Chapter 40 The Rival

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many evil spirits. If we talk about the world's number one strategist, there might be many statements, but Chen Mang felt that Li Ru was definitely one of the candidates.

He assisted Dong Zhuo at that time and asked him to use the emperor to command the princes. Later, he also planned to defeat the eighteen princes and also discovered Wang Yun's series of plans and Cao Cao's sword-promoting plan. If Dong Zhuo could allow him to display his talents, he would probably have been Dong's surname in the world long ago.

Therefore, after seeing Li Ru, Chen Mang didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked about his strategy to defeat the enemy.

Li Ru did not disappoint him. Under the threat of his steel knife, he immediately offered two strategies against Han Sui-Ma Teng and Gongsun Du.

Now in Xiliang, Ma Teng is strong, and his son Ma Chao is inappropriate. Han Sui has no military general who can compete with him. Every time he faces the enemy, he has to send four generals to resist.

Li Ru suggested that Chen Mang reward Han Sui. Whether Han Sui accepts or not, Ma Teng would be shocked that Han Sui sui would surrender to Chen Mang, and then sent someone to disguise Han Sui's troops and go to Ma Teng's territory to rob. When the two of them fell, they would inevitably fight, and Chen Mang could reap the profits.

As for Gongsun Du, Li Ru suggested to separate and transform them. Now Gongsun Du is over fifty years old, and his martial arts skills are rapidly regressing, and his body is like a candle in the wind, and he is about to die.

His two sons, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong, were planning their own plans for the throne. If Chen Mang could unite Gongsun Gong and help him attack Goguryeo, when Gongsun Gong took over Goguryeo territory and had a foothold, the brothers' battles would be almost unstoppable.

When both of their brothers were injured, Chen Mang could easily recover the land of northern Liao.

Chen Mang was very satisfied with Li Ru's plan and handed over these two matters to him. He then called his civil servants and generals to discuss the matters of Liu Biao and Liu Bei in the southern expedition.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei were both relatives of the Han Dynasty. Under the tremendous pressure from Chen Mang, they had already formed allies. They jointly attacked Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. They wanted to open up all the barriers between Jingzhou and Yizhou so that the two families could resist Chen Mang together.

At this time, six years have passed since Zhang Lu attacked Ba County and seized Hanzhong. Zhang Lu called himself the Heavenly Master and tamed the local people with the Five Doks of Rice Road, establishing a **** regime.

In a few years, there was no war under Hanzhong's rule. In addition, the weather was good, and the rice and food were sufficient, the local people supported his rule very much. In addition, he learned family magic and could bless his subordinates, so that Liu Bei and Liu Biao attacked Hanzhong for half a year in a row, but they did not chew off this piece of meat bone.

On the hall? Chen Mang sat on the golden dragon chaise and glanced at the civil and military officials in the hall, asking: "Now Liu Biao and Liu Bei have formed an alliance and acted against the will of heaven. I want to raise troops to attack, and my dear friends can speak freely."

Since Xu Chu surrendered to Chen Mang, he hasn't fought a few battles yet, and he knew that this time was probably the last chance to compete for military achievements. He immediately stepped forward and said, "I want to be the vanguard and defeat the two thieves of the Liu family for Your Majesty!"

Zilong also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty? Zilong asked for a fight!"

Chen Mang nodded: "Accurate, you and the two of you will be the vanguards in this battle."

The two of them took the order with excitement and retreated back to their respective seats.

Jia Xu stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty? Hanzhong is the passage to enter Shu. If you want to attack Liu Bei, you should take Hanzhong first."

Chen Mang said: "Zhang Lu, Hanzhong, do you have any plans to take him down?"

Yu Ji went out and said, "My teacher, the disciple has some friendship with Zhang Lu's grandfather Zhang Daoling, so you can go and persuade him to surrender."

Chen Mang said in surprise: "Is it reliable?"

Yu Ji said with reverence: "Of course I don't have such great face when I go alone, but if my teacher is in charge of the army, then Zhang Lu will definitely be intimidated when he sees his teacher Tianyan, and he will bow down!"

Chen Mang looked at Yu Ji's face a few times and complained: "Disciple, you are possessed by Zhuge Villageman..."

Zhuge Liang said dissatisfiedly: "Lord, Liang is still alive!"

Chen Mang was surprised: "When did you come, Kongming?"

Zhuge Liang: "..."

I feel so tired that I don't want to talk...

As the first battle after the founding of the country, Chen Mang decided to show his might and brought Zilong, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, and Cao Pi, leading a hundred thousand troops to the army in person, and the group went south in a mighty manner.

Seeing Chen Mang coming in a fierce manner, Liu Biao immediately frightened back to Xiangyang and focused on defending.

Liu Bei also stopped attacking Zhang Lu. Relying on the dangerous terrain of Yizhou, he sent Zhang Zhaoyun to divide his troops into three groups to guard the Yizhou pass, and persuaded Zhang Lu to surrender.

A few days later, Chen Mang led his army from Wuguan to Hanzhong County, and sent Yu Ji to send a letter of persuasion to Zhang Lu, who was in Nanzheng. :(/

Yu Ji was alone, along the way, Zhang Lu's soldiers were unaware of it. It was not until he came to Zhang Lu's residence that he took the initiative to report his name. Zhang Lu then realized that Yu Ji was coming and hurriedly ordered someone to invite him into the room.

Zhang Lu was wearing a crane cloak with a floating posture, while Yu Ji was wearing a gray cloth robe, with a childish face and a superb posture.

When the two geniuses saw each other, they knew that they had met their colleagues. After greeting each other, they sat down with guests and hosts.

After the tea, Yu Ji opened the right way and said, "Fellow Taoist, Yu Ji came here this time because he was instructed by his mentor to persuade him to surrender."

Zhang Lu was surprised when he heard this, looked carefully at the old man in front of him who was the same generation as his grandfather, and said with a strange look: "You dare to ask senior, who is Ling Shi?"

Yu Ji showed a respectful look and stood up and said, "My teacher's name is Chenxiamang, and he is in charge of heaven. This is the current Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Lu almost didn't lift it up in one breath, coughed, and his eyelids twitched and said, "Senior, don't joke, then Chen Mang is only twenty years old, how could he be a senior teacher?"

Yu Ji smiled and said, "I heard that there are successive Taoism and specialized in art. My teacher was born in the world by heaven and man. I served under my teacher for a year and passed the previous hundred years of hard practice. My fellow Taoist is still young and his qualifications are still above Ji. If I can join my teacher, my future will be limitless."

Zhang Lu looked at Yu Ji with a doubtful look on his face. He felt that this old man was either crazy, or he was crazy, otherwise how could he hear such a ridiculous statement?

Seeing his expression, Yu Ji split a small ball of spiritual energy from his body with distress and said, "Fellow Taoist, this is the meeting gift that his teacher asked Yu Ji to give you."

Zhang Lu felt the ball of spiritual energy in Yu Ji's hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He reached out and put the spiritual energy into his body. His body trembled slightly and said, "Immortal energy!"

Yu Ji nodded with a smile. Looking at his excited appearance, he felt that the remaining 90% of the spiritual energy was probably useless, so he detained it as his own errand fee and persuaded him: "Fellow Taoist, if you join the sect of your mentor, you will become the second Peng Zu who will live for 800 years. If you surrender, you will not surrender. I hope that the Taoist will consider it with you."

Zhang Lu's eyes were shiny, and he weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

At this moment, a disciple ran in in a small step and said to Zhang Lu: "Tianshi, Liu Bei has sent someone to send letters again."

Zhang Lu took the letter and looked at it, snorted coldly, "Ha, it's another letter of persuasion to surrender. This big-eared thief bullied me too much!"

After saying that, Zhang Lu tore the letter apart, stepped forward and grabbed Yu Ji's wrist, and said with a warm look: "I, Zhang Luning, are my mentors, not Liu Bei's guests! Senior brother, go with me to welcome my mentors, don't let my mentors wait for a long time!"

Looking at Zhang Lu who was anxious in front of him, Yu Ji couldn't help but look frightened.
