Chapter 1296 Reception
Five days later, Zhang Song came to the border of Xiangyang, and Ma Chao went out of the city for two hundred miles to meet him.

Along the way, it can be said that the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of rituals and music, and the treatment are very grand.Ma Chao was in front of all the officials in Jingzhou, he only felt that he was the first in his life to be treated like this, even though he died nine times, he was content.

The effect was indeed unexpectedly good. When Ma Chao saw Zhang Song dismounted holding the talisman, he clearly saw the surprise and excitement in Zhang Song's eyes.However, I have to mention that Zhang Song's appearance is really unflattering. He is short and thin, but he is wearing a long robe, which looks very funny.A forehead is as narrow at the top as a hoe and wide at the bottom, the bridge of the nose is sunken, and the buck teeth are exposed, especially the two mustaches, which give people a wretched feeling.

However, fortunately, he was mentally prepared in advance, and Ma Chao also knew that Zhang Song was well-informed and extremely talented.Therefore, not only did he not show any contempt, on the contrary, he greeted Zhang Song just as he got off his horse, and before Zhang Song saluted, he grabbed Zhang Song's hand and said, "Yongnian, Chao heard about you when he was in Chang'an." In the name of talent, thousands of mountains and rivers are far apart, and we have never met each other. Today, you visited Xiangyang and finally solved my cloudy thoughts. It is very fortunate!"

In the capacity of King Ma Chaoyong, if he said such words that could be regarded as flattering, it would be possible for ordinary people to bow down and bow.However, seeing Ma Chao's enthusiasm, Zhang Song's excitement when he got off the horse was wiped away, his eyes stared vigilantly, and he said with some embarrassment: "King Yong, don't come here for entertainment, let go of yourself, and know in your heart. "

Although Zhang Song is short in stature, he has an extremely high voice.If ordinary people say this, coupled with a humble smile, it can also be regarded as a joke and self-effacing words.But Zhang Song's bull eyes stared, his neck stiffened, and his voice sounded like an argument. It was really hard for people to connect what he said just now with a joke.

The faces of Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and other civil officials in Jingzhou beside Ma Chao all showed displeasure on their faces, but after a moment of surprise, Ma Chao said in amazement: "What are you talking about Yongnian? Father Fa Xiaozhi asked me several times. Recommending Yongnian, Xu Shao from Runan also said that you are a talented person in the world, you have the talent of never forgetting, and you can remember it all the time, but it is a pity that Yongnian has already joined Liu Yizhou's command. Although I have admired it for a long time, I can only hide it in my heart. , we must have a good talk!"

I don't know if Ma Chao's words are too real, or his expression is too realistic.Seeing Ma Chao's sincerity, Zhang Song's expression gradually softened, as if he believed that Ma Chao really admired him.Then he cupped his hands and bowed, and said in a harmonious voice: "King Yong is a world-class hero, and Song Zai also admires him very much. Seeing King Yong is so respectful and virtuous today, he is really a generation of virtuous kings!"

"Yongnian, please!" Ma Chao accepted Zhang Song's gift with a smile. He knew that the necessary bottom line must be carefully grasped.Zhang Song is too shrewd and too proud of his talents. Once he appears too humble, he will definitely see that he has something in his heart.

"King Yong, please!" Zhang Song also extended his hand and smiled all over his face, as if he had completely let go of his guard against Ma Chao.

"Let's go together!" Ma Chao grabbed Zhang Song's hand and brought him to his chariot.

This six-horse chariot is the most luxurious chariot that princes and kings can ride.The exterior decoration is extremely luxurious, and the six healthy horses are also good Xiliang horses. They are all snow-white without any variegation, and they are very handsome.In the previous life, this kind of luxury car is more fashionable than Maserati and Ferrari.After all, in this era, you can't just sit around if you have money-the strict feudal etiquette stipulates that only the princely level can be driven by six horses.And this time Ma Chao let Zhang Song ride in the luxury car with him, which really gave Zhang Song enough face.

Zhang Song couldn't bear this series of sugar-coated shells.Along the way, I talked and laughed happily with Ma Chao, talking about the local conditions and customs in central Sichuan, and occasionally talking about the strategy of the Ma family's six states to take off.It wasn't until this time that Ma Chao realized that Zhang Song had indeed been wronged by Liu Zhang: This guy is really talented!

Ma Chao dare not say that he is a person who loves talents, but people with skills are indeed respected wherever they go.Zhang Song was unlucky in history because he met Cao Cao, who was more capable than him, and teased Cao Cao with his cleverness, which made Cao Cao look down on Zhang Song very much.However, Ma Chao has no such scruples. He never thought that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with these guys who have left their names in history.

As a result, in the county guard's mansion, the banquet, which was intended to be a play, turned into a chat between Ma Chao and Zhang Song.Ma Chao set the tone for the banquet. Although Zhang Song was arrogant, the Jingzhou gentry still flattered Zhang Song.All of a sudden, everyone in the hall recited poems, composed Fu, and talked about the strategy of governing the country. The losers of the debate automatically drank willingly, and the winners of the debate also toasted to accompany each other. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

When the wine was at its peak, Ma Chao was a little tipsy. Looking at the scene in front of him, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was young and drinking with his friends in his previous life.Unknowingly, he leaned his body back slightly, raised his legs and straightened his legs, and listened to the people in the hall talking comfortably.It's just that he didn't know that what he was doing at this time was already a bit of a wild move.

Zhang Song glanced at Ma Chao, and saw that everyone in the hall was not surprised by this.For a moment, not only did he not feel Ma Chao's arrogance, but he was also a free and easy person like him, so he couldn't help but smile a little, and raised his glass to toast.

Ma Chao didn't know why Zhang Song was respecting him, but felt that Zhang Song's smile was very friendly, and immediately leaned forward, picked up the cup, held it flat with both hands, raised it slightly, and drank it down in one gulp.

The taste of the wine was clear, spicy and mellow, and Ma Chao smacked his lips, still wanting more.He tasted that this is a high-quality old Ma family wine, which is not easy to get.Just as he was about to take advantage of this opportunity to chat with Zhang Song again, he heard someone in the hall shout loudly: "Xu Jun! You have always been called a national scholar, but now the Han Dynasty is in ruins, and the emperor has the support of King Yong to stand up. All the gentlemen here hope that you can worry about the country and forget your home, and have the ambition to save the world and help the people. But you only know how to ask for the land, and you don’t have a word that can be put on the table. This is exactly what Chen Yuanlong, who has great ambitions, despises. How could he talk to you?! If it was me at the time, I would have slept on a hundred-foot-high building and let you lie on the ground, so why would you talk about getting in and out of bed!"

Ma Chao was about to cast his eyes there, only to see Liu Bei get up abruptly, pointing at someone like a sword.The man became furious and speechless, and immediately looked at Ma Chao.

At this moment, Ma Chao sobered up, and suddenly remembered this allusion in history. It was said that Xu Si, a famous person in Liu Biao's account, said that Chen Deng in Xuzhou was arrogant. He once passed by Xiapi and met Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong.Chen Deng had no way to treat guests, he didn't even talk to him, he was lying on the big bed by himself, but Xu Si was sleeping on the bed.

In fact, Xu Si concealed something in his narration, concealing the topics he discussed with Chen Deng at that time, which was the key factor why he was despised by Chen Deng.Liu Bei and Chen Deng even made friends. Liu Bei, who was always happy and angry, saw Xu Si slandering Chen Deng so much, and immediately complained about Chen Deng and scolded Xu Si.From this, there is an additional story of "seeking fields and asking houses" in Chinese historical idioms.

But at this time things happened without warning, Ma Chao felt a little strange.Turning to look at Liu Bei, I saw that Liu Bei was still furious, but he clasped his fists in shame and pleaded guilty to Ma Chao and others: "Bei got angry for a while, and offended King Yong and everyone, I hope you will forgive me, forgive me."

"Although Chen Yuanlong is a man of sea and lake, he is famous all over the world. Although Song Song has lived in Sichuan and Shu for a long time, he still admires Chen Yuanlong, a hero with both civil and military skills and outstanding courage. This person can only be found among the ancients, and there are few people in today's world. It can be compared with it. You are a chatterer, a fame-seeking person, and you have spent half your life in vain, yet you still have the face to criticize Chen Yuanlong here, and get reprimanded by Mr. Xuande, you really deserve to be blamed!"

This was said by Zhang Song, after he finished speaking, besides his face of anger, he seemed to be complacent, and finally took a look at Liu Bei, raised a glass of wine, and signaled Liu Bei to drink it.

Until this time, Ma Chao finally came to his senses.Just when Liu Bei raised his glass and wanted to drink, he said leisurely with some disdain: "Although Xu Qing is biased, but Chen Deng from Xuzhou is just a cowardly person, but he thinks very highly of himself. Such a second-rate person, why not be judged by me, Jingzhou Junyan?..." After finishing speaking, Ma Chao glanced sideways at Liu Bei, and the mighty anger in his eyes was obvious.

And Zhang Song was left on the spot for a while, very embarrassed.On the contrary, all the people in Jingzhou were full of joy, and they couldn't help feeling a little good for Ma Chao.As for Liu Bei, he couldn't advance or retreat for a while, and was stared at by the crowd of Jingzhou celebrities, as if he was a target of public criticism.

"King Yong, are you deceiving me that Zhang Song doesn't know a hero?" Zhang Song finally came back to his senses, put down his wine glass, and said emphatically!
