Hanzhong, Zhang Lu camp.
Candles were lit in the tent, and small wine and some kiwis, pears, grapes and other fruits were placed on the table.
Zhang Lu was holding a dossier about Shuzhong and looking at it.
Not only did he want to capture Hanzhong, but after capturing Hanzhong, he also wanted to offer strategies to appease Shuzhong to the prince of Daqianjian Kingdom.
Otherwise, if he regained Hanzhong for the imperial court, the imperial court might directly take back all the power of governance.
Naturally, he does not seek to become the second Liu Zhu, and there will be no second Liu Zhu.
Naturally, he must be a loyal minister of the great cadres.
A personal entourage came in and reported: "Commander, an angel is here, saying that he has sent a letter of authorization to the Marshal."
Zhang Lu was overjoyed and stood up excitedly. He wanted to go out to greet him, but he paused, sat down again, and said eagerly: "Please come quickly."
Xu Yuanshu seemed to be a little tired. After all, the best way to enter Shu was currently at war, so he could only come through a remote road.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work coming all the way."
Xu Yuanshu said: "It's not hard work to eat the king's salary and share the king's worries. His Highness heard that Zhang Gong understood the righteousness and contacted all parties in Shu to resist Liu Zhu's traitors. He felt that there were still people like Zhang Gong in Daqian. As a loyal person who cares about the country and the people, I immediately sent my Majesty to come with the letter of appointment from His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince’s edict.”
Zhang Lu was so excited that he stood up quickly and extended his hand to invite Xu Yuanshu to take a seat. He walked to the front and asked others to come to welcome Xu Yuanshu to read the prince's edict.
Just a moment.
Everyone is here.
Xu Yuanshu took out the prince's edict from his arms, a black and yellow brocade silk. He had no choice but to make it a formal one, which was not easy to carry, so it was better to be simple and portable.
Moistening his throat, he spoke: "Liu Zhu deceives the heaven and the earth. As a minister, he harms living beings. He is cruel and unkind and full of sins!"
"I heard that Zhang Lu in Shu was trying to make changes in danger, and loyal ministers were worried that it would be difficult to establish power. Therefore, if there are extraordinary people, then extraordinary things will happen; if there are extraordinary things, then extraordinary achievements will be made. Those who are extraordinary are definitely planned by extraordinary people also."
"Therefore, Zhang Lu is now appointed as the prefect of Hanzhong and deputy commander-in-chief of Pingxi. Liu Zhang is appointed as the prefect of Yizhou and Xue Ju is appointed as the prefect of Yuzhou. They assist Pingxi Marshal Yue Hongling and deputy commander Zhang Lu to put down the rebellion of Liu Zhu's rebels. Give peace to Shu, and bring peace to the world!"
Zhang Lu and others quickly bowed and saluted, with excitement in their eyes.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my best to quickly put down Liu Zhu's rebellion, so as to appease the people of Shu and restore peace to Shu."
Xu Yuanshu said: "Get up quickly, Mr. Zhang. Whether peace can be restored in Shu as soon as possible and the people can resume their livelihood as soon as possible, it all depends on Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Lu patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, your Majesty, we already have a complete plan."
"Liu Zhu's rebellion was against nature, and the people were miserable. Now he was defeated by His Highness King Yan and beaten to pieces by Commander Yue. Hearing that we had recaptured Hanzhong in Shu, he quickly withdrew his troops. "
"Oh, with this retreat, wouldn't it mean that we have entered the big pit that we have prepared for him a long time ago?"
"This is called catching a turtle in a urn!"
Xu Yuanshu slightly cupped his hands and said, "Then, I will follow Duke Zhang and watch him capture the traitor Liu Zhu."
"Make great achievements in battle!"
At this time, Zhang Lu was still in high spirits, so he naturally nodded repeatedly and said, "That's natural. Your Majesty is with me and is watching how someone captures the traitor Liu Zhu!"
…
Chang'an.
Guo Ziyi and Di Yan walked into the Xi Zheng Hall and saw Xiao Yi sitting in the first seat, and they quickly bowed and saluted.
"My lord, please pay your respects to Your Highness."
Xiao Yi said: "Without courtesy, if you come, I will give you a seat."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After the two sat down, Di Yanxian raised his hands and said, "Your Highness, Minister Xu has already arrived in Shuzhong?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
Di Yan looked at Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi said: "Your Highness, this person Zhang Lu..."
Xiao Yi looked at the two people and said: "I know what you are worried about. Zhang Lu took the initiative to contact people from various forces in Shu to resist Liu Zhu together. Now that he has been appointed as the prefect, he is likely to become the second Liu Zhu. "
"Yeah?"
Di Yan nodded, and Guo Ziyi said: "Your Highness, you have to be on guard."
Xiao Yi leaned on the chair and said with emotion: "Gu Ziran also knows that he has to guard against it, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it can only be like this."
"It would be better to have one less game and less losses."
"Gu said that Liu Zhu is not Da Qian's worry."
"General Yue has a suggestion. Take this opportunity to let the new recruits see blood without having to take down Liu Zhu in one go."
"This skinny camel is bigger than a horse."
"If we really push Liu Zhu too far, he will definitely let the other party lead everyone to fight to the death."
"As a result, the Yulin Army's losses will inevitably increase."
"Since Zhang Lu takes the initiative to shoulder this burden, why not give him a chance."
"The imperial court has lost control of Shuzhong for many years. Even if we put down Liu Zhu's rebellion, we are really unclear about the various forces in Shuzhong. How can we effectively govern Shuzhong?"
"Now that Zhang Lu has united with others to resist Liu Zhu, won't he be able to let us see clearly the situation in Shu?"
"It is impossible for Zhang Lu to become the second Liu Zhu, and it is impossible for Gu to become the second Liu Zhu."
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he directly took out the strategy he had prepared for dealing with Shuzhong and handed it to Eunuch Huaiji beside him, asking him to pass it on to Guo Ziyi and Di Yan.
"You can take a look. The above is Gu Dui's plan after regaining Shuzhong. If there are any mistakes, you can also add them."
The two looked together.
The more he looked at it, the more he admired Xiao Yi's methods.
But, after all, they are famous ministers, and the two of them really have some additions, which adds a luster to this plan.
With this strategy, even if Zhang Lu is the governor of Hanzhong, he cannot become the second Liu Zhu.
…
Hanzhong.
"Prince Dog, you are going too far!"
Liu Zhu yelled and tore the document in his hand to pieces.
This article completely nailed him to the pillar of shame as a rebel. In the future history, he Liu Zhu will definitely be a rebel in Daqian and a rebellious official in Shu.
And his political achievements in governing Shuzhong over the years have probably been brushed aside.
You must know that Liu Zhu actually has the ability to govern the world. He served as the prefect of Hanzhong in Shuzhong for many years, and he really managed Hanzhong like a flower.
Nowadays, Shu brocade has become Daqian's finest brocade and silk, and can be regarded as a collectible.
In addition, there is naturally a tea business, which is booming.
It was because of these two industries that the Shu Road was built repeatedly, and it became as wide as it is now.
In the past, it was really difficult to enter Shuzhong.
In some places, there is just an iron chain set up above the rushing river, and then people just hold on to the iron chain and pass slowly.
And he spent manpower and material resources to build a rope bridge, which made traveling much more convenient.
In the past, many people hid directly in the mountains and forests, because there were not only Han people in Shu, but also some Yi tribes, barbarians, etc., which were called Southern Barbarians.
It was also he who led the people to recover these Yi and barbarian people, let them go down the mountains, established villages, and taught them farming.
The rice in Sichuan is also unique.
Even some fine rice directly became tribute.
But if you take one wrong step this morning, you will make mistakes every step of the way.
"Lord!"
"Yue Hongling is catching up with his soldiers and horses!"
Just when Liu Zhu tore up the documents and sat there sulking, not knowing what to do.
The subordinates came to report.
Liu Zhu's face darkened, but he did not panic. He just stood up and paced.
"Come here, summon Ma Chao and Fazheng."
When the two of them arrived at the camp, Liu Zhu saluted them directly and said, "Zhu really feels guilty for dragging you two down today!"
The two people hurriedly stepped forward, one on the left and the other on the right, to help Liu Zhu up.
Ma Chao said: "If my lord hadn't taken me in and helped me avenge my father's murder, I would have been thrown into a mass grave long ago."
"Lord, let's fight back to Hanzhong now and kill the capricious Zhang Lu kid first!"
