Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 586 Cui Zhouping

However, after Zhang Liao received Jia Xu's reinforcements, he quickly mobilized soldiers and horses to station at various intersections, controlling all traffic and important checkpoints in Hanzhong, and then came to Hanzhong City to meet Hanzhong King Zhang Lu.

"It's been a long time since the King of Hanzhong, and I'm here today because I have good news to tell the King of Hanzhong." Seeing Zhang Lu, Zhang Liao laughed, and then said.

"Huh, since you came to Hanzhong, among the news I've heard, I haven't heard any good news. You don't want to tell me that your reinforcements are in place, and you can send troops to kill with me. Liu Zhang, take revenge on me for killing my mother, right?" Seeing Zhang Liao coming, Zhang Lu was furious. He thought that surrendering to Lu Bu would at least kill Liu Zhang and avenge his mother, but since Zhang Liao came to Hanzhong, Yizhi plotted his influence in Hanzhong, but never wanted to avenge himself. Today, Zhang Lu no longer has any illusions about Zhang Liao, and just said sarcastically.

"What is the King of Hanzhong talking about? The affairs of the King of Hanzhong are the affairs of my Zhang Liao. The King of Hanzhong wants to take revenge, and I, Zhang Liao, am always in a hurry for the King of Hanzhong. It's just that the time is not ripe. I, Zhang Liao, have no way out." Regarding Zhang Lu's dissatisfaction, Zhang Liao didn't say much, just sighed, and then said: "Although I can't help you with the matter of the King of Hanzhong, I have already reported the matter to the Regent King. I hope that the King of Hanzhong will go to Luoyang to discuss this matter in person, if the King of Hanzhong can convince the Regent, isn’t it easy to attack Yizhou to avenge you for the King of Hanzhong?”

"Hahaha, okay, the one who is going to come is finally here. Not long after I handed over the power in Hanzhong to you, you already think that I am in the way, and you want to drive me away?" Regarding Zhang Liao's remarks, Zhang Lu He just laughed, now that Zhang Liao has many soldiers and generals, it is already very difficult for Zhang Lu to regain power in Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu is extremely dissatisfied in his heart, feeling that he has really suffered a big loss this time.

"My lord, General Zhang Liao also has good intentions. My lord, I'd better not refuse. The regent king has contributed to the good fortune, and I think he will definitely decide for the lord." Seeing that Zhang Lu's mood was a bit wrong, Yan Pu beside him said.

"At this point, do I still have a choice?" Seeing Yan Pu come out to speak, Zhang Lu sighed again. Although Zhang Liao was powerful, Zhang Lu was a local snake after all. As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. Lu Ruan wanted to gather all the strength in his hands to kill Zhang Liao by mistake, but it may not be impossible, but Yan Pu's words completely put an end to all Zhang Lu's hopes.At this time, Yan Pu had already spoken to Zhang Liao, which showed that Zhang Lu's soldiers and horses might not all be willing to follow Zhang Lu, Zhang Liao, or even Lu Bu as enemies. It is too difficult.

"Hmph, brother Hanzhong is where my Zhang family's foundation is, how can I give up so easily." Just at this moment, a sound of saturation came, and a general wearing a battle armor and holding a long knife walked in majestically. The person Zhang Liao recognized at a glance, it was none other than Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei.It turned out that Zhang Wei had been replaced from Yangping Pass since the arrival of Zhang Liao's reinforcements. At this time, he heard that Zhang Liao was coming to threaten Zhang Lu, so he came here in armor.

"My dear brother, what are you doing, why don't you step back quickly." Seeing Zhang Wei rushing in dressed like this, and speaking like this, Zhang Lu instantly understood Zhang Wei's intention, and said immediately.Although Zhang Lu was a little scornful of Zhang Liao, and his words were a little rude, but Zhang Lu just took the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction, but he didn't really intend to turn against Zhang Liao. He must face Zhang Liao at this time, Zhang Lu There is no longer any advantage, and there is really no need to fight each other, otherwise it will be a dead end. Zhang Lu has been in the officialdom for so long, and the way of nature has lost his glory at this time.

"My brother is the lord of Hanzhong. Now that Zhang Liao is bullying me, if my brother continues to be patient, won't it make others laugh at me that there is no one in Hanzhong?" Although he heard Zhang Lu's dissuasion, since Zhang Wei came, he had already done it. Mentally prepared, naturally will not give up easily.

"Come here." Zhang Wei shouted violently and waved his hand towards the door. Immediately, a group of soldiers rushed in, keeping Zhang Liao and others in the middle. At the same time, there was a burst of sound outside the door. There was an uproar, apparently some armored soldiers had surrounded the soldiers and horses brought by Zhang Liao.

"Hmph, King of Hanzhong, is this how you treat guests?" Seeing such a scene, Zhang Liao just snorted coldly and asked Zhang Lu who was sitting in the hall.

"Second brother, what are you doing? Do you know what kind of disaster you will bring to Hanzhong?" Seeing such a situation, Zhang Lu's face has changed, and he looks at his younger brother Zhang Wei in disbelief. .

On the other side, when Yan Pu saw this scene, he couldn't help but took two steps back and wanted to leave the place of right and wrong.

"Yan Pu, you should stay here." Seeing that Yan Pu wanted to slip away, Zhang Wei sneered, and soldiers immediately surrounded Yan Pu.At this time, Zhang Wei turned to Zhang Lu with a slight smile and said, "Today I have arranged everything. As long as we kill Zhang Liao, Hanzhong will still be my brother's Hanzhong."

"Brother, do you know that you are playing with fire, so what if we kill Zhang Liao? Have you forgotten how many soldiers and horses of Lu Bu are outside the city?" Seeing such a scene, Zhang Lu said in disbelief .

"Brother, you are trying to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. As long as Zhang Liao dies, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are outside, it's just writing about headless chickens. They are no match for our brothers. What's more, even if our brothers are defeated, So what, I've already found a scapegoat." While speaking, Zhang Wei turned and looked at Yan Pu beside him.

"General Zhang Wei, what do you mean? I am loyal to the King of Hanzhong." Seeing Zhang Wei's eyes sweeping towards him, Yan Pu was startled and said hastily.

"Hehe, I naturally know that you are loyal to my brother. Now is the time for you to show your loyalty to my brother. Come and pull out the accessories on your waist and kill Zhang Liao." Hearing Yan Pu's words, Zhang Wei didn't have any thoughts. Instead, he took a step forward, came to Yan Pu's side, and said coldly.

"This? General Zhang Wei, with careful planning, he can capture Zhang Liao in one fell swoop. Naturally, the general should do it." Hearing that Zhang Wei wants to kill Zhang Liao by himself, Yan Pu has no such guts, and hastily said submissively.

"Hahaha" Seeing Yan Pu like this, Zhang Wei didn't bother to talk to him, and turned to look at Zhang Liao beside him.He opened his mouth and said, "General Zhang Liao, now that you have fallen into my hands, do you have any last words to say?"

"Last words?" Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Zhang Liao made a fuss, and then said: "Zhang Liao has indeed heard about the general's intelligence, but today's matter is not something that you can do, I wonder if you can say it. Find out the expert behind you, and let me Zhang Liao see a thing or two, I wonder how?" It turned out that Zhang Liao had heard about Zhang Wei's character and ability a long time ago, but Zhang Wei's performance today, whether it was resourcefulness or courage, was It was beyond Zhang Liao's cognition, so Zhang Liao concluded that there must be an expert behind Zhang Wei, and it would be a pity if he couldn't meet this expert.

"Hahaha, General Zhang Liao really deserves his reputation." As soon as Zhang Liao finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter from outside the door, and then a middle-aged scribe stepped in.

"May I ask who is Mr., and why did you come to Hanzhong to spoil my big business?" Seeing the person coming, Zhang Liao cupped his hands slightly and asked.

"Hey, you would never have guessed that this is Cui Jun, Cui Zhouping, the son of the former Taiwei Cui Lie." Hearing Zhang Liao's question, before Cui Jun could answer, Zhang Wei couldn't help but already Open your mouth and say.

"Cui Zhouping? I didn't expect there to be such a powerful person like Mr. living in seclusion in Hanzhong. Zhang Liao is ignorant." Zhang Liao obviously didn't have much impression of Cui Jun, but he had followed Lu Bu for many years and saw that Lu Bu was very familiar with many scholars. It was because of the extra respect, Zhang Liao naturally got into this habit, so he said politely.

"Hehe, General Zhang Liao is also a famous general in the world, but Cui Zhouping has heard of the general's name a long time ago. It's just that the general doesn't know people well. The general has courage and strategy. If he can serve the Ming Lord, he will naturally have a bright future. Unfortunately, the general I served Lv Bu and other people who have harmed the country and the people, so that today's disaster, if the general can repent, I am willing to intercede with the King of Hanzhong, so that the general can be spared from worrying about his life." At this time, Cui Jun chuckled, and then turned to Zhang Liao in the same way. He arched his hands and said.

"Hehe, so that's the case, but I don't know who Mister is working for, and who is the wise master that Mister said?" Seeing that Cui Jun finally showed his fox's tail, Zhang Liao spoke again.

"This matter is not a secret in the first place. Since the general wants to know, it doesn't hurt to tell the general about it." Cui Jun started talking to Zhang Liao. It turned out that Cui Jun had a relationship with Zhuge Liang, Shan Fu and others. In the past, after Zhuge Liang and Shan Fu followed Liu Bei, in order to expand Liu Bei's power, they naturally wanted to find people like Cui Jun, but Cui Jun was self-confident and knew that Zhang Liao was in Hanzhong, so he didn't go directly to Xinye to find Zhuge Liang and the others. , Instead, he came to Hanzhong, wanting to spoil Zhang Liao's affairs in Hanzhong, so as to present a meeting gift for Liu Bei, so today's scene happened.

"Hahaha, so it turns out that the master Mr. Cui said is actually Liu Bei." Hearing Cui Jun's words, Zhang Liao burst out laughing.However, his brows were frowned. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei today has such strength, which can affect his control over Hanzhong. It seems that he should pay more attention to Liu Bei in the future.
