Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 90: Troublemakers? Sending Death to Themselves!

General Zheng Bei!

When Xing Daorong saw this official position, he immediately understood Liu Bei's expectations of him.

Due to the special relationship between Shu Han and Eastern Wu, Liu Bei never appointed the General of the Eastern Expedition.

To support the Han Dynasty, the most direct goal for Shu Han was to launch a Northern Expedition.

The title of General Zheng Bei shows the hope Liu Bei placed in him.

After taking Chengdu, it was natural that Chengdu became Liu Bei's daily residence.

As a trusted general, he must follow Liu Bei and move his family to Chengdu.

These days, it is common for women to follow their husbands around.

When Fan Yufeng heard the news in Jiangling that she would follow Xing Daorong to Chengdu, she was as happy as a lark and bustled around in the yard, but she didn't know what she was busy with.

Just giving orders for a while.

"Hey... we don't need these things anymore. Let's travel light and as fast as possible!"

Hearing the lady's call, the maids quickened their movements.

They all heard that their general was promoted to General Zheng Bei and was now settled in Chengdu.

Chengdu is a much better place than Jiangling!

Everyone hopes to have a better life throughout their life, so the entire Xing Mansion is filled with joy.

Fan Yufeng gave a few instructions, then suddenly remembered something and hurried back to the house.

He took out a box and looked at the letters inside. After hesitating for a moment, he put them away one by one.

These were the letters she had exchanged with the Qiao Mansion in Jiangdong in the past few days. Now that she was going to Chengdu, it would be even more difficult to send letters across Jingzhou in the future. Although she felt that Xing Daorong might scold her if he found out, she still kept them all.

After everything was sorted out, Fan Yufeng went to Chengdu.

...

Xing Daorong's house was specially designated by Liu Bei.

Originally, after Yizhou was conquered, Liu Bei wanted to distribute the famous land and houses in Chengdu to various officials.

Zhuge Liang advised, "The people of Yizhou have just suffered from war, and their fields and houses are all gone. Now we should return the land to the people, so that they can live and work in peace, and the people will be satisfied. It is not appropriate to take it away for personal reward."

Liu Bei was very happy and followed his advice.

They were asked to formulate laws for governing the country, and the criminal laws were quite severe.

At that time, Fa Zheng had some objections: "In the past, Emperor Gaozu made three laws, and the people were all grateful for his virtue. I hope that the military advisor will be lenient in punishment and simplify the law to appease the people."

I mean don't be too harsh.

Zhuge Liang said, "You know the first point, but not the second. Qin used tyrannical laws, and the people resented it, so Emperor Gaozu won it by being lenient and benevolent. Now Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent, and his virtuous policies are not implemented. His power and punishments are not strict, and the relationship between the ruler and his subjects is gradually being degraded. If you favor him with a high position, he will be cruel; if you obey him with kindness, he will be slow to show favor. This is the reason for the corruption."

"I now intimidate them with the law, and when the law is enforced, they will know kindness; I limit them with titles, and when titles are added, they will know honor. When kindness and honor go hand in hand, there will be moderation between the upper and lower levels. The way to govern is evident in this."

Fa Zheng was impressed by Zhuge Liang's numerous reasons.

Since then, the military and civilians have been safe.

Troops were dispatched to pacify the various counties, and all of them were pacified.

Originally, everything was developing peacefully and smoothly for everyone, but some people became dissatisfied because Liu Bei specially allocated a big house to Xing Daorong.

...

But on this day, Liu Bei and his civil and military officials were discussing in the palace the matters of pacifying and mobilizing troops in various places in the state.

Suddenly, a man in his early thirties came forward and bowed, saying, "My lord, the military advisor said the other day that we should return the property to the people, but I heard that General Xing has occupied a large house. May I ask if you know anything about this?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Everyone knew that Xing Daorong was Liu Bei's direct general. It was very bold to point the spear at him! They all looked over and found that it was Peng Ying from Guanghan County, Guanghan Commandery.

Seeing that it was him, no one was surprised.

This Peng Ying has never been likable.

When Liu Zhang was in power, he punished him with the "tongue-tie punishment" (shaving his hair and beard, and putting him in shackles), and also demoted him to a prisoner.

From then on, Peng Ying's temperament changed.

Always focus on people's mistakes, fearing that they will not get the punishment they deserve.

To put it bluntly, I want others to taste the pain I have endured.

Later, when Liu Bei entered Shu, Peng Ying was recommended by Fa Zheng and became an official again.

Unexpectedly, it became a big hit this time.

Xing Daorong also looked at Peng Ying in surprise, thinking that he had risked his life for Liu Bei, but before the "music and dance" had even begun, someone was already dissatisfied.

After thinking about it, I decided not to embarrass Liu Bei.

Besides...

He is not afraid of death, so how can he be upset by this Peng Ying who came out of nowhere?
He immediately stepped forward and said, "Peng Congshi, where did you come from when you said the word 'seizure by force'?"

Peng Ying raised his eyebrows, but tilted his neck slightly and said, "Your house is the residence of General Ping Kou, how can it not be occupied by force?"

The general who pacified the bandits was Liu Mao, Liu Zhang's brother.

When Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, he promoted Liu Zhang to General Zhenwei and Liu Mao to General Pingkou.

But Liu Mao has been dead for more than a year. Isn’t it just disgusting that Peng Ying is talking about this now?

Xing Daorong immediately said: "Liu Mao died a long time ago, and the house has no owner."

"No, no, even though General Pingkou is dead, his family is still among them." Peng Ying was very argumentative and even brought up Liu Mao's family.

But who are Liu Mao’s family members?

It was Wu Yi's sister, Wu, the future Queen of Shu Han.

Although Liu Bei may have already thought about accepting Wu at the moment, who knows the specific situation?

Wow, this Peng Ying is really a talented person. He offended so many people with just a few words.

Xing Daorong took a quick glance and saw that Wu Yi looked a little embarrassed. He thought that Peng Ying was really a head offered to him. If he could defeat him today, it would not only be good for himself but also relieve the embarrassment of the Wu family.

Thinking of this, Xing Daorong became excited.

He took two steps forward and shouted, "Xing has been following my lord through thick and thin since he left Jingnan. He never cared about life or death. He started his army in Jingnan, fought against Jiangdong, sent troops to Zhang Lu, seized Hanzhong, and fought to the death in Luo County. Today, when the great cause has just been accomplished, I didn't expect that someone would find a reason to punish me."

Listening to Xing Daorong recounting everything he had done, Liu Bei's originally tense expression couldn't help but tense.

It was only when no one else saw him that Xing Daorong continued, "The lord once said that the property should be returned to the people, but Liu Mao has been dead for many years. According to your idea, if he was still alive, would you have asked the lord to send him to Jingzhou and leave him a house in Chengdu?"

"So... should we leave a house here for Liu Zhang?"

"You are talking nonsense, that is not what I meant!" Peng Ying could only say "nonsense" after hearing Xing Daorong's heart-piercing words, but he did not know what reason to use to refute.

How could he resist Xing Daorong's "equivalent substitution" that switched concepts?

I was speechless and had no idea how to refute.

When Peng Ying was demoted to a slave by Liu Zhang some time ago, he did not participate in the entire Yizhou campaign. He knew that Xing Daorong was powerful, but he did not know that he was so eloquent.

He originally wanted to find a reason to come forward as a minister of remonstration and show off in front of the new master, and he was not targeting Xing Daorong.

I just didn't expect that the purpose of showing off myself would end up hitting a wall.

It seems that Xing Daorong's mouth is more capable than his fighting skills!
