Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 772
Zhang Lu, courtesy name Gongqi, was born in Peiguofeng County (Feng County, Jiangsu Province).He first served as governor and Sima from Liu Yan, and once led troops to attack Hanzhong.After Liu Yan's death, Zhang Lu became self-reliant and educated the people with the "Five Dou Rice Religion".The Han Dynasty was unable to attack Zhang Lu, so he was appointed as the townsman Zhonglang General.In the 20th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu.Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao and became the general of Zhennan and the Marquis of Langzhong.Zhang Lu died the following year and was given the posthumous title Yuanhou.

This is Zhang Lu in history.

Such a person is not outstanding in politics or military affairs.But he has his unique position in thought. Thousands of years later, he was honored as one of the ancestors of Taoism and was greatly admired.The reason, of course, is because of the five buckets of rice religion.

Of course, Liu Xie, who has been in this time and space for seven years.One would not think that Zhang Lu would obediently surrender to the Han Dynasty based on such a little information in the history books, let alone think that this goal could be achieved by relying on Yang Song.The faces of historical figures in historical materials are always very vague and one-sided, and people always judge heroes by success or failure. From this impression of Zhang Lu, they probably think that Zhang Lu is a soy sauce character among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty.

But people often overlook that Zhang Lu actually has another side. In history, he once attacked and killed Zhang Xiu, who was also a teacher and Sima of another department with him.He defeated Liu Zhang's general Pang Xi and occupied Berkshire and Hanzhong.During the turmoil in Guanzhong, 30 households fled to Hanzhong, but he took them all in, and became famous all over the world.He occupied Ba and Han for [-] years. He established a democratic regime, the society was stable, and the Taoists lived and worked in peace and contentment. It almost became the "pure land" of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the West.

Such a person, saying that he is incompetent, is simply ridiculous.

Therefore, Liu Xie's acquisition of Yang Song can only achieve one purpose in a limited way: to allow Yang Song to establish a smooth communication channel between the Han Dynasty and Zhang Lu.

This approach is absolutely different from Liu Xie meeting Zhang Lu as the emperor of the Han Dynasty.If so, Liu Xie is intimidating, coercing, and a gangster and rascal who used the power of the Han Dynasty to bully Zhang Lu.But let Yang Song contact Zhang Lu first, and tell Zhang Lu the news, so that Zhang Lu can feel the respect of Zhang Lu from the Han Dynasty.

Different methods lead to different results: in the important period when the Eastern and Western Sichuans are likely to return to the embrace of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie did not want to cause the cooked duck to fly out of the pot because of impatience and wrong methods.

Therefore, these days, Liu Xie is still occupying the magpie's nest in Yang Song's mansion, and discusses with Xun Yu about Hanzhong's countermeasures when he rises up.The resettlement of the two thousand elite soldiers was also very simple. They were directly stationed in the Yishe in Hanzhong, fully integrated into the folk customs of Hanzhong, and summarized what they saw and heard to tell Liu Xie, so that Liu Xie could not go out of the house. Can know things in Hanzhong.

And the people in Hanzhong naturally gradually learned the news that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was here.Even if they don't care about the general situation of the world, they are aware that Hanzhong will undergo earth-shaking changes in the near future.However, at this time their state of mind is still very stable: after all, no matter how powerful the Han Dynasty is, there is only one emperor of the Han Dynasty.This time he entered Hanzhong first, which is equivalent to a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.If the soldiers of the Han Dynasty want to regain Hanzhong, they can't ignore the life and death of the emperor, right?
Therefore, the people in Guanzhong and the congregation are quite optimistic about their fate.But for the real parties, it is always silly and naive to only feel what the onlookers see and think.

At this time, the most worrying person in Hanzhong is not the emperor of the Han Dynasty at all, but their department teacher.

"The emperor is still sitting in your mansion? Do you still just talk about the Book of Songs and Five Books with Mr. Xun every day?" Although Zhang Lu was in the courtyard holding chess pieces, his face was sad and absent-minded: "Before you came here today, How is the emperor feeling?"

Yang Song pondered for a while, before he made a decision, it seemed that Zhang Lu's absent-mindedness also made him rack his brains.When replying to Zhang Lu's question, he was very straightforward: "Department Master, I think His Majesty came here just to have a detailed discussion with the Department Master. Your Majesty is not acting as the Son of Heaven, but please Only when I informed the department teacher, it shows that His Majesty has no malice towards Hanzhong."

Hearing this, Zhang Lu threw down the chess piece in his hand in a depressed mood, no longer interested in this chess game, and replied sadly: "I hope so..."

Zhang Lu was really depressed at this moment.This feeling of uneasiness is similar to a person who falls asleep at night, wakes up the next day, and suddenly finds a colorful tiger lying on his bed.Although the tiger behaved as well-behaved as a tabby cat, Zhang Lu couldn't help but feel chills running down his back just thinking about how powerful the tiger was.

In particular, he still has nothing to do with this fierce tiger.

Sending a large army to kill Liu Xie, will it be over once and for all?
This is a good way, but the problem is that Liu Xie didn't come alone, but brought two thousand Tiger Ben and Bai Mayi with these minions.Especially the two generals Zhao Yun and Xu Huang have long been famous all over the world.Once there is a mistake and Liu Xie escapes, Hanzhong will inevitably usher in a catastrophe.

Moreover, even if Liu Xie is killed, what's the use?
He, Zhang Luben, only had one place in Hanzhong, and he didn't have much ambition to become king.After killing the emperor of the Han Dynasty, what he got in exchange could only be a faster disaster-this would not benefit him personally or the people of Hanzhong.

Kidnapping Liu Hexie as a threat to negotiate with the Han Dynasty in exchange for some tangible benefits?

This seems like a good choice, but the problem is that Liu Xie himself is the one who counts the words in the Han Dynasty.He had already come to his house in person, Zhang Lu could only talk to Liu Xie if he had any conditions.That being the case, what's the point of kidnapping or not?
"It's a blessing or a curse, after all, we can't hide from it." Zhang Lu sighed again, knowing that he pretended to be an ostrich buried in the sand and turned a blind eye to everything.After feeling for a long time, he could only say to Yang Song: "Tomorrow, I will enter the mansion with you, and meet with His Majesty. It is a knife to stretch the head, and a knife to shrink the head. It is better to settle this matter earlier .”

"He is a teacher." Yang Song patted his flattery lightly, and his fat face smiled brighter than flowers: After all, to persuade Zhang Lu to negotiate with Liu Xie, he only needs to use his lips.But harvest, but can get a lot of rare treasures.Such a good deal, he really hoped to come back a few more times.

At this time, Liu and Xun Yu's plan for Hanzhong had also taken shape.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Lu is not a talented person. Even judging from his life experience, he is still very unfortunate. When he was very young, his father passed away, and only he and his mother were there. His mother looks like That's right, he also knows some spells, so Liu Yan, the prefect of Yizhou, loves him, and sometimes they even have fun in front of Zhang Lu."

"Zhang Lu just stayed in Sichuan without knowing why, and was ridiculed and looked down upon by the Liu family. In our sect, there was a man named Zhang Xiu who claimed to be an orthodox celestial master. Zhang Lu was useless, and he could gain a foothold only because of his mother's relationship. At that time, Zhang Lu was called out by heaven and earth, and he was in dire straits."

"I have had several conversations with Zhang Lu, and every time I talked about this matter, he told me several times that at that time he only wanted to die, but he couldn't, because he still had the way of a celestial master to pass on. In the end, he succeeded, he developed the Tao of Heavenly Master to an unprecedented peak, and he has ruled Hanzhong for nearly ten years!"

When Xun Yu talked about this, he couldn't help admiring Zhang Lu: "From this point of view, Zhang Lu's mind is extremely tough, and his heart can be shaken by extraordinary interests. If your majesty wants to make this person sincerely surrender, it will take a lot of money." Do some planning."

Hearing this, Liu Xie nodded once again convinced.Jin Yiwei had also investigated this information, but after Xun Yu narrated it, Liu Xie suddenly felt a vivid face of Zhang Lu.However, the more this is the case, the more confident he is in persuading Zhang Lu this time: "Mr. Xun, you mean that Zhang Lu regards the Five Dou Rice Religion as everything in his life? For this reason, he can give up everything?"

A trace of puzzlement appeared on Xun You's handsome face. After thinking for a while, he finally understood Liu Xie's meaning: "It must be the case. If Your Majesty wants to persuade Zhang Lu, he must start with the Five Dou Rice Sect. However, I don't seem to have I heard that His Majesty also knows the way to become an immortal..."

"I know a little bit..." In a good mood, Liu Xie was very immodest, and exposed his half-vealed nature: "I have loved studying since I was a child, and I often don't let go of the scrolls. The various schools of thought, the classics of poetry and Chuci, the three tombs and five classics... ...I have learned all this knowledge. As for the knowledge of Taoism, I also have a little bit of it."

The corners of Xun Yu's eyes twitched slightly unnaturally. These days, he was basically familiar with Liu Xie's character.However, he knew that Liu Xie was not as flashy and superficial as it seemed on the surface, so he had no choice but to reply: "I think Zhang Gongqi should come here in the next few days. At that time, how will His Majesty persuade Zhang Shishi? You can look forward to it.”

"Since that's the case, would Mr. Xun be willing to bet with me? If I persuade this Gongqi, would Mr. Xun be willing to take charge of my Shangshutai?"

Xun Yu smiled indifferently, waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have no such intentions for the time being. This plan is used on Yang Dezu, and it may be the right medicine. However, I have never liked that gambling technique..."

Liu Xie's attempts ended in failure, and he suddenly looked resentful: Sure enough, time-travel novels are all lies, so what kind of a gamble wins a big talent.These great talents are not firewood, can they make you so hot-headed?
It seems that I have traveled to a fake world of the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty...
