Chapter 117 One word sells two
"Xu Shu was engaged in three states, and the world compared them to Su Qin and Zhang Yi. Such a person as Yizhou must be to join the states to fight against Hebei.
Although Jun Shi was in charge of Hanzhong, the governor of Yizhou was Liu Zhang after all, so I am afraid that Xu Shu had gone to Yizhou.
Cao Cao wrote this letter, titled "Ask Xu Shu", and I'm afraid it was actually a secret threat. If the king's army did not agree and Liu Zhang came to the alliance, then the three states of Yan, Xu and Jing would support Liu Zhang.
At that time, Master Jun will be in danger!" Yan Pu did not believe that the three states would be engaged in the three states and would disappear halfway through the journey with hundreds of people. He felt that this was Cao Cao's plan.
"Zimao, according to your opinion, should I join forces with Cao Cao?"
"I can be independent of the world in Hanzhong, not by relying on the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, but by the general trend of chaos in the world.
Now that Hebei is united and chaos is over, the king and his master really need to consider the future.”
Zhang Lu thought for a while and asked, "I heard that Zuo Ci, Gan Shi is all in Ma Ziyu's place. Do you think Ma Ziyu can tolerate our five-dou rice path?"
Zhang Lu was probably the most special prince at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Other princes either wanted to support the Han Dynasty, or wanted to separatist the country, or wanted to become independent on behalf of the Han Dynasty. He was not the case. What he thought was how to make the righteous spread throughout the world.
Zhang Lu had a famous saying in later generations, saying that he would rather be a slave to Cao Gong than to be a guest of Liu Bei.
Many people in later generations did not understand why Zhang Lu hated Liu Bei so much, and some people also speculated that it was Zhang Lu pleasing Cao Cao. In fact, Zhang Lu understood that Liu Bei could not give him what he wanted.
What Zhang Lu wanted was Zhengyidao to spread throughout the world. Even if Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, he still only occupied Yizhou. Zhengyidao worked in Bashu for three generations, and what he needed was to leave Yizhou. Therefore, if Zhang Lu wanted Zhengyidao to continue to develop, he could only surrender to Cao Cao in exchange for Cao Cao tolerate Zhengyidao preaching in the north.
It was indeed true later. Zhengyidao soon spread in Xudu and Yecheng. When the Jin Dynasty, even the Wang family of Langya and the Lu family of Fanyang believed in the Five Dogs of Rice Sect. Even Lu Xun, the seventh-generation grandson of Lu Zhi, launched a rebellion with the Five Dogs of Rice Taoists as the core, swept seventeen counties and almost captured Shitou City. This is a later story.
"I heard that Ma Ziyu had a female disciple named Zhang Ning, who is actually Zhang Jiao's daughter. I don't know if it is true." Zhang Wei said with a smile, "But how old is Zhang Ning when he was captured by Guangzong? Ma Ziyu can play."
"But there seems to be no sign of Taiping Dao spread in Hebei. Even the Huang Lao Dao of Ganshi did not improve much in Hebei." Zhang Lu's other younger brother Zhang Xuan said in confusion.
"Look at it, no matter whether the Junshi wants to surrender to the horse in the future, the alliance should participate in this alliance!" Yang Song, who was so fat that he had three chins, said with a smile, "The Junshi now surrenders to Hebei. He will definitely despise the Junshi. It is better to join the alliance first. If the alliance wins a great victory, it is necessary to say that if the two sides stalemate, the Junshi can use this to gain a high position in Hebei. If the alliance is defeated, Ma Ziyu will also deal with the princes of the Central Plains first, and then the Junshi can also be more effective in Hanzhong.
Moreover, the decisive battle between the alliance and Hebei may not have a result without a few years. Master Jun can also use this time to make the princes of the Central Plains agree to us to preach in the Central Plains, and no one will suffer any loss, right?
Moreover, the place of the alliance is Pei County, which is similar to Junshi’s ancestral home Fengxian. Junshi can take this opportunity to worship in his ancestral home to inform his ancestors of Junshi’s great achievements now!”
"Mr. Yang's words are reasonable~" Zhang Lu nodded and smiled.
It is actually really simple. As long as it can spread the positive path, it will do anything.
Moreover, the Zhang Lu family claimed to be the descendant of Zhang Liang's former branch, but there was no evidence. Zhang Liang's direct descendant, Zhang Wei County, did not recognize that Zhang Lu was the descendant of Zhang Liang. Therefore, it would be great if he could take this opportunity to worship his ancestors in Fengxian County and confirm his identity in front of the princes of the Central Plains.
Immediately, Zhang Lu asked Yang Song to send him a letter and quickly to Yanzhou. He asked his third brother Zhang Xuan to replace him, and took gold, silver and wealth and soldiers to Pei County to meet the alliance, and also went to Feng County to worship his ancestors.
When Yang Song returned to the mansion, he was already waiting in the mansion.
"Duke Yang, I wonder if County Governor Zhang is willing to form an alliance?"
"Oh~~" Yang Song sighed with a weak look on his face, "This matter almost made me drool.
You also know that the governor of Zhang County is the leader of the Taoist sect of Wu Dou Mi. Cao Yanzhou used to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but he killed many Taiping Taoists. Many people in the Taoist sect were afraid that Cao Yanzhou would kill the donkey in the future!
It’s still me, you Cao Yanzhou is a trustworthy person in the hall and will never do this. Only then did my lord willingly send his brother Zhang Xuan to Pei County to join the alliance and worship the ancestral tomb.
Wait a little longer, the county magistrate will ask you to explain this matter tomorrow.”
"Thank you, Mr. Yang! This is some of Cao's careful thoughts, please accept it~" The man said and clapped his hands. Several people came in with boxes. When they opened it, it was full of gold, silver and jade.
"Oh, what are you doing, I...I'm not for this!"
"I understand that Mr. Yang must have a lot of care for this matter. He can't let Mr. Yang spend his own money to do things for Mr. Cao. If the news spreads, wouldn't it be a misunderstanding Mr. Yang!"
Yang Song said ah, "What you said makes sense, for nothing, you can't misunderstand what shameful things are there between me and Mr. Cao, right?
Then let it go."
As he said that, Yang Song sat in his seat and started drinking tea.
The man immediately stood up and said, "Then I will say goodbye."
After the man left, Yang Song called the butler, gave a few instructions, and then another person walked in.
"Duke Yang, I wonder if County Governor Zhang is willing to form an alliance with Cao Cao?"
"Haha, why did you Yizhou care about this matter so much?"
"Don't hide it from Duke Yang, otherwise the county magistrate Zhang will join forces with Hebei and Yizhou will be in danger! If the county magistrate Zhang forms an alliance, Yizhou will be stable!"
Yang Song smiled and said again to the envoy Cao Cao just now. The secret envoy of Yizhou naturally thanked him so much that he left several boxes of property.
"Oh, it's a pity that there are no people from Hebei. Otherwise, I would have sold this sentence three times!
Forget it, if you don’t come, can’t I come?"
Yang Song was sighing and walked in alone.
"Brother!"
"Brother Bai is here. I have something to tell you. Come and listen."
The person who came was Yang Bo, who was Yang Song's younger brother.
Yang Song whispered a few words to Yang Bai. Yang Bai was shocked and said, "Brother... this... there is a clean place."
"I know!" Yang Song waved his hand and said, "This matter is related to the future of our Yang family. Don't say too much! Don't leave any way out. When the matter comes, let alone the fields, the whole clan will sink into the Han River!"
After hearing this, Yang Bai had no choice but to respond and immediately stood up and left.
"Come!" Yang Song shouted again, "Go and call Yang Ang!"
Later generations read the Three Kingdoms and found that the generals in Hanzhong either had the surname Zhang or Yang.
These Yang family generals are actually Yang Song's tribe members.
It can even be said that Hanzhong was actually governed by Zhang Lu and Yang Song, but the Yang family knew the way of aristocratic families, and only served as ministers, not as princes.
Yang Ang came over in martial arts clothes, Yang Song said secretly to him, and Yang Ang said happily, "Don't worry, head of the family, as long as he, Liu Zhang, dares to come, I will definitely kill him without leaving any armor!"
Yang Song smiled and asked Yang Ang to leave, then sat down and looked at the property account book sent by the housekeeper.
