Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

So, before Lu Yan's [-] troops had left the border of Sili, Zhang Lu had already sent envoys to Lu Yan's army, intending to discuss peace matters.

Now Zhang Lu just wants to do his best to keep his Five Dou Rice Sect, and begs Lu Yan not to attack him.

As for how much it will cost in the end, how much money and food will be spent, he doesn't care at all.

During the march, a soldier suddenly came to report, "Report! General! We have caught a spy!"

"A spy? Bring it up for questioning." Lu Yan replied.

"Here!"

The soldiers left quickly, and soon a middle-aged scribe was brought up by two soldiers.

Lu Yan saw that this person had an extraordinary demeanor, he didn't look like a spy, so he said, "Let him go."

After the scribe was released, he first moved his arms, and then respectfully saluted Lu Yan and said, "Yan Pu, a small man in the mountains, has seen Lu Huqi."

"Yan Pu. But Zhang Lu's history of meritorious service?"

Yan Pu was taken aback when he heard the words, then raised his head to look at Lu Yan in astonishment, and asked, "Lu Hussar also knows me?"

From Yan Pu's point of view, how could such an important court official like Lu Yan know such a small meritorious person like him?

Lu Yan nodded and replied: "Su asked Yan Gongcao to judge the situation and know how to advance and retreat."

After Yan Pu heard this, he knew that there was something in Lu Yan's words, and he might have already guessed his intention.

So, Yan Pu stopped going around in circles, and told Lu Yan his intention to come to negotiate a peace entrusted by Zhang Lu.

After hearing this, Lu Yan was silent for a moment before replying: "Zhang Lu wants to make peace with me, do you think it's possible?"

Yan Pu smiled wryly, and replied: "It's impossible that the whole world, except Xichuan and Hanzhong, is under the control of Emperor Cao. It is obviously impossible for Lu Hushi to give up such an opportunity to rule the world for mere money and food."

"You are also a sensible person." Lu Yan said with a smile.

"Thank you Lu Hushi for your compliment." Yan Pu bowed his hands and saluted, saying.

The two looked at each other for a moment, thinking about their own calculations.

According to Lu Yan,

He has cannons and other powerful siege weapons, even if Zhang Lu wanted to defend the city, it would be very difficult.The current situation is very unfavorable to Zhang Lu, Hanzhong is almost at stake, and it is reasonable for him to want to negotiate peace with himself.

But the question is, is it possible for an absolutely weak party to negotiate peace with an absolutely strong party?

What's more, now that we have reached the final stage of the unification war, no one will really give up such an opportunity just because of one or two soft words or some money.

"The unification of the world is the general trend. If Zhang Shijun wants to preserve the people of Hanzhong and his Five Dou Rice Religion, the only way is to return to the Hanting!" Before Lu Yan expressed his opinion on Yan Pu's words, Zhuge Liang on the side spoke first.

Zhuge Liang was quite right. There is only one last step left in the Long March, and it is impossible for anyone to give up at this point.

Of course, Yan Pu knew this well, but he was loyal to Zhang Lu, so he naturally wanted to solve Zhang Lu's problems.

Before Yan Pu could reply, Lu Yan said to him again: "My military adviser is right, you can bring this word back to Zhang Gongqi and ask him if he wants to bring the people to be buried in history together with his Five Dou Rice Religion In the dust of the world, or do you want to carry forward your sect?"

Wu Dou Mi Dao, also known as Zhengyi Dao, Tianshi Dao, Zhengyi Mengwei Zhidao, is the earliest sect of Taoism.

Lu Yan actually has a good impression of Taoism, an orthodox sect in China.

Taoists retreated to the deep mountains in prosperous times, and descended from the mountains to save the world in troubled times, which made countless people highly respect Taoism.

The TV station once broadcast a visiting program: a reporter visited a down-and-out Taoist temple in the middle of the mountain, and interviewed the only old Taoist in the temple.

The old Taoist priest grew up during the Anti-Japanese War. When he was 8 years old, his master and senior brothers went down to fight to protect the country from humiliation, and asked him to stay in the temple. He stayed alone in the Taoist temple for decades, waiting for the return of the master. When he turned white, his master and brother never came back, presumably he died in battle.

Mr. Lu Xun once said: People often hate monks, nuns, Muslims, and Christians, but not Taoists.The desolate Taoist temple and the pine-like old man just explained the deep meaning of this sentence to us, but such admirable Taoism is disappearing in the times.

This made Lu Yan feel regretful every time he thought about it.

At that time, Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao disrupted the world of the Han Dynasty. Wasn't it because the people of the Han Dynasty lacked a belief that was rooted in Zhengmiaohong but could actively guide the people?

If the essence of Taoism can be integrated into Wudoumi Cult in the future, wouldn't it be possible for the people today to gain peace of mind and avoid the intrusion of those evil spirits and heretics?

But Lu Yan will not encourage and advocate religious belief, because any sect that grows wildly will cause many problems.

It’s just that Wudou Rice Religion, as a branch of Taoism, can make it better, and at the same time allow it to develop believers under supervision, forming a kind of spiritual dependence that is beneficial to the people.Everything needs to be grasped to a certain degree, within this is a good thing, after a good thing will become a bad thing, this is what those in power need to consider and balance most.

Yan Pu glanced at Lu Yan in surprise. He never expected that Lu Yan would have a faint support for the Five Dou Rice Sect?

If this is the case, then Zhang Lu probably won't fight against Lu Yan.

"Huh~~" Yan Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and then saluted Lu Yan: "If Lu Huqi speaks, I will bring back three days at the latest with my lord, and I will definitely give you an answer!"

The corners of Lu Yan's mouth curled up slightly. He knew how attractive the conditions he offered would be to Zhang Lu, so he was not in a hurry.

"It's okay, I'll just wait for you for three days!"

"Thank you Lu Hussar! I will take my leave!"

Chapter 6 and Five

After seeing Yan Pu,

The speed of Lu Yan's army remained unchanged, and they were still marching towards Yangping Pass in an orderly manner.

For Lu Yan, the most important thing now is to win Hanzhong first, and Kou opens the northern gate to Xishu.

Ma Teng in Liangzhou is now assisted by Pang Tong, and he believes that the rebellions in other places will be put down soon.As for those Qiang Rong, they are pretty honest now, and Lu Yan's policy of benefiting the people and integration will soon be implemented in Liangzhou. I believe the spring of Liangzhou should not be far away.

The importance of Hanzhong's location is self-evident. It is not only the gateway to Bashu, but also the barrier for Bashu to enter Guanzhong.

As long as Hanzhong is guarded, Bashu will have no way to go north except to go east.

During the march, Ma Chao and Xu Shu accompanied Lu Yan.

At this time, Ma Chao was talking to Lu Yan about a series of "scenery stories" that he led the wolf riding battalion in Liangzhou.

However, Lu Yan was very satisfied with Ma Chao's performance. This guy not only helped Ma Teng pacify Xiliang, but also brought more than 1 soldiers from the Wolf Cavalry Battalion. When he returned, there were 5000 soldiers.

If Ma Chao hadn't acted too hastily in the final battle, the Wolf Cavalry Battalion should have retained more soldiers.

Xu Shu listened from the side, occasionally interjecting a few words. The more than one year experience in Liangzhou also made Xu Shu more calm and sophisticated.

"Very good, Liangzhou was pacified, Meng Qi and Yuan Zhi have made great contributions, and this time, if you follow me to take down Hanzhong and Western Shu, you will also leave your name in history." Lu Yan encouraged with a smile.

The name will go down in history!But anyone who is not salted fish must not be able to refuse such a temptation.

Ma Chao smiled so much that his teeth could not see his eyes, and now he was gearing up to fight again.

However, at this time Xu Shu suddenly poured cold water on Ma Chao, "Meng Qi, Hanzhong is likely to surrender directly. And the roads in the middle of Shu are rugged and narrow, and your cavalry seems useless!"

"Ah?!" Ma Chao opened his mouth and fell into a state of petrification in an instant, "It seems that it is true!"

"So, if you want to enter Shu, the horses will probably have to stay in Hanzhong."

Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "My brothers dismounted as one of the elite, as long as they don't leave both men and horses behind."

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Lu Yan showed a knowing smile,

After Ma Chao took revenge, his hostility seemed to have completely disappeared.With his ability, he will definitely be a famous general of Dahan's generation in the future! "

Not to mention Xu Shu, whether it is resourcefulness or leading troops, he is a superior figure, and he will also be a famous general with both civil and military skills.

Lu Yan sat on the white dragon horse, shaking his head, looking forward to the future, "There are so many awesome characters, I can enjoy life after unifying the big Han, I'm so happy!"

The army still took the dragon cavalry army led by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan as the vanguard.

After passing through Hechi, the Dragon Cavalry marched swiftly towards Yangping Pass.

At this moment, the dragon cavalry army led by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan has arrived at Yangping Pass.

Yangping Pass is built on the mountain, very dangerous, guarded by Zhang Lu's general Yang Ang.Although Yangping Pass cannot be compared with Hulao Pass and other dangerous passes in the world, it is also the gateway of Hanzhong, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If there were no siege weapons such as cannons, and Zhang Lu vowed to resist to the death, with Lu Yan's half-and-half cavalry team, he would have to pay a very high price to win Yangping Pass.

Moreover, Lu Yan still needs to rely on these people to win the entire Yizhou. If the loss is too large in Hanzhong, then Yizhou doesn't have to think about it.

Although Lu Yan had the topographic map of Western Shu presented by Zhang Song in his hand, the battle was still full of difficulties.

The ruggedness of the road to Shu is well known to the whole world, and there is no shortage of generals in Shu who are good at fighting. Facing Yizhou, which has been prepared in advance, Lu Yan did not dare to take it lightly.

Nanzheng.

Zhang Lu is in a very bad mood now.

Last year, my younger brother went to Liangzhou for a blind date, but was slaughtered by "Han Sui".

In a rage, Zhang Lu sent generals Yang Ang and Yang Ren to help Ma Teng attack Han Sui, but Han Sui repaired him.

The army returned to Hanzhong in embarrassment, and before he had recuperated for a long time, that calf Liu Zhang started to quarrel with Zhang Lu again.

When Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang fought back and forth, they were surprised that Cao Cao had already taken Jiangdong and Liaodong. It seemed that they were the only two lonely orphans left.

Sure enough, not long after Liangzhou was pacified, Cao Cao began to attack Yizhou and Hanzhong.

What's even more frightening is that the one who led the army to attack Hanzhong and Xichuan was Lu Yan, Lu Changsheng, a hussar general who had never been defeated before!

To be honest, when Zhang Lu heard that Lu Yan led Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Xia Houlan, Ma Chao, Xu Shu and others to march towards Hanzhong, if his generals hadn't persuaded him to persevere, he would have surrendered directly.

A few days ago, Zhang Lu discussed with Yan Pu, the chief counselor under his command, to see if he could use money to negotiate peace with Cao Jun.

Although Yan Pu had only been away for five days, Zhang Lu had already started to fidget. He was afraid that he would see Yan Pu's bloody head when he opened his eyes, and that Lu Yan's big knife would already be on his neck when he opened his eyes.

What worries Zhang Lu even more is that he is very afraid that the Five Dou Rice Cult established by his father Zhang Ling will be lost in his own hands.

Speaking of which, Zhang Lu is already the third-generation leader of Wudoumi Taoism. He has both profound knowledge and good management skills.

Because of this, Zhang Lu was able to form his own sphere of influence in the Hanzhong area, survive in the gap between Liu Zhang and Xiliang, and spread the teachings of Wudoumi Taoism in many places.

There are many believers in Wudoumi Taoism, because only five Doumi is needed to enter this sect.

In addition, Zhang Lu adopted a policy of benefiting and benefiting the people in the Hanzhong area.Therefore, even though the world has been in chaos for more than 20 years, the Hanzhong area can be regarded as a rare place where wars are rare and where the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Similarly, the stability of Hanzhong also attracted people from surrounding areas and even further afield to seek refuge, and also let more people know about Wudoumi Taoism.

Before Yan Pu returned to Nanzheng, a messenger brought the news that Zhao Yun and Xiahoulan's army had arrived at Yangping Pass.

Although Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan had only [-] soldiers under their command, and all of them were cavalry, this still made Zhang Lu feel stressed, and even had trouble sleeping and eating.

In the study, Zhang Lu was a little overwhelmed with dealing with many affairs in Zhonghanzhong.

As Lu Yan's army approached, people everywhere panicked, and Zhang Lu felt that he was a little bit overwhelmed.

Yan Pu came to Zhang Lu's study in a hurry, which made Zhang Lu surprised and filled with surprise.

Yan Pu returned to Nanzheng as quickly as possible, and finally released Zhang Lu who was suffering from waiting.

"Zimao! You're back!" Zhang Lu greeted him with great joy, held Yan Pu's hands tightly, and asked expectantly, "Zimao, did Lu Yan agree to our terms?"

"I'm sorry, my lord, Lu Huanqi refused to negotiate peace with us," Yan Pu replied awkwardly.

"Ah!" Hearing this, Zhang Lu felt struck by lightning, staggered back a few steps, and leaned against the table to stabilize his figure.

However, Yan Pu suddenly glanced at Zhang Lu with a very strange look, and said: "Lu Hussar refused the peace talks and asked us to surrender, but his words revealed a very favorable condition for you. "

"What good conditions can there be?" Zhang Lu asked feebly, and now he felt that the sky was about to collapse.

"Listen to the meaning in Lu Hussar's words. He seems to support your lord's Five Dou Rice Religion."

"I should have known earlier that negotiating conditions with people like Lu Yan is tantamount to seeking skins from tigers.

and many more? !

What did you just say? ! ! "

Chapter 6 and Six Opportunities!Can return to the innate realm!

Yan Pu knew that his master regarded Wudou Rice Sect more than his life, so after he heard that Lu Yan actually expressed support for Wudou Rice Sect, he knew that it was not long before he changed his sect.

Because the Eastern Han Dynasty experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, people at this time, especially officials, did not have a good impression of this kind of missionary.

Zhang Lu's Five Dou Rice Religion is more popular in Hanzhong, and if he preaches a little farther away, he will almost always be caught as a remnant of the Yellow Turban Party.

"If there is an important member of the imperial court like Lu Yan who endorses my sect, wouldn't that have the opportunity to spread the Five Dou Rice Cult all over the world?" Thinking of this, Zhang Lu's heart suddenly became hot.

Compared with carrying forward the Five Dou Rice Religion and spreading its teachings all over the world, there is really no value in nostalgia for such a mere Hanzhong.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lu took Yan Pu's hands again and asked, "Is Lu Hushi really supportive of my Five Dou Rice Sect?"

Yan Pu didn't dare to talk too much, but just replied: "There is indeed such a meaning in what Lu Huqi said, but there is no clear statement whether he really supports it."

Zhang Lu pondered for a long time when he heard the words, and after about a cup of tea, he suddenly raised his head and said to Yan Pu: "Can you trouble Zimao to meet Lu Huanqi again? Just say that I, Zhang Lu, want to have a private meeting with Lu Huanqi alone!"

"My lord, this is too dangerous!" Yan Pu said in surprise, "Then Lu Hussar is one of the best masters in the world. Go and meet him alone. If he uses force, you will be powerless to resist!"
