Liu Fan's name made Zhang Lu in the Taoist temple feel heart-string. In fact, compared to the prefect, he hoped that others could recognize his identity as the Master.

Unlike the officials and people in Hanzhong, who respectfully call him Shijun, if people outside Hanzhong really willingly call him "Shijun", this is very satisfying.

Obviously, Liu Fan grasped Zhang Lu's spiritual need.

With a strange expression, Yan Pu turned his head to look at Zhang Lu. As one of the few loyal and wise men in Hanzhong, although he was grateful to Zhang Lu for his kindness, he knew from his heart that Zhang Lu was obsessed with the Tao of Tianshi.

"Shi Jun, the person who was shouting outside was probably Liu Bochang!"

Nodded slightly, with a hint of hesitation in his turbid eyes, Zhang Lu said, "Zimao, do you think this Liu Bochang also recognizes my identity as Master Jun?"

He opened his mouth, Yan Pu wanted to speak but stopped, but finally sighed secretly and responded: "Shijun, whether Liu Bochang recognized Shijun's identity is, his subordinates don't know, but now Nan Zheng has taken all his hands into it is a fact!"

"So, now I can only surrender to him?"

He lowered his head and was silent. Yan Pu no longer responded, and the meaning was self-evident. Seeing this, Zhang Lu also smiled helplessly, "It seems that I am really defeated! After all, the five dou of rice paths are too shallow. Otherwise, if the power of the church members would be enough to resist him after several years of operation."

Upon hearing this, Yan Pu still did not answer. Zhang Lu didn't say anything more. He shook his sleeves and robe, stood up from the cushion, tidied up his clothes, walked forward, and slowly opened the door of the Taoist temple.

At this moment, there were hundreds of elite soldiers coming outside the Taoist temple with Liu Fan. Among them, Xu Huang held a big axe in his hand and stood beside him like a door god.

Looking up and down at the young man in front of him, wearing a hidden black robe, with a beautiful face and delicate eyebrows, Liu Fan couldn't help but be amazed. Zhang Lu was actually much older than him, but looking at his face, he was actually taking care of him like a young man. As expected, his mother was good at maintaining health, and the rumors that there were Shaorong were true.

I guess this family has the skills to keep their eyes open.

A smile appeared on his face, and Liu Fan looked at Zhang Lu with a gentle look, "Actually, I just returned from Guanzhong and passed by Hanzhong and entered Bashu. Zhang Shijun used five dou of rice to govern Hanzhong. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was no need to have such a gap with me."

With his right hand flat and his left hand carrying, Zhang Lu slowly walked down the steps with a fairy-like look, looking at Liu Fan calmly, "The prince came from Guanzhong. I don't know if there are Liangzhou soldiers beside him. I don't know if Lu is being coerced, so he dare not open the city gate without permission to prevent the people of Hanzhong from being implicated by war."

Smiling and nodding, Liu Fan listened to Zhang Lu's explanation, but did not refute, but just agreed, "Shijun is concerned about the people, and the people of Hanzhong are concerned about Shijun. No wonder they can live so peacefully. After I return to Mianzhu, I will definitely report to my father that I will show my merits for Shijun!"

"The prince praised it!" Zhang Lu was devoted to Taoism, but he could get to the point where he followed Zhang Xiu to attack Hanzhong and replaced it. How could anyone be a person who was ignorant of the current affairs? When he saw Liu Fan treating him with courtesy, he also responded politely.

So after a few greetings between the two sides, Liu Fan, as an outsider, took the initiative to invite Zhang Lu to return to the county magistrate's office to discuss in detail.

From Liu Fan's natural signal, everyone also saw that he did not treat Zhang Lu as an enemy at all. Perhaps, Zhang Lu's strength could not be seen in Liu Fan's eyes.

After Zhang Lu followed Liu Fan back to the county magistrate's office again, the situation in Nanzheng was completely calmed down. Meng Da and Pang De were arranged to take over the soldiers in Hanzhong, and Xu Huang went to select elite troops and select and supplement them into Liu Fan's army.

Through two siege battles, the stubborn people among the old soldiers were basically eliminated, including Xu Huang and Pang De's athletes, were screened heavily, either obeying the generals of the Left Central Army General, or surrendering with the brave choice of their respective lieutenants.

Now there are four lieutenants under Liu Fan, namely Xu Huang, Pang De, Meng Da and Sun Zhao. As for the number of soldiers they each command is still different. Xu Huang's two school soldiers in the headquarters also leads two schools, which means he has four schools to mobilize soldiers.

According to the Han military system, there were 800 people in one school. Xu Huang held three thousand soldiers nearly at the level of the General of the Central Army in his name as a lieutenant. This was the advantage of the first general who followed Liu Fan. Obviously, Xu Huang has always been the most trustworthy existence under Liu Fan.

As for Pang De, after replenishing the 800 cavalry in his headquarters, Liu Fan supplied him with another school of infantry, which means that he had more than 1,600 people. In the end, Meng Da also increased from the original school of 800 people to one thousand people. The remaining removed old soldiers returned to Sun Zhao's command, and there were still thousands of people.

Looking at the thousand old soldiers gathered together again, Sun Zhao was also helpless. In fact, he knew that the components of these old soldiers were complicated. Unfortunately, these people originally had the intention of hiding into the army for the various ethnic groups of Bashu, and Sun Zhao could not offend so many people.

Now, Liu Yan's eldest son, the future governor of Yizhou, has eliminated these people before he even entered Bashu. I believe that his return to Shu may cause a bloody storm.

However, that's all a story later. Now Liu Fan is busy communicating with Zhu Junxian, Hanzhong.

In the hall of the county magistrate's mansion, there were many guests at this time, and the best friends were like clouds.

There are Liu Fan, the eldest son of the governor of Yizhou who is sitting upright, the wise and filial laws of Zhongjun, Xiaozhi, Zhang Lu, who is still the magistrate of Hanning County, as well as his younger brother Zhang Wei, the county gongcao Yan Pu, the county magistrate Yang Song, and the commander Yang Bai.

He picked up the wine bottle in his hand, Liu Fan looked around for a while, laughing happily, "I saw that under the governance and maintenance of all the wise men, Hanzhong has been rich and living and working in peace in recent years. I represent the Mu Jing of Yizhou for this achievement!"

After saying that, the crowd also picked up the wine bottle and started drinking.

After lifting up his sleeves, after three rounds of wine, Liu Fan gradually began to get to the point. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Lu, who was accompanying Zhang Lu. Liu Fan smiled gently, "At that time, Gong Qi came to attack Hanzhong in the name of his father, in the name of his father, and never thought that he had wasted many years in Hanzhong in this blink of an eye."

With a sigh of relief, Zhang Lu's eyes were confused and seemed to have fallen into memories, "Thinking about the time, Lu came to Hanzhong to preach under Mu Bo's order, but he did not expect that Zhang Xiuzhe was determined to be undead, so he launched an attack on Su Gu Prefect. After attacking him, he directly occupied Hanzhong.

After Mu Bo's care for me for many years, I gathered a righteous man to eliminate him. Later, I was ordered by Mu Bo to guard Hanzhong for several years and waited for an opportunity to return to Yizhou. Now that the young master has returned safely, I can also go back to Shuzhong to reunite with my family."

At this time, Zhang Lu, who had returned to peace, spoke to Liu Fan in a clear manner, and directly attributed his actions to occupy Hanzhong to waiting for Liu Fan to return, and threw the responsibility for seizing Hanzhong to the dead Zhang Xiu.

At this moment, Liu Fan's eyes lit up. There was a reason why Zhang Luneng was sent by Liu Yan to attack Su Gu with Zhang Xiu. His keen ability to shift political responsibility was not available to ordinary people.

Indeed, although Hanzhong was attacked and the real ownership was also in the hands of Liu Yan, in name, Zhang Lu was carrying the blockade of Liu Yan's pass, and Bashu could not pay tribute to the court, and he was ordered by the court.

Liu Yan could also be the king in Yizhou naturally. However, Liu Yan did not want to recognize the matter of sending troops to attack the Hanzhong prefect appointed by the court, so did he and Zhang Lu want to recognize it? Of course, he didn't want to, so he directly left the responsibility to Zhang Xiu. In this way, neither he nor Liu Yan had any responsibility.

At most, he was responsible for blocking Liu Yan from serving the Han court to the Northern Dynasty, but it is unknown whether Liu Yan himself did not want to serving the court.

He raised the wine bottle to Zhang Lu, and Liu Fan smiled, "Your Majesty has worked hard all these years, I will give you another bottle!" Seeing this, Zhang Lu quickly raised the bottle and drank it. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhang Lu was also a little drunk. After all, he doesn't drink much on weekdays.

Looking at him with a smile, Liu Fan said with a blushing face: "Pongqi, I already know your hard work. In this way, you have made great contributions to your guards in Hanzhong over the years. I must convey your merits to my father. The prefect of a county is no longer enough to make up for you. If you are willing to return to Bashu with me, I will recommend you to my father as the Taoist teacher of Yizhou!"

As soon as this said, Zhang Lu's eyes, whose face turned red, opened his eyes in an instant. He stared at Liu Fan without blinking. I don't know if it was excitement or some reason, Zhang Lu tilted his body and grabbed Liu Fan's outstretched hand and held him tightly.

"Bo Chang, this is true!"

"It's true!" Staring at Zhang Lu's eyes, Liu Fan looked sincere, "Why can I, Liu Bochang, not know about the pain of staying outside? Over the years, I have been in the capital for quality, and I have long known the torment. I know the best of Gong Qi's contribution!"

"Okay!" Zhang Lu raised the wine bottle with his other hand and poured it into his mouth. "Bo Chang is really my confidant. I would like to go back with Bo Chang!"

After saying that, Zhang Lu fell to the ground and fell asleep. After a night of running around and drunkenness, he fell asleep completely. A entourage came up to carry Zhang Lu away, and the hall returned to quiet again. At this time, everyone's faces were red, and everyone seemed to see that Liu Fan was a generous and generous person.

So, taking advantage of Liu Fan's drunken eyes, Yang Song quickly came to him and drank it one cup after another on the left. Liu Fan seemed to attach great importance to him and exchanged cups with him.

As for the others, it seems that Zhang Wei had Meng Da accompanying him. Although Yan Pu only occasionally raised his wine bottle and sipped a few times, Fa Zheng liked to talk to him about something.

Therefore, everyone in the hall had their own drinkers. Only Yang Song and Yang Bai kept drinking around Liu Fan, reaching out to hook Yang Bai's shoulder, Liu Fan pointed at him, and Yang Song said, "Master Yang, I will tell you the truth. If I hadn't ordered my brother to turn against me in time, how could our army enter Nanzheng so easily? In this battle, Yang Bai will be the first to be the leader!"

Nodding and laughing, Yang Song glanced at Yang Bai and was also happy. Now that Zhang Lu has fallen, Hanzhong will probably become Liu Fan’s private land in the future. If the Yang family can climb up his high branch, there will be opportunities to become prosperous in the future. "Young Master said very much. I explained to Yang Bai before that as long as the young master's righteous army arrives, you must open the city gate to welcome him!"

He pointed his finger at Yang Song, and Liu Fan burped, "You are right! The whole of Yizhou belongs to my father, a small Hanzhong, how could I take it seriously? Besides, do you know." As he said that, Liu Fan subconsciously approached Yang Song and lowered his voice: "Do you know that I am carrying the secret edict of today when I return to Yizhou!"

His eyes opened brightly in an instant. Yang Song and Yang Bai looked at each other, immediately next to Liu Fan, and asked in a low voice: "I wonder what the emperor's secret edict to the prince is in?"

Holding the floor with his hands, Yang Song tried hard to make himself Liu Fan's support. After a previous cup of tea and teasing with Zhang Lu, Yang Song could be sure that Liu Fan must be drunk. Otherwise, he would not have told him such a big deal.

"Ah!" He waved his hand quickly. Even if he was drunk, Liu Fan seemed to force himself not to talk nonsense. Looking at Yang Song, Liu Fan was so secretive, "How can I just talk about the emperor's will!"

"What are you saying? My brother Yang Bai opened the city and asked the young master to enter the city. I asked the young master to catch Zhang Gongqi. For the young master, my brothers have entrusted all their lives to the young master. Isn't the young master still willing to believe me? This." As he said that, Yang Song bowed his head and became sad alone.

"Hey! What is Yang Zhubu said?" As if he was excited by Yang Song, Liu Fan reached out and patted Yang Song on the shoulder, "I believe in you and your brothers, but this matter is of great importance, and there are many difficulties at the moment, how can I be careless!

Since you sincerely want to know that your brothers and brothers have done many great things for me, I will tell you both at this time!” At this moment, Liu Fan lowered his voice and whispered: “This time I returned to Yizhou, and I was ordered by the emperor to bring the soldiers from Yizhou into the capital to attack the rebellion!”

"According to the emperor's order, go to Beijing to serve the king!" Yang Bai exclaimed in a low voice.

Yang Song was also shocked, his eyes swayed left and right, and he tried hard to calm down. From the past, those who could follow the orders of the emperor and go to Beijing to pay tribute to the king were eventually passed down for generations of glory and wealth. Some even simply followed the dragon's merits, which allowed the family to rise.

Not to mention the distant future, the Yang family of Hongnong was the Yang family. Although they established their family business and Yang Xi during the Emperor Gaozu, what really made the Yang family rise was the achievements of following the dragon after Yang Mei took the team and made it clear. Since then, the Yang family has been three of the three generations and has officially become the top wealthy family in Guanxi.

This is what Yang Song pursues. She rolled her Adam's apple on her own. Yang Song stared at Liu Fan and asked nervously and quietly: "I heard the young master just now. There are still many difficulties at the moment. I don't know what difficulties are? My brothers and I are willing to go through fire and water!"

"You?" Liu Fan looked at them with a slight frown. Then he shook his head, "You can't do it, you are too bad. Although the Yang family is a Hanzhong clan and has a wealthy family, you are much worse than the Shangshu clan, and you are much less money."
