Lantian didn't speak for a while after listening to Fei Shi's words. In his memory, Zhang Fei should have returned to Yizhou from Wudu. Why did Zhang Fei and Ma Chao seem to disappear after the Battle of Hanzhong started? Could it be because of the butterfly effect?

thing?

Lan Tian immediately gave up this idea. The butterfly effect can change small events, but it cannot influence the advancement of historical trends.

Zhang Fei is a key presence in the Three Kingdoms. The butterfly effect will not cause him to die inexplicably. Moreover, there is another important figure Ma Chao traveling with him. If Zhang Fei dies, Liu Bei may launch a "national army" to retaliate against Cao Cao, and the pattern of the world will be changed.

It's going to get weirder.

Could it be that Zhang Fei has some ideas that are beyond ordinary people? He has only attended a few classes at the Martial Arts Hall, and it is difficult to make up for his many shortcomings.

Lan Tian was thinking to himself and didn't notice the eyes of the people next to him at all.

"Ziyu? What are you thinking about?" Xu Shu asked curiously when he didn't answer.

Lantian came back to his senses and said with confidence: "Gongju (Fei Shi) will go back and tell the lord that Yide will be able to turn disaster into good fortune. As for Song Chen, he can definitely follow you to Shu."

"That's great. I wonder where Captain Song is now? I need to return to Yangping Pass immediately. The Lord is still waiting there." Fei Shi asked.

"Song Chen can enter Shu at any time, but you have to wait a moment for the public examination." After answering, Lan Tian looked at Xu Shu and motioned for him to show him the things.

Xu Shu understood and took out the silk from his arms and handed it over. Dozens of words were densely written on the silk in official script. Lantian picked up the silk and recited the contents in his heart silently. It was the edict from the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, to Liu Bei for the title of king.

, there is also the emperor's seal in the lower left corner.

Lan Tian nodded with satisfaction after looking at it, then handed it to Fei Shi and said, "This thing comes from Xudu. Yuan Zhi and I can't tell the authenticity. It is said that Military Advisor Zhuge is good at distinguishing the authenticity from the fake. You can take it back and give it to him on the way."

Fei Shi took the edict with doubts. Just after taking a quick look, his face suddenly changed and he exclaimed in surprise: "Is this...is this really an edict from the emperor?"

Lan Tian frowned and said: "This edict is from Geng Ji, the young master. He secretly sent people to Jiangling. At the beginning of the year, Geng Ji, Wei Huang, Ji Ben, Ji Miao and others coerced the emperor to rebel against Cao Cao. Unfortunately, they were defeated and executed in Xudu. Is this hypocritical?

The imperial edict is now dead without any evidence..."

"The emperor made his lord the king of Hanzhong. Logically speaking, it's impossible for him to be such a childish person, but he can't completely disbelieve it. However, it's very possible that he's making an edict..." Seeing Lan Tian's noncommittal, Fei Shi expressed his own opinion.

In fact, this matter is not unconfirmed. Although Geng Ji was executed, the emperor is still there, but there is no way to verify it. Lan Tian launched this thing at this time just to make Liu Bei's title of king more legal.

If Liu Bei won Hanzhong but did not advance to the royal title, those generals who had been through life and death would not have the opportunity to be promoted, which would greatly dampen their enthusiasm for war, so Lan Tian took the initiative to help Liu Bei promote this matter.

Fei Shi is an upright person and dares to speak the truth, but such a low emotional intelligence can easily offend others.

Lan Tian remembered that the officials recommended Liu Bei to be emperor, but Fei Shi was demoted because of his outspoken advice and was discouraged.

"The public examination makes sense. After all, Geng Ji is a close official of the emperor. Although he is dead without any evidence and has no chance to ask the emperor for confirmation, there is still a way to know the truth and falsehood." Lan Tian said slowly.

"Let Military Advisor Zhuge do the identification? But this is still a bit of a joke..." Fei Shi shook his head.

Lan Tian replied with a smile: "In the past, the emperor gave a blood edict to the lord to kill the national traitors. That blood edict is in the hands of Zhuge Military Advisor in Chengdu. Let him compare the handwriting of the two edicts, and the authenticity can be verified soon.

."

"The blood edict was written with fingers, but this edict doesn't seem to be..." Fei Shi put forward a different point of view.

Lan Tian continued to explain: "People have their own characteristics in the direction in which they start and finish writing, as well as the weight and weight of their strokes. There are many calligraphers in Chengdu, so you should be able to tell whether the calligraphy is written by the same person."

"This is a good idea, but I am anxious to return to Yangpingguan to find my lord to restore his life. Can this edict be handed over directly to my lord?" Fei Shi suggested.

Lan Tian waved his hand and said: "My lord, the battle at Yangping Pass is in full swing. It is not appropriate to send an edict with unknown authenticity. Why don't Gongju (Fei Shi) and Song Xiaowei divide their troops into Shu in two groups? You can go to Chengdu to see Zhuge Military Advisor with the edict in hand. I will

Let him go directly to Yangping Pass to report to the Lord."

Fei Shi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine. I'm not used to taking a boat. If Captain Song rides with me, he might arrive later..."

Lan Tian took out a small pottery bottle and handed it to Fei Shi, "This thing is called Zhiyun Pill. You can take it on the road for public use. Just remember to take one pill before taking the boat."

Fei Shi thanked him and said, "I know the name of Zhiyun Pills. Thank you General for the generous gift."

"The authenticity of this edict is unknown at the moment. When the official goes to Shu, he must be properly kept and must be handed over to Kong Ming in person." Xu Shu reminded.

Fei Shi nodded, "The Humble Officers will treat it as life and carry it with them everywhere."

At this time, Guan Yu called Liao Hua, the chief clerk who was waiting outside the door, and then pointed to Fei Shi in the room and said: "Gongju worked hard all the way. I heard that he vomited dozens of times. Yuan Jian (Liao Hua), please take care of me first.

After I finish talking with Ziyu and Yuan Zhi, I will take care of him."

"Wei." Liao Hua cupped his fists and accepted the order, then took Fei Shi out.

After Liao Hua left, he closed the gate of the side hall again. Guan Yu glanced at the gate and asked curiously: "Why did Fei Gongju handle such a big thing? He seemed skeptical about it."

Lan Tian explained with a smile: "If my brother-in-law can capture Hanzhong, he will be crowned King of Hanzhong. No matter whether it is the officials in Jingzhou or Yizhou, most of them actually hope that my brother-in-law will be crowned king, like Fei Gongju's attitude

There are quite a few, and we just need to produce evidence to shut these people’s mouths.”

"Can Yuan Zhi's imitation calligraphy be fake and authentic?" Guan Yu asked again.

Lan Tian said calmly: "Regardless of whether it is true or false, as long as someone is willing to believe it, then falsehood is also true. Kong Zhizhi is superb and must know the profound meaning."

Xu Shu said slightly worriedly: "There should be no problem with Kong Ming. I'm just worried that people with ulterior motives will use the edict to ruin my reputation. It doesn't matter. I'm just worried that the popularity my lord has accumulated over the years..."

"Even if someone insists on correcting the imperial edict, it was the work of Shaofu Geng Ji, Sizhi Wei Huang and others. How can it be linked to Yuan Zhi or the lord? Yuan Zhi, please relax, I think this matter has to be okay." Lan Tian

His eyes were firm.

When Lan Tian said this, Guan Yu felt that it was certain that Liu Bei would become the king. He said with some sigh: "Big brother's attack on Hanzhong will definitely draw away Cao Cao's main force. When the time comes, I will attack Xiangyang and Fancheng will cooperate.

But Xiangyang City is extremely strong, and Zhou Yu failed to win the siege for a year. Do Ziyu and the military advisor have any clever ideas to help me?"

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "There has been a lot of rain in the past two years, and the Han River will definitely rise sharply. When the water rises, the boat will be lifted up, and Yun Chang will lead his troops to attack, and we will be able to conquer it."

"Ziyu and Yuan Zhi have the same opinion, so Guan just wait for the heavy rain from heaven." Guan Yu nodded.

Is the Battle of Xiangfan about to begin? Lantian suddenly trembled, and he immediately asked something irrelevant.
