Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

At this moment, there is also a meeting at Champion Hou's Mansion.

"Liu Zhang pays homage to the champion." Liu Zhang arrived as ordered, but his face was not happy, but weeping, as if his father had died.

Yes, can Liu Zhang be happy?
Gan Ning gave it to Hua Yu.

Wu Cheng also gave it to Hua Yu.

However, Hua Yu never mentioned the matter of letting Liu Zhang go back.

During this period, Liu Zhang also approached Hua Yu twice, but Hua Yu always said that the time had not come.

In order to appease Liu Zhang, Hua Yu invited Liu Zhang to the Champion Hou's Mansion for drinks many times, and every time he got Liu Zhang drunk, and it took him several days to recover.

Liu Zhang's heart was full of shadows, he was afraid of drinking with Hua Yu, that guy was too good at drinking, he was simply inhuman.

Therefore, this time Liu Zhang was invited by Hua Yu again. Liu Zhang didn't want to come, but he didn't dare not to come.

After Liu Zhang arrived, sure enough, two tables of wine and food had been prepared in the living room, and there was still time to drink.

Hua Yu smiled and said, "Ji Yu, please sit down."

"Thank you, Champion." Liu Zhang sighed helplessly and sat down.

Looking at Liu Zhang's expression, Hua Yu secretly laughed in his heart. This guy is too impatient and needs training.

No wonder, in history, when Zhang Lu was in a hurry to attack Yizhou, Liu Zhang couldn't hold back and invited Liu Bei to Sichuan to help him deal with Zhang Lu.

Liu Zhang's conditions for Liu Bei were 20 dendrobium rice, a thousand horses to ride, a thousand chariots to ride, and brocade and silk fabrics.

But Liu Zhang is not a generous person.

Calculate how much 20 hu is.

A dendrobium is ten catties, and at that time one catty was equivalent to 222.73 grams, so 20 dendrobiums were about 45.46 kilograms. ,

The number of Liu Bei's garrison in Jiameng is 3, that is to say, there are only about 15 kilograms of rice spread on each person's head.

How long is 15 kilograms of rice enough for one person?

It should be noted that the transportation of military rations in ancient times was the same.

What does that mean?

That is to say, only one-fifth of the food sent out can be transported to the front line after being consumed by people and livestock transported along the way, and the work of transporting food requires a lot of manpower.

In the Battle of Hanzhong in history, Liu Bei used almost the entire strength of Yizhou in order to fight against Cao Cao. The slogan was: Men should fight, women should be lucky.

But Liu Zhang did not give Liu Bei such great support, so Liu Bei could only ask Liu Zhang for the right to expropriate grain from the surrounding land.

In this way, that piece of land is equivalent to Liu Bei's.

As for Liu Zhang, he believed that logistics was in his hands, so he naturally felt at ease.

In a short while, the wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have tasted five flavors.

Hua Yu said with a smile: "Ji Yu, the Marquis invited Ji Yu to drink at the mansion today, because I have a happy event to tell Ji Yu."

happy event?

Liu Zhang's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "I don't know what the happy event is, but please let the champion know."

During this period of time, many things happened in Chang'an City.

Chuan Guo Yuxi turmoil.

Chang'an restaurant turmoil.

Yuan's rebellion.

The three clans went south, and Lu Bu set out to fight.

Of course Liu Zhang knew about these things, and Chang'an City was a bit chaotic.

Vaguely, Liu Zhang had an instinctive feeling that the time for him to leave Chang'an was getting closer.

Hua Yu smiled and said, "Of course it's about Ji Yu's return to Shu."

"Ah..." Liu Zhang couldn't help being extremely surprised.

Return to Shu, return to Shu.

Liu Zhang thought about it day and night, and it almost broke his heart.

It was finally coming, Liu Zhang was so excited, his heart almost jumped to his throat, and his voice trembled: "Really...really...really..."

Seeing Liu Zhang stammering, Hua Yu couldn't help laughing, and nodded, "Of course it's true."

"Thank you, Champion, Liu Zhang." After a long pause, Liu Zhang finally regained his composure, stood up hastily, and saluted Hua Yu.

Hua Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ji Yu, why should you be so polite, you and this Marquis can be regarded as good friends, and this matter is just a matter of my little effort."

Liu Zhang cursed in his heart, fart, since it is a matter of little effort, why did you keep me until now?

"What the champion said is true." Liu Zhang didn't dare to say what was in his heart, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "In the future, if the champion has time, he can come to Sichuan as a guest. Liu Zhang will definitely do his best as a landlord."

A guest in Shuzhong?
Hua Yu sneered in his heart. On the day Yu went to Shu, he would not be a guest, but raise tens of thousands of troops and go south to attack Shu.

After Gan Ning surrendered, something very similar to when Gan Ning defected to Sun Quan happened in history, that is, Gan Ning proposed to Hua Yu the strategic trend of dividing the world.

However, because the time has moved forward by more than ten years, the situation of the Han Dynasty is not the same as that of Cao Cao who has unified the north.

Hua Yu said with a smile: "It's natural, the time is ripe, and Ji Yu must be disturbed."

"However, the Marquis is in a difficult situation right now, and Ji Yu needs to help him."

Immediately, Liu Zhang's heart was suspended.

What else can Hua Yu not do?
Dong Zhuo is the one who holds the emperor in his arms.

Hua Yu is the most popular person in front of Dong Zhuo.

Hua Yu is also Dong Zhuo's prospective grandson-in-law.

Such an awesome character, what else can he not do?
Let me help, how can I help?

Is it difficult to let my father give up the power of Yizhou?
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang's heart immediately trembled, my father will never give up the power of Yizhou.

Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would have done it long ago. After all, my three brothers were in Chang'an as hostages at the same time.

Liu Zhang was afraid, but he couldn't escape. Looking at Hua Yu, he asked weakly, "Dare... dare to ask the champion, I don't know... I don't know what it is?"

"Liu Zhang lives in Chang...Chang'an. He hasn't... seen his father for many years. He doesn't... know much about the situation in Shuzhong."

Hua Yu rolled his eyes straight, this guy is too cowardly.

"Hehe, Ji Yu's words are serious." Hua Yu said with a smile, "This matter has nothing to do with Yizhou, but it has a lot to do with Ji Yu's departure from Chang'an."

This sentence immediately made Liu Zhang extremely nervous, and hurriedly asked: "Please tell the champion Hou, what is it?"

"How can Liu Zhang dare to solve the predicament of the champion?"

Hua Yu said with a smile: "I heard that under your father's command, there is an army called old soldiers. They are all old men. They are brave and good at fighting. They have always been used by your father."

"..." Liu Zhang was speechless for a while.

I don't know what old soldiers and old people are, but you are even more honest than me.

Hua Yu continued: "Ji Yu is returning to Shu. This Marquis wants to escort Ji Yu along the way, but he lacks soldiers, so he can only send Ji Yu out of Chang'an."

"Therefore, for the task of escorting along the way, it is only appropriate for your father to send five thousand soldiers."

Five thousand old soldiers?

Liu Zhang was taken aback. Didn't he just go back to Shuchuan? Why is it so grand?

"Champion Hou's words are serious, this time he will return to Shu..."

Before Liu Zhang could finish speaking, Hua Yu's face immediately turned down, and he said calmly: "Without the escort of five thousand veteran soldiers, this Marquis would never dare to release Ji Yu from Chang'an."

"Otherwise, if something unexpected happens to Ji Yu on the road, how will this Marquis explain to your father?"

"..." No matter how stupid Liu Zhang was, he could still understand that Hua Yu had a conspiracy.

Liu Zhang couldn't guess what the conspiracy was, but it must be to use these five thousand old soldiers.

"Here." Liu Zhang had no choice but to nod in agreement.
