In mid-May, Lü Bu led his army back to Chang'an.

Before leaving, he left Hua Xiong in Hanzhong, not because he didn't believe Zhang Lu, but because the generals under Zhang Lu were too weak in strength to even take out a person who could control the field.

In addition, Lu Bu also played a lot of secret chess in Hanzhong to prevent Zhang Lu from stealing and being arrogant.

As Xice said in the past, you must be suspicious when employing people, and you must also use suspicious people.

Zhao Song stayed in Hanzhong to recuperate, he was seriously injured that day, injured all the muscles and veins, and it was difficult to recover without five or six months of effort.

After Lu Bu let him get better, he came to Chang'an to pay his respects.

Zhang Lu took the officials of the county town and stood outside the city gate, watching Lu Bu go away.

Looking at the back that gradually disappeared from view, Zhang Lu's eyes were unprecedentedly solemn and cautious.

During this period, Zhang Lu once asked his mother to charm Lu Bu, but the result was naturally a dismal ending.

His mother is in her early forties this year, she is good at nourishment, she has a small appearance, she looks like she is only about thirty, and she has a kind of mature woman's charm all over her body, which is itchy and unbearable.

Even Liu Yan's old thing couldn't hold it, and he became his mother's guest in the scene, but he didn't expect to lose his hand here in Lu Bu.

In addition to the superficial rank of general, Zhang Lu is also the heavenly master of Wudoumi Taoism, calling himself Shijun. Those who come to learn the Tao are called "ghost pawns" at first, and they are believed by the Tao, and they are called "sacrificial wine", and all the leaders and subordinates; Those who lead a large number are "the head of the great sacrifice wine".

This branch of Taoism is quite influential in the Sichuan and Shu areas.

His mother also coerced the ghost road, and went back and forth to the house of Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou. Zhang Lu gained trust through his mother's relationship with Liu Yan and took up important positions.

Now that he is under the command of Lu Bu, he naturally has the intention of repeating his old tricks, and wants to trick Lu Bu into becoming a believer in Wudoumi Taoism, so as to be at his mercy.

As a result, miscalculated.

A few days after Lu Bu left with the army, Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, sent an envoy to come.

The envoy's name is Zhang Su, his appearance is magnificent, he is a son of the Zhang family of the Yizhou Dashi clan, and he is currently engaged in other driving.

He brought Liu Yan's letter, saying that Liu Yan not only did not blame him for killing Zhang Xiu, but also made him the county guard of Guanghan, and presented him to the imperial court as the general of Zhennan.

Before the change, Zhang Lu would definitely be happy to close his mouth.

However, now, he is not a fool, and he will not believe this kind of coaxing child.

There is no turning back when he opens the bow, even if he goes back and sits in the position of Guanghan County Guard, it is estimated that he will be charged by Liu Yan by all means and suppressed and imprisoned.

What kind of person Liu Yan is, Zhang Lu can no longer know it, he is a narrow-minded person and a complete hypocrite.

Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Lu was still very polite on his face, after all, there was no need to tear his face with Liu Yan. After parting ways, you take your sunny road, and I cross my single-plank bridge.

"Don't drive Zhang, I also miss Liu Yuanjun. However, now that he has been appointed by the imperial court to act as the county guard of Hanzhong, Lu does not dare to slack off in the slightest. In addition, I am entangled in official business, and I really can't get out of it, so please go back and tell Liu Yuanjun for me, and when Zhang finishes handling the affairs of the county, he will definitely go back and thank him in person. ”

Zhang Lu declined Zhang Su and did not accept the position of Guanghan County Guard.

Zhang Su suddenly became angry, he couldn't see a villain like Zhang Lu who relied on a woman to take the position, not to mention that the woman was still his mother.

He stood in place and said disdainfully: "General Zhang, don't you think that with Lu Bu as the backing, you can sit firmly in Hanzhong?" In fact, in his eyes, you are just a dog that can be discarded at any time, how can it be like Liu Yuanjun who is magnanimous and benevolent, and treats you well......"

"Treat me well?"

Zhang Lu's eyes were gloomy, and he laughed: "Then please go back and tell Liu Yan, I'm Zhang Lu......

I'd rather be a lackey of Wenhou than a high-ranking official for him! ”

"You!"

With such a straightforward answer, Zhang Su was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Lu with his finger, trembling so much that he couldn't speak.

"Someone, send off."

Zhang Lu shouted, and the soldiers outside the door immediately walked in and forcibly dragged Zhang Su out.

"Shaft! Child! A jackal who doesn't know how to repay his kindness! ”

Zhang Su, who was erected and dragged out, scolded loudly, and his voice gradually decreased as his body moved away.

…………

Yizhou, the state pastoral house.

The first thing Zhang Su did after he came back was to report Zhang Lu's various crimes to Liu Yan.

"Then Zhang Lu really said that?"

Liu Yan, dressed in a purple silk dress, sat in the high hall, with a hint of gloom on his usually kind face, obviously he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart at the moment.

Zhang Su nodded, and then said it again, and finally did not forget to add: "He said that he would rather be Lu Bu's dog than be a high-ranking official on your seat." ”

Bang!

The porcelain cup in Liu Yan's hand fell to the ground angrily, bursting into countless tiny porcelain pieces, and the water in the cup flowed all over the ground.

"Brute! Brute! ”

Liu Yan's aging face was flushed, and he was so angry that he couldn't help twitching even his body, and scolded in his mouth: "I was really blind at the beginning, even if I raised a dog, I still know how to obey the master!" Zhang Lu, you are not even as good as a dog! ”

Ahem...... cough cough cough ......

Seeing that Liu Yan was angry, the strategists and cronies in the hall persuaded one after another: "Lord, take care of your body!" Don't be angry for the sake of the villain. ”

Liu Yan heard this at this time, waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Send troops, send troops immediately, I will slaughter this beast with my own hands!" ”

As soon as these words came out, a person in the hall immediately stood up and shouted: "No, my lord, Yizhou has finally settled down, and you must not start a war lightly." What's more, Zhang Lu has absorbed the troops of Hanzhong, and now he has greatly increased his strength, and he is familiar with the various fortresses of Daba Mountain, and has sent heavy troops to defend it, and it is even more difficult to forcibly capture Hanzhong! ”

"Lord, Yang Gongcao is right, Lu Bu's move is to let you fight with Zhang Lu, he can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, please think twice!" Another man stood up and said.

"Others are afraid of him Lu Bu, but I'm not afraid!" Liu Yan's eyes showed a fierce look.

The strategists had no choice but to persuade again: "My lord, your three sons are now all officials in the imperial court. The backer behind Zhang Lu is Lu Bu again, if you take the liberty of attacking Hanzhong, in case you anger Lu Bu, he will do something crazy, and the lives of the three sons will be in danger! ”

At the mention of his son, Liu Yan's expression was stunned, after all, tiger poison does not eat children.

He returned to his seat and sat down, and after firing a fire, his face looked rather tired, and asked the people, "Then what do you say?" ”

After summing up the strategists, he gave a suggestion: "It's better to call the illness for the time being, and let the imperial court send the three sons to Yizhou, saying that they will see each other for the last time." Then secretly cultivate forces, expand the army, and capture Hanzhong can not be in a hurry, when slowly trying to do it. ”

Even if Liu Yan was unwilling to let Zhang Lu sit alone in Hanzhong, he could only endure it for the time being.
