Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 144
Together, Lu Bu's army wiped out more than 13 enemies, and surrendered the enemy troops, mainly about 17000 soldiers from Xiliang. Ma Teng and Han then led [-] people and fled to Wuwei County.The most miserable ones were the Qiang people. Only more than ten thousand people escaped to their lives. After returning to the inhabited area, they fled further west together with the remaining clansmen there.

Afterwards, the Qiang people's faces changed when they heard about Lu Bu, and they had no strength at all, let alone the courage to fight against Lu Bu.

Next, Lu Bu initiated a surrender to Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Ma Teng and other people discussed and accepted Lu Bu's surrender. Ma Teng was appointed as a member of the imperial court, while Ma Chao could command an army of 8500 people as a general, and Pound as a lieutenant of other armies; Han Sui He was also ordered to serve as a court official for the elderly.Yan Xing, as a general of Zhonglang, commanded an army to reassure himself.The generals of the remaining ministries make their own arrangements.

Lu Bu ordered the appointment of local officials in Liangzhou through Shangshu Province. Of course, positions such as Liangzhou Mu and Liangzhou Governor will not be established at this stage.

In the counties of Zhangye and Dunhuang in the west of Liangzhou, Lu Bu left garrisons.

"Open the Silk Road again!" Lu Bu made a decision. On the one hand, it can vigorously develop the weak economy, and on the other hand, it is to cover up Lu Bu's plan.

Lu Bu's secret plan is naturally to enter the Western Regions at the right time!

To this end, he also set up the Western Regions Protectorate, sent envoys to countries in the Western Regions; sent cavalry to investigate and collect information in the name of caravans or caravan guards; Yes, it is military exercise and temptation at the same time.

The Western Regions will return to the embrace of China one day.

After doing all this, Lu Bu's army was repaired. This time, the number of troops returning to the division reached 12.

However, Lu Bu did not return to Chang'an honestly.

In the name of returning to Chang'an, he launched a strategic surprise attack on the west of the Hanzhong area, Wudu County. In a short period of time, the army swept across the unprepared Wudu County.

It wasn't until Zhang Lu discovered the problem that he realized that Lu Bu's army had occupied the entire Wudu, was repairing the plank road, and was about to come to Hanzhong!
"Could it be that they are building plank roads in the open and hiding the warehouses! Lu Bu's soldiers and horses may have come in from other roads! Quickly analyze and go to intercept them!" Zhang Lu naturally ignored his surprise and complaints, and ordered.He didn't have many troops, so he had to mobilize urgently to stop where Lu Bu's army might appear, and at the same time stepped up the demolition of plank roads on all roads.

However, this obstruction is doomed to be in vain.

Lu Bu didn't attack from any route, but from every route! The 12 army, and the 3 civilians in the logistics, such a powerful force, were divided into five teams and fought out from five roads!The soldiers are like a rainbow, unstoppable.Zhang Lu's [-] people only blocked two of the troops.

Lu Bu still had three groups of men and horses, who came out unimpeded and entered the plains of Hanzhong!The empty Hanzhong was soon captured by Lu Bu, Zhang Lu committed suicide, and the frontline troops simply surrendered to the court.

The lightning was too fast to cover the ears, and within a month, Lu Bu pacified the whole place again.

At this time, Liu Yan and others in Yizhou just woke up like a dream, and they hastened to strengthen the guard at each pass.Mianzhuguan, Jiange, and other main roads have been heavily armed, and each of them has become a tight fortress.

Faced with this situation, Lu Bu did not hesitate or delay, and quickly dispatched troops to stabilize the three counties including Shangyong and expand the ruling area, which was also a means of distributing logistical pressure.After all, Shangyong, Hanzhong, and Wudu are such a large area that they can support [-] to [-] soldiers and horses. In this way, it is not impossible for Guanzhong to support it.

Liu Biao in Jingzhou was very dissatisfied and hostile to Lu Bu's actions. From this point of view, is Lu Bu going to attack Jingzhou?Liu Biao and the various aristocratic families in Jingzhou acted immediately, recruiting troops and expanding their strength to ensure the safety of Jingzhou.They also united with Cao Cao to jointly fight against the aggressive Lv Bu army forces.

In fact, Lu Bu had no such plan, he still wanted to enter Shu.

At this time, it was already July of 193. The autumn harvest was just around the corner, and there was no food problem. The key point was that Cao Cao was still in a decisive battle with Yuan Shu.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

good chance.

However, the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky.

The mountains are majestic, majestic and majestic, but the manpower is small, and because the roads are difficult to walk, logistics is a big problem. Lu Bu's military strength was forced to be limited to 5.This is the limit of power.Tens of thousands of troops returned to Guanzhong under the leadership of Zhang Liao.

Gao Shun led a part of the troops to defend Hanzhong and threaten Jingzhou.

Lu Bu personally led [-] main forces to attack Shu!
Both Xun You and Jia Xu were recruited to deal with various barriers, their innumerable schemes, plus Lu Bu's unimaginable ideas, various perspectives, and countless experiences as a basis!One by one, the fortresses were captured, surrendered, and destroyed. The gates of Shu were being pushed open by Lu Bu's army.

Finally, Liu Yan gave up his defense and gathered all his troops, a total of 8 horses, to engage in a decisive battle with the approaching Lu Bu army near Luocheng.

The powerful Lu Bu army once again won a brilliant victory.

Liu Yan died of illness in frustration, and his sons were either exiled or removed from office. In short, a separatist power of princes perished.Xu Huang made great contributions in this battle. Lu Bu appointed him as the general of the Shu region, mainly the Ba County in the upper reaches of Jingzhou, and ordered him to form a new navy.

In central Shu, apart from the Chengdu Plain, there are rolling mountains. The Nanman clan in the south also often turmoil and disobedient to discipline.

Lu Bu formed a mountain corps, and the formation of mountain infantry will become his trump card elite troops in Shu.

The aristocratic families in the Shu region are quite powerful. Lu Bu was stationed in Chengdu himself, and began to deal with these guys carefully.

The southern barbarians mainly focused on enlightenment and Sinicization.

Just like Zhuge Liang's actions in history, Lu Bu sent troops to teach the Nanmans how to cultivate rice, learn medicine, improve buildings, and remodel low-lying, very humid houses into high places with ventilation and sunshine.

A system of quasi chieftains was also established to control the barbarians with barbarians.

He also took the opportunity to recruit soldiers and organize them into the mountain infantry. Those barbarians are natural mountain soldiers with incomparable bravery!

Under various measures, Nanzhong gradually stabilized, and Yizhou gradually stabilized, and its hidden potential began to explode.

In this way, Lu Bu's strength expanded rapidly, commanding 20 troops!The population is more than 350 million!The territory is vast, including Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Yizhou.
