"It seems that this Zhang Lu is quite cautious~" Looking at the report sent by Chang'an, Li Yi stroked his beard and muttered to himself, then looked at Sima Yi who was not far away and smiled, "Zhongda, do you have any ideas?" ”

Not long ago, Sima Yi was officially crowned and became Li Yi's main book with the first place in the A character subject of Dadao College.

Speaking of which, the position of the chief secretary is very special, because from the three dukes to the lower officials, there is such a position under the command. It's just that this position doesn't have any rights and things that need to be responsible, but in any case, this position can assist Shangguan to deal with it.

This is also the reason why Li Yi especially likes to appoint those young talents as his main bookkeeper, which is really very exercised. It's like Xu Shu before and Guo Jia before him, both of whom once served as Li Yi's chief bookkeeper.

Hearing this, Sima Yi replied respectfully, "Returning to the lord, although Zhang Lu's attitude is very resolute, judging from his past actions such as taking refuge in Liu Yan, he also attaches great importance to power and the way of the heavenly master. Therefore, his subordinates thought that they could continue to use the Heavenly Master Dao to win over Zhang Lu and make some transactions with him...... At the same time, he sent people to Chengdu to find someone to win over and help persuade the king of Shu. ”

"The subordinates agreed with Zhong Da's plan, there was gold and silver in Han, and the lord could make a gold and silver deal with Zhang Lu, and show goodwill to the Heavenly Master. In this way, even if Liu Zhang really trusts Zhang Lu very much, in the current situation, I am afraid that he will be suspicious, if he can win over the Shu County clan to provoke secretly......" As soon as Sima Yi's words fell, Guo Jia opened his mouth and agreed.

"It's just that according to the knowledge of his subordinates, the Heavenly Master Dao is quite demagogic, and in Hanzhong County, almost most of the people, even including those of other races, are believers in the Heavenly Master Dao...... And it is said that there seems to be some relationship between the Heavenly Master Dao and the Taiping Dao......" Xun Yu said with some concern.

"It doesn't matter." Li Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Taiping Dao and Heavenly Master Dao are said to have evolved from Huang Lao's theory, and I have also seen Huang Lao's theory, and most of them are good things. In the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and all kinds of theories had merits, although most of them have now declined, but this is not a problem of the doctrine itself, but the ...... of the people who spread the doctrine."

Speaking of this, Li Yi paused, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "And we can also talk to that Zhang Youfa in the third chapter, if the Heavenly Master Dao is really secretly playing ghosts, doesn't it give us an excuse to attack Hanzhong and then take Shudi?" ”

Li Yi really doesn't have much feeling about this kind of religion, maybe it's because he lived in a pluralistic society in his previous life, right? Of course, although he has no sense of religion, he is more wary than anyone else. After all, as a time-traveler, he knows a lot about religion. For example, the Crusaders in Europe and the Ichikozong in Japan...... Faith is not terrible, but if it is used by someone with a heart, it will be very fatal.

After receiving Li Yi's order, Xu Shu immediately ordered Fa Zheng to go to Yizhou again. Although Zhang Lu and Yan Pu were also very suspicious of Li Yi's purpose, in the face of the opportunity to spread the Heavenly Master's Dao, as well as the huge benefits brought by the gold and silver trade, Zhang Lu really couldn't say anything to refuse.

Even if Li Yi set very harsh restrictions on the preaching of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Lu still didn't want to give up. After all, he really didn't plan to do anything.

As for whether Liu Zhang's side would have any suspicions, Zhang Lu and Yan Pu naturally did not take it into consideration. Therefore, after agreeing to Li Yi's proposal, he immediately sent Yan Pu to Chengdu to explain the matter.

At the same time, Fa Zheng also set off to Yizhou, lobbying Liu Zhang, and secretly choosing someone to woo. It's just that just when Fa Zheng didn't know where to start, Liu Zhang took the initiative to send a candidate.

This person is none other than Zhang Song, who is under Liu Zhang. This time Fa Zheng entered Shu, although Liu Zhang was still hesitant to agree to Li Yi's proposal, but for Fa Zheng, Liu Zhang still gave him a favor. not only gave Fazheng a mansion to live in, but also let Zhang Song as Fazheng's contact person, and during his stay in Shudi, he could directly find Zhang Song for anything.

Originally, Liu Zhang may have wanted to stabilize Li Yi first, delay for a while, and wait for the change of the situation in the world without offending Li Yi. It's just that he is the candidate, and he obviously made the wrong choice.

In history, Zhang Song betrayed Liu Zhang, and now, he still chooses to fall to Li Yi. The reason is similar to Zhang Song in history, Liu Zhang has no intention of really reusing Zhang Song.

Although Zhang Song is already a different driver, the reason why he can sit in this position is only because Liu Zhang needs the support of the Zhang family. It's like Zhang Su, who was also Zhang Song's eldest brother in the previous term, has now been appointed as the county guard of Guanghan.

Of course, whether it is Zhang Song or Fa Zheng, they are very cautious and cautious people, but after a period of time, the two still became friends as in history.

"Zhang Song? History really still has its powerful inertia......" Li Yi looked at the report in his hand and thought to himself, "Send someone to tell Xiaozhi and let him continue to win over that Zhang Song." ”

"No!"

With Zhang Song's help, Liu Zhang's attitude finally changed. In other words, Liu Zhang didn't want to be an enemy of Li Yi, but he was hesitating all the time. But now, the persuasion of Zhang Song and others, and although Zhang Lu did not express his support for Li Yi, he made it clear that with the strength of Yizhou, he could not resist Li Yi's army at all. In the end, Liu Zhang would also agree to Li Yi's proposal for an alliance.

On the other side, Liu Biao also agreed to form an alliance with Li Yi. Among them, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others can be said to have made great efforts. Especially Cai Mao, she also asked her sister, who was already married to Liu Biao, to help persuade her. This made Liu Biao's already very hesitant attitude more and more inclined towards Li Yi.

Of course, the most important reason is still Yuan Shu, in fact, this is also the reason why Yuan Xi did not persuade Liu Biao, because Yuan Shu's problem is really unsolvable.

However, although Liu Zhang and Liu Biao both agreed to form an alliance with Li Yi, Li Yi did not mean to be happy. Because of the news of feedback from Jizhou and other places, he really couldn't be happy. Moreover, although Liu Zhang and Liu Biao agreed to form an alliance with Li Yi, they said that they could not declare the world.

"Hehe, these two people...... One tiger father and dog, the other seems to have lost the courage to ride into Jingzhou alone......" Looking at the report in his hand, Li Yi sneered disdainfully.

"Lord, what is the difference between this kind of alliance and child's play......" Sima Yi said with some resentment.

"Hehe, it's just a formality to let the two of them know my attitude. And, when the time comes, as long as they can take a stand with me, they will have already achieved their goal. Li Yi chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.
