The east wind blew, the war drums beat, and then the sword soldiers were moved in Guanzhong, and at the same time that Cao Xiu captured Wuguan, the Xiliang army also stepped on Hanzhong.

When the news reached Hanzhong, Taishou Zhang Lu was shocked and hurriedly gathered the civil and military to discuss countermeasures.

Since Zhang Lu led Hanzhong, he has ruled the people with Taoism, called the "Five Buckets of Rice" religion, focusing on integrity, and the people have no way to go, and they are rich in money and food.

But because of the bad relationship with Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu's mother and brother were killed by him, and the two sides formed a feud, Zhang Lu wanted to take the opportunity to raise troops to take Sichuan, and exchanged troops for many years, at this time the Xiliang army came to attack and fell into a dilemma.

Yang Song was surprised: "Xiliang Ma Teng, there are 100,000 male soldiers, Cao Cao does not dare to offend, and appeases with Huairou policy, now that the army has entered Hanzhong, who can resist?" It is better to send an envoy to Cao Cao to sue for peace and order Ma Teng to retreat. ”

The military advisor Yan Pu sneered: "Cao Cao is afraid of Ma Teng's father and son, so he used this strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and now that the army has been launched, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to ask him to withdraw from the army." ”

Zhang Lu said worriedly: "The Xiliang army is strong and strong, and there is probably no one in Hanzhong who is invincible, how should this be good?" ”

Yan Puyan said: "Hanzhong Mountain is high and dangerous, Yangping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Xiliang army is only a strong cavalry, but it is useless in the mountains, the lord has 100,000 people in Hanzhong, and 20,000 elite soldiers can be levied, which is enough to resist." ”

Yang Song tugged at the beard curled on his lips, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Don't forget that Liu Zhang of Yizhou has sent troops for many years, if we take advantage of this time to attack, we will be attacked on our backs, what should we do?" ”

Yan Pu said with a smile: "Yizhou Liu Zhang is weak, the lord will not attack him if he collects his troops, he must be secretly happy, and he wants to be happy, how can he send troops?" ”

Yang Song sneered: "Yan Senjun is too underestimated by the people in Shu, right?" It's just that Liu Zhang is weak, but there is no shortage of heroes and wise men, if it is said that Liu Zhang will send troops, what should he do? ”

Yan Pu disdained to reason with Yang Song, and said lightly: "Liu Zhang is indecisive, and when he decides to send troops, Ma Teng has already withdrawn!" ”

Yang Song is the representative of the Yang clan in Hanzhong, insatiable, does not understand military intelligence at all, and always likes to point fingers.

Because most of the righteous houses, rice, and meat in various parts of Hanzhong are provided by the Yang family, Yang Song is the great sacrificial wine in the sect, and his status is only under the master Zhang Lu.

Yang Song hugged his fists and said: "Shijun, it is a matter of survival in Hanzhong, the safety of the sect, everything must be prepared for a rainy day!" Since Ma Teng was sent by Cao Cao, he should ask for reinforcements, otherwise he will be attacked by the enemy on his back and Hanzhong will be in danger! ”

Zhang Lu frowned and said, "Where are the reinforcements?" ”

Yang Song said: "The Shangyong Shen family has always had a good relationship with the envoy, so you can ask him to send troops to help in the war. ”

Zhang Lu said: "The big sacrificial wine is reasonable, Hanzhong and Shangyong are like fur dependent on each other, the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached?" They will come to their aid. ”

The Shen Tan brothers took advantage of the power of the Shen family to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to occupy Shangyong and Xicheng, gathering thousands of families.

The two places are very close to each other, they have been closely connected for many years, and they are also the only good allies of Zhang Lu, which is a good choice.

Yang Song smiled proudly and said, "Other...... The subordinates also have a clumsy plan, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Zhang Lu said with a smile: "Lao Tzu said: If you are clumsy, you can argue well, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Yang Song said: "Liu Qi of Jingzhou is famous, and he is also a nobleman of the imperial family, and he defeated Cao Cao in Nanyang. ”

Zhang Lu frowned and said, "Liu Qi and Liu Zhang are of the same clan, how can they help me?" ”

Yang Song sneered: "Between brothers, the enmity is deeper!" When Liu Yan entered Shu, he had bad intentions and made a car uniform, and it was Liu Biao who denounced it, and then Liu Yan died of illness, Liu Biao ordered people to enter Yizhou to incite rebellion, and Liu Zhang also sent Zhao Wei to lead the troops to attack Jingzhou, and the two families had already made enemies. I heard that Liu Qi has long had the intention of entering Shu, if Shijun can unite with him, attack Yizhou in the north and south, divide Xichuan together, and get revenge, wouldn't it be beautiful? ”

Yan Pu glanced at Yang Song in surprise, this guy who only knows how to accumulate wealth and pleasure, he actually opened his mind today, thinking so long-term, it seems that it must be for the protection of the Yang family, and he is in a hurry.

Zhang Lu groaned slightly and looked at Yan Pu: "What do you think of Yan joining the army?" ”

Yan Pu rarely nodded to Yang Song: "It's not a stopgap measure." ”

Zhang Lu asked: "I have no relationship with Liu Biaosu, who can make it?" ”

Yang Song hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates are willing to share the worries of Shijun, first persuade the Shen Tan brothers to help in the war, and then go to Jingzhou to make friends with Liu Qi and test the truth." ”

Zhang Lu was greatly satisfied: "In this way, there will be a big sacrifice wine in person." ”

Yang Song got up and said: "Shijun, rest assured, my subordinates have ordered incense in the morning and evening, pray to the Taoist Ancestor and the Heavenly Master, and ask him to show his mighty spirit, help me and wait to leave Ma Teng early, and protect the sect." ”

Zhang Lu encouraged a few words, and when Yang Song retreated, he sighed: "Lao Tzu said: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs. The way of heaven is unpredictable, and the gods may not be willing to help, and Shen Tan has few soldiers, and Liu Qi is far away from the water and difficult to save the near fire, how to resist the enemy now? ”

Yan Pu said with a smile: "Qinling Mountain is high and dangerous, Yangping Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ma Teng is far away, he will not be able to hold it for a long time, and when his grain and grass are exhausted, he will retreat." ”

Zhang Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lao Tzu said: Water conservancy is indisputable. I have been in Hanzhong for more than ten years, only seeking the peace of the country and the people, not seeking fame and fortune, but surrounded by strong enemies, and I can't help myself. Today, Ma Teng came to attack, I am afraid that Cao Cao also has the intention of invading my Hanzhong, and I should think about a long-term plan: I want to call myself the king of Hanning, supervise the army to resist the enemy, why join the army? ”

Yan Puyan said: "The Xiliang army is coming, the lord can take the opportunity to recruit and train, the people will gladly come to vote, and when Ma Teng retreats, he will lead the army to attack Xichuan in one go, with the land of the two rivers as the foundation, and then call the king, then the big thing can be done!" ”

"Wonderful!" Zhang Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he happily patted the case: "Lao Tzu said: Blessings and misfortunes are lurking!" My right and left arms coincide, it can be seen that the will of heaven is like this, and the list will be recruited immediately. ”

Zhang Lu actually had the intention of being the king, but he was afraid of losing the hearts of the people, and even provoked the princes to attack in groups, and ended up like Yuan Shu.

At this time, when he heard Yan Pu's plan, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he ordered his brothers to guard Zhang Weiyang Pingguan and train soldiers and horses to resist Ma Teng.

Yang Song left the government and did not rush home, but took a group of "ghost pawns" and "sacrificial wine" to the Taoist temple, personally offered incense, and ordered the congregation to chant and pray.

After the ceremony, Yang Song came to the back hall meditation room alone, where it generally received high-ranking celebrities, as well as dignitaries who donated all year round, and some people did not want to reveal their identities, so they were secretly received.

Yang Song knocked on the door and entered, and couldn't wait to clasp his fists and said: "Mr. Gaoji, in the next wonderful discussion, it was so that Yan Pu couldn't refute it, so he could only nod in agreement." ”

The man turned around, and it was Sun Gan, who had left Chen Cang not long ago, and said with a smile: "To protect Hanzhong, this is a foolproof strategy, when will Ming Gong leave for Jingzhou?" ”

"Without further ado, I'll leave tomorrow!" Yang Song showed his face in front of Yan Pu today, he had never been so happy, and asked, "Sir, is it certain that Ma Teng will really retire?" ”

Sun Qian nodded and said: "Ming Gong can rest assured tonight, you must make a big fanfare, the bigger the momentum, the better, this is an opportunity to become famous, don't miss it." ”

Yang Song nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I will immediately send all the sacrificial wines from all over the world to gather, burn incense and chant sutras inside and outside the four cities, and ensure that even the gods of the past can know." ”
