Jia Xu raised a question. Although the main idea is very good, the first step is often the most difficult.

Yes, why didn't I think of this question!

Xun You sighed secretly in his heart, he was always thinking about the future plan, and never cared about how to occupy Yizhou, the most difficult problem.

"The yellow turbans are rampant in various places now, and His Majesty has sent troops from all over the country to fight against them. In my opinion, in a few years, His Majesty will send members of the clan to various states and counties to stabilize the country."

"My father, Liu Yan, is currently the Zongzheng of Jiuqing, and he is quite trusted by His Majesty. I will find an opportunity for him to invite him to Yizhou."

"It turns out that the lord has already planned!"

Xun You admired Liu Zhang for a while, it turned out that he had really thought it through! But there is one more important question.

"My lord, even if Master Liu Yan goes to Yizhou, but the lord is the fourth son, there are three older brothers!"

"Yes, this is also a problem."

Jia Xu also agrees with Xun You's problem very much. Since ancient times, the eldest son has inherited the great business.

As the fourth son, Liu Zhang will never get his turn no matter what!

Liu Zhang smiled wryly, he couldn't answer this question.

In history, his two elder brothers died in Chang'an, and he was elected as the shepherd of Yizhou because of his cowardly character.

Now that he is so good, the gentry in Yizhou will definitely not lure wolves into the house again.

"My three elder brothers are all white-faced scholars. They can only be officials, and they can't be the masters of others!"

"I intend to be the county guard first, and then move according to the situation."

What Liu Zhang said was cryptic, but the meaning was very clear.

After Liu Yan's death, seize Yizhou by force!

"Brothers will fight each other at that time, and they will fight each other! Is the lord really up to it?"

Jia Xu looked at Liu Zhang with sharp eyes, he wanted to see through Liu Zhang's heart and understand his true thoughts.

Obviously Jia Xu was too worried, not to mention his three elder brothers, even Liu Yan might not be able to stop Liu Zhang from moving forward!

"In the past, Gaozu fought with Xiang Yu for hegemony, Xiang Yu captured Gaozu's father, and wanted to cook with Gaozu, did Gaozu hesitate at all?"

"It's not that Liu Zhang is cruel and merciless, and he doesn't care about family affection. It's just that in the face of big right and wrong, there will inevitably be trade-offs!"

"But gentlemen, don't worry, Liu Zhang is not a bloodthirsty person, and he will definitely not hurt his brother's life!"

Liu Zhang's eyes are firm and his logic is clear. From Jia Xu's point of view, this must be his true inner thoughts!

"That's good. Since the lord is mentally prepared, the subordinate will not say any more!"

"Wenhe, don't worry!"

Jia Xu's question was answered satisfactorily, and Xun You asked another question.

"Where does the lord intend to take root?"

Jia Xu glanced at Xun You appreciatively, this question was also what he wanted to know.

The foothold is very important, and it involves future development and short-term planning, which is also the job of Jia Xu and Xun You.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Zhang blurted out.

"Hanzhong!"

really!

Jia Xu and Xun You's eyes lit up, and their goal was also Hanzhong. But we still need to listen to Liu Zhang's reasons.

"Why did my lord choose Hanzhong?"

"Yizhou is known as the land of abundance, and it really benefits from Chengdu and the two major plains in Hanzhong."

"Yizhou has a total population of 1.52 million households and a population of 7.24 million. However, Hanzhong County has only 60,000 households and a population of less than 300,000."

"From this point of view, Chengdu Plain is the best choice!"

Liu Zhang secretly laughed in his heart that these two people knew the truth!

I also want to take root in Chengdu Plain, can my father agree!

"First, if my father is a Yizhou shepherd, Chengdu must be under his control! This situation is not conducive to our development."

"Secondly, Cai Gongda also said that Yizhou's advantages are concentrated in Chengdu and the Hanzhong Plain, so the weight of the two is the same! Delong can look forward to Shu! Although Long originally meant Longxi, the key point is indeed in Hanzhong !"

"Thirdly, the population problem. Now that the Yellow Turbans have been poisoning all over the country, the population has dropped sharply. The Yellow Turbans in Shuzhong are insufficient, but they are also poisoning Shu County. Hanzhong County has very little disaster. Although Hanzhong has a small population, the relative influence of the aristocratic families is also very small. Now that the Yellow Turbans in Shu County are in rebellion and Beigong Boyu in Liangzhou is rebelling, there is bound to be a large influx of refugees."

"Fourth, the location of Hanzhong is a natural defensive fortress! It is separated from Guanzhong by the Qinling Mountains, from Shangyong by the Han River, and from the land of Shu by a pass! We only need to rely on a small number of troops to stop powerful enemies!"

"At that time, we will accept the refugees and encourage farmers and mulberry farmers. In a short time, our army will have enough food and resources to take advantage of the right time, place and people! At that time, the soldiers will turn to Yizhou. Who can stop us!"

It's not that Liu Zhang is arrogant, he really didn't pay attention to the land of Yizhou.

In history, the extremely cowardly Liu Zhang was able to quell the rebellion and rule Xichuan. Not to mention the current Liu Zhang!

Apparently Jia Xu and Xun You thought so too. They cared about where to take root and how to develop, but they never paid attention to how to dominate Yizhou!

It is because they are all too confident, so confident that occupying Yizhou is like picking something out of a pocket!

"My lord is far-sighted, I admire you!"

Xun You also nodded with a smile, his eyes full of approval.

"We will do our best to help the lord!"

"You two gentlemen, don't praise me any more. If you praise me again, you will go to heaven!"

Liu Zhang blushed a little, almost all his plans were plagiarized!

"By the way, Brother Gongda, you need to take care of the matter of soldiers and horses. He Jin will inevitably make things difficult for him!"

"My lord, don't worry, I will definitely coordinate with you, General!"

Xun You didn't take it seriously at all. In his opinion, if he couldn't settle even one He Jin, he would have no face to be valued by Liu Zhang so much!

"So, let's get here first today, thank you for your hard work, gentlemen!"

"My lord, you're welcome, I'll take my leave!"

Until today, Liu Zhang's heart has truly settled down.

Because Liu Bei had no strategic plan, he was kicked out in the early stage and ran around.

Liu Zhang took this as a lesson, and since the day he knew his identity, he has been planning his future path.

After all, one person is short-sighted, no matter how confident he is, how much he understands history, Liu Zhang's heart is like duckweed without roots, and the bright moon has no shadow, always hanging in the air!

Now both Jia Xu and Xun You have affirmed him, all he needs to do is to strengthen his faith and go on step by step, and he will eventually achieve great things!

Liu Zhang's heart is settled, and he is even more firm!

He no longer has any worries about his path to hegemony. He may lose in battle and fail in the future, but his heart will never be shaken!

Wu has Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Wen has Xun You, Jia Xu!

What a luxurious lineup is this? Not to mention Liu Bei, even if Cao A concealed it in the early days of the army, he would never have such a lineup!

The joining of Jia Xu and Xun You has encouraged Liu Zhang beyond words!

Finally let him completely walk out of the shadow of failing to recruit Tian Feng.

Liu Zhang clenched his fist and swung it violently!

Come on, princes in troubled times, I, Liu Zhang, are waiting for you!
