"Ahh Little Zhou Zhou! Zhang Lu saw it and beckoned to him.

"Master, I'm over forty years old this year...... Can you not call me 'Little Zhou Zhou'? The scribe sighed, "And my current name is Yan Pu, a Brazilian Anhan!" ”

"I know, Xiao Zhouzhou, there are no outsiders here." Zhang Lu said with a smile.

"Did I worship the wrong teacher at that time?" Yan Pu looked at Zhang Wei.

"Do you only understand that now?" Zhang Wei complained, "My eldest sister is not very reliable......"

There is talent, whether it is Taoist knowledge or Confucian knowledge. There is no doubt about the ability to govern and secure the people. At the same time, it is rare that she also has a natural leadership temperament, which can make people want to follow. The disadvantage is that you lack a tendon, go your own way, and then you will get rid of things if you are not careful.

I think that when I was not a heavenly master, I traveled the world with my two younger sisters and watched the people live a difficult life, so I used talismans everywhere to treat diseases...... Then he came back to his senses, and he was already the villain who commanded the 36th Road Qu Shuai and was ready to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty......

In the end, I began to panic, after all, rebellion is going to lose your head.

"Let's not talk about it...... Yan Pu also knew that there was no point in continuing to worry about this issue, "Lord Taishou, the spring ploughing has been completed, and I plan to take a break from the water conservancy while the farm is temporarily slack...... Mobilize and sign documents, these are all up to you! ”

"I know!" Zhang Lu pointed to the tea and refreshments on the coffee table, "It's over when the afternoon tea is over, Xiao Zhouzhou, why don't you come and have a drink?!" ”

"I have to deal with other official documents, teacher, the situation in Hanzhong is not optimistic." Yan Pu sighed.

"Huh?" Zhang Lu was a little surprised, "But this year's rain and weather are good!" No matter how you look at it, it's a good harvest year! ”

"I'm not talking about this!" Yan Pu immediately replied, "The latest news, the imperial court has taken Yecheng down, and Yuan Shao has fallen. Bingzhou has announced its surrender, and only Youzhou is still resisting. Jingzhou and Liangzhou also expressed their submission, and where the imperial court has not yet controlled, only our Yizhou remains! ”

"That's what should be Liu Zhang's headache." Zhang Lu replied casually, took a sip of black tea, and then realized a possibility, "Could it be that if the imperial court wants to attack Yizhou, it must first attack our Hanzhong?" ”

"Isn't that obvious?" Zhang Wei was a little helpless, "If they don't fight Hanzhong, how can they enter Bashu?!" ”

"What to do, what to do, what to do......" Zhang Lu immediately panicked.

"There is not much problem in terms of defense, with Nanshan (Qinling), Wudang Mountain and Jingshan as barriers, as long as a few key passes are closed, it is not easy for the other party to kill in. But with the land of one county, and the land of several states of the imperial court, defeat is only a matter of time. Yan Pu thought for a moment and replied.

Yongliang Prefecture can enter Hanzhong County, mainly by two roads: Slope Valley and Meridian Valley. Of course, from Xiangyang, you can also go over Jingshan Mountain and go to Fangling, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, and there are Ban Yu who are active in that area, so it is not easy to come over.

In other words, as long as the valley and meridian valley are guarded, then Hanzhong is almost stable. In the past, during Dong Zhuo's period, he also attacked Yizhou, but he was also blocked by these two passes, and he was not allowed to advance an inch, so he finally gave up this plan.

"Can't stop it?" Zhang Lu was a little flustered.

"You can't stop it, right?" Zhang Wei complained, and then looked at Yan Pu, "However, the imperial court has continuously used troops against Jizhou and Yangzhou, so it should no longer be able to attack Hanzhong, right?" ”

"However, it is only a matter of time, we should plan for it early!" Yan Pu reminded, "At this stage, what I am most worried about is that the imperial court will find out our original identity. ”

"Going to be killed, going to be killed!" Zhang Lu moved back and forth in a panic.

"Got it, so don't panic yet, sit down for me first!" Zhang Wei suddenly made a move and pressed Zhang Lu down. The enemy hasn't come yet, what's the use of panicking now.

"This probability is not high...... Yan Pu also felt that Zhang Lu was a little worried, "Master and the two senior uncles both appeared as masked at that time, and at the same time, they did not face to face with the generals of the crusading army of the imperial court, so the probability of being discovered is not high." ”

"The biggest problem is still ...... on your side" Zhang Wei looked at Yan Pu.

"I denounced the Taiping Sect, and the court has forgiven my sins. Even if my identity is discovered, as long as I don't admit it, then naturally I won't implicate Master and Uncle. Yan Pu replied. Having said that, it took a full three years from denunciation to pardon, and it was not until the death of Emperor Ling that he was released, and this process changed ordinary people, and it was definitely better to live than to die.

At this moment, a man in his forties walked in, saw the three of them, and hurriedly walked over.

"All here?" The man smiled and came to Zhang Lu's side.

"Husband, would you like a cup of tea?" Zhang Lu pointed to the coffee table.

"I've already drunk afternoon tea, and I'm looking for ......you," the man looked at Zhang Lu, "There is a gathering of scholars in Hanzhong tonight, I'm afraid I want you to participate with me." ”

"Huh? Again to party? Zhang Lu was a little reluctant, but he refused because of his bad feelings.

"In order to make your position in Hanzhong more secure, such a gathering has to be attended." The man said slowly, although his tone was relatively gentle, but his unquestioning attitude was clear.

"Okay then......" Zhang Lu had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Master Yang, the problem of money and food in the army ......" Yan Pu looked at the man.

"I'm following up and starting to plant high-yielding crops this year, and it's a bit more cumbersome than usual given the maturity and pricing issues." The man waved his hand and walked away.

"This guy, relying on the face of the eldest sister, is becoming more and more arrogant......" Watching the man leave, Zhang Wei complained.

"But if he hadn't come forward at the beginning, I'm afraid that the three of us wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in Hanzhong. The Yang family in Hanzhong is also a benefactor to our Zhang family. Zhang Lu replied helplessly, so for the sake of unity, or gratitude, she married Yang Song, the eldest son of the Yang family, that is, the man just now.

"I just think that if you continue, it's not a way to ......" Yan Pu said halfway, considering Zhang Lu's face, it was difficult to continue. Judging from recent investigations, Yang Song repeatedly resold the grain in the army and replaced the old grain with the new grain.

All the money earned is subsidized to the Yang family, a typical type where the family is greater than everything, and at the same time, it is also a madman who helps his sister, and gives everything good to his sister Yang Bai. Yang Ren and Yang Ang, brothers of the same clan, could not get his support.

"Marriage is ......" Zhang Lu sighed, "Isn't that it?" Actually, I envy you and my second sister. ”

"Eldest sister, when are you ......" Zhang Wei was a little unnatural, how did her relationship with Yan Pu be discovered by the eldest sister?!
