The Han army was greeted by Yan Pu and Zhang Wei, Yan Pu was Zhang Lu's first advisor, and Zhang Wei was Zhang Lu's younger brother.

Yan Pu saw Liu Xie and said, "Due to the long distance, the head of the family asked me to wait to come first to welcome the holy driver." ”

Zhang Wei casually agreed.

Liu Xie said: "Zhang Lu is quite aware of current affairs, and has no intention of resisting." ”

Yan Pu said: "The head of the family has always said that he is a Hanchen and must not rebel. ”

The Han army continued to advance westward, and Zhang Wei of Yanpu followed the army, and soon came to the city of Hanzhong, where Zhang Lu and the officials and squires had already knelt down to greet him.

When the army came to him, Liu Xie said: "Calm down, Gongqi, I ask you, your forces don't need Cao Cao Lu Buruo, when you see the arrival of the Han army, why don't you resist and surrender directly?" ”

Zhang Lu said: "Your Majesty, the minister is the Hanchen, Hanzhong is also the Hanzhong of the Han Dynasty, and the people of Hanzhong are also the people of His Majesty." Therefore, there is no such thing as surrender in Wechen. In addition, the three generations of Weichen are loyal and good, and Weichen does not dare to betray the court no matter what. ”

"It has been eight years since I ascended the throne, and in these eight years, why didn't you obey the imperial court, and when I led the army to come, you took the initiative to obey, why is this?"

Zhang Lu immediately knelt down and said: "The minister is guilty." ”

Liu Xie sneered and said, "Okay, get up." You're quite knowledgeable. However, no matter what, you still haven't rebelled, and I am not to blame for the past. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

"Then do you know what my purpose is for coming here with my army?"

Zhang Lu said: "Yizhou Liu Zhang has been divided into a corner, and he has not accepted sinicization for a long time, and His Majesty is here to conquer him." ”

Liu Xie nodded and said: "That's right, I mainly came to recruit him, I originally planned to pass by you, and by the way, I also suppressed you, who knew that you were quite knowledgeable about current affairs, and took the initiative to surrender." ”

Zhang Lu's Hanzhong territory has more than 3 million household registrations and 100,000 soldiers.

Liu Xie's Han army was stationed in Hanzhong, 100,000 troops were stationed inside the city, and the other 300,000 were stationed outside the city. and set up a royal camp in the city.

In the imperial camp, Zhang Lu met Liu Xie, only to see Liu Xie left and right Huang Zhong, and Tai Shici, and Zhang Fei, Xu Chu and other fierce generals on both sides.

Liu Xie said: "I plan to attack Liu Zhang after you have been here for a while. ”

Zhang Lu said: "Your Majesty is here to rest and recuperate. It's just that Weichen is worried that if it drags on for too long, Liu Zhang will dispatch troops and generals, and everything will be deployed, which will increase the difficulty of recovery. ”

Liu Xie said: "I am asking him to deploy well, so that I can show the might of my Han army." What do you propose regarding military deployment? ”

Zhang Lu said: "The 100,000 troops in Hanzhong are all at the disposal of His Majesty. ”

Liu Xie said: "Very good, but Gongqi, I trust you a lot, but you have been out of the imperial court for too long, and many of my ministers and generals have been quite critical of you." ”

Zhang Lu was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is loyal to the court and His Majesty, and he has no two hearts!" ”

Zhang Fei shouted: "You said loyalty, then you are really loyal?" How do you prove it? ”

Zhang Lu looked up at Zhang Fei, thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not unwilling to leave Hanzhong and return to Luoyang, but that Liu Zhang and I have a grudge against my mother, and Weichen wants to follow Your Majesty to conquer Liu Zhang." If the ministers don't believe me, let my family go to Luoyang first. Wechen begs Your Majesty's permission! ”

Liu Xie looked at him with a very sincere look, and with the judgment of the small dictionary, it can be concluded that his words are true.

Then he said: "Since you are so obsessed, then I have promised you to let you go on the expedition with me, and your wife and children can go to Luoyang to settle down, but you also know that my officials in Luoyang live very simply, including me, I dare not be extravagant, you must be mentally prepared for your family to endure hardships." ”

Zhang Lu said: "Serving the country, no matter how hard and tired you are, you will not give up." ”

The Han army was stationed in Hanzhong and sent scouts to Yizhou to inquire about the news.

The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that Yan'er led 300,000 troops to Wancheng that night, and Wancheng Taishou Liu Pi went out of the city to greet him, and arranged accommodation and a large camp for Yan'er and the generals.

In the camp, Yan Er convened the generals to discuss the next operational deployment.

Yan'er sat in the middle of the head, because her belly was big, and Yan'er loved beauty, she erected a gauze curtain in front of her eyes.

In the lower two rows, the first one on the left is the military advisor Chen Gong, and the lower row is the three generals: Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Guan Yu.

On the right, Wen Yin, Xiahou Ling and Lu Qiling sat in turn.

Yan Er said: "Generals, we have come to Wancheng now, and then to the south is the boundary of Jingzhou." Do you have any suggestions? ”

Chen Gong said: "Niangniang, although the front is the boundary of Jingzhou, there is still a distance of more than 600 miles from Jingzhou City, and it will take three days for the army to march quickly." And now, although Jingzhou has essentially broken away from the imperial court, nominally, he has not rebelled. We are stationed here, and it is not convenient for us to march. ”

Yan Er asked, "Is it difficult for us to wait here?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Exactly, wait and see what happens." ”

Wen Yin asked, "Then if they don't change for a year, will we go on board for a year?" ”

Chen Gong: "Yes, Concubine Wen, it won't change for a year, just wait for a year." However, the humble post asserts that within three days, Jingzhou will send people to take care of it, and then we will see the opportunity to act again. ”

Yan Er said: "Jingzhou is originally a place where you can't fight and fight, and you can't wait and wait, so you can only wait and see what happens. ”

Chen Gong said: "Niangniang got right, I can't wait." ”

After discussing for a while, Yan Er suddenly asked: "Your Majesty sent this palace to be handsome, although this palace is a noble concubine, but after all, she is a woman, and she is pregnant, I don't know if the soldiers dislike it." ”

Chen Gong said: "Otherwise, we have followed Your Majesty for many years, and we know that Niangniang is Your Majesty's most confidant, and we will not dislike and disobey." We are willing to obey the mother's orders! ”

All the generals said: "We are all willing to obey the orders of the mother." ”

Yan Er glanced at Guan Yu, only Guan Yu was from Lu Bu's army and surrendered with Liu Bei. It can be clearly seen that Guan Yu is a little unconvinced.

Yan Er smiled secretly in her heart: I will let you obey me.

After the Han army settled down, Yan'er was accompanied by Wenyin's three good sisters, and she was not in a hurry, and the three of her also brought their respective children and took care of her at all times.

Seeing that Wen Yin and the others all have children, Yan'er is very envious, and she is also extra careful, she is bound to give birth to a healthy child, as for whether it is a boy or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

She just wants a healthy child, and she doesn't mind if the child is the crown prince or not.

Chen Gong couldn't say three days, Liu Biao would send someone to come, but it was expected that someone would come the next day, but it was the Jingzhou strategist Kuai Yue who sent an invitation card to invite the commander of the Han army to Xiangyang for a banquet.

Yan'er looked at the invitation card and discussed with the generals.

Wen Yin said: "I heard that this Kuai Yue is good at scheming, I am afraid of fraud, my sister should not go!" ”
