Chapter 64 The Five Classics Chapters and Sentences are determined later
Zhang Song picked up the bamboo slips in front of him and read them one by one. He saw that the speed was very fast, with ten lines in one glance. He almost picked up a scroll and put it down in a few dozen breaths.

After a while, he read through the book "Five Classics Chapters and Verses" in front of him from cover to cover.

Liu Biao leaned forward slightly, hoping to see the surprised expression on Zhang Song's face who was reading "The Chapters and Verses of the Five Classics".

But things did not go as he wished. The expression he saw on Zhang Song's face was that he had become confused after picking up the first volume. Then, as he flipped through the volumes, Zhang Song's face became heavy. After reading the last volume Zhang Song, who was in a roll, actually raised his head and looked at him with strange eyes.

"What do you think, sir?" Liu Biao saw Zhang Song finish reading and asked about the feelings of the Yizhou envoy. He saw Zhang Song's expression was abnormal, and he had a bad feeling.

"Eh." Zhang Song sighed heavily, cupped his hands towards Liu Biao, and said with emotion: "Liu Jingzhou has been famous in the world since he was young, and was ranked among the 'Eight Talents'. He has famous works all over the country, but today he is bullied by Xiaoxiao. .”

"It's a good thing that this book has never been handed down to the world, otherwise Liu Jingzhou's reputation as a wise man would be destroyed in one day."

His words were full of disdain for Liu Biao, and the implication was that this "Five Classics Chapters and Verses" had tarnished Liu Biao's reputation.

"What do you mean?" Liu Biao frowned, his words were a little unkind, and he asked Zhang Song directly instead of addressing him as "sir."

This "Five Classics Chapters and Judgments" is his painstaking work compiled by Qi Wukai, Song Zhong and others. However, Zhang Song's expression showed disdain for this book, and his words contained unexpected references.

As the master of the land of Jingxiang, he has a territory of thousands of miles and carries more than [-] armors. Now that he is angry, everyone present holds their breath and is silent, not daring to make a sound.

Zhang Song, on the other hand, had a relaxed look on his face, not paying attention to the angry look on Liu Biao's face, and said bluntly: "Even a three-foot-old boy in Shu can recite this book secretly, so what is the meaning of 'Houting'?"

"This was written by an unknown person during the Warring States Period, and was commissioned by Qi and Song Dynasties. This book is only recited in Shu, otherwise how could it be hidden from Liu Jingzhou."

"So Songyan is lucky that this book has not been published, otherwise Liu Jingzhou would be known as stealing the book."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and the leader Liu Biao's face became even more gloomy.

Qi Wukai immediately stood up and scolded: "This is nonsense. This book is our hard work, how could it be written by an unknown person during the Warring States Period?"

Song Zhong also stood up. He was originally a Confucian scholar and said viciously: "Sir said that this book was written by an unknown person during the Warring States Period. Is there any clear evidence? If not, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do good today."

Listening to the scolding and curses coming from around him, Zhang Song said calmly: "If you don't believe me, you can try to recite it."

"If there is a word that is wrong, let me deal with it."

Hearing that Zhang Song dared to place such a big bet, Qi Wukai and Song Zhong looked at each other with some wavering in their eyes. Then Song Zhong stepped forward and gritted his teeth and said: "Then please sir, recite it."

Zhang Song put his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes, and while pacing slowly in the hall, he read the "Five Classics Chapters and Verses" from the beginning.

Qi Wukai and Song Zhong listened carefully, trying to catch some of Zhang Song's faults, but halfway through Zhang Song's reading, they realized that it was exactly what Zhang Song said, without any mistakes.

The two of them looked at each other with somewhat stunned expressions. Even if they recited it, they would probably not be able to make any mistakes.

They had some doubts. The exchange between their eyes suggested that there really was an unknown person from the Warring States Period who wrote the same book as them. Every word was exactly the same.

Soon, Zhang Song read to the end. Just as he said, he read it from beginning to end without making a single mistake.

Qi Wukai and Song Zhong shrank their heads, no longer as arrogant as when they questioned Zhang Song.

When Liu Biao, who was at the top, saw this situation, his face was as dark as water, and his silence was a bit scary.

The two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were also puzzled as to why Zhang Song could recite the "Five Classics Chapters and Verses" that had not been handed down to the world, and they were thinking rapidly about various possibilities.

Kuai Liang, who was still devoted to learning and knowledgeable, thought about a possibility. He sighed, stepped forward and saluted Zhang Song with his hands in his hands and said: "Sir, you have a photographic memory. You are truly a genius in the world!"

He had some admiration for Zhang Song, who was eloquent and had a photographic memory.

As for his ugly face and short stature, they are nothing compared to Zhang Song's talent. There are only a few talents like Zhang Song in the world. No wonder Liu Yizhou sent Zhang Song as an envoy.

As soon as Kuai Liang's words came out, everyone woke up, and Liu Biao, who had drooped eyelids, also brightened up and understood.At this point, no one from the Jingzhou civil and military circles present was able to argue with Zhang Song.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Song felt that it was time to get down to business, and raised his hand to Liu Biao and said: "My lord Liu Yizhou has something to give to Liu Jingzhou. I will show it to Liu Jingzhou on the spot, and I hope Liu Jingzhou will accept it."

After saying this, he pointed to the wooden box held by Xi Su who was waiting at the palace door.

Liu Biao nodded, and the two servants beside him immediately ran to the door of the palace, took the wooden box from Xi Su's hand, and then returned to the palace. One of them was holding the wooden box, and the other opened the wooden box.

The servant who opened the wooden box was a little panicked at the first moment when he opened the lid, but after all, he was the personal servant of Yizhou State Shepherd. His expression soon stabilized, and he cupped his hands and reported to Liu Biao, who looked up at him inquiringly: "Master's family. , is Liu Biejia’s head.”

As Liu Biao's personal servant, he naturally recognized the talkative Liu He in the wooden box. Although Liu He's head and face were frightened, he still recognized him based on his general outline.

Zhang Song took over the conversation without giving anyone a chance to react: "This man's surname is Liu Minghe, he calls himself Jingzhou Biejia, and he is causing trouble in our Shu land and causing turmoil."

"My lord Liu Yizhou will defeat this beast in ten days. Now he has an army of one hundred thousand and is stationed in Baidi."

"So I never went down the river to question Jingzhou because I had doubts in my heart. How could Liu Jingzhou, as the elder of the clan, do such an unjust thing during the period of mourning? Furthermore, when the beasts raised troops, there was no movement in Jingzhou. It’s not like we agreed to join forces to invade my Shu territory.”

"That's why I was sent here to ask whether it was the wolf's own initiative or Liu Jingzhou's plan."

"But since today's situation is so relaxed, there is no good courtesy, and there are many difficult questions. From this point of view, Liu He's matter is Liu Jingzhou's original intention."

Liu Biao was not surprised when he heard that Liu Zhang had given him Liu He's head. Liu He was defeated and died naturally.

What surprised him was Zhang Song's words. He and his subordinates, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, looked at each other with the same doubts in their eyes. Zhang Song did not intend to accuse Ba Jun, but gave him a plan to kill Ba Jun. The blame was placed on Liu He, deliberately giving Jingzhou a step down.

Zhang Song continued: "My Lord has a message before he leaves. If Liu Jingzhou has his true heart, I will send him a seven-character poem to Liu Jingzhou."

Then he read the seven words Liu Zhang gave him.

"Cha Ci Bai Di Caiyunjian."

This sentence is very simple, Zhang Yun and Liu Pan both understood it, it means colorful clouds in the morning, and then leaving Baidi City.

"A thousand miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day."

Kuai Yue was a little confused, why should we use the word 'Huan' when going from Yizhou to Jiangling, when it is more appropriate to use 'Zhi'.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up and he understood the deep meaning of Liu Zhang's sentence. Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang regarded Jiangling as his, and he only used the word "huan" when he returned home, returned home, and returned to his own home.

He also probably remembered Liu Zhang's place of origin. Liu Zhang's native place was Jiangxia, Jiangxia County in Jingzhou. The word "Huan" has a profound meaning.

"The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying."

Liu Xian, who was in charge, had an angry look on his face. He was calling them Jingxiang scholars as apes who could only make a lot of noise.

"The light boat has passed ten thousand mountains."

Han Song, who was working as a lieutenant, knew the profound meaning of this sentence without even thinking about it. What a light boat, I'm afraid it was the building boat and Mengchong coming from Yizhou along the river.

Having passed the Ten Thousand Mountains, it refers to the many passes in Jingzhou, which could not stop the army of Yizhou.

After reciting the seven words taught to him by Liu Zhang in a mellow tone, Zhang Song bowed his hands in salute to Liu Biao and said his words of resignation: "Now Liu Biao has set up a wok in Jingzhou, and treats him with hot oil. He must not use it. Song should be thrown into it."

After saying this, Zhang Song turned around and walked towards the oil cauldron outside the palace.

Xi Su at the palace gate heard Zhang Song's words. He had the courage to get close to Zhang Song when Zhang Song walked to the palace gate. Since Zhang Song wanted to jump on the oil cauldron, he naturally had to follow suit. It's just an oil cauldron. , without fear.
