His Pang Shiyuan and Zhang Fei can evade chasing down of Guan Hai Zhou Cang and others , because this Zhang Song has rescued their life. 至于张松庞士元如何相识的?他庞士元张飞能够躲过管亥周仓等人的追杀,就是因为这个张松救了他们一命。 Has been chased down Zhang Fei and Pang Shiyuan that comes by Guan Hai and others, did not have the means of livelihood, they submerged the Zhang Song motorcade then to fortunately survive. 管亥等人一直追杀而来的张飞庞士元,本来已经没有活路了,他们是潜入了张松的车队这才幸存了下来。 This Zhang Song and Pang Shiyuan they are the fat people, is diminutive, even is much longer, where also very to goes, immediately because of friend. 张松庞士元两人都是胖子,又都矮小,甚至一个长得丑,一个也好不到哪里去,顿时就因为知己了。 In addition Pang Shiyuan and Zhang Song they discussed that is feels sorry not to have met sooner simply. 再加上庞士元张松两人洽谈了一番,简直就是相见恨晚啊。 Zhang Fei severe wound, was Zhang Song looks for the Yizhou famous doctor is the Zhang Fei treatment, even also the high price invited, studying away from home the juniors of Yangzhou medical school came. 张飞重伤,也是张松找来了益州名医为张飞医治,甚至还高价请来了,游学的扬州医学院的子弟前来。 Finally has then rescued a Zhang Fei life, again, was they discussed that at that time Zhang Song had the favorable impression to the Liu Bei heart. 最后这才救了张飞一命,再之后就是两人商议了,那个时候张松就对刘备心中有了好感了。 Was pressing the Zhang Song mental disposition, will not take risk easily, but before Pang Shiyuan and her, all that discussed that pressed the time to occur, even was also ahead of time.

Enterprising Yizhou. 本来按着张松的秉性,是不会轻易冒险的,可是庞士元和她之前商议的一切,都是按着时间发生了,甚至还提前了。他庞士元得到了伊籍的举荐之后。,得到了黄射重任,黄射带着数十万大军前行。进取益州 All these carry on are smooth, even must be ahead of time much compared with before. 这一切都进行得很是顺利,甚至比之前还要提前了不少。 All that Pang Shiyuan makes.

Goes to the military compound?” The Fa Zheng cart driver was asking Fa Zheng. But on Fa Zheng control of discussing official business Colonel, normal, he will go to the military compound, Fa Zheng this person, although cannot obtain the Liu Zhang volume to entrust with heavy responsibility. However he did not complain that is continuously steadfast working. “老爷,我们去哪?去军营吗?”法正的车夫问着法正法正身上可是有一个议事校尉的管制的,正常来说,他都是会去军营,法正此人虽然得不到刘璋额重用。但是他却不埋怨,还是一直踏踏实实的做事。 Every day he will go to military compound. 每日他都是会去军营的。 However today our Mr. Fa Zheng did not have this idea very much obviously, Fa Zheng is cold facial featuresto go back! „ 但是今天很明显我们的法正先生没有了这个想法,法正冷着面容”回去!“ Goes back? „ Cart driver cold, understood randomly, this is must return to the rhythm of mansion. ”回去?“车夫冷了一下,随机明白了过来,这是要回府邸的节奏。 Although the cart drivers have doubts, but Fa Zheng returned to own mansion. 车夫虽然疑惑,但是还是吧法正送回了自己的府邸之中。 After Fa Zheng returned to own mansion, has closed the study room door, ordered, can not have anybody to enter the study room without his permission. 法正回到了自己的府邸之后,就把书房门关上了,并且,下令,没有他的允许不得有任何人进入书房。 Was observing for a long time. Nobody will paste after own study room mouth, Fa Zheng from own bookshelf, took out a bag. Has put out several white papers from inside, in addition seal. 在观察了许久。没有人会贴在自己书房口之后,法正从自己的书架后面,取出了一个袋子。从里面拿出了几张白纸,外加一个印鉴 Waited the long person to know in Yangzhou, such paper, will only appear in the Yangzhou government authorities, only then in some Six Boards, got down short note, will use such own paper, in other words, these paper, only then Yangzhou will have. 扬州之中待得久的人就知道了,这样的纸张,只会出现在扬州的官府之中,只有一些个六部里面,下条子,才会用到这样的亲纸,换句话说,这些个纸张只有扬州会有。 However appeared above the Fa Zheng desk. 但是却出现在了法正的书桌之上。 Fa Zheng fast attrition ink. Above the good xuan paper that in that Yangzhou produces wrote getting upYour Highness Saint Prince to open clear, Fa Zheng word! „ Below full paper at the same time all gives him to record the words that this edition of that Zhang Song and said a word. Finally after voluminous finishing. Took out side seal from that bag. 法正快速的研磨起了墨水。在那扬州产的上好的宣纸之上书写了起来”圣王殿下清启,法正言!“下面满满一面的纸张全都是把此版那张松和自己言语的话都给他记载了下来。最后洋洋洒洒的写完之后。从那个袋子之中取出了一方印鉴 Directly the great seal to seal above that xuan paper, handwriting that between the above brand mark leftChancellor Board of War. Fa Zheng! „ 直接把大印给印在了那宣纸之上,之间上面的烙印出的字迹”兵部主事。法正!“ Already before Zhang Song napped Fa Zheng, our Fa Zheng baby shoes have joined Yangzhou Army. 早就在张松拉绒法正之前,我们的法正童鞋就已经加入扬州军了。 At that time Liu Mang just ran away from Jingzhou, returned to Yangzhou, has not taken including Jiangdong, then made Yang Hong send for going to relate Fa Zheng. 那个时候刘莽刚刚从荆州逃回来,回到扬州,连江东都没有拿下呢,便让杨弘派人前去联系法正了。 Although Liu Mang the history is the math teacher teaches, but at least a little, that is Jingzhou some celebrities he knows that for example Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, was Fa Zheng and Zhang Song. 刘莽虽然历史是数学老师教的,但是起码有一点,那就是荆州的一些个名人他还是知道的,比如说张任,严颜,还有就是法正张松了。 Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, Liu Mang also wants to take the relation, but made a sound gave up for a long time, because these military commanders were easier to work oneself to death for the lord, the military commander who these back hosts abandoned the righteousness was unusual. 张任严颜,刘莽也想要取联系的,但是响了许久还是放弃了,因为这些个武将更容易为主子卖命,那些个背主弃义的武将少有。 Makes them surrender truly, that really did not have the means that they also showed extreme tolerance, this will surrender, otherwise was the lead(er) refuses stubbornly, since, therefore as the saying goes, the loyalty always slaughter dog generation, heartless is actually a scholar. 真正的让他们降服,那也是实在没办法了,他们也仁至义尽了,这才会降服的,不然就是领死不从,所以常言道,忠义总是屠狗辈,无情却是读书人啊。 Storyteller rational serious offense in perception, what they think is the benefit is in the majority. 说书人理性大过于感性,他们想到的是利益居多。 These military commander easier brain heat. 这些个武将更容易脑子一热。 Liu Mang knows before Liu Zhang hires oneself, before or Liu Zhan dies, this Yan Yan Zhang Ren and others impossible to trade gate inevitably. 刘莽知道在刘璋投靠之前,或者刘占死之前,这严颜张任等人必然不可能该换门挺的。 Therefore Liu Mang also uselessly makes Yang Hong send the messenger to contact with them. Crawls to nap inadequately, instead alerts the enemy. 所以刘莽也没用让杨弘派出去使者联系他们。就爬拉绒不成,反而打草惊蛇。 But Fa Zheng is different. 法正却是不一样。 This person has unrecognized talent, Liu Mang is knows, Liu Mang went to nap at that time, our Fa Zheng baby shoes are small County Magistrate. 此人怀才不遇,刘莽是知道的,当时刘莽前去拉绒的时候,我们的法正童鞋还是一个小小的县令呢。 Yangzhou sends out the messenger, is haughty at first but respectful later, gave back to Fa Zheng to bring the Liu Mang's personal letter, at that time our Liu Mang baby shoe or Your Highness Saint Prince. 扬州派出使者,前倨后恭的,还给法正带来了刘莽的亲笔信,那个时候我们的刘莽童鞋还是圣王殿下呢。 The government position and title that Liu Mang gives have not moved Fa Zheng, because looks like in Fa Zheng, something can actually unable to want with something, high office and high pay, his Fa Zheng also, but cannot carry the Lord to abandon the righteousness absolutely. This is matter of principle. 刘莽给出的官职和爵位没有打动法正,因为在法正看来,有些东西可以拿有些东西却不能要,高官厚禄,他法正也向,但是绝对不能背主弃义。这是原则问题。 Truly those who move Fa Zheng is Liu Mang gives Fa Zheng that correspondence. 真正打动法正的是刘莽法正的那一封书信。 Inside voluminous that all was to the approval of Fa Zheng the approval, even Fa Zheng a little were ashamed. 里面洋洋洒洒的那全都是对法正的认可了赞同啊,甚至法正自己都有点惭愧了。 If this is others writes, then Fa Zheng naturally can not spare a glance, because that is flattering, when this person resulted in the status is Great Han Saint Prince then Lord of Yangzhou, that was different. 如果这是别人写得,那么法正自然会不屑一顾,因为那就是一种阿谀奉承,可是当这个人得身份是大汉圣王当时的扬州之主的时候,那就不一样了。 Others are Han Dynasty clan, is what Great Han Saint Prince attempts your? Your Fa Zheng at that time was small County Magistrate. The petty official same size, in Yizhou has 100 forty counties. 人家是汉室宗亲,是大汉圣王图你啥呢?你法正那个时候不过就是一个小小的县令。芝麻官一样的大小,益州之中可是有100四十几个县城呢。 Dorny are not many, is short of your many. 多尼一个不多,少你一个不少。 But is at that time. His Your Highness Saint Prince came correspondence, to the approval of Fa Zheng. 可就是在那个时候。他圣王殿下来了一封书信,对法正的认同。 To then Fa Zheng that was the how exciting time. 对当时的法正来说那是多么激动人心的时期。 When he this County Magistrate had dozens years. Wanted dejected, came such a saying, you said that he was excited? 他当这个县令可是有数十年了。就要心灰意冷了,来了这么一说,你说他激动吗? Fa Zheng cultivating vital energy time is good, must pack the baggage to go to Yangzhou directly. 要不是法正养气功夫好,就要直接收拾行李去扬州了。 Yangzhou has not attacked Yizhou, therefore his Fa Zheng leaves Yizhou to be most is changes job, but cannot be the betrayal. 扬州没有攻打益州,所以他法正离开益州最多算是跳槽,而不能算是背叛。 Fa Zheng keeps Yangzhou is the idea of Zhuge Liang, no matter said that Yizhou they also need. In Yizhou multi- mountain ranges. If no a familiar terrain, then may be really awful, these cordillera high mountains, can you circle cry. 法正留在扬州诸葛亮的主意,不管这么说,益州他们也都必须要的。益州之中多山脉。如果没有一个熟悉地形的,那么可真的就糟糕了,那些个丛山峻岭,能够吧你绕哭了。 These sheer precipices, your is not careful can fall into the abyss, but the skeleton not saves. 还有那些个悬崖峭壁,你一个不小心就能够落入万丈深渊之中而尸骨无存啊。 Therefore existence of Fa Zheng was important. 所以法正的存在就至关重要了。 Fa Zheng these years also reorganized many Yizhou materials, these material Fa Zheng have not passed to Yangzhou, because in the Fa Zheng heart always has such lump, if Yangzhou has overcome Yizhou, her Fa Zheng is revolting. 法正这些年也是整理了许多益州的资料,这些个资料法正也没有传给扬州,因为法正心中总是有那么一个疙瘩,要是扬州打下了益州的话,那她法正到底算不算叛变呢。 Because of this lump, Fa Zheng has not contacted with Yangzhou for a long time. 正是因为这个疙瘩,法正已经许久没有和扬州联系了。 This Fa Zheng took out initially King of Han Liu Mang to leave his seal again. These put on letter specially the paper. 这次法正再一次的取出了当初汉王刘莽留给他的印鉴。还有那些个专门穿信的纸张。 These paper may really be the Yangzhou transmission news paper. 这些个纸张可真的就是扬州传送消息的纸张。 The plan of Zhang Song and Liu Bei, they like scheming Yizhou, his Fa Zheng pass on the information. One, is not back Lord abandons the righteousness, two come, to the back coupling of King of Han Liu Mang to own one recognition, making Yangzhou have such a preparation. 张松刘备的计划,他们是像图谋益州,他法正把这样的情报传出去。一来,不是背主弃义,二来呢,也是对汉王刘莽对自己的一种赏识的回馈,让扬州有这么一个准备。 Voluminous quick wrote, the Yang Hong messenger has also left behind the special contact way to Fa Zheng, the quick such information transmitted from Yizhou. 洋洋洒洒的很快就书写完毕了,杨弘的使者也是给法正留下了专门的联络方式,很快这样的情报就从益州传递出去了。 When are not many appeared before our King of Han Liu Mang's case several. 不多时就出现在了我们的汉王刘莽的案几之前。 This law did Xiaozhi straighten out finally?” Liu Mang looks on this Fa Zheng handwritten letter, shaking the head. “这个法孝直总算是开窍了嘛?”刘莽看着这上面法正的亲笔书信,不由的摇了摇头。 Since having gathered Fa Zheng, this Fa Zheng baby shoe was similar to died generally. The Yizhou big or medium matter, cannot obtain any news. Let Liu Mang suspect under one do have to gather this person, that Fa Zheng accepted. seal of Chancellor Board of War, Liu Mang suspected. 自从招揽了法正之后,这个法正童鞋就如同死了一般。益州大小事情,都得不到任何的消息。让刘莽都在怀疑自己到底有没有招揽下此人啊,要不是那法正收下了。兵部主事的印鉴,刘莽自己都怀疑了。 When shortly afterward, here Fa Zheng delivered the news finally. 时过不久,这边法正终于送出来消息了。 Liu Mang opened the correspondence to look, exceed looked that above this corners of the mouth the smiling face was richer. 刘莽打开了书信看了起来,越看,这个嘴角之上笑容就越是浓郁啊。 Master, what celebration but there is?” Asking of nearby Xu Shu doubts. 主公,可是有什么喜事吗?”边上的徐庶疑惑的问道。 Ha Ha, Yuanzhi, our Liu Bei Imperial Uncle Liu also really gives us the face!” Liu Mang has laughed. “哈哈,元直啊,我们的这个刘备刘皇叔还真的是给我们面子啊!”刘莽大笑了起来。 Above the correspondence Zhang Song of Fa Zheng Liu Bei Army all whereabouts that informed told our Liu Mang baby shoe. Reason that Liu Mang is small, that is because this history the inertia of hoop is really big, he has not done to understand that completely, in that side Yizhou did not have much difference the matter to perform with the original path above. 书信之上法正张松告知的刘备军的一切行踪都告诉了我们的刘莽童鞋。刘莽之所以小,那是因为这个历史的滚轮的惯性还真的是大啊,他还没有完全搞明白呢,那边益州之中就和原先的轨迹之上没有太大的区别的事情就上演了。 Liu Bei borrows Jingzhou, Liu Bei enters Sichuan! Is the scheme of Pang Shiyuan!” 刘备荆州,刘备蜀川!还有就是庞士元的图谋啊!” Xu Shu also looked, after looking, gave a calm smile Master, the Yangtze River big camp should also be the motion time!” „ The Xu Shu book is Yangzhou Grand Chamberlain, can say under one person above ten thousand people. Liu Mang all plans are impossible to hide the truth from Xu Shu. 徐庶也是看了起来,看完了之后,淡然一笑“主公,长江大营也该是行动的时候了!”“徐庶本就是扬州内相,可以说一人之下万人之上。刘莽一切的规划都是不可能瞒住徐庶的。 Now obtained that side Yizhou news, naturally must according to plan to handle affairs. 现在得到了那边益州的消息了,自然就要按着计划行事了。 Goes!” Liu Mang nodded, must make Xu Shu leave, but random has as if thought of anything, has stopped by calling that side Xu Shu. “去吧!”刘莽点了点头,就要让徐庶离开,不过随机似乎想到了什么,喊住了那边的徐庶 Such Master?” Can asking of Xu Shu doubts also something confess?” “这么了主公?”徐庶疑惑的问道“可还有事情交代?” Nothing! Yuanzhi, you help me bring a letter to go to Nanyang!” Liu Mang was saying to that side Xu Shu spoken language. “没什么!元直,你帮我带一封信去南阳!”刘莽对着那边的徐庶言语道。 Letter?” Xu Shu receives from the Liu Mang's hand, above writes my younger brother Kuai Ran to be opened only by, the inscription is elder brother Liu Mang. “信?”徐庶刘莽的手中接了过来,上面写着吾弟蒯然亲启,落款是兄长刘莽 This is one gives the Kuai Ran correspondence. 这是一封送给蒯然的书信。 I knew!” Xu Shu left in the main hall, went toward his cabinet. “我知道了!”徐庶离开了大殿之中,朝着他的内阁前去了。 Liu Mang looks at Xu Shu departure direction Kuai Ran Kuai Ran, your my brother must gather!” 刘莽看着徐庶的离开的方向“蒯然蒯然,你我兄弟就要相聚了!” In Yangzhou orders have sent, entire Yangzhou started to take action, this edition of strategy had already arranged, the shadow motion was! 扬州之中一道道的命令都发了出去,整个扬州都开始行动了起来,此版计策早就定好了,暗部行动便是!
