Cao Zhen retreated far away, burned Yongxian County, Zhang Bao led his troops to chase, and won a lot, stopping more than 10,000 people, but after all, Cao Zhen escaped.

But Cao Zhenren is gone, which is also good news for the current big man.

Guanzhong is pacified.

Liu Chan can also dismiss most of the people, release them home, and go through the affairs of Wuguan Road.

Guanzhong Pingding, as the emperor Liu Chan, the life in the past month can only be described by two words: busy.

Liu Bei's funeral, Liu Bei's temple number, Liu Bei's name, this big pile of things, makes people so busy that their feet don't touch the ground.

What's more, the new dynasty wants to choose the era name and establish the queen, which will have another round of ripping.

Not to mention that in order to grasp the military power and the dangerous position, Liu Chan has carried out a lot of personnel transfers.

After the war, the meritorious deeds were rewarded, and the promotion of martial arts speakers and vassals of the imperial palace.

Each pile is very important.

The new dynasty has just been established, and everything has a feeling of being in ruins.

If it weren't for the fact that Shangshutai has Fazheng, the Prime Minister's Mansion has Zhuge Liang, and the Prince's Mansion, there are Fei Yi, Dong Yun and others who can share their worries, so many things come together, don't say that it is the revival of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that within a few days, he will die of exhaustion in Chang'an.

However, there are some things that his subordinates can do for him, but there are some things that Liu Chan still has to do by himself.

For example, worship the heavens.

The emperor ascended the throne to comfort the heavens and swear orthodoxy.

Son of Heaven, if even God doesn't know that you are on the throne, then are you still the Son of Heaven?

The ritual of sacrificing to the heavens is complicated, and the ritual of sacrificing the heavens when the emperor ascends the throne is even more complicated.

For example, the first gift of the line is to ask the emperor to first go to the lord to wash the throne and receive the knighthood, cleanse the knight, wipe the knight, and enter the knighthood, and then ascend to the altar to the wine honor, and the deacon enters the emperor with the knight. The emperor knelt in front of the throne and offered three incense gifts.

At the same time, Si Zhu knelt down to read the blessing text, and the music was suspended. After reading it, it means praying to heaven for the peace of the country and the people, and the good harvest of grains.

Such a ceremony can be regarded as easy when worshipping the heavens.

There are other rituals that are tiring.

Kneel kneel.

The entire ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens almost didn't abolish Liu Chan's knees.

Finally, the ritual reached its final stage.

Liu Chan held a bright yellow silk silk in his hand, stood on the altar, and chanted loudly:

On the day of the year, Liu Chan, the new monarch of the Yan Han Dynasty, would like to sincerely announce to the emperor the land of the Queen of Heaven and the spirits of the ancestors and ancestors in the sky:

Since the 100 years of his father's reign, the Han Dynasty has been inherited in an orderly manner. I was bequeathed by the emperor, supported by hundreds of officials, inherited the great treasure, and ascended to the Ninety-Five Honor. At today's auspicious time, I solemnly lead hundreds of officials to perform the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, in order to pray for the peace of the country and the people, and the wind and rain are smooth.

I know that the destiny of heaven is a great responsibility. From the day he ascended the throne, he must be diligent in government and love the people, make every effort to govern the country, rule the world with filial piety, and soothe the people with benevolence. May God bless the great man, the five grains will be abundant, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will be prosperous and strong.

The emperor and the queen of heaven are sincere. Fathers and fathers, bless their descendants. I am willing to take my small virtues, inherit the will of heaven, obey the hearts of the people, seek the blessings of the community, and enjoy the rule of peace.

I would like to sacrifice jade silk, wine and fruits, pay tribute to the gods of heaven and earth, and look forward to it.

Liu Chan advises.

In this way, this ritual of sacrificing to the heavens is roughly completed.

Although there are still some ceremonies in the back, Liu Chan no longer needs to do it himself.

However, after the ceremony of worshipping the heavens, it does not mean that Liu Chan's busy days are over, in fact, his 'good days' have just begun.

After the sacrifice, it is almost time to prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

Liu Chan, who was sitting in the emperor's chariot, sighed in his heart, this emperor is really not so simple.

It's easy to be a faint gentleman, but it's hard to be a bright gentleman.

The life of the emperor's cattle and horses has just begun.

Over time.

The news that the emperor of the Han State died and that Liu Chan, the crown prince of the Han State, ascended the throne as the emperor, soon spread all over the country.

Luoyang is only a few hundred miles away from Guanzhong, and the strength of the school government in Guanzhong is not weak, so Cao Pi, who had just returned to Luoyang, heard the news immediately.

"Damn!"

Cao Pi's face was flushed, and a mouthful of old blood was almost about to spurt out.

This Liu Chan, is he teasing him?

The information I learned from Chang'an before was: Liu Bei is about to die. But judging from Liu Chan's later actions, this news is fake news, and it was deliberately released by Liu Gonghei to coax him.

As a result, you are telling me now, Liu Bei is really dead?

This.

The news of feelings is true, but will Liu Gonghei drag it and hide it?

If he had persevered a little longer, would the outcome have been different?

Thinking of this, regret, pain, and all kinds of complex emotions came to his heart, which made Cao Pi feel like vomiting blood again.

Seeing Cao Pi like this, Queen Guo, who was dressed in the queen's robe, immediately grabbed Cao Pi's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much about the previous things, Liu Bei's death and Liu Chan's accession to the throne are normal things, and now, we have to deal with the affairs of Wei." ”

Queen Guo's figure is plump but dignified, like a blooming peony, which not only shows the graceful beauty of women, but also reveals the majesty and dignity of the queen.

The robe clings to the curves of her body, outlining her plump figure to the fullest.

A wide jade belt inlaid with gems is tied around her waist, which not only highlights her slender waist, but also adds a bit of opulence and luxury to her overall appearance.

With Queen Guo comforting, Cao Pi's flushed face finally slowly regained its calm, and after Yin Hong went, there was actually a pale feeling on his face, like he hadn't slept well for a long time, and then collapsed seven times a night.

"What the queen said is very true."

As the emperor, he was originally going to be happy and angry, but after losing Guanzhong, letting Chang'an be occupied by the Han State, and being defeated by Liu Chan several times, such a humiliating feeling came to his heart, how could he swallow this breath?

"It's a pity that the logistics are not good enough for food and grass, and there are people in Wei County who have rebelled, so I can only send troops to quell the chaos, and I can't take back Guanzhong when the Han State is in mourning!"

Millions of grains and grass were burned by the Han army in Hebei City, and the grain and grass in front could not supply most of the Wei army at all, so that Cao Pi could only move the army back continuously, and all the masters and sons were released.

Originally, he wanted to wait in Hongnong County, and when the logistics supplies arrived, he would come to find the matter of recovering Guanzhong.

As a result, because of the turmoil in the rear, the supply of grain and grass was affected, so that he could only retreat to Luoyang, and at the same time let Xiahou Shang be the commander and Sima Yi as the military advisor, and sent troops to quell the chaos.

Sometimes Cao Pi thinks in his heart, does that kid really have a destiny?

Why is this thief helping him all the time?

"Liu Gonghei ascended the throne and became the emperor, plus to digest Guanzhong, within a few years, I am afraid that I will not be able to use troops against my Great Wei, take this opportunity to strengthen the army and restore the national strength, the prince is also old, why not let the prince get married?"

Queen Guo said slowly on the side.

Get married?

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Sun Quan's daughter has been raised in Chang'an, and maybe through marriage, Wei and Jiangdong can be allied." ”

I have to say that the world is impermanent, and the large intestine encloses the small intestine.

A few years ago, he was still the strongest of the Three Kingdoms, and in just a few years, Jingzhou was lost, Runan was lost, Hanzhong was lost, and Guanzhong was also lost.

Now he Wei is no longer the strongest of the Three Kingdoms, and now the strongest has become the Han State.

Although Wei occupies the Central Plains, the people are rich and the products are rich, but now whether it is military strength or prestige in the world, Wei is not as far as Han State!

Just like now, although there are rebellions in the Han Kingdom, there are not many, and in the Wei Kingdom, at a critical moment, there are people who rebel, which is simply hateful!

"Choose a good day and let the prince marry Sun Quan's daughter!"

The Sun-Liu alliance is already a thing of the past.

Now it's the Sun Cao Alliance.

"Send an envoy to inform King Wu of the marriage and Liu Chan's accession to the throne, there is no need to talk about the alliance, he understands it."

Of course

Even if you talk about the alliance and sign an alliance with Sun Quan, there is always a feeling that you have not signed an alliance.

Since this Sun Quan has a tradition of betraying the alliance, just like a hero being passive, then if I don't sign an alliance with him, won't I not betray the alliance?

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Cao Pi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

What kind of wisdom am I, the emperor who lost his power and humiliated the country?

I only hope that the crown prince is really capable, otherwise the Wei State may not be the opponent of the Han State in the future.

As for himself.

The body is deteriorating day by day, perhaps.

Don't have a few years left to live?

Before coughing up blood, Cao Pi only felt that his body bones were not as good as before, but after coughing up blood, Cao Pi suddenly had a feeling that his life was short.

This is not only caused by his natural tuberculosis, but also related to his unrestrained living habits after he ascended the throne and became emperor.

in a word

Intentionally or unintentionally, Cao Pi has already begun to think about the future.

"The crown prince, after a hundred years, can he really treat you like this?"

The crown prince Cao Rong's attitude towards Queen Guo now can be described as extremely respectful, just like his biological mother, and Cao Pi also sees it in his eyes.

But

He is still alive now, the reason why the prince is so respectful to Queen Guo may be because of his face, and when the prince ascends the throne, will he be completely revealed?

Queen Guo immediately said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is not that kind of person. ”

"How can we figure out such a thing as the human heart? That's it, that's it~"

Cao Pi sighed, rested his head on Queen Guo's lap, and fell into a deep sleep, and after a while, a snoring sound sounded.

Queen Guo looked at the sleeping Cao Pi, her eyes were slightly red.

Who the crown prince is, she herself does not know.

But one thing she is clear, she is a woman, and she always has to find a man to rely on.

It's not a husband, it can only be a son.

The news of the Han kingdom's accession to the throne went down the river and soon arrived in Jianye.

If it is said that the Wei State has been fighting for many years and the people are tired, then in the Wu State, it can only be said that the people have fled and the fields have been barren.

After years of defeat, the land was ceded and the compensation was sent to the grain, which caused the people to flee in Wu.

At first, this kind of exodus was relatively rare, but as time went on, more and more people fled, so that Sun Quan had to send troops to stop it, and the people were organized into Rish, and they were sitting, and whoever dared to flee would be reduced to slaves or killed directly.

Sitting down in a row did stop the people from fleeing to a certain extent, but . .

Blind suppression has no effect.

If Wu Guo can't solve these problems at the root, then the escape of the people will definitely continue to happen.

As for what is so serious, the answer is simple.

There's nothing to eat!

On that day, Sun Quan gathered an army of 100,000 and looted an unknown amount of grain and grass from the people.

From that time on, there was not enough food and grass in the hands of the people.

Immediately afterwards, in order to seek peace, in order to redeem the more than 10,000 elites of the Wu army trapped in the Xunyang defense line, they frantically raised food, and these grains and grasses naturally came from the people.

Under the exhaustion of the fish, the remaining food of the people is completely insufficient to survive the winter.

This is also the root cause of the flight of the people.

I don't have anything to eat, I can't live anymore, don't run, wait for death?

Now.

Outside the construction industry.

In the palace of King Wu.

Sun Quan's face was hideous.

In front of him, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin and others didn't even dare to gasp.

"What can the people do about the fleeing? Can't each family put together some food and grass for disaster relief? ”

The people have no grain and grass in their hands, but the fact that the people have no grain and grass in their hands does not mean that the family has no grain and grass in their hands.

Sun Quan hoped that the Jiangdong Shi clan would contribute a little grain and grass to let Wu Guo tide over the difficulties.

Zhang Zhao had a bitter look on his face and said: "There is not much grain and grass in the mansion anymore, if you want to provide disaster relief, I am afraid that you have to buy grain from the Han State or the Wei State." ”

Don't the family have any food and grass in their hands?

Of course not.

The family has grain and grass in their hands, and there are many more.

In troubled times, through a little grain and grass, you can annex land and obtain tenant farmers, and the family wants the world to be in chaos.

Sun Quan knew very well about the family's urine, so after listening to Zhang Zhao's words, he immediately sneered.

Buying grain?

When the war was raging, grain and grass were more important than gold, and Wei and Han were also short of grain, so they would sell grain?

The people of Wu fled and fled where they were either Han or Wei, they were all laughing secretly, how could they care if you lived or died?

"Why don't you let the people of Jianghuai go to the south to eat?" Gu Yong offered advice on the side.

Since there is not enough food and grass in the local area, why not go to the south to find food?

"Jianghuai is a heavy land, the land is fertile, if the people leave, how to guarantee the harvest in the coming year?"

The land along the river is fertile land, and the plains are large, which can really be described as the land of fish and rice.

In these places, if the people are gone, and they don't grow grain in the coming year, how can the national strength of Wu be restored?

Just when the monarch and ministers were at a loss for what to do about this matter, the voice of the internal official came from outside the hall.

"King, the envoy of Wei has arrived!"

Wei envoy?

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, what is he doing here?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Sun Quan still said: "Lead the envoy of Wei to the side hall." ”

"King, maybe you can ask for help from the Wei Kingdom, today is the opportunity!"

Zhuge Jin hurriedly stepped forward and said.

People don't know what they're doing, so you come to ask for food?

Sun Quan snorted lightly and said, "I'll talk about it when Gu goes to see the envoy of Wei." ”

Not long after, in the side hall, Sun Quan met the envoy of Wei.

"The foreign envoy pays a visit to King Wu."

Sitting on the throne, Sun Quan waved his hand at the envoy of Wei and said, "I don't know what your lord ordered you to come?" ”

The envoy of Wei smiled and said, "This is written by my lord himself, and I also invite the king of Wu to look at it." ”

The internal official sent the letter in the hand of the envoy of Wu to Sun Quan, and when he opened the letter, Sun Quan's brows suddenly furrowed.

I saw that the letter reads:

Hearing the changes of the Han Kingdom, it has been a hundred years, and the prince Chan inherited the unification and ascended the throne as the emperor. The Han soldiers took advantage of the victory and pulled out Chang'an, and my Great Wei vitality was greatly injured.

When this sincerity is at the end of the world, I and King Wu conspire together.

Bei Zhi is in the world, and he has made enemies with our two countries, and the people are tired of running for their lives. Now that we are ready to die, Zen is newly established, or the Han country has the meaning of appeasement, and our country should also change with the times, in order to achieve long-term peace and stability.

However, I know that King Wu is also a hero, and he will be aware of the situation and have insight into the situation.

I also heard that King Wu has ordered to love Luban, who is both talented and beautiful, virtuous and virtuous. I want to send an envoy to propose, marry the good of Qin and Jin, and always be a state of lips and teeth. If we get married, then I and King Wu will conspire with the world, and it will be just around the corner. May King Wu consider it well and not disappoint my hopes.

Those who are in the world are not the world of one person, but the world of the world. I and King Wu should obey the heavens and the people, and conspire together for the great cause, so as to calm the people and determine the world.

The book is not exhaustive, and Pi bows again.

After reading Cao Pishou's letter, Sun Quan was speechless for a long time.

When did Cao Pi treat him so well?

The previous attitude towards him was arrogant, and he didn't take him Sun Zhongmou in his eyes at all.

The attitude towards him now can be described as a 180-degree turn.

seemingly

Guanzhong was captured, the Wei army was defeated, and Cao Pi of Wei couldn't get up, so he could only hope to deal with Han together through marriage with him Wu.

Sun Quan's eyes flashed.

Isn't this an opportunity for him Wu Guo?

He looked at that Liu Gonghei, he had been unhappy for a long time!

But

The matter of Sun Cao's alliance needs to be planned, and now the top priority of Wu State is the problem of grain and grass!

Anyway, let's get over the difficulties first!

Sun Quan's life creed is: no matter how fragrant the painted cake is, it is not as good as eating it in the stomach.

Take this opportunity to get some food and let Wu Guo tide over the difficulties is the key!
