host country

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Zhang Lu didn't speak for a while, and then he was secretly ecstatic, and became more confident.

He turned his head and said to Yu Xian, "There is one more thing, Zhang Xiu wants to explain to the national teacher about offering wine in public."

Yu Xian frowned slightly.

Confess in public, that is, exempt from responsibility in public, this guy doesn't know what pitfalls he left for himself.

Yu Xian tried his best to calm down and said, "Please tell me."

Zhang Xiu said slowly, "After defeating Nanzheng, I received a secret order from the head teacher to burn down the plank road and block the roads in the Qinling Mountains. Therefore, I had to divide the troops and let Pu Hu, Du Wei, Yuan Yue and others Let's divide the counties. It's fine elsewhere, but Fangling and Shangyong counties are far away. My soldiers and horses only control the periphery of these two counties, and there are still many rebels resisting everywhere..."

Before Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he was hurriedly interrupted by Zhang Wei, who patrolled the city and sacrificed wine, "Huh? You mean Shangyong hasn't been completely controlled yet?"

Zhang Xiu glanced at Zhang Wei and said slowly, "Not bad."

Yu Xian and Guo Jia looked at each other, their hearts sank.

Now the trouble is big.

The Hanzhong Plain is a large piece of land surrounded by the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains, with the vast Qinling Mountains in the north and the dangerous Daba Mountains in the south.

Where these two natural barriers close, the Yangping Pass, Jiameng Pass, Jiange and other passes are on the west side of the Shuchang Road, and the opening on the east side is blocked by Taihe Mountain.

This Taihe Mountain is the famous Wudang Mountain in later generations.

There is a long and narrow plain between Taihe Mountain and Daba Mountain, on which Shangyong and Fangling counties are distributed.

These two counties are far away from the core area of ​​the Hanzhong Plain, and they can go straight to Guanzhong through Wuguan to the north; they follow the Han River to the east, threatening Xiangyang and the Nanyang Plain on the one hand.

As for the south, it is even more lively.

To the south is Wushan, the old nest of the first witch clan, Zhang Lu's uncle's house.In Wushan, there are not only the intricate Wugui sect forces, but also the Wushan goddess who likes to sneak out to sleep with her little brother.

Fangling County is actually located further east than Shangyong County, but its importance is far less.

For one thing, Shangyong County guards the inner entrance of the Hanzhong Plain, allowing Fangling County to be replaced.Second, the entire Hanzhong Plain does not produce salt, but Shangyong County can obtain a small amount of salt through smuggling.

Therefore, once Shangyong is unstable, the closed Hanzhong Plain will face the risk of collapse at any time.

Yu Xian couldn't help looking at Zhang Lu in the hall.

Zhang Lu didn't respond at all, and was still resting with his eyes closed.

Yu Xian also knew the dilemma of the head teacher at this time, so he stopped talking nonsense immediately and asked Zhang Xiu, "What else?"

Zhang Xiu tried a little, but immediately restrained his edge.

There was a trace of kindness on his face, "No more. The head teacher asked me to wait for the three to cooperate well, so Zhang Xiu naturally obeyed. Before the national teacher takes over the mess of Shangyong and Fangling, I will definitely try my best to stabilize there. The situation. After that, I have to trouble the national teacher."

After listening, Yu Xian understood Zhang Xiu's subtext.

Before he officially took over the government affairs of the counties, Zhang Xiu would not come to cause trouble, but after Zhang Xiu withdrew his troops and returned to Dingjun Mountain, if there was any mistake, it would be Yu Xian's responsibility.

Now the most important thing for Heming Taoist Palace is to make full preparations to cut down the mountain and destroy the temple. Naturally, Yu Xian can't hold back at this time.

He immediately pretended to be cowardly, "It's a small matter."

Yu Xian's pretense made Guo Jia, who knew his wild ways, not calm down.

The matter of "changing customs and customs, turning ghosts into Tao" involves whether Guo Jia can escape the robbery smoothly, so he can't help but be indifferent.

This teammate is so unreliable, this is a scam!

At this time, Zhang Lu, who was pretending to be asleep, woke up again and said, "After the banquet, you will stay in charge of the Hanzhong prefect's mansion and accept the visits of the original civil and military officials. I will let Gongcao offer wine to Yanpu and patrol the city to offer wine. Zhang Wei will help you, so please do it yourself."

Yu Xian was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although Yan Pu looks leisurely and lazy, he actually has a good political talent.With his help to sit in the town, I can take Guo Juluo, a big killer, to do things.

After talking about this matter, the next step is some arrangements for Heming Taoist Palace.

Among the ghost kings of the ten lands, there are a few who have some insight, Zhang Lu plans to send someone to find out their advantages and disadvantages.There are also a few more stubborn ghost kings who also need to assign manpower to destroy the mountain gate.

As for Zhang Lu's uncle's family, the head of the witch clan, we will wait and see how they respond.Regarding what Guiji Wuyan should do, everyone tacitly did not mention it.

After the banquet, Zhang Lu retreated to the back hall after drinking two glasses of water and wine.

Yu Xian didn't care about greeting others, and hurriedly got up to ask Zhang Lu to see him.

Not long after the servant boy left, he came out and led Yu Xian straight into the back hall.

This time Yu Xian asked to see Zhang Lu, mainly to inquire about "Luoshu".As for the Buddha Tribulation and the Evil Goddess Ba, it is impossible for Yu Xian to completely conceal it.

Originally, Yu Xian planned to go to his master Chongxuanzi to talk to him first, but now that Yu Xian is going to host Hanzhong, he has no chance.

Moreover, Heming Daoist Palace is going to declare war on the Wugui sect in Central Sichuan, which may alarm the legendary Wu Qing who is recovering from his injuries.This Great Elder of the Wugui Sect is a giant who has broken wrists with Zhang Daoling.

The existence of the female demon will actually deter Wu Qing.

At the beginning, it was this old guy who had the guts to train the emperor's daughter to be a slave ghost, so he was beaten and seriously injured and fled. He also took the two sons and one daughter who were killed, and he could not survive.

As for Zhang Lu's attitude towards him after knowing this...

——Should choose to forgive.

Yu Xian was thinking wildly, and saw Zhang Zhang who was meditating with his eyes closed.

Zhang Lu opened his eyes and smiled, and said, "Here we come."

He pointed to the futon in front of him, "Sit down."

Perhaps it was an illusion, Yu Xian felt that Zhang Zhang in front of him seemed to be indescribably tired.

When Yu Xian sat down, Zhang Lu first asked, "Why didn't Qing Qingzi come back?"

This problem was expected by Yu Xian.

Zhang Lu wants to launch a religious war now, of course he must first look at his number one fighter.

Only when people are around can they feel at ease.

Yu Xian said hastily, "Uncle Qing Qingzi took his disciples to Luoyang in order to find out the clues of the Buddhist catastrophe. Later, the disciple had a fight with two Hu monks in order to contact Ruo Rong, who was supposed to be calamity, and then separated. "

"That's it." Zhang Lu frowned slightly.

Then Zhang Lu asked again, "Which Monk Hu are you talking about?"

Yu Xian replied, "I heard that one of these two men is An Shigao and the other is Zhilou Jiachen. These two Hu monks have extraordinary abilities and should not be underestimated. Even Ruo Rong, who should be robbed, has strange methods and cannot be guarded against." .”

Yu Xian caused this incident on purpose, of course, to seek a way from Zhang Lu to break the forced degree.

Otherwise, next time you meet Ruo Rong, you will have to become a Buddha immediately.

Zhang Lu's mind was quite calm, he chuckled, "Isn't there anything you can do with your ingenuity? Let's see."
