"It's a waste of money and labor!"

Luo Zheng muttered: "For a corner of Jiangdong, consuming a year's national strength of my cadres, Sun Quan and Liu Bei are really hateful. ”

Jia Xu persuaded: "This is also a helpless thing, it is worth it to exchange one year of national strength for the unification of the world." ”

Luo Zheng nodded, and asked again, "How is the combat effectiveness of the naval army compared to that of the Wu and Han naval armies?" ”

Gan Ning said: "The ministers have clashed with the Wu and Han naval armies many times, and they have won and lost each other. In terms of soldiers, our army is inseparable from the Wu and Han naval armies; In terms of ordnance and equipment, our army is superior to the Wu and Han naval armies; However, Wu and Han are good at training the naval army, and every time our army clashes with Wu and Han naval forces, it is difficult to take advantage! ”

Luo Zheng said happily: "That's enough, as long as the navy sends my million-strong army across the river, it's enough!" ”

Gan Ning hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, it's no problem to send a million troops across the river." ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and said, "Quickly summon the generals of all departments and come to the commander to discuss sending troops!" ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

The ministers responded in unison.

In July, the governor of the Xigan Navy led 1,000 warships and 200,000 sailors and soldiers to take the initiative to attack. A total of 150,000 naval forces of the Wu and Han coalition armies fought a decisive battle with the Chibi and Xigan naval armies, and the Chibi was in flames, and the fire burned for a whole day and a night.

The Wu and Han naval armies wanted to attack with fire, but there was no southeast wind to give the Wu and Han naval forces the convenience.

Although the Xiqian Naval Army has an advantage in strength, and the warships and armaments are also stronger than the Wu and Han Naval Forces, there are basically few superior naval army generals except for Gan Ning, and the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops is not something that Gan Ning can do all the things alone.

The Western Qianshui Army and the Wu and Han Naval Armies were both defeated and wounded, and hundreds of thousands of people died at the bottom of the river.

The army of Xiqian wanted to cross the river. Had to fight.

The Wu and Han coalition forces wanted to stop the Western Qianshui Army, but they also had to fight.

It's a game of no return. The only way to fight to the death is to fight to the death, except to move forward bravely. No other way.

After the war, Gan Ning only led thousands of remnants of the army to defeat and fled back to the naval army.

Although the Wu and Han naval armies still had nearly 10,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers, almost all of the thousands of warships were destroyed, and they were no longer able to block the river.

Luo Zheng took advantage of the inability of the Wu and Han naval armies to block the river, and immediately led a million-strong army across the river to the south.

In September, Gao Shun, the general of Zhengdong, attacked the important town of Baling. immediately waved his army to the west and directly took Liu Bei's nest public security.

Liu Bei fled to Hanshou with his family, and Zhang Fei led 8,000 officers and soldiers to die in the army.

In October, Gao Shun's troops besieged Hanshou, Liu Bei and his family broke through and fled, the generals Huang Zhong and Situ Xu Shu were killed in battle, and Taiwei Pang Tong surrendered after being captured. On the way to Guiyang, Liu Bei was caught up by the cavalry led by Luo Cheng, a great man of Xiqian, and was killed after surrendering.

In November, the four counties of Jingnan were pacified.

December. Luo Zheng moved Kuailiang to the history of Jingzhou, and ordered the southern general Zhang Liao to guard Xiakou, and then returned to the court.

The first month has just passed. The early spring is warm and cool.

Chang'an, in a courtyard.

"Defeated?"

Zhou Yu muttered to himself. The look was stunned.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Western Qianshui Army and the Wu Han Naval Army were wiped out, and the Qiandi Luo led a million-strong army across the Yangtze River to the south. The news of Liu Bei's demise has reached Chang'an, and the pace of unification of the world has become unstoppable.

With the weak national strength of Wu and Han, once the million-strong army of Xiqian crossed the river, it would be impossible to resist it at all.

Although Zhou Yu was placed under house arrest in Chang'an, he has always been well aware of the situation in the world, and he is also very concerned about the Eastern Wu established by his close friend Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu sighed, full of ambition, but useless.

There is no greater pain in life than this.

In Zhou Yu's opinion, if he is allowed to direct this war, there is still hope for Wu and Han to defeat the Xiqian army, but unfortunately there is no if in this world.

The Wu Han Navy and the Xiqian Navy were all wiped out, and they failed to lock up the river after all.

"If there is an afterlife, when Yu Bofu raises millions of soldiers, he will look at the eagle!"

Zhou Yu muttered, then pulled out the sword at his waist and pulled it across his shins.

Burst!

The blood was splashing, the look in Zhou Yu's eyes faded, and he slowly fell.

Qianyuan Palace, Imperial Garden.

"Your Majesty, it's time for Yan'er to get married!"

Gan Qian looked at Luo Zheng, who was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, and couldn't help but say.

"Hmm!"

Luo Zheng raised his eyelids and asked, "Yan'er is only nineteen this year, right?" ”

Gan Qian sighed and said: "It has always been that women have to get married after fifteen and after the end of the fifteenth year, and Yan'er is already twenty years old, and if she doesn't marry again, she is afraid that she will become an old girl." The concubines have already selected a few good families, and they also asked the emperor to give them marriage! ”

Luo Zheng was noncommittal and asked, "What do you think about Yan'er?" ”

"This ......"

Gan Qian's face was embarrassed, as if she had an unspeakable addiction.

Ren Yan next to her was sad, the eldest princess Luo Yan was her biological daughter, but the emperor did not let her daughter get married, she had to stay until she was twenty years old, this was left as an old girl, how could she not worry about it.

What's even more annoying is that the girl has a crush on a craftsman, which makes her unacceptable no matter what.

Although the emperor has long said that the marriage of the girl should be decided by himself, but in ancient times, the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the marriage of the daughters of large families is not up to them, let alone the princess of the royal family.

In the eyes of women such as Gan Qian and Ren Yan, let the girls be the masters of their own marriage, and they have to choose who they want to marry.

When they have chosen, they can finally ask for the consent of their daughters, how can they really choose their own husband's family.

What's more, the choice is still a craftsman, which is simply insulting to the royal face.

In the minds of the ancients, scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, that is, scholars, undoubtedly had the highest social status, and they were farmers who farmed the land, while craftsmen and speculative businessmen had extremely low social status, and they were not as good as farmers who farmed the land.

No matter how rich a businessman is, in the eyes of the scholar, he is like a pig and a dog.

If the royal princess marries a craftsman, it will really disgrace the royal family.

Luo Zheng said: "What, Yan'er doesn't agree? ”

Gan Qian sighed and said, "Yan'er has fallen in love with a craftsman!" ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand indifferently and said: "What's wrong with the craftsman, they are all raised by their parents, as long as their hands and feet are sound and they are not old or sick, since Yan'er has taken a fancy to her, what is there to hesitate!" ”

"Your Majesty, no!"

Ren Yan hurriedly said: "Yan'er is the eldest princess, how can she marry a craftsman, it is really a loss of royal face!" ”

"What a shameless thing!"

Luo Zheng frowned and said: "How can it be so strict, I see that you have eaten rice for a few days, and you don't know what the chaff taste is." What happened to the craftsman? I'm not from the grassroots. You guys, don't keep clinging to those rigid things, many Confucian rituals are unreasonable, in my eyes, there is no distinction between high and low, these bad things, I must destroy them all in the future. Okay, you two don't have to say much, I have my own measure, go and call Yan'er over! ”

"The concubine obeys!"

Gan Qian didn't dare to persuade again, so she had to agree. (To be continued......)
