Chapter 832 Zhang Lu's dilemma

Zhang Lu is the tenth-generation grandson of Zhang Liang and a native of Pei. His grandfather was Zhang Ling, the first Tianshidao of Tianshidao. His father Zhang Heng. After his father's death, Zhang Lu began to inherit the name of Tianshi and preach in the local area.

Originally, Zhang Lu could only exist as a founder of the Heavenly Master, but Zhang Lu's mother was very powerful. It is said that she had practiced magical skills. She was so old that she was a girl. She actually climbed up to Liu Yan. Liu Yan entered Yizhou, and Zhang Lu's mother worked. Then Zhang Lu was appointed as the governor of Yi Sima and other Sima Zhang Xiu to conquer Su Gu in Hanzhong.

Su Gu was basically a civil servant who only knew politics. When the army came, the timid Su Gu escaped and was later caught and killed by Zhang Xiu. Seeing that Zhang Lu had made great contributions, he set up an ambush to lure Zhang Xiu, and then swallowed his troops and defended himself. He basically refused to miss Liu Yan. At this time, Liu Yan was busy dealing with the local tribes in Yizhou, and he didn't care about Zhang Lu, so Zhang Lu became bigger in Hanzhong.

After Zhang Lu gained a foothold in Hanzhong, he began to promote the "Five Dou Rice Dao" in Hanzhong. Why do you want to promote the Five Dou Rice Dao instead of the Tianshi Dao? There is a reason, because Zhang Xiu has been promoting the Five Dou Rice Dao in Hanzhong, and Zhang Xiu was like Zhang Jiao in Jizhou. Therefore, the Five Dou Rice Dao is quite marketable in Hanzhong, and Zhang Xiu himself can actually be regarded as a part of the Tianshi Dao.

Therefore, Zhang Lu took over Zhang Xiu's banner and began to implement the ruling policy of unity of politics and education. It should be said that Zhang Lu's policy still pays great attention to people's livelihood and the policy of ignoring the people. Therefore, it has great appeal in the local area, which is also the reason why Dong Zhuo's army later went south and couldn't move forward.

Originally, Dong Zhuo was not afraid of attacking Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. After all, there were continuous mountains to block it, so it was not easy for Dong Zhuo to capture Hanzhong. What's more, the facts have proved that Dong Zhuo basically failed. The reason why Dong Zhuo's army was still stranded in Hanzhong was more likely to be for the sake of face and did not pose a substantial threat to Hanzhong.

However, just today, Zhang Lu received bad news. The Chang'an court appointed Liu Biao as the governor of Hanzhong. This obviously wanted to use Liu Biao to divide his power, but because of Liu Biao's special identity, he did not dare to touch him easily. If he tear Liu Yan's face at this time and gets attacked on both sides, it would obviously not be a good thing.

So Zhang Lu immediately convened his subordinates to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Lu's number one adviser was naturally Yan Pu, but Yang Song also competed for favor with him. Yang Song was a local clan. Under Zhang Lu's command, Yang Bai was also the younger brother of the auspicious supporter. He was also of the same clan as Yang Ang and Yang Ren under Zhang Lu's command. Therefore, Yang Song's status is not inferior to Yan Pu at all. To a certain extent, Zhang Lu even cared about Yang Song's opinions more.

"You all know that now that the old thief Dong Zhuo appointed Liu Biao to Hanzhong. What is the intention of not asking about it? However, Liu Biao's life and honorific are revealed. But he cannot be easily dealt with. But if Liu Biao is allowed to gain a foothold in Hanzhong, he will be troubled for a long time. I am worried, can you have a good idea?"

Yang Song twisted his sparse goatee beard, his eyes slanted, and he said disdainfully: "So what if you have the identity? I am a mountain in Hanzhong, and there are secret bandits and bandits. If he dies halfway through the way, what does it have to do with us? The lord doesn't have to worry. You can find one or two mountain tribes to relieve your worries for you!"

Zhang Lu was quite moved. You should know that Zhang Lu is not a good man and a woman, otherwise he would not have killed Zhang Xiu and replaced him. Now Liu Biao came to Hanzhong to seize power. Could it be that he would have to hold a banquet to welcome him? Yang Song's opinion is indeed feasible, and he is straightforward and can't get along with him at all. If he refuses to admit his conscience, Dong Zhuo and Liu Yan have no choice but to do anything about him!

However, just as Zhang Lu was secretly proud, Yan Pu sneered disdainfully and said, "If lord is like this, the disaster will not be far away!"

Zhang Lu was shocked: "How can I explain this to Zicun? What's wrong with Boshou (Yang Song)'s plan? Besides, even if I don't wait to find someone to attack, the mountain road is rugged, and Liu Biao may not be able to arrive in Nanzheng City safely. Could it be that they can still force this matter to be tainted by me?"

"Haha, that's true, so the lord not only cannot take action, but also has to find ways to save Liu Biao's life. Now Dong Zhuo's troops are not justified in attacking Hanzhong. We can resist with false decrees, and even denounce him as a traitor to attack him. However, if we are accused of killing the royal family, we will really become a traitor. Lord, will it be a good thing to be challenged by the people of the world at that time?"

"Hmph! Just exaggerate! Even if you are right, I, Hanzhong, have hundreds of thousands of households, have abundant land and sufficient households, and have dangerous mountains and rivers, and can defend myself. Why do you fear the world's efforts to attack it? When Emperor Gaozu seized Hanzhong and captured the world, why do you fear the power of the princes?"

Yan Pu laughed to the sky, making Yang Song feel embarrassed, while Zhang Lu was a little confused. The other generals each had their own expressions, but everyone was indeed a little repulsive to Yan Pu.

"What a good person who occupied Hanzhong and captured the world! Could it be that the lord also had the thoughts of Emperor Gaozu?"

"No!" Zhang Lu replied awkwardly, feeling a little displeased with Yang Song's unscrupulous words.

"Lord, Hanzhong has the dangers of mountains and rivers and the beauty of the land. Unfortunately, it is not enough to destroy the princes with these, and even enjoy peace and peace may not be possible!"

Yang Song curled his lips disdainfully and said, "I want to listen to Zicun's high theory with ease. I also want to know why the beauty of Hanzhong's geographical advantage is not worth watching in Zicun's eyes?"

"It is true that Hanzhong has a geographical advantage, but the dangers of Hanzhong also trap Hanzhong's hands and feet. If the surrounding princes are weak and rely on Hanzhong, the lower part can acquire Shuzhong, the upper part can annex the Sanfu, divide the Liangzhou grain road to subdue Liangzhou, and hold the Yangtze River to seek Jingxiang, and then conquer the Central Plains. However, all this is based on the weak and weak surrounding princes. If the surrounding princes are strong, Hanzhong will be like a bird in a cage, and there is no way to retreat, how can we live in peace?"

Yan Pu's voice was loud and his words were loud and loud, and everyone was stunned. Even Zhang Lu felt a chill on his back.

The situation in Hanzhong is like a bird in a cage! Dong Zhuo in the north is powerful and he uses the emperor to command the princes. This is the so-called power, power and power. Although Liu Yan in the south is a little weaker, the people in Shu are strong and strong, and Liu Yan is also from a noble family. If he is really trapped in the name of rebellion, even if there are dangers in Hanzhong, when can he protect himself?

However, Yan Pu seemed to feel that it was not shocked enough and continued: "Besides, if the lord is the name of murdering the royal family, he will lose his heart. Although the people of Hanzhong are grateful for the lord's benevolence and doctrine constraints, this is just a commoner. The Hanzhong clans may not all truly believe in the doctrines preached by the lord. At that time, the army of the north and the south will inevitably appear. If the lord can sell his master for peace, perhaps someone is willing to do it. If the lord can seek honor, my subordinates think that there are many people here, so please think twice."

Yang Song hated! Isn’t Yan Pu talking about the Yang family? But Yang Song couldn’t speak easily. If he opened his mouth at this time, it would be like not to speak. At the same time, Yang Song glared at Yang Bai who wanted to speak, closed his mouth tightly, and endured it for the time being today. There would always be a day to repay Yan Pu.

When Zhang Lu heard this, he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. Of course, the weather is also very hot today. On the big trees outside the house, summer cicadas were singing desperately, and their carefree looks made people envious.

He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Zhang Lu hesitated and said, "Zi Cun's words are reasonable, but if he does not stop Liu Biao from entering Hanzhong, Liu Biao will inevitably have conflicts with me in Hanzhong in the future and compete for people's hearts. At that time, Hanzhong will be the same danger, right?"

Yan Pu smiled and said, "If you kill Liu Biao, the danger will come immediately. If you don't kill, there may be danger or not, because we don't know how Liu Biao is capable of it. Maybe this person is a fool? Even if Liu Biao is really capable, if we are not confused by it, can we rely on his own power to fight against the power of all of us? Or is the lord not confident in himself or his loyalty to his subordinates?"

Now I understand why Yan Pu is hated, because this guy never cares about other people's ideas and face when speaking. Even if he has talent, he will actually make everyone the best. Of course, this may be Yan Pu's strategy, because Yan Pu is a foreigner in Nanzheng City, and it is difficult to get the acceptance of his colleagues anyway. So it is better to be a lonely minister to get the joy of the master. With Yan Pu's intelligence, it should not be difficult to do this.

After Yan Pu's words finished, the room became quiet again. Yan Pu's words were difficult to answer, so everyone simply stopped talking, but looked at Zhang Lu, who was frowning, and waited for Zhang Lu to make the final decision.

In fact, Yan Pu was right. Zhang Lu was the most nervous about this matter. All the aristocratic clans understood that as long as they changed their minds at critical moments, the aristocratic clans had a strong survival ability. Most of the unlucky ones were the masters. Haven’t you seen Su Gu die and the clans were destroyed? Haven’t you seen Zhang Xiuzhen die and the clans were destroyed? But the Yang family is still the Yang family, and they are still prosperous in Nanzheng City, and they are still the best clan in Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and everyone looked loyal, but only they themselves knew the facts. Zhang Lu sighed. Yan Pu meant to make a choice between dying immediately or dying later. There was almost no need to worry about this choice. People would choose the latter.

Perhaps, Liu Biao is really a fool, maybe, maybe his subordinates are really loyal, no matter what, they should choose the latter!

"Since that's the case, Yang Ren, you go to Nanxiang to welcome and protect Liu Biao and Yang Song, and write a document to express your welcome and accept the appointment of the court."

Yang Song and Yang Ren looked at each other, then looked at Yan Pu with a lustful face, and gritted their teeth and said, "Oh!"
