Meanness.

When Liu Yu heard what happened in Chang'an, he was not surprised by Dong Zhuo's death, because he had long known that there would be such a history, but he was extremely disdainful of Wang Yun: "Hehe, as soon as Wang Yun's words came out, it can be seen that Wang Yun was really carried away by Dong Zhuo's death and became stupid." It's not hard to imagine that Guanzhong will be chaotic, and my chance is coming! ”

It has been one year and nine months since Liu Yu annexed Weixing and the two counties of Xincheng.

A few months ago, Cai Yan's filial piety was over for a year, and Liu Yu had already informed the Wei family in Hedong, and asked for the consent of the Wei family and Cai Yong to marry Cai Yan, and the two got married a month ago, and Liu Yu finally ended his thirty-year life as a single.

On the night of the cave room, Liu Yu sighed more than once, it was not easy. Not to mention when I didn't come to the end of the Han Dynasty, in fact, after coming to the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu conquest of the Yellow Turban, quite prestigious, and later became one of the Shangyong Taishou, one of the princes of Dong on the Nineteenth Road, many big families have come to the door in the hope of marrying Liu Yu, if Liu Yu wants to marry, he will marry a few years ago.

However, due to fate, he will come to the end of the Han Dynasty, in addition to wanting to compete for the world, Liu Yu naturally aims at those famous beauties in the late Han Dynasty, such as Cai Yan, Zhen Mi and the like, how could they get married casually, and after waiting for a few more years, he finally let Cai Yan, the first talented woman in the late Han Dynasty, enter the cave room, no matter how you look at it, it is worth it.

As the lord has become a parent, if there are heirs, the hearts of the people under his command will be stable, and the cohesion will be stronger.

Now, the chaos in Guanzhong is a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to pay much attention. Liu Yu was ready to put it aside for the time being, because the good news he had been waiting for for a long time finally came from Hanzhong, and his opportunity to seize Hanzhong was about to come!

The camp of the Shangyong Army, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu are training without slackening.

In addition to normal military training, the two often learn from each other to relieve boredom, and over time, their martial arts have improved, but Liu Yu is involved in many military and political matters, and there is little time to learn martial arts, and it is not easy to improve in martial arts.

"Two generals, Lord Taishou has sent you to discuss the matter immediately." A soldier came to report.

Zhao Yun and Guan Yu were immediately shocked, and Zhao Yun said excitedly: "Could it be that there is finally good news from Hanzhong, the time has come for the eldest brother to take Hanzhong?" ”

Guan Yu said with a smile: "Third brother, don't you know when you go to the eldest brother first?" ”

Immediately, the two left the camp and went straight to Shangyong Taishou's mansion.

The house where Guo Jia lives.

Guo Jia is playing a set of 'Tai Chi' that is exactly the same as that of later generations. The movements are not fast, but Guo Jia is extremely proficient, and he must have been fighting for a long time.

A quarter of an hour later, Guo Jia closed his fist, and he smiled with admiration: "Although the action of this set of boxing techniques taught by the eldest brother is slow, it caters to Tianxin Dao, at least it is very suitable for lazy people like me who don't like big movements. My eldest brother always says that I am a great talent, but in fact, I know that my eldest brother is a real great talent. ”

At this time, a sergeant also ran in to spread the news: "Strategist, Lord Taishou has sent you to discuss the matter immediately." ”

"Okay, I see, I'll go right away." Guo Jia nodded, and then went to the Taishou Mansion not far from here with the sergeant.

When Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Guo Jia all entered the council room, Liu Yu informed them of the 'good' news that had just come from Yizhou.

Liu Yu said excitedly: "The second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan died, and his son Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne. ”

"Big brother, is this true, when will we send troops to attack Hanzhong?" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, he was extremely excited, he hadn't fought in the past two years, he felt that he was about to rust, and now that he heard Liu Yu say that the opportunity to seize Hanzhong had come, he immediately realized that there was going to be a battle soon.

Guan Yu was more steady, although he was also excited, but he was not as excited as Zhao Yun to ask about it, he just smoothed the long beard under Shun's red face, looked at Liu Yu, and waited for Liu Yu to speak.

Liu Yu looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Lu is a descendant of Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty, his grandfather Zhang Ling once founded the 'Five Dou Rice Sect' with others in Hanzhong, the ancestor of the Five Dou Rice Sect, after the death of his grandfather Zhang Ling, his father Zhang Heng inherited the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect, after Zhang Heng's death, Zhang Lu, who was only a teenager at the time, also inherited the Five Dou Rice Sect and became the new leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect. However, due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court suppressed the Wudou Mi Sect, and Zhang Lu was too young to control the situation, which caused the Wudou Mi Sect to be greatly damaged, and Zhang Lu had to leave Hanzhong with his mother Lu and move to the Shu County City of Yizhou to live. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia suddenly smiled a little differently, and he continued: "There is a saying, Zhang Lu's mother Lu is good at giving birth and raising, has a young appearance, and also coerces ghosts, and often comes and goes to the house of Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, and the relationship with Liu Yan is quite ambiguous. It was through his mother that Zhang Lu gained Liu Yan's trust, and finally relied on Liu Yan's strength to return to Hanzhong, rectify the Wudoumi Sect, kill Hanzhong Taishou Sugu, and Sima Zhang Xiu, another division who entered Hanzhong with him, seized his soldiers, and finally dominated Hanzhong. Later, Liu Yan found that Zhang Lu's power was expanding too fast and becoming more and more difficult to control, so he wanted to summon Zhang Lu back to Shu County and send someone to take charge of Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu also wanted to take his mother Lu from Shu County to Hanzhong. It is impossible for Zhang Lu to listen to Liu Yan's dispatch back to Yizhou Shu County, and Liu Yan is even more unlikely to let Lu go to Shu County and Zhang Lu to 'reunite', the two families have since started a gap, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and finally after Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang succeeded as Yizhou Mu, the two families completely turned their faces, Liu Zhang killed Lu and Zhang Lu still left in Shu County, and sent troops to recruit Zhang Lu. ”

Liu Yu said at this time: "Hanzhong is a must, just think about when to send troops." ”

The big war is about to start, and it is to expand the territory, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu's eyes are shining, looking at Liu Yu and Guo Jia, wondering when the troops will be sent.

Liu Yu asked Guo Jiadao: "Feng Xiao thinks that Liu Zhang's crusade against Zhang Lu can win?" ”

Guo Jia said categorically: "I can't win!" ”

Liu Yu, Zhao Yun, and Guan Yu were all surprised, and Zhao Yun was puzzled: "Why is the fourth brother so determined?" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Liu Zhang has four disadvantages. First, Liu Zhang had just succeeded as the pastor of Yizhou, and Yizhou was not stable, so he was in a hurry to kill Zhang Lu's mother, Lu, and sent troops to recruit Zhang Lu, which was a big taboo. Second, Yizhou is vast, and although there are many soldiers, it is impossible to send many soldiers and horses to defend the counties of Yizhou, and it is difficult to pass the Shu Road. Third, it is also difficult to transport grain and grass, and it may be difficult to maintain a long-term conquest. Fourth, in the end, I can't understand the above three points, which shows that Liu Zhang is incompetent. Let's talk about Zhang Lu, on the contrary, Zhang Lu has four advantages, one is that Liu Zhang's killing of Zhang Lu's mother and the family are too impatient and unkind, and Zhang Lu is more moral to fight back against Liu Zhang. Second, Hanzhong is the birthplace of the Wudou Rice Sect, Zhang Lu is the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect, and Zhang Lu governs Hanzhong with benevolence, which is very popular with the people of Hanzhong. Second, the main battle site is in Hanzhong, Zhanglu has a favorable geographical location, and the transportation of grain and grass is also convenient. Third, Hanzhong is rich and has a large population, Zhang Lu has nearly 50,000 soldiers, and Liu Zhang can send 30,000 to 40,000 troops out of Shu at most, and he is also at a disadvantage in terms of troops. Zhang Lu has the right time, place and people, how can he not beat Liu Zhang? ”

"Bonghyo analyzes it well!" Liu Yu said with a smile.

"The fourth brother is talented." Guan Yu and Zhao Yun also felt that it was extremely reasonable, Liu Zhang would definitely not be able to defeat Zhang Lu in this battle.

Liu Yu asked, "When does Feng Xiao think we should send troops?" ”

Guo Jia said: "It depends on whether the eldest brother wants to kill Zhang Lu or finally demote Zhang Lu." ”

"How about killing Zhang Lu, and what about lowering Zhang Lu?" Liu Yu continued to ask.

Guo Jia replied: "If you want to kill Zhang Lu, the eldest brother can take advantage of the fact that all Zhang Lu's troops are going to resist Liu Zhang's army, take the cavalry as the vanguard, quickly attack, and attack Hanzhong County with lightning speed. At that time, Liu Zhang's army will be able to easily destroy Zhang Lu. At that time, Hanzhong was already occupied by the eldest brother, and Liu Zhang had no reason to take Hanzhong, even if he wanted to, the tired division was not the opponent of the eldest brother. If the eldest brother wants to finally demote Zhang Lu, he can wait for Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang to divide the victory and defeat, and then send troops. ”

Liu Yu thought for a while, got up and decidedly said: "Since Zhang Lu is very popular in Hanzhong, and if he fights with Liu Yan to kill him, he will be hated by the people of Hanzhong, which is not conducive to governing Hanzhong, I will choose the second point and strive to make Zhang Lu surrender." ”
