Xiaoguangong

Chapter 198
Zhang Lu, courtesy name Gongqi.

But this word is not important, and no one will call Zhang Lu's name.

Although Zhang Lu's official identity is the prefect of Hanning (Zhang Lu himself renamed Hanzhong Hanning) and the general of the townspeople, as the leader of the Five Dou Rice Cult passed down from generation to generation, Zhang Lu prefers to be called "Master" by his followers. Jun", if he is not a believer, he will be very happy to call him "Zhang Tianshi".

Speaking of which, Zhang Lu's style of painting is indeed completely different from other warlords in the world.

He believed in Wudoumi and ruled the world with the way of ghosts. The outer disciples were called "ghost soldiers" and the inner disciples were called "sacrificing wine". It spread all over Bashu and became an extremely powerful force. Now no one remembers that Zhang Lu was a warlord who killed the imperial prefect and occupied one side with the help of Liu Yan. When everyone talks about this man, they will look afraid and admire his superb magic power And powerful skills, as well as the unique way of managing money under its rule.

Zhang Lu used his sacrificial wine and grand sacrificial wine to govern the place. The laws were quite broad, and he often set up charitable homes to help the common people. In this era when ordinary people's lives were regarded as worthless, it was definitely quite good, so there were many people who defected to him. , His influence has gradually spread to every corner of Bashu, and his influence is no less than that of Yuan Shao, who was the fourth generation and third prince.

The better he did, the angrier his old superior Liu Zhang became.

Zhang Lu, a monster, was able to dominate Hanzhong with the protection of Liu Zhang's father. Liu Zhang always felt that this was a big threat, and felt that a group of ghost soldiers could have any fighting power, so he simply killed Zhang Lu's mother. He sent his soldiers to attack Hanzhong.

Facts have proved that although Zhang Lu is relatively good, Liu Zhangjun is at least really good at attacking.

They attacked many times and were beaten all over the floor, but they even accumulated a lot of sympathy for Zhang Lu—whatever it is to kill someone’s mother casually, you are too unrighteous, and it is too hopeless to follow you up.

In a few more years, Liu Zhang's subordinates might become Zhang Lu's disciples.

Liu Zhang is very high-ranking, but the higher he is, the less he is Zhang Lu's opponent, so he can only be incompetent and furious. During the Battle of Chibi, he couldn't help but send someone to contact Cao Cao to see if he could vote directly. When the time comes, let Cao Cao's people come and beat Zhang Lu .

But because of the failure of the Chibi War, Liu Zhang temporarily cut off contact with Cao Cao. Fortunately, Cao Jun was unwilling to let go of this wonderful land, and directly dispatched a large army to kill Zhang Lu aggressively.

Zhang Lu was surprised when he heard that Cao Cao had ordered Qi men and horses to beat him up.

He asked himself that he had always remained aloof from the world, and had never thought of leaving Hanzhong. This could attract Cao Cao, who was really a bully.

Although possessing supreme mana, it is well known that Zhang Tianshi doesn't like to attack mortals, so he decided to surrender after thinking for a moment. With his status, Cao Cao couldn't kill him.

But his younger brother Zhang Wei was very dissatisfied.

Zhang Wei felt that his family had been operating here for so many years, how could Cao Cao surrender with just one word.

At any rate, back then, my family was also a fierce man who killed the court officials to separate the side. Cao Cao would come if he wanted to fight. I closed the road outside Yangping Pass and sent troops to garrison. I will see what he uses to fight in.

Zhang Lu was very hesitant, always feeling unreliable, but after staying in Hanzhong for so many years, he definitely couldn't willingly abandon the land.

So he walked in two steps, first sent his five sense organs to greet Cao Cao and said to surrender, and at the same time said that his younger brother was not allowed to surrender, and he had already set up heavy defenses at Yangping Pass.

I want to see if the destiny is on Cao Cao's side.

While Zhang Lujun was desperately strengthening the defense of Hanzhong, Guan Ping's army was also heading west.

In this western expedition, Guan Ping was the best of the best. He had selected all the elite soldiers from the field soldiers in Xianshan, and used Jingzhou soldiers as his team to prepare for this battle.

In the last expedition, Guan Ping's dog-headed army master Xun deeply felt that his ability to coordinate combat was insufficient, and Yunshan's Guxuan had insufficient generals to use, so he used his brains to help Yunshan obtain a piece of paper and a military. Strengthen the combat capability of Yunshan.

The civil servant is Kuai Yue who has been hanging out at home all the time.

This guy had a bright future, Cao Cao also hoped to let him serve as a high-ranking official in the court, and Kuai Yue also hoped to escape from the wrong place quickly, but at this time Fu Xun came to the door and asked him a soul-striking question question.

"Alien, do you have an ancestral grave?"

Kuai Yue's face immediately changed after hearing this question, and Fu Xun smiled and said:
"Just ask, if you don't have one.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have one, Xianshan Mountain has a beautiful scenery, and it’s pretty good for your family’s ancestral grave. "

Kuai Yue was extremely indignant at this lack of quality threat, but he had no choice but to agree to Fu Xun's request to help Guan Ping with advice.

With Kuai Yue's prestige and level of planning in Jingzhou, his arrival gave Guan Ping's army even more prestige, and everyone was full of yearning for future battles.

As for generals, Fu Xun has more ideas.

Before Wenpin was hit hard by Guan Ping, he hid back to Nanyang to recuperate. Later, Nanyang was also occupied. Wenpin wisely protected himself, and did not dare to reveal Guan Ping's identity. Fu Xun also took the opportunity to tie him to a pirate ship and let him serve as the general of Yunshan. .

Wenpin originally had a bright future, but Guan Ping knocked out half of his teeth in the previous battle, and lost his qualification to lead the army. After that, he stayed at home and was depressed.

Hearing such an outrageous errand this time, he wanted to refuse immediately, but after much deliberation, he was still unwilling to refuse this opportunity to show his talents again.

His relationship with Liu Bei was not bad back then, but it was only because he was on the wrong team that he became what he is now.

Yunshan is still Cao Jun in name, no matter what his final success or failure, he can be regarded as returning to Cao Jun.

He didn't believe that with Wenpin's martial arts and skills, he still couldn't make a living in this troubled world. Even if he left his hometown of Jingzhou, Wenpin still had the confidence to make a career in another place.

The only thing that makes Wenpin feel a little disdainful is that he actually wants to accept Zhang Yun's command.

That's right, Zhang Yun finally won the trust of Yunshan because he killed Pan Zhang before. In Yunshan's huge navy, he served as the commander of the navy—this is not the kind of Cao Ren's subordinates who are directly controlled by Cao Ren. Guan Ping still recognized Zhang Yun's commanding ability for the aggrieved role of commanding the line, and he assuredly gave up most of the commanding power on the front line to the former Jingzhou Navy Commander.

This road is all Cao Jun's territory. The local nobles in Fangling, Shangyong, and Xicheng (these three places belonged to Hanzhong County before, but are now divided into three counties and belong to Jingzhou) dare not neglect this powerful navy. They presented all kinds of specialty gifts one after another, hoping to get the approval of Cao Junhong.

Shen Dan, the leader of the wealthy clan in the Shangyong area, also sent people to deliver a large amount of food, fine wine, and armaments, expressing that he would stand by Prime Minister Cao's side and help Prime Minister Cao defeat the thieves together.

He was familiar with Zhang Lu, but if Prime Minister Cao ordered him to come and go in the wind and rain, it would be no problem to chop off Zhang Lu's head.

Speaking of which, Guan Ping was really curious about this Shangyong prefect.

This person belongs to a powerful family with great power. Shangyong, Fangling, and Xicheng counties are actually in charge of him alone, and Cao Cao even made him a member of the township to appease him.

According to Kuai Yue, this person is a standard patriarch of a wealthy family, not too enterprising, and has no extraordinary culture. If he is the king and hegemony in China, it is best for no one to bother him.

This time the army arrived, and his enthusiastic labor proved this point. I hope that the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court will fight Hanzhong with fertile land if they want to fight, and don't come to fight them, Hanzhong, which doesn't shit or lay eggs.

Although he didn't appreciate this person's character very much, Guan Ping's goal was to occupy Hanzhong, and he had to take time off to turn against these local tyrants in order to prevent being attacked by them.

After thinking about it, Guan Ping sent Chen Qun, who was eating and drinking under his command, as an envoy ashore to express his gratitude to Shen Dan.

Anyway, Guan Ping also knew that if he asked Chen Qun to give him advice, he would definitely not be able to use his brains well, so he might as well put him in his field of expertise.

Yingchuan Chen's face is still very good.

Chen Qun also understood Guan Ping's thoughts, he rolled his eyes, and thought that you are really good at calling people.

What Chen Qun hates the most is Shen Dan, who obviously has no culture, but relies on his huge power to rule the roost in violation of the law in troubled times.

What is there to talk about this kind of landowner, Chen Qun's mind became more active again.

Yes, he was very disappointed with the Cao family before, and he has decided to start fishing, and it has nothing to do with him in the future.

But Chen Qun hated Guan Ping even more. If this guy hadn't kept framing him, he wouldn't have fallen into the current situation.

Guan Ping asked him to work in the army, just in line with Chen Qun's wishes.

He thought about it for a while, and planned to see Shen Dan, trying to make Shen Dan turn his back on Guan Ping, and make trouble for Guan Ping in the rear to affect Guan Ping's plan to conquer Hanzhong.

Guan Ping has always been trusted by Cao Cao and Cao Pi, not because he is capable of fighting.

If Shen Dan's involvement caused Guan Ping to fail repeatedly in battle, Guan Ping would naturally lose his favor gradually.

If Guan Ping occupies Hanzhong, he dare not think about what will happen in the future. At least for a while, it will be difficult for Cao Cao to deal with him, and Liu Bei can also take the opportunity to enter Yizhou to connect with Guan Ping.

Just in time, I tried to find a way to force the rebellion.

Originally, a tycoon like Shen Dan who occupied one side had to be wiped out sooner or later. Although it was not a good time to force him to turn against him, if he could eliminate Guan Ping, a more terrifying opponent, wouldn't it be a dilemma, and good things come in pairs?

As for how to force others...

Hehe, what's the difficulty?Cao Jun is too good at this kind of thing.

Shen Dan didn't dare to come in person because he was worried that Guan Ping would tie him up by attacking Guo in a false way.

Both of them have ulterior motives, and I can succeed if I provoke them casually.

Thinking of this, Chen Qun suddenly smiled all over his face:

"Okay, okay, General Yun, don't worry. When I see Shen Yiju, I will reiterate the general's benevolence. Just don't worry."
