On the first day of May of the ninth year of Jian'an.

Yang Fan met with the Yizhou envoy Zhang Song in the mansion of General Cavalry.

When Yang Fan first saw Zhang Song's appearance, he almost got amused. Zhang Song was short and thin, with a rather weird appearance. In addition, he had two beards and beards, which looked quite funny. Fortunately, Yang Fan had a deep skill and did not laugh out loud on the spot.

It is no wonder that Yuan was mistaken for being a spy or something like this.

Zhang Song took the lead in worshiping Yang Fan and said, "Don't be a good person in Yizhou - Zhang Song, pay homage to General Cavalry!"

Yang Fan laughed and said, "Ziqiao, you have come to Bingzhou thousands of miles away. You have worked hard all the way. Can you rest this day?"

Zhang Song replied: "Thank you, General Cavalry for your concern, Song, have a good rest!"

"Since that's the case!" Yang Fan laughed and said, "Then I'll ask my son Qiao Daoming for the purpose of coming here this time."

In fact, before this, Xi Zhong, Xun Yu and others also analyzed the purpose of Zhang Song's trip for Yang Fan, but they were not very sure. After all, the Yang family army is powerful. If they enter Shu, after the Zhang Lu is wiped out, they will form a situation where it is too big to lose. At that time, it will develop into a situation where it is easy to invite the gods and difficult to send the gods. Zhang Song and others are great talents in Yizhou, so they will naturally see the disadvantages of asking the Yang family army to send troops to Bashu. However, they did this, and there may be some other elements in it, which made Yang Fan particularly concerned about this meeting. He also rushed into Yang Biao's mansion for Zhang Song and scolded Yuan.

Zhang Song replied: "Hanzhong Prefect Zhang Lu and Liangzhou rebel against Ma Chao, causing trouble in Yizhou and doing evil to the people. Our Lord sent troops to conquer several times, but Ma Chao was very brave and repelled our army several times. Everyone knows that the Yang family army is the most powerful army in the Han Dynasty. You are also the General of the Cavalry of the current dynasty. Therefore, our Lord sent us to come down and ask the General of the Cavalry to send troops to Shu to Pingding the Civil War for our Yizhou to give a bright future to the people of Yizhou!"

"Oh?" Yang Fan touched Han's short beard, looked at Xun Yu quietly, and replied, "What happened? This general had issued a wanted order to arrest Ma Chao, but unexpectedly, he actually ran to Hanzhong!"

After seeing Yang Fan finish speaking, Xun Yu quickly spoke out: "But this Yizhou is under Liu Zhang's rule. If our army enters rashly, will it be inappropriate?"

Xi Zhong nodded and smiled, "Wen Ruo said correctly. Our army loves peace and does not want others to think that our army will only oppress the weak! However, Zhang Lu bravely launched a rebellion and caused trouble to the village, and our army had to save us! But I heard that the Shu Road was extremely steep and the road was winding, so our army might be lost! It is simple to send troops, but if you get lost, it will be a bit ridiculous!"

Zhang Song's eyes flashed, obviously he heard a different meaning from Xi Zhong's words. He laughed and said, "If the Yang family army sends troops to Sichuan, then we will naturally send a guide. Please rest assured by Lord Xi!"

Xi Zhong shook his head and said, "I understand what Ziqiao means, but this marching and war is the secret of military strategists, so how can outsiders know it? We are not unbelievable to people from Liu Yizhou. However, there are many people and different personalities. Who can guarantee that the people sent by Liu Yizhou will not be bribed by Zhang Lu? If those so-called guides will lead our army into dangerous places, then will our soldiers be ruined for nothing?"

"Master Xi! Your words are biased. My Lord sincerely invites your army to enter Shu to help quell the rebellion. Why did it become ulterior motives when it comes to Master Xi's mouth? Since your army does not believe us, then let's just pretend that you have never come to Jinyang!" Zhang Song stood up and acted as if he was about to leave.

Xi Zhong was not anxious either, but turned to look at Xun Yu and signaled him to take action.

After seeing this, Xun Yu shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly, and said, "Zi Qiao, as the saying goes, whether it is rough or not, you have to say ugly words in front of everything. Zhicai's words seem to be suspicious, but it also shows to Zi Qiao that our army is willing to send troops to Sichuan."

Yang Fan laughed and said, "Yes, I have been marching and fighting for many years and never entrust my destiny to others. If I have not even figured out the terrain, then after entering, wouldn't I be blind and be led by someone else's nose? If Zi Qiao can't even understand this, it means that our two families are destined to be separated. It's better not to leave this army!"

Zhang Song also wanted to take advantage of Yang Fan's power to take the lead. His actions just now were just to compete for the initiative. Now that he heard Yang Fan's affirmative reply, Zhang Song hurriedly smiled and said, "Yang Piqi is worthy of being Yang Piqi. I admire him. If Yang Piqi intends to send troops to Sichuan, then I will present the topographic map of Bashu, so why not give it to the general!"

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and said to himself that the show was coming, but he asked with a smile: "Bashu topographic map? What is it?"

Zhang Song replied proudly: "I have traveled to Yizhou for several years and painted the terrain and lands of Yizhou with my own hands. The mountains and rivers are dangerous. If Yang Piqiu can get this thing, leading his army into Shu will be as simple as taking a bag."

Yang Fan's eyes were shining brightly. He could treat Zhang Song like this for the purpose of Zhang Song's terrain map of Bashu in his hand. However, he still needed to play hard to get. Yang Fan said: "The difficulty of Shu Road is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Yizhou can dominate the side with its steep terrain. If the Bashu terrain map of Bashu in my hand, then Zi Qiao, wouldn't you give up the entire Yizhou? If you do this, will you accept it or not? It's very troubled for me!"

Xi Zhong nodded and smiled, "What the lord said is right. Ziqiao, if you present a terrain map of Bashu, this is undoubtedly a defiance of the Lord. We cannot put you in a dilemma!"

After hearing this, Zhang Song was moved and then turned to look at Yang Fan, as if he wanted to hear Yang Fan say this with his own ears.

After seeing this, Yang Fan would not know what Zhang Song was thinking. He smiled and said, "That is, now the world is in chaos, and all the heroes are rising up. Yizhou is known as the country of Tianfu, so I will naturally be coveted. However, Liu Yanxiong dominated Yizhou for many years, and now Liu Zhang is in charge of Yizhou. Ziqiao, you are a different person in Yizhou at a young age. From this, we can see that Ziqiao, you are deeply valued by Liu Zhang. How can you accept this terrain map of Bashu and make Ziqiao become the disobedient? This move will definitely not be done!"

Zhang Song was moved and hurriedly bowed to Yang Fan: "Yang Piaoqi is so wise and knows that after learning the terrain of Bashu, he can lead his army to march straight into Yizhou, but he gave up for his reputation. Song admired him. However, Liu Zhang was foolish and suspicious by nature. He was far away from wise ministers and was not a wise minister. Song, who came to Jinyang this time, was actually two things. One was to ask the Yang family army to enter Shu to quell the rebellion, and the other was to ask Yang Piaoqi to take Shu under his rule."

"Oh?" Yang Fan glanced at Xun Yu quietly and asked, "Liu Zhang avenged his father and sent troops to attack Zhang Lu. From this, he can be seen that he is also a bloody man. It seems that he is not as unbearable as Zi Qiao, you said, right?"

As he was talking, Yang Fan's eyes sterned and shouted: "Is it because you, Zhang Song, want to change the house and touch the old master? Although I, Yang Fan, coveted the treasure land of Yizhou, will never cooperate with such a person! While the general is not angry, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise, I will not be able to help but kill you!"

Yang Fan's actions shocked Xun Yu and the other two. Xun Yu and Xi Zhong were puzzled. They didn't know what Yang Fan was thinking, but Zhang Song felt that Yang Fan was sitting upright and would not accept gifts from villains.

At this moment, Zhang Song felt that Yang Fan was the wise ruler he had always dreamed of. After thinking for a while, he decided to surrender to Yang Fan. Zhang Song first told him about how Liu Zhang treated Zhang Ren and asked, "Yang Piqi, do you think such a lord can gain allegiance from his subordinates? With Zhang Ren's previous lessons, Zhang Song really dared not be with Liu Zhang anymore. Such a foolish person would sooner or later destroy Yizhou. Yang Piqi is the overlord of Hebei. Who can compare with this world? Instead of letting Liu Zhang destroy Yizhou, why don't Yang Piqi take it by himself? Song, I have a sense of effectiveness in my heart, and I hope Yang Piqi will take it in!"

"Haha!" Yang Fan laughed when he heard this, then walked to Zhang Song, held his hand, and said with a smile: "How can Yang Fan be so good that he can get Zi Qiao's help? If Zi Qiao comes, how can Yang Fan refuse? I wonder if Zi Qiao has brought it with him?"

Zhang Song smiled and said, "Song is naturally not going to be placed on it!"

"Oh!" Yang Fan slapped his thigh and sighed: "What a pity, what a pity. I heard that Fa Xiaozhi was also on the envoy of Liu Bei. Liu Bei is closer to Yizhou. Zi Qiao, if you go back to get the map, it will take a long time to delay it, and Liu Bei will be the first to take the lead!"
