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

three days later.

Under Nanzheng City.

The impenetrable defense was completely removed, but the city gate was left wide open.

Zhang Lu led the civil and military officers of Hanzhong County and stood quietly outside the North City Gate, as if waiting for someone.

At this time, what Zhang Luneng is waiting for is naturally the champion Hou Huayu.

After some deliberation, Zhang Lu decided to take Hanzhong County to surrender to Hua Yu, and use Hua Yu's hand to avenge Zhang Hui.

Not long after, there was a rapid sound of horseshoes, and the feeling of thousands of horses and horses shook the ground trembling continuously.

The faces of Zhang Lu and the others all changed. Never before had such a huge cavalry regiment existed in Hanzhong.

Looking at it from a distance, the dense blackness and the bursts of smoke are wrapped in a thick coercion, and they are suddenly oppressed here, making people feel suffocated.

Zhang Lu and others all thought that without the benefits of the city, the Hanzhong army would have absolutely no power to parry the Xiliang cavalry in a field battle.

Soon, the [-] cavalry stopped completely, stopping ten feet away from Zhang Lu and the others.

However, the coercion did not stop, and it still ruthlessly covered Zhang Lu and the others, so that they had to take two or three steps back to barely resist the coercion.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Lu managed to stabilize his mind. He strode forward reluctantly, clasped his hands together, and said loudly, "Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong County, and a group of civil and military personnel, pay homage to the lord."

As he said that, Zhang Lu knelt down on both knees, holding the map, household register and seal of Hanzhong in both hands.

"I'll wait, see the lord." Just as Zhang Lu's voice fell to the ground, Wen Wu behind him also bowed down.

Hua Yu got off his horse, and Dian Wei and other generals also got off their horses.

But the [-] cavalry behind them were still sitting on their horses, expressionless and motionless.

Not moving like a mountain.

There were also soldiers from Hanzhong at the top of the city, watching this scene, they all trembled in their hearts.

Judging from this military discipline alone, Hua Yu's army is absolutely powerful. Who can compete with such an army?
Hua Yu strode up to Zhang Lu, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Gong Qi understands the righteousness, and he surrendered the county. It is very comforting."

"Gong Qi has been in Hanzhong for a long time, and he is very familiar with Hanzhong. Naturally, he is the best candidate for the prefect of Hanzhong."

"At present, the war has just started, and the land of Hanzhong needs to be stabilized. Gong Qi is still the prefect of Hanzhong for the time being."

"When Yizhou is pacified and Gongqi has contributed to Hanzhong, there will naturally be rewards. It will not be too late to make adjustments at that time. I don't know what Gongqi wants?"

Zhang Lu hurriedly said: "This subordinate obeys the orders of the lord."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Lu handed the things in his hands to Yan Pu beside him.

Zhang Lu clasped his hands and said, "This subordinate has already arranged a banquet to welcome the lord and his party, I don't know the lord..."

Hua Yu laughed loudly, and grabbed Zhang Lu's hand: "Gong Qi has a heart, let's go, let's go to the banquet together."

The two walked towards the city together, followed by Dian Wei and Po Hu Chi'er, three counselors Xun You, Xu Shu and Fa Zheng, and four generals Yan Xing, Tai Shici, Hu Chuquan and Lai Man'er, followed by the civil and military officers of Hanzhong County.

Then, Wei Yan, Cheng Lian, Cao Hehe and Wei Yue, leading [-] cavalry, entered Nanzheng City successively and took over the city defense of Nanzheng City.

When he came to the living room, Zhang Lu asked Hua Yu to sit in the upper seat, and the latter was not polite.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Lu introduced the civil and military affairs of Hanzhong to Hua Yu one by one.

"Hahaha, I have heard Mr. Yan Pu's name for a long time, and I can finally see you today. I am so relieved."

Unexpectedly, Hua Yu had such a high opinion of him, Yan Pu couldn't help feeling flattered, and hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

When Zhang Wei was introduced, Hua Yu nodded again and said, "Gu also heard that General Zhang Wei has undeserved courage and is the number one general in Hanzhong."

"This time, Gong Qi wants to avenge his family, how about letting Gong Yu and Gong Ren follow Gu Nan to march?"

Zhang Lu had expected this earlier, and there was no surprise.

Hua Yu let him continue to be in charge of Hanzhong, so naturally he had to take his two younger brothers out of Hanzhong and bring them with him, so that he could well avoid the possibility of him surrendering and rebelling.

Zhang Lu immediately cupped his hands and said, "I would like to obey my lord's order."

"Liu Zhang killed my brother for no reason and bullied my stepmother and sister. This hatred is irreconcilable."

"If the lord can avenge this great revenge for his subordinates, the subordinate brothers will be very grateful, and they will serve the lord as a dog and horse for the rest of their lives."

Hua Yu nodded: "Don't worry, Gong Qi, Gu Ding will definitely not sit idly by, this matter will definitely be explained to Gong Qi."

"Gongda..." Hua Yu immediately turned his head and looked at Xun You.

Xun You immediately cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate is here."

"In the name of Gu, you wrote a letter to Liu Zhang, saying that Zhang Luju County in Hanzhong surrendered, and Gu had promised Zhang Lu to avenge his fifth brother Zhang Hui."

Xun You is an extremely smart person, so he naturally understood what Hua Yu meant by doing this, so he nodded in agreement.

Liu Zhang will surely die.

Even without Zhang Hui's affairs, Hua Yu did not intend to spare Liu Zhang's life.

After all, Liu Yan has been operating in Yizhou for many years, and his relationship is intricate.

Hua Yu is facing a big plan, and it is impossible to spend too much time in Yizhou to straighten out various relationships.

Therefore, if Liu Zhang is alive, those unstable elements in Yizhou will be more active.

But if Liu Zhang is dead, these people won't be able to make trouble, and it will take a long time to make trouble just because of whoever is the main one.

When they are about to make a fuss, the layout and investigation of Hua Yu's hidden guards in Yizhou will be about the same, and they can catch them all in one go without leaving any future troubles.

Appease the gentry in Yizhou and make some compromises with them, so that when expanding the territory, there will be much less resistance from the gentry.

And wantonly suppressed the Yizhou gentry, and even uprooted them. When the opportunity opened up and expanded the territory, the resistance of the gentry in other states and counties would be much stronger.

Compared with the two, Hua Yu would rather choose the latter.

Of course, when attacking cities and territories, there will be some more casualties, which will slow down the pace of unification.

But as long as those gentry who have committed many crimes are brought to justice, the rule of the world will be much simpler in the future.

And once the world is clear, Hua Yu will be able to lead an army to conquer overseas in a very short time.

If you choose the first option, Hua Yu's pace of unification will be faster, but although he is the emperor, the power will still be in the hands of those gentry.

For people of this era, it doesn't matter, but as a traveler of later generations, it doesn't make much sense.

What matters more is the will of the people.

Choosing the latter can quickly win the hearts of the people, while the former will not.

With the hearts of the people, there is everything. Hua Yu is afraid of the gentry.

But all the gentry who stand in the way of his unifying footsteps have only one strategy: shoot and kill.

After Hua Yu rested in Nanzheng City for three days, the army quickly set off and went straight to Baishui Pass, the first pass in the northeast of Guanghan County, Yizhou.

If Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, and Zitong Pass can be breached one by one, and then Fu County can be captured, the army will be able to approach Mianzhu City.
