Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west in Sichuan and Sichuan, had no way of knowing the general changes that had taken place in Shandong, or even the changes to the overall situation caused by his current status and territory, or in other words, even if he knew, he would not care about it for the time being.
After all, Sichuan and Sichuan are still the most important at the moment.
In the past two days, in Langzhong, a special guest came.
Although Liu Bei discovered the caravan roads used by the Sichuan and Sichuan surnames to transport and purchase goods, and attempted to intercept and deal with them, the first ones to set off had already arrived in Langzhong. Among the caravans, in addition to the normal caravan shopkeepers, there was also a
Person, Peng Yi.
Peng Yi did not come directly to visit Fei Qian, but first took the route of Huang Quan, and then followed Huang Quan to visit Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west. After all, if he came directly, although Peng Yi was currently in Sichuan, there were some
Although he has a good reputation, he does not hold any important court position, and he might not even be able to see Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West.
After the guests and hosts were seated, and while the guards were serving tea, Fei Qian took a look at Peng Yi and saw that this man was eight feet tall, which was different from ordinary Sichuan natives, such as Zhang Song. In addition,
He is also quite burly in stature. If placed among ordinary people from Sichuan and Sichuan, he would seem to stand out from the crowd. However, for Fei Qian, after being used to seeing tall men from Bingzhou, Xiliang, Peng Yi's height and appearance were just as bad.
I regard it as ordinary and don't feel that it is outstanding.
Fei Qian asked while inviting tea: "The road to Sichuan is rugged and difficult. I heard that Peng Jun traveled thousands of miles to visit us and it was hard work. I wonder if he came by car or by boat?"
Peng Yi cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to General Zhengxi, I drove the car first and then the boat, but there is no mention of hard work..." Peng Yi said with a rather arrogant expression on his face.
Fei Qian frowned slightly and looked at Huang Quan.
Huang Quan seemed to be holding the tea bowl to drink tea, but before picking up the tea bowl, he stretched out two fingers and made walking gestures on the table...
Um?
oh.
Fei Qian nodded slightly and generally understood what Huang Quan meant. Just now Fei Qian said that traveling in Sichuan was difficult, but Peng Yi said that traveling in Sichuan was not difficult. In addition to showing his ability, he also implicitly meant that Peng Yi had the power in his hands.
Following a route, this route can be used by merchants, carts and boats, which means that it can pass large armies and soldiers...
Naturally, the locals in Sichuan and Shu are most familiar with the roads in Sichuan and Shu, and at that moment, the words "Come and beg me" were almost written on Peng Yi's face.
Fei Qian, on the other hand, smiled and didn't answer Peng Yi's problem at all. He pretended not to know at all and said with a smile: "Shan. I wonder if Mr. Peng is here this time to visit relatives or friends?"
"..." Peng Yi looked at Fei Qian and seemed a little surprised, but soon showed a nonchalant look and said, "No, I want to go north to see the scenery in Guan Pass. If I have time, I also want to go to Yinshan Mountain...
…”
Fei Qian nodded and said: "People from Sichuan and Sichuan, either born here or visiting here, probably have never seen the scenery of the north. Yunbei is extremely cold, but in fact it is not necessarily so. The heat in summer is no less than
The beauty of the scenery in the south is no less than that of Sichuan and Sichuan. I see that Mr. Peng's complexion is not good, but is he feeling unwell?"
From then on, Fei Qian started talking non-stop, without mentioning any important military or political matters. He treated Peng Yi as an ordinary friend. On the one hand, he cared about Peng Yi's health, and on the other hand, he introduced him to the scenic spots inside and outside Guanzhong.
He also said that he was really busy with official duties and could not accompany him, so he could only let Peng Yi go on his own. However, he reassured Peng Yi that as long as it was within his own territory, he would not let Peng Yi lose his food, clothing, and food...
Fei Qian's words were as if he simply had a friend come from afar to travel on his own, and he was provided with food, accommodation, and hospitality like a tour guide, but he didn't say a word about the camps and positions of both parties.
Peng Yi looked at Fei Qian for a moment, then suddenly smiled, and followed Fei Qian's words, rambling in random directions, but none of them fell into place.
After chatting with such meaningless words for more than an hour, until the sun began to turn to the west, Fei Qian finally got a little annoyed and didn't want to spend too much time on Peng Yi anymore, so he said: "Peng Jun came to visit and we talked very happily.
.However, I am busy with my affairs and have no time to spare... It is already late today. You have come from a far away place and have been stuck all the way. You might as well rest early and meet again when I am free..."
So Peng Yi took his leave and Fei Qian saw off his guests.
Fei Qian sent Huang Quan to arrange a place for Peng Yi to stay. It wasn't long before Huang Quan came back and said that everything had been arranged. However, he also scratched his head and said, "Peng Yong has come here all year long and has nothing to say about what he has gained?"
When Peng Yi contacted Huang Quan and expressed that he wanted to meet Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, Huang Quan guessed that Peng Yi was preparing to offer the route to Chengdu. However, when they actually met, he made nonsense of it.
Huang Quan was a little surprised by the nonsense and not talking about business at all. Is this guy Peng Yi just talking a lot of nonsense just to meet General Zhengxi?
Fei Qian figured it out, and immediately said: "Gong Heng might as well go and have a rest... I know that Peng Yongnian will have something to ask for when he comes here..." This kind of thing happened a lot in the negotiation field in later generations, and both sides were holding back.
He was so angry that he refused to talk about business first, because opening his mouth meant that his side was more urgent, and the cards he had were invisibly less ordinary. Although Peng Yi's cards were very good, they were actually not good enough.
It's just that one card. If you really want to go to the card table, of course you have to look at the timing before betting, otherwise you will only get a few small points. Peng Yi, or the big names in Sichuan and Sichuan behind Peng Yi, will naturally not be happy.
Therefore, it has become a normal thing for Peng Yi to hold it.
But the problem is that Fei Qian does not necessarily need the cards in Peng Yi's hand, so Fei Qian is naturally not in a hurry to negotiate terms with Peng Yi...
Just waste it, Fei Qian is in no hurry anyway.
Sure enough, within the past two days, Peng Yi came to visit Zheng Xi again and asked to see Zheng Xi.
He immediately bowed his head and bowed to see him. Fei Qian did not feel arrogant because of this, and stepped forward to help him up with his own hands, saying, "You don't have to be like this forever...I don't know what to say when you come here."
This time, Peng Yi really didn't go around in circles and said straight to the point: "I really don't dare to hide it from the general... He came from Chengdu to ask the general to save the people of Chengdu from fire and water!" Of course, what Peng Yi said here is
Whether the people mentioned are real people or the kind of people who have leftover meat is a matter of opinion.
Fei Qian pretended to be surprised by his allies and said: "How far has the chaos in Chengdu come to this?" Didn't you all support Liu Zhang before, and you still support him in coming to fight against me?
Peng Yi hurriedly said: "Liu Yizhou didn't know the heights of the sky, so he tried to resist the general's heavenly troops and lure Liu Xuande into Sichuan... Who knew that Liu Xuande had the heart of a tiger and a wolf, so he turned against the guests, separatized the central Sichuan, and caused trouble in the area..."
Hey, it's true that the nobles opened their mouths and said that life is life and death is death. Okay, even if we don't talk about whether Liu Zhang treats you well or not, is it worthy of your evaluation? Just talk about Liu Bei. Fei Qian remembers that it doesn't matter if it's the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Or in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seems that Liu Bei's governance of Sichuan and Shu was somewhat positively evaluated. How come it came to Peng Yi's mouth, as if he was like a criminal with no mercy, committing all kinds of evil and tormenting the countryside?
However, Fei Qian did not argue with Peng Yi about this point. Instead, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "I have already submitted a request... Your Majesty, please appoint Liu Yizhou's son as the governor of Yizhou and rule Sichuan and Shu..."
Of course Liu Yizhou was not Liu Bei, but the dead Liu Yan, and Liu Yizhou's son was of course not Liu Zhang, but Liu Dan.
To be honest, Liu Dan is still a serious ruler of Yizhou, so this is why Fei Qian spared no effort to ask Zuo Ci to protect Liu Dan's life. After Liu Yan died
, Dongzhou people and Sichuan Shu people, considering their own interests, united and elected Liu Zhang as the successor, but as Liu Yan's other son, strictly speaking, he also has the right to inherit. In other words, Liu Zhang and Liu Dan
They are all recommended, but the weight of the person who recommends them is different. As an important minister of the imperial court, Fei Qian, the general of the expedition to the west, naturally has more weight. As for Liu Bei, he is no different from the self-proclaimed one. He greets him when he meets.
Liu Shijun, but actually I don’t know whether he is called Yizhou or Yuzhou...
Fei Qian's move was naturally to divide Sichuan and Shu, and to allow himself to march into the country under an upright banner. At least in the Han Dynasty, many people still did this.
What Fei Qian means is that I have big names here, and they represent orthodoxy. You guys are all unworthy, so don't act like a big-tailed wolf.
Peng Yi was obviously prepared. When he saw Fei Qian's words, he immediately responded: "If the imperial court canonize you, we will naturally obey... However, the current imperial court is not the emperor's court. Cao Sikong is arbitrary in it. This Yizhou
The position may not be easy to determine..."
According to the standards of later generations, Liu Xie, the Han Emperor, was still considered a young man. However, according to the standards of the Han Dynasty, he was basically considered an adult. Logically speaking, he should gradually step up to the stage and handle political affairs personally.
And from another point of view, Cao Cao, Sikong, was just a monk halfway. He was not the minister Tuogu when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, nor was he the regent appointed by the emperor. Therefore, the move to evade the emperor was in the minds of many people.
They were all a little unhappy. What Peng Yi meant was to instruct General Fei of the Western Expedition to return to the upper table. It was still of no use. Cao Cao would never approve Liu Dan to take over as the governor of Yizhou and let Fei, the General of the Expedition to the West.
Potentially cheap.
Fei Qian did not argue with Peng Yi on this aspect. When he pointed out Liu Dan's point just now, he was just expressing his position and telling Peng Yi not to think that he could use his identity as the master of Sichuan and Shu to speak as he was staying in Sichuan and Shu.
, Sichuan and Shu may belong to Liu Bei, or they may belong to Liu Dan, but they will definitely not belong to Peng Yi and others. Let Peng Yi correct his position. Therefore, seeing what Peng Yi said, he did not continue to delve deeper, but
He nodded and remained silent.
Sometimes, silence is a way to exert pressure, especially for those in a higher position. This method is more commonly used, just like when the leader of the family gets angry. They often say, "You realize what you did wrong."
Well, then he remained silent, without nodding or shaking his head, just waiting for the prey to automatically and spontaneously expose all its weaknesses and mistakes.
So Fei Qian remained silent, which was tantamount to telling Peng Yi to say it quickly and say it quickly. Anyway, Fei Qian didn't want to continue chatting with Peng Yi about the more orthodox topic of who the Lord of Sichuan and Shu was.
"The general is now in charge of the third auxiliary, with orders reaching Heluo, horses riding west of the river, and troops stationed in Yinshan. The general situation in the world is already in the third and fourth places. If Sichuan and Shu are added, half of the mountains and rivers will be..." Peng Yi also changed the topic and said
, "At that time, the general will seize the power of Qin, and he can go out of Han Valley in the east and sweep across the north and south, and then the world will be settled..."
Hey, if you say it so well, does it count as "Langzhong Dui"?
Is the general trend of the world, haha, as long as this nobleman has a little bit of publicity, he will be worried about it, just like Fei Qian when he was young, he would be indignant and angrily pointing out the country and spitting.
I look like I am awake alone. Now that I think about it, knowing how to give advice is valuable, but knowing how to do it is the most important thing.
It’s like it’s been said that Long and Zhong are right, but in fact, there were problems with the strategy from the beginning. Brother Zhu was still young at that time, and a lot of his knowledge came from the contents of books, and he had never been to Sichuan and Shu. Naturally,
I don’t know that the roads Liu Bang took back then have been cut off. The Chencang Road and the Han River Road are no longer suitable for marching and transporting food. The so-called two armies marching separately have already lost a leg from the beginning.
When they entered Sichuan and Shu and lost Jingzhou, they had to use this broken leg to support the cause of the Northern Expedition...
"As the saying goes, it is easier to know than to do..." Fei Qian said calmly, not excited by the so-called "great cause" described by Peng Yi, "What's more, the emperor is wise, even if there is chaos, there will be peace in the end..."
Does Fei Qian have any ambitions himself?
Nonsense, when you sit in this position, even if you have no ambition, you will be constantly pushed upward by your subordinates, and you have to be ambitious. But will Fei Qian admit this matter in front of Peng Yi?
No need to think about it.
As for using superficial words such as achieving great things to make Fei Qian obey obediently and serve the needs of big families in Sichuan and Sichuan such as Peng Yi, that is simply a joke.
Peng Yi was silent for a moment, as if he had thought about it and finally made up his mind. He bowed his hands and bowed again, and solemnly said: "If the general can march into central Sichuan to drive away the soldiers, I am willing to unite all the surnames in Sichuan and worship under the general. Only the general
Follow your lead!"
This sentence has some meaning, at least it shows an attitude. Fei Qian naturally wanted to give some response, and immediately said that the land of Sichuan and Shu is also the territory of the Han Dynasty. Since Sichuan and Shu have suffered military harm, naturally they cannot sit idly by.
At this point, both sides couldn't help but laugh. It was clear that Liu Bei had been put at risk of military harm.
Once we have reached agreement on the general direction, we will naturally have to talk about some specific issues next.
Fei Qian leaned forward slightly, expressing his concern for this issue, "In Yongnian's opinion, who are Liu Bei and Liu Xuande? What about the troops they lead?"
Peng Yi said without any pause: "Liu Xuande is a villain, and the soldiers under his command are all rabble, so there is nothing to worry about!"
oh?
Fei Qian raised his eyebrows, looked at Peng Yi with a half-smile, and said: "So in Sichuan and Shu, there are so many soldiers and talents, but they all fell into his hands?" Liu Bei really said so badly, then as a person from Sichuan and Shu
Wouldn't it be worse if it fell into Liu Bei's hands like this?
Hearing this, Peng Yi raised his head and glanced at Fei Qian. He was silent for a moment, then leaned down and said, "General, you are aware of this..."
