Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 423 Wang Ping Zhang Song
The white clouds in the sky sway slowly with the little breeze, like strolling in the garden, unrestrained, but faintly revealing a sense of taking it for granted.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu guessed it right. The real purpose of Cao Cao's two feigned shots was Liu Zhang's land of abundance, Yizhou, a fertile land with natural dangers.

As early as when Cao Ren, Yang Xuangan and others led troops to attack Qiaojun, Cao Cao secretly increased his troops to Hanzhong.

Cao Jun hid in the mountains during the day to rest, and only traveled at night wearing the stars and the moon. The army moved secretly. Even though Wang Xuance was worried and vigilant, he still couldn't find anything unusual.

With the changes in the war in Runan, the four princes began to verbally criticize Liu Xie's strength, and even Wang Xuance gradually let go of his guard against Cao Jun, thinking that he was worrying about the sky and thinking wildly.

At just the right time, Meng Huo, the barbarian king of Nanzhong, led his subordinate Erlang to attack Yizhou. Liu Zhang was weak and incompetent. The elephant soldiers were defeated and fled in successive defeats.

Liu Zhang had no choice but to transfer his most trusted confidant Wang Xuance to Nanzhong, ordering him to lead the army to resist the invasion of the barbarians.

After Wang Xuance received the order, he also knew that the matter was urgent and dared not delay, so he hastily ordered his generals to guard Yangping Pass carefully and not let Cao Cao take advantage of it, so he immediately set off for Nanzhong to quell the chaos.

The general who replaced Wang Xuance at Yangping Pass was called Wang Ping. He was from Tangqu, Brazil. Because he was adopted by someone surnamed He when he was a child, he was also called He Ping. He returned to his original surname Wang when he grew up.

This has therefore become a source of ridicule for him.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been the first, and even the body, hair, and skin are subject to his parents, and he changed his surname in the middle, so it is conceivable how he will be attacked and laughed at by the family members.

Because of this, Wang Ping has never been reused by Liu Zhang. Although he is quite talented, he is only a captain of the city gate.

It wasn't until later that he was appreciated by Wang Xuance that Wang Ping was promoted all the way to his current position.

Wang Ping was very grateful to Wang Xuance, his family, for his support and support, but he hated the official family groups in Yizhou and Shu.

He spoke very little, his expression was indifferent, like a piece of ice, and he refused to communicate from the inside to the outside.

As soon as Wang Xuance left, Wang Ping stepped up his guard according to his orders, and even sent scouts to watch out for movements in Hanzhong. He had to go on patrol every night before going to rest.

But such days soon changed, and Wang Ping's life took a huge twist because of it.

On that day, a middle-aged man with a rather ugly face but a very handsome temperament came in from Yangping Pass.

"The general holds a heavy army and suppresses a dangerous place. It seems majestic, but I don't know if it can wash away the humiliation of the past?"

The middle-aged man was of extraordinary status, and was invited into the mansion by Wang Ping. He turned away from the left and right, sat and drank tea, and started a conversation.

"Zhang Yongnian, what is your intention in saying this? Are you trying to expose my scars and see my jokes, or are you trying to drive a wedge between my monarch and his ministers?"

Wang Ping's heart was shocked, he stood up, and yelled at the middle-aged man in front of him, that is, Zhang Song, the Biejia from Yizhou.

Zhang Song was not in a hurry, still calm and composed, and continued to speak slowly: "The general's words have wronged me. With the general's intelligence, how could he not know that Liu Zhang is just a man relying on his father's shade?" How can a person without virtue and incompetence be regarded as loyal to the Ming Lord? The so-called phoenix should not be a sycamore. It cannot be washed away. Even the general's talent, in the eyes of those people, is nothing more than a barking dog guarding their nobility."

"Shut up, you're not afraid that I'll expose Liu Zhang and punish you for such outrageous remarks?"

Wang Ping still asked coldly, but gradually sat back.

"Today's words can come out of my mouth and into your ears. You and I feel sorry for each other, why bother to fight with each other and let those who think they are extraordinary laugh?"

Zhang Song seemed to have thought of something that was difficult to look back on. Sadness came from his heart and he couldn't help but sigh.

The Zhang family that Zhang Song belongs to is considered a powerful family in Yizhou. Logically speaking, it should be two extremes with a lowly status like Wang Ping.

However, Zhang Song was disliked by his parents when he was a child because of his ugly face, and was laughed at by outsiders when he grew up. Although he was born into a noble family, his situation was not much better than that of Wang Ping.

However, Zhang Song has a strong knowledge of books since he was a child, and he has a photographic memory, so he reads the books at home, and his knowledge is the best in Yizhou.

It's a pity that this didn't change Zhang Song's situation. He reluctantly took up the post of Biejia. It was because Liu Yan knew that he had talent before he died, and he was promoted temporarily because he was afraid that Liu Zhang would not be available.

Liu Zhang was cronyist, and although he respected his late father's decision, he didn't like it.

Therefore, Liu Zhang will think of Zhang Song first when it takes time and hard work, such as going to Cao Cao as an envoy.

It's not because he appreciates Zhang Song's talent, but because after Zhang Song is transferred from Chengdu, he can out of sight and out of mind.

"In the past, Han Xin, who was humiliated by a common man, was still able to realize his shame and be brave. In the end, his life was ambushed on all sides, and he was besieged on all sides. His faith forced Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, to also lose Gaixia and kill himself in Wujiang. Such a hero is you and me. should be emulated."

Seeing that Wang Ping didn't speak, Zhang Song continued.

Wang Ping shook his head and said with a sneer: "My ability is mediocre, how dare you compare yourself with the Marquis of Huaiyin. Besides, if you really want to imitate the Marquis of Huaiyin, but now you want to rebel against the descendants of his master Gaozu, isn't it a big joke?"

Zhang Song also laughed loudly when he heard the words: "I'm afraid the general was wrong. At the beginning, Han Xin was the first to seek refuge in Xiang Yu. It was because he was not reused by Xiang Yu that he switched to Gaozu. In the end, he broke Xiang Yu's invincible reputation with his own efforts. Isn’t this experience the same as yours and mine? Besides, it’s a pity that Han Xingong Gao Zhenzhu died in a muddle in the end, and we are actually giving him a sigh of relief by switching to Mingzhu now.”

Wang Ping couldn't help being taken aback, this piece of pine was really quick-witted and eloquent, even if it was black, he could say it was white.

Wang Ping pondered for a while, and then said: "Tell me, what do you want to do after such a long talk. If you want to betray Liu Zhang, I, Wang Ping, don't want to control it, and I can't control it. But I promised the general to guard Yangping Pass, so I will talk about it." Do it, and never waver.”

Zhang Song's complexion could not help but change slightly, he did not expect Wang Ping to be so persistent.

His trip was for Yangping Pass.
