Chapter 083 Zhang Lu, who loves the people like a son
"Yes." Fazheng then let go and said: "There is no problem with Zhou Buji's strategy. Miss Xiao will definitely increase her momentum by using the banner of General Zhang Ren and the Qiang people. She can also make the Nanzheng garrison think that it is the main force of our Sichuan army and the Qiang people.
We will jointly attack Hanzhong, but I think it is more appropriate to replace General Zhang Ren with General Wei Yan.
Zhou Bujie didn’t know that General Wei Yan defeated Zhang Wei’s 30,000 troops at the Bailong River with 7,000 exhausted troops, which shocked Hanzhong and became famous all over the world. If Miss Xiao fights Wei Yan’s banner, she will definitely frighten the Nanzheng garrison.”
"Well, this modification makes it a pity." Liu Zhang sighed and stood up: "If it weren't for Zhou Buji this time, I would have almost fallen into the trap of a villain like Yang Song, and my reputation would have been lost in my life. Back then,
Zhou Buji said that I would be rewarded for letting him live. I didn't expect him to come so soon. Although it was indeed a great help, I always felt that it was a pity. At least he should have kept it until Xuchang was broken and used in Jianye.
.”
Fazheng smiled and said: "Lord, we didn't ask Zhou Buji this time. He wrote the letter himself, so it can't be considered as repayment."
Liu Zhang looked at Fazheng: "Is this okay?"
"It makes sense."
"Hahahaha." The two looked at each other and laughed. It is said that some people still laugh happily after being sold, and they are referring to these two people. If these two people knew that Zhou Buwei killed three birds with one stone in order to go to Hanzhong, for
Liu Zhang apologized for his headache and helped pave the way for Xiao Furong to take up her position. The two of them couldn't laugh anymore.
At this time, there was someone happier than Liu Zhang and Fazheng, and that was Yang Song in Nanzheng City. Yang Song was walking around among several boxes of treasures, touching gold from time to time, grabbing a handful of jewelry from time to time, and couldn't put it down, looking to the side.
The subordinate official said: "Who sent this? You are really thoughtful. You must have agreed to any request."
"Sir, this is sent secretly by an envoy sent by Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou, along with a letter."
"Liu Zhang?" Yang Song's smile suddenly faded. He took the letter and read it. Yang Song looked struggling, glanced at the treasures, patted the letter and said, "This, this, this, how come this was sent by Liu Zhang?
You want me to force Zhang Wei to fight, and you also want me to cooperate inside and outside."
"How about? We agree to him?" The official probed his head and said carefully. According to Yang Song's character, the official felt that Yang Song would not agree to such a treasure.
"What a promise." Yang Song threw away the letter, "If someone else has to pay it back, it would be Liu Zhang. If I let this butcher enter Nanzheng, will my Yang family's foundation still be lost?"
Yang Song's reaction was beyond that of an official, and he said: "Then? Return these treasures?"
"Of course not." Yang Song thought about it for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said with a sinister smile: "Liu Zhang threw himself into a trap. Don't blame me, Yang Song, for being ruthless. My military advisor is going to make a great contribution this time. Quickly
Get the car ready quickly, I'm going to Master Jun's residence."
Zhang Lu and Yan Pu, another counselor, were discussing matters in the mansion. Zhang Lu sat on a chair wearing a Taoist robe, felt his body, and sighed: "It's really comfortable to have these gadgets in Yizhou. The Double Ninth Festival will be in ten days, and I
I see this thing will be useful in sacrifices."
Yan Pu said with a worried look on his face: "Master, don't worry about this for now. Now that Liu Zhang's army is approaching, we need to think of a countermeasure."
Zhang Lu said disapprovingly: "Didn't I already deploy 10,000 people to Dingjun Mountain? I also invited Shangyong Shendan to come for reinforcements. Liu Zhang only had 30,000 people, so what's the point? Nanzheng is as solid as gold, so Yan Gongcao doesn't need it.
I'm worried, but you have to think carefully about this sacrifice. In the past, you prepared one month in advance every year. This year, because of Liu Zhang, there are only ten days left. If something goes wrong, I'm sorry for the hundreds of thousands of households in Hanzhong."
Zhang Lu is different from many people who play religion. People like Zhang Jiao and others use religion to paralyze the people and realize their ambitions, but Zhang Lu is a person who really wants to benefit the people. After Zhang Lu improved Zhang Xiu’s Five Pecks of Rice Religion
, realized the earliest**.
Every New Year's Eve, the Hanzhong priests and priests will set up a restaurant next to the official road. There is no charge for eating and eating meat at the restaurant. They also encourage Hanzhong's big households to set up soup kitchens. According to the amount of donation, these big households' contribution to the Five Pecks of Rice religion will be assessed.
contribution.
For a person like Zhang Lu who loves the people, the Double Ninth Festival sacrifice is naturally an important event every year. It is related to the people's good weather and family happiness throughout the year.
"Master." Yan Pu became more and more anxious as he listened to Zhang Lu's chatter, "We can't be careless. Watching Liu Zhang's three battles in Fucheng, Brazil, and Tiandang Baishui, we are used to defeating more with less, so we must be fully prepared.
ah."
"Okay, okay, tell me, how are you going to prepare?" Zhang Lu became impatient at first.
Yan Pu said: "Now it seems that Liu Zhang's military strength is equal to ours. We have Dingjunshan to echo each other and Shendan to help. We are 80% sure of holding Nanzheng, but we cannot ignore the other 20%. We should also recruit
The followers will help defend the city. If Liu Zhang attacks by force, these followers can play a big role."
"Recruiting believers?" Zhang Lu thought for a moment and said, "How much time will it take? Do you still have time to prepare for the Double Ninth Festival sacrifice?"
"This... Master, let's put it aside for this year's Double Ninth Festival sacrifice."
"Absolutely not." Zhang Lu said flatly: "Everything can be allowed, but important events such as sacrifices cannot be allowed. If it is not carried out as scheduled, the people will be uneasy. The harvest will not be good next year, or a plague will occur. Wouldn't it be that I, the master, have neglected my duty?
?”
When Yan Pu was in trouble, Yang Song ran in. Yan Pu frowned when he saw Yang Song. He was a Brazilian who had followed Zhang Lu to conquer Su Gu and came to Hanzhong. He was domineering towards Yang Song.
The local snake didn't like to see him. Looking at Yang Song's happy look, he must have thought of some two hundred and fifty idea. He couldn't help but worry that Zhang Lu was bewitched by this villain again.
As soon as Yang Song rushed in, he said happily: "Master, Master, Yang Song thought hard all night last night and finally came up with a good way to defeat the enemy. This time Liu Zhang will never come back."
"Will it take a lot of time?" Zhang Lu lay on his back on the chair and asked casually.
"You can capture Liu Zhang in one fell swoop."
"Oh?" Zhang Lu suddenly became energetic: "If this is the case, I won't delay the sacrifice. Tell me quickly."
Yang Song handed the letter to Zhang Lu. While Zhang Lu was reading it, Yang Song said righteously: "Liu Zhang is an ignorant kid. What kind of person do you think I am, Yang Song? I, Yang Song, am loyal to my master. How can a little bribe move me?"
"My heart is so ridiculous, I will turn the money into grain and rice and give it to the people, as a token of your kindness."
After Zhang Lu read the letter, he raised his head and praised Yang Song: "Master Yang is really commendable for his loyalty. Not only is he loyal to me, but he also cares about the people. I will definitely be rich in rewards when I look back. Please tell me quickly if you have any good strategies for defeating the enemy, Master Yang."
.”
Yang Song raised his head and said: "The strategy to defeat the enemy lies in this letter. Doesn't Liu Zhang want me to cooperate with him inside and outside? Then we will simply use the plan. Ten days later, we will set up an ambush at the west gate and wait until Liu Zhang enters the city.
, attack in groups, even if they can't kill Liu Zhang, they can still defeat him. If there are Shen Dan, Zhang Wei and others, won't they be able to destroy Liu Zhang at the gate of Nanzheng City?"
