Crunch~

On the avenue outside Shunqing City, with the sound of the wheel axle of the carriage turning, a simple carriage slowly drove in from the west gate of Shunqing City.

"Master, where are we going now?"

At the front of the carriage, an honest-looking, sturdy man drove the carriage through the crowded streets on both sides, and whispered to the owner of the carriage.

"Loyal slave, you take me around this Shunqing City first"

The curtain opened, revealing a serene and peaceful face, the vicissitudes of life on his face and the long beard that had continued to rise, revealing his age, and looked at the sides of the prosperous street, with an innocent smile on his face.

"Yes, sir!"

When the sturdy servant named Chunu heard the command, he immediately pulled the reins and drove the carriage down the streets.

Shunqing City, the central part of Sichuan and Shu is the seat of the state of governance, and it is also the royal capital of the Wu and Han forces who call themselves the King of Han.

The entire city of Shunqing covers an area of more than 100 square kilometers, with a resident population of more than 600,000.

After several years of steady development, the streets of the city are lined with pedestrians, and there are all kinds of shops, which is a prosperous scene.

Shunqing City is planned as five districts in the east, west, south, north and south, the four districts are mainly the areas where the people and merchants live, the population is the most dense, the four districts are also stationed with a battalion of soldiers and horses to garrison the four gates, the central area located in the center of the city is the palace of the king of Han and the place where the yamen and dignitaries of the Han king's power live, the area is vast, and the building community is extraordinary.

During the daytime, Zhongnu drove the middle-aged man in a carriage to go around the entire Shunqing City, except for the palace and the yamen that restricted access, and went everywhere he could.

On the way, when he encounters some interesting places, the middle-aged man will stop to take a look and wander aimlessly in some shops.

At that time, the night gradually covered the entire Shunqing City, and the carriage that had been swaying on the street slowly came to the central area, and finally stopped in front of the mansion of Lu Zhao, the head of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Zhao, a native of Wenbiao Township, Yichun, Jiangxi Province in the Tang Dynasty, was the champion of Tang Huichang for three years, and has successively made assassination history in Shezhou, Xuanzhou, Chizhou, and Jizhou in history.

The current Lu Zhao came to this world when he was in Shezhou, and in the process of Wu Han launching a war to unify Chongzhou, Mao Sui recommended himself, and gradually won the trust of Wu Han, and finally became the long history of the Han Palace, and was regarded as the No. 1 minister by Wu Han's side.

"Little brother, as soon as I get tired of it, I will say that the old people of Yongzhou want to see me, and Lord Changshi will meet you"

Getting out of the car and coming to the door of the Lu Mansion, the middle-aged man avoided the sight of others, quietly handed a silver tael to the little man guarding the door of the mansion, and said politely.

"Wait a minute, sir"

The little guy nodded the silver ingot in his hand, his face was happy, and he politely bowed to the middle-aged man, and after speaking, he went straight to the house to report.

"The old man of Yongzhou?"

Lu Zhao, who was writing and painting in the study, frowned slightly.

Since the beginning of the expansion of the third year of the Great Dispute, the Huaguo whose sphere of influence has touched Changzhou has gradually entered the eyes of the upper officials of the Han Dynasty, Yongzhou is not the most prosperous center of the Huaguo in the rumors, and when will he have an old man there.

"Please!"

However, after thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhao's heart moved slightly, and he still ordered someone to invite the middle-aged man in.

"This official Lu Zhao, Your Excellency claims to be the old man of this official, I don't know what the purpose is?"

When he saw the unfamiliar face of the middle-aged man, Lu Zhao's face sank, and his eyes focused on the middle-aged man and said sharply.

"Don't blame Lord Lu, in Xia Zhang Lu, from Yongzhou, in order to meet the adult, he has to make this decision!"

In the face of Lu Zhao's questioning, the middle-aged man was not in a hurry, bowed to Lu Zhao, and apologized calmly.

"It's not an old man, and the official is very busy, so he won't entertain Your Excellency, please!"

Lu Zhao's eyes froze, and he unceremoniously evicted the guest.

Zhang Lu's name is extremely ordinary, and with Lu Zhao's status, he doesn't want to be an official with such a small person.

"Lord Lu, it's a matter of life and death for the Han army, why don't you listen to the next word?"

In the face of Lu Zhao's bad attitude, Zhang Lu was not annoyed, he still looked at Lu Zhaodao calmly, and the confidence exuded by his body was convincing.

"The people in my Chongzhou are living a stable life, all the people are in their hearts, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers under my command are united, how can I say that life and death are life-and-death, it is simply alarmist!"

Lu Zhao's eyebrows raised, stared straight at Zhang Lu for a while, and opened his mouth to scold.

Perhaps infected by the self-confidence exuded by Zhang Lu, Lu Zhao did not say anything about it again.

"Haha, now the general of the Qin State Wang Jian is leading hundreds of thousands of Qin troops to attack the land of Sichuan and Shu, Hou Qin has fallen, Hou Shu has fallen, only Shu Han Liu Bei is left to breathe, if there is no accident, Suizhou will eventually fall into the hands of the Qin army, once the Qin army annexes Jianzhou, Anzhou, Meizhou, Dezhou, Suizhou and other five states, the entire Sichuan and Shu region has been mostly in the hands of Qin, at that time, does Lord Lu think that only with the unsafe Chongzhou can block the surging tiger and wolf army of Qin? Isn't this a time of life and death? ”

Zhang Lu waved his hand, asked again and again in a high voice, and then said:

"What's more, today, Lord Lu once again suggested to the King of Han about resisting Qin, so why pretend to say it"

"Your country knows the situation of my Han Palace!"

Hearing Zhang Lu's last words, Lu Zhao's face instantly turned blue, and his eyes showed a cold light.

Today's suggestion was something he talked about to Wu Han in private in the palace, but he didn't want it to reach Zhang Lu's ears so quickly, and his penetration into the Han palace could be imagined, and he was extremely afraid to think about it.

"Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, our Majesty has always attached great importance to the collection of intelligence, and this little thing is not enough to worry about"

Zhang Lu didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his mouth, and still smiled.

"Lord Lu, the Qin army is our common enemy, why don't we join hands to fight the enemy, as long as you present this thing to the King of Han when you make another suggestion tomorrow, he will definitely agree to send troops to fight Qin"

Then, Zhang Lu took out a yellow cloth roll from his sleeve, handed it to Lu Zhao, and said confidently.

"Is this an overkill?"

When Lu Zhao opened the yellow cloth scroll and saw the big seal with eight big characters on the last inscription under the cloth scroll, Lu Zhao couldn't help but exclaim with a look of horror.

This was actually a holy decree stamped with the jade seal of the Han Dynasty, in the name of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, ordering Wu Han to send troops to attack the Qin army, so as to contain the attention of the Qin State for the actions of the Han Empire in the capital of the state.

If it weren't for the fact that this decree was from Zhang Lu, Lu Zhao would not have seen that this was an edict.

This edict will not be useful if it falls into the hands of others, but if it falls into the hands of him, the head of the Han Dynasty, it can play a big role.

Although Wu Han unified Chongzhou, with hundreds of thousands of troops and more than 8 million people under his rule, he still did not claim the title of emperor, but respected Liu Xiu, the emperor of the Han Guangwu Emperor who sat in the Han Empire in the Central Plains, as the emperor, and his loyalty to Liu Xiu can be described as dead.

"Extraordinary times, when extraordinary means!"

Zhang Lu generously admitted it and said disapprovingly.

"Okay, I will present this thing to the King of Han tomorrow, but it is not to help you, but to the people of Chongzhou"

Holding the edict in his hand, Lu Zhao pondered alone for a long time, and finally raised his head to look at Zhang Lu and said word by word.

"Lord Lu understands the righteousness and admires it. By the way, there is a sentence that I hesitated for a long time, and finally I couldn't help but want to persuade Lord Lu, the King of Han is brave and unplanned, although he is based on Chongzhou, he is by no means the master, and Lord Lu had better plan early! ”

Seeing that Lu Zhao agreed to present the edict in his hand, Zhang Lu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally looked at the silent Lu Zhao before leaving, and finally couldn't help but persuade.

And until Zhang Lu left, Lu Zhao was still alone in the study for a long time.

On June 27, the second year of the emperor's reign, Shi Lu Zhao, the governor of the Han Dynasty, held the holy decree of the Han Empire and advised Wu Han to send troops to attack Qin, and Wu Han, who had read the holy decree, happily promised to personally lead 300,000 troops to attack Qin on the third day.
