Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 454 Jingzhou messenger

Zhang Yi left the south gate of Chengdu, and did not take a remote path, but ran eastward along the official road. In the hinterland of Bashu, Zhang Song was very powerful. He had a token of Zhang Song on his body, and no one dared to make things difficult for him.

Only in remote places, Zhang Yi would be more vigilant, especially in Padang County, he even considered dressing up as a small businessman to cross the county, but at least now he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Zhang Yi galloped all the way to the southeast, and when it was almost dawn, he arrived at a small town, Songlin Town. It was named after a pine forest stretching for more than ten miles behind the town, and it was already under the jurisdiction of Qixian County in Dongguanghan County. , but the local conditions and customs in this area are no different from those in Chengdu.

Zhang Yi bought dry food in a small shop, filled a pot of water and continued on his way. The owner told him that he must arrive in Wucheng within three days. The time was very tight and he had to travel day and night. Run towards the county.

Passing through the small town, you entered the pine forest area. A wide official road crossed the entire pine forest. It was early in the morning, and the pine forest was very quiet, and there were almost no pedestrians on the official road.

After walking for about two miles, Zhang Yi saw a resting pavilion beside the road, so he got off his horse and led the horse towards the pavilion. He needed to let the horse rest and eat something before he could continue on his way.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly felt a gust of wind above his head. Before he could react, a black figure jumped down from the pine tree and knocked him to the ground from his horse. Zhang Yi was shocked and turned to get up. Several men in black came up and pressed him to the ground. A big man knocked him unconscious with a knife handle, tied his hands and feet, gagged his mouth with rags, and put him in a cloth bag.

At this time, a man in black handed the oiled paper bag found on Zhang Yi to the man who jumped down from the tree. This man was Sima Yi's personal bodyguard Yang Shun. The famous men followed Zhang Yi, and they took a small road to catch up with Zhang Yi.

Yang Shun saw that Zhang Yi hadn't rested and ate all the way, so he guessed that he would rest in this gazebo. Sure enough, Yang Shun guessed right. Yang Shun took the oiled paper bag and opened it to see that it was exactly what the master told him to take. Head, "Take him away!" [

The crowd threw Zhang Yi on horseback, quickly left the pine forest by another path, and ran towards Chengdu

As soon as night fell, Sima Yi got Zhang Song's autographed letter and album, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed, especially this album made him overjoyed, even Pang Xi and Dong He couldn't get such important military secrets, this is simply a godsend opportunity.

Sima Yi copied two copies of this album overnight, found Yang Shun, handed him a letter from himself, and told him: "Wucheng is strictly searched, and it may be difficult to go alone. You can go with the Yun family business." Go with the team, so that you can cover up, remember! Be sure to hand over this album and letter to Zhou Mu, and tell Zhou Mu that I am very safe in Shuzhong, please don’t worry.”

"Subordinates remember!"

Yang Shun took the album and the letter and hid them close to his body. At this time, the Yun family caravan consisted of dozens of people and more than 300 mules and horses, loaded with valuables such as Sichuan brocade, and was ready to set off. Yang Shun disguised himself as a clerk and followed the caravan Leaving Chengdu, headed south in a mighty way.

After Yang Shun was arranged to deliver the letter, Sima Yi went to Dong He's mansion immediately.

Dong He is Dong Yun's father. He was originally a Chengdu magistrate. Liu Zhang disliked his son Dong Yun because he served in Jingzhou. However, Dong He was the leader of Dongzhou scholars and was very popular. He was demoted and appointed as the prefect of Shu County.

The most important city in Shu County is Chengdu. Chengdu is under the jurisdiction of the Chengdu Order. The jurisdiction includes several nearby counties, which basically coincide with the northern part of Shu County. As a result, the actual jurisdiction of Shu County is only a small piece of land in the south. High, but with little authority.

Early in the morning, Dong He hurriedly walked towards the state office. Although he didn't want to do some things, he knew in his heart that for the sake of the overall situation, he had to break the boat, and the Dongzhou faction had been persecuted by the Bashu native faction for a long time. .

Dong He quickly came to Liu Zhang's official room and reported to the guards. After a while, the guards led him in, and saw Liu Zhang sitting at the table reviewing documents. Dong He came forward to salute, "My minister will see the state shepherd!"

"Is Governor Dong okay?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile.

Dong He took out the oiled paper bag, handed it to the guards, bowed and said: "Qi Zhou Mu, the Shu County thief Cao found a suspicious person when he was arresting the thief, captured this person, and found this from him. It's so important, I dare not hide it."

"What is it?"

Liu Zhang was a little surprised, opened the oiled paper bag, and took out the picture book and Zhang Song's letter to Liu Bei from it. He flipped through the picture book, and couldn't help being surprised, how could such an important military secret be spread out.

He read the letter again, and suddenly flew into a rage, and slapped the table heavily, "What a Zhang Song, he dared to betray me, colluded with Liu Bei and betrayed Bashu, he deserved death!"

Dong He said again: "The sender has explained everything, does Zhou Mu want to see him?"

"Where is this person?"

"Just outside, held in a carriage."

Liu Zhang ordered with a dark face, "Take him to the execution room to see me!"

Not long after, several yamen guards escorted Zhang Yi into the execution room and tied him to an iron pillar. At this time, Liu Zhang walked over slowly. Confidant guard: "Do you know this person?"

The guard nodded, "It seems to be Zhang Biejia's stable boy."

Liu Zhang snorted coldly and asked, "Where did Zhang Song order you to go?"

Zhang Yi was beaten to the point of collapse, he had already confessed everything, and now he didn't dare to hide it in front of Liu Zhangman, he said with strength: "Master ordered me to go to Wucheng, and asked me to send some things."

Liu Zhang waved the oiled paper wrap in front of him, "Is this it?"

"Here it is. Inside is a letter and a booklet."

Murder intent shot out in Liu Zhang's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Song, I have treated you well, how dare you betray me!"

He turned his head and shouted: "Arrest Zhang Song's family, not a single one will be left behind!"

Half an hour later, thousands of soldiers surrounded Zhang Song's mansion, and arrested Zhang Song and his family with more than three hundred people, old and young. General, led an army of 5000 people to garrison Badong County to prevent Liu Bei from entering Badong from Wucheng.

At this moment, when Liu Ba reported, Liu Jing's envoy had arrived in Chengdu and asked to see Yizhou Zhou Mu.

Liu Jing's emissary was naturally Sima Yi. When he learned that Liu Zhang had ordered Zhang Song to be killed and Zhang Song's head fell to the ground, Sima Yi knew it was time for him to appear.

When Sima Yi was sent to Bashu by Liu Jing's order, they knew nothing about the internal situation in Bashu, so Liu Jing only gave him an order to destroy the alliance between Liu Zhang and Liu Bei.

After arriving in Bashu, Sima Yi gradually learned about the inside story of Bashu's officialdom. After several months of hard work, he finally persuaded the Dongzhou scholars to turn to support Liu Jing. This is Sima Yi's greatest contribution.

At the same time, it was Sima Yi's second contribution to expose the collusion between Zhang Song and Liu Bei, to expose Liu Bei's ambition to plot Xichuan to the world, and to successfully provoke Liu Zhang's hatred of Liu Bei and suspicion of the local factions in Bashu.

With these two credits, Sima Yi can be said to have successfully completed the important task that Liu Jing entrusted to him, but Sima Yi knows that Liu Jing actually gave him the right to dispose of Bashu completely, allowing him to implement the Bashu strategy according to his own wishes.

So Sima Yi cherished this opportunity of being in power very much, and he wanted to let Liu Jing's plan to seize Bashu be completed according to his own ideas.

This is also a great opportunity to establish his position in Jingzhou. Jia Xu's contribution is to assist Liu Jing in winning the Chibi War and reunifying Jingzhou. Then his contribution is to capture Bashu. In Sima Yi's plan, he persuaded Liu Zhang to cooperate with Liu Jing to wipe out the Liu Bei can be said to be the highlight.

Sima Yi waited for a while on the square outside the main hall of the prefectural office, and then a guard led him into the main hall. Sima Yi knew that the main hall is usually the place to host the New Year's ceremony or receive imperial envoys, but Liu Zhang actually received him in the main hall, which shows that Liu Zhang attached great importance to Jingzhou.

It's no wonder that last year Liu Zhang was afraid of Cao Cao's westward expedition, so he specially sent Fazheng to Nanyang to meet Cao Cao with a cowardly attitude, but now Jingzhou has defeated Cao Jun and Jiangdong and has become the strongest in the south. Therefore, it is reasonable for Liu Zhang to be afraid of Jingzhou.

Sima Yi walked into the main hall with his head held high and his chest held high. Liu Zhang came out to greet him, and said with a deep salute, "I heard that Sima's army division has arrived in Chengdu. Liu Zhang didn't entertain you well and neglected you. I hope you can forgive me."

Sima Yi chuckled, "The scenery in the middle of Sichuan is the best in the world. I happen to have time to enjoy the scenery in the middle of Shu. I am very happy. The state shepherd does not need to blame himself. Sima Yi has no intention of blaming the state shepherd."

Seeing that he was good at talking, Liu Zhang was very happy, so he hurriedly introduced all the ministers from Bashu, Wu Yi, Zhang Ren, Dong He, Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Li Hui, Liu Ba, Fazheng and other general military officers and ministers for him. He has two sons, the eldest son Liu Xun and the second son Liu Wei.

Sima Yi smiled and greeted everyone one by one. After a few greetings, they surrounded Liu Zhang and Sima Yi and entered the hall.

The ministers were seated on two sides, but Sima Yi and Liu Zhang sat on the "chairman" seat. At this time, a group of maids came in to offer wine. After everyone drank two glasses of wine, Liu Zhang laughed and said, "I heard that my brother defeated Cao Jun in Chibi. At that time, I didn't sleep all night, I was very happy, I just wished I could meet my brother immediately, and express our brotherly love."

In fact, Liu Zhang and Liu Jing are indeed very close in blood. They are both descendants of King Lu Gong of the Han Dynasty, and both of them are of the same generation, so Liu Zhang called Liu Jing his younger brother.

But in fact, the relationship between Liu Zhang and Liu Biao is very bad. Jianping County and Yidu County originally belonged to Yizhou.

But at this time Liu Biao has passed away, Liu Jing has risen, and Liu Zhang doesn't want to mention the past. Sima Yi also knows it well, and he said with a smile: "My lord often said that his greatest wish is to get together with brother Yizhou. It is a pity that we have never had the opportunity to talk about the family relationship in the Han Dynasty.”

At this time, someone nearby suddenly said coldly: "There are rumors that Liu Jingzhou is not Liu Biao's nephew. May I ask Mr. Sima, is this rumor true or false?"

Everyone was shocked and looked back together, who is so bold?
