"Brother Young Chang shouldn't have come out yet! How about coming to my Hanzhong? Don't dare to say anything else, as long as Brother Youchang is willing to come to a certain side, he can take on an important position, and he can be selected by Youchang. ”

Seeing Ma Jian sit down, Zhang Yong naturally turned the page, as if nothing had happened, drank the tea, and then changed his voice and dug up the corner in front of Ma Liang and others.

"Ahem! Shizi's joke is a bit big. ”

Seeing a burst of thought flashing in Ma Yan's eyes, Ma Liang's face turned green, his Ma family's Qianli horse, even if he can't hope for the three important ministers in the future, he will fight for the position of Jiuqing, no matter how bad it is, he will vote for the Ming Lord, if Zhang Yong's words are abducted to Hanzhong, Ma's blood will be lost.

"Jokes? How could Brother Ji Chang think like this? What he said is from the bottom of his heart, not only childish, but all the gentlemen here, one counts as one. ”

Looking at Zhang Yong's solemn expression, Ma Liang and the others shook their faces again, and they didn't know how to answer.

The ghost participates in the Jingxiang Literary Meeting and appreciates the demeanor of Jingxiang scholars.

Taking advantage of the strike between the two sides and the prosperity of the Jingxiang Cultural Society, it is your real purpose to come to dig the foot of the wall!

Although the recruitment of talents in Nanxiang is huge, because Liu Biao ordered the sailors to block the south bank, those in Nanxiang are at best three melons and two dates, and the rest are mediocre and unbearable.

Will Zhang Yong really be willing in his heart?

……

After all, the two sides are their own masters, although you and I have talked a lot, there is still an inevitable cold situation in the middle, after the general's greetings for half an hour, Ma Liang slapped Ma Tan's impatient thoughts, and pulled Ma Tan and Jiang Wan and others to leave Linshui Pavilion one after another.

"Childe, these scribes are like this! Don't go to your heart. ”

Maybe it was because of the sudden appearance of Ma Liang and others, Cai Zhong Cai He also faded the idea of seeing the style of the singer of Linshui Pavilion again, and stood on Zhang Yong's left and right... I already have the idea of leaving.

"Childe has been traveling all the way, and he hasn't found a place to stay! My Cai family has a house in the south of the city, no one lives yet, this courtyard is closer to Xiangyang Academy, and it can save a lot of distance to go to Wenhui in Japan. ”

"Then trouble the two generals!"

arched his hand, Zhang Yong did not refuse, turned around and walked downstairs.

Speaking of which, Hanzhong Zhang's has also secretly acquired a lot of assets in Xiangyang, but if he can bear the name of Cai's family, he can also deter a lot of small people in Xiangyang, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Jing Xiangwen meeting.

On this day, all the alleys in Xiangyang were empty, and hundreds of people gathered outside the Xiangyang Academy in the early morning... The area around the literary platform has already been built, just to see the demeanor of Jingxiang's talents, but fortunately, Zhang Yong lives in Cai's Courtyard, otherwise he wants to find a place to stay... I'm afraid it's going to take a while.

Around the station, the Quartet attended, with Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue... The Jingzhou bigwigs led by him sat down early, and Zhang Yong also saw Wang Cang, Fu Xun and others.

"Come, let's... Give it a go! ”

With two voices, a young man in between, under the protection of two guards, squeezed in... It happened that Zhang Yong was not far away, who was it if it wasn't Shang Sun?

"Huh..."

"Brother Zhang, you're here too!"

Seeing Zhang Yong and Meng Qiu, Shang Sun's eyes lit up, and he led Lu and Xu to squeeze over.

"Brother Shang Xian, Brother Xu, Brother Lu..."

Seeing the three of them, Zhang Yong's mouth also showed a smile.

The first meeting is fate, and the second meeting is separation.

"How!? Did you catch up with Wang Zhongxuan that day? ”

Glancing at Wang Cang on the high platform, Zhang Yongwan smiled and asked Shangsun.

Although they were separated by a few zhang, he could still perceive that at the moment when Shangsun appeared, Wang Cang on the high platform was looking around. When he glanced at the three of them, he couldn't help but tremble, and his face became slightly ugly.

Brother Zhang laughed! I did have something to do that day, how could I have time to find that Wang Zhongxuan! ”

Facing Zhang Yong's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if he had overdrawn everything, Shang Sun looked a little weak-hearted, his face turned red for a while, and he hurriedly denied it.

Even if he was killed, he would not tell Zhang Yong that he did go to find Wang Cang that day, tied him up and made a poem, and finally beat Wang Cang because he felt that it was far from the artistic conception of Luo Shenfu.

"Here we go! You see... That person is a disciple of the Ma clan in Yicheng, named Ma Tan, and he is the most outstanding son of the Ma clan, and it is rumored that his talent is no less than that of his brother Ma Liang, in my opinion... In this cultural meeting, this person should have a good chance of winning the championship. ”

"You know what! There are no less than hundreds of qualified scholars who are qualified to participate in the conference this time, many of whom are talented, how can Ma Tan win the championship?

In my opinion, eighty percent of this year's crown will fall on Pang Lin, not to mention that his brother Pang Tong once showed his style at the literary meeting, but he is the origin of a Pang family..."

"Humph! Is the state pastor the one who pays attention to his origin? As long as you have real talent and real learning, what about your background? ”

"Brother Tai's words are reasonable, a certain person thinks so, how can it be... Compared with Pang and Ma, they are more optimistic about Xiang Lang and Dong Yun, and these two may not be as good as Pang Lin and Ma Jian in terms of background, but the virtuous names they have made in the past two years are not weaker than these two people. ”

"Look... Isn't that person Zhang Yuan of the Changsha Zhang family? I heard that he has been participating for two years in a row, but I didn't expect ... I haven't given up this year... I just don't know if this person can kill the top ten this year..."

"What about the top ten! What about the top five? Up and down in Jingzhou, only the first one can be remembered. Wang Zhongxuan, Yi, Deng Zhi, Xu Shu... Zhuge Liang... Pang Shiyuan, Jiang Wan..., for most scholars, born in this era... Encountering so many geniuses is destined to be only used as a foil..."

……

The process of this year's Xiangyang Cultural Society, which is roughly different from previous years, the first two rounds of one interpretation of the scriptures, the second is according to the topic, after a morning of screening, more than 300 scholars, only 16 people remained.

Such as Pang Lin, Ma Yan, Dong Yun, Xiang Pet... and others are all listed, as for Zhang Yuan... Unfortunately, it stopped in the second round.

"You are all young talents from Jingzhou, or Jiangdong and Yizhou, and you are all my good sons."

"If the wind and rain are shaking today, Jingzhou has gone through Jiangdong, Cao's, and Hanzhong soldiers, so after we discussed with the Ming Gong, the third round of this year, when the change is a change, mainly to the policy, this topic... When starting with the defense of the territory, there is no limit to the remainder, and the time limit is two hours. ”

Perhaps it was the shocking changes in the past few months that made this uncrowned king who lived in Jingchu feel threatened and pressured, and he couldn't see the future of Jingzhou clearly, so that... People like Liu Jingsheng, who like false names and gorgeous chapters, have to bow their heads... Think carefully about the road ahead in Jingzhou.

"It's actually a strategy, and I thought it was a polemic!"

"The state pastor's move has its own deep meaning, so what's the harm if you don't look down on the polemic! To be able to see the demeanor of my Jingzhou scholar is enough to comfort this trip. ”

……

"Do you want to defend your territory?"

Looking up at the old man on the stage, Zhang Yong's eyes were slightly condensed, and after a while, he shook his head and sighed secretly.

The general trend of the world is divided and combined.

Want to stay on the side in troubled times?

It's undoubtedly a fool's dream.

In this troubled world, if you don't advance, you will retreat, maybe Liu Jingsheng is really old and dying... The eyes are still on Jingzhou, which is an acre and a third of land.

If you can't focus on the world, how can you fight for the world...

I don't know if it's an exclamation for Liu Jingsheng... Or worried about the future of the Zhang family in Hanzhong, at this moment Zhang Yong completely lost interest in the so-called Jingxiang event.

The Jingxiang Cultural Conference is indeed a huge event in the south of the Yangtze River.

Can... All of this, in Zhang Yong's view, has nothing to do with Jingzhou's current predicament.

……

Jing Mountain.

It is only dozens of miles away from Xiangyang, it is located at the junction of Nanjun and Fangling, and then it is connected with Jingshan, surrounded by mountains, and the scenery is picturesque.

As a barrier to the western part of Xiangyang, Jing and Jing Er Mountains are often heavily guarded, but even so... The talented and beautiful women who come and go to Jing and Jing are still endless.

Poetry and painting, viewing the scenery and admiring the moon, bowstring hunting, sword roaring...

Hanzhong is surrounded by mountains, looking up is a mountain, looking down is a hill... Mountains and rivers, large and small, Zhang Yong doesn't know how many he has seen.

But... Although the mountains and rivers of Hanzhong are majestic and steep... It has an indescribable meaning, but compared with the Jingshan in front of Zhang Yong's eyes at this moment, it has a lot less popularity and literary meaning.

At this moment, several days have passed since the Xiangyang Cultural Conference, and after the Xiangyang Cultural Conference, Zhang Yong was not in a hurry to return to Fangling, but stayed in Xiangyang peacefully.

Because... On the night of the end of the meeting, Cai Mao came, with Liu Biao's "goodwill", because Jingzhou lost too many war horses in the war against Jiangdong and Hanzhong, which greatly weakened the strength of Jingzhou's iron cavalry and weakened the mobility of the land division, and hoped to obtain more war horses through the Zhang clan in Hanzhong as a supplement.

After figuring out Liu Biao's thoughts, Zhang Yong felt that he was more stable, as long as the Jingzhou officials didn't look for him, even if he walked sideways in Nanjun, I am afraid that no one would trouble him.

What's more... Buying a war horse, you always need a large amount of deposit, don't you?

When Liu Biao died in August, Cao Junbing was mighty, and this large amount of money was earned in vain, which was enough for him to recruit more than 10,000 troops.

"Childe! How is it? Although this Jingshan Mountain is far inferior to Qinling Mountains and Nanshan Mountain, the scenery in it... It's not inferior! ”

Looking at the few young women who picked up the mountain at the foot of the mountain, Cai He scratched his eyes fiercely and smiled a little obscenely.

"General Cai, pay attention to the image! Although there is no restraint from the generals after leaving Xiangyang, we should not forget the purpose of our trip. ”

Looking at Cai Zhong next to him with a clear look, Zhang Yong suddenly understood in his heart that these two rammers were definitely habitual offenders.

That's right, as a child of the Cai family, as long as you don't oppress the children of the big family, ordinary small families... Who dares to run to the Cai family in Xiangyang to make trouble?

Who makes... This is how unreasonable this day is.

After ordering a sentence from the two of them, Zhang Yong turned his gaze to a young man not far away, who was not an outsider, but Liu Cong, the second son of Jingzhou Mu Liu Jingsheng, around... In addition to the guards of the large number of governors around them, more of them are the children of the big families who show their style at the Xiangyang Cultural Conference.

It seems that Liu Jingsheng has already made a decision!

Liu Cong's ascension to the throne means that the dispute between the sons of Jingxiang has become a foregone conclusion.

Jingzhou fought continuously, the troops were greatly damaged, and Liu Jingsheng became seriously ill day by day, the "king" who was in charge of the Jingchu territory for thousands of miles already had a sense of crisis and urgency, and had to start training the team for the next one, and pulled him on... is just to use his hand to ease the relationship with Hanzhong and pave the way for Liu Cong.

But... After all, no matter what Liu Jingsheng does at the moment, it is too late.

The general trend is like a river, and it is difficult to return to the water.

It's a pity that a good game of chess has rotted like this in Liu Jingsheng's hands.
