Chapter 218 Zhang Song sent a pillow
After Ju Shu got the alliance, he left Xiangyang with Gao Lan. At the same time, Xu Shu and Zhou Cang also left. Jizhou is not stable now, and he is about to fight. Liu Qi is worried without Zhou Cang beside Xu Shu.
In order to ensure the safety of Xu Shu, in addition to Zhou Cang, Liu Qi also sent 50 flying tiger guards to follow Xu Shu to ensure Xu Shu's safety. Of course, if you want to complete the task assigned by Liu Qi to Xu Shu, there are naturally not enough people. Therefore, after Xu Shu and others left Xiangyang, Ma Zhong took 200 Jinyi guards to go secretly. Jizhou.
After the secret selection in the past few days, Jinyiwei has expanded to 500 people. All those who can join Jinyiwei are the elites. These people are all selected from Ma Zhongchong Feihuwei, Jinfan Thieves and Flying Tiger Army, so each of them can fight against ten.
Ma Zhong and others will arrive in Jizhou before Xu Shu arrives in Jizhou. They will make a little arrangement in Jizhou to inquire about the situation in Jizhou and prepare for Xu Shu to arrive in Jizhou.
The situation in Jizhou is complicated. Liu Qi originally wanted to send all 500 brocade guards to Jizhou, but Ma Zhong disagreed. Originally, Ma Zhong was responsible for protecting Liu Qi's safety, but Ma Zhong was often sent outside by Liu Qi to carry out tasks, so every time Ma Zhong left, he would take most of the brocade guards. Stay with Liu Qi.
At the same time, Huang Zhong has also left Xiangyang. Although there are Su Fei, Zhao Lei, Han Xuan and Huo Jun in Changsha, they are not generals who can resist one side, so Liu Qi did not stop them.
However, Huang Zhong kept Yang Ling. Zhou Cang followed Xu Shu to Jizhou. The remaining 1,000 powerful soldiers were not under the command. In addition, Huang Zhong saw that there was no one around Liu Qi, so he asked Yang Ling to stay in Xiangyang to help Liu Qi.
After Huang Zhong and others left one after another, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun also quietly left Xiangyang for Jiangxia. Liu Qi had already said hello. Wenpin would not embarras them, and there was no need to doubt the ability of Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, so Liu Qi was not worried about them.
The reason why he was so anxious to let Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun go to Jiangxia was that when he heard that Jiangdong Sun Ce had recovered Wancheng and clashed with Cao Cao's forces, he would rise up an army to attack Jiangxia. Sun Ce's hundreds of thousands of troops, plus Zhou Yu, Zhang Yu and other counselors, Han Dang, Huang Gai and other generals, if he tried his best to advance. Attack, Wenpin may not be able to stop it.
Ma Liang also walked with Zhuge Liang. After Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, was detained back to Xiangyang by Liu Qi, the governor of Jiangxia has been suspended, which also caused some trouble in Jiangxia's government affairs.
Although Wenpin can be suppressed in a short time, once the war breaks out, Wenpin will not have time to deal with these things. The food and fodder need to be dealt with by others, and Ma Liang is the person arranged by Liu Qi for Wen Ping. Jiang Xia or someone can be competent, but Liu Qi can't believe them.
In a day, everyone around Liu Qi left one after another, which made Liu Qi a little reluctant, and Liu Qi's house suddenly became a little lonely. Fortunately, Wang Yi and Liu Pan were still there. Otherwise, it was impossible for Liu Qi to find someone to work for him.
"Lord, Zhang Song, the messenger of Yizhou, asked to see you." A flying tiger guard bowed to Liu Qi.
"Oh, Zhang Song hasn't left yet." Liu Qi was a little surprised, and even said it was a surprise. He had wanted to attract Zhang Song for a long time, but he never had time. Originally, he thought that this Song had also left, but he didn't expect Zhang Song to be there.
The map of Yizhou mountains and rivers in Zhang Song's hand and the defense situation of Yizhou, but Liu Qi dreamed of it. If Liu Qi wants to swallow Yizhou in the west, it will be much more troublesome without this map of Yizhou.
In today's world, the only place where Liu Qi can expand his power is Yizhou in the west. As for Jiangdong in the east, Liu Qi is not sure to take it down in a short time, and even if he takes it down, Jingzhou will lose a lot.
Although he won several small battles in Jiangdong, it did not have any impact on Jiangdong. Jiangdong is far from hurting his muscles and bones.
Yizhou can be said to be a piece of fat meat. How can Liu Qi let it go?
Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there is no person who is very familiar with the situation in Yizhou, it is impossible for him to take it in a short time, so this pine sent him a pillow. How can he miss it?
While ordering people to prepare wine and dishes, Liu Qi ordered people to invite some dancers to come, and he quickly walked to the door of the house.
"Haha, why didn't Mr. Ziqiao send someone to inform him when he came? It's rude for Liu Qi." Although the person has not arrived, the voice has already reached the door of the house.
Zhang Song, who was about to enter the door, was stunned at first, and then looked at Liu Qi, who came quickly in surprise. Liu Qi was so enthusiastic that he couldn't get used to it. The two didn't talk much at the wedding. Now it's the second time they met. How could Liu Qi not surprise Zhang Song with such enthusiasm?
"I take the liberty to visit, and I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhang Song arched his hand to Liu Qi.
"What does Mr. Ziqiao say? The servants don't know how to be polite. It's really rude to block such a great talent as Mr. Ziqiao from the door. Mr. Ziqiao, please come in. Liu Qi said that he had arrived in front of Zhang Song and stretched out his hand to invite Zhang Song into the house.
"Big son, please." Zhang Song increasingly felt that Liu Qi's reaction was unexpected.
"I have long heard that Mr. Ziqiao is a famous sage in Yizhou. It's a pity that I didn't have time to talk to him at the wedding yesterday. I thought he had left, but I didn't expect him to be still there. I was really overjoyed." Liu Qi said to Zhang Song as he walked.
"The eldest son praised it." At this time, Zhang Song's reaction to Liu Qi was not surprising, and his reaction to Liu Qi was very happy. However, it is strange that when his reputation has spread to Jingzhou, even the future lord of Jingzhou knows himself.
"Ha ha, since Mr. Ziqiao is not in a hurry to meet Yizhou, he will rest in Jingzhou for a while. Although there are no historical sites in Xiangyang, there are also several beautiful scenery. Since Mr. Ziqiao is here, let's take a look by the way." Liu Qi said that he had invited Zhang Song into the hall.
Entering the hall, Zhang Song was about to sit down with Liu Qi, but Liu Qi forced Zhang Song to sit on the main seat, and placed a table next to the main seat to sit on his own. As soon as the two sat down, a maid sent wine and vegetables in front of them.
"Ha ha, Mr. Ziqiao, this is the wine of Jufulou, which is very famous in Xiangyang. Sir, let's see if it suits your taste." Liu Qi pointed to the clear wine channel in Zhang Song's cup.
"You're welcome, Mr. Jufulou is also frequent. It's indeed the best wine." Zhang Song shook his head.
Then Liu Qi called Wu Ji again. The two of them ate wine while admiring Wu Ji, which lasted for half an hour before it ended. Then Liu Qi invited Zhang Song to the study.
"I heard that Mr. Ziqiao loves reading very much. If you don't mind it, if you like the book in this study, I will immediately ask someone to copy it for you." Liu Qi pointed to the bamboo slips piled up high. He really can't read these bamboo slips, and he only looks through them casually in his spare time.
"Ha ha, thank you for your good intentions, but although the books are good, it's better to remember them in your mind." Zhang Song smiled and said.
"Oh, I heard that Mr. Ziqiao has never forgotten it since he was a child. Is it true?" Liu Qi looked at Zhang Song in surprise. He was a little curious about Zhang Song's ability to never forget. Liu Qi didn't know if there was anyone in the world, but he had never met him.
"What if you don't forget it? It's still useless." Zhang Song sighed.
"Huh? In this way, does Mr. really have the ability to be unforgettable? Liu Qi was really surprised this time.
"Not bad." Zhang Song nodded.
"Listen to your words as if you encounter something unpleasant. Who dares to be rude to you in the power of Yizhou?" Liu Qi asked.
"Although I am in power, my lord never takes my advice. He can't even take back a small Hanzhong. How can it be compared with Liu Jingzhou's recovery of Wancheng overnight?" Zhang Song looked at Liu Qi again and secretly paid attention to Liu Qi's expression.
Hearing Zhang Song's words, Liu Qi's eyes lit up. Since Liu Yan's death, Zhang Lu has been independent from Yizhou. Liu Zhang has always wanted to take back Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu's strength in Hanzhong is not weak, and the situation has been deadlocked until now.
"My husband is not doing well in Yizhou. As long as my husband says a word, I will immediately go to tell my father. In the future, he can stay in Jingzhou as much as possible, and Mr. Jingzhou Affairs can consider it." Liu Qi did not hide it and ran out of the olive branch directly to Zhang Song.
"Ha ha, the rookie of the emperor, the matter of loyalty to the king, although I'm not talented, I also know it. Just now it's just a joke, the prince doesn't have to pay attention to it." Zhang Song was extremely satisfied with Liu Qi's reaction, but it was impossible for him to really stay in Jingzhou because of Liu Qi's words.
"Well, Jingzhou has lost a great talent." Liu Qi sighed and said, "My husband is depressed. There are also some things in my heart that I need to ask him for advice. Please don't hesitate to give me advice."
"Oh, big son, please tell me." Zhang Songdao.
"Well, now that Jingzhou has taken back Wancheng, Jingzhou's power has also reached a peak, but Jingzhou is too far from Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Now that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are about to go to war, and the two princes will soon unite as one. No matter who can win, the power will definitely increase greatly. At that time, I Xiangyang can It's dangerous. In an instant, the city will be destroyed and people will die. Please teach me. Liu Qi said with a wry smile.
"It's about the life and death of Jingzhou. It's not convenient for me to be an outsider. Please forgive me." Zhang Song shook his head.
"Sir, you can say that it will not be leaked, and no matter what the result is, you will not blame him." Liu Qi looked at Zhang Songqi expectantly.
Although Zhang Song was killed by Liu Zhang because of his foresfidelity with foreign enemies, he was really talented and learned at that time, otherwise he would not have been engaged in Yizhou.
