"The situation in Yizhou has been tense recently, I wonder if my brother has ever thought of finding another way?" Since Zhang Song took the initiative to inquire about it, Fa Zheng did not hide it, and went straight to the point, directly explaining the key to the problem.

This is definitely a straightforward and honest treatment, and at first glance it is to find out the core of the problem, which can be described as a knife to the point, leaving no room for error.

If Zhang Song is vague, or perfunctory, or cares about other things, then there is no need to say what Fa Zheng is going to say next.

This may be the result of Zhang Song's sincerity, and Fa Zheng also did not hide it, and resolutely spoke frankly and bluntly.

After Zhang Song heard this, Huo Ran's eyes, which were already half-squinted and half-closed, opened and stared directly at Fa Zheng, staring at Fa Zheng for a long time without blinking.

After he looked away, he slowly picked up the wine cup and drank to himself, one after another, as if he was using wine to drown his sorrows, or taking this opportunity to think about the questions raised by Fa Zheng.

Indeed, Zhang Song could not help but think seriously and weigh carefully. After all, all the glory he has obtained now is given by the current lord Liu Zhang, and he can't help but be grateful for this kindness, and he can't put it aside and turn a blind eye.

The reason why people are human beings is because they not only have smart minds, industrious hands, and incomparable creative power; It is also because people have many emotions that other living beings do not have, delicate and sincere feelings.

Before meeting Liu Zhang, Zhang Song had always been unknown, not to mention being treated coldly, and was sneered at openly and secretly, suffering from white eyes and suffering. However, since he was appreciated by Liu Zhang, this qiē suddenly changed, and no one dared to despise him anymore, and no one dared to sneer at him anymore. No one dares to talk about his short stature and ugly appearance, and he is respected everywhere he goes, and he is in the spotlight everywhere he goes. This qiē was given to him by Liu Zhang. It is tantamount to giving him a new lease of life, and he will be a man with a straight waist and a straight waist.

However, what has to be considered is that Liu Zhang's powerful position to give him Zhang Song is limited to this. Since then, all he has received is some material rewards, and he can no longer obtain a higher official title and a bigger stage to display his talents. This is because although Yizhou has a large land and abundant resources, it is rich in people. But after all, it is located in a corner, and there is only one state, which restricts the talents of many people who claim to be outstanding. That. No matter how talented he is, even if he is a talent who has been through heaven and earth, he can only stay in Yizhou, and at most he will serve as a deputy driver or a county guard. There is no other possibility.

And the crux of this qiē lies in Liu Zhang. Because he had no ambition to take over other states. I don't want to make progress, I want to be content with pleasure, I just want to sit in Yizhou for the rest of my life, enjoy myself in the "kingdom" that belongs to him, and live for a long time.

In this way, all the civil and military generals who followed him could only be confined to Yizhou, and their lifelong ideals and struggles were confined to one state. No matter how outstanding his talents are, at best, he is a county talent, like a frog at the bottom of a well. has always been fixed in a circle, and there is no more room to play.

Precisely because of this. Many people with lofty ideals in Yizhou have admonished countless times, wanting Liu Zhang to lead the Yizhou army out of Yizhou, enter the Central Plains, and even compete for the country and win the world. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang was indifferent at all, and he didn't even have the courage to be the king and the emperor, let alone chase the Central Plains and win the world?

It is also because of this situation that the internal strife in Yizhou is extremely fierce, and intrigue, open and secret fighting are everywhere. After all, Yizhou's subordinates have no other room to play, so they can only fight wits and courage within the state and county, so as to obtain some of the satisfaction they want, and the most is to satisfy their vanity, so that they will not be in love and bored.

However, while the officials of Yizhou were not satisfied with the status quo, the people of Yizhou enjoyed this peaceful life without war. After all, the people do not have so many requirements from high-ranking officials and nobles, let alone their vigorous energy, what the people need is actually very simple, that is, they hope that the life of the family will get better and better year by year, their children can be stronger from generation to generation, and the family will be happy and healthy, as for the rest, they don't want to think about anything else. In fact, the people did not want to, but clearly knew that there were some unrealistic things that could not be obtained even if they thought about it, so they simply did not think about it; The requirements are simple in order to be satisfied, otherwise it will be too tiring to live for a lifetime, and in the end it will be empty.

This may be the difference between ordinary people and officials. The people have spent their whole lives trying to find the land in their own name, working hard, working hard with blood and sweat, and when they see the harvest, they will feel very happy; This is the fruit of hard work, simple happiness, and the source of all happiness in the world. In contrast, officials spend most of their lives pondering people and things, and their main goal is still people, pondering their superiors, subordinates, people around them, and all those who are related to their own interests; The higher the position, the more mind is put into thinking about people, and vice versa.

And the source of this qiē comes from the "superior person who controls the person". If you want to employ people, you must understand the people you use, and this requires a multi-faceted understanding and deep thinking, and then you can appoint them. And all the superior people are the owners of rights, and the rights themselves cannot directly create wealth, but the rights can influence the distribution of wealth, so as to dominate wealth. It is precisely because of this that all happiness in the world comes from the hard work of ordinary people, otherwise every qiē is a flower in the mirror. (Off topic, but this is what Hu Ben wants to say, and it is also the most simple truth that I hope book friends can understand.) Maybe Xiaoqi can't bring you much practical gain, but at least it can explain some simple truths thoroughly; If this can be done, it will not be in vain for more than 400 days and nights. ）

?????? While drinking by himself, Zhang Song got drunk and fell asleep directly in the lobby.

Ever since Fa Zheng asked the question with a sharp question, he didn't open his mouth or say a word from beginning to end, but he fell asleep soundly in the midst of drinking one after another.

He is evading, or evading, but at least he is not prevaricating and perfunctory, and he is not clever enough to deceive the Fazheng.

He didn't say a word, but he told the answer to the Fazheng, silence is the answer, and the answer is: he hesitated, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

There was no need to go to the discussion the next day, so Zhang Song slept late and didn't get up, while Fa Zheng slept with him, but he had already gotten up.

After Zhang Song freshened up and eaten, he sat with Fa Zheng again, making tea and talking in the water pavilion in the back garden.

"What the virtuous brother said last night, the foolish brother is really difficult to answer. Where the faux pas are, I also hope that the virtuous brother Yaliang Haihan. Pour a cup of tea for Fa Zheng with his own hands, Zhang Song apologized to Fa Zheng very sincerely.

Fa Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother doesn't need to mind, the younger brother can understand the difficulties of the elder brother." Speaking of which, it is also the younger brother who is abrupt, knowing that Liu Jiyu has the grace of knowing and supporting his brother, but he still asks such a sharp question, which is indeed suspected of making things difficult for his brother. Now that I think about it, it's really that the little brother is too presumptuous, and he really shouldn't be! ”

Zhang Song's expression was slightly stunned, and he smiled dumbly, and said: "If the foolish brother is not mistaken, filial piety is a person who will not admit his mistakes, this time it is the first of its kind, and it is an exception!" Hehehe! ”

Fa Zheng gladly accepted it, without the slightest excuse, and said frankly: "What my brother said is good. The younger brother was really stubborn before, very conceited, never admitting defeat, and would not admit mistakes. However, when my younger brother came out, he followed my father-in-law for a year, got along day and night, and learned from my father-in-law the habit of recognizing mistakes and correcting mistakes. Although my father-in-law never openly admits his mistakes, if he realizes that he is wrong, he will correct it immediately, and he will not admit his mistake until he has corrected it.

At that time, the foolish brother was very puzzled by this, and it was not until later that he realized it. As the master of the people, even if you do something wrong, you can't admit it, but you can correct it. After everything has been corrected, admitting mistakes is an open-minded and attitude; But when you make a mistake, you can't admit it, because the master needs to maintain his high prestige and status. Therefore, as far as the younger brother is concerned, he does not have so many concerns, he will change his mistakes when he knows them, and it is not a shame to admit his mistakes. Does my brother think so? ”

Zhang Song nodded lightly and said thoughtfully: "The general is indeed the lord of the world, this is an indisputable fact. Not to mention the previous outstanding achievements, just talking about the battle of Hebei, the general suffered the biggest defeat in his life, but he led his troops out again more than a month later, recovering Xuzhou in one fell swoop, thus occupying half of the country. Just with this courage and courage that is becoming more and more frustrated, it makes the foolish brother admire! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Song looked directly at Fa Zheng, deliberately lowered his voice, and said: "Xiaozhi must have a heavy mission to enter Sichuan this time, if the foolish brother expects it to be good, it must be the general who is eyeing Yizhou, and he will send troops to the southwest in the near future." I wonder if what the foolish brother said is true? ”

After Fa Zheng heard this, he nodded slightly with a calm expression, and said in a low voice: "The elder brother is quick to think, which makes the younger brother very convinced. Indeed, as my brother said, this time my lord wants to send troops to Xichuan, and I hope that my brother will help me at that time! ”

After a pause, Fa Zheng didn't wait for Zhang Song to speak, and continued: "Brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse for the time being, just listen to what the younger brother has to say." Yizhou Liu Jiyu is weak and incompetent, content with pleasure, and does not want to forge ahead, which is a well-known fact. It has been more than six years since he took Yizhou, but he has allowed Nanban to be a disaster for Yizhou for many years, but there is nothing to be done, and he is helpless. This alone is enough to show that he is mediocre and incompetent, even if he is not a dumb king, he is also a mediocre master. Therefore, compared with my father-in-law, Liu Jiyu is clear at a glance. Because of this, the younger brother came here to persuade the elder brother to abandon the darkness and join the younger brother to serve under the command of my lord. With the talent of the elder brother, the younger brother thinks that the elder brother is at least the history of a state, and only in this way can the elder brother show his strengths and live up to what he has learned in his life. I wonder if my brother thinks so? ”

"Ugh! This ??????" Zhang Song was surprised, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and he immediately strengthened his mind, and said with a straight face: "Brother Xian is too much to promote a foolish brother, I am really ashamed." However, although the foolish brother is a different driver, he has no military power in his hands, so he really can't help the virtuous brother, and he can't help the general. This section, the virtuous brother knows it well. In this way, what else can the foolish brother do to help the virtuous brother? There is one thing, the foolish brother declared in advance that the foolish brother will never do anything to kill the master! ”
