Chapter 202 I have collected all the traitors, but I can’t do justice to evil!
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Rubing finally decided not to take Lu Bu in.
Although he was very envious of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, Gu Rubing was reminded by Liu Bei's words to Cao Cao on the White Gate Tower, "I don't want to see what happened to Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo."
Lü Bu is ambitious and will never be inferior to others. Lü Bu leads his people to surrender. If Lü Bu is taken in but not given territory, Lü Bu will definitely be dissatisfied. If Lü Bu is given territory, it will be a disaster.
After hearing that Gu Rubing had made his decision, all the civil servants and generals stopped arguing. After all, it was Gu Rubing himself who made the final decision on this matter as the Lord of Qingzhou.
"correct."
At this moment, Guan Ning suddenly thought of something, raised his hands and said: "My lord, speaking of talents, I have recently met a person. Although he is young, he has great talents and is a hundred times better than me. I am willing to recommend him to your lord." Of."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Gu Rubing's eyes lit up and he asked extremely curiously: "I wonder who it is that You'an has such a high evaluation?"
Others also cast curious glances at Guan Ning, their eyes full of inquiry.
During this year in Qingzhou, Guan Ning assisted Gu Rubing in governing Qingzhou, and managed Qingzhou in an orderly manner, with no mistakes in everything. Guan Ning's talents have been recognized by all civil servants and generals.
So when Guan Ning said from his own words that someone could be a hundred times better than him, everyone was extremely curious.
"My lord, this person is originally from Fufeng. Now that the world is in war, he learned that Jixia Academy has been rebuilt, so he and his friends came to Qingzhou to take refuge and pay homage to Jixia Academy."
Guan Ning immediately said: "I had a relationship with this person's grandfather, so we got to know each other."
"Fufeng County?"
Gu Rubing frowned slightly, not expecting the answer, and asked, "I wonder who this person's name is?"
Guan Ning did not show off, and immediately introduced to Gu Rubing: "This person's surname is Fa, his first name is Zheng, and his courtesy name is Xiaozhi. He is the grandson of the famous scholar Fazhen. Although Fazheng is young, less than twenty, his intelligence and vision are outstanding. Extraordinary, he can be called a hero of all time!"
"Fa Zheng?"
Hearing Guan Ning's words, Gu Rubing's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his voice couldn't help but raise a level.
"Master, does he know that Fa Zheng is right?"
Seeing Gu Rubing's reaction, Guan Ning was a little confused, nodded and said, "It's Fa Zheng."
After receiving Guan Ning's affirmative reply, Gu Rubing felt extremely excited!
He originally thought that those recommended by Guan Ning should be internal affairs talents like him, or some talented writers, but he never expected that the person recommended by Guan Ning would be Fa Zheng!
How could he not know about the Fa's rectification?
That’s so familiar!
After all, that was the kind of justice that made Cao Cao, who had countless advisers under his command in history, couldn't help but say, "I have recruited all the traitors, but I can't rectify the law and rectify the evil?"
As the saying goes, the enemy's affirmation is the greatest affirmation!
Even Cao Cao was so sure of Fa Zheng's ability, which is enough to show how good Fa Zheng is!
In history, Fazheng was originally under Liu Zhang, but he was not reused and his talents were not recognized because Zhang Song persuaded Liu Zhang to break off diplomatic relations with Cao Cao and befriend Liu Bei. On Zhang Song's recommendation, Fazheng was sent as an envoy to Liu Bei.
Fazheng and Liu Bei hit it off immediately, so he joined Liu Bei's army and invited Liu Bei to enter Shu. From then on, he became one of Liu Bei's most valued advisers and helped Liu Bei conquer Yizhou.
Fa Zheng was good at making ingenious plans, had superior intelligence and strategy, and was able to win decisively thousands of miles away. He first persuaded Liu Bei to go to Hanzhong and clarify his interests. From then on, Liu Bei led his generals to attack Hanzhong, and the famous Battle of Hanzhong broke out between him and Cao Cao.
And during the Battle of Hanzhong, it was Fazheng who provided advice to help Huang Zhong's formation kill Xia Houyuan and capture Hanzhong!
After Liu Bei ascended the throne of Hanzhong, Fa Zheng was granted the title of Shangshu Ling and Army Protector General. Unfortunately, Fa Zheng died young in the second year after Liu Bei ascended the throne of Hanzhong.
Later, Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng, Liu Bei raised an army to attack Wu, and the ministers came to remonstrate, but Liu Bei did not listen.
As a result, in the final battle of Yiling, the Shu army was burned by Lu Xun for 700 miles. Liu Bei returned with a great defeat and was left alone in Baidi City.
Zhuge Liang later lamented that if his filial piety was still there, he would have been able to stop the Lord from going to the Eastern Expedition. Even if he could not stop it, if he had accompanied him on the Eastern Expedition, he would not have returned with a great defeat!
In Zhuge Liang's view, Fa Zheng was a great talent who had the ability to reverse the outcome of the conquest of Wu!
Just this sentence from Zhuge Liang is enough to prove the gold content of Fa Zheng!
It can be said that Fazheng is definitely one of the top counselors who can be ranked at the forefront during the entire Three Kingdoms period!
According to the original plot, Fazheng should have taken refuge in Yizhou, but what Gu Rubing didn't expect was that Fazheng had actually come to Qingzhou now!
Gu Rubing suppressed the excitement in his heart and said eagerly: "I don't know about Fazheng, but since You'an has such a high evaluation, there must be a great talent. I wonder where Fazheng is now? "
"Near Jixia Academy, I live with my friend Meng Da, who is from the same hometown."
Guan Ning immediately said: "This Meng Da is courageous and knowledgeable, and is both civil and military. He is also a rare general."
Good guy, Meng Da is here too?
Gu Rubing's expression suddenly became a little weird.
Gu Rubing was not surprised that Meng Da and Fazheng came to Qingzhou together. After all, these two people were friends from the same county in history, and they later went to Yizhou together to defect to Liu Zhang.
Compared with Fazheng, Meng Da's reputation is much worse. Because Meng Da failed to rescue Guan Yu, he was afraid of being punished, and he was at odds with Liu Feng, so he eventually turned his back on Shu and defected to Wei.
Fazheng was very loyal to Liu Bei, and even shot arrows for Liu Bei, and the two made a stand.
However, although Meng Da defected to Cao Wei, he was indecisive between Wei and Shu. Later, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Meng Da prepared to submit to Shu, but was killed by Sima Yi with his troops.
But in general, Meng Da should still be capable, and he can be regarded as a general. He can definitely be used. After all, Meng Da only wants to survive, which is completely different from Lu Bu.
"Okay, in that case, You'an, I'll ask you to take me to meet Fazheng and Mengda later."
Gu Rubing's eyes flickered and he spoke.
Guan Ning was a little surprised to hear that Gu Rubing actually wanted to go see Fa Zheng in person, but in the end he didn't say anything. He immediately nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Soon, Gu Rubing arranged for an envoy to see Lü Bu, preparing to send some food, grass and baggage to Lü Bu, and at the same time ask Lü Bu to switch to another place.
After the arrangements were made, Gu Rubing couldn't wait to leave the house, taking only a few personal guards with him, and under the leadership of Guan Ning, rushed to the residence of Fa Zheng and Meng Da.
Soon, Gu Rubing, led by Guan Ning, arrived at the residence of Fazheng and Meng Da, and then knocked on the door.
Soon after, a young man opened the door.
The young man is about eighteen or nineteen years old. He has a thin body, slender eyes, and a crown on his head. Although he is young, he gives people an extremely calm feeling.
After seeing Guan Ning, Fazheng's eyes lit up. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Gu Rubing. He couldn't help but was startled. After he realized what he was doing, he raised his hands in flattery and said, "I've met Mr. Liu."
"oh?"
Seeing that Fazheng recognized him at a glance, Gu Rubing was a little surprised and asked, "Have you seen me before?"
"I've never seen the envoy before."
Fazheng shook his head and said immediately: "But Shi Jun has an extraordinary temperament, and it was brought by Guan Chang Shi. I think there is no one else but Shi Jun."
"Hahaha, Xiao Nao, you still know how to speak."
At this time, Guan Ning laughed and said, "Aren't you going to invite us into the house?"
"I didn't know that your envoy would come here in such a big way. I was unprepared and the cabin is simple. I'm afraid I didn't entertain you well. I hope you can forgive me."
After hearing Guan Ning's words, Fazheng immediately said to Gu Rubing: "Please!"
"Then I'm sorry to bother you."
A smile also appeared on Gu Rubing's face. Seeing Fazheng's attitude, he felt that accepting Fazheng should be a sure thing.
But think about it, Fazheng is not a hermit, and he was willing to serve as county magistrate even if Liu Zhang arranged for him to do so. It can be seen that Fazheng not only has the intention to become an official, but even has a very strong intention to become an official.
Otherwise, in history, Fazheng would not have felt that he was neglected by Liu Zhang, so he finally took refuge in Liu Bei and went to invite Liu Bei to Shu.
Speaking of which, there is no need to come in person to conquer Fa Zheng. He only needs to send someone to invite Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng will never refuse and will come to the house in person.
That is to say, Gu Rubing knew Fa Zheng's talents and attached great importance to Fa Zheng, so he was willing to treat the virtuous corporal and invite him in person.
Soon, Gu Rubing followed Fazheng and walked into Fazheng's residence.
In Fazheng's residence, there is also a strong young man, who is holding a scroll of bamboo slips and concentrating on reading.
Meng Da couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Fazheng coming in with Guan Ning and Gu Rubing.
In an instant, Meng Da also realized Gu Rubing's identity, immediately put down the bamboo slips, stood up, cupped his hands to Guan Ning and Gu Rubing, and said, "I have met Liu Shijun, and I have met Guan Changshi!"
"No need to be polite."
Gu Rubing looked at Meng Da and said with a smile: "You are the son of Meng Ta, the former governor of Liangzhou?"
Meng Da's father, Meng Ta, once served as the governor of Liangzhou. Of course, this governor's position was not obtained by relying on political performance, but by bribing Zhang Rang.
Thinking back to Meng Da's deeds, Gu Rubing can only say...a tiger father has no dog son.
"Exactly."
Meng Da nodded, immediately held up his hands and said: "I have heard about the envoy's name for a long time, but I didn't know that Liu Envoy was coming, and I was disappointed to welcome you from afar. I hope you won't blame me."
"Bei also takes the liberty of interrupting."
Gu Rubing shook his head and said.
Soon, the four of them sat on the ground. Gu Rubing was not polite. After chatting for a while, he directly explained the purpose of his visit: "To be honest, the world is in chaos, heroes are constantly fighting, and the people are in dire straits."
"Bei does not know what he is capable of. He wants to bring justice to the world and bring peace to the people, but he just hates that his power is not enough. You'an told me that both of you have great responsibilities and talents. Bei has come here to ask you to help us." Fuhan Room!”
