"Yang Song?" Liu Qi didn't react for a while when he heard the name.

After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly realized it.

In later generations, there seems to be no record of this person in official history, and it seems to be mentioned only in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The description of him in the book is extremely greedy for money, accepting bribes, selling his owners for fame, and forgetting his righteousness when he sees profit. His behavior is extremely despicable.

Anyway, he couldn't find a good review.

"Wen Pin and Zhang Lu both recommend this Yang Song to come to the army? Could it be that this person has any extraordinary talents?" Liu Qi asked Ma Xuan tentatively.

Ma Xuan said seriously: "After this person came to the army, the last official taught this person his knowledge in person. Although this person has read several classics and history, he has not studied it thoroughly. However, he is a native of the ancient Chinese school, which is quite strange."

"It's nothing strange. Since Zheng Xue was flourishing and the Imperial Academy was destroyed and abolished, this folk ancient literature school has already become the best of latecomers... By the way, how is Yang Song's origin?"

This sentence has come to the root of the question.

"The Yang family is the head of the local tyrants, with many branches in the clan. The clan is centered on Nanzheng, north to Baozhong, west to Mianyang, east to Anyang, south to Hanshan. About 60% of the land belongs to the Yang family. The Yang family is the most prosperous clan family where the Yang family is located, but there are still many branches all around Nanzheng, which can be regarded as a great family. The number of clan tribes under its command is probably not too much compared to the soldiers of the county and state."

Liu Qi nodded suddenly: "No wonder, no wonder... Haha, this is another strong man in the village. No wonder even Zhongye wants to recommend him to the army."

Ma Xuan said: "Although he is a child of a large family, Yang Song's classics are very superficial, but he is quite eloquent and quick-responsive. If he is used as an envoy, it would be of great use."

Liu Qi thought calmly for a while, and said, "Bo Chang, arrange for Yang Song to go to the study behind the county government office to see me."

"promise."

...

In the study, Liu Qi met Yang Song for the first time.

He is not slutty in appearance and looks quite honest. He is said to be hypocritical. His clothes are all good materials, and he is obviously from a wealthy family.

No wonder, after all, it is one of the few powerful people near Nanzheng, and has countless families with wealth and wealth.

"The last official Yang Song, I have met the Lord of the Liu Mansion." Yang Song hugged his hands in front of his forehead and bowed.

Liu Qi stretched out his hand and wanted him to get up. But he saw Yang Song suddenly kneeling on the ground again, his forehead was on his palm, and he actually bowed. Although he straightened his waist and his hands were gathered to the point of his eyebrows, this was a pleasure.

This set is a very formal worship ceremony, which is far from the meaning of an ordinary worship ceremony or bowing ceremony.

Too formal.

Liu Qi looked at Yang Song in surprise, his mind slightly changed.

"Why is this Yang Jun? There is no need for such a great gift. Please get up quickly."

Yang Song stood up and said righteously: "Yang met the Master Ying today, and was overjoyed for a while, so he gave a visit to the great ceremony to recognize the Master."

When he said this, his expression was extremely sincere. At least on the surface, it was pure from the heart, without any awkwardness or falsehood.

Liu Qi smiled helplessly.

OK... First there was Zhang Yun, then Cai Mao, now there was another Yang Song, and probably his brother Yang Bai would be in the future.

This is the rhythm of the meeting of treacherous officials.

"You don't need to be polite to Mr. Yang. Yang is very famous in Hanzhong. Now you have been jointly recommended by Wen Zhongye and Zhang Gongqi to come to our army. I expected that there is no mistake. Liu Qi has a major event now and wants to entrust him to Mr. Yang to do it. I wonder if Mr. Yang is willing to share his worries for Mr. Liu?"

When Yang Song heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "The last official is willing to share the worries for the master."

Yang Song was an opportunist who was both greedy and selfish. When Su Gu, Zhang Lu and others occupied Hanzhong, the Yang family did not express surrender to them or depend on them. This was because the governor of Yizhou was Liu Yan, and in terms of identity, he was the supreme ruler.

The Yang family still cannot see the direction of the pattern in Shuzhong for the time being, and Su Gu and Zhang Lu have no background. In the eyes of the Yang family, they really can't get any benefits from them.

But after Liu Qi occupied Hanzhong, the pattern of Yizhou was particularly clear.

With the ruinous situation under Liu Yan, it will sooner or later be merged by Liu Qi. If the Yang family does not take the initiative to rely on Liu Qi at this time, it would be too unreasonable.

Therefore, Yang Bai took the initiative to express his surrender to Wenpin and cleared the relationship with Zhang Lu through Mrs. Lu. Wenpin is now the lord of a county. For the sake of stability in Hanzhong, he naturally wanted to reuse the Yang family.

While Wen Pin deported Yang Bai in Nanzheng Zheng, he also transported Yang Song to Liu Qi's army.

The current situation is subtle. Although Hanzhong is connected to Jingzhou, Liu Yan dominated Shuzhong in the south, and many warlords from Guanzhong and Liangzhou in the north are occupied. Liu Qi has just occupied Hanzhong not long. In order to ensure the stability of Hanzhong County, he had to use the Yang family.

Of course, judging from this flattery spirit, Yang Song doesn’t seem to be a good person, and he is very particular about how to use such a person.

"I want to send you an envoy to help me contact Li Jue, a great tyrant in Liangzhou. This person is Dong Zhuo's beloved general and has military power. I want to work with him to do some important things, but this behavior still needs to be confidential. Only someone who is eloquent and bold and careful can do it."

When Yang Song heard this, he showed a little hesitation.

Who is Li Jue? The generals of the Xiliang Army are not famous, nor are they good things. They are all tigers and wolves!

Is it safe to be a person like this as an envoy?

But hesitation was only a moment, and Yang Song quickly made up his mind.

Wealth and honor are in danger!

"The last official is willing to go."

"Okay, Mr. Yang is really sincere. If this matter is done, I will treat you well. Then Li Jue and I are old. When I went to Luo, I had a secret relationship with him and were also familiar with him... But when I was in the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong this year, I used a powerful crossbow formation to break him and kill many of his Xiliang army's troops. Now I want to talk to him again, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi leaned forward slightly and said, "Is there any way for Mr. Yang to convince Li Jue to join me?"

Yang Song stroked his beard and thought carefully for a while before saying, "The Master is willing to give it a try, but he also needs the Master of the House to provide some valuable treasures to the Master of the Lord to bribe Li Jue, which may make a fortune."

"Oh?" Liu Qi raised the corner of his mouth, and his expression was quite playful: "Li Jue is a powerful man at least, and he is also a powerful general under Dong Zhuo. What kind of treasure hasn't been seen before? Is it still lacking wealth and bribery?"

To put it bluntly, it is purely temptation.

Li Jue is greedy and Liu Qi is not unaware of it. On the contrary, he understands it better than anyone else.

When he took away the Kuai family from Li Jie and was granted the title of the Kuai family. When the Cai family made a statement, he used the method of bribery.

Yang Song said seriously: "The Lord of the House is not aware that although Li Jue is a great man in Liangzhou, he is just a member of the border county. Liangzhou is a barren and barren land, and the powerful are just a member of the Qiang tribe all year round. It is difficult to see a few beautiful Shu brocades on weekdays. Dong Zhuo was robbed by Sili soldiers, but the wealth he robbed was very stingy to his subordinates. If he bribed Li Jue with his famous treasures, the past grudges would definitely disappear."

Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction: "Yang Jun's words are quite reasonable... Okay, as Yang Jun said, I immediately ordered someone to buy famous utensils, treasures, gold, silk and wealth. Yang Jun can secretly go to see Li Jue, pass on the message for me, and signal to him that he is friendly."

Yang Song stood up and bowed again to receive the order.

Liu Qi then informed Yang Song about what he wanted to discuss with Li Jue, and asked him to take the opportunity of bribing Li Jue to discuss it carefully.

All Yang Song is remembered in his heart.

After Liu Qi finished giving the order, Yang Song quietly took out a piece of silk from his arms, a thick piece, and didn't know what it was written.

He walked up and presented it respectfully on Liu Qi's desk, saying seriously: "This is a famous ancient book that Yang ordered people to collect in recent years. Today, I will present it to the Lord of the Palace to express Yang's respect."

Liu Qi frowned, somehow... the scene in front of him seemed to evoke a part of his memory. Except for the different parties involved, the others were exactly the same as today's scene.

"What is Yang Jun offering?"

Yang Song didn't say anything, but just gave the things with a smile.

Liu Qi reached out to take it, opened it and took a look...

OK, it’s another hand-to-hand book with pictures…

These treacherous ministers really have one end to the other, and they all like to offer this thing to the Lord.

Liu Qi slowly closed the silk, narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Song for a while, and suddenly Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I have accepted the things, thank you Yang Jun for your kindness... Please take care of yourself all the way, be careful, and when I succeed the next day, I will give you a generous reward."

When Yang Song saw that Liu Qi had something under his command, he calmed down and turned into a happy mood.

"Don't worry, the last official will definitely live up to his mission."

...

When he was young, Yang Song left Liu Qi's study and came outside the house. A trace of disdain flashed unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.

"Hehe, Liu Boyu is not as great as the rumored ones." Yang Song shook his head and said with a smile to himself.
