Chapter 117 Zhang Song, Fazheng

In the same year, September.

Yizhou, Shu County, Zhang Mansion.

Looking at the gold, silver and jewels in front of him, Zhang Song narrowed his small eyes, then looked at Yi Ji suspiciously, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Yi, what do you mean?"

"Hehe, my lord has always appreciated talented people, and when we were in Jingzhou, I thought about it a lot, so I specially ordered me to bring my lord a visit with mere gifts." Yi Ji smiled gently.

"Hehe, do you think of me?" Zhang Song sneered, then straightened his beard and said proudly: "Brother Yi, I'm afraid your lord is not simply admiring me?"

"I think he wants to covet this huge Yizhou, right?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Song shook his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Excuse me for being rude, come and see off the guests."

"Hey~ Zi Qiao, wait a minute." Yi Ji said hastily: "Zi Qiao, my lord has no intention of capturing Yizhou, but is just worried that your lord will join forces with Sun Ce of Yangzhou, so it will be difficult to capture Yangzhou, so I sent you here to pay a visit."

"Taking Yangzhou?" Zhang Song raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"Exactly! My lord has assembled a large army to attack Yangzhou, and he will definitely meet Sun Ce at that time. The precious lord is sitting in the land of Sichuan Prefecture, and has more than [-] troops. My lord is very worried."

"However, I heard that Ziqiao is Liu Shijun's right-hand man, and he obeys what Ziqiao says, so he sent me here to pay a visit, hoping that Ziqiao can help him a little bit."

After Yiji finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said sincerely.

"Hehe, your master played a good game of chess. He wants me to convince Liu Zhang that it is better to capture Yangzhou. After Yangzhou is settled down, I am afraid that he will go west along the river and capture Xichuan, right?"

Zhang Song stared at Yi Ji closely.

He said coldly again: "So, it doesn't seem to do me any good?"

"What Ziqiao said is different. Just imagine, if my lord can really capture Yangzhou, then my lord will sit in the south of the Yangtze River. How many people in the world will be able to compete with my lord?"

"At that time, Ziqiao can take advantage of the situation to return to my lord, dedicate Yizhou, and become a minister of the dragon. Similarly, if my lord fails, Ziqiao will have nothing to lose, right?"

Yiji said happily, with a hearty expression.

Zhang Song frowned, slightly pensive.

He had been under Liu Zhang for a while, and he did find that Liu Zhang was weak and incompetent. Even Zhang Lu at the door of his house couldn't deal with him, so he decided to vote for him.

However, the current situation in the world is not yet clear. It is useless to vote for small princes.

Seeing that Zhang Song didn't refuse, Yi Ji took advantage of the heat and said, "Zi Qiao, my lord swallowed up the seven counties of Jingxiang in just one year, he is really a rare hero."

"If Ziqiao votes again after my lord takes Yangzhou, I'm afraid it will happen."

"You and I are both smart people. How to choose should be clear in your heart. At least you can leave yourself a way out, can't you?"

Zhang Song pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "Your lord really wants to capture Yangzhou?"

"Hehe, this is absolutely true."

Zhang Song thought for a moment, then tentatively said, "What do I need to do?"

"Sun Ce should have already sent someone to form an alliance with your lord, right?" Yi Ji asked, and immediately said: "Zi Qiao only needs to strangle this alliance."

Zhang Song said solemnly: "Although Liu Zhang is dark and weak, he cares about the territory very much. Moreover, the one who came to form an alliance this time is Yu Fan, whose reputation is well known. My lord appreciates it and has agreed to form an alliance."

"It may not be so easy to strangle this covenant."

"Hehe, my lord knows that Ziqiao is difficult to do. He has already ordered the army to settle in Xinye and look at the Central Plains. Ziqiao only needs to persuade your lord to wait and see what happens."

"I think it shouldn't be difficult for Zi Qiao." Yi Ji smiled gently, and immediately said: "After the matter is completed, there will be several times the gold and silver as a gift."

Zhang Song's eyes darkened slightly, and he said after a long time: "I can't guarantee this matter, you just take the gold and silver away, and if it succeeds, give it to me before it's too late."

"Brother Ziqiao is serious. My lord has said that even if it fails, I will give you twice as much gold and silver as a gift, and I will give it to you as a good friend."

Yiji clasped his fists and smiled lightly.

Zhang Song didn't refuse, and said in a deep voice, "Come here, send Yi Gongcao off slowly."

Looking at the receding Yiji, Zhang Song couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes slightly, his expression lost in deep thought.

It was an unusual matter, and he had to think it over.

Thinking of this, he shouted to the door: "Come on, prepare the horse, I'm going to Xindu."

Xindu,

It is located fifty miles north of Chengdu.

The county magistrate of Xindu made friends with Zhang Songnai.

It was almost noon when the carriage slowly entered the city.

After a while, in the county government.

Zhang Song came quickly, looking at his friend Fazheng who was tasting tea, he couldn't help but cupped his hands and said with a light smile: "Xiaozhi, you are really carefree."

Fazheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled, took a sip of tea and said, "In a county, there are not many government affairs to deal with, so it's natural to be leisurely."

Zhang Song shook his head, and immediately turned his eyes serious, signaling the latter to stay away from the left and right, and when the two clerks left, Zhang Song said in a deep voice, "Xiaozhi, what do you think of Liu Zhang?"

Fazheng frowned, a little suspicious.

"Liu Zhang is timid and suspicious by nature, and he is ignorant of people, so he can be regarded as a mediocre master." Fazheng sighed, he had been with Liu Zhang for two years, and now he has only become a county magistrate, and he has long been dissatisfied.

After finishing speaking, Fazheng smiled lightly and said, "What, someone is looking for you? Is it Zhang Xiu's or Cao Cao's?"

Zhang Song nodded, and immediately said seriously: "Zhang Xiu, someone told me that Zhang Xiu wanted to attack Yangzhou, and asked me to persuade Liu Zhang to remain neutral."

"You agreed?" Fazheng asked anxiously.

"Ok!"

"Zi Qiao, you are so confused." Fazheng sighed helplessly, "Just imagine, Zi Qiao, Zhang Xiu is still thousands of miles away from Yizhou. Even if he can take Yangzhou, he will not take Yizhou within three years."

"What's more, Yizhou is the country of Sichuan Prefecture, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if it wants to take it, it will not be a matter of time. But if this matter happens, how will Ziqiao deal with himself?"

"At that time, Zhang Xiu can't help you, and your Zhang family may be slaughtered, isn't it?"

Zhang Song raised his eyebrows, with a hesitant look on his face: "What does Xiao Zhi think of me? Help or not?"

Fazheng pondered for a while, and then said: "Since you have already agreed, it's not easy to refuse immediately. You can talk to Liu Zhang tomorrow, but you must not do it deliberately."

"Thinking about Liu Zhang's personality, he would definitely not unilaterally destroy the establishment of diplomatic relations with Sun Ce. However, he is weak and incompetent, and he will not go out to fight."

"In this way, on the one hand, it also reflects Ziqiao's contribution to helping you, and on the other hand, you can also quietly watch Zhang Xiu's actions."

Zhang Song nodded in thought.

"Ziqiao don't worry, with the danger of Sichuan and Shu, someone will take the initiative to win you over at any time, just wait." Fazheng said frankly.

"Well, what Xiaozhi said is very true, so I acted too hastily." Zhang Song nodded in approval, feeling quite emotional in his heart, because he was hasty before.

"I'll talk to Liu Zhang some day, and I'll sell him Zhang Xiu's face. As for whether he can capture Yangzhou, it depends on his own ability."

Fazheng nodded and smiled lightly, pouring tea for him himself.

Then, the two began to talk about the world, and they had a very happy chat.

 Cough cough, where is the fifth watch? Where is the fifth watch? The fifth watch is in the dream of the dog author.

  Embarrassed, sleep and sleep!
