After several months, Zhang Song, accompanied by Huang Jin and Falin, rushed to the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau at the beginning of winter. Here, Zhang Song was received by Liu Bei with a high standard. First, Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and other civil and military officers out of the city to greet them, and then set up a banquet to entertain them. Compared with the beatings and insults he received in Xuchang, Zhang Song seemed to be in heaven. At the banquet, Zhang Song scolded Cao Cao and shouted that he wanted to crusade against the national thieves. Looking at Zhang Song at this time, Xu Shu, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help laughing. Xu Shu has been back in charge of the good foal under Zhuge Liang's repeated courtesy, and he has received a report from the dark line in Xuchang that Zhang Song is very miserable in Xuchang. Zhuge Liang sent someone to ask Zhang Song to come to the public security halfway, because Zhuge Liang knew the existence of the topographic map of Xishu.

The so-called good foal is an intelligence agency established by Xu Shu when he was under Liu Bei's command. absorbed many sects on the rivers and lakes, including the Shushan faction, and assassinated Cao Shuang in Chang'an to be a good horse. After the care of Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, the good foals have spread all over the world and are extremely hidden.

The treatment of VIPs made Zhang Song very happy. After getting along with Liu Bei for a while, Zhang Song was deeply impressed by Liu Bei. Under the guidance of Zhuge Liang, Zhang Song presented the topographic map of Western Shu and made an appointment with Liu Bei to serve as an internal response when Liu Bei entered Shu on the other day. Liu Bei was very happy and treated Zhang Song even more politely.

"Zhang Song finally found his Bole." Cao Shuang wrapped the blanket around his body and put the tea in his hand, "Continue to monitor Zhang Song, and report any situation in time." ”

"No! It's just a bit of a hassle. "For Cao Shuang's order, Nameless didn't hesitate to come, but today Nameless was a little hesitant.

Cao Shuang was very puzzled, and his tone was full of understanding, "What's the trouble?"

Nameless simply said his difficulties, "According to the news from Jingzhou, Liu Bei has a group of people under his command, named 'Good Pony'. They have the same responsibilities as night detectives and bad guys, and night detectives have fought with them a few times, and their strength is not bad. It's a bit difficult to get close to Zhang Song now. ”

"Uh-huh, so are the people who assassinated me this good foal?" Cao Shuang expressed his understanding and asked thoughtfully.

"The people of the Shushan faction are involved, it should be them." Nameless replied in the affirmative.

Cao Shuang nodded, "Do your best, and don't relax your precautions against good foals!" ”

On the surface, Cao Shuang didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of sages and sages, but in fact, if there was anything going on outside, Cao Shuang could know it in the first time. With Cao Cao's support, paper books began to be released. As soon as it was released, it caused a sensation, and students from poor families expressed their support, while most of the opposition voices came from the family. The reputation is mixed, but this will not affect the distribution and use of paper books, although the family is opposed, but also began to use, after all, compared to bamboo slips, cloth, this paper book is more convenient. Jia Wan made a lot of money from it, and the benefits were more than ten times that of white paper.

In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, there was no major movement in the entire Han Dynasty. Cao Cao took Liu Ye's advice and recuperated. Sun Quan and Liu Bei rectified internal affairs and trained soldiers and horses; The various forces in Xiliang are also very peaceful, and the forces of all parties are fierce, waiting for an opportunity to stir up the storm.

"Zhang Song sees the lord, Song lives up to the lord's expectations, and has united Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang." Zhang Song saluted to Zhang Song, who was sitting on the throne, "Uncle Liu Huang is the lord of the clan, and he is kind and kind; It also occupies most of Jingzhou, with extraordinary strength, connected to Shudi, and dependent on each other. Once the lord has something to do, the emperor will definitely help. ”

Listening to Zhang Song's words, Liu Zhang, who was sitting on the main seat, was a little displeased, but his smile quickly replaced his displeasure, "Don't drive hard, go back to your home to rest for the time being, and set up a banquet for Don't Drive tonight." ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Song saluted again, and then withdrew. After a long time away from home, it's time to go back and see.

"Lord, don't unite with Liu Bei." The person who spoke was dressed as a military general, with a tall figure, towering sword eyebrows, and two bright eyes. This person is the pillar stone of Xishu - Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren was the number one military leader in Western Shu, and many generals seconded it.

"Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, and Sun Quan was bound to win Jingzhou. An alliance with Liu Bei is bound to offend Sun Quan. "It turned out that the king was tired, and many ministers seconded it. In the queue of Wenchen, Fa Zheng looked at his nose, nose and mouth, and mouth and heart, and did not say anything, and the officials of the Fazheng department saw that Fa Zheng was like this, and they all kept silent.

Seeing that his subordinates were divided into two factions, Liu Zhang touched the little jade pendant in his hand, smiled slightly, pressed down with both hands, and signaled everyone to stop arguing.

This is Liu Zhang's consistent style, and the good man began to make peace with the mud. There will be differences in some major policies, but not in Liu Zhang's case. When there is a disagreement, the dispute is set aside and dragged on until a consensus is reached. Liu Zhang cleared his throat and said, "Don't argue, everyone, this matter will be discussed later!" ”

Listening to Liu Zhang's words, Fa Zheng smiled slightly, he had long known that this was the result. A trace of disappointment flashed on Huang Quan's face, and the same expression also flashed on the faces of many Wenchen. Zhang and the other generals had long been accustomed to it, and withdrew from the chamber.

After a cadre of civil and military officers withdrew from the conference hall, Liu Zhang's face suddenly changed, and his right hand clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, "Zhang Yongnianan dares to bully me!" I don't treat him well, this white-eyed wolf! A few days ago, an anonymous letter was placed on Liu Zhang's desk, although I don't know who sent it, when he read the content of the letter, Liu Zhang was furious.

This letter was sent by Cao Shuang's night spies from Yizhou, and the letter described how Zhang Song was driven out of Xuchang and how he was received by Liu Bei, saying that Zhang Song had already taken refuge in Liu Bei and betrayed Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang already believed a little about the content of the letter, and with the words that Zhang Song said in the council hall today, Liu Zhang was convinced of Zhang Song's betrayal.

And in Xuchang, thousands of miles away, Cao Shuang has already lifted the grounding. On this day, Cao Shuang and Cao Fu Bayou rode out of the city to play. Along the way, there was talk and laughter, and the atmosphere was harmonious, adding a touch of warmth to the spring when the ice and snow melted. In addition to Li Cong, the old man of the Medicine King Valley also went out with his grandson and Cao Shuang.

Seeing his grandson and everyone having fun, the old man also showed a kind smile on his face, sat on the horse's back, and slowly walked forward with the horse's bumps.

"Let's race the horses and see who gets to the hillside ahead." The competitive Li Jue pointed to the hillside in front of him with a horsewhip in his hand and proposed.

Several of them were young and frivolous, and no one was willing to admit it, so they agreed to participate in the war. The old man came to a tree and pointed, "Start here, let the old man be a referee for everyone!" ”

"Okay, thank you so much, old man." Cao Shuang's legs tightly clamped the horse's belly and hugged his fist towards the old man.

The old man nodded, smiling slightly in response. I saw the old man raise the horsewhip in his hand and shouted, "Begin!" ”

The voice was full of energy, which shook everyone's eardrums, Cao Shuang and the others were secretly frightened, the old man was really not simple.
