In fact, according to the fact that in this life because of the flapping of Liu Yi's butterfly wings, and according to the fact that some historical events have been promoted more than two years earlier due to Liu Yi's relationship, Liu Yi is afraid that he is dead, or even if he does not die, he is afraid that he will die soon.

Because Liu Miao in history died of illness after being defeated by Sun Ce in 197.

But in this life, although he and Sun Ce had some small frictions, the two sides did not officially declare war, and Liu Yi deliberately left Liu Miao as a buffer between the New Han Dynasty and all forces, so Liu Miao has lived a very happy life in recent years.

He doesn't have many military horses, whether it's strong or not, and it's not too weak to say weak, but it's about 200,000 people. The general big forces, if they want to destroy him, they don't operate it, it's too small a move, and they can't do anything about him, but what about the small forces? and did not dare to provoke him. He guarded the Jianye area, left and right, and not only had close business contacts with the New Han Dynasty, but also had business contacts with Cao Cao's forces.

This is also Liu Xuan, after seeing that the general trend of the New Han Dynasty had been completed, and seeing that Jiangdong Sun Ce openly submitted to Liu Yi, he did not take any military action against him, and the New Han Dynasty did not issue a formal spy to him to persuade him to surrender to the New Han Dynasty, so he was content with the status quo and did not officially express his political intentions.

However, Liu Yi also knew that the reality made Liu Miao have no choice, he was located in the Jiangdong region, and there was no possibility of surrendering to Cao Cao, unless he fled north and gave up his foundation, otherwise, his submission to Cao Cao would be equivalent to capturing the tiger whiskers of the New Han Dynasty, and it would be equivalent to declaring war on the New Han Dynasty, which was definitely a dead end. Lewis believed. Liu Miao may still be lucky, at most he fantasizes that he and Cao Cao have forgotten him. After he and Cao Cao were defeated, they were powerless to deal with him. So. Liu Yi believed that as long as he sent a spy to him from the New Han Dynasty, Liu Miao could only adapt to the times and return to the New Han Dynasty.

Liu Yi's matter, when Liu Yi planned to return to Luoyang, he went to Jianye by the way to meet him, believing that everything could be solved smoothly.

As for some other mountain bandit forces, they are small forces in one city and one pool. Liu Yi believed that all it took was a letter of persuasion that they would submit to the new Han Dynasty. In this way, the New Han Dynasty completely completed the unification of the southern part of the Han Dynasty and truly completed the overall encirclement of Cao Cao in the Central Plains.

Now, Liu Yi only needs to wait for the new Han army in Yizhou and Hanzhong to complete its strategic purpose, recover Yizhou and Hanzhong, and transfer back the troops from these two battlefields, so that he can do so. It is also equivalent to liberating the entire Xiliang and even the entire Great Northwest of the New Han Army. When the time comes, the New Han Dynasty will be able to devote itself to solving Cao Cao, the most difficult problem of the Han Dynasty.

After reading some important information and intelligence in the Jiangdong area, mainly about Liu Xuan. Liu Yi didn't have to pay attention to the situation in the southern part of the country, Liu Yi just hoped that Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others would quickly solve the problem of the Shanyue people. It is connected with Jiaozhou, and so. It would also free up forces to attack from the south to the north.

Liu Yi believed that as long as the New Han army could fully concentrate its forces to put pressure on Cao Cao. Liu Yi even considered whether he could achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight.

After all, although Cao Cao is a hero who is unwilling to be subordinated to others, he is the one who has the most overall situation. It is worthy of the name of the capable minister of the world and the hero of the troubled times. Speaking of foresight and knowledge, I am afraid that Cao Cao has more vision than the entire Han princes, and it depends on whether Cao Cao can let go of the ambition in his heart.

Let's not talk about this now, and talk about the battlefield intelligence of Yizhou and Hanzhong, Liu Yi entered Yizhou under a pseudonym this time, and has learned the basic situation of Yizhou, especially after learning that Liu Bei is not dead, but has become the governor of the three armies of Yizhou, which involves Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Liu Bei's brotherhood, Liu Yi felt that he was not good at interfering too much, so he simply let Zhang Fei preside over the overall situation of attacking Yizhou, and in addition, Zhao Yun and some military horses were transferred from the north to support Zhang Fei.

In addition, Hanzhong learned that Ma Chao could not directly enter Hanzhong from the northwest of Xichuan, so he asked Ma Chao to turn to Hanzhong from the northwest. and let Guan Yu take up the army of Jingzhou and support Wei Yan, who was the first to march to Hanzhong, to attack Hanzhong.

But it's a pity that after Liu Yi came back from going to sea for a few months, the military horses in these aspects have not made much progress. Especially in Xiliang Ma Chao, he didn't make it to Xichuan, but he didn't make it to Hanzhong, which really surprised Liu Yi.

But Liu Yi didn't know that everything was taken for granted by him.

Influenced by various books about the Three Kingdoms in later generations, Liu Yi has always regarded Zhang Lu as Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Liu Xiang and the like, and has long regarded Zhang Lu as a delicious fish belly that can be eaten at any time. Moreover, Liu Yi has always been prejudiced against Zhang Lu, and he has not faced up to Zhang Lu at all.

But in fact, Zhang Lu is really not a fish belly. If you use another way of saying it, you may know that Zhang Lu is really not simple. He, in fact, is the second Zhang Jiao in the Three Kingdoms era. Even, his origin is much bigger than relying on some swaggering tricks to appeal to believers.

Zhang Lu, the word Gongqi. His ancestral home is Peiguofeng County (now Feng County, Jiangsu). The warlord who seized the Hanzhong area in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is rumored to be the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of the Western Han Dynasty, and the grandson of Zhang Ling, the ancestor of Tianshi Dao (Wudou Mi Dao). Zhang Lu was the third-generation Heavenly Master of Wudou Rice Dao (known as the Department Master), and after killing Zhang Xiu, he continued to spread the Wudou Rice Dao in the Hanzhong area, and called himself 'Shijun'. Xiongzhong for nearly 30 years, after surrendering to Cao Cao, the official worshiped the general of Zhennan, sealed the Marquis of Langzhong, and ate 10,000 households. After Zhang Lu died, he was called 'Yuan' and was buried in the east of Yecheng.

In the first year of Yuan Wuzong (1308), Zhang Lu was posthumously awarded the title of 'Zhengyi Shitai Qing Zhaohua Guangde Zhenjun'. There is an opinion that Zhang Lu is the author of "Lao Tzu Xiang'er Note".

Take a look, the tenth grandson of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of the Western Han Dynasty, the grandson of Zhang Ling, the ancestor of the Heavenly Master Taoism, and the third generation of the Heavenly Master of the Wudou Mi Sect.

At this time, Hanzhong had been run by Zhang Lu, and it was a rare unified regime in Chinese history that integrated politics and religion. The Five Buckets Rice Sect, borrowing the political power, has expanded its influence, and its followers enter the Tao and only need to hand in the Five Buckets of Rice to enter the Church. In addition, Zhang Lu is in Hanzhong and calls himself a gentleman. There is no official position, only sacrificial wine. Beginners. Called a ghost pawn, he accepted the teachings of the Five Doumi Sect. It is a sacrificial wine, and a higher level is a large sacrificial wine, and more people in the collar department are "the head of the great sacrificial wine". There are no chiefs, and local government affairs are managed with sacrificial wine. Inheriting the teachings of his ancestors, the people are honest and do not deceive, so that the sick will surrender themselves; The offender is lenient three times, and if he repeats the offense, then the punishment is increased; If it is a minor offense, then build a hundred steps of the road to atone for your sins. and in accordance with the Monthly Order. In spring and summer, when all things grow, slaughter is forbidden, and alcohol is forbidden. He also founded the righteous house, which included righteous rice and meat for passers-by to eat for free, and declared that if he obtained too much, he would offend the ghosts and gods and become ill.

In this way, when Zhang Lu won Hanzhong in the early years, it coincided with the period of great chaos in the world. At that time, Hanzhong, which was relatively stable, also attracted many refugees to flee to Hanzhong, especially the people in the Kansai region. There are tens of thousands of people who fled from the Meridian Valley to Hanzhong, and the number is afraid that there will be hundreds of thousands.

Zhang Lu also had the support of the leaders of the Bayi ethnic minority, Du Hao, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue, and others. He adopted a policy of leniency to rule Hanzhong, and 'the people were happy'. 'Those who are sent to their land. Don't dare to disobey'. Goto Mido expanded its influence with the power of the regime.

At this time, it was the most unified in Hanzhong. The belief in Zhang Lu is also in a period of the most trust.

And there is. The Hanzhong region is more closed than Yizhou, and the most important thing is that most of the people in the Hanzhong area have joined the Wudoumi Sect and believe in Zhang Lu, the master of Zhang Junshi. In addition to farming, he usually listens to the five buckets of rice to teach the doctrine and learn the Tao. I don't pay attention to too much information and intelligence from the outside world at all. And it is difficult for information from the outside world to penetrate into Hanzhong.

Compared with the Xichuan Pandi, Hanzhong is a small land, and the land in its area is relatively fertile, so if the people of Hanzhong are diligent in farming, there is no problem for the people of Hanzhong to be self-sufficient. Especially for those people in Hanzhong who have joined the Five Buckets of Rice Sect, they pay five buckets of rice when they join the Sect, and they don't have to pay anymore in the future. This situation made the people of Hanzhong feel satisfied and satisfied, and it was much easier to live.

Under such circumstances, Wei Yan, who first led the army to attack Hanzhong, encountered fierce resistance from Zhang Lu's military horses and ordinary people in Hanzhong. And because Liu Yi himself didn't expect this situation, he didn't specifically tell Wei Yan, a guy who was eager to establish military merits, about something. In this way, under the fierce resistance, he actually ordered the army, regardless of 3721, but all those who resisted the New Han Army were killed.

At this moment, on the contrary, the people of Hanzhong were stimulated, they were afraid that the powerful New Han army would kill innocents indiscriminately after entering Hanzhong, and they were in a period of great devotion to the Wudoumi Sect, under the propaganda of Zhang Lu's believers, the New Han army had been scandalized into a bandit army without evil, so that Hanzhong was united and resisted step by step to block the attack of the New Han army.

And after Guan Yu led Jingzhou's military horses to support Wei Yan, he found out that the situation was wrong, many of the people who resisted the attack of the New Han Army were ordinary people, so how could Guan Yu raise a butcher's knife against those ordinary people? In this way, just like Zhang Fei and Liu Bei, the two armies were at a stalemate.

After reading the information and intelligence, Liu Yi couldn't help but scratch his head, in the face of such a situation, he actually had no better way. Liu Yi has not yet really, formally contacted the Wumi Sect, but Liu Yi also knows that whether it is Buddhism or teaching, or Taoism, especially in this ancient era, as long as it is slightly involved in the relationship between gods and ghosts, and their teachings are not too excessive, they have their merits, and when they are implemented, they can barely act according to their teachings. In this way, it is naturally easy to gain a large number of believers.

This kind of religiousness, once it becomes a belief, is tantamount to brainwashing. Either way, it's actually pretty crazy.

Therefore, if you want to solve the problem in Hanzhong, I am afraid that you have to find a good way.

In addition, Liu Yi also sent some mountain topographic maps of Hanzhong to Liu Yi by sending Qu A, and Liu Yi found that the mountain topographic maps of Hanzhong and Yizhou that he sees now are indeed very different from those of later generations. Perhaps, it is not that the mountain landscape has changed too much after more than 2,000 years, but that there are many places where there is no way out at all.

From Hanzhong to the Kansai region, it is not that there is no road, but almost all of them are dangerous mountain roads, and the easiest to pass is the Meridian Valley Road, but it is still difficult for people and animals to walk. In addition, although there are still roads, but it is even more difficult to walk, I am afraid that no one will walk from those deep valley roads in ordinary times, and there are some dangerous Xiongguan guards, and the new Han army wants to directly pass through the Qinling Mountains from the Chang'an Pass to Hanzhong, which is unlikely and unrealistic.

In this way, the only way to enter Yizhou and Hanzhong is from the junction of Yizhou and Hanzhong, from the line of Qishan, but if this can be done, Ma Chao's Xiliang Army has already entered Yizhou, and there is no need to wait until now.

Of course, Liu Yi could not say that Ma Chao's Xiliang side of the New Han Army was ineffective, in fact, it was indeed the terrain that greatly limited the movement of the New Han Army.

Liu Yi really didn't know, in fact, Mo said that now let the Xinhan army cross the heavy mountains from Xiliang to fight in Xichuan. Even in the Hereafter, it will be difficult.

That, the most famous 25,000-mile Long March in later generations, the Red Army did not enter Xichuan, but bypassed from Guizhou and Yunnan, but even so, it had to experience the difficulties of snow-capped mountains and grasslands. Countless warriors were sacrificed, and in the end, only a part of the men and horses were left to successfully reach their destination.

Also, if Xichuan can be attacked from the northwest, then when the Yuan Dynasty wants to capture Xichuan, it will not have to be so hard.

Therefore, Liu Yi will not blame the generals below for their ineffective combat, but can only say that Liu Yi greatly miscalculated the difficulty of seizing Xichuan and Hanzhong earlier.

However, Liu Yi's plan to march into the world has actually been carried out, so the time has really come for the Han Dynasty to be unified, and the civil strife of the Han Dynasty can no longer be dragged back. Therefore, the declaration of war on Cao Cao is imminent, so the problem of Yizhou Hanzhong must be solved first.

Only by solving the problem of Yizhou Hanzhong can Liu Yi devote himself to the decisive battle with Cao Cao. The military horses of the New Han Army can also be truly liberated and participate in the final decisive battle of the unification of the Han Dynasty.

As soon as Liu Yi thought of this, there were nearly a hundred beautiful Japanese women in front of him, and he didn't have the heart to be happy. Within a few days, Liu Yi decided to return to Xiangyang from Qu'a immediately and go to rendezvous with Guan Yu to see how to break the deadlock in Hanzhong. (To be continued......)
