Chapter 116
"Cao Jun has withdrawn!"

The moment the large formation in the city opened, Cao Cao ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and ordered Xu Chu and Cao Hong to recall the troops attacking the mountain.

Only then did Pang De and Xu Huang withdraw and led the army to retreat, and the cloud that filled the battlefield slowly dissipated.

All the generals on the mountain breathed a sigh of relief in unison, looking down at the mountain where corpses were strewn all over the field, all of them felt lingering fear.

Yang Ren wiped the blood on his face, and said: "The big formation suddenly opened, it should be something happened in the city...Cao Cao probably sent the school staff to assassinate him, I hope there will be no troubles at Meng Jijiu..."

Zhang Weidao: "Since the formation is activated as usual, all the assassins in the city should be dead. Quick, send someone back to the city to have a look."

"Yes."

Yang Ren immediately ordered someone to go back to the city to learn more about the situation.

The guards at each key node of the Shili Camp began to order their subordinates to clean up the battlefield.

Zhang Qiying, Xing Du, and Wang Shuang led Bing Ya Dao and 5000 troops to defend Nanshan, next to Yangping Pass; Ma Chao led Baishi Assassin Group and [-] soldiers to defend Beishan; Under Zhang Wei's command, he appeared in Zhang Wei's camp together with Chang Xi at this time, and discussed with him the countermeasures against Cao Jun's attack.

The Yang family is the leading family in Hanzhong. In order to stabilize the rule, Zhang Lu promised generous benefits to the brothers Yang Song and Yang Bai. The former was the chief counselor and the head of the civil officials, and the latter was the chief general and the head of the military officers. The status of "wine" can be regarded as the two most respected people under the celestial master, the celestial master, and the heir.

At this time, Yang Bo didn’t know about Yang Song’s situation—after all, the surrender was done in secret. If the assassination of the school affairs office was successful, then Cao Cao would win Yang Ping’s position, and Yang Song would have no problem on the surface. Outsiders don’t know about the deal anyway. For the content, just go with the flow, just wait for the reward after the event, and moreover, Yang Bai is too close to Zhang Wei, if he finds out, he will be wiped out!

Therefore, Yang Bo did not know about Yang Song's collaboration with the enemy.

But he soon found out...

"Report!"

Suddenly, a Taoist disciple wearing a gray Taoist robe rushed into the big tent. Zhang Wei and others immediately recognized him as Meng Fan's personal ghost soldier. Knowing that there was news from the city, they breathed a sigh of relief. , Said: "Don't panic, does Meng Jijiu have something for you to convey."

"Yes."

The disciple took out a piece of silk from his bosom and presented it to Zhang Wei, and said in a low voice, "Master Jijiu ordered me to present it to the heir, please check it alone."

Everyone in the tent was taken aback.

Meng Fan What does this mean?
At this time, there are only three people in the tent, Yang Bo, Yang Ren, and Chang Xi, what can't be said directly?

Zhang Wei frowned, and wanted him to read it directly, but thinking that Lu Jing is also in the city now, this order may be given by Lu Jing, so he took the silk and carefully checked it, it doesn't matter, his face instantly changed As gloomy as water, the true energy of thunder all over his body exploded, and the power of the "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Art" exploded instantly, and he shouted angrily:

"Damn!!!"

The sound of thunder rolled like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, everyone inside and outside the big tent was shocked.

Yang Baidao: "Sijun, what happened..."

Zhang Wei waved his hand, without looking at Yang Bai, walked back to Shuai's case, took a pen and wrote a few lines, and ordered Yang Ren to take the letter to Nanshan to Lu Jing (Zhang Qiying). After rushing out of the big tent, Zhang Wei turned around and said coldly, "General Ma Chao is invited!"

"Yes."

Another soldier rushed to Beishan.

The atmosphere in the tent became more and more oppressive.

Only Yang Bo and Chang Xi were left looking at each other, a little confused about what news made Zhang Wei so angry.

The ghost soldier half-kneeled in the center of the big tent, bowed his head and did not speak.

Soon, Zhang Qiying, who was facing Lu Jing's face, entered the camp, followed by Ma Chao, who also entered the tent.

Everyone looked at Zhang Wei in unison.

Zhang Wei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, looked at Yang Bai, and said calmly, "Does the general know what this letter says?"

Yang Bai was taken aback for a moment, and replied truthfully: "The end general doesn't know..."

Zhang Wei directly threw the silk to Yang Bai. Yang Bai was puzzled, picked it up and looked at it, his face suddenly turned pale—this letter was actually a letter written by Cao Cao to Yang Song, with the seal of Duke Wei of Cao Cao on it. The scary thing is that there is Yang Song's seal and autograph under Cao Cao's great seal-this is the letter of appointment!Yang Song promised Cao Cao to assist the school government assassin to assassinate Meng Fan!
"This this this..."

Yang Bai's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "False accusation! Sijun, this is a false accusation! My eldest brother will never conspire with Cao Cao!"

"is it?"

Zhang Wei sneered: "Is that a mistake in the seal, or a mistake in handwriting?"

"This!"

Cold sweat broke out on Yang Bai's forehead. His own brother, Yang Bai, knew Yang Song's temperament best. This letter of appointment is probably true...

The problem is that it is a felony to communicate with external enemies, and the entire Hanzhong Yang family will be implicated!

Yang Bai was sweating profusely on his back, and he peeked around, Zhang Wei, Ma Chao, Lu Jing, Chang Xi, and Yang Ren who looked dazed——Yang Ren was just a branch of the family, and had little to do with him, and the closest person to Yang Song was Himself, Yang Song is likely to have been arrested, and he will be next...

Yang Bai was in a dilemma, his heart was in a mess, and he retreated subconsciously.

"catch him!"

In line with the attitude of catching mistakes and never letting them go, Zhang Wei directly ordered everyone to attack!
Zhang Qiying immediately flung out the [Xiaodu Gongyin], Ma Chao raised his spear to stab, Zhang Wei's figure flickered, everyone stepped forward, Yang Bai was hit repeatedly, and was about to be captured, the half-kneeling ghost soldier on the ground smiled slightly, from his arms He took out a [Yuan Rong Crossbow], which was designed to break the body protection of warriors, and aimed at Zhang Wei who was attacking Yang Bai with his palm!

at the same time.

Taking advantage of Zhang Weijun's civil strife, Cao Jun made a comeback and fought shockingly.

Xia Houyuan, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Pang De, and Cao Hong, the five great generals, all set out to attack the mountain and head towards Zhang Wei's camp!
……

Underground room.

Lu Jing held the puppet thread to control Zhang Yun, and confronted Guo Huai, beware of this person's sneak attack.

Meng Fan hid behind Lu Jing and manipulated the entire "Five Elements of Flowers and Trees Array", strengthening the tens of thousands of thorns in the direction of the city gate.

The three of them performed their duties and were very quiet.

While bored, Guo Huai suddenly smiled, looked at Lu Jing and said, "You are the direct descendant of the Heavenly Master, a cultivator of the Tao, don't you know what is meant by 'the general trend is irreversible, the great way cannot be violated'? What's the point of such stubborn resistance?"

Lu Jing said casually: "It's meaningless, it's nothing more than being in his position, receiving his salary, and seeking his own government, that's all."

Guo Huai was taken aback: "Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Lu Jing sighed and looked up at the top of his head: "Besides, I can only do this..."

Guo Huai thought for a while and understood, his eyes softened and he stopped talking.

It doesn't hurt that Cao Jun loses one Guo Huai, but if Tianshi Dao loses one Lu Jing, the problem will be serious.This is not to say that Lu Jing is stronger than Guo Huai, but that the weight of the two is different. Cao Cao has many more advisers and generals than Zhang Wei, and there are many tricks and tricks. No, but it may not be impossible to catch people...

Soon, half an hour passed.

Meng Fan, who was connected to the formation, suddenly changed his face drastically. Lu Jing saw it and guessed that the general situation was over.

"Successor... was arrested..."

……

Nanzheng.

Ferris Ridge.

Zhang Lu, Fan Xuan, Zhang Yulan and others were dealing with government affairs in the Dao Qi Chang Cun Hall when they suddenly received a letter from Meng Fan.

Fan Xuan pinched his fingers and sighed inwardly.

Zhang Yulan guessed a thing or two from his face, looking back at the mansion where she had lived for 30 years, feeling a little lost.

Zhang Lu also had a premonition. Ever since he knew that Cao Cao had personally conquered and the army had arrived at Yangping Pass, he knew that it was very likely that he would not be able to hold it, but sooner or later.

He adjusted his mentality, waved his sleeves, and his vitality condensed in the air, revealing his handwriting.

——In the 16th year of Jian'an, on August [-]th, there was a lot of fog.Cao Cao pretended to attack the camps on the mountain and retreated. Taking advantage of Zhang Weijun's slack, he used a letter of agreement from Yang Song to turn the former generals Zhang Wei and Yang Bai against each other. Unprepared in the camp, they made a comeback and attacked the mountain aggressively!
"Thousand-faced Fox", Captain Yingyang of the School Affairs Office, used [Yuan Rong Crossbow] and [Magic Repelling Talisman] to kill Yang Bai and severely injure Zhang Wei.

The book of agreement was poisonous, Zhang Wei was captured poisonously and wounded, and the next battalion was captured, and the army was defeated!

Cao Cao arrested Zhang Wei and negotiated in front of Yangping Pass, and made a promise that as long as Zhang Lu is willing to surrender, not only will Zhang Wei be returned, but Zhengyi will be the state religion of the Wei state, Zhang Lu will be the state teacher of the Wei state, and he will worship the general of Zhennan , was granted the title of Marquis of Langzhong, ten thousand households in the city of food, and the five sons were all marquises!
After Zhang Lu looked at it, he was satisfied even if he was disappointed. Cao Cao's handwriting was much bigger than he expected.

——Only Wei Guoguojiao and Wei Guoguoshi are two things that he can't refuse. This is a great convenience!
At this time, everyone knew that Cao Cao intended to become king, but the Han Dynasty was in decline, and sooner or later the world would belong to Wei State.

The two auras of Wei Guojiao and Wei Guoguoshi will become more and more prominent as time goes by!

The steps are given, and the benefits are available.

Zhang Lu didn't hold back anymore.

In the 16th year of Jian'an, on August [-]th, Zhang Lu arrived at Yangping Pass with all the senior officials of Tianshi Dao, and personally asked Cao Cao to surrender and presented the "Flower and Tree Order".

"The so-called long-term chaos will be cured. After more than [-] years of war and chaos, the world's states are ten houses and nine empty, people's livelihood is dying, and everyone is thinking about peace. Looking at the world today, the one who can restore the sky and the sky is none other than Wei Gong. The ancestors and fathers took the heaven and the earth as their heart, and took the living beings as their thoughts, traveled around the world, eliminated harm for the people, and established a great religion. Those who follow my teachings cannot gain the Tao without sincerity, can not establish virtue without respect, and cannot establish virtue without loyalty. To serve the king, there is no way to serve relatives without filial piety.

Lu Bucai, following the prefect of Hanzhong for more than ten years, governed the country with teachings. Fortunately, the people recognized him, and everyone rejoiced. Another sage was sent to succeed Hanzhong as the prefect. Lu Yu put aside the vulgar ideas, put his mind at ease, presided over the educational affairs, spread my way in Shenzhou, kept the righteousness and eliminated the evil, so as to change the way! "

After Zhang Lu finished speaking, he bowed down as a courtier.

Yan Pu, Fan Xuan, Zhang Yulan, Meng Fan, Lu Jing and others bowed down.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, he personally supported Zhang Lu, bestowed the title of national teacher, and took his hand into Yangping Pass. On the same day, he was granted the title of Tianshi.

Zhang Wei was granted the title of General Zhaoyi and Marquis of Lanxiang.

Yan Pu was granted the title of General Jianjie and Marquis of Pingle Township.

Both Fan Xuan and Zhang Yulan were not interested in being officials, so they declined Cao Cao's canonization.

Then there are the five sons of Zhang Lu, all of whom are Tinghou and important positions.

Then, it was Lu Jing's turn.

In this battle, Lu Jing shined brilliantly. He first defeated Xiahouyuan's vanguard battalion, and then repeatedly saw through the assassination of the school government. Already lost!

Cao Cao greatly appreciated his martial arts, wit, and temperament.

Cao Cao has always been generous in treating this kind of young talent who can be admired, and with a big wave of his hand, he named Lu Jing the Marquis of Lou Ting and the Captain of Mo Jin, and he was on an equal footing with Yang An, envious of others.

——In fact, Cao Cao wanted to canonize him as Colonel Yingyang, but he had no choice but to serve as a guard, and it was impossible for a general to be demoted.

Even if Lu Jing is unwaveringly loyal to the Heavenly Master and Fan Xuan, and has a tenacious heart, it will take time to prove that he is equally loyal to Wei Guo and him.Lieutenant Mojin is in charge of searching for treasures and intelligence, and at the same time is far away from the center, which is suitable for cultivating a sense of belonging.

At this point, Cao Cao took Hanzhong, and ordered each county to set up a prefect, set up a captain, and reward the soldiers!
The master secretary Sima Yi said: "Liu Bei is besieging Chengdu at this time, and now the Lord has captured Hanzhong, and Yizhou is shaking. If you can attack it quickly, it will collapse. A wise man is more valuable than taking advantage of the time, and the opportunity must not be missed."

But at this moment, news came that Liu Bei led his army to capture Chengdu and Liu Zhang surrendered.

At the same time, there was also a rebellion in the south where Sun Quan attacked Hefei and Xudu, and there was news that "rebellious officials" conspired to rescue the emperor.

God is right with Cao.

Sun Quan's attack in the south and the fire in the backyard are going on at the same time, which is to buy time for Liu Bei!

Cao Cao could not stay in Hanzhong for long, so he left Xia Houyuan to guard the pass of Dingjun Mountain and Zhang Yun to guard the pass of Mengtouyan, and began to lead his army back.

The great man has been supporting scholars for 400 years, and there are old ones.These people are secretly fighting against Cao Cao!

Cao Cao knew that he must become king as soon as possible, and got rid of the backlash of the big man. Now that Hanzhong has been won, Zhang Lu bowed his head and made great achievements. The road to becoming king is unstoppable. The road to Shu is difficult. It is even more difficult and dangerous to face the enemy from the front and back. After the rebellion of Sun Quan and Xuchang has been pacified, the king will be established first, and then he will be completely separated from the great Han.

Cao Cao led his army back to Yecheng.

The senior officials of Tianshidao and the [-] believers are also willing to follow.

"Finally leaving..."

Lu Jing glanced back at Hanzhong for the last time, and then drove his horse towards the wider world.

Behind him are Wang Shuang, Hu Cong, Zhang Qiying, Yan Ling and others who are also galloping fast. A brand new world is also welcoming them...
