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

In the end, Zhang Song agreed to the matter.

It cannot be said that Zhang Song is a traitor, it can only be said that Liu Zhang is too stupid.

It can only be said that Zhang Song is not the kind of loyal minister who dies, he just knows how to understand current affairs.

With Zhang Song joining, Wu Yi couldn't help it.

After all, he was very clear about Wu Yi's inconsistency.

If Zhang Song can help, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

So, after the two reached an agreement, they began to discuss how to welcome Hua Yu's army into Sichuan, and how to persuade officials who were dissatisfied with Liu Zhang to join Hua Yu.

Zhang Song didn't leave until late at night.

Early the next morning, a servant came out of Wu Yi's mansion, ready to leave the city and head north.

However, as soon as this servant left the city, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.

The servant also clearly stated that he went to Chang'an under Wu Yi's order to send a letter to Wu Cheng's family.

Sure enough, the guarding sergeant found a letter from this servant.

In the letter, it was just the content of the family letter. It was Wu Yi who persuaded Wu, saying that after Liu Zhang stabilized Yizhou, he would send troops to rescue her and let her bear it a little longer.

Other than that, there were no other letters, and there was nothing odd in the envelope.

Therefore, the guarding sergeant released the servant from Wu Yi's mansion out of the city.

At the same time, the guards also reported the matter to Liu Zhang.

But Liu Zhang was suspicious by nature, and the more Wu Yi didn't show his flaws, the more uneasy Liu Zhang became.

More importantly, Liu Zhang didn't even know whether Wu's life in the Champion's Mansion was really as the letter said, or in another way.

However, without evidence, Liu Zhang did not dare to do anything to Wu Yi, because Wu Yi was the hero who supported him.

In other words, is the letter sent by Wu Yi really just a letter from home?

of course not.

As mentioned above, Hua Yu bought two bottles of Yinxian ink in the Dunjia market, one bottle was in his own hands, and the other bottle was naturally given to Wu Yi for communication purposes.

At this time, Liu Zhang was still in the excitement of the beauty pageant.

After all, the rows of beauties stood upright, waiting for Liu Zhang to choose by himself. This feeling is definitely very refreshing.

You know, the emperor's draft selection also has to be screened by the people below, and finally a small part is selected and sent to the emperor.

There is so much maneuverability in this.

For example, the daughters of powerful officials can basically be shortlisted.

Those who give benefits to relevant people, even daughters can be shortlisted.

And those who have no power and don't give benefits, no matter how good-looking their daughters are, they can't be seen by the emperor.

But Liu Zhang was different this time. He ordered that all the selected women be sent to Mianzhu for him to choose himself.

The reason why Liu Zhang did this is still related to his stay in Chang'an City.

Liu Zhang knew the drawbacks of the royal family's selection of women, so he didn't bother to choose the most beautiful woman.

The reason why he worked so hard and worked so hard was that Liu Zhang wanted to select a group of beauties in Yizhou who were absolutely not inferior to those women in the Champion Hou's Mansion.

In short, in a word, Liu Zhang must express this suppressed anger.

As for Liu Zhang, he wasn't completely confused, he knew that the beauty pageant this time would have a certain impact on Yizhou.

So, at the same time as the beauty pageant, Liu Zhang also issued several orders from the prefecture's government.

These state shepherd's orders are of great benefit to ordinary people, to those noble families, and to the army.

It's just that Liu Zhang overestimated his ability to control Yizhou.

Liu Yan could not completely control Yizhou, and he, Liu Zhang, had just come to power, and he was even more unable to control Yizhou.

It is even said that Liu Zhang's control over Yizhou is not half that of his father Liu Yan.

Luckily, Liu Yan left behind Dongzhou soldiers and old soldiers who were absolutely loyal to the state herdsmen, as well as a group of loyal generals who were promoted from poor families. Otherwise, the situation in Yizhou would be even worse.

Those orders issued by Liu Zhang were not really implemented in place, but only appeared to be like that on the surface.

To be precise, Mianzhu City looks like that on the surface.

But in other places in Yizhou, especially the places far away from Mianzhu, Liu Zhang's orders were like air, and no official heeded them.

Liu Zhang's beauty pageant was a joy to behold.

Hanzhong County was the first to bear the brunt of Huayu's troops attacking Yizhou.

Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong County, was shocked when he heard the news.

It is not a trivial matter for Hua Yu to lead an army to attack.

Before that, Huayu's achievements, any state shepherd, prefect, and even county magistrate in the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, no one did not know.

Although Hanzhong County was not greatly affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is a place with many mountains and little farmland, and the population is sparse.

In the entire Hanzhong County, there are only nine counties, with more than 700 households and less than 27 people.

Therefore, the total number of troops in Hanzhong County is only 5000.

And Hua Yu personally led an army of [-], which was twice as large as the Hanzhong army.

Not to mention, the [-] Hanzhong troops are scattered among the seven counties in Hanzhong, and it is easy for Hua Yu to defeat them one by one.

Just when Zhang Lu heard the news, he discussed with his younger brother Zhang Wei and counselor Yan Pu that he would quickly increase troops on Ziwu Road and Baoxie Road, and at the same time increase troops on Anyang City.

At the same time, someone had to be sent to report the news to Liu Zhang, asking Liu Zhang to send more troops to help.

Anyang City, in the northwest of Hanzhong County, is also the northernmost county.

Going north from Anyang City is Nanshan, and after crossing Nanshan is the Sili area.

And once the Ziwu Road and Baoxie Road are reinforced, it will be the kind of situation where one man is the gate and the other is not open. Unless Hua Yu spares the lives of the soldiers, these two places are absolutely as safe as Mount Tai.

Therefore, if Hua Yu wants to attack Hanzhong County, the only way is Anyang County.

Anyang County originally had a garrison of [-] troops, and such a garrison situation is only suitable when there is no war. Therefore, Zhang Lu plans to increase the number of troops to Anyang County by [-], reaching [-].

Hanzhong County is mountainous in the east and sparsely populated. There are only Xiyu County, Xi County, Shangyong County and Fangling County.

To the west of Hanzhong County is only one-tenth of the area, but there are Mianyang County, Baozhong County, Chenggu County and Nanzheng County, which concentrate almost two-thirds of the population of Hanzhong County.

Therefore, once Anyang County is breached, Huayu's iron cavalry will be able to come to the city of Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong County, in a flat manner.

Unexpectedly, before Zhang Lu's messenger left Nanzheng City, Mianzhu's messenger had already arrived.

"My lord, I don't know who listened to the slander of Liu Yizhou's beauty pageant, and insisted on forcing the old lady and the third young lady to marry him together."

"Right now, Liu Yizhou has sent troops to garrison the lord's mansion and put the old lady and the third lady under house arrest."

"Liu Yizhou also told the old lady that if the old lady and the third lady dare to refuse, the fifth son will lose his head."

"What?" Zhang Lu was startled and angry, he slapped the table suddenly, and roared, "Liu Zhang bullied me too much."
