Chapter 62
Zhang Song waited for several days before he was summoned by Cao Cao.I was very dissatisfied when I was asked for a bribe by the servant of Prince Wei's mansion!
Cao Cao sat in the lobby, and after Zhang Song bowed his hands and saluted, Cao Cao asked:
"Why hasn't your lord paid tribute in recent years?"

It's not that Cao Cao made things difficult, it's that what Liu Zhang did was not authentic. Although the little emperor is just a puppet and Xuchang's real master is Cao Cao, at least everyone still respects the little emperor on the surface!

The Ma family in Xiliang, the Sun family in Jiangdong, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and even Shi Xie from Jiaozhou all paid tribute, some more, some less, but everyone maintained the minimum etiquette!
But this Yizhou, you are still the clan of the Han Dynasty, and you haven't paid a single grain of rice in these years. Why, you don't recognize the emperor of the Han Dynasty?
Zhang Song looked at Cao Cao, who was a little bit depressed, and was very disappointed in his heart. The last glimmer of hope was annihilated!

King Wei?Oh, but that's all!
"Because my journey from Xichuan to Xuchang is difficult and dangerous, and there are many thieves along the way, the tribute team can't get through!"

Cao Cao frowned, and said, "I've pacified the Central Plains, where are there so many thieves?"

Zhang Song smiled lightly, and said: "In the north of Xichuan, Zhang Lu is in chaos, and in the east of Xichuan, Liu Biao and Sun Quan are entrenched. The weakest Zhang Lu has at least [-] armor, how can there be peace?"

Cao Cao had been bored recently, and seeing Zhang Lu's ugly appearance and conflicting words, he simply walked away and went to the back hall.

Yuan Fang scolded: "As an envoy, why are you so impolite that you talk back? Fortunately, the King of Wei saw that you came from a long way, so you will not be punished. You can go!"

Zhang Song smiled slightly, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I, Xichuan, have no servile people!"

As soon as the words fell, one person shouted: "You Xichuan has no servile people, do I have any in the Central Plains?"

Zhang Song looked at the person who spoke, he was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, and said, "Who are you?"

"Treasurer Master, Yang Xiu!" Yang Xiu cupped his hands slightly.

Zhang Song nodded in understanding, this person is the son of Taiwei Yang Biao, his name is Dezu, he is knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and he is eloquent!

Yang Xiu stretched out his hand to invite Zhang Song to sit down among the guests and hosts in the pavilion in the courtyard, saying: "The road to Shu is difficult and dangerous, so the envoy has worked hard!"

Zhang Songdao: "I came here under the command of my lord, even if it is a mountain of swords and seas of fire, I will not refuse!"

Yang Xiu took the jug from the eunuch's hand, drank two glasses of wine, and said, "How is the customs of Xichuan?"

Zhang Song raised his head, and said with emotion: "Shu is the west county, and its ancient name is Yizhou. The road is dangerous on the Jinjiang River, and the ground is connected to the hero of Jiange. It is two hundred and eighty miles back and forth, and it is more than [-] miles in length and width."

"The crowing of the cock and the barking of the dog are heard, and there are constant crowds in the market."

"The fields are fertile and the land is luxuriant, and there is no worry about floods and droughts; the country is rich and the people are prosperous, and there is sometimes orchestral music. The products produced are as rich as mountains. Nothing in the world can match it!"

Yang Xiu laughed secretly, this piece of pine really knows how to blow it!

But there is really nothing to do with him. Since Liu Yan entered Yizhou, Zhang Lu was guarded in Hanzhong, cutting off internal and external news; coupled with the continuous war in the Central Plains, in fact, everyone really doesn't know much about Yizhou, so there is no way to refute it!
Yang Xiu asked again: "How about the talents in Sichuan?"

Zhang Song said without changing his face: "Wen has the talent of Xiangru, martial arts has the talent of Fubo; medicine has the ability of Zhongjing, and divination has the hiddenness of Junping."

"Three teachings and nine streams, those who are out of their class and out of their best are indescribable, how can they be counted?"

Yang Xiu had a smile on his face, and continued: "How many of Liu Jiyu's subordinates are like men?"

Zhang Songdao: "All-round talents in civil and military affairs, full of wisdom and courage, loyalty and generosity, there are hundreds of them. Those who are as loose as they are talented, have a lot of fighting capacity, which is indescribable!"

Yang Xiudao: "I don't know what position you are in now?"

Zhang Songdao: "Excessive use of Yu Yu to make up for the number, don't take the post, you are very incompetent!"

"It's just that, I heard that the Yang family has had hairpin tassels for generations, why didn't they go to the court and assist the emperor, instead of staying in Wei Wang's mansion as a mere chief bookkeeper!"

Yang Xiu restrained his smile a little, and said seriously: "Thanks to King Wei's trust, he gave me military and government money and food, and I can also stay with King Wei to receive teachings. Although I am going to conquer the position of Jiuqing everywhere, I am not willing to change it!"

Zhang Song sneered and said: "I heard that Wei Wangwen didn't understand the way of Confucius and Mencius, that his martial arts could not reach the opportunity of Sun Wu, and that he specialized in the way of tyranny and occupies a high position. How can he teach you like this?"

Yang Xiu retorted and said: "You are in a marginal place, I don't blame you for not knowing the ability of King Wei, I will show you something good!" So he called his attendant, took out a book from a wooden box, and handed it Gave it to Zhang Song.

Zhang Song took it over and took a look, and wrote the four big characters "Meng De Xin Shu", so he unfolded the scroll and read it carefully from beginning to end. There are 13 chapters in the book, all of which are about the use of soldiers. The looser frown is getting tighter!
After reading it, Zhang Song asked, "What do you think of this book?"

Yang Xiu smiled proudly, and said: "This is my family's King Wei who judged the past and the present, and imitated "Sun Tzu"! You say that King Wei has no talent, and this book may be passed down to future generations?"

Zhang Song laughed loudly and said: "My five-year-old child in Sichuan can also recite this book in secret. What new book are you talking about? It was written by an unknown person in the Warring States period. The king of Wei stole it for his own use and deceived everyone!" , next-present, future generations)
Yang Xiu was annoyed, and said, "Although the book of the King of Wei is finished, it has not been published yet. You say that children in Sichuan can recite it? Who are you lying to?"

Zhang Songdao: "If you don't believe me, I'll recite it for you!"

So Zhang Song recited "Meng De's New Book" from beginning to end word for word. Yang Xiu was shocked and praised:

"Sir, you have a photographic memory, you are truly a genius in the world!"

After reciting the book, Zhang Song was about to say goodbye, Yang Xiuwan stayed behind and said, "Sir, stay in the building for now, and I will introduce you after I meet King Wei!"

Zhang Song thanked him, and then left Wei Palace.

Yang Xiu entered the back hall, cupped his hands and said, "Why did the king of Wei belittle the Yizhou envoy?"

Cao Cao glanced at Yang Xiu, he couldn't say 'ugly rejection', could he?So Cao Cao said:

"His words are rude and annoying!"

Yang Xiu said again: "Wei Wang can accommodate even Ni Heng, why can't he accommodate Zhang Song?"

Cao Cao said: "You Heng's articles are gorgeous and widely circulated, so I can't bear to hurt him. What is Zhang Song's talent that I cherish?" Of course, there is another reason because You Heng is not bad!

The matter of looking at faces has existed throughout the ages, but it's just that the materialistic desires of later generations have become more obvious!

A good-looking person with a poisonous mouth is called outspoken admonition;

The ugly and most poisonous person can only be said to have narrowed the road!
Yang Xiudao: "I talked to him just now. He is very eloquent. He brags without writing drafts. Even if I see through it, he will continue to brag without changing his face! His determination can be described as tenacious!"

"And I read King Wei's book of war once, and he can recite it. It is rare in the world to be so knowledgeable and knowledgeable!"

"You can arrange for him to meet the emperor and teach him to look at the weather!"

Cao Cao said: "In the future, I will review the army at the West Campus. You can bring him here, let him see the strength of our army, and teach him to go back to the legend; when I take Jiangnan, I will come to collect Xichuan!"

In the words, it is obvious that Zhang Song still has some grudges!Yang Xiu had no choice but to take orders and retreat.
