"Lord, who do you think is more powerful than the real strength of our Shuzhong army and the Hanzhong army?" , Zhao Wei sold a pass first and asked Liu Zhang.

"In the past, it may have been half a catty or eight taels, but now it should be our strength, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong came to ask for peace is the proof", Liu Zhang thought for a while.

"The temporary victory and defeat can't say anything, what is the main reason why the lord knows our army's victory this time?" Zhao Wei asked rhetorically.

"Didn't this war report say it? The whole battle is in a hurry, pretending to be Zhang Tianshi, and the believers of Wudou Midao believe that they have no combat power, and they will be defeated without a fight", Liu Zhang said.

That's right, in the final analysis, there was a big chance factor in Zhang Lu's defeat this time. The lord thinks that if the eldest prince repeats his old trick next time, will he be able to scare off the enemy army? Zhao Wei asked rhetorically.

"I'm afraid I can't do this ......", Liu Zhang was a little frustrated.

"That's right, if you continue to march, can you win or not? If the other candidates take advantage of the situation to attack Yizhou, the war will be together, and it will be difficult to stop it. It is better to agree to Zhang Lu's request for peace, recuperate, observe the situation, and stand by for the best policy", Zhao Wei analyzed, it sounded reasonable, Liu Zhang was a person who had no idea, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Lord, Lord Zhao's analysis is very reasonable, the situation in Yizhou over the years shows that it is really better to defend than to attack, it is better to agree to negotiate peace, it is the best policy." Wu Lan added a fire.

"Father, the war is together, the lives are devastated, don't hesitate, order peace", Liu Xian didn't want Liu Xun to make contributions, his injuries had just stabilized, and he had not fully recovered, so he also came to participate in the discussion.

For a while, most of them were in favor of making peace with Zhang Lu, and Huang Quan felt that it was wrong, but he was a civil official, and he couldn't say enough reasons to oppose it, so he had to give up.

"Then let's negotiate peace and recruit Zhang as the class teacher", Liu Zhang finally made up his mind.

Liu Zhang's messenger rushed from Chengdu to Jiamengguan and conveyed his orders. Zhang Ren left Yang Huai and Gao Pei to defend the city, and he and Liu Xun led an army of 50,000 to escort Zhang Lu's envoy Yang Song, and went straight to Chengdu.

The army just left Jiameng Pass, and the former army came to report: "An old man called Huaheng is in the middle of the avenue, and he doesn't want others to give money, as long as the eldest son gives money." Li Guohua, the pioneer officer, felt that something was wrong and ordered me to report it."

"Forget it, where did the stinky smell come from", Zhang Ren said impatiently, he didn't have much affection for this kind of person.

"Slow down, second brother, let's see what's wrong, this person dares to block the way of my army, it must be unusual", Liu Xundao.

"Since the eldest brother said so, let's go and see what the hell he does", Zhang Rendao, although he is the main general, he recognized Liu Xun as the master, so he naturally listened to his arrangement.

From a distance, I saw a sloppy old man, unkempt, with tattered clothes, a green bamboo cane, lying on his back in the middle of the avenue, blocking the way of the army.

"Look up at the general trend of the world and smile at the world. Ask who is the hero in the world, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, Liu Xuande, all of them are local chickens and dogs", the old man called Hua as if there was no one around, and looked at the 50,000 army in front of him as if there was nothing.

"Old fellow, what are you doing with gibberish? Do you dare to insult my father-in-law and live impatiently? Zhang Ren shouted, although Liu Zhang is weak, after all, he is still the lord of Yizhou, and when this word reached Liu Zhang's ears, it was okay.

"It doesn't matter, listen to him", Liu Xun waved his hand, while secretly recalling the characters of the Three Kingdoms he knew in his previous life, "It seems that there is no such person, not like a master, and listen to what he says, and then make calculations." ”

"It is worthy of Liu Zhang's eldest son, and he has some bearing. Why, eldest son, don't take advantage of the victory to pursue Zhang Lu, and want to return to Chengdu? Lao Yuhua grinned widely, revealing a mouthful of scattered teeth, "Losing this fighter plane, it will be difficult for Zhang Lu to relieve his breath, and it will be difficult to find an opportunity again." ”

"Who are you who stand in my way, just to say this? If there is nothing else, please go away, dare to stand in the way again, don't blame me for being unkind", Liu Xun was a little suspicious that this person was sent by Zhao Wei, if he disobeyed the order, he would attack Zhang Lu. Zhao Wei will say that he intends to rebel, and then he will be in a dilemma.

"Who am I? The old lady called Zuo Ci, and was loved by the world, and called me Zuo Ci Daxian. Why, eldest prince, aren't you preaching everywhere and claiming to be the disciple of the old man? When I saw the master, why didn't I worship, deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, but I would be thundered by the sky. The old man laughed, with a playful expression.

"This person must not be Zuo Ci, didn't Luo Guanzhong say it in the book, Zuo Ci is a lame Taoist, this person is most likely sent by Zhao Wei and Liu Xun to fool himself, don't be fooled," This world report is really fast, just pretending to be someone else's grandfather. In the blink of an eye, someone also pretended to be his master. ”

"You will be my master Zuo Ci Daxian, no, my master is a lame and insignificant Taoist, how can he look like this? If you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you immediately. Liu Xun said viciously, he had made up his mind to teach this guy who dared to pretend to teach a lesson.

"Who arranged my old man like this, saying that I am blind and lame, it is too unusual. Forget it if others say this, you are my old man's apprentice, and you dare to arrange the master like this, you are simply deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors, and it is a big rebellion, you should be beaten", Lao Zhaohua really stretched out a green bamboo cane and wanted to knock it on Liu Xun's head.

Where can Liu Xun let him hit, stretch out his hand, and the old man immediately fell to the ground, making a gray face and embarrassed.

"It's just the opposite, the apprentice beats the master, it's really the world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient", Lao Zhaohua got up from the ground with difficulty, panting in his mouth, and hummed.

Now Liu Xun has no doubts, this must be an old liar, most likely sent by Zhao Wei.

"Yes, I'm always called Hua, and I want to pretend to be my master. My master Zuo Ci Immortal Master is a martial artist, just like you, let's hurry up", Liu Xundao, according to his usual temper, he had already kicked Lao Zhaohua to the side of the road. But today I talked to him for a long time.

"The old man called Huazi, get out of here, I annoyed my son, and I am worried that your life will not be guaranteed", a group of sergeants began to coax.

"The old man is old, his bones are loose, and it is normal for his martial arts to regress a little. It's okay to ask the old man to go away, boy, as long as you give me three thousand taels of silver, the old man will leave immediately, and he will never look back".

"Three thousand taels of silver, tell you to rob the treasury," some sergeants shouted.

Liu Xun's brows furrowed a little, today's events were too unusual. If something is abnormal, he is a demon, maybe this old man is really a master, and he decided to test him.

"Since the old man insisted that it was my master Zuo Ci Daxian, my master is astronomical and geographical, the five elements of yin and yang, and knows everything. Dao magic powers, omnipotent", Liu Xun began to speak politely, "As long as you can answer my question, I will recognize you as a master and give you three thousand taels of silver tickets, how about it?" ”

"Confucianism can be taught, and the old man is starting to like you as an apprentice. You have come up with the question, the old man knows three hundred years ago, and five hundred years later, will he be stumped by you? The old man didn't care about Zaidao, "You just have a silver ticket ready, right?" ”

"Then the juniors are welcome, seniors, please listen to the question", Liu Xun smiled, "Even if you know 800 years before and 800 years later, you can't answer this question." This question is more than 1,000 years later. ”

"May I ask my seniors, did they have chickens first? Or did it come first? ”

"The chicken came first".

"Where did the chickens come from?"

"First the egg".

"Where did the egg come from?"

"Is the sun near at the beginning of the day, or at noon?"

"When you first come up, you are close to people."

"Then why is it that the sun is cool when it first comes out, and at noon it is so hot that you put your hand close to hot water? Doesn't it feel hot when you're close and cold when you're far away? ”

"Oh, the old man remembers wrong, it's close to people at noon, this time it's not wrong."

"Really?"

"Then why is it that when the sun first rises it is as big as the canopy of a car, at noon it is as small as a plate, isn't it small in the distance and big in the near distance?"

"That day in Mingsha Mountain, I saw this kid surrounded by thunder, and I thought he was upright. How do you know that it is so tricky, and the old man has been defeated", the old man secretly thought, seeing that the other party asked questions like a cannonball, without the slightest intention of stopping, and if he continued to ask, his ugliness would be even greater.

At the moment, he waved his hands and shouted urgently: "Stop, you have tested the old man with so many questions, this time it is my turn to solve the questions." ”

Regardless of whether Liu Xun agreed or not, he took out a handful of paper figures from his arms with trembling hands, and threw them into the wind, and suddenly the wind gusted, and the black air was swirling, and a team of cavalry appeared out of thin air, all of them with clear swords and guns, and the real cavalry looked very different.

"Now I believe that the old man is Zuo Ci Daxian, as long as you break my talisman array, the old man will accept you as an apprentice, otherwise he will obediently offer three thousand taels of silver, how about it?" The old man said proudly, while observing Liu Xun's reaction.

There was a slight commotion in the front army immediately, and some war horses began to neigh, not listening to the command, Zhang Ren immediately ordered the three armies to be on guard and stand by in battle.

"Don't be fooled, that old man is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, that is the usual trick of the Yellow Turban Army", some veterans participated in the battle to exterminate the Yellow Turban, and immediately shouted.

Things are getting weirder and weirder, Liu Xun already knows that this old man is not sent by Zhao Wei, most of them are a strange person, but with these few tricks, Liu Xun obediently admits defeat, but he can't do it anyway.

"Even if you are really Zuo Ci, you are just a genius. Although Zuo Ci in history retreated from Cao Cao's hands, he didn't see what he did to Cao Cao", Liu Xun remembered the words of the strange man of the plains who commented on Zuo Ci's spells, "It's just illusion." There is, my thunder light true qi has the qi of heavenly thunder, this rune array seems to be just an evil spell, just try it to see if you can break it. ”

"It's just an illusion, what's so strange, see me break your spell", Liu Xun shouted, the thunder light true qi was destroyed, and the thunder light around him burst into formation, and a punch slammed into the rune array.

Those armor soldiers who looked like real people suddenly disappeared, and burnt paper men and paper horses flew in the air, and the figure of the old man disappeared, and as far as the eye could see, he only saw a black line in the distance.

With a "snap", Lao Zhaohua threw down two books and landed in front of Liu Xun.

"Look, it's really Zuo Ci Old Immortal", I don't know who shouted, when the army looked up, there was a crane cry in the sky, and a crane flew down, carrying a Taoist, and slowly flew up to the clouds. That Taoist fairy wind bones, Taoist robe and scarf, left foot is a long section shorter, and the right eye is obviously blind, which is the image of Zuo Ci Daxian that has been circulated among the people for a long time.

An ethereal voice came, as if from the distant sky, "Liu Xun, this great immortal officially accepted you as a disciple today, and I hope you will act for the heavens and save the people in the world from now on."

The image of Zuo Ci Daxian is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Shu, and this time, the 50,000 troops are convinced, and most of them are kneeling on the ground and praying sincerely.

Liu Xun's heart was bright, he was sure that Lao Zhaohua's hand was just an illusion like the previous talisman array.

This old man has obviously reached an extremely high level of martial arts, and the previous black line is exactly what he left behind when he retreated quickly. It looks like it has disappeared out of thin air to the naked eye, but in fact, it is retreating with the supreme body method, because the speed is as fast as a galloping horse, ordinary people really can't think of it.

As for the vision in the air, as well as what Lao Zhaohua said, it is to make people believe that Liu Xun is the apprentice of Zuo Ci Lao Xian. From then on, what Liu Xun did was to act on behalf of the mandate of heaven and to act for heaven.

"It doesn't matter if this old man is Zuo Ci or not, he is here to help me, there is no doubt about it. Originally, he was in charge of the army for the first time, and his power in the army was not consolidated. As soon as this play was performed, these troops returned to their hearts, and the original odds of winning this trip to Chengdu were only five or five, but this time it has greatly increased, at least eight or nine have become. The rest of the Yicheng, that is the mandate of heaven, not human power", Liu Xun said secretly, "God really helps me." ”

Leaning down, he picked up the two Taoist books left by the old Taoist priest, and saw a line of words written in cinnabar on the title page of one of the books. The handwriting was sloppy, obviously written in a hurry just now, and Liu Xun read it carefully.
