Zhang Ren's appearance made Zhang Song and Fa Zheng quite disappointed, and Zhao Yun was also very surprised, yesterday this senior brother didn't even say hello when he met, let alone talk about the old days, why did he suddenly appear today to ruin his own good deeds?

However, Liu Zhang thought that Zhang Ren had figured it out, and pointed at Zhao Yun and said: "General Zhang, your junior brother is good at marksmanship, you two junior brothers have a good ...... to learn from each other."

Zhao Yun was a hundred reluctant in his heart, but Zhang Ren came to Liu Zhang with a gun and blocked Zhao Yun: "Obey the order of the Ming Mansion!" After saying that, he raised his gun and stabbed.

Zhang Ren's appearance made Liu Cong breathe a sigh of relief, since Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun are brothers, they will not be much worse in martial arts, Zhao Yun is not that kind of vicious person, Zhang Ren should be able to block Zhao Yun, and he can finally toast with others with peace of mind. Seeing that Liu Cong was finally relaxed, the wealthy people present thought it was the effect of dancing guns.

Even Liu Zhang felt that Liu Cong was too cramped before, which caused him to be nervous, so he turned his face to Liu Cong and said, "Look, they both have excellent marksmanship...... Foolish brother do it first for respect! ”

Zhang Ren in the field was obviously angry, so Zhao Yun couldn't take advantage of it for a while, which made Zhang Song and Fa Zheng extremely embarrassed, Zhang Ren's skills Zhang Song couldn't be clearer, if it went on like this, Zhao Yun had no chance at all. What can I do now? finally persuaded Zhao Yun, but he didn't expect Zhang Ren, who was very uninterested in Liu Cong, to pay attention to the situation here.

Zhang Ren's appearance made Xu Jing, who was originally happy to drink, also frown, Xu Jing was not with Zhang Song, mainly because when Wang was tired and hung the city gate to dissuade Liu Zhang, Xu Jing had spoken out to deter him. And Zhang Ren supported Wang Lei, so Liu Zhang's most trusted Yiwen and Yiwu have been at odds since then.

Today, Liu Zhang set up a banquet to entertain Liu Cong, Zhang Ren did not attend, and Xu Jing and others were anxious. Zhao Yun's dancing of the gun just now was very exciting, and this one would inevitably have a little more ** flavor on the field, Xu Jing didn't like this feeling, but seeing Zhang Ren's serious face, Liu Zhang was still very happy, and it was inconvenient for him to say anything.

In the end, Zhang Song stood up, and he waited for Zhang Ren and Zhao Yun to attack and defend each other for more than a dozen rounds before speaking: "General Zhang's bravery, Yizhou has already been thunderous, today General Zhao is a guest, General Zhang will not have a few drinks on the next stage, give General Zhao a chance to show in front of everyone?" ”

Zhang Song said it is also reasonable, that means that you Zhang Ren is powerful, we all know in Yizhou, Zhao Yun is your junior brother, or a guest, this Liu Zhang and Liu Cong The two lords want to watch Zhao Yun's performance, what are you Zhang Ren doing?

As soon as Zhang Song said this, Xu Jing also stood up: "Yes, General Zhang, you are the first person in Yizhou, this is the consensus." Today, the Ming Mansion has a banquet for General Zhengnan, if you are willing, sit down and drink a glass of wine. It seems inappropriate to carry a gun into battle, fight and kill? "Xu Jing and Zhang Song's starting point is completely different, but the purpose is the same, that is, to ask Zhang Ren to go down.

Zhang Song said alone, Liu Zhang is not serious, but Xu Jing also said, it attracted attention, think carefully about Zhang Song's words are not unreasonable, Liu Cong has not been very natural since he sat down, and now Zhang Ren rashly came out, will it cause Liu Cong's displeasure and the disgust of Jingzhou soldiers?

Liu Zhang's worry is that Zhao Yun will lose to Zhang Ren, and Liu Cong and the Jingzhou soldiers will not be able to step down at that time, from this point of view, Zhang Songhe Xu Jing's reminder seems to be correct. So then Liu Zhang also stood up: smiled at Zhang Ren: "That General Zhang ......"

Now Zhang Ren is embarrassed, if it is just Zhang Song, Zhang Ren can ignore it, but with Xu Jing, it is different, now that Liu Zhang has also spoken, he insists on competing with Zhao Yun again, it will definitely cause everyone's disgust, but if it ends here, what if Zhao Yun sneaks up on Liu Zhang?

The current problem is that Zhang Ren is just guessing, worried that this is a Hongmen banquet but there is no direct evidence, and the person who made Zhao Yun dance the gun is not Liu Cong is Zhang Song, Zhang Song is from Yizhou. The main venue of this banquet is Liu Zhang, and Liu Cong is just a guest. Without definite evidence, saying it rashly will only make Liu Zhang think that he is obsessed.

Zhao Yun on the field is also looking forward to Zhang Ren's early departure, facing this senior brother who rarely meets, no matter what, Zhao Yun can't get off the killer, with Zhang Ren here, Zhao Yun can't get close to Liu Zhang at all, let alone assassinate. He saw Zhang Song, Xu Jing, and Liu Zhang express their positions one after another, and thought to himself that you should go down now.

Just when the two sides stopped, Liu Cong stood up, he really couldn't stand it anymore, obviously Zhang Song, Zhao Yun and others made him very unhappy, but he still held back the anger in his heart and said: "The two generals have worked hard, let's go down and rest." My brother and I rarely see each other, and we have to get drunk today! ”

Liu Cong's statement was expected by Zhang Song and Zhao Yun, but Zhang Ren was stunned, obviously he didn't think that Liu Cong didn't know about the gun dance at today's banquet. Originally, Liu Zhang wanted to persuade himself to go down, but Zhao Yun had a great opportunity. Why did Liu Cong let Zhao Yun go down to rest at this time?

Isn't it for the sake of assassination? Seeing Liu Cong's very calm appearance, Zhang Ren was confused. Seeing Zhao Yun stupidly pick up the gun and go down, Zhang Ren walked out, he didn't have the heart to stay and drink with Liu Cong. No matter what the purpose of Zhang Song and the others was, Zhang Ren's only one purpose was to ensure Liu Zhang's safety, and after he went out, he immediately sent additional guards to the vicinity.

The banquet, which was originally very harmonious, became a little embarrassing because of Zhao Yun's dancing gun and Zhang Ren's appearance, and no matter how stupid people are, they will inevitably want to be a little crooked. And Liu Cong's attitude made Liu Zhang very embarrassed, he thought that it was Zhang Ren's recklessness that put Liu Cong in a dangerous situation. During the banquet, he apologized to Liu Cong again and again.

Liu Cong was already weak-hearted, seeing Liu Zhang so benevolent, he felt that his decision was correct, although Liu Zhang was cowardly, but the current situation was that Yizhou was quite stable, and Liu Zhang's benevolence could just win some respect, such as Xu Jing and the representatives of the wealthy families here.

In the end, after Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren took positions one after another, the atmosphere returned to the same as before. After the banquet, it was time to discuss the joint resistance to Cao Cao and the crusade against Zhang Lu. The result of the discussion was that Liu Cong led his army into Mengyu Pass, and had the right to mobilize and command the troops of Yang Huai and Gao Pei stationed here.

In order to ensure that Liu Zhang believed that he was helping the war, Liu Cong proposed to let Yizhou engage in Fazheng and serve as the commander of Mengyu County. Although Fa Zheng is not a loyal minister of Yizhou, he is still a native of Yizhou, and Liu Zhang agreed to this proposal when he saw Liu Cong's insistence. In this way, Fa Zheng justifiably stayed by Liu Cong's side and assisted Liu Cong.

After the banquet, Zhang Ren immediately reminded Liu Zhang to beware of Liu Cong and even Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, Liu Zhang laughed, thinking that Zhang Ren was too sensitive, in his opinion, if Liu Congxiang misbehaved to him, he would not first stop Zhao Yun from dancing at the banquet today, and then let Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren go down together.

And Zhang Song and Fa Zheng were also very anxious to find Liu Cong to complain, saying that the great opportunity should not be given up. The old generals Zhao Yun and Pang Tong of Jingzhou did not participate anymore, because they understood that once Liu Cong decided, he could not change it, and he would only be trained at this time.

Zhang Song and Fa Zheng have special identities, Liu Cong will not be angry, but Pang Tong is a military advisor with the army, and being denied means that it is a bad idea. For Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, Liu Cong can only comfort and persuade the two to pay attention to secrecy, and not to expose themselves too early so as not to harm their families, especially Zhang Song, who will lurk by Liu Zhang's side for a long time in the future.

Liu Cong even advised Zhang Song not to hide letters at home, and to go to the Jingzhou Espionage Division's stronghold in Chengdu if he had something. Liu Cong is also worried about the safety of Zhang Song and his family. If Liu Zhang discovers the abnormality, not only Zhang Song will be exposed, but his true purpose will also be exposed in front of the people of Yizhou, although sooner or later there will be that day, but obviously now is not the right time.

What made Liu Cong happy to arrive was Fa Zheng's accompaniment, but the two generals sent by Liu Zhang to him were not very worry-free, although Yang Huai and Gao Pei were not as stubborn as Zhang Ren, they participated in the welcome banquet. But it can be seen from the attitude of the two during the banquet that at least the two are not Xu Jing's generation, and if Liu Zhang orders the two of them to attack him, they will definitely not be ambiguous.

Fortunately, Jiamengguan is far away from Chengdu, and Liu Cong has a lot of time to inspire the two and the 20,000 soldiers under his command, and winning for middle and lower-level officers is Liu Cong's forte. Of course, these are all afterthoughts, when I arrived in Yizhou, the next thing is the infiltration of Jinyiwei and the Espionage Department, and the intelligence work of these two departments must keep up.

After the separation of Luo County, Liu Zhang took Zhang Ren, Zhang Song and others back, and then summoned the existence and actions of Liu Cong and others in various counties to provide logistical preparations for Liu Cong to prepare for the attack. Liu Cong was also the first to send a message to Shangyong and Jingzhou to arrive safely. The next thing Liu Cong has to consider is how to open up the channel between Mengyu and Shangyong. Guling County must be fought for, and it is best to be able to influence and rebel!
