Chapter 1323 Anbu's help
Hearing Zhang Song say this, Fa Zheng's face changed and he slowly showed murderous aura.
Meng Da said in surprise: "Zi Qiao, what do you mean is that we were plotted against by Liu Zhang? No way."
"Zidu, you still underestimate Liu Zhang too much. Liu Zhang has always been placing the wine and color. But I naively thought that Liu Zhang's alcohol tolerance was not good. However, did you find out last night? Liu Zhang drank the same amount of wine as us, but his face did not change. Another thing, don't you wonder? We usually have small gatherings and drink a lot of wine. The wines from last night were not drunk at all, as normal as possible." Zhang Song said with a bitter face.
Meng Da was not stupid, and he immediately understood what Zhang Song meant and said, "You mean that Liu Zhang was taking medicine in our wine. He took the medicine in advance, so we were plotted."
Zhang Song nodded in pain, and now he realized it was a little too late.
"Damn Liu Zhang!" Meng Da was really angry.
For a long time, Meng Da had been plotting against others. Unexpectedly, this time he fell into the hands of an inconspicuous Liu Zhang, and his reputation for life was ruined.
Fa Zheng never spoke, but he wrote Liu Zhang on his blacklist.
Zhang Song looked at Fa Zheng and said, "Xiaozhi, you must not hold a grudge against Liu Zhang, nor do you think about taking revenge on him. Liu Zhang is now a member of the court. We cannot plot against him like before. Your Majesty is kind and will never let us plot against Liu Zhang. So, you should let go of this heart."
Fa Zheng was touched by Zhang Song, and his face instantly became a little ugly.
With Fazheng's stingy personality, it would be easy to let Liu Zhang go. But the facts tell Fazheng that even if he hopes Liu Zhang dies, Liu Yu will make Liu Zhang live a hundred years and live a very comfortable life.
Fa Zheng said hatefully: "Can I still be bullied when I get to the court?"
Fa Zheng surrendered from Yizhou to the court because he was beaten by others and bullied in Yizhou and was not valued. Now that he has to face Liu Zhang's plan, he still has to take revenge.
"Xiaozhi, Liu Zhang's plan is nothing. In the future, there will be more disputes in the court. The most important thing now is how to calm Your Majesty's anger." Zhang Song's words returned to the point.
Both Fa Zheng and Meng Da knew that what Zhang Song said was true. The Shenwu court now looks like a solid piece of iron, but it has been divided into several factions. Now that Liu Yu is alive, he is in full swing, and he can suppress the whole world. Once Liu Yu has a chance, or if the mountain collapses, several factions in the Shenwu court will definitely have disputes, and I don’t know how many plans there will be.
Fa Zheng calmed down his mood and then asked Zhang Song: "Zi Qiao, I can't waste my time. How can I get to His Majesty?"
Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da were no longer able to go to fifty miles away to prepare to welcome Liu Yu, but he could not wait for Liu Yu to come in Hanzhong City. If you do such a behavior, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da don’t have to be a Shenwu court, just leave the world. Even if Liu Yu pays attention to them, he will be dissatisfied with their behavior. Indeed, from the natural fear of a minister for a king, this would naturally be the case.
When Zhang Song thought of the long-term efforts that ended up wasted, he was very angry. But now is not the time to be angry or not, the key is how to solve the problem.
Meng Da was most anxious. He couldn't think of a solution now and did not dare to disturb Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, so as not to affect their thinking.
"Let's find six good horses right away, no matter how much money you spend. I'll wait for one person or two horses, and I can rush over as fast as possible." Zhang Song felt that he couldn't waste his time anymore, so he rushed over first. Perhaps when he was on the road, they could think of some solutions. Or they could arrive in time, so they didn't have to worry about anything.
They did it as soon as they were told, Fa Zheng, Meng Da and Zhang Song immediately walked towards the gate. Before walking out of the gate, Zhang Song asked the servants in Liu Zhang's mansion about the location of the horse market. Liu Zhang had all told him that when Zhang Song and the others got up, they would do whatever they wanted without restraining them. Hearing Zhang Song's inquiry, the servants were unaware of it. It was not that Liu Zhang's servants told lies or were perfunctory to Zhang Song, but that they really didn't know that there was a place for horses selling in Hanzhong.
Zhang Song was almost angry to death. He absolutely believed that the servants of the Liu Mansion were so because of Liu Zhang's orders.
The three of them were not familiar with the place in Hanzhong, and they could only find a place to sell horses by constantly asking for the place. However, what disappointed Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da was that there was no place to sell horses in Hanzhong City.
In this era, horses were a very precious resource. Liu Yu relied on himself to occupy the best horse-producing land and had the most powerful cavalry troops, which made the princes in the world unable to compete with Liu Yu on the plains and occupied most of the world step by step.
Knowing his strengths, Liu Yu changed his mind to make the princes in the world unable to obtain horse resources. Especially at the level of war horses, they were even more unavailable in the horse market.
In Liu Yu's vision, places like Hanzhong, where they junction with Yizhou cannot have a horse market. However, due to the various blockades of the Shenwu court, horse resources have become rare strategic materials for other princes, and the value of transactions has increased. If they cannot trade openly, some behind-the-scenes transactions or smuggling will occur.
Originally, some aristocratic families in Hanzhong made it so well. Such a good life didn't last long. After the spies of the "Ancient Tribe" found out the situation, they sent all the information to the Hanzhong prefect. Huang Xu brought his troops and horses to kill the aristocratic families who dared to violate the ban on the court. The family property was confiscated and the family took them to a slave in the bitter and cold land. Now, in the entire Hanzhong City, except for the horses in the government, there are only a few donkeys, mules, horses, and cattle as tools for transportation.
It is impossible for Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da to find a good horse.
Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da, who wanted to rush over in time, fell into despair after wasting a while but failed. How could they reach fifty miles away in the shortest time without a good war horse? It wouldn't be possible to run over with two feet. Not everyone is a terrifying existence like Dian Wei, who can compare with war horses with just his legs.
Just as Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da were disappointed, several people were staring at them in the dark.
These people are not gangsters from Hanzhong City, but spies from the "Sanmen" branch of Hanzhong City. After receiving news, some people in Hanzhong City were inquired about whether there were any places to sell horses. The rudder leader immediately asked the spies to follow and monitor. If there were any abnormal movements, they could move freely.
While the spies were constantly following and surveillance, they recognized the identities of Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da.
It’s not that the spies have such awesome skills, but that Cao Bi had already sent the portraits of Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da to the branch of Hanzhong City for great use.
The great use here is to prevent Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da from committing a false attempt to surrender to the court. If Cao Bi is betrayed, the entire Yizhou branch will be taken in one fell swoop. Then the branch in Hanzhong can use these portraits to retaliate against Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da.
It may be difficult for Meng Da and Fa Zheng to recognize, but Zhang Song's face is really easy to recognize. The spies can recognize this at first glance. The spies can conclude that in the Shenwu court, only Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan can compete with Zhang Song in terms of different appearances.
Zhang Song’s outstanding face is really unforgettable. The spies were puzzled by Zhang Song and the other two constantly inquiring about the place where horses were sold. These three adults were all court officials. Do they need horses now?
The spies' minds were very fast, and they were a lot of people. After a few discussions, they probably guessed that one was the reason. Now His Majesty is about to arrive in Hanzhong. The Hanzhong Prefect takes most of the civil and military officials from Hanzhong City out of the city to greet him fifty miles. At such a major time, Zhang Song and the other two were looking for horses in the city, and they must have wanted to ride a war horse to meet His Majesty.
Since they are all their own people, the spies naturally need to help. After all, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng have a close relationship with Cao Bi and Cao Haose, the leader of the "Secret Ministry". At the same time, when Zhang Song and his friends left Chengdu, Cao Bi also sent a message to the Hanzhong Branch, hoping that the Hanzhong Branch could monitor Zhang Song and the other party and take care of them appropriately. The relationship between Cao Bi and Zhang Song is still possible, and all that can be done is this.
Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da walked on the road in disappointment, but they didn't know that several people appeared in front of them blocking the way.
Meng Da was a military general. He first noticed someone in front of him. He subconsciously placed his hand on the short sword around his waist and shouted viciously at the spies blocking the way in front: "Who are you and why are you blocking the way?"
Fa Zheng and Zhang Song were revived by Meng Da's drink. When they looked up, they saw that several people whom they didn't know were blocking their way. They subconsciously thought that this was not a good person.
Seeing Meng Da so alert, the spies nodded slightly and thought to themselves: Mencius is worthy of being a military general and has a high alertness.
It’s a person, and I’ll be unhappy when I see so many people blocking my way across the road. Meng Da is naturally no exception.
"You can't retreat quickly!" Meng Da slowly pulled out the short sword.
A spy bowed and said, "Don't panic, three sirs! We did not come to make things difficult for the three of you, but found that the three sirs were looking for horses. We had an old age with a friend of the three sirs, so we went forward, hoping to help the three sirs."
"Friends? I'm waiting in Hanzhong but I have no friends!" Meng Da was very suspicious.
Fa Zheng and Zhang Song looked at each other. The temperaments of these people seemed to be very familiar.
The spy who spoke continued: "The three adults have a property that is famous throughout Yizhou. I wonder if I remember the best storekeeper Cao who plays the building?"
Meng Da, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and the others were shocked. Especially Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, they no wonder they felt that the temperaments of these people were very familiar. They turned out to be from Cao Bi.
"So you are Haose's friends." Zhang Song said with a little surprise.
Fa Zheng and the others knew that Cao Bi belonged to a very powerful organization in the court. If they had their help, it would not be a big problem to arrive at Liu Yu in time.
"This is not a place to talk. Please tell me here!" The spies reached out and pointed Zhang Song and the others into the streets.
Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da had no doubts and followed the spies' guidance and walked into the alley.
There were not many people passing by here. The leading spy took out his token, proved his identity, and then said: "I have received letters from Chief Cao before. If I meet three of you in Hanzhong, as long as the three of you need them, I will definitely help you."
Zhang Song and the other two finally understood that it was Cao Bi who planned ahead and had expected that they would be in trouble.
Cao Bi was completely blind and hit the dead mouse, and he said that before, just because he cared about the friendship between the two parties.
Otherwise, why would Cao Bi be said to be a very lucky person in the "Ancient Ministry".
Fa Zheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Several, we need to rush to the place where the prefect welcomes His Majesty now, but we are fifty miles apart. There are no good war horses, so we cannot go in time. We hope you can help."
"Sir, we cannot guarantee that you will arrive in time. But we have no shortage of high-quality war horses! We can borrow them to three adults." The spy led by the leader said immediately.
Fa Zheng and the other two were really grateful for having a good war horse, and said in unison: "Thank you!"
"Andou" has a lot of hands and eyes, and except for Liu Yu's secrets, almost everyone else can't escape their eyes. Fa Zheng and Zhang Song and Meng Da are so anxious, there must be an inside story.
This inside story is one of the work of "Sanmu" inquiring.
"No need to go! Three sirs, please come with me!" Several spies quickly took Zhang Song and Fa Zheng and Meng Da towards the city gate.
There, the "Dark Part" rudder placed several war horses there. Even Zhang Song and the other three were more than squeezing. Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da's riding skills were just average and could not control three war horses. They could only choose two war horses for each person and rotated with each other.
The city gate guards in Hanzhong are now on alert, but with the help of the "Secret Ministry", Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and Meng Da walked out of the city gate very smoothly and rushed fifty miles away.
After Zhang Song and the other two returned, the spies immediately reported the relevant situation to the branch rudder.
The rudder of the Hanzhong branch immediately ordered: "Check it out immediately! Be sure to investigate it clearly before Your Majesty arrives."
"Let's obey the order!" The spies ran out quickly.
