This night, the night was awe-inspiring, the starry sky was brilliant, and the stars were dotted.

South Zhengcheng is peaceful.

In the past, the Wu army attacked the city on a large scale because some people in the city turned against each other and assisted in entering the city, so it was very smooth and did not cause great damage to the largest and most prosperous city in Hanzhong.

After the Wu army entered the city, there was no major purge, although it was blocked by many people of the Wudoumi Sect, but Zhao Yun was calm and did not start killing.

Therefore, apart from changing its banner, this city has not changed much.

One of the highest peaks in the city, reaching into the clouds, is called Tianshi Mountain.

This is the base camp of the Heavenly Master League, and it is also the place where the altar of the Five Dou Mi Sect is located, but at this moment, the foot of the Heavenly Master Mountain has been heavily surrounded by the soldiers of the Wu army.

"Zuo Guoshi, the Wudou Mi Sect has a very high reputation in Nanzheng City, if my Great Wu soldiers and horses forcibly attack the mountain, it will cause the anger of the people in the city, and now you can only come forward in person!"

In the night, the light of the torches was reflected, Zhao Yun put his hands behind his back, looked at Zuo Ci who was wearing a Taoist robe, and said in a deep voice: "If Great Wu wants to rule the land of Hanzhong, the Five Doumi Sect must be uprooted!" ”

In June, Sun Quan had already established Taoism as the national religion of Great Wu, with Zuo Cixian Weng as the national teacher of Great Wu.

However, many people in the imperial court did not know what he meant, and some even thought that Sun Quan was following the example of Qin Shi Huang in his pursuit of immortality, and planned to summon monks and refine pills in the name of Taoism.

So when he established the state religion and conferred the title of national teacher, at first many people opposed it, and even the cabinet and the military aircraft department made a fuss.

But Sun Quan was a dictatorship and still set up Zuo Ci as a national teacher.

Before, although Zhao Yun believed that Sun Quan was definitely not the kind of emperor who pursued ethereal immortality, he didn't quite understand the usefulness of the national teacher, but when Zhao Yunnan Zheng Cheng saw Zuo Ci, he had a trace of Sun Quan's thoughts in his heart.

Use Taoism to deal with Taoism. Attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son is really a good move.

Where Taoism is, it educates sentient beings.

If it is used well, it will be an invincible sword in Sun Quan's hands.

He couldn't help but admire Sun Quan's foresight.

"Da Wu established Taoism as the state religion, and Benxian is both a national teacher and a righteous name. Taoism in the world is a family, how can they kill each other, this immortal will advise them well! ”

Zuo Ci looked indifferent, his temperament was ethereal, he was not flustered, and said lightly: "Although the Heavenly Master Alliance is strong, it can't be on the stage after all, I can do it alone!" ”

"Zuo Xianweng, according to our Jinyiwei news. There are still some masters of the Heavenly Master Alliance on the Heavenly Master Mountain, and I'm sure they still have a lot of Heavenly Thunder, do you need me to send some soldiers to turn into rangers to help? Zhao Yundao.

"It doesn't have to be this way!"

Zuo Cixian was bone-winded, the Taoist robe was neat, and he walked out step by step, walking towards the top of the mountain, as if there was no one around: "There is only a way to solve the Daomen, and Zhang Lu is not there." Five out of ten masters of the Heavenly Master Alliance are gone, and the rest should be used by me. In order to fill the prestige of my Great Wu State Religion! ”

"The national teacher insists on this, Yun has no choice but to obey orders, if the national teacher is in need, with the sky-high fire as the number, let us lead the troops to kill!" Zhao Yun looked at Zuo Ci's back as he gradually disappeared on the dark mountain road, and arched his hand.

He also didn't want to send troops. Now the Wudoumi Sect in the city is a little crazy, if he forcibly sends troops to attack the Tianshi Mountain, it will cause a civil uprising, and he is not afraid does not mean that he doesn't care.

"General, you said that Your Majesty is for a mere Five Doumi Sect. Isn't it too much to set up a Taoist gate for the country? ”

Ling Tong's body stood beside Zhao Yun, looked at Zuo Ci's distant back, and said in a low voice: "Once the state religion is established, it will affect the entire Great Wu, if the Daomen is developing a Taiping Dao, wouldn't it mess with my Great Wu, isn't it just a Heavenly Master Alliance, and it is just a little bit of influence in Hanzhong, if you want me to say, just kill it directly!" ”

"Ling Tong, we are soldiers, we naturally do things in the style of soldiers, but Your Majesty looks at the overall situation, he must have a purpose in doing things, and there must be other things that can be used in this door!"

Zhao Yun squinted his eyes and smiled coldly.

A mere Heavenly Master League is not worthy of such a great Wu to establish a national religion and confer the position of national teacher, Sun Quan must have other intentions.

But he didn't quite understand it, but he believed in Sun Quan.

"All those who questioned His Majesty's decision at the beginning will eventually find out that what His Majesty did is something we can never guess, and time will prove that Your Majesty is right!"

Zhao Yun said firmly: "We just need to believe in Your Majesty, since he established the state religion, we don't care whether we approve it or not, at least within the scope of military regulations and laws to support them!" ”

"The last general understands!"

Ling Tong nodded, and the Wu people all said that Sun Quan had an unconditional trust in Zhao Yun, but what he couldn't see was Zhao Yun's unconditional obedience to Sun Quan.

"Zhang Lu is still in Dingyuan Military Town?" Zhao Yun raised his head, looked at the sky, and suddenly asked.

"Hmm!"

Ling Tong nodded and said: "It is estimated that he wants to struggle, Hanzhong either belongs to Cao Wei or our Great Wu, after he lost Nanzheng, it will be a little redundant to stay in Hanzhong, I heard that Cao Cao has given three holy decrees in a row to let him enter Beijing, but he will be worthless if he leaves Hanzhong, so he has been dragging it out, and I want to be curious about his decision now!" ”

"Do you think he will be in a hurry to directly oppose Cao Wei?"

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up.

"It's a little hard to say, but the odds are slim to none!"

Ling Tong thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "I guess he doesn't have the guts, besides, he is not stupid, he betrayed Cao Wei, and it is impossible for our Sun Quan to let him dominate Hanzhong, the most ideal outcome is to be imprisoned in Jinling, it is the same fate, why should he do this more, and in the battle of Dingyuan, he and I have a lot of hatred!" ”

"That's right! This king of Hanzhong has a very heavy ranger reckless atmosphere, I killed several of his favorite generals, he will never vote for my Dawu! Zhao Yun said helplessly.

"General, now that General Xuezhou has gone north, as long as they cross Hanchang, they can go straight to Hanshui along the Jialing River, and with their reinforcements of soldiers and horses, we will open up the waterway of the Yangtze River, and ensure that under the logistics, we can naturally counterattack Cao Wei, so as to take Hanzhong!"

"It's not that simple!"

Zhao Yun took out a piece of news from his sleeve: "Five days ago, the Liang army sent troops from Wudu Xiabiancheng. Taking advantage of the fact that Shu had no time to look north, under the influence of the chaos in Hanzhong, in just a few days, the Yinping Dao, Dianshi Dao, Gangshi Dao of the Guanghan vassal country, and the Baishui City of Guanghan County were taken by Han, with Baishuiguan as the core. Looking at Chengdu in the south, Zheng, in the east! ”

"Ma Chao is also eyeing Hanzhong?" Ling Tong was taken aback.

"Hehe, it is actually a matter of course that he wants to take advantage of the chaos to enter Hanzhong, in the face of the Liang army, we will be the first to bear the brunt, but if we want to swallow Nanzheng, it depends on whether he has this tooth, as long as Xuezhou can go north to open up the passage between the Jialing River and the Han River, so that we will not be isolated. I'm not afraid of anyone peeping around here! Zhao Yun said confidently.

"General, although we suffered a lot of casualties in the first battle of Dingyuan, but now we still have a lot of battles, or we will strike first and raid Yangping Pass, compared to Ma Chao or Zhang Lu, I am afraid that Cao Wei is our henchman!"

Ling Tong proposed: "If you can take Yangping Pass." We can pinch the throat of Guanzhong and enter Hanzhong! ”

"You're thinking too simply, if only the average person could fight a dozen. But Zhang He personally sat in Yangpingguan and had no hope! Zhao Yun shook his head: "Even if we want to fight, we are still staring at Dingyuan Military Town and fighting Zhang Lu, but now we have not yet gained a firm foothold, so we have to slow down!" ”

"Yes!" Ling Tong also knew that he was a little impatient.

"If Zuo Guoshi can win the Heavenly Master Alliance. It is the first step for us to stand firm! Zhao Yun looked at the looming light on Heavenly Master Mountain with his eyes in anticipation.

——————————————————

Two days later, Yangping Pass.

The Wei army battalion.

Zhang He looked at the news sent by the ghost pawn, and a playful smile rose on the corner of his mouth: "Wen Lie, look at this news, this Tianshi Mountain has been uprooted by Zhao Yun!" ”

"Great Wu National Master Zuo Ci entered Tianshi Mountain alone. In the name of Taoism, the remaining backbone of the Heavenly Master League was gathered, and the three protectors of the Heavenly Master League who stayed behind in the altar, two of them surrendered to Zuo Ci, and one ......was killed."

Cao Xiu gasped and looked at Zhang He: "The lair of the Heavenly Master League has been destroyed, Zhang Lu is going crazy this time!" ”

"Wrong, it's not crazy, and it's been driven to a dead end, Da Wu can be regarded as helping us, the division league was uprooted that day, he has no choice, if he is smart, he should know, at this time it should be answered, leaving Hanzhong is inevitable."

Zhang He smiled and said: "So Wen Lie, what you should think about now is how to incorporate the soldiers and horses under his command, these Hanzhong soldiers still have some combat effectiveness!" ”

"It's all up to the general!"

Cao Xiu's eyes lit up.

"You don't have to look at me, because I'm about to leave, and the court has just come to order, from now on, you will be the chief general of Yangping Guan!" Zhang He said.

"What about the general?"

Cao Xiu knew the news, but he didn't know where Zhang He went.

"Hehe, don't worry about me, you still have a lot of weight in Your Majesty's heart, you have already played for me, and Your Majesty will naturally not punish me heavily!"

Zhang He looked at this young man, felt a little grateful in his heart, smiled, and then said: "The court has given me a new task, I will make up for the merits, I want to take away five thousand cavalry, and the court has ordered Cao Zhen, the captain of the town military academy, to lead five thousand tigers and leopards to ride, has set off from Luoyang, to Yuzhou into Nanyang, and then wait for me in Shangyong, ten thousand cavalry, surprise attack!" ”

"Rendezvous in Shangyong City?" Cao Xiu was puzzled: "Where are you attacking?" ”

"Guess what?"

"The northeast of Shangyong City is Nanyang, and the southeast is Jingzhou, from Shangyong, it can only be Jingzhou, but ......"

Cao Xiu panicked in his heart, didn't continue, his face was a little ugly, and he looked at Zhang He: "Could it be that someone in the court wants you to send you to death?" ”

Jingzhou is the lair of the Flying Tiger battalion, even if the Flying Tiger Army is pouring out of the nest now, it is not easy to fight, only 10,000 cavalry fight Jingzhou, either looking for death or sending death.

"If I fail to win Hanzhong, it is already a capital crime, and I need to make up for it, and if I die in Jingzhou, it is a matter of course!"

Zhang He didn't care, his face was calm, and he said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for your pleading with Your Majesty, I'm afraid I would have landed on the ground, and there will be a chance for Dou Emi, and this surprise attack on Jingzhou is not to send you to death, we are not attacking the city, my task is to burn Jiangling Cang or Wuling Cang, with the ability of cavalry, plus Zhang Xiu's assistance, Jingzhou is already empty, I still have a chance to win!" ”

Wuling Cang and Jiangling Cang are the two big granaries established by Sun Wu, used to support the Western Expedition campaign, once burned, not to mention the Western Expedition that can directly destroy the Wu army, at least they can be delayed, the longer the time drags on, the greater the consumption of Sun Wu.
