Zhang Song stayed in Liu Yong's camp for two days, and then went to Jiangzhou City to see Yan Yan. As for the requirements for Liu Yong that she had mentioned to Liu Zhang before, he had already thought about it for Liu Yong. Ask for the land east of Xuanhan, Dianjiang and Jiangzhou, that is, the three counties of Shudong, which he had promised to cede before, plus compensation for the loss of people and horses who forced him into a desperate situation in the mountains of northern Sichuan.

Zhang Song entered the city to see Yan Yan, he still has the title of Yizhou on his head, his status is not low, although Yan Yan is very disrespectful to him, he still can't be rude, especially when people come to understand the siege of Jiangzhou this time, they naturally have to be treated well.

Zhang Song and Yan Yan looked at each other and hated each other, and Zhang Song only stayed in the city for a day before leaving.

Yan Yan is a stubborn person, and he is very opposed to Liu Zhang's acceptance of Zhao Wei's promise to Liu Yong, but since Liu Zhang agreed, he can't say that it is wrong, but as a person of faith, after Zhang Song left, he wrote a letter overnight and sent his cronies to secretly evade the Jingzhou sentry and send them to Chengdu by water.

Zhang Song went out of Jiangzhou, naturally had to pass through Liu Yong's camp, Liu Yong was naturally a hospitality, although he couldn't do the kind of courtesy of "falling asleep", but the laughter experience in the workplace in later generations was slightly improved, which made Zhang Song more grateful to him, and he couldn't wait to tie Liu Zhang to Liu Yong immediately and surrender, and repeatedly expressed his loyalty openly and secretly.

Zhang Song wanted to go back to Chengdu to resume his life, Liu Yong reminded: "Ziqiao goes back to Chengdu, be careful, you and me, except for Fa Xiaozhi, you must not show half a word to others!" ”

Liu Yong could only remind him that if he still couldn't guard against his brother Zhang Su, it really deserved his short life.

Before Zhang Song returned to Chengdu, Liu Zhang had already received a secret letter from Yan Yan, learned the result of Zhang Song's mission, and invited people to discuss again, but this time it was in his study, saying that it was a study, which was actually one of the halls built by his father Liu Yan at that time, which was equivalent to the imperial study of the Han Emperor.

However, this time he only recruited three people, one was Wu Yi of the Yizhou clan, one was Liu Ba, and the other was Li Yan and Li Zhengfang, who were known for their talents and were serving as the county commander of Chengdu.

The three of them came, and after Liu Zhang circulated Yan Yan's secret letter to the three of them, he asked with a bundled face, "What do you think?" ”

Among the several people, Wu Yi, who is known as the general of the thief, has the highest status, so naturally he was the first to speak: "Yan Xibo is loyal to Yizhou, he will not deceive me, and what he said in his heart is credible!" It's just that I said in my heart that to cede the three counties of Shudong is equivalent to making Xichuan lose its barrier, but this matter cannot be agreed. ”

Li Yan also nodded and said, "Lord, General Wu is right, this matter is indeed unacceptable." If you lose Badong, Fuling and Bajun, it is equivalent to opening the gate of Xichuan to Liu Yong, he can attack my Yizhou at any time, Jingzhou is powerful, that is a defense! ”

In the end, Liu Ba also nodded and said: "What the two of you said is good, since the lord promised at the beginning, then Badong and Fuling will be ceded if they are ceded, but Ba County really can't be lost, can it be replaced by other compensation?" ”

The three of them were all talking about land, and as for the compensation for people and horses, they were automatically ignored. In their opinion, the compensation for the loss of people and horses is nothing more than Liu Yong's deliberate blackmail, and it is a big deal to compensate him with some money, food and other things.

Thinking of the money and grain, Li Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said: "Lord, since Ba County cannot be ceded, why not cede Fuling and Badong County, and Ba County will use money, grain and other property to compensate?" ”

Liu Zhang was immediately overjoyed, as long as Bajun is there and Jiangzhou is there, then the gate of Xichuan is there, as for the money and grain, he Liu Zhang can proudly say that if the princes who have the most grain storage today are not as many as him, this is not a problem at all.

The four of them had agreed and dispersed. Two days later, Zhang Song returned to Chengdu, and the situation was exactly the same as what Yan Yan said in his heart. Liu Zhang immediately decided to discuss the matter.

Liu Zhang raised the matter again at the meeting, and immediately the ministers discussed it, and after a while, Liu Ba came out and said: "Lord, the three counties of Shudong are very important, and they cannot be ceded all. But the lord has already promised Liu Yong, but he can't be ridiculed by the world because of this, it is better to promise Liu Yong to cede the two counties of Badong and Fuling, and then compensate Liu Yong with money, grain and property instead of Bajun, I don't know what the lord's will will be? ”

At this time, Li Yan also came out and said: "Lord, Yan thinks what Liu Zichu said is very good, and the minister seconded it!" ”

Liu Zhang asked the ministers again: "Do you have any other better way?" ”

Wu Yi stepped forward and said, "Lord, Yi thinks it's feasible!" ”

Wu Yi represents the great clan of Shuzhong, and his statement immediately represents the other scholars and clans in Shuzhong, and many people immediately echo it, and soon, everyone immediately praised the feasibility of this method.

Zhang Song never expected that this matter would be like this, without Ba County, Liu Yong would never give up attacking Jiangzhou, but his opposition was immediately used as evidence of a secret alliance with Liu Yong to slander him, although Zhang Song was clever and tongue-in-cheek, but he could not stop the persecution of the Manchu people.

Liu Zhang once again sent someone to decide to send someone to Jiangzhou to discuss with Liu Yong based on the results of the court meeting, but the candidate became Li Yan.

Li Yan came to Jiangzhou outside Liu Yong's camp, as a person who is familiar with military and political affairs, he was very impressed by Liu Yong's way of robbing the camp and his strength. When he finally saw Liu Yong after many inspections, Li Yan was really impressed, he had heard that Liu Yong was young, but he didn't expect to be so young. What shocked him even more was the sword hanging from Liu Yong's waist.

Since Liu Yong's Xuanyue knife was obtained by Sun Shangxiang, it was automatically confiscated and became a "gift" to her, so Liu Yong had no choice but to take the Zhanlu sword with him before the expedition.

Li Yan was convinced of the rumors of Zhan Lujian, and he even looked up to Liu Yong, and took the opportunity to ask for a closer look, and finally a string was plucked in his heart, and he knew what he was going to do.

Liu Yong promised to withdraw after ceding the three counties of Shudong, but during the discussion, after Li Yan proposed that Liu Zhang exchange money and grain for Ba County, Liu Yong immediately said angrily: "Is Liu Jiyu a three-year-old child?" ”

Liu Yong left angrily, all the civil and military officers looked at each other angrily, Li Yan didn't care, he expected that there would be a scene at this moment before he spoke.

At night, Li Yan quietly walked into Li Hui's tent, talked happily with two handfuls of wine, pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and was very happy. After three rounds of drinking, Li Yan suddenly sighed: "Brother De'ang, do you know the suffering of the younger brother?" ”

Li Hui hurriedly asked: "If there is any difficulty on the positive side, you might as well say it, and you should try your best to help." ”

Li Yan said gratefully: "Thank you, just because I am on an errand now, if I can't get General Liu to agree, Yan will definitely have no place to go back to Chengdu." ”

Li Hui secretly stared at Li Yan's eyes, sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, and continued: "This matter is difficult to do, after all, it was Liu Yizhou's fault first, and now there is nothing that can be done about it." ”

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Yan has a way to get the lord to increase the grain and grass to two million stones, can Brother De'ang give advice to General Liu?" ”

Li Hui said in a daze: "For Brother Deang, do your best!" His body shook and he fell to the ground drunk.

Seeing this, Li Yan got up and left alone, Li Hui got up, sneered, cleaned up briefly, changed into clothes, turned around and walked out of the camp tent towards Liu Yong's big tent.

On the second day, Li Yan saw Liu Yong again, and after Liu Yong was helpless, he agreed to come down, but the compensation for grain and grass became three million orders, and one grain could not be missing.
