "Fan Jiaozhou, my lord is here.  I know that you are sincere and have long wanted to see Fan Jiaozhou's heroic appearance. I would like to ask Fan Jiaozhou to make an appointment at a time and place to meet and share our friendship to satisfy our Lord's admiration!"

    "Ah?" I was stunned and said, "Is it up to me to decide the time and place?" Fazheng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes! When he attacked and killed Sun Quan in Fanjiaozhou, my lord sent  Deng Zhi came to congratulate him. Originally, there were some unscrupulous traitors in our side who wanted to let our lord take advantage of Fan Jiaozhou's new acquisition of Yangzhou to launch a massive attack. This would surely lead to great success! However, our lord sternly refused and punished the traitors. Because  My lord just appreciates Fan Jiaozhou¡¯s talent and character, and he also knows that Fan Jiaozhou is loyal to the Han Dynasty and will not sit idly by and ignore the rebellious officials and traitors who covet the artifact!"

    Fazheng's flattery was filled with hardness, and every sentence pointed out that I would not stand with Cao Cao. I still had to smile and say: "Of course! Han ministers must fulfill their Han Dynasty!"  Be loyal to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!" "Okay! Okay!" Fa Zheng said: "My lord will meet with Fan Jiaozhou this time to talk about friendship and not state affairs. It is a purely personal matter. Fan Jiaozhou will set a time!" I paused.  Said: "Okay, let's meet in the middle of this month! Meet at the junction of Yulin County and Yizhou."

    Fazheng said: "It must be in [Note 1] Xianggou County! Okay! I will go back and inform the lord!" "Yeah!" After I sent Fazheng away, Fan Yong was very happy and said: "Dad, it's really too bad."  Okay! No need to fight with my uncle! Everyone in Shu was very kind to me before I returned to my father. If the two sides are really hostile to each other, I really don¡¯t know what to do.  ah!"

    "Alas!" I sighed. Fan Yong still needs more training. Judging from what Fazheng said today, I know that the current non-fighting is only temporary. The friendship between Liu Bei and I is only superficial.  I put my hand on Fan Yong's shoulder and said, "Xi'er, if my father really wants to compete with your uncle and the heroes of the Shu Han Dynasty, who should you help?" "Father, father I  , I" Fan Yong didn't know how to answer me.

    I know his difficulties. After all, after that night with Zhuge Xin, Zhuge Xin followed Zhuge Liang to Sichuan, took care of him, trained him, and raised him up from Liu Bei's people. How could Fan Yong not harbor feelings for them?  What about deep emotions?

    I didn't want to embarrass him anymore and said, "Yong'er, if that day comes, my father will not send you to deal with the heroes of Shu, and my father promises you that as long as I can do it, I will try my best to help you."  You have cultivated such an excellent person who is kind to you! Don¡¯t worry! Father will do his best!¡±

    Fan Yong was overjoyed, bowed and said, "Thank you, father!" I smiled at Fan Yong and said, "Okay! Yong'er, if one day our armies meet, I will send you to guard Yangzhou." "Thank you.  Father!" Fan Yong thanked him again and again.  I looked into the distance, not knowing when to start the war with Liu Bei. But I could start the war with Cao Cao first, then Cao Cao wouldHe is Shiya's biological father and my father-in-law. That is not what I want to see. In fact, it would be great if the three parties could get together without fighting!  How wonderful it would be!  But I know this is just a delusion and it is impossible to realize it.

    Liu Bei and I met at the border of the two counties of Yulin and Zangqi, and we drank and chatted happily. We did not talk about state affairs, but family matters and interesting things. Zhuge Liang and Xuan Zheng rarely reminisced about the past.  Liu Bei gave me a lot of gifts, including a lot of weapons and food. I didn¡¯t know what Liu Bei was thinking, but he was so kind and I thought it was okay, so I accepted them all.

    After Liu Bei came back, he divided the southern part of Zangqi County into Xinggu County, governed Wanwen County, and renamed one county [Note 2] "Hanxing County".  When this happened, I felt strange. I don¡¯t know why Liu Bei invited me to have talks. He actually created a new county and changed the name of a county to "Hanxing". I don¡¯t know what he was playing.

    Liu Bei then sent Deng Zhi as the chief envoy and Zong Yu as the deputy envoy to deliver a large amount of property as a token of goodwill.  He also sent a letter, just saying, let's see how he goes north to support the Han Dynasty.

    I first asked Deng Zhi and Zong Yu to rest in the post house and gather everyone to discuss this matter.  Chen Zhi said: "Does Liu Bei want to attack Cao Cao alone and keep us neutral?"

    Jushou also said: "Cao and Liu are enemies. This is known to the world! These two forces have you and me. There will always be a fight! Now that we remain neutral, Liu Bei can attack Cao with all his heart. Originally, Zhuge Liang's  Longzhong is to unite with Sun Wu, occupy Jingyi, three-thirds of the world, and then try to unify the country. Facing the powerful Cao Cao, whether it is Liu Bei or us, it is difficult to compete with just one side, so we have to join forces!  Not only Liu Bei knows this, but we and Cao Cao also know it. Now that Sun Wu has been destroyed, Liu Bei does not ask us to unite to fight against Cao Cao, but only asks us not to help Cao Cao, that's fine!"

    I nodded and said, "Yeah! Liu Bei's letter was full of indignation about Cao Cao's separatist rule of Lujiang, South Xuzhou, and Danyang, which were formerly occupied by Sun Wu. He said that if I replace Sun Wu, then these territories should be mine! It seems that Liu Bei  The intention is very obvious! You want to get closer to me! If you know that Danyang and South Xuzhou are in Cao Cao¡¯s hands, then my Yangzhou will be in danger! It makes sense!"

    Chen Gong also persuaded: "Anyway, we can reap the benefits of Liu Cao's war. We have newly gained Yangzhou, so it is not appropriate to use troops. Let them fight! No matter which side's strength is damaged, it is good for us. Liu Bei  If Cao Cao is defeated, we can seize southern Xuzhou, Danyang, and Lujiang to ensure that Yangzhou is not lost."

    I asked again: "Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" Xuan Zheng and Tian Feng remained silent. The newly joined Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, and Lu Su were all deep in thought. After all, they knew that they were new members, so they didn't dare to take any risks without being completely sure.  Advise.

    [Note 1]: Zangke County (Zangyin Zang), the name of the county, was established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the sixth year of Yuanding (111 BC) to open up the southwestern barbarians.  To cure the disease and Lan County.  Zangke County leads seventeen counties: Guqielan County, Tanfeng County, Fan County (now west of Zunyi City, Guizhou Province), Luowo County, Pingyi County, Tongbin County, Tanzhi County, Wanwen County, Wulian County  County, Yelang County (Duweizhi), Wudan County, Lujiang County, Xisui County, Dumeng County, Tanyao County, Jinsang County (Southern Duwei), and Gouding County.  In the second year of Emperor Ping's reign (AD 2), there were 24,219 households with 153,360 people.  Its jurisdiction is roughly equivalent to most of present-day Guizhou, northwest Guangxi, eastern Yunnan and northwest Vietnam.  In the third year of Jianxing of the Shu Han Dynasty (225 years), Xinggu County was established in the south of Zoke County and governed Wanwen County. It governed Hanxing, Luwo, Gouding, Tanfeng, Jincheng, Bengu, Xifeng, Xisui and other counties.  .  I hereby declare that this is for plot purposes and is inconsistent with historical facts.

    [Note 2]: During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao and Han Sui and pacified Guanzhong, divided the pass into Hanxing County, and made You Chu the governor.  In Yangzhou, in the early years of Jian'an (196), Pucheng built by Yushan, the Minyue king of the Han Dynasty (during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), was built as "Hanxing County".  During the Three Kingdoms period, Xinggu County, which was separated from Yizhou Zangqi County, also included Hanxing County.  Therefore, the place name "Hanxing" was found in the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, so I would like to explain it here.

    Highlights of the next chapter: I turned to Xuezheng and said, "Zihong, what do you think?" Xuezheng said, "We are close to Liu Bei, Cao Cao must know it! How could a suspicious person like Cao Cao not be suspicious? What's more?  In troubled times, everyone seeks a single word of profit. Everyone knows that. Since Cao Cao no longer trusts us, if we help Cao Cao to attack Liu Bei, we may not gain much benefit. In the end, we will definitely incur Cao Cao's attack. At that time, it will be difficult to fight against Cao Cao alone.  , difficult! Keeping Liu Bei is still useful to us. It can hold Cao Cao back and let us accumulate time to become stronger. So I think it is okay." Tian Feng nodded.
