Chapter 501 Please help
Nanzheng City.

Goose-feather-like snow is floating, and the air seems to be condensed into ice.

"This year's weather is much colder than previous years!" Zhang Lu stood under the eaves, staring at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Hanzhong has not seen such a big snowflake for many years!"

Although Hanzhong is located in the northwest, its geographical location is already in the Central Plains. In previous years, it would snow, but it was only small snowflakes. However, since November this year, it has already been snowing heavily with continuous heavy snowfalls, which is rare. things.

"Auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year!"

Yan Pu stood beside him and said in a low voice: "This is to tell us that there will be a bumper harvest next year!"

"is it?"

The corners of Zhang Lu's mouth curled up slightly with a stern arc: "I thought that the heavy snow was sent off by the heavens for me. Perhaps the Supreme Lord thought that I was not qualified to be this celestial master at all, and brought me such a disaster!"

When the news from Xicheng came back, no matter how hard he cultivated his qi, he was furious, and almost smashed everything in the hall, before he let out a sigh of relief.

After losing Shangyongxi City, he lost half of Hanzhong.

The most important thing is not this.

It was the annihilation of Zhang Suo, Zhang Wei and Yang Bai's entire army, which made him not only lose the two most dependent warriors, but also lost nearly half of the main force. Soldiers, Yang Bo's main force, are his indispensable forces.

Now, he can be said to be seriously injured.

"A bumper harvest? I don't expect a bumper harvest in Hanzhong anymore!"

Zhang Lu raised his head and stared into the distance: "I only hope that my preparations and plans over the past few years will not be wasted, and the foundation of the way of heavenly masters will not be lost in my hands!"

In these years, he has done a lot for the rise of Tianshi Dao.

He started practicing martial arts every day before dawn, all year round, without interruption.

He bowed his head and recognized Liu Yan as his father.

Send troops to conquer Hanzhong, crusade against Su Gu, count Zhang Xiu...

All of this is for the purpose of reviving the future of the Heavenly Master.

But since the news of Xicheng came back, he seemed to have been hit head-on, almost knocking him down to the [-]th floor of hell, and his energy and spirit became completely devastated.

"Master Master, we haven't lost yet!"

Yan Pu thought for a while, he wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it, and finally he whispered: "Nanzheng is still in our hands, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

Although Hanzhong is big, the city of Nanzheng is already half of the country.

As long as Nanzheng is still there, they are not considered a loser.

"Is there any chance of turning defeat into victory?"

Zhang Lu was questioning, not only Yan Pu, but also himself.

The repeated blows have suppressed his self-confidence.

"Have!"

Yan Pu said firmly: "Master Shijun, although the Mu army is fierce, they also suffered heavy losses in order to conquer Shangyong and Xicheng. The entire army of Shangyong soldiers was wiped out. It is impossible for them not to pay the price. My lord, you know Yang Bai's ability best. How could it be so simple to eat him? Although this battle was a surprise attack because they sent troops out of Berkshire, I heard that Yang Bai's counterattack was almost Just behead Mulongtu under his horse, and the news from the west city that Mulongtu is still lying on the sick bed to recover, is enough to show that their injuries are also heavy!"

"Yang Bai is a mighty general, but it's a pity that in the end he almost missed that little thief from the Mu Clan!"

Zhang Lu said: "If he beheaded, what trouble will I have?"

"Master Shijun, the matter has come to this, it is useless to talk!"

Yan Pu said: "The next thing we should face is much easier. I guess it's time for Mu Jun to rest!"

"Before we guessed that the Mu army would not attack in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, so that Yang Bai would be isolated and helpless, that would cause him to die in the battle of the West City, and that would cause us to lose our check and balance on the entire eastern part of Hanzhong!"

Zhang Lu shook his head: "The little thief of the Mu family is not simple, we can't speculate on this person according to common sense!"

"I think he will attack again!"

In the lost west city, he suddenly realized that Mu Jing is not a person who can be speculated by common sense, and dared to march brazenly in the cold winter and lunar months, which made him confident. He must take over this failure and re-guess Mu Jing's character and thoughts .

"No!"

Yan Pu disagreed, and he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the Mu army attacked the west city because they had already made a plan. With Yang Bai's force, there is absolutely no problem in guarding the west city. There was nothing he could do about it. If it weren't for the fact that the Mujun had already arranged for a troop to pass through Berkshire and breathed the West City Gate, they would not be able to break through the West City anyway. But this move can only be used once. Next, he will face It is our Nanzheng!"

"Nanzheng City is the city with the highest wall and the strongest defense in Hanzhong. In addition, we still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding it. If their herdsmen dare to attack in this weather, they will surely seek their own death!"

"So they will definitely stop and rest. At least, they will not send troops to our Nanzheng until they have consolidated the city they have gained!"

"We still have time!"

Yan Pu said so much, this sentence is the root, they still have time to deal with it.

"But even if it's delayed until next year's spring!" Zhang Lu said gloomyly, "Will Liu Yan definitely send troops to help?"

"Liu Yan may not send troops to help!"

Yan Pu said: "But we can call in reinforcements!"

"Reinforcement?"

Zhang Lu raised his head, his gaze wandering, and he asked, "Where did the reinforcements come from?"

"Master Shijun, my land in Hanzhong is not closely adjacent to Bashu, sir, don't forget, no matter whether it is our north or my west, there are many soldiers and horses stationed!"

Yan Pu said quietly.

"Is it the court of Chang'an?" Zhang Lu frowned, "Or do you want me to surrender to the Xiliang army?"

"It's not about surrendering to the Xiliang Army!"

Yan Pu said: "Now the Chang'an court is the only one in the world. It is the orthodox Han Dynasty. The lord is not a traitor. If the court can send troops to drive away the bandits for us, we will surrender to the court. Why not!"

He thought for a while, and then said: "And sir, don't forget that the Mu family and the Xiliang Dong family have a mortal enmity. Back then, the Mu family was burned in the capital by Grand Master Dong. For the Mu family's little thief , that was the revenge of killing his father, and later the Mu Clan’s little thief forced his way out of Guanzhong, and it happened to be the Xiliang army who chased him fiercely, I think the Xiliang army will not let this serious trouble go!"

The enmity between the Mu family and Dong Taishi, the most powerful minister in the current Chang'an court, is not a secret. The whole world knows that it involves the change of court power, and the details of the process cannot be finished for three days and three nights.

But it is undeniable that the pastoral party, which once dominated the world, has fallen into the hands of Dong Zhuo.

For Mu Jing, Dong Zhuo is the murderer of his father and his enemy.

For Dong Zhuo, forcibly killing Mujing in Guanzhong is a serious problem.

Ever since Xicheng was captured, Hanzhong has been in dire straits. Yan Pu, as Zhang Lu's number one adviser, has racked his brains to consider countermeasures these days.

Mu Jing is that little bear, so...

Dong Zhuo is that tiger.

"Submit to the imperial court?" Zhang Lu muttered to himself, "It seems to be all right!"

He is not aiming at the territory, one side of the princes is not what he wants, but he has no choice but to develop his own believers in order to seize the place of Hanzhong. In his heart, he cares more about the inheritance of the celestial master's way.

If submitting to the imperial court allows him to develop the way of heavenly masters, he doesn't mind giving up Hanzhong.

"My lord, if Liu Yizhou wins the imperial court soldiers and horses going south, will he just sit idly by?" Yan Pu saw that Zhang Lu was a little moved, and immediately added fire to him: "As long as their soldiers and horses are all After entering Hanzhong, I am afraid that no one will tolerate anyone, and then they will fight each other to the death, and the one who sits in Hanzhong in the end will still be ours?"

"well said!"

Zhang Lu suddenly thought of the beautiful scene, and shouted: "The little thief Mu has so many enemies, why should we fight him to the end, let the court fight him to the death, and we can just reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

He thought for a while and looked at Yan Pu: "So, you go to Chang'an yourself, take my name as a lesson, and submit to the imperial court in my name, and ask the imperial court to send troops to wipe out the rebels!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Yan Pu bowed his hands and accepted the order.
