Pang Xi's suggestion that Liu Zhang's idea of ​​fighting Hanzhong was not only because Hanzhong, as the northern gateway to Yizhou, poses a threat to Yizhou, but also because of the struggle between Pang Xi and Zhao Wei.

At this time, the political separatist in Yizhou was Zhao Wei leading the troops outside and Pang Xi was governing the country inside.

If it was a peaceful era, Pang Xi would not care about Zhao Wei who was excluded from the center of power. Unfortunately, it was a chaotic era. In addition, Zhao Wei had pacified the rebellion of Chen Mi, Lou Fa, Gan Ning and others, and had a very high reputation, which made Pang Xi begin to worry about whether Zhao Wei would come back in the future and liquidate himself.

The way Pang Xi thought of was to divide Zhao Wei's military power and make himself more military achievements.

Zhao Wei's position at this time was General of the Eastern Army, who led his troops to station in Qunin, which was later in Chongqing Wanzhou.

This place guards the Yangtze River and is an important place to prevent the Jingzhou army from entering Shu.

If the Yizhou army wanted to attack Hanzhong, because of the obstruction of Daba Mountain, the best way was to leave Baishui Pass, go to Hanshui, and take the Hanzhong capital Nanzheng. This was also the route of Liu Bei's march in the battle between Liu Cao and Hanzhong in history.

Although this road is already an easier route, if the troops, horses, food and grass start from Chengdu, it will take thousands of miles and there is no waterway connection. The better option is to transport troops, horses, food and grass from Jiangzhou in Ba County and Dianjiang, so that you can transport them all the way to Baishui Pass through the Western Han River.

Therefore, as long as Liu Zhang made up his mind to take the opportunity to attack Hanzhong, Pang Xi could use this as an excuse to divide the troops, horses, food and grass in Ba County for his own use.

Moreover, Hanzhong was originally a land in Yizhou, and Zhao Wei wanted to refuse without any reason.

It can be said to be a dignified plot!

The subsequent development was indeed the same as Pang Xi had expected. Liu Zhang only hesitated for a day and made up his mind to send troops to attack Hanzhong as long as Hanzhong sends troops to join forces, so that Pang Xi can send more scouts to Hanzhong to investigate the reality and reality.

Zhang Lu from Hanzhong also received letters from Cao Cao at this time.

If someone traveled in the Han Dynasty in this era, he would find that Hanzhong was like another country.

Here, although Zhang Lu was the county magistrate of Hanzhong to the outside world, Zhang Lu was not called the county magistrate, but was called the king's army.

Taoist sects at the end of the Han Dynasty were mainly divided into three sects, namely the Taiping Dao led by Yu Ji and Zhang Jiao, the Huang-Lao Dao scattered in various places like Gan Shi, and the Zhengyi Dao in Bashu.

The ancestor of Zhengyidao is Zhang Ling, also known as Zhang Daoling. Zhengyi takes the power of Zhengyi. Because the leader is also called Tianshi, he is also called Tianshi Dao.

Zhang Lu is Zhang Ling's grandson, but he was not the leader of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect from the beginning. He was the leader of Zhengyidao. The Five Dogs of Rice Sect was actually a branch of Zhengyidao. It was created by Zhang Xiu. Because when Zhang Xiu treated people, if the patient recovered, no matter how poor or rich he would only collect five dogs of rice, he was called the Five Dogs of Rice Sect.

What? What should you do if you ask the uncured person?

A bold and evil spirit! If you ask such a question, you can't recover from this kind of person at first glance!

The Zheng Yidao, held by Zhang Lu and the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, held by Zhang Xiu, are similar in relationship to the Ming Cult and Tianying Cult written by Mr. Jin.

Zhang Lu lost his father at a young age. His mother relied on Liu Zhang to gain official support for Zhang Lu, and then led his troops to attack Su Gu, the former prefect of Hanzhong.

However, because Zhang Xiu's Five Dogs of Rice Dao is becoming more and more powerful in the Zhengyi Dao, and Zhang Xiu's official position is higher than Zhang Lu's, Zhang Lu and his son are extremely afraid of Zhang Xiu. Zhang Lu's mother persuaded Liu Zhang and instigated Zhang Lu to kill Zhang Xiu and annex the Five Dogs of Rice Dao.

However, there are too many believers in the Five Doks of Rice. Even if Zhang Lu is the leader of Zhengyi, he dare not ban it directly. He simply turned against him. Zhang Lu appointed himself as the leader of the Five Doks of Rice and established a regime that integrates religion and politics in Hanzhong.

What Zhang Jiao didn't accomplish was done by this junior.

Zhengyidao is like the thirty-six directions of Taiping Dao, with twenty-four rulers. The leader is called Dugong. Zhang Lu continued his past practice and set up a high-level priest wine in various places in Hanzhong. He did not set up county officials according to the Han Dynasty system. Therefore, you can't find the county government in Hanzhong, so you can only find the priest wine palace. Zhang Lu also made his own Dugong seal for these high-level priest wine, which made Hanzhong not recognize the official seal of the Han Dynasty, but only recognize these seals, which can be said to be completely independent of the Han system.

It is worth mentioning that among these twenty-four rituals, Zhang Lu, as the leader of the sect, started his own sect, Yangpingzhi, whose seal is the Yangpingzhi Du Gong Seal, which is commonly known as the Tianshi Seal in later generations. This seal is used in various rituals and rituals of Zhengyidao in later generations, and is used to cover it on paper such as talismans that need to communicate with ghosts and gods.

With this seal and the Tianshi Sword handed down by Zhang Ling, Zhang was the Zhengyi Tianshi for generations, and together with the Kong family of Qufu, he became the only thousand-year-old family in China. Until General Caotou hurriedly led the 63rd generation of Tianshi to victory, so that he did not bring the Tianshi Sword and Tianshi Seal. The fireworks on the mainland were not prosperous and there was no male heir. Since then, the Tianshi Mansion announced that the position of Tianshi was stopped from being hereditary, which was just in line with the thousand-year-old folk song of Longhu Mountain, "It will never be destroyed, and there will be a break for the sixty-three generations." It also matched the number of Taoist eight-eight and sixty-four lines.

Hanzhong not only does not follow the Han system in its system, nor does it abide by the Han law in its law. If someone breaks the law, as long as he repents, he will have three chances of forgiveness. If he commits it again, as long as it is not a serious sin, he will only let him build a road and atone for his sins a hundred steps.

Because of the war in Guanzhong, a large number of refugees entered Hanzhong. Zhang Lu also built a charity house, putting rice and meat inside, so that the refugees who were hungry and thirsty would take it themselves, but they would punish and intimidate ghosts and gods for taking it more, and they would not send anyone to supervise it.

Therefore, the entire Hanzhong area is incompatible with other Han areas, and everyone praises each other for fellow Taoists, which is a wonder scene at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Such a **** regime also allowed Zhang Lu to avoid the original bureaucratic system and aristocratic family system and directly grasp the grassroots level, making Hanzhong's military and financial resources extremely high, with 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers alone, although most of these people were trainees who had not passed through the battle formation.

Of course, the aristocratic families in Hanzhong are also very aware of the current affairs. The Yang family and Shangyong Shen family both actively joined the Five Dogs of Rice Sect.

After all, it's aristocratic family~

He can deal with people ~

——Hanzhong Nanzheng Junshi Mansion

"Xu Shu? Has Xu Shu been to our Hanzhong?"

Looking at Cao Cao's letter, Zhang Lu looked at Yan Pu and Yang Song sitting below with a confused look on his face.

These two people can be regarded as Zhang Lu's left and right hands.

Yan Pu is from Ba County and is a poor family. Although he came into contact with Zhengyidao very early, he still studied according to the family tradition and officially joined Zhang Lu after Zhang Lu entered Hanzhong. He made a lot of efforts to Zhang Lu to win Hanzhong. Later, he was appointed as Gongcao and was still a think tank.

Yang Song was the head of the Yang family in Hanzhong. Zhang Luneng eliminated Zhang Xiu and quickly stabilized Hanzhong. He made many contributions to it, and thus gained Zhang Lu's great trust.
