Chapter 260: Five Dou Rice Sect

The law and the law cannot be used, and the emptiness is not empty. --------Northern song dynasty. Zhang Boduan "Xijiang Moon"

It is said that Ma Chao and Chen Long set up an ambush to break Zhang Wei and Yang Ang between Yangping Pass and Nanzheng, and then pursued them in a big way, broke Yangping Pass again, and captured Zhang Wei. Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Dai and others were all covered in pickaxes, helped their father's coffin, and came to Chen Long to ask to kill Zhang Wei and pay tribute to Ma Teng.

Zhang Wei was tied up by five flowers, knelt on the ground, and waited for Chen Long to fall. Seeing Ma Chao talking about Ma Teng's death, he couldn't help but excuse himself: "General Chen, General Ma, and General Shoucheng were killed, it really wasn't my intention. Ma Chao raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "Until now, do you still want to argue?!" It's not you, but who? Even if you didn't do it yourself, you must have ordered the killing. ”

Chen Long stood up and helped up the kneeling Ma Chao, made a gesture of calmness, and said: "Meng Qi, Zhang Wei has been captured here, don't worry, I will make the decision for you." Seeing Ma Chao nodding, his expression of grief and indignation changed slightly, and he turned to Zhang Wei and said: "The Hanzhong army killed General Ma Shoucheng, and your two brothers must pay back this account." Since you said that you didn't give the order, tell me to wait for the real murderer first. ”

Zhang Wei kowtowed and said: "General Wenlong, when I watched the Qinglong Army cross the border, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and I admired it in my heart, and I also heard the name of General Wenlong's kindness to the people, and he was famous all over the world. Since I have been captured, I am willing to take refuge wholeheartedly and help the general succeed. After begging for my life, I would like to persuade my brother Zhang Lu to surrender as well, so as to eliminate the war and relieve the suffering of the people. ”

Zhang Wei swallowed his saliva, glanced at Ma Chao and continued: "As for the death of General Ma Shoucheng, it is really Yang Ang's own opinion, his whereabouts are unknown now, and I think he was also killed. When my brother surrenders, I am willing to personally find out the real culprit Yang Ang for General Meng Qi and hand it over to Meng Qi to deal with. ”

Ma Chao snorted and glanced at Long Chen's face noncommittally, as if he wanted to ask for instructions. Chen Long turned around, held Ma Teng's coffin with his hand, and cried: "General Shoucheng, you and I agreed to help the Han family, Yi and the brothers, father and son, and wanted to save the people from the danger of hanging upside down, but I didn't expect that there would only be a few months in a hurry. After you leave, Meng Qi and other brothers are my brothers and nephews! The land of Hanzhong, fertile fields for thousands of miles, the land of grain and rice, easy to defend and difficult to attack, blocking Xichuan, taking the Han River, connecting Shangyong, connecting Tianshui, with a population of hundreds of thousands, can be the place where Meng Qi trains his troops. ”

Chen Long's face was full of tears, and the surrounding Ma Chao family had already knelt down and wept silently. Chen Long wiped away his tears and continued: "Hanzhong has sprinkled the blood of General Shoucheng, and it will be Meng Qi's hot land in the future. But there is a wrong, there is a debtor, Yang Ang is on the run, and the beggar brother spares Zhang Wei for the time being, in order to take Hanzhong and eliminate the war, this brother's peerless merit is also! ”

Ma Chao stood up, grabbed Zhang Wei and said, "Nanxianghou spared your life for the time being, and you were lucky to survive today." Give me a good assistant to Nanxianghou to take Hanzhong, otherwise I will cut off your head with my own hands. What kind of horse does Yang Ang ride, what kind of knife and gun does he take, and what he looks like, you tell me in detail! ”

Seeing that Ma Chao promised not to kill Zhang Wei, Chen Long put down the big stone in his heart and stood aside to let Ma Chao interrogate Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei said Yang Ang's appearance in detail, Ma Chao sighed, fell backwards, Chen Long behind him was quick and fast, and he held on, only to hear Ma Chao shouting in a daze: "I actually let this guy go with my own hands!" "I regretted it for a while, it turned out that the silver gun hit the top of a helmet that day, asked about my father's life and death, and fainted after learning of my father's death, and was taken advantage of the chaos to escape, and now I think about it, it is the murderer Yang Ang.

Chen Long stroked Ma Chao's chest, and the group rest function worked silently, helping Ma Chao regulate his breath. This horse is not very old, but his temperament is like fire, and he really needs to be honed, if he can grow more brains, he will be able to achieve higher achievements.

After Ma Chao calmed down, Chen Long personally moved a chair and asked Ma Chao to sit down and rest. Ma Chao refused, stood as straight as a javelin again, and arched his hand: "The general is on top!" The three sons of the Wu Ma clan, as well as Ma Dai, begged to bring the soldiers and horses of the headquarters as the vanguard, and take Hanzhong directly along Mian County, and Wanwang allowed it! ”

Chen Long said: "Accurate! This is naturally accurate! I'm going to help you with some troops. But the advisors are here today, and let's hear what they have to say. I also want to hear Zhang Wei's advice, okay? When Ma Chao heard this, he stood aside.

Chen Long returned to his seat, and asked Zhang Wei to loosen his ties and give him a seat. Ma Chao seemed to want to say something, but he held back. Chen Long asked: "I heard that the people of Hanzhong, nine times out of ten, are members of the Five Doumi Sect, and Feng Nai's brother Zhang Lu is the sect leader, what is going on?" If the city is sieged, will these cultists fight to the death for the sect leader? ”

Zhang Wei understood that Chen Long wanted to understand the loyalty of the people of Hanzhong to Zhang Lu, so he thought about it and said cautiously: "I don't dare to make a conclusion about this, but I can tell you about the doctrine and origin of the Five Dou Mi Sect, as well as the current development status, so that it is convenient for the lord to judge." Zhang Wei directly called Chen Long as the lord, everyone heard it a little awkwardly, and they didn't know whether this Zhang Wei's surrender was true or not.

"I am also a member of the Five Doumi Sect, and my position is quite high, so I know a lot about the origin of the doctrine. The Five Doumi Sect was originally known as the Heavenly Master Dao, also known as the Dao of Zhengyi and Zhengyi Alliance. ”

"Heavenly Master Dao is the highest belief in Taishang Laojun, founded by the ancestor Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, and wrote "Lao Tzu Xianger Note", which is the holy book of Heavenly Master Dao. My father Zhang Heng and my brother Zhang Lu reformed the order and preached in the area of Qingcheng Mountain. Bashu is barbaric, and the original Ba people believe in primitive witchcraft, and large-scale obscenity harms the people. Zhang Tianshi took Wang Chang, Zhao Sheng's two disciples and the Yellow Emperor's Jiuding Danjing, came to Beibi Mountain to practice, and returned to Sichuan and Chongqing after the completion of the miracle, and used the Taishang Laojun sword seal to break the ghost soldiers, and pacified the witch cult that plagued the people. ”

"And my brother occupied Hanzhong, so he spread this way and called himself the head of the sect. Liu Yan's son, Liu Zhang, was in military power, and on the grounds that my brother did not listen to the dispatch, he killed his mother and family, and my brother became independent according to Hanzhong. At that time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed my brother as the general of Zhennan Zhonglang and led the Hanning Taishou, and then established the current theocratic regime. ”

"My brother is known as 'Shijun' to the outside world, and he is the supreme leader of the Heavenly Master Dao and the supreme administrator. Those who have just entered the Tao are called "Taoists"; Entering the Tao for a long time, and believing in the deep will be the "sacrificial wine", the leaders of the people, the many people called "the head of the great sacrificial wine". The Heavenly Master Dao takes "governance" as the management unit, and currently has 24 governance. Each ruler does not have a chief official, and manages administrative, military, religious and other matters with sacrificial wine. The sacrificial wine is the master of the Taoist people, and regular gatherings and visits. ”

"Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is the main classic of my Heavenly Master's Taoism, which educates Taoists to help each other and love each other, and be honest and not cheat. When a Taoist is sick, he turns himself in. For this reason, the 'Jinglu' was set up as a place for the sick to meditate and cultivate goodness, and there was sacrificial wine to pray for the sick. Those who break the law are not punished casually, and 'the three plains are then executed', and they are very tolerant of the congregation, so they are also supported by the congregation. The government has established a 'righteous house' on the roadside in the territory, teaching people not to accumulate private wealth, and the excess rice and meat are handed over to the righteous house for people passing by. However, you can only 'measure your stomach and take enough', and you can't eat more than you occupy. In addition, measures to benefit the people, such as alcohol prohibition and tax reduction, have also been implemented. Therefore, the Heavenly Master Tao was very popular among the people in the territory, and they used five buckets of rice to join the religion, and finally became a happy land in the hearts of the people, and there were tens of thousands of households in Kansai alone who defected to Hanzhong from the Meridian Valley. After the disaster of the Yellow Turban, the world was in turmoil and the people were in dire straits, but my brother was self-governing and educating the people with his teachings, which was also considered the happiness of all the people. ”

Zhang Wei's voice had fallen, and everyone was stunned, and they couldn't imagine that Hanzhong was such a paradise. Chen Long knew that he needed to explain it himself, so he broke the silence and said: "Although the Heavenly Master Dao has classic teachings, it is still based on the respect of the master Zhang Lu and implements the policy of fooling the people. Today, Zhang Lu is a teacher, and he can practice good governance, but if Dong Zhuo and his ilk are teachers tomorrow, they will drive the congregation to evil. "The confusion of the people was solved.

Hearing this, Zhang Wei said again: "What the lord said is extremely true. To tell you the truth, when my brother fought with the Blue Dragon Army in concert, he was also influenced by the good governance of the lord for the benefit of the people, so he has today's teachings. ”

Chen Long felt ridiculous in his heart, but it was always good to work for the benefit of the people, and nodded and praised: "I see." However, I have the concept of political consultation and the right of the people to participate in the formulation of the government, I am afraid that your brother has not learned it! His face softened slightly, and he didn't laugh at Ma Teng's death. Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "I am about to work hard for the ideals of the lord." ”

With this remark, all the generals understood Chen Long's governance ideas more clearly, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty were absurd, and the government was controlled by eunuchs and relatives, so the Han family would inevitably have no good policies and no good results.

Zhou Budo took the lead and said: "My lord, now that the situation is very good, let General Zhang Wei return to Hanzhong to persuade Zhang Lu." It is expected that Zhang Lu also has to consider the safety of his disciples. Don't dare to make another time. Ma Chao snorted, obviously still not believing that Zhang Wei really surrendered.

In fact, in Long Chen's heart, it doesn't matter whether Zhang Wei really surrendered or not, Hanzhong must take it, but it is just a matter of peace or war. Now that there is a glimmer of hope for a peaceful settlement, it is natural for Zhang Wei to try, so he said: "That's it." Zhang Wei, you can step down, I will prepare money and food for you, and you will set off early tomorrow morning. Zhang Wei knew that they still had to discuss some military secrets, so he hurriedly thanked him and retreated, and went to prepare for the return journey.

Chen Long also arranged for Liu Yong to lead 10,000 people to guard Yangping Pass, and Ma Dai and Ma Chao took the soldiers and horses of the headquarters as the vanguard and led the army by themselves. After passing Mian County, cross the Han River, and go straight to Hanzhong County along the north of the river, forming a north-south attack. If Zhang Lu does not surrender, the final siege decisive battle will be launched.
