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

After dealing with Hongnong's affairs, Hua Yu didn't stay in Hongnong any longer.

After dinner at Zou's house, Hua Yu sent someone to call Zhang Liao over to have dinner together.

Early the next morning, Hua Yu returned to Anyi, only to see Dian Wei and Gao Shun staying in Hongnong.

Last night, Hua Yu thought about it again, and then decided to keep Gao Shun and the trapped camp in Hongnong, and hand them over to Zhang Liao to command.

Gao Shun stayed here first, and after Hua Yu returned to Anyi, he asked Gao Ya and others to lead the trapped camp south to join Gao Shun.

Being trapped in the camp can not only restrain the cavalry, but also deal with the infantry with ease.

Therefore, Hua Yu is going to put the trapped camp here, and first accumulate combat experience in the Battle of Nanyang.

As for the cavalry in the north, Hua Yu planned to use the death-defying troops of the Huns, Xianbei, and Wuhuan as the vanguard.

But when Hua Yu returned to Anyi, the army was ready, with a total of 5 horses.

The generals accompanying Hua Yu included Hu Che'er, Po Hu Chi'er, Yan Xing, Gan Ning, Zhang Xiu, Tai Shici, Hu Chuquan, Lai Man'er, Huerda, Fukuishan and others.

The lineup of generals is absolutely awesome.

As for the counselor, Hua Yu transferred Fazheng from Bingzhou, and brought Xu Shu with him, a total of two people.

At this time, the situation in Chang'an was already in turmoil.

Although Han Sui was a former general and got the position of the third prince of Situ, he couldn't restrain the eight tribes of Liangzhou.

The military discipline of Liangzhou's Eight Divisions is worse than that of Dong Zhuo's army before.

In the past, although Dong Zhuo's army looted everywhere and killed the good and pretended to be meritorious, at least they would not force their way into the houses.

But the Liangzhou Eight Departments are different. They directly break into houses, rob food and people, and kill anyone who resists.

What's more, even the small officials of the imperial court couldn't protect themselves.

So much so that it was reported every day that an official was killed by the Xiliang Army.

However, the emperor was taken to Liangzhou by Ma Teng, and even Han Sui couldn't restrain the eight tribes of Liangzhou, and all the officials could only ask for more blessings.

Upcoming?

No matter, who dares to go out.

Those who have private soldiers are under strict protection every day, lest the Xiliang army break in.

In fact, the fighting power of the private soldiers is not comparable to that of Xiliang soldiers, it is just the self-consolation of these big families.

So, in the current Chang'an city, it is the entire Sili region, looking forward to King Qin's army is like looking forward to the stars and the moon.

What about Liu Yan in Yizhou?
Originally, Liu Yan would not let go of such a good opportunity to be King Qin, and to be able to take over Chang'an.

The same descendants of the Liu family, Liu Yan's rule of Chang'an is completely different from other warlords' rule of Chang'an.

At that time, as long as Liu Yan colludes with Ma Teng and finds a way to make the emperor Liu Xie burp, Liu Yan will be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor logically.

It's a pity that there are no holidays.

When Liu Yan assembled the army, he suddenly became seriously ill and was bedridden immediately.

Liu Yan is seriously ill, who will lead the army?

Liu Mao?

Or Liu Zhang?

Liu Mao's body is not much stronger than Liu Yan's. He coughs every day and has a fever every now and then. He has to lie in bed for half a day.

With such a body, if you lead troops out to fight, if you fall ill and fall outside, who will command the army?
Besides, Liu Hao has never been on the battlefield at all, which is the same as Liu Zhang, so don't say anything about it.

Put Liu Zhang in command?
It's not right either.

Not long after Liu Zhang returned to Shuzhong, his prestige had not yet been established, and he lacked his cronies in the army.

Once the generals in the army deliberately opposed Liu Zhang, causing Liu Zhang to return in a big defeat, Liu Yan would be shooting himself in the foot.

If it is handed over to the generals under his command?

It seems that there are not many generals in Yizhou who can make Liu Yan feel at ease.

Therefore, this matter was put on hold for the time being.

As for Liu Mao and Liu Zhang, they also began to win over the civil and military forces in Yizhou to expand their own interest groups.

According to Hua Yu's instructions, Wu Yi directly stated his position, publicly supported Liu Zhang, and even helped Liu Zhang win over some civil and military personnel in Yizhou.

At the same time, a rumor quietly arose in Yizhou, saying that Liu Mao's body could not last for half a year.

This news was definitely a fatal blow to Liu Mao.

If the news is true, Liu Mao can't survive for half a year. What's the point of those Yizhou civil and military followers who follow him to follow him?
Not only is it meaningless, once Liu Mao dies, Yizhou will fall into Liu Zhang's hands. How can Liu Zhang let go of those who once supported Liu Mao?

For a while, the situation in Yizhou was very unfavorable to Liu Mao, but extremely favorable to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang's mansion.

Liu Zhang is entertaining Wu Yi.

Now that Wu Yi has made it clear that he supports Liu Zhang, there is no need to hide it, but he often enters and exits Liu Zhang's mansion openly and aboveboard.

Liu Zhang picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Come on, Ziyuan, I'll toast you again."

"Without Ziyuan's strategy, the general trend would not have turned against me so quickly, Liu Zhang."

It turned out that Hua Yu had taught Wu Yi the news that Liu Mao would not survive half a year, and in front of Liu Zhang, it was naturally Wu Yi's plan.

Therefore, in Liu Zhang's eyes, Wu Yi is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is even more loyal to him, and he will definitely be of great use.

Wu Yi laughed loudly and said, "This is just a trivial skill, but it is quite practical."

"Fourth Young Master, don't worry. After the news spreads, not only will Third Young Master become anxious and make his condition worse, even Fu Jun will also consider the matter of the successor of Yizhou."

"Okay, great." Liu Zhang liked to hear this kind of talk the most, and said with a big smile, "If I can take charge of Yizhou, Ziyuan will be my soldier in Yizhou and a part-time Zhonglang general."

Bing Cao was in charge of managing the military power for Zhoumu, and General Zhonglang was able to directly lead the troops. Liu Zhang almost handed over all the military power in Yizhou to Wu Yi.

Wu Yi immediately said humbly: "The last general is not for power, but because he does not want the power of Yizhou to fall into the hands of the ailing third son."

"Otherwise, if the third son wins the position of state shepherd, the power of Yizhou will only fall into the hands of Zhang Lu, Zhang Su, Dong Fu and others."

Liu Zhang put down the wine bottle and nodded, "That's right, Yizhou belongs to the Liu family. How can the great power fall into the hands of outsiders like the imperial power?"

"So, the third brother absolutely cannot inherit the position of state shepherd."

"Oh, don't worry, Ziyuan, once I can take control of Yizhou, I will immediately send troops to the north to save Cheng'er from the fire and water."

Wu Yi immediately said, "Young master, you can't."

"Amaranth, she's just a girl, how can she compare with the great achievements of the fourth son?"

"After the fourth son came to power, he should work hard to govern, store food and train troops, send troops to Chang'an, occupy Guanzhong, and then plan for Liangzhou to strengthen Qin and Gaozu. How can a woman ruin his plan?"

Liu Zhang was overjoyed, and frowned on purpose: "But, I have promised Cheng'er."

"Once you take power in Yizhou, immediately send troops to the north to rescue her from Hua Ziyi."

Wu Yi secretly scolded Liu Zhang for being cunning, and sighed, "Don't worry, Fourth Young Master. When I have a chance to see Cheng'er in the future, I will explain to her by myself, and I will stop Fourth Young Master."

What Liu Zhang said just now was a test. If Wu Yi only wanted to write a letter to Wu Cheng, Liu Zhang would suspect that Wu Yi had colluded with Hua Yu.
