Chapter 301 Three Kingdoms: The Debate between Yang Xiu and Zhang Song
Chapter 301 Three Kingdoms: The Debate between Yang Xiu and Zhang Song
[The envoy from Yizhou came to pay a visit to Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked with a smile: "Have you ever heard of this man?"
Everyone present looked around, but no one knew who Zhang Song and Zhang Yongnian were. They answered, "I have never heard of them."
Cao Cao did not want to see him, so he ordered the inn to entertain him. Fortunately, Yang Xiu made a suggestion, saying that he could win over the people of Xichuan, so Cao Cao allowed him to see him.
When Zhang Song saw Cao Cao, he was drinking alone and ignored Zhang Song. Seeing this, Zhang Song also sat down on the other side and started to eat and drink.
Cao Cao had no choice but to put down his wine cup and ask, "Why has your lord Liu Zhang not come to pay tribute for years?"
"The road is difficult, bandits are rampant, and we cannot pass through."
Cao Cao sneered and asked: "I have already cleared the Central Plains, so why are there bandits causing trouble?"
"There is Sun Quan in Jiangnan, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and Liu Bei in Jingzhou. How can we call it peace if you attack me and I attack you?"
Faced with Zhang Song's question, Cao Cao turned away.
Yang Xiu, who was behind him, stopped when he heard Zhang Song laughing.
Zhang Song said disdainfully: "Humph, there are tens of thousands of people in Xichuan, and there is no flatterer!"
"There are no flatterers in Xichuan, but is there one in the Central Plains?"
Yang Xiu bowed and said, "I am ignorant and know very little about the customs and practices of Shu. I wonder if you could teach me a thing or two?"
Zhang Song first boasted about the scenery of Shuzhong, the fields...
Yang Xiu asked again: "What about the people in Shu?"
Zhang Song replied: "In literature, he has the talent of Sima Changqing, in martial arts, he has the talent of Ma Fubo; in medicine, he has the ability of Zhang Zhongjing, in divination, he has the mysteries of Yan Junping..."
Yang Xiu sneered and continued to approach: "Humph, may I ask how many people like you are left among Liu Yizhou's subordinates in Shu?"
"A man of all talents, both civil and military, wise and courageous, loyal and generous... even a man of humble talent like Song is innumerable..."
"May I ask what official position you hold now?" Yang Xiu smiled contemptuously.
Zhang Song replied, "You are not qualified to be the deputy governor. What position do you hold in the court?"
"Oh, now I am the chief clerk of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Zhang Song smiled and said, "Oh? Hey... I heard that your family is a noble family. Why don't you go to the court to assist the emperor, but instead condescend to be a chief clerk in the prime minister's office?"
Yang Xiu felt ashamed when asked this question, and walked towards the window with his hands behind his back, looking uncomfortable.
"Although I live in a lower house, the Prime Minister has entrusted me with important military and political affairs and financial affairs. I have received instruction from him day and night and have benefited greatly from him. I am willing to serve in the Prime Minister's residence."
"Prime Minister Cao does not understand the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, nor the wisdom of Sun and Wu. He has risen to power by force and tyranny. How can he teach you anything?"
Zhang Song's face was full of disdain and he found what Yang Xiu said ridiculous.
Yang Xiu replied: "You originally lived in a remote corner, how could you know the great talent of the Prime Minister?"
<Zhang Song’s courtesy name is Ziqiao, not Yongnian. The novel got it wrong...blame Luo Guanzhong!>
<And Luo Guanzhong also got this incident wrong. Cao Cao went south to conquer Jingzhou, and Yizhou governor Liu Zhang sent his deputy Zhang Song on a diplomatic mission in the 13th year of Jian'an, not the 16th year. In short... it's all Luo Guanzhong's fault! >
<I feel like Cao Cao is getting cocky at this stage. Alas, Meng De is getting old too, and is starting to judge people by their appearance [sigh]>
<Zhang Song also felt that Cao Cao did not look like a ruler, and both of them disliked each other>
<Cao Cao: Humph! I don’t want to talk to you!>
<When I saw Zhang Song didn’t smile, I knew he got the password right, but he entered it too late, hahaha>
<The next two to begin are Yang Xiu vs. Zhang Song [eat melon]>
<Hey, this paragraph by Zhang Song is simply a travel guide for Sichuan [covering face]. Obviously, it should also add that Sichuan has cute giant pandas [love heart]>
<Zhang Song is really good at bragging, but he is right about one thing: Liu Zhang has many capable people under him, but he doesn't know how to use them.>
<Hahaha, Yang Xiu, you have come to this day too. The Hongnong Yang family is a top family with three officials in four generations. Now you have to work as a chief clerk to please Cao Cao. Yang Xiu must have been hit in the sore spot. Zhang Song's mouth cannon skills are amazing>
<This is fanning the flames, right? I agree that Cao Mengde has no morals, but to say that he has no talent? Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? >
[Emperor Zhaolie of Han Liu Bei: Well, Cao Mengde’s talent is beyond doubt]
[Sun Ce, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Humph, although I don't want to admit it, Cao Mengde can indeed be called a hero]
[Liu Zhang in the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: ... Zhang Ziqiao is really good at speaking...]
[Xu Xiake in the third year of Ming Chongzhen: Recording Sichuan Travel Guide]
[Yuan Shao, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Alas! Meng De, you haven't cleared the area around you yet, and you haven't usurped the throne yet, why are you so proud?]

Yizhou Chengdu
Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Song on the screen, who had silenced Cao Cao and Yang Xiu, and felt inexplicably happy!
"Zhang Ziqiao is a talented person! I must make use of him!"
Liu Zhang saw Guangmu's comment that he didn't know how to employ people. Although he felt annoyed, he still thought about accepting it humbly.
It's probably not too late now...
Xudu
When Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao's sarcastic remarks on the screen, his face immediately turned red.
"Ugh!"
How did he know that people tend to become different when they get older? You know, Pang Tong didn't judge people by their appearance...
"Birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all." Cao Cao paused for a moment and said to the counselors and generals present: "I hope you can advise me more. I also have to warn myself not to be too arrogant and complacent."
“If it is full, it will overflow, which is unacceptable.”

The Second Year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty
"Prime Minister, where is the giant panda?" Liu Chan put down the book in his hand and pulled Zhuge Liang's sleeve.
Zhuge Liang had never heard of this huge animal that was both a bear and a cat, so he could only shake his head.
Liu Chan was a little discouraged. Guangmu said that giant pandas are cute and he really wants to raise one...
Jiang Wei, who was sitting behind Liu Chan, scratched his head and said, "Since it is in Yizhou, we will find it eventually!"
"Okay! Let's go on our day off!" Liu Chan put aside his unhappiness and enthusiastically planned to look for giant pandas.
