Although the power of the Black Ice Terrace in Yizhou is strong, the real owner of Xichuan is Liu Zhang. Once Liu Bei seizes Xichuan, it is difficult to guarantee that these people who secretly seek refuge in the Black Ice Terrace will breed with Liu Bei's means and Zhuge Liang's plan. Come up with another idea.

"Now that Zhang Lu's commander respects the lord on the surface, Zhang Lu is not as simple as on the surface. He will not easily give up the power in his hands, and Zhang Lu has a very high prestige in Hanzhong and even in Xichuan. He claims to be There are many followers of the Five Dou Mi Sect, which is why Liu Zhang dare not easily tear his face with Zhang Lu. Otherwise, with Zhang Lu's 20,000 soldiers and horses, it is not easy to resist Liu Zhang's army. "Qin Tiandao.

"In this way, it is not easy to get Zhang Lu to take refuge in." Pang Tongdao.

Qin Tiandao: "If the Lord decides to take Hanzhong, just let Zhang Lu suffer a little bit, and he will bow his head and listen to the Lord's orders."

What kind of person Pang Tong was. After a little thought, he understood the meaning of Qin Tian's words. After the two had a long conversation, Qin Tian got up and said goodbye.

Pang Tong was lost in thought. From the behavior of Qin Tian just now, he could feel that Qin Tian did not have a strange heart towards Lv Bu. This was also one of his purposes for this trip to Hanzhong, and Qin Tian controlled the power through a few words. It can be seen that it is extremely powerful, which also gives Pang Tong greater confidence in seizing Hanzhong in the future.

Three days later, Zhang Lu sent people to summon Pang Tong to discuss major issues.

Looking at the civilians and military commanders gathered in the Taishou Mansion, Pang Tong showed an imperceptible smile. With Qin Tian's secret support, his trip will be much smoother than expected.

"The messenger is still used to Nanzheng. Nanzheng is no better than Chang'an and Jinyang, but a small city." Zhang Lu smiled.

Pang Tong said: "Premier Zhang's words are too polite, Nanzheng is prosperous, and Zhang Taishou's talents are abundant, even if it is better than Jinyang, it is not weaker."

Zhang Lu laughed and said, "Please sit down, messenger."

"This official wants to form an alliance with Jin Hou, I don't know what the messenger means?" Zhang Lu asked suddenly.

Pang Tongdao: "This matter is of great importance. It is not because you can call the shots. After returning to Chang'an, you will report to the Ming Dynasty, and then you will reply with Zhang Taishou."

There was a hint of disappointment in Zhang Lu's expression. If he could unite with Lu Bu, it would be extremely beneficial to Hanzhong. However, Zhang Lu also understood that Hanzhong's strength was not worth mentioning in front of Lu Bu, and the only thing that could be relied on was location.

After some temptation, under Zhang Lu's gesture, everyone left one after another.

In Zhang Lu's room, important figures in Hanzhong gathered, including counselors Yang Song and Yan Pu, military commanders Zhang Wei, Yang Ren, Yang Ang, and Yang Bai.

Zhang Lu said slowly: "Now that you look at Jin Marquis, I'm afraid I want to get help from Hanzhong. I don't know how you think about it?" As Qin Tian said, although Zhang Lu is fascinated by the five-dou rice sect, he is concerned about these things. It can still be seen clearly. As long as the person in charge of one party, he will not easily choose to take refuge in others. As long as he takes refuge, it means that more things will be lost.

Yan Pu said: "The lord, although the Jin Marquis is powerful now, Hanzhong has not had the power to resist, and the Jin Marquis has repeatedly fought against the Han Dynasty. He is a rebel in the eyes of the princes. It is extremely unfavorable for the lord to take refuge in these characters. Moreover, Jin Hou's treatment of the aristocratic family is cruel. Once he enters Hanzhong, it will be a disaster for the Hanzhong aristocratic family.

The rest of the people's expressions changed slightly. To a certain extent, they all represent aristocratic families. If it is really like the rumors outside, they will have more thoughts.

Yang Song smiled and said: "You are just listening to the rumors from the outside world. As far as I know, the aristocratic families under the rule of the Jin Marquis are not as miserable as Er et al. Under the rule of the Jin Marquis, there is probably no aristocratic family, and these aristocratic families are also It has a lot of power, such as the Mi family in Bingzhou, the Zhen family in Jizhou, and the Xu family. Among them, the Xu family in Jizhou has not been embarrassed after taking refuge in Jinhou, but now the power in Jizhou is even greater. Of course, the reason why Jinhou Treating these aristocratic families in this way has a lot to do with the secret methods of these aristocratic families. As a monarch, in the face of the chaos of the aristocratic family, how will the monarch choose? Continue to tolerate the aristocratic family? Or take action?"

The people in the hall showed a contemplative expression on their faces.

"Master Yang's remarks cannot be disagreed in the next. The marriage of Zhou Mi's family, Jizhou Zhen's family and Lu Bu will naturally not be embarrassed. However, the aristocratic family in Hanzhong has no such relationship with Jinhou." Yan Pu retorted: "And will After Hanzhong is transferred out, you can continue to serve as officials and generals under the Jin Hou, where should the lord go?"

Seeing Zhang Lu's expression condensed, Yang Song hurriedly said: "Master, Jin Hou is now very powerful. If you resist the Jin Hou, with the strength of Hanzhong, it is extremely difficult to succeed. Now Chang'an has only five troops. Ten thousand people, don't forget that Jin Marquis trained in Jizhou last year. In just half a month, he gathered a hundred thousand troops in Lingxian County. With such a powerful strength, even though Hanzhong has odd risks to defend, Jin Marquis's subordinates did not. There are sharp weapons such as thunderbolt cars and bed crossbows."

When Zhang Lu heard this, he fell into silence again. The thunderbolt car owned by Lu Bu was certainly not a small injury to the soldiers guarding the pass. Although Hanzhong had experienced repeated battles with Liu Zhang, he did not think Hanzhong was in terms of the strength of the soldiers. The soldiers can contend with the elite soldiers under Lu Bu's command.

"Yang Song, did you take advantage of the Jinhou, here to speak for the Jinhou in every possible way." Yan Pu shouted.

Yang Song coldly snorted: "I'm just speaking from the truth. Could you really wait until the Jin Marquis army arrives before you wake up?"

"Well, you guys don't want to argue, it's all about Hanzhong. If you can save the people of Hanzhong from the war, what will it do if the official has taken refuge in Jinhou." Zhang Lu said.

"The lord must not, and now Hanzhong is not without the power of a battle. The lord might as well send an envoy to Jingzhou to unite with Liu Bei. In this way, even if Liu Bei enters Xichuan, Hanzhong will have no worries." Yan Pu persuaded.

Zhang Lu snorted coldly after hearing the words: "The official would rather be a courtier of the Jin Marquis, and he would not be a guest of Liu Beizuo."

Zhang Lu promoted the Five Dou Rice Sect under his rule. In fact, the Five Dou Rice Sect is similar to the Yellow Turban. The reason why Zhang Lu has such a high prestige in Hanzhong has a lot to do with the Five Dou Rice Sect. Zhang Lu treats the people extremely generously. In other words, Liu Bei, a so-called generous person, seemed a little hypocritical. At this time, the population under Zhang Lu's rule reached two million, which was nearly one-third of the population of Yizhou. It can be said to have a powerful influence.
