    Outside Sanguan, Lu Su's army camp was still in order despite the busyness.  {http:

    Lu Su summoned the generals and stood outside the camp gate to welcome Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry.  Nowadays, Lu Su is the governor of Sizhou and has strong troops. He is already an important minister of the imperial court. The fact that he can personally go out to greet Ma Chao, who is still a minor general, shows his sincerity.

    Ma Chao didn't dare to ask for help, so when he was still a hundred steps away from the camp gate, he got off his horse and strode up to Lu Su with long strides. He half-knelt down and said loudly: "General Ma Chao, please pay homage to the governor!" Ma Dai  , Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, Pang De and other generals followed and also paid homage.

    Lu Su helped Ma Chao up with a smile, looked up and down, and praised: "Ma Chao, known as Xiliang Jin, is indeed extraordinary! With the help of General Meng Qi this time, Hanzhong is at your fingertips, Zhang Lu is gone!"

    Afterwards, Ma Chao and others followed Lu Su back to the Chinese army's tent. They looked around at the generals around Lu Su. They were either calm, heroic or powerful. Ma Chao couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart. There are no weak soldiers under a strong general. Jiangdong Army  His prowess is evident from this.

    "Why haven't you seen General Gongming?" When Ma Chao entered Chang'an last year, he hit it off with Xu Huang, and the two had a close personal relationship. Today, Ma Chao made a patrol and did not see Xu Huang, so he asked this question.

    Lu Su laughed and ordered someone to pull down the silk cloth hanging on the screen behind the handsome case, revealing a map of Hanzhong. He pointed at a place with his hand and said: "General Gongming, he is right here!"

    Ma Chao took a look and couldn't help but gasped. Where Lu Su pointed his finger, there were three words marked with a red pen: Ziwu Valley!

    Ziwu Valley is a small trail from Hanzhong to Guanzhong. The north entrance is called Zi and the south entrance is called Wu. It is about 600 miles long. Because the road is rugged and difficult to travel, it is rarely visited.  **() From Chang'an to Hanzhong, taking the Ziwu Valley is a shortcut, but in fact few people can get out of the valley alive, so the army moves.  They all took a detour to pass the customs.  Because the difficulty of traveling in Ziwu Valley is known to all the world, there is no pass in Ziwu Valley, and Zhang Lu did not divide his troops to guard it.

    Ma Chao couldn't help but praise again in his heart.  "Attack the pass in the open and cross the Ziwu Valley secretly. Lu Zijing's courage is truly extraordinary!"

    In Ziwu Valley, there are jagged rocks.  The vines covered the sky and the sun, and from time to time, the howls of wild beasts came from not far away.  Xu Huang took the lead with a machete in his hand, chopping thorns and thorns, and two strong men dressed as hunters explored the road ahead of Xu Huang.  Behind Xu Huang.  Nearly 5,000 Bingzhou veterans followed silently, their gloomy faces unable to hide their perseverance.  Everyone in the team was carrying a package on their backs. The food inside was enough for ten days, and they had been walking in the valley for eight days, but they still couldn't finish the mountain road ahead!

    Finally, after crossing a pass, Xu Huang climbed up and looked into the distance, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.  He quickly returned to the team.  He said to the bodyguard beside him: "Pass it on, you can already see the mouth of the valley! We are about to go out!"

    The news spread everywhere, and the five thousand soldiers in the Bingzhou camp were all happy and their spirits were lifted!  Excavating the Ziwu Valley, you will find the vast Hanshui Plain. Along the Chi Road, you can go directly to Zhang Lu¡¯s home base of Nanzheng!  At present, most of Zhang Lu's troops are stationed at Sanguan and Yangpingguan.  How could he have expected that a troop of soldiers would come out of the inaccessible Ziwu Valley?  When the army descended from the sky like divine soldiers and appeared at the gate of Nanzheng City.  I'm afraid Zhang Lu's legs will tremble non-stop!

    Just when Xu Huang's five thousand soldiers from the Bingzhou Battalion walked out of Ziwu Valley, they were in Zhang Lu's mansion in Nanzheng City.  There is a lively debate going on.

    "My lord, for this plan, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the nine counties of Hanzhong must be the most important thing! The war is going on, the swords are fighting, the lives are in ruins, and the more than ten years of being in peace with the world will be gone forever!"  As Zhang Lu's right-hand man, counselor Yan Pu is trying to persuade Zhang Lu.

    Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei immediately jumped to his feet. The attitude of a warrior was already vulgar. He pointed at Yan Pu and cursed: "Bitch thieves! You are betraying your lord if you want to collaborate with the enemy! We are rich in Hanzhong, with sufficient food and grass, the people are at home, and we have scattered customs.  The natural dangers of Yangpingguan are enough to resist foreign enemies!"

    After saying that, Zhang Wei raised his hands to Zhang Lugong and said with a ferocious expression: "Brother, this man was eaten inside and outside, dragged out and chopped!"

    Yang Song, another counselor under Zhang Lu's tent, rolled his eyes and hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Lord, please don't fight with everyone's heart, for the sake of the people of Hanzhong, and for the sake of the lord's foundation However, the terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous, so we really don't need to be too afraid of the enemy.  . If he surrenders without fighting, where will the court treat the lord? He will definitely look down upon the lord!"

    Wearing a yellow Taoist robe, Zhang Lu has been sitting upright behind the case, with his hair in a high bun and his eyes slightly closed. It seems that the quarrels and discussions among the people have nothing to do with him.  In fact, everyone's words entered his ears word for word.

    Since the second year of Chuping, Zhang Lu was appointed by Liu Yan as the governor of the army. He led the army and Zhang Xiu, the commander of other departments, to attack Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong. Later, he killed Zhang Xiu and captured his troops.After taking over Hanzhong, Zhang Lu had ruled Hanzhong for twelve years.  During this period, Liu Yan died and his son Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne. Because Zhang Lu did not obey his orders, he killed Lu's mother and her family.  Zhang Lu then formally separated Hanzhong, educated the people with the "Five Pecks of Rice", and established a political and religious regime.

    Zhang Lu calls himself "Master Master" and his position is extremely high.  Those who come to learn Taoism are initially called "Ghost Soldiers". Once they have accepted the Taoism, they are called "Jiejiu". They lead tribes, and those who lead many people are called "Zhitou Dajiujiu".  In the territory of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu did not appoint any long-term officials and managed local government affairs by offering wine.

    In the past ten years or so, swarms of heroes have emerged to attack each other, and wars have continued in the Central Plains. Many people have fled to the relatively stable Hanzhong area. Tens of thousands of families have fled to Hanzhong in the Kansai area alone, which has greatly enriched the number of households in Hanzhong.

    Zhang Lu also received support from Du Yi, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue and others, leaders of the Bayi minority, and all ethnic groups lived in harmony.  In terms of government affairs, Zhang Lu adopted a relatively lenient policy to rule Hanzhong. "The people and barbarians were happy with it" and "those who moved to the place where they lived did not dare not to obey."

    "The Five Pecks of Rice Road has expanded its influence by relying on the power of the political power, and has continuously penetrated into the Central Plains area.  Now under Zhang Lu, the counselors are headed by Yan Pu and Yang Song, and the generals are Yang Ang, Yang Bai, and Yang Ren. His younger brothers Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei also have heavy troops. As a follower of Zhang Lu, Zhang Sui is in Hanzhong.  He also preached and taught Dharma in other places and was quite influential.

    After everyone quarreled and saw that no one could convince others, they all stopped and looked at Zhang Lu eagerly, expecting him to make the final decision.

    At this time, Zhang Lufang opened his slightly closed eyes. Long-term self-cultivation has made him more spiritual and less domineering. "What you all said makes sense. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhong."  The common people are also hundreds of thousands of disciples of my Tao, and they should love and protect them. "(To be continued)
