Zhang Lu and the envoy quickly rushed from Nanzheng to Yangping Pass, and the envoy went out of the city again and agreed with Zhao Yun on some details.

Subsequently, Zhang Lu opened the gate and surrendered, Zhao Yun and others were welcomed into Yangping Pass, and Zhao Yun sent people to receive all places.

Zhang Lu calls himself "Shijun", implements the **** organizational model, has absolute authority in Hanzhong County, no one can question his decision, and all the handover work is carried out extremely smoothly.

The idea of heaven and earth as a teacher has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Zhang Lu, as a teacher and a king, used the power of religion to stabilize his regime, and used the power of the regime to promote the promotion of religion.

Because of its mild and lenient rule over the people, the people were happy.

Yangpingguan, Fuxian, Nanzheng and other places quickly raised the Liangzhou battle flag, and Zhao Yun's banner was raised in Nanzheng; Yangping Pass was the top priority, leaving a separate Sima and 5,000 infantry to guard to protect the rear road of the army.

By the time Shi Ah arrived, Fu County had already been taken in. However, this move surprised Zhang Lu a lot, first of all, he was surprised that Zhao Yun had such a strong army, and secondly, he was lucky in the secret way, if he did not surrender in advance, Yangping Pass would be difficult to protect.

Zhang Lu suggested to Zhao Yun that he should not raise his battle flag in Nanzheng City, but could lure Zhao Wei, the Taishou of Ba County, who came to support, into the city and eliminate him.

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Haha, Daochang Zhang just needs to sit and watch." ”

The term Taoist was originally an honorific title for Taoist and alchemist. After the establishment of Taoism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the term Taoist chief was an honorific title for Taoist priests. The dry surface is yang, so the dry road refers to the male Taoist, and the Kun table is really yin, so the Kun road refers to the female Taoist.

Zhang Lu continued to serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong County, but the county officials, the governors, and the county officials were all replaced by the people brought by Zhao Yun; As for the details of the mission, it needs to be determined after Gao Shun's approval, and Zhang Lu has no objection to this.

Gong Cao Yanpu and Yang Ang were both appointed to join the army, and followed Zhao Yun and Guo Jia into Shu to counsel the military and political affairs.

The former general of Zhang Lu, Yang Ren was appointed as the Sima of other departments, leading 5,000 infantry; Changqi was the military commander and led 3,000 infantry; The others will be appointed separately on the basis of competence.

Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei was appointed as Gong Cao, responsible for organizing the people of Hanzhong to repair the old way.

There are two mouths in the valley, the south is said to be Bao, the north is said to be oblique, so it is called the old road of Bao Xie, the south is Hanzhong County, the north is connected to the Guanzhong Plain, the total length is 470 miles, the mountains on both sides are steep and dangerous, the Shaanxi and the control of Sichuan and Shu, the ancient times are the place where the soldiers must fight; After Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong County, he burned down the old road, cut off the connection with the Guanzhong area, and facilitated the transportation of materials from the Guanzhong area after the repair.

Zhao Yun promised generous financial support, which would bring additional income to the believers and improve their lives, and Zhang Wei gladly accepted the order; Zhang Lu ordered Yang Song and others to assist.

Three days later, Zhao Wei led his troops to Nanzheng, and Zhao Yun and Guo Jia led civil and military officials out of the city to greet them.

Zhang Lu was shocked again, it turned out that Zhao Wei had already surrendered to Liangzhou, fortunately he surrendered early, otherwise he would have been slaughtered by others now; So he pretended to be happy and smiled: "Haha, Liu Zhang's father and son murdered and killed, making the heavens angry and resentful, and the people betrayed their relatives and left, retribution."

After introducing each other, Zhao Wei was shocked, he didn't expect Zhang Lu to surrender so quickly, let him run for nothing.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was so young and so handsome in appearance, Gan Ning felt that he might be an embroidered pillow, and was very dissatisfied with Bai Run's trip, so he saluted Zhao Yun and said: "Humble Gan Ning, who is a lieutenant under Zhao Taishou, wants to ask the prince to give him some guidance on martial arts." ”

"Xingba, don't be rude!" Zhao Wei knew that Zhao Yun was Gao Shun's brother-in-law, and he couldn't be offended, so he hurriedly came forward to stop Gan Ning.

Zhao Yun knew that everyone was not convinced, similar things had happened many times, and they had to be given a dismissal, otherwise similar things would happen in the future, so he pretended to be unimpressed and smiled: "Haha, it's okay, Zhao Taishou doesn't have to worry!" ”

Everyone also wanted to see if Zhao Yun had real skills or an incompetent little white face, so they didn't squeak.

Zhao Yun continued: "When Yun was in Bingzhou, the lord once mentioned that Yizhou Ganxingba has the courage of ten thousand people, especially good at bows and arrows, so we might as well learn from Xingba's best bow and arrow!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were very envious of Gan Ning, who could get such a high evaluation from Gao Shun.

Gan Ning was very beautiful in his heart, and being able to be evaluated like this made him a little fluttering, and he hurriedly saluted Zhao Yun: "Just by the orders of the prince." ”

"Okay, let's compare twice, one foot shooting, one horse shooting, Xingba will come first!"

"Yes, Marquis!" Gan Ning should go down.

There were already guards who had taken some targets from the school yard and set them up at a distance of 60 and 80 paces respectively.

Gan Ning first fired three arrows at the target of 60 steps, all of which hit the red heart, and a burst of cheers broke out at the scene, especially the thousands of people under Gan Ning's jurisdiction, who were even more excited and shouted.

Three arrows were fired at the 80-step target in a row, one arrow hit the red heart, and the other two arrows also hit the target, and the officers and soldiers at the scene cheered even more.

Then Zhao Yun shot six arrows in a row, three arrows hit the red heart of the 60-step target, and three arrows hit the red heart of the 80-step target, obviously better than Gan Ning.

Then shoot the horse.

There were five targets in one swing.

Zhao Yun shot first, galloped at high speed on horseback, 60 steps apart, shot five arrows in a row, and hit the target's red heart respectively; Ganning then fired, but only four arrows were fired, and all of them hit the heart; Gan Ning is slightly worse than Zhao Yun.

Gan Ning hurriedly dismounted and saluted Zhao Yun: "Junhou Shenwu, it is better to be ashamed!" ”

"Haha, Xingba is too modest! With Xingba's martial arts, under the master's hands, he can almost enter the top twenty. ”

The people of Hanzhong County were amazed by Zhao Yun's superb archery skills, and they were even more surprised that Gao Shun's subordinates were really talented.

Gan Ning heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, he was proud of his strong martial arts, and he couldn't even rank in the top 20 under Gao Shun, I don't know if Zhao Yun is praising him or belittling him?

Zhang Lu asked: "With the martial arts of the prince, how many people can be ranked under the lord?" ”

Zhao Yun smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, twenty years ago, it is estimated that it will be difficult to enter the top ten!" ”

"Huh?" The crowd was amazed.

Zhang Lu asked, "Junhou, is this really the case?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Haha, Zhang Daochang, what the prince said is true!" The lord's strong generals are like clouds, the wise men are like rain, and in the southwest borderland, the lord sent us to preside over the work. ”

Gan Ning asked, "Strategist, who is the most powerful?" ”

"The lord's opinion is that Li Mengwen, the general of the town army, and Huang Hansheng, the general of the Pingju, are tied for the first place, and no one in the world is invincible, neither of them has ever encountered an opponent, and whether the two are horse battles or foot battles, or bows and arrows, they are equally equal."

Everyone was very interested in this, and wanted to consult in detail, Zhao Yun said: "Okay, Zhao Taishou came from afar, the carriage and horses are tired, let's go to the city to rest and settle the officers and soldiers!" ”

"Yes, Marquis!" Everyone followed Zhao Yun into the city together.

That night, Zhao Yun held a banquet to entertain everyone, and even the officers and soldiers in the barracks improved their food.

The next day, when Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Zhang Lu and Zhao Wei were discussing the march, Gan Ning and Shi A competed again, and the two fought equally.

Gan Ning is very concerned about his status in Gaoshun's forces, and has been pulling Shi Ah to hold on, so he must consult clearly.

Shi Ah naturally thought that his master Wang Yue was on par with Li Qiang and Huang Zhong's martial arts, which was something he was proud of. But the next words hit Gan Ning very hard, Shi A believes that Gan Ning can't even enter the top 30.

Gan Ning asked unwillingly: "Since there are so many masters under the lord, why don't you send masters to occupy Yizhou?" ”

"Haha, the wild land of Bashu is not important to the lord, it is just used as a training for Zhao Junhou, just like Yongzhou, all the young generals are sent, and the masters are still arranged in the more important Central Plains; If you have the opportunity to Xingba, you will know when you arrive in Bingzhou or Jizhou, and even Gehu, who guards the city gate in Taoyuan Fort, is much more powerful than us. ”

After that, Shi A told them in detail about the situation of Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang and others, which not only made Gan Ning admire the Gao Shun forces, but also his subordinates secretly rejoiced, fortunately they took refuge in Liangzhou in advance, otherwise they would be enemies and would never have good results in the future; This also made Gan Ning and others loyal to Gao Shun all their lives, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

Shi A comforted again: "Xingba doesn't need to be lost, horse fighting is not a strength, you can develop other strengths, for example, I am better at foot combat, and I am also a Sima for other departments; It's all to blame for Zhang Taishou surrendering too early, otherwise this time he would have taken Fu County, occupied Yangping Pass, and made military exploits, and he should have been promoted to Zhonglang General. ”

This made Gan Ning think carefully, he was not outstanding in horse warfare and foot combat, but he had been a water bandit and was familiar with water warfare, which was his greatest strength, so why not start from this aspect? When Yizhou is taken, a naval army will definitely be formed, and this is his opportunity, so he must seize it when the time comes.
