Chapter 714 Zhang Song Asks for Orders

Zhang Ren said solemnly: "Liu Ye blamed me for no reason. The morality is mine. This is the right time. Entering Sichuan is difficult and dangerous, and the plank road is narrow. This is the geographical advantage. My Yizhou soldiers protect their homeland and their morale is strong. This is the harmony. The state pastor uses the right time and the right time. With favorable geographical location and harmonious relations, and with Ren and others as generals, how can it be difficult to resist Liu Ye?"

Zhang Ren's tone was impassioned and righteous, and even those who didn't have a good relationship with him couldn't help but nod in agreement.

But Liu Zhang said bitterly: "Well, our army can't even deal with Zhang Lu, so how can we deal with Liu Ye's army? Governor Zhang, you are too loud."

"Don't Zhou Mu want to send troops?"

Huang Quan frowned and said: "What happened today is just like the King of Qin asking the King of Zhao for He's Bi. As Lin Xiangru said, if Liu Ye sends troops to attack me, then Liu Ye will be the one to attack me; if he resists and disrespects the decree, then it will be me. , Liu Yuqing, regardless of whether he has the intention to attack me or not, will raise an army to hold him accountable, so Zhou Mu should think carefully."

"This" Liu Zhang felt in a dilemma and looked sad. Why did he get into this mess?

"Sima Lang is waiting. If he doesn't wait for news, he won't go back." Huang Quan urged: "Zhou Mu had better make a decision as soon as possible."

"It made me think again and again."

Liu Zhang really couldn't make a decision, so he clenched his fists, sighed a few times, and then unclenched his fists.

Seeing that Liu Yan was unable to make a decision, all Yizhou civil and military officials showed disappointment on their faces, regardless of whether they were from the war faction or the peace faction.

Whether it's a battle or a peace, you have to have an attitude, right? But this Liu Zhang couldn't beat a fart with three sticks, which was far inferior to Liu Yan.

"Don't worry, Zhou Mu. I have a plan. Please listen to it."

When Liu Zhang heard this, he looked over and saw that the person speaking had a deer-headed head and rat-like eyes, a scorched yellow complexion, and was extremely ugly. He was actually Zhang Song, who was engaged in Yizhou.

"What's Zhang Zheng's plan? Can you tell me?"

Liu Zhang was in a difficult situation, so it wouldn't hurt to listen to what Zhang Song had to say.

Zhang Song replied: "Since Liu Ye wants to capture Hanzhong, he must mobilize his troops and generals. It will take a long time. If the war in Hanzhong is intense, it will take a while. But Zhang chose a small road and traveled day and night to meet the general. Put it to the test."

"How to test?" Liu Zhang became interested.

"If the general has the intention to attack Yizhou, then our army will refuse to send troops and follow the example of Emperor Gaozu when he burned down the plank road. Not to mention an army of one hundred thousand, even an army of one million will not be able to enter; if there is no intention to attack Yizhou, So our army sent troops to help attack Zhang Lu, and declared himself a minister and paid tribute to the court every year. The condition is that Yizhou officials will be appointed and taken over by the local government. How about that?" Zhang Song asked.

The road to Shu is difficult and dangerous since ancient times. Poet Li Taibai said: The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky. The way to Sichuan is basically through mountains. Even experienced mountaineers will fall and be broken into pieces if they accidentally step on the air. The main way into Sichuan is the plank road.

The so-called plank road is to use wood to build a road on the mountain wall. In order to facilitate the people of Yizhou to travel, Liu Yan spent a lot of effort to build the plank road. However, if the plank road was burned, it would naturally be difficult to enter.

Liu Zhang was overjoyed: "Okay, what a brilliant plan!"

"Zhang Chengzhi's words are that old people will seek for the country. I think it's feasible."

"Yes, yes, General Liu is a wise man. If Yizhou resists, it will damage his majesty. I believe General Liu will understand."

Liu Zhang said happily: "Zhang Song, I have specially appointed you as the envoy to accompany the angel back to Luoyang. I will do what you say."

"Relax and obey."

Zhang Song bowed his hands and stepped back.

"Okay, I'll invite the angel to the banquet tomorrow and tell you about this."

After the matter was settled, Liu Zhang seemed much happier and even had an appetite.

But he didn't notice that a trace of disappointment and determination flashed in Zhang Song's eyes.

"Everyone, please go down, haha."

Liu Zhang waved his hands happily, and all the civil and military officials in Yizhou stood up from their seats and then left.

"Brother Zidu, wait a minute, I'll take your sedan chair and go to your house, haha."

The ministers retreated, and Zhang Song suddenly took a few steps quickly and stopped Meng Da. Meng Da nodded, with a knowing smile on his face.

Seeing Zhang Song and Meng Da walking together, Zhang Ren couldn't help but frown.

"A nest of snakes and rats," he said contemptuously.

However, Zhang Song and Meng Da had already boarded the same carriage and gradually drove away.

"Brother Yongnian, what exactly do you think?"

As soon as he got on the carriage, Meng Da's expression suddenly changed and he said seriously.

"Brother Zidu, among the civil and military forces in Yizhou, you are the only one who can talk to me." Zhang Song smiled bitterly.

He had a deer-like head and rat-like eyes, and an ugly face. Most people would frown unconsciously when they saw him, but Meng Da was the complete opposite. He spoke elegantly and behaved well. Even Cao Pi, the later Emperor Wen of Wei, admired him very much. It can be seen that Meng Da Very angry. The two of them are together, just like Snow White and the dwarf becoming friends.

Zhang Song immediately became serious, looked at Meng Da and said: "Brother Zidu, these are troubled times. Although Liu Ye and Cao Cao are powerful, the people of Yizhou are rich, have abundant food and grass, and have tens of thousands of elite soldiers. If we can assist one Lord Ming, it is possible that we cannot compete for the world."

"But look at Liu Jiyu, does he look like a wise master?"

At this point, Zhang Song became very angry: "Xianbei invaded, and the fatuous Emperor Huan of Han still knew how to send troops to fight back, but what about Liu Jiyu? He was as stupid as a fool. Under the leadership of this man, Yizhou had What future?"

"What do you mean?" Meng Da looked at Zhang Song seriously, and the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly seemed serious.

"Xian, Chu, Yi, Zhou, are the steps for us to advance into the world!"

Zhang Song's words are astonishing. What he just said was obviously used to deceive Liu Zhang, but his real intention was

"In today's world, those who have the strength to rule the world are none other than the general and Cao Cao. The general has more soldiers than Cao Cao in Guangyuan, and it borders Yizhou. If we are looking for a future, who can we replace the general?"

Zhang Song eagerly took Meng Da's hand: "Zidu, don't you want to serve under the Ming Lord and show off what you have learned?"

Meng Da said worriedly: "I'm afraid this matter will be exposed and my family will be endangered."

"Haha, when the general pacifies Hanzhong, we will secretly send people to pick up the family members, and then raise our troops to respond to the general. By then, glory and wealth will be just a matter of seconds." Zhang Song said with a smile.

"But..." Meng Da said worriedly: "What if Liu Zhang really listens to Zhang Ren's words and burns down the plank road so that the general cannot enter?"

"Hey, look, what is this?"

Zhang Song smiled proudly, took out a scroll from his sleeve, and then unfolded it gently.

"Is this?" Meng Da was shocked and opened his mouth.
