Tianshi Mansion, a Taoist building, covers an area of ​​more than ten acres and is built along the edge of the palace in the inner city of Xuchang. It is composed of eight groups of Taoist palaces with their own characteristics, among which the Taihe Palace, the Bronze Palace, and the Jingle Palace are the leading ones.

Taihe Palace is the first of the eight palaces and is where Zhang Lu lived.

At this time, the Palace of Supreme Harmony was filled with smoke. All the civil and military officials of Hanzhong were dressed in Taoist robes. Following the leader of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu bowed three times and kowtowed to several Taoist gods before he stood up and stood in rows.

The octagonal palace lanterns hanging high on the beams looked dim and dim against the smoke, but it did seem that the people inside had a fairy spirit.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!" Zhang Lu is forty-five years old this year. He is tall and slender. He is wearing a Tai Chi robe and has a well-proportioned body. He has an indescribable chicness and leisurely contentment, and is full of the charm of a Taoist. As the protagonist in the scene

, he calmly waved his fly whisk, sang a song with everyone present, and then said:

"My lords, now there is a new nobleman in Xuchang, and he is a stranger! With some opportunities, he entered the palace and became the lord of a state! I don't know what your lords think about it?" After finishing speaking, Zhang Lu's eyes showed a strong light.

, scanning the people in the venue, his peeps towards Liangzhou were clearly evident.

Zhang Lu's number one counselor is Yan Pu. When Zhang Lu finished his opening remarks, everyone else turned their attention to him. Only Yan Pu could figure out Zhang Lu's thoughts clearly. The others could only wait for him to speak before they could speak.

.This man is a representative of a famous family in Hanzhong. He is dressed like Zhang Lu, wearing a Tai Chi Taoist robe. However, his figure is slightly hunchbacked and he does not have the natural personal charm of Zhang Lu.

Faced with Zhang Lu's thoughts, Yan Pu also understood. He knew that his lord had kept a low profile for many years after seizing the foundation of Hanzhong in one fell swoop. Whether he was facing the old Central Plains overlord Yuan Shao or the new Central Plains overlord Cao Cao, he would be in trouble.

Keep a low profile.

Even in the battle for Yuan's three states triggered by Yuan Shao's death, the lord kept it secret. In order to avoid His Majesty the Emperor's suspicion, he accompanied the yellow-haired boy in the palace day and night... However, how could the lord's mind be affected?

Is it just a place in Hanzhong?

Liangzhou, located at the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor, was an important town on the ancient Silk Road. It has the reputation of "the ancient capital of the four Liangs and the capital of Hexi" in history. The most important thing is that Liangzhou controls a large number of war horses and is the most powerful force in this era.

Arms! And with Liangzhou taking control of the Xianbei land, along with the corridors of the Silk Road,

He seems to have been controlled by Liangzhou! The most important thing is that the current lord of Liangzhou is just a stranger. He cannot conquer all the armies, and his reputation cannot impress the people of the world! If Zhang Lu can take Liangzhou into his pocket,

This is a rare opportunity! Such an opportunity! It is really rare! It is a big opportunity that makes Zhang Lu tempted!

Yan Pu understood Zhang Lu's thoughts very well. He thought for a while, and after he understood his thoughts, he was the first to speak: "My lord, Zeng Yu, the prince of Liangzhou, has ascended to the throne! Although he has achieved great things, he has never been able to win.

Then, Ma Teng was convinced! Even Han Sui and Ma Teng didn't take half a step forward in their camp in Liangzhou in Xuchang! It can be seen that this man's influence in Liangzhou

How is the people's hearts! The Qiang and Di people live together in Liangzhou! Han Sui and Ma Teng are the best among them! They represent the interests of most people in Liangzhou! This is a great opportunity for the lord to plot Liangzhou! As long as Han Sui is diplomatic

, Ma Teng, stir up interests! Zeng Yu’s foundation is shallow and there is nothing to worry about. The land of Liangzhou can be completely owned by the lord!"

"Okay!" Zhang Lu's eyes sparkled, and the corner of his mouth drew an arc of joy. Yan Pu obviously hit his mind, and he said proudly: "Brother Yan really has a sharp gaze, and he can see all the shortcomings of Liangzhou at a glance.

It’s clear! I think so too! A mere yellow-haired kid is still a visitor from outside the world, and his name is not spread to heaven.

Next, he only gained the support of a few Liangzhou people by defeating some Hulu foreigners! How can he rule Liangzhou forever? Now, Zeng Yu has offended His Majesty the Emperor by merging the state! As long as he speaks in front of His Majesty the Emperor

One or two! If we deprive him of the position of Liangzhou Shepherd, he will die without a burial place!"

"My lord, you have kept a low profile and your Majesty the Emperor is full of praise! I think you are the most loyal to the royal family in the world! As long as you take action, won't Liangzhou Huangmao'er's official position be within reach? By then, there will be no honorable position.

How can Zeng Yu's son be our opponent? What a brilliant plan! Your lord is worthy of being the god-man closest to the Infinite Heavenly Lord! Everything is planned! In this way, we can take over Liangzhou without any effort.

Land!"

"A certain Yang Ang is a rough man and doesn't know anything about strategy! But with the blood in his chest and abdomen, he can also expand the territory of the lord! As long as you give the order, the lord! A certain family will get rid of the Liangzhou Shepherd even overnight.

The child’s head! Let the lord take Liangzhou easily! How can he spend so much effort?"

"A certain Yang Ren has no merit and only accompanies the Celestial Master at the green lantern! Wherever demons roam rampant, I will hold a gun to protect the Dharma! This kid Zeng Yu from Liangzhou dares to displease the Celestial Master. Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will be punished."

Knock him down to the eighteenth level of hell!"

"Kill to Liangzhou! Go to my lord to get rid of a serious enemy! Let me wait for the generals of Hanzhong to have a place to stay! My lord's plan is truly unparalleled in the world! Excellent! A certain Yan Zhi will definitely do his best, even through fire and water, he will do it for his lord.

Open up a vast territory and let the lord successfully take Liangzhou under his command!"

…

Zhang Lu's confidants Zhang Wei, Yang Ang, Yang Ren, Yang Bai, Yan Zhi and other generals in the hall are all loyal followers of Zhang Lu. They all wear Taoist robes. Although they are generals, they look like Taoist priests. This

They all expressed their loyalty to Zhang Lu in some aspect. Among the forces in Hanzhong, they all had Zhang Lu's voice, so when Zhang Lu expressed his feelings so ambitiously, these generals immediately became beaming and appeared to be very passionate, and they came out of the list.

Express your own thoughts.

However, these generals were all reckless, and Zhang Wei was the only one who spoke in a coherent manner. The Five Pecks of Rice Road founded by Zhang Lu was actually the same as the Yellow Turban Uprising founded by Zhang Jiao. Both of them used rude people from the countryside as generals to charge into battle, and there were no aristocratic families.

I am a young man, so I am just an average person in terms of knowledge and conversation, and I can’t stand up to much.

However, Zhang Lu was happy to hear it! As the leader of Taoism, he has countless loyal believers, even if they are powerless, they are willing to die with him! He only needs to lead a few generals to charge into the battle, dare to die

That's enough for now! Therefore, in this gathering, he is just conveying his opinions! As the leader of a religion, he does not need many smart people in the hall to disagree with him.

After getting the expressions he wanted from his subordinates, Zhang Lu nodded slightly, raised his dust, and looked particularly noble in the misty smoke. He raised a strange arc at the corner of his mouth: "The only thing that matters in the world is

There is great power! We uphold the will of Heavenly Lord and teach in the mortal world.

Transform ordinary people, but the world is in chaos and there are many princes! This is extremely detrimental to the will of unifying Taoism! Only by attacking one place and slowly educating can the will of Tianzun be subtly transferred into everyone's heart! Only in this way can everyone

A person can transcend the world and reach heaven!"

"Infinite Heavenly Lord! We, the Five Pecks of Rice, do not do it for personal gain, but to make a living for the world! Let the living have food and clothing! This is our ultimate goal!" Zhang Lu is also an idealistic person. When talking about his ideals, he talks endlessly,

His spirit was also a hundred times higher, making his subordinates feel that it was a great honor to attack under his command.

"Everything is for the sake of all sentient beings in the world! Infinite Heavenly Lord!" Usually when Zhang Lu talks about his ideals, it is almost at the end. All the generals in Hanzhong bow down and retire one by one.

At this time, only Yan Pu was left in the hall, and what happened next was all conspiracy and conspiracy, which required careful planning by Yan Pu and Zhang Lu. This was also a law that was not allowed to enter his ears, and it was not appropriate for others to wait here to listen.

"My lord, what are you planning to do to impress the emperor? You must know that although the emperor hated Zeng Yu for obstructing Cao Cao's strategy in Bingzhou, he still admired Zeng Yu's actions in Liangzhou! After all, the Han Empire was known as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The most outstanding achievements! And the achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are all famous for expelling the barbarians. Zeng Yu's actions in the Western Regions and Xianbei were all against the barbarians.

! He did not participate too much in the civil strife in the Central Plains. In the emperor's heart, Zeng Yu's merits and demerits are still based on meritorious service. Perhaps Zeng Yu's position as state pastor will not be revoked." Yan Pu can be regarded as a psychological expert of this era, and he often follows

As Zhang Lu walked in and out of the palace, he also understood His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts quite well. Knowing that His Majesty the Emperor still had some reserved appreciation for Liangzhou's actions, he said with some worry.

Zhang Lu was also a Shinto man who started out by bewitching the people. Especially, he spent much more time in contact with the emperor than Yan Pu. Therefore, he also expected Yan Pu's concerns, but he did not treat them as Yan Pu did.

worry

His heart was written on his face. Seeing that his face was still as calm as before, he waved the fly whisk lightly. Against the background of the smoke and the ferocious statues around him, the smell of immortal wind and Taoist bones came out naturally, and he said leisurely

: "Brother Yan, you

As expected, Zeng Yu's insight into the foreign races really inspired the young emperor! However, for the young emperor, it is the last word to hold the power in his own hands! There are hundreds of armored men in Liangzhou.

Wan, Zeng Yu supports his troops with self-respect, and it is obvious that Dong Zhuo has reappeared! Dong Zhuo's shadow on the young emperor may be difficult to erase in this life! So, as long as we start from here, we are not afraid that the young emperor will not attack Zeng Yu!"

Yan Pu still had doubts. This was a plan for the princes, so he had to act cautiously. His worry was written on his face, his brows were furrowed, and he stepped forward and said: "Although my lord's words are reasonable, Zeng Yu has not made friends since he came to Xuchang."

Foreign ministers such as Han Sui, Ma Teng and other Liang

The local general of the state has clearly expressed his feelings and will not act recklessly under the eyes of the emperor. Although the emperor has lived in the palace for a long time and is ignorant of human affairs, he is smart. He should also understand this! How could Zeng Yu be so respectful to him?

…”

Zhang Lu's broad sleeves danced, and he smiled slightly. A wave of relaxed comfort came out, interrupting Yan Pu's conversation, "The emperor's ideas will naturally be handled by the small yellow gate in the palace for us! No need to say too much

Worry! The most important thing is to let Zeng Yu be trapped in Xuchang and unable to return to Liangzhou before we can get down to business! This yellow-haired boy, although

He is a strange person, but he has strict control over his subordinates! If we let him slip back to Liangzhou, I'm afraid our plan will be in vain! The only way is to let him stay in Xuchang, and then trick the emperor into removing his title.

, give officials and titles to the people left behind in Liangzhou, and divide them up, so that you can easily take Liangzhou into your hands!"

Only then did Yan Pu understand Zhang Lu's plan. It turned out that Zhang Lu had not thought about letting the big guys personally persuade the emperor. Instead, he planned to bribe Xiao Huangmen from the palace to seduce him. The emperor had a young mind and no one around him.

Of course, any person who is close to him cannot avoid giving trust to the Xiao Huangmen around him like Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, it is the most appropriate thing to use Xiao Huangmen to confuse the emperor.

After figuring out the key, Yan Pu praised him and said with admiration: "My lord, your plan is indeed watertight! This Zeng Yu is just an outsider. Even generals like Han Sui and Ma Teng don't pay attention to it. Why?

Can you escape and ascend to heaven under the master's plan?"

"Haha!" Zhang Lu laughed. He moved around, his Taoist robes fluttering, and an indescribable Taoist rhyme trembled. He didn't see his lips opening and closing, but he could hear the sound flowing in the air: "I'll leave this matter to you.

OK! Including asking the emperor

His Majesty's decree allows us to act with our rights and interests in Liangzhou! The other thing is to ask Zhang Wei and Yang Ang to rush to Liangzhou quickly, and take advantage of Liangzhou General Yan Xing's stay in Xuchang to convey His Majesty's decree and conquer all of Liangzhou.

A place of greatness!”

"Liangzhou Su Wen, Wei Kang, Tianshui Ma family, Jincheng Cheng Gongying, these are all Liangzhou people! Be sure to win over them! Take Liangzhou in the palm of your hand!"

Zhang Lu's figure had gone away, but the lingering sound lingered twice, causing Yan Pu to kneel on the ground and watch Zhang Lu's figure leave. Unknowingly, his body was dripping with cold sweat. The leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Taoism, who always looked harmless and thought about the people,

, once he gets ruthless, he is no less powerful than the great princes and powerful forces in the world! Even the powerful clans in Liangzhou have plotted against him one by one, which makes Yan Pu convinced!

This will be a big storm! As long as Liangzhou is owned, Hanzhong will become a major force in the world! It will no longer be under the great forces such as Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan! It will definitely be a heavy shuffle!

Yan Pu slowly stood up from the ground, a bit of cold light shot out from his eyes, far away

Shoot to the east, where the Taiwei Mansion is located and where the current Liangzhou Mu Zeng Yu lives! In his mind, if Liangzhou is to be replaced, Zeng Yu is a roadblock that must be removed! Even if it is

The emperor wanted to protect him, so he also wanted to completely wipe out Zeng Yu! This was a necessary thing!

At this time, Zeng Yu, who was staying in the Taiwei's mansion, was leisurely chatting with Su Wen and Yan Xing, sitting cross-legged in the quiet room sipping tea. He seemed to feel Yan Pu's murderous intention, and a sneeze flew out, and the teacup in Zeng Yu's hand also

He couldn't help but tremble, and the tea couldn't help but spurt out.

This was an embarrassing thing. Still in front of his subordinates, Zeng Yu gently put down the tea cup with a smile on his face: "It's funny, I seem to have a cold! It seems that the protagonist, Lord Taiwei, is not here today.

It’s too leisurely and too relaxing!”
