At the same time, in another mansion in Chang'an City.

Cao Cao also met with a group of wives and concubines and children, and he was embarrassed.

Since the battle of Guandu Xuchang was attacked, Cao Cao and his wife and concubines and children have been separated for eight years, and there has been no day to see each other in this life, but I don't want to meet in Chang'an, although I am quite gratified, but more is lonely.

Family continuity is important, but Cao Cao is an aspirant.

Now everything has come to naught, and the hegemony has become empty, leaving behind countless blood and bones.

Along the way, the prosperity of Guanzhong opened Cao Cao's eyes.

As for the people's aspirations, Cao Cao has a more personal experience.

Since Luo's conquest of Chang'an, there has never been a war in Guanzhong. Although the world is constantly in turmoil, but Guanzhong has never been invaded by military disasters and wars, for more than ten years, the people of Guanzhong have long been accustomed to a stable and prosperous life.

If anyone forgets to undermine this stability, he will inevitably stand in opposition to all the people in Guanzhong.

As the old saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people are the world.

This is not an empty word, but a truth summed up by the sages.

In all dynasties, the great chaos in the world inevitably began with the peasant uprising. As long as the common people don't cook, no matter how strong the strength of the Shi clan is, it can't shake the foundation of the dynasty, and no matter how big the ambition is, it can only be hidden in the heart.

Cao Cao is a caring person, so he sees more things.

With more than ten years of recuperation and gathering, the wealth of the people of Guanzhong has far exceeded that of the early Han Dynasty, if it were not for the undecided world, the princes continued to fight, a large number of young and strong people were conscripted into the army, and died on the battlefield one after another, which had a great impact on the social development of Guanzhong. I'm afraid that in a few years, Guanzhong will truly achieve great governance. Reach unprecedented heights.

Cao Cao could only sigh that he was born at the wrong time.

There are opponents like Luo Zheng. It's really my biggest misfortune.

At night, the Qianwang Mansion.

Luo Zheng was preparing to rest early, and Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Fa Zheng, Zhuge Liang, Cheng Ying, Sima Yi and others jointly asked to see him.

"What's going on on this night?"

Luo Zheng put on his nightgown and yawned and asked, he was indeed a little sleepy.

From the spring of the previous year to the beginning of the spring to the south, Jingyang, for two years, the body and mind have long been exhausted.

Jia Xu glanced at him, and the law was right and said: "The lord proposed to use the three provinces and six ministries as the center a month ago. After deliberation at the lower levels, it is considered feasible, and a draft has been drafted, so please look at it and see if it can be implemented! ”

Luo Zheng said 'um', "Where is the draft?" ”

Next to him, Zhuge Liang hurriedly took out a booklet and offered it with both hands.

The booklet was made of paper, and papermaking was one of the few inventions that Luo Zheng brought to this era, and Luo Zheng proposed a general direction, and the craftsmen tried and tested it for several years. only to finally drum it up.

Although the quality of the paper is a little worse, it is better because the output is extremely high, and it is not a problem to use it for record-keeping.

Luo Zheng took the booklet and flipped through it. I read it very carefully, and when I encountered something I didn't understand, I casually asked a few words. Jia Xu and others answered them one by one, and watched it for more than an hour. I finished reading the draft.

"Let's put it first!"

Luo Zheng put the pamphlet on the table, noncommittal.

Jia Xu thought for a moment. understood Luo Zheng's thoughts, and looked at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu sighed, but didn't say anything, glanced at Zhuge Liang, there were some things he didn't want to say.

Zhuge Liang understood, and arched his hand: "Lord, it has been decided today, only the corners of Jiangdong and Jingnan have not been leveled, and they will only be trained by the navy in the coming year, and they can be leveled by reprimanding a partial division." However, the world has been in turmoil for more than 20 years, and the so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, and the Han Dynasty can no longer be continued. ”

Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Fa Zheng, Cheng Ying, and Sima Yi all seconded the proposal.

Indeed, the Han family has been subverted for a long time, and the world has been ownerless for too long.

The people do not have the concept of the country, and after a long time, it is inevitable that they will be like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, not knowing the emperor's grace and the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and in the long run, it will be very unfavorable to the unification of the world and social stability.

The military generals under his command also need the name of righteousness to justify their exploits.

If Luo Zheng does not ascend the throne for a day, the exploits of the subordinate martial arts can only be recorded in a thin book, and all of them cannot be fulfilled.

After all, Luo Zheng is only a king now, not an emperor, and many rewards are not right. Whether it is the will of the people or the demands of the generals under his command, the general trend will inevitably push Luo Zheng to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the end.

"This matter will be discussed later!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand and did not give a clear answer.

Everyone was helpless, and it was difficult to persuade again, so they had to pack up and retreat.

In the first month of 208 A.D., the ministers of the Western Qianqun held a meeting and asked Luo Zheng to ascend the throne as emperor, establish the imperial system, and command the world.

Luo Zheng did not allow it, and the ministers had to give up.

In March, after consulting with the ministers, Bailusu was appointed as the governor of the three armies and commanded the three armies of Eastern Wu.

In May, Liu Bei ascended to the throne of Chu and ordered someone to write a document on the crime of Liu Qi, the king of Chu who had been demoted to Nanxiang Duke by Luo Zheng, and spread all over the four counties of Jingnan, scolding Liu Qi as an unfilial son who lost his power and humiliated the country and ruined the foundation of his ancestors, and justified the name of the king of Chu.

In June, Liu Bei took Xu Shu and Pang Tong as the left and right military divisions, and Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong as the front and rear generals, responsible for training soldiers and horses.

In July, the Southern Barbarians rebelled, and 20,000 troops attacked the southern counties of Xichuan, and Yizhou was in an emergency.

Luo Zheng ordered the general Zhao Yun to lead 30,000 troops to the expedition, and Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi accompanied the army to serve as a staff officer.

In August, Zhao Yun's troops went to southern Sichuan, accepted Zhuge Liang's plan, and the defeat in ten battles lured the southern barbarian army into a deep valley to besiege.

Zhuge Liang built yì to explain the barbarian king, recruit Anzhi, so as not to plant hatred deeply, after all, southern Sichuan is too far, it is not easy for the army to conquer, and the hatred is getting deeper and deeper, but I am afraid that the south will be unstable; Sima Yi thinks that if it is not my race, its heart will be different, and it should be slaughtered and razed by its people.

Zhao Yun thought twice and adopted Sima Yi's proposal.

To be honest, Zhao Yun is not a person who loves to kill.

However, the lord Luo Zheng has always been too much for the foreign clan, that is, to kill everything, and Sima Yi's slaughter of his people and the construction of the Yi clan is simply copying the lord's barbarian strategy, so Zhao Yun thought twice and adopted Sima Yi's construction of the barbarians.

A fire was set and 20,000 barbarians were burned to ashes.

Zhao Yun immediately marched into the deep mountains and Daze to conquer the 36 caves of Nanban. The 30,000 troops are all temporary Sichuan soldiers, and they are no strangers to mountain warfare, otherwise if they are soldiers from the north, they will definitely not be able to stand this humid and hot air.

Even Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and others are very unsuitable for the climate in southern Sichuan.

In October, Zhao Yun stepped on the 36 caves of the Nanban 72 divisions, the old and the young were killed, the young and strong were recruited, the women were robbed, and the victory returned to the dynasty, Luo Zheng then ordered to place Yunnan County, selected officials to govern, and went south from 100,000 households in Xichuan to open up the south.
