Chapter 1343 Zhang Su brothers
"Zhongye, Jingzhou is returning to the court, don't be sad.
In this way, you will go and meet Cai and Liu Cong later, and then I will use you with other benefits!"
Wen Pin brought not many soldiers, less than three thousand. After Ma Qiang asked, he found out that Wen Pin had already asked those who were unwilling to continue to serve in the army to go home before coming. Ma Qiang did not blame him. Instead, he felt that Wen Pin was loyal and prepared to reuse him in the future.
Ma Qiang ordered Xiahou Dun to lead his army to occupy Lulin Mountain, and ordered Zhang Ji's army to occupy Jiangling troops along the river to capture Yiling and Zigui, and ordered Xu Huang's army to station troops in Zhangshan in Jiangxia County.
Originally, Ma Qiang was worried that Yizhou would send troops to occupy two important places, Yiling and Zigui, but he did not expect that Yizhou not only did not send troops, but also escorted some Jingzhou troops fleeing to Yizhou to Zhang Jijun, and sent some food and grass to express goodwill.
Ma Qiang was wondering what Liu Zhang was selling in Yizhou, and someone came to report that Liu Zhang from Yizhou sent an envoy Zhang Su to ask for a visit.
Zhang Su?
Who is this?
I knew that there was Zhang Song, who could present pictures in Yizhou.
Ma Qiang asked Kuai Liang, and Kuai Liang replied, "This Zhang Su is a child of the Zhang family of Shu County, and he is engaged in an official residence in Yizhou."
"Oh? I'm engaged in it? I'm not a little bit, let him come in." After saying that, Ma Qiang looked at everyone below and asked, "Tell me, what is Zhang Su here to do?"
Kuai Liang has always studied Yizhou a lot, so he has guessed seven or eight points in his mind, but he has not taken the list to express his thoughts.
He was not completely convinced that Ma Qiang had surrendered due to the situation, but he still wanted to wait and see for a while.
Sima Yi was about to get up, but saw someone faster than him.
"Zhang Su came this time, first to find out the truth of our army, and second to test whether the general was willing to keep Liu Zhang in Yizhou."
Tsk! Who is it!! Why is there anyone who robs my words if Zhuge Liang is not around?
Because of Ma Qiang's proposal before, Zhuge Liang had been sent by Ma Qiang to Guangzong to pick up Huang Yueying to Jingzhou to get married, so he was not in Xiangyang at this time.
When Sima Yi saw that he was a newly surrendered person from Jingzhou, he couldn't call his name.
Ma Qiang looked at the man and asked curiously, "Who is this gentleman?"
Wen Pin hurriedly stepped out and said, "Return to the General, this is Liu Ye, the leader of our army! He will come to see the General with the last general!"
"Liu Ye?"
This name is very familiar to Ma Qiang!
"But Liu Ziyang in Huainan?"
“That’s right!”
Ah! I almost missed a big talent!
Ma Qiang immediately laughed.
Liu Ye is a talented person. He is not only proficient in military strategies, but also has the talent of assisting the world. He also likes to study the techniques of mechanical Mohism. More importantly, this man was obviously a descendant of Guangwu, but he did not oppose Cao Wei usurping the Han Dynasty, and even devoted himself to serving the Cao family for three generations.
Ma Qiang likes this Liu family the most!
"Okay, if Ziyang said, I will have a reward!"
Regardless of whether Liu Ye’s words are right or not, Ma Qiang is ready to reuse this person.
Liu Yu is getting older, and it is time to prepare a successor for Liu Yu.
After a while, Zhang Su brought Zhang Song in with him.
When Ma Qiang saw Zhang Su, he thought that this man looked mediocre, but when he saw Zhang Song, he suddenly felt that Zhang Su was really handsome!
When Sima Yi saw Zhang Song, he immediately felt that this man looked like Pang Tong, just like a half-brother!
Zhang Su first introduced his purpose and said that he came to contribute to the tribute according to Liu Zhang's order. He originally thought that Ma Qiang was in Hebei, so he arrived in Wancheng first. Later, he learned that Ma Qiang had gone south to Xiangyang, so he rushed over.
"If all the princes in the world could have the same heart as Liu Yizhou, there would not be so many things.
I will send someone to prepare some gifts and you can help me pass them to Liu Yizhou."
After saying that, Ma Qiang looked at Zhang Song and asked, "Is this person standing beside you Zhang Ziqiao?"
Zhang Su was not ready to bring Zhang Song in at the beginning. He also thought Zhang Song was too abstract and worried that others would underestimate Yizhou.
But Zhang Song was pestering to follow Zhang Su into the room, so Zhang Su had no choice but to bring him in to see Ma Qiang. Now, seeing Ma Qiang guessing Zhang Song's identity, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Of course, Zhang Su would not think that his younger brother's reputation could have reached Ma Qiang's ears. He could only guess that this was because Ma Qiang had been collecting information from Yizhou, and even the characteristics of the people around him were clearly investigated.
Thinking of this, Ma Ziyu has longed for Yizhou for a long time.
Danger!
Zhang Song was extremely excited.
He didn't expect that Ma Qiang could recognize him, and his tone was not a joke.
"I am not a good candidate for Shu County to visit the General of the General!"
It's indeed Zhang Song!
Ma Qiang really wanted to know if Zhang Song brought a map to him this time.
No matter what, let’s show your favorability first.
Ma Qiang smiled and said, "I have heard that there is a Zhang Ziqiao in Shu. Although he is not good-looking, he is talented and has the ability to remember everything he has seen. He can be called a genius in the world!"
Most of the people here have never heard of Zhang Song's name. Now that Ma Qiang said this, they all looked at this ugly man with a red face.
Zhang Song's red face was not born with it, he was excited.
He didn't expect that he, who was just a county official in Shu, was known as a genius in Ma Qiang.
I knew that I, Zhang Ziqiao, would definitely meet my wise master!
Look at others and look at you again! Liu Jiyu, if you don’t lose Yizhou, it’s not up to heaven!
If Ma Qiang can see loyalty, he will definitely find that Zhang Song's loyalty has dropped to 0. He can use a skill to reduce his ability to impulse him.
Although Zhang Su felt a little strange about Ma Qiang's respect for Zhang Song so much, he was a younger brother after all, so he was still happy for Zhang Song, thinking that Zhang Song would definitely be valued by Liu Zhang because of Ma Qiang's reputation this time.
The two Zhang Su brothers came far away to pay tribute, and Ma Qiang was not stingy and set up a banquet to entertain him.
When we were entertaining, someone went to Zhang Song to provoke him unconvincedly.
The person who looked for Zhang Song was Yin Mo.
Yin Mo's courtesy name was Siqian, and he was also from Yizhou. He came from Fu County, Zitong County. When he was studying, he believed that most scholars in Yizhou attached importance to the modern classics and did not pay attention to the analysis of chapters and sentences, and his knowledge was not extensive enough. So he traveled to Jingzhou to become teachers of Sima Hui and Song Zhong, and studied ancient classics.
Therefore, Yin Mo felt that Ma Qiang praised Zhang Song for his every look. The world's strange talents were too famous. If there were such a talent in Yizhou, what would he be?
Yin Mo found Zhang Song and provoked and asked, "I haven't been in Shu for a long time. I don't want to have a genius like Mr. Shu. I wonder what books have you read? What books are you managing?"
Zhang Song was not afraid, but was a little happy that someone was using him as a ladder.
"I only read four volumes of books next, but I have never read them."
"Four volumes? Hahahaha!"
Yin Mo immediately started to laugh with everyone around him.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be good to read four books, but as a famous scholar, the four books were really unprofitable.
Chapter completed!
