Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

The army entered the city and took over Nanzheng City Defense.

Liu Zhang immediately rectified the soldiers and horses, counted the soldiers and horses, treated the wounded, and seized the treasury and arsenal.

He also took the seal of the prefect of Hanzhong and sent troops to Yangping Pass and Mianyang to recruit Yang Ang and Yang Bai.

Yang Ang and Yang Bo knew that Nanzheng was captured after seeing the prefect's seal, they did not resist too much, and immediately ordered the troops to put down their weapons and surrender.

Ma Teng and Zhao Wei entered the Hanzhong Plain smoothly, and then came to Nanzheng.

After the battle is over, it will take a long time to deal with the follow-up, posting the notice of Anmin, and receiving the county magistrates of Hanzhong counties, etc.

After finishing all these tasks, Liu Zhang had time to meet Zhang Lu.

It is still the Hanzhong Prefect's Mansion, but this time it is Liu Zhang who sits in the main seat, and Zhang Lu who stays at the bottom of the steps.

Zhang Lu's face was haggard. Although Liu Zhang's subordinates didn't treat him harshly these days, they didn't make him feel better either.

Liu Zhang's face was [-]% similar to Liu Yan, and Zhang Lu recognized him as soon as he arrived at the conference hall.

He immediately knelt down and said: "The guilty minister Zhang Lu, I am willing to surrender!"

"Oh, willing to surrender!" The corners of Liu Zhang's mouth rose slightly, revealing an indescribable smile. "Didn't Zhang Taishou say a few days ago that he would not surrender to the death, why is he willing now!"

Zhang Lu's complexion changed, he was a little embarrassed, but he knew that if he couldn't pass the test at this time, he might lose his life. "The guilty minister doesn't know how powerful the heavenly soldiers are, so he wants to fight the heavenly soldiers in vain, it's a capital crime!"

At this moment, Zhang Lu no longer has the aloofness of being the prefect of Hanzhong, but looks like a sycophant.

"Capital crime, well said," Liu Zhang said with a smile, "Since I know capital crime, then I will keep your whole body!"

"Ah, spare my life, spare my life!" Zhang Lu thought that he would let him go if he subdued himself to Liu Zhang in a low voice, but he didn't expect
"Zhang Lu, my father treats you well. You are the prefect of Hanzhong, but you are closed and self-reliant. The moment you stop me from entering Yizhou, you are doomed to die. I will kill you first, and let your dead ghost Mother go down and reunite with my father!"

Conquering Hanzhong, Liu Zhang's army was killed more than [-], injured [-], and one-third of the casualties. How could he spare Zhang Lu.

Soon, Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei were killed, and the remaining Hanzhong generals, such as Yang Ang and Yang Bai, were surrendered by Liu Zhang.

After Liu Zhang dealt with some other matters, he received Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei is Liu Yan's confidant, and has been supporting Liu Yan since he started working as a Yizhou pastor.

The two discussed and decided to enter Yizhou five days later.

Hanzhong is so important. If it is in the hands of Yizhou, Yizhou will be as stable as a mountain. If it is in the hands of Guanzhong, Yizhou will be at your fingertips.

Liu Zhang decided to send 2 people to guard Hanzhong. Before Yizhou completely fell under his control, the garrison in Hanzhong must be absolutely indispensable.

Five days later, Liu Zhang led 2 people to the south with Zhao Wei, passed through Yangping Pass, Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, and Jianmen Pass, entered Guanghan County, and then continued south to Chengdu, the seat of Yizhou.

As the governing place of Yizhou, Chengdu was only a short period of time, but Chengdu has always been the big city of Yizhou.

Outside the north gate of Chengdu, most of the high-ranking officials in Yizhou who had heard the news a long time ago came to welcome Liu Zhang.

There are more than [-] people including Huang Quan, Wu Yi, Li Yan, Li Hui, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, Zhang Song, Zhang Su, etc., including the prefect of Berkshire like Yan Yan.

It is only natural for a son to inherit his father's business.Now that the court is controlled by Li Jue and Guo Si, the local government has long refused to listen to the court.

What makes these people support Liu Zhang is that they value Liu Zhang's ability.

Liu Zhang was appointed as the prefect of Jingzhaoyin in less than [-] years, and it took three years to capture the entire Guanzhong and Xiliang, threatening the Qiang people.

Now he has [-] troops, controls thousands of miles of land, and governs harmony among the people, all of which show that he is very capable, and the most important point is that he is young, only in his early twenties.

Following such a lord, it is not impossible to change the dynasty.

There were people with all kinds of thoughts. Liu Zhang dismounted outside the city gate, and Zhao Wei and Wu Ban introduced him one by one.

Liu Zhang knew that these people were the foundation of his rule of the world, so he greeted them one by one.

There were more than fifty people, some of whom he had never heard of before, and some of whom were truly impressive. Huang Quan, Wu Yi, Li Yan, Li Hui, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren, etc. were all famous Yizhou generals.

Although they don't have any great records, it's because they never had the chance to come out of Sichuan. Now that they are in Yizhou, they will definitely be able to show their platform to these famous generals.

All the officials in Yizhou surrounded Liu Zhang and entered the Yizhou State Shepherd's Mansion. There were servants in the mansion preparing a banquet, and Liu Zhang talked with them.Among them, Zhao Wei and others briefly introduced the situation in Yizhou to Liu Zhang.

Yizhou has jurisdiction over Hanzhong County, Ba County, Guanghan County, Shu County, Shu County Subordinate Country, Jianwei County, Jianwei Subordinate Country, Zangcang County, Yizhou County, and Yongchang County, with a population of 568 million.

Although the population has decreased a little due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in recent years, there have been quite a few people who migrated from Guanzhong.

The registered population is 568 million, so the actual population of Yizhou is at least [-]% more.

After hearing this, Liu Zhang was overjoyed. As long as he completely controlled Yizhou, he would have a population of 748 million.

Taking control of Yizhou means that he has formed a tendency to strengthen Qin.In the late Warring States period, when Qin unified the world, there were only more than 500 million people. Now he has more than 700 million people, and he has a strong military system. The unification of the world is just around the corner.

Liu Zhang listened carefully to Zhao Wei and others introducing the situation in Yizhou to him, and at the same time exchanged feelings with them. Everyone found that Liu Zhang did not act very strong, but was very gentle.

For the next three days, Liu Zhang met with Yizhou officials continuously, got to know them well, listened to their work reports, and then sorted out the factions among Yizhou officials.

The faction of officials in Yizhou is very simple. One is Liu Yan’s Yuan Cong faction, including Zhao Wei, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, etc. Later, the officials who migrated from Guanzhong are called Dongzhou faction, and they are actually related to Liu Yan. The Yuan Cong faction of the Yuan Dynasty is very closely related, and it can even be said that they are all Dongzhou faction.

The other line is the local line, that is, the Yizhou line. They are numerous and powerful, including Huang Quan, Li Yan, Li Hui, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and so on.

Only the Dongzhou faction and the Yuancong faction merged to fight against the Yizhou faction. As a foreign state shepherd, Liu Yan wanted to stand firm and also tried his best to support the Dongzhou faction.

For Liu Zhang's taking control of Yizhou, the Dongzhou faction must support it, because their roots are in Guanzhong, as long as Liu Zhang is allowed to take control of Yizhou, they can return to Guanzhong.

As for the Yizhou officials, some of them supported Liu Zhang's entry into Yizhou, while others did not.

It took Liu Zhang five days to sort out the Yizhou faction a little bit.

Then, he had to check Yizhou's household registration, money and grain and other documents.

At present, there are [-] troops in Yizhou, [-] of these troops were formed before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, more than [-] were formed by the former governor of Yizhou, Quejian, and the rest were expanded when Liu Yan was the shepherd of Yizhou.

Yizhou officials have great local power, but much less power in military power and state pastoral government.

After taking control of Yizhou, Liu Zhang started working.

He decided to reuse his father's confidantes such as Zhao Wei, as well as Wu Yi, Wu Ban and other wives, and promote officials of the Yizhou Department who are capable and appropriate.

When he heard the name of Gan Ning, a powerful man in Yizhou, he also sent people to recruit him, and appointed Gan Ning as the captain.

Gan Ning saw that Liu Zhang valued him so much when he first arrived, so he accepted his appointment.
