However, it was said that Zhang Song listened to Yang Xiu's voice, knew that there was no intention of retaining it, and felt that it was boring, so he hurriedly packed up and went out of the city to return to Sichuan overnight.

Zhang Song thought about it all the way, and his heart was full of dumb hatred, and he kept hating Cao Cao: he wanted to dedicate Xichuan Prefecture to him, but who wanted to treat him so slowly. What's the big picture? What belly can hold up the boat? I can't listen to the advice of the contrary, and I can't distinguish the gold and jade. If I knew this was the case, please don't come. There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here.

When he arrived in Chengdu, Zhang Song thought to himself: he had boasted in front of Liu Zhang that he had gone to Haikou and went to Xudu, and he must have said that Cao Cao attacked Zhang Lu to solve the danger of Xichuan, but now he returned in vain, and he was not looked down upon by the people of Shu. It's better to discuss countermeasures with your friend Fa Zheng first, and then see Liu Zhang.

After Zhang Song had made up his mind, he secretly went to the Fazheng to discuss.

Fa Zheng, the word filial piety, a native of Fufeng County (now Xiaofayi Town, Meixian County, Shaanxi), the grandson of the famous Fa Zhen, and the son of the official Fa Yan.

Grandfather Fa Zhen, the word Gao Qing, a famous scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shaoming "Five Classics", and a general weft, learn impermanence, a famous talent, famous for the Qing Gao Zhi people in the world, often scarf to see Fufeng Taishou.

Fufeng Taishou asked him: "Although the mourning prince is not good, Yuchen Zhongni and Liu Xia Hui do not go to the state of their parents, and want to bend each other for merit, what is it?" ”

Fa Zhen said: "Because the Ming Mansion is polite, I only come to visit me from time to time." If I am called as an official of the Ming Mansion, then I will be in the north of the North Mountain and the south of the South Mountain! ”

Fufeng Taishou said that he would not dare to appoint him as a government official, and Fazhen got the name of Qinggao because of this.

Back then, when Fa Zhen was still in the weak crown, his father Fa Xiong served as the Taishou of Nanjun.

Once, he hiked to South County to wait for his father.

After the father and son met, Fa Zhen wanted to go back, and his father kept him to stay and wait a day before leaving, hoping that he would watch the gathering of the county officials.

Hundreds of people attended the meeting, and Fazhen watched through the window as the officials talked to his father.

After the meeting, my father asked Fa Zhen, "Look, who of these officials is the most virtuous?" ”

Fa Zhen replied: "Cao Peng Hu Guang has the amount of a minister. ”

Later, Hu Guang really served as the three princes of Jiuqing, and the world thought that Fazhen had the ability to understand people. After many expeditions, his friend Guo Zheng praised him and called him "Mr. Xuande". Fazhen Zhongping died in the fifth year at the age of eighty-nine.

Fa Zheng's father, Fa Yan, whose name is Jimou, was once Situ Peng and Tingwei Zuo Supervisor.

Although Fa Zheng was born into a family of famous bureaucrats, he believed that his grandfather was praised by the world as high and knowledgeable, but it was just an ethereal and meaningless aura of reputation. And unwilling to be a small official like his father who copied and copied for others and was called by others, thought that it was difficult to display his ability to foresee success or failure, plot and plan, and assist the Ming lord and get ahead, so he did not listen to the dissuasion of his family, and in the early years of Jian'an, he entered Shu with his friend Meng Da in the same county to attach himself to Liu Zhang.

Because Liu Zhang was not a good person in employing people, he was appointed as the county commander of Xindu for a long time, and then he was appointed as a military lieutenant.

Fa Zheng has a strategy, but he has no talent, and he is slandered by people in the state, and he is very distressed.

Zhang Song also felt that Liu Zhang was not a person who could achieve great things, and it was difficult for him to display his talents, and he lamented his own experience and often complained.

Because the two had common feelings, they became closer and closer, and they became friends.

Let's say that Zhang Song saw Fa Zheng, and said that Cao Cao could not be relied on, and the secret merchant dedicated Yizhou to Liu Bei.

At this time, Meng Da came to visit, and the three of them discussed it again.

The next day, Zhang Song moved Liu Zhang with clever words, and decided to welcome Liu Bei into Sichuan as a helper and resist Cao Cao and Zhang Lu.

Although there was the lord Bo Huangquan and Wang Ti and persuaded him, Liu Zhang did not listen, and immediately repaired a letter, ordered Fa Zheng to make peace, first went to Jingzhou to communicate with Liu Bei, and sent Meng Da to lead the troops to meet the troops into Sichuan, jointly resist Zhang Lu, and wrote to the counties along the way, prepare money and grain, for Liu Bei's military needs.

And he was ordered to bring the book to Jingzhou to meet Liu Bei.

Liu Bei read Liu Zhang's letter and set up a banquet to treat Fa Zheng.

Fa Zheng said: "Uncle Huang is a genius in the world, and Liu Zhang has no ability to understand the master. Uncle Huang should take Zhang Song as the internal response and seize Yizhou; With the wealth of Yizhou as the foundation, it is easy to achieve great things by virtue of the dangers of the land of abundance. ”

Liu Bei saw that what Fa Zheng said was slightly the same as what Zhuge Liang Longzhong said when he was right, they all said that if they wanted to take the world, they must occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou.

Liu Bei immediately discussed with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and decided that Zhuge Liang would guard Jingzhou, assign Guan Yu to guard the main road in Xiangyang, Zhang Fei to lead the four counties to patrol the river, and Zhao Yuntun Jiangling Town to guard the public security; Liu Bei personally led 50,000 Ma Bu troops to Pang Tong as the military division into Sichuan, Huang Zhong as the front, Wei Yan as the rear army, Liu Feng and Guan Ping with Liu Bei and Pang Tong in the middle.

Before leaving, Liao Hua led the army to surrender, and Liu Beijiao assisted Guan Yu in Xiangyang to prevent Cao Cao.

Liu Bei led the army to the west for several miles, and Meng Da led the army to meet him.

Liu Bei sent people to Chengdu and reported to Liu Zhang first.

Liu Zhang immediately ordered the preparation of a chariot with a curtain tent and a banner and armor, which must be clear and solemn to welcome Liu Bei into Sichuan.

Lord Bo Huangquan dissuaded again: "General Zuo Liu Xuande has a reputation for courage and ambition as a wolf, and now invite him to come to Shu, if he treats him with the courtesy of his subordinates, he will not be able to satisfy his desires; If you treat each other with the courtesy of guests, it is difficult for a mountain to accommodate two tigers, and a country cannot accommodate two monarchs. If Liu Bei relies on Jingzhou to seize Yizhou, it will be like Mount Tai is stable, and the master will be in danger of being tired. If the lord goes here, he will be harmed by Liu Bei. I have eaten Junlu for many years, and I can't bear the treachery of others in the lord, and I hope that the lord will think twice. ”

Zhang Song said: "Huang Quan's words are really destroying the trust of the royal family, alienating the righteousness of the clan, breeding the power of rebellion, and cooling the heart of loyalty, which is really not beneficial to the lord." ”

Wang Ti was dissuaded and did not listen before, but now he persuaded: "I heard that the king has a minister, the father has a son, and Huang Quan and Huang Gongheng's words of loyalty and righteousness must be obeyed." If the lord listens to Zhang Songzhi's words and welcomes Liu Bei into Sichuan, it is like luring a wolf into the house and welcoming a tiger into the door, he will bring disaster upon himself. ”

Zhang Song said: "The Chinese officials of Jinshu take care of their wives, sit and discuss, and no longer serve the lord; The generals are proud of their achievements, each has their own intentions, and has no intention of defending the Liu family. If you don't have the help of Uncle Liu Huang of the clan, the enemy will attack outside, the treachery will be inside, and the people will be against the opposition, which is the way to defeat! ”

Liu Zhang said: "What Zhang Ziqiao said is beneficial to me. I made a good alliance with Xuande, and I resisted Zhang Lu with the help of the power of the clan. ”

Wang Lei argued: "Zhang Lu's offense is a disease of ringworm and scabies; Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan is a big problem for his internal organs. Liu Bei is the hero of the world, a hypocrite with a good face and an evil heart. Cao Cao first, then think of murder; relied on Yuan Shao secondly, and betrayed with lies; vote for Liu Biao again and control Liu Qi; Later, from Sun Quan, he seized Jingzhou. The mind is like this, can An be together? ”

Zhang Song explained: "Uncle Liu Huang sent an edict to eradicate the usurpation for the Han family; Defecting from Yuan Shao and joining Liu Biao, supporting his son Liu Qi, and occupying Jingzhou, all in order to maintain the Liu clan. Today, the lord married the emperor's uncle and resisted Zhang Lu and Cao Cao, both to protect the interests of the clan. ”

Huang Quan shouted: "If you are summoned today, Xichuan will change hands!" ”

Liu Zhang shouted and said: "Xuande is my fellow sect, and Anken takes away my inheritance." I have made up my mind, and I will not talk nonsense again. ”

Huang Quan kowtowed and bled out, and then bit Liu Zhang's clothes with his mouth to persuade again.

Liu Zhang was furious, ripped off his clothes, and Huang Quan did not let go.

Liu Zhang drank the order to pull Huang Quan out left and right, and released him as the magistrate of Guanghan County.

Huang Quan refused to listen to the persuasion and returned crying.

Wang Ti then came and secretly discussed the strategy of advice.

Huang Quan said: "I have a relative in my entourage who went to Xu Du with Zhang Song, and he came back to sue me, 'Zhang Song painted a picture and wanted to offer Cao Cao as the foundation for glory. Later, when he saw Cao Cao's slow treatment, he ridiculed him with his words and was expelled to hold a grudge. After coming back, he didn't see the state pastor, so he first went to Fazheng's house to conspire, and then offered Uncle Liu Huang a strategy to enter Sichuan'. must have secretly communicated with Liu Bei and betrayed Xichuan. ”

Wang Lei said: "The lord listens to the words of the traitorous villain, and tomorrow I will persuade him to die." ”

Huang Quan said: "I am persuaded hard, that is, I will be released as the magistrate of Guanghan County." Zhang Su, the guard of Guanghan County, is Zhang Song's elder brother, who is quite righteous and has integrity. As a subordinate, I must inform Zhang Song of the conspiracy, move with affection, know the harm, and join forces with him to eliminate the traitor Anbang. ”

Wang Lei said: "If you can get rid of the thief and wake up the lord, you will be at peace with your death." The two of them have decided, and Wang Lei resigned.

Huang Quan hurriedly packed up, took only one confidant and the relative who had followed Zhang Song into Beijing, and went to Guanghan (now Guanghan, Sichuan) day and night to see Zhang Su.

Let's say that Liu Zhang saw the banner armor and the car and the curtain tent to be cleaned up, even if he went out of the city to Fucheng (now Mianyang, Sichuan) to meet Liu Bei. When he was about to go out of the city gate on horseback, he suddenly reported that the king was tired, and hung himself upside down on the city gate with a rope.

When Liu Zhang approached, he saw Wang Ti hanging upside down on the city gate, holding a seal in one hand and a sharp sword in the other, saying: "If you don't obey the advice, you will break the rope and fall to the ground." ”

After that, he threw away the admonition.

Liu Zhangjiao took the admonition and watched, and slightly clouded: "Yizhou is engaged in Wang Tired, and he cries blood and pleads: King Gu Chuhuai does not listen to Qu Yuan's words, and will ally in Wuguan and be trapped by Qin; In the past, He Jin did not listen to the advice and dissuasion, led Dong Zhuo into Beijing, and caused chaos in the imperial court; Now the lord's father-in-law left the capital and went to Fucheng to welcome Liu Bei, but I am afraid that there will be no return. If you can cut Zhang Song in the city and never make Liu Bei's appointment, then the old and young in Shu will be very lucky, and the main foundation will naturally be very lucky! ”

Liu Zhang saw it and couldn't help but be furious: "I met with the Xuande brothers, like kissing Zhilan." You have insulted me many times, provoked me in every possible way, and obstructed me in every way. Now they are threatening each other with death, and it is not a pity for such fanatics to die. ”

When Wang Ti heard this, he screamed, broke the rope, and fell to the ground.

Liu Zhang turned a blind eye and led 30,000 horses to escort more than 1,000 vehicles loaded with food, money, and silk to meet Liu Bei.

Liu Bei led the army from Jiangling to Fucheng, Liu Zhang led more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry, chariots and curtains, dazzling, to meet Liu Bei.

Liu Bei led the soldiers to greet them in turn, and everyone gathered for more than 100 days.

During this period, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng repeatedly persuaded Liu Bei to take the opportunity to murder Liu Zhang, in an attempt to capture Xichuan.

Liu Bei believes that when he first arrived in Shuzhong, his trust was not established, the time was not enough, and the speed was not reached.

Liu Zhang saw that Liu Bei was humble and benevolent, and treated himself like a brother, thinking that with Liu Bei's assistance, he was not afraid of Cao Cao and Zhang Lu. I thought: If it weren't for Zhang Song's advice, wouldn't he miss the opportunity for brothers to help each other? Then he took off the green robe he was wearing, and gave five hundred taels of gold, and let people return to Chengdu to reward Zhang Song.

Zhang Song saw that the great work was about to be completed, and the teacher told Liu Zhang to express his deep gratitude; Another secret letter sent to the Fazheng family.

Fa Zheng saw that Liu Bei had been indecisive for a long time, and said to Pang Tong: "Zhang Song has a secret book so far, saying that he has been prepared in Chengdu, and during the meeting between the two Liu in Fucheng, Xichuan will be at his fingertips, and the opportunity cannot be lost." ”

After the two had a secret discussion, Pang Tong taught Wei Yan to follow Xiang Zhuang's sword dance and assassinate Liu Zhang during the banquet of the second Liu.
