Zhuge Jin knew that all he had to do was make a good posture. As he knelt down, Zhuge Jin had already expected that Sun Quan would come to help him up in person, then untie himself, comfort him, and send him to the front line of Poyang Lake. .
"Mr. Zhuge, you are willing to die for Gu Xiao, right?" Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Jin on the ground and said.
Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, "Yes, yes."
"Well, let me lend you my head."
Before Zhuge Jin could react, Lu Meng had already stepped forward and chopped off Zhuge Jin's head with a single knife under the horrified gaze of Zhuge Jin's wide eyes.
¡¡
"Zhuge Jin has surrendered, and I have ordered him to return to Wucheng. You must reorganize your army immediately and follow me out."
Sun Quan and L¨¹ Meng rectified Zhuge Jin's 10,000-strong navy on the river bank, leaving only the big ship, small boats and some soldiers behind. He took 5,000 elite soldiers with him, boarded the big ship and left the river mouth, sailing towards the vast sea.
Sun Shangxiang stood by the river and watched the fleet go away, and said to Zhou Yu: "Brother Gongjin, the second brother took five thousand people to sea. Speaking of which, I let it go on purpose. If my husband finds out, will you blame me?"
Zhou Yu smiled: "If the King of Shu blames you, won't you let your second brother go?"
Sun Shangxiang lowered his head: "I just hope that my husband won't hate me for this."
Sun Shangxiang was a little scared, because she knew that Liu Zhang would not let his opponent go for anyone. Sun Quan's unremitting ambition would undoubtedly be a big trouble.
If she leaves like this now, her husband will inevitably blame herself, and Sun Shangxiang feels a little uneasy.
Zhou Yu looked at the somewhat uneasy Sun Shangxiang and breathed a sigh of relief: "At least, this result is not the worst."
In the autumn of 209 AD, when Wei Yan and Fa Zheng were preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Jiangdong, Zhou Yu ordered the execution of Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao. Gu Yong, Lu Xun and other descendants of all the noble families were imprisoned for giving birth to women.
Led the entire Jiangdong and all the troops to surrender, Wei Wen completed the reorganization of the Jiangdong navy, Wei Yan completed the reorganization of the Jiangdong infantry, Fazheng led the army to advance into Jiangdong, and the people of Jiangdong lined the streets to welcome him, and the Sichuan army quickly controlled the entire territory of Jiangdong.
So far, since the Battle of Fucheng in 199 AD. By 209 AD, Jiangdong was pacified. It took ten years for the Sichuan army to finally dominate the world.
This is also the time when Dong Zhuo entered the capital. After the chaos in the world, the world was once again unified.
The news spread quickly across the country on snowflakes of paper. All the people in the world were excited and excited.
Liu Zhang, who was inspecting the progress of the project in Peiping, received the news that Zhou Yu had surrendered in Jiangdong and that Wei Yan was in control of the whole territory of Jiangdong. He quickly issued an order to comprehensively reorganize the navy based on the Sichuan Army and Navy.
Expansion on the original basis of Jianye Water Port. The stationing of 50,000 naval troops was nominally to prevent Sun Quan, who had fled to the sea, from counterattacking.
Jianye Water Port has Gan Ning as the chief governor and Zhou Yu as the deputy governor.
The rest of the naval forces will follow Wei Wen to the north along the coast and will station themselves in the area that is still under construction and was named by Liu Zhang himself. Tianjin Water Port is located in the heart of Bohai Bay.
At the same time, he ordered Fa Zheng Wei Yan to disarm the troops stationed in Jiangdong. The disarmament policy was consistent with that of the northern army. Some of the remaining elite troops were stationed in southern Xinjiang. Wei Yan will lead the defense of Shanyue, and the rest of the troops will be led by Fazheng. And bring retired soldiers who are willing to settle in Youzhou to be transferred north.
Youzhou Beiping.
The weather in September was already cold in Peiping, so Liu Zhang only brought one person with him, along with Fan Lixiang¡¯s Shenwei Army, to inspect the progress of the project construction in Peiping.
Because of the incentive policy, a large number of retired soldiers and former Hebei refugees joined the construction. The project progressed quickly. Now Peiping is full of haunted houses. Most of the original city walls have been demolished, greatly expanding the size of the city.
The palace is similar to the Xuchang Palace built by Cao Cao. It is not luxurious, but it does not lose its royal style. Based on the previous Yan Palace, the main palace complex has been formed, and other supporting palaces are under construction.
¡°Everyone thought this was Huang Yueying¡¯s Yanwang Palace, and they just thought it was really luxurious and could perfectly match the status of the Sichuan Army¡¯s first military advisor.
"But these people just think of it as a luxurious palace. If they knew it was a palace, they would definitely think it was a bit rough.
It¡¯s just that Liu Zhang hasn¡¯t announced this news yet, so no one knows.
"My lord, now everyone in the world, not only us soldiers, not only those officials, but also the common people in the world are waiting for you to become emperor. What are you still hesitating about?"
Fan Lixiang followed Liu Zhang for an inspection and just walked out of a concentrated building complex. Taking advantage of the gap, she asked Liu Zhang with a smile.
The Sichuan army has unified the world. At this moment, Fan Lixiang, like everyone else, feels extremely relaxed.
"I was extremely irritated because I had been discussing the matter of proclaiming emperor with Yueying all day.I just went out for a walk in the name of inspecting the construction site. Can you stop annoying me? "Liu Zhang said very depressedly.
"Trouble? What's the trouble? Although the etiquette of the new emperor's ascension to the throne is complicated, my lord does not need to worry about it. Alas, I, Fan Lixiang, wandered around with my father as a performer since I was a child. I never thought that one day I would be able to see the new emperor ascend the throne. , and I am also an important minister of the new emperor and the founding father of the country, it is really like a dream."
As Fan Lixiang talked, she became intoxicated. Liu Zhang glanced at her: "What a shame."
??From the very beginning when I met Fan Lixiang, she looked like a fool. Later, in order to hold on to power, she would do anything to hold on to power. When she arrived in Liangzhou, she even sacrificed herself several times to save the people.
Fan Lixiang has changed too much.
Now, there is almost no trace of this intoxicated woman outside Guiyang City.
Liu Zhang knew that everyone in the world might be relaxed now. The common people could finally escape from the suffering of war, soldiers would no longer have to risk their lives on the battlefield, and Wu could finally wait until the day when he became famous.
But the only person in the world who is not relaxed because of the unification of the world may be him, the top coach of the Sichuan Army. If I must add one, it is Huang Yueying.
The day's plan begins in the morning, and the year's plan begins in the spring. The creation of a new dynasty, in the first generation, has to decide too many things.
Liu Zhang, who came from later generations, knew deeply that unifying the world does not end with a king. Governing the world may be more difficult than unifying the world.
What's more, it's the founding of the country. Although the country's name is still Han Dynasty, it is essentially a new dynasty. The official system, economic system, people's livelihood system, and military system at the time of the founding of the country are all matters related to countless generations. A slight deviation will have consequences. serious.
For Liu Zhang, this was undoubtedly a big battle.
"Let's not talk about anything else. I don't know how many people will object to setting the capital in Peking. I have never known how to announce this. Now that the world is unified, it is imminent to become emperor. If we don't announce it, it will be impossible. Alas, it's annoying. It used to be boring to lead the army in battle, but now it's boring to be the emperor."
Fan Lixiang looked at Liu Zhang. She had never thought that a person who was about to become emperor would be like this, so plain and calm. Was it because she was ignorant and had never understood those who were about to become emperor before, or was the person in front of her always like this?
Proclaiming yourself emperor is just a step towards realizing your ideal?
Fan Lixiang smiled and said: "To be honest, I am also opposed to making Peiping the capital. I don't know anything else. It's really cold here."
Fan Lixiang tightened the plush of her collar and shrank her neck as she spoke. She is from the south, and now that she has come to Peiping and faces the first Youzhou winter, she really can't stand it.
Liu Zhang smiled and pulled Fan Lixiang over. Fan Lixiang was startled and quickly moved away: "It's broad daylight, there are so many people behind."
After saying that, Fan Lixiang looked at Liu Zhang, came closer, and said to Liu Zhang, "My lord, I don't care about you becoming emperor. I won't care about anything else, but there is one thing." , you must do it.¡±
"What's up?"
"I accept Lixiang as my concubine." After saying this, Fan Lixiang had a faint blush on her face, but immediately said firmly: "Since Emperor Guangwu, the harem system has been simplified. In addition to the queen, there are four levels in the harem, nobles and beauties. , palace people, picking girls.
Li Xiang knew that she had been a woman before, and that nobles and beauties did not dare to expect anything more than to be a picker. "
Fan Lixiang spoke softer and quieter, and Liu Zhang asked curiously: "What kind of girl?"
Fan Lixiang's heart trembled violently, she glanced at Liu Zhang, and suddenly turned her head away: "Even this can't be done." There was a hint of sadness.
Liu Zhang felt something was wrong and pulled Fan Lixiang over. When he saw her face, he immediately understood. Fan Lixiang thought he didn't want to marry her, but Liu Zhang really didn't expect that a woman like Fan Lixiang would have tears in her eyes.
"Alas, I just don't know what Cainv is, so I asked. Lixiang, I will marry you without you having to tell me. Cainv, you are the same as everyone else. They are all noble concubines."
In Liu Zhang¡¯s impression, he probably remembered the names of the concubines in the harem in ancient times, such as imperial concubine, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, and the twelfth-class concubine. He had never heard of any concubines in the harem, such as concubines.
Listening to the name, it sounds like she is a palace maid or a handyman. Regardless of whether she is, her status must be extremely low.
"You're lying. You clearly did it on purpose. How could you, the king of Shu and a descendant of the royal family, not know how to pick girls?" Fan Lixiang burst into laughter after hearing Liu Zhang's words.
After leading her troops to Peking, Fan Lixiang was really afraid that she would be a general for the rest of her life, because she was Zhao Sheng's wife. When she asked Liu Zhang to accept her, she looked confident, but felt very uneasy in her heart. Now she finally??Reassured.
"But, what is a noble concubine?"
"I also plan to change the name of the harem." Liu Zhang said, I'm really not used to these strange things, so I'd better use the ones I'm familiar with.
Liu Zhang knew that after becoming emperor, a harem was unavoidable. The rate of premature death was extremely high in ancient times. The emperor must continue the royal bloodline, and a harem was also where the emperor's dignity resided.
What Liu Zhang can do is to reduce the size of the harem. A harem of three thousand beauties is fine, but hundreds are unavoidable. Even if he does not agree, the military commanders below will be anxious.
But now these are just minutiae. The founding of the country after proclaiming the emperor is really complicated. First of all, setting the capital in Peking must be settled in a gentle way.
