Chapter Ninety-Nine: Save One Man First
However, Zhang Su didn't know that his behavior at this moment had been seen by the two of them.
Diagonally opposite Zhang's Mansion is a tavern, and the second floor of the tavern is facing the window of Zhang's Mansion, where two people are sitting.
One of them was full of joy and said: "The general sent us over to protect Mr. Zhang Song, I still don't think so, I didn't expect the matter to leak the secret, the general is really prescient, otherwise Mr. Zhang is afraid that he will die!" What now? Do you want to recover Zhang Su? ”
Another person muttered: "Zhang Su is timid and afraid, he treats his brother so ruthlessly, I'm afraid that he won't be able to chase him back, so let's go and inform Mr. Zhang to flee for his life!" ”
"Let's go, if it's late, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the city!"
The two discussed and quickly came to Zhang's mansion to ask to see Zhang Song.
Because Zhang Su was worried that Zhang Song would be alarmed and cause him to escape, he did not tell the people in the house, and the two palace guards who knew the situation were going to take care of the messenger Zhang San.
The two met Zhang Song smoothly.
"Who are you two?" Zhang Song looked at the two and wondered.
The two arched their hands and said: "We are soldiers under General Chen Zhi, and General Chen Zhi knows that Mr. is in Yizhou, and he is worried that the matter is not confidential and will be unfavorable to Mr., so he sent us into Sichuan to protect Mr. secretly."
Previously, the two of us saw that the messenger sent by Mr. was intercepted by Brother Ling, but now he has gone to Liu Zhang's mansion to denounce Mr., and ask Mr. to follow us out of the city quickly. ”
It turned out that when Liu Bei sent troops into Sichuan, Liu Chan secretly asked Zhao Yun to tell Chen Zhi to let him save the lives of Yizhou talents, and Chen Zhi kept Zhao Yun's advice in mind. After arriving in Yizhou, he sent a sergeant dressed as a common man to enter the CD, live near the mansions of Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, and secretly protect them from leaking their lives.
"Brother actually misunderstood me like this? If it weren't for General Chen's heart, my life would be suspended, help me pack up! ”
Zhang Song's face changed greatly when he heard this, but he was convinced of what the two said, firstly, the collusion between him and Liu Bei was only known to Fa Zheng and a few henchmen under his command, and secondly, Liu Bei had correspondence with him, and it was indeed Chen Zhi who was responsible for transmitting the message.
The two of them said impatiently: "Sir, it's important to escape, what kind of outfit do you care!" ”
Zhang Song found a package, took the bamboo slips and wrapped them in clothes, and explained to the two: "How fast can we run for our lives? Later, when the soldiers and horses that captured me arrived, and found that I had run away, they must chase me north, so I packed up some salutes, and later went out to tell my subordinates to visit my friends in the south, so that the pursuers must pursue me to the south, and we can get out! My brother has just left, and it will take some time for Liu Zhang to transfer troops to take me, so you can help quickly! ”
As soon as the two heard that Zhang Song was reasonable, they hurriedly helped Zhang Song to collect their bags, but after a long time, Zhang Song took the two of them out with the package.
"I'm going to visit a friend in Jiangyuan County, and you'll tell him when my brother comes back!" Zhang Song said to the subordinate at the door.
Jiangyuan County is in the south of CD, there are hundreds of miles away, if Liu Zhang sends someone to get Zhang Song, he must go to Jiangyuan County to chase, and Zhang Song fled north to Jiameng Pass, contrary to the pursuers, he will have enough time to escape.
Zhang Song told his subordinates, and the three of them left Zhang's mansion, and after walking out of a street a few steps, they saw a person in front of them, and when the person saw Zhang Song, he hurriedly trotted up to meet him: "Sir, where are you going, my master has something to look for you!" ”
Zhang Song recognized this person, he was Fazheng's confidant, Zhang Song hurriedly pulled him and whispered: "My matter has been leaked, Liu Zhang will send troops to arrest him later, filial piety has a close relationship with me, and he is the one who persuaded Uncle Liu Huang to enter Sichuan, I am afraid that I will also be suspected of being questioned, you go back to the house quickly, let him get out of the city as soon as possible, otherwise his life will not be guaranteed, I will wait for him ten miles north of the city!" ”
"I'll go back and inform my master!" As soon as the subordinates heard this, they hurriedly went back to report to Fazheng.
Zhang Song had just gone far out of the city, and Liu Zhang was furious when he learned that Zhang Song was secretly colluding with Liu Bei, so he ordered Zhang Ren to lead 300 troops to arrest Zhang Song.
Zhang Su took Zhang Ren to lead the army back to the mansion, but he didn't see Zhang Song, so he invited his subordinates to ask Zhang Song's whereabouts.
The servant replied, "The second master just left, packed his package and went to Jiangyuan to visit friends." ”
Zhang Ren said angrily: "Is it that you are not acting secretly, he learned the news and fled for his life!" ”
Zhang Su searched in the room for a while, and said: "Impossible, the messenger has been taken down by me and secretly imprisoned, and I dare not tell anyone in the house, how can he know?" There are a lot of books missing from the bookshelves in this room, and the clothes have been taken away, how can you take these things if you run for your life? He must have really gone to Jiangyuan, and the general quickly led his troops to chase after him. ”
"Let's go!" Zhang Ren waved his hand and took the soldiers and horses to Jiangyuan County in the south to arrest Zhang Ren.
And Zhang Song had already left the north gate at the moment, waiting for Fa Zheng on the side of the road ten miles away from the north gate.
After a while, I saw that Fa Zheng was riding a horse.
Seeing Zhang Song, Fa Zheng turned over and dismounted and asked, "What's the matter?" Why is it leaking? ”
Zhang Song's ugly face was full of bitterness, and he sighed and said: "It's all my fault, today I heard that Uncle Liu Huang was going back to Jingzhou, so I wanted to write a letter to persuade me, who ever wanted to be noticed by my brother and denounce me." ”
Fa Zheng sighed and said, "You, you, how can Uncle Liu Huang really go back?" He deliberately wrote this letter in order to enhance his strength and lower Liu Zhang's vigilance. Originally, I wanted to tell you when I left the state governor's mansion after the previous discussion, but I was worried that Huang Quan, Liu Ba and others would find out, so I sent someone to inform you after I went back, and I didn't want you to ...... Anyway, how did you escape? ”
Zhang Song pointed to the two sergeants and said with a grateful face: "It was General Chen who was afraid that we would not act strictly, so he sent these two sergeants to protect him secretly. ”
When Fa Zheng heard this, he was also grateful for Chen Zhi's thoughtful arrangement, so he saved his friend's life: "Uncle Liu Huang's account is really capable of producing people, if it weren't for General Chen, you are only afraid that Liu Zhang has been taken down and beheaded at the moment, we should really thank General Chen, without further ado, go to Jiameng Pass quickly!" ”
Zhang Ren was swept to Jiangyuan by Zhang Song's tricks, and when Zhang Ren came back with his troops, it was three days later, and at this moment, Zhang Songfa and the two of them hurried up, day and night to drive hundreds of miles, and it was close to Jiameng Pass, and Zhang Ren couldn't catch up anyway.
After another two days, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng finally arrived at Jiameng Pass.
Knowing that the two were coming, Liu Bei immediately went out to greet them.
"Lord, Zhang Song is ashamed of you!" Seeing Liu Bei, Zhang Song's face was full of shame, and he bowed to Liu Bei and apologized.
"Sir, please hurry up!" Liu Bei hurriedly helped Liu Zhang up and asked, "Why is this so?" ”
Zhang Song explained: "The lord wrote to Liu Zhang, borrowing money and food from the soldiers on the grounds of retiring from the army, and he was stupid enough to believe that it was true, so he wrote to the lord to persuade the lord not to return to Jingzhou, but he didn't want to act secretly, and was discovered and denounced by his brother. Now Liu Zhang already knows that the lord has the intention of seizing Yizhou, but he has ruined the lord's name of benevolence and righteousness, and Liu Zhang is afraid that he will not give the soldiers, horses, money and food that the lord wants. ”
