Chapter 254: Painstaking
Liu Zhang heard that Liu Qi pacified Bazhong and eliminated the trouble of the two confidants, and was holding a banquet with the officials to celebrate, discussing how to change back to Bazhong to protect Yizhou.
Zhang Song proposed to exchange Jiangzhou for Bazhong, so as not to let him go to ask for land and toss back and forth, but Huang Quan and others strongly opposed it.
Wang Ti offered advice, Liu Qi was lustful and greedy for money, it was best to exchange money, food and beauties for land, Hanzhong has been lost, and Jiangzhou must no longer let Liu Qi control it.
was arguing endlessly, and suddenly an urgent report came, Li Yi, in order to fight for merit, raised troops to attack Hanchang, was killed by Zhang Fei, took advantage of the situation to kill Langzhong, and forced Pang Xi to surrender.
Liu Zhang gritted his teeth and scolded: "Li Yi's dog thief, who has been arrogant for many years, has caused such a catastrophe. ”
Wang Ti said worriedly: "This must be Liu Qi's trick, he has long had the intention of trying to Brazil, and wants to control Bajun and peek into my Shuzhong." ”
Liu Zhang asked: "Pang Junshou was captured, how to rescue him?" ”
Huang Quan sighed: "The lord doesn't have to worry about Pang Gong, I'm worried that Liu Qi will make a big fuss and take the opportunity to send troops." ”
"This ...... Not necessarily, right? Liu Zhang was stunned and said: "I am the same sect as Liu Qi, and it is Li Yi's action to raise troops and make trouble, and he has won the city again, which is enough to vent his anger, it's a big deal...... I'll give him Brazil County as well. ”
Huang Quan frowned and said: "Liu Qi is as good as he can, there is no danger to defend in Shu, and he will never give up, the lord must take precautions as soon as possible, and send more troops and horses to various key roads, just in case." ”
Liu Zhang didn't think so, and instructed Zhang Song: "Please don't drive to Langzhong again, give Jiangzhou to him, and return to Pang Xi, and the two of us will lead Bashu together, and shake hands and make peace." ”
He wanted to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender, but he couldn't help it, Liu Qi told him in advance that when he arrived in Chengdu, he could only secretly add fuel to the fire, not to anger Liu Zhang, and not to exchange letters, so as not to harm himself.
At this time, he was anxious to know the situation in the army, so he gladly accepted the order, completed the official document and printed the ribbon, and prepared to leave the next day.
When he returned home, a confidant sent a secret letter, Zhang Song breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, and sneered: "Ignorant people who don't know the times deserve to die!" ”
The next day, he went to Liu Zhang's house to get a letter, and when he saw that Huang Quan and Wang Lei were there again, he must have persuaded Liu Zhang not to cut the land.
Zhang Song didn't urge, just waited for Liu Zhang to write a letter, and suddenly probed the Malay newspaper that Yan Yan attacked Zhang Fei's grain and grass in Dianjiang, but was captured by Zhang He's department and lost Dianjiang.
Liu Zhang was so shocked that the pen in his hand fell to the ground: "What...... How so? ”
Zhang Song sneered: "Yan Yan didn't let Zhang Fei's men and horses enter the city before, he must have a grudge, and he deliberately did so, this move angered Jingzhou and caused a catastrophe!" ”
Wang Lei hurriedly said: "Although General Yan is impatient and upright, he will never do such a stupid thing, but I am afraid that it is Liu Qi's trick again." ”
Liu Zhang's face changed miserably, and he said dejectedly: "In this way, Liu Qi wants to take away my foundation, what can I do?" ”
Zhang Song sighed: "It's just Zhang Lu, we are helpless, and now Pang Gong is captured, who can be his leader?" As...... It is better to quickly send an envoy to make amends, and cut the land to seek peace. ”
Liu Zhang said helplessly: "Badi has been given up, how can there be any room?" How about adding some money, food, and beautiful women? ”
Zhang Song shook his head and said: "Liu Qi came to help the war, but he was killed by the generals, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to eliminate his hatred for money, so he could only cut Guanghan or Qianwei ......."
Before the words fell, Wang Lei scolded sharply: "Don't drive Zhang, your move is to help the fire, what is the difference between it and the seller seeking glory?" ”
Zhang Song raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wang Lei, and said lightly: "If Wang Cheng has a good plan, why not go to Langzhong and say that Liu Qi will withdraw from the army?" ”
Wang Lei's face turned red, Zhang Song's words today are the same as the original cession of Jiangzhou, which seems reasonable, but in fact he is an enemy.
"Hmph, we are loyal to the Lord, there is only death, and we will never surrender!"
Zhang Song sneered: "You have no way to retreat from the enemy, you will only boast and boast of being loyal and good, but in fact you will cause trouble." Even if you are not afraid of death, it is really stupid to involve the lord and the officials, as well as the people of Shuzhong. ”
"You ...... you" The king was so tired that he scolded: "The thief who betrayed the lord is still so arrogant? ”
Zhang Song said disdainfully: "If you want to die, you will die, and Hugh will involve the lord." ”
Liu Zhang's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he sighed with his hand on his forehead: "How should this be?" ”
Huang Quan said: "Since Liu Qi entered Sichuan, he has been buying people's hearts everywhere, and his intentions are not good. I hope the lord will think twice. ”
Wang Ti was so anxious that he knelt on the ground and admonished bitterly, Zhang Song asked who could retreat from the enemy, and the two had no unscrupulous generals to recommend, and Liu Zhang hesitated.
At this time, a family general sent Pang Xi's letter, Liu Zhang hurriedly opened it, and said angrily: "Pang Tai Shou'an dares to do this? I didn't treat him lightly on weekdays, but I gave up my father's inheritance to others, how can it be reasonable! ”
He thought that Liu Qi would put forward some conditions and let Pang Xi be the intermediary, but he didn't want to persuade him to surrender and leave Yizhou.
It was just a matter of persuasion from others, but Pang Xi was a minister who entrusted Gu and was a member of his in-laws, so he took the lead in surrendering to Liu Qi, which made Liu Zhang feel the crisis of betrayal and separation, and he was filled with grief and indignation.
Huang Quan took the opportunity to persuade: "Liu Qi's wolf's ambition is obvious, without further ado, send people to gallop through the various passes as soon as possible, add troops to guard the Sword Pavilion and Jiangyang important places, and do not let Jingzhou soldiers enter." ”
Liu Zhang looked at the half-written letter and looked at Zhang Song: "Don't drive, what's your opinion?" ”
Zhang Song sighed: "Pang Taishou has surrendered, and it is useless to talk about peace again, so the lord and the public will quickly gather civil and military affairs, and send people who can fight to go everywhere to protect Xichuan." ”
"Uh......" Liu Zhang was stunned, and was a little disappointed: "No other way?" ”
Zhang Song got up and hugged his fists and said: "Everyone scolds me Zhang Song for luring the wolf into the room, betraying the Lord for glory, how do you know that I am full of sincerity, just for this big Han country?" I took great pains, mediated in every possible way, and tried my best to match the lord and Liu Qi to join forces, to destroy the usurpation as soon as possible, and to correct the court, so as to live up to the hope of the deep palace of the Son of Heaven. ”
Liu Zhang said helplessly: "But Liu Qi is aggressive and wants to take away my foundation, who can relieve my worries?" ”
"You can't have both fish and bear's paws, since the two of you are going to fight, you should prepare early, and your subordinates will immediately prepare money and food!" Zhang Song said goodbye, shook his head and sighed when he went out: "It's a pity that the fight with the same clan will only make Cao thief happy, the Son of Heaven will be in trouble, and the day of King Qin is far away!" ”
Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Song's back, silent for a long time, in fact, deep down, he vaguely expected Zhang Song to persuade him to surrender, and he now urgently needed someone to help him make up his mind.
Huang Quan and Wang Lei were also stunned, Zhang Song suddenly changed his attitude, and went all out to fight, and the righteous words just now made them feel a little ashamed.
Wang Ti hurriedly said: "Lord, saving soldiers is like fighting a fire, Liu Qi is coming, don't hesitate any longer, and quickly send all the civil and military forces to come and discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy." ”
"Yes...... right" Liu Zhang came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered: "Decree to open the mansion!" ”
Huang Quan walked out of the mansion silently, he was in a trance, Zhang Song obviously hinted at Liu Zhang's surrender several times yesterday, but he seemed to be a different person overnight, did he really see him wrong before?
