The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 479
There is Zhangjiao in the East, and Zhangxiu in Hanzhong.

Taoism at the end of the Han Dynasty, the most famous among the various schools is Zhang Jiao’s Taiping Taoism and Zhang Xiu’s Wu Dou Rice Taoism. Both of them believe in Lao Tzu’s purpose of doing nothing, and relieve the suffering of the world by giving to the people, saving the people, and curing personal diseases. Take it as your own responsibility to establish a sect and recruit believers.Speaking of which, fundamentally speaking, the morality of these two families is noble, selfless, and pure.

But the problem is that after the evolution of the world and the change of the mentality of the founders, these good religions, which are deeply loved by the people, have evolved into warlord groups, and their inner nature has undergone earth-shaking changes. , raised the uprising banner of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand", and then Zhang Lu, who inherited the leader of Wudoumi, recruited believers with the doctrine, turned the soldiers into ghost soldiers, separated Dongchuan, and became independent.

But no matter how the mentality of the high-ranking people changes, the mentality of the ordinary congregation has not changed from the beginning to the end. They still uphold the purest and kindest heart, believe in Lao Zhuang, believe in good deeds, and respect the Confucianism in their hearts. Belief.

The teaching of Wu Dou Rice Sect claims that Lu may be their master, but he is not a god. The Taoist ancestor most revered by Wu Dou Rice Sect is their foundation of faith. The Mijiao can be everywhere, the teachings are everywhere, and the dogma is everywhere, it doesn't matter who is the leader!
What is really questionable is the attitude of those in power towards their religion.

In the name of General Sima, Yuan Shang promised to respect their believers in front of the three armies, and would help them spread their teachings and expand their branches as an official. The ending of Taipingdao, which is classified as a cult, is absolutely different!

The ending of Taipingdao is tragic and bleak. The Wudoumi Church will not decline like the Taiping Sect. This is a fundamental factor why the people of Dongchuan dare not betray Zhang Lu.

But judging from the current situation, Yuan Shang, as a Confucian scholar and a foreigner, still respects Taoist ancestors and believes in Lao Zhuang. And support, from this point of view, the future of Wu Dou Mijiao is definitely bright!

Now that he has a bright future, can save his life and continue to have faith, who will accompany Zhang Lu to be buried here?Zhang Lu is the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect, but it does not mean that the Five Dou Rice Sect belongs to him. On the contrary, he is only the third generation leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect. It will never be able to represent Wu Dou Mijiao itself.

Finally, under the persecution and temptation of Yuan Shang's persuasion and the majesty of the Taoist statue, these Hanzhong soldiers and horses with faith and desire to win, followed the soldiers of the ethnic minorities, and walked towards Yuan Jun's camp in twos and threes.

Seeing this general trend, Zhang Lu, like the other three ethnic minority leaders, was in a panic, but he did not commit any murder.

After all, he is not a martial artist, but a leader. In terms of cultural level and quality, he is obviously higher than Bazhou Yiwang and others.

But Zhang Lu looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and drank in grief and indignation.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the general trend is gone!"

A smile appeared on Yuan Shang's handsome face. He quietly looked at Zhang Lu, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue, Du Wei and other leaders in the opposite formation and smiled, then waved his hands slightly.

"Bosses, you've already become bare commanders. What's the point of being independent? Yuan Mou's big tent outside Ziwu Valley has already set up water and wine to cleanse the dust for them, and invite them to show their face , come here together?"

"........."

****************************
In the Battle of Meridian Valley, Yuan Shang bribed Yang Song with a lot of money according to Zhong Yao's plan, and tricked Zhang Lu and the leaders of Bazhou ethnic minorities into sending troops to besiege them at one stroke. Surrender.

Bazhou surrendered 1 soldiers, Hanzhong ghost soldiers surrendered 4, plus the Luoyang Tianzi Army who surrendered [-], there are almost [-] soldiers.

In this way, coupled with the [-] Bingzhou Army brought by Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang currently has [-] soldiers under his command.

The new force of 7 people, although not as many as Yan Xing, Song Jian, and the Qiang people, is still comparable!
But before fighting Yan Xing and others, there is one more important thing to do!
It is the question of how to integrate this force and the supply of food and grass.

Since Zhong Yao arrived in Guanzhong with Yuan Shang, he used his old-fashioned experience and knowledge of the surrounding areas of Guanzhong to make a plan to help Yuan Shang expand his army. Now the Guanzhong army that Yuan Shang wants to build has begun to take shape. Yuan Shang still had to ask him for advice on the use of this army for himself.

Of course, since Zhong Yao dared to help Yuan Shang set up the Ziwu Valley plan to expand his troops, he naturally had a way to help him solve follow-up problems.

In the commander's tent, all the generals went to inspect the new army, only Yuan Shang and Zhong Yao sat down to discuss the handling of the new army.

"Yuan Gong, the increase from 4 troops to [-] seems to be rapid, but after all, they are all descended troops. Both their combat power and fighting spirit are quite low. I am afraid that they will not be able to fight against Yan Xing and Song Jian... and out of thin air. With an increase of [-] people, I am afraid that our department’s food and grass will be unsustainable, and we should find a way to solve these things immediately, otherwise there will be worries in the future.”

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "All the generals went to inspect and deploy recruits, and Yuan only left Zhong Pushe behind because of these two things. To be honest, how to improve the fighting spirit and morale of this new army and bring them back to the army?" For my own use, Yuan has already figured out a solution, but I have not solved the problem of insufficient food and grass supply, so I ask Zhong Pushe to help me with an idea."

Zhong Yao stroked his beard, nodded with a smile and said: "This old man is the opposite of Yuan Gonggong. This old man has figured out how to solve the problem of food and grass, but he has no way to improve the morale of the new army. From this point of view, you and I just complement each other!"

Yuan Shang revealed a relieved smile when he heard this.

"Learn from each other's strengths, and learn from each other. I don't know how Zhong Pushe plans to solve the problem of food and grass?"

Zhong Yao's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he said: "Now that Zhang Lu and several leaders of Bazhou are in our hands, the food and grass will naturally have to come from the treasury in Hanzhong. In recent years, Yongliang has been repeatedly attacked During the chaos, the people in Guanzhong left their homeland and moved to Hanzhong to avoid the disaster of war. Wouldn't it be a pity if this food and grass didn't come from them?"

Yuan Shanghe is a good person, and he can understand a little bit. Hearing the words, he suddenly said: "What Zhong Pushe means is to let Zhang Lu and the others write books in Hanzhong and Bazhou, and order the guards of Hanzhong to send food and grass?"

Zhong Yao nodded and said with a smile, "Not bad."

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes and said, "After Zhang Lu left, who is the guard in Hanzhong now?"

Zhong Yao said with a smile: "As far as I know, if a foreign general stays behind, it is not ruled out that he wants to harm his master and lead Hanzhong himself, but the people who stayed in Nanzheng for Zhang Lu are his eldest son Zhang Fu and his second son Zhang Fu. His son Zhang Guang, they are all Zhang Lu's own sons, how can they just watch their father die at the hands of each other? It must be inevitable!"

Yuan Shang nodded suddenly when he heard the words, and suddenly said: "If that Zhang Fu, Zhang Guang and Zhang Guang intend to let his father die outside, and take Hanzhong by themselves?"

Zhong Yao shook his head and said, "It's impossible. Hanzhong governs the army with religion. Such behavior is similar to patricide. How can the officials and people in Hanzhong be compatible? Besides, the affairs of Nanzheng are controlled by the seven sons of Zhang Lu, and the two daughters of the church are respected." , but if one person makes a change, the rest of the children will definitely be accused? Why worry about asking for food? As for the Yi people in Bazhou, they follow the trend and follow the trend. If Hanzhong sends food, they will definitely not refuse."

Yuan Shang was overjoyed when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Okay, according to Zhong Pu's instructions, I ordered Zhang Lu to write a letter from home and send it back to Hanzhong, urging his children to deliver food and grass...Come here, quickly send Zhang Tianshi and several leaders of Bazhou Please come to Shuai Zhang."

"promise!"

In this way, when I was young, I saw Zhang Lu, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue, and Du Wei walking into the tent with shame, and then, surrounded by the guards of the soldiers, they sat at the tables on both sides of the tent, trembling. Waiting for the arrangement of fate.

However, Yuan Shang's attitude was obviously much gentler than they imagined.

"How many, have you eaten?"

The four of them were taken aback for a moment, then nodded together.

"Are you full?"

The four nodded together again.

"Okay, let's do something when we're full."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shang clapped his hands and ordered four copies of ink and bamboo slips to be placed on the table in front of the four of them. The four of them looked at each other for no reason.

Yuan Shang smiled at the four of them and said, "Master Zhang, the three leaders, it's lonely living in my Yuan Jun camp? Are you feeling homesick?"

Zhang Lu and the others were taken aback when they heard the words, and then nodded eagerly like puppets.

Yuan Shang smiled when he heard the words: "You are homesick, and Yuan is not such an unreasonable person. After thinking about it, I thought of a solution for you to solve the pain of lovesickness."

Du Sui, the leader of the ethnic minority, thought about it for a while, and suddenly his face showed joy, and he said, "Doesn't General Yuan want to let us go back?"

Yuan Shang's smile remained unchanged, still like a spring breeze.

"King Du, do you think you are dreaming?"

Du Su's smiling face suddenly froze.

Yuan Shang pointed to the books, swords and brushes in front of the four of them, and said: "Although I can't meet with my family and share the pain of lovesickness, I can use it to communicate... Feihong is very fashionable, do you want it?" Try it?"

When he was young, Puhu, the king of Yi with seven surnames, sniffled and asked Yuan Shangdao: "General Yuan, what do you mean?"

Yuan Shang knocked on the table with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's nothing interesting, Yuan is just a good intention. You will live in my Yuan Jun Dazhai for a long time in the future, and you should write a letter to your family for a long time. Inform your relatives so that they know that you are safe and sound! If not, if the family thinks that you were arrested for traveling with Dong Wan, wouldn't there be a misunderstanding?"

When everyone heard that you looked at me and I looked at you, they all sighed together.

Forget it, write a family letter and write a family letter, always let the relatives in the family think about it, know that they are still alive, don't think that they all died in the army.

Thinking of this, the three leaders of Bazhou were relieved. They picked up their pens, clutched their ink, rolled their eyes, and thought about what to write to their families.

Among the four, Yuan Yue, Pu Hu, and Du Wei are all the leaders of the ethnic minorities in Bazhou. Although they lead the clan, they have little knowledge. Only Zhang Lu is a prince of one party. He has been in Hanzhong for nearly 30 years, and he is well-informed.

What's more, he had heard about Yuan Shang's tactics and methods for a long time, so he asked himself to write a letter to his family for no reason?This is definitely not Yuan Shang's style!Just looking at his ability to move out the statue of Lao Tzu in front of the two armies, you can tell that he is extraordinary. How could he suddenly do such a thing with good intentions?
"Wuliang Tianzun! The Great General Sima invited us here, isn't it just as simple as asking us to write a letter from home? If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't want to beat around the bush."

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled.

"It has to be Zhang Tianshi Bingxue who is smart, who can see through a little bit, and is definitely not an ordinary idiot!"

Zhang Lu snorted: "Wuliang Tianzun, if you are not an ordinary idiot, then you are also an idiot... Yuan Gong, don't take advantage of this celestial master, the bright and the dark, let's see what happened, what is hidden!"

Yuan Shang weighed a row of desks and said: "Okay! Refreshing! Then I will say it! To be honest, it is not a big deal, but the four of you will be staying in my Yuan camp from now on. The sage said: 'When friends come from afar, it's not enough to eat'..."

Zhang Lu said gloomyly: "The words of a sage have never said such rough words."

Yuan Shang flicked the dust off his body, and said: "It's not rough, it's all the same thing, how many people live here, should I calculate the cost of accommodation, food, and personnel settlement? Although Yuan has long admired everyone , but we don’t seem to be familiar enough to ask me to help you advance money... Of course, don’t get me wrong, Yuan has no intention of not being welcome, it’s just that Yan Xing is currently rebelling and the situation in Guanzhong is tense. It is the family of the fifth generation and third prince, but there is no food left! I hope you can understand."

Zhang Lu's face became darker and darker: "So?"

"So, the rations and alimony for the four of you have to be sent by your family members, and you are self-sufficient!"

Zhang Lu and the other four heard the words, you look at me, I look at you, and they all heaved a long sigh in the end.

At this time, I am trapped in enemy prison, what people say is what, and I wait for a few, so what can I do?

Zhang Lu took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said, "Tell me, how much do you want?"

Yuan Shangpin did the calculations, and said in a nutshell: "The average daily rations of the four, plus accommodation expenses, management fees, alimony, etc., and many other items, can be converted into calculations... the first batch of rations, Let’s count it as three thousand stones!”

Zhang Lu and his friends were stunned when they heard the words.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the four of us eat three thousand stone grains!? Return the first batch... You treat us like pigs!"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, waved his fingers and said: "Master Zhang, I misunderstood, who said you are pigs, you... can only be regarded as foodies similar to pigs at best."

Beside Zhang Lu, Yuan Yue stood up abruptly, and you said angrily, "It doesn't matter if the pigs are okay. The key question is, how can so much be used for four people's ration of three thousand shi?"

Yuan Shang smiled, shook his head in denial.

"The four misunderstood again, didn't they? Who said that the four of you were allowed to eat three thousand shi?"

After hearing this, the expressions of Zhang Lu and the others gradually eased.

"What I mean is, each of you eats three thousand shi, and the four of you add up to exactly 1 shi. I don't offer discounts or invoices. I wonder if the four of you pay the full amount or mortgage?"

"........."
