On this day, Liu Xun was discussing Yizhou matters with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in the study room of the Zhoumufu's Political Affairs Hall. Suddenly a servant came to report: "There is a man outside the mansion who claims to be Yizhou, don't drive Zhangsong, please see the lord."

"Lord, Zhang Song is one of Liu Zhang's most trusted staff, and now the situation in Yizhou is 80% settled."

Pang Tong said happily. After Pang Tong took refuge in Liu Xun, Liu Xun appointed him to be a military commander and general, and he was widely used. Pang Tong was grateful to Liu Xun from the bottom of his heart, and always wanted to help Liu Xun win Yizhou and repay Liu Xun's kindness.

"Since it was sent by Uncle Liu Zhang, I should greet him personally."

With that, Liu Xun got up and rushed to the mansion gate to meet Zhang Song. The reason why Liu Xun greeted Zhang Song personally was not only because he was sent by Liu Zhang, but Liu Xun wanted to take this opportunity to win over Zhang Song and create conditions for the future victory of Yizhou.

As soon as Liu Xun left the house, he saw a man who described a wretched man. The head is pointed, nose and teeth are exposed, and the body is less than five feet short. Liu Xun suddenly felt nauseous and a little nauseous, but for the sake of Yizhou, he still endured it, tried hard, and said with a smile: "Looking up to the name for a long time, people say that Yizhou celebrity Zhang Yongnian is very talented. I saw it today. It’s extraordinary. Mr. Yongnian is pleased."

"Where? Where? General Zuo passed the award."

With that, everyone entered the conference hall in the mansion and sat down one by one.

Pang Tong hurriedly said, "I have been admiring the name for a long time, and I saw it today. I don't know if Mr. Zhang is coming here, what's the matter?"

Zhang Song said: "When my lord heard that Zhang Lu wanted to attack the country, he thought that General Zuo and my father-in-law were of the same clan, kind and generous, famous and famous, especially to borrow troops."

Pang Tong said: "Although the lord and Liu Yizhou have the same surname, they have never had any relationship with him. Zhang Lu has sent an envoy to fix it with the lord. Now he is afraid of..."

Before Pang Tong finished speaking, Liu Xun said, "Since I am in the same clan and Yizhou is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch?"

After hearing this, Zhang Song said happily: "Left General Dade, the people of Yizhou can't forget it."

Pang Tong smiled slightly and said: "This year in Jingzhou, the harvest is not good, so it is not suitable to send troops. Moreover, our army has been fighting with Cao Cao for several months. The soldiers are tired and can no longer be used. It is the best policy to take a rest.

Zhuge Liang also nodded, and said: "The scholar's words are justified. Now that the soldiers are depleted, they cannot make ends meet, so it is not appropriate to send troops."

Liu Xun said: "Yizhou is the same surname, but in terms of seniority, he is still my uncle. Now Zhang Lu is aggressively invading Yizhou. How can I not save Yizhou? Don't say anything anymore, I'm determined!"

Zhang Songxin said: "People say that Liu Xun is benevolent and righteous, and it is true. As soon as I got here, he treated me with respect and respect, talked for a long time, and was always respectful and polite. Now when I hear of difficulties in Yizhou, he is determined to help each other regardless of the opposition of the officials. He is really a kind person."

Thinking of this, Zhang Song said: "Now General Zuo occupies the land of the six counties, and the United States is beautiful, but it is somewhat insufficient."

Pang Tong smiled slightly and asked: "What's the shortcoming?"

Zhang Song said: "Jingzhou is the place of the Four Wars. It has been chaotic for several years. The people have fled and the number of households has been damaged. When I came here, I saw barren fields and overgrown weeds. There hasn't been such a miserable situation for more than a decade. The scene of the fertile fields in the old days. Although such a place is victorious, it is useless. How can it resist Cao Cao and be called upon to conquer thieves!"

Liu Xun nodded, and said, "Yongnian said so well, what should I do, please advise." Liu Xun was very happy at this time, thinking that Zhang Yongnian had finally taken the bait.

Zhang Song said: "Yizhou is dangerous, fertile and wild, and the people are rich. The people of Yizhou are scholars and the virtues of General Zuo. In the Warring States period, Qin was prosperous by annexing Bashu and had sufficient food and grass. In the end, Qin Shihuang was destroyed. Losing the princes of the six countries and achieving the cause of the emperor. Now Liu Zhang is weak, and the people of Yizhou are all looking forward to Mingjun. Such a good opportunity is definitely not to be missed. With the virtues of the generals on the left and the soldiers coming, you can do it in one fell swoop. If you can obtain the land of Shu, the dominance can be achieved, and the Han Dynasty can flourish."

When Liu Xun heard this, he pretended to be frightened and said loudly: "How dare I do this? Liu Yizhou is my Han family clan, and Enzebu has been in the Shu for a long time? How can others be easily shaken?"

Zhang Song sighed and said: "I am not a seller seeking glory, and I am afraid of not being guilty when I meet Ming Gong. Although Liu Jiyu is good for the land of the state, he has a weak temperament and can't be a good person. In addition, Zhang Lu is here. North, often invaded Yizhou, and the hearts of the people were divorced. If Ming Gong first took Xichuan as the base, and then collected the Central Plains, the Han Dynasty, the name goes down in history, and the merits are great. If Ming Gong intends to take Xichuan, I would like to do what I can do, and think it should I don’t know what General Zuo wanted?"

Pang Tongxin said: "You guy is still born to be a traitorous minister! No matter how bad Liu Zhang is, he is your master, but his brain doesn't work well and he didn't offend you. It's fine if you don't give him a good idea, and you took the opportunity to sell him. , It's really profitable."

Liu Xun long eyebrows and one xuan, with a displeased face, he said, "I understand your kindness. Liu Jiyu and I are of the same clan. If you attack him, you will be scolded by the world. I will not do this. Now I have Jingzhou. The land of the six counties is full of satisfaction. Even if you fail to ask the thieves, you have no regrets. How dare you to stand shoulder to shoulder with Guangwu

Zhang Song smiled and said: "Ming Gong is kind, but the man should not stick to the small section in his life. You should put meritorious work first. If the general left today does not take it, it will be taken by others, and it will be too late to regret."

Liu Xun said sternly: "Then wait for others to take it, I'm not too late to take it. And Yizhou is in trouble, how can I just sit back and try my best to save him."

After Zhang Song heard this, he was very anxious, and said quickly: "Ming Gong thinks about the love of the same clan, how can you not think about the love of the people of Yizhou. Ji Yu is weak and has no way to care for the realm. The people of Yizhou think of the master. , Like a drought, hoping for the rain. If Ming Gong does not take it and is acquired by others, will the people not suffer. Moreover, Yizhou is too dangerous, how can Ming Gong easily take it? Even if it takes it, it will harm the people of Yizhou."

Liu Xun lowered his head to ponder for a moment before he said: "I heard that the roads of Shu are rugged, mountains and rivers, cars can't square rails, horses can't connect with bridles. If I want to take it, what good strategy should I use?"

Zhang Song smiled slightly, stretched his hand into his sleeve, fumbled for a long time, took out a picture, handed it to Liu Xun, and said, "I feel that the public is prosperous, and I offer this picture. But looking at this picture, you can see the road in Shuzhong! "

Liu Xun took the map and unfolded it. The geographical itinerary of the counties in Yizhou was listed on it, including dangerous mountains and rivers, rivers, roads, government treasury money, and military deployment, which were very detailed and clear at a glance. The more Liu Xun looked at, the happier he felt. He knew that he had obtained this picture, which meant he had won half of Yizhou. He couldn't help but smile and admire again and again.

Zhang Song observed what he said, and knew that Liu Xun was very happy, smiled slightly, and said: "Duke Ming can quickly map it. I have two close friends. One is Fazheng and the other is Mengda. These two people will definitely be able to help each other. When people arrive in Jingzhou, they can discuss with them."

Zhuge Liang said: "Yongnian went back and acted secretly, don't let Liu Zhang notice it. When we don't know when we want to be in the middle of Shu, how should we contact Yongnian?"

Zhang Song said: "At that time, I will send Fazheng to come to discuss with Ming Gong."

Liu Xun was overjoyed and said, "It's so good."

After the conversation, Liu Xun hosted a banquet in honor of Zhang Song. Later, Liu Xun kindly asked Zhang Song to stay in Xiangyang for a few more days. Every day, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others were accompanied to take him to various places in Xiangyang. Although Xiangyang has repeatedly experienced wars and chaos, under Liu Xun's governance, it has almost recovered. Zhang Song also has a lot of experience when he swims all the way.

For others, Zhuge Liang thought that he didn't know the path and could survive the disaster, but he didn't expect to be named to accompany Zhang Song to visit Xiangyang, and he was really depressed. With Zhang Songman running around on the street, unwilling, Zhang Song still talked about it, asking questions about it, and inquiring in detail about the origin of the historical sites. Pang Tong didn't know much about Xiangyang City, so naturally he asked three questions. But the inconvenience broke out, so I had to swallow his breath, and only promised to take him everywhere, like a year. On the surface, he was respectful, but in my heart he cursed him, and prayed to God to quickly let this plague roll to Xishu and stop being annoying again. .

This day Zhuge Liang was exercising in his backyard, playing his own Tai Chi, with no one else. When I was in the mood, I suddenly heard a chuckle, my old face reddened, stopped punching, and without looking back, he shouted: "Huang Yueying, what are you doing sneakily behind? I don't know how I look at Liulu. Listen to all directions, dare to make small moves behind me!"

Huang Yueying wanted to startle him secretly. Hehehe smiled, walked up and said, "I'll just come when I have something to do. It's okay who loves to see what martial arts you are practicing here! Your fox friend and dog friend, looks like you What kind of Yizhou Zhang Yongnian, here comes again, saying that you will take him out for shopping!"

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, took out Jinpa to wipe the sweat beads on his head, and said: "What is this called? I am not familiar with Xiangyang City. Last time I took him around, I was confused. I don’t know where it is. But he has a good memory, and brought me home based on his impression... He knows more than me, and he wants me to take it.

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "Hehe, people are out there. If you don't want to see him. I will go back to him and say that you are uncomfortable today, and this lord will not be there anymore."

Zhuge nodded brightly and said, "Well! Just like that, I said I have a fever and can't go out!"

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Haha, okay! What else do you have to tell your husband?"

Zhuge Liang lowered his head to ponder for a moment, raised his head, and said, "Forget it, I'd better go and see him, otherwise the kid will learn that I pretended to be ill and lied to him, and it would be difficult for the lord to hit me with a small report. This guy. Even the master dares to sell, and there is anyone else he dares not to sell."

Zhuge Liang's worries are completely correct. As the saying goes, "I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain." A villain is very vengeful. If you inadvertently offend a villain, they will keep it in their hearts. As long as there is a chance, they will definitely kill you when you are not paying attention.

Huang Yueying agrees with Zhuge Liang's point of view? Still disagree
