After hearing the news, everyone seemed to be petrified.

After a long while, Cao Cao burst out with his trademark laugh again:

"Cao Shuo, it's really my unicorn!"

Everyone: "......"

Change your face every day, change your face and change your face again, only you Cao Cao can do it!

Then a few days passed, and Zhang Lu came to Cao Cao.

Zhang Lu did not have the slightest intention of rebellion, and when he saw Cao Cao, he looked respectful, expressing his willingness to submit to Cao Cao, and promised Cao Cao all conditions.

Cao Cao was very happy in his heart, but he didn't know that Zhang Lu was really scared by Cao Shuo.

According to Cao Shuo's advancement, if he doesn't surrender, he really won't be able to last a day, and he may even be pulled out of the bed.

Zhang Lu also clearly understood this time that his strength was really like a piece of paper in front of the powerful Cao Cao.

Now that Zhang Lu has surrendered, what Cao Cao is thinking about now is how to deal with Zhang Lu and such a big piece of fat in Hanzhong.

To put it simply, who is in charge of Hanzhong, whether to continue to let Zhang Lu go back, or to find someone by himself?

The main reason is because Cao Cao has just experienced Ma Chao's incident, and now when he hears the word surrender, his heart is tight.

"You ...... What do you think of Zhang Lu's matter? ”

Cao Cao didn't have any good ideas of his own, so he turned back to his advisers.

"Zhang Lu is really mediocre, there is no need to worry about him, just let him go back."

Jia Xu stood up and said to Cao Cao: "And Zhang Lu is also very famous in the Hanzhong area, and his family has been managing this territory for three generations, so it is actually very suitable for him to go back." ”

"I disagree!"

Guo Jia jumped out again at this time and said, "Lord, have you forgotten about Ma Chao?" Now let him return to Hanzhong, which is equivalent to placing a timed **! If he really rebels, it will take a lot of effort for us to deal with it after we return to Xuchang! ”

Jia Xu and Guo Jia once again formed opposing opinions and argued endlessly in the hall.

The strategists were also nearly divided into two groups, some of whom were in favor of Zhang Lu going back, some were in favor of directly imprisoning Zhang Lu, or directly sending people from Cao Ying's camp to manage them.

"What's wrong?"

Just then, a person walked in outside the door.

It's Cao Shuo who came to brush up on experience!

"Cao Shuo is here!"

Seeing his unicorn, Cao Cao's back molars leaked out of three of them.

Although now Cao Cao also has a hunch...... Cao Shuo is definitely angry with him coming over now.

But it doesn't matter, every time Cao Cao is angry, he can listen to Cao Shuo's opinion by the way!

"That...... My good son, what should I do with Zhang Lu and Hanzhong now? ”

Cao Cao smiled like a licking dog.

"Hey, don't you need to say more, just let him continue to manage Hanzhong."

Cao Shuo did not hesitate at all, and said slowly to everyone: "First of all, Zhang Lu has no threat, he has no lofty ambitions, he is not different from Ma Chao at all, there is no need to worry about rebellion at all!" ”

"In addition, Zhang Lu is also very superstitious, if he is brought to Xuchang, it is estimated that his followers will cause riots in Hanzhong!"

"And ...... Three generations of people are there, originally he wanted to join forces with Liu Bei, but you forced it, Dad! ”

……

After some explanation, everyone immediately stopped arguing.

What Cao Shuo said is simply too right!

Even Zhang Lu was superstitious about Taoism and was afraid that his apprentices would rebel!

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad......"

Hearing this, Cao Cao probably knew it in his heart.

Since Cao Shuo said so now, it is not a big deal to let Zhang Lu continue to manage Hanzhong.

"By the way, the ...... he founded What is it called the Five Bucket Rice Sect? ”

At this time, Cao Cao touched his beard again and looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

Originally, Cao Cao didn't expect Zhang Lu to establish a sect at all, but today Cao Shuo mentioned it again, and he couldn't help but make Cao Cao's heart start to be suspicious.

"I know!"

Jia Xu jumped out again at this time and said: "The number of sects founded by Zhang Lu is estimated to be about 20,000, and I suggest that these superstitious people be eliminated, otherwise they will develop into the Yellow Turban Army ......."

"Not at all!"

Cao Shuo waved his hand directly and continued to say to Cao Cao: "Zhang Lu's ancestor is the founder of the Five Dou Rice Sect, and he is fundamentally different from the Yellow Turban Army, so there will definitely be no big news!" ”

In modern society, Taoism's status has been ranked behind.

Cao Shuo didn't want the religion of China to be hit by himself, and Zhang Luke was really an authentic descendant of Zhang Daoling!

"Okay!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he also chose to believe Cao Shuo and no longer had any worries about Zhang Lu.

"Since we chose Zhang Lu to go back to manage Hanzhong, it's time to go back!"

Cao Cao laughed and made the decision to return to Xuchang.

This time I came to Xiliang here...... It's been a bit long.

"No problem, when you go back, Daddy can continue to flop the cards!" Cao Shuo grinned, and a dodge slipped out.

"You ......"

This sentence hit Cao Cao's heart, and he was so angry that his old face turned red again.

Look at the Strategists again...... All of them were smiling again.

……

Jingzhou.

"Hey, after a thousand calculations, it's still a step too late, this Cao Shuo of the Cao family is really a divine soldier, and he actually surrendered Zhang Lu directly!"

Liu Bei heard the news of Zhang Lu's surrender and said that he was very annoyed:

"If Cao Shuo is a day late, the soldiers I transferred from Jingzhou will definitely be able to reinforce him, but now ......"

Thinking of this, Liu Bei sighed again.

Pang Tong had gone to Zhang Lu's territory before, and after several lobbying, he achieved results.

Seeing that the two were about to join forces, Liu Bei and Ben didn't expect Cao Shuo to defeat Zhang Wei without any warning, and directly defeated Zhang Wei with 20,000 cavalry.

After learning the result, Liu Bei only sighed.

"The lord is counting on Zhang Lu to resist Cao Cao, it's really whimsical!"

Zhuge Liang walked to Liu Bei's side with a fan at this time, and said leisurely:

"Zhang Lu is originally a mediocre person, even if he is in alliance with us, it is completely impossible to be a king, and the biggest role is to hold Hanzhong here and prevent Cao Cao from occupying the entire north!"

"This ......"

When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang, he quickly pulled him to sit down.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and continued: "Although Zhang Lu has surrendered to Cao Cao now, I heard the news that he has returned to Hanzhong, and it has no impact on the overall situation, if Cao Cao fails one day, then Zhang Lu will definitely be independent again, and he is our fish and meat......"

"Mr. Zhuge Liang's insights are really clever!"

When Pang Tong heard this, he also nodded and said:

"During my contact with Zhang Lu, I can clearly feel that this person has no ambitions, there is no need to worry about it at all, we just need to protect the area in Shuzhong now, and the other ...... This time we actually have a benefit! ”

"Benefits?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes widened in confusion.

Allies are lost, what good is there?
