Zhang Lu has been entrenched in Hanzhong for more than 30 years.

His ancestor Zhang Ling, also known as Zhang Daoling, was the founder of the Five Dou Rice Sect.

His father, Zhang Heng, was the second-generation Heavenly Master of the Five Doumi Sect.

Zhang Lu's father has the same name as Zhang Heng, who invented the geodynamic instrument, but he is not the same Zhang Heng.

Inheriting the Taoism of his ancestors, Zhang Lu promoted the Five Dou Rice Sect in Hanzhong, which was widely recognized and supported, thus mastering the entire Hanzhong.

For more than 30 years, Zhang Lu has been quite diligent, and although Hanzhong has not developed like Yizhou and other places, there have been no particularly serious disasters.

Before Liu Bei entered Yizhou, Liu Zhang was eyeing Hanzhong.

But Zhang Lu didn't buy his account, even if Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother and younger brother in anger, he still failed to force him to commit it, which made the relationship between Hanzhong and Yizhou more and more tense.

Since Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Zhang Lu has been closing the door of Hanzhong.

Liu Bei repeatedly surrendered, but Zhang Lu was always unmoved.

It wasn't until the Cao family sent someone to contact Liu Zhang that people understood his intentions.

He had long been willing to serve the Cao family, and he didn't fall in love with Liu Bei, who claimed to be a relative of the Han family.

Tian Feng and Jiang Gan came to Hanzhong, everything would have been logical, but at a critical time, the brothers Yang Song and Yang Bai rebelled and imprisoned Zhang Lu and Tian Feng and Jiang Gan from Shouchun.

Yang Bai was beheaded by Chen Zhi, and when he got the news, Yang Song was full of anger.

He angrily took several guards to the prison and went straight to the cell where Zhang Lu and the others were being held.

Zhang Lu was held in the same cell as Tian Feng and Jiang Gan.

Hearing footsteps, they all looked up.

Outside the cell, Yang Songtie blushed: "You are living a good life, but you don't know that the time of death has come." ”

They all turned their faces to the side.

Jiang Gan smiled coldly.

"What are you laughing at?" Yang Song was already annoyed in his heart, and Jiang Gan's smile made him even more angry.

"What can I laugh at?" Jiang Gan pursed his lips and said, "It's just laughing at you." ”

"What's so funny about me?" Yang Song frowned and asked angrily.

"Laugh at your approaching death, and you still come to us." Jiang Gan stood up and looked at Yang Song with a smile: "Believe it or not, we died on the first day, and you will be buried with you the next day." ”

"Then I'll kill you and see if that's the case." Yang Song gritted his teeth and replied.

But he didn't order the guards to take Jiang Gan out.

"Why don't you take me out?" Yang Song didn't give an order, but Jiang Gan laughed: "Are you afraid?" ”

"It's not easy to want to die? I'm going to leave you behind and torture you slowly. Yang Song gritted his teeth: "Cao Zi melted my brother, I must crush your bones and scatter ashes in order to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

Zhang Lu and others didn't know that Yang Bai was dead.

When Yang Song said this, Jiang Gan was stunned.

But then Tian Feng laughed: "The lord didn't have the leisure to come to Hanzhong, in my opinion, the one who killed your brother must be his general!" ”

The soldiers who came back from the battlefield had already told Yang Song that it was Chen Dao who killed the people.

He said with a gloomy face: "The one who killed my brother was none other than Chen Dao, the commander of the Dragon Pattern Cavalry. ”

"It's Uncle Chen?" Tian Feng shook his head with a smile: "Just now I was going to stop Ziyi and ask him not to talk nonsense, but it was Chen Shuzhi who came, and I felt that Ziyi was not talking nonsense." ”

It's just that I've heard of the name of the dragon pattern rider, but I don't know how powerful they are, Yang Song asked: "What kind of character is Uncle Chen, and what can he do when he comes?" ”

"He's not a big guy, he's just taking the head of a general in the army, it's like picking up something." Tian Feng replied: "Although you have thousands of troops and horses to escort you in Han, it is easy for him to take your head. ”

Yang Song obviously didn't believe what Tian Feng said, and he snorted coldly.

Tian Feng asked, "Don't you believe it?" ”

"Of course not." Yang Song said: "Since you say so, I will let you live first." When I capture and kill Uncle Chen, I will come and take your head. ”

"Waiting for you!" Tian Feng smiled and nodded.

Yang Song came here to give Tian Feng and others a good look.

But Tian Feng and Jiang Gan looked fearless, but they praised Chen Zhiyi in front of him, which made him very unhappy.

Glaring at Tian Feng fiercely, Yang Song snorted coldly and turned his head to leave.

When he walked away, Zhang Lu, who was in the same cell with Tian Feng and Jiang Gan, asked, "What kind of character is that Uncle Chen?" ”

"Uncle Chen is here, Zhang Gong can rest assured." Tian Feng replied: "He is the commander of the dragon pattern cavalry under the command of the lord, and he has always been brave, the lord sent him to Hanzhong, even if we can't kill Yang Song, we will definitely be able to retreat." ”

Tian Feng was extremely confident in Chen Zhi, but Zhang Lu sighed: "It's a pity that I lost Hanzhong, and I don't have the face to see General Zirong!" ”

"If the lord wants Hanzhong, he will definitely not only send General Shu Zhi here." Tian Feng said: "Listening to what Yang Song said, he should be the only one who came. It can be seen that the lord wants Zhang Gong this time, not Hanzhong. ”

"Without Hanzhong, what use am I for?" Zhang Lu sighed and shook his head: "Even if I go to Shouchun, I'm afraid I won't be treated." ”

"Don't think too much about it, if the lord is like that, how can he be today?" Tian Feng replied: "Hanzhong is still here, but Zhang Gong has only one. If you live, Hanzhong will fall into our hands sooner or later. If you are killed, if the lord wants to take Hanzhong again, it will not be as easy as saving you out. ”

"So...... Am I still somewhat useful? Zhang Lu was most worried that he would be useless to Cao Shuo, and when Tian Feng said this, he was relieved a lot, but he still felt a little puzzled.

Tian Feng replied: "The truth of what I said, when Gong Zhang sees the lord, everything will be understood." ”

Having said this, Zhang Lu didn't want to ask any more questions, so he could only keep silent.

At the same time, Chen Zhi and Zhang Wei came not far outside the city.

The two of them settled the soldiers they brought in a secret place, and Zhang Wei accompanied Chen to the city.

Seeing the city from afar, Zhang Wei said: "Hanzhong has a vast territory and a large population under its rule, and my brother has spent a lot of effort for so many years, but he has never been able to govern this place as ...... as the Central Plains."

"Like the Central Plains?" Chen Zhi replied: "The Central Plains has been in war for many years, and the people have been displaced, and I don't know how many people envy Hanzhong and want to move here to live permanently." ”

"I mean Hanzhong is not as rich as the Central Plains, but it has ushered in the same war as the Central Plains." Zhang Wei sighed: "The Central Plains has been in turmoil for many years, at least it was once rich, but what has there been in Hanzhong?" ”

"There will be later." Chen Zhi said: "As long as the lord occupies this place, the people will live a stable and prosperous life like Shouchun sooner or later." ”

He then asked, "What should I do if I want to enter the city?" ”
