Zhang Lu surrendered to the city, and a few days later, Wen Zhao also led his troops into Nanzheng.

After he learned the news of the destruction of the Yang family, he immediately cried loudly, and then ordered the Yang brothers to be buried thickly, and posthumously sealed some of their official positions.

After so many years of growth, Wen Zhao has long been familiar with acting on the spot. Even though he single-handedly led the Yang family's extermination, he still showed a heartbroken appearance on the surface.

Zhang Lu took the initiative to surrender to Wen Zhao, making it effortless for Wen Zhao to seize the whole of Hanzhong. Wen Zhao thanked Zhang Lu for his merits, and asked Zhang Lu to be named the general of Zhennan, the Marquis of Langzhong, and the ten thousand households in the food town.

Even Zhang Lu's sons have their own rewards.

Wen Zhao's reward for Zhang Lu is not insignificant, even the most important generals in the pass have never received such preferential treatment.

He rewarded Zhang Lu in this way, but there were several factors.

First, Zhang Lu is the leader of the Wudoumi Sect, and millions of people in Hanzhong are grateful to Zhang Lu, and many are even believers in the Wudoumi Sect.

Treat Zhang Lu well, Wen Zhao can easily make the people of Hanzhong return to their hearts, and those soldiers and ministers in Hanzhong will no longer have different hearts.

Second, for the development of Taoist ideas in China, Wen Zhao felt that Zhang Lu was a very good candidate, and wanted to dig him to Taixue to teach. Since you want to reuse Zhang Lu, you naturally have to treat him well.

Third, this is also a model of buying horse bones.

Wen Zhao will inevitably fight with other princes in the future, and today Zhang Lu surrendered but was reused and rewarded, and others will remember Zhang Lu's deeds in the future, and under certain circumstances, they are likely to surrender without a fight.

Fourth, the extermination of the Yang family this time was completely Zhang Lu's back for Wen Zhao. Wen Zhao has always had clear grievances, so naturally he will not use Zhang Lu in vain.

For Wen Zhao, what he was rewarded for was just some false positions, but he got a lot of benefits. After Zhang Lu received these rewards, his uneasy heart finally relaxed.

Not only that, he knew that Wen Zhao valued Yan Pu very much, but took the initiative to persuade Yan Pu to surrender to Chen Xu.

The lords of their own family had already surrendered, and Yan Pu was not a person who couldn't see the situation clearly, so he naturally followed behind and surrendered, which couldn't help but make Wen Zhao overjoyed.

Hanzhong was established, Wen Zhao immediately summoned his subordinates and said: "Now that Liu Zhang and Liu Biao have not withdrawn from the army, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Jia Xu chuckled twice and said: "If you want to make these two people retreat, it is easy to hear, the lord only needs to write two letters to explain the current situation in Hanzhong, I expect that these two people will not dare to continue to attack Hanzhong." ”

"If they are still unwilling to retreat, it will not be difficult to defeat the two of them with the army of 100,000 tigers brought by the lord."

Chen Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Wen He and my intentions coincide, this time we were able to capture Hanzhong without blood, thanks to Wen He's plan, the first merit of this battle belongs to you." ”

Subsequently, Wen Zhao once again rewarded Jia Xu. Jia Xu's status in Guanzhong is unique for a while.

Sure enough, Liu Zhang and Liu Biao learned that Wen Zhao had seized the land of Hanzhong, and before they received Chen Xu's letter, they had already begun to discuss the withdrawal of the army.

After Wen Zhao's letter arrived, the two naturally did not dare to slack off, and Keri led the troops back.

Of course, at this time, Liu Zhang's heart was very worried, Wen Zhao would put the next target on Yizhou, and after returning to Chengdu, he would summon Wenwu to come to discuss the matter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't think that Chen Wenzhao would capture Yangping Pass so quickly, and that Zhang Lu would also give up the entire Hanzhong. Chen Wenzhao is ambitious and strong, if he has the heart to seize Yizhou, what should he do? ”

Yizhou civil and military people were all panicked, they had only heard of Chen Xu's prestige before, and they had reached the strength of the Guanzhong soldiers, but they had not directly contacted the powerful Guanzhong soldiers.

Now that Zhang Lu, who had repeatedly defeated the Yizhou army, actually surrendered the city, everyone suddenly felt a huge pressure.

Liu Zhang saw that everyone was speechless, and his face immediately became a little ugly.

At this moment, I saw Zhang Song step forward and say: "Lord, although Chen Wenzhao is powerful, he has always respected the Son of Heaven and is loyal to the Han family. ”

"The lord is a member of the Han clan, and Chen Wenzhao may not risk the disapproval of the world and send troops to attack Yizhou. Wouldn't that damage his reputation? ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, his face looked much better.

Huang Quan retorted: "Ziqiao's words are wrong, Chen Wenzhao was originally a remnant of the Yellow Turban, because he took refuge in Dong Thief, he was able to accept the imperial court's recruitment, and he fought in the south and north over the years, and laid down the territory of Nuo. ”

"Now that Hanzhong has been occupied by him, how can he let go of Yizhou, the country of abundance?"

Then, Huang Quan said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, Chen Wenzhao is a jackal and a beast, so you must guard against it." ”

Zhang Song said: "I am arguing here, but it is not of much benefit. If the lord wants to understand Chen Wenzhao's thoughts, he might as well send an envoy to Hanzhong to test Chen Wenzhao's attitude, and then he will see the difference. ”

Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Who can take on this important responsibility?" ”

Zhang Song hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Although a certain is not talented, he is also willing to worry about the Lord." ”

Liu Zhang immediately said: "If Zi Qiao is willing to send an envoy to Hanzhong, he will definitely be able to test Chen Wenzhao's reality and reality!" ”

Although he felt that Zhang Song was too ugly and disliked it in his heart, he also knew that Zhang Song was a very talented person.

Now Yizhou civil and military are afraid of the Guanzhong army like a tiger, but only Zhang Song still talks eloquently and takes the initiative to share Liu Zhang's worries, which can't help but make Liu Zhang's sense of Zhang Song change greatly.

Liu Zhang then sent Zhang Song to go north to Hanzhong with a large amount of grain, grass and money, and came to test Wen Zhao's truth in the name of congratulating Chen Xu on his extermination of Zhang Lu.

However, it was said that after Wen Zhao asked Zhang Lu to remove the title of King of Hanning and occupy the entire Hanzhong, he began to rectify the internal affairs of Hanzhong. The 100,000 elites who were brought into Hanzhong by Wen Zhao were also scattered by him and guarded the dangerous passes in various places.

On this day, a scout suddenly came to report, saying that Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang sent Yizhou to drive Zhang Song to congratulate Chen Xu on his extermination of the rebel king Zhang Lu, and specially led the money, grain, gold and silk to reward the three armies.

When Chen Xu learned the news, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "If I seize Yizhou one day, this person will definitely be able to become an internal leader!" ”

After that, Wen Zhao personally led back to Xiawu, and went out of the city thirty miles to meet Zhang Song.

As a traverser, nature has a great advantage. Even if this advantage will slowly weaken with the passage of time and the change of history, it will still be of great help to Wen Zhao.

He knew that Zhang Song was originally dissatisfied with Liu Zhang, and he was bent on finding a master in Yizhou.

Historically, he originally wanted to dedicate the map of Yizhou to Cao Cao, but because Cao Cao disliked his ugly appearance and sharp teeth, he had a grudge against Cao Cao.

On the contrary, Liu Bei respected Zhang Song, which made Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, and Meng Da become Liu Bei's internal response to Yizhou in the future.

Wen Zhao didn't want to repeat Cao Cao's mistakes, so he personally went out to greet Guo.
