Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Zhang Lu is the most critical factor in the stability of Hanzhong. If Zhang Lu can be kept in check, the rest of the things will be much simpler.

"Let Zhang Lu come to see me," Lu Bu said.

Lu Bu also had ideas about how to deal with Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu's Five Pecks of Rice Sect was a good strategy for the people, but it would make people in the religion fanatical about Zhang Lu. At this point, the Five Pecks of Rice Sect was different from Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao.

There are similarities, and this is exactly what the rulers do not want to see. No one wants to have forces that threaten the rulers under their rule.

After taking refuge with Lu Bu, Zhang Lu was indeed a little worried. After all, the power of Hanzhong was now in Lu Bu's hands, and Zhang Lu was a smart man. He believed that Lu Bu would definitely fulfill his promise, otherwise, Hanzhong and Ba would be exchanged for it.

Due to the instability in the county, he had been in Hanzhong for many years, and the Five Dou Rice Cult had a profound influence. He believed that Lu Bu would make the right decision.

Therefore, although he did not get Lu Bu's personal promise, Zhang Lu did not have too many worries. The fact that Zhang Wei was reused by Lu Bu showed that Lu Bu was not a blind and reckless warrior in the eyes of the aristocratic family.

Old Taoist, but the rest depends on how the aristocratic families in Hanzhong and Bajun cooperate.

After Hanzhong and Bajun are stabilized, Lu Bu will definitely take action against the aristocratic families and let the common people get their land, but that will only happen in a long time. If the aristocratic families operate in advance, their own interests will be less compromised.

Zhang Lu agreed with Lu Bu when it came to treating the people. Otherwise, Zhang Lu would not have chosen to join Lu Bu. Even if Lu Bu broke Yangping Pass, he could have led his troops to Ba County and continued to fight against Lu Bu. Compared with

Bajun in Hanzhong is even more dangerous. As long as we stick to the pass, it will be difficult for Lu Bu's army to enter Bajun.

As the master of the Five Dou Rice Sect, Zhang Lu would not want to distribute the fields to the people. Zhang Lu, as the ruler of Hanzhong and Bajun, naturally understands the living conditions of the people. In the eyes of outsiders, Yizhou is rich.

However, the real situation is that while the aristocratic families are rich, the people are still exhausted. More and more people can only survive by relying on the aristocratic families. This is not only in Yizhou, but also in the territories governed by other princes. The aristocratic families control

With a large number of fields, they could not let family members plant these fields, so the matter of planting the fields fell on the common people.

The aristocratic family's methods must be something that the common people can deal with, otherwise the aristocratic family will not control more and more fields. In order to survive, the common people who have lost their fields can only become tenant farmers and work for the aristocratic family. The influence of the aristocratic family is getting higher and higher, and the people

Their lives are even more impoverished.

"Gong Qi, after I entered Hanzhong, I was busy with affairs, but I neglected Gong Qi. I hope Gong Qi will not blame you." Lu Bu said with a smile. After entering Hanzhong, he had a deeper understanding of Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu cupped his hands and said, "The Marquis of Jin is busy with affairs, and my subordinates understand."

Lu Bu was keenly aware of the worry in Zhang Lu's eyes. It was normal for princes to do things like killing donkeys. Zhang Lu was the ruler of Hanzhong before, and only this ruler died.

Only in this way can the position of the new ruler be more stable.

"Master Qi, please sit down." Lu Bu gestured.

"After I entered Hanzhong, I greatly admired Gong Qi's strategies for treating the people, especially the Five Pecks of Rice Sect under Gong Qi's leadership." Lu Bu said calmly.

Zhang Lu frowned and thought for a long time: "I wonder what the Marquis of Jin thinks about the Five Pecks of Rice Religion?"

Lu Bu said: "The Five Dou Rice Sect helps people overcome difficulties and makes them good, which is naturally good. However, when people enter the Five Dou Rice Sect, they need to pay five Dou rice, which is a bit bad. People with wealthy families are still fine.

If someone from a poor family wants to join the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, wouldn't it be difficult?"

"Marquis of Jin, this rule is passed down by the Five Pecks of Rice Cult, and it is not inconvenient for subordinates to change it. Moreover, the rice grains paid by the people are also to rescue other poor people." Zhang Lu said.

"Oh, if that's the case, it makes sense, but the Five Dou Rice Sect uses talisman water to treat people's illnesses, which is somewhat similar to Taiping Dao." Lu Bu stared at Zhang Lu with a burning gaze: "As for talking about talismans,

Whether water can cure diseases, Gongqi must know."

Zhang Lu was shocked. He had naturally considered this issue. It was also to deepen the influence of the Five Dou Rice Sect among the people. If he wanted to get people to join the Five Dou Rice Sect, he would naturally have to show extraordinary means. Otherwise, how to make people join the Five Dou Rice Sect?

The people are convinced.

"Under my rule, the Rice Religion can exist, but the Rice Religion is not allowed to spread such nonsense." Lu Bu said firmly.

"I understand," Zhang Lu said. If he gets Lu Bu's support, Mijiao will develop very quickly. Zhang Lu will be the one to make Mijiao stronger. However, he cannot refuse Lu Bu's request.

After all, Lu Bu is the real ruler.

"For matters related to Rice Religion, Gongqi can just discuss it with the officials of Chang'an Prefecture. I asked Gongqi to come this time because of the war in Yizhou." Lu Bu said.

Zhang Lu understood and said: "Marquis of Jin, it is extremely difficult to attack Yizhou from Hanzhong. There are many checkpoints. The first one to attack is Baishui Pass. Although there are only two thousand soldiers and horses in Baishui Pass, it is an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place.

Zhiyangping Pass is not weak at all. After Baishui Pass, there is Jiameng Pass. Compared with Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass is more dangerous. Entering Zitong from Jiameng Pass, you pass through dangerous places such as Jiange. Even though Jiange

Without soldiers to guard it, if the army wants to pass, it will have to pay a heavy price."

Although he had a certain understanding of Yizhou's terrain, after hearing Zhang Lu talk about it again, Lu Bu's understanding of Yizhou's difficult terrain became even more intense. Especially Jiange, it was definitely a nightmare for the army to march, and Jiange

It is also the only way to enter Yizhou. Once Liu Bei saw that the situation was not going well and burned down the Jiange Plank Road, it would be equivalent to cutting off the army's way into Shuzhong.

"I wonder how much Gong Qi knows about Meng Da, the gatekeeper at Jiameng Pass?" Lu Bu asked.

Of course, Lu Bu had heard of Meng Da. Historically, he had taken refuge with Liu Bei, and then turned to Cao Cao because of the Guan Yu incident. It can be said to be an unstable factor. If Meng Da can be persuaded to attack Liu Bei instead, he will attack Yizhou.

Things are much simpler.

Zhang Lu instantly understood the meaning of Lu Bu's words, "It would be extremely difficult for the Marquis of Jin to convince Meng Da. Meng Da is a famous general in Yizhou. His defection to Liu Bei must have been premeditated, and Meng Da led the troops in the battle."

It is extremely strategic, even if the Marquis of Jin leads a large army to attack Baishui Pass, it will be extremely difficult to defeat it."
