Chapter 511 Zhang Tianshi's Journey to the West? Cao Cao's Sixth Brother is on the Move!
In short, the imperial edict was a commendation and reward for Zhang Lu.
Whether or not it passed through Liu Xie's hands is not important.
Given Zhang Lu's status, he naturally became one of the Nine Ministers after surrendering.
Although it's a leisurely government position, a job meant for retirement, it's still much better than most people's jobs.
In addition, Zhang Lu also received a corresponding noble title and a fief.
But compared to these worldly things, what our Celestial Master Zhang cares about most is the "Ambassador of the Way" that Su Yu mentioned!
Su Yu, beaming with excitement, began to deceive Zhang Lu:
"Brother-in-law, do you know how big this world is?"
No matter how powerful Zhang Lu's Taoist skills were, he had never encountered such a question before, so naturally he couldn't answer it.
Then, to Zhang Lu's astonishment, Su Yu pulled out a hand-drawn world map.
Hmm, this map was drawn by Su Yu, and it's quite abstract, perhaps even worse than a child's work.
However, the location and proportion of the Han Dynasty on the map can still be seen from the map itself.
"Brother-in-law, don't you want the doctrine of 'Five Pecks of Rice' to spread to more places?"
"Are you going to stand by and watch the people in other places suffer while the rulers remain indifferent?"
"Dear brother-in-law, you are still young, and this is the age to strive for your career!"
"Think about the original intention of the Five Pecks of Rice, and think about the dying instructions of the Old Celestial Master (referring to the founder Zhang Daoling) to the successors of the Five Pecks of Rice."
"Brother-in-law, you still need to work harder!"
The words fell.
Zhang Lu clenched his fists, his heart surging with emotion, his eyes turning bloodshot.
If Su Yu were to take out some mundane items...
Even titles of nobility and the position of one of the Three Dukes would not greatly affect Zhang Lu.
But Su Yu pulled out a world map!
The thought of the vast area to the west of the map made Zhang Lu's restlessness uncontrollable!
We must make the "Five Pecks of Rice" tradition flourish!
This is Zhang Lu's true feeling at this moment.
Therefore, Zhang Lu would rather suffer more hardships than Ban Gu did when he was sent to the Western Regions!
Seeing that Zhang Lu had been fooled, Su Yu felt very gratified.
After returning, you can have Xi Zhicai write an article for the Central Plains Daily entitled "Zhang Tianshi's Journey to the West".
Let's assign a few more assistants to our Celestial Master Zhang.
A combination of one monkey, one pig, one horse, and one person could be considered.
Monkeys, pigs, and horses are easy to get; as for that person, we'll choose from the Minister's office later.
In any case, everyone in the Minister's mansion is a superhuman with amazing stamina.
We can look forward to seeing which adorable little one will ultimately get the chance to leave the Minister's mansion and accompany Zhang Tianshi on his travels!
Su Yu believed that Zhang Lu, who actively spread the word, would become a being who surpassed "the Lord of Pain"!
Rest? How dare you rest?
There are still tens of thousands of miles to go. If we don't hurry, how can we reach more places in a limited time?
Therefore, this would be a very suitable position for talented young people.
Talented individuals from the Ministry of Personnel are welcome to participate; recruitment will be conducted exclusively from within the Ministry of Personnel!
……
Zhang Lu, who was fooled by Su Yu, completed the power transfer in Hanzhong very smoothly.
They were even eager to set off the very next day to spread the word in the west.
This made Cao Cao feel somewhat guilty.
Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, Cao Cao put his arm around Su Yu's shoulder and whispered:
"Ziyi, aren't we taking advantage of an honest person a bit too much?"
Su Yu smiled and said:
"My lord, do you have any morals?"
Cao Cao fell into deep thought and gave an answer that left Su Yu speechless.
"It used to exist, but later... what's the value of morality?"
The two exchanged a glance, then secretly glanced at Zhang Lu, who was eagerly anticipating embarking on his westward journey, and nodded emphatically.
Someone always has to bear the burden on this path.
We believe that our Celestial Master Zhang will be able to bring this good news to more places!
……
Zhang Lu officially entered human-machine mode, spending all his time holding a world map and unable to put it down.
Meanwhile, Cao Cao, Su Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and other "famous sixth-ranking members of Cao Cao's camp" were also discussing Liu Bei in the council hall of Nanzheng City.
Cheng Yu smiled and said:
"That new strategist Liu Bei has acquired is quite capable."
"By stationing troops at Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain in advance, we have gained a geographical advantage."
"If we are not so decisive, once the battle begins outside Nanzheng City, the advantage will fall entirely into our hands."
"In that case, this battle is quite interesting."
"However, if a direct assault is not advisable, I think we could consider sending an army skilled in mountaineering to flank Liu Bei's army and cut off their supply lines."
"Without food, Liu Bei's army had no choice but to eat animals from the mountains."
"After the animals on the mountain have eaten their fill, they can only eat grass."
"If the grass is all gone, then... hmph!"
Su Yu quickly stopped Cheng Yu from continuing.
"Zhongde, your thinking is really too dangerous!"
"Although it will definitely work, the ecological environment of Dingjun Mountain over the years will be completely destroyed!"
"I've heard Zhang Lu say that the pheasants from Dingjun Mountain are absolutely delicious."
"Whether roasted, grilled, or eaten as pheasant eggs, they are all delicacies."
Guo Jia echoed:
"Yes, this is too much trouble."
"Why don't I lead the gold-digging team and some of the navy, take the waterway into Sichuan, and rob all those guys' graves!"
Jia Xu pointed at Guo Jia and sighed:
"Fengxiao, you've really gone crazy from tomb raiding."
"Where would a man from Dongzhou under Liu Bei's command have a grave in Yizhou?"
"This trick won't work on the people of Dongzhou, it will only work on the people of Yizhou."
As he spoke, Jia Xu's voice gradually faded, then suddenly his eyes lit up:
"This tactic could be used to coerce the people of Yizhou."
"They already harbored resentment towards Liu Bei."
"If we continue to assist Liu Bei, we'll rob all their tombs!"
Strangely, the people present were not shocked at all by such an immoral scheme; instead, they took it for granted.
Sure enough, they're all a bunch of immoral bastards, colluding with each other and doing the same thing.
Finally, the group turned their attention to Su Yu, hoping he would present some innovative ideas.
Su Yu smiled and said:
"Su was just thinking about a question."
"Since Dingjun Mountain and Tiandang Mountain are so difficult to attack, why bother attacking them?"
"In mountain warfare, with Liu Bei's army holding the advantage of terrain, the battle situation will be unfavorable to our army."
“Even if our army has slightly more troops than Liu Bei’s, the casualties will still be considerable.”
"Since that's the case, why not..."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise.
As expected, the most immoral person is Su Yu!
Compared to Su Yu, everyone actually felt that they were quite well-mannered?
of course.
Su Yu merely went a step further on the foundation laid by his predecessors, integrating their wisdom.
Otherwise, he alone wouldn't have gone so far down the path of the sixth brother.
Poor Zhuge Liang and poor Fa Zheng, they are about to be subjected to a storm, yet they are completely unaware of it!
