Liu Zhang's army finally moved and approached the head of Nanzheng City, Yang Song was full of surprise, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to cheer up, but the Sichuan army stopped at the place of Nanzheng's arrow, and stepped forward:

"Listen to the Hanzhong soldiers at the head of the city, my lord knows your tricks, you don't have to work in vain, I, General Wei Yan and the Qiang hero, Xifengchi, have entered from Dongcheng with an army of 8,000, and those who know each other will surrender quickly, otherwise, they will be killed."

The Hanzhong soldiers who set up an ambush in the city were all panicked, and Yang Song was even more suspicious, and at this moment, a Hanzhong soldier came to report: "Lord Yang, it's not good, the Sichuan army and the Qiang people have invaded Dongcheng, and Shijun and the ministers of civil and military affairs have been captured on the priest's rooftop." ”

"Ah, how can this be." The generals were shocked, Yang Song's face turned pale with fright, and then looked at the black Sichuan soldiers and horses outside, and no longer had the heart to fight.

A group of generals asked for surrender, Yang Song thought to himself that he had brought so many soldiers and horses to surrender, and Liu Zhang must not embarrass himself.

After weighing it, Yang Song stood up and said to the generals "painfully": "I, Yang Song, originally wanted to die in battle to save my full name, but Shijun was captured, if we fight to the death, Liu Zhang will harm Shijun, so helpless, I will follow your wishes." ”

The gate of Nanzheng City was opened heavily, the Hanzhong soldiers lined up from the inside, 10,000 people threw down their swords and spears together, Yang Song knelt on the ground with a group of generals, Yang Song bowed loudly: "Yang Song has heard the prestige of the Zhou Mu for a long time, and he does not dare to resist, and he is willing to surrender with Wanjia Natu." ”

"Please forgive your sins." All the generals bowed down together.

Liu Zhang looked at Yang Song, who was with thief eyebrows, turned his head and said to Fa Zheng: "I want to kill this person." ”

Fa Zhengdao: "Although Yang Song is a villain, he led 10,000 people to surrender, if he kills him, he is afraid of the heart of the world...... Well, I want to figure it out. Fa Zheng looked at Liu Zhang's expression and had to give in.

Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and raised his voice: "Yang Song has meritorious service, Feng Hanzhong joined the army, and the rest of the generals followed Yang Song to cooperate with General Zhang Ren to be recruited, and they were all rewarded." ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng galloped into the city, Liu Zhang looked at the bustling city and said to Fa Zheng: "Nanzheng really deserves to be the largest city in Dongchuan, almost comparable to Chengdu, Zhang Lu has been in Hanzhong for six years, although he is a believer, he still has some talent in governing one side." ”

Fa Zheng nodded approvingly, and the group arrived at the altar under the guidance of the soldiers, Xiao Furong waved his hand, and the barbarian soldiers escorted dozens of Han and Chinese military attachés to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang sat on the main seat, and asked unhurriedly: "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

"I'll wait for my wishes." A group of Han and Chinese martial artists admired Liu Zhang's cold-blooded reputation and bowed down together, only two people stood, one was Yan Pu, and the other was Zhang Lu in a Taoist robe.

Zhang Lu is not an ambitious person, nor is he a man who is not afraid of death, and he does not surrender to Liu Zhang, just because he has a grudge against him to kill his mother, Liu Zhang also knows this, and stepped forward from his seat and said in a voice that only Zhang Lu could hear: "If the master surrenders, I will entrust you to guard Hanzhong and continue to take charge of the civil affairs of Hanzhong." ”

Zhang Lu was slightly moved, he had been in charge for several years, attacking Xichuan from time to time, and even conspired with Pang Xi to take Chengdu, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to be willing to let him continue to be in charge of Hanzhong, if other princes were like this, Zhang Lu would have been grateful.

But the hatred of killing his mother is not shared, how can Zhang Lu be obedient, turned his head and said: "The general of the defeated army has nothing to say, if you want to kill, kill it." ”

Liu Zhang smiled softly: "Shijun is not afraid of life and death, Liu Zhang really admires, but does Shijun want to watch the Wudou Mi Sect disappear from now on?" ”

Zhang Lu raised his eyebrows: "The Five Doumi Sect members are more than 100,000, what can you do?" ”

"Slaughter the city." Liu Zhang's tone was flat, and he said indifferently: "Anyway, Hanzhong is the foundation of Shijun, if I kill Shijun, Hanzhong will definitely be unstable, it is better to slaughter all of them to be happy, unless Shijun thinks that this official will not dare." ”

"You ......" Zhang Lu was speechless angrily, pointing at Liu Zhang's lips trembling, the Five Doumi Sect is the foundation of Zhang Ling, Zhang Heng, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lu's four generations, how can Zhang Lu bear to abandon it once, but he can't make up his mind to surrender Liu Zhang.

"Alright." Liu Zhang pressed Zhang Lu's fingers down: "I know that Shijun is angry with me for my mother's affairs, when I lost my wife, I implicated Shijun's mother, and now I can't regret it, the people of Hanzhong can't do without Shijun, if Shijun agrees to help me, Liu Zhang is willing to make amends to Shijun in front of Yizhou civil and military, and build a tomb for Lingtang to worship." ”

Liu Zhang said this, not really because there was no Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, but because he saw that Nanzheng was peaceful and the people were rich, and he couldn't bear to kill Zhang Lu and stir up the peace of the party.

Liu Zhang bowed to Zhang Lu, and the surrounding civil and military were all moved, Zhang Lu looked at Liu Zhang in front of him, struggled for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's it, Lord Zhoumu, you get up." ”

Liu Zhang raised his head and said happily: "Shijun, did you promise this official?" ”

Zhang Lu shook his head slowly, and said abruptly: "The adult killed my mother, how can I be an official under the adult, thinking that I and Zhang Xiu divided Hanzhong, but I just wanted to find a peaceful place to preach, and realize the ambition in my heart, and then Zhang Xiu slowly became ambitious, in vain to use the Wudou Mi Sect to dominate the world, I had to kill him."

After several years of operation, I finally have today's prosperity in Nanzheng, and the people are simple and abundant, and I really can't bear to let these people fall because of me. I only hope that the adults will treat the people of Hanzhong well, and then give me a lonely mountain and a small island, so that I can preach to the people, and Zhang Lu will be grateful. ”

Liu Zhang listened to Zhang Lu's words, and really understood the reason why Zhang Lu cut off Hanzhong and killed Zhang Xiu, this is a person who wants to realize his ideals and work hard to put them into practice, how can he not be the same as he wants to help the world?

Fa Zheng saw that Zhang Lu had no intention of resisting, walked up to Yan Pu, and said with a smile: "I have heard that there is a famous man named Yan Pu in Hanzhong, who governs Hanzhong in an orderly manner and has unique views in military affairs, but I don't know if Fa Zheng has the honor to work with Mr. ”

Yan Pu looked at Zhang Lu on the side and sighed: "Since Shijun is willing to take refuge in Lord Zhoumu, how can Yan Pu not surrender." ”

"If that'......" Fa Zheng showed a smile on his face and said a few words in Yan Pu's ear, Yan Pu was startled and nodded silently.

Liu Zhang persuaded Zhang Lu, turned around and walked to the high platform, and said loudly to the Hanzhong officials and the onlookers of Nanzheng: "Zhang Lu and all Han Chinese martial arts, the wind and rain in Hanzhong are smooth, the people are moral, the people are simple, and the merits are high, and all the Hanzhong officials remain in their posts and return to their original posts." ”

The Han and Chinese warriors had been kneeling tremblingly, and when they heard Liu Zhang's words, they finally came to ease, their faces showed joy, and they bowed down and thanked them together.

"Zhang Lu Shijun, the merit is immeasurable, but he is tired of the red dust, he preaches Zemin wholeheartedly, and the official intention is to set up Mount Emei in the west of Shu as the place where the master preaches, limited to 1,000 people, all the parishioners voluntarily follow, and those who exceed the limit can settle under the mountain and be exempt from tax for five years."

The people who were watching around cheered, Zhang Lu was very popular in Hanzhong, and the Wudou Rice Sect of the poor people in Zepi was even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, at this time, they were very happy to listen to Liu Zhang's words, and some had already made up their minds to follow Zhang Lu to Mount Emei.

"As for Shijun's killing of Zhang Xiu...... Liu Zhang paused, this time the Sichuan army attacked Nanzheng under the banner of avenging Zhang Xiu, and it was precisely because of this that the people hesitated and did not help Zhang Lu, and it was impossible not to mention it.

The Sichuan army avenged Zhang Xiu, and it was really difficult not to degrade Zhang Xiu, and not to let Zhang Lu bear the crime of killing the former Heavenly Master.
