The battle of Jiangdong Kuaiji is over, the Cheng family, the Hao family, the Zuo family, and even Zhang Zhao and the Zhang family were all ransacked and exterminated by Liu Wei.
Following these big aristocratic families, there are also a group of small gentry, and Liu Mang has received a lot of goods at once.
"I thought that Jiangdong was just a chicken rib, but I didn't expect that there would be so much money from Jiangdong!" Liu Wei was a little unexpected. Among Jiangdong, Liu Wei got a palm of gold, five thousand gold ? Hehe, fifty thousand gold? Still hehe, it was a full five hundred thousand gold.
Liu Mang went to Jingzhou to blackmail, but he only brought back a hundred thousand gold, but he did not expect to get half a million gold from the Jiangdong battle.
With the 500,000 gold, Liu Mang can even expand the plan of the warship cannon.
"Jiangdong has already been taken, let's build two more shipyards in Jiangdong." Liu Wei is very generous. One hand is worth 100,000 gold, and the cost of two large shipyards is equivalent to 200,000.
Xu Shu stood beside him and nodded with a smile.
"Give me another hundred 3,000 cannons." Liu Mang continued to say with a smile.
Xu Shu still stood smiling and nodded.
"The palace also needs to be reorganized. I looked at the palace left by my father-in-law over there. It should be expanded now." Liu Mang was also a little bit complacent. I want to nourish my little life, as long as there is power and power, I am comfortable in any dynasty.
"Yes!" Xu Shu still nodded with a smile.
"Do you want to build some roads?"
"Yes!" Xu Shu continued to smile and nodded.
"How about giving the palace a rest?"
"The common people send out some more surplus food?" Xu Shu nodded with a smile on his face.
"Okay, Yuan Zhi, go and do it!" Liu Mang waved at Xu Shu brazenly. Liu Mang is rich, right? You can't enjoy it by yourself either. Liu Mang is still thinking about those common people, Liu Mang is very proud, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, isn't this the talent that Mingzhu should have.
But Liu Mang hadn't finished his fun yet, Xu Shu at the side stretched out his hand to Liu Mang.
"What's the matter Yuan Zhi?" Liu Mang was a little confused.
"Give me the money!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.
"What money? Isn't there half a million gold over there?" Liu Mang asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, my lord's half a million gold has already been taken away by the household department." Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.
"Mi Zhu took all the five hundred thousand gold?" Liu Mang frowned. The Ministry of Household Affairs was supposed to be a place to increase income and reduce expenditure. Liu Mang was counting on Mi Zhu, Zhao Yun's uncle, to make money for him in Yangzhou. What did he do with half a million gold? Could it be that Mi Zhu has the same idea as in Xuzhou before, using the official money to fill his own pockets, and then sell it for a price.
"The five hundred thousand gold, there is nothing left." Xu Shu said to Liu Mang, and waited for Xu Shu's explanation before Liu Mang realized that it turned out that Mi Zhu took the half a million gold not to fill his own pocket, but to listen to him. Liu Mang ordered it to be used.
The 500,000 gold was all used to buy and sell land. Although there are some families in Jiangdong who seem to be married, the Hao family. Zuo family, these rebellious gentry of Zhang family. But there are also some people who continued to follow Sun Ce, or some gentry who waited and watched, who did not join the ranks of the rebels. For example, families like the Lu family, if they did not participate in Sun Quan's rebellion in Jiangdong, you can't kill them.
The policy implemented by Liu Mang is the land ownership system, so that all the land belongs to the government. But Jiangdong is not Yangzhou. Yangzhou is a barren land. You Liu Mang can do whatever you want. Most of Jiangdong’s land is not under Sun Ce’s command, nor is it in the hands of ordinary people, but in the hands of those Jiangdong gentry. So this becomes a big hassle.
Liu Mang needs to buy those lands back to him. You can't rob it, if you play land grabbing, hehe, then Liu Mang's reputation among the gentry will be completely ruined. Even if all the gentry in the world rebel, he will not surrender Liu Mang.
And the half a million gold seems a lot, but once it is used to buy land, it will be stretched.
"Okay, okay! The matter of the warships can be slowed down!" Liu Mang smiled wryly twice. The warships were not in a hurry to appear, but it was urgent to take back the land in Jiangdong and distribute it to the people. Only the people got the land. , The people's land cannot be annexed, so that the people will support your government.
"But Yuan Zhi, let them train their soldiers and horses diligently, this war may be coming soon." Liu Mang looked at the north with deep eyes, isn't the northern part of Yangzhou the territory of Cao Cao.
…
In the north, in Jizhou.
Cao Cao's army is so powerful that it can be said that it is basically unstoppable. The Yuan brothers and their fathers have not been able to play Cao Cao, and these two prodigal sons are not opponents.
Originally, the combination of the two could compete against Cao Cao, but it seems that this is not the case now. At least there have been more than one wars between the two brothers. Cao Cao easily used two peaches to kill three soldiers. They turned against each other.
Therefore, Cao Cao quickly spread from Yecheng to occupy half of Jizhou, and spread to the whole territory. The Yuan brothers have already begun to retreat to the direction of Liaodong. It was only a matter of time before Cao Cao defeated them.
"Feng Xiao, look, that little boy Liu Mang has already conquered Jiangdong. In this way, Liu Mang has occupied three continents among the nine states in the world. .
He really didn't expect that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, would develop so fast, from living in Lujiang as a guest, to winning Yangzhou against the hostess, and now even Jiangdong has been taken down.
"It's so possible!" Guo Jia has been paying attention to the war in the north, or he just wants to pay attention to the things in the south, but he has more than enough energy, because Guo Jia's condition has worsened, and his face has changed in the past few days. Pale, from the beginning of the battle with the army to now the army is moving forward, Cao Cao sent 800 li to rush to Guo Jia to send the battle report ahead, and then Guo Jia made suggestions to guide the army.
What Guo Jia felt was impossible was because of Sun Ce. That is Jiangdong Xiaobawang. Be a good face. The most aloof person, Liu Mang has taken Lujiang from him and then slowly developed, this Sun Ce will swallow this bad breath.
"Nothing is impossible!" Cao Cao shook his head. This is true, because Liu Mang's letter to Emperor Han to ask for the title of Marquis has already been placed on Cao Cao's desk.
"Zhou Yu!" Cao Cao explained Guo Jia's doubts, because Zhou Yu was seriously injured, seriously ill, and dying. Sun Ce gave up the entire Jiangdong in order to save Zhou Yu. When Cao Cao got this information, he couldn't help sighing. If the parties involved were changed, and Sun Ce was replaced by Cao Cao, and Zhou Yu was replaced by Guo Jia, maybe Cao Cao would do the same.
"My lord, Liu Mang, the King of Shu, takes me for nothing. We have to give him any marquis he wants? Could it be that this big man shares his surname with Liu Mang!" Cheng Yu over there immediately shouted, very angry accurate.
"Hehe!" The Guo family and Cao Cao on the side smiled wryly. Although Cheng Yu spoke angrily, there was one thing he had to admit. The surname of this big man is really Liu, and before this prince has torn his face and tore off the last fig leaf, he really has the surname Liu.
"My lord. Let me tell you, this King of Shu Liu Mang asked him to do what he should do. He dared to ask us for a title and ignored him." The general of Xiahou's family over there said.
This opening represents the thoughts of many military generals. Generals are straightforward people. Whoever makes me unhappy, then I will make you unhappy and call back. Liu Mang made them very upset, and they naturally didn't want to make Liu Mang comfortable, so they persuaded the lord Cao Cao not to send the letter of invitation for Liu Mang's children's shoes.
Cao Cao suddenly asked a general below. "Junyi, what do you think!" There are some generals who don't even know who this Junyi is, but following Cao Cao's gaze, they found this person. He has five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands.
"Ah!" This Jun Yi was taken aback when Cao Cao called his name. Logically speaking, he was just a captain of the commanding army, and there were those miscellaneous generals on his head, and those generals and commanders. It's not Zhang He's turn.
What's more, Zhang Yun is still a general.
That's right, this person is Yuan Shao's general in Hebei, Zhang He and Zhang Junyi. In Yuan Shao's army, this person is called the Four Court Columns of Hebei. His hands have not been reused, only a false name, but after being forced by the second son of the Yuan family to Cao Cao, Cao Cao is very eager to see this Zhang He, and asks Zhang He some questions from time to time, even though Zhang He is here Yuan Shao's commander is the heavy armored cavalry, but after surrendering Cao Cao, he should go to the mixed infantry, but Cao Cao still let this person continue to command the original heavy armored troops, which can be seen.
Zhang Xi doesn't want to be as rough as some other generals, but has a delicate feeling. If he has to use one word to describe it, it is the little boy who these big men always say. With a sour taste.
Zhang He's Baizhi face brought him a lot of trouble, Cao Cao didn't ask about it, Zhang He's face turned red, if he dressed up a little more, he would be a beautiful girl.
"Sissy!" Sure enough, some elders were jealous and shouted in private.
Zhang Xi is a little annoyed, he is a bit more beautiful but there is something wrong, since you are jealous of my appearance, then let you be even more jealous, it is precisely because of my appearance that Zhang Hu wants to be more and more capable Prove yourself, prove that you are not a person who relies on your face to eat.
"My lord, He thinks that not only should we not limit the letter of invitation from the King of Shu, Liu Mang, but we should go all out to help Liu Mang succeed in obtaining the title." Zhang He said to Cao Cao, who was in charge on the stage.
"Oh?" Cao Cao was puzzled.
"Sure enough, he is a white-faced scholar. He doesn't need children. He just said casually that there is no place for two tigers on this mountain. The king of Shu, Liu Mang, disobeyed the emperor's order and occupied Yangzhou, and now he has occupied Jiangdong. It is a hidden danger for me. I will stop him immediately. Otherwise, sooner or later it will be a disaster for the prime minister, how can I help this person get a title!" Someone from Cao Cao's army general said.
"Are you going to fight for a mere title? A title is rich and prosperous, but in the hands of the prime minister, it is nothing more than a letter. The high-ranking ones attack the plotters. The middle-ranking ones attack the diplomatic relations. The low-ranking ones attack the soldiers." Zhang Yun retorted. He is not inferior in the slightest, over there someone scolded him as a child without a need, but here Zhang Xi mocked him as a low-ranking person.
"You!" The person who was scolded almost jumped out to fight Zhang Xi.
"Okay, shut up!" Cao Cao also frowned. In the final analysis, this contradiction was the disaster he left behind, which led to the discord between the generals of the original Yanzhou department and the generals of the Hebei department.
It's also his fault that Cao Cao loves talents too much, so people like Zhang He who surrendered are all focused on it.
For example, although Zhang He is only a mere lieutenant in the commanding army, he has fought more battles than the Xiahou brothers in Hebei. In which battle is there no figure of Zhang He's soldiers and horses? Even Cao Cao's relatives of Xiahou's family are jealous.
If this Zhang Yun is an idiot, the generals may not have any ideas yet. Even if Cao Cao takes a fancy to you, there is nothing you can do if you are useless.
But this Zhang Yun is really a talent. Cao Cao allowed Zhang Yun to over-fulfill the tasks. In this way, the credit that originally belonged to them was gone, and this Zhang Yun also took other credits by the way. With Zhang Yun, you What to do with other brothers.
Cao Cao knew that if he continued to ask, the old-school generals in Yanzhou would definitely quarrel with the generals in Hebei, and it would be difficult to deal with it at that time. They can only play 50 big boards each.
Since the generals can't ask, then ask the civil servants.
"What do you think of Fengxiao?" Cao Cao trusted Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao the most. Although Guo Jia was seriously ill, Cao Cao still subconsciously asked Guo Jia.
"My lord, Jia and General Zhang Yun have the same idea. This king of Shu, Liu Mang, not only needs to give the letter of invitation, but also give it quickly and quickly. There is no way to give Liu Mang an excuse to march into the Central Plains and annoy my belly in Yanzhou. You must stabilize yourself first, and when I calm down the north, I will have a showdown with that Liu Mang!" Guo Jia's idea was to give Liu Mang, the King of Shu, the benefit first, and stabilize him, only by stabilizing him , then there is no problem, let Liu Mang think that we are afraid, wait for the war in the north to be completed, and then send the army back to the division to start a war with Liu Mang.
"Stop this person first?" Cao Cao frowned, this is a bit unsafe, Cao Cao's troops in Yanzhou are less than 100,000, and there are many elites among them, but Cao Cao is still worried, because Liu Mang's troops Although it is more than 100,000, the combat power is not weak at all. I'm afraid that the letter of invitation alone can't impress Liu Mang.
"My lord, why don't you give Yangzhou Mu and Jiaozhou Mu to Liu Mang, the King of Shu?" Guo Jia's capital is a bit high, so it can be justified. Jiaozhou and Yangzhou got these two official positions. Mang is the embodiment of justice, otherwise, in the final analysis, he would temporarily take the post of Yangzhou Jiaozhou as the king of Shu.
"Everyone in Yangzhou and Yuzhou should withdraw their troops and horses to guard against Yanzhou and the generation of Qingzhou!" Guo Jia continued.
"Xuzhou? Why!" Some generals over there were unconvinced, but Yuzhou was okay to say, after all, Cao Cao only had three or two cities in Yuzhou, and Cao Cao left soldiers and horses in Yuzhou to disgust Liu Mang, the king of Shu, but this Xuzhou It's different now, Liu Wei only occupies half of Xuzhou, and the other half is in Cao Cao's hands. This Xuzhou was really fought step by step by Cao Cao's Yanzhou generals relying on blood. Now you can directly As soon as he opened his mouth, he was about to give it away. Can these generals not be in a hurry.
What's more, the lord lost his brother Cao Chun in Xuzhou.
"Although the city is lost, Xuzhou is not lost!" Guo Jia shook his head and said to the generals under him. Guo Jia chose to withdraw his troops from Xuzhou, that is to leave a buffer zone with Yangzhou. Now Liu Mang has swallowed Jiangdong and is about to digest it. It's over, once the digestion is complete, then naturally the next target will be Jingzhou or Xudu.
Guo Jia’s purpose is to exchange space for time, throw Xuzhou to you, let you digest it for a while, wait for you to digest Xuzhou, and our north will be calmed down, so I can spit out whatever you eat. So the Guo family only gave Xuzhou the city but not the official position of Xuzhou Mu. Having said this, the generals of Xudu nodded.
"What if the king of Shu Liu Mang is greedy?" Someone asked, if the king of Shu Liu Mang didn't like the city of Xuzhou directly, or if the city wanted Yanzhou to fight.
"Then it depends on whether he is stronger than Liu Mang or my 100,000 troops!" The generals remembered that Cao Cao also left 100,000 troops in Yanzhou, commanded by Cao Ren.
"My lord, where is Gongsun Du in Liaodong? Did my lord send someone there?" Guo Jia asked Cao Cao over there.
"Don't worry, Feng Xiao. I've already sent an envoy. This letter will probably be on Gongsun Du's table in a few days!" Cao Cao nodded. Contacting Gongsun Du was Guo Jia's plan.
"That's good! My lord should discuss with that Gongsundu as soon as possible. I'm not afraid that Gongsundu has a big appetite, but I'm afraid he has no appetite. We have to hurry up and take down the second brother of the Yuan family, so that we can move to the Central Plains." Guo Jia's thoughts had already begun. It was used, that is, in front of Yuan Shao's army in the north, Cao Cao also sent troops to Xuzhou to suppress Liu Bei, and the fight was just a time difference. Let Yuan Shao react and suppress Cao Cao and restore Xuzhou. Now Guo Jia regards Liu Mang as Yuan Shao, and the two brothers of the Yuan family are just like Liu Bei.
How good it would be to have another battle at Guandu.
"My lord, what if his Gongsun Duwei is too big to lose?" Someone frowned, what he was afraid of was that after the Yuan family brothers were wiped out, there would be another Gongsun family in the north, and that would be bad.
"Don't worry, this Gongsun Du is still knowledgeable about current affairs. If you don't, just bring him to destroy together!" Guo Jia said in a cold voice. Those who could be targeted by the Guo family's Guo Junshi did not end well.
"That's what Feng Xiao said!" Cao Cao said to Guo Jia, and everyone below had no objection.
"Feng Xiao. Do you have any research on Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou?" Cao Cao suddenly asked about the Guo family over there.
"En?" Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Cao Cao suspiciously. How did Cao Cao ask this question? Cao Cao handed another letter to Guo Jia, and Guo Jia saw that it was written that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, had recommended such a person as Emperor Han's companion, and this person was Sun Quan.
"Send Sun Quan to Xudu?" Guo Jia also frowned. Who is Sun Quan? It's just that Sun Quan recited a little bit, but he didn't succeed. This man is a man who knows current affairs, or he has purple hair and blue eyes, and a scheming man.
"This man is talented!" Guo Jia knew about Sun Quan, and if Sun Quan calmed down, it would be terrifying.
"Then why did this Liu Mang recommend Xudu to come?"
"But it's troublesome!" Guo Jia thought for a while and spoke to Cao Cao with a wry smile. Sun Quan was ambitious, Han Emperor Liu Xie was not small, and Han Emperor's other companion, Cao Pi, was not a good person to get along with. ah.
Sun Quan wanted to make great achievements and compete in the world. Liu Xie wanted to suppress Cao Cao and revert to himself, and the other second son Cao Pi and Cao Cao encouraged his father Cao Cao to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor all the time, so that he could inherit the great rule.
Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao with a wry smile. He wanted to explain to Cao Cao, but he didn't know how to say it. Could it be that your son wants you to join the court? Does your son want to be emperor? Or do all three of them want to be in that position
…
"Cao Cao is so kind?" During the Yangzhou Shouchun, the monarchs and ministers in Yangzhou were also plotting against the group of people in the north.
Liu Mang held the imperial decree in his hand. It was written that Liu Mang asked Zhou Yu to invite Sun Jian and others. Not only did the above agree, Cao Cao even gave Liu Mang two blank tattoos, and the two big seals on the side were shining on the table. Shenghui, one is the seal of Yangzhou Mu, and the other is the seal of Jiaozhou Mu. Cao Cao was so easy to talk about above.
"Report, report to the lord, a letter from Chen Deng, the governor of Guangling!" The messenger rushed in to bring Liu Mang the news of Chen Deng of Guangling.
Liu Wei looked over, except for the resistance occupied by Liu Wei in Xuzhou, all the other cities and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were retreating, and the direction of their retreat was Yanzhou. Now the original cities of Cao Cao's army are all empty and have become unclaimed land.
Chen Deng couldn't make up his mind, so he sent a message like Shouchun.
"My lord Yuzhou also sent a letter saying that several cities occupied by Cao's army in Yuzhou are also empty." A general beside him said to Liu Mang.
Cao Cao sent the title of title, the official position of state shepherd, and Cao Cao in Xuzhou retreated. What is this Cao Cao playing? Could it be that Cao Cao's conscience found out that he wanted to engage in charity, and Xuzhou over there made it clear that he would give it to Liu Wei!
If Liu Mang swallows this half of Xuzhou again, then Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and more than half of Yuzhou can be said to have influenced the land of three continents, almost four states, and the world is only nine points, accounting for four, almost half.
