Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 66 Alliance
In Jiangling City, a night banquet is being held.

There were not many people at this banquet, only a few people.

Liu Biao, who was at the head, looked at Zhang Song and Xi Su who were raising their glasses to him. He also raised his glass with a smile and drank with them.

After drinking a glass of fine wine that was fragrant and fragrant, Liu Biao felt that the wine that entered his throat was not very interesting, and even a little tasteless. At this moment, he sighed softly in his heart, with two meanings mixed in his sigh.

The first is to lament Zhang Song's talent and courage. This envoy from Yizhou has unparalleled eloquence. It is difficult for anyone in Jingxiang to compete with him. He also seems to have a photographic memory.

In the daytime today, Zhang Song had a disagreement and resigned. As he walked towards the oil cauldron, there was no trace of flinching or panic. If he hadn't called the warriors to stop him, Zhang Song would have really jumped off the oil cauldron.

Not only Zhang Song was so courageous, but the captain who followed him named Xi Su Xi Zizheng was also very courageous. When Xi Su saw Zhang Song about to jump into the oil cauldron, he followed Zhang Song and also walked towards the oil cauldron without hesitation. , actually wanted to enter the oil cauldron together.

'There are so many loyal and righteous people in Yizhou. '

Figures like Zhang Song and Xi Su, who were loyal to their subjects and forgot about life and death, were probably few in number under his rule, but Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou, sent two at a time.

The second is to lament Liu Zhang. Rumors say that the new Yizhou shepherd is a gentle man and can't do anything. But now he has put an end to the turmoil in Bajun in ten days. He is very generous when he makes a move, and he can win over the scholars, allowing Zhang Song and Loyal ministers and righteous men like Xi Su were enamored of him, and devoted themselves to his service regardless of life or death.

It’s no wonder that the officials in Yizhou elected Liu Zhang to succeed him as the pastor of Yizhou. He was indeed a wise man. Liu He thought that people like Liu Zhang were easy to bully, but this time he lost his life.

'A good son born to Liu Junlang (Yan). '

As a pair of enemies who were neighbors to Liu Yan, he couldn't help but compare his own sons. After comparing them, he felt worried about his eldest son Liu Qi.

After thinking for a while, Liu Biao called Zhang Song's name affectionately and explained to Zhang Song: "Ziqiao, what happened in Bajun was really not my intention. It was just Liu He who made his own decisions and acted arbitrarily."

"I originally sent him to mourn, but I didn't want him to harbor evil intentions. He actually colluded with bandits and intended to rebel."

"Even if he dies, he cannot atone for his sins."

He also agreed in his heart that Yizhou wanted to make peace.

Although he apparently controlled thousands of miles of territory and carried hundreds of thousands of armor, he only shared it with the Cai family, Kuai family and other Jingxiang clans.

The only places in the entire Jingxiang land that really obeyed him were Nanjun, Jiangxia and other major counties. As for the Jingnan land, clan thieves were everywhere, and the county chiefs only submitted in name, but rebelled from time to time.

In this case, he was too defensive and not aggressive enough. What's more, most of the Jingxiang clan wanted stability and did not want to cause trouble.

He is also old and has lost his former ambitions. He did not get involved in such important events as the heroes' challenge to Dong, and his eldest son Liu Qi is not a talented person.

Being able to sit in Jingxiang and hold my beloved wife Cai in my arms is enough for this life.

Hearing this, Zhang Song put down his wine glass, smiled, raised his hand to Liu Biao and said, "Liu Jingzhou is the elder of the clan. Although the two families have old grudges, they still send people to mourn. The deceased is the most important."

"I just hate that Liu He has done evil and has bad intentions, and has caused the two families to fight."

"Although my lord has stationed troops in Baidi, he is just a man under his tent. Since Jingzhou is in mourning period, he has no reason to stir up troubles and is angry. Therefore, the crowd is excited and persuades my lord to send troops to Jingzhou."

"But my lord knew that it was not Jingzhou's true intention, so he did not engage in battle first. He sent me to ask."

Then Zhang Song opened his heart and revealed his true feelings: "My lord has a few words from his confidants before leaving, and I will tell Jingzhou now." "There are rice thieves Zhang Lu in the north of Shu, and there are old people in the south who are causing chaos, so we are really unable to send troops to Jingzhou. "

"And the land of Jingxiang is connected to the Central Plains in the north. Yuan Gongzhu (Shu) abandoned Nanyang last year, but who knows what thieves will spy on Jingzhou in the future. As for the south of Jingzhou, the clan thieves are causing trouble and are stationed everywhere."

"Today, both families have internal worries. If they work together, they will both benefit, and if they fight, they will both be hurt. Furthermore, we are both clans. If we raise our troops to attack each other, we will probably make the world laugh."

Liu Biao was a little emotional when he heard this. He sighed: "Liu Yizhou is a sincere person."

These words are all true. Why did he move the seat of Jingzhou from Jiangling to Xiangyang in the first year of Chuping? First, Xiangyang was the home county of the Cai family and Kuai family, and second, to resist Yuan Shu who was entrenched in Nanyang. At that time, he also expressed Yuan Shu was the governor of Nanyang and showed his kindness.

At that time, Yuan Shu sent Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian to attack Jingzhou several times. Jingzhou was almost overturned. If Sun Jian had not underestimated the enemy and died in an ambush by Huang Zu's tribe, without Sun Jian, Yuan Shu would be unable to compete with him for Jingzhou. Otherwise, how could he sit in Jingzhou.

He thought about it for a while, raised his glass to Zhang Song and said, "Liu Yizhou is so kind, so the two families should be on good terms and form an alliance and an oath."

"Although what happened to Liu He was not my intention, I should still apologize."

Such big things have been reduced to small things, small things have been reduced, and he can sit peacefully in Jingxiang again.
-
Chengdu Prefecture Mufu.

He was a little surprised by Zhao Wei, the German lieutenant general. Wang Shang, a farewell man who never communicated with him, actually invited him to meet today.

Although they were both from Yizhou and served as officials under the former Yizhou pastor Liu Yan, the two had little contact with each other and generally did not communicate much.

As for official matters regarding the army, Wang Shang, who stayed in Chengdu, usually discussed matters with Yang Huai, the general of the army, and Dong He, the army guard, but rarely discussed with him.

"General Zhao Zhonglang, some news came from Baishui Pass last night." Wang Shang, as the inviter, was the first to talk about business.

"Concerning the two captains Pang and Li, they have been under your command for a long time, so I invite you to come."

Hearing that Zhao Wei caught the key word, the news from Baishui Pass, about Pang Le and Li Yi, he suppressed the joy in his heart and asked calmly: "Did Zhang Sima agree to the two of them entering Yangping Pass and stationed there?" Hanzhong."

While feeling happy, he was also a little confused. If Pang Le and Li Yi entered Hanzhong, they would have informed him immediately, instead of him going to the Prefectural Mufu to get the news.

'There must be some change. ’ He shook off this idea. Zhang Lu’s mother was still in Chengdu and she didn’t dare to act rashly.

"No." Wang Shang looked a little heavy and explained the situation to Zhao Wei: "Pang and Li, two captains, broke up and fled to Baishui Pass."

"Zhang Lu raised his troops to attack, and there were Yiyi among them. The two captains Pang and Li were unable to resist. Colonel Pang was killed on the spot, and Captain Li disappeared without knowing where he was."

When Zhao Wei heard this, his expression was immediately stunned. Zhang Lu, a rice thief, didn't even want his mother. How dare he raise his troops to attack Pang Le and Li Yi sent by Chengdu.

'This is impossible. 'He couldn't believe the news from Wang Shang. How could this be possible? Zhang Lun could be so cruel that he wanted to occupy Hanzhong County and separate his own country regardless of his mother in Chengdu.

This time Pang Le and Li Yi went to defend Hanzhong, and it should go smoothly. Hanzhong should be in his hands.

Seeing that Zhao Wei's face was suspicious and slightly dull, Wang Shang coughed and said comfortingly: "General Zhao Zhonglang, although a defeated army came to report, we still don't know what the real situation is. Whether Colonel Pang and Lieutenant Li are alive or dead. , we need to send people to investigate.”

"Please rest assured, if there is any news, I will report it."
