"Ah! Xiao Zhouzhou!" Zhang Lu saw it and waved to him.

"Master, I am over forty years now... Can you stop calling me 'Little Zhouzhou'?" The scribe sighed, "And my current name is Yan Pu, a Han native in Brazil!"

"I know, Xiao Zhouzhou, there are no outsiders here," Zhang Lu said with a smile.

"Did I beg for the wrong teacher at that time?" Yan Pu looked at Zhang Wei.

"Do you understand this now?" Zhang Wei complained, "My eldest sister is not very reliable..."

There is talent, whether it is Taoist knowledge or Confucian knowledge. There is no doubt about the ability to govern and stabilize the people. At the same time, it is rare that she also has a natural leadership temperament that can make people want to follow. The disadvantage is that she lacks a stubborn mind, does her own way, and then she will get rid of things if she is accidentally.

When I was not the Heavenly Master, I traveled around the world with my two sisters. Seeing the people's life difficult, I used talismans everywhere to treat diseases... and then came to my senses. I was already the villain who ruled the thirty-six roads of Qu, and was preparing to overthrow the Han Dynasty...

Finally, I started to panic. After all, rebellion will cause a loss of mind.

"Let's not talk about that..." Yan Pu also knew that it was meaningless to continue to care about this issue. "Sir, the spring plowing has been completed. I plan to take a break in the water conservancy period in the temporary slack season... Mobilization and signing documents, you have to be responsible for all these!"

"I know!" Zhang Lu pointed to the tea and refreshments on the tea table, "The afternoon tea will be over. Xiao Zhouzhou, can you come and have a drink?!"

"I have to deal with other official documents, teachers, and Hanzhong, and I'm not optimistic." Yan Pu sighed.

"Hey?" Zhang Lu was a little surprised, "But the rain and weather this year are good! No matter how you look at it, it's a good harvest year!"

"Is this what I'm talking about?" Yan Pu replied immediately, "The latest news is that the court has captured Yecheng and Yuan Shao has died. Bingzhou has announced its surrender, and only Youzhou is still resisting stubbornly. Jingzhou and Liangzhou also expressed their surrender. The court has not yet controlled the only place we are Yizhou!"

"That should be something that Liu Zhang had a headache." Zhang Lu replied casually, took a sip of black tea, and then realized a possibility, "Could it be that if the imperial court wants to attack Yizhou, it must first attack our Hanzhong?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Zhang Wei was helpless, "How could they enter Bashu without conquering Hanzhong?"

"What to do, what to do, what to do..." Zhang Lu immediately became panicked.

"There is no big problem in defense. With Nanshan (Qinling Mountain), Wudang Mountain and Jingshan as barriers, as long as several key passes are closed, it is not easy for the other party to break in. But with a county and a county, it is only a matter of time to lose," Yan Pu thought for a while and replied.

When you can enter Hanzhong County in the two prefectures of Yongliang, you can take two main routes: Xigu and Ziwu Valley. Of course, you can also go from Xiangyang to Jingshan to Fangling, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, and there are Banshang who are quite active in that area, so it is not easy to come here.

In other words, as long as you guard Xiegu and Ziwugu, Hanzhong will almost be stable. During the period of Dong Zhuo, he attacked Yizhou, but was blocked by these two passes and could not make any progress, and finally gave up this plan.

"Can't you stop it?" Zhang Lu was a little panicked.

"It's generally impossible to stop it?" Zhang Wei complained, then looked at Yan Pu, "But the court has been using troops against Jizhou and Yangzhou for a long time, so it should be no longer able to attack Hanzhong, right?"

"However, this is a matter of time sooner or later, we should make plans early!" Yan Pu reminded, "What we are most worried about at this stage is that the court discovers our original identity."

"I will be killed, I will be killed!" Zhang Lu moved back and forth in panic.

"I know, so don't panic first, sit down first!" Zhang Wei suddenly took action and pressed Zhang Lu down. The enemy had not yet been called, so what's the use of panic now?

"The probability is not high..." Yan Pu also felt that Zhang Lu was overly worried. "The master and the two uncles appeared as masked at the time, and did not face the imperial siege generals face to face, so the probability of being discovered is not high."

"The biggest problem is your side..." Zhang Wei looked at Yan Pu.

"I sued the Taiping Sect, and the court has pardoned my sins. Even if I was discovered, as long as I didn't admit it, I would naturally not involve my master and uncle." Yan Pu replied. Having said that, it took three years from the sued to the forgiveness, and it was not until the death of Emperor Ling. This process was released. If it were an ordinary person, life would definitely be worse than death.

At this moment, a man in his forties walked in and saw the three of them, and hurried over.

"Are they all here?" The man came to Zhang Lu with a smile.

"Husband, do you want a cup of tea?" Zhang Lu pointed to the tea table.

"I have already drunk afternoon tea and am trying to find you..." The man looked at Zhang Lu, "There is a gathering of gentry in Hanzhong tonight, and I'm afraid you can attend with me."

"Hey? Are you going to have a party again?" Zhang Lu was a little reluctant, but because of the difficulty of refusing.

"In order to make your position in Hanzhong more stable, you have to attend such parties." The man said slowly. Although his tone was gentle, his unquestionable attitude was very clear.

"Okay..." Zhang Lu had no choice but to nod and agreed.

"Military Yang, the issue of money and food in the army..." Yan Pu looked at the man.

"I'm following up. I've started planting high-yield crops this year. Considering the maturity period and pricing issues, the work is more troublesome than in previous years." The man waved his hand and left directly.

"This guy is becoming more and more arrogant with the sake of his elder sister..." Zhang Wei complained as he watched the man leave.

"But if he hadn't come forward, we were afraid that the three of us would not be able to establish ourselves in Hanzhong. The Yang family in Hanzhong is also a benefactor to our Zhang family." Zhang Lu replied helplessly, so in order to unite or thank her, she married Yang Song, the eldest son of the Yang family, who was the man just now.

"I just think that if you continue, it's not a solution..." Yan Pu said halfway, considering Zhang Lu's face, it's hard to continue. Judging from the recent investigation, Yang Song reselled military grains many times and replaced new grains with old grains.

All the money earned is subsidized to the Yang family. A typical family is more than anything else. At the same time, it is also a madman in supporting his sister Yang Bai. Yang Ren and Yang Ang, brothers of the same clan, cannot get his support.

"Marriage..." Zhang Lu sighed, "Isn't that the case? Actually, I envy you and your second sister."

"Sister, when did you..." Zhang Wei feel a little unnatural. How did her relationship with Yan Pu be discovered by the elder sister?!
