At that time, the princes of the Nineteenth Road discussed Dong, what a momentum, what a scene, at that time, the flags were all over the sky, and millions of male soldiers Chen Bing were sour dates, eyeing Luoyang, how happy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the original nineteen road princes, except for Qiao Mao was killed, most of the rest mixed well, in short, they had their own territory, especially the battle of the seven road princes in the south dominated by Yuan Shu to crusade against Liu Biao, which attracted the attention of the whole world.

But in Luoyang City, there is one person who is quite unsatisfactory, and this person is none other than Ma Teng.

Counting Ma Teng's past, Han Sui, who started with him, has become a prince, and he, Ma Teng, can only be a sick tiger in Luoyang City and guard the courtyard for Yuan Shao, which makes him happy.

Especially when he got the news, Lu Bu ordered Han Sui to raid his hometown, and after the Ma family was flattened, he almost died of convulsions, but fortunately, Han Sui later sent him a secret letter, saying that he did not embarrass Ma Teng's son and clansmen, and had let them flee to Hanzhong.

The Ma family is full of talents, especially Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, although he has just arrived at the year of the crown, he has already shown extraordinary potential and is quite talented.

Ma Chao led a few Ma family guards to escort his younger brothers to flee to Hanzhong, originally wanting to go to Luoyang to find Ma Teng, but after Zhang Lu, the Taishou of Hanzhong, learned of Ma Chao's identity, he sent troops to arrest Ma Chao, because Zhang Lu's mother was Liu Yan's concubine, and Zhang Lu was naturally loyal to the Western Han Dynasty and recognized Liu Xie as the Son of Heaven.

In the second year of the first peace, Liu Yan appointed Zhang Lu as the superintendent of Sima, and led troops with Sima Zhang Xiu of other departments to attack Hanzhong Taishou Sugu. After Zhang Xiu killed Su Gu, Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu again and captured his soldiers. And cut off the Xiegu Road, under the instruction of Liu Yan, killed the imperial court envoy, Liu Yan appointed Zhang Lu as the Taishou of Hanzhong, the gateway to Shuzhong.

Zhang Lu caught Ma Chao, naturally he wanted to give it to Lu Bu as a show of goodwill, now that Liu Yan is dying, I am afraid that he will not live long, Zhang Lu also wants to be the king of Hanzhong, but his own strength alone is definitely not enough, so he is ready to show favor to Lu Bu.

However, Zhang Lu underestimated Ma Chao's strength, and Ma Chao took the guards to kill all the soldiers sent by Zhang Lu, and then fled directly into the mountains, without a trace.

After Ma Teng received Han Sui's secret letter, he had been searching for Ma Chao's traces, and learned that Ma Chao was almost killed by Zhang Lu.

Yuan Shao has long been dissatisfied with Liu Biao and Liu Yan, these two people rely on themselves to be relatives of the emperor, and they are loyal to the Western Han Dynasty, this is not to give him face, Liu Biao now has Yuan Shu to clean up, originally Liu Yan was shrunk in Hanzhong, Shu Dao is difficult, it is not easy for him to send troops to fight, since Ma Teng is willing to fight Hanzhong, Yuan Shao has no reason to disagree, but feels that he is a very majestic general, and the princes of the world are all obedient.

Ma Teng's command is cavalry, when he was asking for Dong, Ma Teng brought 30,000 cavalry, although he lost a little, but the main force still existed, and the cavalry could not enter Shu Road, Yuan Shao then ordered to transfer 30,000 northern troops to assist Ma Teng to attack Hanzhong.

After Ma Teng received Yuan Shao's order, he immediately ordered his troops and horses, prepared enough grain and grass, and led his troops to attack Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu was a little panicked when he learned that Ma Teng was coming, after all, Ma Teng was a long-established general, and he had also participated in the battle against Dong, and his reputation was very great, so Zhang Lu immediately asked Liu Yan for help.

But at this time, Liu Yan was terminally ill and ignored political affairs, after Liu Zhang received Zhang Lu's letter for help, not only did not give Zhang Lu the slightest reinforcement, but cut off the grain and grass that was originally given to Hanzhong by Shu **, so that Zhang Lu was really worse.

Liu Zhang's resentment of Zhang Lu is not without reason, the cause is Zhang Lu's mother, this person often plays right and wrong in front of Liu Yan, and Liu Zhang is very unhappy about this.

Knowing that he was cut off by Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu was furious, but fortunately, he had a good mass base, and Tianshi Dao was very powerful in Hanzhong and even Shuzhong, and at the critical moment, he still hit the idea on Tianshi Dao.

Speaking of this Heavenly Master Dao, it is a great origin, the Heavenly Master Dao is created by Zhang Daoling, it is rumored that he is the eighth grandson of Zhang Liang, he can pass the Book of Virtue and Heluo Tu at the age of seven, the first year of Yongshou Emperor of Han Shun created a Zhengyi League in Heming Mountain, Taishang Laojun "granted three days of the right law, life for the heavenly master", self-proclaimed "three days of the master is a real person", and compiled 24 Taoist books.

Zhang Heng, the second-generation successor of Heavenly Master Dao, that is, the father of Zhang Lu, attacked the religion in the second year of Han Yongshou (156) and became the second generation of descendants, but this person went mad because of improper cultivation, and "soared" with Guanghe.

Before Zhang Heng died, he handed over the ancestral seal sword to Zhang Lu, but Zhang Lu was named the sect leader, but in fact, the power of the Heavenly Master Dao fell into the hands of Zhang Xiu.

In the first year of Zhongping, when Zhang Jiao rebelled, Zhang modified the Heavenly Master Dao to Wudou Mi Dao and responded to Zhang Jiao's uprising. When Liu Yan entered Shu, he suppressed the rebel army in Shuzhong, incorporated Zhang Xiu's five bucket rice divisions, and named Zhang Xiu as the Sima of other departments. Later, Liu Yan ordered Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu to attack Hanzhong and defend Sugu. After Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu covered up and killed Su Gu, they cut off Xiegu, and Zhang Lu attacked and killed Zhang Xiu, using the prestige of Zhang Luzu (Zhang Daoling) and his father (Zhang Heng) to regain the power of the church.

Although Zhang Heng is dead, Zhang Daoling, who disappeared in the eyes of the world, has always been alive, but he has no intention of mundane things and is eager to become an immortal, so he closed his death in Qingcheng Mountain.

Zhang Lu naturally didn't dare to alarm his grandfather, otherwise, he would have asked for help when Zhang Xiu was in control of the Heavenly Master Dao, and the reason why Zhang Daoling's disciples did not help Zhang Lu was mainly to see if Zhang Lu was a suitable successor, after all, the Heavenly Master Dao needed a qualified heir.

Zhang Lu did not go to Qingcheng Mountain, but came to Longhu Mountain in person to ask for his uncle.

Zhang Daoling has 3,000 disciples, and only three of them are really passed on: one is Wang Chang, one is Zhao Sheng, and the other is his son Zhang Heng. Wang Chang has been following his master for a long time, is good at astronomy, and is proficient in the art of Huang Lao, which is deeply appreciated by Zhang Daoling.

And Zhao Sheng's ability to obtain the master's Taoism has a history: Zhang Tianshi alchemized in Heming Mountain, and took half a dose of pills, broke through the Shenwu realm, and became an "immortal".

Later, one year, on the day of the order, a young man named Zhao Sheng, who was born of ice and jade and had a peaceful appearance, came from the east, and the heavenly master saw at a glance that he must be a strange person and wanted to accept him as a disciple. In order to test Zhao Sheng's degree of Taoism, Zhang Daoling had tested seven times, and as a result, it was found that he refused to be wealthy, endured humiliation, took pity on the poor in the world, and abided by the rules, which was satisfactory.

One day after the seventh test, Zhang Daoling led the disciples to climb the cliff of Yuntai Peak, and there was a peach tree under the cliff, which was full of red fruits. Seeing this, the heavenly master didn't say a word, and wanted to jump under the cliff to pick a big peach, all the disciples rushed up and stopped the master, only Wang Zhang and Zhao Sheng's two disciples, Mu Ran did not move, and was silent.

Who knew that the disciples did not stop them, Zhang Tianshi separated everyone, jumped down in the direction of the peach tree, all the disciples stood on the edge of the cliff, leaned down to look down, but there was no trace of the master, for a moment frightened and sad, looking at each other, helpless, disappointed.

Only Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng stood on the edge of the cliff, looked at each other silently, stopped for a long time, and the two said in unison: "Master and father, how can my generation be at peace with the unforeseen cliff?" The only way to go is to go with the master! ”

After saying that, the two of them jumped together and jumped in the direction of the master's projection, and a gust of wind rose, and the two disciples landed on both sides of the master. The Celestial Master smiled, "I knew you two would come!" ”

Therefore, the Heavenly Master granted the second disciple the Great Dao Technique. Three days later, the three of them returned to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and when the disciples saw it, they were shocked and couldn't regret it one by one.

Zhang Daoling was closed in Qingcheng Mountain, and no one was seen, only Zhao Sheng presided over the Qingcheng Taoist Temple, and Wang Chang guarded Longhu Mountain, which was the true apologetic person of the Heavenly Master.

Before Zhang Daoling's retreat, he had instructed: "The position of Shaowu will not be passed on to the descendants of my family." In this way, it is officially stipulated that the position of the heavenly masters of the past dynasties must have a inheritance relationship inherited by the Zhang family.

Zhang Lu appointed his younger brother Zhang Wei to temporarily act as the county guard, and he personally went to Longhu Mountain to ask for help from Wang Chang. When Wang Chang learned of Zhang Lu's arrival, he ordered someone to take him into Vipassana.

Wang Chang has been cultivating in Longhu Mountain, and handed over all the affairs in the Taoist temple to the disciples below to take care of, and the reason why Longhu Mountain has become the ancestral court of the Heavenly Master Dao is because there are countless hidden dragons and crouching tigers here.

Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Zhang Daoling's daughters, Zhang Daoling has four daughters, and now they are all cultivating in Longhu Mountain, ignoring mundane things, and Zhang Daoling's second son Zhang Quan is also one of the apologetics of Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Lu saw Wang Chang, and said directly: "Uncle Shi, my nephew is now too guarded in Hanzhong, but Ma Teng's generals have 100,000 soldiers to attack, and my nephew asked Shuzhong for help, Liu Zhang not only did not send a single soldier, but cut off the supply of grain and grass in Hanzhong, and the disciple thought that he was not Ma Teng's opponent, so he was cheeky to ask for help." ”

"Hmm!" Wang Chang said noncommittally: "The general trend of the world has nothing to do with me and other cultivators, but after all, you are the third generation of my Heavenly Master Dao leader, and Hanzhong is also the place where my Heavenly Master Dao believers are active, and this place cannot fall into the hands of Ma Teng, you can go, I have my own plans." ”

"Yes!" Since Wang Chang said this, Zhang Lu immediately retired, and then went to see his uncle and aunts, but except for Zhang Quan, none of the four aunts saw him.

Before Zhang Lu left, Wang Chang's disciples told him that Wang Chang had written a letter to Bajun Taishou and asked him to send troops to help, and Bajun was the place where the Heavenly Master Dao had the largest number of believers in Shuzhong except Hanzhong, and Wang Chang also sent two people to assist Zhang Lu.

The two people sent by Wang Chang to Zhang Lu are one Wen and one Wu, the name of the Wen is Yan Pu, who is a disciple of Wang Chang, and the name of the Wu is Pang De, Yan Pu is proficient in the strategy of military writing, and he has a thorough analysis of the general trend of the world, and what is even more rare is that this person knows how to protect himself.

After years of training, Pang De lived up to expectations, not only cultivated to be exquisite, but also had good insights into marching and fighting, and these two people were prepared by Wang Chang for Zhang Lu a long time ago.

Zhang Lu hurried back to Hanzhong with the two of them, and at the same time, Ma Teng also led his troops into the Meridian Valley.
