After sighing a few words, Liu Yu said again: "This Zhang Ren is quite trusted by Cao Cao!" Before he surrendered, he could lead an army alone, and all the soldiers under his command were soldiers from Yizhou......"

"I heard that Zhang Ren has married Cao Hong's daughter. —. {2} {3} {}{x}]”

"Oh?" Such news can always arouse Liu Yu's interest: "How old is Zhang Ren, he must be much older than Cao Hong's daughter, right?" ”

"Yes." Guo Jia nodded and said, "It is said that Zhang Ren is in his early thirties, and Cao Hong's daughter is not yet sixteen years old!" ”

"Tut-tut......" Liu Yu sighed silently for a while, and said: "I went to a Xiahou Yuan, and another Zhang Ren came, and this 'Five Sons Good General' composed of Cao Cao's relatives really kept his name...... By the way, how is Xiahoudun now? ”

"I heard that I was blind in one eye on the battlefield, because of the escape, I couldn't get effective treatment, and I almost died after returning to Cao Ying, and now I am forced by Cao Cao to stay in Chengdu to recuperate and train Yizhou soldiers."

Liu Yu thought for a while and asked, "Did Liu Zhang fall into Cao Cao's hands?" He promised Liu Yu to protect Liu Zhang's life, although he had already sent Cao Cao a sternly worded diplomatic letter, but Cao Cao would not be threatened by him, Liu Yu really did not dare to guarantee.

"Liu Zhang, under the protection of loyal generals such as Wu Yi, Wu Lan, Wu Ban, Yang Huai, and Gao Pei, and under Zhang Ren's intention, he had already left the city before the fall of Chengdu, and now he is going down by boat to Badong County."

"Who are still following him?"

"In addition to his family, five generals and 7,000 elite soldiers, there are also other drivers engaged in Wang Lei, soldiers Cao engaged in Zhang Song following him."

"Have the other Shu Chinese martial arts basically surrendered to Cao?"

"Yes." Guo Jia nodded. said: "The generals in the army, under the call of Zhang Ren, most of them took refuge in Cao Cao. And the important figures who surrendered partially in the civilian government are: Yangjiang Taishou Peng Yang. Brazil is too shou Pang Yi, Li Hui is engaged in governance, Huang Quan, the chief secretary of Yizhou, and Wang Fu and others are engaged in Yicao. ”

Hey, these seem to be Liu Bei's team in history? I didn't expect to be Cao Cao! Liu Yu sighed and asked, "What is the current population, economy, and situation in Shuzhong?" ”

"According to our intelligence, there are more than 460,000 households in Shuzhong. It has a population of more than 3.2 million, not including Jianning, Yunnan and other counties in Nanzhong......"

Yizhou has never experienced large-scale wars or natural disasters. In addition, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son are relatively generous lords, so the livelihood of the entire Yizhou is still one of the best in the world. If you add the counties of Yinan, its total population is at least 4 million or more, and it can be said that it is a large state with considerable human resources.

“…… Shuzhong is rich in products. There is not only coal but also iron. There is also the Yanjing Gold Mine, and the Shujin that knows the fate of the world, which is the most important financial source of Yizhou......"

At this point, Yizhou is indeed eye-catching. What is available elsewhere, it has; What is not available elsewhere, it also has. That Shu brocade is also very famous in history, not only the best-selling commodity on the "Southern Silk Road", but also the most important pillar to support the economy of Shu in the later period of the Three Kingdoms. One could even say. The hundreds of thousands of troops of Shu are basically fed by Shu brocade! It is no wonder that Cao Cao will be ruthless to abandon Yongzhou, which has been in business for ten years. And go all out to get Yizhou!

“…… The Yizhou Plain is fertile for thousands of miles, the grain production is extremely abundant, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, known as the reputation of "the country of abundance". If Cao Cao runs well, it will indeed bring us a lot of trouble. I hope the prince will make plans early! ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "I know, you can tell me about the current situation of other forces!" ”

"Yes, lord." Guo Jia took a sip of tea and said: "When the prince attacked Yongzhou, Liu Bei was also attacking Shixie in Jiaozhou with all his might. ”

"Oh?" Liu Yu was slightly puzzled: "Didn't Liu Bei start attacking Jiaozhou very early?" With those strategists and fierce generals under him, how could he not be able to take a small Shixie? ”

"Wechen thinks about it, this is mainly due to three reasons. First, the terrain of Jiaozhou is complex, and Liu Beijun has just arrived, so the natural progress is not smooth; Second, the Shixie clan can be said to be the natives of Jiaozhou, and their potential strength there is extremely strong, which is definitely not comparable to Liu Bei, who is based in Jingzhou; Third, Liu Bei had been assassinated, and the progress of his army was slightly blocked......"

"What do you say about Liu Bei's assassination?" Liu Yu asked in slight surprise.

"In the unfavorable situation of the war, the Shi family invited the top master of the South China Sea Crocodile God who was listed in the 'Miracle Skill List', and asked him to approach Liu Bei in the name of refuge, and the feeding machine was assassinated."

Liu Yu seems to have heard someone say before that the South China Sea crocodile god is the friend of life and death of the Shi family. I think this South China Sea crocodile god is also a very righteous man, otherwise, he would not die generously! You must know that with Guan Yu's arrogance and Zhang Fei's irritability, no matter whether the South China Sea Crocodile God can succeed in assassination, there is no possibility of survival!

"Liu Bei was extremely enthusiastic about the South China Sea Crocodile God who came to take refuge in him, not only hospitality, but also personally greeted him, but was struck away by the South China Sea Crocodile God with a palm......"

Liu Bei, this person, thinks that benevolence is invincible, and when he sees that everyone loves to pull other people's hands, this will finally eat turtles, right? Hehe, if you don't have the "spirit of a king", don't "shake your tiger body"! Shaking his head, Liu Yu asked, "What is the ending of the South China Sea Crocodile God?" Who killed him? ”

Guo Jia's answer was beyond his expectations: "The crocodile god of the South China Sea is not dead. Before Zhang Fei wanted to kill him, he was stopped by Liu Bei, and he didn't listen to the dissuasion to talk to the South China Sea Crocodile God alone......"

Is Liu Bei about to start showing his benevolence again? And he is not afraid that the South China Sea Crocodile God will strike again, after all, he is also the seventh among the "Top Ten Swordsmen", and the male and female swords! Although he was a little injured, but under his guard, the South China Sea Crocodile God would definitely not be able to succeed in a few breaths.

“…… I don't know what Liu Bei said to the South China Sea Crocodile God? Anyway, when they came out together, the South China Sea Crocodile God had already become Liu Bei's close guard chief. Not only that, but the South China Sea Crocodile God even volunteered to persuade Shixie to surrender, and in the end he really succeeded. ”

No way. Talking about it alone makes the South China Sea crocodile god wholeheartedly work? …… Liu Bei shouldn't be able to use skills such as the Charm Technique, right? Liu Yu, who was slightly surprised, asked: "So, with the surrender of the Shi family, Jiaozhou has really fallen into the hands of Liu Bei?" ”

"Not really." Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Shixie's fourth brother Shiwu. did not agree with the family's devotion to Liu Bei, led thousands of soldiers loyal to him into the mountains, and started a guerrilla war with Liu Bei. The current Liu Beijun was dragged in Jiaozhou by this small force of only a few thousand people. ”

Liu Yu thought that it was absolutely impossible for Liu Bei to stay in Jiaozhou because of thousands of chaotic troops. I'm afraid that he was afraid that the power of the Shi family would be too strong, so he used this as an excuse to stay in Jiaozhou to make some arrangements. After all, in the name of his benevolence and righteousness, he must not directly attack those who have taken refuge in him!

"Another force in the south that needs your attention, Lord Wang, is Sun Jian. Since Lu Bu and Wei Zhongdao joined his command, the combat effectiveness of their Jiangdong Army on land can be said to have risen by more than one notch. After retiring from Xuzhou. Sun Jian did not let the army return to the station, but handed over all the infantry to Lu Bu and Wei Zhongdao for training. Three months later, he hurriedly led the retrained infantry to attack Shanyue. ”

"Why did Sun Jian start attacking Shanyue again? Is he so unsightly? "The ethnic minorities under Sun Jian's jurisdiction are really having a hard time!

"Sun Jian's temperament is extremely strong. There is no room for forces in one's sphere of influence that do not obey one's orders. Moreover, a few years ago, he attacked Shanyue with great fanfare, but he returned in vain, which was naturally regarded by him as a shame in his life. This time, the prince led a large army to attack Yongzhou, which just relieved Sun Jian's pressure on the Dajiang defense line. Naturally, he would not let go of this rare opportunity. I want to take advantage of the prince's powerlessness to look south. Clear your own territory of hostile forces. ”

"And what was the result?"

"The Shanyue Xindu Division, the Dongyang Division, and the Linhai Division, these three major tribes were all annihilated, and the total casualties exceeded 30,000. The remaining captives and the remaining population of the clan, totaling more than 120,000 people, were all dispersed by Sun Jian's line to the counties of Jiangdong. The Shanyue Jian'an tribe and the Yanping tribe surrendered, and under their leadership, the Shanyue tribes were already nominally under Sun Jian's command. ”

"Is it just nominal?"

"Yes." Guo Jia nodded and explained, "Although the Shanyue clan lives in separate divisions, its total population is as high as two million. Just rely on Sun Jian's strength. There is more than deterrence, but not enough to eat. It can be nominally subjugated by Yamagoe. Collecting a little symbolic tribute every year is already enough for Sun Jian! ”

Liu Yu nodded and sighed: "With only three months of intensive training, the Jiangdong infantry can defeat the Shanyue soldiers who were 'born in Si and grew up in Si', this Lu Bu and Wei Zhongdao's training method is really clever!" ”

"Actually, the reason why Shanyue was defeated this time was not only because of the training of the Jiangdong infantry, but also because of the four people in the Jiangdong army!"

"Which four people?" Liu Yu was a little curious.

"In addition to Lu Bu and Wei Zhongdao, there are also Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce and his friend Zhou Yu."

"Sun Ce and Zhou Yu?" These two people have finally officially stepped onto the stage of history! The truth, take a look at the peerless style of "Little Overlord" and "Mei Zhoulang" with your own eyes!

Guo Jia saw that Liu Yu was slightly distracted, thinking that Liu Yu was puzzled by the two "young generals" who suddenly appeared, and immediately explained: "Sun Ce is Sun Jianzheng's wife, Mrs. Wu, and it is said that he dreamed of the sun in his arms during his pregnancy. This son has been brave and martial since he was a child, and he has been taught by the Master, and he is already one of the four sons at a young age. And Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's sworn brother, and his uncle Zhou Shang served as the chief inspector under Sun Jian. This person is talented and intelligent. and Sun Ce's literature and martial arts, which can be described as complementary! ”

"Are these two married?" Somehow, Liu Yu suddenly remembered the big Qiao he met by the small lake in Xuzhou.

"Nope." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "However, I heard that these two people are pursuing the Jiangdong Qiao family sisters who are ranked sixth and seventh on the 'Stunning List', that is, 'Famous Lady' Qiao Ling and 'Lingbo Dragon Girl' Qiao Long. ”

I wonder if Big and Little Joe will be divided into Sun Zhou Erren like in history? Thinking of Da Qiao's charm, Liu Yu is really a little jealous!

At this time, Guo Jia suddenly said with a smile: "Lord Wang, do you know that Lu Weisun has a very loud name in Jiangdong now!" ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"Koto Sijun."

"Koto Sijun?"

"Yes. All four of them are absolutely beautiful men. Lu Bu Sun Ce is handsome and brave, and Wei Zhongdao and Zhou Yu are elegant and graceful. Now the big girls and little daughters-in-law in Jiangdong are fascinated by them! Guo Jia said with jealousy.

Lu Bu and Wei Zhongdao can be called one of the very few beautiful men that Liu Yu has seen in this world who can be compared to himself, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can be said to be on a par with them, and I believe that they should have their own unique charm...... Shake your head. Putting aside this boring thought, Liu Yu returned to the topic: "Are there only these three forces left in the south?" "He remembers, there seems to be a Yuan Shu?

"Between Jingnan and Jiangdong, there is also Yuan Shu, who still occupies the three counties of Yuzhang, Jiujiang, and Poyang. However, this is also because Liu Bei and Sun Jian were busy settling the territory, so they didn't do anything to him. Once the two places are stabilized, the land of fish and rice occupied by Yuan Shu will definitely not be able to be preserved! ”

This Yuan Shu is also a fortune teller, his brother's big power has been destroyed, and he is still alive and well! Sigh. Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down and do what I explained, and do it as soon as possible." Let's go back to Luoyang early. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, Weichen retires!"

###############################################################

The class teacher triumphed in Luoyang, and the emperor and the queen mother went out of the city to greet ten miles. The end is extremely graceful.

Up to now. Although nominally the imperial court and the four princes in the south divided the north and south equally and divided the rivers to rule, everyone knew that at least two-thirds of the strength of the Han Dynasty was already in the hands of the "orthodox" royal family. After all, although the territory of the north and the south is similar, the population and development status are not at the same level at all.

Now, everyone in the world knows that as long as there is no accident, the Luoyang Imperial Court's unification of the Han Dynasty will be unstoppable!

Manchu Dynasty civil and military. Whether it is a gentleman who is dedicated to the country and the people, or a villain who is full of glory and wealth. I was happy from the bottom of my heart. Because of the unification of the Northland, it indicates that their respective goals are a big step closer.

Just when the government and the opposition were rejoicing, the emperor suddenly issued an order, saying that he would return to the old capital, take Chang'an as the political center of the Han Dynasty, and revive the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Luoyang has been the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty for two hundred years, and it is not that it can be moved. The generals didn't express much of their opinion, but the ministers basically persuaded the emperor to dispel this idea. But the emperor seemed to have made up his mind, and he refuted the scholars with eloquent words and quotations. Only then did the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty realize that the emperor seemed to have been prepared. Thinking of this, the ministers were not able to oppose it directly, and they all looked at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu thought about it carefully, although Luoyang is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and is the center of Shenzhou, it is limited by geographical conditions, and now its development is already the limit. On the other hand, Chang'an, located on the 800-mile rich Qinchuan River, when Cao Cao was in power, built roads and built water conservancy, so that it had an excellent foundation and potential. Once the Silk Road is opened, Chang'an's status and development will surely surpass Luoyang. In terms of long-term interests, moving the capital to Chang'an is a wiser choice. It's a big deal to make one of them a political center and the other an economic center!

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but nodded. After seeing that Liu Yu also agreed, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty calmed down and no longer objected. However, the emperor's next sentence made the hall explode.

"King Zhou's achievements are high, and if he doesn't appreciate it, his heart will be difficult to settle down, and the people's hearts will be difficult to peace. Therefore, I decided that after the capital was moved, I would reward Luoyang to the king of Zhou as a fief. All matters in Luoyang, the king of Zhou can decide on his own......"

"Your Majesty, no!" Zhongshu ordered Guan Ning to admonish: "Even if the emperor moves the capital to Chang'an, Luoyang should also be used as a companion capital, how can it be rewarded?" ”

When the great Confucian, Zheng Xuan, the servant, also said: "The emperor's move is a big violation of the law of etiquette. Once implemented, not only will the prince be scolded, but even the emperor will be criticized. I hope the emperor will think twice before acting! ”

"Your Majesty, although the prince swept the north and worked hard, it is still not suitable to be named Luoyang. The emperor wants to reward, and he can reward Chen Liu, Yecheng and other rich cities......" Liu Yu's father-in-law, secretary and supervisor Cai Yong also put forward his opinion.

Next, the left servant of Shangshu Province, Xun Yu, the imperial historian Zheng Tai, the official department Shangshu Xun You, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Kong Rong all euphemistically expressed that they did not agree with the emperor's practice of giving Luoyang to Liu Yu.

"Alright, let's stop it!" The emperor waved his hand and said with a firm expression: "I have made up my mind, you Aiqing don't need to say it anymore." The merits of King Zhou cannot be unrewarded; The work of King Zhou. Non-Luoyang can't be rewarded! ”

When the ministers saw the emperor's resoluteness, they did not persuade him again. After all, no matter how you say it, they are also Liu Yu's henchmen. If you can persuade with words, you have already done your duty as a courtier. Of course, he will not scold Liu Yu, and it is impossible to do that kind of behavior of admonishing him with death.

As for the military generals series, they are basically from Liu Yu's command, and he fought with Liu Yu in the south and the north, and his loyalty to Liu Yu is even higher than that of the emperor. They wish the emperor could give up the throne to Liu Yu, let alone the "small" fiefdom of Luoyang!

Of course. The emperor's words really surprised Liu Yu, although Liu Yu also thought about blackmailing his cheap son this time. But he just hopes to get his hands on Xuchang, which is rich in tobacco leaves, and Liu Yu really hasn't thought about Luoyang!

Liu Yu couldn't help but look at the emperor with some reproach, but found that under his calm and smiling look. There was a trace of grief and tears. What's going on? Don't......

Standing on top of this court, it can be said that they are all human spirits. It is already instinctive to observe words and feelings, and the "eyebrow flirtation" between Liu Yu and the emperor naturally cannot be concealed from them. I don't know what they think, but they all showed strange expressions to Liu Yu thoughtfully.

Although Liu Yu was puzzled, he didn't have time to pay attention to them. made a hint to the emperor to let him retire from the court, and wanted to ask him again in private. After the emperor ordered the retreat from the dynasty and got up to leave, Liu Yu was about to follow up, but was surrounded by several confidants. These people still looked at Liu Yu with that look that made Liu Yu puzzled. But they didn't speak. Liu Yu couldn't help but be a little anxious and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

These important officials of the court looked at each other. In the end, it was Cai Yong who spoke as Liu Yu's father-in-law: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this......"

"What's wrong?" Liu Yu was slightly puzzled. He often enters the inner palace, why did they have no opinions before, but now they suddenly say "inappropriate"?

Cai Yong paused slightly, as if he was organizing language, and then said: "Lord Wang, although you are now in power, but after all, this world is still the world of the Han Dynasty, and if you do this, you will inevitably ruin your reputation and be regarded as a thief by the world......"

That doesn't seem right! If you enter the inner palace, you will be regarded as a thief? Don't it's not the same thing they told me, right? Waving his hand, Liu Yu grabbed the words and said, "Wait, tell me first, what have I done to bring disaster to the country and the people?" will be regarded as a thief by the world? ”

"Lord Wang, how can you force the emperor to move the capital and ask him to reward you with this Luoyang?" Cai Yong's thumping of his chest really hated the taste of iron and steel.

Liu Yuda shouted unjustly: "Who told you that I was persecuting the emperor?" ”

"Lord Wang, don't quibble anymore!" Although Zheng Xuan is very close to Liu Yu, he is also a great Confucian in the world, and he has the style of a literati, so he said with a slight anger at the moment: "We have already seen it." ”

"You see?" Liu Yu asked confusedly, "What do you see?" ”

"Is the prince now daring to do it?" Zheng Xuan seemed to be a little dismissive of Liu Yu.

"Hey, you guys made it clear to me!" Liu Yu became slightly impatient.

Guan Ning sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, when you threatened the emperor with your eyes on the court just now, Wei Chen and the others were already in their eyes!" ”

Did they see the blame in my eyes as a threat? Injustice! Liu Yu spread his hands helplessly: "Why do you think I'm threatening the emperor?" ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly bitterly: "If it wasn't a threat, then how could the prince explain the emperor's sad and helpless expression at that time?" It's not going to be so many of us looking away, right? ”

Dizzy! It's really hard to explain! But you can't let it go, after all, these are all henchmen who help Liu Yu deal with government affairs. If they pick a pick, Liu Yuke will be tired! Shaking his head, Liu Yu said with a straight face: "Whether you believe it or not, I have to tell you that I didn't know in advance that the emperor wanted to seal Luoyang to me." Now I'm going to go into the palace and ask for clarification, and you won't get in my way anymore! ”

Kong Rong's eyes lit up, and he asked happily, "Lord Wang, is what you said true?" ”

"Nonsense, do I have to lie to you?"

Shang Shu Ling Youheng was the most loyal to Liu Yu among these scholars, and he never expressed any objection from the beginning to the end. And after hearing Liu Yu's words, he spoke up: "Such a major matter related to the prince himself, the emperor actually didn't discuss it with the prince beforehand?" What does he mean by that? (To be continued.) )
