Although Sun Jian is not as powerful as Cao Cao now, if he can capture Yizhou and then take advantage of the situation to capture Jiaozhou, then he may not be able to form a stalemate between the north and the south with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked down on himself, so Sun Jian might be a better choice.
"Hmph, even if Cao Cao is incompetent and can't accept me, I don't believe that there is no hero in the world who can recognize my talent, Zhang Song!" Zhang Song secretly decided to defect to Sun Jian, Zhang Song said to Gao Shun in a conceited tone.
.
"Zhang Biejia wants to join Jiangdong Sun Jian?" Gao Shun asked nonchalantly.
Zhang Song was not surprised that Gao Shun saw through what he was thinking. After all, the general trend of the world is now certain, and the other princes besides Cao Cao are Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, Sun Jian of Jiangdong, and Shi Xie who occupies the remote area of Jiaozhou.
There were only a few people left, and among them only Sun Jian could be considered a British master.
"Yes, so what? Cao Cao won't tolerate me, so naturally I can only find another Ming master." Zhang Song said calmly.
"Haha." Gao Shun smiled lightly, adding a bit of sarcasm in his tone, and said, "Why does Zhang Biejia think that your situation will be better after arriving in Jiangdong than in Xuchang?"
Zhang Song was startled when he heard this, but he had never thought about this problem.
Perhaps due to his arrogance, Zhang Song always takes things for granted. Before coming to Xuchang, Zhang Song took it for granted that he would be treated politely and be reused by Cao Cao, so that he could be promoted to a higher position and his future would be limitless. But now.
, after Zhang Song made up his mind to go to Jiangdong, he took it for granted that after arriving in Jiangdong, he would definitely be treated politely and valued by Sun Jian.
As for the outcome of being treated coldly by Sun Jian, Zhang Song never even considered the possibility, just like he never thought that he would be ignored by Cao Cao.
"Sun Wentai is the British leader of Jiangdong, how can he be so condescending to a wise man? He is nothing compared to Cao Cao!" Zhang Song felt guilty when Gao Shun said this, but he still pretended to be calm and said.
"In terms of the reputation spread throughout the world, who is better, Sun Wentai, or my lord, Cao Mengde?" Gao Shun did not dwell on Zhang Song's words, but simply asked in an understatement.
Hearing what Gao Shun said, Zhang Song was stunned again.
What about his reputation? Although Sun Jian's reputation was not bad, it was still inferior to Cao Cao's.
At least, Cao Cao's reputation is far better than that of Sun Jian in terms of being courteous to the virtuous and eager to seek talents. Cao Cao employs people regardless of trivial details or their origins. It is a complete meritocracy. Although Sun Jian does not
We pay attention to talents, but the word "family status" is somewhat attached to it.
Although Sun Jian also has generals like Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin who were born as water thieves, they are all military generals. At least in terms of civil servants, it seems that there are really not many people under Sun Jian who are from humble backgrounds. But Cao Cao's side is different.
People like Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others were not from famous families, but their status in Cao's camp was not low.
Cao Cao, who is known as a talent-hungry man by everyone in the world, doesn't like him so much. Will Sun Jian definitely take him seriously? Will he be in trouble when he gets to Jiangdong?
For the first time, Zhang Song felt unconfident.
Why on earth? Why on earth didn’t Cao Cao want to see me? Since he has a reputation of being eager for talent and meritorious, why would he target himself and treat him coldly?
Or is his talent too high, so high that even Cao Cao is jealous?
So far, Zhang Song does not think that the fault lies with himself.
However, Gao Shun's words finally made him feel a little frustrated. He had already hit a wall with Cao Cao. If there was still no results in going to Jiangdong, could he only go back to Yizhou and wait dryly for Yizhou to be conquered by others in the future?
Zhang Song is not willing to be like this, he is not willing to be mediocre, and he is not willing to do nothing in Yizhou. He wants to make contributions, he wants to be successful, and he wants to be a prime minister and a marquis!
It must be said that Zhang Song is a very ambitious person, although he does not have the talent to match his ambition.
Watching Zhang Song's face turn green and white, Gao Shun was secretly happy. Before coming to see Zhang Song, Gao Shun was not very sure about persuading this person, but at this moment, he believed that he would probably succeed.
"Yishun looks at it, it would be better for Zhang Biejia to return to Shuzhong as soon as possible, so as not to make things difficult for him again after arriving in Jiangdong, which will only make him unhappy." Gao Shun was just short of the last fire, and Gao Shun didn't mind adding more fire.
"Hmph, I was treated poorly by Sun Jian in Jiangdong. This is purely a conjecture on your part and has no basis at all. How can it be taken as true? How can you know that Sun Jian will not treat me like a guest after I arrive in Jiangdong?"
Zhang Song was still arrogant, but judging from his tone, he didn't have much confidence.
It is estimated that Zhang Song can now imagine himself being ignored by Sun Jian in Jiangdong.
"How Sun Jian will treat Zhang Biejia, you will know when you go to Jiangdong. But if you are disgraced by then, don't blame me for not mentioning it." Seeing that the heat was almost just right, Gao Shun began to attack Zhang Song.
The final verbal attack was, "If Zhang Bieji doesn't want to return to Shu in vain, the only way at the moment is to stay in Xuchang for a chance to change."
