Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

() Seeing that all the ministers disagreed with the use of force, Liu Qi snorted coldly and said angrily: "Condemnation is useless to villains. I want them to know how powerful you are. You only have fists. Only when you hurt them will they kneel down." Beg for mercy. Besides, five thousand troops are enough to hurt Zhang Lu!"

"Lu Xun".Liu Qi looked at a handsome young man at the end of the group of officials and said.

"The minister is here."

"I'll give you four thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry, so you dare to fight Zhang Lu." Liu Qi believed in Lu Xun's talent.In Jiangdong, Zhuge Liang praised Lu Xun many times, saying that he was the crown of the Jiangdong gentry, and his talent was not inferior to Wu and Shiyuan.

Lu Xun did not disappoint Liu Qi, and said very confidently: "Promise, if Zhang Lu raises troops from Hanzhong to attack, please refuse my lord; if Yang Ren and others come with a division of generals, please destroy them." Domineering, young man There is tension.Unlike old people who are timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

Liu Qi clapped his hands and applauded, saying: "Bo Yan is really my confidant! Good! I will send Hu Che'er and Ding Feng as your lieutenant generals, leading five thousand troops, and send troops to Nanyang to defend Zhang Lu. If Zhang Lu dares to attack, he must be destroyed. Of."

"promise".A clear promise resounded through the meeting hall.

Hanzhong, Zhang Lu.

Hanzhong, the prefect's mansion.A man dressed as a Taoist priest sat on the main seat, which seemed a bit funny, but the civil servants and military generals in the two rows around him were not surprised.

"Confused, now that Liu Qi from Jingzhou has returned, how can you still go and grab his things? If you provoke him and send troops to Hanzhong at all costs, who of you can stop his hundreds of thousands of wolf-like police soldiers? , you, you are still you!"

Zhang Lu's angry appearance couldn't conceal the fear in his heart, he pointed at Yang Ren, Yang Bai, Yang Ang and others and cursed to ease the fear in his heart.This is a prince who can compete with Yuan Gong and Cao Gong. He can wipe out Hanzhong with a flick of his fingers, so why not be afraid.

Yang Song, Yang Bai and others below bowed their heads and said nothing, secretly said: At the beginning, you didn't have eyes for profit, and you didn't think Liu Qi was so powerful.

Zhang Lu's younger brother, Zhang Wei, is a reckless general. He brazenly said, "I'm afraid he will do something. I have 20 elite soldiers in Hanzhong, and there are dangers in the world. Even if Liu Qi leads an army of [-] to attack, it will be difficult to conquer."

Afraid that Zhang Lu would blame him, Yang Song echoed, "Yes, yes, besides, Mr. Cao will not sit idly by. If Liu Qi comes to commit a crime, and we ask Mr. Cao for help, Liu Qi will not dare to act rashly."

Zhang Lu looked at his chief counselor, and at the critical moment, he still depended on Yan Pu's opinion.Although Yan Pu didn't like Yang Song, he was unambiguous about major issues, and said: "For the current plan, we can only turn to Cao Cao for help." Seeing that his chief counselor also approved, Zhang Lu felt relieved.Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's four generations and three princes, can defeat him, but Liu Qi is just a child, how can I be afraid of him.

According to historical records, Zhang Lu was named Gongqi.His ancestral home is Feng County, Peiguo, not far from Cao Cao.He was once a warlord who ruled Hanzhong, one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty.He is the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang, Marquis of Liu in the Western Han Dynasty, grandson of Zhang Ling, the ancestor of Wudoumi Taoism, and the third generation of heavenly master of Wudoumi Taoism. After the death of his grandfather and father, he continued to spread Wudoumi Taoism in Hanzhong, and called himself "Master".Xiong occupied Hanzhong for nearly 30 years, and then surrendered to Cao Cao.

Originally mediocre, he was okay with dealing with Liu Zhang, and a small prince who barely protected himself dared to provoke Liu Qi, the ruler of the four states.The reason is that Cao Cao was provoking, Cao Cao sent envoys to seal Zhang Lu, and asked people to secretly bribe Yang Song.Make it slander in front of Zhang Lu and confuse the public.

Zhang Lu is also an incompetent person. Zhang Lu is the grandson of Zhang Ling and a teacher of the Five Dou Rice Dao Department.After Zhang Ling's death, Zhang Lu's father, Zhang Heng, continued to follow his path.Zhang Heng died, and Zhang Lu succeeded him as the leader.His mother is fond of keeping in good health, "has a little capacity", "also holds the way of ghosts", and goes to and from Liu Yan's house in Yizhou.Zhang Lu gained trust through his mother's relationship with Liu Yan's family.

In the second year of Chuping, Liu Yan appointed him as the Governor Sima, and together with the other Sima Zhang Xiu 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.

In the first year of Xingping, Liu Yan died, and his son Liu Zhang stood on his behalf.Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother and his family on the grounds that Zhang Lu did not obey his orders.He also sent his general Pang Xi and others to attack Zhang Lu, who were defeated by Zhang Lu many times.Most of Zhang Lu's songs were in Badi, so Liu Zhang made Pang Xi the prefect of Bajun.Zhang Lu attacked Berkshire.So he separated himself from Hanzhong, educated the people with five buckets of rice, and established a political and religious regime.

A person who relies on his mother to rise to power, no matter how capable he is, he can beat Liu Zhang and rule a county.At that time, he was confused for a while, after listening to Cao Cao's envoy's promise, Yang Song got a bribe and said good things for Cao Cao.So he worshiped Zhang Lu as the general of the townspeople, and led the prefect of Hanning.It made Zhang Lu's rule more legitimate and more stable.The condition is to disturb Jingzhou.

As a result, Zhang Lu ignored the repeated dissuasion of his counselor Yan Pu, sent troops to rob Liu Qi's business car, also intercepted hundreds of horses, and sent troops to harass the border of Jingzhou.At that time, Liu Qi's main force was in Jiangdong, and he had no time to take care of this side.Let him be rampant like a clown for a while, and if he sees the class teacher returning to Xiangyang, Zhang Lu no longer dares to make trouble, watching Liu Qi attack Jiangdong like a broken bamboo.Changzi is even more remorseful, for offending such a god for a little profit.

Now Cao Cao Chen Bing Xudu, and sent heavy troops to guard the border of Jingzhou.Xu Shu and Huo Jun's [-] troops were used to guard Wancheng and other important places, but Zhang Lu's generals got used to it and robbed the Jingzhou caravan again, which made Liu Qi furious.

Zhang Lu's rule is a bit peculiar, similar to the government of theocracy.According to historical records, in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu inherited Zhang Xiu's teaching method and "embellished it".Calling himself "Master".Those who come to learn Taoism are called "ghost soldiers" at the beginning, and they are called "jiujiu" after they have believed in the way.There are no senior officials, and local government affairs are managed with sacrificial wine.Inheriting the teachings of his ancestors, teaching people to be honest and not deceitful, and asking patients to confess their mistakes; forgiving offenders three times, and punishing them again if they commit crimes again;According to the "Moon Order", slaughter and alcoholism are prohibited in spring and summer when all things grow.He also founded Yishe, put righteous rice and meat in it, and provided free food for passers-by, and declared that if you get too much, you will offend ghosts and gods and get sick.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were hordes of hordes and social turmoil. Many people fled to the relatively stable Hanzhong area. For example, tens of thousands of Guanxi people fled to Hanzhong from Ziwu Valley.

Zhang Lu also received the support of Du Gu, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and others, leaders of the Bayi minority.He adopted a lenient policy to rule Hanzhong, "the people are happy with it". "Those who move and send in their places dare not refuse."Wu Dou Mi Dao expanded its influence by virtue of the power of the regime.Followers of the Five Dou of Rice Dao only need to pay five Dou of rice to enter the Tao.Zhang Lu has been in Hanzhong for more than 20 years and has many believers, becoming a powerful separatist force at the end of Han Dynasty.
