At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

"Did you see it? This is the waste you chose! The seat of the State Shepherd is better than letting me sit!"

Zhang Lu immediately grabbed Liu Mao, wishing he could kill him right away!

"You... what are you doing! Let me go!"

Liu Mao was so frightened that his whole body trembled, he quickly asked Jia Long and the other three for help, but unfortunately, these three looked at him with disdain, and didn't mean to speak for him at all.

The more Zhang Lu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he directly pulled out the saber from his waist, which frightened Liu Mao even more to death!

"Ah! You! You! What are you doing!"

Zhang Lu's eyes became more and more gloomy, and the long sword kept approaching Liu Mao. Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Jia Long on the side spoke.

"Prefect Zhang, it's almost done. Didn't we all agree? The state shepherd will be reserved for the descendants of the Liu family."

Liu Mao nodded to Jia Long as if he had found his backbone.

"Yes, yes! Mr. Jia is right, Prefect Zhang, let me go first, we have something to discuss!"

"Humph!"

Zhang Lu snorted coldly, threw Liu Mao to the ground, and spat in anger!

"What's the use of wanting this kind of trash? In my opinion, it's better to kill him and give his head to Liu Zhang, and say that his brother is a traitor, killing his father and mother, so as not to blame us!"

Liu Mao was extremely wronged, it was all Zhang Lu's conspiracy, how did he kill his own father and mother in the end!

Now that things have happened, Liu Mao is completely regretful! Why did I listen to Zhang Lu's slander!

And Liu Yan! If he hadn't been obsessed with Zhang Lu's mother, how could Zhang Lu have gained power in Guanghan County!

I thought that killing Liu Yan would make me the lord of Yizhou, but I didn't expect Zhang Lu to deny it the day Liu Yan died!

Why should Liu Mao be responsible for all the blame!

Liu Mao was dissatisfied, he wanted to refute, but when he saw Zhang Lu's cold eyes, he began to tremble deep in his heart again.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Jia Long spoke.

"Prefect Zhang, don't mention such things, we have discussed it, haven't we?"

Jia Long looked at Zhang Lu indifferently, not giving Zhang Lu any chance to kill Liu Mao.

It's not that Jia Long defends Liu Mao, but because of interests!

The position of state shepherd is taken by Liu Hao. Whether it is Jia Long, Zhao Wei, Ren Qi, or Zhang Lu, each person can serve as the prefect of one county at most. Power is roughly balanced.

But once Zhang Lu takes the position of state pastor, although there is no difference in reality, there will be a difference in status after all.

The state shepherd has great power, otherwise where did Zhang Lu's soldiers come from? Didn't Liu Yan come up with it secretly?

Jia Long knew very well the power of the State Shepherd's position, so he kept holding back Zhang Lu.

"My lords, it's a time of life and death. I don't have many soldiers anymore, and I don't own the entire north of Zitong! If you stand by and watch Liu Zhang grow bigger, then I have nothing to say! "

Zhang Lu is also a human being, he absolutely does not allow himself to face Liu Zhang and let the three of them sit on the sidelines.

"Hehe, Prefect Zhang always likes to be smart! Did I warn you at the beginning, don't trouble Liu Zhang, don't give him an excuse to attack Yizhou! You have to make up your own mind, which is why you ended up like this!"

Zhao Wei's face was full of sarcasm, as if Zhang Lu's life and death had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Lu didn't get angry, instead he showed a sneer,

"Master Zhao, haven't you read the imperial decree? Liu Zhang has long wanted to annex Yizhou. This is an indisputable fact! Do you think that if you don't provoke him, he will stay in Hanzhong safely? Stop dreaming!"

"Also, Mr. Zhao, don't forget that you want to be the prefect of Berkshire. Do you know that Berkshire is also connected to Hanzhong County! Maybe Liu Zhang's army has already marched from Micang Road!"

Zhao Wei stared at Zhang Lu unkindly, but said nothing. Obviously these words also hit his pain point.

Zhang Lu didn't allow anyone to stay out of the matter, and immediately looked at Jia Long and Ren Qi.

"Master Jia, Lord Ren, you are all top aristocratic families in Shu County and Qianwei County, do you really want to sit back and watch Liu Zhang move into Yizhou? Of course, you can sit back and watch us fight, but don't forget, after Guanghan County is completely occupied by Liu Zhang , Shu County and Qianwei County will be his next targets soon! By then, it will be too late for you to regret it!"

The three of Jia Long knew this in their hearts, so they were willing to come over to discuss countermeasures with Zhang Lu, instead of simply tearing each other down.

"Prefect Zhang, we can help you, but there is also a small request."

"Speak, don't hesitate, just speak!"

Zhang Lu knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and without enough benefits, Jia Long and the others would never send troops easily. What's more, the enemy is Liu Zhang, who is the incarnation of the undefeated God of War!

"Prefect Zhang, the governor of Guanghan County, is so comfortable, the three of us naturally want to experience the position of the prefect!"

Zhang Lu would never believe that Jia Long and the others just wanted to be the prefect. Jia Long and the others are at the top in their respective states and counties. They are not prefects in name, but actual prefects!

"this one?"

The three of Jia Long looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Just as Zhang Lu was about to agree, Jia Long spoke again.

"only…"

really! Zhang Lu snorted coldly in his heart, he knew it was not that simple.

"Master Jia, didn't I say it? Just say it, don't hesitate."

"Hehe, good, good!"

Jia Long smiled happily, his eyes narrowed together.

"We hope to have absolute autonomy in the county and be independent from the state shepherd's mansion!"

Big appetite!

Zhang Lu couldn't help scolding the three of them for being shameless. Isn't this equivalent to assigning Ba County, Shu County, and Qianwei County to them as emperors!

However, Zhang Lu did not refuse. He will not be able to reach these three counties for a while, and his own Guanghan County will not be guaranteed at any time. It is no longer Zhang Lu's decision whether to agree or not!

"Prefect Zhang, it's actually nothing. Don't you exist like this in Guanghan County? As long as you promise us, the three of us will each bring 20,000 troops to help you deal with Liu Zhang, how about it?"

Seeing that Zhang Lu was hesitant, Jia Long once again threw out an olive branch to tempt Zhang Lu.

"Okay! It's a deal! As long as you help me deal with Liu Zhang, these three counties will be your private property!"

Zhang Lu couldn't object at first, so he just agreed to take advantage of the situation!

"Okay! Eunuch Zhang is indeed straightforward! Then please ask Eunuch Zhang to issue an edict from the State Shepherd's Mansion."

Liu Yan died, and Zhang Lu controlled the operation of the entire State Shepherd's Mansion, which was why the three of Jia Long were wary. Without the edict from the State Shepherd's Mansion, the status of Jia Long and the others would be illegal.

Zhang Lu nodded, then looked at Liu Hao who was still sitting on the ground, feeling angry again.

"Idiot, what are you still doing sitting here? Didn't you hear what we said? Hurry up and make arrangements!"

How could Liu Mao dare to say no, he could only nod with tears in his eyes. Now that these four have formed an alliance, Liu Mao can no longer count on the three of Jia Long to save him!

"Yes! I'm going right now..."

Zhang Lu became more and more angry, he had already made a decision, as long as Liu Zhang was repelled, he would immediately kill Liu Mao to vent his hatred!

"The three prefects, I don't know how the soldiers are preparing? When will they be able to go out?"

The three of Jia Long got what they wanted, and naturally they would not refuse Zhang Lu's request.

"Don't worry, Zhang Taishou, the army will be ready to march in five days!"
