Lu Dynasty

Chapter 485 Zhang Song Returns to Sichuan
Zhang Song didn't understand what I meant. Since I was willing to accept him, I should let him participate in our army's crisis. But when I did this, he felt like an outsider, so Zhang Song was very angry.I said solemnly: "I have received reliable news that Yuan Shao is contacting foreigners and wants to gather 200 million foreign coalition forces to attack our company and Liang Sanzhou! But I only have four 10,000+ troops, which is far from their strength. If they really I really don’t want Yongnian to die with me, even Xiao Zhi, I want him to come back after I get through this crisis, and please Yongnian to bring him a message!” In fact, I don’t want Zhang Song and Fazheng came not only because I was in crisis, but also because I was worried that they would speculate when they saw that I was in crisis.In history, Zhang Song died before Liu Bei entered Sichuan. After Fazheng defected to Liu Bei, Liu Bei left very smoothly, so I don’t know what their hearts are!And their old friend, Meng Da, is a utilitarian, who has been back and forth between Wei and Shu several times.As the saying goes: Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups.Based on Meng Da's assumptions about Fazheng and Zhang Song, I really don't feel at ease with them!

Seeing the sincerity of what I said, Zhang Song understood that I was worried about their safety, and was very moved.He stood up and bowed to me: "Prime Minister Gao Yi, Song Yong remembers it in his heart. But now that the prime minister is in danger, wouldn't it be unjust for Song to leave the prime minister? Song decided not to leave, and lived and died with the prime minister in Luoyang , in the name of all friends!"

"Yongnian can't!" I said with a smile, "Yongnian still has to go back. If I really lose, Yongnian can help me persuade Liu Zhang to take me in so that I can make a comeback. Tu Xichuan. Besides, if Yuan Shao sends someone to contact Liu Zhang to deal with me together, Yongnian can still block the troops for me to relieve my worries, so it is more beneficial for Yongnian to return to Shuzhong than Luoyang!"

Zhang Song thought for a while and said: "The prime minister's words are reasonable. I will persuade Liu Zhang and the prime minister to make up in Shuzhong, and I hope the prime minister will take care of himself! I am waiting for the prime minister's arrival in Shuzhong!"

"Don't worry, Yongnian, with you guys waiting, how can I let you down! I swear to kill the mere foreign race!" Seriously, once Yuan Shao colludes with the foreign race, he will lose the hearts of the people of Youji and Hebei, and even his subordinates The morale of the troops will also be slackened.The common people of Youji are deeply suffering from the foreigners. They have a sworn hatred with the foreigners, so how can they be willing to cooperate with the foreigners?

Seeing how confident I was, Zhang Song took out a roll of cloth from his bosom and held it to me with both hands, saying: "Since I can't give a big present, I'm going to send a small present to the Prime Minister to show my Song's heart!"

What else can Zhang Song take out, it is naturally the topographic map of Xichuan, but I still asked knowingly: "Yongnian, what is this?"

"Prime Minister, this is the topographical map of Xichuan I drew. I am not seeking glory from the seller! Now that I meet Duke Ming, I dare not show my courage: Although Liu Jiyu is beneficial to the state, it is a pity that he has a weak nature and cannot be used by talents. In addition, Zhang Lu is in the north, and often wants to invade Yizhou. Now Yizhou is divided, and both the people and the civil and military officials in Yizhou want a Ming Lord to take charge of Shu. Song came to Luoyang at the invitation of Fa Xiaozhi , Let’s see if Duke Ming is the Lord of Ming, so that we can take effect! From what I can see now, the Prime Minister is a rare Lord of Ming in the world, so I present the topographical map of Xichuan. The Duke of Ming takes Si Bingliang as the foundation, looking west to Hanzhong and Shu As a granary, occupying all the fertile land in Guanzhong and taking over the land of the Central Plains, Qin Huang’s hegemony is just around the corner, does the prime minister have no intentions?” Zhang Song’s talent is indeed good, as far as his strategic vision is concerned, although he is better than Zhuge Liang and Lu Su’s three Dividing the world is slightly worse, but his strategy is easier to do.

I looked at Zhang Song who was talking eloquently, and suddenly felt that his ugly face was not so ugly anymore, maybe it was because I chatted with him for a long time and got used to it!I took Zhang Song's hand and said, "Yongnian is a great talent! However, I hope that Yongnian will not be in a hurry at any time. You must keep things secret, even if it is your own brother, you must pay attention! Can you get Xichuan? It doesn't matter, you must pay attention to safety!" Zhang Song in history wrote to Liu Bei to persuade Liu Bei not to retreat because Liu Bei pretended to withdraw troops but forgot to inform him.Unexpectedly, Zhang Song was not careful enough, so the letter to Liu Bei fell on the ground in a panic, and was picked up by his brother Zhang Su.As a result, Zhang Su reported on Zhang Song, resulting in his tragic death!

Zhang Song's own degree is not as important as a Yizhou, but I am willing to give up Yizhou for him. No matter what I say is true or false, he is very moved.Zhang Song wiped his moved tears with his sleeve and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I will definitely save my life to welcome the Prime Minister into Yizhou!"

I patted Zhang Song on the shoulder and said: "Yongnian must remember what I said today, and be careful in everything!" Although Zhang Song's appearance has affected the image of a big man, it is undeniable that he is a rare talent. Or strategic vision is very good.After the unification of the Han Dynasty, let Zhang Song go to govern overseas, anyway, the height of the people there is not much taller than him!
The next day, I took Zhang Song to Chaoshang.After meeting with Liu Bian, I personally sent him out of the city, and held a banquet at the Ten Mile Chang Pavilion for Zhang Song to practice.Zhang Song was very moved. He pulled my hand and said, "Minggong, we will part from now on. The date of the meeting is far away. I just hope that Minggong will take care of me and meet me soon! Fazheng and Mengda are both me. My dear friends, if they come to Luoyang, Duke Ming can discuss matters of confidence with them!!"

I picked up the wine glass and made a toast to Zhang Song and said: "The green mountains will not change, but the green water will last forever. If he succeeds in his daily affairs, the peak will be rewarded!"

"The prime minister treats me as a friend, and I have to meet the Lord of Ming, so I have to tell each other as much as I want, how dare I report it?" Zhang Song picked up the wine I toasted him and drank it all, saying: "Song bid farewell to the lord!" Watching Zhang Song go away I can't help feeling a little bit emotional.Such a great talent has always been discriminated against just because he looks a little sorry to the audience.Whether it was Liu Zhang or Cao in history, they all spoke coldly to him, until Liu Bei knew that Zhang Song had a topographic map of Xichuan in his hand, and then flattered him. Unfortunately, he died before he even had a good day. The reason why he died is that Or because of his own brother's betrayal, in fact, it's not Zhang Song's fault that he looks ugly, and even if Zhang Song doesn't die, we don't know what Liu Bei will do to him.I didn't flatter Zhang Song like Liu Bei did to Zhang Song. I just treated him with the attitude of ordinary people, let him be grateful, and gave him a topographic map of Xichuan with both hands, which made me feel a little guilty!
