Chapter 89 Extraordinary Talent

Although he cares a lot about Bai Xiong, Mr. Jian is more important than the other two.

Following the ragged followers, the group set out from Linju and walked southwest for dozens of miles before seeing the river.

Zhang Fei knew that if he went up the river for another hundred miles, he would reach Zigui, which also belonged to Nanjun and was the gateway to Yizhou.

This is where Jian Yong entered Yizhou. It seems that he will return the same way, but his luck is not very good.

Jian Yong's followers were still explaining the situation to Zhang Fei:

"From here, up the Shuojiang River, there is a group of mountain bandits about ten miles away. They are not good at fighting but have a large number of people. There is a distinguished guest traveling with Mr. Jian, so I will risk my life to break through and seek reinforcements."

"Bandits? Not water bandits?" Zhang Fei asked in confusion.

"General, you don't know that after entering the Bingshu Baojian Gorge, the river is full of rocks, the water is boiling, and the bubbles are rolling. There are no passenger ships passing by in such a river, so where do the pirates come from?"

"On the contrary, most people entering Yizhou have to take the small road beside the river. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Relying on the terrain, they can rob passing merchants. It's really hateful!"

Zhang Fei understood and became more anxious: "Lead the way quickly, don't hurt Mr. Jian!"

Zhang Fei arrived in time. After running five miles forward, he saw a group of bandits with simple weapons and miserable appearance, surrounding a group of people who looked even more miserable.

Jian Yong's followers ran very fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, they shouted from a high place: "Mr. Jian, General Zhang is here to save you!"

Zhang Fei, who wanted to launch a surprise attack, cursed secretly and had to order: "Surround them, no one is allowed to escape!"

Fortunately, the battle was not difficult. Although the three hundred people could not be fully deployed in such a narrow area, the deterrence they brought was strong enough.

The bandits' initial rout prompted Zhang Fei to quickly issue an order: "Those who surrender will not die!"

The three hundred personal soldiers passed on the order, and soon the messy weapons were thrown to the ground.

Zhang Fei stepped on the weapons without even looking at them: "Mr. Jian has had a hard time along the way."

Jian Yong, who was three points darker and five points thinner, smiled and showed two rows of white teeth, his suave demeanor remained the same: "If Yide hadn't come, my life would have ended."

Zhang Fei and Jian Yong laughed together.

"You forgot your distinguished guest when you were in a desperate situation!" Jian Yong said, pulling out a short, pointed-mouthed man from behind to introduce him:

"Zhang Ziqiao, the deputy driver's attendant, is the distinguished guest who came with me from Yizhou this time!"

Zhang Fei's face became serious. Instead of greeting, such a simple act made Zhang Ziqiao squint with joy.

"Zhang Biejia is here to see the lord on behalf of Liu Yizhou for the affairs of Hanzhong," Jian Yong explained on the side.

Zhang Fei thought about it for a moment and figured it out: "So... After all the travel, why not have one hundred and twenty of my personal soldiers escort Zhang Biejia to Gong'an to meet the lord?"

"That's great, it's even better to set off immediately!" Zhang Song was a little impatient.

"Fan Jiang, you lead one hundred and twenty people to escort Zhang Biejia to Gong'an to pay respect to the lord!"

"Zhang Da, you lead one hundred people to escort the captives here to Linju."

"Mr. Jian, there are white bears nearby, come with me to see?"

Jian Yong felt that his fatigue was instantly thrown away, and he readily agreed.

...

The feeling of Gong'an, the city of Gong'an, made Zhang Song more convinced of the decision he made in his heart.

Walking step by step on the road of Gong'an County, looking up at the lively people coming and going, Zhang Song's determination became more and more firm.

The appearance given by his parents is already like this, and for Zhang Song, the only wish in his life is to realize his ambitions and show his talents.

But Liu Jiyu did not give him this opportunity.

Zhang Song was received by Liu Bei. When he stood up to bow, he was held firmly:

"Zi Qiao is tired after coming from afar. You should rest. Just sit down and talk."

"Liu Jingzhou!" Zhang Song called out, and bowed while kneeling.

"Why do you have to do this, Zi Qiao?" Liu Bei helped him up: "You are the envoy of Yizhou. Liu Jiyu and I are both relatives of the Han Dynasty. As both are Han ministers, why do you have to be so formal?"

But Zhang Song seemed to be determined, and Liu Bei couldn't help him up for a while.

The Yizhou envoy kowtowed to the ground without looking up, and said loudly:

"What if Liu Yizhou doesn't care that he is a relative of the Han Dynasty and wants to surrender to Cao Cao?"

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Bei to ask, Zhang Song continued:

"Before Cao Cao invaded Jingzhou, Liu Yizhou sent my brother to Xuchang to make peace, and my brother was appointed as the prefect of Guanghan."

"In the spring of the following year, when the troops were stationed in Xiangyang, they sent Yin Pu to make peace, and Yin Pu was therefore named General Zhenwei, and Liu Yizhou's brother Liu Mao was named General Pingkou. General. "

"Before the Battle of Red Cliff, Liu Yizhou sent me to fight Cao Cao with the intention of making friends. If Liu Jingzhou and Zhou Lang had not defeated Cao Cao at Red Cliff, Yizhou would have been offered to Xudu!"

Liu Bei's eyebrows twisted together, looking at Zhang Song lying on the ground motionless, he said softly:

"I understand Ziqiao's intention... but you are still Ji Yu's minister after all."

"I am Yizhou's deputy, but I dare not forget that I am a Han minister!" Zhang Song still knelt and said loudly.

"And the land of Yizhou has been in constant war since Liu Junlang, what is the crime?! A wise man wants a wise king, I only hope that the left general will leave Yizhou."

This time Liu Bei was silent for a longer time, and finally said lightly: "Zhang Biejia, get up."

When Zhang Song stood up from the ground, he saw Liu Bei's back and heard:

"Ziqiao understands your intention. You are willing to lose your integrity to pursue your ambitions, but I don't want to rely on the reputation of a loyal minister to build a foundation."

"Today's words come out of your mouth and enter my ears. You are still a loyal minister, and I will take Yizhou myself. Then, it will be the time for Ziqiao to do his best for the Han Dynasty!"

Zhang Song's steps left were a little staggering. Liu Bei looked at him with a sigh and shook his head: "Yizhou has many talents, but Liu Jiyu doesn't use them."

"Why don't you respond, lord!"

At this time, two people came from behind the screen. Who else could it be but Kong Ming and Pang Tong?

And this urgent sigh belonged to Pang Tong: "With Zhang Song and Fa Zheng as the internal support, leading the elite troops, the foundation can be obtained!"

"Zhang Song is not good-looking, but he is extraordinary. If he is the internal support, Yizhou can be safe! If God doesn't take it, what else can people do?"

"But this move is unrighteous, and it is not appropriate to lose the loyalty of a minister and the great righteousness." Kong Ming shook his feather fan and agreed with Liu Bei's approach.

"Yizhou is a natural barrier. At the very least, Zhang Song must leave the map of the two rivers. How can you send him away so easily!" Pang Tong was dissatisfied.

Liu Bei and Kong Ming looked at each other and laughed together.

Pang Tong was not stupid. He had guessed a little from the situation.

"Could it be that... the map of the two rivers has been obtained?"

Liu Bei told his two military advisors: "Don't spread what happened today."

Kong Ming nodded and stretched out his hand to invite him: "Shi Yuan, follow me."

The small hall that was once used for war situation deduction is now one of the heavily guarded places in Gong'an County.

Kong Ming was leading Pang Tong, and the gatekeeper helped the two military advisors open the door after checking their identity cards.

The tables and chairs inside had been cleared out, leaving only a huge table that could accommodate three people sleeping on it.

The table was made of a huge sand table with various small stones, rice, branches and leaves, and some unrecognizable things.

During the year of following Zhou Gongjin, Pang Tong also had to assist in handling military affairs, so he recognized the terrain in an instant:

"Jiangling, Zigui, Chengdu? So complete?!"
