On the Nanzheng city wall, Meng Da had a dark face and stared at the mountain road ahead with his eyes blank.

"General..." A man who looked like a servant came over, which made Meng Da turn his head and look, but the moment he saw this man, his stinky face, which was like his dead parents, instantly filled with a smile.

"It turns out that it is Manager Zhang. At this time, why do you come up to the city tower in person? Could it be that Zhang Changshi has given him any instructions?"

The manager had an old face like pine bark, without any expression, and said like a mechanical one: "My master said that it is really hard to defend the city alone in the long night. I prepared a small wine, so I asked the general to enjoy the scenery."

Meng Da's eyes suddenly flashed.

"Meng Da's vulgar man actually had Changshi Zhang's concern. He really admired him. He went there and asked the supervisor to lead the way."

Under the leadership of Manager Zhang, the general Meng Da came to the door of a mansion very respectfully, untied his sword, and then walked in.

In a brightly lit hall, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar was sitting, which was Zhang Song.

Zhang Song did not get up, but sat upright at the main seat and reached out to make an invitation gesture.

"General Meng Da guarded the city late at night, and Song Yijie's scholar was useless. He prepared a little wine and asked to relieve the general's fatigue. Please sit down."

Meng Da was a little flattered, took off his boots, walked into the hall, came to his seat, and then sat down after holding his fists.

"The Chief Secretary Zhenglong, on the way to Hanzhong, this time, his Majesty issued an edict to refer to Mr. Liu Zhang as the crown prince and appointed Mr. Prince as the chief secretary of the crown prince's palace. Mr. Chang is the head of the official in the palace, which shows how much your Majesty and His Highness attach to Mr. Qian. In the future, the new emperor ascended the throne, and he will definitely be the prime minister of the first dynasty and ranked third. Even so, you can still abandon the warmth and softness of Chengdu and personally come to the army, which is really admirable to the generals."

When Zhang Song heard this, he was not sad or happy. Instead, he waved his hand and signaled that Manager Zhang to leave.

Meng Da was a little surprised: "Changshi is..."

Zhang Song glanced at him and went straight to the point: "General Songguan is quite powerful and has a strong military strategy. Now he is in the position of a general. I wonder if the general is still content?"

When Meng Da heard this, he immediately sweated coldly. He took a step forward and fell to the ground with a "thump" and pounded his head like garlic.

"The last general was originally a Fufeng person, but because of Dong Zhuo's disaster, and later Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Liu He fought against each other. In order to avoid the war, the whole family moved to Shu. If it weren't for the support of Your Majesty, the last general's family would have starved to death to the wilderness. How could they be today? The last general was kind to Your Majesty, and he would never forget his kindness and would never have any inappropriate thoughts."

Zhang Song looked down at him, expressionless, slowly picked up a bottle of wine, took a sip, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face, which was like a dead tree bark.

"Oh, why should the general be like this? Please get up quickly."

He said this, but his eyes were full of disdain.

Meng Da looked up at him, and Zhang Song immediately smiled, which made Meng Da feel relieved and stood up.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked tentatively: "Why did the Chief Secretary suddenly ask about this? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is suspicious of the general?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Song looked surprised: "How could the general think of this? No, Song just saw that the general's martial arts and wisdom were extraordinary, and he felt that he was jealous of talent for the country, so he sighed without any other intentions."

"No...no other intention?" Meng Da seemed to be a little unbelievable.

Zhang Song straightened his expression and said firmly: "There is no other intention."

"Huh..." Meng De completely relieved and then sat down again.

"The Chief Secretary is worthy of being a pillar of the country. If he can speak a few good words to the last general in front of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, the last general will not dare to forget the Chief Secretary's great kindness."

Zhang Song lowered his head to drink, glanced at Meng Da with a smile on his lips.

"Haha, the general has a heavy word. As today's disputes are now, the heroes are competing for the desolation. Song has recently received new news. Liu He defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian's coalition forces outside Hulao Pass and Hangu Pass respectively. Among them, Sun Jian died in battle, leaving only Sun Ce to lead the remaining troops to escape. Cao's army suffered heavy losses. 50,000 troops in Jingzhou were defected, and Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Li Dian and other generals all died in battle. At that time, nearly 200,000 troops were attacked by Hulao Pass, but now there are less than 50,000."

"Hiss..." Meng Da was surprised and inexplicably: "Why is Liu He so capable? A few days ago, he also said that Cao Cao had the upper hand, so why did the battle situation change so drastically?"

Zhang Song smiled and said, "Who is Cao Aman? How can he compare with such a hero as Liu He after the eunuch? Liu He had already made a secret plan with Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who were the prefect of Shangdang over the past ten years. Liu Bei pretended to be hypocritical in recent years, as if he was deviating from the court, which led Cao Cao to take the initiative to form an alliance. In the battle of Hulao Pass, Liu Bei suddenly turned against the enemy. How could Cao Cao be unbeaten?"

Meng Da stared at him like a copper bell: "What happened? Liu He is so far-reaching, it's really... it's really terrible..."

Zhang Song glanced at him and asked, "General, how strong is our army compared to Luoyang?"

Meng Da hesitated a little: "This... has its own merits, it's hard to say..."

Zhang Song shook his head: "Zi Jing is not in the right way. I have already left my arms. There are only you and me here. Could it be that Zi Jing can't trust me?"

"No, no, the general has always admired the Chief Secretary, how dare he deceive him?"

"Since that's the case, why don't the general tell the truth?"

Zhang Song stared at Meng Da with his eyes tightly. Meng Da felt guilty, avoided his gaze and deliberately lowered his head to drink.

"This... Since the Chief Secretary asked, I dare not violate it. In the opinion of the General, even if I devote all the whole country to my land in Sichuan, it is extremely difficult to compete with Liu He, even if I am just a Liangzhou Legion."

"In the battle tonight, although our army set up an ambush and temporarily repelled Zhang Liao, the enemy's weapon, the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry, suffered a very small loss and its vitality was not damaged. Even if General Zhang Ren went there, he could steal several cities, but it would be difficult to shake the foundation of the enemy in Liangzhou. Now the battle in Hulao Pass has been settled. When Guan Yu and Cui Jun lead the main force of the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry to return, our army will not say that we will capture the entire territory of Liangzhou, but we are afraid of this Hanzhong..."

Speaking of this, Meng Da suddenly stopped and glanced at Zhang Song's reaction. After all, just these few words of his, if someone really wanted to pursue them, it would be considered a crime of disrupting the morale of the army and holding ill-behavior.

Zhang Song suddenly laughed to the sky: "Hahaha... well said, well said... hahahaha... General Meng Da is very knowledgeable, and he values ​​you so much."

Meng Da was a little confused by his words.

"Changshi, you are..." He was a little nervous.

Zhang Song put down the wine bottle and said, "What the general said just now is the same as Song and Fa Xiaozhi's thoughts, which can be said to be a hero's opinion."

"Fa Zheng doesn't know how to drive?" Hearing this name, he felt a stern again.

Fazheng has been in Yizhou in recent years and has risen to the top. Five or six years ago, he was just a county magistrate of Pi County, but now he is a Yizhou man. Like Zhang Song, he is a celebrity in front of Prince Liu Zhang. He is deeply favored and is the existence he wants to look up to.

Zhang Song nodded: "Not bad. To be honest, Xiaozhi and I have long been secretly observing the general. The general has a lot of prestige in the army. Your Majesty and the Prince have also praised the general."

"Oh? It's true?" Meng Da seemed to see hope.

"Oh... it's a pity..." Zhang Song suddenly sighed, causing Meng Da's heart that had just risen up to suddenly "shocked".

"What a pity?"

Zhang Song looked at him with a regretful look: "It's a pity that the general is not from Yizhou. Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Ling Bao and others, as well as the Wu and Huang clans, all of them are exclusionary to foreign generals like the general, and they repeatedly slander their words in front of Your Majesty in Yizhou. In Yizhou, you still need to rely on their reputation, so even if I and Xiaozhi always make suggestions for the general, it will never work."

Hearing this, Meng Da showed anger on his face and punched the table.

"Zhang Ren's husband, I have long seen him make things difficult for me everywhere. This person is narrow-minded and will kill him sooner or later!"

"Oh? Kill Zhang Ren?" Zhang Song looked him up and down.

"Haha, it's not that I look down on the general. With the general's status, I want to kill Zhang Ren, but I'm afraid..."

Meng Da's expression suddenly faded, but he was still a little angry.

"Oh... it's hateful, it's really hateful... Could it be that I, Meng Da, really has no day to stand out in my life?"

Zhang Song said at this time: "That may not be possible. There is a rare and good opportunity in front of you. If you can succeed, just Zhang Ren, don't say you want to kill him. Even if you want to kill all his clan, it's just a general's words."

Meng Da's eyes shone, he stepped out again and fell to his knees in front of Zhang Song.

"If the Chief Secretary has good plans, he will help me show my ambitions and avenge my previous shame, Meng Da will never forget it!"

"Hahaha..." Zhang Song stood up, walked over, and helped him up in person, which made Meng Da even more flattered.

"This opportunity in front of you is easy to say, but it is difficult to say. The key point depends on whether the general is brave."

Meng Da made a decisive move: "But if the last general can turn over, everything will be driven by the Chief Secretary!"

"Okay!" Zhang Song grabbed his hands: "General, please speak quickly, Song will tell you bluntly. This opportunity is..."

He pointed outside the hall: "I offer it to Hanzhong and give it to the Emperor of Luoyang!"
