Chapter 1326: Famous 25 Aberdeen Diplomats

Bai Xiaowen knew about the news long before—even before the person who informed him.

After Liu Zhang's envoy entered the border of Hanzhong, he was first greeted by Qiao Rui, then by Li Shuyi, and finally by Cecilia. They almost entered Nanzheng City surrounded by crowds.

The reason is very simple, because the name of this emissary is Zhang Song.

Zhang Song is a well-known diplomat of the second and fifth sons in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he left quite positive comments. When Zhang Song died, there was a mourning poem.

Looking at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Song is the only one who can receive mourning poems among the vast number of Erwuzi.

On the one hand, Zhang Song's personality is quite arrogant. He didn't sacrifice Yizhou for fame and fortune, but for a more lofty reason-to understand the Lord.

On the other hand, Zhang Song has the talent of never forgetting his photographs, and this talent also makes the author of the novel (who is not well-known) feel sorry for him.

In Romance, Zhang Song was sent as an envoy to Cao Cao at the beginning. He originally wanted to dedicate Yizhou to Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao judged people by appearance and despised virtuous people, which hurt Zhang Song, who was ugly in appearance and proud in heart; and then returned to Yizhou On the way, he was cut off by Liu Bei.

At the beginning, Liu Bei only had Jingzhou, and he was eager to take Xichuan, so he was very attentive and caring to Zhang Song.

Take a look at this specification: first send Zhao Yun to greet him; Liu Bei.

Bai Xiaowen is now the Duke of Yan, so he can't go out to greet him in person like Liu Bei, otherwise not only Zhang Song will be surprised, but even the generals under his command will feel injustice.

Even if Bai Xiaowen didn't greet him in person, the ostentation of the three cronies has given Zhang Song enough face.

Bai Xiaowen met Zhang Song in Nanzheng Taishou's mansion.

Zhang Song is the same as in the novel, he looks a bit ugly. In ancient China, where people are judged by their appearance, it really takes ability to be able to do the job of Yizhou Biejia.

Zhang Song met Bai Xiaowen for the first time, and after meeting Bai Xiaowen according to the etiquette, he presented Liu Zhang's letter.

After dismantling and reviewing it, Bai Xiaowen smiled and said to the left and right: "Liu Zhang felt uneasy seeing Gu pacify Hanzhong, so he sent an envoy to ask when to withdraw the troops, which is to test whether Gu has the intention of taking Xichuan in disguise."

Xun You said: "The people of Yizhou are rich and the country is rich, and the population is substantial; Hanzhong is also the gateway to Yizhou. Now that Duke Yan has taken Hanzhong, how can he abandon Yizhou?"

The other generals all nodded in agreement.

Bai Xiaowen pondered and said: "I have heard for a long time that the mountain roads in Yizhou are rugged and there are many passes. If there is no one in Sichuan to lead the imperial army, it may not be easy to collect."

This is an obvious hint.

However, Zhang Song didn't react in the slightest, his small mung bean-sized eyes looked around, but he didn't speak.

Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "What's Zhang Biejia's intention? If he can help the imperial court regain Yizhou, there must be a gift from a high-ranking official."

Zhang Song twitched his mouth and said with a smile: "There are no treacherous people in my Sichuan."

Bai Xiaowen, both civil and military, was a little annoyed. Zhang Song's words, if interpreted in an extended way, mean that "your method will not work in our Sichuan", which is a disguised way to say that there are treacherous people in Central China.

When Bai Xiaowen saw the civil servants under his command, someone wanted to refute Zhang Song, so he hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Don't drive far away to work hard, but you can take a rest in the post. After I think about it, I will write a letter to reply to your master." .”

After Zhang Song retreated,

The generals under his command said one after another:

"My lord treats Zhang Song very politely, and personally invites him. Zhang Song has blind eyes and doesn't know God, so why be polite to him."

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "My true intention is to accept Xichuan, but I must win Xichuan's heart. I intend to accept this pine tree, but I can only show kindness, not coercion."

After this meeting broke up unhappy, the small theater within the teammates began.

Qiao Rui: "Hey, this is the first time I've seen the charming captain deflated."

Cecilia: "Yeah, for this meeting, Dio also recited an ancient poem..."

Li Shuyi: "Is Zhang Song a man, or an ugly man, maybe because his aesthetics are different from ordinary people?"

Han Xu: "..."

Bai Xiaowen: "...If it wasn't for Zhen Mi's absence, I would be devastated?"

Li Shuyi: "Uh, huh?"

Bai Xiaowen: "...Ahem, the weather is fine today. I'm going to treat Zhang Song to dinner, so what should you do?"

...

Zhang Song stayed at Nanzheng Post Office for three consecutive days.

For these three days, Bai Xiaowen must invite Zhang Song to a banquet every day, relying on his high charisma, to marry Zhang Song.

Zhang Song's attitude, from the pretentious arrogance at the beginning, gradually removed the disguise, and discussed with Bai Xiaowen every day the world's people, customs and customs.

Zhang Song is indeed a learned person. If Bai Xiaowen hadn't had a broad vision and quick response, he might not have been able to keep up with Zhang Song's conversation rhythm.

On the third day, Zhang Song stood up at the banquet and wanted to resign: "Duke Yan, I have been here for a long time. My lord Liu Zhang urgently needs to write back."

Bai Xiaowen sighed: "Gu and Zhang farewell, we hit it off right away. Don't drive here, I don't know when we will meet again."

While speaking, Bai Xiaowen's eye circles were a little red.

After all, he doesn't have Liu Bei's ability to cry when he says he wants to cry, and now that he is Duke Yan, he has the burden of being an idol. The red eye circles were caused by secretly smearing some wine.

Zhang Song was moved, and suddenly bowed down and said:

"To tell you the truth, I'm going out of Sichuan this time as an envoy. In fact, I want to ask a wise master to agree with me. I pretended to be arrogant a few days ago, just to test Yan Gong's mind.

"Even though Duke Yan is young, he has great talent and strategy. He conquered the north and unified the Central Plains. With such extraordinary achievements, he can still respect the corporals. It is beyond Zhang Song's expectations. I would like to present the geography map of the forty-one states and counties of Xichuan , to help Duke Yan achieve an immortal foundation!"

Bai Xiaowen was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Zhang Song up and said, "Bie Zhang is lonely, like Lu Wang is Zhou, and Zhang Liang is Han."

Even Zhang Song, who thinks highly of himself, felt a little embarrassed when he heard these two words of flattery. However, these words came from Yan Guogong's mouth, and they were basically the comments of the number one person in the world. Zhang Song was naturally very happy in his heart.

Then resume the banquet. Bai Xiaowen asked about the situation in Shu. Zhang Song didn't hide anything, and came one by one.

It turned out that there was a period of time before, that is, when Bai Xiaowen had just pacified Ma Chao and made Yan Guogong, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong wanted to establish himself as the King of Han Ning, but was dissuaded by his subordinate Yan Pu and others.

In order to prevent Zhang Lu from becoming king on his own, Yan Pu persuaded Zhang Lu to annex Xichuan first, and then it would not be too late to become king by sitting on the land of two Sichuans.

Shan Fu (Xu Shu), who lives here as a guest, also agrees.

Zhang Lu was an uninitiated person, so he adopted Yan Pu and Shan Fu's suggestion, stationed troops in Bazhong, and peeped at Xichuan.

Liu Zhang was afraid, so he invited Liu Bei from Jingzhou to help Xichuan and resist Zhang Lu for the sake of the same clan.

Currently, Liu Bei is stationed at Jiameng Pass.
