Peng Yi looked at the letter in his hand and kept mumbling: "Impossible... He can't be so broad-minded!"
No one thought that Liu Mang would let Ma Chao return to Liangzhou. This is a great trust!
At least in the eyes of many people, this kind of behavior is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain.
But if you think about it carefully, Ma Chao today does not have the conditions for rebellion.
Ma Dai and Pang De had already given up their hearts on Liu Mang.
Ma Yunlu is already married to Zhao Yun.
As for the former Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they have all been disrupted and reorganized.
Not to mention, after Ma Chao experienced the Battle of Tongguan, he completely recognized himself.
He is invincible on the battlefield and a fierce general who charges into battle, but he is by no means a wise leader.
Without the help of counselors, he would not even be able to manage this three-acre land in Liangzhou.
With the help of Fa Zheng, Liangzhou can at least be stabilized.
"Peng Yi, this is the prince of Hanzhong who you said does not trust me."
"If you serve sincerely, you can also be put to good use by the Crown Prince."
"It's a pity that for the selfish interests of the faction, the overall situation was abandoned without regard."
When Peng Yi heard this, he was very anxious and shouted: "Ma Chao! How about you let me go and just pretend that I haven't been here today?"
Ma Chao sighed, knowing that what he was going to do next would definitely be criticized.
But Peng Yi is a man of great talent and ambition. If he lets the tiger go back to the mountain on a whim, he will definitely threaten Liu Mang!
"Come here! Escort Peng Yi to Chengdu, and I will personally write a letter to the King of Hanzhong!"
Peng's face was as pale as earth. He had already realized that Dongzhou's faction had finished!
No, it should be said that all the people who organized their own factions and groups under Liu Bei were finished!
…
Chengdu.
Within half a month, Peng Yi was escorted to prison.
Liu Bei was very displeased when he learned that Peng Yi went to Ma Chao and wanted to bribe him. They were enemies of each other both inside and outside the court.
"I treat Peng Yi well, and I treat the people of Dongzhou well. Why is this so?"
Liu Bei still couldn't figure this out, especially after receiving a letter from Liu Mang about the personnel arrangements in Jingnan.
Now Liu Bei understands that if the Dongzhou faction continues to occupy Chengdu, it will be harmful to Yizhou but not beneficial!
"Your Majesty, the Yizhou faction is weak and out of control, and the elders and Jingzhou lineage have no intention of participating in the fight."
"Everyone inside and outside the imperial court should be united and fight for the revival of the Han Dynasty."
"If there are always factions and conflicts of interest, when will the Han Dynasty be revived?"
Zhuge Liang's words have come to this, and Liu Bei understands that he must not be merciful at this moment.
"Behead Peng Yi tomorrow!"
Liu Bei made a prompt decision and ordered Wu Yi, Wu Ban, and Zhang Yi to take up their posts in Jingnan.
This matter quickly reached the ears of the Dongzhou faction.
"Brother, we are going to Jingnan. We are not familiar with the place, and we must be controlled by Zhao Yun."
Wu Ban showed displeasure. If possible, he would prefer to stay in the familiar Chengdu.
"The King of Hanzhong is by no means a mediocre and weak leader like Liu Yan or Liu Zhang."
"Facing the people, he is mainly benevolent and righteous; elders such as Tao Qian and Kong Rong are famous for their trustworthiness!"
"The King of Hanzhong will never show mercy if he faces enemies, especially those who hinder him from reviving the Han Dynasty!"
"Hurry up and ask someone to come into the palace and tell my little sister not to act rashly and make the King of Hanzhong displeased!"
Wu Yi has clearly seen the situation. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang will never allow the emergence of so-called factions, especially the Dongzhou faction that once dominated the sky with one hand.
"Brother! Without the Dongzhou Faction, can we people be reused in the future?"
"Yes! As long as we fulfill our duties and make achievements in office, Prince Wang can even reuse the former Cowherd Deng Ai, let alone us?"
Wu Yi spoke earnestly and told his younger brother: "You must not imitate Peng Yongnian! This may seem smart, but in fact it is self-defeating!"
Wu Ban nodded. Taking Peng Yi's lesson into account, no matter who he was, he had to be very careful.
In the palace.
Mrs. Wu was as frightened as a bird, but fortunately Liu Bei did not neglect her due to the Dongzhou faction.
She once wanted to compete with Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan for the master of the harem, but now she is willing to call them her sisters.
As mother is more valuable than son, everyone is willing to recognize Mrs. Mi as their official wife.
The daughter of a former businessman was finally able to right herself thanks to her son's amazing performance.
Liu Bei also followed the trend and canonized Mrs. Mi as the Princess of Hanzhong.
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were quite happy. It was Liu Mang's presence that prevented their two uncles from taking up official positions that they were not good at as before.
The business between the two was booming. The caravan traveled all over the country and gathered intelligence in Chengdu.
"Second brother, the reason why you and I are in this position today is not because of the wealth accumulated by the Mi family."
"Little sister Gain gave birth to a wonderful nephew, Mang'er!"
"Come on, come on, let me toast my little sister together!"
Mi Zhu raised the wine bottle, followed by Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi.
"Brother! Little sister! When Manger succeeds as the King of Hanzhong, our Mi family will definitely be able to prosper!"
Mi Fang was a little tipsy. Before Mrs. Mi could speak, Mi Zhu had already scolded her.
"Second brother! Our Mi family will never do anything like relatives interfering in politics!"
"What we are good at is the art of merchants. If we can contribute to the court and Mang'er, it is already a favor from the Lord!"
"If you want to play the trick of interfering in politics with your relatives, our Mi family is not far away from being wiped out!"
Mi Fang was so frightened that her back went cold when she heard this.
Thinking of my nephew, could he be one of those mediocre masters in the Eastern Han Dynasty who was manipulated?
Once upon a time, Mi Fang treated Liu Mang as a child.
But now, he is a little afraid of this nephew!
"What the elder brother taught me is that I was the one who talked too much just now!"
Seeing that Mi Fang found her way back, Mi Zhu smiled happily.
"Three of us, brother and sister, have always supported each other."
"My little sister doesn't need to worry about the interests of the family, she only needs to consider the King of Hanzhong and Mang'er."
"We brothers should not interfere in government affairs. We should just treat ourselves as businessmen with official positions."
Mi Zhu is calm and sober, which is why he has become an evergreen tree in the political arena.
"yes, Sir!"
Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi both nodded in agreement.
The personnel changes in Chengdu caused the Dongzhou faction to collapse instantly!
Meng Da was killed for rebelling against Wei, and Peng Yi was killed for his evil intentions.
Fazheng is now in Liangzhou, and brothers Wu Yi and Wu Ban are going to Jingzhou to take up their posts.
It is already very difficult for the people of Dongzhou, who have no one to carry the flag in Chengdu, to form a faction.
"Sir, as soon as you and Mang'er sang together, the Dongzhou sect, which was a headache for Liu Yan and his son, collapsed."
Liu Bei smiled and was very satisfied with Zhuge Liang's arrangement.
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao's thieves failed in their attack on Jiangling. I'm afraid they won't be able to carry out any more military campaigns in a short time."
"I am a big man who has gathered all his strength to conquer Nanzhong and Dingxiliang. Now it is our turn to attack!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, "In three to five years, our army will be able to leave Qinchuan, and the young master will lead his troops to Wanluo! Then the Han Dynasty will be prosperous!"
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
…
Inside the Chengdu mansion.
Everyone in the Dongzhou faction looked at the young man in front of them.
"Zhengfang, from now on I and other Dongzhou people will all obey your orders!"
