Chapter 19: Let Hanzhong (Free of charge)

Before I got up this morning, someone came to report to the department teacher. I hurriedly got up and washed up.

Zhang Luzheng was in a daze on the chessboard by himself, and when he saw me coming, he didn't raise his head and said, "Sit." ”

These days, Zhang Lu is often in a daze like this, but he never says why.

I sat down in front of him as I was told. He didn't speak, and I naturally didn't have anything to say, just turned the black and white chess pieces back and forth in the palm of his hand, and said in his heart, the crisis in Hanzhong has been solved, why is he unhappy? Is it because we are worried about how to clean us up?

After a long time, Zhang Lu sighed: "I really envy your father!" ”

I was stunned by these thoughtless words, and I didn't know how to answer. But Zhang Lu didn't wait for me to answer, and continued to talk to himself: "He is a member of the Han clan, he is very smart, and his subordinates are loyal and martial, and he is able to double the number of people." Zhuge Kongming doesn't talk about him, Guan Zhang Naishi's famous generals don't care about it, a Zhao Zilong who has no reputation can actually restrain people and horses in the enemy army, and resist Cao Cao's 100,000 male soldiers, and a little doll Jiang Wei actually dares to snatch the grain and grass of Cao Gong, who has lived by robbing grain all his life, in the army of ten thousand horses. Why don't I have such subordinates? ”

I think, Zhang Lu is used to being a well frog, and he actually thinks that Zhao Yun has no reputation, but Jiang Wei's ability to successfully rob Cao Cao's grain and grass is really beyond my expectations, you must know that Cao Cao started by robbing grain, in Chibi, even Mr. Kong Ming, who is extremely wise in the world, and Zhou Gongjin, who is a talented man in Tianzhong, think that Cao Ying's grain and grass are not good to rob, and the only time I know that Cao Cao was robbed of grain was because Xu Chu drank too much wine and was killed by the third uncle. And the little Jiang Wei can succeed, I really don't know whether to say whether he is a genius or a fluke.

To Zhang Lu's words, I replied: "Why is the general inferior, you sit on the Hanchuan River, more than 100,000 households, wealth and food, danger on all sides, the people return to their hearts, why envy people?" ”

Zhang Lu raised his head, looked at me, and then smiled: "You kid, don't use good things to coax me." Back then, I followed the way of the Heavenly Master, no soldiers and no power, in Shu, the people and the wild wind were strong, there were strong enemies outside, there were brothers inside, every step of the crisis, the situation was difficult, but I finally had today's business, which was something I never thought of in my life. I'm not an ordinary person, and I'm not presumptuous. However, I am not a peerless lord like Cao Liu, don't be surprised by you, I know myself. I know that Yang Song is greedy for money and power, but I can't get rid of him, because his family is extremely powerful, and because he can't bear it with me for many years. It turned out that it was enough to be a frog at the bottom of the well, but as soon as Cao Gong arrived, I knew that I couldn't do this bit of family business at all. I am like a sheep, between two tigers, and it is difficult to be small between the two! I only wish to return to the country all my life, and the intention has not been reached, I have thought, if Cao Gong comes, I will close the treasury, flee into the mountains, this remnant of life, as long as Cao Gong treats the people under my rule, my heart is enough. Unexpectedly, when you came, child, you only recruited a partial teacher, and you turned the tide and saved the people of Hanzhong. When I saw you, I saw your father, and I thought that maybe this was the Heavenly Master who handed Hanzhong into your hands. These days, I keep you by your side, you yourself are in danger, but you always care about the things of the former enemy, which shows the open-mindedness of the heart, I heard that you are in Jingzhou, accompanied by Zhang Ji into the poor people's room, treating the sick and saving people to help the needy, and the heart of benevolence is not found in today's scholars. Therefore, I am willing to trust Hanchuan, I don't know what the little general wants? ”

I was startled, good guy, this is simply a copy of Tao Qian's Xuzhou, if I respond, it will be a fish jumping into the oil pot. Hurriedly shook his head and said: "This matter must not be done, the kid is young, and he doesn't know it, but he still knows how many bowls of rice he eats!" ”

Zhang Lu smiled and said no more.

After a few days, Zhao Zilong's soldiers returned, and Hanzhong City was very lively and celebrated. Zhang Lu personally put the lamp for Zhao Yun and called him "General Tian". Zhao Yunjian couldn't accept it, and Zhang Lu couldn't help but be gloomy.

But it was only for a moment, and he laughed. He waved his hand, and the whole hall fell silent, and said: "Since the ancestor Zhang Tianshi and the ancestor Zhang Sishi, they have taken heaven and earth as their hearts and living beings as their thoughts, traveled around the world, eliminated harm for the people, and established a great religion. Those who teach me are not sincere, there is no way to be virtuous, there is no way to be loyal, there is no way to be a king, and there is no filial piety. I teach the people, help the people to save the world, apply medicine to the living, all the people are happy, happy to settle down, Yu Ji Hanzhong Taishou, the people are rich, and it depends on the power of the public. Fang today, the heroes are doubled, Cao Mengde looks at the Central Plains, Sun Zhongmou is in Jiangdong, the emperor's uncle General Liu Zuo, the two states of Jingyi, following the Han Dynasty, the people's aspirations, and the heroes return to their hearts. At this age, Cao Mengde is a soldier without a way, cutting down a virtuous land, wanting to raise Jin Ge in Nanzheng and burn the flames of war in Hanzhong. General Liu Xiao, the son of the emperor's uncle, has been close to the Han River, resisted strong enemies, and protected thousands of people in Hanzhong. Lu Nian's teeth are high, his energy is declining, and he gradually feels the world's honor and disgrace, but he wants to put aside his vulgar thoughts, calm his heart, preside over the teaching affairs, and is willing to entrust the land of Hanzhong to the imperial uncle, I don't know what happens under the public will? ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall exploded, and everyone was confused and scrambled to stop it. But Zhang Lu didn't say anything more, he waved his hand, ordered everyone to withdraw, and his own clothes were neatly on, with a long howl, and turned to leave.

Is he really willing to give up the power in his hands and hand Hanzhong into the hands of his father?

Looking at his back, I was uneasy, Zhang Lu, this Zhang Lu, who has never been very good in my impression, how can he treat wealth and nobility as dust? In this Three Kingdoms world where heroes are judged by success or failure, how can he be so different? I always thought he was scheming on me, but could this be the end of the day?

I doubted, I was nervous, I didn't believe that there was such a person in the world, I believed that this was a ploy, did he retreat as an advance, and use the strength of his subordinate officials to expel us?

That's what we're all thinking. Zhao Yun took me back to the camp and took strict precautions, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

But everything is moving along the most incredible path.

His father's envoy, Huang Quan, appeared in Hanzhong. Huang Quan was originally a general under Liu Zhang, and this person had an absolutely first-class political level and strategic vision. In history, when his father entered Shu, he could see his father's intentions at a glance and disagreed with Liu Zhang's approach. Cao Cao's attack on Zhang Lu was also the first to propose: "If Hanzhong is lost, then the three bars are not vibrant, and this cut Shu is also the arm of the arm", a needle of blood out of the Hanzhong is not Yizhou, and personally greeted Zhang Lu, but Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao first, Huang Quan still led the army to break the pro-Cao minority leader Pu Hu and other departments along the way, and achieved victory. He has a good personal relationship with Zhang Lu, but he has never abandoned official duties because of personal friendship, which is deeply valued by Zhang Lu. This time, he came to Hanzhong to discuss the delivery with Zhang Lu.

Immediately afterwards, my father came to Hanzhong in person with a large team of people, accompanied by Ma Chao, Fa Zheng, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan. Kong Ming stayed in Xichuan and presided over government affairs.

With the arrival of my father's army, all speculation vanished.

Handing over the seal and cleaning up the accounts is like a dream.

Hanzhong actually fell into the hands of his father like this!

Zhang Lu, what kind of person is he? This incompetent Taishou, this promising teacher, this Taoist priest who bewitches people with witchcraft, and this department teacher who is deeply admired by the people, which one is really him?

I don't understand.

I remembered Mr. Shuijing's words: "Zhang Lu is a very interesting person. "Could it be that long before I came here, Mr. had a tacit understanding with Zhang Lu?

In the barracks, everyone was talking about Zhao Zilong's heroic refusal of Cao Cao, and about his father's Weide who surrendered to Zhang Lu without a fight, but I didn't know what to say.

Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu.

My fate was also decided. In the midst of the bustle and bustle, I was quietly sent back to Chengdu as a chrysalis. Father, he didn't even want to see me.

Before leaving, I went to see Zhang Lu. The majesty on his face at this moment has decreased a lot, and he seems to have put down the burden of a thousand catties, and the whole person looks light, and he actually has the appearance of a fairy wind and bones.

When he heard that I was leaving, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said to send me something. After entering the inner room, after a short time, he took out an ink-drenched handwriting, on which was written in gentle strokes: "Be kind to the people." ”

I suddenly remembered that in history, after the person in front of me descended to Cao, tens of thousands of people moved with him to Luoyang, Chang'an and other places, and as a result, after my father occupied Hanzhong, there was no land and no people, which directly caused Kong Mingshu to attack the Central Plains without food and no one in the dilemma. Can a person's power be so great?

Or, judging the hero's approach by success or failure is a complete failure, and he is my role model?

I shook my head, trying to get rid of the thought.

I looked at him and said softly, "Take care!" ”
