Chapter 385: Zhang Lu's Decision
Zhang Lu didn't expect that a small Yang Fu would have such an ability to easily conquer Wudu County, which was personally controlled by his eldest disciple, so that he would completely lose the barrier in the north, and be completely surrounded by Liu He and Liu Bei without gaps, even if he wanted to escape, it was impossible at all.

"I really didn't expect that just one Yang Fu would push me to the brink of life and death, I originally thought that it should be at least after Liu He came. Liu was Liu He, both surnamed Liu, but none of them had a good thing, they were all the same cunning and had no faith. Alas, grandfather, what you said in your dream that I was waiting for Cao Gong to come will not come true. Zhang Lu secretly smiled bitterly, knowing that it was time for him to make a choice, but Zhang Lu was hesitant about whether he would surrender to Liu Bei or Liu He.
However, at this moment, I only heard Yan Puyu report: "Lord, there is a messenger outside who claims to be sent by Xu Huang, named Deng Zhi, who came to see the lord to discuss something, and this person asked the lower official to tell the lord, the reason why he came to see the lord is mainly to help the lord keep your Dao system." ”
"What? Keeping my lineage? Zhang Lu was hit in the soft underbelly all of a sudden, and no matter how the other party knew what he cared about the most, he quickly decided to greet him in person.
"I've seen Zhang Shijun in Xia Xinye Deng Zhi."
"Mr. Deng is not very polite, please take a seat." Zhang Lu didn't expect the other party to call himself directly according to his self-proclaimed name in the Five Bucket Rice Sect, and his good impression suddenly increased, and he politely invited Deng Zhi to sit down.
After sitting down, Zhang Lu said again: "I heard that Mr. Deng has a way to save my Taoism, I don't know what Mr. taught me?" ”
I saw Deng Zhi Zhengse said: "Shijun should know that when Zhang Jiao founded Taiping Dao, the momentum was huge, there were many believers, and it swept most of the Han Dynasty, and the name of the Three Dukes almost shook the Han world, but this was only almost, and then after that, heroes from all over the country rose up, heroic heroes, no matter how powerful he was in Taiping Dao, he could only be helpless to perish in the end, Shijun knows why?" ”
Zhang Lu was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”
Deng Zhi laughed and said: "Actually, this matter is very simple, Zhang Jiao created the Taiping Dao before, how great is the momentum?" However, in the end, the fiasco was not a small number of people, mainly because he did not understand the people's back, the will of heaven belonged, he thought that God had abandoned the Han, so he put forward the slogan that the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established, but what was the result? My Han is still the will of heaven, Zhang Jiao, Shi Changshi, Dong Zhuo, Li Dao Guo Yan and other thieves are like clowns jumping off the beam, and they have appeared in the world, but what is the final result? It's all gone, but on the other hand, why can Confucianism flourish? It is not that Confucianism has a long history than Taoism, in fact, the founder of Taoism Lao Tzu is still the teacher of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, this is mainly because Confucianism has the support of the Son of Heaven, with the support of Emperor Xiaowu, my dynasty has deposed a hundred schools of thought, and respected Confucianism alone, so that Confucianism is prosperous and prosperous, so if you want to spread, you must also get the support of the government. And having his support is the best choice for whether your Dao system can be sustained. ”
"Sir, do you mean that your lord is the so-called British master?" Zhang Lu glanced up at Deng Zhi and asked.
I saw Deng Zhi nodding and smiling: "Yes." In fact, this is not a deliberate exaggeration, it is true, Shijun, you have also seen how Liu Bei treated people, he was under Gongsun Zhan at the beginning, and later turned his back on Gongsun Chan and ran to Yuan Shao, and later abandoned Yuan Shao to defect to Tao Qian, and in Xuzhou he relied on means to seize the position of the lord of Xuzhou, and then lost to Lu Bu, and then took refuge in Lu Bu, and then rebelled against Lu Bu, and then voted for Liu Biao after defeat, now you know this situation, it must be anti-Liu Biao and self-reliant, and after arriving in Yizhou, he rebelled against Liu Zhang, if you hand over Hanzhong to him, Although you will live because of your reputation, you will definitely not live comfortably in the second half of your life, and as for the Dao system you care about, it is estimated that it will not exist, as long as you lead the people to surrender, I believe that between the ten months, your sect will be bloodily suppressed. ”
“.…… What you say makes sense, but what about your father-in-law? Can he help me perpetuate my lineage? ”
"Of course, this point of course, first of all, in terms of character, Shijun should know that all those who surrender to my lord of the family, none of them live an inhuman prisoner life, even if General Ma Chao betrayed him repeatedly, and now he is still reused by my lord, just this mind, no one in the world can match, and my lord also wants me to promise Shijun that as long as you are willing to surrender, you will be able to ensure that your Taoism will be continued, and my lord here has a silk letter for you, if you can do it according to his vision, Not only can the Dao system be continued, but you yourself will be able to go down in history in the Dao Sect and be remembered by future generations, and it is not impossible for you to have an influence that surpasses that of Ling Zu in the future. ”
After Deng Zhi finished speaking, he handed Zhang Lu a scroll of silk books.
Zhang Lu took the silk book and read it for a while, then became dumbfounded, and muttered: "This, this is really amazing, it is really too talented, and it actually ranks the legendary characters in my Daomen into a well-layered and complete system, and this time looks so convincing, three Qing, four royal, five elders, no matter where such a rank is placed, no one will ever shake its status, and the immortals are divided into seven levels, each level is listed at a clear level, This proves that this person has not only studied the people in the Daomen, but also studied it very thoroughly, even we are ashamed of ourselves, if we can really do this, all the sects and factions of my Daomen will be unified, and there will be less internal strife, which is naturally conducive to our development, and the most heartwarming thing is that he is willing to give me the power of Taoism to give me the exclusive enjoyment of the Heavenly Master, which means to support me as the supreme leader of the Daomen, and I can't even dream of such treatment. ”
"How? My father-in-law has given you enough benefits, right? In fact, Deng Zhi didn't know what Liu He wrote in this, but when he saw Zhang Lu's shocked look, he knew that the conditions must be very tempting.
"Although it is proposed that the true Son of Heaven is one of the four emperors, the Ziwei Emperor, has come to the world, and it is also proposed that the true Son of Heaven and the gods and generals under his command should be fully guarded, this is different from the tradition, but what about this? If I don't give him a certain benefit, why does he give me so much? ”
When Zhang Lu thought of this, he immediately made a decision, and said loudly: "I'd rather be a slave for the Marquis of Ji than a guest for Liu Bei!" Lu has already decided, so he surrendered to the Marquis of Ji, handed over the treasury and household registration, and asked Mr. to let General Xu Huang enter the city quickly, because Lu expected that Liu Bei would definitely come to Nanzheng soon. ”
