Chapter 557: Zhang Lu descends to Chu

Zhang Lu was escorted all the way to Hanchang by the Chu army, but the heaviness in his heart did not disappear - sure enough, at this time, the city of Hanchang was already occupied by the Chu army!

Although the Chu army still came as an ally nominally, there was no fierce conflict, but when he wanted to enter the city at the beginning, there was a little accident, but now the guard has been persuaded by Zhao Yun (physics), and then the Chu army is indeed in the name of helping away from the allies, but ...... In practical affairs, the Chu army had almost completely taken over Hanchang.

After all, in the entire Hanchang, there are only a few thousand defenders, and they are also second-line troops.

Zhao Yun raised more than 10,000 troops, and he didn't control Hanchang with a handle?

And...... Nominally, Zhao Yun bit to death, this is "support", but it is difficult to say whether Hanchang's guards believe it or not.

After all, they had only heard that the Xiliang army was attacking Hanzhong, and they didn't even know about Yangping Pass.

But now if you don't believe it, you can believe it, seeing that this "Heavenly Master" himself has been withdrawn to Hanchang under the protection of the Chu army, what else can they say?

After Zhang Lu came to Hanchang, he felt more and more that he was detained here by the Chu army, and in order to better reflect his role, Zhang Lu repeatedly "begged" Zhao Yun to urge him to attack Hanzhong.

When facing Chen Dao, Zhang Lu was still a little arrogant, after all, he was the nominal ally of the King of Chu and the Marquis of Hanning, who received the Jiuxi......

Although Chen Zhi is also a general, he is not famous in the Chu State.

However, when facing Zhao Yun, it was difficult for Zhang Lu to be so tough - the commander of the Wangjing Theater and one of the top bigwigs in the Chu military!

However, Zhao Yun has always been very polite to Zhang Lu, although he was "pressed" in Hanchang, and he did not mean to release the power of Hanchang at all, but he has always treated each other with the courtesy of princes.

It's just that for Zhang Lu's request, Zhao Yun just shirked and was investigating the situation in Hanzhong, and he still needs to think about Yunyun in the long run......

During this period, Yan Pu also secretly persuaded Zhang Lu many times not to hesitate, let alone take care of his body - Yan Pu actually wanted to directly suggest Zhang Lu, and directly hugged Zhao Yun's thigh and shouted: General, I don't want to work hard!

It's a pity that after all, I have to take care of Zhang Lu's face, and I can't say it so bluntly.

Under the persuasion for several days, Zhang Lu's attitude did soften more and more, and after Zhang Lu stayed in Hanchang for half a month, Zhao Yun took the initiative to send someone to find him......

"General Zhao, are you here to find me, is it preparing to recover Hanzhong?" Zhang Lu asked as soon as they met.

"Hahaha, rest assured, the people of Hanzhong have been saved!" Zhao Yun laughed when he heard this.

Zhang Lu was stunned when he heard this, originally he just instinctively mentioned it, but now he is convinced that Zhao Yun really has news from Hanzhong, and at the same time he is relieved - sure enough, the Chu people still care about Hanzhong, not perfunctory before, but really inquiring about the news.

"Yes, as long as this Heavenly Master personally goes out and the Chu army is strong, the Xiliang army will not be able to hold Han......zhong for a long time."

However, before Zhang Lu finished speaking, Zhao Yun said solemnly: "Han Ninghou is so anxious about the people, and his heart is really moving, but ...... The Marquis of Hanning can rest assured that on the day the letter was sent, Nanzheng, Baozhong, Chenggu and other counties had been recaptured by his colleagues in the Jinghu North Provincial Theater, and the danger of Xicheng should have been lifted by now, just waiting to completely break through Yangping Pass and force the Xiliang army to retreat to Longyou!

Zhao was a native of Hanzhong, and thanked the Marquis of Hanning for his care......"

Zhao Yun said, and got up and saluted Zhang Lu.

And Zhang Lu was already stunned at this time, and he couldn't care about Zhao Yun's "gift" - Nan Zheng had actually taken "back"?

It didn't matter what he Zhang Lu did, and he was directly taken back by the Chu army?

How long has it been?

And......

The Chu army in Jinghu North Road? Could it be along the Han River......

He had been urging the Chu army before, taking advantage of the undecided Hanzhong to recover it as soon as possible, so as not to stabilize the Xiliang army, Zhang Lu naturally had selfish intentions.

If he uses his prestige to recover Hanzhong, then even if he can't be a soil emperor like before in the future, he must at least have more respect for him, and he can have a lot of bargaining chips.

After all, Zhang Lu is not a prince who is bent on pursuing power, if he really wants to surrender, no one can really open up the hearts of the people in Hanzhong, and he will cross the river and tear down the bridge...... Especially the King of Chu, who has a more reliable reputation in this regard!

However, the current situation is a little different from his imagination.

The Chu army did take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Western Liang army to pacify Hanzhong, but it was just ...... It has nothing to do with him, the Heavenly Master?

And after thinking about it a little deeper, I knew that since Chu Jun didn't use the prestige of the Heavenly Master at all, it was impossible to open his eyes for him afterwards, or even ...... Nine times out of ten, there will be a lot of hype in Hanzhong about his move to flee without a fight!

In addition, he himself was detained in Bazhong by the Chu people, which means that whether it is a die-hard loyalty to the Heavenly Master Dao, or a disappointed general official after learning that he abandoned the people and fled, the Chu State can deal with it calmly.

After all, even if he is a diehard loyalist of the Heavenly Master, now that Zhang Lu is under the control of the Chu army, what else can he do?

Otherwise, in a month or two, I am afraid that the entire Hanzhong will be eaten and wiped clean by the Chu army.

Now Zhao Yunli's thoughtful appearance has confirmed Zhang Lu's idea - everyone thanks themselves on behalf of the people of Hanzhong, that is obviously treating the people of Hanzhong as their own and treating him Zhang Lu as an outsider!

After Zhao Yun saluted, Zhang Lu was still stunned and ignored himself, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and talked to Zhang Lu about the customs and customs of Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu reacted and gritted his teeth...... returned the salute and said: "Don't dare to be a general's gift, Lu ...... There is neither the wisdom of benefiting the people, nor the courage to protect the people, and the inability to assume the position of the Marquis of Hanning...... Fortunately, the king of Chu did not give up and rushed to the aid of Hanzhong, so he did not cause a catastrophe, and he was willing to obey the king of Chu......"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth again, and then continued: "Regain Hanzhong for the King of Chu!" ”

Zhao Yun smiled at this time: "Hahaha, Mr. Zhang is polite!" The king knew that Mr. Zhang had this heart, and he would be very happy! ”

Zhang Lu grinned when he heard this.

Zhao Yun is really not polite at all, and now he has become "Mr. Zhang".

But it's right to think about it...... The Marquis of Hanning was awarded the title of the Han court, Zhang Lu descended to Chu, and he could be crowned a marquis nine times out of ten, and even as a commendation, it is likely that there will be "hereditary replacement", but it will never be the "Marquis of Hanning" again!

After Zhang Lu finally made this decision, he also looked a little bad, and simply said: "General Zhao can send my family to a safe place first, and I can cooperate with the general to calm the hearts of the people in Hanzhong." ”

Zhang Lu's meaning was already to indicate that he would completely surrender to the Chu State, and he could use his status as a Heavenly Master to do something for the Chu State......

However, Zhao Yun still politely refused this, and said that he would send Zhang Lu to a "safe place" together.

Where is it safe?

Naturally, it is the safest ...... in Jinling
