Chapter 52: The Wisher Takes the Bait

Fa Zheng was very happy, and finally coaxed and frightened Zhang Song to his side, although he didn't care when he told Zhang Song, but only Fa Zheng knew in his heart that it was really not easy to find a helper like Zhang Song with brains, ambitions and a certain status and influence in Shu.

More importantly, Zhang Song's compromise can be said to be a benchmark, the family is not monolithic, when Lu Bu grows step by step, some families who are not satisfied in the family circle will begin to fall to Lu Bu's side, which was expected by Lu Bu and Jia Xu at the beginning, but how to measure this standard? Zhang Song is a good example, it is foreseeable that when Lu Bu successfully won Shuzhong, as a role model, Zhang Song, Lu Bu will not only fulfill his promise, but also be biased towards Zhang Song on many issues.

There are so many real big families, and the remaining small wealthy families and small families are not satisfactory in the family circle, after having such an example as Zhang Song, it is equivalent to the so-called blockade of Lu Bu in the family circle by Lu Bu to pry open a gap, once this opening is opened, it means that this not strong circle is also opened.

Then the next step is much simpler, after signing Zhang Song's deed of sale, Fa Zheng calmly used Zhang's Mansion as a secret stronghold for intelligence gathering, Lu Bu sent a team of nighthawks to accompany him when Fa Zheng came, responsible for protecting Fa Zheng at the same time, but also responsible for contacting the nightingale to collect intelligence.

Instead of immediately starting to contact the Wei Yan army in Hanzhong to plan Shuzhong as Zhang Song imagined, Fa Zheng taught Zhang Song to stand in line, give up Liu Zhang, and then move closer to the side of the family.

"Filial piety, why do you have to do this?" Although Zhang Song did so, and he found that integrating into the family circle was far easier than gaining Liu Zhang's trust, because Zhang Song's own identity was actually enough.

"In the words of the lord, it's a matter of perspective." Fa Zheng sorted out the information and explained with a smile: "Or to save the country, since Liu Zhang doesn't value you, then he stands in the middle of the group of people who make him pay attention, people's hearts are so strange, they are too easy to get, and they won't cherish it, but when you leave him and show your worth, you don't need to beg him, he will naturally come and beg you to go back in a low voice, and during this period, we can also get more resources from the family to prepare for the future." ”

"I'm not talking about that." Zhang Song shook his head, although he was reluctant, but his mind was very good, after Fa Zheng pointed out this path for him, Zhang Song saw the doorway clearly, frowned and said: "Since the lord intends to attack Shuzhong, now that the interior should be complete, why not attack directly?" At least within a year, Chengdu can be launched. ”

"The lord wants Yizhou, but he doesn't just want land, he also wants people's hearts." Fa Zheng said with a smile: "This is more important than the earth, otherwise, even if Chengdu is captured, it will take a lot of time to govern, and it is not difficult to break through Chengdu, but to govern this country of abundance, it is conservatively estimated that it will take five years or even longer, the lord is determined to be in the world, and naturally he can't waste too much energy in Shu, so we have to force Liu Zhang to turn against the family, only if Shuzhong himself is in chaos, and the lord enters Sichuan, the resistance will be reduced, and the promotion of the law will be much easier." ”

"Heh, Cao, Liu and Sun's three major princes alliance, Liu Zhang also agreed to send troops to Hanzhong, Xiaozhi is so sure that the lord will win?" Zhang Song said a little unpleasantly.

The three major princes joined forces, not to mention a million army, but there must be 500,000, plus if Lu Bu did not plan to take Yizhou immediately, the strength of Hanzhong would definitely be contained, at least in terms of strength, Lu Bu did not have any advantage.

"The days when victory and defeat were measured by military strength are over." As for Zhang Song's question, Fa Zheng didn't want to explain anything, among the five main forces, the three battalions of Zhuri, Tiger Roar, and White Horse were pure cavalry troops, with an establishment of 10,000, while Pang De's shooting battalion was mainly infantry, with an establishment of 20,000, and as for the hussar battalion of the majestic sea, it was Lu Bu's Praetorian Guard, and the establishment was not even 3,000, but no matter which of these five soldiers and horses, even in the face of twice the enemy, they could often destroy the enemy without damage, which was almost unimaginable five years ago.

From this point of view, the Shu plane is a bit sitting in the well, and it is not easy to explain, because the most elite hussar battalion under Lu Bu is now equipped with a single crossbow range of nearly four hundred steps, and it is five consecutive shots, and the other four main force of the crossbow is also an improved three-shot crossbow, and the range is also more than two hundred steps, like the crossbow used by Zhang Liao when he fought Xiahou Yuan in Jizhou, in fact, it is something that the main force has eliminated, and in that way, it can completely suppress the main force of the Cao army.

"And that's going to have to wait until they actually join forces." Fa Zheng thought of something, and couldn't help but sneer.

Zhang Song glanced at Fa Zheng, although he didn't understand, but he didn't delve into it, there were some confidential things, Fa Zheng obviously didn't tell him what he meant, but he didn't know, the secrets he thought about were no longer a secret in the Central Plains, but Fa Zheng didn't bother to explain to him.

"In recent days, Ziqiao can wait for an opportunity to arrange the people on the list, no need for high-ranking officials, as long as they have real power, even if they are school captains or even protégés." Fa Zheng handed a list to Zhang Songdao.

"Mengda? Zhang Yi? Zhang Song glanced at the list, some he knew, and some he had never heard of.

"My own people." Seeing Zhang Song looking at him suspiciously, Fa Zheng explained lightly.

Zhang Song glanced at it again, these people all had their current identities behind them, some of them were still soldiers, but some of them were already county commanders or official positions such as military marquis and Sima in the army.

Lu Bu's infiltration of Yizhou has been so deep!?

Glancing at Fa Zheng deeply, Zhang Song was a little cold, Fa Zheng had said before that Lu Bu didn't put all his energy into Shuzhong, if there were so many people under the other princes...... No, these are just what Fa Zheng showed himself, after these people, whether there are other more important positions that have been secretly infiltrated by Lu Bu, Zhang Song doesn't know at all.

If there are really so many people behind the important matter, even if the three major princes are in alliance, I am afraid it will be difficult to join forces and work together to fight Lu Bu.

For a while, Zhang Song seemed to understand why Fa Zheng was so confident, but he frowned and said, "I'm a soft-spoken person now, how can Liu Zhang listen to me?" ”

"Don't worry, Liu Zhang will come to you by himself soon." Fa Zheng smiled.

Compared with Fazheng's confidence, Liu Zhang has been a little bad in the past few days.

Originally, Zhang Song was noisy in his ears every day, which was very annoying, but now Zhang Song no longer admonished him, but began to get close to those big families, which made Liu Zhang suddenly feel a sense of isolation.

Zhang Song is ugly, and his family affairs are not very good, and he has never been valued by Liu Zhang, and even feels that such a person is a bit of an eyesore by his side, but when Zhang Song really left, Liu Zhang was a little panicked, because he suddenly found that there was no one available around him.

Maybe it's Zhang Song's matter that makes other people loyal to Liu Zhang a little chilled, in short, Liu Zhang is a little lonely now, and then he asks Zhang Song to come back, he can't save that face, but if he doesn't ask for it, now when he discusses things every day, no one fights for Liu Zhang's reasoning, Zhang Ren is good, but a military general rarely speaks out in the court, and Zhang Ren is also preparing to go to Hanzhong these days.

Every time he looked at Zhang Song, who was silent, did not say a word or supported the family's decision, Liu Zhang felt a little inexplicably aggrieved, especially during this period of time, Zhang Song's status on the family's side had obviously improved a lot.

Finally ended the day's discussion of politics, Liu Zhang didn't have the heart to deal with government affairs, Zhang Song used to be able to handle these things well, and gave himself a lot of opinions, now...... Zhang Song has been promoted to another driver under the recommendation of the family, and the new Zhizhong is not as capable as Zhang Song.

"Lord, don't drive Zhang Song over just now, and let the villain hand over this letter to you." The steward of the state governor's mansion came over and handed a letter to Liu Zhang.

"Zhang Song?" When Liu Zhang heard this, he was a little annoyed in his heart, the letter was made of Chang'an paper, which was very expensive, was this a kind of show-off?

With a cold snort, Liu Zhang still opened the letter, and his brows gradually wrinkled as he walked.

The letter roughly means that although I am loyal to the family, I am actually loyal to you, and the reason why I entered the family circle is also to find out the news, and these news made Liu Zhang's face even more ugly.

Zhang Song did not use any radical words, but just reported some data obtained from the family to Liu Zhang one by one.

Now in addition to Lu Bu, the taxes under the rule of the major princes are still mainly agricultural taxes, and Zhang Song's information is also based on agricultural taxes as an example, listed out, now a family in Shuzhong within a year, can beat ten stones of grain, among the ten stones, six stones are used to pay rent, and then the remaining four stones, half of them are handed over to the government as taxes, and among these two stones, the family will also account for a large part.

Of course, the annual output of a household is naturally more than ten stones, just so that Liu Zhang can understand, Zhang Song specially uses ten stones to lift, followed by the actual data.

The most important thing is that most of these people are tenants of the family, so in fact, the loyalty to the family is much higher than the support for Liu Zhang, if Liu Zhang wants to no longer be controlled by the family, he must start in this regard and snatch these people from the hands of the family.

How to rob, Zhang Song didn't say, but Liu Zhang knew that Lu Bu relied on this method to make a fortune step by step, and finally became the first prince in the world, whether the princes admit it or not, today's Lu Bu occupies the two major grain producing areas of Guanzhong and Jizhou, except for a slight shortage of population, in other aspects, any one can crush any of today's princes.

Liu Zhang quickly burned the letter, his face was ugly, he didn't know whether to listen to Zhang Song, but Lu Bu's strength, he saw it in his eyes, as a monarch, even if he didn't have the ambition to sweep the Eight Desolations, but he definitely didn't want to be set aside, since this method was proposed by Zhang Song, then there must be a backhand, and he said in a deep voice: "Prepare the car, go to Zhang Song's mansion."
