However, it was said that Zhang Song led a team of people, took the customs clearance documents given by Liu Zhang, and went to Nanzhengxing.

Zhang Song led everyone to just pass through Chuyang, and suddenly saw a team of military horses roaring, about 500 horsemen. As the first general, dressed up in light makeup, he asked before Le Ma: "Don't you care?" ”

Song said: "Yes, I don't know who the general is?" ”

The general hurriedly dismounted and replied: "Xu Huang has been waiting here for a long time!" ”

Panasonic replied: "Could it be Xu Gongming in Hedong?" ”

Xu Huang said: "It is not talented, a certain person was ordered by the lord to travel far away for the doctor, drove on a saddle horse, and was specially ordered to talk about wine and food." ”

After speaking, Xu Huang took the wine and food from the sergeant's hands and held them in front of Zhang Song with both hands.

Song secretly thought to himself: "People say that Chen Wenzhao is thirsty for talent, and he can choose talents, and today I see that this is really the case." ”

Zhang Song and Xu Huang drank a few cups and walked on the horse, and everyone came to the border of Nanzheng and arrived at the pavilion in the evening. Zhang Song suddenly saw more than 100 people standing outside the post gate, beating drums and connecting with each other.

One will give a salute in front of the horse and say: "According to the order of the lord, Zhang Bei will take the wind and wash the dust, and order Gan to sweep the post court and wait for the night." ”

Zhang Song was flattered, dismounted and entered the hall with Xu Huang and Gan Ning, and sat down with a lecture. After a while, the wine feast was arranged, and the two persuaded each other diligently, drank until they were even worse, and then they stopped the banquet and stayed overnight.

After breakfast the next day, Zhang Song got on his horse and traveled less than three or five miles, only to see a cluster of people and horses arrive. It was Wen Zhao who led Lu Bu, Jia Xu, and Li Ru to pick it up in person.

Wen Zhaoyao saw Zhang Song, dismounted and waited earlier, and Zhang Song also hurriedly dismounted to meet him.

Wen Zhao said: "Don't drive a high name after hearing it for a long time, like thunder." Hate the clouds and mountains are far away, and they can't listen to teaching. Today, don't drive to Nanzheng, and meet here. If you don't give up, when you go to Hanzhong for a while, you will be lucky to talk about your thirst! ”

Zhang Song was overjoyed, so he mounted his horse and entered the city. To the palace to each of the ceremonies, the guests and hosts sit in turn, and set up a banquet to entertain.

During the banquet, Chen Xu asked, "What is the terroir in Shuzhong?" ”

Zhang Song replied: "Shudi Road has the danger of Jinjiang, and the land is even the hero of the Sword Pavilion; 208 journeys, more than 30,000 miles; Chickens and dogs bark at each other, and the market is constantly ruin; The fields are fertile and lush, and there is no worry about water and drought in the year; The country is rich and the people are rich, and there is orchestral music from time to time. ”

"The things produced in Shu are like mountains, and the world is unreachable!"

Wen Zhao asked again: "How are the characters in Shu?" ”

Zhang replied: "The text has the same endowment, and the martial arts have the talent of Fubo; Medicine has the ability of Zhongjing, and Bu has the hidden of Junping. The Nine Streams and Three Sects, those who are out of their kind, those who are out of their class, those who are out of their ranks, cannot be remembered, how can they be counted! ”

Wen Zhao asked again: "Fang Jin, Liu Jiyu's subordinates, how many people are there who are like dukes?" ”

Zhang Song said: "Civilian, military, all-rounder, wise and brave, loyal and generous people, hundreds of them. If you are not talented, the amount of the car is not remembered. ”

Wen Zhao immediately sighed: "Shu is rich and vast, full of talents, and it is really the country of abundance. ”

After sighing, Wen Zhao only gossiped with Zhang Song, and did not mention the matter of Xichuan.

Zhang Song said with his words: "Now that the general has obtained Hanzhong, does he intend to seize the land of Xichuan?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "My lord came thousands of miles to attack Hanzhong, not because of his ambitions, but because Zhang Lu vainly claimed to be the king of Hanning, he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to crusade against Hanzhong. ”

"Liu Yizhou is a clan member of the Han family, how dare my lord risk the disapproval of the world and seize Liu Jiyu's family business?"

Song replied: "Now that the world is in turmoil, the princes cut the land, and the states and counties of the world should be inhabited by virtuous people. ”

Li Ru said: "My lord is a general of the dynasty, serving the Son of Heaven to please the ministers, loyal to the Han family, and occupying the name of righteousness." The other thieves who are all Han are forcibly encroaching on the land, but the wise are not fair. ”

Wen Zhao said: "The second prince said nothing, what virtue do I have, dare to hope more? I think at the beginning, I was just a farmer's child, and my identity was humble. Although he was fortunate to be praised by the bridge duke, he had no reputation. ”

Later, he was framed by the eunuchs, and then he was forced to defect to the Yellow Turban, and did the great rebellion and rebellion, and he often regretted it in his heart. Later, the Son of Heaven did not give up and allowed me to return to the court. ”

"I am fortunate to be awarded the position of general by His Majesty today, and I am already afraid that it is difficult to take on this important responsibility, how dare I ask for anything else?"

Song said: "Otherwise, the Ming Duke will serve the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet, and the prestige will be heard in the four seas." Xiu Dao occupies the state and county, and he occupies the throne on behalf of orthodoxy, which is not extraordinary. ”

Wen Zhao said in a panic: "The public words are too much, how dare Xu deserve it?" ”

On the second day, Zhang Song took the grain, grass, and gold silk given to him by Liu Zhang, and went to reward Sergeant Guan.

When he saw that the soldiers in Guanzhong were majestic and mighty, well-armoured, and the generals were brave, he was even happier in his heart, and secretly thought: "With such a lord, such a general, and a soldier, why worry about the big thing?" ”

Three days later, Zhang Song resigned, and Wen Zhao held a banquet in the Shili Long Pavilion to see him off.

Wen Zhao raised his wine and said: "Don't give up on Meng Zhang, stay for three days; Farewell today, I don't know when I will have to listen to the teachings again. After that, tears flowed down.

Zhang Song thought to himself: "The general is so lenient and benevolent, can I give it up?" It's better to say that Lingtori Nishikawa. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Song then pulled Wen Zhao to a remote place and said: "Song Yichao thinks about it, and I hate to serve the general. ”

"Although the general's power is strong, there is Yuan Shao in the northeast, and he is often a tiger; There is Cao Cao in Qing and Xu Prefectures, and every whale swallows. As for Liu Biao and Sun Ce, they are also very human. ”

"The general looks glamorous now, but he is too sharp. What if the Kwantung princes were afraid of the strength of the generals and emulated the connivance of the Warring States period? ”

Wen Zhao was shocked, held Zhang Song's hand tightly and said, "Please also ask Ziqiao to teach me." ”

Song said: "Yizhou is dangerous, fertile for thousands of miles, and the people are rich and the country is rich; Wise man, long admired the virtue of the general. If the people in Hanzhong rise, they will drive south and swallow Shu. ”

"Even if the Kwantung princes unite with each other, the great shogun can also rely on the land of the four states to resist them. If you follow the example of Qiang Qin and sweep Liuhe, the hegemony can be achieved, and the Han family can prosper. ”

"At that time, the general could follow Yin and Huo's example, and he could be promoted to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Wen Zhao said in fear: "A certain An dares to be like this? Liu Yizhou is a relative of the emperor's family, and he has been in Shu for a long time. How can others be shaken by it? ”

Song said: "A certain non-seller seeks glory; When I meet Ming Gong today, I dare not dare not to drain my liver and gallbladder; Although Liu Jiyu is beneficial to the state, he has a weak temperament and cannot use his talents; In addition, the general's strong seizure of Hanzhong made Yizhou shake, the people's hearts were scattered, and the master was clear. ”

"Song this line, I want to pay money to Ming Gong; Wangming Gong first took Yizhou as a granary, and Liang and Erzhou as horse farms. Then go east out of Guanzhong, exterminate the princes, collect the Central Plains, and Kuangzheng Celestial Empire. ”

"In this way, the Ming Gong will definitely go down in history, and the merit is great."

"If the Ming Duke has the intention of benefiting the state, he is willing to give the work of dogs and horses, thinking that it should be internal, and I don't know what the meaning is?"

Wen Zhao thought for a long time, and then said with some embarrassment: "I heard that the Shu road is rugged, with thousands of mountains and rivers, the car can't be square, and the horse can't be connected; If you want to take it, what is the best way to use it? ”

Zhang Song was overjoyed when he heard this, so he took out a picture in his sleeve and handed it to Wen Zhao and said: "Song deeply feels the virtue of Ming Gong and dares to offer this picture." But looking at this picture, Ming Gong knows the road in Shuzhong. ”

Wen Zhao opened his eyes slightly, and found that all the geographical itinerary was written on it, far and near, wide and narrow, mountains and rivers were dangerous, and the treasury money and grain were all contained and understood.

Zhang Song whispered: "Ming Gong can quickly plan it, and Song has two confidants and friends: Fa Zheng and Meng Da. If the public intention is to benefit the state, these two people will be able to help each other. ”

Wen Zhao handed over his hand and said: "The green mountains are not old, and the green water lasts forever." He will be rewarded for his success. ”

Song said: "When Song meets the master, he has to tell him as much as he wants, how dare he hope to repay him?" ”

After saying goodbye, Wen Zhao once again clasped Zhang Song's hand, said goodbye to him with tears, and then ordered Xu Huang and others to escort him back dozens of miles.

After returning to Nanzheng, Wen Zhao secretly summoned Jia Xu and others to take out the map of Xichuan. When everyone had finished watching, they were all overjoyed.
