In September of the same year.

Yizhou, Shu County, Zhangfu.

Looking at the gold, silver and jewelry in front of him, Zhang Song's small eyes narrowed slightly, and then he glanced at Yi Yuan suspiciously, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Yi, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Hehe, my lord has always appreciated talented people, and when he was in Jingzhou, he thought a lot about not driving, and specially ordered to bring a small gift to my lord to visit one or two." Yi Ji smiled gently.

"Hehe, do you think of me?" Zhang Song sneered, and then said proudly: "Brother Yi, I'm afraid your lord is not simply appreciating me, right?" ”

"I guess he wants to covet this great Yizhou, right?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Song shook his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Forgive me for being rude, come and send off guests." ”

"Huh~, Ziqiao is slow." Yi Yuan hurriedly said: "Ziqiao, my lord has no intention of attacking Yizhou, but he is just worried that your lord will unite with Sun Ce of Yangzhou, so it will be difficult to take Yangzhou, so I sent him to pay a visit." ”

"Capture Yangzhou?" Zhang Song raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"Exactly! Our lord has gathered heavy troops and wants to use troops against Yangzhou, and he will inevitably meet Sun Ce's sword soldiers at that time. But your lord sits on the land of Sichuan, and has more than 100,000 soldiers, and my lord is very worried. ”

"But I heard that Ziqiao is the right-hand man under Liu Yuanjun, and he is even more obedient to what Ziqiao said, so I sent me to visit him, and I hope that Ziqiao can help one or two."

After Yi Zhi finished speaking, he said sincerely.

"Hehe, what a good game of chess your lord played. He wants me to convince Liu Zhang that he is good at attacking Yangzhou, and when Yangzhou is pacified, I am afraid that he will march west along the river and capture Xichuan, right? ”

Zhang Song's eyes were like torches, staring at the Iraqi nationality tightly.

Said coldly again: "So, it doesn't seem to be good for me, right?" ”

"Zi Qiao's difference. Imagine, if my lord can really capture Yangzhou, then my lord will sit in the south of the Yangtze River, and how many princes in the world will be able to compete with my lord? ”

"At that time, Ziqiao can take advantage of the situation to return to my lord, dedicate Yizhou, and become a minister of the dragon. In the same way, if my lord is not successful, Ziqiao has nothing to lose, does he? ”

Yi Yuan was happy and said with a hearty expression.

Zhang Song's eyebrows furrowed, slightly pensive.

He has been under Liu Zhang's command for a while, and he did find that Liu Zhang was weak and incompetent, and he couldn't even solve Zhang Lu at the door of his house.

However, when the current situation is not clear today, it is useless to vote for small princes, and it is useless to vote for big princes, so they can only wait and see what happens.

Seeing that Zhang Song did not refuse, Yi Yuan hit the railway while it was hot: "Ziqiao, my lord has swallowed the seven counties of Jingxiang in just one year, and he is really a rare hero." ”

"If we wait for my lord to take Yangzhou, Ziqiao will vote again, I'm afraid it will...,"

"You and I are both smart people, how to choose should be clear in our hearts, at least you can leave a way out for yourself, right?"

Zhang Song pondered for a moment, teased his eyes and said, "Your lord really wants to capture Yangzhou?" ”

"Hehe, that's true."

Zhang Song thought for a moment and said tentatively: "What do you need me to do?" ”

"Sun Ce should have already sent someone to form an alliance with your lord, right?" Yi asked a question, and then said: "Ziqiao only needs to hang this covenant." ”

Zhang Song said with a solemn expression: "Although Liu Zhang is weak, he cares about the territory very tightly. Moreover, the person who came to form an alliance this time was Yu Xuan, whose reputation was well known, and my lord admired it, and agreed to form an alliance. ”

"I'm afraid it's not so easy to break this covenant."

"Hehe, my lord knows that Ziqiao is difficult to do, and he has already made the army and Xinye look at the Central Plains. Ziqiao only needs to persuade your lord to wait and see what happens. ”

"Thinking about it, this shouldn't be difficult for Zi Qiao." Yi Yi smiled gently, and then said: "After the matter is completed, there will be several times the gold and silver given here." ”

Zhang Song's eyes sank slightly, and after a long time, he said: "I don't dare to guarantee this matter, you will take the gold and silver away, and it will not be too late to give it to me if it is successful." ”

"Brother Ziqiao is serious, my lord said, even if it doesn't work, there will be double the gold and silver given here, so I should make it to you as a friend."

Yi Ji clenched his fists and chuckled.

Zhang Song did not refuse, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, send Yi Gongcao to go slowly." ”

Looking at the retreating Iraq, the corners of Zhang Song's eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly, and his expression fell into deep thought.

It was an extraordinary matter, and he had to think it through.

Thinking of this, he shouted outside the door: "Come on, prepare the horse, I want to go to Xindu." ”

......

Xindu,

It is located fifty miles north of Chengdu.

This Xindu county order and Zhang Songnai made friends.

It was nearly noon before the carriage slowly entered the city.

After a while, inside the county government.

Zhang Song hurriedly walked over, looked at his friend Fa Zhengshi who was drinking tea, and couldn't help but chuckle lightly: "Filial piety, you are really leisurely." ”

Fa Zheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled, took a sip of tea and said: "In a county, there are not many government affairs to deal with, so it is naturally leisurely. ”

Zhang Song shook his head, and immediately took on a positive color, signaling the latter to avoid left and right, and when the two scribes in the hall left, Zhang Song said in a deep voice: "Xiaozhi, what do you think of Liu Zhang?" ”

Fa Zheng frowned, a little suspicious.

"Liu Zhang is cowardly and suspicious by nature, and he is ignorant of people, so he can be regarded as a mediocre master." Fa Zheng sighed, he had taken refuge in Liu Zhang for two years, and only now he had only mixed up with a county order, and he was already dissatisfied in his heart.

After speaking, Fa Zheng chuckled again: "What, someone is looking for you?" Is it Zhang Xiu's or Cao Cao's? ”

Zhang Song nodded, and then said: "Zhang Xiu's, someone came to tell me that Zhang Xiu wants to attack Yangzhou, let me persuade Liu Zhang to stay neutral,"

"You promised?" Fa Zheng said urgently.

"Hmm!"

"Ziqiao, you are confused." Fa Zheng sighed helplessly, "Ziqiao try to imagine, at the moment, Zhang Xiu is still thousands of miles away from Yizhou, even if he can take Yangzhou, he will not capture Yizhou within three years." ”

"What's more, Yizhou is the country of Sichuan Prefecture, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it wants to take it, it is not an overnight thing. But if this incident happens in the east window, how will Ziqiao deal with himself? ”

"At that time, Zhang Xiu can't help you, and your Zhang family is afraid of being slaughtered, isn't it."

Zhang Song raised his eyebrows, looking a little hesitant: "What does filial piety think I should do?" To help or not to help? ”

Fa Zheng pondered slightly, and then said: "Since you have already responded, it is naturally not good to refuse, you can talk to Liu Zhang tomorrow, but you must not do it deliberately." ”

"Thinking about it, with Liu Zhang's character, he will definitely not unilaterally destroy the establishment of diplomatic relations with Sun Ce. However, he is weak and incompetent, and he will not go out to fight in Sichuan either. ”

"In this way, firstly, it also reflects Ziqiao's help, and secondly, you can also watch Zhang Xiu's actions."

Zhang Song nodded in contemplation.

"Ziqiao, rest assured, with the risk of Sichuan and Shu, someone will take the initiative to woo you at any time, and you will wait." Fa Zheng said heartily.

"Well, what Xiaozhi said is extremely true, so I was in too much of a hurry." Zhang Song nodded in approval, feeling quite emotional, he was sloppy before.

"I'll talk to Liu Zhanghui one or two days on the next day, and it can be regarded as selling him Zhang Xiu to save face, as for whether he can capture Yangzhou, it depends on his own ability."

Fa Zheng nodded and chuckled, and personally poured tea for him.

Then, the two began to talk about the world and talked happily.
