- Chapter 233: Zhang Lu¡¯s Bond
"Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu"
Liu Bei silently recited this name, his expression filled with gloom.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Bei said: "Zhang Lu has been able to dominate Hanzhong for more than ten years. He must have some tricks. I wonder if he will agree to my attachment to him."
Zhuge Liang smiled faintly: "Don't worry, my lord, just like Lu Bu, Cao Cao and Liu Biao back then, as long as my lord can bring them enough benefits, there is no reason why the other party should not be tempted."
Liu Bei hesitated.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang comforted him and said, "Don't worry, my lord. When Liu Feng entered Shu, Liang had already made arrangements secretly. This time, he will be rewarded by relying on Zhang Lu in the north."
Xu Shu also said: "As of now, we can only rely on Kong Ming's plan. Lord, it is not too late. We must make a decision as soon as possible."
Liu Bei thought about it again and again, and after weighing the situation at hand, he could only sigh softly: "Okay, it seems that's all. Send my order to withdraw the troops."
After making a helpless decision, the tens of thousands of exhausted troops in Luocheng began to withdraw to the north of Zitong that day.
There is actually no danger to defend Zitong County. Now that Liu Feng has newly gained Chengdu, his momentum is at its peak. Liu Bei thinks it is difficult to compete with him.
Therefore, Liu Bei had to abandon several plain cities such as Fu County, Mianzhu, and Zitong City, and his army withdrew north to Jiameng Pass.
At the same time, Zhang Fei, who was stationed in Brazil County, also received an order to shrink the front line and concentrate his troops to retreat to Langzhong, the headquarters of the Brazilian government at Daba Pass, and form a horned force with Jiameng's Liu Bei's main force.
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Hanzhong, Nanzheng.
Above the main hall, the dark, short and fat middle-aged man was looking at the silk book in his hand with a deep brow.
Although there is not much exquisite calligraphy in every handwriting on the silk book, there is a rough and heroic feeling between each stroke.
This silk letter was written by Liu Xuande, the famous uncle of the Han Dynasty.
¡°Moreover, this is a request for help.
Zhang Lu was very excited.
That was Liu Xuande, a man who was called by Cao Gong as "the hero of the world, the only heroes in the world are the emperor and Cao Cao".
Nowadays, it is such a world-famous hero who is so depressed that he wants to rely on me, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong.
Zhang Lu, who had never been out of this poor mountain ravine in his life, although he was known as a prince and had dominated Hanzhong for more than ten years, he had actually never seen much of the world, and he had only a few famous people under his command.
But now, as if his spring has arrived, first Ma Chao from Xiliang came back, and now Uncle Liu Huang.
Zhang Lu was indeed a little proud.
"One is the one who killed Cao Cao so much that he almost died in the Wei River, and the other is a hero as famous as Cao Cao. If these two people become my deployment, Zhang Lu, it will be such a glorious thing."
"My lord, Liu Xuande's return is a great joy."
The man who spoke at the bottom of the stairs was smiling, his eyes narrowed into a thin line.
The person who spoke was Zhang Lu¡¯s counselor Yang Song.
The Yang family is a common surname among the gentry in Hanzhong. Although Zhang Lu governed the country with the Five Pecks of Rice teaching, he knew very well that this thing could only fool ordinary people who did not know a single Chinese character. The key to his dominance in Hanzhong for more than ten years was that he Know how to win over the local nobles.
The Yang family is the most important surname in Hanzhong. Yang Song is an important counselor under Zhang Lu, and his younger brother Yang Bai is in charge of the military. The Yang family is very powerful in Zhang Lu's regime.
As soon as he heard what Yang Song said, Zhang Lu became even more excited and asked hurriedly: "How do you say this?"
Yang Song stroked his withered beard and said: "There are three reasons. First, Liu Xuande is a domestic hero. If he can surrender, his lord's reputation will be greatly increased. Second, Liu Xuande currently occupies Jiameng Pass and the land to the north of Langzhong. They are all the key points leading to Xichuan. Now they are owned by the lord without any effort. They will be very helpful to the lord in taking Xichuan south in the future"
Zhang Lu nodded repeatedly as he listened. You must know that all these years, what he has been thinking about day and night is to capture Xichuan.
????????????? Although Liu Zhang¡¯s fellow was incompetent, he controlled the important pass cities of Jiameng, Baishui, and Langzhong in northern Sichuan and went south. Relying on the favorable geographical location, Liu Zhang easily withstood several of his attacks.
If we can obtain these strategic locations, our road to Shu will be smoother.
" As for this, Liu Xuande has thirty to forty thousand elite soldiers in his hands, and good generals include Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others. If these fierce and bear warriors can be driven by the Lord, in the future, not to mention conquering Xichuan, it will be possible to pacify the world. Possibly. With this, does the lord have any doubts about Liu Xuande's submission?"
Yang Song talked about the three benefits eloquently, and Zhang Lu was elated and said happily: "In Zishou's opinion, should I accept Liu Xuande's affiliation?"
"Of course I have to accept it."
Yang Song said firmly, "Liu Xuande is a hero in the country. Since he came to surrender, the lord must not neglect it, so as not to lose the hearts of the people. Now Xuande has said in the letter that he is coming to Yangpingguan and wants to visit the lord in Hanzhong in person. The lord is ready Go out of Yangpingguan in person to meet Xuande, so that you can show your lord's courtesy and courtesy to the virtuous corporal."
When Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao actually traveled three hundred miles to Yecheng to greet Liu Bei. Given his noble status as the fourth and third Duke of Yuan Benchu, he was able to treat him with such courtesy, so Zhang Lu thought that he should do the same.
"Okay, then I will personally lead three thousand cavalry and go west out of Yangping Pass to meet Liu Xuande." Zhang Lu made the decision after taking the case.
As soon as he finished speaking, a person at the bottom of the stairs suddenly left the office and shouted: "Lord, this is absolutely inappropriate."
The man who spoke was tall, muscular, and as majestic as a lion. An angular face, the facial features are well matched, the dark curly hair is draped loosely on the shoulders, and the whole body exudes the rough and boldness of a Northland man.
This person is none other than Ma Mengqi, the former Xiliang Lion.
At the Battle of Tongguan, ten of the princes of Ma Chao and Han Sui were defeated by Cao Cao. After that, although Ma Chao relied on his prestige in Xiliang to rise again several times, he was eventually defeated by Xia Houyuan.
With no choice but to defeat, Ma Chao had no choice but to take his younger brother Ma Dai, his general Pang De and more than a thousand cavalry, and went south to Hanzhong to defect to Zhang Lu.
At this time, Ma Chao had just defected to Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu admired the Xiliang Lion very much and was currently considering whether to marry his daughter to Ma Chao to win his heart.
The relationship between his principal and his ministers can be said to be in the "honeymoon" period.
Ma Chao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said "It's absolutely wrong", which was so powerful that it immediately made Zhang Lu's excited and proud expression become nervous.
As for Yang Song, his expression suddenly turned unhappy.
"Why did Meng Qi say this?" Zhang Lu asked hurriedly.
Ma Chao walked to the middle of the hall, his Adam's apple squirming, and loudly said: "Liu Bei relied on Lu Bu, and Lu Bu died, relied on Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was defeated, and relied on Liu Biao, and Jingzhou was destroyed. Every prince he had ever relied on was either defeated or had his property taken away from him. The recent Liu Zhang is an excellent example. If the lord accepts such an ominous person as his subordinate, wouldn't it be inviting a wolf into the house?"
Ma Chao's words were like a ladle of cold water, pouring on Liu Zhang's forehead.
Most of the original excitement immediately dissipated.
Zhang Lu hesitated.
Seeing this, Yang Song immediately said: "Meng Qi is trying to inflict this crime. Yuan Shao was defeated because he abolished the elders and established the younger ones, which caused the disciples to kill each other.
A slave with the third surname of Lu Bu was desperate and was kindly taken in by Liu Xuande. However, he repaid his kindness and took back Xuzhou. Such dishonest and unjust people deserved their own death, and they had nothing to do with Xuande.
As for Liu Biao, Xuande was loyal to him during his lifetime. Later, Jingzhou was also obtained from Cao Cao, so how can he be said to have betrayed Liu Biao. "
Yang Song did not tire of his words and defended Liu Bei impassionedly, but what he said did make sense.
Zhang Lu¡¯s hesitant expression immediately became firm again.
Ma Chao's face became darker and darker, and he changed the topic and said: "Even so, Liu Xuande is a tyrant after all. If the lord meets with him in person, what will happen if he suddenly has evil thoughts to harm the lord and seize his Hanzhong inheritance? "
Zhang Lu's firm belief just now returned to hesitation as soon as he heard Ma Chao's words.
Yang Song sneered and said: "Xuande also said in the letter that he would only bring a hundred soldiers to meet the lord. Could it be that Meng Qi was worried that Liu Xuande would be stupid enough to bring only a hundred men to harm the lord and seize Hanzhong. ?"
"Okay, okay, I know you all have your thoughts in mind for me, so don't fight anymore."
Ma Chao and Yang Song had a private feud, which Zhang Lu also knew. The current quarrel between the two of them was somewhat mixed with personal emotions, and Zhang Lu couldn't bear to hear it.
The two people were scolded and immediately did not dare to say anything.
At this time, Zhang Lu turned his attention to another person below the steps and asked: "Zimao, what do you think about this matter?"
The person Zhang Lu asked was Yan Pu, the counselor under the tent.
This person is different from the Yang family. He was originally from Nanchong, Brazil. He worked as an official in Hanzhong in his early years. After Zhang Lu captured Hanzhong, he became a counselor under him.
Yan Pu did not have a complicated network of relationships in Hanzhong. He always offered suggestions and strategies, and was often able to speak impartially. Whenever Zhang Lu encountered an undecided matter, he was more fond of it.?Ask his opinion.
At this moment, Yan Pu, who had been listening to the argument for a long time, had already made a judgment in his heart.
When Zhang Lu asked, Yan Pu said: "The return of Xuande is beneficial to the lord, and the lord should accept him. But this person is a hero, so he must be on guard. Pu thought that the lord could take advantage of the opportunity of going out to Yangping Pass to welcome Liu Xuande back. In Nanzheng, use wealth and honor to put him under house arrest in Nanzheng, and then use his name to slowly annex his old tribe, and then use it for the public use. This is the best of both worlds."
Yan Pu¡¯s words spoke to Zhang Lu¡¯s heart. To be honest, he was really worried about becoming Lu Bu or Liu Biao¡¯s second best.
Regarding Yan Pu's plan, Yang Song had no objection, but Ma Chao said: "If the lord really wants to accept Liu Bei as his ally, then the lord will go to meet Liu Bei this time. Chao asked to go with him to protect the lord Zhou Quan, so that even if Liu Xuande has a heart Don¡¯t dare to act rashly even if it¡¯s bad.¡±
Zhang Lu was really moved by Ma Chao's heart to protect his master. He nodded slightly and said happily: "It's rare for Meng Qi to be so loyal. Okay, you can follow me and lead three thousand cavalry to go out together for a meeting." Let¡¯s meet Uncle Liu Huang.¡±
