How much did Zhang Song contribute to Yi Province?
In other words, if it wasn't for Zhang Song, Liu Zhang would be nothing more than a puppet. He might even be a corpse now.
It was Zhang Song who helped Liu Zhang deal with Zhao Wei, who was bent on usurping the throne. He forced Zhao Wei out of Chengdu and into the remote villages of Yunnan.
It was also Zhang Song who helped Liu Zhang suppress the voices of opposition in Yi Province. He formed a consensus with the nobles of Yi Province to help Liu Zhang.
Therefore, Zhang Song's help to Yi Province was obvious to all. Zhang Song's position was not a waste of his talent at all.
"My lord, you can't! This Liu Bei has the ambition of a wolf. He wants to annex our Yi Province! He has already killed Huang She, and now he wants to take over our Yi Province. This Zhang Song is a traitor and colluded with Liu Bei. They must have already discussed this beforehand! If we don't get rid of him, our Yi Province will be in danger! "When Zhang Lu saw that Fa Zheng was about to plead for Zhang Song, he immediately became unhappy.
Why? He, Zhang Su, had to painstakingly run to Zhang Song's mansion and finally managed to obtain a letter from Zhang Song's study room. Coupled with Fa Zheng's correction, Zhang Song was finally defeated.
He, Zhang Su, had been suppressed by Zhang Song for so many years. He was about to be proud and elated. He was about to turn the tables and become the master.
Fa Zheng actually wanted to plead for Zhang Song?
Wasn't this a joke? If Liu Zhang spared Zhang Song, what would happen to Zhang Su?
No matter what, Zhang Song was the head of the Zhang family. If Zhang Su reported him, he would be betraying the family. If Zhang Song didn't die, what good would Zhang Su do when he returned?
Only with Zhang Song's death could Zhang Su rightfully inherit the position of the head of the Zhang family. At that time, no one would dare to say anything.
Therefore, Zhang Song must die.
Liu Zhang nodded. He was a hesitant person.
"My lord! Everyone is not a saint. How can there be no mistakes? Lord Zhang Song, this version has been bewitched by that Liu Bei. Otherwise, how could he do such a thing! Milord, if Zhang Song had the ambition of a wolf, he would have long sought an official position under Zhao Wei, and not under Milord! "Fa Zheng knelt down and said to Liu Zhang.
"This!" Liu Zhang really wanted to thank Zhang Song. It was Zhang Song who saved Liu Zhang at the most critical moment of Liu Zhang.
Seeing that Liu Zhang was about to relent, Zhang Su was really anxious.
"My Lord, this Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, is extremely treacherous. How could he only contact Zhang Song in Yi Province? Zhang Song must have accomplices. If we don't get rid of him, Yi Province will still be in danger once his accomplices show up! "
"My Lord!" Fa Zheng was still arguing for Zhang Song. If it weren't for the fact that everyone had stayed behind, they wouldn't have thought that Fa Zheng was the one who gave Zhang Song the final blow and exposed him.
"Enough! That's enough!" An old general stepped forward and roared loudly as the two of them argued.
Martial generals were originally full of vigor and vigor, and their voices were loud. With this, everyone was stunned.
"My Lord, I think that Zhang Song deserves to die!" The old general immediately fixed Zhang Song's behavior, making Zhang Su's face full of smiles.
But then the old general spoke again, "However, although Zhang Song deserves to die, he can't be killed immediately!" “
"General Yan Yan, you are wrong. Why can't we kill those who deserve to die?" Zhang Su said to the old general.
This person was none other than Yan Yan, one of the few famous generals in Yi Province. Yan Yan was a veteran general. He had been following the late Lord Liu Yan for several decades.
Therefore, Yan Yan had been in a semi-retired state for a long time. But now he had to come out. Yi Province was at a critical juncture. If he wasn't careful, Yi Province would be finished and the late Lord Liu Yan's foundation would be handed over to others.
"Lord Zhang Su, you also said that this Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, is very ambitious and scheming. When he was still under Huang She's command, he had already plotted against Yi Province. Do you think such a person would only leave Zhang Song alone?" Yan Yan asked Zhang Su.
"What do you mean?" “
Everyone quickly understood. Could it be that this Liu Bei had contacted other civil and military generals of Yi Province? Everyone looked at each other and then at the person they suspected the most.
The person who suspected the most frowned, while the person who was suspected was immediately annoyed and angry.
Only Zhang Song himself knew that Liu Bei had bet all his capital on him. There was no one else at all.
"If there are other people, we will lose all clues if we kill Zhang Song now. On the contrary, if we can follow the vine to the melon, we can catch all these hidden traitors in one fell swoop!" Yan Yan said to everyone present.
"Old General Zhang's brilliant plan!" Everyone looked at Yan Yan and sighed.
"Old General Zhang!" Zhang Su still needs to work harder.
"Old General Zhang's words are very good! Listen to Old General Zhang. Guards, throw Zhang Song into the prison and keep a close watch. We will deal with him after we interrogate the other traitors and spies! " Liu Zhang also nodded and issued the order.
"Yes!" His personal guards nodded and took Zhang Song away.
Zhang Song didn't move his eyes away until he left. Instead, he fixed his eyes on Fa Zheng.
Fa Zheng stood at the side and heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, Zhang Song's life was temporarily protected. As for whether he would die below, only the heavens knew.
Zhang Su looked at Fa Zheng with resentment. He didn't dare to resent Yan Yan, nor did he dare to resent Liu Zhang. He could only vent his resentment on Fa Zheng.
Just you wait, Fa Xiaozhi. I will make you pay the price. As for Zhang Song! Hmph, do you think you can escape after being thrown into prison? "
Zhang Su's resentment naturally wasn't enough.
After Zhang Song was suppressed, Yan Yan took another step forward and cupped his fist towards Liu Zhang. "Lord, since we already know that Liu Bei schemed against the vanguard and Zhang Song betrayed us, we should immediately issue an order for General Zhang Ren to command the army and stop the attack!" Yan Yan said to Liu Zhang.
Zhang Ren and Liu Bei's army besieged Kuai Yue and Cai Mao's army. Previously, they wanted to eliminate Cai Mao and Kuai Yue first before dealing with Pang Shiyuan.
Now that they knew that this was Pang Shiyuan's plan, he wanted to kill with a borrowed knife. He wanted to eliminate Kuai Yue and Cai Mao who didn't get along well with him so that his lord could get rid of two stumbling blocks and quickly take over Jing Province.
Now that they knew the plan, they naturally wouldn't let him succeed.
This was also the result that Fa Zheng wanted to see.
If it was just to expose Zhang Song, Fa Zheng didn't have to do this. He could have just used the recommendation letter with Fa Zheng's fingerprints.
The reason why he took such a big detour was to let Yi Province know about Jing Province's plan so that they could retreat and get rid of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.
As expected, Liu Zhang nodded.
In any case, they definitely couldn't let the enemy get what they wanted. Since Pang Shiyuan and Cai Mao had a grudge against each other, they should just let them fight among themselves. When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
"Men, pass down my orders. Zhang Ren, retreat immediately!" Liu Zhang was about to give the order.
"Wait!" Fa Zheng spoke again.
"Xiaozhi, do you have anything else to say?" Fa Zheng had just exposed Zhang Song. Naturally, Liu Zhang's impression of him had improved a little as well, he asked.
"My Lord, Pang Shiyuan wants to kill with a borrowed knife. He wants our army to eliminate Kuai Yue and Cai Mao because the conflict between Liu Bei and the Cai Family is already irreconcilable in Jing Province. Not only should we not retreat, but we should also help Cai Mao and Kuai Yue deal with Liu Bei and Liu Xuande! "Fa Zheng suggested to Liu Zhang.
"Not retreat? Deal with Liu Bei and Liu Xuande? Wouldn't that be the same as being used as a tool? "A strange voice sounded from the side.
Fa Zheng didn't need to turn around to know that it was Zhang Su.
Fa Zheng pretended to be Zhang Song's notes and gave Zhang Su some letters. He used Zhang Su's mouth to tell everyone some things because he knew that Zhang Su's mouth could not keep secrets. He also knew that this person could not do anything right.
"Although Cai Mao has 50,000 troops and 30,000 of them are elites, they are still the vanguard of Jing Province. Naturally, they wouldn't bring too much rations.
If I were Pang Shiyuan, I would only need to defend Luo Feng Slope and within a few months, Cai Mao's army would collapse without any rations. At that time, as long as Pang Shiyuan collects the defeated troops of Jing Province, Yi Province would be in danger again! "Fa Zheng spoke frankly.
"What if we help this Cai Pa Yue? After defeating Pang Shiyuan's army, do you think Cai Mao will stay in Yi Province? Or will he return to Jing Province? " Fa Zheng asked despite knowing the answer.
Everyone didn't need to think to know that once Cai Pa defeated Pang Shiyuan's troops and broke out of the encirclement, he would naturally return to Jing Province.
You, Liu Bei, played such a game and even wanted to kill the other party.
It would be strange if he didn't take revenge. Furthermore, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's headquarters were in Jing Province. Liu Bei wanted to swallow Cai Mao and Kuai Yue up.
In that case, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue would naturally rush back to Jing Province. Once this debt was settled, war would be unavoidable. Jing Province would naturally be in chaos.
In that case, the threat of Yi Province would be eliminated.
"This plan is feasible." Before Liu Zhang could say anything, Yan Yan spoke up. Among all the officials present, he was the only one who had this authority. After all, he was Liu Yan's old general.
"Driving the wolf to devour the tiger! Lord Fa Zheng, you are a genius. I am in awe! "Yan Yan didn't care about Fa Zheng's praise at all.
"Old General, you flatter me!" Fa Zheng lowered his head and said humbly.
"My Lord, how can we help Cai Mao and Kuai Yue?" Although Zhang Su on the side also thought that this move was very useful, as long as Fa Zheng insisted, then Zhang Su would do the right thing.
"My Lord, General Zhang Ren's army of thirty thousand is the majority of Yi Province's elites. They were also transferred from other places. If we help Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, if anything happens to them, our Yunnan border and our defense against Zhang Lu will be greatly reduced!" The elite soldiers that Zhang Ren led were all gathered from Yi Province.
Half of them were transferred from Tong Pass to fight against Zhang Lu's army.
If anything happened, it would be difficult to deal with. Furthermore, Zhang Lu didn't know about the transfer of the army. If Zhang Lu knew, he would definitely attack.
Liu Zhang also nodded. Liu Zhang was an indecisive person.
"Hmph, if we don't help Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, once Cai Mao and Kuai Yue are defeated, Yi Province will be next!" Yan Yan said unhappily to Zhang Su.
Yan Yan was an old general, so he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhang Su.
"Master Zhang Su is right. Zhang Lu in the northwest is ready to make trouble. Well then, this old man will personally go into battle. He's just a clown. As long as this old man is there, I'd like to see how Zhang Lu can threaten our Yi Province!" Yan Yan said coldly.
"What?" Everyone couldn't believe their ears. They wanted to know if they had misheard. What did Old General Yan Yan just say?
He wants to go to war again?
Is Lianpo still able to eat? This was a praise for Lianpo, a famous general from the Warring States Period. However, it was also a pity that the young generals weren't able to hold their own.
The current Yi Province wasn't much different from the previous Zhao Country.
There were only a few capable generals among the young generation. The problem was that Liu Zhang didn't put him in an important position. Therefore, it was no wonder that others would bully Yi Province.
Yan Yan was going to go to Tong Pass personally?
Yan Yan's prestige in Yizhou was really unprecedented. She had followed Liu Yan to Shuchuan in the past. It was Yan Yan who helped Shuchuan lay down such a huge foundation.
There was no one in Shu Chuan who wasn't afraid of Yan Yan. Similarly, Yan Yan's Lord Zhijun was also very capable.
If Yan Yan went to Tong Pass, he would really be able to stop Zhang Lu.
Now that Old General Yan Yan said so, even if Zhang Su wanted to say something, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Fortunately, Old General Yan!" Liu Zhang also cupped his fist and said to Yan Yan.
"It's my duty to serve my Lord!" Yan Yan said to Liu Zhang, "My Lord, I have a request!"
"Old General Yan, feel free to ask me anything!" Liu Zhang waved his hand and said.
"My Lord, once Zhang Song is gone, the position of Yi Province's Lord will be vacant!"
"Old General Yan, do you have any candidates in mind?" Liu Zhang thought that Yan Yan had come out to ask for an official position. Liu Zhang felt very strange. Usually, Yan Yan really regarded official positions as dung.
"My Lord, this person is talented and has a deep mind. If he becomes Yi Province's Lord, he won't be weaker than Zhang Song!"
"Oh? Where is this person? " Liu Zhang's interest was aroused. There weren't many people who could be compared with Zhang Song. If Zhang Song hadn't gone too far this time, Liu Zhang wouldn't have been willing to punish him!
"Isn't he far away on the horizon but right in front of you?" Yan Yan pointed to Fa Zheng and said.
