Chapter 1308 Reception

Five days later, Zhang Song came to the border of Xiangyang, and Ma Chao personally went out of the city to welcome him 200 miles.

Along the way, it can be said that the gongs and drums are loud, the etiquette and music are loud, and the treatment is very grand. Before the 100 officials in Jingzhou, Ma Chao only felt that he was the first in his life to be treated like this, and although he died, he was satisfied.

And the effect was indeed unexpectedly good. When Ma Chao saw Zhang Pan'an Ma with a rune, he clearly saw the surprise and excitement in Zhang Song's eyes. However, it has to be mentioned that Zhang Song's appearance is really difficult to compliment. He is short and thin, but he wears a robe, which looks very funny. A forehead is as narrow and wide as a hoe, the bridge of the nose collapses, and the fangs are exposed, especially the two rat whiskers, which gives people a sense of obscenity.

However, Fortunately, he was psychologically prepared in advance, and Ma Chao also knew that Zhang Song was well-informed and talented. Instead of disdain, he greeted Zhang Song when he just dismount. After waiting for Zhang Song to salute, he grabbed Zhang Song's hand: "Yong Nian, when I heard the name of your great talent in Chang'an. Thousands of mountains and rivers are separated, and we have never been able to meet each other. Today, you visited Xiangyang and finally understood my thoughts. Fortunately, I'm very lucky!"

As King Ma Chaoyong, it is possible to say this kind of flattery, which can be called an ordinary person. However, Zhang Song saw that Ma Chao was so enthusiastic, and his excitement when he disembothed the horse was swept away. His eyes were wary and he said with some shame and said, "King Yong Molai is here to relax. He has a few pounds of himself, and he knows it in his heart."

Although Zhang Song is short, his voice is extremely high. If ordinary people say so, with a humble smile, it can also be regarded as a joke and modesty. But Zhang Song's cow's eyes were staring, his neck was blocked, and his voice was like a quarrel. It was really difficult for people to associate what he had just said with a joke.

Kuang Liang, Kui Yue and Jingzhou civil servants around Ma Chao were all angry, but after Ma Chao was slightly stunned, he said with great surprise, "What is Yongnian talking about? Fa Xiaozhi's father recommended Yongnian to me several times. Xu Shao also said that you are a talented person in the world. It is a pity that Yongnian has already devoted himself to Liu Yizhou. Although I have admired him for a long time, I can only hide it in my heart. Today, I finally look forward to Yongnian, and I will definitely have a good talk!"

I don't know whether Ma Chao's words are too real or his expression is too realistic. Zhang Song saw Ma Chao's sincere fist, and his face gradually softened. It seemed that he believed that Ma Chao really admired him. Then he bowed his hand and said in a harmonious voice, "King Yong is a world-class hero, and Song is also admired in Shu. Today, when I see that King Yong is such a virtuous corporal, it is really the demeanor of a generation of virtuous kings!"

"Forever, please!" Ma Chao accepted Zhang Song's gift with a smile. He knew that the necessary bottom line was to be grasped. Zhang Song is too shrewd and arrogant. Once he looks too humble, he will definitely see that he has something in mind.

"King Yong, please!" Zhang Song also extended his hand and smiled, as if he had completely put down his guard against Ma Chao.

"The same is!" Ma Chao took Zhang Song's hand and took him to his chariot.

These six carriages are the most luxurious carriages that the princes can ride. The appearance decoration is extremely luxurious, and the six healthy horses are also cool horses in the west. They are snow-white and not half colorful, and Shenjun is very good. In the previous life, these luxury cars are more popular than Maserati and Ferrari. After all, in this era, you can't sit casually if you have money - the harsh feudal etiquette stipulates that only princes can be driven by six horses. This time, Ma Chao asked Zhang Song to drive this luxury car with him, which really gave Zhang Song enough face.

Zhang Song couldn't stand this sugar-coated shell. Along the way, I talked and laughed with Ma Chao, talked about the local customs of Shu, and occasionally talked about the strategy of the Ma family's six states to take off, which was even more arduous, and occasionally judgments were also straight to the point. It was not until then that Ma Chao knew that Zhang Song was indeed aggrieved by Liu Zhang: This guy is really talented!

Ma Chao dares not say that he is a talent lover, but people who have the ability are indeed respected wherever they go. Zhang Song was unlucky in history because he met Cao Cao, who was more powerful than him, and also teased Cao Cao with his little cleverness, causing Cao Cao to look down on Zhang Song. However, Ma Chao did not have this kind of scruples. From beginning to end, he did not think that he could compare with these guys who have left their names in history.

As a result, the banquet in the county guard's mansion, which was deliberately a play, really became a conversation between Ma Chao and Zhang Song. Ma Chao set the tone of the banquet. Although Zhang Song is arrogant, the Jingzhou scholars still welcome Zhang Song. For a while, everyone in the hall recited poems and talked about the policy of governing the country. The losers were automatically willing to drink, and the winners also raised their glasses to accompany them. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

When the wine was strong, Ma Chao was a little drunk. Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt as if he had returned to the time of youth and drinking with friends in his previous life. Unconsciously, he leaned back slightly, raised his legs and straightened, and listened comfortably to the people in the hall talking. But he didn't know that what he had done at this time was already a little dissolute.

Zhang Song took a look at Ma Chao and saw that everyone in the hall was not surprised by this. For a moment, instead of feeling that Ma Chao was arrogant, he was as free and easy as him. He couldn't help smiling and raising his glass of toast.

Ma Chao didn't know why Zhang Song respected him. He only felt that Zhang Song's smile was very friendly. He immediately leaned forward, picked up the cup, held his hands flat, raised it slightly, and then drank it all.

The wine tasted clear, spicy and mellow. Ma Chao smashed his lips, but his intention was still not enough. He tasted that this was a good old wine of the Ma family, not easy to get. I was waiting to take this opportunity to talk with Zhang Songpan again, but I heard a person in the hall shout: "Xu Jun! You have always been called a national scholar, but now the Han Dynasty is floating, and the emperor has a place to stand with the help of King Yong. All the gentlemen here hope that you can worry about your country, forget your family, and have the ambition to save the world and help the people. But you only know how to ask for Tian Wenshe, and there is not a word that can be put on the table. This is exactly the act that the ambitious * dragon is very contemptuous. How can he talk to you?! If it were me at that time, I would have to lie a hundred feet upstairs and make you lie on the ground. How can we talk about getting in bed!"

Ma Chao was about to look at that place when he saw Liu Bei get up and scolded a person like a sword. The man was angry and speechless. He was about to look at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao woke up at this time, and suddenly remembered this allusion in history. It was said that Xu Yan, a famous scholar under Liu Biao's account, said that Chen Deng in Xuzhou was arrogant. He once passed by Xia Pi and met Chen Deng*long. Chen Deng actually had no way of hospitality. He didn't even say anything to him. He was lying high in a big **, but let Xu Yan sleep out of bed.

In fact, Xu Yan's narrative concealed the topic he talked about with Chen Deng at that time, which was a key factor that he was despised by Chen Deng. Liu Bei and Chen Deng even made good friends. When Liu Bei, who had always been happy and angry, saw Xu Yan slandering Chen Deng so much, he immediately scolded Xu Dengming. As a result, there is a story of "asking for land and asking for a house" in the Chinese historical idiom.

But at this time, things happened without warning, but Ma Chao felt a little strange. He turned his head and looked at Liu Bei and saw that Liu Bei was still angry, but he was ashamed to hold his fists and plead Ma Chao and others and said, "I was angry for a moment and abruptly made King Yong and everyone. I hope you can forgive me and forgive your sins."

"Although the dragon is a man of the sea and lakes, he is famous all over the world. Although Song has lived in Sichuan for a long time, he also admires *long, such a handsome man with both literature and martial arts and courage. This person can only be sought among the ancients, and it is difficult for anyone to be compared with him in today's world. As soon as you sit down to talk, you are a famous fisher, and you have lived half a life in vain but have no size. You still have the face to talk about * dragons here. You will be scolded by Xuande. If you really take the blame!"

This was said by Zhang Song. After saying that, in addition to his angry face, he seemed to be a little complaous. Finally, he took a look at Liu Bei, raised a glass of wine and motioned Liu Bei to drink.

Until this time, Ma Chao finally recovered. Just as Liu Bei also raised his glass and wanted to drink, he said leisurely with a little disdain, "Although Xu Qing is more biased, Chen Deng in Xuzhou is just a bold person, but also regards himself very high. Such a second-rate person has been commented on by my Jingzhou Junyan. Why not? ..." After saying that, Ma Chao looked sideways at Liu Bei, and the anger in his eyes was obvious.

And Zhang Song was hung on the spot for a while, which was very embarrassing. On the contrary, the people in Jingzhou looked happy and couldn't help but have a good impression on Ma Chao. As for Liu Bei, he could not advance or retreat for a moment, and was stared at by all the famous people in Jingzhou, as if he had become a target of public criticism.

"King Yong, are you bullying me, Zhang Song, who doesn't know Junjie?" Zhang Song finally came to his senses, put his wine glass and said again!
