The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 205 Ask him to give me the horse to ride

Zhang Song has always looked down on Liu Zhang.

He had long thought of dedicating Yizhou.

Earlier, he had thought about dedicating Yizhou to Cao Cao.

Before the trip, Yizhou was broken.

Later, he thought about finding an excuse to visit Jiangdong or Jingzhou. If Sun Quan or Liu Biao were willing to ask for it, it would be a good choice.

Before he could propose to Liu Zhang the two places where he should be sent as an envoy, Jingzhou and Jiangdong were captured by Yuan Xu within a few days.

Zhang Song was a little desperate.

He didn't expect Yuan Xu to be so strong.

It has long been heard that Yuan Xu governs Hebei, where everyone has food to eat, everyone has fields, and everyone has clothes to wear.The population of Hebei is also increasing rapidly.

When Xu Shu came to Yizhou, Zhang Song seemed to see the future of Yizhou.

Asked Xu Shu how Yuan Xu defeated Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Zhang Song asked him: "So, as long as Yuan Xianxin arrives in Yizhou, there will be no defense here at all?"

"What do you think?" Xu Shu asked him with a smile.

Zhang Song frowned slightly, and he said to Xu Shu: "Actually, I also feel that Liu Zhang is weak. If Yizhou can be handed over to more capable people, it will be better here."

"Mr. Xianxin is going to pacify the world, so it's not good to give him Yizhou?" Xu Shu asked him.

Zhang Song replied: "It's not bad, it's just that Yuan Xianxin's ability doesn't seem to be tolerated by the world..."

"Not tolerated by the world?" Xu Shu laughed loudly, and asked Zhang Song: "May I ask which people are not tolerated?"

"Drove fierce corpses, drove dead souls." Zhang Song asked: "Could it be that Yuan Zhi can tolerate him?"

"Of course." Xu Shu asked him: "My son is in charge of Hebei, have you killed innocent people indiscriminately?"

Zhang Song shook his head.

Xu Shu asked again: "The son is in charge of Hebei. Are the soldiers and civilians doing better, or are they not as good as before?"

"It is said that life is better." Zhang Song replied.

"Since it's a better life, why isn't it tolerated by the world?" Xu Shu asked again.

Zhang Song was speechless.

After a moment of silence, he said to Xu Shu, "If Yuan Zhi hadn't reminded me, I would have been influenced by others."

"Before I met the young master, I also thought that his ability would not be tolerated by the world." Xu Shu said: "Since Xinye was defeated by the young master, not only did he not kill us, but he was an official worshiping his original position. Zhuge Kongming Now that you have even become the governor of Jingzhou, what do you think of your son's mind?"

Hearing that Zhuge Liang was the governor of Jingzhou, Zhang Song was taken aback: "Surely there is such a thing?"

"Could I still lie to you?" Xu Shu said with a smile: "Kong Ming refused at first, but the young master forcibly made him an official, so he was left in Jingzhou."

"I've heard of Kong Ming's name." Zhang Song said: "He once said to others that others have the ability to be a governor, but when he mentioned himself, he just laughed and said nothing."

"Among the people he said, I was the one." Xu Shu replied, "Kong Ming really felt that the governor was too young, but the young master promised him that when he returned to Yecheng, he would take him with him."

"Young Master Xianxin really has the ability to read people's thoughts." Zhang Song said, "No wonder some people say that he is proficient in sorcery."

"What's wrong with being proficient in sorcery?" Xu Shu said, "Young master can read people's minds, so of course he knows what everyone wants. In front of him, we don't have to hide it, just ask what we want. If he feels Seeing that we are capable enough, maybe we don’t even need to speak.”

"Yuan Zhi said so." Zhang Song nodded.

He then asked Xu Shu, "I don't know what Yuanzhi's plan is? Although Liu Zhang is weak, it is not so easy for him to sacrifice Yizhou."

"Yizhou is more important, or is wealth and life more important?" Xu Shu asked.

"Of course they are all important." Zhang Song replied, "Yizhou is the foundation of Liu Zhang's ancestors."

"The whole world belongs to the young master. How can he get any ancestral inheritance?" Xu Shu said: "You should blow the wind in front of him first. If he refuses to donate Yizhou, I will tell the young master."

"I understand." Zhang Song agreed, and bowed to Xu Shu: "I'll take my leave first."

"I'll see Mr. Zhang off." Xu Shu sent him to the door.

It was also Liu Zhang's arrangement for Zhang Song to meet Xu Shu.

When he returned, Liu Zhang was waiting.

Seeing Zhang Song, Liu Zhang asked him, "How is it? What did Xu Yuanzhi say?"

"He came to Yizhou to persuade the lord to dedicate this place to Yuan Xianxin." Zhang Song replied without any concealment.

Liu Zhang's expression turned ugly instantly.

He asked Zhang Song: "Xu Yuanzhi really said that?"

"Exactly." Zhang Song replied: "It's not concealed, and the words are threatening."

Liu Zhang slapped the table with a slap, his face livid: "What a Xu Yuanzhi, he is in Yizhou, how dare he be so rampant!"

"My lord, you can't act on your will." Liu Zhang was angry, and Zhang Song persuaded him, "If you are a lobbyist for others, that's fine. You came here for Yuan Xianxin, my lord must not offend you."

"What's wrong with Yuan Xianxin?" Liu Zhang glared at him, "Could I still be afraid of him?"

"Yuan Xianxin defeated Cao Cao, doesn't my lord know?" Zhang Song asked.

"What's so strange about Cao Cao being defeated by him?" Liu Zhang said, "I, Yizhou, is located in the land of Bashu, and the roads have always been difficult. Even if he is allowed to come, will he be able to enter the land of Shu?"

"The land of Bashu is indeed difficult to travel, so how is it compared with Jiangdong?" Zhang Song asked.

Liu Zhang was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"Master, do you know whose subordinate Xu Yuanzhi used to be?" Zhang Song asked him.

"He should have been with Liu Xuande in the first place." Liu Zhang replied.

"Liu Xuande has already surrendered and Jingzhou has fallen into Yuan Xianxin's hands." Zhang Song said, "I'm afraid Jiangdong has already fallen."

"Jiangdong has also fallen?" Liu Zhang widened his eyes: "How many days has it been?"

"Three days." Zhang Song said, "Yuan Xianxin only took three days to defeat Liu Xuande, seize Jingzhou, and march into Jiangdong. If he comes to Yizhou, how long do you think we can resist?"

Cold sweat broke out down Zhang Song's back, and Liu Zhang asked, "Is this news true?"

"I don't know if Jiang Dong was defeated by him, the others should have been confirmed." Zhang Song replied.

"What should I do?" Liu Zhang was also afraid.

Yuan Xu was so strong that he took down Jingzhou and other places in just a few days. With Yizhou alone, it was impossible to stop him.

As long as he comes to Yizhou, at most two or three days, Liu Zhang's head will be placed in front of Yuan Xu.

"My lord, why don't you send someone to Jiangdong and Jingzhou to find out first." Zhang Song suggested: "Xu Yuan said that the horse he rides can travel thousands of miles a day, and it was a gift from Yuan Xianxin. Ask him for a ride. If it is true, he will If you do, you can trust me seven or eight percent.”

"A mount that can travel thousands of miles a day?" Of course Liu Zhang didn't believe it. He had never heard of any mount that could travel thousands of miles in a day.
