Now, although Zhang Lu has been destroyed, there is a more ruthless Yuan Xi in Hanzhong.

Liu Zhang couldn't get the number of Yuan Xi's roads, and he still had a certain luck mentality.

He has a grudge against Zhang Lu, and it is not surprising that the two families are fighting. However, Liu Zhang thought that he had no grudge against Yuan Xi, and it was not surprising that he had a sense of luck, so he sent Zhang Song to inquire about the tone.

[The major events of the romance have been advanced...... Could it be my influence?]

Bai Xiaowen thought silently in his heart.

The sequence of events in the romance is Cao Cao's destruction of Yuan - Sangu Thatched House - Battle of Chibi - Ma Chao's troops - Cao Cao's pacification of Hanzhong - Liu Bei's collection of Sichuan.

However, before the battle of Guandu, Zhuge Liang arrived under Liu Bei in advance, and Ma Chaoxing's troops and even Bai Xiaowen's pacification of Hanzhong were several years ahead of schedule.

Bai Xiaowen, a traverser, can no longer be regarded as a butterfly, but a Dapeng, whose wings are like clouds hanging from the sky, under the vibration, the Three Kingdoms plane world is turbulent, and the subsequent historical trajectory is unrecognizable.

Although the trajectory of history has changed, there are still traces to follow.

Bai Xiaowen could judge that Zhang Song's envoy to Hanzhong this time, if he was not satisfied, he would visit Liu Bei on the way back and help Liu Bei collect Xichuan.

Bai Xiaowen's performance in the past three days of seeking talents and turning in knots won Zhang Song's loyalty, and naturally he cut off Liu Bei.

Zhang Song's Xichuan geographical map is of little use to Bai Xiaowen, after all, there is an S-level gold prop of the geographical map of mountains and rivers, but Zhang Song's support is very important to Liu Bei.

Bai Xiaowen thought carefully about how to collect Xichuan after gaining Zhang Song's support, so that Liu Bei had no place to stay.

Zhang Song didn't know what Bai Xiaowen was thinking, and when he got Bai Xiaowen's favor, he thought about repaying the favor and said:

"A person who is not a traitor seeking glory. As the saying goes: A man dies for his confidant. Today, when I meet Yan Gong, if I don't abandon my ugly appearance and clumsiness, I will hand it over, how dare I not put on my liver and guts to reward me with great kindness?

"Although Liu Jiyu (referring to Liu Zhang) is beneficial to the state, he has a weak temperament and cannot use his talents. If Yan Gong does not take Xichuan, Liu Bei will inevitably come to take it; when the time comes, Liu Bei in the west and Sun Ce in the east, and the two families will work together, and the grand cause of Yan Gong to dominate the world will give birth to variables. This is the great opportunity of the world! May Yan Gong be clear. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Song took out a picture from his arms and said: "Before I came, I had secretly drawn a geographical map of the forty-one prefectures and counties of Xichuan and dedicated it to Yan Gong. But looking at this picture, you will know the road in Shuzhong. ”

Bai Xiaowen took the map and unfolded it to take a look, it was written that the distance and the width of the road, including the mountains and rivers and the money and grain of the government treasury, were clearly understood.

Bai Xiaowen thanked Zhang Song and asked, "How is the heart of Xichuan people?"

Zhang Song said: "Although there are many civil and military talents, the hearts of the people are not aligned. I have two confidants and friends: Fa Zheng and Meng Da. Both of them are talented and have always been dissatisfied with Liu Zhang. When I go back this time, I will definitely persuade my two friends to help Yan Gong as both internal responses. ”

Bai Xiaowen held Zhang Song's hand and said with a smile: "Don't drive the golden jade good words, how can you be lonely and disobey?"

Zhang Song was overjoyed and said: "Yan Gong should be sent quickly, and changes will occur later." If Xichuan is taken by Liu Bei, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Definitely." Now there are Liu Bei and Liu Zhang in Xichuan, if I lead the army to persecut, the two Liu will definitely work together to resist. With Liu Zhang's support for the grain and grass soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei's strategists and fierce generals, Xichuan was eager to take Xichuan, and it was difficult to capture it; instead, Liu Bei would be given the opportunity to grasp the military power of Xichuan and win the hearts of the people in Sichuan. ”

Zhang Song nodded yes and said, "Yan Gongzhi is clever. ”

Bai Xiaowen said again: "Liu Zhang's temperament is weak, although he invites Liu Bei to Sichuan, he must be on guard in his heart. After returning to Yizhou, the Duke of Yizhou again stated the benefits and disadvantages, and persuaded him to expel Liu Bei. Liu Bei will inevitably change, causing the second Liu to turn against him! At that time, it was the time to enter Sichuan alone. ”

Zhang Song obeyed his high opinion, and bowed his hand and said: "Yan Gong's words are clear and thoughtful. After Songhui Sichuan, he will try his best to cooperate and expel Liu Bei as soon as possible and welcome Yan Gong. ”

Bai Xiaowen then repaired Liu Zhang, gave Zhang Song a farewell, and drew a copy of the geographical map of Xichuan to Zhang Song, instructing him to do so and so. Zhang Song nodded in agreement.

......

Before returning to Yizhou, Zhang Song deliberately passed by the road near Jiameng Pass.

Sure enough, first Zhao Yun, then Guan Yu, greeted Zhang Song, and entered Jiameng Pass.

Before Zhang Song came to Jiameng Pass, Liu Bei had already led Feng Xiao Pang Tong and Xu Shu to go out of the customs to greet them, shouting all the way to the cold and warm, caring and caring, which was a little warmer than Bai Xiaowen's hospitality.

However, Zhang Song has already realized his self-worth in life from Bai Xiaowen, and it is inevitable that he will be a little interested in Liu Bei's enthusiasm.

After being treated by the "first person in the world" and being introduced as a confidant, no matter how polite an ordinary prince is, it is only in vain. Besides, Bai Xiaowen's charm value is only higher than Liu Bei's.

During the banquet, Liu Bei asked about the results of the mission.

Zhang Song said: "Yuan Xi is a young man, a virtuous and slow man, I was in the pavilion for a few days before I was able to see it, so it's not annoying!"

Liu Bei said: "Then does Yuan Xi have the idea of attacking Xichuan?"

Zhang Song said: "Yuan Xi thinks that the road to Xichuan is difficult and treacherous, and he has no intention of entering the army. He planned to make Liu Zhang the Marquis of Xichuan, and as long as Liu Zhang paid tribute every year, he would no longer capture Xichuan. ”

Liu Bei and Pang Tong were thoughtful, and then kept Zhang Song and stayed in Jiamengguan for a few days.

Zhang Song excused himself and said: "My lord Liu Zhang, I am still waiting for the return of the book, and it is difficult to stay for a long time. ”

Liu Bei held Zhang Song's hand and burst into tears: "I hit it off with Bei Driver, but I can't get married! It's getting late, please don't stay overnight in the Guan, it's not too late to leave tomorrow." ”

Zhang Song saw Liu Bei crying, and hurriedly agreed, but he was also quite emotional in his heart, Liu Bei is lenient and benevolent, and his virtuous name is really worthy.

That night, Liu Bei set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Song, and the banquet was extremely enthusiastic.

The two were speculative, and Liu Bei invited Zhang Song to talk at night with candles and fall asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Song said goodbye. Liu Bei took Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and others to send ten miles in a row, and they still held on to Zhang Song's hand, and they were reluctant.

Zhang Song said: "Uncle Huang don't send it anymore, it's important to guard the customs." ”

Liu Bei sighed: "I hit it off with Yongnian (referring to Zhang Song) at first sight. Say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again!" As he spoke, he was in tears again.

Zhang Song said movingly:

"Song also wants to serve the imperial uncle sooner or later, but he hates that he has no chance. If Uncle Meng does not give up, Song has a saying: Jingzhou is a critical place, with Yuan Xi in the north and Sun Ce in the east, and it is not a place that can stand on the foundation. Yizhou people Yin country wealth, Gaozu because of it became the emperor's industry, the emperor uncle is better to take Yizhou as a home, when the world changes, then wave into the Central Plains, Kuang Fu Han family, the world is very fortunate. ”

While speaking, Zhang Song sent the Xichuan geographical map.

When Liu Bei heard this, he said: "Bei'an dares to do this? Liu Jiyu has been in Shu for two generations, and his grace has been widely received. ”

Pang Tong said: "The lord is the uncle of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he can't occupy the prefecture and county? Yuan Xihan's thief, but he forcibly invaded the territory, who can tolerate it if there are people of insight in the world." ”

Liu Bei stopped Pang Tong again, and was humble again and again, such as being the same sect as Liu Zhang, and he couldn't bear to take away the foundation of the same sect, etc.

Zhang Song said: "Uncle Huang, God doesn't take it, but suffers from it." Now Liu Zhang is weak and weak enough to defend the land, and when the emperor uncle takes his place, when he accomplishes great things, if he thinks that he has contributed to the foundation and made him a prince and a prince, he will also repay him with righteousness, what is the bad faith?"

Liu Bei suddenly said: "Don't drive the theory of gold and stone, be prepared to remember it from the bottom of your heart." ”

......

Zhang Song then returned to Chengdu.

Seeing Liu Zhang, Zhang Song changed his rhetoric again.

Liu Zhang asked about Yuan Xi's tone, and Zhang Song submitted a reply and said: "Yan Guogong has a saying, Xichuan is far away, and he is unwilling to go on an expedition. The lord only needs to pay tribute to the court every year, and he will naturally be at peace, and he will also be named the marquis of Xichuan, and he will be in Yizhou for generations. ”

Liu Zhang read the reply letter and said with great joy: "What is the difficulty of paying tribute? I did not pay tribute to the Yedu court before, just because Zhang Lu was in the way, and the princes of various states were divided, and the road was impassable. Now that Duke Yan has leveled the north and destroyed Zhang Lu, the roads are open, and he should pay tribute. ”

After that, Liu Zhang rewarded Zhang Song again.

Zhang Song thanked him and then said: "The lord invited Liu Bei into Sichuan before, just to resist Zhang Lu, but now that Zhang Lu has been pacified, and Duke Yan has no intention of taking Xichuan, the lord should drive Liu Bei away as soon as possible, so as not to raise tigers." ”

Liu Zhang hesitated: "Xuande and I are the same sect. At first, I invited him to come, but now I have to drive him away when I have nothing to do, and I will inevitably be called cold. ”

Someone next to him said, "The lord is very true. Besides, Yuan Xi, the Duke of Yan, said that he was retiring from the army, who knows whether it is true or not? If Liu Bei is driven away, Yuan Xi will really kill him, and it will be difficult to invite him again. ”

Zhang Song was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly looked at it, and the person who spoke was Huang Quan, the chief bookkeeper.

In fact, in the romance, Huang Quan was against inviting Liu Bei into Sichuan, and once "broke his teeth and admonished".

But at this time and at that time, the situation is different. At that time, Liu Zhang's enemy was Zhang Lu, who could not threaten Xichuan at all, but only suffered from scabies; now he is facing Yuan Xi, who is a tiger and wolf, and is fully capable of defeating Xichuan.

Therefore, Huang Quancai advised Liu Zhang not to drive Liu Bei away easily.

Another person next to him said: "Liu Bei is in Sichuan, and he is also a big trouble. The lord may wish to hold off for a few days and watch the movements of Yan Gong; if the class teacher returns to the court, then there is really no intention of collecting Sichuan, and Liu Bei can be driven away; if Yan Gong stays in Hanzhong and does not go, it is not too late to attack me, and then it is not too late to discuss countermeasures. ”

Zhang Song looked again, this time it was Yizhou who spoke, named Wang Lei.

Wenchen, who is basically loyal to Liu Zhang, is Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others, and the others are silent.

Liu Zhang asked Zhang Song, "What do you think should be done?"

Zhang Song said: "Engaging in Wang Ti is the words of the old man to seek the country, and he can do it without hurry." ”

Liu Zhang also liked such a golden mean, so he ordered to send scouts to investigate the movements in Hanzhong.

After Zhang Song returned home, it coincided with the visit of Fa Zheng and Meng Da.

Zhang Song had a secret discussion with the two of them and said: "I used to think that Liu Bei was the lord of the Ming Dynasty, which is rare in the world; this time I went to Hanzhong and met Yuan Xi, the Duke of Yan, did I know what a male lord was! In my opinion, the Duke of Yan will unify the world sooner or later. We will join Yizhou and dedicate it to Yan Gong. ”

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "If you can be so respected by Zhang Yongnian, Yan Gong must have extraordinary ability." ”

Meng Dadao: "I have also heard of the name of Yan Gong for a long time, swept away the Cao family, Xiliang, and stepped on Wuhuan, and the martial arts shocked the sea. The young man has the ambition, and he can still respect the virtuous and love the man so much, the true master of destiny, I also have the heart to follow it. ”

The three of them laughed and drank and discussed all night.

......

Within a few days, the scout cavalry sent by Liu Zhang had an echo.

The Yan Gong Daxu (dào, big banner) had already evacuated Hanzhong, crossed the Wuguan, and returned to Chang'an, leaving the general Zhang He to guard Hanzhong and relocate the population of Hanzhong to enrich the land of Chang'an's three auxiliaries.

Liu Zhang was overjoyed and said: "Yan Gong really doesn't have the heart of Tuyizhou!" So he gathered to discuss how to "gift" Liu Bei out of the country.

While they were discussing, suddenly one of the two guards of Fushui Pass, Yang Huai, came to see Liu Zhang with a letter from Liu Bei.

Liu Zhang opened the letter and read it, frowned and said: "Xuande said that there have been changes in Jingzhou, and Sun Ce seems to have the intention of betraying the alliance to attack, so I implore me to read it in the same sect and send 30,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 rice grains to assist." What to do?"

Yang Huai said: "The lord doesn't know anything. Since Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he has shown kindness and won the hearts of the people. Now he is asking for money and food for soldiers and horses, and he must not give it to him, otherwise he will be paid to fight the fire, and he will suffer from it. ”

Liu Zhang hesitated.

Others, including Huang Quan, the chief bookkeeper, and Liu Ba's advice, and Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and others also admonished Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang saw that everyone was unanimous, so he took a compromise method, allocated 4,000 old and weak soldiers, 10,000 rice and grain, and handed it over to Liu Bei, and at the same time asked Yang Huai to go back and guard Fushui Pass.

Just two days later, Liu Zhang received bad news.

Fushui Pass has been lost, and the two guards, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, have been beheaded by Liu Bei!

After inquiring about the reason, he learned that Liu Bei got Liu Zhang's reply and scolded him, and under the pretext of returning to Jingzhou, he tricked Yang Huai and Gao Pei to see him off.

Speaking of which, Yang Huai and Gao Pei were also full of self-confidence, and they actually carried a sharp blade and wanted to assassinate Liu Bei when they saw him off, so as to prevent future troubles.

Somehow, the matter was revealed, Liu Bei was wearing heavy armor at the time, and his generals grabbed Yang Gao and the two generals like catching a little chicken, searched for a sharp blade, and immediately beheaded him.

Hearing this bad news, Liu Zhang regretted that he had not done it at the beginning: "I really didn't expect that Liu Bei's wolf ambition really wanted to take away my inheritance, and I still regarded him as a fellow sect in vain! What should I do now?"

Huang Quan said: "Now that Liu Bei has attacked Fushui Pass, the next step must be Luò City. The city is the barrier of Chengdu, and its strategic location is very important. The lord can send elite soldiers to guard the city at night, and Liu Bei can't come over even if he has elite soldiers. ”

Liu Zhang hurriedly ordered four generals in Shuzhong: Liu Bi (guī), Ling Bao, Zhang Ren, and Deng Xian, to raise an army of 50,000 and guard the city. The four generals received the military order and set off.

After the four generals left, Zhang Song saw this opportunity and said: "Lord, Liu Bei has the wisdom of Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, and Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Zhiyong. With the strength of the four generals, can you resist Liu Bei?"

Liu Zhang was also weak for a while: "Then what should I do?"

Zhang Song said: "I have a plan, but Liu Bei does not dare to look at Xichuan squarely. ”

Liu Zhang was overjoyed: "Will the plan be released?"

Zhang Song spoke.

Exactly: just because of the Shu land to seek ministers, to lead the Central Plains heroes. Predict what will happen next, and break it down next time.

(The ending is changed from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms poem, which is interesting and not more serious)
