張魯母始以鬼道，又有少容，常往來焉家，故焉遣魯為督義司馬，住漢中，斷絕谷閣，殺害漢使。 Zhang Lu’s mother practiced spirit mediumship and still looked young; she was a frequent guest in Liu Yan’s house, so Yan appointed Zhang Lu marshal of righteous command and posted him in Hanzhong. Zhang Lu sealed the mountain defiles and murdered imperial messengers.

璋字季玉，既襲焉位，而張魯稍驕恣，不承順璋，璋殺魯母及弟，遂為讎敵。 Liu Zhang, courtesy Jiyu, inherited his father’s post. Zhang Lu grew insolent and defied him, so Liu Zhang executed Lu’s mother and brother, and the two became bitter enemies.
