Liu Qi's plan for Zhang Lu is not just a simple establishment of religion and Taoism, not only to educate people's hearts, persuade people to be good, but also to prepare for the spread of Chinese civilization.

Regardless of whether it is a foreign race or a foreign land, cultural infiltration and civilization inheritance are the foundation of pioneering, otherwise no matter how large the territory is laid, it will only be a plate of scattered sand.

Liu Qi plans to set up a heroic monument to set up a spiritual tablet for all the soldiers who fought for the country, and there are special people to worship and chant scriptures, chant scriptures and pray for blessings, and make permanent sacrifices.

This is undoubtedly a great encouragement and encouragement to the whole army, and it is also a tradition of Taoism to worship the heroes and sages of the past dynasties, and the two complement each other.

Zhang Lu listened to the blood boiling on the spot, although Liu Qi was young, but he had the grace of enlightenment, and worshiped him as a teacher, and he couldn't wait to go to Changsha to prepare on the same day.

Returning to Nanzheng again, Yan Pu and the others found that Zhang Lu seemed to be a different person, not only did he not panic when the soldiers came to the city, nor did he see the depression of imminent destruction, but the whole person was radiant and radiant, which was really incredible.

When Zhang Lu announced that he was ready to surrender, Yang Ren was surprised and said: "Shijun seems to be delirious, so Liu Qi has the ability to confuse people's minds?" ”

Yan Pu also wondered in his heart, although the surrender of Kaesong was a helpless move, he had never seen such a happy surrender, what did the two of them say?

In the evening, Zhang Lu led the officials to open the city to welcome Liu Qi, issued the edict to various places, and sent people to send a message to Zhang Wei, asking them to dedicate Yangping Pass, and Liu Qi would be rewarded with official rewards

The surrender of the whole territory of Hanzhong also avoided a disaster of swords, and Liu Qi was also relieved.

More than ten years of recuperation, more than 100,000 people, sufficient money and food, more than the entire Guanzhong.

In the evening of the same day, a banquet was set up to celebrate the achievement, the army and the people celebrated together, and all the sacrificial wines were also gathered, and Zhang Lu discussed the matter of promoting the Tao, and wished the followers to go to Changsha, and those who wished to stay in Hanzhong were also rewarded.

Once established in Hengshan, Zhang Lu is the originator of the mountain, and the sacrificial wine will also become the sages of the Tao, the establishment of the sect, the fame of future generations, thousands of years later, also like the three emperors and five emperors, enjoy the fireworks in the world.

Everyone was talking about the great cause of Hongdao, and suddenly Kou Feng hurriedly came to report, and the guard general Yang Ren fled from the south gate with hundreds of followers, and asked for orders to chase the enemy.

"Don't worry about the young people!" Liu Qi didn't care, and ordered him to patrol the city carefully, strengthen public security, and not have to chase him.

The banquet was dispersed, and the next day Liu Qi sent an order to all parts of the country to restore the name of Hanzhong County, and the county officials were still in the system, and the righteous houses everywhere were changed to post stations, leaving only part of the temple to transition.

Although the establishment of religion and the promotion of Taoism is to prepare for the future, it is also necessary to have a degree, and it is certainly not possible to have a higher degree of teaching law than the national law like Hanzhong, and it is necessary to govern the people from outside Confucianism and internal law, and religion must not interfere with the political power.

was discussing the arrangement of officials from various places, Zhang Lu hurriedly came to see him, but his brother Zhang Wei refused to submit, and fled into Bazhong with more than 10,000 defenders of Yangping Pass.

Liu Qi comforted Zhang Lu and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, so you don't have to force them." However, since Brother Ling is bent on chaos, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless in the future. ”

Zhang Lu sighed: "Everyone has a fate, and there is a certain number in the dark, and since I am determined to promote the Tao, it is time to let go of all this." ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Ming Gong is going to the south, if he can preach to South Vietnam, it can be compared to Lao Tzu's move of sending a letter to Guguan to turn Hu." ”

"How dare you compare with Dao Ancestor?" Zhang Lu looked excited, but he still remained humble, and said with a dry smile: "In the next place, there is still something to ask the general, but it is a little presumptuous and difficult to say." ”

Liu Qi said: "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

Zhang Lu sighed: "Although Hengyang is a blessed land, it is located in a remote area, and I am afraid that my family will not adapt to the water and soil, so I am ready to take only my two sons there." There is still a young daughter in the family, who is waiting for the word boudoir, and wants to entrust the general, and takes the liberty of climbing, I don't know what the general wants? ”

Liu Qi thought for a moment and said: "It's not that I don't want to marry, but there are already two wives in the family, two side rooms, both of whom have not been married for a long time. If Ming Gong doesn't mind, I can be a big matchmaker for Ling Ai to ensure that she will be prosperous and wealthy in the future, and she will have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Zhang Lu also knew that Liu Qi had married two ladies in a year, and his daughter could only marry a side room, and her identity was not as good as that of Mrs. Sun, so she would inevitably be snubbed if she went, and asked, "I don't know who the man is?" ”

Liu Qi said: "My henchman Wei Yan, who has the courage of ten thousand people, is very good at commanding troops, and will succeed in the future. ”

Zhang Lu nodded and said: "General Wei's bravery, I have also seen one or two in the future, it is indeed brave, and there is a general as a matchmaker, it is really an honor for the little girl, as long as her mother and daughter can be safe and sound, I will be content!" ”

This is really a double win, I wanted to stay in Wei Yan to guard Hanzhong, and let him settle down here, becoming Zhang Lu's son-in-law, whether in terms of military politics or people's hearts, it is more convenient to integrate.

The two discussed, Zhang Lu respected the way of Huang Lao, did not need to use the Confucian set of customs, and was in a hurry to go out, decided to keep everything simple, and got married in three days.

After Zhang Lu left, Liu Qi asked Xu Shu: "Hanzhong has been decided, take advantage of the chaos in Guanzhong, take Yizhou as soon as possible, who can defend Hanzhong?" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "I thought that the general would leave Liu Pan to guard this place, but since he proposed marriage for Wei Yan, he must have stayed for a long time." ”

Liu Qi nodded and said, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

Xu Shu said: "General Wei started between the soldiers, brave and brave, needless to say, I don't know how good his ability to govern the territory is, since the general is appointed, it must be reasonable." ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "I asked Wen Chang to come, and you will know after a try." ”

Xu Shu knew that Liu Qi was the best at using people, and Wei Yan was a military general promoted by Liu Qi, and his loyalty was undoubted.

After a while, Wei Yan came, Liu Qi said: "Now Hanzhong has been decided, this is the throat of Longshu, Gaozu opened the foundation of the Han Dynasty, non-civil and military people can not be guarded, I want to worship the general for Hanzhong Taishou, what do you think?" Can you dare to serve? ”

Wei Yan was shocked: "Hanzhong is so important, how dare the last general take on such a big responsibility?" ”

Liu Qi stared at Wei Yan: "Wen Chang doesn't dare?" ”

"This ......" Wei Yan was surprised and excited, thought seriously for a moment, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "The last general starts between the ranks, fortunately the son trusts and promotes, and he should repay the kindness of the encounter." If the son is entrusted, he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, although he will never give up! ”

Xu Shu said: "The battle in Guanzhong is urgent, although the Xiliang army is strong, but it is easy to break, I expect Ma Chao to be Cao Cao's enemy." In the future, we will take Yizhou, Cao Cao will take advantage of the situation to attack Hanzhong, how should Wen Chang resist the enemy? ”

Wei Yanlang said: "If Cao Cao comes from all over the world, please refuse it for the general; Partial to the general of 100,000 people, please swallow it for the general. ”

"That's a great statement!" Xu Shu laughed when he heard this, and praised: "Wen Chang is heroic, no less than the second general Guan Zhang." ”

What Liu Qi was waiting for was Wei Yan's words, swallowing mountains and rivers with confidence, confident and heroic, but it was a pity that such a general died in infighting.

If Wei Yan had been in Hanzhong, Cao Cao would not have been able to get in, let alone Deng Ai and Zhong Hui, who were juniors?
