The person had a pointy head that rested on a broad shoulder. He looked extremely ridiculous. His face was not big, but he had a high nose. His upper lip was a little chipped, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. A person with such looks was really strange in the entire Yizhou.
This person looked quite creative, but one couldn't judge a book by its cover. Liu Xun didn't dare to underestimate this person.
This person was called Zhang Song, also known as Yongnian. Although his appearance was not amazing, he was indeed somewhat talented. This Zhang Song had a unique skill that few people in the world could match, and that was his photographic memory. As long as Zhang Song had read any book once, he would be able to recite it back and forth, as if the book was written by him. In his previous life, Liu Xun was familiar with the Three Kingdoms. He remembered that Zhang Song visited Xudu and lobbied Cao Cao. At that time, Zhang Song brought a map of Xichuan and wanted to offer Xichuan to Cao Cao.
Who knew that Cao Cao, who was called an evil hero, disliked Zhang Song's ugly appearance and did not like him. In his disappointment, Zhang Song gave the map to Liu Bei, but it ended up benefiting that big-eared thief.
"Judging a book by its cover is a mistake. "The ancients have long taught us clearly. Liu Xun, ah, Liu Xun, don't make mistakes like Cao Cao," Liu Xun secretly warned himself.
With Cao Cao's example, Liu Xun was extremely enthusiastic towards Zhang Song. He held Zhang Song's hand for a long time, looking like he was thirsty for talent.
"Aiya, Brother Yongnian, how have you been? Liu Xun had long wanted to get to know Brother Yongnian, but although he was the eldest son, his status was awkward. Brother Yongnian came to visit me late at night today. He must have something important to teach me.”，Liu Xun knew that Zhang Song was a person who was proud of his talent. However, his talent was not appreciated. He was ugly and was extremely sensitive to other people's attitudes.
Although Zhang Song was currently under Zhao Wei, before he understood the other party's intentions, Liu Xun appeared to be very polite and his words were full of intentions to rope him in.
" Zhao Wei sent me here to find out the truth. This Liu Xun knows that I'm Zhao Wei's man, but he's so warm to me. It's really surprising," Zhang Song thought to himself." Although I'm Zhao Wei's man, Liu Zhang is too useless. He had no choice but to join Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei seems to think highly of me on the surface, but many times he doesn't listen to me. It seems that Zhao Wei won't be able to achieve anything. Let's see Liu Xun's performance later.”
Unknowingly, Zhang Song's stance had loosened a little. Liu Xun's passionate attack actually made him feel slightly moved, as if he had met a wise ruler.
" Brother Yongnian, you've been in Yizhou for more than ten years, right?" Liu Xun started to chat with Zhang Song.
"That's right, when I first became the Don't Drive, I was filled with ambition and wholeheartedly hoped to assist Liu Yizhou in achieving great things. "Now that his career has not been successful and Feng Tang is old, Zhang Song is ashamed." Zhang Song secretly used Feng Tang's allusion to euphemistically express his dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang for not promoting him.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Feng Tang fought against the Xiongnu, but because he had reported an extra head, he was convicted and changed his post. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sought talents and someone recommended Feng Tang. However, Feng Tang was already in his teens and could not contribute to the country.
From Zhang Song's tone, Liu Xun could tell that he was unappreciated. He was well aware of Liu Zhang's weakness. "Feng Tang is easy to be old, but Li Guang is hard to be conferred." "Brother Yongnian has the talent to help the country, but he has condescended to serve as the other driver for more than ten years. He has lofty aspirations but is unable to express them. My father and I have sinned and have let Brother Yongnian down." He bowed to Zhang Song to express his apology.
Zhang Song hurriedly returned the greeting. Seeing that Liu Xun was sincere, his eyes turned red as he said,"I, Zhang Song, am not worthy of being compared to a famous general like Feng Tang and Li Guang.”
"Brother Yongnian, you're wrong. " Although modesty is a virtue, excessive modesty is equivalent to pride," Liu Xun said seriously." Think about Feng Tang and Li Guang. Although they are talented, they are just generals who charge into the front lines. It was petty of Feng Tang to claim credit for decapitation. Li Guang killed prisoners, ancient famous generals did not do, regarded as unlucky. Although Brother Yongnian doesn't know martial arts and can't charge into the enemy's line of battle, he's able to make strategies and win a battle thousands of miles away. How can a martial artist like Feng Tang and Li Guang compare to him?”
Zhang Song's heart heated up. He almost wanted to pledge loyalty, but he still had doubts." It can't be. This kid doesn't know that I'm Zhao Wei's man and deliberately said these words to calm me down, right?" No, I have to test him. Don't be fooled by him.”
Thinking of this, Zhang Song perked up and pretended to be humble."Zhang Song is just a small person. What kind of talent does he have to deserve such praise from Young Master?”
Liu Xun secretly observed Zhang Song's expression and found that this guy was slowly taking the bait, so he further tempted,""Brother Yongnian, why are you so humble? Let's not talk about anything else, just your photographic memory alone, how many people in the world can compare to you?”
Zhang Song's photographic memory was his forte. Although he didn't like to show off, he was still very happy that someone had taken the initiative to mention this matter.
"Liu Xun is really a thoughtful person. Liu Zhang is weak, but he actually gave birth to this son. Dog father Hu Zi, interesting. In the past, he only thought that this kid was a hedonistic son of a rich family. Ever since Zhao Wei proposed to abolish the heir, this kid's performance was really extraordinary. First, he predicted that Zhang Lu's army would invade Yizhou, and then he used Qi-Jin to defeat Liu Chan, who was in True Jin. The most shocking thing was that he actually pretended to be possessed by Zhang Tianshi in front of the three armies and subdued Zhang Lu's 20,000-strong army without bloodshed. He was an unremarkable character in the past, but now that he had grown up, even Zhao Wei, who had always been shrewd and astute, was terrified. Zhang Song, ah, Zhang Song, don't bet on the wrong treasure and fall into a state of eternal damnation.”Zhang Song warned himself.
It was no wonder. Only a few of Zhang Song's good friends knew about Zhang Song's photographic memory. These few good friends were people who did not like Zhang Yang. Liu Xun was actually able to find out such a secret. It could be seen that he had been paying attention to him for more than a day. Perhaps it was as he said, he really thought that he was a great talent in governing the country and was prepared to put him in an important position in the future.
"To think that I've been Zhao Wei's servant for so many years, giving him advice. Zhao Wei has never mentioned this ability of mine. It seemed that Zhao Wei only treated him as a dog. To think that he still treated him as a wise master.”Zhang Song's defensive line loosened further.
Liu Xun was like a strange uncle who was using candy to seduce a little loli. Seeing the change in Zhang Song's expression, he added fuel to the fire." Let's not talk about anything else. Your life and death friends, Fa Zheng and Meng Da, are both rare generals. He is also filial piety and upright, martial arts all-round talent, can kill the enemy on horseback, dismount can govern the country, is really the pillar of our Yizhou talent. To be able to befriend a talent like Fa Xiaozhi, Brother Yongnian is a wise man.”
When later scholars talked about Liu Bei's rule of Shu, they talked more about Fa Zheng. Some even compared him to Zhuge Liang. Liu Xun had heard a lot of stories from those experts in his previous life and was familiar with them. (Cut candle press: Fa Zheng, the word filial piety straight.）
Zhang Song and Fa Zheng were sworn friends. This matter was kept a secret because both Liu Zhang and Zhao Wei were wary of the deep friendship between their subordinates. They were afraid that they would form a faction to oppose them.
"He even knew about my relationship with Fa Zheng and Meng Da. Is this Liu Zhang's eldest young master a human or a ghost? No wonder he was able to persuade Zhang Lu's 20,000 soldiers to surrender with his glib tongue. It seemed that the ridiculous things that this fellow had done in the past few years were just to hide from the eyes and ears of others. He had endured for more than 20 years. He had to be very scheming and shrewd to be able to do this.”Zhang Song asked himself if he could not do it, and Zhao Wei could not do it either.
Zhang Song's eyes turned even redder.
At this moment, Liu Xun threw out his trump card. He was like a strange uncle giving the best toy to the little loli and even promised to bring her to the amusement park to play." Brother Yongnian, my father Liu Zhang is weak by nature and is not a wise ruler. Liu Chan is a reckless man and is not worth discussing with him. Zhao Wei's heart is like a tiger or wolf, and he wants to hide his skin with him. It is inevitable that the birds will run out of bows and arrows, and the rabbits will die and the dogs will be cooked. Come and assist me. Don't hesitate anymore.”
Once this ultimate killer move was used, Zhang Song could not withstand it anymore.
He had been begging for a wise master for many years. Wasn't the person in front of him one of them? Zhang Song's last line of defense finally collapsed.
Zhang Song knelt on the ground with a thud and sobbed." My lord, Zhang Song is willing to abandon the darkness and join the light. He is willing to help my lord eliminate Zhao Wei to repay my lord's kindness."”
Liu Xun quickly reached out to help him up." Brother Yongnian, what are you doing? You've always been loyal and loyal. You were blinded by Zhao Wei and couldn't see through his wild ambitions. You're innocent." From now on, you are my subordinate, and you are not allowed to mention the past. In the future, when I, Liu Xun, expand my territory, you will be my founding hero. Liu Xun swore here that he would never betray him.”
"My lord, I will repay your kindness with ten thousand deaths. From now on, Zhang Song is willing to hold the whip and jump into the stirrups for his lord, and follow him to the death. Even if he had to die, he would not regret it.”
"My lord, Zhao Wei sent me here to investigate the situation and to feign surrender so that he can keep track of my lord's movements. I didn't expect that my lord would treat me with benevolence and righteousness. From now on, Zhang Song will follow my lord to the death and cut off all ties with Zhao Wei.”
"Brother Yongnian, I won't lie in front of the Immortal. When you came, I'm afraid you already had two plans in mind. You want me to act according to Zhao Wei's plan if I'm a dark person. "If I'm really a wise ruler, then lean towards me." Liu Xun's eyes were bright as if he could see through people's thoughts.
He dared to say this because of his understanding of Zhang Song. This person was unappreciated and wanted to find a wise ruler. Luo Guan said that he secretly drew a map of Xichuan and wanted to present it to Cao Cao. After being rejected, he gave the map to Liu Bei.
"My lord, you are wise. " I want a good bird to choose a tree to perch in. I don't want to work under a dim-witted person for my entire life. Please forgive my straightforwardness," Zhang Song thought. Since he couldn't hide this from Liu Xun, he might as well speak frankly. It was enough to show his honesty.
"A good bird chooses a tree to perch in. For you to say that, it shows that you are open and aboveboard. With Brother Yongnian, I, Liu Xun, am like a fish in water. I can have great ambitions in the future. Brother Yongnian, if I'm not wrong, you should have some strategy to teach me, right?”Liu Xun said," Based on my intuition, Zhang Song will definitely offer a plan to deal with Zhao Wei. That's what those old novels say."
" My lord is wise. It seems that I can't hide anything from my lord's eyes," Zhang Song said, convinced." This time, I want to offer my lord a plan to remove the firewood from under the cauldron. If the lord acted according to this plan, even if Zhao Wei had three heads and arms, he would not be able to escape the lord's inescapable net.”
"A scholar will die for his confidant. Although Zhao Wei used to put me in an important position, he didn't actually listen to me. "Lord, treat Song with sincerity. I will do my best to give you advice," Zhang Song said generously.
" Looks like Zhang Song can't be completely regarded as a seller's disciple. He also has his own persistence," Liu Xun sighed inwardly.
