Let's say that Dong Yun went to Hanzhong with dozens of entourages, and according to Pang Tong's instructions, he went to visit Yang Song first.

For Yang Song, the traverser Liu Cong has very mixed feelings about him.

Yang Song was an important adviser of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Lu obeyed his words, first Liu Zhang bribed Yang Song, won Zhang Lu to send troops to reject Liu Bei, then Liu Bei bribed Yang Song to earn Ma Chao, and finally Cao Cheng bribed Yang Song to recover Hanzhong, and Cao Cheng Prime Minister rewarded the original Zhang Lu's subordinates after recovering Hanzhong, but beheaded Yang Song.

However, for Yang Song, Liu Cong agreed with the evaluation of Mr. Yi Zhongtian in later generations. As a military commander, Liu Cong is familiar with the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, but he has not seen any record of Yang Song, and Mr. Yi Zhongtian's description of Yang Song is indeed deeply impressed.

Yang Song, a native of Huayin, a great Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, an outstanding thinker, politician, strategist, a great market economist, the great-ancestor of Yang Jian, the founding monarch of the Sui Dynasty, and the founder and leader of China's market economy. There is nothing wrong with thinkers, politicians and strategists, and great market economists are a bit exaggerated. However, his great-grandson is Yang Jian, which shows that this person is not simple, including his entire family.

Zhang Lu seized Hanzhong and drooped for 30 years. Hanzhong is rich and has abundant grain and grass, which is largely due to Yang Song. Is Zhang Lu a Shimo person? The founder of Taoism, in today's terms, is the Great Immortal, and what he advocated is not beneficial to economic construction. Who was the first to propose the real estate bidding, auction and listing system in Hanzhong? Who took the lead in realizing the development of commercial housing during the Three Kingdoms period?

This person is Yang Song, and the implementation of a series of measures, including the construction of commercial housing, the marketization of medical care, and the marketization of education, has made Hanzhong the richest place in Sichuan. There are poems: Nine days out of a Hanzhong, thousands of households and thousands of doors into the drawing; The grass, trees, clouds and mountains are like splendor, and Qinchuan has no time here?

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes Yang Song in great detail, Liu Bei once sent someone to bribe him when he entered Shu, so that he could slander and frame Ma Chao who went to aid Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu listened to his slander, so that Ma Chao had no way out and surrendered to Liu Bei. This fact exists, but the point of view is biased. Ma Chao is brave and unscrupulous, and he can see the clues from the dispute between him and Han Sui.

Yang Song is strategic, early to see that Ma Chao is not a loyal minister, it happens that Hanzhong at that time to achieve the policy of attracting foreign investment, in order to attract Liu Bei to participate in the real estate development of Hanzhong, Yang Song bears the infamy of Ma Chao through the ages, it can really be described as "the only one in the ages, the sun and the moon can shine together".

In the twentieth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was 61 years old at that time, and he still personally led the army to Yangping Pass. Just a Zhang Lu, why did the old Cao Cao lead the team to fight in person? Even if it is for Liu Bei, it is completely possible to wait for Hanzhong to conquer Dongchuan in person, in fact, the purpose of Cao Cao's personal expedition is for Yang Song, Jia Xu and other advisers have said: Those who win Yang Song will win the world! Don't be deceived. Who is Jia Xu? Ghost talent, so Liu Congcai killed Jia Xu at every opportunity. Yang Song, who can be recognized by Jia Xu, is naturally not simple.

Historically, when Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong, Zhang Lu was timid and wanted to surrender. However, his younger brother Zhang Wei held his own martial arts and sent troops to Yangpingguan to confront Cao Cao, and was defeated and captured. Later, Cao Cao besieged Hanzhong, and Cao Cao's combat strength was several times greater than that of Zhang Lu, so why should he be afraid of just one Pound? It is completely possible to copy the method of capturing Zhang Liao or besieging Zhao Yun, but Cao Cao finally chose to bribe Yang Song (Romance Theory).

In fact, Cao Cao's envoy said to Yang Song, you have to sacrifice Pang De, otherwise we will kill Zhang Lu after the city is broken. Yang Song has always been loyal and courageous, and immediately abandoned Pang De and defended the lord Zhang Lu. This is infamous through the ages, but Lu Xun didn't also say: A real warrior dares to face the bleak life and dripping blood. Lu Xun is talking about Yang Song, a real warrior!

After Cao Cao separated Pang De, he thought he had a plan, Yang Song has been scolded by the world, can he not surrender? At this time, Yang Song knew that if he persuaded Zhang Lu to open the city and surrender, Cao Cao would be suspicious and would behead Zhang Lu (there was a precedent for Liu Cong). Therefore, Zhang Lu was persuaded to go out of the city to fight to the death, and at the critical moment, he closed the city gate and pretended to surrender. In order to ensure Zhang Lu's safety, you can imagine that Cao Cao is the hero of the world, and if he kills a person like Zhang Lu who fights to defend the city, he will lose the hearts of the people in Hanzhong. Therefore, relying on Yang Song's plan, Zhang Lu picked up a life.

The first thing Cao Cao did after entering the city was to ask Song to Ma Ding to serve as the chief economist of Wei, and he didn't want Song Zhengse to say: "Loyal ministers do not serve the two masters." unpleasant, flick your sleeves out. Song implemented the market economy policy and was jealous of the Wei magnates, so he offered flattery: Yang Song wanted to rebel and voted for Liu Bei. the shock, think deeply, if you want to be like this, it's better to kill it! Therefore, cut the poplar pine and the city. Woohoo, General Jansson.

Later generations have poems to praise the clouds: how can the martyrs be willing to obey the two masters, and Yang Junzhong is still alive and brave. Gao Ming is like the moon on the horizon, shining in Seoul every night. There are also poems: There are many scholars in Dongchuan, and they are loyal to Yang Jun. Gaze at arithmetic, look up to know astronomy. The heart is like iron to death, and the air is like a cloud when it is in danger. Laughing is evil to ten thousand people, who knows that you know your heart.

In fact, there are many famous ministers in history because of the shackles of traditional Confucianism and for political purposes have been distorted, Liu Cong believes that Mr. Yi Zhongtian discussed that Yang Song is a great talent during the Three Kingdoms, economists, reform and opening up, but a corruption is enough to spoil the name of a body, the corrupt officials during the Three Kingdoms period are different from today, think that Zhang Lu is also a hero, must be an outstanding person, and the ministers around him must also choose capable people.

He Shen's greed * corruption was favored by Qianlong, and being good at seeing the wind and making the rudder is only one aspect, the most important thing is that Yang Song, He Shen and other corrupt ministers are actually capable ministers, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, but even the most capable courtiers have lost their heads when it comes to corruption, and the story of Yang Song and He Shen can give what inspiration can it give to today?

Of course, at present, Pang Tong proposed to bribe Yang Song with money to cut off Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang's contact, which is indeed a good way. With Yang Song's vision and wisdom, he will not fail to see the superiority and inferiority of himself and Liu Zhang. He has never intersected with Zhang Lu, and last year he occupied several counties in Hanzhong and set up Shangyong County. Therefore, the relationship between himself and Zhang Lu does not have to be much better than that of Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang. If you can use money to temporarily stabilize Zhang Lu, you can free up your energy to deal with Liu Zhang with all your might.

As Pang Tong said, Yang Song was extremely greedy, and after accepting Dong Yun's jewelry, he immediately introduced Zhang Lu to him. and promised Dong Yun that he would go around in it, and he would definitely make Dong Yun satisfied. Liu Cong also took a lot of thought about what gift to give Yang Song, and even took out the light leather armor. It's the kind of body armor with two layers of leather inside and outside, and an iron plate in the middle.

Yang Song also couldn't put it down after seeing it, this is a troubled time, this thing sent by Liu Cong is undoubtedly a treasure armor, which is more valuable than ordinary gold and silver jewelry. When Zhang Lu heard that Liu Cong had sent someone to come, he summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss. The main thing, of course, is to listen to Jansson's advice. Because Yang Song had just accepted the benefits of Dong Yun, he naturally helped Liu Cong.

"Lord, Liu Cong is the general of the Southern Expedition, but Liu Zhang has an enmity with the lord. Song sees that Liu Zhang must not be Liu Cong's opponent. At this time, we can't help Liu Zhang, otherwise we will have an excuse to attack Hanzhong when Liu Cong defeats Liu Zhang...... Moreover, Liu Cong promised to return Shangyong and others after capturing Yizhou, and even proposed that Jia Meng be handed over to the lord to manage. It shows the sincerity of the general of the expedition to the south......"

"Really?" When Zhang Lu heard that Liu Cong intended to return the captured counties in Hanzhong, he immediately came to his senses. He and Liu Zhang have always been at odds, and this Liu Cong was also invited in by Liu Zhang himself, he lured the wolf into the house, why should I help my enemy drive the wolf? The two tigers are fighting, and he is watching from the wall, why not? In this regard, other civil and military ministers in Hanzhong also have no opinions, after all, Liu Cong's target is Liu Zhang.

Some people also think that they should take advantage of the competition between the two Liu to send troops to Shangyong or Jia Meng to get some benefits. But Yang Ren resolutely opposed, he was the only one who had directly fought against Liu Cong, and he was defeated in the battle of Shangyong, and Zhang Lu was angry and wanted to behead Yang Ren. Yang Ren put all the responsibility on the head of the dead ghost Yang Ang, and exaggerated how powerful Liu Cong and his subordinates were. Thinking of Cao Cao's defeat in Fancheng that year, Zhang Lu dispelled the idea of fishing in troubled waters.

Later, Dong Yun personally visited Zhang Lu and sent a generous gift to show his sincerity. Under the prodding of Yang Song and others, Zhang Lu agreed to Dong Yun's request and resolutely ignored Liu Zhang's request for help. After Dong Yun got his promise, he set off to return to Jiameng.

And Liu Cong's army did not stop for a moment, and rushed straight from Jiameng to Yucheng.

The news of Liu Cong's army had already been reported to Zhang Ren by scouts, and Zhang appointed people to invite Ling Bao, Deng Xian and others to come to discuss.

"Generals, Liu Cong's rebels have raised 50,000 troops, and Wei Yan, the vanguard of the enemy army, has only left the city for fifty miles, what can the two generals do to resist the enemy?" asked Zhang Ren.

Liu Cong set out from Jingzhou to bring 20,000 people, and then Liu Zhang added 5,000 men and horses to him, and then Tunju Jiameng successively recruited some new soldiers for a year, plus the newly subdued Baishui Pass garrison, isn't it 50,000 people? This Zhang Ren's information is still very accurate.

"General Zhang is a general in Shu, and I am willing to listen to General Zhang's orders" Ling Bao said, it turned out that Zhang Ren was strong in martial arts and skilled in the art of war, but he was a famous general in Shu who had a prestige in the army, and the generals and colonels in the army were all admired, so the two were willing to obey Zhang Ren's arrangement. Even Guanghan Taishou Pang Xi has to obey Zhang Ren's dispatch, this Liu Zhang is still a famous family in the end, and he is not confused at a critical time.

"Since the two generals have pushed back, then Ren will not shirk. Ling Bao listened to the order, and I ordered you to lead 5,000 soldiers to meet the enemy, and the general could lead troops to melee with Wei Yan to test the reality of the enemy. If the enemy army is vulnerable, the general can take advantage of the situation to cover and kill for a while, remember not to chase away, for fear of being ambushed by the enemy. If the general is slightly unsatisfactory, he can lead the troops to retreat to Jinyan Bridge in the east of the city, and his own army will meet the general. Zhang Ren ordered.

"The last general commands!" After receiving the order, Ling Bao led his troops out of the city.
