Five days later, Zhang Song arrived at the border of Xiangyang, and Ma Chao personally went out of the city two hundred miles to greet him.
Along the way, there was a roar of gongs and drums, rituals and music, and the treatment was very grand.
Ma Chao was in front of hundreds of officials in Jingzhou, and he felt that he was the first person in his life to receive such hospitality.
Even if he had nine deaths, he would be satisfied.
The effect was indeed unexpectedly good.
When Ma Chao saw Zhang Song dismounting from his horse holding the talisman, he could clearly see the surprise and excitement in Zhang Song's eyes.
However, it must be mentioned that Zhang Song's appearance is really hard to compliment.
He is short and lean, but he is wearing a robe, which makes him look very funny.
His forehead is as narrow as a hoe, his nose is collapsed, his buck teeth are exposed, especially his two whiskers, which give people a sense of vulgarity.
However, fortunately, he was mentally prepared in advance, and Ma Chao also knew that Zhang Song was knowledgeable and extremely talented.
Not only did he not show any disdain, but he greeted Zhang Song as soon as he dismounted.
Then, before Zhang Song could salute, he held Zhang Song's hand and said, "Yongnian, I heard that you were great when Chao was in Chang'an."
The names of talents are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and we have never had the chance to meet each other.
Today you visited Xiangyang and finally understood my Yun Miao thoughts.
I am so lucky."
As King Ma Chaoyong, these words can be regarded as flattery, and it is possible for ordinary people to bow to him.
However, when Zhang Song saw Ma Chao's enthusiasm, the excitement he felt when he dismounted was wiped away.
His eyes were wary and he said with some embarrassment: "King Yong is not here to entertain me.
I know how much I am weighing." " Although Zhang Song is short in stature, he has a very high voice.
If an ordinary person said this with a humble smile, it could also be considered a joke and self-effacing remark.
But Zhang Song's eyes widened, his neck stiffened, and his voice sounded like a quarrel.
It was really difficult for people to associate what he just said with a joke.
Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and all the civil servants in Jingzhou around Ma Chao all had dissatisfied expressions on their faces.
Only Ma Chao was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "What are you talking about?
Yongnian's father, Fa Xiaozhi, recommended it to me several times."
Yongnian, Runan Xu Shao It is also true that you are one of the most talented people in the world, with a photographic memory and a talent for memorizing everything.
It is a pity that Yongnian has already joined Liu Yizhou's command.
Although I have admired you for a long time, I can only hide it in my heart.
Today I am looking forward to Yongnian's visit in person, and I must have a good time talking about it.
"Ichiban" I don’t know whether Ma Chao’s words were too true or his expression was too lifelike.
Zhang Song's face gradually softened when he saw Ma Chao's sincerity in his fists, seemingly believing that Ma Chao truly admired him.
Then he bowed his hands and said harmoniously: "King Yong is a great hero, even those in Shu admire him endlessly.
Seeing King Yong being so courteous and virtuous today, he really shows the demeanor of a wise king."
"Yongnian, please."
Ma Chao accepted Zhang Song's gift with a smile.
He knew that the necessary bottom line must be determined.
Zhang Song is too shrewd and too arrogant.
Once he appears too humble, he will definitely see that he has something in mind.
"King Yong, please."
Zhang Song extended his hand and saluted with a smile on his face, as if he had completely let down his guard against Ma Chao.
"I'm going with you."
Ma Chao took Zhang Song's hand and led him to his chariot.
This six-horse chariot is the most luxurious chariot that the princes and kings can ride.
The exterior decoration is extremely luxurious, and the six strong horses are also good horses from Xiliang.
They are all white and without any variegation, and they are very handsome.

In the previous life, luxury cars like this were more popular than Maserati and Ferrari.
After all, in this era, there are no strict feudal etiquette regulations where you can sit wherever you want if you have money.
Only princes and princes can ride with six horses.
And this time, Ma Chao allowed Zhang Song to ride in this luxury car with him, which really gave Zhang Song a lot of face.
Zhang Song couldn't bear this barrage of sugar-coated bullets no matter what.
Along the way, he and Ma Chao chatted and laughed happily, talking about the local customs of Shu.
Occasionally, they talked about Ma's strategy for the six states to take off.
Only then did Ma Chao realize that Zhang Song was indeed aggrieved by Liu Zhang: This guy is really talented.
Ma Chao dare not say that he is a person who loves talents, but capable people are indeed respected wherever they go.
Zhang Song was unlucky in history because he met Cao Cao, who was more capable than him, and he also teased Cao Cao with his cleverness, which caused Cao Cao to look down upon Zhang Song.
However, Ma Chao did not have such scruples.
He never thought that he could compare with these guys who have left their names in history.
As a result, the banquet that was meant to be a show in the governor's mansion turned into a lively conversation between Ma Chao and Zhang Song.
Ma Chao set the tone for the banquet.
Although Zhang Song was arrogant, the Jingzhou nobles still flattered Zhang Song.
For a time, everyone in the hall was reciting poems, composing poems, and discussing strategies for governing the country.
The losers were willing to drink, and the winners also raised their glasses to accompany them.
The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
When the wine was full, Ma Chao was a little tipsy.
Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he was young and drinking with friends in his previous life.
Unknowingly, he leaned back slightly, crossed his legs and straightened his legs, listening comfortably to the people in the hall talking.
But he didn't know that what he was doing at this time was already a bit dissolute.
Zhang Song glanced at Ma Chao and saw that everyone in the hall was not surprised by this.
For a moment, instead of feeling that Ma Chao was arrogant, he was actually a free and loose person like him.
He couldn't help but smile lightly and raise his glass in toast.
Ma Chao didn't know why Zhang Song was respectful, but he felt that Zhang Song's smile was very friendly.
He immediately leaned forward, picked up the cup, held it flat with both hands, raised it slightly, and drank it down.
The wine tasted clear, spicy and mellow.
Ma Chao smacked his lips, still wanting more.
He tasted it and concluded that this was the finest Majia vintage wine, which was not easily obtained.
Just as he was waiting to take this opportunity to chat with Zhang Song again, he heard someone in the hall shout loudly: "Xu Jun, you have always been called a national scholar.
Now that the Han Dynasty is in ruins, the emperor can only stand up with the support of King Yong."
Earth.
All the gentlemen here hope that you will be able to worry about the country and forget about your home, and be able to save the world and benefit the people.
Ambition.
But you only asked for land and asked for houses, without any words that could be put on the stage.
This is exactly the behavior that the ambitious Chen Yuanlong despises.
How could he talk to you?
If it were me at that time, I would be lying on the ground.
Upstairs, I asked you to lie down on the ground, so why talk about getting in and out of bed?"
Ma Chao immediately turned his attention to that place and saw Liu Bei standing up suddenly, pointing his sword like a sword and yelling at someone.
The man became angry and speechless, and immediately looked at Ma Chao.
Ma Chao suddenly woke up from the wine, and he suddenly remembered this allusion in history.
Xu Si, a famous scholar under Liu Biao's account, said that Chen Deng of Xuzhou was arrogant.
He once passed by Xiapi and met Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong.

Chen Deng showed no hospitality to his guests.
He didn't even say anything to him.
He lay on the big bed while Xu Si slept on the lower bed.
In fact, Xu Si concealed something in his narrative, concealing the topics he discussed with Chen Deng at that time.
This was a key factor in why he was despised by Chen Deng.
Liu Bei and Chen Deng even became good friends.
Liu Bei, who had always kept his emotions secret, saw Xu Si slandering Chen Deng so much, and immediately complained about Chen Deng and scolded Xu Si.
From this, there is an additional story in Chinese historical idioms about asking for land and asking for a house.
But at this time, things happened without warning, but Ma Chao felt a little weird.
Turning his head to look at Liu Bei, he saw that Liu Bei was still angry, but he held his fists in shame and apologized to Ma Chao and others: "Bei was so angry that he offended King Yong and everyone.
Please forgive me.
Please forgive me."
"Although Chen Yuanlong is a scholar from all walks of life, he is famous all over the world.
Although Song has lived in Sichuan and Shu for a long time, he still has great admiration for Chen Yuanlong, a hero with both civil and military skills and outstanding courage.
This person can only be found among the ancients.
Today's There is no one in the world who can compare with him.
You are just a chatterer, a person who wants fame and fame, and you have lived half your life in vain but have no merit.
You have the nerve to talk nonsense about Chen Yuanlong here, and you are scolded by Xuande Gong.
You really deserve the blame."
These words were spoken by Zhang Song.
After saying this, in addition to his angry look, he seemed to be a bit complacent.
Finally, he glanced at Liu Bei, Youran raised a glass of wine and motioned for Liu Bei to drink it.
Until this time, Ma Chao finally came to his senses.
Just when Liu Bei was also raising his glass to drink, he said with a bit of disdain: "Although Xu Qing is biased, Xuzhou Chen Deng is just a courageous person, but he thinks very highly of himself.
Why should such a second-rate person be criticized by me, Junyan of Jingzhou?"
After saying that, Ma Chao glanced sideways at Liu Bei, the intimidating anger in his eyes was obvious.
Zhang Song was left on the spot for a moment, feeling extremely embarrassed.
On the other hand, everyone in Jingzhou looked happy, and they couldn't help but have a good impression of Ma Chao.
As for Liu Bei, he was unable to advance or retreat for a while.
He was stared at by the Jingzhou celebrities, as if he was suddenly the target of public criticism.
"King Yong, are you trying to deceive me, Zhang Song, who has eyesight but doesn't recognize heroes?"
Zhang Song finally came to his senses, put down his wine glass and said seriously:
