At this moment, Sun Xiu is almost in Chang'an.

In front of them, an ox cart on the winding mountain road rolled over in the ditch, nearly a thousand catties of cattle were carried to the ground by the car, the four hooves of the ox wanted to struggle to stand up, but because of the rope and the wheel struggled for a long time did not get out, but dug a pit in the field under him, and looked at Sun Xiu who came to the front with big eyes panting and fear.

Sun Xiu attached himself to untie the cow sleeve, and the shackles were exhausted, and the scalper turned over and stood up, glanced at Sun Xiu gratefully, and walked to the nearby place where the grass stalks were licked and broken.

Not far from him, an old man sat on the ridge with the driver of the car. The driver dislocated his body because of the force of pulling, and because the car rolled over and threw it out and touched the dislocated place, his painful forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Waiting for the coachman to sit down, the old man pointed to one of the coachman's arms and asked, "But this arm can't use its strength, and there is severe pain around the shoulder?" ”

The coachman gritted his teeth and nodded, and the old man said: "Your arm was torn and dislocated by external force, you keep this action and endure it for a while, and I will reset it for you!" You're lucky that you didn't tear your arm off, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to work for nearly 100 days, and that would have been a bad day..."

As he spoke, the old man had already touched the coachman's arm, and with a slight move and a sharp push, the arm returned to its original position. The coachman let out a scream, and the pain vanished like a mouse meets a cat.

Such a skillful bone correction technique made the coachman instantly understand that he had met a master, and hugged his fists and saluted: "Thank you for your help, if I hadn't met a nobleman, I really don't know how to clean up this mess!" I don't know how to thank you enough! ”

The coachman smiled bitterly, and the old man smiled indifferently, knowing that the coachman wanted to take out something to thank him for saving his life, but because of the cyst shyness, he was a little ashamed in his heart, and said: "I'm not the kind of noble person who pretends to be high-minded, and I must pay for a consultation!" I am a disciple of five buckets of rice, and this kind of mutual assistance is morality, and I want all people to stop suffering, and I want peace of mind! ”

The old man's demeanor was kind and fairy-winded, and he was able to capture it with one hand of orthopedic surgery. The coachman suddenly said with a yearning on his face: "I have long heard that Wudoumi has the meaning of mutual assistance, and I thought it was a false rumor. I don't want to meet it today, but it's true. Wudoumi is really a blessed land for our common people, I wonder if I can join? ”

"Of course you can, there are also my five buckets of rice disciples in Guanzhong, and there are wine hosts everywhere, you can go to Na Wu Dou Rice! Today, your car has been damaged, and it is not a way to sit and wait again, so I will call this place to come to the altar to help! In the future, the only thing to do is to explain the sacrificial wine to you, okay? ”

"Thank you, then!"

The old man asked his disciples to find the local sacrificial wine, and took advantage of the time to bring the oxen together to pull the car up the ditch, and only after the sacrificial wine arrived did the group continue to hurry.

Sun Xiu was not surprised, I don't know how much the old man has done such things along the way, if it weren't for the old man's insistence, the group would have already arrived in Chang'an. Fortunately, it is not far from Chang'an, and the population is gradually dense, but there is no delay in encountering things.

The old man's name is Fan Changsheng, and he is the head of the Five Buckets of Rice Dao. This time, at the invitation of Sima Shu, he came to Guanzhong with Sun Xiu, which was for the sake of Taoism!

Sima Shu entered the customs, and Sun Xiu did not show up for a long time because Sun Xiu was a five-bucket rice disciple sacrificial wine, and was entrusted with the important task of inviting Fan Changsheng to enter the customs.

When Fan Changsheng saw Sun Xiu, he was surprised to hear the news.

"Why did he invite me to Guanzhong to discuss the Tao? Could it be that the crown prince also wants to rest the art of immortality? ”

Fan Changsheng thought at the first thought in his heart, and immediately denied this possibility. Sima Shu's age is not a secret, he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is far from aging, so he can't do anything about immortality now. So what is Sima Shu's purpose?

Fan Changsheng looked at Sun Xiu and said, "You haven't finished your words!" ”

Sun Xiu Zhengse said: "My five buckets of rice Taoist disciples are all over the Sichuan and Shu Passes, and even Yecheng Luoyang has a large number of disciples. His Royal Highness knows that the governance of Guanzhong cannot be bypassed five buckets of rice, so he sent me here to cooperate! ”

Fan Changsheng's face turned cold and said, "That's not right! As far as I know, the prince is only thirteen years old this year, where can he preside over Guanzhong affairs! If you are sincere, tell the true Lord to make it, or you will not say such unreasonable demands. ”

Sun Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "I am also a Taoist disciple, how could I deceive the Dao leader?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although young, is precocious. Knowing that the imperial court is in crisis at the moment, if you don't make plans early, it will inevitably be in danger everywhere. I came for the peace of the world, which was also the philosophy that the Taoist taught at that time. As for whether it is true or false, the Taoist head must judge for himself, His Highness wants me to convey the same meaning, but there is only one sentence to convey: Remember the yellow scarf! ”

Yellow Turban!

Of course, Fan Changsheng will not forget.

Thinking that the Han family was not extinguished, the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was corrupt and the people were not able to make a living, Zhang Jiao created the Taiping Road, and the power spread all over Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan eight prefectures, and the believers at the peak of the time were divided into 36 parties; There are more than 10,000 people in the big square and 6 or 7,000 people in the small side; Each side set up a ditch commander, shouting that the sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the slogan of peace in the world wants to sweep the world to reform the destiny of heaven, but it has suffered the fate of failure.

There are also many Yellow Turban remnants among the Five Doumi Daoists, and they know a lot about the events at that time. By now, Fan Changsheng has seen clearly that the strength of the Yellow Turban back then was certainly the result of the unbearable labor of the people, and it was also the result of the connivance of the feudal officials of the DPRK and China. If it weren't for this, Dong Zhuo would not be like Chang'an, and the princes of the Thirty-six Roads would not be bigger.

Sure enough, in the end, he made a wedding dress for Cao Wei, and it was also Emperor Cao Wei's martial arts, and the yellow scarf he received was loyal, so he had the confidence to chase the Central Plains. It's a pity that Cao Wei failed to adhere to the concept that Emperor Cao Cao has always adhered to, and was gradually corroded by the gate valve, which is why there is now the status quo of high-ranking nobles controlling the court!

Unlike others, Fan Changsheng knows that it is not the blessing of the country for Gaomen to control the DPRK and China, but being able to do this also shows that Gaomen's background is better than that of the people. It seems that it is already commendable for ordinary people to eat a full meal, and where does they get the money and energy to study and progress!

If you want to change the status quo, you can't leave the powerful! It is that Wudoumi now has the current power, and it is also Zhang Lu's surrender to Cao Cao in exchange for the opportunity for development. This is the conclusion that Fan Changsheng has come to after thinking about it for decades, so Wudoumi will preach in Yecheng and Luoyang, and he spares no effort Sun Xiu, Li Han and other well-qualified ordinary people cling to the powerful, in order to use the power of the powerful to develop and grow, and the world will be in chaos every day, so as to seize the opportunity to complete the mission that Zhangjiao Taiping Dao cannot complete!

Now that Sun Xiu has Sima Shu's kindness, it can't but be said to be an opportunity! Then he asked Sun Xiu, "What do you think of the prince?" ”

Sun Xiu came to the prince's affairs one by one, Fan Changsheng already understood, and the prince Sima Shu had a heart to say, "In this way, what you said is true, wait for me for a while, and I will make incense for the heavenly master." ”

Fan Changsheng put a stick of incense on the incense burner and bowed three times to the tablet in front of him.

In the ranking, the founder of Wudou Midao is Zhang Daoling, and below him are Zhang Heng, Zhang Lu and other heavenly masters of the past dynasties.

, Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong, because of the attack on Zhang Xiu's teachings, and "added decorations". Self-proclaimed "Shijun". Those who come to learn the Tao are called "ghost pawns" at first, and they are believed by the Tao, and they are called "sacrificial wine", and all the leaders and subordinates; Those who lead a large number are "the head of the great sacrifice wine". There are no chiefs, and local government affairs are managed with sacrificial wine. Inheriting the teachings of his ancestors, the people are honest and do not deceive, so that the sick will surrender themselves; The offender is lenient three times, and if he repeats the offense, then the punishment is increased; If it is a minor offense, then build a hundred steps of the road to atone for your sins. In accordance with the "Lunar Decree", slaughter is forbidden in spring and summer when all things grow, and it is forbidden to drink alcohol. He also founded the righteous house, which included righteous rice and meat for passers-by to eat for free, and declared that if he obtained too much, he would offend the ghosts and gods and become ill.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a group of males swarmed, Guanzhong Han Sui and Ma Chao raised troops to resist Cao, and many people fled to the relatively stable Hanzhong area, such as tens of thousands of people in Guanxi who fled to Hanzhong from the Meridian Valley.

Zhang Lu also had the support of the leaders of the Bayi ethnic minority, Du Hao, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue, and others. He adopted a policy of leniency to rule Hanzhong, and "the people were happy". "Those who are sent to their places do not dare not be disrespected." Goto Mido expanded its influence with the power of the regime. Five buckets of rice Taoist believers enter the Tao, and they only need to pay five buckets of rice. Zhang Lu has been in Hanzhong for more than 20 years, has many believers, and has become a powerful separatist force in the late Han Dynasty.

At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty regime controlled by Cao Cao had no time to take care of Hanzhong, so he worshiped Zhang Lu as the general of the townspeople Zhonglang (Yizuo Zhenyi Zhonglang General) and led Hanning Taishou. Zhang Lu ruled the Ba and Han dynasties for nearly 30 years.

Later, someone dug up the jade seal in the ground, and everyone wanted to honor Zhang Lu as the king of Hanning. Zhang Lu's Gong Cao Yanpu advised: "The people of Hanchuan have more than 100,000 household registrations, a lot of wealth and fertile land, and the terrain is dangerous on all sides; If you can help the Son of Heaven, then you will become the likes of Duke Qi Huan, Duke Wen of Jin, and at worst, people like Dou Rong, who can be rich and noble. Now the government office is set up, and the power is enough to decide affairs, and there is no need to be the king. I hope you will not be king for the time being, and you will not invite trouble first. Zhang Lu listened to Yan Pu's advice.

In 215 AD (the twentieth year of Jian'an), Cao Cao personally led an army of 100,000 to the west to conquer Hanzhong and arrived at Yangping Pass, where Zhang Lu wanted to surrender to Cao Cao. But Zhang Ludi Zhang Wei did not listen, and led tens of thousands of horses to stick to Yangping Pass, which was broken by Cao Cao. When Zhang Lu heard the news, he wanted to kowtow and surrender. Yan Pu also offered a plan and said: "Now that you are forced to meet, you will definitely not be reused by Cao Gong, it is better to go to Puhu to resist first, and then offer him a gift and be a minister, so that you will be reused by Cao Gong." Zhang Lu then led his army to Bazhong. Before leaving, the people around wanted to burn all the treasures in the warehouse, Zhang Lu said: "I have the intention to return to the imperial court, but this intention has not been known to the Duke of Cao." We left today just to avoid the edge, and we had no other intentions. Treasure warehouses should be owned by the state. So he hid all the treasures before leaving.

After Cao Cao arrived in Nanzheng, he deeply praised Zhang Lu's behavior, and because Zhang Lu had already intended to be obedient, he sent people to condole. Zhang Lu took the whole family to meet Cao Cao, and Taizu appointed him as the general of Zhennan, treated him with courtesy, and named Zhang Lu as the Marquis of Langzhong (a "Marquis of Xiangping"), with 10,000 households. Cao Cao took him and his family back to Yecheng. Feng Zhanglu's five sons and Yan Pu and others were the liehous. For his son Cao Yu to marry Zhang Lu's daughter as his wife. Later generations of Taoists called Zhang Lu "Zhang Zhennan".
