Chapter 59: What Does He Know?

When Zhang Bu and Pu Yangxing sat in front of Sun Xiu and learned about Lu Kang, the two immediately changed their faces.

"This person is just a big talker!!"

Zhang Bu hadn't spoken yet, but Pu Yangxing couldn't help it.

Puyangxing has been busy with the overall planning of reclamation these days.

The loss of Jiangbei greatly reduced the national strength of Wu, and Wu now wants to maintain a large number of troops, but there is also a problem with food.

Sun Xiu wanted to learn from some of Cao Wei's policies, develop more of the south, reclaim more arable land, and use those displaced and mountain people to increase tax revenue.

Puyangxing was controversial in the DPRK.

Zhang Bu is okay, after all, he was directly involved in the major event of getting rid of Sun Qi, and he is the most important and critical person among them.

Ding Feng was also protected at the beginning.

Sun Xiu wants to reuse him, and the ministers have nothing to say, after all, he is indeed meritorious, and he should have more rewards to protect the merit of eliminating thieves.

But what about Puyangxing?

Why is he?

When he got rid of Sun Qi, he neither offered advice nor made efforts.

At most, he is a verbal supporter, and he has no qualifications himself, it is entirely because of his good personal relationship with Sun Xiu that he has risen so quickly.

The ministers were very unconvinced by him, and they were extremely dissatisfied with his collusion with Zhang Bu to control the power of the temple.

Pu Yangxing is also anxious to prove his talent, he wants to let his ministers know that he did not rely on the emperor's favor to sit in his current position, and he also has real talent and learning.

And this time, when he learned that Sun Xiu was in a hurry to improve his national strength, this virtuous minister immediately put forward a great plan to build Danyang Lake Field and Puli Pond.

According to Puyangxing's plan, after the completion of this major project, the Wu State will not be short of food for many years.

But the ministers did not support Pu Yangxing's plan.

Many ministers were clearly opposed, they felt that with the current national strength of Wu, it was simply wishful thinking to complete such a project, and if they did so, it would cost a lot of money, and they didn't know when it would be successful, which was absolutely not possible.

Pu Yangxing believes that the ministers oppose it because they despise themselves, not because they have problems with their ideas.

Now, when he heard Sun Xiu talk about Lu Kang's clear opposition to his policy, he immediately couldn't sit still.

He said unhappily: "Your Majesty, Lu Kang is just a young descendant, it is only because of his father's exploits that he can make suggestions in front of His Majesty, how can such a person know about the major events in the world?" ”

Hearing Pu Yangxing's words, Sun Xiu did not rush to answer him.

Zhang Bu was of course also on the side of his allies at this moment, and he said: "Your Majesty, Jingnan is solid, it is definitely not as he said, the army of the general and General Ding is full of 70,000 people, and there are generals around to meet them!" ”

"Lu Kang's words are a bit exaggerated."

Sun Xiu thought for a long time before he said: "I listened to Lu Kang talk about the front line, it doesn't look like he was talking nonsense, besides, even Zhuge Ke was full of praise for him at the beginning, I don't think this person is talented, I plan to let him serve as Chaisangdu, responsible for the defense of the front line, if necessary, I will take over the general and others." ”

Zhang Bu was about to persuade, but when he heard that he was in charge of the front-line defense, he suddenly fell silent.

After thinking about it, Zhang Bu hurriedly said, "The minister thought it was okay." ”

Pu Yangxing on the side was stunned for a moment, but reluctantly agreed.

Sun Xiu immediately issued an edict to worship Lu Kang as Chaisangdu and put him in charge of the defense of the front line.

Of course, he did not take the suggestion of reclamation.

Lu Kang left Jianye, and Puyang Xing also used the matter of reclamation to exclude dissidents, suppress disobedient people, and forced the ministers to pass his so-called policy of governing the fields.

Pu Yangxing decided to start this year.

At this time, it was already February of the fourth year of Cao Wei's Zhengyuan.

What Sun Xiu, Pu Yangxing and others didn't know was that Jingnan had already fallen into a bitter battle at this moment.

Shi Ji's fears are entirely correct.

Wang Ji directly in the name of attacking Yong'an, ignored Wuxian, swaggered over, and then he left a partial division, led the main force to continue to advance, from Yong'an, the territory of Shu crossed the river.

At this moment, the Shu army was in Yong'an, and Wang Ji easily came to the other side of the river.

From here, he then stormed Jianpyeong-gun directly by land.

The army of Wu has always been placed on the coast, relying on the strength of warships to defend, and when Wang Ji launched a fierce attack directly from the direction they had not expected, Jianping County could not stop it at all, but fortunately, Yidao's army arrived at the battlefield in time.

However, this is useless, Wang Ji's strength at the moment is completely superior, and the combat effectiveness does not know how much more than the other party, just pushed all the way, the most tragic thing is that those troops along the coast suffered backstabbing and suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the reinforcements from Yidu County and Nanjun arrived in time, otherwise Jianping County would have been subdued by Wang Ji immediately.

Wang Ji divided his troops and attacked directly in the direction of Wuling County, which was completely empty.

Shi Ji distributed his troops on this line of defense from Jianping County to Jiangxia County, and there were not many troops or generals in Jingnandi in the rear.

Wang Ji took the newly conquered military Wang Jun of Shenzhennan as the vanguard and led his troops to capture these places.

Along the way, Wang Jun did not suffer any obstacles, and killed all sides along the way.

This completely disrupted Shi Ji's deployment, and when he saw the other party, he went towards the four counties, and Shi Ji had no choice but to divide his troops and gather the army of Hengyang County to resist them.

Wang Ji was not in a hurry to break through Shi Ji's defense line at all, he himself led the main force to attack Jianping County slowly, on the one hand, he watched his subordinates continue to subdue the lost ground.

At the same time, Wen Qin finally made a big move, and after Wang Ji took control of Xinling in Jianping County, Wen Qin's army crossed the river from here and killed them directly towards Jingmen and Yidao.

Shi Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Qin appear, so he asked Ding Feng to send someone to the rescue, and he led the army to Yidao to support.

For a time, the entire Jingnan was in chaos.

And unlike Jingnan, it is the Shu Kingdom that is now exceptionally calm, no, it is Shu.

At this moment, Cao Chao had already led the Emperor of Shu and other ministers who were willing to leave, and rushed in the direction of Luoyang.

And Zhuge Dan and others also led the Chinese army to start withdrawing.

The appointment of local officials once again troubled Cao Chao.

At this moment, Cao Chao was sitting in the carriage, it was still extremely cold outside, and the wind was blowing, especially from Chang'an, he could see the snow on the road that had not yet melted, and Cao Chao felt cold when he sat in the carriage.

Fortunately, he left those old ministers in Hanzhong, and if he forced them to follow him, he was afraid that he would have ascended to heaven by now.

During these days, Cao Chao met privately with the ministers of Shu.

These ministers still have a very good attitude towards themselves.

Especially the Zhou Zhou.

As the eldest brother with investment, Cao Chao must also give him enough rewards and rewards.

But in several meetings with Qian Zhou, Cao Chao found that in fact, Qian Zhou was not a flattering villain.

His health is really not good, shivering in this cold day, Cao Chao also gave him a luxurious carriage, which is warm enough.

When Chen Zhou was talking to Cao Chao, his words were very upright, and he didn't have that villain posture.

And the disciples of Qian Zhou, Cao Chao also met a few times.

Chen Shou is currently a young man, and when he saw Cao Chao, his face was flushed, and he was hesitant for most of the day, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Cao Chao sat in the carriage and looked at the many documents in his hand.

The first was the administrative planning of Yizhou, and Cao Chao fully consulted the ministers of the DPRK and China, and in the end, he decided to adopt the opinion of Lu Qin.

Lu Qin believes that Shu should be divided into three, the topographical advantages of Shu are too suitable for separation, and it can no longer be allowed to become a whole, and such a large state is not suitable for governance, so it is better to divide it into three states.

Lu Qin's proposal was to set up Liangzhou with Hanzhong as the center, which is the ancient name, with Chengdu as the center, Yizhou as the center, and then Jianning, Yunnan and other counties as the center to establish Ningzhou.

Cao Chao is not surprised by this, isn't this the division of Sima Zhao in history?

It turned out that you kid brought it up!

But Cao Chao was a little hesitant about the specific candidate.

The first is the history of Yizhou Thorn.

This position is really too important, and it is necessary to send a henchman, and it is not so extreme, who can appease the local henchman and do the aftermath work.

It's really not easy to find such people.

Cao Chao thought about it, and finally there was a candidate, Biqiudian.

Originally, Biqiudian was sent to the local area by Cao Chao because of the unfavorable governance of the imperial historical platform, and served as the local county guard, and he also accumulated a lot of experience in the local area.

And he is an upright person, he will not act nonsense, and he is completely worthy of his trust, which is more suitable in all aspects.

Once the history of Yizhou is chosen, it will be much easier for the other two places.

Cao Chao still wants Huo Yi to continue to stay in Nanzhong and serve as the assassin of Ningzhou, of course, he has to meet with him first.

As for Liangzhou, Cao Chao also thought of a candidate.

Cao Chao is ready to let the county guard who has made great contributions this time lead Hong to take the role.

Zhan Hong is the son of Zhao Zhao, he is resolute, he has his father's demeanor, he has some level of fighting and governing the place, and with his previous merits, it is more than enough to be a local assassin.

As for other county guards and the like, it is up to the officials to figure out their own way.

Cao Chao couldn't appoint so many people, and in addition, there were those soldiers who had made great contributions during the war, and these people also had to be rewarded and appeased.

There's still a lot to do.

Not long after Cao Chao's carriage left Chang'an, he heard the bad news from Luoyang.

Sima Zhao committed suicide.

He left a letter stating that he was a guilty man and that he would deal with himself when the emperor returned victorious, and decided to commit suicide in order not to be humiliated, and he wrote down all these intrigues and crimes in the clan.
