Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Under Yang Song's persuasion, Zhang Lu finally agreed to surrender.  (1_1) There was only one condition he put forward, that is, the imperial court publicly recognized Wu Dou Mi Dao and allowed him to preach in various places.

    Zhang Lu's reaction had been expected and arranged by Zhou Yu, Jia Xu, Lu Su and others. Xu Huang took out Zhou Yu's secret letter and handed it to Zhang Lu on the spot, which made Zhang Lu's heart suddenly relax.  Come down.  .

    For Zhang Lu, Hanzhong was included in the territory of the imperial court. He lost Hanzhong, but he could still keep his glory and wealth.  For Wudou Mi Road, there is an opportunity to expand to the Central Plains, Liaodong, and Jiangdong.  Zhang Lu is not stupid, he understands the meaning.

    Soon, several groups of cavalry, mainly Zhang Lu's personal guards, galloped out of Nanzheng City. They carried Zhang Lu's handwriting on them. All the places in Hanzhong immediately stopped resisting and surrendered to the imperial court!

    When Yang Ang received Zhang Lu's handwriting, he also saw Yang Song's secret letter. Knowing that the imperial court would provide strong support to the Yang family in Hanzhong, he did not hesitate and immediately opened the door to welcome Lu Su from outside the city.

    A moment ago, the two sides were fighting to the death, but now, they were shaking hands and talking happily.  Things in this world are often so wonderful.

    Lu Su immediately left Deng Sheng to guard Sanguan, gathered Yang Ang's troops, led the army and drove straight in. After passing Wudu, he arrived in front of Yangping Pass. Zhang Wei and other generals were waiting outside the pass.  This time, Lu Su was left behind to guard Yangping Pass by the partial general Lu Meng. After a series of battles, Lu Meng had grown into a general who could take charge of his own role.

    Three days later, Lu Su's army arrived in Nanzheng, and Xu Huang walked ten miles out of the city to meet him. The two armies joined forces, and the mood was high.  For Xu Huang's great contribution.  Lu Su naturally encouraged him. He had already presented to the court, and the commendation order would be delivered in a few days.  *1*1*

    After that, Lu Su moved into the city.  I met with Zhang Lu, comforted him a few times, and returned his mansion intact so that he could rest in peace and wait for the imperial court to settle him.  Later, Lu Su dispatched various ministries to rush to the counties in Hanzhong and surrendered with Zhang Lu's handwriting.  The chief officials of each county offered five buckets of rice in the road as sacrificial wine, and saw Zhang Lu's handwriting.  Just obey.  As for the hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhong, most of them are believers. Since the Celestial Master has surrendered to the imperial court, how can they still object?

    Hanzhong.  From now on, his surname is no longer Zhang.

    Twenty days later, the imperial envoy arrived in Nanzheng after a long journey. It was at least more than four thousand miles from Moling to Nanzheng. It required more than a hundred miles a day, and some mountain roads were rugged and difficult to navigate.  It¡¯s really a big thank you to this imperial envoy.

    According to the decree of the emperor, Zhang Lu was appointed as the general of Zhennan, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Langzhong, with a settlement of thousands of households.  Zhang Lu's eldest son Zhang Fu was granted the title of Marquis of Changting, and the Zhang Lu family moved to Moling to settle.  The rest of Zhang Lu's subordinates.  All are rewarded.

    As a newly annexed area, Hanzhong borders Bashu to the south.  Beilian Guanzhong needs capable generals to guard it. L¨¹ Meng got this opportunity with his outstanding performance in recent years. He was named the prefect of Hanzhong and led his troops to garrison. After integrating Zhang Lu's original tribes, L¨¹ Meng's army was named Hanzhong.  The camp numbered 30,000 people.  As for the Ma Chao brothers who supported the battle, the imperial court distributed generous rewards and made Ma Chao the Duting Marquis to commend their military exploits.

    Zhang Lu complied with the order. Half a month later, brothers Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei led the entire Zhang family of five to six hundred people to pack their bags and leave Nanzheng for Moling.  The people of Hanzhong walked across the street to see each other off, not only to say goodbye to the Heavenly Master of Five Pecks of Rice they admired, but also to thank Zhang Lu for his decisive submission to the imperial court, which saved the people of Hanzhong from the danger of swordsmanship.

    Due to Zhang Lu¡¯s revered status in Wudou Mi Road, he had many followers. After Zhang Lu moved east to Moling, a large number of believers also moved with him, resulting in a population increase of nearly 100,000 in the Jiangdong area. His influence is evident.

    And the Five Pecks of Rice Road gradually spread to the Central Plains and Jiangdong. Zhou Yu also secretly ordered Jingwu Guards to monitor them closely to prevent them from gathering people to cause trouble and disrupt the place.  Thirteen years later, Zhang Luyu died in Moling and was buried in the east of the city. Zhou Yu generously compensated him.  Zhang Lu's eldest son Zhang Fu, second son Zhang Guang and other seven brothers continued to preach, but they improved the Five Dou Rice Road to cater to the imperial court's rule over the people. However, its influence continued to shrink.  As time goes by, the Five Dou Rice Road gradually disappears from the world.  This is an afterthought.

    Let us focus our attention on the Land of Abundance.

    Hanzhong changed hands and Bashu was shaken. Although Liu Zhang was gentle in nature and unwilling to waste people and money to expand his territory, it only showed that he was content with the status quo and was not a mediocre person.  In the past few days, Liu Zhang took the initiative to convene his subordinates for several discussions regarding matters in Hanzhong. The topic was naturally how to deal with the great changes in Hanzhong.

    On this day, five people from Yizhou, including Wang Lei, chief clerk Huang Quan, Biejia Zhang Song, Zhonglang general Zhang Ren, and Wu Yi, were recruited into the mansion by Liu Zhang. After the discussion, they all left the mansion and either mounted or mounted their horses.  sedan, ready to go home.

    Huang Quan was a native of Langzhong, Brazil. He was a county official when he was young. He had a quick mind and practiced martial arts. He was recruited by Liu Zhang to be the chief administrator and was quite trustworthy.  Not long after he got on the horse and rode, he suddenly pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and rushed after Wang Lei's sedan chair.go.  The two mounted guards were stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, whipped their horses, and followed Huang Quan.

    Wang Lei was sitting in the sedan with his eyes closed and concentrating. When he heard Huang Quan calling him, he quickly opened the curtain of the sedan and replied: "Gong Heng, please come to my house and sit for a while." After speaking, Wang Lei pointed with his finger.  There was a large sedan five or six feet in front of him, and Zhang Song's short figure was faintly visible in the sedan.

    Huang Quan understood, so he slowed down his horse and deliberately landed a distance behind Wang Lei's sedan. When Zhang Song and his entourage disappeared at the corner of the street, he turned a corner and walked a few dozen feet forward. They were Wang Lei's  The mansion.

    Unknown to Huang Quan, Zhang Song, who was sitting in the sedan chair, had already noticed his behavior, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Song's mouth.

    Wang Lei was a man from Guanghan. He was always known for his loyalty and staunchness, and won the trust of Liu Yan, the former Yizhou pastor. Therefore, after Liu Zhang took over, he continued to reuse him and was in charge of Yizhou literature and the investigation of illegal affairs.  Wang Lei also offended many officials because of this, especially officials with native Yizhou origins such as Zhang Song, who had serious conflicts.

    "Gong Heng, are you here because your lord wants to send people to Jiangdong to pay tribute?" Wang Lei looked at Huang Quan with bright eyes.

    Huang Quan has a straightforward personality, so he said bluntly: "Exactly! I think your lord's move is inappropriate! I think Bashu is a country of abundance, with a fertile land thousands of miles away, a rich people and a strong country, with a household registration of millions, and more than 200,000 armored men! And!  Taking advantage of the dangerous terrain and fighting vigorously, we can completely repel the enemy from outside the country! My lord is considerate of the people and does not use weapons. It is fine to protect the state and defend itself as the top priority. However, if a wolf is introduced into the house, I am afraid that Bashu will be over!"

    Wang Lei's expression changed and he asked: "My lord, sending people to pay tribute is the duty of a minister. Why did Gong Heng say something to lure the wolf into the house?"

    Huang Quan sighed and said: "What kind of person is Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao who are on the mission? He is short-lived, dissipated and ignorant of moral integrity. He is talented but ambitious. I have heard that this man is dissatisfied with his lord. He sighs in private that great ambitions are hard to achieve. Today, Zhou Gongjin is powerful  Taotian, who holds the emperor's orders and refuses to obey, treats capable people regardless of their origins, treats virtuous and corporal people with courtesy, I am only afraid that if Zhang Song goes here, he will betray his master and seek glory!"
