Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao has captured more than ten counties north of Wancheng, including Luyang, Yexian, Duyang, Pheasant, Bowang, and Western Hubei, and it seems that he wants to gradually encroach on the northern part of Nanyang, but I heard that there have been signs of troops and horses in Luoyang recently. ”

"Luoyang?"

Luo Zheng frowned and said, "Could it be that Li Dao still wants to take advantage of the fire to rob again?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, Luoyang's official road to Nanyang has been blocked by Cao's army, and if Li Wei sends troops, he can only plunder Cao Cao." However, the Tiger Prison Pass was Cao Cao's stronghold, and Li Dao could not get out of the Tiger Prison Pass, and Liu Biao hid in Wancheng, not daring to go north to meet Cao Cao's army, thinking that Liu Biao was very likely to invite Li Dao to send troops to retreat Cao's army. ”

Luo Zheng touched his beard and thought for a long time before he said: "There is also this possibility, but the geographical location of Nanyang is important, and Wancheng is the hub of the Central Plains from Jingzhou to the north. ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "That's right, if it weren't for Xichuan, this would be a good opportunity, you can take advantage of the situation in the name of Liu Biao to send troops to Nanyang, and if you can wait for the opportunity to capture Wancheng, you can attack Xuchang from Nanyang to the north." ”

Luo Zheng thought for a while and said: "Although Nanyang is good, it is the land of four wars, if our army takes Nanyang, it will be under the attack of Cao Cao and Liu Biao on both sides, and a city is lonely, even if it is heavily garrisoned, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be lost." ”

Jia Xu was silent, the geographical disadvantage really cannot be changed.

Luo Zheng said again: "Wen He thinks that Xichuan's matter has a certain chance of success? ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment before he said, "Seventy percent is possible!" Zhang Song's ability to come to Chang'an shows that the local scholars in Xichuan have turned their backs on Liu Zhang, but they may still have scruples about whether to take refuge in the lord. If the master had not killed the scholars on a large scale, but had taken the scholars as the foundation of the great cause, the local scholars of Xichuan would not hesitate and would have welcomed the lord into Sichuan. ”

Luo Zheng said: "It seems that the reputation is not good. It's really difficult! If Cao Cao is replaced, I'm afraid that the local scholars of Xichuan will not be so hesitant, right? Fortunately, Cao Apu is in the Central Plains. ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "The only people bordering Xichuan are the lord and Liu Biao, and the local scholars of Xichuan want to take refuge." can only choose the lord and Liu Biao. However, Liu Biao is just a dog, and he is not much better than Liu Zhang. If the Xichuan clan wants to find a prince who can compete in the world, there is only the lord, and there will be news in this matter for more than a month. ”

Late at night, the study room of the inner courtyard of Zitong County.

"Brother Gongju, Brother Wenyi!"

Zhang Song hurriedly entered the inner hall and bowed his hand to Fei Shi and Wang Lian, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Ziqiao, please take a seat!"

Wang hurriedly invited Zhang Song into the case and sat down, and couldn't wait to ask, "How is this trip to Chang'an?" ”

Zhang Song sorted out his thoughts before he said: "Wenyi is brother is asking Luo Zheng this person." Or something else? ”

Wang Liandao: "How is Luo Zheng? ”

Zhang Song said angrily: "The talent is strategic, and the immortal hero is also a hero!" ”

Wang Lian and Fei Shi were both moved, and the latter said: "Ziqiao has the ability to know people, and he can be evaluated by Ziqiao, so Luo Zheng has the possibility of achieving great things, and it is worth taking refuge in us." ”

Zhang Song said solemnly: "This person started from a humble background, but he can build an immortal career in troubled times, which is indeed not easy. What I saw when I went to Chang'an this time is all eye-catching, and Luo Zheng is not only eloquent. Under the account, it is even more civil and military, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Fa Zheng, etc. are all talents of the country. And the people of Guanzhong are rich, and they can live and work in peace and contentment. The government treasury has sufficient money and food, the armor is strong, and Luo Zheng has implemented changes under his rule, reformed the military system, and has the tendency of strengthening Qin and swallowing the six countries. And Guanzhong is easy to have geographical advantages, you can enter and exit the Hangu Pass to chase the Central Plains, and you can retreat according to the Xiongguan and guard. The foundation of hegemony has been formed. ”

Wang Lian said: "Ziqiao, let's talk about whether my Xichuan clan can join Luo Zheng, even if Luo Zheng can become a hegemon." But if we don't protect the interests of our Xichuan clan, we must not lead wolves into the house. ”

Fei Shi also nodded and said, "Not bad." This is the right principle. ”

Zhang Song said: "Luo Zheng has promised not to implement the new policy Xichuan under his rule, and we will wait for the Xichuan clan to govern Sichuan." But if we want to get out of Xichuan as an official, it will not be so easy, Luo Zheng said it very clearly, it depends on how we choose. ”

"This ......"

Wang Lian stroked his willow beard and was silent.

Fei Shi muttered: "This is also expected, Luo Zheng can promise to let me and other Sichuan people govern Sichuan, and it is enough not to implement the new policy of Guanzhong in Xichuan." But I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? ”

Zhang Song nodded and said: "Yes, under Luo Zheng's rule, the gate valve is not allowed to raise a large number of private soldiers, occupy a large amount of land, and the politics of salt and iron and support for merchants and cheap craftsmen are not implemented in Xichuan, but the military power is not in this case, even if Luo Zheng is willing to use my Xichuan general, he must be readjusted, otherwise how can Luo Zheng control Xichuan, and who will do it if he changes." ”

Wang Lian said: "This person is cruel and cunning, can you believe what he says?" ”

When Zhang Song heard this, he knew Wang Lian's intentions and said, "Brother Wenyi, is there a letter?" ”

Wang Lian said unhappily: "We have a way to seek for the Xichuan clan, how can we be suspicious." ”

Zhang Song nodded and said: "From the bottom of the view, although Luo Zheng is arbitrary and kills, he is also true to his word, not as unbearable as rumored." Everyone wants to do the thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but this has to pay a price, if Luo Zheng wants to chase the Central Plains to become a hegemon, he will not let Xichuan be in chaos, so it is not possible for Luo Zheng to cross the river and demolish the bridge. ”

Fei Shi agreed: "Luo Zheng has the heart to chase the deer, so he should be able to take care of the overall situation, and agree with Ziqiao's opinion." ”

Wang Lian thought for a long time before he said: "That's it, since that's the case, then ask Ziqiao to go to Chang'an again and discuss some specific matters with Luo Zheng, so as not to make it clear in advance, so that he will be treacherous afterwards and regret it too late." ”

Zhang Song said: "Brother Wenyi, rest assured, this matter will be handed over to the next, if Luo Zheng is willing to agree, he will present a hand-drawn geographical map of Xichuan as a gift, if he does not agree, he will find an opportunity to get out and remind the King of Shu to beware of Luo Zheng." ”

Fei Shi said happily: "With Zi Qiao's ability, even if Luo Zheng hides treachery, he can't hide Zi Qiao's eyes!" ”

"It's nature!"

Zhang Song is extremely complacent, and being able to read people's hearts is one of his skills.

Changan.

Fa Zheng hurriedly entered the inner hall and bowed his hand to Luo Zheng: "Lord, Zhang Song is here." ”

Luo Zheng put down the brush and said, "But the Xichuan clan has made a decision?" ”

Fa Zheng said: "Zhang Song said that he would negotiate some more details with the lord, if the lord can agree to some requests from the Xichuan clan. He presented a hand-painted map of Nishikawa to help the lord's army enter Sichuan. ”

Luo Zheng suddenly perked up and said, "Let him in." ”

"Yes!"

The law is in order. Rushed out.

Luo Zheng thought about it, and shouted outside the hall: "Someone." ”

"What does the lord command?"

There were pro-soldiers who responded to the call. Stand under the hall.

Luo Zheng said: "Hurry up and invite Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Cheng Ying and others to come." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers shouted in response, turned and retreated.

Not long after, Fa Zheng led Zhang Songjin to come first, and Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Cheng Ying and others also arrived one after another, and started negotiations and bargaining on how to protect the interests of the local scholars in Xichuan after Luo Zheng entered Sichuan.

Of course, these are just some of the big ones.

As for the specific details, we have to wait for Luo Zheng to enter Xichuan. Then discuss the dirty things.

After Luo Zheng set some general directions, he quickly left the study and handed over the rest to Jia Xu and others, he was not suitable to be present at this time, and if he didn't leave, he would only let Jia Xu and others be restrained.

The general direction has been set, and the specific things are left to Jia Xu and others.

Let professional people do professional things, so that they can be efficient.

Jia Xu and the others kept Zhang Song secret for three whole days, and finally finalized the direction of some big needles.

After Luo Zheng received the report, he immediately held a large banquet and set up a banquet with Zhang Song.

Zhang Song is still quite satisfied. When the feast was over, he put a painting on the rails and said with a smile: "This is a hand-drawn geographical map of Xichuan." Specially dedicated to the lord to help the lord army of the lord of the main river. ”

"Good, good!"

Luo Zheng took the map, immediately ordered his soldiers to hang up, and got up to watch.

Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Fa Zheng and others looked at each other and smiled, this Zhang Song even dared to call it, and the overall situation was decided.

Zhang Song walked to the screen, pointed to the location of Chengdu on the map, and said, "Lord, please see, enter Sichuan from Hanzhong." There are two major roads to take, one is to go south from the Sword Pavilion. Pass through Jiameng Pass, enter the Xichuan Plain through Zitong. Straight to Chengdu, the second is from the south of Xicheng to the territory of Ba County, over the Bashan around to the rear of Chengdu, but these two roads are official roads, both have heavy troops stationed in Guancheng, although the sword pavilion guard general Ling Bao General is my Xichuan famous general, has long served the heart of the lord, but Jia Meng will guard Liu Bi is Liu Zhang's henchman. If you go to Ba County, you need to pass through Langzhong, and the Langzhong guard is also Zhao Wei's party, so the two roads are not passable. ”

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Where did the general enter Sichuan?" ”

"Here!"

Zhang Song patted the Guanghan area and said: "Song has traveled all over Xichuan in the past, and found that there is a small road in Guanghan, which is mostly walked by woodcutters and hunters. ”

"Yin Ping Xiaodao?"

Luo Zheng was somewhat impressed, but he didn't remember it completely.

After a closer look, I found that there was a small road in Guanghan that reached the Chengdu Plain.

Jia Xu asked, "Who else knows about this path?" ”

Zhang Song said proudly: "Rest assured, this path is only known below, how can Liu Zhang, Pang Xi, Zhao Wei and other Sichuan thieves know the geography of Xichuan, the lord only needs to punish a partial division, and he can be killed outside Chengdu." ”

Luo Zheng praised: "Ziqiao is really a caring person, this Xichuan geographical map is really a priceless treasure!" ”

Zhang Song hurriedly said a few words modestly, but there was nothing uneasy in his heart.

Jia Xu said: "With this trail, Chengdu can be broken!" The lord can order the army to assemble in Hanzhong and make a big noise, so that Liu Zhang will mobilize heavy troops to assemble in the area of Jiange and Langzhong to resist our army, and the strength of the army will naturally be empty. At that time, the lord only needs to punish a partial division and kill directly from the Yinping Trail to Chengdu, then Xichuan can be determined. ”

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "What if you can't raid Chengdu?" ”

Zhang Song said: "Don't worry, my lord, we have all arrangements, and we can welcome the army into the city at that time." ”

Luo Zheng said happily: "That's good, Ziqiao can stay in the army for the time being to serve as the general's military staff!" ”

Zhang Song bowed his hand and said: "Obey the order!" (To be continued) R580
