Chapter 477: Lian Cao Resists Yuan (First Update)
In the next month or so, Dayan's main work is to thoroughly implement the nine-rank court ritual system, this system seems simple, in fact, it is very difficult to subdivide it, many official positions were originally equal, but under the nine products, there is a big difference, such as six products and seven products, although it is a difference between one product, but there is indeed a difference between the top and bottom, so the following movement is not small, the debate is one after another, and some people even suggested that Yuan Xi suspend this system.
However, the opposition of a few people, how can they stop Yuan Xi, a piece of royal order to go down, the governors of various places instantly increased their efforts, and the inspectors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were dispatched immediately, unwilling, those who disobeyed, get out immediately, Dayan did not worry about not being an official, so tough, so that the officials everywhere were instantly much more honest, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate became the most feared department of Dayan officials in a very short period of time, and if he was not careful, he was invited to drink tea by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate has a general overview of Dayan's discipline, directly responsible to Yuan Xi, and has the right to supervise all officials below the three-grade governor, once there is corruption, misfortune, and personal gain, after passing through the Inspectorate Branch, and assisting the governors of various places, they can all be temporarily suppressed pending trial, and if the governor does not agree, it can be played on the Wangcheng Inspectorate General Court, after Yuan Xi ordered, there is the right to ignore the governor and handle it immediately, this is a knife on the head of all officials, of course, this process cannot be changed at will, that is, it is necessary to talk to the governors of various places first, The majesty of the governor cannot be ignored.
In addition to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Tolerance, also began to be in full swing, the Ministry of Tolerance is responsible for the people's livelihood, Dali Temple is responsible for the trial of cases, so that the main task of the counties, counties, and government officials is to govern the people's livelihood and prosper the economy, which greatly reduces their rights, and also enhances the centralization of the central power, ensuring the supremacy of the royal family, although many officials are very dissatisfied, but there is no way, they do not have the slightest military power, they can not set off any wind and waves, they can only honestly comply.
And at this time when Dayan was reformed, the envoy of Cao Cao in the Central Plains had secretly arrived in Jiangdong.
Jiangdong, Shanyin County, in the main hall of Wuhou Mansion, I saw Sun Quan sitting on the main seat, the civil and military divisions, the text was headed by Zhang Zhao, and the military was respected by Zhou Yu.
Dressed in a gorgeous costume, dignified appearance, and extraordinary temperament, Liu Ye, the backbone strategist of Cao Cao, who once offered a thunderbolt, stood calmly in the hall with a positive face.
"Cao Sikong, it seems that he was scared by Yuan Xi" I saw Zhou Yu, who was on the left, with a graceful posture and beautiful appearance, and his eyes were like stars, suddenly opened his mouth and mocked.
Liu Ye smiled faintly and said: "Yuan Xi is indeed powerful, Sikong never shy away from it, if not, how would he come to the alliance Jiangdong, in addition, Zhou Dudu, Sikong Alliance Jiangdong, not because you are strong, nor because you Zhou Dudu can fight well, but because of Jiangdong's naval army, as well as Wu Hou's ambition, this is Liu Biao can never be compared, otherwise you Jiangdong is not qualified to be in alliance with Sikong"
"Bastard"
"Too arrogant"
Hearing this, the generals roared instantly, Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay" Sun Quan on the main throne suddenly waved his hand lightly, and after calming down, he looked at Liu Ye and said: "Sikong's sincerity, Ben Hou fully understands, not to mention Yuan Xi, even Liu Biao is also Ben Hou's father killer, but this capture of Jingzhou is not a simple matter, Ben Hou should carefully consider the following, Liu Zhushu will go down to rest first, and give you an answer in three days, how about it?" ”
"Then thank you Wu Hou" Liu Ye didn't say much, turned around and left.
After seeing Liu Ye leave, Sun Quan immediately looked at Zhou Yu and said respectfully: "Brother Gongjin, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"Lord, although Yu doesn't want to admit it, but Dayan's current strength is indeed too terrifying, even the grassland has been wiped out, my Jiangdong is relying on the Yangtze River, and I am not afraid, but if you really want to fight Dayan head-on, it will definitely lose" Zhou Yu suddenly said with a serious face.
"What do you mean by Lian Cao against Yuan," Sun Quan said solemnly,
"Yes, but this alliance must be dominated by my Jiangdong, and my Jiangdong's national policy is to seize Jingzhou, enter Bashu in the west, and occupy half of the country, only in this way can my Jiangdong resist Yuan Xi and have the opportunity to seize the world" Zhou Yu nodded.
"Then why did Gong Jin insult Liu Ye just now," Zhang Zhao on the left suddenly said with some dissatisfaction.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said: "I insulted him just now, I wanted to see how Cao Cao's strength is now, if Liu Ye doesn't show that pride, it shows that Cao Cao's strength is already very weak, but Liu Ye's situation shows that Cao Cao still has confidence, so if the alliance continues, it will be possible to stop Yuan Xi."
"But there are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, and it is impossible to eat them overnight, and once the war breaks out, Yuan Xi must know that he will definitely send troops to stop it" I saw a man with a calm face and a slightly thin face stood up and said worriedly.
"Zijing is right, so I have to admire Cao Sikong here, he is in the cauldron and sinking the boat, with the Central Plains and Xiliang slowing Yuan Xi, and Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and Bashu as the back road, even if he loses ten times, as long as he can defeat Yuan Xi once, everything can be recaptured" Zhou Yu smiled and appreciated.
"Governor Zhou, that Cao Cao is a wolf, you also said that he takes Jiangdong as the back road, then you are not afraid that he will take my Jiangdong land" Zhang Zhao said solemnly.
"What does he take, as long as the navy is in hand, Jiangdong is as stable as Mount Tai, and Cao Cao really values my Jiangdong navy, so he will come to the alliance" Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"Brother Gongjin, if the two parties unite, can they defeat Yuan Xi?" Sun Quan suddenly asked eagerly, Yuan Xi is not just putting pressure on Cao Cao, all the princes in the world are under pressure.
"Lord, as long as Jingzhou is in hand, Sun Cao unites together, and definitely has the capital to block Yuan Xi, but the most critical thing in this plan is Jingzhou, Jingzhou is not only a strong naval army, but also 110,000 infantry, even if it is attacked from both sides, it will take a lot of time, and during this time, Yuan Xi will not know, if he knows, he will definitely send troops to the Central Plains, whether Cao Cao can resist or not, if Jingzhou is undecided, and the Central Plains is lost, it will be dangerous" Zhou Yu said solemnly.
"Then the only way to do this is to establish the firmest alliance to support Cao Cao from the north of Xuzhou and block Yuan Xi's most elite Second Army" Hearing this, Lu Su said in a loud voice.
"Then, is my Jiangdong too much loss?" I saw Huang Gai, who had a thick beard, suddenly wondered.
"The loss is a lot, but I Jiangdong did get the foundation of the royal industry," Lu Su said solemnly.
"Zijing, you make it clear" Sun Quan immediately looked at Lu Su excitedly.
"Lord, we can sign an alliance with Cao Cao, our army is not only willing to attack Jingzhou in an alliance, but also willing to go north to support and ensure his Central Plains, but once the war is won, Jingzhou will be handed over to me Jiangdong land, as long as Jingzhou is obtained, the king will be successful" Lu Su said in a loud voice.
"Will Cao Cao be willing?" Sun Quan immediately frowned.
"He will, he will, because Cao Cao needs to win Yuan Xi too much, what he wants is the momentum of victory, and what I Jiangdong wants is turf, each takes what he needs" Lu Su said confidently.
Zhou Yu, who had not spoken, nodded, glanced at Lu Su appreciatively, and said: "Lord, what Zijing said is extremely true, but this plan must not be rushed, it must be planned slowly, it must be well-planned, if you don't fight, you must take Jingzhou in one fell swoop."
Sun Quan's eyes froze, and after being silent for a while, he immediately stood up and said, "Brother Gongjin, this alliance will be handed over to you to deal with, and all the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong are still controlled by you."
"No!" Zhou Yu immediately clenched his fists in response.
