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

The news that Hua Yu was crowned King of Wei soon spread throughout Chang'an City.

As usual, the spies of the princes from all walks of life went out of the city one after another to report the news to their masters.

Hua Yu's enshrining the Duke is definitely an obvious experience of revealing his ambition.

Just like Sima Zhaozhi's heart was known to everyone in history, Hua Ziyi's heart is now known to the world.

Hua Yu has considered this matter for a long time.

With the inclusion of Guanzhong, Yizhou and Jingzhou, Huayu's strategic center will gradually shift to the east.

As for Ma Teng from Liangzhou, Hua Yu basically didn't regard him as an opponent.

Moreover, Hua Yu is already preparing to send troops to Liangzhou to wipe out the Ma Teng Group.

Once Ma Teng is destroyed, the entire western region will be completely under Hua Yu's control.

The pre-Qin regime will be completely formed.

There are exactly seven Hua Yu, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu.

Just after the news of Hua Yu becoming Duke spread, the news that Ma Teng sent someone to spread it also spread in Chang'an City.

Liu Xie in Chang'an is a fake, but Liu Xie in Liangzhou is real.

Because of this, Hua Yu abolished the establishment and made Pingyuan King Liu Qi the emperor.

After the news spread, it sounded really interesting.

If Liu Xie was not a fake, why did Hua Yu insist on abolishing him and appointing Liu Qi, the king of Pingyuan, as the emperor.

As a result, a thick cloud of suspicion spread over the sky of Chang'an City.

However, because Hua Yu is extremely popular, ordinary people are very supportive of Hua Yu.

As for whether Liu Xie is the emperor or Liu Qi is the emperor, it has no effect on the common people, because the power is in Hua Yu's hands.

And Hua Yu's philosophy of governing the country is that the king is the lightest, the people are the most important, and everything is based on the interests of the people.

It's just that the interests of the gentry have been greatly harmed, and among the officials, the gentry still account for a relatively large proportion.

So, these gentry took the opportunity to start making noise, secretly spreading the news of Hua Yu's treason.

In Chang'an City, there was an undercurrent raging immediately.

When Hua Yu heard the news, he sneered: "It seems that Ma Teng really couldn't sit still anymore and started jumping up and down."

Pang Tong said with a smile: "The Lord just used this as an excuse to send troops to attack Meng Teng and destroy him."

"Ma Teng's sweeping away and Liangzhou's attachment not only formed the power to strengthen Qin, but also opened up the Silk Road. For the lord, it is a matter of all benefits and no harm."

The importance of the Silk Road to Huayu became more and more obvious as merchants from various countries in the Western Regions traded with Chang'an more and more.

Although Huayu is very supportive of business, the taxes collected are lower than those of the Kanto princes.

But in this way, many merchants were stimulated, and the quantity of goods exchanged naturally increased.

This is what later generations often say, small profits but quick turnover.

Although the tax is low, but the amount is large, so that Hua Yu's business income is quite rich.

As for the merchants, because Liangzhou was not under Huayu's control, and Ma Teng was even more hostile to Huayu, their trade with Chang'an had to bypass Liangzhou.

And Hua Yu wiped out Ma Teng, regained Liangzhou, and opened up the Silk Road. For Chang'an's business, it will definitely be a big explosion.

First, with the opening of the Silk Road, the distance between Chang'an and the countries in the Western Regions has been shortened by almost one-third, and the cost has been greatly reduced.

The lower the cost, the more profits the businessman will make, and the higher the enthusiasm.

Second, in the past, because of the long distance, the safety factor could not be fully guaranteed. Many people wanted to start a business, but they dared not.

Once Ma Teng's troubles are eliminated, the Silk Road will be completely safe, and the number of merchants traveling will probably increase a lot.

Huayu's business tax will naturally increase a lot.

Fighting is a waste of people, money, food and grass. Whoever has a larger population and a solid economic foundation will win the final battlefield.

The size of the population also determines the economic base.

Historically, after the Three Kingdoms came to power, the combined total population of Wu and Shu was not as good as that of Wei.

Later, after the government returned to the Sima family, it turned out that the two countries of Wu and Shu were wiped out successively.

Hua Yu nodded: "That's right, the matter of abolishing the establishment is completed, and the next step is to clean up Ma Teng."

After accepting Pang Tong, Hua Yu immediately made him his confidant and took him to participate in many big and secret matters.

Pang Tong was naturally extremely grateful to Hua Yu, and vowed to repay Hua Yu for his kindness. The relationship between the master and the minister is very good.

"However..." Hua Yu suddenly changed the topic, and said with a chuckle, "Before sending troops to Ma Teng, this trick of Ma Teng must be solved."

"Shiyuan, do you have any tricks?"

All in all, there are quite a few top strategists under Hua Yu's command.

Jia Xu, Li Ru, Fazheng, Xun You, Xu Shu and Pang Tong were all well-known figures in the Three Kingdoms period.

However, after Hua Yu used them one by one, Pang Tong was ranked first by him.

As long as Pang Tong can practice more, he will definitely be Hua Yu's number one adviser in the future.

Pang Tong smiled slightly: "My lord, this matter is simple."

"Liu Xie has abdicated and is no longer the emperor, so he can naturally show his face."

"I believe that as long as Liu Xie is allowed to visit a few important officials of the court, Ma Teng's strategy will not be broken."

"Hahaha..." What Pang Tong said was exactly the same as what Hua Yu thought, and he couldn't help laughing, "That's right, that's right, just act according to Shi Yuan's plan."

"Well, Liu Xie lives in the residence of Princess Wannian Liu Mu, and Gu and Liu Mu are getting married soon, so it's inconvenient to come to the house right now."

"Why don't Shi Yuan run for Gu."

"For this matter, Shi Yuan can first go to the palace to find Liu Qi in the name of Gu, ask for an imperial decree, and force Liu Xie in the name of the emperor, the effect will be better."

Pang Tong was overjoyed, and immediately said: "My lord is wise, I will go now."

After Pang Tong left, Hua Yu also walked out of the study, looked in the direction of Liangzhou, and sneered: "Ma Teng, with a little plan, how can it be difficult to live alone?"

"Once Liangzhou is pacified, there will be no more worries in the isolated rear area, and we can set the capital of Wei State in Luoyang and deal with the Kanto princes with all our strength."

"Hey, at this moment, Gongsun Bogui and Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu, and Liu Xuande and Yuan Gonglu are all fighting in full swing."

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were indeed fighting in full swing.

Not only did the Jizhou battlefield continue, but the Youzhou battlefield also opened up.

Liu Bei and Yuan Shu are also in full swing.

Liu Bei's army has already crossed the river, Zhang Fei is the vanguard, Lu Su is the military adviser, Liu Bei leads the army behind, Chen Dao and Guan Ping are the generals, and Guan Yu stays in Xuzhou.

However, the fighting between Cao Cao and Sun Ce has stopped, and neither side intends to start a fight.
