Hearing that Zhang Lu was completely moved, he realized that this might be his chance!
Instead of forcing Zhang Lu to make a decision immediately, Cao Ang gave him a day.
The next day, Zhang Lu came to Cao Ang and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness, General. Zhang Lu intends to submit to the imperial court completely. From now on, he will not ask about his official career, and he will focus on preaching and solving doubts for the people. He will follow the lead of the general!"
Cao Ang is very satisfied with this result. So far, everything has gone smoothly. Hanzhong, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, has been settled without bloodshed or cost.
Maybe it's too early to say these words now, after all, the army of downloaders hasn't officially settled in yet.
However, now at least Zhang Lu has been subdued, and the next thing will become much easier.
Zhao Yun and Lu Wen were stunned by Cao Ang's coquettish manipulation.
They have seen and read a lot of the means of negotiating to persuade surrender and coercion and inducement.
But incarnation of a magic stick, dominating the mist and flickering, can make people willingly surrender?
This is really unbelievable, this is really unimaginable, Lu Wen is amazed, it's really a hell!
Zhang Lu was willing to believe it!
Zhao Yun fell into deep thought: "I think the system of the general is very good. It not only explains the birth and mystery of the universe, but also makes people full of yearning and awe for the world before and after death. I have a feeling to believe in it." Feel."
Indeed, how big is the world, how did it come to be, and how will it end?How did man come about, and where did he go after death?Who was me before giving birth to me, who am I after giving birth to me, and why am I me?
Problems like this, everyone has more or less.
Everyone is thinking, everyone can't find the answer, it is inevitable to be afraid of death, and it is inevitable to be confused about the world. When life encounters setbacks, when suffering from created diseases, they all seek spiritual support.
Cao Ang’s theory is not entirely superstitious. It differs from the beliefs of later generations in that it abandons many superstitions and ignorance and integrates advanced cosmology and scientific views. I hope to see Zhang Lu integrate and promote it.
Cao Ang believes that one day there will be blond missionaries with celestial master crowns on their heads, floating dust in their hands, mahogany swords on their backs, and apricot-yellow robes with Tai Chi pictures on their backs.
They are not afraid of hardships and dangers, overcome all difficulties, trek across mountains and rivers, and take the initiative to go to every unexplored corner of the world.
They actively spread the deeds of Hongjun ancestors to the local people, the story of Nuwa's creation of human beings, described the great civilization of the Central Plains, taught the local people to write Chinese characters, built Taoist churches, and burned incense and prayed devoutly.
Whether it is the common people or officials, they all believe that there are gods standing above their heads, that the good fortune in this life is the good cause of the previous life, and that the suffering in this life is the evil of the previous life.
In order not to be too unsightly about meritorious deeds, so as not to be reborn as pigs, dogs, or poor people suffering from many disasters and diseases in the next life, so as to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, whenever you have evil thoughts and attempt to do evil deeds, you will be afraid.
That said, it's still pretty good.
If it can really become like this, then it is not in vain to do a good thing, and the impact on human civilization has already reached a pivotal level.
If you look at it this way, the meaning of Zhang Lu is really too great!
If Cao Ang took Zhang Lu under his command, it would be equivalent to recruiting thousands of troops.
Afterwards, the news that Zhang Lu was surrendered by Cao Ang quickly spread to Nanzheng.
After Zhang Wei heard the news, he was very angry in his heart, and then angrily scolded: "Brother is confused!"
Zhang Wei can be said to be furious now, and his whole body is focused on the main battle, how can he not be angry?
Why did Zhang Lu surrender when he said he would surrender?
Because Zhang Lu was obsessed with preaching, he handed over all the military and political affairs to Zhang Wei to manage.
And Zhang Wei has also become the No. [-] figure in Hanzhong, equivalent to half a prince.
Not everyone wants power like Zhang Lu.
Power is an addictive thing, and the vast majority of people don't want to give up after tasting the taste of power, because this thing is so tempting.
Furthermore, now that Zhang Lu has given up his power, he can become a marquis and then enter the court as an official.
He, Zhang Lu, can still enjoy the glory and wealth, and he can continue to do the great cause of the Zhang family's evangelism, but what can he, Zhang Wei, do?
The imperial court now only recognizes Zhang Lu. For Zhang Lu, nothing will change, it's just a change of camp.
And what about Zhang Wei?
Giving up one's own rights and surrendering one's own army, what can this finally do for oneself?
Although Hanzhong County is only a small county, it has a population of 10,000+ no matter what, and there are mountains and mountains as the barrier.
Even if there is no way to call Frost the World, there is no problem at all with a separate regime.
How comfortable it is to be a local emperor, why should he surrender to the court?
What's more, he is still the lackey who watches the faces of the Cao family and his son eat.
After calculating such a loss, none of the main fighters were willing, and then they began to discuss the strategy.
Zhang Wei then said in a deep voice: "Master must have been intoxicated by Cao Ang, that's why there is such a situation. You are all members of the main combat faction. Let's all speak freely, what should be done in such a situation."
Afterwards, the people who conspired began to express their thoughts.
...
Chapter 242 Faith
"This is a stubborn opportunity! The master has announced his surrender now, so Cao Ang must have relaxed now, so we can wait here in Nanzheng, and when he comes, we will capture him immediately!"
"This method is good. Once Cao Ang dies, no matter what the master thinks, it doesn't matter anymore. The court will definitely send troops to us crazily, and the only way left for us is to cooperate with Liu Zhang and Liu Biao to defend against the enemy together!"
Hearing this, Zhang Wei was very satisfied, and then nodded, because he thought so too.
If Cao Ang can be beheaded, then the Cao family will definitely not let it go, no matter how Zhang Lu explains it at that time, it is impossible to turn back,
And once Zhang Lu falls into Cao Cao's hands, he will definitely be punished for exterminating the nine clans.
Then Zhang Lu had no other choice but to choose to resist Cao.
Although the plan was very good, Zhang Wei and the others couldn't imagine what position Cao Ang had in the hearts of the common people, the court, and Cao Cao.
Let's not talk about whether their plan will be successful, even if it is really implemented successfully, it will directly stab the hornet's nest.
Not only would Cao Cao go completely mad, but the entire imperial court and soldiers of the three armies would avenge Cao Ang, and even the people in Hanzhong would rebel directly.
And at that time, waiting for Zhang Wei and others was a dead end, and the speed was very fast.
However, these people are already doing anything for their own interests, and they are even more desperate for their own interests.
Zhang Wei's only concern is: "Although we can wait for a rabbit and kill Cao Ang here, if we kill Cao Ang, we may not be able to bear the wrath of Cao Jun!"
"It's not too difficult. At that time, we can send help to the heroes in Guanzhong. As long as Guanzhong is willing to send troops through the Ziwu Valley to support our army, Cao Ang is dead and Cao's army is in a state of turmoil. It is defeated!"
