Jingzhou, Jiangling.

In the lobby, Cao Cao was watching dance and music with the left and right civil and military forces, brushing his beard, very happy. From time to time, he pointed out and discussed with the group.

During the viewing room, Cao Cao nodded in admiration and asked, "Zhongmou, how is Wu Yue's singing and dancing compared to Jing Chu?" ”

Sitting on the seat, a young handsome man with a long upper and lower short, said with a smile: "Prime Minister Qi, Wu Yue woman has a bewitching figure, and she is more amorous than Chu girl. ”

"Really?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and joked to the left and right: "Huo Zhongmiao entered Jiangdong and took Erqiao as a concubine, which may prove Zhongmou's words." ”

Sun Quan's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, but he quickly disappeared, and said with a smile: "The prime minister is invincible in the world, and no one can stop the world." If the river is broken, the prime minister may be interested, and he can go to call Huo Jun's wife Bu Shi to see it. ”

"Huh?"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly, but said disapprovingly: "What is Huo Jun's wife good at, so that Gu can see it." ”

Sun Quan bowed his head and arched his hand and said: "The prime minister doesn't know, Wu Yue people say that Xi Shi sinks fish, Zhaojun falls geese, Diao Chan closes the moon, and Bu Ji is ashamed of flowers." Among them, Bu Ji is Huo Jun's wife, and she married into the mansion because of her beauty. ”

Cao Cao was interested, but he couldn't show his dark side, so he just laughed silently.

Seeing this, Sun Quan lowered his head and took a sip of wine, with a grim smile on the corner of his mouth.

He was defeated by Huo Jun and Liu Bei, plotting to seize the foundation of Jiangdong, and was sent to Xiangyang, where he was imprisoned by Liu Biao for several years.

Fortunately, he had a chance to take revenge, that is, the great Han Prime Minister Cao Cao was able to enter Xiangyang, and he, as the former lord of Jiangzuo, was reused by Cao Cao and named the general of Zhendong, thus replacing Liu Qi's official position. And because of his extraordinary views and moderate words, he was appreciated by Cao Cao and allowed to fight with the army.

After a while, the envoy stepped inside, and bowed his hand and said: "Qi Yu Prime Minister, Yizhou Liu Zhang sent an envoy to ask for a meeting!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao was not interested, and complained: "The lonely saddle horse has been working for a long time, and it is rare to have fun with the princes, but Liu Zhang's child came to spoil the fun." ”

Cheng Yu put down the wine bottle and arched his hand and said: "Prime Minister, the grain and grass in Jiangling were burned by Guan Yu, and there is a shortage of baggage today, so Liu Zhang may be able to order someone to send it." And Liu Zhang's heart has been attached to the prime minister for a long time, and now he has come from thousands of miles, if he doesn't see it, he will hurt the hearts of the Shu people. ”

"That's it!"

Cao Cao threw the towel of Liu Zhang's letter on the table and said, "Who is coming?" ”

"Prime Minister Qiyu, Zhang Song, the younger brother of the former envoy Zhang Su, is also!" The squire replied.

Hearing that he was canonized by himself as the younger brother of Zhang Su, the Taishou of Guanghan, Cao Cao also rose to the starting point and said: "And the messenger will meet you!" ”

"No!"

In the middle of the ring, a person with a short stature and a good face walked into the hall and said in a loud voice: "Zhang Song, the envoy of Yizhou, has met the prime minister and seen the princes. ”

Cao Cao squinted and saw that Zhang Song's image was not good, and he was different from his brother Zhang Su, he was unhappy in his heart, and asked: "I have been alone in Jing Chu for a long time, why is it too late for Yizhou to come." ”

Zhang Songsi was difficult to show his talent, and wanted Cao Cao to know his usefulness, so he said: "Prime Minister Qiyu, Jingnan is not safe, Liu Bei is still here, and Liu Qi is based in Jiangdong." Loose fear soldiers, dare not come early. ”

Cao Cao put down the wine bottle, snorted coldly, and said, "Erliu Danxi is dying, what is there to worry about?" ”

After a pause, Cao Cao was careless and said: "The road to Shu is rugged, and it is hard to work from afar. What is the terroir of Yizhou today? ”

Zhang Song sat on the couch and arched his hand and said: "There is Bashu, with a territory of thousands of miles and a mouth of millions of people. The road has the danger of the Jinjiang River, and the land is connected with the male of Zitong. Chickens and dogs bark at each other, and the market is constantly buzzing. The river surrounds the city, the fields are fertile, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, the people have no worries about water and drought, and the products produced are unreachable in the world! ”

"It seems that Yizhou can be a lonely granary!"

Cao Cao took another sip of wine and said with a smile: "Today, I am lonely in Jingchu, and there is a shortage of baggage, and let your lord send millions of grain for my male soldiers to eat." ”

Zhang Song saw that his kindness was let down by Cao Cao, and seeing that Cao Cao was so arrogant, he was dissatisfied, and said with a sneer: "Prime Minister doesn't think that Liu Hu can be broken if he has enough food? ”

Cao Cao, who had already drunk water, was now complacent, how could Zhang Song be so presumptuous, and his face sank instantly.

"Bold!"

Yang Xiu, the chief bookkeeper, scolded loudly and said: "Who are you, living in a corner of the western land, how do you know the prime minister's strategy?" ”

Zhang Song looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Song is a soldier of the Western Soil, what the soldiers have learned, and everything in the world can be known by Song." ”

Cao Cao drank alone and was silent, Yang Xiu knew what he meant, so he said: "The prime minister fought in the south and the north, and no one could stop him wherever he went." Today, there is a book of soldiers, which is the treasure of the world, and you dare to know the soldiers, and let you watch it, so that you can be convinced. ”

As he spoke, Yang Xiu asked his attendants to take Cao Cao's book of war to Zhang Song.

Zhang Song never forgets it, has a good memory, and it is also strange to read Cao Cao's military book. But in order to show his ability, Zhang Song said with a smile: "The Prime Minister's book of war, except for the soldiers in the world, Song can already recite it." ”

"Huh?"

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Zhang Song stroked his beard, shook his head and recited: "The former grandson said: The major affairs of the country of soldiers, the place of death and life, and the way of survival. …… The cover is impermanent, the water is impermanent, and the ground changes, and it cannot be passed on first...... Those who are proud of their enemies will be defeated, and those who win will be dishonored......"

Everyone present was amazed by Zhang Songzhi's memory, and he could recite it after just browsing the book.

"Boom!"

Cao Cao replayed the wine bottle on the case, interrupted Zhang Song's recitation, and said with a sneer: "I can't forget it, it's really amazing." However, the affairs of the soldiers, how can it be known by those who dance and write ink. Alone against Dong Zhuo, capturing Lu Bu, defeating Yuan Shao, dying of high cadres, beheading Dun, and descending Liu Cong, it is not something that people with small skills such as you can know. ”

Zhang Song was depressed in his heart, seeing that Cao Cao didn't know his good intentions, so he replied politely: "Although the small skills are poor, I remember the battle of Xu Rong in the Bianshui War, when Puyang attacked Lu Bu, Wancheng was on the day of Zhang Xiu. ”

"Bold!"

Cao Cao raised his hand, signaled Xu Chu to retreat, got up and said with a sneer: "In the battle of Bianshui, the princes of Guandong were timid and incompetent, and it was not enough for a big thing; Puyang suffered a small setback, and then Lu Feng was first captured and killed by Lone; Although Wancheng was defeated, he was lonely and generous, and he had to surrender Zhang Xiu and Wenhe. ”

"How can you be the little envoy of the West Earth who knows the above reasons? Stand down now, let your lord send troops to the army, or the soldiers will be added! ”

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Zhang Song bowed his head and sighed in his heart.

Liu Zhang was weak, and it was difficult for him to show his talents, so he thought that Cao Cao was encompassing and appreciating his talents, so he took the opportunity to enter the map. After returning to Yizhou, he and his brother Zhang Su persuaded Liu Zhang to surrender and helped Cao Cao destroy the second Liu. Now Cao Cao has just gone down to Jing Chu, and the second Liu has not been destroyed, so he is so arrogant. Sheyi Prefecture is a granary, and he is not willing to win himself over at all.

After Zhang Song left, Yang Xiu persuaded him: "Prime Minister Enwei is invincible, Liu Zhangsi has been descending for a long time, Zhang Song is here for him, and it is unforgettable, it is better to stay under the Prime Minister's account and win over the Sergeant of Shu." ”

Cao Cao waved his sleeves and sat down, and said unhappily: "It is enough to have Zhang Song's brother Zhang Su, a mere Shu sergeant, although he has the ability to never forget, but what is the benefit to the militar? ”

Sun Quan also admired Zhang Song and persuaded: "Prime Minister, although Zhang Song's ability to remember is small, he is an envoy from Shuzhong, and he is courteous. When the public wins Huo Liu, he may be able to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender for the public. ”

Cao Cao groaned slightly, but he waved his hand and said, "Surrender Liu Zhang, you should rely on soldiers, how can you rely on such a person." ”

"Yizhou has Nanzhong, what counties does it have?" Cao Cao asked.

"Prime Minister Qiyu, there are five counties in the south, including Yuewang, Yizhou, Yongchang, and Zhuti."

Cao Cao immediately chose a county and asked, "What counties are there under the rule of Yue Net?" ”

"There is Su Shi......"

Yang Xiu didn't speak, but Cao Cao interrupted and said: "Zhang Song came thousands of miles away, and worshiped him as the commander of Sushi County of Yuewang County. ”

"This~"

Yang Xiu was very surprised, and said: "Su Xi of Yuewang County is a wild place in the south. ”

"Huh?"

Cao Cao squinted at Yang Xiu and questioned, "Could it be?" ”

Yang Xiudun knew Cao Cao's intentions, and Cao Cao asked the dignified Yizhou to serve as the barbarian county commander, which was to express his dissatisfaction in disguise.

"No!" Yang Xiu bowed his head and answered.

Cao Cao stood up and asked, "What news does Jiang Zuo have?" ”

"Prime Minister Qiqi, according to Jiang Zuo's letter, Liu Qi appointed Huo Jun as a general, and did his best to help Xiakou with Jiang Zuo's troops." The squire said.

Cao Cao sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Huo Jun is so bold and dares to fight me with a few soldiers." ”

Saying that, Cao Cao looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The generals listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"The order, with Zhao Yan as the Taishou of Zhangling, concurrently serves as the governor of the army, and supervises Yu Ban, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Zhu Ling, Li Dian, Lu Zhao, Feng Kai and other seven people, go to Sui County, and attack Xiakou from the north."

"No!"

"Where is Cao Ren?"

"The last general!"

"The lonely cousin of heaven worships you as the Taishou of Nanjun, stays in Jiangling, caresses Jingnan, and supervises the transportation of grain and grass."

"No!"

"The rest of the generals, go out with Gu, defeat Huo Jun, destroy Erliu, and take Jiangzuo."

"No!" The people answered.
