Chapter 638: The Messenger Eager to Show Off
"Zhang Song, a native of Yizhou, has met the prince. Song, on behalf of his lord, pays tribute to General Liu."
"As an envoy, Zhang Jun is here for the sake of peace between the two armies, so there is no need to be polite." Liu Qi smiled and asked Zhang Song to stand up straight.
Zhang Song straightened his back and looked at Liu Qi proudly.
Just by taking a brief look at Zhang Song's face, Liu Qi had an idea.
With this kind of honor, no wonder he is disliked and disliked by others.
He has a big nose with red rosacea, a pair of small bean eyes, if you don't look carefully, you can hardly see his eyes, his sparse hair reveals a huge forehead in front, and a pair of big lips that are thick and big for talking.
When you show your yellow teeth, you will be as shabby as you are.
I heard that Zhang Song is still very young, seemingly a few years older than Liu Qi... But at such a young age, he already looks like an old man.
Some people believe that he is Liu Qi's uncle.
If he really reaches the age of seventy, I don't know how ugly he will look like.
It didn't matter that he was ugly, but he still had a look of pride on his face. Looking around, he felt like he stood out from the crowd.
Look at those little eyes, everyone looks dissatisfied or angry.
What's so crazy about you with this appearance?
All the generals in the hall, you look at me and I look at you, and you all can't help but smile.
Why did Liu Zhang find such a monster to negotiate with our army?
There may be some mocking expressions on the faces of the Jingzhou generals, but Zhang Song didn't take it seriously, and he still looked proud.
Zhang Song's performance fell into Liu Qi's heart, and Liu Qi couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Liu Qi could roughly guess the psychological state of such a person based on some psychology books he read in later generations and some people and things he saw.
Underneath the appearance of extreme self-confidence, what is actually hidden is extreme low self-esteem.
Because of his appearance, he has been disliked by others since he was very young. It is not known how he and his brother Zhang Su grew up... According to Lou Fa, Zhang Su inherited all the advantages of his parents' appearance, while Zhang Song
Inherited all the physical flaws of his parents.
Zhang Su was valued highly by his father at home, but Zhang Song was just an extra in his father's eyes. Even if Zhang Song worked hard to read the scriptures, he was still not worth anything in his father's eyes. The one he valued most was Zhang Su.
As time went by, Zhang Song's psychology naturally became distorted. This was a root that was planted since he was a child and must be carried with him throughout his life.
In the officialdom, Zhang Su rose to prominence and was now Liu Zhang's right-hand man. In a few years, if Shuzhong was stable, it would not be impossible for Liu Zhang to appoint Zhang Su as a county governor with a salary of two thousand dan.
As for Zhang Song in Liu Zhang's eyes...he didn't even catch his eye.
In the eyes of his colleagues, Zhang Su from the Zhang family is also a handsome, talented and promising gentleman, while ugly men like Zhang Song with withdrawn personality... it is better not to provoke him as much as possible.
If he were the son of an ordinary family, it would be fine. However, Zhang Song came from a famous family in Shu County, and his every move was watched by everyone. In a huge contrast with his brother, Zhang Song, who has been shrouded in his brother's halo for many years, naturally
It's because he developed a surly temper.
He wrapped himself in an armor full of thorns in order to protect his sensitive self-esteem from being ridiculed by others.
Liu Qi stretched out his hand to invite Zhang Song to sit down and said: "Since the first year of Chuping, things have been going on between Liu and Liu Junlang and his son. Now Liu Junlang is dead and uncle Ji Yu is in charge of Yizhou. Liu Qi should not have disturbed him, but now Liu Junlang is dead."
A certain person was granted the title of General of Zhenxi, Shepherd of Yizhou, Governor of the Southern Territory, and the land of Jingyi among them. He had no choice but to send troops here to join his uncle in hunting in Shu... Alas, things have come to this, and Liu is very sorry.
."
Zhang Song said to Liu Qi: "My lord knows that your princes are loyal to serve the Han Dynasty and serve the public affairs wholeheartedly. My lord's heart has been towards the Han Dynasty for a long time. Today, Song is specially sent here to re-draw the territory and divide the territory with the general. Each of us will guard the border forever."
Good alliance."
Gan Ning, who was standing beside him, laughed and said, "Jun Zhang, what you said is wrong. My ruler is the shepherd of Yizhou, who was personally ordered by the emperor. The territory of Yizhou should belong to my ruler. Who is Liu Zhang?"
Isn't it ridiculous to claim the title of Lord of Yizhou without getting a title from the imperial court, and yet dare to divide territory with my princes?"
Zhang Song glanced at Gan Ning contemptuously and said: "In the past, your Excellency escaped from Shu. He was as anxious as a bereaved dog and panicked as a fish that slipped through the net. He ran around Chu. Now he suddenly returned to Shu and came here before he had accomplished any achievements.
Isn’t it ridiculous to talk wildly?”
Gan Ning's expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "A certain family is from Shu, and now they are the vanguard. To lead the princes into Shu, Mianzhu will be taken sooner or later! Why negotiate?"
But I heard Zhang Song asking Gan Ning like a barrage: "I was born in Shu County. I think I know all the landforms and people in Shu. How can I lead the way for Liu Junhou? Then I want to ask Brother Gan, how many checkpoints are there along the way from Jiangzhou to Mianzhu?"
, how many cottages are there in each pass? How much grain is stored in each village? Most of the warehouses in Shu County are located in the mountains and forests, which are extremely hidden. I dare to ask Brother Gan, how many warehouses are there? How many grains are there? How many soldiers are there?
Daily cost? Where is the location? How many soldiers are there in each checkpoint? How many important towns are there between Shu County and Guanghan? How to defeat them? How many Qingqiang are under my lord's command? How many Qingqiang tribes are there to add troops to my lord's command?
Who is the soldier?"
When Gan Ning heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Zhang Song smiled contemptuously: "You don't know these, and you still make false claims about Shu? It's simply ridiculous."
Liu Qi laughed when he heard this and said, "I don't think Zhang Jun's tongue is so sharp. It's really surprising."
Zhang Song said: "I dare not."
Liu Qi looked at Zhang Song with great interest, then turned to Lou Fa beside him and said, "Lou Jun once told me that he had a good relationship with Zhang Jun in the past in Shu."
Lou Fa stood up and said: "Exactly."
"Before Zhang Jun came to Jiangzhou, Lou Jun once said to me that Zhang Jun is good at speaking and thinking, and he can also write good calligraphy and articles?"
Lou said: "Exactly, Yongnian is not only good at calligraphy, but also has a photographic memory!"
"I don't believe it." Liu Qi turned to look at Zhang Song and said, "Does Mr. Zhang really have such a good ability?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Song did not answer, obviously acquiescing.
"Come here, take my "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People", Liu Qi ordered.
After a while, someone brought a tray of slips to the table.
Liu Qi stood up and said to Zhang Song: "This is "Qi Min Yao Shu" compiled by Mr. Liu and I, who are good at managing people and farmers in Jingzhou. If you have a photographic memory as Lou Gong said, you might as well take a look at it.
Once, write silently again. If you can really write, I, Liu Qi, will admire you sir! I am willing to treat him with the courtesy of an elder brother and never break my promise."
Logically speaking, as an envoy, Zhang Song should not show off his ability in front of the people of Jingzhou at this moment.
But Liu Qi was certain that Zhang Song would definitely use Po Xia Donkey to show off his skills in front of these people on his side.
Zhang Song is different from normal people. He suppresses himself so much that he feels uncomfortable. Once he seizes an opening or an opportunity, he will definitely take the opportunity to vent.
Sure enough, Zhang Song only hesitated for a moment and then stopped refusing.
He first picked up a scroll of slips, read it carefully, then closed it, and in front of everyone, he picked up a pen and started writing silently on an empty slip on the table beside him.
After finishing dictating, he went to read the second volume of slips. After reading it, he put it aside and started dictating seriously again.
Liu Qi took the first volume of slips written by Zhang Songmo and compared it with his own first volume...
It cannot be said that one word is not different, it is exactly the same, but the general meaning is not wrong.
Just reading it once and then dictating it to this level is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
When he was young, Liu Qi read the second volume written by Zhang Songmo, and it still had the same general meaning as the first volume.
Moreover, his eight-point handwriting is also extremely beautiful and very skillful!
It was not until Zhang Songmo wrote ten volumes that Liu Qi finally stood up, walked to Zhang Song, and said loudly in front of all his subordinates: "Zhang Jun's genius is really rare in this world. I didn't expect Liu Jiyu to be so popular! Liu Qi said from his heart
