Things in Chang'an are entangled, and as long as the troops and horses don't arrive, there may be no end to them.
Yi Xiaotian was quite concerned about this, but the situation in Hanzhong, after losing Zhang Lu, the Heavenly Master, did not seem to be as smooth as imagined.
——
I don’t know how long ago, Hanzhong fell into a state of chaos.
Ultimately, the reason is that Zhang Lu's death allowed several groups of people in the city that were previously suppressed to finally reveal their greedy nature.
Regardless of the people, the treasure house left by Zhang Lu in Nanzheng City definitely contains treasures that no one in the world can easily ignore.
Zhang Lu occupied the land of Hanzhong and plundered things from the people that he had accumulated over many years.
It can be said that after having these treasures, you will have no worries for the rest of your life? No, it would be too childish to have no worries for the rest of your life. The wealth that Zhang Lu accumulated could almost enable a clan to rise from the ground and become one of the most powerful people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, comparable to many in Jiangdong, Hebei.
The existence of a distinguished family.
Starting from scratch, spanning a hundred years of other family's historical development, and having such wealth that can lead generations of children and grandchildren without worries, anyone with a little bit of brains has already started to quietly take action.
so…
Really compared to the entire world, which is still not yet unified, the one that has truly descended into hell is Hanzhong, which lives in the west.
——
Yang Bai did not die because the previous battle in Chang'an was too tragic and chaotic. More than 100,000 people died under the city of Chang'an. It is extremely difficult to discover the true identity of a certain corpse.
Reports in Chang'an City said that Zhang Lu's generals were all killed. In fact, when Ma Chao mobilized so many Xiliang cavalry to liquidate the battle damage, he did not actually find the bodies of Zhang Lu's men.
In fact, Yang Ang, Zhang Ren and others were killed on the spot by Ma Teng and Ma Tie when they met with the Xiliang cavalry. However, only that one was complaining about missing out because he did not get the opportunity to lead the main force to attack the city.
When Yang Bai was enjoying great military exploits, after seeing his opponent crushing the front army, he tossed his armor and disappeared into the deserters——
He had gone through all kinds of difficulties before escaping from the meat grinder of Chang'an. Now that he had returned to Hanzhong, he was naturally qualified to compete for the position of Hanzhong's prefect.
The Yang family, like the Yan family, Zhang family, etc. in the city, all fell into a headless state after the backbone of the family, Yang Song, was arrested.
Yang Bai appeared at this time, which really broke the situation.
As the person with the largest official position in the city, Yang Bai could have just raised his arm to assemble Zhang Lu's old troops, first to suppress the chaos in the city, and then to gather the remnants of the defeated generals to start anew - but he and his brother Yang Song committed a crime.
It must be the same problem.
"Let me tell you, when I was on the way to escape, I made up my mind. If I can escape death and return to Hanzhong this time - if I don't fight, the treasure house of Tianshi is the most important thing for us to capture.
——”
"Once we have captured the Heavenly Master's treasure house, we will go far and wide, remain anonymous, and rely on the money to live a life without any worries... When I say this, who agrees and who opposes it!"
On that day, Yang Bai raised his arms and shouted in front of the Yang family, which attracted the desperate Yang family to fall in love.
In front of the Xiliang cavalry, he, Yang Bai, was vulnerable, but facing losers like himself who couldn't go to the battlefield, Yang Bai still had the advantage of being a soldier.
Therefore, under the leadership of Yang Bai, the Yang family attacked the prefect's mansion in Nanzheng City.
But it was at this time that Yang Bai realized that Zhang Lu's treasure trove was not only being targeted by his family.
Perhaps because of Yang Bo's leadership and the absence of psychological pressure, Zhang Lu's former military commander Li Xiu, who was also the third counselor in Zhang Lu's tent in addition to Yan Pu Yang Song, worried about those behind him.
The Li family and the Zhang family, led by Zhang Lu's many sons and daughters, met at the same time and place outside the prefect's mansion in Nanzheng City.
When they were still under Zhang Lu's tent, everyone was harmonious, but after Zhang Lu's death, no one had an immediate boss, so it was like enemies meeting each other, making them extremely jealous.
Not to mention, what they are about to fight for is enough wealth to make people worry-free for ten lifetimes.
Therefore, amidst Yang Bai's shouts, a battle involving thousands of people actually started in this city.
Nanzheng City is already densely populated, and the military equipment is inevitably made of flint. During the battle, the fire spread for no reason, and the people suffered. Yang Bai and Li Xiu also suffered heavy casualties——
But this is just a fight between their two families.
Sometimes it is said that the power of the sect is unimaginable. Zhang Lu relied on his so-called status as a heavenly master to recruit a group of subordinates with evil intentions, but he was able to suppress these people.
In the past few decades, Zhang Lu, who had grown stronger, was by no means just a city in Nanzheng - in Shangyong City to the east, the two brothers of the Shen family, Shen Dan and Shen Yi, had received the news of Zhang Lu's death in battle early.
While hesitating about whether to march into Nanzheng and get involved in the process, he immediately lost his hesitation after receiving the news from his cronies in the city that Yang Bai and Li Xiu had begun fighting for the treasure trove.
Thousands of households in the Shangyong Xiping area were all under the instigation of the two Shen brothers.
In just a few days, they gathered nearly ten thousand people and went to Nanzheng without saying a word - it was not exactly what Yang Bai and Li Xiu had imagined. Yang Bai and Li Xiu even took the Yang family behind them.
The Zhang family, headed by Li Xiu for the time being, are now on the opposite side of Cao Cao. No matter how they compete for power in Nanzheng or even Hanzhong, they will never have anything to do with Cao Cao.
Therefore, Li Xiu wanted to support the Zhang family to continue to be independent, while Yang Bai wanted to leave.
But the Shen brothers are different——
Shangyong was originally connected to the Central Plains. Xiangyang and Changan were in urgent need before. As a force between Chang'an and Xiangyang, they wisely chose to stay put - thus leaving some good impressions in Cao Cao's eyes.
In addition, they are already pro-Han. If they can capture Nanzheng in one go and reintegrate the entire Hanzhong area, they will have too much room for maneuver.
"Everyone, please be clear, we are not just a faggot... We have now received news of the movement of soldiers and horses from Xudu. If nothing unexpected happens, Prime Minister Cao's next target is also the land of Hanzhong——"
Before the expedition, Shen Dan stood on the high platform, taking advantage of the great righteousness, and declared to his tribe:
"As long as we can take Nanzheng City first, and when Prime Minister Cao comes, we can offer both Hanzhong and Hanzhong...then why not do it if you all can be given official titles and titles!"
Shen Dan obviously hadn't finished speaking yet - they entered the city first, and as long as they got rid of the Zhang, Li, and Yang families, wouldn't the treasure trove also fall into their hands?
If Cao Cao asks at that time, they will only have to say that they were robbed by these families, and even Cao Cao will not be able to cure their crimes.
Once Zhang Lu fell, all parties with evil intentions finally showed their fangs.
