Hanzhong County.

Knowing the current situation in Guanzhong, Liu Yu said with a smile: "Now there are only two people left in Guanzhong, Li Dao and Guo Yan, I think these two will turn against each other sooner or later, and then it will be my chance." ”

Guo Jia nodded, and also smiled and teased: "The eldest brother is right, Jiaguan Li Dao and Guo Yan will also turn against each other in the future, after all, the Son of Heaven and the court are in their hands, and the court should only have one person who leans towards the government and the opposition, and one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. ”

"Report! The lord, a member of the Juxian Pavilion, a native of Huainan Chengde, a descendant of Guangwu, surnamed Liu, Mingye, and Ziyang. Suddenly, a sergeant came to report.

Liu Yu was overjoyed: "Has Liu Ye arrived!" ”

Immediately went to the Juxian Pavilion with Guo Jia to meet Liu Ye.

Speaking of which, since the capture of Hanzhong and Wudu County, Liu Yu has already held a vast territory of more than 40 cities in five counties, and when the territory is larger, he feels that there are fewer people in his hands, so he asked Guo Jia if he had any 'classmates' with both talent and virtue, and asked Guo Jia to write a letter to recommend him to come.

Guo Jia recommended his friend Liu Ye, who he had made in the past.

Speaking of this Liu Ye, his fame in the late Han Dynasty is also very great, although he is a relative of the Han family, and is a descendant of Guangwu, but he clearly sees the decline of the Han family, it is difficult to continue, never selfishly think about the restoration of the Han family, only dedicated to seeking things for the benefit of the people, in history has been the elder of the three dynasties of Cao Wei, and was awarded the title of 'Jinghou' after his death.

In Liu Yu's eyes, Liu Ye is not a top strategist, he does not have the resourcefulness of Guo Jia, but he is a top talent in the logistics of Anmin's governance, that is, Xiao He's talent, to a certain extent, Liu Ye's role is even more than a top strategist.

When I arrived at the Juxian Pavilion and saw Liu Ye, I first had a routine examination and teaching, and then, Liu Yu named Liu Ye as the chapter of Hanzhong County, and was in charge of money, food and people's livelihood, which can be described as reuse, and Liu Ye was very excited.

In fact, Liu Ye is here, in addition to his friend Guo Jia writing a letter to invite, there is also Liu Yu's statement loudly, and he holds the five counties, Liu Ye feels that Liu Yu has a trace of brilliance, he sees the decline of the Han family, and does not force the restoration of the Han Dynasty as a thought, but if the Han family really has a talent for light and martial arts, he naturally hopes to assist such a person to reshape the Han family, and Liu Yu is a possible talent for light and martial arts in his eyes.

In the Juxian Pavilion, Liu Yu routinely tested Liu Ye's talents, didn't he know that Liu Ye also secretly tested Liu Yu's moral character, etc., to see if Liu Yu really had the talent of light and martial arts, there is no doubt that Liu Yu passed Liu Ye's test, so Liu Ye was willing to stay and assist Liu Yu.

"Lord, Ye recommends two people for you." After Liu Ye was convinced, he recommended Liu Yu with his hand.

Liu Yu's eyes lit up and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Liu Ye said: "One person is a native of Changyi, Shanyang, with a surname of Man, a pet name, and a name of Boning; One person is from Wucheng, surnamed Lu, named Qian, and the word Ke. ”

Full of favors, Lu Qian? It turned out that these two people were recommended by Liu Ye.

Liu Yu is overjoyed, full of favor, Lu Qianke are all famous cool officials and capable ministers around Cao Cao in history, full of favor is a cool official, if there is a brocade guard like the Ming Dynasty, full favor is the most suitable candidate for the commander of the brocade guard, without full favor, Cao Cao's rule in history will not be so stable; And Lu Qian is also the same as Liu Ye, a famous civil affairs talent, after conquering the city, he needs such talents to stabilize the people's livelihood and govern the people's livelihood.

Liu Yuxi said: "Ziyang is a great talent, and the person recommended must also have a great talent, hurry up and invite these two people to come, I will entrust me with a heavy responsibility." ”

Liu Ye bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”

About half a month later, Man Zhong and Lu Qian came to Hanzhong, and Liu Yu personally met him and entrusted him with important tasks as promised.

In addition to Liu Ye, Man Chong, and Lu Qian, there were also many talented people in Juxian Hall one after another, and Liu Yu finally felt that there were enough available people around him.

……

Ordnance Division.

Liu Yu, Guo Jia, Liu Ye, Guan Yu, Man Chong, Lu Qian were all present, Liu Yu played with this handle, the handle is two feet long, the blade is more than four feet long, and the total length is more than six feet.

Liu Ye was shocked: "Is this made of steel?" ”

Liu Yu nodded and said: "Yes, it is made of stainless steel, called 'Mo Dao', I want to establish a Mo Dao elite soldier to accompany me to conquer the world." After that, Liu Yu looked stunned, quite like a king.

Liu Ye was secretly frightened, and at the same time became more determined in his thoughts, Liu Yu was another brilliant talent of the Han family, and he also strengthened his belief in assisting Liu Yu to reunify the world and rejuvenate the Han family.

Looking at Mo Dao, Liu Ye sighed: "This is a peerless fierce soldier, if it becomes an army, the world will tremble." ”

Guan Yu was more excited than everyone else, looking at this Mo Dao, his heartbeat accelerated more than double, and his already red face was even more flushed. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his Qinglong Glaive Knife was not as good as this Mo Knife, and it was not as powerful as this Mo Knife.

Guan Yu pleaded to Liu Yu: "Big brother, I don't know if I can make a handle for Yu, Yu wants to change the knife." ”

Liu Yu's heart moved, and he smiled: "Of course you can, Yun Changli should use this Mo knife." ”

Immediately, Liu Yu ordered the Ordnance Department to tailor a Mo knife for Guan Yu according to Guan Yu's requirements.

At this moment, more than half a year has passed since the original method of improving steelmaking and being able to build a steel sword at five times the cost of making an ordinary iron sword, and Mo Dao has also created a thousand handles.

A thousand Mo knives can already preliminarily form a Mo Dao army.

It is said that creating this thousand Mo knives really cost Liu Yu countless money and food, and the mountain-like gold and silver wealth obtained by chasing and defeating Dong Zhuo at the beginning has almost used half of it, with his current ability, even if he exerts all his wealth, he can only build three thousand Mo knives at most.

Don't think that after improvement, you can build a steel sword at five times the cost of building an ordinary iron sword, just think that the cost of building a Mo sword is about the same as building five iron swords, wrong, the world is different.

You must know that the total length of a steel sword is no more than three feet, and the total length of the Mo knife is more than six feet, and the handle and blade are wider and thicker than the steel sword, so it can be said that the price of building a Mo sword is no less than the price of four steel swords, that is, the price of twenty ordinary iron swords.

Converted, to create 3,000 Mo swords, Liu Yu can create 60,000 iron swords, you can imagine what a big price.

That is, when he chased and killed Dong Zhuo, in addition to recovering a large number of people with money and food, he also seized a large number of ordinary ordnance, and there was no shortage of ordinary ordnance for the time being, otherwise even if he gave up those money and food, he would not be able to build a Mo knife.

Two days later, Guan Yu got the Mo knife tailored for himself, which is nine feet long, and the blade is wider and thicker, this is a real big killing weapon, if it is a battlefield fight, when it encounters a dense place of enemy soldiers, a knife can be slashed horizontally, or it can cut more than a dozen enemy soldiers, what kind of ferocity will it be!

Excitement is Guan Yu's only mood at the moment.

Guan Yu threw away his Blue Dragon Glaive Knife! turned to play and wielded the nine-foot Mo knife in his hand.

Who said that Guan Gong must play with a big knife, Guan Yu played a nine-foot-long Mo knife, and the power was even more terrifying, not to say big words, with this Mo knife, Guan Yu's strength soared, and even Zhao Yun may not be Guan Yu's opponent, and even said that only Lu Bu can fight with Guan Yu.

Now that there is a Mo Dao, the formation of the Mo Dao Army is ready to fly.

Guan Yu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to lead the Modao Army, Liu Yu appointed Guan Yu as the general of the Modao Army, and ordered Guan Yu to select 3,000 candidates as the Modao Army in the 100,000 army, first to build a thousand Modao relay training, and when all the 3,000 Modao swords are built, the Modao Army will also be officially formed into an army, roaring the world.

……

Just when Liu Yu was in full swing to form the Modao Army, Chang'an City actually sent an envoy to come.

It was Li Dao, and Guo Yan named Liu Yu as the general of Zhenxi and the Marquis of Hanzhong in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Although Liu Yu was disdainful, Emperor Han Xian was the nominal lord of the world after all, and he could get the name of the Marquis of Hanzhong, and his rule over the five counties of Hanzhong was more justifiable, so Liu Yu also seemed to respectfully receive the holy decree.

In fact, Li Dao and Guo Yan not only sealed Liu Yu, they also sealed Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, one for the Zhenbei general Jizhou Mu, and the other for the Zhendong General Yanzhou Mu.

The reason is that the invasion of Chang'an by the combined forces of Han Sui and Ma Teng made Li Dao and Guo Yan realize that they did not occupy Chang'an and could control the world, and the princes of the world had to listen to them.

Liu Yu was the first person they thought of, after all, he killed Huaxiong, fought Lu Bu, and defeated Dong Zhuo, the two of them were also hunted down and killed, and they were quite frightened of Liu Yu's might, and Liu Yu occupied Hanzhong, Shangyong and other five counties, which were extremely close to Guanzhong, if Liu Yu wanted to attack Chang'an, it would definitely not be more difficult than Han Sui and Ma Teng.
