The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 523 I would rather be Wen Hou's lackey than serve as Liu Yan's official

In mid-May, Lu Bu led his army back to Chang'an.

Before he left, he left Hua Xiong in Hanzhong. It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhang Lu, but that Zhang Lu's generals were so weak that he couldn't even take out anyone who could control the situation.

In addition, Lu Bu also played a lot of dark chess in Hanzhong to prevent Zhang Lu from stealing and arrogating himself.

As Xi Ce said in the past, you have to be suspicious when you employ people, and you have to use people who are suspicious.

Zhao Song stayed in Hanzhong to recuperate. He was severely wounded that day, and his tendons were injured everywhere. It would be difficult for him to recover within five or six months.

After Lu Bu let him recover, he came to Chang'an to pay his respects.

Zhang Lu took the county officials, big and small, and stood outside the city gate, watching Lu Bu go away.

Looking at the back that was gradually disappearing from sight, Zhang Lu's eyes were solemn and cautious like never before.

During this period, Zhang Lu asked his mother to charm Lu Bu, but the result was naturally dismal.

His mother is in her early forties this year, she is good at taking care of herself, she has a small face, she looks only about [-], and she has a mature woman's coquettish attitude all over her body, which makes people feel itchy.

Even that old bastard Liu Yan couldn't hold back, and became the guest of his mother, but unexpectedly lost his hand at Lu Bu.

Apart from his superficial title of general, Zhang Lu is still a celestial master of Wudoumi Taoism, and he calls himself a teacher.Those who come to learn Taoism are called "ghost soldiers" at the beginning, and they are called "jiujiu" after they have believed in the way.

This branch of Taoism is quite influential in Sichuan and Sichuan.

His mother is also a ghost, and travels to and from Liu Yan's house in Yizhou.Zhang Lu gained trust through his mother's relationship with Liu Yan and took up an important position.

Now that he is under Lu Bu's command, he naturally has the intention of repeating the old tricks, trying to trick Lu Bu into becoming a follower of the Wudoumi Taoism, so that he can be at his mercy.

As a result, I miscalculated.

A few days after Lu Bu left with his army, Liu Yan, Mu of Yizhou, sent an envoy.

The envoy's name is Zhang Su, and he looks stalwart. He is a descendant of the Zhang family of the Dashi family in Yizhou.

He brought a letter from Liu Yan, saying that Liu Yan not only did not blame him for killing Zhang Xiu, but also asked him to be the governor of Guanghan County, and proclaimed him to the court as the general of Zhennan.

Before doing it differently, Zhang Lu would definitely be grinning from ear to ear.

But now, he is not a fool, he will not believe such words to coax children.

He didn't turn back when he opened his bow. Even if he went back and took the position of Guanghan County Sheriff, Liu Yan would try his best to charge him with crimes and put him in jail.

Zhang Lu couldn't understand what kind of person Liu Yan was. He was a narrow-minded person and a complete hypocrite.

Thinking this way in his heart, Zhang Lu's face was still very polite, after all, there was no need to tear up his face with Liu Yan.In the future, we will part ways, you will walk your sunny path, and I will cross my single-plank bridge.

"Bie Zhang, I also miss Mr. Liu Shijun. However, now that he is appointed by the court to act as the acting governor of Hanzhong, Lu dare not neglect in the slightest. In addition, he is bound up with official duties, and he really cannot get away. Please go back and tell me the truth Mr. Liu, after Zhang has finished handling the affairs of the county, he will definitely go back and thank you face to face."

Zhang Lu declined Zhang Su politely, and did not accept the position of Guanghan prefect.

Zhang Su suddenly became angry. He could not see Zhang Lu, a villain who relied on a woman for his position, let alone that woman was his mother.

He stood there, and said contemptuously: "General Zhang, do you think that with Lu Bu as the backing, you can sit firmly in Hanzhong? In fact, in his eyes, you are just a dog that can be abandoned at any time. How can you be like Liu Shijun?" Generous and loving, treat you well..."

"Will you be nice to me?"

Zhang Lu's eyes were gloomy, Jie Jie laughed: "Then please go back and tell Liu Yan, I, Zhang Lu...

I would rather be Wen Hou's running dog than be a high-ranking official for him! "

"you!"

With such a straightforward answer, Zhang Su was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Lu, trembling and speechless.

"Come on, see off."

Zhang Lu yelled, and the soldiers outside the door immediately walked in and dragged Zhang Su out forcibly.

"Zhuzi! Son! A jackal who doesn't know how to repay a favor!"

Zhang Su, who was dragged out by the erection, cursed loudly, his voice gradually getting quieter as his body moved away.

…………

Yizhou, State Shepherd's Mansion.

The first thing Zhang Su did after he came back was to report Zhang Lu's various crimes to Liu Yan.

"Did Zhang Lu really say that?"

Liu Yan, who was dressed in a purple silk dress, was sitting in the high hall, with a hint of sinister on his usually kind face, obviously he was trying to suppress the anger in his heart at the moment.

Zhang Su nodded, then said it again emphatically, and at the end he did not forget to add: "He said that he would rather be Lu Bu's dog than be your high-ranking official."

Bang!

The porcelain cup in Liu Yan's hand fell to the ground angrily, and exploded into countless tiny pieces of porcelain, and the water in the cup flowed all over the floor.

"Beast! Beast!"

Liu Yan's aging face was flushed, and he was so angry that he couldn't help twitching his body, cursing: "I was really blind back then, even if I had a dog, I knew how to be obedient to the master! Zhang Lu, You are worse than a dog!"

Cough cough...cough cough...

Seeing that Liu Yan was in a hurry, all the counselors in the hall tried to persuade him: "My lord, take care of your health! Don't get angry because of a villain."

At this time, Liu Yan heard these things, waved his hands and roared angrily: "Send troops, send troops immediately, I will kill this beast with my own hands!"

As soon as the words came out, a person stood up in the hall and shouted: "No, my lord, Yizhou has finally settled down, and the war must not be started lightly. What's more, Zhang Lu has absorbed the troops of Hanzhong, and now he is dead. It is because of the great increase in strength, and the fact that they are familiar with the various fortresses of Daba Mountain, and they have sent heavy troops to guard them, it will be even more difficult to forcefully capture Hanzhong!"

"My lord, what Yang Gongcao said is right. Lu Bu's move is to let you and Zhang Lu fight each other, so that he can reap the benefits of being a fisherman. Please think twice!" Another person got up and said.

"Others are afraid of Lu Bu, but I am not!" Liu Yanmu showed a fierce look.

The counselors had no choice but to persuade: "My lord, your three sons are all officials in the imperial court now. The backer behind Zhang Lu is Lu Bu. If you attack Hanzhong rashly, if Lu Bu is angered, he will act insanely." What happened, the lives of the three sons are in danger!"

When mentioning his son, Liu Yan's expression froze for a moment.

He returned to his seat and sat down. After the fire, his face looked quite tired, and he asked everyone: "Then what do you think should be done?"

After some calculations, the counselors under his command gave a suggestion: "It's better to say that you are sick for the time being, and let the court send the three sons to Yizhou, saying that it is to see you for the last time. Then secretly cultivate forces, expand the army, and attack Hanzhong. Take it slowly."

Even though Liu Yan was unwilling to let Zhang Lu sit alone in Hanzhong, he could only endure it temporarily at this time.
