Wings of shu Han - Fazheng

Speaking of Liu Bei's think tank during the Three Kingdoms period, people will mostly mention wolong phoenix chicks for the first time. It was true, but even under such a powerful aura of the Wolong Phoenix Chick, there was still one person whose brilliance was still particularly prominent. And this person is the protagonist of this article, Fa Zheng Fa Filial Piety.

Fa Zheng, a native of Fufeng County, whose ancestors had a high name in the Later Han Dynasty, and whose father successively served as Situ Tuan and Ting Wei ZuoJian, which can be said to be after the famous family. In the early years of Jian'an, the world was starved, coupled with the continuous war between the Guanzhong generation at that time, which caused a large number of Guanlong people to flee to Yizhou. Fa-rectification is also among them.

A large number of refugees poured into Yizhou, and the refugees were undoubtedly unattainable for the local ruling class, because the pastoral guards could turn the strong into soldiers, and the weak could supplement the households, and enhance their military and economic strength; the strong could recruit them as subordinates, accept them as servants, and expand their own power. The refugees who have left their homes only want to have enough food and clothing, and the pastoralists and powerful people often recruit them at a very small cost. Liushi is a troublesome problem, because although there are also scholars and wise men among them, most of them are people who sell their reputations and reputations, talk and boast, and do not produce, who wants to spend grain to feed them? At that time, except for Liu Biaoken in Jingzhou, who was willing to spend money to feed a bunch of students, the exiles in other places were all accompanied by hunger and cold, poverty and illness. The "Book of Wu and the Biography of Quan Chun" describes the situation of a group of scholars who were displaced to Jiangdong at that time, and those Zhongyuan scholars and doctors in Jiangdong were "the life of the soldiers, and the worries were in the morning and night", if Quan Chun had not saved his life in time, he would have starved to death on the streets long ago. Even if some of the ryushi put down their faces and resisted the hoe to cultivate the land, they still had to worry about being oppressed by the ground snake. This phenomenon is not only in Jiangdong, but also in the whole country.

For this reason, the best way for Liushi is to find an official position in the local area, so as to have no worries about food and clothing. However, there were many monks and few porridges, and at that time, in order to seek a position and occupy a job among the states and counties, everyone was fighting openly and secretly, squeezing each other, and even fighting with each other in the end. The case of Fa-rectification is an example. After Fa Zheng entered Yizhou, he first had no position to work for, and after a long time, he was appointed by Liu Zhang as the new capital order, and then summoned as a lieutenant of the military council, but it was a blank cheque that only hung up the official name but did not appoint him. However, the compatriots who fled together slandered their conduct out of nowhere, which can be described as internal and external difficulties, and it is difficult to extend their ambitions.

Thanks to Zhang Song's later persuasion of Liu Zhang to welcome Liu Bei into Shu and let him crusade against Zhang Lu, Fa Zheng was appointed as an emissary, and Meng Da each led two thousand people to send an envoy to Liu Bei to welcome Liu Bei into Shu. Fa Zheng then secretly betrayed Liu Zhang and offered advice to Liu Bei: "Your Excellency, the world's talents, Liu Zhang's lack of the ability of the Lord, with Zhang Song as the internal response, to seize Yizhou; with the wealth of Yizhou as the foundation, relying on the dangers and obstacles of the kingdom of Heaven to achieve great things, it is as easy as a palm." Zhuge Liang's Longzhong believed that if he wanted to seize the world, he must occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou, and the defection of Fazheng and Zhang Song was a heavenly opportunity, so Liu Bei agreed and immediately led his army into Shu. In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212), Liu Bei falsely agreed to the Northern Expedition to Zhang Lu and march into Ye Meng. Zhang Song was killed because of the revelation of the matter, so Liu Bei broke with Liu Zhang and marched to Chengdu. Yizhou engaged Zheng Du to suggest to Liu Zhang that Liu Bei be dragged down with Jianbi Qingye. Liu Bei was very worried when he found out, but Fa Zheng believed that although Liu Zhang had no talent, he was still a state pastor who loved the people, so it was impossible to adopt this strategy that would harm the interests of the people. Sure enough, Liu Zhang said: "I have heard of resisting the enemy to reassure the people, and I have not heard of moving the people to avoid the enemy." So zheng du was deposed.

In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei led an army to besiege Chengdu, Liu Zhang asked to surrender, and Yizhou was pacified. After Yizhou was pacified, Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu five hundred catties each, silver thousand catties, money fifty million, and brocade thousand horses. This shows that fa was playing an important role in helping Liu Bei in the process of capturing Yizhou.

And Fa Zheng's high glory is far more than this, in the twenty-second year of Jian'an, Fa Zheng offered Liu Bei the strategy of Hanzhong "Cao Cao surrendered Zhang Lu in one fell swoop, Ding Hanzhong, not because of this situation, but left Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Gao tun to guard, and returned to the north, this is not his wisdom and lack of strength, there will be worries and ears inside." Now Ceyuan and Gao Cailuo, the generals of the invincible country, and the people who go to court will be keke. On the day of kezhi, the guangnong accumulates valleys, observes the quarrels and serves the gaps, the upper can overthrow the enemy, honor the royal family, can encroach on the yong and the cool, and expand the territory, and the lower can stick to the key points, as a lasting strategy. This covers the heavens with me, and the time must not be lost. "HelpEd Liu Bei lead an army to conquer Hanzhong, beheaded Cao Cao's general Xiahou Yuan, and made great contributions to Liu Bei's ascension to the throne of Hanzhong."

The Hanzhong policy of Fazheng and the plan proposed by Zhuge Liang in Longzhong at that time can be said to be the same, and it is the inheritance and development of Longzhong. It is precisely because of this that there is a later three-point world theory. However, in the second year of Liu Bei's reign as King of Hanzhong, Fa Zheng died at the age of forty-five.

Fa zheng not only helped Liu Bei to seize Yizhou and annex Hanzhong, but also made great contributions to the political stability and harmony of Shu Han as a representative of the Shu Han Fufeng clique. Fufeng Group is headed by Fazheng and includes Ma Chao, Meng Da, Shejian and Shooting Aid. The political structure of the Shu Han Dynasty as Liu Bei was actually quite complicated, except for Guan Zhangzhao, who had followed Liu Bei all the way since he started his army, the Jingzhou people in Liu Bei's camp occupied most of them, of course, led by Zhuge Liang. After Liu Bei got Yizhou, the original Yizhou forces also joined in, so how to appease and balance the forces of all parties has become an important issue facing Liu Bei. After Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang occupied Yizhou, the first thing they did was to improve the loose legal system of the original Liu Zhang's period, which would inevitably touch the interests of the original scholars in Yizhou, and it was Fazheng who spoke up for them, and it was Fazheng who kept the relationship between the original Yizhou scholar groups in The fazheng ensured the stability of Liu Bei's initial political structure. In addition to maintaining the relationship between the Yizhou clan and the clan, Fa Zheng also spoke for Xu Jing, who persuaded Liu Zhang to surrender, and ordered Liu Bei to reuse Xu Jing, which shows that Fa Zheng is also great in sorting out the political relations of Liu Bei's clique. It is no wonder that when Liu Beiyiling was defeated in the Battle of Yiling and the soldiers returned to the White Emperor, Zhuge Liang lamented that "if the law is filial piety, it can control the lord and order not to go east; if you go east, you will not fall into danger." After all, Liu Bei's eastern conquest of Yiling, as a native of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang was really not good at expressing his opinions to prevent Liu Bei from recovering the land of Jingzhou, and after Liu Bei became emperor, the rapid fall of countless famous generals and strategists of shu Han must have made Zhuge Liang miss Fazheng extraordinarily.

When Fa Zheng died, Liu Bei wept bitterly for him for several days, which showed that Liu Bei was saddened by the loss of such a wise and good minister, and Fa Zheng's pursuit of Yi Hou must have also implied that Fa Zheng's departure was tantamount to Shu Han breaking his wings, and if he wanted to fly high in the future, I am afraid it would be even more difficult.
