The army marched mightily on the Jinniu Road, out of the Qinling Pass, and entered the Hanzhong Basin.

After entering the Hanzhong Basin, the army continued to march towards Chuyang, where Liu Bei was the king at the beginning.

This time, Liu Bei led the army out of the nest, the vanguard has arrived in Chuyang, and the team behind has not even passed the Yangping Pass......

The scale of its army is so large that it is like a giant dragon that winds its way into Hanzhong from Yizhou.

The team of civilians accompanying the grain and baggage equipment is by no means comparable to the past.

In addition to the necessary formation, there are still many so-called "special forces", and Ji Han's special forces are not only the Wudang Fei Army, the Baiyu Army and the Red Star Army.

For example, Zhang Fei's "sudden general".

The soldiers of this army have been from the seven surnames of Langzhong since ancient times, and once they are conscripted into the army, they do not produce and focus on military training.

Although it is far less perverted than Liu Chan's Red Star Army, and the quality of individual soldiers is much worse than that of Red Star Soldiers, it is also a rare professional soldier today.

Moreover, this team has a long history, and the earliest can even be traced back to the period of King Qin Zhaoxiang four or five hundred years ago.

In the past, the Northwest Zhuqiang was not like now, and the well water of Yizhou did not interfere with the river water.

They also invaded Yizhou several times, destroying and plundering counties, but the result was-"After the board, they came to capture everything, and they were called divine soldiers." The Qiang people are jealous, and the language is passed on to the generations, so don't go south."

This Yizhou local elite smoked the Northwest Qiang fart and urine, and even called it a "divine soldier", passed down from generation to generation, warning future generations not to go to the southwest to send warmth......

Therefore, the special forces in this Langzhong also have nicknames such as "Divine Soldiers", "Ban Yu Man", "Strong-headed Tiger" and so on.

There is also the "Four Divisions" of Prime Minister Zhuge who formed an army from other Yi soldiers in Nanzhong.

In addition, the so-called "Tiger Infantry Army" is not Ji Han's Imperial Forest Army, which is completely different from Liu Chan's cognition in his previous life.

The Hubu Army was divided into three battalions, left, center, and right, and Meng Yan, the younger brother of Meng Huo, was promoted to "Hubu Supervisor" after Lao Liu ascended the throne, that is, the commander of this elite army.

Meng Shu also became a high-ranking official in the imperial history, which is undoubtedly a great honor and trust, and it shows the four words of employment to the fullest.

Seeing that Liu Han was rising day by day, Meng Huo also completely accepted his fate, tied the future of the Meng family tightly to the chariot of Liu Chan's father and son, and was ready to gamble.

And this also represents the thoughts of most of the Yizhou, Nanzhong families, and even the Yimin tribes.

In this battle, Lao Liu Ziyizhou brought a total of more than 80,000 troops, and he could also transfer more than 20,000 people from the Hanzhong garrison of Wei Yan and Ma Chao, totaling 100,000 soldiers and horses.

The three counties where Liu Feng is located can at least pull out a team of nearly 10,000 people.

It seems that the number of troops is not too much, but in fact, if the scope of mobilization is expanded, this number can be increased by at least three percent.

However, controlling this number is just enough to keep domestic production from being affected by the nerves.

100,000 troops have to be divided again, which is indeed not rich, and Fa Zheng took this into account from the beginning, so he was unwilling to advance in three ways.

However, Cao Pi had taken most of the troops away from Wu in a big way, and Liu Chan felt that in terms of numbers alone, it was very likely that his side would have a partial advantage.

"Adou, Hanzhong is very different from when I was a father."

Liu Chan was silently calculating the comparison of the forces of the two sides in this battle, and after entering Hanzhong, Lao Liu, who called himself to ride a horse together, had already launched a sigh of emotion by his side.

Liu Chan looked in the direction of the old Liu horsewhip, the once deserted and dilapidated land is now a neat and verdant green, and some thatched huts can be seen sporadically.

Some of the huts were smoky, apparently inhabited.

Occasionally, you can see people working in the fields, or children playing in the fields, watching the passing army from afar.

"Yes, when the child first came, he could still see white bones on the ground. Even when the battle of the mediocrity passed by, it was not like now. ”

Lao Liu's face showed a look of relief: "In a few years, maybe Hanzhong will be able to regain its former wealth......"

But then he sighed lightly: "It's just that the war is together, and we have to lose many lives and add countless broken homes." ”

“…… It is a blessing for the people to be able to live under the rule of their father. Liu Chan said calmly, "Long pain is better than short pain, my father doesn't have to be like this." If they don't sweep away the rebels in one fell swoop, their lives will be even more miserable in the future. ”

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Chinese people have begun a period of turmoil and darkness that lasted for nearly 400 years.

Class solidification, oppression of the powerful...... and a foreign massacre no less tragic than any later generation.

It was not until the establishment of the Sui Dynasty that the population of China began to grow and recover significantly.

And all this started with the return of the three families.

……

Liu Chan, who was thinking about how miserable the original historical trajectory was, suddenly found that Lao Liu had not moved for a long time.

He looked to the side and found that Lao Liu was staring at him incredibly, as if he had seen something rare.

“…… Did the child say something wrong? Liu Chan asked puzzled.

Lao Liu shook his head: "It's just that I didn't expect that one day I would be able to hear the words of compliments from your mouth." ”

"That's true." Liu Chan smiled slightly, and only used three words to shatter Lao Liu's gratification.

But immediately he withdrew his smile and said solemnly, "The child is just telling the truth. As his father said before he set out on the expedition, 'tigers and wolves are everywhere, feeding on the flesh and blood of thousands of Li Shu'......

Those who have not seen it may think that this sentence is an exaggeration. Only those who see know that when there is not enough food and grass, it is not uncommon to see people who use the flesh of the people as military food......

"If my father really takes pity on the people of the Han Dynasty, he should fight with all his might, so that more states and counties can return to the territory of my Han Dynasty, and more people will return to the rule of my Han Dynasty.

"If we can't recover the Han land this time, we will prosper again...... Then they will have to wait too long. ”

Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Yes, what Wu'er said is great benevolence and righteousness." When there is no war, the kindness of the woman will trap the people in fire and water. ”

……

When the Chinese army of Liu Chan and his son arrived in Chuyang, Ma Chao and Wei Yan had already led a group of Han lieutenant generals to greet them outside the county of Chuyang.

"Minister Ma Chao (Wei Yan), welcome Your Majesty and the Crown Prince!"

"Greetings to Your Majesty, Crown Prince!"

The generals bowed down, Lao Liu dismounted first and walked towards everyone, followed by Liu Chan.

"Excuse me." Lao Liu waited for everyone to get up, and walked to Ma Chao first and said strangely, "Meng Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but my complexion is much better." ”

Ma Chao's face was ruddy, and his eyebrows were no longer as full of resentment as before.

At this time, he smiled and said: "Thanks to the prince's persuasion several times, the minister has been reborn." ”

"Oh?" Lao Liu looked at Ma Chao, who seemed to be another person in front of him, and was surprised, "Meng Qi untied the knot in his heart, which is commendable." I want to go with Qing to fight Cao Wei here, are you willing to accompany you? ”

When Ma Chao heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Untying the knot does not mean that he has forgotten his bitter hatred for Cao Wei, and immediately hugged his fist: "I am looking forward to it all night, just wait for this time!" ”

"Okay, okay."

Lao Liu turned to Wei Yan again, patted him on the arm and said: "The scene in Hanzhong is very different from before, this is all the work of the chief, and Ruguo lives up to my trust." ”

Wei Yan was flattered and hurriedly said: "The duty of this minister also depends on the help of the prince and the prime minister...... General Ma supports, there is Hanzhong today, how dare the minister take credit. ”

Lao Liu looked at Wei Yan and was shocked again.

Wei Yan, who has always been extremely difficult to get along with his colleagues, is arrogant, and he mentions the prince and the prime minister, so he would bring Ma Chao in his words at such a time?

I thought that they were in the same territory of Hanzhong, and it would be good if the two of them didn't fight...... What happened between them?

However, Liu Chan, who felt Lao Liu's gaze, did not explain this, because he was as confused as Lao Liu at this time......
