The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 683 Hanzhong
Chuping four years (193 years)
Hanzhong County, Nanzheng.

Zhang Lu is wearing a Qingjuan Taoist robe, a Taiqing fishtail crown on his head, and floating dust on his arms, sitting in the first seat.

"Book of the Later Han, Volume [-], Biography of Liu Yan, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, Biography [-]" records:
"Zhang Lu, a native of Pei, had a beautiful mother and a ghostly way. He came and went to the Yan family, so he served as Lu's governor and Sima. He and other Sima Zhang Xiu sent troops to kill Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, cut off Xiegu, and killed the envoy. Lu acquired Hanzhong. , so he killed Zhang Xiu again and merged with them."

As the leader of the way, Zhang Lu has the demeanor of the leader of the way.

His appearance is as handsome and personable as that of his parents.

"Bring the peace messenger."

A loud shout came into the palace from outside the palace.

Footsteps sounded, and a young Taoist priest wearing Huangjuan Huangjuan Taoist robe and a Zhuangzi scarf walked into the palace leisurely under the guidance of a Taoist priest wearing cassock.

Zhang Lu's eyes were slightly closed, and he still maintained a posture of concentration. He didn't make any other movements because the young Taoist entered the palace, and he didn't seem to sense that the young Taoist entered the palace.

The young Taoist was not as angry as Zhang Lu was for ignoring him, and his face did not fluctuate too much.

"Tian Zhong, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Taiping Road Department of Foreign Affairs, met Zhang Tianshi."

Tian Zhong's tone was polite and not overbearing.

But Tian Zhong didn't bow or bow his head, he just bowed his hands.

In the eyes of all Hanzhong generals and officials, this behavior became disrespectful in the palace.

Zhang Lu is the teacher (heavenly teacher) of the Five Dou of Rice Dao, with a high status, he is the master of the Five Dou of Rice Dao. Tian Zhong's appearance is clearly despising Zhang Lu and their entire Wu Dou of Rice Dao!
"presumptuous!"

A general in military uniform jumped up and angrily said.

"The officials of Taipingdao are as rude as you? I don't know the status? I don't know the age? I don't know the etiquette?!"

All the officials, sacrificial wine, and generals of Hanzhong County in the palace glared angrily.

"This ceremony is my Dao ceremony of peace."

"Could it be that in this world, only bowing your head and bowing to the ground is considered respect and courtesy?"

Tian Zhong's eyes didn't even stay on the bodies of the Hanzhong County generals offering wine in the hall.

"Could it be that you were also so arrogant when you met your great virtuous teacher of Taiping Dao?"

Hearing someone mention Xu An, Tian Zhong's eyes finally moved, and he turned his eyes to follow the reputation. The speaker was wearing a cassock and a hibiscus crown on his head. He was sitting on the right side, and he seemed to have a high status among the five buckets of rice.

Tian Zhong took another look at Zhang Lu who was sitting on top, and found that the two looked alike.

Tian Zhongxin understands, he has heard from Yinglangwei before that Zhang Lu has a younger brother named Zhang Wei, who is in charge of the military and is in charge of the military power of the entire Hanzhong County. "Zhitou Dajiu".

This man has a rather irritable personality and a mediocre military strategy. In the past, Liu Yan appointed Zhang Lu as the Governor Sima, and Zhang Xiu, the other Sima, led troops to attack Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong.

After Zhang Xiu killed Su Gu, Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu again and captured his soldiers.And cut off the Xiegu Road, and killed the imperial envoy under Liu Yan's instruction.

At that time Zhang Lu asked Zhang Wei to lead an army, but Zhang Wei almost revealed his intentions and almost missed the big deal.

But Zhang Wei is Zhang Lu's younger brother after all, even if he is a little useless, but he is trustworthy, so Zhang Lu still appointed Zhang Wei to an important position.

Tian Zhong was not in a hurry to argue with Zhang Wei, he took a step forward and looked around.

In the palace hall, there are many armored soldiers, one piece of cassock reveals Taoist rhyme, one piece of armor is dim and confused, and one piece of weapon blade is shining coldly. One soldier after another stands around the palace pavilion, glaring at him , without concealing his fierce killing intent.

On both sides of the hall, all the generals and school officials from Hanzhong County stared at him maliciously, and several of them stood up and reprimanded him angrily.

Ordinary people are stared at by so many soldiers and generals, no matter what, there will be a little fear in their hearts.

But Tian Zhong is an ordinary person?
The world is so big, the places he has been to, and the dangers he has encountered, how can this group of rural fathers who sit and watch the sky can imagine?

In the past when he discovered the yellow scarf in Wangwushan, he didn't know the enemy or friends, Tian Zhong only led a dozen people and dared to ask to see Guo Tai outside the camp.

Thousands of soldiers from Xihe County gathered in Puzi City, and Tian Zhong went deep into the camp alone, and persuaded all the generals and schools of Xihe County who had different ideas at that time.

Later, when he went to Youzhou as an envoy, he persuaded Zhang Ju to join forces with Taiping Dao. On the way back to Bingzhou, he brought a dozen or so riders to find the royal court of Shanggu Wuhuan, and persuaded Nanlou, the leader of Shanggu Wuhuan tribe, to attack together. The Southern Xiongnu even persuaded Nanlou to join Taipingdao.

In a sense, Tian Zhong is actually Xu An's matchmaker. After all, if it weren't for Tian Zhong, Xu An would not have married Shanggu Wuhuan in the end, and would have gained a lot of help on the grassland.

Shanggu Wuhuan contributed a lot to the stability of the two counties of Youzhou, and Shanggu Wuhuan also played a vital role in the success of the attack on the two counties of Youzhou.

In Tian Zhong's eyes, the formation that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong County has put up now is as ridiculous as a child learning to walk.

"In my way of peace, everyone, no matter how high or low they are, all follow the 'new ritual' in my way of peace."

"Hold your right hand flat, make a fist in your heart, and hold your head high."

Tian Zhong put his hands behind his back, looked around at the Taoist officials and generals of Hanzhong County in the palace, and smiled contemptuously

"How your head and bow your brows, and kneel down to worship? Since we are comrades, like-minded, and struggle together, we are originally from the same root, so why do we have to perform those humiliating etiquette?"

Tian Zhong stood in the pavilion, raised his head, and looked at Zhang Lu.

"If Zhang Tianshi wants to make some fuss about etiquette, he doesn't have to."

Tian Zhong snorted disdainfully.

"Nowadays the situation in the world is changing, and the dust of the Central Plains war has settled. Our army has captured Guanzhong and Liangzhou. There are more than [-] million people under its rule. There are hundreds of thousands of armored men and countless elite soldiers and strong generals."

"Hanzhong County has a radius of only a hundred miles, and its army has no more than [-] soldiers. The first battle cannot even be equipped with the entire army, and there is not much food and grass in the warehouse."

"Liangzhou's rebellious army has not been leveled for eight years. There are more than ten thousand generals and countless horsemen. They plundered counties and counties, but the Han court can't control them. My lord is a good teacher. He bestowed the battleaxe at the end of winter and received his merits in early spring. In Liangzhou, defeat Xianbei, and Huqi outside the Great Wall are all invincible."

"Dong Zhuo was in chaos in the capital, with tens of thousands of troops to rule the world. The heroes of the Kanto had raised hundreds of thousands of troops, but they still stopped outside the Hangu Pass and could not advance an inch."

"However, within ten months, Guanzhong changed hands, and Dong Zhuo was executed."

At this moment, Zhang Lu could no longer maintain that posture of concentration, he opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and stared at Tian Zhong.

"Tian Lingjun wants to threaten me with words?"

Zhang Lu stared at Tian Zhong with anger in his eyes.

"The land of Hanzhong is difficult to attack and easy to defend. I have [-] armored soldiers in Hanzhong County, and hundreds of thousands of Daoists. If it is as easy as you said, why are you now the envoy to Hanzhong instead of the Yellow Turban Army? The armored soldiers broke into Hanzhong County?"

Tian Zhong did not avoid Zhang Lu's gaze, he stared into Zhang Lu's eyes, and looked at Zhang Lu without fear.

"If it weren't for the great virtuous teacher who thought about Zhang Tianshi's preaching and teaching in Hanzhong County, helping the people, and having a lot of virtue and blessings, and sent me to make peace, I am afraid that Hanzhong County has already changed hands."

"The country in Guanzhong and the four fortresses, and the land in the northwest of Liangzhou, the terrain must be dangerous. Dong Zhuo and Han Sui are two generations of heroes. How can they be mediocre masters, but they still turned into loess."

"Taking Hanzhong is nothing more than a stroke of luck for my Taiping Dao!"

Tian Zhong stepped forward and slowly approached where Zhang Lu was.

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. Now the fate of the Han Dynasty is coming to an end, and the great sage will come out. You should follow the sky and follow the righteousness, and enjoy peace!"

Tian Zhong bowed his hands, tilted to the right, and said with emotion.

"Xu An, the Taoist master of my Taiping Dao, is Huang Tian's incarnation. He was ordered to be upright and obey the destiny."

"Occupy Lutai, unify the Taihang, and resound through the mountains. Fight Kuicheng, march into Shangdang, and attack Hedong. Take control of Bingzhou, attack the Huns in the north, and spread the prestige of Shuofang. Attack two counties, take Wuhuan in the east, and Dingding in the state. Four states concurrently , the troops entered Jizhou, and fought fiercely in Zhangshui. They broke through Hedong, conquered Xianbei in the west, swept Liangzhou, and became famous all over the world."

Tian Zhong put down his hand, he was not far away from Zhang Lu at this time.

The two soldiers standing beside Zhang Lu were already standing with their swords, guarding Zhang Lu's left and right sides.

"Mr. Zhang."

This time Tian Zhong did not call Zhang Lu the Celestial Master, but Zhang Lu's official position.

"Central Plains scuffled, Yuan Shao proclaimed himself emperor in Jizhou, the northern and southern courts continued to dispute, Zhang Shijun wanted to find the southern court to support, I am afraid it will be very difficult."

"Our army occupies Guanzhong, and Wuguan is also in our army's hands. Even if Nanting wants to help Hanzhong, our army can also send troops out of Wuguan to stop the Han army from advancing."

"Beiting is thousands of miles away from Hanzhong, and the south is the land of Yizhou. I heard that there seems to be a gap between Zhang Shijun and Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan. I'm afraid Liu Yan will not rush to help Shijun."

"The west and north are all occupied by our army. The south court in the east is unable to come to help. If Yizhou in the south hears that Hanzhong has been attacked, I'm afraid it will only take the opportunity to go north and encircle and suppress it together. When the north and south are encircled, you will think that only tens of thousands of battles in Hanzhong Soldiers, hundreds of thousands of Taoists can stop them?"

"The general trend of the world is in my path of peace!"

Tian Zhong looked around at the group of Dao officials and generals of Hanzhong County in the hall, raised his head and spoke.

"I am peaceful, and I am ordered by heaven."

"A single spark can start a prairie fire."

"Now that I, Taipingdao, have liberated Bingzhou, Liangzhou, and Zhongzhou, it is no longer a spark."

"Now in the northwest of the world, a flame that soars to the sky has been ignited!"

"This fire has been ignited!"

Tian Zhong stared at Zhang Lu with piercing eyes.

"It's no longer a bucket of clear water, a stream, or a big river can calm it down, even the sea water pouring over the sea can't calm it down!"

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky will stand."

Tian Zhong's eyes are clear, and the fire is dancing in his eyes.

"After the fire has swept through the Thirteen States of Han Dynasty, the entire Divine State, the entire world, the universe, all the sins have been burned away, and the establishment of the Yellow Heaven World, the fire will subside!"

Tian Zhong stared at Zhang Lu, his voice was extremely cold.

Rao Zhang Lu is well-informed, and as the prefect of one side, he has seen countless wind and rain.

As a Taoist master, he couldn't help being overwhelmed by Tian Zhong's words and momentum.

"Before that, any obstacles that stand in our way, any affairs that dare to block our progress, will be swallowed by the fire."

"Huangfu Song can't."

Tian Zhong turned around and faced the Taoist officials and generals of Hanzhong County in the hall.

"Zhu Jun can't."

"Zhang Yi can't."

"Han Sui and Dong Zhuo are even worse!"

Tian Zhong's voice echoed and resounded in the closed palace.

Those armored soldiers who were glaring at him without concealing their murderous aura lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look at Tian Zhong.

Although Tian Zhong was alone and didn't even wear a sword, it still made them feel fear, which was a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Lu's face turned blue and then pale.

"Did Tian Lingjun forget the battle of Luoyang? The Daxing swordsman captured Luoyang, but finally gave it to Beiting?"

Tian Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly and snorted coldly.

"The tiny land in Luoyang is useless to take, and it's a pity to discard it. It's just a bone for the porpoise dogs outside the pass to scramble for."

Tian Zhong paused and changed the subject.

"Mr. Zhang said before that he had tens of thousands of generals and hundreds of thousands of Taoists under his command. As far as I know, Mr. Zhang attacked and killed Zhang Xiu and captured his soldiers. He also cut off the Xiegu Road. The soldiers under his command have accumulated over the years. There are only [-] people, how can there be tens of thousands of troops?"

Zhang Lu suddenly changed his color, and suddenly turned his head to look at Tian Zhong.

"Mr. Zhang, but how do I know how many soldiers are under your command?"

Zhang Lu looked embarrassed, the total number of soldiers under his command was estimated to be [-].

Tian Zhong was able to accurately count the number of people to a hundred, which undoubtedly proved that the military strength of Hanzhong County had already been seen by the Yellow Turban Army.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

Now the Yellow Turban Army knows his details, but Zhang Lu is completely blind to the situation of the Yellow Turban Army.

He also sent a lot of spies into Guanzhong, but those spies still had information to pass on before the Yellow Turban Army entered Guanzhong.

But since Taiping Road occupied Guanzhong, set up Wolf Guard guards in various places, and closed Ziwu Valley and other important roads, he never received any information.

Tian Zhong's expression did not change at all, he was not in a hurry.

"You might as well tell the envoy, I not only know how many soldiers the envoy has under his command, but also how the envoy arranges the troops for defense."

"Ziwu Valley is difficult to mobilize a large army due to its dangerous terrain, so you only placed [-] elite soldiers for defense, leaving [-] soldiers to guard Nanzheng, and [-] people to guard Yangping Pass, and the rest of the army was divided into various places. The law and order in various places is maintained by offering wine and Taoist officials."

Tian Zhong bowed his hands and faced Zhang Lu. Although he was saluting, his face showed no respect at all. His tone was extremely blunt and could not be refuted.

"I only give the envoy a quarter of an hour to think about it."

"The life and death of five buckets of rice depends on the king's thought."

Tian Zhong looked around at the Taoist officers and generals of Hanzhong County in the hall, looked up at Zhang Luhan and said in a loud voice.
