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

When the Shu army left Qishan for the first time, Zhuge Liang used Baoxie Dao as a guise to attract Cao Zhen's heavy troops.

He himself led the army to take the Qishan Road, captured Qishan, cut off the connection between Nan'an, Tianshui and Anding and Chang'an, and forced the three counties to rebel against Wei and surrender to Shu.

Guanzhong was shaken, and Emperor Wei Ming personally sat in Chang'an and appointed veteran Zhang Yun.

Before long, Zhang He defeated Ma Su at Jieting, Wang Ping was unable to support himself, and the Shu army had to retreat.

Of course, the popular empty city strategy in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not official history, but compiled by Guo Chong, a man from the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

In the Battle of Jieting, the commander of the Wei army was Zhang Yun, not Sima Yi. At that time, Sima Yi was still in Luoyang thousands of miles away.

Walking in the praise ramp, Hua Yu couldn't help sighing.

If Shu is strong, Guanzhong is in danger.

If Shu is weak, Guanzhong will be stable.

Although the land in Guanzhong is good, irrigated by the Zhengguo Canal, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles away, its safety is too much threatened by Yizhou.

Liu Yan was old and had three sons as hostages in Chang'an, so he dared not send troops.

Otherwise, if Liu Bei were in Yizhou instead, he would definitely go north to seek Dong.

In this way, there is an allied army of princes in the east and Shu army in the south. If Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang can be persuaded, how can Dong Zhuo survive?
Similarly, if Guan Zhong is strong, Han Zhong is dangerous.

If Guanzhong is weak, Hanzhong will be stable.

Hua Yu even thought that Dong Zhuo would not have dared to build a dock in Mei County without the three of Liu Fan as hostages in Chang'an.

Among Dong Zhuo's more than 20 troops, there must be at least [-], deployed in these important towns.

At this time, at the other end of Baoxie Road, southwest of Hanzhong County, Mianzhu City, the seat of Yizhou, Liu Yan's second plan is underway.

In the State Shepherd's Mansion in Mianzhu City, Wu Yi hurried over: "Uncle hurriedly summoned my nephew, but Ji Yu has already returned to Shu and is about to arrive in Mianzhu?"

However, after asking this question, Wu Yi felt it was inappropriate.

Because Liu Yan's face was pulled, and the sad look on his face was definitely not the joy brought about by Liu Zhang's upcoming return to Shu.

Wu Yi's heart skipped a beat: "Uncle, could it be... Could it be that something happened?"

"Alas..." Liu Yan sighed, and instead of answering Wu Yi's question, he stood up, cupped his hands and bowed to Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was startled, jumped up like a frog, and stepped aside to avoid Liu Yan's bow.

Just kidding, Liu Yan is Yizhou Mu, the local emperor here.

Besides, Liu Yan is an uncle, and Wu Yi is a junior, so it's no wonder he dared to accept his worship.

Wu Yi hurriedly asked again: "Uncle, what happened, but Ji Yu couldn't return to Shu?"

But Wu Yi was wrong to think about it. Even if Liu Zhang couldn't come back, it wouldn't matter.

Because Liu Zhang and Wu Cheng's marriage is currently only known to them, it has no effect on Wu Cheng's reputation.

"That's not the case." Liu Yan shook his head lightly, picked up a letter from the desk, and sighed, "Ziyuan, this is Dong thief's reply letter, after you read it, you will know what happened Something happened."

Wu Yi took it immediately, took out the letter, and opened it to read.

"My brother Junlang, my younger brother Dong Zhuo pays homage to me."

Junlang is Liu Yan's cousin.

This is the beginning, Wu Yi thought to himself, this thief Dong is being polite to his uncle.

"Knowing that Ji Yu's nephew is about to get married, my younger brother is overjoyed. Congratulations to Brother Junlang in advance."

"The three nephews are officials in Chang'an. My younger brother takes good care of them and treats them like a parent and child. I dare not neglect you in the slightest. Brother Junlang, don't worry about it."

"Ji Yu's nephew is getting married this time. As an uncle, I will naturally help with all my strength. I will definitely make Brother Jun Lang satisfied with the wedding."

"However, Ji Yu's nephew is an official appointed by the imperial court. If he returns to his hometown to get married, my younger brother privately thinks that it is very inappropriate."

"Besides, brother Junlang's hometown is Jingling County, Jiangxia, Jingzhou, not Mianzhu, Yizhou."

"As my little brother, why don't you invite Brother Junlang's family to come to Chang'an to have a happy event together."

"After the big wedding is completed, if brother Junlang has time, he can stay in Chang'an for a few days, and the younger brother will accompany him throughout the journey."

"If brother Junlang is busy with Yizhou affairs, he will return to Shu immediately. I don't know what brother Junlang wants?"

"Little brother Dong Zhuo pays respects again."

Next, there is a seal with the words "Grand Master Dong Zhuo" engraved on it.

"This..." Wu Yi was dumbfounded after reading it. Dong Zhuo actually invited Liu Yan's family to Chang'an?
Isn't this meat buns beating dogs, once you go, you don't want to come back?
Liu Yan smiled wryly and said, "This matter is only my fault."

"The old man had dealt with Dong thief before, and thought he was just a reckless man from Xiliang, so he made a plan to use marriage to facilitate Zhang'er's return to Shu."

"But I don't want to, the old man ignores that there are two big think tanks beside Dong thief, one is Li Ru, and the other is Tian Yi."

"These two people must have seen through the old man's strategy, so they followed the plan and wanted to make the old man submit."

"If the old man agrees to this matter, then the old man's family will throw themselves into the trap this time, and there will be no possibility of returning to Shu in the future."

"However, if the old man refuses this matter, Thief Dong will definitely use this as an excuse, threatening that the big marriage that the old man said was deliberately defrauding him."

"Once Bandit Dong thoroughly investigates this matter, I'm afraid Zhang'er will lose his life."

"Even if Zhang'er died at the hands of Dong Zhuo, and Fan'er and Dan'er are still under his control, what can I do?"

Now, Wu Yi understood what he heard, and couldn't help but gasp.

Dong Zhuo was following this matter, and it was indeed not easy to resolve it.

Let them get married, Liu Yan will definitely not go to Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo will not let Liu Zhang go back to Shu.

Don't let them get married, Dong Zhuo will dare to behead Liu Zhang on the pretext that Liu Yan lied to him, so as to make an example of others.

Wu Yi is not a wise general, on the contrary, he is a high-pitched and strong person, who does not think carefully about things.

In history, if it wasn't for Wu Cheng's marriage to Liu Bei and becoming the queen of Shu, Wu Yi would never have been able to show his talents.

This is how to do?
Wu Yi was dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what should I do?"

At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the door: "I have a plan to relieve the worries of the state shepherd."

Wu Yi immediately looked outside the door. It was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, but with a woman's hairstyle. It was Zhang Lu's stepmother, Zhu Shi.

"Wu Yi has met Mrs. Zhang." Wu Yi immediately saluted Mrs. Zhu, but thought in his heart that there were rumors in the city that his uncle had an affair with Zhang Lu's mother, and it seemed that it was true.

This time, Liu Yan's expression didn't change at all, obviously he knew that Mrs. Zhu was away.

Mrs. Zhu said with a smile, "Ziyuan doesn't know something. Mr. Zhou Mu received a reply from Dong thief yesterday, and he hasn't come up with a good plan to solve it."

"It just so happened that my concubine came to the State Shepherd's mansion to look for Sister Fei. I heard that both Lord State Shepherd and Sister Fei were worried about this matter, so I came up with a solution for Lord State Shepherd."

The elder sister Fei that Zhu said was Liu Yan's wife, Fei.

Fei's family is a big family in Jiangxia. Because Fei married Liu Yan, he followed him to Shu.

There are also some talents in his family, such as Fei Boren and Fei Guan, Fei's two nephews.

At that time, the most famous one was Fei Yi, the grandson of the Fei family, and one of the four prime ministers of Shu Han.

Wu Yi didn't bother to ask why Mrs. Zhu came to the State Shepherd's Mansion, and besides, it was not something he could ask.

But Mrs. Zhu said that she had a way to resolve this predicament, so Wu Yi couldn't help but cheer up, and immediately asked, "I wonder what good strategy Mrs. Zhang has?"
