Hanzhong County.

Knowing the current situation in Guanzhong, Liu Yu smiled and said, "Now, only Li Jue and Guo Si are left in Guanzhong. I think these two people will turn against each other sooner or later, and then it will be my chance."

Guo Jia nodded and joked with a smile: "Brother is right. Li Jue and Guo Si will definitely turn against each other in the future. After all, the emperor and the court are in their hands, and the court only thinks that one person has power over the court and the country, and it is hard to accommodate two tigers in one mountain. Now that the two are in power, how can they not decide the level of the matter? Wait until the two are killed and both lose the loss is a good opportunity for the elder brother."

"Report! Lord, a sergeant came to Juxian Pavilion. He was from Chengde, Huainan. He called himself a descendant of Guangwu. His surname was Liu, his name was Ye, and his courtesy name was Ziyang." Suddenly, a soldier came to report.

Liu Yu was overjoyed: "Have Liu Ye arrived?"

Then he went to Juxian Pavilion with Guo Jia to meet Liu Ye.

Speaking of which, since conquering Hanzhong and Wudu County, Liu Yu has already held a vast territory of more than 40 cities in the five counties. With a large territory, he felt that there were fewer people in his hands, so he asked Guo Jia if he had any talented and virtuous "classmates" and asked Guo Jia to write a letter to recommend him to come.

Guo Jia recommended Liu Ye, a friend he made in the past.

Speaking of Liu Ye, his fame was also extremely great among the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. Although he was a relative of the Han Dynasty and a descendant of Guangwu's direct line, he clearly saw that the Han Dynasty was in decline and could not be sustained. He never thought about restoring the Han Dynasty. He only focused on planning things and benefiting the people. In history, he was a veteran of the three dynasties of Cao Wei and was awarded the title of "Jinghou" after his death.

In Liu Yu's eyes, Liu Ye is not a top strategist, not as smart as Guo Jia, but he is a top talent in the management of the people and the logistics of the people, that is, Xiao He's talent. To a certain extent, Liu Ye's role is even more powerful than that of a top strategist.

When he arrived at Juxian Pavilion, he saw Liu Ye. He first had a routine teaching exam. Then, Liu Yu appointed Liu Ye as a Hanzhong County Bureau clerk, specializing in money, grain and people's livelihood. He was extremely excited.

In fact, in addition to the letters written by a friend Guo Jia to invite Liu Ye, Liu Yu also made a loud statement and held five counties in his hand. Liu Ye felt that Liu Yu had a glimmer of talent in Guangwu. When he saw the decline of the Han Dynasty, he did not force the restoration of the Han Dynasty. However, if the Han Dynasty really had talent in Guangwu, he naturally hoped to assist such people and reshape the Han Dynasty. Liu Yu was the possible talent in Guangwu in his eyes.

In the Juxian Pavilion, Liu Yu routinely took the test of Liu Ye's talent. Don't you know that Liu Ye also secretly tested Liu Yu's character and character? It depends on whether Liu Yu really has a talent of martial arts. There is no doubt that Liu Yu passed Liu Ye's test, so Liu Ye was willing to stay and assist Liu Yu.

"Lord, Ye recommends two of you." After Liu Ye was convinced, he bowed his hand to recommend Liu Yu.

Liu Yu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Who is it?"

Liu Ye said: "One is from Changyi, Shanyang, with a surname of Man, with a name of Chong and a courtesy name of Boning; the other is from Wucheng, with a surname of Lu and a name of Qian and a courtesy name of Zike."

Man Chong, Lu Qian? It turns out that these two people were actually recommended by Liu Ye.

Liu Yu was overjoyed, and Lu Qian was both famous cruel officials and capable ministers around Cao Cao in history. Man Chong was a cruel official. If there were the Jinyiwei like the Ming Dynasty, Man Chong would be the most suitable Jinyiwei commander. Without Man Chong, Cao Cao's rule would not be so stable in history. Lu Qian was like Liu Ye, a famous civil affairs talent. After conquering cities and territory, he needed such talents to stabilize people's livelihood and govern people's livelihood.

Liu Yuxi said: "Zi Yang is a great talent. The people he recommends must also have great talents. Please invite these two people to come quickly. I will entrust them with important tasks."

Liu Ye bowed and said, "Thank you lord!"

About half a month later, Man Chong and Lu Qian came to Hanzhong, and Liu Yu met in person, and Ru Nuo entrusted important tasks.

In addition to Liu Ye, Man Chong and Lu Qian, Juxian Pavilion has also come one after another. Liu Yu finally felt that there were enough people around him.

...

Ordnance Department.

Liu Yu, Guo Jia, Liu Ye, Guan Yu, Man Chong, and Lu Qian were all present. Liu Yu played with this 'modao' with a handle two feet long, a blade more than four feet long, and a total length of more than six feet long, with a cold and stern "modao".

Liu Ye was shocked: "Is this cast by fine steel?"

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it was made of fine steel, called 'Modao'. I want to build a strong soldier of Modao to accompany me to conquer the world." After that, Liu Yu looked arrogant and looked like a king.

Liu Ye was secretly frightened, and at the same time he was even more determined what he thought. Liu Yu was another talent of the Han Dynasty, and he also became more determined to assist Liu Yu in his heart to reunify the world and revive the Han Dynasty.

Looking at Mo Dao, Liu Ye sighed: "This is a peerless fierce soldier. If it becomes an army, the world will be trembling."

Guan Yu was more excited than everyone. Looking at the Mo Dao, his heartbeat accelerated more than twice, and his face, which had been blushing even more flushed. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his Qinglong Yanyue Sword was not as good as the Mo Dao, and even more powerful as the Mo Dao.

Guan Yu asked Liu Yu: "Brother, I don't know if I can create a sword for Yu, Yu wants to change his sword."

Liu Yu thought and said with a smile: "Of course, Yun Changli uses this Modao."

Immediately, Liu Yu ordered the Ordnance Department to tailor a sword for Guan Yu according to Guan Yu's request.

At this moment, it has been more than half a year since the original improvement of the steelmaking method and the ability to build a steel sword at five times the cost of creating an ordinary iron sword, and Modao has also created a thousand handles.

A thousand Modao can already be formed initially with a Modao Army.

By the way, creating these thousand Mo Dao really consumed Liu Yu's countless money and food. The mountain-like gold and silver wealth he obtained when he pursued Dong Zhuo was defeated has been used up almost half. With his current ability, even if he devoted all his wealth, he could only create at most three thousand Mo Dao.

Don’t think that after improvement, you can create a steel sword at five times the price of creating an ordinary iron sword. Just think that the price of creating a modao sword is similar to creating five iron swords. It’s wrong, it’s a big difference.

You should know that a steel sword is only three feet long, while a Mo knife is more than six feet long, and the handle and blade are both wider than the steel sword. It can be said that the cost of creating a Mo knife is no less than the cost of four steel swords, that is, the cost of twenty ordinary iron swords.

It can be imagined how much it would be to create 3,000 Mo swords and Liu Yu could create 60,000 iron swords.

That is, when he was chasing Dong Zhuo, in addition to recovering a large amount of money and grain population, he also seized a large amount of ordinary weapons. There is no shortage of ordinary weapons for the time being. Otherwise, even if he was willing to pay for the money and grain, he would not be able to build a Mo Dao.

Two days later, Guan Yu got the Mo Dao tailored for himself, which was nine feet long and had a wider and thicker blade. This was a real killing weapon. If he fought on the battlefield and encountered a dense area of ​​enemy soldiers, he could slash him horizontally with one knife, or he could cut more than a dozen enemy soldiers in half, what kind of majesty would it be!

Excited is Guan Yu’s only mood at this moment.

Guan Yu threw away his Qinglong Yanyue Sword! Instead, he played with and started to use the nine-foot-sized Mo Dao in his hand.

Whoever said that Guan Gong must play with a big sword? Guan Yu played with a big sword that was nine feet long, and his power was even more shocked. It was not just a big talk. With this sword, Guan Yu's force increased sharply. Even Zhao Yun may not be Guan Yu's opponent. It was even said that only Lu Bu could fight Guan Yu.

Since Mo Dao has it, the arrow will be on the string when forming a Mo Dao Army.

Guan Yu is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to command the Mo Dao Army. Liu Yu appointed Guan Yu as the General of Mo Dao, and was ordered to select 3,000 people to be selected as the Mo Dao Army in the 100,000 army. First, he trained with a thousand Mo Dao relays. After all three thousand Mo Dao soldiers were built, the Mo Dao Army will officially become an army and will be powerful all over the world.

...

Just as Liu Yu was in full swing to form the Modao Army, Chang'an City actually sent an envoy to come.

It was Li Jue, and Guo Si, who appointed Liu Yu as General Zhenxi and Marquis of Hanzhong under the name of Emperor Xian of Han.

Although Liu Yu disdained, Emperor Xian of Han was the nominal lord of the world after all. He was able to win the name of Hanzhong Marquis. It was more legitimate to rule the five counties including Hanzhong, so Liu Yu also seemed to respectfully receive the imperial edict.

In fact, Li Jue and Guo Si not only granted Liu Yu, but also granted Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, one as the governor of Jizhou, the general of Zhenbei, and the other as the governor of Yanzhou, the general of Zhendong.

The reason was that the invasion of Han Sui and Ma Teng's coalition forces against Chang'an made Li Jue and Guo Si realize that they were not able to control the world by occupying Chang'an, and the princes in the world had to listen to them. If one of them did not do it well, the princes in the world would attack them again like Han Sui and Ma Teng. Therefore, the two of them won over the powerful princes in the world in the name of Emperor Xian of Han.

Liu Yu was the first person they thought of. After all, they killed Hua Xiong, fought against Lu Bu, and defeated Dong Zhuo. The two of them were also hunted down at the beginning, and they were quite frightened by Liu Yu's power. Moreover, Liu Yu occupied Hanzhong, Shangyong and other five counties, which were very close to Guanzhong. If Liu Yu wanted to attack Chang'an, he would definitely not be as difficult as Han Sui and Ma Teng.
