Hanzhong County, Nanzheng County.

Under the rule of the Great Han Dynasty, Hanzhong was called Hanzhong County, but after Zhang Lu's separate rule, Hanzhong was called Hanning county.

In the city, the government office.

In the hall, Zhang Luzhao gathered his generals.

Under Zhang Lu's command, there were the meritorious Cao Yanpu, the counselor Yang Song, and the generals Yang Bai, Yang ang, Yang Ren, etc.

Zhang Lu Su came to be kind and kind, and his royal subordinates were relatively relaxed. He looked at the civil and military officials under his command and said, "my teacher has just got the news. Liu Xiu sent someone to send a message. He wants to make an alliance with my teacher and attack Liu Zhang in Yizhou."

Shijun is Zhang Lu's name.

Zhang Lu is not only the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang in the Western Han Dynasty, but also the grandson of Zhang Ling.

After Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong, he spread wudoumi Taoism and called himself "Shijun". Compared with the strictness of other sects, Zhang Lu's wudoumi road is relatively loose, and he only needs to pay wudoumi to enter the road.

Zhang Lu governed Hanzhong by religion, the criminal law was not strict, and taxes were not heavy, so Hanzhong was relatively peaceful, and countless people supported Zhang Lu.

After listening to Zhang Lu's words, Yang Bai immediately said, "Lord, I think alliance is a good thing."

After the alliance, we will attack Liu Zhang. Only when there is war can we get credit.

Therefore, Yang Botou agreed.

Yang ang, Yang Ren and other generals also joined in one after another.

All the generals agreed to form an alliance and planned to fight Liu Zhang.

Zhang Lu looked at Yan Pu and asked, "what do you think of Yan Gongcao?"

Yan Pu said, "you can make an alliance. On the one hand, the Lord only controls Hanzhong, which is really not strong enough. If we can take another part of the territory, the foundation of the Lord will be more stable. On the other hand, when the Lord and Liu Xiu make an alliance, Liu Xiu can also send troops to help resist Cao Cao, because Cao Cao is also Liu Xiu's enemy. "

Zhang Lu nodded slightly.

Yang Song said: "Lord, at the beginning, Liu Zhang broke his heart and killed the old lady and others. Such a vengeance is inevitable. Today, Liu Xiu took the initiative to form an alliance, a good opportunity to avenge himself. "

Zhang Lu suddenly clenched his fist.

When Liu Zhang was in Hanzhong at the beginning, he got Liu Zhang's order. However, Zhang Lu thought that Liu Zhang's order was totally a blind command, and it was a layman commanding an expert. Therefore, Zhang Lu did not carry out Liu Zhang's order.

Who knows, Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother, brother and family.

All the family members died in the hands of Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang has not forgotten this hatred.

Zhang Lu's eyes were full of blood. He said in a deep voice, "well, I'll make an alliance with Liu Xiu."

"Somebody

Zhang Lu called out and saw a soldier come in. He said, "please ask Liu Xiu's envoy to come in."

The soldiers went down, and soon a young man came in. The young man was a captain in the royal guards. He bowed his hand to Zhang Lu and said, "I've met the prefect Zhang!"

Zhang Lu said: "I agree to form an alliance with Liu Jingzhou. As for the alliance that Liu Jingzhou said, I don't think it's necessary."

All of a sudden, Yang Song stood up and said, "my Lord, we should unite."

"Well!"

Zhang Lu frowned slightly, with a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

When he was talking, Yang Song stepped out to interrupt. He was really bold.

Yang Song looked calm and said slowly: "since my Lord wants to make a alliance with Liu Xiu, it's better to see him. After all, the two sides should also discuss how to dispatch troops and divide the territory of Yizhou. Otherwise, we can't occupy the place where we fight. This is really inappropriate. "

Zhang Lu thought about it and agreed with Yang Song's proposal.

After a little thought, Zhang Lu said, "go back and tell Liu Xiu that our official and he will form an alliance in the area at the junction of Fangling county and Zhonglu county."

"No!"

The captain of the Royal Guards was ordered to turn around and leave.

Zhang Lu looked at the people under his command and said, "where is Zhang Wei?"

"The end will be here!"

Zhang Wei stepped forward and saluted. Zhang Wei is a little younger than Zhang Lu. He is Zhang Lu's brother. At the beginning, Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei survived in Hanzhong, and the rest of their families were killed by Liu Zhang's knife.

Zhang Lu said, "you stay in Nanzheng County. I'll take Yan Pu, Yang Song and Yang Bai to the alliance."

"No!"

Zhang Wei is the younger brother of Zhang Lu. Only when he is in Nanzheng can Zhang Lu rest assured. The next morning, Zhang Lu left Nanzheng County with a battalion of 500 soldiers and went to Fangling county.

……

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

After the news came back, Liu Xiu took Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Huang Hu and Deng Zhan to Zhonglu county.

Zhonglu county is not far from Xiangyang.

In less than a day, Liu Xiu and his party have arrived in Zhonglu county.

After a night's rest in the county, Liu Xiu and his party headed for the border between Zhonglu county and Fangling county.Liu Xiu arrived earlier. On the third day of Liu Xiu's arrival, Zhang Lu arrived with his team.

At the junction, the two sides meet.

When Liu Xiu met Zhang Lu, he said with a smile, "it's better to meet than to hear. Today, when I see Shijun, I'm really a generous and kind man. When I was in Jingzhou, I heard that Shijun was in charge of Hanzhong, and he was in charge of wudoumi road. It can be said that the government was in harmony with the people, and the people were in peace. When I meet Shijun today, Shijun must teach me some experience. "

After Zhang Lu listened, his face immediately emerged with glory.

A touch of joy breeds in the heart.

It is a great innovation of Zhang Lu to govern Hanzhong in the way of five Dou Mi Dao. At the same time, Zhang Lu was even more honored to know Liu Xiu.

Zhang Lu said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou's young talents are admired by our teacher. It is admirable that Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Jingzhou. If Liu Jingzhou wants to understand wudoumi Dao, he should give it all to himself. "

Liu Xiu said, "it's a great honor for me to do so."

After that, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Shijun, please sit down!"

At the junction, carpets and tables have already been laid.

When the two sides sat down, Liu Xiu said straight to the point: "the first reason for this alliance with Shijun is that since Shijun was in charge of Hanzhong, he had a good command of politics and a harmonious relationship with people. He would not be stabbed in the back if he made an alliance with such a benevolent gentleman as Shijun."

"At the beginning, Liu Zhang was eager to make an alliance with me, but in the end, he turned his face and didn't recognize people. He directly attacked Jingzhou."

"Think about it, it's all cold."

Liu Xiu said, "but I'm relieved to make a alliance with Shijun."

"Second, both my official and Shijun hated Liu Zhang. I hated Liu Zhang's caprice and disobedience. The same is true of Shijun. He and Liu Zhang are enemies of the country and the family. You and I are the most suitable allies. "

"Third, Liu Zhang had no virtue and stole Yizhou, which made people angry. Such people do not deserve to stay in Yizhou. "

Liu Xiu's eyes twinkled with light, and said: "the alliance between my official and Shijun is to win Yizhou at one stroke, save the people in Yizhou, so that the people can live a peaceful life."

After Zhang Lu heard this, Liu xiuhao, the secret way, said.

It is clear that Yizhou is to be captured, but it is a lot of truth.

He is worthy of being able to resist Cao Cao.

Zhang Lu did not beat around the Bush, but also said straight to the point: "of course, my official is willing to make an alliance with Liu Jingzhou to fight against Liu Zhang. It's just about sending troops. How should we send troops? How many troops do you and I send each other, and how should Yizhou be divided? "

The purpose of attacking Liu Zhang was to gain profits.

Therefore, the most fundamental thing is interests.

In this regard, we must achieve a clear division and avoid conflicts afterwards.

Liu Xiu gave a thumbs up and praised: "Shijun is really forward-looking. It's just as the saying goes that our brothers are clear about the accounts. We should make a good decision in advance to avoid subsequent disputes."

Zhang Lu laughed, then waved: "come on, take the map."

As the voice fell, the soldier came up with a map and spread it between the tables of Liu Xiu and Zhang Lu. The map of this battle is not a small one. It's just a map within Yizhou. It's two feet long and wide. The mountains and rivers on the map are quite detailed.

Liu Xiu saw the map and raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Lu had such a detailed map of Yizhou. It seems that he had planned for Yizhou for a long time.

Otherwise, Zhang Lu will not prepare ahead of time.

However, the more greedy Zhang Lu was and the more he wanted to win Yizhou, the happier Liu Xiu was, because only in this way could Liu Xiu rest assured of Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu would do his best.

Liu Xiu pointed to the map and said, "since Shijun has prepared the map, he must have a draft. Shijun said, "how do you plan to divide Yizhou in the future?"
