The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 288
Zhang Song rested in Xiangyang for one night. The next day, Zhang Wu sent Zhang Fei to escort Zhang Song out of Jingzhou.Along the way, Zhang Fei listened to Zhang Song's story about how he ridiculed Cao Cao for being all sycophants when he was in Xudu, and also laughed at Cao Cao's embarrassment when he was defeated several times. Zhang Fei was very happy to hear this.

After Zhang Song returned to Yizhou, he first called his two good friends, Fazheng and Mengda, and told them that he had secretly joined Zhang Wu.

Fazheng was from Fufeng, who is now Baoji, Shaanxi.In the early years of Jian'an, due to the famine in the world, Fazheng and his friend Meng Da from the same county went to Shu to attach to Liu Zhang, because there was basically no war in Yizhou, and everyone could still have food.

However, outstanding talents from big families like Fazheng are not just satisfied with food and clothing. After solving the problem of food and clothing, they also want to become officials.But Liu Zhang was not a master who was good at using people. It took a long time for Fazheng to become a county magistrate, but he was often excluded by the local faction.

Although Fazheng is indeed capable, he also has a certain temperament, especially a clear distinction between grudges and grudges, and he must retaliate.Whoever treated him well and took care of him, he would try his best to repay; on the contrary, if anyone offended him, he would retaliate, but now he has no power in his hands, and can only temporarily hold grudges.

This kind of person has suffered so many grievances in Yizhou for so many years, and he has long been dissatisfied. Now that Zhang Song has taken refuge in the invincible Zhang Wu, he is of course very happy to take them on board.

Meng Da was also from a famous family. His father had served as the governor of Liangzhou. This man also had some talents. Although he was not as good as Fazheng, he was both civil and military and could lead troops to fight. At this time, he was not reused in Yizhou.

Zhang Wu is no longer the warrior he once was as a thief.On martial arts, the whole world knows that the world is invincible; on essays, he prints books and spreads knowledge to the world, and speaks "Four Sentences of Lumen", so he is known as the "sage of the world".Moreover, everyone knew that Zhang Wu had a broad mind and never got angry when his subordinates contradicted him. He knew people well and never appointed his subordinates based on their close relationship or origin.

Fazheng and Mengda also admired Zhang Wu very much, and since they wanted to join another boss, they had to choose someone with strong abilities and a bright future.In today's world, counting and counting, there are only two and a half bosses worth relying on, Cao Cao, Zhang Wu, and Sun Quan count as half.

As for Zhang Lu, Gongsun Yuan and others, they are not as good as Liu Zhang.

Now that Zhang Song has offended Cao Cao to death, who else can he go to besides Zhang Wu?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sun Quan has already set his sights since the Battle of Chibi.

Zhang Song told Zhang Wu and him the plan, and then arranged for Fazheng and Meng Da to help implement it together. Meng Da and Li Yan are buddies, and Zhang Song arranged for Meng Da to do Li Yan's work.

The next day, Zhang Song came to the State Shepherd's Mansion to ask Liu Zhang to see him, and reported to Liu Zhang how the mission was going and whether he was traveling at public expense under the name of a business trip.

"How are things going?" Liu Zhang asked.

Zhang Song said: "Cao Cao entrusted his name to Han Chancellor. In fact, the Han thieves already have the intention to usurp the world. It is unbelievable. I have found out that Cao Cao also has plans to attack Yizhou."

"If this is the case, what should we do?" Liu Zhang was a little anxious when he heard that Zhang Lu was going to attack Yizhou, so Liu Zhang was scared to death. If Cao Cao also wanted to occupy Yizhou, what should we do?

Zhang Song said: "My lord, don't worry, Song has a plan to make Zhang Lu and Cao Cao dare not offend Xichuan lightly."

Liu Zhang didn't believe it anymore. You told me last time that you could rest assured that there was a way to deal with Zhang Lu, but when you came back from a walk, not only did Zhang Lu not be dealt with, but you also brought worse news!

You still let me not worry this time?Another conspiracy?
But Liu Zhang himself didn't have any countermeasures, so he had to believe it again for the time being, so he asked, "What else do you have to do?".
Zhang Song said: "Zhang Wu in Jingzhou is invincible in the world. Even Cao Cao has been defeated by him many times, let alone Zhang Lu? My lord, why don't you send envoys to make friends and form foreign aid? Not only will Zhang Lu not dare to invade, but the two families will be safe." Join forces to fight against Cao Cao."

Liu Zhang also knew Zhang Wu's current prestige. Not only did he defeat Cao Cao many times, but he also defeated Sun Quan recently. It can be said that he is the most powerful prince besides Cao Cao.

If Zhang Wu is really willing to help, then Zhang Lu is really not enough.

However, although Liu Zhang wanted to hire foreign aid, why would they help you?

Liu Zhang asked: "I don't know Zhang Wusu, and I have had conflicts between Yizhou and Jingzhou before. Why is Zhang Wu willing to help me resist Zhang Lu?"

Zhang Song replied: "That all happened when Liu Biao was alive. Zhang Wu is the son-in-law of the emperor's uncle Liu Xuande. Liu Huangshu and the master are both clansmen of the Han Dynasty. The name of benevolence and righteousness is everywhere. The master can write a letter and send an envoy." Sending it off to Uncle Liu Huang, back then Uncle Liu Huang rushed thousands of miles to help Kong Rong, who had never met before, let alone the same clan?"

Liu Zhang was overjoyed. He also knew Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness. Since he and himself were part of the same family, it would be easy to handle.

"Who can serve as an envoy?"

"Illegal justice, Meng Da, you can't go there."

Liu Zhang immediately summoned Fazheng and Meng Da to come and wrote a letter, ordering Fazheng to be the envoy to go to Jingzhou to meet Liu Bei and Zhang Wu first, and then asked Meng Da to lead [-] elite troops to welcome Zhang Wu to Sichuan for reinforcements.

During the discussion, a person suddenly broke in from the outside, sweating all over his face, and shouted loudly: "If my lord listens to Zhang Song's words, then the 41 counties of Xichuan belong to others!"

Zhang Song looked at the man. He turned out to be from Zhongba, Xilang. His surname was Huang, his first name was Quan, and his courtesy name was Gongheng.But Zhang Song wasn't surprised or flustered at all, he just watched Huang Quan quietly and didn't speak.

Liu Zhang asked: "Why did Gongheng say this?"

Huang Quan said: "Although that Zhang Wu is famous, he is also an ambitious man. He was born as a thief in Xiangyang, and he occupied Jingzhou in just a few years. How can he be a good man? His subordinates Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Kuai Yue, and Zhuge Liang are all wise and resourceful. Your generation, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, etc. are all powerful generals in the world. If Zhang Wu leads his army into Shu and suddenly wants to annex them, how will my lord respond!"

"Well, I heard that Zhang Wu is Uncle Liu's son-in-law. I and Uncle Liu belong to the Han clan. How could Zhang Wu harm me?"

Huang Quan said disdainfully, "Liu Biao and Liu Bei belong to the same clan of the Han family. Now Jingzhou can be named Liu? The two Yuan brothers are not compatible, let alone the same clan?"

Liu Zhang asked again: "If Zhang Lu and Cao Cao come to attack, how can we resist?"

"The road to Shu is difficult, and the mountains and rivers are dangerous. As long as we close the border and fortify ourselves, with deep ditches and high fortifications, the enemy will surely retreat."

"Thieves and soldiers invade the country, and there is an urgent need. If you wait for the enemy to retreat by itself, it is like a house on fire and wait for the fire to go out by itself. Is there any reason for this?"

Liu Zhang was unwilling to listen to Huang Quan's suggestion, mainly because the hatred between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu was too deep, and Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother and family.No matter who comes to attack Yizhou, Liu Zhang can surrender and save his life, but Zhang Lu can't.
