Chapter 725: Meet Zhang Song

Let’s talk about Xu Huang’s army. After solving Hanzhong, the army continued to station in Jiameng Pass, training its soldiers every day, waiting for Jiang Gan to return from Yizhou. If it weren’t for Jiang Gan’s news, Xu Huang’s personality would have already raised troops to kill Jiangge.

After Xu Huang's army captured Hanzhong, Jiang Gan went to Yizhou under the escort of several guards, which was a strategy that the General Staff Department had formulated long ago. Although it was unlikely that he would convince Liu Zhang to surrender, his purpose was mainly to visit the two high-ranking officials of Yizhou, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, especially Zhang Song. He was very critical. He not only had extremely high strategy, but also had real power in Yizhou. He was a senior official in the group of Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

In history, Zhang Song originally wanted to give Ying Cao a detailed map of his entry into Yizhou, but when Cao Cao saw Zhang Song, he looked down on Zhang Song very much and did not respect him very much in words. This made Zhang Song very unhappy and did not give the map to Cao Cao.

Liu Bei, who received Zhang Song halfway through, respected Zhang Song and received Zhang Song well under the guidance of Zhuge Liang. Zhang Song felt very happy. He inadvertently gave Liu Bei the map of Xichuan, which played an extremely important role in Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan. If there was no Zhang Song's map, Liu Bei would have to pay a heavy price to successfully take over Yizhou. In this regard, Zhang Song's contribution was very great.

The ancients attached great importance to appearance, especially those Confucian scholars and senior officials valued the appearance of literati more. This should be called the first impression! It is considered to be a first impression! Zhang Song, in history, caused misunderstandings in Cao Cao's appearance; and the same period, the same ending was the same. He went to Jiangdong first, but Sun Quan felt that his appearance was too ugly and would not be valued. Later, Zhuge Liang recommended it to Liu Bei. Although he explained it, Liu Bei did not take it seriously when he saw Emperor Tuo Emperor and Empress, and asked Emperor Tuo Emperor to be a small county magistrate. Later, it was not Zhuge Liang who asked, and it was probably that Emperor Tuo would continue to stay and would not attract Liu Bei's attention and use. The most typical one was Yuan Shao. Employing people mainly depends on whether they looked good. If they were good-looking, they would be valued. If they were not good-looking, they would be hard to be valued.

Because Zhang Song created Liu Bei, his friend Fa Zheng also surrendered to Liu Bei. Fa Zheng's strategy was extremely high and he was praised by Cao Cao. In particular, Fa Zheng was very excellent in tactics. Zhuge Liang had the support of Fa Zheng in the early stage in the military, and it was also the support of Fa Zheng. Zhuge Liang also created many excellent achievements. Later, after Fa Zheng was excluded, Zhuge Liang's military use became worse and worse, especially after killing Ma Su, Zhuge Liang's shortcomings in tactics became even more obvious.

Lu Ning is a time traveler, so of course he knows the importance of Zhang Song. If Zhang Song can be solved, it means that Xu Huang's army will have a great support when he enters Sichuan, which will make it possible to capture Yizhou and will reduce casualties. Of course, Lu Ning also attaches great importance to Zhang Song's ability and will not care about appearance at all.

After Jiang Gan arrived in Chengdu, he first learned about the situation in Chengdu, especially the local customs and humanities and geography. He did not go directly to Liu Zhang's official residence to ask for a visit, but first inquired about Zhang Song's official residence, preparing to visit Zhang Song first, and then go to meet Liu Zhang, the leader of Yizhou.

A few days later, the guards beside Jiang Gan came to report that Zhang Song had returned to his house, and then he brought gifts to Zhang Song's official residence.

After arriving at Zhang Song's official residence, Jiang Gan respectfully said to the guard: "Is this Zhang Song and Zhang Biejia's official residence?"

The guard glanced at Jiang Gan, with a sharp mouth and a raised forehead. He looked really not very good, and he was really comparable to his master Zhang Song.

Seeing that the other party was very polite, the guard said kindly: "This is Zhang Biejia's official residence. Are you doing anything?"

Jiang Gan quickly handed over the promise, took out two silver coins from his pocket and stuffed them into Emon's hand. He said with a smile on his face: "I came from Jinyang, and I came to pay special attention to Zhang Biejia. Please inform me."

Seeing that this kid is not very good-looking, he is very good at being a human being and understands the worldly ways. Besides, he has received benefits, so how can he not inform him?

After taking Jiang Gan's reply, Emon said, "You can wait here for a while, and I will inform you of the other drivers."

Jiang Gan smiled and said, "Thank you!"

As soon as Zhang Song got home, the maid made a cup of good tea and brought it to him. After taking two sips, he saw the guard coming in and said, "Master, there is a guest from Jinyang outside the door who wants to see you." After that, he handed the Jiang Gan post in his hand to Zhang Song.

Zhang Song took the post and saw that Jiang Gan, Jiang Ziyi, and a senior official from the Ministry of Rites under Lu Ning had nothing to do with him. He didn't seem to know each other, so what does it mean to come to visit him at this time?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Song understood that after all, Xu Huang's army had just taken Hanzhong and set off for Yizhou. Jiang Gan's visit at this time was probably related to this matter.

In this sensitive period, are you not seeing each other? Once you are noticed after seeing each other, it will bring you many inconveniences; if you don’t see each other, you will promote an opportunity. Of course, Zhang Song knew in his heart that Yizhou could not be preserved.

Zhang Song weighed the pros and cons and said, "Invite Mr. Jiang in."

Originally, Zhang Song was also a famous person who was familiar with the current affairs, but Lu Ning's approach in Jinyang left a shadow in the hearts of Zhang Song and other families; especially Lu Ning's concern about land, which was a policy that Zhang Song and others could not accept, so Zhang Song hesitated to see him or not.

After Jiang Gan came in with the guard, he was a little stunned when he saw Zhang Song! His appearance was too bad, even worse than himself. He was really a fellow disciple!

After saluting Zhang Song, Jiang Gan said respectfully: "Zhang Biejia, I have long admired my reputation! I am really lucky to see you today!"

Seeing that Jiang Gan was really not good, he was not much better than himself, Zhang Song suddenly felt a little intimate. After all, in this era, literati are very despised.

Zhang Song smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry!"

Jiang Gan immediately asked his subordinates to give gifts, and said respectfully, "Zhang Biejia, the journey is long and there is no good gift, please accept it!" After saying that, he paused a moment, picked up a sword and said, "This is the fairy sword of my lord General Lu. This sword has once drank the blood of the Xianbei people in my lord's hands."

In fact, these are nonsense. It doesn’t matter whether this sword has drunk the blood of the Xianbei people. What matters is that Lu Ning’s sword is a gift given to Zhang Song by Lu Ning; once this sword is put on the blood of the enemy, it will be of different value; Lu Ning has given several swords, but don’t they all say that they have drunk the blood of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people?

Those who were given swords were all Han ethnic groups. It was even more different when they heard the blood of the Huns and Xianbei people. The Han border had been invaded by foreign barbarians such as the Xiongnus and Xianbei people for hundreds of years; and Lu Ning destroyed the Huns and Xianbei people for the Han people and gave the people a stable border, of course, it was something that the Han people would be very happy about.
