Chapter 314: All the way to the west
Liu Yu's orders were soon sent down to various places.
Luoyang City.
Tian Fengshou received Liu Yu's request to go to Bingzhou, but he didn't dare to delay and immediately set off for Bingzhou.
Gao Shun and Huang Xu also began to set off, taking their respective troops to Guanzhong to join Zhang Liao.
After Zhang Liao received Liu Yu's order, he quickly gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses with the help of Zhong Xuan, and after Gao Shun and Huang Xu arrived, Zhang Liao waved his army to kill the gateway to Hanzhong, Pingyang Pass!
Dian Wei, who had been nesting at home, was dumbfounded. Originally, he thought that Liu Yu would not let him send troops together this time, and there was definitely a reason, Dian Wei was ready to take a good rest at home, recuperate and wait for the next battle. But this time to crusade against Zhang Lu, Liu Yu arranged most of the generals, but did not make arrangements for Dian Wei.
Dian Wei thought that Liu Yu must have the most critical task entrusted to him. But waiting left and right, I just didn't wait for Liu Yu's appointment. Dian Wei couldn't sit still, ignoring Liu Yu's threat to close the small black house before, after cleaning up, he left Luoyang and rushed to Wancheng lightly.
After Dian Wei came to Wancheng, he found that Liu Yu had already sent troops, and he hurriedly chased in the direction of Liu Yu's army.
Liu Yu was not ready to take Dian Wei with the army. Dian Wei has been following Liu Yu for a long time, and he usually follows Liu Yu's side, and even his accommodation has always been in the palace. Liu Yu felt that this was too inhumane, so this time he wanted to give Dian Wei a long vacation.
But when Dian Wei appeared in front of Liu Yu with a smile, Liu Yu really didn't know what to say, and he looked confused.
"My lord, I just can't be idle. So it followed. Can you leave me alone in the little black room? Dian Wei said with a smile on his face.
Liu Yu almost vomited blood, what kind of person is this, don't give him a holiday, if it is Liu Yu, I really want to give myself a long vacation, but unfortunately it can't.
Looking at Dian Wei's dusty appearance, Liu Yu was quite moved and scolded: "Don't go back to the brigade yet!" ”
"Yes!" Dian Wei hurriedly agreed, he was really afraid that Liu Yu would drive him back to Luoyang.
After Dian Wei returned, he looked at Lu Bu proudly, and the meaning was obvious, Lao Tzu was also here.
Lu Bu despised Dian Wei and gave Dian Wei a little thumbs up.
Dian Wei's eyes widened, but he didn't dare to attack when he caught up.
Everyone laughed at Dian Wei's aggrieved look, but they were also stunned when they saw Dian Wei's expression of wanting to kill, and they all held back and didn't dare to speak out.
Liu Yu turned his head to look at Dian Wei, who hurriedly withdrew his murderous eyes, nodded at Liu Yu, and looked like a dog. Liu Yu shook his head when he saw this, Dian Wei's goods were really uneasy, and Liu Yu felt that it was safe to take him with him.
Liu Yu's army advanced all the way to the west, and all the people along the way hurriedly fled for their lives, not daring to provoke him.
Liu Biao received Liu Yu's letter and didn't care anymore. He had received the matter of Zhang Lu occupying Shangyong before, although Liu Biao wanted to go and beat Zhang Lu, but the threat of Yuan Shu's army was greater, and Liu Biao could only solve Yuan Shuxian first.
Now that Liu Yu took the initiative to attack Zhang Lu, Liu Biao couldn't even if he wanted to oppose it. If Liu Biao objected, Liu Yu would attack him in a fit of rage, and Liu Biao would be finished. Liu Yu is still the eldest son of Emperor Ling, in case he is called emperor one day, his children and grandchildren may follow Liu Yu to eat in the future, thinking of this, Liu Biao directly acquiesced to Liu Yu's military action against Shangyong, and ordered Shangyong County's city that was not breached by Zhang Lu to give the green light to Liu Yu's army.
With Liu Biao's acquaintance and sensible actions, Liu Yu marched quickly.
The situation on Zhang Lu's side can be said to be both sad and joyful.
Originally, Zhang Lu took advantage of Liu Yu's 100,000 army to go out of Bishui Pass and fight with Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, as well as Liu Biao's passive defense, mobilized the army to march into Wancheng, and finally Yuan Shu came to intervene, such a chaotic situation to get a piece of the pie.
In fact, Zhang Lu's choice was right, Liu Biao couldn't take out extra troops to defend Shangyong at all, and Zhang Lu captured Shangyong very smoothly.
Zhang Lu was immersed in the joy of victory, and fantasized that after stabilizing Shangyong, he built a warship, went straight down the river to Xiangyang, and captured the rich and oily city.
But no one thought that Liu Yu would wave his army to kill Zhang Lu, and it was also a two-way army attacking from the north and south.
Zhang Lu asked himself if he was quite respectful to Liu Yu, and his filial piety every year was a lot, why was Liu Yu so unsympathetic and killed him directly. Zhang Lu wrote a letter to Liu Yu despite the opposition of his subordinates, wanting to ask Liu Yu if he had made a mistake. And Zhang Lu said in the letter that if Liu Yu is willing to withdraw from the army or negotiate peace, he is willing to add 100,000 stone of grain and grass to Liu Yu every year.
Zhang Lu's envoy came to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu immediately laughed after reading Zhang Lu's letter.
Zhang Lu's behavior made Liu Yu feel ridiculous, do you still need to talk about what kind of feelings you need to talk about annexing others.
"Your lord has invaded other people's lands without cause, and attacked the cities of legitimate officials appointed by the imperial court. As the eldest son of the first emperor, how could this king be able to watch such an indiscriminate thing happen, go back and tell your father-in-law, this king ordered him to open the city and surrender, if he tries to resist, this king can only stand against him and kill. Come on, blast this guy out of this king! However, since Zhang Lu wanted a reason, Liu Yu was a reasonable person, so he said the reason for sending troops this time.
Zhang Lu's messenger was beaten by Liu Yu's stick. The messenger was glad that he had escaped his life, and it was common to kill the messenger these days.
The envoy's reply made Zhang Lu understand a truth, that is, the peace bought with money and grain cannot be permanent. Zhang Lu gave Liu Yu a lot of filial piety, and Liu Yu would not be ambiguous when he didn't want to turn his face.
Zhang Lu's efforts were in vain, and his previous filial piety was also in vain. Enraged, Zhang Lu began to gather his forces and prepare to resist Liu Yu's unreasonable attack.
Zhang Lu was originally confident, but after Liu Zhang received Liu Yu's letter, he felt that this was a good opportunity to kill Zhang Lu and also send troops to Hanzhong. However, Liu Zhang did not send too many soldiers and horses, only about 10,000 people, mainly because Liu Zhang's internal problems were not completely solved, and he did not dare to send too many soldiers and horses.
Liu Zhang sent troops at this time, which made Zhang Lu very angry, but he had to mobilize troops and horses to defend.
Cai Mao of Xiangyang even sent a naval army against the current, preparing to recover Shangyong.
Zhang Lu was about to cry, this was a few ways of fighting, he didn't have the confidence to win this war.
For a while, the eyes of all the princes were attracted here.
Liu Yu didn't care so much, he was now humming a minor tune, all the way to the west.
