Chapter 610 Zhang Song
"I'm Titi. Tell me, what's the matter with you? It's impossible to pay on credit again. Jia Rong laughed and said that Yuan Shao owed Jia Rong a lot of money. These were all the elimination weapons sold to the Jizhou army after the Xiliang army attacked Luyang, which was also to win over Yuan Shao to a certain extent.
"It's for the two families." Examine the way.
"Let's talk about it."
"And today, the strongest one is Cao Jun..."
"If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I will beat you out. Cao's army is the strongest." After the general standing aside heard such a judgment, someone immediately couldn't stand up. What did the generals care about most? Of course, it was the reputation of his army outside. Even the messengers of Jizhou thought so, not to mention the people of the world.
The trial match was also a little aggrieved. He knew that the Xiliang army was full of military strength, which was also to easily gain Jia Rong's trust and pave the way for a series of work in the future. Unexpectedly, the generals in the room did not follow the routine and directly scolded him, which made the judges stunned, and almost forgot what to say next.
Jia Rong motioned the general down and waved his hand and said, "Well, no need to say so much. I already understand what your lord means. Isn't it an alliance? I and I are allies, so it takes so much politeness."
"The words of King Liang are also." According to the trial, the two sides are originally an ally. They came to Chang'an just to deepen the relationship between the two sides.
"Not only Jizhou, but also Cao Jun, who has just seized the land by me, has also sent messengers. Your two families have always had a grudge. If I formed an alliance with your two families at the same time, wouldn't it be a little imbe of morality?" Jia Rong said carelessly.
The judge was shocked when Yanzhou also came to the messenger. In this way, the situation in Jizhou will become more critical. If Jia Rong agrees to cooperate with Cao Cao's fierce tiger, Jizhou is more and less lucky, especially the weapons provided by the Xiliang Army, are enough to influence the situation on the battlefield.
"King Liang, Cao Cao..." Examine the way.
Jia Rong stopped him and said, "I'm doing things, and I still need you to dictate. If nothing happens, please go down and have a rest."
The envoys of Jizhou and Cao Jun met in the city. Naturally, they were frowned and raised their eyes. There was nothing they could do. Jia Rong arranged their accommodation in a similar place. When they went out and looked up, they could see it. The two had a lot of arguments for a few days, which made Chang'an officials have another talk.
"Lord, the envoys of Jizhou and Cao Jun have arrived in Chang'an one after another. I don't know what's the plan?" In the dim light, Jia Rong, Guo Jia, Zhang Li, Zhang Zhao and others sat in the house.
"Yuan Shao in Jizhou, there is no need to worry, and the Cao army lost the land of Luyang under the offensive of our army before. It is really not easy to maintain such a mentality. The Cao army should not provoke our army for the time being. After the battle of Luoyang, the troops, grain and materials have been lost a lot. Rest and recuperation is the right way, and the princes of the Central Plains must be I won't be honest." Jia Rongdao.
"What the lord said is just how to reply to the messengers of Jizhou and Cao Jun." Guo Jia asked.
"It's simple. Find an official to deal with them later. It's better to knock out a little property from the two families." Zhang Li said with a smile.
Jia Rong pointed to Zhang Li and said, "I didn't expect Brother Zirong to be more and more cunning."
"Lord, the humble position has been changed. Just call me Ziwen in the future." Zhang Lidao.
Jia Rong nodded slightly and did not refuse. He knew the meaning of Zhang Li's words. Now he is the king of Liang. Zhang Li's words have a certain conflict with his name, and Zhang Li's change of words is also respect for himself.
"To be expected, not only Jizhou and Cao Jun, but also other princes in the Central Plains will send messengers to come, and then we can make more money." Zhang Zhaodao.
Guo Jia said carelessly, "What makes more money is not a big expense to provide them with food and accommodation, and these people are better than monkeys. They can't wait to break a piece of money into two halves, and expect them to buy something in the city."
"Ha ha, even if it's to please me, I believe they will be generous. After all, it's about the face of a prince. Presumably in the next few days, you will receive a lot of invitations to go to dinner. Don't be soft-mouthed and eat hard for me, but if you let you do things, you can also Let's agree first and discuss it later. Jia Rongdao.
Several people looked at each other and laughed.
"On the one hand, the king of Jizhou is bound to win." In front of his confidant, Jia Rong did not mean to cover up his inner thoughts.
"Well, Jizhou is a place rich in grain. After getting Jizhou, it is like a tiger adding wings to our army." Jia Xu echoed.
"This matter must be kept secret and should not be spread out, so as not to arouse Yuan Shao's vigilance."
"Yuan Shao?" Jia Rong smiled and said, "As long as the Xiliang Army sells weapons to him, it will be difficult to do anything with Xu You by his side."
The matter of Luoyang has come to an end, but the officials who govern the land have not yet been determined. Chen Zhen has governed the three auxiliary land of Chang'an for many years. He is very experienced and talented. He is one of the few talents in the Xiliang army. Jia Rong wants to arrange him in Luoyang.
"Filial piety, how are you dealing with business recently?" Jia Rong said with a smile.
Chen Zhen's performance in front of Jia Rong is not as casual as Guo Jia. Chen Zhen also participated in some important meetings, but the status of Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others in Jia Rong's heart is naturally worse.
"To the lord, now there are more than 800,000 people in the land of Chang'an, and more than 150,000 people in the city. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the humble position is also in accordance with the master's strategy to govern the place." Chen Zhen replied.
Jia Rong nodded and said, "The land of Chang'an Sanfu has bothered filial piety. Now our army has newly occupied Luoyang. The background of Luoyang is naturally much more than that of Chang'an. I don't know if filial piety has the intention to govern?"
"The humble position obeys the master's dispatch." Chen Zhen's heart moved slightly, and his face remained unchanged.
"Okay, from now on, you are the assassin of Jizhou. Now you will govern Luyang and other places first." Jia Rongdao, the state herdsman of the Han Dynasty, has absolute control over the land of a state. With a grasp of military politics, the assassin's history is different.
Chen Zhen said, "Thank you very much, my lord. I will do my best to repay the lord's kindness."
Jizhou's assassin, now Jizhou has not reached his own hands. This is also to issue a check first. After Jizhou is in his own hands, Chen Zhen will immediately take office. Today's treatment is the same as that of Jizhou's assassins. The princes also like to use this method to perform in this way. Out of the love for the minister, on the other hand, it shows the ambition of the lord.
Chen Zhen and He Xuren saw some clues from Jia Rong's promotion as the governor of Jizhou.
As expected, but in ten days, messengers from Jiangdong, messengers from Yizhou, and even Jingzhou, who has always been at peace with Jia Rong, also sent messengers.
Now Liu Biao has become emperor. Although this emperor has not been recognized, the messenger sent is full of official prestige and magnificent at any time.
The messenger sent by Yizhou was beyond Jia Rong's expectation. For many years, Liu Yan has been staying in the kingdom of heaven and did not dare to show his head. He did not know how much grain, grass, soldiers and horses he had accumulated. After waiting for the world to change, he would learn from Han Gaozu, go out of Yizhou and determine the world.
"Dear messengers, thank you for your hard work. King Liang is not feeling well and has rested in the house. I will do it for you to receive you." After receiving such a task, Chen Zhen put down his official business and hurried to the restaurant.
Receiving messengers is not a trivial matter. It is about the face of a prince. It is not just a meal. It is necessary to take care of all the messengers, let them feel the owner's heart, and find out the purpose of their arrival. Fenglailou is very famous in Chang'an.
Chen Zhen's performance was moderate, and the reception place was the famous Chang'an Fenglai Building. The messenger did not find anything wrong and was very cooperative.
Yizhou's messenger is Zhang Song, with long thieves and mouse eyes. It makes people feel that he is not a good person than Liu Si. There are many messengers talking about this thing during the banquet. After all, scholars in this era care very much about their appearance, and romanticism is the goal pursued by everyone. When the princes use people, the first thing they look at is the appearance of talents. Appearance.
Zhang Song didn't care about this. He frequently raised chopsticks, ate vegetables, and drank heavily during the banquet. He didn't have the demeanor that a literati should have. With his appearance, he was like a street gangster.
"It's fate that you can get together. King Liang knows your intention, and King Liang also said that when friends come, there will be good wine and vegetables to entertain. When the enemy comes, there will only be swords and halberd." Chen Zhen put down the wine cup and said lightly.
The messengers in the banquet were all transparent people. How could they not understand the meaning of this sentence? On the contrary, Zhang Song, the messenger of Yizhou, did not care at all. Liu Yan himself was not very interested in this trip to Chang'an. It was only that the soldiers of Xiliang army went out of Hangu Pass and seized the land of Luyang, which made the ministers of Yizhou pay attention to the Xiliang army. For so many years, they have been hiding at home and know a lot about the world. The strength of the Xiliang Army has long been well known to the public.
He inquired about the purpose of all the messengers. Chen Zhen left with satisfaction. The banquet was also very successful. Of course, the money spent was not a lot. Chen Zhen even suggested that Jia Rong open a restaurant belonging to the Xiliang Army. Whenever a messenger came or Jia Rong invited guests to dinner, It can save a lot of money. However, Jia Rong let his subordinates eat in Fenglai Building, which also consumes very little. He only needs to provide food money. The wine is all supplied by Xiliangjun himself, and Fengya is also happy to do so. When officials go in and out of Fenglai Building, it can show the status of Fenglai Building.
"Yizhou messenger Zhang Song?" Jia Rong doubted, but he was a little familiar with the name.
