Chapter 1329

Now, although Zhang Lu was destroyed, a more ruthless Yuan Xi came to Hanzhong.

Liu Zhang was not sure about Yuan Xi's way, but also had a certain fluke mentality.

He has a feud with Zhang Lu. It's not surprising that the two families fight. However, Liu Zhang thought to himself that he had no hatred with Yuan Xi, and it was not surprising that he was lucky, so he sent Zhang song to inquire about his tone.

[the major events of the romance have been advanced... Is it my influence?]

Bai Xiaowen thought silently in his heart.

The sequence of events in the romance is that Cao Cao destroyed yuan - Sangu Maolu - the battle of Chibi - Ma Chao launched the army - Cao Cao calmed Hanzhong - Liu Bei collected Sichuan.

However, before the Guandu war, Zhuge Liang arrived under Liu Bei ahead of time; Ma Chao and even Bai Xiaowen calmed Hanzhong several years in advance.

Bai Xiaowen, a Strider, can no longer be regarded as a butterfly, but a ROC. Its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. Under the vibration, the Three Kingdoms face the choppy world, and the subsequent historical track is beyond recognition.

Although the historical track has changed, there are still traces to follow.

Bai Xiaowen can judge that if Zhang Song's mission to Hanzhong is not satisfactory, he will visit Liu Bei on his way home and help Liu Bei collect Xichuan.

Bai Xiaowen won Zhang Song's loyalty and naturally cut Liu Bei's beard.

Zhang Song's Xichuan geographical map is of little use to Bai Xiaowen. After all, there is an S-class gold prop of mountain and river geographical map; But Zhang Song's support is very important to Liu Bei.

Bai Xiaowen thought carefully about how to collect Xichuan after obtaining Zhang Song's support, so that Liu Bei had no place to live.

Zhang Song didn't know what Bai Xiaowen was thinking. When he got Bai Xiaowen's kindness, he wanted to serve him and said:

"A person who is not a seller for glory. As the saying goes: a scholar dies for a confidant. Now when I meet Lord Yan, I don't abandon my ugly appearance and make friends. How dare I not be brave enough to pay for kindness?

"Although Liu Jiyu (referring to Liu Zhang) has the land of Yizhou, he has a weak temperament and can't use his talents. If Duke Yan doesn't take Xichuan, Liu Bei will come to take it; at that time, there will be Liu Bei in the West and sun CE in the East. With the joint efforts of the two, the great cause of Duke Yan's unified rule of the world will produce variables. This is the great opportunity of the world! May Duke Yan know it clearly."

Speaking of this, Zhang song took out a picture from his arms and said, "before someone came, he had secretly drawn a geographical map of 41 prefectures and counties in Xichuan and presented it to Lord Yan. But looking at this picture, he knew the road in Sichuan."

Bai Xiaowen took the map and looked at it. It said that the distance and width of the road, including mountains and rivers and money and grain in the government treasury, were clear.

Bai Xiaowen thanked Zhang Song and asked, "what's the heart of Xichuan?"

Zhang Song said, "although there are many civil and military talents, people's hearts are not united. I have two close friends: Fazheng and Mengda. Both of them have talents and have always been dissatisfied with Liu Zhang. I will convince my two good friends to be both insiders and help Duke Yan when I go back this time."

Bai Xiaowen insisted on Zhang Song's hand and said with a smile, "don't drive golden words. Is there any reason why you can't follow them?"

Zhang song was overjoyed and said, "it's better for Yan Gong to make a quick start. If Liu Bei takes Xichuan, it's too late to repent."

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "No. now there are Liu Bei and Liu Zhang in Xichuan. If we lead the army to force, the two Liu must work together to resist. With Liu Zhang's support for food, grass, soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei's strong counselors and generals, Xichuan is eager and difficult to attack. Instead, it will give Liu Bei the opportunity to master the military power of Xichuan and win the hearts of the people in Sichuan."

Zhang Song nodded yes and said, "Yan Gong's view is wise."

Bai Xiaowen added: "Liu Zhang is a weak character. Although he invited Liu Bei to Sichuan, he must be on guard. Gu first wrote back to Liu Zhang and named him the Duke of Xichuan, indicating that he did not want to accept Sichuan. After Gong returned to Yizhou, he told him his interests and advised him to expel Liu Bei. Liu Bei will inevitably change and lead to the opposition of two Liu Bei! That's when he entered Sichuan alone."

Zhang song took his advice, bowed his hands and said, "the words of Duke Yan are clear and thoughtful. After Song returns to Sichuan, he will try his best to cooperate, expel Liu Bei and welcome Duke Yan as soon as possible."

Bai Xiaowen then wrote a book to Liu Zhang and gave it to Zhang song. He also gave Zhang song a copy of the geographical Atlas of Xichuan and asked him to do so. Zhang Song nodded and agreed.

……

Before returning to Yizhou, Zhang Song deliberately passed by the road near jiamengguan.

Sure enough, first Zhao Yun, then Guan Yu, welcomed Zhang Song and entered Jiameng pass for a chat.

Before Zhang song came to Jiameng pass, Liu Bei led the Phoenix chicks Pang Tong and Xu Shu to go out of the pass to greet them. They booed the cold and asked for warmth all the way and took great care of them. They were even warmer than Bai Xiaowen's hospitality.

However, Zhang song has realized his life self-worth in Bai Xiaowen. It is inevitable that he is lack of interest in Liu Bei's enthusiasm.

After being treated confidently by "the first person in the world" and being cited as a confidant, an ordinary vassal would be futile even if he received any courtesy. Besides, Bai Xiaowen's charm value is not lower than that of Liu Bei.

During the banquet, Liu Bei asked about the results of his mission.

Zhang Song said: "Yuan Xi is a young man who has achieved his ambition. He is a young man. I was in the post for a few days before I was able to see him. It's very annoying!"

Liu Bei said, "does Yuan Xi have the idea of capturing Xichuan?"

Zhang Song said, "Yuan Xi thought the journey to Xichuan was difficult and dangerous, so he didn't intend to send troops. He planned to make Liu Zhang the Duke of Xichuan. As long as Liu Zhang paid tribute every year, he would no longer attack Xichuan."

Liu Bei and Pang Tong were thoughtful and then asked Zhang song to stay in Jiameng pass for a few days.

Zhang Song refused and said, "my lord Liu Zhang is still waiting for a reply. It is difficult to stay for a long time."

Liu Bei held Zhang Song's hand and wept: "don't drive me and I like each other at first sight, but it's fate! It's late, please don't drive in the pass for a night, and it's not too late to go tomorrow."

When Zhang Song saw Liu Bei crying, he quickly agreed. He was also very moved. Liu Bei was kind and kind, and his virtuous name was indeed true.

That night, Liu Bei gave a banquet in honor of Zhang song, which was very warm.

When they speculated, Liu Bei invited Zhang song to talk at night and sleep.

The next morning, Zhang Song left. Liu Bei, along with Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and others, even sent ten miles. He also insisted on letting go of Zhang's hand.

Zhang Song said, "Uncle Huang, don't send it again. It's important to guard the customs."

Liu Bei sighed, "Yongnian and I were like old friends at first sight. I don't know when I'll see you again today!" tears stained my clothes as I spoke.

Zhang Song said movingly:

"Song also wants to serve uncle Huang sooner or later, but he hates no chance. If Uncle Huang doesn't give up, song has a saying: Jingzhou is a vital place, with Yuan Xi in the north and sun CE in the East. It's not a place where he can base his foundation. The people of Yizhou are rich and the emperor has become an imperial industry. Uncle Huang might as well take Yizhou as his home. When the world changes, he will send his teachers to the Central Plains and help the Han Dynasty. The world is very lucky."

While talking, Zhang song sent Xichuan geographical atlas.

After hearing this, Liu Bei said, "Bei'an dares to do so? Liu Jiyu has been in Sichuan for two generations and has been widely praised."

Pang Tong said, "the Lord is the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty, but he can't occupy the state and county? Yuan Xihan's bandits, but they rely on force to occupy the territory. Who can tolerate people of insight in the world."

Liu Bei also stopped Pang Tong and was humble again and again. For example, he was the same clan as Liu Zhang and couldn't bear to seize the foundation of the same clan.

Zhang Song said, "Uncle Huang, if heaven doesn't take it, he will be blamed. Now Liu Zhang is weak and can't defend the land; uncle Huang takes his place. When he achieves great cause, if he thinks that he has made meritorious contributions to the foundation and has been granted the title of national Duke and Prince, he will also repay it with righteousness, what's the credit?"

Liu Bei suddenly said, "don't drive the theory of gold and stone, be prepared to remember it in your heart."

……

Zhang Song returned to Chengdu.

Seeing Liu Zhang, Zhang Song changed his words again.

When Liu Zhang asked about Yuan Xi's tone, Zhang Song wrote back and said, "the public of the state of Yan said that Xichuan is remote and unwilling to go on an expedition. The Lord only needs to pay tribute to the imperial court every year. Naturally, he will be safe and sound. He will also be named the Duke of Xichuan and will always town Yizhou for generations."

When Liu Zhang read the reply, he was overjoyed and said, "how difficult is it to pay tribute? I didn't pay tribute to yedU court before, just because there was Zhang Lu as a hindrance, coupled with the separation of various princes, the road was blocked. Now Duke Yan has conquered the north and destroyed Zhang Lu, and the road is open. I should have paid tribute and become a minister."

After that, Liu Zhang rewarded Zhang song.

After thanking Zhang song, he said: "the Lord invited Liu Bei to Sichuan just to resist Zhang Lu; now Zhang Lu is flat, and Yan Gong doesn't want to take Xichuan. The Lord should expel Liu Bei as soon as possible to avoid raising the tiger."

Liu Zhang hesitated and said, "Xuande and I are the same family. At first we invited him to come. Now we have to drive him away if we have nothing to do. It's inevitable that people will say I'm cold and thin."

Someone nearby said, "the Lord is very right. Besides, Yan Gong Yuan Xi said it was a withdrawal. Who knows whether it was true or false? If Liu Bei was expelled, Yuan Xi would seriously kill him, and it would be difficult to invite him again."

Zhang song was surprised and hurried to see that the speaker was Huang Quan.

In fact, in the romance, Huang Quan opposed inviting Liu Bei to Sichuan and once "broke his teeth and admonished".

But this time, that time, the two situations are different. At that time, the enemy Liu Zhang faced was Zhang Lu, which could not threaten Xichuan at all, but a disease of scabies; Now we are facing Yuan Xi, a tiger and wolf, who is fully capable of beating Xichuan.

Therefore, Huang Quan advised Liu Zhang not to drive Liu Bei away easily.

Another person nearby said, "Liu Bei is also in a big trouble in Sichuan. Lord, you might as well suspend for a few days to watch the movement of Lord Yan; if the class teacher returns to the dynasty, he really has no intention of collecting Sichuan, so you can drive Liu Bei away; if Lord Yan stays in Hanzhong, he has the heart to attack me, and it's not too late to discuss countermeasures."

Zhang Song looked again. This time he was talking about Yizhou. His name was Wang Lei.

Basically, the literary ministers loyal to Liu Zhang, including Huang Quan and Wang Lei, were silent.

Liu Zhang asked Zhang song, "what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Song said, "engaging in Wang Lei is the old man's advice to plan the country. You can do it without haste or delay."

Liu Zhang also liked this golden mean method, so he ordered to send reconnaissance cavalry to investigate the movements in Hanzhong.

After Zhang song came home, it coincided with the visit of Fazheng and Mengda.

Zhang song had a secret discussion with them and said, "Liu Bei was thought to be the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, which is rare in the world. When I went to Hanzhong this time and saw Yan Gong Yuan Xi, I knew what the LORD was! In my opinion, Yan Gong will unify the world sooner or later. We will offer Yizhou to Yan Gong."

FA Zheng said with a smile, "if you can praise Zhang Yongnian so highly, Yan Gong must have extraordinary ability."

Meng Da said, "I've also heard the name of Duke Yan for a long time. I've swept away the Cao family and Xiliang, and leveled Wuhuan. My martial arts are powerful in the sea. If a young man is successful, he can respect a virtuous and loving scholar like this. I'm the Lord of destiny, and I have the intention to follow him."

The three laughed and drank and discussed all night.

……

In a few days, the reconnaissance horse sent by Liu Zhang had an echo.

Yangong's big flag (d'ao, big flag) has evacuated Hanzhong, crossed Wuguan and returned to Chang'an; Zhang Ying, a senior general, was left to guard Hanzhong and migrate the population of Hanzhong to enrich the three auxiliary places of Chang'an.

Liu Zhang was overjoyed and said, "Yan Gong really doesn't have the heart of Yizhou!" so he gathered people to discuss how to "send" Liu Bei out of the country.

During the discussion, Yang Huai, one of the two guards of Fushui pass, came to see Liu Zhang with a letter from Liu Bei.

Liu Zhang opened the letter, frowned and said, "Xuande said that Jingzhou has changed, and sun CE seems to have the intention to attack against the alliance. Please ask me to send 30000 elite soldiers and 100000 rice grains to help at the suggestion of my fellow ancestors. What should I do?"

Yang Huai said, "Lord, I don't know. Since Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he has shown kindness and won the hearts of the people. What's his heart? It's obvious. Now he asks for money and food for soldiers and horses. You must not give him, otherwise he will fight the fire with wages and suffer."

Liu Zhang hesitated.

Others include Huang Quan, the chief bookkeeper, and Liu BA's persuasion; Zhang song, FA Zheng and others also bitterly admonished Liu Zhang.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Zhang took a compromise, allocated 4000 old and weak soldiers and 10000 yuan of rice grain to Liu Bei, and asked Yang Huai to go back and guard the Fushui pass.

But in two days, Liu Zhang received bad news.

Fushui pass has been lost. Yang Huai and Gao Pei, the two guards, have been beheaded by Liu Bei!

After asking the reason carefully, I realized that Liu Bei got Liu Zhang's reply and began to scold; On the pretext of borrowing back to Jingzhou, he tricked Yang Huai and Gao Pei into seeing them off.

Speaking of it, Yang Huai and Gao Pei are also full of self-confidence. They actually carry a sharp blade and want to assassinate Liu Bei when they see him off.

Somehow, it was revealed that Liu Bei was wearing a heavy armor. His generals caught Yang Gao like a chicken. They found a sharp blade and cut him immediately.

After hearing the bad news, Liu Zhang regretted: "I didn't expect that Liu Bei was ambitious. He really wanted to take my foundation. It's in vain that I still regard him as my same ancestor! What should I do now?"

Huang Quan said, "now that Liu Bei has captured Fushui pass, the next step must be the city of Luo. Luo city is the barrier of Chengdu, and its strategic position is very important. The Lord can send elite soldiers to guard Luo city all night. Liu Bei can't come even if he has elite generals."

Liu Zhang hurriedly ordered four generals in Sichuan: Liu Ruo (Gu ī）、 Ling Bao, Zhang Ren and Deng Xian set out to guard Luocheng with 50000 troops. The four generals led the military order and set off.

After the four generals left, Zhang Song saw this opportunity and said, "Lord, Liu Bei has the wisdom of Wolong and Phoenix, Guan, Zhang and Zhao Zhiyong. Can you resist Liu Bei with the power of the four generals?"

Liu Zhang also felt guilty: "what should I do?"

Zhang Song said, "I have a plan to make Liu Bei dare not look at Xichuan."

Liu Zhang was overjoyed: "will the plan work out?"

Zhang Song said something.

Exactly: heroes from the central plains were attracted only because of the advance of officials in Shu. Predict what will happen next and let's talk about it next time.

(the ending is changed from the poetry of the romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's just interesting. Don't be serious)
