Speaking of Zhang Songdao, four words "Zhang Song presents pictures" immediately come to mind.
Of course, it was still early at this time, and Zhang Song might not have the idea of changing the gate yet, so he naturally did not have the map to Sichuan in his hand, but Liu Zhang was a fool, and he would have this idea sooner or later.
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiu felt that it was better to give Zhang Song a better impression. When he had the opportunity in the future, he would be the first person he thought of.
However, with the successful development of the second-generation trebuchet, this seems to be no longer necessary.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xiu waved his hand: "Come here, change your clothes!"
After a while.
In the lobby of the General's Mansion.
Sitting at the top, Zhang Xiu looked at the person standing below with a strange expression: short in stature, with unkempt hair, black face, and tattered clothes. It looked like Jia Xu had picked up a beggar outside.
"Uncle, what is this?"
Without waiting for Jia Xu's reply, Zhang Song stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed: "Don't drive Zhang Song to Yizhou, let's meet the Marquis!"
"Ah~ Zhang Song, are you Zhang Song?" Zhang Xiu made a surprised expression.
In fact, how could he not know about the fire in VIP Restaurant, and he had already predicted who set it off. So far, everything that has happened has gone according to his plan.
"I'm so ashamed! Because of the fire in the restaurant, I burned down the replacement clothes. I came in a hurry and didn't have time to buy new ones, so I had to meet in a shabby way. Please forgive me, Lord Marquis!" Zhang Song spoke with a much lower posture, as if he had a dilapidated appearance. It's like blocking his own momentum.
"An ancient saying goes: People cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. How could I judge a person by his appearance? Moreover, with Ziqiao's talent, he is already an elite that cannot be ignored, and he is one of the most talented people in the world. Come and watch!" Zhang Xiu's tone was gentle.
Zhang Song felt warm in his heart and sat on the seat on his right.
Jia Xu sits on his left hand.
Zhang Xiu asked: "My wedding has been over for a few days, and other distinguished guests from the princes have already left. I wonder what is going on with Ziqiao staying here?"
Zhang Song: "Master Hou, Chang Shi, I wonder if Yan Pu can still stay in Chang'an?"
Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu's eyes met.
Zhang Song's words were knowingly asking Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu to admit that Yan Pu was in Chang'an.
Zhang Xiu nodded: "Yan Pu has important matters to discuss with me, so he stayed in Chang'an and is currently communicating with Jia Changshi. Does it mean that Zi Qiao also has important matters?"
Zhang Song: "What Yan Pu and the Marquis are discussing is about joining forces?"
Jia Xu said, "Why did Zi Qiao say this?"
Zhang Song: "Huh! That Zhang Lu abandoned his master and ceded the territory is really a traitor to the world. My master refused to listen to his instructions and went against the grain. Now he raises an army to meet my master in battle. It is really abominable and hateful. Mr. Marquis, sir Shi, is it worth dating a villain who has abandoned his master like this?"
Zhang Xiu smiled calmly and said nothing.
Jia Xu said: "I haven't considered whether we will have a deep friendship or not, but the conditions Zhang Lu gave us really give us no reason to refuse."
Zhang Song replied blurtly: "We can provide the same conditions that Zhang Lu can provide, or even more."
"Is this true?" Jia Xu asked.
"Dang...dang...really!" When the first word 'dang' blurted out, Zhang Song realized vigilantly that he seemed to have been fooled, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that there was no problem.
Zhang Xiu smiled mysteriously and said nothing.
Jia Xu said: "Zhang Lu's condition for our coalition is that as long as our coalition forces enter Chengdu, he will cede the land of Hanzhong to us."
"Impossible!" Zhang Song stood up in disbelief.
Jia Xu sat steadily on the chair and said with a smile: "How is this impossible? Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's biological mother and her family. This hatred is as deep as the abyss. How could he not avenge it? Furthermore, help him conquer Chengdu , if he wins Yizhou, Hanzhong will naturally be ours, why not?"
At this time, Zhang Song finally understood that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu had trapped Yan Pu inside and acted for themselves. Their goal was Hanzhong.
Compared to Zhang Xiu, he hoped that Zhang Lu would continue to occupy Hanzhong.
However, they wanted to avenge Zhang Lu's biological mother. They wanted to give up, but Zhang Lu would not agree. This forced Zhang Song to follow Zhang Xiu's wishes. Otherwise, when Zhang Xi and Zhang Lu join forces, Yizhou may No guarantee.
I can only abandon the car to save the handsome man.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Song shifted his gaze to Zhang Xiu's face and said with a smile: "Master Hou, Yizhou is naturally dangerous. Even if Master Hou and Zhang Lu's coalition forces, I don't have many weapons that can break through the pass of Yizhou!"
Zhang Xiu thought for a while, but didn't nod or answer. His eyes signaled him to continue.
Unable to wait for a positive answer, Zhang Song's momentum dropped a little: "Instead of joining forces with Zhang and Lu, how about joining forces with my lord, attacking from both sides, and defeating Hanzhong together. When the time comes, my lord will give Hanzhong to the Marquis?"
Hearing these words, Zhang Xiu's face showed a smile of success.
Jia Xu said: "No! I just made a good deal with Yan Pu to march south from Longyou and march into Chengdu. How can we betray our trust? No! No!"
Seeing Zhang Xiu's smile, Zhang Song breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his words had touched Zhang Xiu's heart, but before he could completely relax, Jia Xu's words lifted his heart again.
Putting on a sincere expression: "Jia Changshi, Zhang Lu is a man who has abandoned his master and betrayed his trust. How can you believe his words? Be careful and you will be harmed. It is better to cooperate with my master, and the land of Hanzhong can be obtained."
"That won't work!" Jia Xu still shook his head, "Even if Zhang Lu is a treacherous person, my lord is not. How can we just change the promised cooperation? Kuang Yanpu has not left Chang'an yet. If he betrays his trust, what will happen to me? Why do you have the face to see Yan Pu again?"
Zhang Song immediately realized that they wanted more.
Think about it again.
He said: "If you join forces with my lord, how about I, Chengdu, provide all the military supplies and food that the Marquis needs?"
Jia Xu looked at Zhang Song and said, "Is it possible that Zi Qiao is joking?"
Zhang Song: "How dare you joke?"
The plan succeeded, Zhang Xiu stood up with a smile: "Since Zi Qiao is full of sincerity, and because Zhang Lu has abandoned his master and betrayed his trust, he is a traitor, we have decided to cooperate with Liu Yizhou to defeat Hanzhong."
Zhang Song finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Mr. Hou, for your support."
Jia Xu said: "Since we are launching troops, Zi Qiao must have heard about our army's policy. Please send us the compensation for those who died in battle and military supplies as soon as possible."
Zhang Song grinned and said with a wry smile: "That's natural, that's natural."
Zhang Xiu burst out laughing and said, "I came here in a hurry, and I haven't had a banquet with Zi Qiao. Today's weather is just right for a banquet, so please come to the banquet and talk in detail."
When he came to the General's Mansion today, Zhang Song was prepared to be slaughtered, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiu to be slaughtered so ruthlessly. He not only wanted Hanzhong but also wanted them to provide food and grass, which really caused a lot of blood.
But for the sake of Yizhou's stability, Zhang Song gritted his teeth and accepted.
With a smile on his face, he followed Zhang Xiu into the banquet.
