Yi Ji accompanied this Zhang Song in Xiangyang City to observe in Xiangyang City according to Liu Cong's instructions for several days, and even Zhang Song proposed to go to Fancheng, Liu Cong agreed at the first time, which made Yi Yuan very confused. Gradually, Yi found that Zhang Song was very talented, and it was estimated that the lord wanted to recruit Zhang Song again, so he did his best to accompany Zhang Song.

On this day, Liu Cong called the Yi nationality to ask Zhang Song about his current situation.

"The lord is clear, Zhang Song is a great talent, and he can't be let go back to Yizhou."

"Oh, he's just a driver in Yizhou, how does his talent compare with Mr.?" Of course, Liu Cong knows that Zhang Song is talented, he is a traverser with a golden finger, but in such a short period of time, it is really rare for Yi to judge Zhang Song's talent without judging people by his appearance.

"Zhang Ziqiao is ten times more talented than me!" Yi Ji was afraid that Liu Cong would not believe it, so he continued: "According to the instructions of the lord, all the things that Zhang Ziqiao needs should be provided. Seeing that he was so hasty and dissatisfied, he stepped forward and asked, but he replied, "I can recite it, so why should I wash and study it line by line?" The thirty-six plans were created by the lord, and my Jingzhou officials are not a booklet, and that Zhang Ziqiao must have never seen it, so he thought he was lying, so he stepped forward to test it, and didn't want him to recite it backwards just once......"

Liu Cong knew that what Yi was talking about should be the truth, these thirty-six plans were sorted out by Liu Cong in Nanjun too punctually back then, and there were senior generals in the army, and some close civil officials in Jingzhou, even Jin Xuan and Zhao Fan These people may not have seen it, and that Zhang Song must not have seen it, presumably this Zhang Song was also deliberately showing, and chose thirty-six strategies in order to attract Liu Cong's attention.

"Mr. has observed in the past few days, has Zhang Songke expressed his willingness to stay in Jingzhou?"

Yi Yuan shook his head, this is exactly what he was worried about, he has accompanied Zhang Song in the past few days, Zhang Song followed Liu Cong's permission to spy on a lot of Jingzhou secrets, but he had no intention of staying, if such a smart person returned to Yizhou, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to letting a super spy go back.

"Sir, please go and invite Zhang Ziqiao, I have something important to discuss with him." In fact, Liu Cong was not temporary, today is the day to decide the major events in Jingzhou, including Wen Ping, Gan Ning, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others were asked to attend the meeting. The theme of the meeting was to discuss Jingzhou's strategy for the next few years. Originally, such a meeting was confidential, and it was impossible for Zhang Song to be invited to participate.

Liu Cong thought about it, if he wanted to win Zhang Song's heart, he had to be honest, and when he heard that Zhang Song was talented, he just asked Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others to test it at the meeting.

By the time the Iraqi led Zhang Song forward, the core members of the Jingzhou delegation, including Huang Zu and Huang Quan, had already taken their seats and began to express their opinions and discuss. Liu Cong motioned for the two to sit down, and Zhang Song didn't know why, so he sat under the head of the Yi nationality and listened carefully to everyone's speeches.

The more Zhang Song listened, the more awkward he felt, and he was very uncomfortable, because what was being discussed here was Jingzhou's strategic goals for the next three to five years. Some people also said that they should take advantage of Cao Cao's new defeat and Sun Quan's siege of Hefei to attack Xudu, regain the emperor, and justifiably support the Han family as a relative of the Han family.

Of course, in the end, under the leadership of Liu Cong, the attack on Yizhou became the mainstream, and then everyone spoke around how to take Yizhou, some said that Shangyong took Hanzhong, and then the troops were divided into two roads, all the way from Hanzhong to the south, all the way out of Nanjun, and finally besieged Chengdu. It is said that after taking advantage of Jingzhou's naval army to first capture Ba County, Jiangzhou, Fuling and other places, and opening the gateway to Yizhou, the benevolent government was widely implemented and the counties of Yizhou were allowed to vote. In short, everyone does not shy away from Zhang Song, the Yizhou pastor, don't do it!

Zhang Song wanted to get up and leave several times, but was stopped by Yi, whose task was to leave Zhang Song. Hearing that Zhang Song couldn't help it, he got up and signaled that he had something to say, of course Liu Cong couldn't wait.

Zhang Song got up and left the table and came to the center of the conference hall to look at the generals in Jingzhou: "Songcai is shallow in learning, but I don't know why Jingzhou is so confident in capturing Jingzhou in three or five years?"

Today, from the juxtaposition of the heroes to Cao Cao's dominance, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Liangzhou each occupy a place. And around, the other three states are all in a corner of peace, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Jingzhou is the place of the four wars, the general of Zhengnan does not think about how to stick to Jingzhou but wants to spy on the land of Yizhou, is he not afraid of not being able to eat? ”

was questioned by Zhang Song in court, Liu Cong was not annoyed, he just wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Zhang Song. Seeing that his speech was valid, Zhang Song continued to ask: "Is Jingzhou's population and land better than Yizhou?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, what Zhang Song said before was the truth, don't look at Liu Biao's eighteen years in Jingzhou without a major war, that is because Cao Cao was busy annexing the princes of the Central Plains, and Cao Cao thought that Yuan Shao, the most preemptive enemy in his life. And the forces in the south are in the middle of Liu Biao, and they are even inferior to Liu Biao.

Now the situation is different, Cao Cao unified Hebei and occupied the hinterland of the Central Plains; Jiangdong Sun Quan also first set Yangzhou, and then Jiaozhou; And Yizhou is stronger than Jingzhou in terms of population and land. Therefore, Zhang Song's doubts are valid.

"The land and population are not as good as Yizhou, but if you want to attack it, is it to deceive me and Yizhou has no one?" Everyone didn't know how to answer, Yizhou is also a gathering place for talents, and Liu Zhang and Liu Cong are almost the same. And Liu Cong knew that the strategists had Fa Zheng and Zhang Song, and the famous generals Huang Quan, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and others were not idle.

"The time and place are favorable, Jingzhou is not advantageous, Song is puzzled how the general can benefit the state?" Zhang Song asked a few questions, and everyone shook their heads, inevitably a little proud.

While the generals were thinking, Liu Cong stood up: "Mr. Zhang's question, I'll answer it!" As Mr. said, Jingzhou is not superior in all of the above. But Mr. Zhang ignored one point, that is, when Cao Cao went south, your father-in-law Liu Zhang did not hesitate to send Mr. Xuchang to try to protect himself. Our Jingzhou soldiers resisted and successfully repelled them.

Maybe Mr. has never heard such a story, but judging from the choice of your lord Liu Zhang and the general, it is tantamount to your lord being a sheep, even if he leads a group of fierce wolves, but he is still not my opponent in Jingzhou, because the generals below me in Jingzhou are all like tigers and wolves, and have the belief that they will win, so that a group of tigers and wolves can easily defeat the wolves led by your lord even if they bring a group of sheep! ”

"Good!" Everyone applauded again and again, there is no doubt that Liu Cong hit the point, which is also what Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others are worried about. Yizhou has favorable terrain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but even so, Cao Cao was not ready to attack it, so he sent an envoy to Xuchang to sue for peace, but Cao Cao was blinded! In fact, Cao Cao not only looked down on Zhang Song, he also looked down on Liu Zhang and Yizhou. That's why he deliberately neglected Zhang Song.

Zhang Song also stood in place after hearing this, and was speechless for a long time, Liu Cong continued: "Although this general only occupies one state for the time being, I am a relative of the Han family, the general of the Han court, and it is my lifelong ambition to help the Han family.

And Mr. Zhang and your lord have only two choices, either surrender to Cao Cao, or return to Jingzhou, now Cao Cao has not pacified Liangzhou, Jiangdong Sun Quan wants to seize Xuzhou, Mr. thinks that within three or five years, my Jingzhou soldiers really can't reach Chengdu? ”

Now it was Zhang Song's turn to shake his head, Liu Cong and Sun Quan's alliance, at the cost of ceding Jiaozhou, must go all out to attack Yizhou, and Cao Cao after the defeat of Fancheng, he will not dare to go south in the short term, which does create an opportunity for Liu Cong to attack Yizhou, and this strategy must be realized within three or five years, otherwise when Cao Cao pacifies Liangzhou, or Cao Cao and Sun Quan divide the victory and defeat on the eastern front, then Cao Cao may go south again, or Sun Quan will go west!

"Actually, I invited Mr. here today, I want to hear Mr.'s high opinion, my Jingzhou soldiers and Yizhou soldiers are all Han people, how can I reduce the loss, if both are defeated, I must be Cao Cao or Sun Quan in a wedding dress......"

This is difficult for Zhang Song, if he talks about how he can successfully attack Yizhou in front of the Jingzhou core group, isn't this tantamount to telling the whole world that he has returned to Jingzhou?
