Yizhou is the land of abundance.

It is the largest state in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a large population and rich people.

Liu Yan, the former Yizhou pastor, landed in Yizhou and sent Zhang Lu to entrench himself in Hanzhong, so that he could kill the Han envoys and cut off the traffic.

At the same time, the situation in Yizhou is somewhat similar to that in Jingzhou. All of them are far away from the center, and the local clan is strong, and Liu Yan, as an outsider, is naturally not welcomed.

In order to achieve the goal of controlling Yizhou, Liu Yan promoted a group of talents who migrated to Yizhou from other places to fight against the local tyrants in Yizhou, and these people were called the Dongzhou faction.

Such as Li Yan, Wu Yi and others, are the backbone of it.

When Liu Yan was still alive, the Dongzhou faction and the local scholars of Yizhou checked and balanced each other, making his rule quite stable.

But when Liu Yan died of illness and Liu Zhang took over as pastor of Yizhou, the situation was different. Liu Zhang, who was weak and weak, was unable to reconcile the contradictions between the Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction.

Although he didn't tear his face directly, it made the Dongzhou faction feel more dissent. On the occasion of Liu Bei's attack on Shu, he surrendered one after another, if it weren't for this, how could Liu Bei succeed so easily?

At this moment, in the city of Chengdu.

In a mansion.

There are two people sitting here.

One of them, short in stature, and not good-looking, is today's Yizhou don't drive, Zhang Song's character is Qiao.

Zhang Song looked at the person beside him and said with a sigh:

"Today's Jingzhou Mu Liu Qi is really very human, he actually rejected Cao Cao in the north and broke Sun Quan in the east, and now Jingyang and the two states are all in his pocket, I am afraid it won't be long, and Jiaozhou should be the same."

By Zhang Song's side is his close friend Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng was originally a native of Yongzhou, and after the war, he moved to Yizhou. It's a pity that Liu Zhang doesn't have the ability to use people, and now he is only a school captain, and he often has the heart to meet talents.

Speaking of Jingzhou, Fa Zheng sighed:

"This matter is indeed surprising, at the beginning, everyone in the world said that Liu Qi was a mediocre person, only a good woman, and now look at it, when everyone is speechless, how dare you despise it?

Now that Liu Qi occupies the two states of Jingyang, even if Cao Cao raises troops again, he has no intention of winning. This person has been dormant for many years, immovable, and now he is only emerging as a hero.

It's a pity that I'm in Yizhou, otherwise I would have gone to Jingzhou to play. ”

Hearing Fa Zheng's words, Zhang Song looked at Fa Zheng meaningfully, and then said with a smile:

"It's good that you are filial and upright, but you are vague in my words. Now that Liu Qi has annexed Sun Quan, how can he ignore Yizhou, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will send troops here. ”

Fa Zheng stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Ziqiao's words are wrong, now Jingzhou Fangping Jiangdong, even if you want to seize Yizhou, it will not be ten days. Besides, Yizhou has natural risk prevention, how easy is it to win Yizhou? ”

The two are friends.

Zhang Song's thoughts on Fa Zheng couldn't be clearer.

Now he is no longer playing pantomimes, saying:

"Liu Qi is powerful, it is a matter of time before he captures Yizhou, this person is the hero, and he will definitely go north to fight with Cao Cao in the future, if the Han family is revived, will you and I not be meritorious ministers?

Today, Liu Zhang is weak, although he occupies more than ten counties in Yizhou, he has no enterprising heart, and he will definitely become a fish on the board. If Liu Qi doesn't take it today, it will be in Cao Cao's pocket in the future.

Why don't you and I try to lead Liu Qi into Yizhou, dedicate the land of Yizhou, filial piety, and your great talent is also useful. ”

The two looked at each other and did not speak again.

But they all understand each other's thoughts.

In any case, they are now the ministers of Yizhou.

As an outsider, Fa Zheng still has a lot of scruples in his heart, but Zhang Songdu has already had a showdown, of course he will not hide it, and after a short period of silence, he finally said:

What Ziqiao said is extremely true. Now there are not a few people in Yizhou who are dissatisfied with Liu Zhang, as long as the Jingzhou army attacks, how can they fight the enemy with Liu Zhang, and then the big thing can be decided. ”

Looking at Fazheng, Zhang Song nodded and said:

"Yes, I have drawn a map of Yizhou, but Bao Xiaozhi sent an envoy to Jingzhou, and dedicated this map to Liu Jingzhou, how about filial piety?"

Fa Zheng's eyes flashed, and it could be judged from this map that Zhang Song had already intended to benefit the state. It's just that the previous target may not be Liu Qi, but with Liu Qi sweeping Jiangdong, the situation has been

Warp is different.

The rising Jingzhou is not weaker than Cao Cao.

It's all been paved to this, and it's not an indecisive person anyway, so he said in a deep voice:

"This matter should be as my brother wants, but if I go to Jingzhou, I can make Mencius go with me."

Mencius Jing is Meng Da, and later changed the word Zidu.

Zhang Song nodded and said:

"There is no need, when the time comes, I will say to Liu Zhang, now Liu Bei borrowed the troops of Yizhou to capture Hanzhong, lost his troops, consumed a lot of grain and grass, but did not gain anything.

You can ask Jingzhou Mu Liu Qi to form an alliance with Yizhou and send troops to solve Zhang Lu's trouble, when the time comes, the north and the south will be opposite, and there will be no fear of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and Yizhou will be able to sit back and relax.

When Fa Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said:

"What Ziqiao said is extremely true."

Chengdu Mansion.

Liu Zhang's subordinates gathered here.

Liu Zhang is also a little troubled these days.

Originally, he thought that with the help of Liu Bei's fierce generals, he could solve the problem of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong as soon as possible.

But Liu Zhang never expected that Liu Bei had just sent out his troops, and he was deflated one after another. Although he has now reached Dingjun Mountain, he is only confronting Cao Jun, and it has not had the expected effect at all.

For Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu is his confidant.

Right now.

Don't drive Zhang Song out of the queue and say:

"Lord Qiyu, now Liu Bei leads my Yizhou soldiers to confront Cao Jun in Dingjun Mountain. This war consumed a lot of grain and grass, but it did not achieve results, so it must be taken into consideration. ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, this was exactly what he was worried about, and he couldn't wait to ask:

"Zi Qiao, don't you have another countermeasure?"

Zhang Song arched his hand at the moment:

"Although Liu Bei has fierce generals under his command, but now Cao Cao has sent troops, it is not the same. The lord must know that Cao Cao is a thief, and he has the heart to swallow the world.

Now sending troops to aid Zhang Lu actually has the intention of benefiting the state. If you don't take precautions in advance, when Cao Cao's army comes, it will be too late for the lord to regret it, and it will be difficult to preserve the land of Yizhou. ”

Hearing this, Liu Zhang's face suddenly changed, and he said in a panic:

"Please also ask Ziqiao to teach me."

Zhang Song said slowly:

"I don't know if the lord can hear about the current Jingzhou Mu, the rebellious general, and the Marquis of Xiangyang, Liu Qi."

Liu Zhang nodded suspiciously.

Then, Zhang Song continued:

"Now that Liu Jingzhou has broken Jiangdong, his momentum is like a rainbow, and even Cao Cao does not dare to attack south. And Liu Jingzhou and the lord are both relatives of the Han family and brothers.

Why not send someone to form an alliance with Liu Jingzhou, order him to send troops to defeat Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and then seize the land of Zhang Lu and Hanzhong.

At that time, the lord will sit firmly in Yizhou, and he will be worry-free! ”

Liu Zhang, who was a little dazed, showed a look of surprise on his face after listening to Zhang Song's description:

"What Ziqiao said really made me stunned."

However, some of the ministers came out and said:

"My lord, by all means."
