Cheng Yu nodded. Even if Dong Fu left very carefully, the local nobles still knew his intention to go south. This also proved that they did have a certain degree of strength. This part of the strength was still very high among the middle and lower classes of Yizhou's ruling class.
Capable.
"To be honest, I think it is impossible to have a truce with the Southern Barbarians. After all, we have been in a passive state towards the Southern Barbarians and cannot find where the enemy's main force is.
The Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo is also a stupid goose who only knows brute force. If I want to make him stop plundering the north, I can't think of any way to do it."
Zhang Song thought for a while, and a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his heart, but he immediately suppressed it, shook his head, and pretended not to know.
"I think Mr. Zi Qiao has already thought of it. Yes, as you think, Liu Yan transferred my lord to lead his troops north, which means completely abandoning the four southern counties.
The fundamental reason why Dong Fu went south to negotiate with the Southern Barbarians this time was to cede the four southern counties to the Southern Barbarians in exchange for them stopping their harassment of the northern counties and even sending troops to help Liu Yan fight against Yuan Shu."
Cheng Yu glanced at Zhang Song. With Zhang Song's intelligence, how could he not think of a way to make the Southern Barbarians cease fighting? It's just that he didn't dare to think in any direction, so he neatly told what Dong Fu did.
Let’s see how Zhang Song, a native of Shu, will react.
"He dares."
Hearing Cheng Yu's affirmative answer, Zhang Song immediately exploded. Yizhou is not his Yizhou, Liu Yan's, but the Yizhou of the entire Yizhou people. If Liu Yan betrayed Yizhou to the Nanman people in order to resist Yuan Shu, this would
He absolutely won't allow it.
"There is nothing daring. He has already done it. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for him to move my lord's 50,000-strong army to the north regardless of it. I believe that it won't take long for the Southern Barbarians' troops to leave the four counties and stationed in the north of Yizhou.
Already."
Facing the furious Zhang Song, Cheng Yu shook his head slightly. This was a situation he had expected. He was different from the Yizhou people. He also said that Yizhou was the root of the Shu people and they could allow themselves to be suppressed.
, you can allow yourself not to occupy a high position, but you must not allow Liu Yan to betray Yizhou's fundamental interests in exchange for the Nanman people.
"Then Zhongde, what do you mean by coming here? But General Liu Bei wants to replace Liu Yan to gain the support of our Yizhou nobles."
Now that everything has been said, Zhang Song has nothing more to say, so he goes directly to the topic and asks about Cheng Yu's purpose.
"Yes, my lord does have this intention. Liu Yan went against the grain, suppressed the local nobles and sold the land of the Han people. This is something my lord will never allow, so we decided to send troops to replace him. I wonder if Ziqiao will join us.
Together, we can save Yizhou from the fire and water."
Zhang Song had already pointed it out, and Cheng Yu also simply stated what he was going to do.
"Zhang Song is naturally willing to work with General Liu to save Yizhou from fire and water."
Zhang Song directly clasped his fist at Cheng Yu. It had already become clear by now that the two sides were seeking the dominance of Yizhou and the other was seeking development. The alliance was only a matter of course.
"Okay, in that case, my lord will come over to meet my husband tonight, and we will discuss the specific details then."
Glancing at Zhang Song, Cheng Yu nodded directly to him. Zhang Song represents the attitude of the local nobles in Yizhou. He can agree and believe that several other big families will not object. With their full support, he wants to
It is no longer difficult to capture Liu Yan.
"Okay, Zhang Song should contact several other noble families and wait for Duke Xuande to arrive."
"Okay, then Cheng Yu will leave."
Cheng Yu quietly left Zhang Song's residence and returned directly to Liu Bei's residence. As long as Zhang Song was captured, the others would not need him to lobby. They were already one, and it would be much easier for Zhang Song to talk to him than to talk to him.
"Zhongde, how's it going?"
Seeing Cheng Yu's return, Liu Bei rushed to greet him.
"My lord, fortunately you have fulfilled your destiny. Zhang Song has agreed to join us in the crusade against Liu Yan. I have already discussed it with him and my lord will go see him in person tonight."
Cheng Yu's eyes flashed and he directly told Liu Bei about Zhang Song's situation.
"Is Zhang Song the only one?"
After hearing what Cheng Yu said, Liu Bei was a little confused.
"My lord, under the suppression of Liu Yan, the local gentry in Yizhou have become one and the same. Although I only convinced Zhang Song, I believe that Zhang Song will naturally handle the others. You should be able to see them when you go there in the evening.
All the wealthy families in Chengdu."
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and expressed his thoughts.
"Okay, in that case, let's talk about it tonight."
After Cheng Yu left, Zhang Song did as he thought and directly sent people to call all the heads of several big families in Chengdu.
When everyone heard that Liu Yan was going to sell out the interests of Yizhou in exchange for the support of the Nanman people, everyone was furious. Everyone was excited and wanted to fight Liu Yan desperately.
But Zhang Song then said that Liu Bei had decided to replace Liu Yan, and he had agreed to join forces with him to defeat Liu Yan and save Yizhou from fire and water. The rest of the group also agreed to join Liu Bei in the crusade against Liu Yan.
.
In the evening, after putting on makeup, Liu Bei quietly left the mansion with Cheng Yu and arrived outside Zhang Song's mansion.
"who?"
Seeing the appearance of Cheng Yu and Liu Bei, the servant at the door immediately became nervous.
"If you want to report it to Master Zhang Song, please tell me that Cheng Yu is here to visit."
Cheng Yu directly lifted the hat on his head and revealed his identity to the servant.
"Mr. Cheng Yu, please come in quickly."
When he heard that the other party was Cheng Yu, the servant immediately opened the door. Zhang Song had already told Cheng Yu that he should not hesitate when he arrived and just invite him in.
"Thank you."
Cheng Yu glanced at the servant and took Liu Bei directly into Zhang Song's mansion.
"Sir, Mr. Cheng Yu is here."
Hearing that Cheng Yu was coming, Zhang Song went out directly and saw Cheng Yu and Liu Bei coming in.
"I don't know if I'm a little disappointed when you arrive, but I hope you can forgive me."
After looking at Cheng Yu and then at the man wearing a hat behind Cheng Yu, Zhang Song immediately knew that this man was today's main protagonist, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.
"OK."
Liu Bei and Cheng Yu followed Zhang Song directly into the house. They saw four or five people already in the house. These people were really the heads of several aristocratic families in Chengdu. They were able to stay here and wait for Liu Bei. It was obvious that they all agreed with Zhang Song.
In Song's opinion, he wanted to work together with Liu Bei on big things.
When Liu Bei entered the room, he did not hide it, but directly lifted the hat on his head, revealing his true appearance.
"Liu Bei and Liu Xuande have met all the family heads."
Liu Bei directly clasped his fists at everyone.
"I promise."
"I'm Huang Quan."
"This is Li Bing."
After hearing Liu Bei introduce himself, all the adults from aristocratic families stood up and clasped their fists in return.
"Xuan De Gong, there is no need to be polite. We, native Shu people, have decided to fully support you to bring order to the chaos and replace Liu Yan as the new master of Yizhou. Now I just want to know how you arranged it and when you will launch it. We need
Do something."
Seeing Liu Bei greeting everyone, Zhang Song, as a middleman, directly asked Liu Bei what he was going to do and what kind of support he needed from them.
"Let's leave these to Mr. Zhongde."
Looking at Zhang Song, Liu Bei didn't change his color at all. Over the years, he had long developed the ability to keep his expression calm and his heart not beating. Even if Zhang Song was indeed not beautiful, he would not show it.
