Even though his head had been chopped off by Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei for more than a quarter of an hour, the look of extreme shock and disbelief on his face still hadn't faded.
"Brother, now Dong Zhuo is sharpening his sword and wants to invade Yizhou. We, Hanzhong, will be the first to bear the brunt.
Liu Yan sent Zhang Xiu to come with his brother, which was intended to check and balance each other.
Now, if Zhang Xiu was killed like this, wouldn't Liu Yan be so angry that he would jump up?
There is a strong enemy ahead of us.
Now, this move will definitely offend Liu Yan, and even turn against Liu Yan.
Under the current circumstances, Liu Yan does not need to send troops to attack us, he only needs to sit back and watch, and we will still encounter disaster."
One day later, the situation in Nanzheng was completely stable.
Zhang Lu, who used drastic measures and suddenly launched an attack, not only controlled most of the official power in Hanzhong.
Even Zhang Xiu's subordinates were taken under control.
Zhang Wei looked at his brother beside him and said this.
He seemed a little worried.
"Haha, Sir, you don't have to worry so much. In my humble opinion, it's exactly like this that Liu Yan doesn't dare to embarrass Prefect Zhang!
Why did Liu Yan send Governor Zhang here and ask him to kill Su Gu?
Didn't he just want Taishou Zhang to confuse the situation and let Taishou Zhang serve as Liu Yan's barrier here in Hanzhong?
Used as a buffer between Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo.
Now Dong Zhuo's army is likely to attack Yizhou at any time, and the general leading the army is a famous general like Liu Cheng.
Under such circumstances, Liu Yan would never do anything unwise.
On the contrary, they will also vigorously support Prefect Zhang...
Otherwise, if Governor Zhang is defeated or surrendered, it will be Liu Yan who will suffer the most!"
The person who spoke had a face that looked very honest and honest.
He is not old, he looks like he is in his early twenties, but he speaks and acts very maturely.
This man, whose surname is Yang and Song, is a native of Hanzhong.
The Yang family is a famous family in Hanzhong, and can be said to be the largest family in Hanzhong.
Yang Song is also a leader in the Yang family.
He is good at strategizing and is very talented in business. He is particularly smart.
As one of the most famous families in Hanzhong, there were naturally some conflicts between the Yang family and Su Gu, the former prefect of Hanzhong.
It can be said that Zhang Lu was able to kill Su Gu so decisively and stabilize the situation in Nanzheng and the entire Hanzhong so quickly.
The aristocratic families headed by the Yang family contributed a lot behind the scenes.
The Yang family welcomes Zhang Lu to come to Hanzhong.
Liu Yan was a member of the Han clan, and his background and vision were higher than those of Zhang Lu.
Moreover, Liu Yan had previously shown some unfriendliness towards the powerful local gentry in Yizhou in Mianzhu.
Under such circumstances, they naturally did not want someone like Liu Yan to lead Hanzhong.
It was at this time that Zhang Lu appeared.
Zhang Lu is an ambitious person.
The victory is that there is no foundation.
There is nothing else to rely on.
If you want to gain a foothold in Hanzhong, you must rely on them.
They had some interactions with Zhang Lu before and knew that he was a relatively easy person to get along with.
They would welcome such a person as the governor of Hanzhong.
So, just like that, Zhang Lu became the master of Hanzhong.
Zhang Lu's position is still that of captain.
The title of Governor Zhang is the honorific title given to him by Yang Song.
But under current circumstances, if Yang Song calls him this, then he, the prefect of Hanzhong, has not escaped!
Zhang Lu smiled and nodded after listening to Yang Song's words.
Zhang Wei also looked surprised.
Then he bowed his hands to Yang Song to show that he had been taught.
"Master Yang, what do you think should happen next?"
Zhang Lu looked at Yang Song and said with a smile.
This can be regarded as sharing the benefits. You are good, I am good, and everyone is good.
Yang Song said with a smile: "I personally think that the prefect should send someone south at this time to report to Liu Yan, the governor of the state, that Su Gu has been killed. Zhang Xiu, a man with ulterior motives, flirted with Su Gu, and was also killed.
The prefect beheaded him.
Now that Dong Zhuo is facing a formidable enemy, Hanzhong is the first to bear the brunt, and the situation is urgent.
Hanzhong cannot live without a prefect in charge of the overall situation.
Ask Liu Yizhou to be the governor of Hanzhong."
Zhang Lu couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Your Majesty, this is my opinion!"
After that, he pointed to the north and said, "What about Dong Zhuo's place?"
Yang Song smiled and said: "There are three important places in Hanzhong, one is Nanzheng Pass, one is Yangping Pass, and the other is Yinping Qiaotou.
Nanzheng Pass and Yangping Pass are both the gateways to Hanzhong.
But the victory is that it is dangerous enough and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Yinping Qiaotou is also easy to defend but difficult to attack.
As long as the Yinping Bridge is defended, there is no fear of Dong Zhuo's troops entering Hanzhong from the west.
With the Yinping Bridge guarded, it would be impossible for Dong Zhuo's troops to bypass Jiange or the rest of Hanzhong's heartland.
In addition to these three places, there are also important strategic locations.
This place is Dingjun Mountain!
Dingjun Mountain is in an excellent location, with a large depression on the south side of the mountain, capable of garrisoning tens of thousands of elite troops.
It is an excellent place to store food and troops.
And close to Nanzheng.
If we station troops there, we can become horns with Nanzheng, facing each other offensively and defensively.
As long as Dingjun Mountain is not lost, even if the enemy gets Hanzhong, it will not be stable..."
Yang Song is indeed a native of Hanzhong and is good at business.
I have a very good understanding of the mountainous and geographical situation of Hanzhong.
After saying a few words, I immediately analyzed some aspects of Hanzhong.
Even Zhang Lu had to accept it.
He smiled and said: "Master Yang's words suddenly enlightened me!
Zhang Lu heard that Mr. Yang's younger brother is good at arching and horsemanship, and has good martial arts skills. He himself served in the army. Now I make him a commander of another department and guard Nanzheng Pass. What does Mr. Yang think?"
Yang Song smiled and said: "I will definitely not disappoint the prefect!"
After Zhang Lu arranged the affairs of the guard at Nanzheng Pass, he turned his attention to his younger brother Zhang Wei.
"Dingjun Mountain is an important place..."
…
Here in Hanzhong, with the arrival of Zhang Lu, a series of big actions immediately took place.
Because he had the support of the powerful local nobles and the Five Pecks of Rice Cult, Zhang Lu's actions went smoothly.
Not only did they successfully take control of Hanzhong, they also quickly mobilized their troops and began to fortify Hanzhong...
…
Not to mention how Liu Yan acted in Shu, nor how Zhang Lu in Hanzhong mobilized troops and horses, sent his mother off, compromised, launched attacks, and gained authority.
Not to mention how the army gathered in Fufeng County and how the wooden oxen and horses were built.
Not to mention how Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, and Lu Bu all had their own agendas.
Just talking about Jingzhou, Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng were stationed in Changsha with Liu Biao’s nephew Liu Pan!
