Just as the people in the city rushed to the Jin River and looked at the wonder of "water and fire blending" in horror, Fei Guan, Yizhou Zhizhong, was also sitting in a carriage, staring at the spectacular scenery 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 his 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 were three spectacular mansions in Chengdu, one of which was the Zhoumu Mansion in the middle of the city, covering an area of ​​500 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 ​​120 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 to each other.

Another is the Fei Mansion in the south of the city, covering an area of ​​100 acres and is the residence of the Fei family. More than a hundred people live in the Fei family, such as Fei Guan, Fei Shi, Fei Yi, etc., all of which are famous figures in Bashu, so there is also a saying in Chengdu that "Fei Nan, Zhang Bei Zhong, Liu Hou".

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 Yun, the son of Dong He. He is tall, fair-skinned and gentle. He is the best in the reserve of the Fei family and is 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 was as precious as gold and would not stand at the door of the mansion without any trouble.

Fei Yi stepped 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 suddenly 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 are all extremely young talents. Even Liu Jing, the governor of Jingzhou, was only over 20 years old, and was already famous all over the world and became a prince who could compete with Cao Cao.

In the turbulent times in Yizhou, my nephew should take action. Fei Guan nodded, so let's go together!

In the living room of Fei's mansion, Fa Zheng paced back and forth in the hall with his hands. Since Liu Zhang's death, he was neglected by Liu Xun and sent him to Wenchang Pavilion 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 Zhang Song's confidant. Liu Zhang didn't care much about this relationship, but Liu Xun was extremely 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 play a very important role in 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 quickly bowed and bowed, "I've been disturbed!"

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

Originally, Huang Quan was the second civil servant, but because Huang Quan supported Liu Wei, he had lost his troops. Now Fei Guan has become the second civil servant in the throne, one more than Dong He, the prefect of Shu County. Therefore, it is reasonable that Fa Zheng was extremely respectful to him.

Fei Guan smiled slightly and waved his hand and said, "Xiaozhi, please sit down!"

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 that Xiaozhi has a talent for understanding people for a long time, 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, but this does not refer to the natural skin, but to the demeanor 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."

"Well 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, "The new Han will 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!"

Fei Guan was also a person with extremely sensitive thinking. When he heard the four words "New Han will rise" from Fa Zheng's mouth, he jumped in his heart and thought to himself: "What does this person mean when he says this?"

He asked without saying a word: "Xiaozhi went to Jingzhou three times to do his mission to him. What do you think of Liu Jing?"

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 Battle of Red Cliff in the thirteenth year 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 say that Liu Jing would seize Yizhou, nor did he say what Yizhou would be in the future? Instead, he turned his attention to the world, which was extremely motivated and invisibly implied that Fei Guan was saying that if Liu Jing surrendered, 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 already weakened in just a few years. If he enters Yizhou, what will happen to our Fei family? How can I not worry?"

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 vassalization was not from him. His uncle Liu Biao's time began. The supply of money and grain from the Jingzhou army relied on aristocratic families. The annual tax revenue of the government was less than 30% of the aristocratic family income. The self-cultivated farmers almost disappeared. Liu Biao tried every means to reduce the vassalization, demoted Zhang Yun, and attack 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's 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 still has not finished his wishes and seems to have only said half of them."

Fa Zheng laughed, "My 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's attitude towards the aristocratic family is very clear. He does not allow the aristocratic family to grow up, but also depends on the support of the aristocratic family. The key is in one degree. He visited the Cai family three times, and the Cai family handed over half of the land, so Cai Yan became the prefect 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 became the prefect of Anlu. As for the Pang family, there was not much land 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 are shaking the foundation of the country, why worry about those who shake the country’s foundation?”

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 was 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 so much?
