People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 291 Zhang Su, Zhang Song

In Shu County, Chengdu, among the local rich families, in the Zhang Mansion!

Zhang Su took Zhang Song to meet Liu Zhang and Pang Xi. Zhang Su was tall and majestic, a Confucian gentleman, but Zhang Song was short in stature, not ugly, but not handsome, with a somewhat unrestrained expression.

Pang Xi was very enthusiastic. First of all, he complimented Zhang Su and Zhang Song, and said nice things, and finally introduced Liu Zhang.

Then he sighed, looked at the pair of brothers and said:

"Junjiao, Ziqiao, you are all great talents. It's a pity that Duke Ming is busy with business, otherwise he would definitely come to visit in person. Fortunately, the fourth son is by his side. To show his importance, he let the fourth son come here!"

Liu Zhang was also at this time, and he could not find any faults in saluting the two of them one by one, the etiquette itself, and their demeanor.

Zhang Su smiled gently. Hearing these words and seeing this situation, he was greatly moved:
"It's our brother's good fortune to be valued by the state shepherd. It's our brothers who don't need to visit the state shepherd!"

Zhang Song looked at Liu Zhang first, and then at Pang Xi, but he didn't take it seriously. If he really wanted to visit, he should have come a long time ago. Why wait until now, it's just to win people's hearts.

At this time Pang Xi was very happy, and after a while of tugging, he finally decided to see:

"Two great talents, Duke Ming intends to enlist you. You are willing to serve as officials. As long as you nod, you can choose any position, high officials in the county, or high officials in the state!"

Zhang Su was taken aback. Even if he valued them, he still paid too much attention to them. He was in a dilemma for a while, so he half pushed and said:

"If the Dezhou pastor is conquered, our brothers will definitely serve. It's just that we have little virtue and talent, and I'm afraid we won't be able to convince the public and be useless..."

Pang Xi waved his hand and said:

"You don't have to underestimate yourself, Jun Jiao. Your reputation and ability are comparable to those in the whole of Shu. Duke Ming values ​​you, and you should value yourselves too!"

After the last pleasantries, Liu Zhang and Pang Xi bid farewell, and Zhang Su and Zhang Song saw them off in person.

It wasn't until Liu Zhang and Pang Xi left that Zhang Su finally said excitedly:
"Zi Qiao, Zhou Mu is finally willing to reuse us, the children of our Shu County family. It's a good thing, it's a great thing!"

Zhang Song was not as excited as Zhang Su, but said coldly:
"Brother, if you don't conscript us sooner or later, you will conscript us at this time. Look, it shouldn't take long for him to report back the real reason why he conscripted us. It should be that Li Yao's army is suppressing the border and is about to hit Mianzhu!"

Zhang Su was shocked when he heard this:

"Impossible, we have mountains and rivers in danger in the middle of Sichuan, even if a hundred thousand troops go south, it is impossible to easily enter..."

Zhang Song raised his head and looked at the sky, he just felt that the sky in the middle of Sichuan was too short and too small to accommodate Zhang Song, his ambition and talent could not be developed, he should go to the Central Plains to stretch his ambition and talent.

Liu Yan, Liu Zhang, all the gangsters, although capable, have no ambitions, are cowardly and have no strength. They only want to be peaceful, not to fight for hegemony.

Then Zhang Song said again:

"Brother, just wait. When the news comes back to Chengdu, don't follow Liu Yan lightly. Otherwise, after Liu Yan is wiped out, our Zhang family will be named as a thief, not to mention affecting the official career in the future, and it may lead to the decline of the entire family!"

Zhang Su frowned. As a clan member of the Han family, Liu Yan recognized him to some extent, but Liu Yan had no kindness to him, and he didn't want to lose everything for Liu Yan, including his parents, wife and children, and the entire family.

Although my younger brother is a bit lonely because of his appearance, he has never forgotten since he was a child.

This time Zhang Su trusted Zhang Song, and regretfully said:
"I thought the state shepherd was finally planning to reuse us. In short, I will pay attention this time. However, the state shepherd sent people over to visit not only us, but the rest of the Liu family, Du family, and Yang family...should also visit one by one to see how they react!"

During Liu Yan's period, Dongzhou faction was reused, but there was not much kindness to the local faction.

During Liu Zhang's period, although the Dongzhou faction was also used heavily, he also wooed the local faction and gave up a lot of benefits. For example, Zhang Su and Zhang Song were all promoted and appointed.

Zhang Song wanted to welcome Liu Bei into Shu, but when Zhang Su learned about it, he betrayed Zhang Song directly. Although he was sorry for his younger brother, he was worthy of Liu Zhang.

Moreover, when Liu Bei entered Shu, the Dongzhou faction responded mediocrely, while the local faction reacted fiercely, which is also evident.

In the end Zhang Song smiled. He was not interested in Liu Yan, Liu Zhang, father and son from the bottom of his heart. Compared to them, Zhang Song was more interested in Li Yao. Although he knew that Li Yao was not a good person, Li Yao had ambitions.

Such an ambitious man, what should he call Li Yao, madman, traitor... But in Li Yao's place, he should have the opportunity to stretch his ambition and show his talent.

Being an official in the Han Dynasty also depends on the appearance. If you are tall and handsome, and you can speak nicely, you will definitely get extra points. If you look like Zhang Song, if you don’t have a good background, then you can only focus on mountains and rivers in this life.

Therefore, for Zhang Song, he is more eager to prove himself. If he can't prove himself through appearance, then he can prove himself through ability.

At the same time, Li Yao personally supervised the construction, Yang Song and Yang Bai busily led [-] captives, civilian husbands, and finally cleared the ramp.

Hanzhong is connected to Guanzhong, and once there is an incident in Guanzhong, he can immediately lead the troops and fight back. In fact, Li Yao is not satisfied. He wants to continue to broaden the road, strengthen the control of Hanzhong, and then strengthen the control of Yizhou.

But we can't be in a hurry, widening the road is different from repairing the road, widening the road requires continuous excavation of cliffs, requiring a lot of manpower, material resources, time, and energy to invest in it.

But now, Li Yao has also received some news from Chang'an. Since he left with his troops, all the officials and ministers have been restless.

But at most, they were clamoring to meet the emperor. Without the support of the army and the generals, they would not even be able to see the emperor, and it was impossible for them to hijack the emperor and flee to Luoyang.

There is also Duan Yan, Yang Ding, who inquired about the news about the Kanto. Yuan Shao went crazy and attacked the Black Mountain Army, from Wei County, to Zhao State, Changshan State, and killed tens of thousands of people.

Ye City was stolen, no matter how big or small the loss was, if he couldn't take revenge and get back his face, where would Yuan Shao put his face.

In the south of the Yellow River, Cao Cao led the army to conquer Xuzhou, and the public opinion, military strength, and morale were all dominant in the early stage, but as the war continued, this situation changed.

Wherever Cao Cao's army passed, they directly massacred the city. No one, men, women, or children were spared. Hundreds of thousands of people had been killed, and even the river was dyed red.

This is a bit of a public outrage, from scolding Tao Qian one-sidedly to scolding Cao Cao one-sidedly, it took only two or three months.
