Fa Zheng took the initiative to offer advice to Liu Bei this time, not to attack Chengdu, and naturally it was not considered as breaking his oath. He was offering advice to subdue Ma Chao.

Fa Zheng was deeply trusted by Liu Bei and had a transcendent status. This time he suddenly offered a suggestion and it would be impossible to say that he did not have his own little thoughts!

Although Fa Zheng is extremely talented, he has been respected since childhood because he was born a famous scholar, and many people have been intimate with him.

But most people value him because he is the grandson of Fazhen, not because of his own talent, which makes Fazheng, who is arrogant and arrogant.

Even when Liu Yan and his son appointed him, they were all about his grandfather's true face. Only Zhang Song, Li Hui and others admired his talents and attracted them as confidants.

Fa Zheng came to Chengdu and was raised by Liu Zhang at first. He was idle. He had traveled in Jianning County and received warm reception from Li Hui. Several people talked about the past and the present together, which was very speculative.

Although Fa Zheng is a scholar, he has a strong atmosphere in the world, is very loyal and arouses his grudges.

Therefore, although he had complaints about Meng Da's character, because Meng Da was willing to be a younger brother and kept following him to listen to him, he also took good care of Meng Da.

Fa Zheng is a person who is grateful and always remembers Li Hui's relationship.

Li Hui was from Yuyuan County, Jianning County. He first served as the supervisor of Jianning County and represented the county magistrate to supervise the local area. He was very powerful. He intersected with Fazheng at that time.

Li Hui's uncle, Cuan Xi, was the county magistrate of Jianling County, Jianning County. He was found to have committed illegal acts, and Li Hui was also implicated and should have been removed from his official position.

Dong He, the prefect of Jianning County at that time, did not remove Li Hui from his official position considering that Cuan Xi was a powerful local surname and was too unfavorable to local stability.

Of course, as the prefect who holds the power of life and death, Dong He would not be really afraid of the Cuan family. He also valued his talents by retaining Li Hui.

However, Li Hui was damaged because of his mistakes and his prestige was not smooth in Jianning County. Dong He recommended him to serve in the prefecture, just as Liu Bei attacked Luocheng.

When Li Hui was on the road, he heard that Liu Bei had obtained Fuguan and attacked Liu Zhang from Luocheng. He believed that Liu Zhang would definitely fail, and Liu Bei would definitely succeed.

So, he turned to Luocheng directly to meet Liu Bei and prepared to join him.

Because there was no one to recommend him, Li Hui did not dare to rashly ask for Liu Bei and wandered around, hoping to find a suitable opportunity, but happened to meet Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng was very happy and was about to recommend Li Hui to Liu Bei.

Although Li Hui is extremely talented, he is only a position as supervisor. If he recommends it to Liu Bei like this, he will definitely not get an ideal position.

Fa Zheng thought hard and wanted to find a step forward for Li Hui. Back then, Peng Yi was valued by Liu Bei because of breaking Ling Bao's flooding plan.

Li Hui naturally knew the importance of this advancement level. He had already planned to go to Jiameng Pass to surrender Ma Chao.

As soon as Fa Zheng heard that this plan was feasible, he was ready to recommend Li Hui to Liu Bei and ask him to go and talk about surrendering Ma Chao.

Once successful, with this advancement level, Li Hui will immediately be reused by Liu Bei.

This is why Fa Zheng turned out to be abnormal today and offered advice.

He paved the way for recommending Li Hui without any trace. He had already thought about it carefully, but he was afraid that there would be something wrong. After careful consideration, he replied calmly:

"The lord's army is at the city, and Liu Zhang definitely has no courage to send troops to fight the lord outside the city. If he wants to defeat Liu Zhang upright, he can't find a chance. Therefore, if Liu Zhang does not surrender to the lord, he can only stick to the aid route. With the food and troops in Chengdu, it will be no problem to stick to it for a year. However, because the lord has cleaned up the surrounding counties and counties and blocked Liu Zhang's reinforcements, even if there are reinforcements, it is difficult to reach Chengdu through the lord's heavy blockade. The news of Ma Chao's attack on Jiameng Pass must have reached Liu Zhang's ears. The lord personally sent troops to fight Ma Chao. Although General Zhang showed his courage and blocked Ma Chao's attack, the threat has not been completely lifted yet.

Liu Zhang must have a trace of fantasy in his heart, hoping that Ma Chao could break through Jiameng Pass and march into Xichuan. At that time, the lord was attacked from both sides and had to divide his troops to deal with Zhang Lu's army. This was Liu Zhang's opportunity. When he led his troops to fight back, he might turn defeat into victory. Therefore, the lord sent someone to persuade the surrender. Liu Zhang was greedy for power and position and would most likely not agree. He would definitely stick to the situation. Some people even suggested that Liu Zhang join forces with Zhang Lu to fight against his lord. Therefore, if the lord wanted to force Liu Zhang to surrender, he would only be willing to open the door to surrender first, repel Ma Chao and repel Zhang Lu's army, and let Liu Zhang lose his last hope. "

After hearing what Fa Zheng said, Liu Bei said it to his point and his evaluation of him was a little higher. He looked at Zhuge Liang and decided to try Fa Zheng again. So Liu Bei said to Fa Zheng again:

"It's reasonable to speak filial piety. Do you have a plan to surrender Ma Chao?"

When Fa Zheng heard that Liu Bei had already turned his words to the point, he immediately said:

"Recruiting Ma Chao is undoubtedly a good idea, but I have never met Ma Chao before, so I am afraid it will be difficult to be competent. I recommend one person to my lord, Li Hui, a native of Jianning, to make contributions."

Liu Bei asked:

"Where is Li Hui now?"

Fa Zheng hurriedly asked someone to bring Li Hui in, and Liu Bei deliberately made things difficult for him:

"The Lord is a subordinate of Liu Zhang, why do you belong to me now?"

Li Hui replied without changing his face:

"I heard that good birds live on trees and live on trees, and wise ministers choose their masters to work. I have done my best to do things, but Liu Zhang cannot appoint people based on their talents, and knows that they will be defeated. Now the general is benevolent and merciful in Shu, and the master will be successful, so he comes to like each other."

Liu Bei was very satisfied with Li Hui's answer and asked again:

"Just now, Xiaobing said that Mr. Xiao can tell you that he will surrender Ma Chao. Is this serious?"

Li Hui replied calmly:

"I heard that Ma Chao was defeated by General Zhang Fei in Jiameng Pass in the night battle, and was killed by General Wei Yan. It is difficult to explain to Zhang Lu that Yang Song, the brother of Yang Bai, is trusted by Zhang Lu. If he wants to avenge his brother, he will definitely plot against Ma Chao in every way and make him in a dilemma. I used to be in Longxi and had a friendship with him. I am willing to say that Ma Chao is coming to surrender!"

When Zhuge Liang heard Li Hui's confidence, he knew that Ma Chao had secretly surrendered to his lord, and was afraid that someone would leak the news. He was afraid that Li Hui would come to pick up the existing credit, so he said:

"My Lord and I want to go alone to surrender to Ma Chao, and I want to hear what the Lord said."

When Li Hui dared to come to see Liu Bei, he naturally thought of the words, but he did not refuse. He talked in front of the three of them, and made a statement of emotion and emotion, which was reasonable and convincing!

Liu Bei was overjoyed and immediately decided to send Li Hui as an envoy, set off from Chengdu with great fanfare, and went to Jiameng Pass to surrender Ma Chao. In fact, this was for Liu Zhang to show it.

Secretly, Liu Bei was also afraid of being in trouble, so he sent someone to notify Ma Su and Ma Chao, asking them to cooperate with Li Hui to act in a play and lead troops to Chengdu to surrender.
