Han counter current

"Okay, with Xiaozhi here, I can sit back and relax."

Hearing what Fazheng said, Chen Feng was naturally delighted. If he could win Hanzhong, Chen Feng's strength could be regarded as a step up.

"To be honest, my lord, the key to winning Hanzhong still lies in Zhang Lu. If Zhang Lu is willing to surrender, I wonder how the lord will arrange him?"

During this period of time, Fazheng has been busy in Hanzhong and is very familiar with the situation in Hanzhong. However, if he wants to occupy Hanzhong, some things must be dealt with.

"What about Zhang Lu? Well, I know he is a talented person who can manage such a peaceful place in a troubled world. To be honest, I admire him very much.

Moreover, he integrated many religions in Hanzhong, and created Taoism with five buckets of rice, which is not a small contribution to our Han nationality.

If he is willing to surrender, I will definitely protect his Zhang family's prosperity for a hundred years. In addition, I also plan to let him be the Taoist national teacher.

Some things, I wonder if you have heard of them?There is a Buddha in the west, and this teaching has been introduced into our Han territory.

I heard that there are some Hu people in the north who believe in this religion. However, this religion is good and bad, especially for us Han people, it is even more bad.

I hope to form a local religion, to teach the people, to stabilize the country, not to make my Han people become slaves, and not to let my Han children lose their blood. "

Thinking of the Buddhism of later generations, Chen Feng felt angry.To be sure, Buddhism had certain benefits for rulers.

However, some statements in Buddhist teachings made it difficult for him to agree.In particular, there is a saying in later generations that Buddhism retreats in troubled times, and monks in prosperous times go down the mountain.

Someone else wrote a doggerel, kneeling in front of the Buddha for 3000 years, but I didn't see my Buddha's heart pity, and the dust covered the Buddha's eyes, so it turned out that I didn't invest in incense money.

This meaning couldn't be more obvious. Furthermore, all the Buddha statues in the past dynasties are all shining with golden light. Could it be that the Buddha is also such a vain person?

For all these reasons, Chen Feng has a heartfelt rejection of Buddhism, so he wants to promote the local religion.

In the current world, there are so few masters who have made great contributions to the development of Taoism, and Zhang Lu is one of them.

"Since this is the case, then the subordinate understands that it would be best if the lord can accommodate Zhang Lu. I remember that General Meng Qi under the lord's command has a relationship with Zhang Lu's daughter.

Just taking this opportunity to propose marriage to Zhang Lu can be regarded as giving him a step down, what does the lord think? "

"Haha, wonderful, so Zhang Lu should be more at ease. Although I will take his Hanzhong, I will not kill him.

Well, Xiaozhi's suggestion is good. Since it is a marriage proposal, there must be a matchmaker. Xiaozhi thinks, who should be sent? "

"I'm Xinlai, and I don't have the merits of size. If General Hussars doesn't mind, I'm willing to go to Hanzhong to facilitate this matter."

Mu Fu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and begged for orders. Originally, Chen Feng thought that Fazheng or Zhuge Jun would do this job.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly indifferent Mufu was also so eager to do meritorious service.Moreover, his eagerness to make meritorious deeds also proved that he was sincerely relying on Chen Feng.

"Here, sir, whether you need to rest when you first come here, this matter can be discussed in the long run, and you don't have to be so tired."

It's not that Chen Feng doesn't believe in Mufu, it's just that he saw this person for the first time, and he had never heard of his name before, and he didn't know his ability.

"My lord, don't worry, brother Mu is very talented, eloquent, and he is best at combining vertical and horizontal skills. With him as an envoy to Hanzhong, the matter is half completed."

Fazheng also saw Chen Feng's worry, but he naturally knew that Mubu was brought by him and what his ability was. Of course he wanted to explain to Chen Feng at this time.

The so-called art of combining vertical and horizontal lines is actually a saying in the Warring States period. From Chen Feng's understanding, the Mufu in front of him should be an outstanding diplomatic talent, and his eloquence must be excellent.

This is really a bit unrecognizable, Mufou looks cold and doesn't talk much, it's really hard for Chen Feng to connect him with the word "diplomat".

"In this case, there is Mr. Lao. Come here and send fifty personal guards to escort Mr. Mufu to Hanzhong.

Tell the soldiers that for this mission, Mr. Mufu's order will be respected. If Mr. Mufu loses half a hair, they don't have to come back. "

There is a saying that doubts people do not use them, and employing people does not doubt them.Chen Feng absolutely believed in Fazheng, and Fazheng recommended Mufou so much, Chen Feng naturally would not neglect the other party.

"Thank you General Hussars. It will take at least one month. I will definitely send back the news. Just wait here."

Seeing the handsome back of the other party, Chen Feng had more doubts in his heart.We just met each other, so we went to work like this.

Moreover, the other party called him Hussar General, which meant that Mufu didn't seem to fully agree with Chen Feng, but Fazheng had a face full of confidence, and seemed to trust Mufu very much.

Chapter 602 Planning Hanzhong 2

Chen Feng is staring at Hanzhong at the moment, no doubt he wants to acquire this strategically important area through non-military means. After all, if he wins Hanzhong, he can get his hands on Yizhou.

The most important thing is that Hanzhong has been far away from the flames of war these years, and it can be described as a paradise. The food and supplies here must be rich.

It's just that Zhang Lu is not as simple as he appears on the surface. Many people think he is a mediocre person, but they ignore that he is a powerful character who grew up from the bottom and then took charge of one party.

However, Fazheng seemed very confident. Maybe he had done enough arrangements in Hanzhong, or maybe he had information that other people didn't know.

"Xiao Zhi, this Hanzhong is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Zhang Lu is the governor of Hanzhong and the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect. If he is determined to defend it, it will not be easy for our army to go south."

In the evening, Chen Feng and Fa were talking by candlelight, and he was still a little worried about the plan to surrender Zhang Lu.

"My lord is very worried, as usual, it would be really difficult to win Hanzhong, but everything is not absolute, especially now.

It is well known that Zhang Lu wins over the people of Hanzhong with his teachings, and most of his soldiers are followers. However, there is one thing that the Lord may not know.

Zhang Lu was born at the bottom of the class and knew the sufferings of the people. He has been in charge of the Five Dou Rice Sect for many years, and there are countless people alive.

In addition, Zhang Lu has no ambition to dominate the world. What he wants to do most is to do his own work on the Five Dou Rice Sect, and at the same time help more people.

Otherwise, the Yizhou army has repeatedly invaded these years, why did Zhang Lu just repel and not counterattack.When Xiliang was in chaos, he had a chance to take it, but he didn't send troops. "

Hearing Fazheng's explanation, Chen Feng understood the key point. To convince a person, he had to start with his character. Zhang Lu was actually not a qualified prince.

He sat in his current position due to a mistake. In fact, he himself was very contradictory.

Furthermore, Zhang Lu has no ambitions, so he has no intention of making progress, but among the soldiers under his command, those with lofty ideals who want to climb up and gain fame in troubled times are definitely unwilling to see this situation.

Therefore, there must be many contradictions within Hanzhong, and this is probably the starting point of Fazheng's plan to take Hanzhong.

"Also, my lord, the most important thing is that Zhang Lu seems to be terminally ill. It is reported that he can live for three to five years at most."

"What, there is such a thing?"

The news that Fazheng said was explosive. If Zhang Lu was really terminally ill, then the possibility of being sent to Hanzhong was indeed very high.

"No wonder, no wonder, I said, it turns out so..."

In an instant, Chen Feng thought of Zhang Lu in history. When he occupied Hanzhong, he surrendered to Cao Cao without resistance. In this way, apart from Zhang Lu's knowledge of current affairs, perhaps his body is also the key reason.

If a person knows that he is about to die, he may lose interest in power, desire and other things that the world most wants to obtain in an instant.

Especially Zhang Lu, who has experienced too many hardships, tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and then held a high position and was in charge of one side.

When he was about to die, what he cared most about was often the deepest things hidden in his heart.For example, he doesn't want to be a prince, but just wants to be the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect who saves the world and the people.

"In this way, the chance is great, Xiaozhi, you are now fully responsible for this matter, assisting Mr. Mufu in Hanzhong.
