Zhang Lu looked at the map in front of him, and felt uncontrollable irritability in his heart.

Since Tianshi Dao was forced to raise troops for more than three months, although he has successively captured the three counties of Chuyang, Baozhong, and Chenggu, and formed a three-sided attack on Nanzheng, the Hanzhong Governance Office, it seems that the situation is quite good, but he knows the hardships well.

First of all, the three counties under this capture seem to have occupied 30% of the nine counties in Hanzhong, but in fact, their population, land, and material reserves actually only account for 10% of the entire territory of Hanzhong. The Chenggu County occupied by Zhang Lu is even narrower and has few people, and there is a shortage of money and food.

Secondly, because Zhang Xiu's department seized the first place to occupy the two counties of Chuyang and Baozhong, only the easternmost impoverished small county was left to be solidified by Zhang Lu. After several times of helplessness and no way to ask for food, coupled with some villains with ulterior motives fanning the flames, the resentment that the uncle and nephew had accumulated for many years finally burst out, and they almost used swords on the spot.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lu's heart was even more depressed. With 4,000 men and horses, he lives in a small county of Chenggu with a low wall, and it is reluctant to defend the city, but the military rations are already less than the needs of a month. What's even more worrying is that now he has torn his face with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu has 12,000 soldiers, and if he doesn't come to the well, it is already his Zhang Lu's luck, how can he count on it?

He sighed, raised his head, looked at several subordinates in the hall, and felt bitter in his heart. On that day, he was so majestic in the Heavenly Master's Dao, everyone in the sect bowed down to him, and now once he loses power, only a few people such as his brother Zhang Wei, Yang Song, Yang Bai brothers, and Zheng Du of the sacrificial wine are with him.

Zhang Lu suddenly felt a heartbeat, he had been in charge of the teaching affairs for many years in the name of the great sacrificial wine, trying his best to cultivate party henchmen, installing cronies, and thinking that he had put Zhang Xiu in the air. Who knew that he was dreaming in vain, but he far underestimated Zhang Xiu, the old fox! The two had just broken up, not only did more than eighty percent of the leaders of the Heavenly Master Dao have fallen to Zhang Xiu, but even most of the thousands of ghost soldiers they had trained for many years suddenly defected, and they went out of the city in the direction of Chuyang and Baozhong with a clear banner. All this can only show one thing, over the years, Zhang Xiu has never given up his determination to get rid of him! It's just that he is too stupid, born and died for him in vain, but he is still in a dream.

Zhang Lu forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, but a voice kept roaring from the bottom of his heart: I am really defeated! No! Even if I lose, I must not die in front of Zhang Xiu, an old thief!

Seeing Zhang Lu's face distorted, and a hideous look in his eyes, all the generals in the hall were cold in their hearts, and they all lowered their heads together.

Zheng Du hurriedly entered the hall with a panicked face, and when he saw Zhang Lu's terrible look, he guessed a few points in his heart, but he still stubbornly said: "The big sacrificial wine, there are guests visiting outside the door!" ”

"Bang", Zhang Lu turned his anger into a heavy palm, and hit a few in front of him, revealing a well-defined palm shape. He shouted angrily: "Zheng Du, you idiot, when has this happened!" Where is there any interest in meeting guests! Knock them out for me! ”

Zheng Du smiled bitterly in his heart, he has been unfavorable in the past few years, since he lost his troops in Black Tiger Mountain and returned in vain, he not only lost Zhang Xiu's trust, but also became a joke for a group of colleagues to mock in secret. In desperation, he had to take refuge in Zhang Lu, the second person in the Heavenly Master Dao, who thought that Zhang Lu was young and promising, and his future was limitless, but he never thought that in just two years, Zhang Lu was forced to this field by Zhang Xiu, and he was about to become a rat crossing the street, and his life hung by a thread between the official army and Zhang Xiu. He laughed at himself in his heart, only blaming himself for being blind!

Zheng Du thought of the person waiting outside the door again, and couldn't help but shiver in his heart. That's a master who can't afford to offend, fortunately he is ready to retreat, otherwise if Zhang Lu accidentally offends him again, then it will be a strong enemy on all sides, and there will be no place to bury him.

He suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and said with a wry smile: "Go back to the Great Sacrifice Wine!" In the humble opinion of subordinates, you are afraid that you must see the guests outside the door! ”

Everyone in the hall was gloating at Zheng Du, and they were all surprised when they heard the words.

Zhang Lu was even more angry and laughed: "Okay! Tell me about it! Who's outside the door? Why do I have to see him? ”

Zheng Du didn't dare to look at Zhang Lu's Sen Han, and lowered his head and said: "Actually, that is also the old man of the Great Sacrifice Wine, he is from Black Tiger Mountain, surnamed Nan!" ”

Zhang Lu was startled, and actually overturned the case, and said in a trembling voice: "You mean? Southern Hawk, Lord of the Eagle's Nest! ”

Zheng Du lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Exactly!" ”

Zhang Lu was stunned for a long time, and thousands of thoughts turned in his heart, and suddenly shouted: "Everyone, open the door with me to welcome guests!" ”

"Zhang Lu?" An undisguised look of contempt flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, "Don't worry! In my opinion, first, he would never dare not see the lord, and second, he would not dare to hurt the lord's hair! ”

"Third!" He chuckled, "Maybe! This Zhang Lu is about to become my colleague! ”

Gao Shun said in disbelief: "Impossible! What is the basis for what you say? ”

Jia Xu raised a finger: "This, my Eagle's Nest has no direct conflict with Zhang Lu at present, the lord of the Eagle's Nest is in person, and he visits with courtesy, how dare he rudely refuse to see him?" Aren't you afraid of being a strong enemy again? That's not something a smart person can do! ”

Gao Shun worried: "But, after all, we have met with their sword soldiers, even if Zhang Luken sees Brother Ying, I am afraid that he will secretly have bad intentions!" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Gao Shuai is wrong! Zhang Lu is secretly ambitious, scheming, and has always been good at forbearance, otherwise he would not have endured until today after Zhang Xiu took the position of his father Zhang Heng's Heavenly Master! Yes, we have had a feud with the Heavenly Master, but you have to distinguish clearly, it is with the Heavenly Master, not with him Zhang Lu! Now that the situation has changed greatly, he seems to be independent of the Heavenly Master Dao, and he will not do anything that is not beneficial to him! ”

Gao Shun pondered for a while before nodding and saying, "Wenhe's words are reasonable, but since he has great ambitions, how can he be willing to succumb to others?" Wen He said that he was willing to submit, but I didn't believe it very much! ”

Jia Xu sneered: "Gao Shuai, you are wrong again!" The more ambitious people are, the more they understand the preciousness of life! What is the current situation of Zhang Lu? Four words to speak, internal and external troubles! Frankly speaking, he is only one step away from the lost dog! Lacking soldiers and food, trapped in a corner, what qualifications does he have to continue fighting? Just wait for death! ”

Gao Shun said: "You mean, he is cornered!" Now is the perfect time for us to convince him to surrender! ”

Jia Xu stroked his palms and smiled: "Not bad! Do you still have any questions? ”

Nan Ying smiled and looked at Zhang Lu, who was sitting at the head of the house, raised the wine bottle in his hand and said, "It's quite presumptuous to come to visit suddenly today. Although I don't like to drink, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I hope that the big sacrifice wine will be forgiving! ”

Zhang Lu also raised the bottle with a smile on his face and said: "Where did Mr. Nan come from!" The day before yesterday, Mr. was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and ran around to relieve the epidemic and save the people from danger, I have admired it for a long time! See you sir today, and I can't be overjoyed! ”

Nan Ying looked at Dian Wei standing behind him, and said with a smile: "Old Dian! Why am I a little insincere when I hear the words of the Great Sacrifice Wine! ”

Zhang Lu looked at Dian Weimu and nodded expressionlessly, his heart trembled, this person is powerful and others don't know, but he has personally learned it. When the battle was not three, he almost died on the spot, and he still shuddered when he thought about it.

He forced a smile and said, "Sir, it's funny!" I see that Mr. is still in style, and it is indeed a sincere joy! ”

Nan Ying arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your concern!" However, I haven't seen it for many days, but I see that the big sacrificial wine is a little shaped, and the clouds are shrouded, and it is no longer the heroic appearance of the day! ”

Zhang Lu listened to his sarcastic words, a trace of imperceptible anger flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared, and said with a smile: "Mr. is also a person who is in charge of all opportunities, but I don't know what advice I have for condescending to Chenggu Xiaocheng this time?" ”

Nan Ying looked at Zhang Lu with a smile, and only when he avoided looking at him did he say, "It's a little strange to ask the big sacrificial wine!" The day before yesterday, on the day when my eagle's nest was completed, didn't you also come to congratulate you? Now the big sacrificial wine holds the male soldiers, and the foundation has been formed, and it is for the sake of courtesy! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall changed color slightly, why is this sarcastic and ridiculous talk endless?

Zhang Lu endured the evil breath in his heart again, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, don't speak out again, all kinds of misunderstandings in the past are indeed at fault first!" But that's all in the .........."

Nanying's face suddenly sank, and he said, "Then you secretly connected Zhang Jiao and revealed the secret of my eagle's nest, which is also a misunderstanding?" ”

Zhang Lu was stunned and said, "Why did Mr. say this?" Who dares to sow discord! Sir, don't fall for the ......... of others."

Nan Ying said coldly: "It was Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang who said it!" Is it enough? ”

Zhang Lu said discoloredly: "Won't it? Zhang Jiao! Did Mr. Zhang Jiao meet? ”

Saying that, he secretly looked at Nan Ying, and secretly hated in his heart, why didn't Zhang Jiao kill this kid! It can be regarded as helping me get rid of a scourge.

Nanying said lightly: "I know what you're thinking!" But I can tell you the truth, even if Zhang Jiao is fast, but I also left a little memorial on him! ”

Zhang Lu was finally shaken and blurted out in disbelief: "How is this possible!" The great sage and good teacher will be defeated by you! ”

A disdainful sneer flashed on Nanying's lips: "Isn't it strange? Isn't a great sage and a good teacher raised by his father's mother? Won't he be defeated? ”

There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone was stunned by Nanying's words, could it be that the great sage and good teacher who had an invincible reputation were really defeated in the hands of this young man?

After a while, Zhang Lucai said astringently: "Mr. Nan, what do you mean by coming here!" Please make it clear! ”

Nanying laughed loudly and said, "Without him! Specially for the salvation of the life of the Great Sacrifice Wine! ”

Zhang Lu couldn't hold it anymore, slapped his palm on a few, and said angrily: "Mr. Nan, you are too arrogant!" ”

Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "Not bad! I still have questions. Zhang Luqi is quite scheming, ambitious, and started as a religious organization, so he has his own die-hard team. Even if he is willing to surrender, he cannot guarantee absolute loyalty to us. I'm worried that not only will we not be able to control Zhang Lu, but we will raise tigers for trouble! ”

Jia Xu praised: "Gao Shuai is really thoughtful and unique, but I think Zhang Lu is not uncontrollable. As the saying goes, the way to control people is to combine grace and power, and dealing with Zhang Lu is no exception. Thinking that day, this Zhang Lu led the troops to attack, but the whole army was wiped out, and he was only spared. This is definitely a lingering nightmare for him who has won and been undefeated, and his heart must be full of awe for the lord. So this power is enough! ”

Gao Shun nodded and said, "Not bad!" When Brother Eagle let him go, he also said that as long as Brother Eagle is here, he will always retreat! But what about this grace? How can we be gracious to Him? ”

Jia Xu chuckled: "Didn't I say it before! He is now at the end of his rope, and if we can help him get out of this predicament, how can he not be grateful to Dade? ”

Gao Shun was stunned and said: "Dare to ask Wen He, how can we help him get out of the predicament?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "What do you think?" To what extent do we achieve that this Zhang Lu will be sincerely obedient? ”

Gao Shun said angrily: "You obviously have a plan in your heart, and you have already put it into action, so why bother to make such a move and ask me?" ”

Jia Xu waved his hand and said: "Gao Shuai Hugh wants to misunderstand, doesn't the lord often say that he has to empathize?" I really want to hear what kind of conditions you would put forward if you were Zhang Lu? ”

Nan Ying stretched out his hand to stop the murderous Dian Wei, and said lightly: "What? The Great Sacrifice Wine is angry? Is there anything wrong with the following words? ”

Zhang Lu barely suppressed his anger and sneered: "I have always admired Mr.'s character and strength, but Mr. keeps saying that he wants to save my life, is it an exaggeration, right?" is not talented in the next, but it can also be regarded as a hero, and there are countless loyal and brave people under him. Who dares to say that they can take my life? ”

Nan Ying was stunned and said, "When did I say that someone can take the life of the Great Sacrifice Wine?" ”

Seeing the green tendons on Zhang Lu's head, he was about to be annoyed and angry, so he waved his hand and said, "The big sacrificial wine is misunderstood!" When I say I want to save the life of the Great Priest, I don't mean that someone wants to take your life, but I am afraid that you will kill yourself! ”

As soon as these words came out, even Zhang Lu's generals couldn't bear it anymore, and they all got up together, glared angrily at Nanying, and just waited for Zhang Lu to turn his face and give the order, and they wanted to attack it in groups.

Zhang Lu suddenly calmed down, he had always had an inexplicable fear of Nanying, and he knew that this person would never say anything, he stretched out his hand to stop his subordinates, and a sincere smile bloomed on his face little by little, and said: "It's reckless!" But I don't know what Mr. means by suicide? Please sir teach me! ”

Nanying showed an appreciative look, this Zhang Lu also has a bit of bearing, which seems to be much stronger than the version recorded in history. He said calmly: "It's not an exaggeration. Great Sacrifice Wine, with your current situation, has really reached a dangerous situation! I wonder if I'm right? ”

Zhang Lu's brother Zhang Wei sneered and said, "Mr. Nan is joking, right?" Now my Heavenly Master Dao has formed a situation of encirclement of Nanzheng, and as soon as Nanzheng is taken down, Hanzhong will be equal to my hands! In my opinion, Mr. Nan is not only exaggerated, but also alarmist! ”

Nan Ying sighed, didn't look at Zhang Wei, stared at Zhang Lu and said: "Great sacrifice wine, if this also represents your meaning, I will leave here!" ”

Zhang Lu glanced at Zhang Wei angrily, and then said slowly: "I don't know how much Mr. knows about the situation in Hanzhong?" ”

Nan Ying smiled dumbly and said, "It turns out that the Great Sacrifice Wine deceived me and didn't know the situation. Good! I'll show you something! ”

As he spoke, he reached into his arms, took out a white silk, and threw it at Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu stretched out two fingers, firmly clamped the white silk, unfolded it, and couldn't help but sweat down his body. The silk not only noted in detail the deployment of troops, money, grain, vehicles and horses in various parts of Hanzhong, but also clearly analyzed the situation of Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu, and the Hanzhong government, especially the incident of his uncle and nephew.

Zhang Lu's originally white face had no human color, and he finally knew how terrible Nanying was.

Zhang Lu was stunned for a long time, and said miserably: "It turns out that Mr. Nan has already seen the fire, and today he came to humiliate me with the intention of humiliating me!" ”

Nanying waved his hand and said, "You're wrong! I've already said it, I'm here to save you! ”

Zhang Lu's heart suddenly moved, and Nan Ying's second mention of saving him did not seem to be insulting, but something else.

The hope of survival rose in his heart, and he said in a trembling voice: "What do you mean, sir? Please make it clear! ”

Nanying said lightly: "You and your people will follow me in the future!" ”

Zhang Lu and the others all lost their voices: "What? ”

Zhang Wei slapped the case and said angrily: "The surname is Nan!" You're too presumptuous! It's so insulting! ”

Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted to Zhang Wei: "Shut up! If you dare to speak disrespectfully to Mr. Nan, I will not spare it! ”

He looked at Nan Ying with a wry smile and said, "Let's make conditions!" See if you can get my heart struck! ”

Gao Shun groaned: "I think, if you want Zhang Lu to be sincere and obedient, you must cared for his heart, give him gold and silver, and re..........use it appropriately."

Jia Xu interrupted unceremoniously: "Gao Shuai, you can understand these things. If it is only a means of co-optation, it will never be feasible. Let me ask you, even if Zhang Lu is forced by us to come over today due to the situation, then if he meets someone who is more skilled than us in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that he Zhang Lu will not sell us! ”

Gao Shun said bitterly: "Why should Wen He tease me again, a stupid person!" What should I do? ”

Jia Xu said casually: "It's very simple! Heart-to-heart! ”

Gao Shun was surprised: "Attacking the heart? ”

"Not bad!" Jia Xu nodded, "Everyone has his weaknesses. For Zhang Lu, we have to find out the weaknesses, disintegrate his fighting spirit, so that he can no longer have a heart of betrayal! This is the heart-attacking! ”

Gao Shun was dumbfounded: "But what is Zhang Lu's weakness?" ”

"His first weakness is ......"

"What? Does he still have a few weaknesses? ”

"Alas! Gao Shuai, why are you the same as the lord, so fond of interrupting

Someone else's tirade too! ”

"Hey! I'm sorry, please write and speak! ”

"His first weakness was that he cherished life too much. This is not to say that he was timid and afraid of death, Zhang Heng died early, and the position of Heavenly Master that should have been inherited by his son Zhang Lu fell into the hands of Zhang Xiu! Zhang Xiu is ruthless by nature, and it is not difficult to know that he must always want to get rid of his nephew who may threaten his position at this moment. However, after so many years, Zhang Lu is not only alive and well, but also has his own team, faintly forming a situation of fighting against Zhang Xiu. What does this mean? Zhang Lu is good at protecting himself, and this kind of person usually makes a clear choice when faced with an irresistible and powerful enemy! ”

The second weakness is his injustice against the bumpy fate. Although Zhang Lu has a deep personality since he was a child, and his joy and anger are difficult to form, he has his own grand ambition, which is to inherit the ancestral industry and carry forward the Heavenly Master Dao faction. It's a pity that he is only the number two person, and the real power is still in Zhang Xiu's hands, and the bitterness in his heart can be imagined. Gao Shuai, do you think this kind of person will die willingly? No! He will do whatever it takes to make his dream come true. So, whoever can help him realize this dream may become his master! ”

The third weakness is that he has no revenge in his chest. He and Zhang Xiu had a hatred for the throne first, and they had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but now they were drawn by Zhang Xiu from the bottom of the kettle, snatched the results of the battle, and forced him to be trapped in Chenggu Town, which can be described as a new hatred and old hatred, which came to his heart together! Imagine if we could get his revenge on him, and he would be grateful to us. ”

"So Zhang Xiu's fate can only be death, we have to sweep Zhang Xiu away with a thunderous momentum and completely deter Zhang Lu. At the same time, for Zhang Lu, Zhang Xiu's death can not only resolve the danger of cannibalism in the Heavenly Master Dao, but also clear the obstacles for Zhang Lu to unify the Heavenly Master Dao, and even repay the hatred in his heart, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone! In a word: if Zhang Xiu dies, Zhang Lu will fall! This is what Zhang Lu wants the most, and it is also the condition that I ask the lord to offer to him in person! Forgive him, how can Zhang Lu resist? ”

Gao Shun looked at Jia Xu in a daze, and finally sighed softly and said, "Wenhe, are you really the previous Wenhe?" How do I feel like you're a god-like half-immortal now! ”

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled: "You are wrong! Is there anyone in the world who knows things like God? However, everything is done by people, and if you want to anticipate things, you must first anticipate people! This Lu Ma can be regarded as a figure out by me! ”

Gao Shun sighed again: "It is indeed incisive! But at this point, how are we going to eliminate Zhang Xiu? ”

A smile flashed on Jia Xu's face: "Then it's all up to Gao Shuai!" ”

Ignoring Gao Shun, who looked sluggish, he turned his head and shouted to the high-speed rail standing respectfully on the side: "Don't pass on the order of the handsome general!" Drumming Gathering! ”

PS: After today and tomorrow, it will be another day off! That's great! Good luck to everyone!

In recent days, the original small collection has dropped a lot, although Bai Xue has always been relatively calm, but also feels regretful! Is the quality of the book really that bad?
