Chapter 454: Jingzhou Messenger

,,,,,,,,,,,,

When Zhang Yi left the south gate of Chengdu, he did not walk on the remote path, but ran east along the official path. In the hinterland of Bashu, Zhang Song was powerful and had Zhang Song's token on him, so no one dared to make things difficult for him.

Only when he goes to remote places can Zhang Yi be vigilant, especially when he goes to Badong County, he even considers wearing makeup to a small businessman to live in the county, but at least he doesn't have to worry about anything now.

Zhang Yi ran southeastward. When dawn was approaching, he arrived at a small town, Songlin Town, which was named after a pine forest that stretched for more than ten miles behind the town. It was already under the jurisdiction of Hui County, Dongguanghan County, but the customs and customs in this area are no different from Chengdu.

Zhang Yi bought dry food in a small shop, filled it with a pot of clear water and continued to rush. The owner told him to arrive at Wucheng within the sky. Time was very tight and he had to rush day and night. He turned over and continued to run towards Bajun.

After passing through the town, you will enter the pine forest area. A wide official road crosses the entire pine forest. It was early morning and the pine forest was very quiet, and there were almost no pedestrians on the official road.

After walking about two miles, Zhang Yi saw a resting pavilion next to him, so he turned over and got off the horse and led the horse to the pavilion. He needed to let the horse rest and eat something by himself before he could continue rushing.

But just after walking a few steps, he suddenly felt a gust of wind above his head. Before he could react, a black shadow pounced down from the pine tree and overturned him from the horse. Zhang Yi was shocked and turned over and wanted to get up. Several men in black rushed up next to him and pressed him to the ground. A big man knocked him out with the hilt of his knife, tied his hands and feet, blocked his mouth with a rag, and put him into a cloth bag.

At this time, a man in black handed the oil paper bag from Zhang Yi to the man who pounced down from the tree. The man was Sima Yi's personal guard Yang Shun. He led more than a dozen subordinates to track Zhang Yi on the order of Sima Yi, and they rushed in front of Zhang Yi.

Seeing that Zhang Yi had not had a rest, Yang Shun guessed that he would definitely rest in the pavilion. As expected, Yang Shun took the oil paper bag and opened it. It was the owner who told him to seize. He nodded and "take him away."

Everyone threw Zhang Yi on his back, quickly left the pine forest from another little, and ran towards Chengdu.

As soon as night fell, Sima Yi received Zhang Song's handwritten letter and picture album, and was overjoyed. Especially this picture album made him even more overjoyed. Even Pang Xi and Dong He could not get such an important military secret. This was a god-given opportunity.

Sima Yi copied two copies of this album overnight, found Yang Shun, and handed him a letter, and reminded him: "The Wucheng City investigation is strict, and it is difficult to go alone. You can go with the Yun family caravan so that you can hide it. Remember to hand over this album and letter to the provincial governor in person, and tell the provincial governor that I am very safe in Shuzhong, so he doesn't have to worry."

"I remember it"

Yang Shun took the picture album and letter and hid it in close proximity. At this time, dozens of people from the Yun family caravan and many mules and horses were ready to set off with valuables such as Shu brocade. Yang Shun disguised himself as a friend and followed the caravan to leave Chengdu, heading southward.

After Yang Shun was arranged to deliver the letter, Sima Yi immediately went to Dong He's residence

Dong He was Dong Yun's father. He was originally a Chengdu ruling. Liu Zhang was disliked because his son Dong Yun served in Jingzhou. However, Dong He was the leader of the Dongzhou scholar and was highly respected by the people. Liu Zhang could not find an excuse to demote him for a while, so he appointed him as the governor of Shu County.

The most important city in Shu County is Chengdu. Chengdu is under the jurisdiction of Chengdu Order. The jurisdiction includes several nearby counties, which basically overlap with the northern part of Shu County, making the actual jurisdiction of Shu County only a small piece of land in the south. Although it has a high status, its power is very small.

Early in the morning, Dong He walked hurriedly towards the state government. Although he didn't want to do some things, he knew in his heart that for the sake of the overall situation, he had to burn his boats. Moreover, the Dongzhou system had been persecuted by the local Bashu system for a long time, and today he was just angry.

Dong He quickly came to Liu Zhang's official room and reported to the guards. After a moment, the guards led him in. They saw Liu Zhang sitting at the table to review the books. Dong He stepped forward to salute, "I met the governor of the state."

"Is there anything wrong with Dong Shou?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile.

Dong He took out the oil paper bag and handed it to the guards to present it. He bowed and said, "When the governor of Qi Bingzhou, Cao, the thief of Shu County, discovered a suspicious person when he captured the thief. He captured this person. It was of great importance to come to him. The minister dared not hide it."

"What is it"

Liu Zhang was a little surprised. He opened the oil paper bag and took out the picture album and Zhang Song's letter to Liu Bei from it. He flipped through the picture album and was shocked. How could such an important military secret be circulated?

He read the letter again, and was furious and slapped the table hard, "What a Zhang Song, how dare you betray me and collude with Liu Bei to betray Bashu. It's a crime to die."

Dong He said again: "The sender has told me all, the governor of the state can see him."

"Where is this person?"

"Just outside, held in a carriage."

Liu Zhang said with a dark face: "Take him to the torture room to see me."

Soon, several yamen runners escorted Zhang Yi into the torture room and tied him to an iron pillar. At this time, Liu Zhang slowly walked over and saw that Zhang Yi was bruised and beaten very much. He turned around and asked his confidant guards beside him: "Do you know this person?"

The guard nodded, "It seems like Zhang Biejia's horse servant."

Liu Zhang snorted coldly and asked, "Where are you going by Zhang Song?"

Zhang Yi was beaten to death and had already explained it all. At this time, he dared not hide it before Liu Zhang. He was so angry that he said: "My master ordered me to go to Wucheng and ask me to send some things."

Liu Zhang wrapped oil paper in front of him and shook it, "Is this the case?"

"It's this, there's a letter and a book."

Liu Zhang's eyes burst into murderous intent and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Song, I treat you well, how dare you betray me?"

He turned around and ordered: "Acatch Zhang Song's family, no one left."

Half an hour later, thousands of soldiers surrounded Zhang Song's mansion and captured Zhang Song and his family and his family. Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Song and his family to behead him in the city. At the same time, he appointed Yan Yan, the governor of Ba County, as a side general, and led an army of 15,000 troops to guard Badong County to strictly prevent Liu Bei from entering Badong from Wucheng.

At this moment, Liu Ba reported that Liu Jing's envoy had arrived in Chengdu and asked to meet with the governor of Yizhou Prefecture

Liu Jing's envoy was naturally Sima Yi. When he learned that Liu Zhang had ordered the killing of Zhang Song and Zhang Song's head fell to the ground, Sima Yi knew that the time for him to appear was up.

At that time, Sima Yi was ordered by Liu Jing to send Bashu. They knew nothing about the situation inside Bashu, so Liu Jing only gave him one order to destroy the alliance between Liu Zhang and Liu Bei.

After arriving in Bashu, Sima Yi gradually learned the inside story of Bashu's officialdom. After several months of hard work, he finally convinced the Dongzhou scholars to turn to support Liu Jing, which was Sima Yi's greatest contribution.

At the same time, exposing the collusion between Zhang Song and Liu Bei, and showing Liu Bei's ambition to plan Xichuan to the world, successfully arousing Liu Zhang's hatred of Liu Bei and suspicion of the local factions of Bashu. This was Sima Yi's second contribution.

By obtaining these two contributions, Sima Yi can be said to have successfully completed the important task assigned to him by Liu Jing, but Sima Yi knew that Liu Jing actually gave him the right to dispose of Bashu and let him implement the Bashu strategy according to his wishes.

Therefore, Sima Yi cherished this opportunity to seize power very much. He wanted Liu Jing to complete the plan to seize Bashu according to his own ideas.

This is also a great opportunity to lay down his position in Jingzhou. Jia Xu's achievements were to assist Liu Jing in winning the Battle of Chibi and reunifying Jingzhou. His achievements were to seize Bashu. In Sima Yi's plan, persuading Liu Zhang and Liu Jing to cooperate with Liu Jing to wipe out Liu Bei, which can be said to be the highlight.

Sima Yi waited for a moment in the square outside the main hall of the state yamen, and a guard led him into the main hall. Sima Yi knew that the main hall was usually the place where the New Year ceremony was presided over or the imperial envoys were received. Liu Zhang actually met him in the main hall, which shows that Liu Zhang attached great importance to Jingzhou.

It is no wonder that last year, Liu Zhang was afraid of Cao Cao's expedition to the west and sent Fa Zheng to Nanyang to see Cao Cao. He was timid. Now Jingzhou defeated Cao's army and Jiangdong and has become the strongest in the south. In this case, it is reasonable for Liu Zhang to be afraid of Jingzhou.

Sima Yiang walked into the main hall with his chest out. Liu Zhang came out and bowed deeply and said, "I heard that Sima military advisor has arrived in Chengdu. Liu Zhang was not well received and neglected Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr

Sima Yi smiled, "The scenery in Shu is the best in the world. I have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery in Shu. I feel so happy. The governor of the state does not have to blame himself. Sima Yi has no intention of blaming the state."

Seeing that he was very good at speaking, Liu Zhang was happy and quickly introduced all the ministers of Bashu, Wu Yi, Zhang Ren, Dong He, Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Li Hui, Liu Ba, Fa Zheng and other generals, as well as his two sons, Liu Xun and Liu Wei.

Sima Yi smiled and greeted everyone one by one. Everyone exchanged a few greetings, and then surrounded Liu Zhang and Sima Yi into the hall.

The ministers sat in the two sides, but Sima Yi and Liu Zhang sat in the chair seat. At this time, a team of maids came in to offer wine. Everyone drank two glasses of wine. Liu Zhang smiled and said, "I heard that my brother defeated Cao's army in Chibi. I didn't sleep all night and couldn't be happy. I just wish I could meet my brother immediately and tell my brother's feelings."

In fact, Liu Zhang and Liu Jing have a very close relationship. They are both descendants of King Gong of Han, and both are of the name Yu generation, so Liu Zhang followed the flow and called Liu Jing his younger brother.

However, in fact, the relationship between Liu Zhang and Liu Biao was very bad. Jianping County and Yidu County were originally from Yizhou, but they were occupied by Liu Biao during the Zhao Wei Rebellion in Yizhou and refused to return it to this day.

But at this time, Liu Biao had passed away and Liu Jing rose up. Liu Zhang didn't want to mention the past. Sima Yi knew it well. He smiled and said, "My lord often said that his greatest wish is to gather with his brothers in Yizhou to share the relationship between the Han Dynasty, but unfortunately he has never had a chance."

At this time, someone next to him suddenly said coldly: "There are rumors that Liu Jingzhou is not Liu Biao's nephew. May I ask Mr. Sima, is this rumor true or false?"
