"If Zhang Bieji doesn't want to return to Shu in vain, the only way right now is to stay in Xuchang for a chance to change." The heat was almost right, and Gao Shun began to launch his final verbal offensive against Zhang Song.
"Cao Mengde treated me rudely, what's the point of staying in Xuchang?" Hearing that Gao Shun advised him to stay in Xuchang, Zhang Song was a little puzzled. Even if he couldn't go to Jiangdong, what's the point of staying in Xuchang? Cao Cao
It was obvious that he didn't like it, so even if he still wanted to give Yizhou to him, I'm afraid he would treat his kindness like a donkey's heart and completely ignore his kindness.
And Zhang Song also knew that Cao Cao was more interested in capturing Jiangdong first than Yizhou. In this case, it would be more difficult to turn around.
Although Gao Shun was deeply trusted and reused by Cao Cao, Zhang Song did not think that he had the ability to change Cao Cao's decision-making.
In this case, is it necessary for me to continue to stay in Xuchang?
"Have you ever presented the topographic map of Western Shu to my lord?" Gao Shun did not respond to Zhang Song's question, but asked from another angle.
"No." Zhang Song replied. Cao Cao couldn't stand Zhang Song, and Zhang Song's impression of Cao Cao wasn't much better. Although he came to Xuchang with the purpose of dedicating Yizhou to him at the beginning, after several exchanges with Cao Cao
After the conversation, Zhang Song gave up this idea. Under such circumstances, how could he take out the topographic map of Xishu?
Sure enough... Gao Shun thought secretly in his heart.
Cao Cao did not want to attack Western Shu, but instead set his sights on Sun Jian from the east of the Yangtze River. On the one hand, Cao Cao had the confidence to defeat Sun Jian, but on the other hand, could it be because the terrain in central Shu was rugged and difficult for the army to enter?
Although attacking Jiangdong still had to face a natural chasm along the Yangtze River, Cao Cao thought that by capturing Jingzhou and with the assistance of Cai Mao and other generals who were familiar with water warfare, it would not be a problem to create a naval force that could run rampant across the Yangtze River. However, attacking Xishu was different.
Facing the many mountains and unfamiliar terrain, it would be too difficult for the army to enter Shu, so Cao Cao did not focus on Yizhou.
However, if Cao Cao obtained the topographic map of Western Shu, would his inner thoughts change?
This topographic map of Western Shu is drawn in great detail. Although it is not as detailed as the maps of later generations, it is definitely the highest level map at the same time. With this topographic map of Western Shu, the entire Yizhou is like
A woman with a wide girdle, her jade body laid out before your eyes, ready for you to pluck.
Although the mountains and rivers of Yizhou will not change after obtaining this map, we can clearly understand which mountain roads are easy to pass and which are dangerous and difficult.
It can be said that the difficulty of capturing Yizhou like this has dropped to the extreme. Gao Shun did not believe it, and Cao Cao would not be tempted by it.
By then, even if he still has the intention of attacking Jiangdong first, as long as he has thoughts about Yizhou in his heart, it is possible to persuade him to change his mind.
Gao Shun told Zhang Song his judgment, and Zhang Song also fell into deep thought.
What Gao Shun said sounded very reasonable. He presented the topographic map of Western Shu to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was very likely to be tempted by Yizhou.
However, Cao Cao was so rude to him. How could the arrogant Zhang Song be willing to take the initiative to stick his face on Cao Cao's ass under such circumstances?
However, if he did not submit a plan, then Cao Cao would never change his mind and attack Yizhou, and he would have no choice but to pack up his luggage and return home without making any achievements.
Zhang Song was filled with contradictions.
Gao Shun also saw Zhang Song's inner struggle, but he was not anxious at all.
He had already lured Zhang Song into the trap by constantly tempting him with words. Through his words, Zhang Song knew that there were only two options at the moment, either to present the topographic map of Western Shu to Cao Cao, or to return in despair.
state.
It is certainly humiliating to present a map to Cao Cao, but to go back to Yizhou without achieving anything like this, for the proud Zhang Song, the humiliation he suffered was definitely more unacceptable than bowing down to Cao Cao.
With a disgusting character like Zhang Song, even if there are confidants like Fa Zheng and Meng Da in Yizhou, the number of enemies is definitely more. If Zhang Song returns to Yizhou in despair, he will definitely become the ridicule of these people.
The object of ridicule and criticism, even Liu Zhang, who didn't think highly of him to begin with, would despise him even more.
Can this kind of thing be tolerated, especially by Zhang Song, who is very ambitious?
Although Zhang Song still didn't want to do something to put down his dignity and sell himself to Cao Cao, presenting the picture was finally a credit, and it was more serious than being laughed at by his colleagues who originally looked down upon him after returning to Yizhou.
Can be accepted by Zhang Song.
Zhang Song struggled alone, and Gao Shun did not bother him. Gao Shun believed that Zhang Song would eventually make the judgment he expected.
Of course, if Zhang Songming is stubborn, it can only be said that he is extremely stupid. At that time, the worst he can do is kill him and then find the topographic map of Xishu alone.
After more than ten years of time traveling and countless killings, how could Gao Shun be a good man and a woman of faith? Zhang Song was originally a despicable villain, and with this naturally disgusting appearance, if Gao Shun wanted to kill him, he would not be under any psychological pressure at all.
have.
After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhang Song finally seemed to have figured it out, with a look of determination on his ugly face.
