Chapter 42: Take Wudu County

Six days after Zhang Lu opened the city gate and surrendered, under the auspices of Liu Yu and Cai Yong, Guan Yu and Zhang Lu's sister Zhang Yulan tied the knot.

Just like Liu Yu's earlier information, Zhang Yulan is quite colorful, gentle and virtuous.

"Zilong, Fengxiao. Yun Chang is already married, do you two have to hurry up. Liu Yu teased Zhao Yun and Guo Jiadao.

Zhao Yun's face flushed, but Guo Jia was thick-skinned, and he said: "Big brother, Jia is drunk today, the flower building in Hanzhong County is much better than the broken place in Shangyong, Jia still prefers there, the matter of starting a family, and then come to urge Jia when the third brother is also married." ”

Guo Jia likes to be nostalgic for Hualou, not just to drink flower wine and the girls in it, but also to listen to gossip and so on from all over the world, so that he can analyze the situation in the world.

Hanzhong County leads 12 counties, with a population of 320,000, and the Hanzhong Plain is the granary, which is extremely rich.

In Hanzhong County, Liu Yu ruled over a population of 800,000, and his power was greatly expanded.

In order to better plot Guanzhong in the future, Liu Yu ordered Zhao Yun to lead an army of 20,000 to sit in the three counties of Shangyong, and then transferred the core of his rule from Shangyong County to Hanzhong County.

In Shu County, Yizhou, after Liu Zhang learned that Liu Yu captured Hanzhong and Zhang Lu surrendered to Liu Yu, he sent a messenger to ask Liu Yu for Hanzhong and Zhang Lu's family, but Liu Yu categorically refused.

"Hanzhong was won by the eldest brother's hard work, so Liu Zhang is really not a thing, so he asked for it when he opened his mouth." Guan Yu said angrily.

Guo Jia also smiled: "Liu Zhang's face is indeed big enough, I don't know why he thinks his eldest brother can listen to him." ”

Not to mention that the first county in Hanzhong is richer than Shangyong, Weixing, and Xincheng combined, and it has already crossed the threshold of a large county, even if it is only a barren county, it is impossible for Liu Zhang to ask for it with a word.

Liu Yu had other calculations in his heart, he only waved his hand and smiled: "I am also a member of the Han family, I don't want to offend him too much, so as not to talk about him in the world, just ignore him." ”

Liu Yu's attitude of not responding or explaining undoubtedly angered Liu Zhang even more.

Liu Zhang seems to think that Liu Yu took advantage of the opportunity when he beat Zhang Lu to a 'great injury', so he easily took Hanzhong, and since he killed Zhang Lu's mother, it was impossible to be good with Zhang Lu, and he would kill Zhang Lu, so he not only asked Liu Yu for Hanzhong, but also for Zhang Lu's whole family.

Liu Zhang sent another envoy to Liu Yu, and this time the wording was more intense than the last time.

Liu Yu still ignored it and didn't explain.

"He Liu Yu is too mediocre, I am the pastor of Yizhou, how dare he not take me in his eyes, I should ask him!" Liu Zhang was furious, and even gathered 30,000 troops to attack Liu Yu in Shu, threatening to teach Liu Yu a profound lesson, so that Liu Yu knew that the Han clan relatives also had 'identity'.

Hanzhong County.

Guan Yu was furious: "Big brother, then Liu Zhang is so shameless, just give his brother 5,000 men and horses, and my brother will kill him Liu Zhang." ”

Liu Yu smiled and said: "Second brother, don't be angry, this Liu Zhang is sending us young and strong people, which is a good thing." ”

Although there are already 800,000 people under his rule, Liu Yu does not dislike the population at all, not to mention the young and strong population, as long as the arrangements are properly made, it is not a problem to leave all the 30,000 troops of Liu Zhang in Hanzhong at a small price.

Last time, Liu Zhang's 28,000 army couldn't even defeat Zhang Lu, and now a mere 30,000 army dares to attack him, I don't know what to do.

Under Guo Jia's resourcefulness, Liu Zhang's 30,000 army was surrounded by Liu Yu's 50,000 army, except for more than 4,000 beheaded, the remaining more than 25,000 all surrendered, which can be called the annihilation of the whole army, and none of them were able to escape back to Yizhou Shudi.

When Liu Zhang learned of the battle report, his face turned pale with fright.

"Then why is Liu Yu so powerful?" Liu Zhang finally climbed, and he didn't dare to fight the idea of Hanzhong again, and now he not only didn't dare to attack Liu Yu again, but was afraid that Liu Yu would take advantage of the situation to attack Yizhou, and he didn't want to transfer troops to strictly guard against Shudi and Hanzhong Pass.

Of course, Liu Yu would not take the opportunity to attack Yizhou, but he fell in love with the west side of Hanzhong, which is also Yizhou, but is separated from Wudu County in Shu.

"Yun Chang, I'll give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, can you take Wudu County." Liu Yu asked.

"Big brother, Yu Ding lives up to his mission." Guan Yu excitedly said.

Zilong led the troops alone to sit in the three counties of Shangyong, and now the eldest brother sent him to lead the army alone to attack Wudu County, the eldest brother deliberately let him and Zilong be alone, and the eldest brother trusted him.

Guan Yu quickly led the troops to set off.

Wudu County is not a big county, although it leads eight counties, but the population is only 120,000, and because it is adjacent to the Di people, the Qiang people, half of the population is still Di and Qiang people, the real Han people are less than 60,000, the situation is quite chaotic, although it belongs to Yizhou, but Liu Yan didn't care much about this place at the beginning, Liu Zhang always ignored Yizhou and Wudu County.

"Kill!" The Taishou of Wudu County was beheaded by Guan Yu in just one round, and thousands of troops were scattered in an instant.

Guan Yu's attack was very smooth, after killing Taishou, the Han people of Wudu County almost no longer resisted, but the Di people, the Qiang people took the opportunity to make trouble, and Guan Yu was more behind the suppression of the Di and Qiang people.

Under Guan Yu's big sword, the rebellious Di and Qiang people were each killed more than 2,000 people, and the situation finally slowly stabilized.

Nearly two months after the dispatch of troops, Guan Yu finally led his troops back to Hanzhong from Wudu County.

"Big brother, fortunately, he has taken Wudu County." Guan Yu replied.

"Okay, Yun Chang has worked hard." Liu Yu laughed and praised.

In fact, Liu Yu has very evil thoughts in his heart about the Di and Qiang people, because these two clans are one of the five Hu in the future, if it weren't for the current defense of the princes, competing with the princes, and the world is undecided, he will definitely kill the Di and Qiang people with a river of blood, not just kill them three or four thousand.

However, don't worry, in the future, he will find the Di and Qiang people to settle accounts.

Guan Yu returned, and Liu Yu reappointed Yang Yan, who had not long been newly recruited, to lead 7,000 troops to guard Wudu County, and Guan Yu still sat in Hanzhong with him.

After taking Wudu County, Liu Yu already had five counties and thirty-six counties, with a total of forty-one cities and a population of one million.

Because Liu Zhang has contributed more than 30,000 'young and strong' before and after, Liu Yu can now easily collect 100,000 troops, of course, to divide the counties, he can really go out to expand the territory of the army is only about 60,000.

On Liu Zhang's side, Wudu County was lost, and Liu Zhang was completely locked in Shudi, Yizhou.

Of course, Liu Zhang had lost the confidence to attack Liu Yu, and he was even more afraid that Liu Yu would attack him, so he guarded several passes in and out of Shu in Hanzhong.

As long as Liu Zhang himself is not a demon, Liu Yu will not fight Yizhou's idea for the time being.

It is worth mentioning that after more than two years, the Ordnance Division was finally able to refine steel at a much lower cost, and the cost of building a steel sword was directly reduced from a hundred times that of an ordinary iron sword to about six times!

This is amazing progress, at least there is hope for the Modao Army that Liu Yu has in mind.

Liu Yu began to recruit manpower and fully supported the Ordnance Division to build the Mo Knife.

At the current price, he still can't afford to build tens of thousands of Mo knives, but it is not a problem to build a few thousand first.

At the same time, the situation in Guanzhong changed drastically, and Liu Yu's eyes began to be attracted by Guanzhong.
