Great Wei Nengchen

"Yan Jijiu must not be rude. Hanzhong is a state of etiquette. How can we treat guests like this and punish you for copying the "Tao Te Ching" ten times to atone for the crime of speaking against each other!"

"promise!"

"Mr. Ziyi is here this time, do you have a letter from Wei Wang Qiansui, or Xiao Da Sima? I have heard for a long time that the two heroes are peerless, and this celestial master also has the heart to climb up. It is best to turn the fight into a treasure!"

Zhang Lu came forward to mediate the quarrel. Now that the two armies are confronting each other and their swords are on the verge of breaking out, even if they talk about hype falling from the sky and golden lotuses springing up from the ground, it is not as useful as an arrow cluster. In the end, it is strength that speaks.

Zhang Lu is also very clear about the situation of the imperial court. The emperor of Han Dynasty is a puppet, and the military and political power is in the hands of Cao Cao. Yat!

"Zhang Tianshi has a profound morality and meritorious service in educating the people of Hanzhong. Wei Wang Qiansui and Xiao Da Sima also have a heart to make friends. I hope that Tianshi can go to Xuchang to talk about the past and the present, and have a good time with wine!

This is a letter written by my family's great Sima to Master Zhang Tianshi, everything is included in it, I hope I will live up to my good intentions. "

Jiang Qian went up to the pole and invited Zhang Lu to Xuchang, so that he could submit to the imperial court. Then he took out a letter and handed it over with both hands. On the envelope was a line of big words: "Chunyang Guanzhu - Wushouzi wrote before Zhang Tianshi:"

The pen is vigorous, flamboyant and phoenix dancing, and has the spirit of gold and iron horses!

"Wuliang Tianzun, fellow Daoist Wuchouzi, has a heart. If there is a chance in the future, I would like to sit cross-legged with you, drink tea and discuss Taoism, and discuss the mysteries of heaven and earth, and the principles of the universe!

Being friends with each other, and confirming the truth of cultivation, maybe we can achieve the Dao together, hand in hand to become a fairy, and from then on, we will not be bound by the flesh, and the Nascent Soul will travel all over the world. Isn't it a great joy in life? "

Generally, when high-ranking people write letters to each other, they first list their official positions and titles, such as Da Sima-Da Sinog-Wushou County Marquis...before writing to a certain adult!

Xiao Yi was uncharacteristically, he didn't mention the official position and title, but brought up the Taoist title, which made Zhang Lu quite satisfied, and his goodwill soared in a straight line, and he even bowed to the northern Jishou!

Taoism is the native religion of China. It inherits the blood of the ancient primitive religion. Ideology!

Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taiping Dao, Tianshi Dao, and countless branches have evolved. Unfortunately, the former was too ambitious and wanted to overthrow the Han court, but was suppressed by force. Then it disappeared.

After the collapse of Taiping Dao, Zhang Lu regarded himself as the only orthodox Taoist school, and he only wanted to spread it, promote the teachings of heavenly teachers, and establish a political power. Unfortunately, his ability is limited, not to mention the whole world, even Bashu can't be taken down!

Especially in the past ten years, the Buddhist forces have expanded rapidly, recruiting countless believers, and seriously threatening the living space of Taoism. Zhang Lu saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he had nothing to do. It's at a disadvantage!

Three years ago, Xiao Yi set up a clever plan to severely attack the Buddhist forces, demolished hundreds of temples, forced tens of thousands of monks and nuns to return to secular life, confiscated countless temple properties, and hardly heard the sound of Buddhist singing in the Central Plains...

After the Buddha extermination incident, Taoists all over the world rejoiced and encouraged Xiao Yi even more, calling him "Taoist No. 1, the guardian of Taoism". disciple!

The news of the extermination of the Buddha spread to Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu also broke the prohibition on alcohol. He held a banquet for three days and three nights, and celebrated with various ministries and grand sacrifices. He had an idea: "Since I am not capable enough, I should give up For those who are virtuous, as long as they can glorify Taoists, who is different from being a celestial master? '

........................

Xiao Yi usually writes memorials and letters, rarely more than [-] words, and they are all straight to the point, simple and clear. Outsiders say that he is a noble man who speaks little and focuses on simplicity. Only a few confidantes understand that Da Sima has a habit --Lazy!

Laziness in writing letters, laziness in going to court, laziness in dealing with trivial government affairs, and laziness in being an emperor...to be a carefree Taoist priest is Xiao's original aspiration!

This time was an exception. Xiao Yi wrote seven or eight thousand words eloquently. Starting from Pangu's opening of the world, he talked about the gods and gods in the sky, talked about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and wrote a long story about the Taoist subjugation of demons... …

Zhang Lu who watched it was very addicted, thinking that he had found a confidant in life, but unfortunately the story was not finished, which made people feel itchy and unbearable.

However, at the end of the letter, Xiao Yi persuaded Zhang Lu in the most sincere tone to put the overall situation first and submit to the imperial court, so that the people of Hanzhong would not suffer from swords and soldiers, and listed three conditions:

First, Zhang Lu was appointed as a servant, one of the nine ministers, and [-] households were granted the title of Marquis of Anle Township and [-] households in Shiyi. The private property is properly protected, and the imperial court rewards gold and silver, fields and houses, and servants in addition!

Second, those who intend to serve the court can go to Xuchang City to serve as officials in the Hanzhong Group, and they will be hired according to their talents. Those who do not want to be officials can return to their hometowns. stand up!

Third, after Cao Jun entered Hanzhong, he did not kill anyone or rob anything, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and they were exempted from taxes and corvee for three years. When they attacked Bashu later, they did not recruit troops from Hanzhong!

This is one of the southwestern strategy that Xiao Yi decided after discussing with Cao Cao. He wanted to use political and economic interests to take down Hanzhong and then the land of Bashu without bloodshed. He would rather spend more money than die!

"Fellow Wuchouzi's sincerity, my celestial master has already felt it, and I am [-]% grateful, but the matter mentioned in the letter is serious, it concerns hundreds of thousands of souls in Hanzhong, and my celestial master dare not make a hasty decision!

Mr. Ziyi, please stay here for now, let me discuss it and reply after two days. No matter what the final result is, I will never hurt Mr. a single hair! "

"So I am waiting for good news!"

…………

Zhang Lu asked Jiang Gan to lead him, put him in a proper place, serve him with good food and drink, and then spread the letter around, hoping to hear the opinions of the big guys. Facing the huge pressure of Cao Jun, should he fight or make peace?

In all honesty, the three conditions listed by Xiao Yi are already very generous, and Zhang Lu also understands that the weak Hanzhong Group cannot compete with the Caoying Group, even if there are dangers in the mountains and rivers, it will only delay its demise It's time!

However, the Zhang family has gone through three generations and has painstakingly managed Hanzhong for decades, so it is a bit unwilling to hand over the foundation to others. Moreover, in Xiao Yi's letter, military affairs, politics, and economy are mentioned, but the clan issue is not mentioned. It is also what Zhang Lu cares most about...

"The terrain in Qinling Mountains is dangerous, and the plank roads are rough and difficult to walk. As long as you send a small number of troops to guard, Cao Jun has millions of people, and he can't even fly over. The heavenly masters can't surrender!"

"That's right, I'd rather be a chicken head than a cow queen, even if I'm one of the Nine Ministers, I still have to bow my knees to others. How can I have the joy of dominating one side and being free?"

…………

Yang Ang and Yang Renju are famous generals in Hanzhong, and they are also staunch main fighters. They immediately took the case and wanted to fight Cao Jun to the death. Zhang Hui, Yan Pu and a dozen Jijiu all supported their opinions!

With [-] elite soldiers and dangerous terrain, victory may not be sure, and self-protection is more than enough. Even if Cao Jun really comes, he can rely on the solid Nanzheng City and the Daba Mountains behind him. How can he win without a fight? drop it?

"Since the king of Wei raised his troops in Yanzhou, he has wiped out Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Han Sui, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Cong and other princes from all walks of life. The barbarians from all directions have surrendered. Now they occupy the Central Plains. If you can compete with it, it is better to surrender as soon as possible!

Xiao Da Sima - Invincible in attack and invincible in battle, many heroes are in his hands, if he is an enemy, I am afraid that the people in Hanzhong will be ruined, and we will not have good results, I hope Master Tianshi thinks twice! "

…………

Brothers Yang Song and Yang Bai belong to the sect of descendants. They think that there is no hope of winning if they fight big with small things. It is better to take the initiative to submit to the imperial court, so that the prosperity and wealth can be preserved at the top, and the people of Li can be safe at the bottom!

Zhang Wei and a dozen of Jijiu also believed that peace is the most important thing, at least they can negotiate again. These people have been to Xuchang City, participated in the competition of a hundred schools of thought, and they still remember the wonderful method of Ghost Face Xiao Lang!

Now that they voluntarily submit to the imperial court, they can still keep their glory and wealth. If they continue to stubbornly resist, I'm afraid that their heads will turn into 'skeleton lamps' sooner or later, and it will be too late for regrets at that time!

One side is fighting, the other side is making peace, and the two sides are fighting with each other, and they are not willing to give in. They almost knocked down the roof of the Spirit Palace...

"Everyone's words are reasonable, and they are all for the future of Hanzhong. Let me let the celestial master make a divination to see what God's will is. Is it war or peace?"

After listening to everyone's opinions, Zhang Lu pondered for a while, and walked to the Qizhen Hall behind him. In the past, when he encountered embarrassing things, he would ask the sky, and there must be a clever plan in the future!

The explanation to the outside world is that the celestial master has profound magic power, can communicate with the Supreme Lord, and then get the inspiration of the gods to solve all difficult things!

However, there are also legends that Zhang Lu secretly raised a counselor in the Palace of the Seven Trues. No one knows the origin of his name, and all the clever schemes in the past were all from this person!

Chapter 1457 If you want to take Bashu, you must conquer Hanzhong first ([-])

The Qizhen Temple is located in the northwest corner of the inner city--the location is remote, the environment is quiet, and the guards are extremely strict. There are [-] gold-armored warriors stationed outside, patrolling day and night.

Zhang Lu once had a concubine who was a favorite, and he was curious for a while, and wanted to go to the Qizhen Palace to have a look, but when Zhang Lu knew about it, he drew his sword and killed it himself. Also appeared one after another...
