As Xu Shu expected, Liu's army was divided into three armies to attack Yizhou. Liu Jun's three-way army, under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Liu Yu, went straight to Yizhou.

The first to start the war was the Western Road army led by Zhuge Liang, and the Yizhou defenders of Wudu County had long been ready to face the battle, and they used the steep checkpoints to confront Zhuge Liang. Wudu County Taishou Wushi was a local official newly promoted by Liu Bei, and he was deeply favored by Liu Bei, and he worked very hard for Liu Bei.

Xu Shu also gave Wushi an order to defend to the death, and blocked all the roads from Wudu County to Hanzhong.

However, this could not stop the army led by Zhuge Liang at all.

Zhuge Liang adopted the most primitive offensive method, directly crushing the past with a large number of troops, and was not afraid of any defense at all.

Several defensive cities in Wudu County were broken by Zhuge Liang in an instant, and Wudu County was full of flames, and there was a great posture of being easily broken by Zhuge Liang. Wu Shi wanted to send troops to fight in the field, but he couldn't compare with Zhuge Liang in terms of troops, so he could only watch Zhuge Liang continue to penetrate into the core area of Wudu County.

The Eastern Road army led by Sima Yi was completely different from the battle situation on Zhuge Liang's side.

Sima Yi learned that Liu Bei had sent his brother-in-law Wei Yan to Brazil County, and was in charge of the three counties of Brazil, Padang, and Ba County. In other words, Sima Yi had to face the strength of three counties. In terms of troops, the gap between Sima Yi and Wei Yan was not large, and they could not directly use the advantage of numbers to launch an attack like Zhuge Liang.

According to the scouts, Wei Yan personally sat in Pasir County, and even increased the defense capability of various checkpoints in Pasir County by more than one level.

Sima Yi was not afraid of such a defense at all, and this time, he had several top generals under him. There are Ma Chao, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren.

Wei Yan faced Sima Yi's army, hurriedly mobilized his troops to garrison, and went to the front line to supervise the battle.

Relying on Wei Yan's previous preparations and Sima Yi's intention to observe the strength of Liu Beijun in Yizhou, the first battle between the two sides soon began in Nanjiang City, on the border of Pasir County and Hanzhong County.

The battle ended in a draw.

It was a surprise to everyone.

The originally aggressive Liu Jun of the East Road was trying to take Nanjiang City in one fell swoop, but he was beaten back and his morale was frustrated. Wei Yan was even more happy and cheered.

Ma Chao, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren were even more depressed.

However, Sima Yi smiled more slightly, and he couldn't see how disappointed he was at all.

The middle army is the Chinese army led by Liu Yu.

This road has the largest number of troops, and the number of generals is the most.

Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Hua, and Cao Zhang are all among them. Ma Chao, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren were given to Sima Yi, while Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Cao Ang were given to Zhuge Liang.

Liu Yu killed Zitong directly, and almost did not encounter any obstacles. What can slow down the march of Liu Yu's army is the steep terrain.

Liu Yu now understands why Cao Wei had so much time to attack Yizhou in history, but finally gave up. This terrain alone is a huge test for the march, and the logistical pressure will continue to increase over time. If Yizhou is stubbornly defended, the attacker will not be able to open the situation for a long time, and finally can only retreat.

If the troops are withdrawn, the defenders of Yizhou will not be so easy to let go of the attacking enemy. No one will let go of such a good thing as beating the water dogs.

Of course, Liu Yu knew that such consequences would occur if the war situation persisted, but he never thought about withdrawing from the army this time, and he would not give up if he did not take Yizhou. Otherwise, Liu Yu would not be able to take Yizhou in person, so how would the Shenwu Imperial Court launch an offensive against Yizhou in the future?

The people of Yizhou did not expect that a huge war would break out at a time when they did not expect it at all.

Especially some small and medium-sized families in Yizhou, they are all terrified.

In general, in a war of this scale, they have some intelligence. But this time it was different, they didn't hear anything at all.

Whether it was Liu Bei or Shenwu Emperor Liu Yu, he had no intention of spreading the news at all.

In fact, it was Liu Yu who desperately blocked the news, and Liu Bei was passive. When Liu Bei learned the information, he could only hold it down and deal with it himself, so as not to cause chaos in the whole of Yizhou.

Liu Bei and Xu Shu's countermeasures were useful. At least the current Yizhou is stable, and it has not become a mess because of Liu Yu's sudden attack.

The Shenwu Imperial Court concealed all the movements, although it made Liu Bei have no more time to prepare, and at the same time, it also gave the family in Yizhou one less choice. The Yizhou family has heard that the son of today is not very kind to the family, and now it seems that the rumors are true. Fortunately, the holy decree issued by the Son of Heaven still gave the family a little hope. Doesn't it mean that those who are willing to get lost and return to the imperial court can be retained in their original positions? That's their chance.

But Liu Bei had made preparations in advance, so that these families would not dare to move now.

Now there is only one way in front of the family, and that is to wait.

It's not just waiting, but doing what Liu Bei tells him to do, not making any effort to work, and watching the court and Liu Bei divide the winners and losers.

If Liu Bei wins, the family will of course be a model of wholeheartedly supporting Yizhou Mu to resist tyranny. If the imperial court wins, then the families must be threatened and bewitched by Liu Bei, and now is the best time to set things right and eradicate the national thieves.

No matter what the result is, the families will make the corresponding statements, and they will not suffer.

It's a pity that their calculations seem to be wrong. Liu Bei is guarding against them, this is true. Both sides are in a relationship of mutual utilization. But Liu Yu's side is not such a concept at all. Yizhou is rich, there are so many families, and there are also factions such as local, Dongzhou, and Jingzhou. The family in Yizhou was busy with infighting when they were stable, only caring about their own one-third of an acre of land, and completely ignoring things outside Yizhou. A good Yizhou can only stick to one side in the end.

Liu Yu will not let this situation continue to happen.

No, Liu Yu brought Liu Zhang with him this time. Together with Liu Zhang's son Liu Xun, they all brought it to Liu Yu, and it was called a beautiful name to train the younger generations.

Liu Zhang was very honored to be taken into the car of the Son of Heaven by Liu Yu and marched with Liu Yuyi. In the eyes of others, Liu Zhang is a great honor. Liu Zhang didn't think so.

Facing an emperor-like emperor, Liu Zhang felt that he was under great pressure.

What's more, Liu Yu asked Liu Zhang to drive his Son of Heaven car, constantly asking about the situation in Yizhou.

Liu Zhang believed that Liu Yu knew something about Yizhou, so he tried his best to know everything he could and said it one by one, for fear that he would say it wrong.

For example, Liu Zhang talked about the disputes and division of power between the Yizhou families, and at the same time euphemistically said that he was usurped by Liu Bei, and there were also reasons for his lack of strength.

"Uncle Huang, I didn't expect you to be so embarrassed in Yizhou. All these years, it's no wonder that you have been staying in Yizhou. Liu Yu can be regarded as giving a result to Liu Zhang's statement.

Liu Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nervously: "Your Majesty, you know how many catties and taels you have. Even without the checks and balances of these families, the ministers can only defend Yizhou. ”

Just kidding. If Liu Zhang is killed from Yizhou, he can only kill Jingzhou and Guanzhong. Liu Biao of Jingzhou was not an easy character to deal with when he was young, and his methods were black! It's not that Liu Zhang hasn't tried it, it's just that Liu Zhang's mind has been broken.

Needless to say, Liu Zhang has a painful lesson. I still remember that Liu Zhang moved his troops a little, but he was scared half to death by Liu Yu, and obediently sent a huge amount of money and food to buy peace.

What can you do with Liu Zhang?

Liu Yu knew Liu Zhang's difficulties, and from what Liu Zhang said, Liu Yu could not deny that even if Liu Zhang had the confidence to kill Yizhou, he would be defeated in the end. Either they were defeated by the enemy, or they were killed by their own subordinates.

"Uncle Huang, you don't have to be so nervous. According to the seniority, you are an elder. I have always respected the old and loved the young, Uncle Huang, you are so restrained, it really makes me embarrassed. Liu Yu brought Liu Zhang this time because Liu Zhang was useful, and he was worried that Liu Zhang would have an accident when he went out, so he would let him drive in the car of the Son of Heaven, who knew that Liu Zhang had been nervous from the beginning to the present.

Liu Zhang really wants to say: Only if you believe in you can you have a ghost, you kid is very bad.

But Liu Zhang tried to relax himself, barely smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is grateful. Tianwei is in front, no matter how bold the minister is, he is trembling. ”

This is the truth, Liu Zhang did not hide it.

"Okay, then Uncle Huang will go out and have a good rest." Liu Yu waved his hand to let Liu Zhang out, he didn't want Liu Zhang to continue to be in the car, so he made himself kind and made Liu Zhang very nervous, in case there was any heart attack.

Liu Zhang went out with gratitude, he really didn't want to stay in Liu Yu's car any longer.

Out of Liu Yu's car, Liu Zhang felt that the pressure on his body was gone in an instant.

"Your Majesty's every move is like a heavenly might, it is really a true destiny." Liu Zhang kept sighing in his heart.

After sighing, Liu Zhang looked for the traces of his eldest son Liu Xun, but found that Liu Xun was actually walking side by side with Liu Hua and chatting very well. Next to him is also Cao Zhang, who has a short thin yellow beard.

"It seems that after going through a lot, Ziwu also knows how to plan for his future." Liu Hua is Liu Yu's son, and Liu Xun was very pleased that Liu Xun was able to take the initiative to find a relationship with Liu Huala.

What needs to be corrected is that it is not Liu Xun who found Liu Hua, but Liu Hua who is pestering Liu Xun.

In Liu Zhang's eyes, Liu Hua and Liu Xun talked happily with each other, but in fact, Liu Xun couldn't say if he was bitter.

"Uncle Ziwu, I heard that your martial arts are good. How about the two of us have a fight? Liu Hua said eagerly.

Liu Hua's status is noble, not to mention Liu Xun, even any general in the army would not dare to compete with Liu Hua.

Liu Xun said with a wry smile: "Your Highness is noble, I am just a lowly captain, I really don't dare to discuss with Your Highness." ”

Liu Hua still smiled and said: "Let's not talk about any identity or not, as a martial artist, we should continue to learn to increase experience." It's good for you and me. ”

Since Liu Hua went out with the army, he has mingled with the soldiers and constantly learned from the soldiers' experience in the military. The soldiers all like Liu Hua and are willing to tell Liu Hua about their experience. Liu Hua has learned a lot these days, more than he had learned from Lu Zhi before. Well, this is Liu Hua's own opinion. If the dignified Confucian Lu Zhi and Lu Zigan knew about this, would he spew out a mouthful of old blood and die?

After gaining some experience, Liu Hua summed it up and actually operated it at the same time, and absorbed it very quickly.

But Liu Hua finally found that he had too little experience in personal combat.

Where is the deficiency to make up for it, Liu Hua is such a practical person, so he constantly looks for generals to learn.

But no military general is willing to compete with Liu Hua.

Needless to say, perverts like Lu Bu and Dian Wei are unwilling to compete with Liu Hua. In addition to Liu Hua's ability not reaching the point where they are willing to make a move, more importantly, they are afraid that if they accidentally can't control their strength, it will not be good to hurt Liu Hua.

The generals are like this, and the average military general is even more afraid to death. As soon as they saw Liu Hua coming to them to learn martial arts, they all found reasons to walk away, and didn't give Liu Hua a chance at all.

Liu Hua helplessly found himself in his situation, the generals would not fight with him, so he retreated and found some captains, finally okay.

However, no one in the whole army, not even a soldier, was unwilling to fight with Liu Hua.

made Liu Hua very popular.

And Liu Xun, who was temporarily transferred by Liu Yu, became the target of Liu Hua's initiative.

But Liu Xun is not stupid, he knows Liu Hua's identity, of course he doesn't dare to agree.

Cao Zhang, who was next to him, silently watched the conversation between Liu Hua and Liu Xun, and he felt sad for Liu Hua. Don't you just want to fight? No one wants to fight Liu Hua.

But if you want Cao Zhang and Liu Hua to have a discussion, Cao Zhang won't do it.

Before setting off with the army, Cao Cao told Cao Zhang that he would definitely ensure Liu Hua's safety. Cao Zhang didn't know why Cao Cao said this, but he did it anyway. Otherwise, with Cao Zhang's character, how could he follow Liu Hua's side.

Seeing that Liu Xun was unwilling, Liu Hua reluctantly gave up.

"Hey, why is it so difficult for me to learn martial arts." Liu Hua was full of emotion.

Cao Zhang and Liu Xunzhen wanted to tell Liu Hua that he could die of this heart.

In fact, Liu Hua can take the initiative to attack the other party and let others passively attack. In this way, the purpose of the competition can be achieved.

But Liu Hua didn't dare.

In the car of the Son of Heaven in front, sat his father, the most noble existence of the entire Han Dynasty. What if Liu Hua did this, and Liu Yu drove Liu Hua back?

Liu Yu and Liu Hua had said before that once Liu Hua did not abide by military law, they would not want to leave Luoyang City in the future.

Liu Hua didn't dare to test on the verge of death.
