Under Yang Song's persuasion, Zhang Lu finally agreed to surrender. (1_1) He proposed only one condition, that is, the court openly admits the Five Doks of Rice and allows him to preach in various places.

Zhang Lu's reaction was as expected by Zhou Yu, Jia Xu, Lu Su and others, and had already made arrangements. Xu Huang took out Zhou Yu's secret letter and handed it to Zhang Lu on the spot, which made Zhang Lu's heart hanging in the air suddenly relieved...

For Zhang Lu, if he lost the Hanzhong area, he could still maintain his wealth and glory. For the Five Doks of Rice Road, he could have the opportunity to expand to the Central Plains, Liaodong and Jiangdong. Zhang Lu was not stupid, so he naturally understood the significance.

Soon, mainly Zhang Lu's personal guards, several groups of cavalry rushed out of Nanzheng City. They carried Zhang Lu's handwriting on them, and immediately stopped resisting and surrendered to the court!

When Yang Ang received Zhang Lu's handwritten instructions, he also saw Yang Song's secret letter. When he learned that the court would have strong support for the Yang family in Hanzhong, he did not hesitate and immediately opened the door and welcomed Lu Su outside the city to enter the pass.

The two sides were fighting to the death just now, but at this moment, they were shaking hands and talking about joy. This world is often so wonderful.

Lu Su then left Deng Sheng to guard San Pass, gathered Yang Ang's troops, led a large army to march straight into. After passing Wudu and arrived in front of Yangping Pass, Zhang Wei and other generals were waiting outside the pass. This time, Lu Su stayed at Yangping Pass with a side general Lu Meng. After a series of battles, Lu Meng had grown into a general who could stand alone.

Three days later, Lu Su's army arrived in Nanzheng. Xu Huang went out of the city to greet him ten miles away. The two armies met and were excited. Lu Su was encouraged by his great contributions. He had already submitted a letter to the court and the commendation order would be delivered in a few days. *1*1*

After that, Lu Su moved into the city. He met Zhang Lu, comforted Zhang Lu for a few words, and sent his mansion back intact, so that he could rest in peace and wait for the court to settle. Afterwards, Lu Su sent all the troops to Hanzhong counties and handed over to the handed orders of Zhang Lu. The county magistrates were all sacrificial wine in the Five Doks of Rice Road, and he followed Zhang Lu's handed orders. Most of the hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhong were religious members. Since the Heavenly Master had surrendered to the court, how could they still object?

Hanzhong. From then on, no longer had the surname Zhang.

Twenty days later, the imperial envoy of the court arrived in Nanzheng in a row. It was at least 4,000 miles from Moling to Nanzheng, which took more than 100 miles a day. Some of the mountain roads were still rugged and difficult to walk. Thank you so much for the hard work of this imperial envoy.

The emperor ordered Zhang Lu to be appointed as General Zhennan, and was granted the title of Marquis of Langzhong, with a fief of thousands of households. Zhang Lu's eldest son Zhang Fu was appointed as Marquis of Changting, and the Zhang Lu family moved to Moling to settle down. The rest of Zhang Lu's subordinates were rewarded.

Hanzhong is a newly surrendered area, connected to Bashu in the south and Guanzhong in the north. Since he had to be the governor of Guanzhong, Lu Meng got this opportunity with his outstanding performance in recent years and was named the prefect of Hanzhong. He led his troops to guard the headquarters. After integrating Zhang Lu's original tribes, Lu Meng's tribe named Hanzhong Camp, with a division of 30,000. As for the Ma Chao brothers who supported the battle, the court issued generous rewards and named Ma Chao the Marquis of Duting to commend his military achievements.

Zhang Lu followed the order. Half a month later, Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei brothers led the entire Zhang family to pack their luggage, left Nanzheng, and headed for Moling. The Hanzhong people crossed the road to see each other off, not only to bid farewell to the Five Doks of Rice Taoist Heavenly Master whom they admired, but also to thank Zhang Lu for decisively surrendering to the court and avoiding the disaster of the Hanzhong people's weapons.

Due to Zhang Lu's respectful status in the Five Doks of Rice Road, he had many followers. After Zhang Lu moved to Moling in the east, a large number of religious followers also migrated, which increased the Jiangdong area by nearly 100,000 people, which shows his influence.

The Five Dogs of Rice Road gradually spread to the Central Plains and Jiangdong. Zhou Yu secretly ordered Jingwuwei to strictly monitor it to prevent him from gathering people to cause chaos and disturbing the place. Thirteen years later, Zhang Lu became a mad person in Moling and buried in the east of the city, and Zhou Yu was given a lot of pension. Zhang Lu's eldest son Zhang Fu, the second son Zhang Guang and other seven brothers continued to preach, but they improved the Five Dogs of Rice Road to cater to the court's rule over the people, but their influence continued to shrink. As time went by, the Five Dogs of Rice Road gradually dissipated into the world. This is something that will not be mentioned later.

Let us focus our attention on the country of Tianfu.

Hanzhong changed its owner and Bashu was shocked. Although Liu Zhang was gentle in nature and was unwilling to expand his territory by expending money, it only showed that he was content with the status quo and was not a foolish person. Over the past few days, Liu Zhang took the initiative to summon his subordinates to discuss it several times for the matter in Hanzhong. The topic was naturally how to deal with the great changes in Hanzhong.

On this day, Wang Lei, the chief clerk Huang Quan, the leader of the army, Zhang Song, the general Zhang Ren and Wu Yi were recruited by Liu Zhang into the mansion. After the discussion was completed, they each left the mansion, either got on a horse or a sedan chair, preparing to return home.

Huang Quan was from Langzhong, Bazi. When he was young, he was a county official. He was quick-thinking and martial arts. He was summoned by Liu Zhang as the chief clerk and was quite trustworthy. Not long after he rode on the horse, he suddenly tied the reins, turned his head, and rushed to chase Wang Lei and left in a sedan chair. The two guards were a little stunned, then reacted, rode their horses and whipped, and followed Huang Quan.

Wang Lei was sitting in the sedan chair with his eyes closed and resting. When he heard Huang Quan call him, he quickly picked up the curtain of the sedan chair and replied, "Gongheng, let's sit in my house for a while." After that, Wang Lei pointed to a large sedan chair five or six feet away in front of him, and Zhang Song's short figure could be seen in the sedan chair.

Huang Quan understood, so he slowed down his horse and deliberately landed behind Wang Lei's sedan chair for a distance. When Zhang Song and his entourage disappeared from the corner of the street, he turned around and walked forward dozens of feet to Wang Lei's mansion.

Huang Quan didn't know that Zhang Song, who was sitting in the sedan chair, had noticed his actions long ago, and a faint sneer floated on the corner of Zhang Song's mouth.

Wang Lei was a Guanghan native. He has always been famous for his loyalty, straightforwardness and steadfastness. He was trusted by Liu Yan, the former governor of Yizhou. Therefore, after Liu Zhang took over, he continued to use him, in charge of Yizhou literature and illegal investigation. Wang Lei also offended many officials because of this, especially with Zhang Song and other officials from Yizhou natives. He had a lot of conflicts.

"Gongheng, but for the lord, I want to send someone to Jiangdong to pay tribute?" Wang Lei's eyes were bright and he was approaching Huang Quan.

Huang Quan was straightforward and said bluntly: "That's right! I think the lord's move is inappropriate! I think Bashu is a country of Heavenly Palace, with a fertile land of thousands of miles, a rich and strong country, with a million household registration, and more than 200,000 armored men! And if you have a dangerous terrain, you can fight hard, and you can completely resist the enemy from the country! The lord is polite to the people, and does not launch a war, and it is also necessary to take Baozhou as its main priority, but if you lead a wolf into the house, you are afraid that Bashu will be over!"

Wang Lei's face changed and he asked: "The lord sent someone to pay tribute, which is the duty of his ministers to fulfill. Why did Gongheng say that he would lead the wolf into the house?"

Huang Quan sighed and said, "What kind of person is Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao who was on the mission? He is short, dissolute and unconventional, talented but ambitious. I have heard that this person is dissatisfied with his lord and sighed in private that he is hard to fulfill his ambitions. Today, Zhou Gongjin is powerful and uses the emperor to order disobey his ministers. He treats capable people without asking about their background and respects the wise and inferior people. I am only afraid that Zhang Song will sell his master for honor when he goes here!"
