Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

Hanzhong, Nanzheng.

The imperial court announced to the world that Zhang Lu was listed as a traitor, and Tianshi Dao was listed as a cult, which was equivalent to the Taiping Dao of the Yellow Turban Army. The news spread to Hanzhong immediately.

Originally, Hanzhong was not far from Guanzhong, just across the Qinling Mountains. If you only look at the straight-line distance on the map, the distance between the two places is only more than two hundred miles.

After Zhang Lu received the news, he almost died of anger, and even lost the mood to meditate.

"Sigh~" Zhang Lu sighed, "I shouldn't have done everything to offend Lu Bu."

Zhang Lu also regretted it a little now, not because of the problem of rebels, but because Tianshi Dao was listed as a cult and confused with the Yellow Turban Army's Taiping Dao.

Zhang Lu has no intention of fighting for hegemony in the world. He has self-knowledge and knows that his ability is definitely not enough, so he wants to find a safe place, promote the way of the celestial master, pass on the sect passed down from his family, and let more people in the world believe in the celestial master road.

If it is said that the princes of the world want to rule the people's body, then Zhang Lu's ambition is to rule the spiritual world of the people in the world.

And Hanzhong is undoubtedly a very suitable place, with the Qinling Mountains as a barrier in the north, and the endless Daba Mountains in the south.

Between the Qinling Mountains and Bashan Mountains, there is a long and narrow Hanzhong Plain, and the only entrance and exit is Yangping Pass.

This kind of terrain is used to stick to it, and it is simply invincible.

In history, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the heroes fought for hegemony, and Zhang Lu, a Taoist priest, can be stable in Hanzhong for 30 years, which is the best proof.

Hanzhong is only one county in total, but it is more difficult to defeat it than to attack a state. Naturally, no one wants to attack Hanzhong.

This was also Zhang Lu's confidence to offend Lu Bu. Zhang Lu boasted that Lu could no longer fight, nor would he be able to break through Hanzhong, so he acted unscrupulously before.

But Zhang Lu forgot that the emperor was still in Lu Bu's hands, or Zhang Lu ignored the importance of the emperor.

An imperial decree labeled the Tao of Heavenly Master as a religion.

For a religion, being officially classified as a cult is definitely a devastating blow.

It was not long before Zhang Lu took Hanzhong, and he had not yet taken root among the people of Hanzhong, let alone deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At this time, it was still the budding stage of Tianshi Dao in Hanzhong, it was very fragile and could not withstand any wind and rain.

And this imperial decree of the imperial court is tantamount to five thunderbolts to the current Heavenly Master Dao.

"Why don't you...recognize Lu Bu's mistake and return those silks to him? Replant them?" Zhang Lu hesitated.

"My lord, this matter won't work." Yan Pu, a counselor, shook his head and said, "The emperor's edict has been issued, and there is no room for mediation between us and Lu Bu. We can only be enemies, and there is no way to reconcile."

"If Lu doesn't reconcile with us, isn't that forcing the emperor to change the order every day? My lord should give up on it."

Yan Pu didn't agree with Lu Bu at the beginning, especially when he took the money and then took the silk away.

It's a pity that Zhang Lu was obsessed with money at that time, and felt that Lu Bu was quite easy to handle, so he didn't listen to Yan Pu's advice at all.

"Then what do you think we should do now?" Zhang Lu asked with a worried face.

"Block the news." Yan Pu said without hesitation: "Although we know the news, what do the people below know?"

The circulation of information is like this, the high-level know first, then the middle-level, and the bottom-level know last.

"My lord only needs to seal off Yangping Pass to prevent the news from spreading widely. If there are rumors in Hanzhong, immediately arrest the person who spread the news and classify it as a rumor, so that the people don't believe it."

"The news in Hanzhong is blocked, so the people will not be sure whether it is true or not, and don't know which news to believe.

Zhang Lu nodded repeatedly after listening, "Wonderful! Wonderful! In this way, you don't have to worry about the teaching of the Heavenly Master.

"Come here, lock Yangping Pass directly, no one can enter!"

Zhang Lu directly ordered to start the policy of closing the door and closing the country to prevent news from flowing into Hanzhong on a large scale.

"My lord, you should think about how to deal with Lu Bu's attack." Yan Pu reminded: "If there is no accident, Lu Bu will definitely attack Hanzhong after the autumn harvest."

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Lu said indifferently: "Hanzhong is as solid as gold, what's the problem?"

In fact, Zhang Lu only cared about the way of the heavenly master, and didn't care about offending Lu Bu, and he was not afraid that Lu Bu would lead an army to attack Hanzhong.

The reason why he wanted to reconcile with Lu Bu before was because of the way of the heavenly master.

Since blocking the news can protect the Heavenly Master, Zhang Lu has no scruples.

"My lord, it's better to be careful." Yan Pu said earnestly.

Zhang Lu thought for a moment, then ordered: "Send the order to pull all the army to Yangping Pass."

"Start to rectify the troops and horses, repair the passes, prepare the defense equipment, and stock up on the rolling stone torreya and arrow tung oil.

Seeing that Zhang Lu obeyed the persuasion and began to issue military orders, Yan Pu felt relieved, thinking that Lu Bu would definitely not be able to attack this time.

"With an army of 20,000 soldiers, not lacking in food and grass, and sticking to Yangping Pass, even if Lu is no longer brave and good at fighting, is it possible that he can still fly into Hanzhong?" Zhang Lu was very proud.

0...asking for flowers...

The grain production in the Hanzhong Plain is good, plus Zhang Lu’s Tianshi Dao, also known as the Five Dou of Rice Sect, requires the common people to pay five Dou of rice as a teaching fee in order to successfully join the Tianshi Dao.

After that, every autumn harvest, the common people need to pay five buckets of rice as teaching fees.

The government's tax and the teaching fee of Tianshi Dao are equivalent to Zhang Lu collecting taxes twice a year, so he naturally has no shortage of food and grass.

Yan Pu looked at the complacent Zhang Lu, and wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up, thinking that what Zhang Lu said was right, as long as Lu could not fly, he would not be able to enter the land of Hanzhong.

It's a pity that neither the arrogant Zhang Lu nor the cautious Yan Pu would have thought that Lu Bu would not come in from Ziwu Valley.

Chang'an, camp.

After the 25,000 recruits had assembled, they came out of the barracks in a neat line.

......0

Lu Bu led the army on the back of the red rabbit, accompanied by Gao Shun, Pang De, and the two thousand camps.

The two thousand trapped camps are a heavy insurance, providing support for the army, just in case.

Going out with pure recruits is too uncertain. If something goes wrong, the whole army may collapse directly.

Two thousand trapped camps, the elite among the elite, with these soldiers, even if all the recruits collapsed, Lu Bu would still have the confidence to take the trapped camp and take Hanzhong.

The reason for bringing 20,000 new recruits is nothing more than to let them see the blood and experience the real battlefield.

The army sailed out of the south gate of Chang'an, and soon arrived at Ziwu Valley, and the team entered the valley in a long snake formation.

"This attack on Hanzhong requires a quick battle. We don't have much food and grass." Lu Bu said to the two people around him.

Originally, Lu Bu didn't want to attack Hanzhong after the autumn harvest, but Pound opened up the Meridian Valley in advance, and Lu Bu didn't want to collect taxes from Hanzhong, so he had to go before the autumn harvest.

The grain and grass obtained from Yuan Shao by selling horses were sent to Xitao and Houtao as grain.

Lu Bu gave Zhang Yang some food and grass, and in addition to the loss on the road, Lu Bu was still short of food on hand.

However, this situation can be alleviated soon, just wait for a period of time for the autumn harvest to come.

The output of the three major plains of Guanzhong, Xitao, and Houtao can make Lu Bu rich.

If Hanzhong can be successfully captured before the autumn harvest, then the grain production in Hanzhong will also belong to Lu Bu.

At about the same time, just after autumn, Liu Zhang sent a group of troops out of Jiange according to the time agreed with Lu Bu, went northward to Yangping Pass, and stationed there, so as to contain Zhang Lu's troops by an inch. .
