Zhang Song was actively lobbying Liu Zhang, hoping to send him to the front line of the Sword Pavilion.

"Lord, my subordinates are willing to go to the Sword Pavilion and move Chen Xu with a three-foot tongue and make him retreat."

Zhang Song looks ugly and describes obscenity, because Liu Zhang has never been very kind to see him. If it weren't for the attendant saying that he had been waiting for more than two hours, and it was the time to employ people, Liu Zhang would never have seen him.

"Are you going to persuade Chen Xu to quit the army?" Liu Zhang's face softened slightly, "Chen Xu did not hesitate to spend soldiers, horses, money and food, and personally led the army to come from afar, obviously he is determined to win our Yizhou, how can you say that he will be moved?" ā€

Zhang Song actually didn't want to see Liu Zhang, but now that martial law was imposed in various parts of Yizhou, he couldn't get out of Chengdu without Liu Zhang's warrant, let alone go to the Sword Pavilion to secretly meet Chen Xu. As a last resort, he asked to see Liu Zhang and wanted to get Liu Zhang's warrant.

"The lord saw that Chen Xu's army was coming from afar, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were eyeing him in the rear. If it goes well, it will naturally not be easy to retreat. However, the Sword Pavilion was guarded by two generals, Huang Quan and Pang Xi, and it was not easy to capture it.

The lord might as well order someone to take a walk, saying that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were ready to unite and attack Chang'an together. When Chen Xu couldn't attack for a long time, and rumors spread, his subordinates would definitely be able to persuade Chen Xu to withdraw from the army with his three-inch tongue. ā€

Liu Zhang listened to Zhang Song's strategy and felt that it was very feasible. So he immediately agreed, and wrote a warrant to Zhang Song, asking him to go to the front line of the Sword Pavilion as soon as possible to persuade Chen Xu to withdraw from the army.

Zhang Song took the warrant and came out of Liu Zhang's mansion and couldn't help but shake his head.

His set of rhetoric to Liu Zhang, as long as he analyzes it a little, you can know that there are too many flaws in it, and it is almost impossible to succeed.

For Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, who controlled the land of the four states, was the great enemy. Even if he takes this opportunity to attack Chang'an and other places, he will not unite with Yuan Shao and sit back and watch his power expand again.

What's more, news had been received before that Zhang Lu had contacted Cao Cao and asked him to attack Chang'an. What the final result is, Yizhou has not received any definite information. The only thing that is certain is that there was no turmoil in Chen Xu's rear.

Obviously, Cao Cao either failed in his attack on Chang'an, or he did not attack Chang'an at all. Chen Xu's rear has always been as stable as Mount Tai, how could he easily withdraw his troops because he heard some rumors?

The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy.

Since Liu Zhang doesn't appreciate himself and lets his talents have nowhere to play, instead of being dusty under him, it is better to take refuge in a master with a mind, courage and courage as soon as possible.

After Zhang Song studied the princes of the world for a long time, he finally locked on Chen Xu and Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was far away in Xuchang, and he had Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and many other strategists. He rashly went to take refuge, not to mention that he had no qualifications to advance, and he might look bleak in Cao Cao's dazzling strategist group.

On the other hand, Chen Xu has outstanding personal ability, and there are many generals under him who can fight habitually, but he lacks top strategists. Although Chen Gong is good, his reaction always seems to be slow, and his ability to improvise is too weak to deal with emergencies.

As for Zhong Xuan, what he is best at handling government affairs and diplomacy is not counted among the strategists.

Zhang Song has a very clear positioning for himself, he wants to give full play to his wisdom and become a top strategist and military advisor. Therefore, he finally gave up on Cao Cao and chose Chen Xu, who lacked top strategists, as his future allegiance.

……

Longzhong Grass House.

As soon as Zhuge Liang sent Xu Shu away, he ushered in another guest, Pang Tong, who was known as the "phoenix chick".

"Shi Yuan, haven't you traveled the world? When did you come back? ā€

"Haha, I just came back. I really didn't expect that something big would happen in Jingzhou soon. ā€

Pang Tong walked into the house and saw the cups that had not yet had time to be put away.

"Hey, it looks like I'm a step late, and someone has already informed you?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and put away the cups on the desk, "It's Xu Yuanzhi who is here, and he wants me to assist Liu Bei." They are so aggressive in co-opting forces that they should soon take action. ā€

As a top strategist, what Xu Shu can think of, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong can naturally think of. Combined with the analysis of the information they received, they soon learned of Liu Bei's plan to capture Xiangyang in the near future.

Pang Tong asked curiously, "Since Xu Shu came to woo you, why didn't you agree?" I think his plan is good, and there is a great possibility of capturing Xiangyang. ā€

Zhuge Liang sighed, "I also know that this plan is very good, with the help of Yuan Zhi, Liu Bei will definitely be able to capture Xiangyang." It's just that I really don't agree with this kind of practice of grabbing land by favors. ā€

Pang Tong smiled: "You are hypocritical, right?" I knew that this plan was the simplest and most successful for Liu Bei, but because it didn't conform to my own moral concepts, I didn't want to agree with it, didn't I? ā€

In Pang Tongtong's words, this is exactly where Zhuge Liang contradicts, and it is also the reason why he did not agree to Xu Shu's wooing.

It is undeniable that Zhuge Liang also has such a plan in his heart.

Feelings, values, and morals aside, he very much agreed with the plan to seize Xiangyang, then occupy Jingzhou, and gradually seize the world.

However, he is not a person without feelings, without values and morals.

In his heart, planning is a plan, just a means to show his talents, and it does not mean that he agrees with this approach. He doesn't want the future lord to be a person who is ungrateful and repays virtue with resentment.

Zhuge Liang didn't want to talk about this matter, so he changed the topic and asked: "Shiyuan, you went to the Central Plains for a while, but you found the master in your heart?" ā€

Pang Tong didn't answer directly, but turned around and said: "Our Lumen Academy recently accepted a new junior disciple, who is from Chang'an, and his father is the current Chang'an Ling Zhong Xuan. ā€

Zhuge Liang's heart moved, "So, Pang Degong is optimistic about Chang'an and is ready to bet on Chen Xu?" ā€

"What bet is not betting, it's just a disciple, what's the fuss?" Pang Tong continued: "Chang'an is indeed a good place, the politics are clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ā€

"Huh? In this way, Shi Yuan has a good impression of Chen Xu and wants to defect to him? ā€

"Alas, alas, I haven't met him yet. When I arrived in Chang'an, he was ready to go to Hanzhong. Take Chang'an, Dingxi Liang, take Hanzhong, and then Yizhou, Chen Xu is indeed a generation of heroes. ā€

Obviously, Pang Tong has a very good impression of Chen Xu.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, the heroes rose in all directions, the princes stood side by side, Chen Xu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Quan, and the rising Liu Bei, war between them was inevitable. When will the world of this great man really return to peace?
