With the departure of Xun Yu and others, the news spread like wings all over the country and all over China in an instant.

There was a great deal of enthusiasm from the people.

The momentum of the Hussar Sixth Army sweeping the world seems to be unstoppable, so Wang Yu took it out in person and explained it in person, and there is a chance that it will become a national policy in the future.

The national policy, also known as the foundation of the country, is naturally not easily shaken. Generally speaking, even if there is a change of dynasty, it is mostly a matter of Xiao Gui Cao, and some shortcomings will be corrected in a targeted manner, and no fundamental changes will be made.

The first person to eat crabs in history was Emperor Yingzheng of Qin, who did not continue the feudal system since the Shang and Zhou dynasties after the Qin State swept away the six eastern kingdoms, but established a unified empire.

Many people believe that it was precisely because of this change that people were overwhelmed that the huge Qin Empire was short-lived, and it came to an end after only two generations of emperors. The subsequent Han Empire learned this lesson and did not innovate much when it rebuilt a new empire from the ruins, resulting in a 400-year national fortune.

Now it is going to change again, is it progress or a regression of history?

Such doubts hover in the minds of many people, but the focus of more people is not these. Originally, only those who were more idle scholars had time to study such things as historical significance, and it was those things that could attract the public's attention that were closely related to their own interests.

Shilin had the greatest repercussions, with a higher proportion of children of the clan being educated and a deeper understanding of policies. In the era when Confucianism was not yet praised as a god, intellectuals were not limited in their thinking, and they all had their own unique views and understandings of the same things.

Legalists rejoice in this.

Even if they haven't seen the true face of those two decrees, just looking at the appearance, they can feel the positive meaning from Wang Yu's actions.

Isn't it? When most of the world was decided, the hussar general did not rush to build momentum for his own family and ascend to the altar or anything, but first planned to legislate. And it is not done behind closed doors, but in a very modest and inclusive manner, collecting opinions extensively. This is simply the spring of the Legalists!

After carefully studying the content of the decree, after carefully studying the content of the decree, all of them burst into tears and were moved to the point of being unable to help themselves.

Weaken the imperial power, weaken the power of the wealthy families, and replace it with the law to restrain and maintain the functioning of the country. This can no longer be described as spring. It's all about skipping the winter. It's the height of summer.

At that time, the Qin State claimed to use Legalist doctrine, but people who really studied that period of history would definitely not agree with this. The law of the Qin State was only to centralize power more conveniently and quickly, and to completely concentrate the resources of the whole country in the hands of the emperor. He is left to the outside world to seek out the outside world, or to squander it for pleasure.

This is how the vast, seemingly invincible, mighty empire collapsed in just a few decades, with a twisted Legalist doctrine in which harsh laws brought not security but a suffocating sense of oppression.

Now, a new dynasty is about to be established, and the atmosphere is completely new, and it is the time for the Legalist disciples to show their talents!

There is not much wait-and-see and hesitation. The disciples of the Legalist family went to Luoyang one after another, preparing to meet Wang Yu and show their ambitions.

Even Wang Yu didn't expect that there were still so many relatively pure Legalist believers in the world, in just three months. More than 500 scholars gathered and came to meet them.

Among them are the Shu Han name and filial piety that he has been looking for, but because he forgot the other party's origin, and Li Yan and Man Chong, who were found before but failed to move.

But when you think about it, it's not surprising. The principle of Legalism was not very strong, the founder Xun Kuang was regarded as a Confucian sage in later generations, and his disciples Han Fei and Li Si were also the kind of people who didn't care about the difference between portals and only cared about practical interests.

Therefore, even after the two cultural catastrophes of Emperor Qin's book burning and Emperor Wu's respect for Confucianism, Legalism was not dealt with, but only revised its purpose again, from cool law to Confucian jurisprudence.

With the addition of such a large number of talents, the legislative work can naturally be greatly accelerated, but Wang Yu is not in a hurry, he still has to wait for the news to continue to ferment to see if it can cause further reactions.

The system he was going to establish was similar to the feudal system of Europe in the thirteenth and fourth centuries, and he thought it was the most suitable system for expansion, and the one with the lowest requirements.

Historically, it was under the impetus and maintenance of such a system that the Europeans completed the largest expansion in the history of human civilization, covering almost every corner of the world except for the north and south poles.

However, he is not a historian and does not dare to guarantee that his ideas will be correct, so he is more just to provide an idea, establish the corresponding principles, and then brainstorm to build a system that is relatively suitable for the current situation and also echoes his expectations.

Therefore, there is no need to rush to conclusions.

After the Legalists, the Mohists and Taoists also arrived one after another.

In the campaign led by Dong Zhongshu to depose the Hundred Schools, the key targets were the Mohists and Taoists, as well as the merchants. Xu Rong and Ma Jun inherited only one of them, and more of the Mo family children were lost to the people, some disappeared, and some were passed down from generation to generation, which is unknown.

This time Wang Yu openly declared the world, the effect is quite good, in the alleys, next to the well, you can hear the relevant discussions, these people who are hidden in the mountains and forests and the people have also got the news, after careful thinking, after all, they still can't resist the temptation to restore the sect, and they have come out of the mountains.

This is just the beginning.

This autumn, or rather this year, is destined to become an important marker in history.

This is the starting point of the revival of Chinese culture, in Wang Yu's previous life, those schools that were annihilated in history have come out of unknown places, many schools, not to mention Wang Yu, even the knowledgeable Cai Yong and Tian Feng can't say why.

Wang Yu could already imagine what people would say about this period of history after the empire lasted for hundreds of years. What Europeans say about the Renaissance, then the Han people will have a similar comment on this period of history.

The cultural revival must have been followed by rapid progress in science and technology. What Wang Yu has done in Qingzhou in recent years can only be said to be a first stop, and in the next few decades, the improvement of the Han Empire in this field is difficult to accurately describe with the word leap.

With these two advances, the next one will follow. Of course, it is an unprecedented expansion in China. On the map that Wang Yu carried in his arms, a super empire had taken shape, and the next thing was nothing more than to realize it.

Compared with this, reunification can only be regarded as a very inconspicuous trivial matter, not to mention, this year is not the year of the real reunification of the Central Plains.

Since Wang Yu entered Qingzhou, it can be said that there have been battles in the past few years. No matter how rich Qingzhou is, no matter how well prepared the general's mansion is, it can't withstand the huge war attrition.

Furthermore. After the victory in the Great War. Qingzhou's territory has more than doubled. To settle such a large territory, the manpower and resources required are also considerable.

Therefore, in the past few months, the Qingzhou army on all fronts has focused on control, and has no intention of launching major wars one after another. Although the war is not over. All sides are fighting hard or licking their wounds, but the war is indeed over.

Regarding Wang Yu's invitation, Cao Cao was still hesitant and did not make a final decision.

In his heart, he would rather be a prince, but unfortunately, Wang Yu was unwilling to give him this opportunity, and would rather hand over the position of prime minister to him than let him out of his sight.

Wang Yu is confident. Cao Cao still had to give in in in the end, his capital was limited, and he didn't have much room to move.

And as time goes by, Cao Cao's capital will only become less and less, not the other way around.

Without the support of Kuai and Cai. Cao Cao was simply unable to replenish his army in Jingzhou. It's not difficult to catch strong men, but where does the equipment, food and grass come from? If Yu Ban attacked Xiangyang in the rainy season, he might still have a chance to use a big victory to boost his momentum and let more families show substantial support, but now, he can only stare dryly.

The loss of talent is even more deadly. It's just that in less than half a year, dozens of celebrities under Cao Cao, such as Man Chong, Du Ji, and Dong Zhao, abandoned their officials and left, including even important ministers like Cheng Yu and Zhong Xuan!

Some of these people went to Luoyang, and some went home directly. Anyway, the situation is like this, even Cao Cao, the lord, is thinking about surrendering, who has any need to hold out to the end?

In the end, he stayed by Cao Cao's side, and only Guo Jia and Xun Yu were left among the staff outside his relatives.

Compared with the disintegrated Cao Ying, Jiangdong and Yizhou are full of fighting spirit.

Jiangdong is mainly because of Sun Ce's presence, this Jiangdong little overlord is not easy to give up, and in the past six months, he has been preparing for another battle.

He himself sat in Moling City, training soldiers and horses, and patrolling the defense at the same time to ensure the safety of the territory along the river.

On the other hand, he sent Zhou Yu to negotiate with the Shanyue tribes, coerced and lured a Shanyue army to come out, plus the recruits in Jiangxia, Jingnan, and Huainan, the Jiangdong army's losses in the previous war were almost made up, and it regained the strength of the first war.

After Wang Yu learned about the situation in Jiangdong, he was also very emotional. A rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry, let alone a fierce person like Sun Ce?

In order to avoid excessive advance and lead to the expansion of the war, Wang Yu temporarily canceled the navy's attack on Jiangdong, but ordered Zhang Liao, who was stationed in Hefei, to take strict precautions, and transferred back Zhang Jaw to command the iron cavalry, preparing to wait until the Jingzhou problem was solved, and attack from three directions at the same time. If necessary, he doesn't mind going to go on another expedition and hunt in Jiangdong with Sun Ce.

However, there was no chance that his plan would be implemented.

On the first day of December, Wang Yu received an urgent military information sent by Pang Tong, and got a thing that greatly surprised him, but he had known it for a long time......

Sun Ce is dead!

Death by assassination!

According to the official news from Jiangdong, Sun Ce was assassinated by three of Xu Gong's disciples. However, Pang Tong mentioned another possibility in the letter.

Although no conclusive evidence has been obtained, Pang Tong combined the internal situation in Jiangdong and added some clues, speculating that Sun Ce was likely to die at the hands of his own people.

This conclusion made Wang Yudu feel very surprised, so he wrote back to Pang Tong as soon as possible, asking the latter to investigate the matter thoroughly.
