Seeing Zhang Lu's earnest words, Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly, and smiled at Zhang Lu: "Liang doesn't want to deceive Shijun, if Shijun surrenders the city, Liang can't guarantee that the general will be invited by Shijun, all the way, Liangguan Hanzhong people, are grateful to Shijun, and they are poor and happy, Liang Ke should be under Shijun, and he will be in front of the general, suggesting Shijun's proposal, but whether the general agrees, Liang can't guarantee it." ”

Zhuge Liang said, Zhang Lu secretly said in his heart: Although Zhuge Liang is in power, no one in the world knows that Jing Xiang can really call the shots, or the people of Pang Mountain. However, Zhuge Liang's sincerity also won a lot of favor in Zhang Lu's heart, if Zhuge Liang didn't think about it, he happily agreed, how could Zhang Lu believe it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Lu nodded calmly, turned his horse's head and said, "Open the city gate and surrender with the old man." ”

Zhang Lu said, there were already soldiers in the city, pushing open the gate of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu and Zhuge Liang entered the city together, the soldiers in the city did not resist, and the weapons were all collected by the Xichuan army and horses, the Xichuan army was beaming, but Huang Zhong and others did not resist Xichuan, and they were quite unhappy.

Just came to Hanzhong for a turn, Zhang Lu honestly surrendered to Jingxiang, so what is the credit?

After entering the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Lu invited Zhuge Liang to live in all of you, and all the generals and colonels of Hanzhong stood under the steps, Zhuge Liang saw all the people in Hanzhong, looked respectful, and smiled mildly: "Shijun is willing to surrender the city, and my Xichuan soldiers are colleagues, you don't need to be so restrained." ”

After Zhang Lu presented the seal ribbon, he said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming military division, this Hanzhong treasury has enough grain, enough for 100,000 troops, and it will be used in March." ”

Zhang Lu said, Zhuge Liang looked puzzled, and said to Zhang Lu: "What Liang saw along the way, the people are not rich, why is the treasury in the city so sufficient?" ”

When Zhang Lu heard this, he said proudly: "In recent years, the wind and rain in Hanzhong have been smooth, and the grain and grass have been obtained, which is also a lot, and the old man has spread the doctrine widely, so that the people can take what they need, and not be greedy......

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he secretly praised in his heart, this Zhang Lu and Anmin together, sure enough, there are some means, after Emperor Ling, the princes around the country have experienced many wars, but Hanzhong is stable and peaceful, so it seems that Zhang Lu has countless people and has made great achievements.

It's just that Zhuge Liang secretly wondered in his heart, this Han is rich, why are the people so poor in their livelihoods? Zhuge Liang has seen Zhang Luqi, looking at his words and deeds, he is not a stingy person, Zhuge Liang can hardly figure out how this Wudoumi Sect can take care of Hanzhong into such a strange situation now.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was in thought, Zhang Lu did not bother, Zhuge Liang came back to his senses, and saw that Zhang Lu and all the Xichuan generals were waiting for the fall, and couldn't help laughing: "It's Liang who has neglected you, and now that Liang has entered Hanzhong, you should have a feast with Shijun and your colleagues." ”

After that, Zhang Lu and the generals of Hanzhong looked a lot better than before, a night of feasting, when all the generals in the palace were slightly drunk, Zhuge Liang asked Zhang Lu to meet in the back hall, and said to him that after the surrender, Zhang Lu went to Xichuan in person, and discussed with Pang Shanmin about the "Five Buckets of Rice Religion", and in front of Zhang Lu, the Xichuan army was recorded in detail all the way, which was regarded as helping Zhang Lu to persuade Pang Shanmin to continue the "Five Buckets of Rice Religion".

Zhang Lu got Kong Ming's letter, his heart was happy, and he smiled at Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming's military advisor, if you are a believer!" ”

The messenger quickly whipped up, all the way to Changsha, three days later, the Hanzhong war report appeared on Pang Shanmin's bookcase, Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong read the letter, Pang Tong's face was strange, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Kong Ming rarely praises people, so it seems that this Zhang Lu also has some ability, Tong thought that this Jingxiang is now a paradise in the world, but never thought that the people of Hanzhong are more harmonious than Jingxiang." ”

Pang Shanmin put down the letter and couldn't help laughing: "Shiyuan's words are also fallacious, if it is a paradise on earth, how can Pang attack Xichuan?" Shiyuan should not forget, although the Hanzhong treasury is abundant, the people are not rich, the current harmony of the people, is based on the turmoil in the world after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, if Hanzhong in recent years, it is not as good as the current wind and rain, the people are not hungry, will it be so harmonious? ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he was speechless for a long time, but he saw Pang Shanmin and said: "Ruo Shiyuan is curious, after Zhang Lu enters Changsha, Pang is willing to argue with him, as long as Zhang Lu will persuade his brother, he will make him a county Taishou and a missionary!" ”

"So it seems that my brother has won the battle?" Pang Tong smiled when he heard this: "In this case, after that Zhang Lu comes to Changsha, he will definitely see how his brother persuaded this master." ”

Zhang Lu's surrender of the city is not hidden, but in a few days, all the princes have known, since Hanzhong was under the control of Pang Shanmin, this Pang Shanmin occupies a vast area, among the princes, second to none, and Ma Teng, Jiangdong have slowed down the offensive against Cao Cao, Xu Shu and Zhou Yu are not stupid, such a situation, if Pang Shanmin did not communicate with Cao Cao before, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

Under Tongguan, the smoke is billowing, the Xiliang army and horses have been attacking the city for ten days, but they are not allowed to break the pass, now Ma Chao, Zhang Fei's generals have no such confident performance as before, this Jia Xu guards the Yutong Pass, which is impermeable, and is stunned to rely on the steep Tongguan, and the Xiliang army and horses are outside the city, and they are not allowed to enter.

In the tent, Ma Chao wiped the hot sweat on his face and said to Xu Shu: "The turtle with a shrunken head refuses to go out of the city, does the military advisor have a trick?" It's better to make someone pretend to be Cao Cao's military horse and open the gate by fraud! ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to Ma Chao: "The general doesn't know, this Jia Xu is not that Zhong Xuan's generation, his heart is forbearing, and he will not go out of the city easily...... And the general should not forget, now that our army is outside the city gate, I can't wait to pass, and Cao Jun doesn't dare to come out. ”

"It's a pity that it's useless." When Zhang Fei heard this, he was depressed in his heart, and said to Xu Shu: "Zhang Moukong has a lot of courage, but there is no use for martial arts, and he is very bored!" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he sighed and said: "And now in addition to occupying Tongguan, we must also beware of the 100,000 Jiangdong military horses in Hanzhong, taking advantage of the emptiness in my rear, waving the army to plunder, with Shu's understanding of Kong Ming, its next step should be stationed in my Xiliang land!" ”

"How dare he?" Ma Chao couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, grabbed Xu Shu's collar, and said to Xu Shu: "Since it is difficult to harvest in Tongguan now, Ma will go back to Tianshui and try this Pang Shanmin's catties?" ”

"Tianshui is under the rule of Han Sui, what does it matter to me?" Zhang Fei said impatiently: "Meng Qi, with that kind of kung fu, it's better to go to Tongguan to fight a few more times!" ”
