Li Qi killed Yang Song, first of all, because Yang Song had no use value anymore, and as Li Qi said, such a greedy and unjust person would definitely be a troublesome person if he stayed. At the same time, he was also warning the people around him that he would betray his master.

People who do this usually don't end well.

Of course, these are not the point.

The point is that once Yang Song died, no one except a few of his confidants would know that the cause of the Northern Expedition to Hanzhong was not Zhang Lu's breach of the covenant.

Fa Zheng admonished: "Now that Zhang Lu retreats to Mianyang, he will definitely ask for help from Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao is far away in Liaodong, and Zhong Yao does not dare to move lightly in order to prevent Ma Teng from taking advantage of the situation. Therefore, my lord must ask for help from Cao Cao in Chang'an.

Completely defeat Zhang Lu before issuing the rescue order."

Li Qidao: "Zhang Lu won the hearts of the people for preaching the Five Pecks of Rice Sect. Although we eliminated his elite fighting force, we do not rule out that he will mobilize his followers to resist. These followers have little fighting power, but they are still common people in Hanzhong. If

If you kill too many people, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in Hanzhong in the future."

Fa Zhengdao: "Although these believers support Zhang Lu, they may not be willing to die for him. I think that the Five Pecks of Rice Sect is the foundation of Zhang Gongqi's life, and he will not easily let his followers die for him. This will damage his

Foundation.”

During the discussion, someone suddenly came to report that many Nanzheng people moved eastward with their families. When they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by General Wu Lan. However, the people did not compromise and had a conflict with Wu Lan at the city gate.

Li Qi, Fazheng and others heard about this and hurriedly went out to see it.

They knew Zhang Lu was popular among the people, but they didn't expect him to be so popular.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Li Qicai found that there were not many people who clashed with the guard. Many of them were just watching the excitement. When Wu Lan drew his sword, most of the people retreated.

Li Qi stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

Wu Landao said: "My lord, this person is Zhitou Dajiujiu who was taught by Zhang Lu. He wants to lead his troops to Mianyang to seek refuge with Zhang Lu."

Before traveling through time, Li Qi didn't know much about Zhang Lu.

On the contrary, when he declared war on Hanzhong, he deliberately learned about Zhang Lu and his Five Pecks of Rice Cult.

Although Zhang Lu's Five Pecks of Rice religion has the side of persuading people to do good, there are still many problems in using the doctrine to govern a place.

Those who have just come to learn Taoism are called "ghost soldiers" at the beginning; those who have accepted the Taoism and have already believed in it are called "jiujiu", and each of them leads the tribe; those who lead many people are called "zhitou big sacrificial wine". There are no local officials.

Local government affairs were managed only with sacrificial wine.

To put it bluntly, this is to develop the population.

If it reaches a certain scale, you will be a manager; if it reaches a certain scale, you will be a regional manager.

The so-called "Governing the Head and Offering Wine" is a bit like the level of regional managers. These people may have a certain understanding of Wudaomi Cult, but when it comes to managing local government affairs, they are like blind people weighing themselves, not knowing how much they weigh.

Li Qi ordered the soldiers at the city gate to put down their weapons, smiled and said to everyone: "I have always heard that your master is lenient towards others and encourages others to do good. If you follow Zhang Lu, you must also be kind-hearted and sensible people. If you are willing to continue practicing

I, Li Qi, will never interfere with the Five Pecks of Rice practice. But here is a question: If you really go to follow Zhang Lu and lose the fertile land at home, what will you eat in the future?"

Zhi Tou held a grand ceremony and said: "Master established a charity house and always kept rice, grains and cooked meat. How can we have no food to eat?"

Li Qi smiled and said: "In normal times, when the granary is sufficient, he can provide rice and grain for charity. Now that your master has retreated to Mianyang, I am afraid he no longer has the strength to provide free food and drink for everyone."

Fazheng also said: "I have also heard about charity houses, which are prepared for people on the road. Are you still planning to eat every day? Who can afford it?"

The congregants looked at each other, seemingly hesitant.

Zhi Tou held a grand ceremony and said, "We understand the teachings so well that we can ascend to heaven even if we have no food to eat. How can it be understood by ordinary people like you?"

Li Qi thought to himself that these guys were really stunned, and said: "Li said that if he is willing to stay in Nanzheng and live and work in peace and contentment, we will provide certain assistance. If he wants to follow Zhang Lu to Mianyang, I will never stop him.

.”

After speaking, Li Qi ordered Wu Lan to open the door and let him go.

Only Zhitou Dajijiu and his die-hard fans went out to join Zhang Lu. Most of the people still had no intention of leaving their hometowns. After Li Qi said this, they went back to their homes and worked peacefully.

When Nanzheng was established, Li Qi left Zhang Ren to guard the city, and together with Fazheng, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others led an army of 50,000 to attack Mianyang.

But it was said that Zhang Lu was waiting for Cao Jun to rescue him in Mianyang, but there was no news for a long time. When he was anxious, someone suddenly came to report that someone from Nanzheng was returning with Zhi Tou to offer wine and lead the crowd.

Zhang Lu felt a little comforted and went out to greet

The messenger added: "In addition to the large-scale wine ceremony, Li Qi's 50,000-strong army has also arrived at the city."

Zhang Lu: "Ah?"

So is the city gate open or not?

Come on, Li Qi took the opportunity to rush in!

Don't open it, your loyal fans are just outside the city, why can't you bear to watch them become Li Qi's target.

When he was hesitating, he heard Li Qi shouting outside the city.

Zhang Lu was in Yanpu, and Zhang Wei accompanied him to the city wall.

Li Qidao: "The members of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect are all innocent people, and I can't bear to kill them. You can open the city gate first and let the Zhitou large sacrificial wine into the city. I will never take advantage of others' danger and carry out a sneak attack."

Zhang Lu thought to himself, I believe you are a ghost!

But although Zhang Lu didn't believe it, he did believe in treating his head and offering wine as a sacrifice.

When they left Nanzheng, Li Qi said he would let them go as soon as possible, which was quite trustworthy. If Zhang Lu didn't open the city gate, he would be ignoring his own followers.

Zhang Lu said: "If you don't take advantage of others' danger, you can retreat ten miles before we can open the city gate."

Li Qi raised his hand and struck behind, and the whole army began to retreat in an orderly manner, and indeed they retreated ten miles away.

Many people didn't understand Li Qi's behavior. Since they didn't plan to attack the city gate, why did they rush here in such a hurry?

After coming over and retreating, didn't you take off your pants and fart?

Zhao Yun and Gan Ning didn't dare to ask. Only Meng Huo, a man with a straight heart, couldn't hold back his words and asked: "Lord, what are we doing?"

Fazheng smiled and explained: "This is an attempt to win over the people's hearts."

Meng Huo shook his head: "I don't understand."

Fa Zhengdao said: "If we don't retreat, Zhang Lu will definitely not dare to open the city gate. Now that we have taken into account the lives of the people and retreated ten miles, the people in Hanzhong will know about our Lord's benevolent heart. At the same time, Zhitou will offer a large sacrifice of wine."

We spared this life twice, does Zhang Lu still have the nerve to use these believers to pay for his life?"

Zhao Yundao said: "I definitely don't dare, otherwise Zhang Lu's reputation will be ruined, and it will reflect the benevolence of our Lord."

Meng Huo sighed: "You literate people."
