On the ninth day of the first month of May, Liu Bei held an enthronement ceremony in the eastern suburbs of Jiangling.

Dr. Xu Ci, Hu Qian, Yu Tuo, and Meng Guang of the Counselor Lang palmed the ceremony, built an altar in the eastern suburbs of Jiangling, and more than 30,000 officials and scholars watched the ceremony.

Xu Ci, Hu Qian, Meng Guang, and Lai Min were all proficient in etiquette, and Lai Min served as the family order of the crown prince Liu Chan, so he did not participate in this grand event.

The enthronement ceremony is basically the same as the ceremonies of the emperors of the Han Dynasty, unlike Cao Pi's Zen position, where the northern scholars, etiquette scholars, and yin-yang scholars quarrel and quarrel without a conclusion, and it has become a joke for a while.

What is the real Zen ceremonies, what colors and flags should be used, what music should be used, the orientation and spacing of each train, and so on...... There is no way to be exquisite, and each family has its own opinion. After the usurpation of Cao Pi was completed, the families were still discussing the mistakes in the Zen rites.

Officials who mastered the etiquette of the Han emperor's enthronement still existed, so Liu Bei's enthronement ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner.

There are also some differences in the etiquette, such as two more Tai Chi flags, one congenital Tai Chi Bagua and one acquired Tai Chi Bagua, which are regarded as real immortals and humanistic auspicious by the ministers.

On the high platform, Huang Quan recited aloud the table of sacrifice to the sky: "But in the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, in May Jiashenshuo, the emperor prepared, dared to announce to the emperor and the queen of heaven: the Han has the world, and the history is boundless." Wang Mang usurped the thief, Emperor Guangwu was angry and punished, and Sheji was restored. Now Cao Cao is cruel to stop the army, and after killing the master, the crime is heinous; Zipi, carry the ferocious rebellion, steal the artifact. The group of soldiers thought that the Han Dynasty was degenerate, and it was advisable to extend it, and the two ancestors of the heirs of Wu bowed to the heavenly punishment. ”

……

After reading the table, Liu Bei took the stage to take the jade seal, and said again and again: "If you have no talent, please choose someone who is talented and virtuous." ”

Guan Yu, the foreman, said in the prelude: "The king has pacified the four seas, and his merits are known in the world. I have sacrificed to the gods, what can I do? ”

The ministers and officials all shouted long live, and the ceremony was over.

The next day, the first court meeting was held in Gangneung Fortress to officially seal the vassals.

First, he made the queen Wu the queen.

The crown prince Liu Yong was the king of Lu, the prince Liu Li was the king of Liang, and the heir of the emperor Liu Feng was the marquis of Luo; The lord of Cefeng Lexiang is 3,000 households of Princess Zhaoyang's food estate, and the lord of Wen'an Weng is 3,000 households of Princess Gaoyang's food estate.

With Zhuge Liang as the prime minister, he opened the government to govern affairs, recorded Shangshutai affairs, sealed 3,000 households of Wuxiang Hou Shiyi, and the governor of Yizhou military and civil affairs.

With Guan Yu as the general, he opened the government to govern the affairs, recorded the Shangshutai affairs, increased the food of the Marquis of Han Shou to 6,000 households, and the governor of Jingzhou military.

Bai Zhang Fei was the commander of the general of the chariot cavalry, the captain of the school, the county guard of Brazil, the marquis of the western township, the food of 5,000 households, and the supervision of the right army.

Bai Ma Chao was a hussar general, sealed the Marquis of Tai, ate 3,000 households, and supervised the left army.

Worship Xu Jing as the Taifu, worship Mi Zhu as Situ Feng Liangcheng Marquis 2,000 households, worship Pang Xi as Sikong.

Worship Zhao Yun as the general of Wei, seal Yongchang Pavilion Marquis 500 households, except for the post of the middle guard, succeeded by Chen Zhi.

Worship is too often; Huang Quan, the left protector of the army, is Guangluxun and leads the left guard; After the conquest, the auxiliary Kuang of the guard army was the guard captain, and was succeeded by Li Yan, the deputy general of the rear army.

The rest of the Taifu, Tingwei, Da Honglu, Zongzheng, Da Si Nong, and Shaofu are six secretaries, and only worship Liu Bao, Marquis of Yangquan, as Zongzheng, and the remaining five secretaries are vacant.

In addition, Tian Xin, Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, Ma Liang, Liao Li, and Li Yan added official ranks.

In the end, Shangyong County was changed to Hanxing County.

Zhang Fei's right army was not mobilized to participate in the war, nor was it expanded, so there was no right protector army and right army.

Among the four major protectors, it is normal for Huang Quan to worship the position of Guanglu Xunqing, and Huang Quan was transferred to the protector as Guanglu Xun when he was in the Hanzhong Kingdom, and now it is only established again.

Guangluxun's moderation of the San Lang Administration, Lang official release has always been the main way to go out, which will provide Huang Quan with a large number of legitimate and reasonable officials.

Zhao Yun of the Central Protector Army worshiped General Wei and was in charge of Chengdu's urban defense and garrison work; The guard lieutenant held by the rear guard assistant Kuang is really vacant, and there are many honors.

Now Ji Han is still a military-first group, and among the honorary positions of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, there is a Guanglu Xun that is meaningful.

Former protector Pan Jun does not do promotion, nor does he dispose of it.

There is a shortage of people to fill the position of the third duke, and Liu Bei would rather lift up the suppressed and diluted Dongzhou bigwig Pang Xi to use it than perfunctory.

The territory is different, the international situation is different, so the important generals are all actually taught, but the five armed forces system has not been impacted.

Liu Bei claimed that the emperor was a great vassal, and the war on the front line had fallen into a stalemate.

As Cao Xiu led the Runan troops northward, the Wei army in the Yexian area was at least 50,000.

In addition to Lei Xu staying in Xinye, Sun Lang and Shen Tan gathered troops to move closer to Duyang with Meng Da's department.

On the 12th, Yongdao was built for 65 miles, and it was only 15 miles away from Ye County.

Tian Xin was stationed here, and the 8,000 troops had been transferred to Xinye to assist in the summer harvest, and there were reinforcements to join, but the construction of the Yongdao was still about five miles a day, and there were two days of rainy weather during the period that delayed the construction period.

Pang Lin came back from Yexian: "The Wei army's sentry cavalry has continued to cross the water to intrude and spy on our army in recent days, although there are many injuries, but the enemy cavalry is more dense. The hussar general thought that the strength of the Wei army might be between seventy and eighty thousand, and our army needed to be more cautious. If the flaws are exposed, the Wei army will attack from the north and south at the same time. ”

Yexian is a salient part, and it is still in the north of the Chi Road in Jingyu Erzhou, and there is a lack of timber to leave the Chi Road, and it will take at least five days for Tian Xin to build the Yong Road to reach the receiving position.

And now, not only Ma Chao is stepping up the harvesting of wheat near Yexian, but all lines of the Wei army are also harvesting wheat, and the entire Central Plains is harvesting wheat.

After the wheat is harvested, it can be continuously transported to the Xiahou Shang military camp through the Central Plains water system.

The food problem that plagued the Wei army and limited the scale of the Wei army's mobilization was temporarily alleviated; By the time of next year's summer and autumn harvests, Wei will return to the level of Jian'an 23 years ago.

Just one summer harvest gave the Wei army a chance to assemble a large army to counterattack, and the army participating in the counterattack may be 50,000, or 780,000, and if the forbidden army of Xu Du is also involved, the scale can exceed 100,000.

It was only less than 200 miles from Yexian to Xudu, and there were mature Cao canals to assist in transportation, and Xudu's army could be put into the Yexian area at any time to participate in the war.

Follow the example of the Battle of Kunyang and fight a battle of Ye?

Yexian Juntun harvested wheat at least 100,000 stones, Ma Chao was reluctant to this batch of grain, and Tian Xin was also reluctant.

After Nanyang County merged with Nanxiang County, although there were more than 30 counties, many county towns and townships had long been dilapidated and decayed, with fertile land and low grain production.

Even in order to survive, the towns that have the ability to expand the scale of cultivation will give up so as not to cause trouble.

Only by restoring order and giving the people a sense of security will the people actively expand the area of cantonment.

Now Ma Chao has another choice, after burning the grain, he will retreat with the army, and he will be able to meet Tian Xin in the blink of an eye on the fifteen-mile road.

Wei Jun was busy harvesting wheat, and he couldn't chase it if he wanted to.

If the two armies complete the wheat harvest, the Han army will choose two, one is to rely on the harvested wheat to defend Ye County and continue to consume with the Wei army; The other is to divide the army to transport food, and the rest of the army to guard the defense line, and finally withdraw to Duyang together.

Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and the Wei army was eager to fight a victory; We have similar thoughts.

The first driving force of the war is no longer the wheat in Yexian, but something deeper and more complicated.

It was so complicated that the Han army could not take the initiative to retreat, and the Wei army had to pursue.

Seeing Pang Lin's hesitant appearance, Tian Xin asked: "Does the hussar general want to defend Ye County to the death, or do he want to divide his troops and transport grain and force the Wei army to cross the river to fight a decisive battle with me?" ”

Pang Lin really didn't have an idea, and asked rhetorically: "What is Xiaoxian's idea?" ”

"I naturally want to fight with it, and I heard that Xiahou Shang and Cao Pi have a close relationship. If I can capture this person, I can redeem the wife and daughter of Brother Shiheng. ”

When Pang Lin heard this, his eyes gradually became firm, and his right hand clenched his fist and stretched: "Then according to the will of the hussar general, force the Wei army to cross the river and participate in the battle." ”
