Yizhou, Chengdu.
As the capital of Yizhou, Chengdu is the political center of Yizhou, where countless dignitaries gather.
As a herdsman in Yizhou, Liu Zhang is now more than 30 years old. Unfortunately, although Liu Zhang was the governor of the state, in fact, his control over the civilian and military generals was not very strong.
When Liu Yan was in office, his officials, whether Sergeant Guan or local scholars, did not dare to act rashly. All those who wanted to make trouble were killed by Liu Yan.
Liu Zhang didn't have the courage.
There is no such strength.
So when Liu Zhang got the news that Zhang Xiu had killed him, he was in a panic. Especially after Fazheng returned, he reported to Liu Zhang the news that Zhang Xiu refused, saying that Zhang Xiu was determined to go south, which made Liu Zhang shiver and speak ill.
Liu Zhang didn't dare to delay, so he immediately sent Pang Xi, Huang Quan, FA Zheng, Zhang Song and others to the prefecture to discuss countermeasures.
Liu Zhang looked around and said, "Fazheng has just returned from Hanzhong. He went to Hanzhong on behalf of his official to make an alliance with Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu refused. Now, Zhang Xiu insists on going south. What do you say to do? "
When they heard the words, they all looked very nervous.
Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is not weak. He has been able to compete with Liu Zhang for many years, but he was destroyed in a flash, which shows Zhang Xiu's strength. Now there is only Liu Zhang left. It can be imagined that Liu Zhang and his subordinates are nervous.
Seeing that all the people were silent, Liu Zhang looked at Pang Xi and asked, "Pang Xi, what do you think?"
Pang Xi and Liu Zhang are related by marriage.
It is powerful.
What's more, Pang Xi was good at nurturing scholars, had many disciples, and had great strength.
Pang Xi said: "in reply to my Lord, Zhang Xiu is very powerful. We are afraid that it will be difficult to resist with our strength alone. He suggested that when Zhang Ren resisted Zhang Xiu's attack, he sent envoys to Xuchang to ask Cao Cao for help. Only Cao Cao's troops can solve the current dilemma. "
Zhang Song said, "Lord, I agree with Pang Xi."
Zhang song was Liu Zhang's confidant counselor when he took the post of driving in Yizhou. In the territory of Yizhou, Zhang song also has a strong voice, far more than Fazheng. After all, Zhang Song himself is from Zhangjia, Yizhou.
Zhang Jia is a big family in Shu county.
FA is just an outsider. It's hard to compare with Zhang Song in terms of official positions and contacts. But Fazheng and Zhang Song are also good friends.
Liu Zhang listened to people's suggestions, turned his eyes, fell on FA Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaozhi, what do you think of Zhang Xiu? If you have seen him, you can see the character of Zhang Xiu. "
Fazheng thought about it and said, "Zhang Xiu is a cunning person. Although she is young, she has great strength. When he enters his army in a humble position, his officers and men will forbid him. He is a good fighter. "
Fazheng didn't say how well Zhang Xiu was a courteous corporal, because it was easy to get angry. He didn't say how good Zhang Xiu was, but only said that Zhang Xiu was insidious and cunning.
"Newspaper!"
At this point, a soldier quickly entered. The soldier knelt down on one knee, holding a letter in his hand, and said, "I tell you, general Zhang Ren has an urgent report to send back. Baishuiguan is defeated!"
When they heard this, they all changed color.
Liu Zhang quickly asked the soldiers to hand over the letter. He quickly scanned the contents of the letter. After reading it, Liu Zhang's face changed again and again. He passed on the letter to Zhang song, Pang Xi and others.
After everyone had finished browsing, Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "Zhang Ren retreated to the county seat of Baishui County, but according to the information in his letter, the reason why Zhang Xiu was able to conquer was that a flying ball flew through the air, and then dropped a pottery pot on the flying ball to ignite the fire, so that the camp in baishuiguan caught fire. What do you think of this as true or false? "
In Liu Zhang's heart, there was some doubt.
He didn't think there was a flying ball in the air.
I don't think people can fly.
If people can fly into the sky, how terrible it would be. Therefore, Liu Zhang's first reaction was that Zhang Ren deliberately found a reason to say that Zhang Xiu was so amazing to cover up the fact of defeat.
This is Liu Zhang's suspicion.
Pang Xi said in a deep voice, "Lord, I believe in Zhang Ren. Among the generals in Yizhou, Zhang Renzhong was courageous and knew military affairs. People like him can't lie about the military situation. What's more, the soldiers in Zhang Renjun must know about the situation in baishuiguan. It's not difficult to find out. Therefore, I don't think Zhang Xiu will lie about military intelligence. "
Fazheng said: "I agree with you in your humble position!"
Zhang song also said: "I also agree with humble position!"
All the officials supported Zhang Ren, not only because he was a general in the army, but also because he had a good relationship with the people. After listening to all the people's words, Liu Zhang directly dispelled his doubts about Zhang Ren.
After a short pause, Liu Zhang said again: "if so, immediately send an order to Zhang Ren, let him sit in Baishui County, and then recruit troops to resist, to stop Zhang Xiu from driving straight in."
Pang Xi said: "my Lord is wise and wise. Zhang Ren resists Zhang Xiu's army. There are natural dangers everywhere. It's not easy to expect Zhang Xiu to go south to Chengdu."
Liu Zhang nodded, turned his eyes, fell on FA Zheng again and said, "Xiaozhi, you are eloquent. This mission to Xudu falls on you. What do you think of your mission to Xuchang? ""I'll do it
Fazheng did not hesitate to respond directly.
He has no choice.
Pang Xi, Huang Quan, Zhang Song and others were all highly qualified people, and could not be regarded as envoys. Although he was born in a respectable family, he was a posterity of a famous scholar, but he was only a diplomat.
Liu Zhang looked at Zhang song again and asked, "Zhang song, do you see the situation in the north now, do you need to reinforce Zhang Ren?"
After thinking about it, Zhang Song replied, "to my Lord, I think that the best way is to dispatch Lingbao and Liu Ruo to lead 20000 soldiers to JIANMENGUAN to be stationed as the last reinforcements. Once Zhang Ren could not resist in the front line and retreated to Jianmen pass, there were Ling Bao and Liu Ruo as reinforcements. "
"It works!"
Liu Zhang nodded in agreement.
Zhang Song continued: "next, he immediately arranged a messenger to ask the two generals to go north."
Liu Zhang nodded his head and waved his hand to let the crowd down.
Zhang Song and Fazheng had a good relationship. After leaving the prefecture, Fazheng went straight to Zhang Song's house.
In the study, they sat down.
Zhang Song looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Xiaozhi, you go to the north to see Zhang Xiu. How is he?"
FA Zheng said with a smile, "brother ziqiao, I have made it clear when I was in the prefecture
Zhang song, Biaozi Qiao.
Although he is ugly, his eyes are poisonous. He stared at Fazheng and said, "your words can deceive Liu Zhang, but they can't deceive me. Come on, what kind of person is Zhang Xiu? "
Fazheng restrained his playful look and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiu is a man who is comfortable, broad-minded, courteous and virtuous. He knows how to make good use of people and uses his weapons like a God, so he can be a hero. Zhang Xiu went south to attack Yizhou. I'm afraid Yizhou can't keep it. "
Zhang Song's eyes narrowed. There was a look of thinking in his eyes.
Fazheng did not disturb him, so he sat down quietly.
After half a sound, Zhang Song said: "if so, it's not necessary to prepare in advance and leave the way behind. Even in advance to arrange people and Zhang Xiu set up a relationship
Fazheng continued: "when I met Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu once solicited me and asked me to take up the post as the director of Taiwei mansion. But in the end, I chose to refuse. "
"Oh, what a pity!"
Zhang Song shook his head, a look of regret, said: "Xiaozhi, you have been under Liu Zhang's command for many years, that is, you used to be the magistrate of a county, until now, you are just a military officer, there is no future."
"It's the master of Taiwei's mansion. It's a real power. It's a close official of Zhang Xiu and a confidant of Zhang Xiu."
"It's an opportunity for Zhang Xiu to solicit."
"You and I know each other well. You know my ambition and I know your talent. In the future, you will not be trapped in Yizhou all the time
Zhang Song said with regret: "the great opportunity is in front of us. Why don't we seize it?"
Fazheng said: "there are two reasons!"
Zhang Song said: "which two reasons?"
Fazheng said in a deep voice: "first, my reputation is not obvious. I'm in Yizhou. Although I'm a little famous, in fact, not many people know me, let alone the rest of the world. "
"Under the command of Zhang Xiu, there are many talented people."
"These people are either celebrities or people who followed Zhang Xiu very early. I'm not willing to be looked down upon when I directly act as the chief bookkeeper as a minor person. "
"My plan is to do my best to help Liu Zhang resist Zhang Xiu under Liu Zhang's command, so that Zhang Xiu and the people under Zhang Xiu can know that there is a person named Fazheng in Yizhou, who is not a man of illusory fame."
Fazheng continued: "in this way, even if Zhang Xiu is captured after the defeat, when the time comes, I will surrender to Zhang Xiu and serve as the chief of his Taiwei mansion, and no one will say anything."
After a pause, Fazheng continued: "second, I don't want to be a second minister."
"Now, if I take the initiative to submit to Zhang Xiu, I will betray Liu Zhang. It's a label that can't be washed off in my life. It will be criticized and stabbed in the spine. "
"After Liu Zhang's defeat, I turned to Zhang Xiu. I was not a second minister, but a good bird who chose to live. Although they all surrender, there is a big difference between them. "
FA Zhengdao said, "these two reasons are why I didn't surrender."
After hearing this, Zhang Song looked thoughtful and said, "what Xiaozhi said is very true. Your words also remind me. Next, learn from you for your brother, and go all out at the critical moment of Yizhou. "
As a matter of fact, it would be better if we didn't do our best to resist the law. If you can't stop it, it's OK. "
Zhang Song arched his hand and said, "the words of filial piety are like the morning bell and the evening drum, which make people feel happy."
FA Zhengdao said: "brother ziqiao, I praise you so much!"
After a pause, Fazheng got up and said, "I have a lot of things to deal with. I have to go back to the government immediately. After packing my bags, I will leave Chengdu and go to Bajun. I will go to Jingzhou and strive to go to Xuchang as soon as possible. I will be Cao Cao for a while."Zhang Song stood up and said, "Yuxiong is here. I wish you success."
"Thank you very much."
Fazheng said thanks and left.
Zhang Song's eyes narrowed slightly, his brain turned quickly, thinking about the previous dialogue with Fazheng. The relationship between him and Fazheng is excellent. From Fazheng's speech and behavior, we can see that Fazheng highly praised Zhang Xiu.
However, due to the situation, Fazheng had to work for Liu Zhang.
This is to seek political power in its place!
Zhang Song clenched his fist and made up his mind. This time and Zhang Xiu a war, must seize the opportunity, well performance is.
