At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

Let Xun You handle these trivial matters, Liu Zhang has never cared about it, everything is out of trust in Xun You!

Now that he is about to go on a long journey, if there are any more soldiers willing to follow, they will definitely drag his family with him. Liu Zhang has to know what to do!

"Don't worry, my lord, we still have nearly 200,000 shi of food and grass, which can definitely support Hanzhong! Even if there are soldiers and their families following, there is no problem."

Liu Zhang nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. With Xun You's swearing assurance, there must be no problem.

"Okay! Immediately send someone to Hanzhong to tell Wenhe that we are about to return! By the way, the people in the three eastern counties asked Wenhe to move to the vicinity of Nanzheng immediately. Those aristocratic and powerful families who are unwilling to leave should not be forced, but they cannot be allowed to leave." They hid people!"

"By the way, let Wen He inquire about the situation in Shu County. Your Majesty's edict should have arrived long ago."

"promise!"

I don't know why, Liu Zhang always has a feeling of restlessness. It stands to reason that Liu Yan will not ignore His Majesty's will, but it is difficult to refuse because of power.

Xun You seemed to have seen through Liu Zhang's mind, and asked with a frown,

"My lord, if Lord Liu is unwilling to hand over the state shepherd's position, what will my lord do?"

How to do?

Liu Zhang thought about this question for a long time, but he never had a definite answer.

It was because of Yizhou Mu's problem that he was willing to stay in Luoyang for half a year, in exchange for the position of Yizhou Mu at the price of helping Dong Zhuo!

Liu Zhang said from his heart that he was absolutely unwilling to have a direct conflict with his father Liu Yan, so he tried every means to properly handle the matter.

But just like what Xun You said, what if Liu Yan doesn't follow his will and is unwilling to hand over the position of Yizhou pastor?

If history does not change, Liu Yan will die in 194 AD, which is four years later.

It took Cao Cao four years to pacify the four prefectures in Hebei in four years. How could Liu Zhang sit in Hanzhong for four years?

It's all because the changes are too fast. Liu Zhang's worst plan is to go to Hanzhong now. It's no problem to develop for four years with peace of mind, but Hanzhong County has been developed for nearly four years. After four years of operation, although Hanzhong has not developed to the limit, but The room for improvement is already very limited!

Now there is only one voice in Hanzhong County, so waiting for another four years is actually meaningless!

"Gongda, if my father is really unwilling to give up the power in his hands, besides fighting each other, is there any other way for us to go?"

Liu Zhang didn't answer, but threw the question to Xun You again, and he also wanted to hear Xun You's opinion.

Xun You didn't expect Liu Zhang to ask such a question, but he still tried to think about it.

"My lord, do you still remember? When Emperor Ling was here, I told Wenhe that what His Majesty needs is a lonely minister who dares to face everyone! Now that Emperor Ling is gone, it doesn't mean that lonely ministers are useless Yes! On the contrary, if you want to revive the Han Dynasty, I am afraid you need to be a person who is isolated from common sense in the world!"

"The lord is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period, so naturally he knows what the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period call him?"

Liu Zhang trembled all over, this sentence touched him too much!

lonely... widowed...

Maybe those who can get to that step are destined to have to give up something.

"Gongda, I'd rather bear the name of being unfilial than indecisive!"

At this moment, Liu Zhang finally made up his mind, even if it was the infamy of unfilial piety, he would not hesitate to take Yizhou into his hands as soon as possible!

Xun You breathed a sigh of relief. As a counselor, he shouldn't have said such treasonous things! Now it's just a reminder to Liu Zhang on the sidelines, he can wake up, this is really the best!

"My lord, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe Mr. Liu doesn't care about power at all, and thinks about handing it over to the lord earlier so that he can enjoy his life!"

"I hope so..."

Regarding Liu Yan's ability to let go of power easily, Liu Zhang did not hold such hope at all. On the contrary, he felt that Liu Yan would not let go of power easily!

Liu Yan has many acts of arrogance in history, which all illustrate the ambition deep in his heart!

Fortunately, there is an edict appointed by Dong Zhuo as the righteousness. If it really develops to the point of fighting in battle, as long as Liu Zhang doesn't hurt Liu Yan's life, it shouldn't cause too much criticism.

After a day, the whereabouts of the troops were basically determined, and there were more than 11,000 soldiers who finally decided to go to Hanzhong with Liu Zhang! This big. Big exceeded Liu Zhang's expectations!

With such an army of 40,000, Liu Zhang took away more than 26,000, and the remaining 13,000 who were unwilling to leave Sili, all of them were directly thrown to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was naturally overjoyed. What he lacked most now was the source of troops. He thought that Liu Zhang would leave him with a few thousand soldiers at most, but he actually had more than double the expected number!

With Dong Zhuo reluctantly seeing him off, Liu Zhang led the trilogy to leave Hulao Pass and head towards Luoyang.

The soldiers follow Liu Zhang so loyally, Liu Zhang must reciprocate! He had already issued an order to allow the soldiers two days to go home to pack their bags after they arrived in Luoyang, and then went to Hanzhong with the army.

Most of the soldiers who followed Liu Zhangyuan to Hanzhong were from the poor class. There was a thatched hut outside Luoyang City, which was already the upper class among these soldiers, and the others really had no wealth.

Soldiers with slightly better conditions, or those who have a place to stay in Luoyang City, are absolutely reluctant to part with these assets.

Based on these circumstances, Liu Zhang felt that there was absolutely no problem in the two days, after all, it did not involve the sale of assets in the sale.

Everything went very smoothly. Two days later, all members returned to the team, and no one fled without permission. However, Liu Zhang's army also became chaotic. The soldiers dragged their families, old, weak, sick, and disabled. The whole army was not like the elite troops of the imperial court. Liu Zhang even laughed at himself that this was the configuration of the Yellow Turban Army!

After bringing the soldiers' families, not only did the troops become disorganized, but the marching speed was also greatly weakened.

Liu Zhang could only arrange for the soldiers of Wufeng Battalion to be divided into two groups, and Zhao Yun and Tai Shici would lead 5,000 soldiers to patrol the border respectively.

Luoyang is very far away from Hanzhong, about fifteen or six hundred miles away!

However, the marching speed of Liu Zhang's troops is at most fifty miles a day, and it still takes a few days to walk and a day to rest!

At this speed, it will take at least a month to reach Hanzhong!

During this period, Zhang Liao once suggested that he and Gao Shun lead the soldiers of the Hanxing Camp and the trapped camp, together with the newly joined soldiers, to escort these family members to Hanzhong. .

Liu Zhang thought about it, and finally rejected the proposal. The main reason was that he was worried about accidents.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun should have no problem coping with sudden changes, but once they are attacked, it will inevitably cause panic among the soldiers. After all, more than 10,000 newcomers only recognize Liu Zhang, and they don't recognize anyone else.

There are more than 30,000 soldiers and their families together, which is not a small income for Hanzhong! Liu Zhang really didn't want to lose these populations in vain.

As for the time to arrive in Hanzhong, the difference is at most one month! One month, maybe Jia Xu is still busy migrating the population of the three eastern counties!

After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Zhang still decided to follow the large army and strive to reach Hanzhong in the most stable way!
