"What Master Zhang said is exactly what we want!"
"Then, I'll go and lobby the generals of the clan so that they are ready to resist Liu Bei."
Huang Quan said to Zhang Song again: "I heard that Fazheng is dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's stupidity and is about to resign. Why don't Mr. Zhang go to lobby in person?"
Zhang Song smiled and said, "Huang Zong is really astute."
"This Fazheng is also the person whom the young master named."
"Naturally, I have to do it myself to persuade him to join the Young Master."
After the discussion between the three, Li Hui decided to lobby Li Yan.
Huang Quan and Wang Lei each went back to lobby the generals in their families.
Zhang Song, on the other hand, brought a jug of wine and headed towards Fazheng's residence.
Chapter 202 Fazheng ran away, Liu Bei was caught
"My lord, everything is in order."
In the residence, the servant had already harnessed the carriage and bowed to Fazheng:
"My lord's books have all been loaded into the car, and we can set off."
Fazheng nodded, looking at the empty courtyard a little lonely.
The autumn wind is a bit bleak.
Blow some golden leaves from the branches to the ground.
This is the place where he has been living since he came to Yizhou to seek an official position.
After so many years, things have changed.
The yard is still the same as before.
He's just a human being, but he's not the passionate young man he was back then.
Fazheng shook his head, turned around and was about to go out.
There was only a burst of laughter, even if Fazheng didn't look up, he knew who was coming.
This person is one of his few friends.
"Xiaozhi, are you really going to resign?"
Fazheng looked at Zhang Song who was smiling in front of him, and nodded with a smile, saying:
"Yizhou is going to be in chaos, I should die to avoid disaster, and go back to study."
"Brother Ziqiao, please sit down."
Zhang Song also sat down unceremoniously, put the jug in his hand on the table, and said:
"That said, it's a pity."
"I still have a lot of fine wine, waiting to drink with Xiaozhi."
"This is the wine I finally got when I went to Xudu."
Fazheng only took a glance, and knew that Zhang Song was lying:
"Brother Ziqiao, don't lie to me. At the beginning of the year, there was a severe drought in the north, and even rations could not be supplied. How can there be food for wine?"
"This wine is probably from a bar in Yizhou?"
After Zhang Song listened, he laughed and said:
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you, Fa Xiaozhi."
"Then, you must have known about the fact that I obstructed your mission to Jingzhou before?"
Fazheng smiled faintly, and said, "I would like to thank Ziqiao for fighting for this leisure for me."
"You deliberately provoked me and asked me to resign from office and go back to hiding. After the changes in Yizhou, let that son invite me out of the mountain."
"Lest I leave the stigma of betraying the Lord and surrendering to the enemy."
"All this, I know."
"Since Xu Du came back, you have started to cut off the possibility of my contact with Liu Bei. I also know this."
"You are willing to bear the infamy of the seller and seek glory, and you also want to stir up Yizhou. I know all about this."
Zhang Song listened with a smug smile on his face.
Then, Fazheng asked again: "Young Master, is it really worth it for you?"
After Zhang Song listened, he smiled and said:
"I, Zhang Song, have been aloof all my life. Even the king of Wei, Cao Cao, I never paid attention to."
"But that son is different!"
"Young master's means are a hundred times better than Cao Cao's!"
"Compared with him, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others are far behind!"
"That's why I advise Xiaozhi not to make mistakes."
"Although Liu Bei is the lord of peace, he is by no means a great talent in a prosperous and peaceful world."
"These, when you meet the young master in the future, you will understand."
Fazheng listened, nodded again, and said, "To be able to live up to Ziqiao's evaluation, it seems that this young master of the Cao family is definitely not an ordinary person."
"I want to see him more and more."
Zhang Song heard this, and asked: "Then, Xiaozhi is going north?"
Fazheng nodded and said, "I plan to go north."
"Go and see Jizhou under the rule of that son."
"In this way, I can make a better choice."
Zhang Songdao: "Young master is in Longxi now, why does Xiao Zhi abandon the near and seek the far away?"
Fazheng shook his head and said, "This is different."
"I want to see if he has the ability to calm the troubled times and rejuvenate the world."
"Such ability cannot be seen just by looking at people."
"I need to see what he does to make a better conclusion."
After hearing this, Zhang Song also thought it made sense.
So he said to Fazheng: "Then I wish Xiaozhi a smooth journey."
There was little breeze, and a few yellow leaves fell.
The rice wine in the pot has dried up, and the friends are separated.
Only one flagon and two cups remained.
Waiting for the future.
…………
On the border of Yizhou, Ma Chao played very anxiously.
Up to now, more than ten cities have been connected, and then they turned around and attacked Yangping Pass and Baishui Pass.
The intention is to open the gate from Hanzhong to Yizhou.
If Yangping Pass and Baishui Pass are lost, Zhang Lu's army will drive straight into Yizhou.
Ma Chao now has [-] elite soldiers under his command, and has collected many diehard fans.
His activity put a lot of pressure on Yizhou for a while.
If he doesn't quickly curb his offensive momentum, Yizhou will be annexed by Ma Chao sooner or later!
Liu Zhang quickly distributed food and grass, and asked Liu Bei to go to Yangping Pass to fight against Ma Chao.
Liu Bei readily agreed, leaving Huang Zhong to guard Langzhong with [-] soldiers and horses.
Then he stayed with Pang Tong, Liu Feng, Sun Qian, etc., commanding [-] soldiers and horses, and immediately sent troops to Yangping Pass.
A few days later, Liu Bei came to Baishui Pass.
At this time, Ma Chao was too active, and Zhang Lu became suspicious of him.
Yan Pu, Zhang Lu's counselor, suggested that Zhang Lu weaken Ma Chao's military power, and then let him attack Nanjiang City.
As for the Baishuiguan area, the main force of the trusted generals will be used to attack.
Prevent Ma Chao from taking credit for himself.
However, due to Liu Bei's joining, Zhang Lu's siege forces encountered a hard nail.
Liu Bei was proficient in the art of war, and with Pang Tong's assistance, Zhang Lu's troops suffered a lot.
All the city gates were guarded like iron walls.
There was absolutely no way to break through in a short time, so Yan Pu, Zhang Lu's counselor, suggested to retreat for twenty miles and go down to the village to confront Liu Bei.
Then he sent someone to bribe Liu Zhang's officials who delivered grain and grass, so that they withheld grain and salary.
Waiting for Liu Bei to run out of food and grass, he will retreat automatically.
Soon after, there was a shortage of military rations.
All the soldiers under Liu Bei fought with hunger. For a while, there were complaints in the barracks, and all the generals came to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei hastily sent a letter, asking Liu Zhang for grain and grass support.
For more than ten days in a row, more than ten letters were sent.
So Liu Zhang was very puzzled.
Every day I go out to collect food and grass, but Xuande urges food every day.
In addition, many people who were dissatisfied with Liu Bei said to Liu Zhang that it might be Liu Bei who had embezzled the military rations.
Although Liu Zhang didn't want to believe it, he already had a grudge against Liu Bei in his heart.
In August and a half, it rained continuously.
Liu Bei looked at the muddy road, and finally a group of grain trucks came.
Liu Bei was overjoyed, and quickly asked someone to open the city gate to help carry the grain.
But it didn't take long for the soldiers and the food transport team to fight in the rain.
Liu Bei hurriedly went to check, only to see that the soldiers were fighting together on the field.
Liu Bei quickly drew his sword and shouted: "Stop! Stop it!"
As Liu Feng joined the battle with his wolves and tigers, the riot was quickly quelled.
Standing in the rain, Liu Bei asked angrily, "What's going on?"
At this time, the soldiers under his command came up and cried and said that the grain cart was not filled with grain at all.
Half chaff, half leaves.
That's why they fought with the grain transportation team.
Liu Bei was furious, and ordered Liu Feng to arrest the hundred generals of the grain transportation team, holding a double-strand sword, and asked sharply:
"Tell me! What's the matter?"
Chapter 203 Pang Tongding Plans to Take Chengdu, Three Strategies
The officials of the food transportation team were also laborers, so naturally they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know what was going on.
Liu Bei hurriedly found Pang Tong to discuss countermeasures.
Outside the tent, the light rain is still pattering.
Pang Tong smiled and said: "The envoy is benevolent and righteous, and he refuses to take Yizhou. Now the people of Yizhou are helping the envoy. It is the right time to take Yizhou."
