This time when he returned to Hanzhong, Yu Xian still walked to the familiar Ziwu Valley.
Burning down the plank road is naturally not a trouble for people like Yu Xian.
But the journey was difficult and I suffered a lot.
Zuoqiu Junyi pretended to sleep in the open with Feng Dian at first, but within a few days he couldn't stand it any longer.
When I arrived at the place where the plank road was burned, I saw the rushing water. I left a letter that night and disappeared.
Yu Xian didn't care either.
When he returns to Shu this time, he will most likely have to face the unstoppable existence of Emperor Nuba. Old man Zuoqiu can't help him much anyway. It would be a pity if he dies.
Sometimes Yu Xian climbs and jumps, sometimes swims upstream, or sleeps in a stone cave, or sleeps on the top of a pine tree.
After more than ten days, we finally arrived at the exit of Ziwu Valley.
There was a symbolic team of county soldiers guarding the place, but the defense was extremely lax. Yu Xian easily entered the Hanzhong Plain without even using cover-up tactics.
The entire Hanzhong County has a total of nine counties, namely Nanzheng County, Chenggu County, Xicheng County, Baozhong County, Mianyang County, Anyang County, Jin County, Shangyong County, and Fangling County.
According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", in the fifth year of Yonghe reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Hanzhong County had more than 57,000 registered residents and a population of more than 260,000.
When Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, more than 100,000 people were encouraged by Yu Xian to move to Hanzhong.
These people were placed in various counties by Su Gu, the former governor of Hanzhong, and they immediately enriched the population of each county.
If Liu Yan hadn't attacked in such a hurry, as long as Su Gu was given another three or two years, the counties in Hanzhong would have been able to reclaim large areas of wasteland, and their strength would have greatly improved.
After leaving Ziwu Road and heading west shortly, you will reach Chenggu County.
Yu Xian asked around along the way and had a rough idea of the situation in Hanzhong County.
After the witch Zhang Xiu captured Hanzhong, he quickly burned down several plank roads leading to Guanzhong. This made the Yizhou soldiers and horses, who were already uneasy about these Taoist soldiers, immediately become vigilant.
You must know that Liu Yan had great ambitions in raising troops this time.
Unlike Liu Biao, who wanted to imitate Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty in overtaking in corners, Liu Yan was imitating Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.
At the beginning of the army, Liu Yan revealed his intention to recapture Luoyang and calm the troubled times to those around him.
Now these Dao soldiers who were supposed to benefit from the control of the Prefectural Mufu actually directly destroyed Liu Yan's way to Luo, shattering all Liu Yan's hopes.
As soon as these plank roads were cut off, the Taoist soldiers and barbarian soldiers in Zhang Xiu's hands immediately became a situation where tigers entered the alley and fought back.
Sensing that something was wrong, the three generals Fu Jin, Zhang Yi, and Xiang Cun who were following the march took advantage of the night to lead the Yizhou headquarters soldiers and horses to break away from the brigade, and turned back to blockade Yangping Pass again.
Another group of troops, led by the four generals of Jiameng Pass, defeated Su Gu's remnants and occupied Micang Mountain.
The witch Zhang Xiu's troops, except for his lieutenants Pu Hu, Du Yi, Yuan Yue and others, were sent out to seize various counties, and the main force was still stationed at Dingjun Mountain.
The location of Dingjun Mountain is very subtle, which can greatly reduce the defensive value of Yangping Pass.
However, Zhang Ren's move to seize Micang Mountain made the soldiers and horses of Dingjun Mountain very fearful. Micang Mountain not only threatened Dingjun Mountain, but also threatened Nanzheng County, the core of the Hanzhong Plain.
The forces under the Yizhou Mufu and the Heming Taoist Palace had quietly completed several throat-cutting operations on each other without breaking out.
In addition, Yu Xian also found out that Zhang Lu had arrived in Nanzheng in person, which made Yu Xian feel that things were not simple.
Yu Xian rushed to Chenggu County, intending to meet up with the people from Heming Taoist Palace, but he learned that the general guarding Chenggu had accepted the decree and had already rushed to Nanzheng with a small number of disciples.
Yu Xian simply headed towards Nanzheng without resting.
When approaching Nanzheng, Yu Xian met a group of honor guards on the official road. After asking about it, he was overjoyed.
He stepped forward to stop the man, but it was Yan Pu, the wine worshipper, who got out of the carriage.
When Yu Xian went to Heming Mountain to see Zhang Lu, he had a very pleasant conversation with this stinky chess player.
Yan Pu saw the smile on Yu Xian's face and asked, "The headmaster asked Qing Qingzi to look for you, why did you come back today?"
When Yu Xian heard the words, he didn't want those scandals to be known to Zhang Lu.
However, judging from Yan Pu's attitude, it seems that the situation is not as scary as Qing Qingzi's.
Yan Pu looked around and asked curiously, "Where is Qingqingzi's great wine offering? Didn't he come back with you? By the way, Baiyunzi's great offering of wine isn't there either?"
Yu Xian was confused after hearing this, and quickly said, "This disciple was involved in the Buddhist catastrophe and got separated from Master Qingqingzi. Because the matter was urgent, I had to rush back from Ziwu Valley by myself."
Yan Pu suddenly realized after hearing this, "So that's it, you are going to Ziwu Valley."
He also explained, "The headmaster was waiting impatiently and saw that you were not coming back, so he asked Baiyunzi's Grand Sacrifice Wine to make some calculations. You seem to have something that suppresses luck, and Baiyunzi's Grand Sacrifice Wine's calculations were not accurate.
You will be back soon. So the headmaster asked Bai Yunzi to hold the grand ceremony and wait in Baozhong, but I didn’t expect you to go to Ziwu Road."
After hearing what Yan Pu said, Yu Xian felt strange in his heart.
With Zhang Lu's gentle temperament, how could he be so anxious to see him?
No matter how shameful Taoist Banshan's report was, he wouldn't be such a gossip that he would let the two high priests go find him.
Yu Xian was puzzled, but the matter was so unbearable that Yu Xian couldn't help but ask in detail.
So he changed the subject and asked, "It seems I missed it... Where did the Taoist Master come back from?"
Yan Pu saw Yu Xian looking at the ceremonial guards with a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I just returned from counting the household registrations in various counties. I didn't expect that I, a man from the mountains, would be crowned like this one day. I don't know what Guo Jia did.
What kind of ecstasy soup has the head master poured into me, so I have to wade through the muddy waters of this troubled world."
When Yu Xian heard Guo Jia's name, he immediately felt pressure rushing towards him, and he felt a little uneasy.
He hid from Jia Juluo in Guanzhong and Guo Juluo in Shuzhong.
I have clearly offended these elder brothers.
Subconsciously, Yu Xian asked, "What about Guo Jiaren?"
Yan Pu was quite critical of Guo Jia, and simply said, "He should have rushed to Nanzheng with Zhang Xiu first."
"After Guo Jia became a disciple of the Junior Master, he repeatedly made clever plans and won the trust of the master. Later, he was sent by the master to divide the military power with the witch Zhang Xiu. Unexpectedly, Guo Jia not only did not let Zhang Xiu have a grudge.
, on the contrary, we get along very harmoniously. Most of the credit for successfully entering the Hanzhong Plain this time is due to this person. Among the young disciples, this person's prestige is unparalleled."
After hearing this, Yu Xian felt that it was natural, but also became more and more uneasy.
After the surrender of the four generals at Jiameng Pass, Chen Diao had only Pang De to rely on, and the generals at his disposal were already stretched thin.
With Guo Jia's high configuration, helping to conquer Hanzhong is nothing.
It's just that this top military strategist who should be circling the world like a dragon is moving around in this small corner. What is he trying to do?
Yu Xian held his sleeves and thought about it silently.
——It shouldn’t have anything to do with me, right?
