Just as the people in the city rushed to the Jin River and looked at the wonder of water and fire in horror, Fei Guan, Yizhou Zhizhong, also sat in a carriage, staring at the spectacular view of the Fire Burning River from afar.

He was not as frightened as ordinary people. He knew that the Jingzhou army had tincture oil in its hands and could burn on the water, but today he still felt extremely shocked.

He looked up at the sky. It was originally a clear night with a bright moon and starry sky. The rolling black smoke covered everything. The air was filled with a suffocating pungent breath. He sighed softly and said to the coachman: "Go home."

The carriage started and drove towards Fei's mansion in the south city. There was a spectacular mansion in Chengdu, one of which was the Zhoumu Mansion in the middle of the city, covering an area of ​​five acres, like a royal palace.

The other is the Zhang Mansion in the north of the city. It turned out that Zhang Song's mansion was not occupied, covering an area of ​​10 to 20 acres. After Zhang Song was killed, the mansion was not confiscated, and the Zhang clan members still lived, and Zhang Ren's mansion was close together.

The next is the Fei Mansion in the south of the city, which covers an acre of land and is the residence of the Fei family. People from the Fei family live in Yukou, such as Fei Guan, Fei Shi, Fei Yi, etc., who are all famous figures in Bashu, so there is also the saying of Liu Hou in Fei Nan, Zhang Beizhong in Chengdu.

Fei Guan's carriage slowly stopped in front of the steps, and his nephew Fei Yi quickly came up. Fei Yi was in his early twenties and was known as the two heroes of Bashu together with Dong Hezhi and Dong Yun. He was tall, fair-skinned and gentle. He was the best in the reserve of the Fei family and was highly expected by the Fei family.

"Second Uncle" Fei Yi stepped forward and bowed.

"Is there anything wrong?" Fei Guan asked gently. He knew that his nephew Xi Shi Ru Jin would not stand at the door of the mansion without any trouble.

Fei Yi took a step forward and whispered a few words in his uncle's ear. Fei Guan was stunned. Why did he come? Fei Guan nodded, "I understand, you go and do it."

Fei Yi hesitated and said, "I want to grind ink for my second uncle."

Fei Guan understood what his nephew meant and he also wanted to participate in the meeting. It would be fine. He studied all day and became a nerd. Dong Yun was only two years older than him. He became Liu Jing's record room and joined the army. Recently, he was promoted to Xiangyang County Magistrate.

Like Liu Min, Pang Shanmin, Zhou Buyi, Jiang Wan and others, they were all young talents. Even Liu Jing, the governor of Jingzhou, was only over 20 years old, and became a prince who could compete with Cao Cao.

In the turbulent times in Yizhou, it was time for nephew to take action. Fei Guan nodded, so let's go together

In the living room of Fei's mansion, Fa Zheng walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his hands. Since Liu Zhang's death, he was neglected by Liu Xun and sent him to Changge to take charge of books. This was not because of his identity as a scholar in Dongzhou. Liu Xun was more tolerant of scholars in Dongzhou because his father-in-law Pang Xi was the leader of a scholar in Dongzhou.

It is because Fa Zheng was close to Zhang Song in the past. It can be said that he was the confidant promoted by Zhang Song. Liu Zhang didn't care about this relationship, but Liu Xun was a taboo.

Now that the Jingzhou army has fully attacked Bashu, and the troops are at the city, Fa Zheng is a little anxious. He wants to do something for Liu Jing to be beneficial to his future status. After thinking about it, he decided to start with the Bashu family.

There are two major families in Chengdu, the Fei family and the Zhang family, which are important to the political situation. The Zhang family is currently the leader of Zhang Ren, and Fa Zheng was not sure, so he transferred to the Fei family. The reason is very simple, because the Fei family is also from Anlu County, Jingzhou and has a deep connection with the Dongzhou scholars.

At this time, Fei Guan's smile came from outside the hall, "Let Konaga wait for a long time."

Fa Zheng turned around and saw Fei Guan quickly walking into the hall, following his nephew Fei Yi. Fei Yi just received him. After chatting for a while, he felt that Fei Yi had a good vision. Although he was a scholar, it was impressive.

Fa Zheng hurriedly bowed and said, "I've been disturbed by the treatment."

In the Yizhou officialdom, although Wu Yi was a military general, he served as a military advisor. After Zhang Song's death, Wu Yi was the number one figure in Yizhou and a military official.

Originally, Huang Quan was the second official position in the new position. Because Huang Quan supported Liu Wei, he had lost his troops. Now Fei Guan has become the second official position in the ruling period, one more than Dong He, the governor of Shu County. Therefore, it is reasonable that Fa Zheng respected him.

Fei Guan smiled slightly and waved his hand and said, "Please sit Xiaozhi"

The two of them took a seat with the guest and the host. Fei Guan gave Fei Yi a wink and asked him to sit down. Fei Yi sat in the last place. Fei Guan did not talk about official affairs for the first time, but Fa Zheng smiled and said, "I have heard for a long time that Xiaozhi has a talent for understanding people, but I don't know how to recognize people."

Fa Zheng gently stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Just knowing people is like treating people. First look at the qi surface, that is, the qi is correct, the temperament must be upright, the person is upright, the world is righteous, the appearance must be clear, and the viewpoints are clear. This does not refer to the natural skin, but to the qi of reading and cultivation.

If you have a good expression of energy, look at your conversation, whether you have a beautiful heart, whether you have a long-term vision, whether you have a clear mind, and whether you have a thorough vision. You can see a person’s future in one expression."

“Good said”

Fei Guan praised, and he pointed at Fei Yi again, "Please see how my nephew is."

Fa Zheng smiled slightly, "I have asked my nephew to talk a few words just now. From the four words "He said that the new Han Dynasty is about to rise", I know that the nephew is not a minor matter. His future achievements are above you and me. I might as well make bold predictions that nephew must be the prime minister."

Fei Yi quickly stood up and thanked, "I dare not praise you for this."

Fei Guan is also a sensitive person. When he heard the words "New Han" from Fa Zheng's mouth, he jumped in his heart and thought to himself: What does this person mean by saying this?

He asked without hesitation: "Xiaozhi went to Jingzhou for the time being, how do you think Liu Jing is like this?"

In fact, Fa Zheng was ordered to go to Jingzhou only once, and the other two were not to go to Jingzhou, once, Cao Cao, and once, Liu Bei, but Fa Zheng took a detour to Liu Jing. This matter almost became an open secret in the Yizhou officialdom, but there was no evidence that Fa Zheng had an affair with Liu Jing.

As things have come to this point, Fei Guan no longer hides his words and says frankly. Fa Zheng's face heats up and he hurriedly said: "The Liu Jing in Fa Zheng's eyes may not be Liu Jing in Fei Gong's eyes. He can only be a one-man word and dare not mislead Fei Gong."

“But it’s okay”

Fa Zheng sorted out his thoughts. Seeing Fei Yi's eagerness, he nodded to him and sighed slightly, "The Han Dynasty is in decline, the traitors are in power, the throne is not strong, Dong Zhuo, Li Kui, Cao Cao and other traitors are rampant in the court and the country. Unfortunately, Liu Biao in Jingzhou has no ambitions, and Liu Zhang is a mediocre person. Liu Bei is lonely and weak, and is not enough to carry the banner of the Han Dynasty's revival. Looking around the world, no one in the Liu family is outstanding. I think the Han Dynasty will perish.

But since Liu Jing rose in Jiangxia in the ninth year of Jian'an, the ten-year Battle of Red Cliff shocked the world. We all have the loyal ministers of the Han family again saw the dawn of Zhongxing. The revival of the Han Dynasty is expected, which is very sad. I dare to assert that those who revived the Han Dynasty must be Liu Jing, the Marquis of Chu."

Fa Zheng was very good at speaking. He first set Liu Jing above the Han Dynasty's righteousness. He did not talk about the fact that Liu Jing would seize Yizhou, nor did he talk about what Yizhou would be like in the future, but instead turned his attention to the world. This was motivated and invisibly implied that Fei Guan was implicitly that if he surrendered to Liu Jing, the benefits of the Fei family would no longer be Yizhou, but the world. This is the foreshadowing of his previous saying that Fei Yi was the prime minister's talent.

Although Fa Zheng is a speaking skill, what he said is true and not exaggerated. Many famous scholars in the world who are loyal to the Han Dynasty placed their hopes on Liu Jing. Fei Guan also knew that he was a little worried about the interests of the family and bowed his head and said nothing.

"Do you think I'm an exaggerated statement?" Fa Zheng stared at Fei Guan with bright eyes.

Fei Guan shook his head and sighed, "I am not hiding filial piety and righteousness. I am worried about Liu Jing's family's strategy. The four major families in Jingzhou, Cai, Kuai, Huang, and Pang, have weakened in just a few years. If he enters Yizhou, how can I not worry about the fate of our Fei family?"

Fa Zheng laughed, "Last year I went to Jingzhou to discuss this matter with Liu Jing, and I had a lot of insights on what Liu Jing said."

"What did he say?" Fei Guan sat upright and asked with concern.

It is related to the future of the family. How could he not care about this? He was very nervous and hoped to get the answer from Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Liu Jing told me that the beginning of Jingzhou's reduction of vassals did not start from him. His uncle Liu Biao's era began. The supply of money and grain from the Jingzhou army relied on aristocratic families. The annual tax revenue of the government was not as good as the income of the aristocratic families. The self-cultivated farmers almost disappeared. Liu Biao tried every means to reduce the vassals, demoted Zhang Yun, and attacked the Cai family, but did not dare to touch the foundation of the aristocratic family. In the last few years, he became in chaos.

In fact, the decline of the Jingzhou family was caused by the invasion of foreign enemies. Jiangdong invaded Jiangxia, slaughtered the Huangzu family, and Cao's army went south to Jingzhou, Cai, Kuai, and Pang family lands were completely destroyed. This is the root cause of the decline of the Jingzhou family."

Fei Guan nodded and asked his nephew Fei Yi: "You have a letter exchange with Dong Yun. Have you talked about this?"

Fei Yi hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Fa's words are true, but Mr. Fa's wishes are still not complete, and it seems that he is only half of it."

Fa Zheng laughed, "The nephew is really smart and agile, and he knows my heart."

Fei Guan bowed and said, "Please continue talking."

Fa Zheng smiled and continued: "Liu Jing is very clear about the aristocratic family. He does not allow the aristocratic family to grow up, but also depends on the aristocratic family's support. The key is one. He visited the Cai family and the Cai family handed over half of the land, so Cai Yan became the governor of Xiangyang.

The same is true for the Kuai family. The property and houses did not move at all, and half of the land was handed over. Kuai Qi served as the Anlu Shou. As for the Pang family, there was not much land itself and there was no loss.

From this we can see that Liu Jing’s attitude towards the aristocratic family is to protect property and restrict land. The Fei family is not Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, He Jin, and the Nine Changshi who shake the country’s foundation, why worry about it?

Fei Guan nodded silently, he was finally moved by Fa Zheng's words

Fa Zheng left, Fei Guan returned to his study, and his nephew Fei Yi also walked in. Fei Guan looked at him and said, "I can see that you are very eager. Do you want to encourage me to surrender to Liu Jing?"

Fei Yi was so scared that he knelt down and said, "My nephew doesn't dare, but my nephew thinks Fa Zheng is right."

"He's right, get up and talk back."

"yes"

Fei Yi stood up and said, "My nephew is thinking, since Liu Jing is determined to be the world, he certainly hopes to get the support of the gentry. Most of the gentry are aristocratic families. At least before he wins the world, he will never damage his foundation. Moreover, there are much more self-cultivated farmers in Bashu than Jingzhou. There are no situations where the four major families control Jingzhou, so Liu Jing will not infringe on the interests of the Fei family."

Fei Guan nodded. Liu Jing took Liu Zhang's foundation and obtained Liu Zhang's land and land. In comparison, the Fei family and the Zhang family are really insignificant.

Fei Guan walked a few steps behind his hands, and Liu Jing set fire to the river as a warning. He wanted to collect Chengdu peacefully, but he also hoped that he would do so.
