As Liu Bei said, Hanzhong is really not so easy to capture.

There are some secrets, Liu Bei and they don't know, but Meng Gongwei and they know it well. For example, standing behind Zhang Lu is the Heavenly Master Dao, one of the two major factions in Shu. This is also the reason why Meng Gongwei frowned when Zhuge Liang said "take Hanzhong" just now.

Of course, Zhuge Liang also knew that behind Zhang Lu stood the Heavenly Master of the Monk Sect.

Judging from the historical materials of later generations, Zhang Lu seems to be a guy who can die with a hammer; In fact, there are no powerful generals under his command, and even the strategists have only one insatiable Yang Song, who is barely the number one person.

Not really.

Zhang Lu actually has another identity, that is, the grandson of Zhang Daoling, the Heavenly Master of Shuzhong.

The Heavenly Master Dao is a family-style monk sect, and it is also a major sect of monks in Shuzhong.

Zhang Lu's father Zhang Heng (this Zhang Heng, not Zhang Heng), his qualifications were too poor, he was a mortal and died early. But Zhang Lu's mother is said to be very beautiful and charming. Then, Liu Yan, who was promoted from Youzhou Thorn History to Yizhou Mu, was very greedy for Zhang Lu's mother.

For the sake of a widow and a mortal, although the Heavenly Master Dao is a great sect of monks, he does not dare to disobey the princes of one side.

As a result, Zhang Lu has lived with his mother in Liu Yan's mansion in Yizhou since he was a child, and he can barely be regarded as Liu Yan's stepson (this stepson, not his stepson).

When Zhang Lu became an adult, Liu Yan ordered him to go out of Hanzhong.

Later, Liu Yan died under the peony flower, and Liu Zhang, who succeeded Yizhou Mu, did not recognize his stepmother and stepbrother, and directly filmed Zhang Lu's mother and two younger brothers. This is the so-called "Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu have a grudge against their mother".

It is unknown whether Zhang Lu regarded Liu Zhang as a brother.

What can be known is that when Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother, Zhang Lu killed the Hanzhong officials once appointed by his stepfather, and then directly seized Hanzhong. In the next few years, Zhang Lu spared no effort to eat Liu Zhang's city territory.

Nowadays, most of Guanghan County and Ba County are also hungry by Zhang Lu.

In fact, in terms of strength, there are several generals under Liu Zhang's command, not to mention anything else, Zhang Ren and Wu Yike are both martial artists in the Ning Gang Realm.

Moreover, Liu Zhang has many soldiers and horses, and there is abundant grain and grass.

And under Zhang Lu's command, there is only one Yang Ren, who is only a warrior building the foundation realm, and there are only less than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

It is said that Zhang Lu can't do Liu Zhang.

However, Zhang Lu just beat Liu Zhang and almost called his father, why not?

Because the Heavenly Master Dao is behind Zhang Lu's support.

Monks and monk sects can't directly confront the princes, but it's always okay to sit behind Zhang Lu and slowly kill Liu Zhang, right?

After all, it was Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang who opened the film directly, not their monks.

Really on the battlefield, the opening of soldier to soldier and general to general, Zhang Lu will definitely not be able to handle Liu Zhang.

However, in every big war, at a critical moment, a special army will always emerge under Zhang Lu's command. The number of this army is not very large, but "they" are not afraid of the sword, they are not afraid of death, or they cannot be killed.

In fact, that army was made up of corpse soldiers.

Corpse soldiers, in fact, are zombies.

After a person dies, the soul does not disperse, and the body is immortal, this is a zombie.

According to ancient legends, the emperor's daughter, Dry, was a zombie.

Heavenly Master Dao, there are many cultivation methods, one of which is corpse cultivation, that is, the kind of Maoshan playing zombies in later legends. The representative of this branch is the lich Zhang Xiu; He is Zhang Lu's cousin, and it is said that he has cultivated to the Golden Corpse Realm (equivalent to the Yin God Realm of a monk). And the one who supports Zhang Lu and stands up for him is this lich Zhang Xiu.

The monk's interference in the conquest between the princes is 100% an act of looking for, and he will be punished by heaven.

However, corpse cultivation is the anti-heaven of the anti-heavens, and it is always remembered by heaven.

The so-called debts are not worried, and lice are not itchy.

What's more, those zombies cultivated by Lich Zhang also seem to be able to bear the thunder tribulation in place of the master.

Of course, this is only not to the point where heaven and earth will be destroyed!

At that point, even if Zhang Xiu has more zombies carrying mines, it will be in vain.

……

In the grass hall, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong did not pretentiously and directly accepted Liu Bei's recruitment.

Then, of course, it is a banquet for the guests and hosts.

At the banquet, although everyone was drunk, Meng Gongwei and the three were worried.

Liu Bei took Hanzhong, this is already a must.

Then the problem arises.

Those armies under Zhang Lu are okay to say, but how can the Heavenly Master Dao standing behind him be broken?

Kong Ming has just come out of the mountain, is he going to fight to the death with a monk sect?

In the past, Kong Ming's behavior was only afraid that he would be punished by his master immediately:

Either imprison Zhuge Liang, or cut off the relationship with Zhuge Liang's master.

As a last resort, it is not a great feud between the survival of the sect, and between the monks and sects, it will not be stumbling!

However, today's Zhuge Kongming has a sword in his hand. According to the meaning of the head of the sect, Zhuge Kongming's actions in the future represent the will of the master, as long as it is not to subvert the master, the disciples of Lumen must obey Zhuge Kongming's orders.

"Let's go back to the mountain and take charge of the teacher's uncle!"

Meng Gongwei sighed silently in his heart, and then made a decision.

……

Full of wine and food, Meng Gongwei and the three of them said goodbye overnight, and they wanted to rush back to the division and report Kong Ming's decision to the uncle in charge. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei also had to rush back to Tongbai Mountain overnight, along with Pang Tong.

As for Zhuge Liang, he will go to Zhuyang early tomorrow morning and meet Liu Bei and them under Zhuyang Pass.

On the mountain road, although Liu Bei was excited, he still seemed worried.

"Mr. Shiyuan, can we buy a batch of grain and grass in the nearby towns, there is no shortage of grain and grass in the army." After pondering for a while, Liu Bei still asked Pang Tong.

When he fled from Xuzhou that day, Liu Bei only brought five days of grain and grass, and could not buy grain along the way, and Liu Bei could not bear to let the soldiers rob the people, so more than 1,000 people insisted to this day, and there was not much grain and grass left.

Pang Tong is a native of Jingxiang, so there may be no problem for him to come forward to buy grain, right?

On the back of the donkey, Pang Tong was drunk, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Kong Ming has already prepared three thousand stones of grain and grass in Chuyang, as long as Uncle Huang brings the team to the left of Zhuyang Pass, he will not worry about grain and grass!"

After the summer harvest, Zhuge Liang did buy some grain and grass one after another, and hoarded them in the house of the old man in Chuyang, plus the Huang family's stock of grain and grass, and now there are indeed more than 3,000 stones of grain and grass in Chuyang, waiting for Liu Bei to receive it.

This is the first gift that Zhuge Kongming gave to Liu Bei when he came out of the mountain.

With Liu Bei's current strength, 3,000 stone of grain and grass is enough for him to raise troops for three months.

Of course, during the war, these 3,000 stone grain and grass were only a month's consumption of 1,000 soldiers.
