Chapter 228
He played dozens of tricks in a row, without blushing or panting.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was overjoyed and said, "Han Sheng really has the courage of incorruptibility."

Then he appointed Huang Zhong as the chief general and Wei Yan as the vanguard, led an army of [-], quietly left Qishan, and made a detour to attack Hanzhong.

Since Zhang Lu became Marquis of Langzhong, he has become neighbors with Zhang Fei and Fazheng of Ba County.

The Taoists in Hanzhong were not affected, and Fang Jie did not interfere with their freedom of belief.

After all, Taoism is a local religion, which is in line with the mainstream consciousness and culture of the people, but when it arrived in Yizhou, its spread was hindered.

Zhang Fei, in particular, went to trouble Zhang Lu almost every day, forbidding Zhang Lu to preach in Yizhou.

One day, Zhang Lu met Zhang Fei while walking on the street. Zhang Fei sent troops to surround Zhang Lu and told him not to preach in Yizhou, otherwise he would be executed by military law.

Zhang Lu said: "Preaching is permitted by the imperial court."

Zhang Fei was furious: "Shit, that's what Thief Cao allowed you to do, it won't work in Yizhou!"

Zhang Lu said angrily: "Zhang Yide, His Majesty has issued an edict again, allowing me to preach freely. Do you want to question His Majesty's will?"

Zhang Fei shouted: "Who in the world does not know that the imperial court is controlled by Cao thief, you old boy, don't use chicken feathers as arrows, if I see you preaching in Yizhou again, I will destroy your Taoist temple!"

In desperation, Zhang Lu wrote to Cao Cao requesting that other back covers be changed.

After Cao Cao knew about it, he made Zhang Lu the Marquis of Beiyuan, which was outside Qishan Mountain, between Shangfanggu and Longxi.

It is at the junction of Liangzhou and Yizhou, which is more suitable for Zhang Lu to preach.

Zhang Lu got the new imperial edict, and took three thousand soldiers north to Beiyuan.

Zhang Fei also pulled out this thorn in his side, thinking that he had won a big victory and was very happy.

And Zhang Lu was also blind, and left Langzhong, took the Yinping trail, and left Qishan.

Unexpectedly, he collided with Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who were marching secretly, and the two soldiers and horses met each other, swords drawn.

Zhang Lu stepped forward and asked, "I am Zhang Lu, the general of Zhandong Zhendong. Which army is in front?"

Wei Yan and Huang Zhong went out together, and saw Zhang Lu after two hundred steps.

"It turned out to be General Han Sheng and General Wen Chang. Aren't the two guarding Jiange and Baishui Pass? How did the soldiers get here?"

Huang Zhong shouted: "I am ordered to patrol here, where is Langzhong Hou going?"

Zhang Lu said: "Now I have been changed to the title of Marquis of Beiyuan by His Majesty, and I am going to receive the back cover. I didn't expect to meet two generals here."

Wei Yan's eyes flickered with murderous intent, and he looked at Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong shook his head slightly, "Zhang Lu was granted the title of Marquis of Beiyuan. In Longxi area, we are going to Chencang, not in the same direction. There is no need to kill him."

Hearing this, Wei Yan restrained his murderous aura.

Zhang Lu camped on the spot and invited Wei Yan and Huang Zhong to drink and talk together.

Zhang Lu's daughter, Zhang Qiying, was dressed in a white Taoist gown with a fairy air, like an orchid in an empty valley, and she was also sitting on the ground beside her.

Seeing this, Wei Yan was secretly surprised, and asked, "Marquis of Langzhong, who is this?"

Zhang Lu proudly said: "This is my little girl Zhang Qiying. She just came back from learning Taoism from Immortal Zuo Ci. In terms of cultivation realm, my little girl is much higher than me."

Hearing this, Zhang Qiying smiled faintly, like a snow lotus on an iceberg.

"Father is overrated."

Huang Zhong was obviously not in the mood to preach to Zhang Lu, "The Marquis of Langzhong is not in Langzhong, why go to Beiyuan?"

Zhang Lu sighed, "I was preaching in Langzhong, but Zhang Yide always said that I was cultivating fine arts in secret, and that I was not allowed to preach in Yizhou, so I wrote to the imperial court, requesting a change of fiefdom."

"It was changed to Beiyuan."

Huang Zhong said: "Yide's temper really exploded, but it's embarrassing Bei Yuanhou."

Zhang Lu smiled, "I'm a practitioner, so I don't care about these things. However, the Taoist ancestor passed down the teachings. If I want to spread the Taoism widely, I have to go far away to Beiyuan."

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and nodded: "Beiyuan is located at the junction of the two states, and it is indeed a good place to preach."

Zhang Lu asked again: "General Han Sheng, where are you going?"

Huang Zhong said without changing his face: "I am ordered by my lord to patrol the territory and prevent Cao's thieves from invading from Xiliang."

Zhang Lu nodded, "Xia Houyuan has regained Xiliang, so we should take more precautions."

Huang Zhong didn't want to continue talking with Zhang Lu, so he and Wei Yan got up and said goodbye.

The army is mighty again, and it leaves Qishan.

"To inspect the territory, as for bringing so many soldiers and horses? And there are still two generals?"

After all, Zhang Lu is also a vassal, so it is impossible not to be active in his mind. It didn't take long before he guessed the key point.

After all, he has been entrenched in Hanzhong for more than ten years, so of course he knows the weakness of Hanzhong.

The weakness of Hanzhong is Ziwu Valley. This group of people must make a detour and attack Fang Jie's rear from Ziwu Valley.

Fang Jie didn't want Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to be as hateful as them. Under the rule of Hanzhong, the Taoists lived and worked in peace and contentment and lived a good life.

Zhang Lu naturally didn't want to let the people of Hanzhong suffer.

"Father, do you need your daughter to tell Master Fang?"

Zhang Lu became embarrassed: "My son, here is hundreds of miles away from Hanzhong, and there are many obstacles along the way. How can you pass?"

Zhang Qiying smiled faintly, "Father, don't worry, Immortal Master Zuo taught me the method of shrinking the ground to an inch, which can travel hundreds of miles a day, and also taught me the seven techniques of blinding the eyes. It's no problem to mere city gates."

Zhang Lu didn't believe it, but saw that Zhang Qiying's whole person seemed to be unreal and unreal.

Then it turned into a white feather and fell to the ground.

Zhang Lu was shocked, and looked up outside the tent, only to see that Zhang Qiying had walked a hundred steps away, and his voice was still recalling in the tent.

Seeing this, Zhang Lu was amazed, "If there is a woman like this, I am very happy!"

In Xuchang City, Cao Cao rubbed his sore shoulders, and the clothes he was wearing fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Mrs. Bian came over to pick up the clothes, put them back on for Cao Cao, and rubbed Cao Cao's shoulders.

"Husband, you can leave these trivial matters to the children, why do you have to do them yourself?"

"Although my husband is the king of Wei, he is also an old man. Like the seventh son-in-law said, he must know how to live."

As soon as Fang Jie, the seventh son-in-law, was mentioned, Cao Cao was in a good mood, with a smile on his face. He looked at Mrs. Bian and said, "The children are away fighting, and there is nothing I can do. I can only stand on my laurels."

"Let me help them take care of these trivial matters of food and grass disputes."

Mrs. Bian also nodded, and said worriedly, "Has Zihuan arrived in Jingzhou?"

While Cao Cao was overjoyed, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "It would be great if Zihuan had the talent of wood and water."

Cao Zhi was very respectful, and came to the study to ask for an interview, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

When Cao Cao saw Cao Zhi coming, he guessed that there was nothing to do, so he pretended to ask, "Zijian, what's the matter?"

Cao Zhi also imitated Cao Pi, pretending to be sympathetic to the world, and making an expression of his clothes with the world in mind.

"Father Wang Mingjian, recently, my son has felt that he can't contribute to his father, and he feels extremely ashamed, so he thought of a plan and came here to inform his father."

After Cao Cao heard it, he was very happy, and he did not hide his admiration for Cao Zhi. He exchanged a glance with Mrs. Bian, and Cao Cao smiled and said, "Zijian can finally see the situation clearly."

When Cao Zhi heard this, he was overjoyed. Taking advantage of Cao Pi's absence, he could try his best to show that Cao Cao would change him.

In this way, it is still unknown who will get the position of the son-in-law.
