- On the ninth day of December, after a long period of thinking and weighing, Cao Cao finally gave up his past ambitions and led his troops to Luoyang to meet Wang Yu. In a harmonious and positive atmosphere, the two sides reached a number of consensuses. Three days later, Cao Cao officially took office as the imperial prime minister and began to coordinate the government affairs of the country.
There are six ministries: commerce, industry, agriculture, household, government, and goods production.
? Among them, there is no need to go into details about the agriculture, industry and commerce. The Ministry of Household Affairs is mainly responsible for population co-ordination. The Ministry of Government Affairs was thought up by Wang Yu and is responsible for investigating and collecting various intelligences to study and review various policies and provide a basis for upper-level decision-making. As for the currency industry, currently it is mainly based on coinage, but it will be the financial sector in the future.
Even with Cao Cao's old ways, Leng Ding was a little confused when he encountered so many new things, and he was busy day and night, unable to do anything.
Tian Feng didn¡¯t have time to breathe a sigh of relief after handing over his duties as Prime Minister. He was appointed as the imperial censor by Wang Yu.
The primary job is to supervise legislation, and the basic responsibility is to review relevant laws, decrees, treaties, and other legal matters. In addition, he also has to take charge of the supervision of officials across the country, as well as the supervision and guidance of local law enforcement work.
In short, this is the prototype of the legal department of later generations. In the future, it will be divided and refined according to changes, but now it is this kind of big yamen that can be grasped at once.
It has two major departments: the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Shen Pei, Man Chong, Li Yan and Fazheng all served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Wang Yu himself is relatively simple. He appointed himself Taiwei and commanded the world's troops under the title of General Hussars.
This is set up in accordance with the Three Dukes of the Han system. In addition, Wang Yu also appointed his father-in-law Cai Yong as Guangluxun. The responsibilities of personnel and education were handed over to this yamen, with Xun Yu and Zhong Yao serving as deputies.
Kong Rong was appointed as Taichang. This yamen is basically equivalent to the Ministry of Rites in the Song and Ming Dynasties, responsible for etiquette, sacrifices, compilation of history, compilation of music for formal occasions, etc. It¡¯s just that the responsibilities of divination and scientific research are no longer available. The former is unnecessary, while the latter is a matter of division of powers and responsibilities.
In addition, Wang Yu also set up an imperial physician order, with Hua Tuo as the chief order, Zhang Zhongjing and Zhang Ning as his deputies; he was responsible for public security, which was equivalent to the Weiwei Department of the later Metropolitan Police Department. Lu Bu, who was injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, became the chief He is the director of the department; Zong Zheng, who is responsible for handling royal affairs, is appointed by Chen Lin; Da Hong is responsible for diplomacy, and so on
On the surface, Wang Yu gave up some of his power. In fact, the important positions are still in the hands of the old Qingzhou ministry. The six yamen under Cao Cao are held by Mi Zhu, Ma Jun, Guoyuan, Xun You, Guo Jia and Wang Xiu respectively.
It seems that Cao Cao has three old ministries, but in fact, the power of the Ministry of Industry is more concentrated in Huang Yueying's hands. Xun You is responsible for statistics, Guo Jia is responsible for collecting and analyzing intelligence, and Cao Cao, the prime minister, is a pure coolie. , has no power to appoint or remove officials. How can this prime minister take charge of the government?
Fortunately, Cao Cao did not expect that Wang Yu would change his mind and give up power, so he was not too disappointed.
However, Mi Heng¡¯s appointment has caused a lot of doubts. Dahonglu is responsible for diplomacy, according to tradition. Even the communication with the vassal states is his responsibility, and he will usually find a good old man who is highly respected and mellow. Just Mi Heng's foul mouth
But Wang Yu¡¯s answer was very domineering. He said he would be a big man in the future. You don¡¯t need all the nations to come to court, you just need me to come. I see, I conquer!
Want to engage in diplomacy with the Han Dynasty? Then you have to be prepared for all kinds of anger.
As for the vassal states, that is an internal issue. Now we are in charge of it ourselves. Maybe some department will be set up to take charge of it in the future.
After completing the adjustments in the court, Wang Yu notified Chen Lin to return and depose the emperor, depose Liu Zhang, the emperor established by Cao Cao, and restore Liu Xie, who had gone through hardships and no longer looked like a young man, to the throne.
Of course, this emperor is just a decoration. In the future, he may become a totem of religious beliefs, but he will definitely have no chance of power.
Liu Xie¡¯s thoughts were not allowed by the officials, but at least he was very calm when he accepted the audience.
In the past six months, he followed Chen Lin to many places and saw too much suffering among the people and the devastation of life. According to Wang Yu's instructions, Chen Lin would discuss with the young man wherever he went, how to avoid these situations if the latter gained power in the world?
Of course Liu Xie couldn't answer. Not to mention that he was a young emperor who had never had any power for a long time. Even his fathers and ancestors had never really handled actual government affairs. Even if he could barely argue a few words, how could he be the opponent of Chen Caizi, who was full of wonderful pens and talented people?
After these things, Liu Xie was fully mentally prepared for the deprivation of power. He began to formally consider not wanting power but only glory.Would it be a better choice for Mrs.
The generals did not participate in this merit-based discussion, and their hearts were not here.
Preparations for the Southern Expedition are still in full swing, and the fighting is already in full swing in Yizhou, thousands of miles away.
With Cao Cao's surrender, Cao Hong, who was guarding Sanguan, finally opened the pass. Xu Shu, Pan Zhang, and Ma Zhong led 20,000 Yulin elites, plus the Yinwu Army led by Taishi Ci, Gao Shun, and Wei Yan.
Zhang Lu, who originally defended Hanzhong, did not dare to resist. After a short negotiation, he finally chose to surrender, and Hanzhong was settled without a fight.
Liu Yan was shocked when he heard the news, and he quickly mobilized General Zhang Ren, leading lieutenants such as Liu Wei, Leng Bao, Deng Xian, and 30,000 Yizhou soldiers to attack. This army and horses were originally prepared to leave Sichuan to reinforce Cao Cao, but it saved time to assemble.
The two sides started a fierce battle at Baishui Pass.
Although Zhang Ren is a good general, the Yizhou Army has not fought a major battle in many years and is no match for the Qingzhou Army, which has experienced hundreds of battles. The mountain warfare that they are proud of is no match for Xu Shu's army, which has been training in the Taihang Mountains for a long time and is led by experts like Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong.
What is even more deadly is the Hidden Mist Army. This army is already very strong, and the three generals leading it are even more powerful than the heavens. Zhang Ren was just an oversight that could not be considered an oversight, but he actually got the news that his retreat was cut off by Gao Shun.
In desperation, Zhang appointed Liu Quan and Leng Bao to lead 10,000 troops to return for reinforcements, thinking that they could at least drive Gao Shun away first. As a result, the second general was attacked at night only when he was halfway there. The three generals of Yinwu each led hundreds of people to attack from three sides. Wei Yan's formation beheaded Liu Huang, and Taishi Ci captured Leng Bao alive. All ten thousand Shu soldiers were wiped out.
When the news reached Baishui Pass, the whole army was in an uproar, and even Zhang Ren could not suppress it. After Xu Shu heard the news, he took the opportunity to attack violently. The Yizhou army collapsed on the spot. Zhang Ren managed to escape among the rebels, while Deng Xian was trampled to death by the defeated soldiers.
This bad news dealt a heavy blow to Old Liu Yan, who had to call the time and vomited blood and fainted on the spot. It took a full day before he woke up. When I woke up, I was speechless. He was unable to move and was unable to take charge of the affairs. He just designated with his eyes that his two sons would be in charge, and two brothers, Sima Lang and Sima Yi, would assist him.
The Sima brothers did not give in. The hatred between the Sima family and Wang Yu was already deep. There was no room for retreat and they had no choice but to fight to the end. Liu Yan killed the envoy and destroyed the book that day, which was certainly driven by ambition. But it was not without the persuasion of Brother Sima.
The two brothers discussed for a while and made the decision that Sima Lang would stay in Chengdu to take charge of the overall situation, while Sima Yi would lead the army to fight.
He transferred the famous general Yan Yan from Bajun and based on his observations during this period. He promoted Zhang Yi, Lei Tong and other generals with acceptable abilities but low status, and then mobilized 20,000 soldiers and horses to go to Jiange. Join Zhang Ren's remaining troops to resist the Central Plains soldiers and horses who are pursuing the victory.
It was snowing heavily. The two armies were not at war, but were temporarily in a stalemate.
At the same time as the battle in Yizhou continued. The reception of Jingzhou and preparations for the southern expedition are also in progress.
On December 22nd, after much planning, Zhuge Liang appeared in Jiangxia and officially started a dialogue with Zhou Yu.
No one knows what the two men said, neither the people involved nor the historians of later generations. This conversation lasted until the Lantern Festival of the next year, for a full twenty-four days!
In the end, this negotiation or debate ended with Zhuge Liang successfully persuading Zhou Yu.
When the news came back to Luoyang, Wang Yu was overjoyed. When the spring warmed up the next year, the vigorous southern expedition began, and the navy was the first to be dispatched.
At the beginning of the Central Plains War, Chen Deng and his son from Guangling decided to side with Qingzhou. From then on, Wang Yu began to prepare for the southern expedition. In addition to intelligence infiltration, the most important preparation he made was to build a naval base off the coast of Guangling.
The specific location is on a sandbar east of Hailing and north of the estuary of the Yangtze River.
Wang Yu initially thought that the place called Hu Douzhou was Chongming Island, but later he compared the location and found that it was wrong. It was too far north.
However, this detail is not important. What is important is that the location of this island is very good. From the map, it can overlook the counties and counties along the coast of Jiangdong. From here, the Jiangdong Army will either concentrate its forces on the Jiangkou battle or not at all. It's just impossible to guard against.
From a defensive point of view, Hu Douzhou is closer to Guangling and can quickly send troops for reinforcements - the territory Wang Yu promised to the Chen family and his sons was the main island of the later Japanese country, which is now Dongsan Island. During the Central Plains War, the Chen family had already begun to hand over territory and at the same time sent people to explore the East Three Islands.
Today¡¯s Dongsan Island has a limited population and is still uncivilized. Large-scale immigration is not realistic. What Wang Yu wants is just the resources on that island, so he simply leaves it to the Chen family and his son. With the methods of the father and son, as long asIf you treat this place as your own backyard and manage it carefully, you will surely see the results soon. It will be much less troublesome than cultivating it yourself.
Now in charge of Guangling's defense are Lu Su and Huang Zhong, as well as deputy generals Xu Sheng and Li Bin. The main composition of the army is the 20,000 Thunder Army. Coupled with Gan Ning's navy, the lineup is extremely powerful.
Before Sun Ce died, he was very vigilant about Guangling and deployed many targeted defensive measures. After Sun Ce died, Sun Quan was busy taking over power. While all the forces in Jiangdong were fighting for power, they pinned their hopes of preventing Qingzhou on Shangbiao Chenchen and Zhou Yu, and for a while they didn't care about coastal defense at all.
As a result, Gan Ning immediately attacked quickly after receiving the order, marching all the way south, fighting and walking. The coastal areas of Wujun and Kuaiji were surrounded by smoke, and everything was in danger!
His tactics are very simple, which is to land and attack weak points. Relying on the support and guidance of the intelligence system presided over by Pang Tong, Jinfan was invincible wherever he went, and everyone along the coast was in danger.
Sun Quan could not care about consolidating his power. He was busy putting out fires and rescuing people for several months. Half of the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong were concentrated in the coastal areas.
As a result, at this moment, bad news came from the west. Zhou Yu led Jiangxia's 20,000 mountain Vietnamese troops and more than 10,000 naval troops to surrender, and the gate to the east and west of Jiangxia suddenly opened.
Without the obstruction of Jiangxia's army, Zhou Cang's navy flowed down the river. No scruples. In two battles at Chaisang and Pengze, they easily defeated Lu Dai and Dong Xi. He sailed eastward and met up with Zhang Liao and Pang Tong's Huainan army at Liyang. First, they defeated the main naval force of the Jiangdong Army at Niuzhukou, and then quickly transported Zhang Liao's army to land and attack Stone City!
Sun Quan did not bother to continue to struggle with Gan Ning, and quickly returned to fight. He confronted Zhang Liao in Moling, temporarily blocking the Qingzhou Army's offensive.
However, Jiangdong, which has lost Jiangfang, is too vulnerable to attacks from superior enemies. It¡¯s simply difficult to look at the beginning and the end.
The first bad news came from Dantu. Zhou Cang's navy did not sit idle after successfully transporting Zhang Liao's army to land. They continued to sail eastward and met Huang Zhong and Lu Su's Thunder Army at Jiangdu Port. After landing, they did not stop. Work hard to conquer Dantu and Qu'a in succession.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? He landed in Lou County with three thousand soldiers and captured Wu County with a night attack!
No need to look at the map, Sun Quan also knew what a dangerous situation he was about to face.
Three strong forces!
Attack from three sides!
He made an immediate decision. He immediately gave up Moling and ran southward, trying to catch up before the Qingzhou Army's three armies encircled him. Escape to a safer place. As for the territory that has been lost and is about to be lost, he can no longer care about it.
Originally, going west to Leize to fight guerrillas was also an option. Yan Baihu relied on this move to hold back Sun Ce back then. But Sun Quan didn't dare at all. The two generals of the Qingzhou Navy were both water bandits, and they were very familiar with the tactics in the world. Sun Quan didn't think he could pull off any new tricks in front of these two people.
He could only flee south. If he could retreat to Kuaiji in time, it would be best to rely on the Qiantang River to rebuild his defense line. If that didn't work, he could even consider escaping to Yongning or even Dongzhi.
Sun Quan did not dare to surrender because Zhou Yu's betrayal frightened him. He was not sure what conditions Zhou Yu had negotiated with Wang Yu. What if he wanted to sacrifice his own life in memory of his brother?
He didn¡¯t kill his brother with his own hands, but this matter did have a lot to do with him. Zhou Yu¡¯s relationship with his brother was closer than that of himself. Who can guarantee that his condition would not cost his own life?
When Sun Quan fled to Wanling, his army had shrunk by nearly half. When he arrived at Yuqian, less than one-third of his troops were left. But he was very happy, because if he walked another fifty miles eastward, he would reach Qiantang.
However, when he finally arrived at Qiantang City, he was horrified to see that the flag flying at the top of the city was actually a large flag with Chinese characters on a red background and black characters!
He forgot how high Gan Ning¡¯s naval mobility was. He returned to the coast from Wujun, then boarded a ship and chased him in a big circle. His speed was still faster than running on two feet, and much faster!
Sun Quan could only continue to flee, fleeing to a place where the Qingzhou Army could not catch up, but does such a place really exist?
¡¡
There is no accurate information about Sun Quan¡¯s final whereabouts. On the way to escape, his army was completely defeated. Most of the Jiangdong clan gave up halfway, or died in the rebel army, or were captured by the pursuing Qingzhou army. Only Sun Quan persisted until the end.
He fled to Wuyi Mountain with his last few dozen guards, and then a rebellion broke out. Almost all the guards participated in the rebellion, including even the generals Sun Quan regarded as his confidants.??Qin.
They want to use Sun Quan's head to find a way out.
The only person still standing in front of Sun Quan was Zhou Tai. This fierce general's full power was extremely terrifying, killing more than thirty people in one breath. Only Jiang Qin relied on his martial arts to escape with injuries.
Of course, such an outbreak will not be without cost. Zhou Tai suffered dozens of injuries, but in a place like this, Hua Tuo would obviously not come to save his life. The Qingzhou Army who conducted a search afterwards found Zhou Tai's body nearby, but traces of Sun Quan disappeared, as if this person had never existed in the world.
The destruction of Jiangdong dealt a devastating blow to the two forces that were still resisting.
After spring, the war in Yizhou resumed. With his resourcefulness and geographical advantage, Sima Yi and Xu Shu fought in a battle of wits and strength in Jiange, and they were basically evenly matched. But the good times did not last long. News of Jiangdong's army's retreat soon spread to Yizhou, and the morale of Yizhou's army began to be unstable.
At this time, Sima Yi received the bad news that Gao Shun and Wei Yan had sneaked across the Yinping Trail and defeated Jiangyou and Mianzhu.
As in history, the Yizhou separatist forces were no longer able to resist, and flags were raised and lowered in various places, with Chengdu being the first to set an example. Among Sima Yi's troops, Yan Yan, Lei Tong, Zhang Yi and others surrendered one after another. Even Zhang Ren, who historically would rather die than surrender, was not immune.
Sima Yi could only embark on the road of escape with a remnant army like Sun Quan. His goal was Yunnan.
His run just fulfilled Taishi Ci's wishes. Taishi Ci, who was eager for a life-long event, pulled up his two brothers and pursued him all the way with Sanqian Yinwu. Along the way, more than a dozen tribes who were bewitched by Sima Yi were eliminated, and at the same time they also won over other tribes that had no intention of confronting the Central Plains.
Finally, by the Dianchi Lake, he met the person in his destiny.
According to what Taishi Ci later said, he and his beloved wife fell in love at first sight and were like glue. However, according to Wei Yan, an eyewitness at the scene, an earth-shattering battle once took place there. The final result was that the Sima brothers were crowned heads, while Taishi Ciqiang snatched no one and returned.
Because the differences between the two were too great, the official finally adopted the statement of another eyewitness, Gao Shun.
His original words were this: "There was indeed a battle, but it was not as exaggerated as the article leader said. It was just a duel. Ziyi connected with Zhu Rong's twenty-seven flying knives with his bare hands, convinced the opponent, and hugged the beauty Return. As for the earth-shattering battle Wei Yan mentioned, it was probably when a wedding was held here later. According to those who went to Qianggen in accordance with local customs, including Wen Chang, it was said that a seven-capture play was staged that night. The Seventh Column¡¯s good show, as for the specific situation, I don¡¯t know.¡±
?According to the historian's recollection, Gao Shun's face at that time showed pure confusion.
¡¡
The last resistance force was Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers in the Dabie Mountains.
In fact, the real crackdown has not started at all. Liu Bei had an informant in Jiangxia. After discovering that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu started spying, he felt that something was wrong.
When Zhou Cangdong came and Zhou Yu changed his banner, Liu Bei completely gave up his luck.
He was much smarter than Sun Quan and Sima Yi. He did not engage in any drama of fleeing thousands of miles alone, but directly dismissed the troops, leaving only his old buddy Jian Yong who was unwilling to abandon him. Taking advantage of the chaos of war everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and no one paying attention, the two of them set out on the road together, also heading south, and then disappeared into the sea of ??people.
Some people say that he went to Jiaozhou to live in seclusion incognito; others say that he went to farther places relying on the simplified version of the map in the decree.
But no one cares anymore, because a new era is beginning, and the people and things in the past are just like the water rolling eastward, disappearing into the white waves. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
