There was a lot of discussion in the Jincheng court, and all the princes felt that they should sever ties with Soochow in order to demonstrate justice.
Adou, who was sitting on the throne, was also a little wavering.
In the past few years, while the Han Dynasty was recuperating and recuperating, it also put down the rebellion in the south.
Compared with when he first came to the throne, the country's power has become stronger and stronger. Although the people's corvee labor is a bit too many, every household can have enough to eat all year round and no longer needs to go hungry.
In today's world, if the people do not have to go hungry, and the government can be fair and honest, and act in accordance with the law, so that the wealthy families do not dare to take plunder at will, where else can there be except the great Han?
Not to mention that Hanzhong and Yuexun also opened special schools so that children from Cangtou, Guizhou Province, could also have the opportunity to attend school.
Just to mention this matter, this is something that can only happen if the Mingjun and the Holy Lord are alive and culture and education are prosperous.
Therefore, there are few people in the Han Dynasty who complain.
Coupled with the great victory at Longyou, it greatly inspired the hearts of the Han scholars and the people.
In this case, the statement "With the strength of a big man, it may not be impossible to beg thieves, so why beg from Soochow" does make many people think it is reasonable.
In this kind of discussion atmosphere, even the honest boy Adou became a little arrogant: All the gentlemen said this, I guess they are not wrong.
Ming Jun Holy Master, you really need to pay attention to the opinions of everyone.
Of course, the most important thing is to listen to your father’s opinion.
It's just that for such a big matter, my father-in-law is far away in Hanzhong, so at this time, I can only let the princes of the court discuss it first.
Then the results of the court meeting were sent to Hanzhong for the Prime Minister to review, so that the Prime Minister could also know what the opinions of the princes in the court were.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a person who no one expected stood up and published a book "Refuting Duanjue and Wu Mengyueshu".
"The speaker today said that Sun Quan was determined to stay at the foot of the tripod and did not want to advance northward. This statement is specious and false, but it is actually deceiving Your Majesty. Why?
Soochow Wu did not want to advance north, but it was actually because of its lack of intelligence, so it relied on the river to protect itself. In the past, Sun Quan took advantage of the victory at Chibi and attacked Hefei from the north but could not defeat it.
In the 20th year of Jian'an, after Sun Quan negotiated with the late emperor to divide Jingzhou peacefully, he personally led a large army to attack Hefei, but was defeated by Wei general Zhang Liao with 800 cavalry.
In the fourth year of Jianxing, the leader of the bandits, Cao Pi, died. Sun Quan took the opportunity to lead an army to attack Jiangxia, but failed and returned without success. Therefore, it was said that he had insufficient intelligence to cross the river, and he did not want to go to the north bank.
In the past, the late emperor wanted to reject Cao Cao's traitors in the north, and wanted to swallow Sun Quan in the east. In the end, he hated Yong'an. The shame of Yiling is still vivid in his mind.
How do your majesty's literary talents and military strategies compare with those of the previous emperor? Can the current civil and military affairs of the Han Dynasty be used as advisors and generals under the former emperor?
If not, how can we say that we can cut off the good relationship between Han and Wu? Therefore, I think it is not appropriate to expose Sun Quan's crime of arrogance at this time."
After finishing reading, A Dou was shocked. It was like a basin of cold water was poured on his head. His mind, which had just been swollen, suddenly cooled down.
Think about how talented the late emperor was, and how many counselors and brave generals he had. He still had the hatred of Yong'an, how could he return to his own life?
Just seeing the name of the owner of this memorial, Adou couldn't help but frown: "Li Ping?"
Li Ping, the former Governor of Jiangzhou and the Central Protector-General who nominally unified the Chinese and foreign military forces, finally returned to Jincheng, changed his name to Li Ping, and wrote a memorial to oppose the alliance proposed by most people to eliminate Wu.
As soon as Li Ping sent this memorial, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The princes in the DPRK may not be ignorant of the disadvantages of severing the alliance with Soochow.
But political correctness is always correct, and the correct line may not always be correct.
Anyway, it is absolutely politically correct to shout against Soochow's proclaimed emperor, not to mention that the line may still be correct?
So how did everyone choose? It was just natural. I didn’t see that the chief minister of the prime minister’s residence, Shi and joining the army, didn’t say anything?
Li Ping, on the other hand, dared to be the first to say such words, which is really eye-catching.
I heard someone sneer: "If Sun Quan proclaims himself emperor and the Han Dynasty reprimands him for overstepping his bounds, wouldn't it be appropriate for Zhongduhu to stay in Jiangzhou and oversee the military to prevent Soochow from moving to the west?"
Anyway, it is not a secret that the prime minister wants to abolish the governor of Jiangzhou, but Li Ping has been delaying staying in Jiangzhou, so this has been delayed.
This approach naturally made many people in the DPRK angry.
Coupled with their trust in the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, there are many people who believe that Li Ping has lost power. Some people make sarcastic remarks, which is most normal.
Li Ping looked at the people sitting there and said calmly: "Do you want to argue with a certain court?"
As the Protector of the Central Government, he had been the second-ranking minister of the Han Dynasty before he fell. Even the emperor had to treat him with courtesy.
Xu Ci sat in his original position and stood up, "Why not? In the past, when the general attacked Xiangfan, Wanluo was shaken, and Cao Cao was almost tempted to move the capital. If Sun Quan was determined to go north, why would he attack Jingzhou from behind?"
This question made Li Ping, who was trying to put on a show, almost lose his temper and wanted to beat the old man to death on the spot.
What kind of question do you want me to answer you for?
Do you want me to say that there is something wrong with Guan Yu?
So he flicked his sleeves and looked up, deliberately not looking at Xu Ci: "The loss of Jingzhou has been concluded for a long time. What did the princes say back then? Do you want to point it out one by one?"
He saluted Adou who was sitting at the top: "Your Majesty, if you know that I have sinned against you, only your spring and autumn, a certain public spirit, can be used by heaven and earth."
There was a slight roar of laughter in the court hall.
Li Ping dares to say that he has a public heart?
At that time, he was appointed as the prefect of Qianwei, and he was able to force Yueqi Xiaowei (Yang Hong) to withdraw.
After becoming the governor of Jiangzhou, he forced Wang Chong, the Yamen general, to surrender to the Wei people, and also leaked the Han's Quyuan plow to the Wei state.
Not to mention what he has done in the past two years, if he is really public-minded, then who is Yueqi Xiaowei, who is loyal to the Qing Dynasty and cares about his family as much as he cares about his family?
This roar of laughter made Li Ping's face look extremely ugly.
He thinks so highly of himself that even those with equal status to him rarely interact with him. Only the prime minister can write to him.
Now that he was in danger of losing his position, he had to endure such humiliation. His chest was heaving and he was extremely angry.
He felt a rush of blood rush to his forehead and was about to rebuke loudly.
At this time, it was Yang Hong who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Sun Quan's arrogance of proclaiming himself emperor is a great treason."
"But even if the Han Dynasty pacifies Longyou now, it will only have the land of four counties, which is only a drop in the bucket compared to the land of Cao Cao's ten states."
"If we were to annihilate the alliance of Soochow, we would use the four counties and one state of the Han Dynasty to fight against the twelve states of Wu, the thief of Cao Cao. Therefore, I believe that what the Central Protector said is indeed true."
Yang Hong stood up to support Li Ping, which was beyond everyone's expectation.
Adou respected Yang Hong. During his father-in-law's Northern Expedition, Li Ping had some unusual movements in Jiangzhou. It was Yang Hong who was seriously ill and offered advice to Adou, which made him feel at ease.
If it were someone else who agreed with Li Ping, Adou would have suspected there was some collusion.
But Yang Hong agrees with Li Ping's words, which means that Li Ping's words do have some truth.
…
People in the Xinghan Society were relieved to learn that the Central Protector Li Ping was the first to stand up against the alliance with Wu Jue.
Even if they don't have to go to court, they know that severing an alliance with Wu is possible in theory, but it is not easy to actually do it.
As those who contributed a lot during the Northern Expedition, they clearly knew how difficult it was to supply food and grass to the Northern Expedition army last year.
Just the Yunnan horses used by Dongfeng Express lost a lot last year.
If it weren't for the rapid growth of Yunnan horses, which can start carrying most of the horse's weight in one and a half years, the new horses produced by Yuexun Ranch may not be able to fill the gap.
In addition, there are many Qiang and Di tribes in Hanjia County to the north of Yuexun, which keeps Dongfeng express transportation flowing smoothly.
Therefore, everyone in the Xinghan Society finally understood what Li Yi said that day.
In the seventh year of Jianxing's reign, Li Ping responded to the imperial court's order and returned to Jincheng to take charge of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At the same time, due to the movement of Cao's bandits in Guanzhong in the north, Li Feng led 20,000 Jiangzhou troops north to support Hanzhong.
At the same time, Xiang Chong was appointed governor of Bajun and governed Jiangzhou.
Chen was appointed as the governor of Yong'an and the prefect of Badong to govern Yong'an.
The sudden movements of Cao's thieves in Guanzhong forced even the Jiangzhou soldiers to move northward, suppressing the voice of exterminating the Soochow alliance.
The Prime Minister's mobilization of the Han troops has already vaguely expressed an attitude.
Sure enough, the memorial from the Prime Minister's Office in Hanzhong was quickly delivered to Jincheng.
Li Ping not only agreed with Li Ping's statement, but also pointed out:
If we break the alliance with Soochow, we will become enemies with Soochow. At that time, the Han Dynasty will definitely increase its troops to the south to stalemate Soochow. This will only allow the northern thieves to get their hands on the plan, and it is not a wise choice.
The two auxiliary ministers of the Han Dynasty had an extremely rare consensus of opinion, and finally overwhelmed all objections.
The dramatic reversal caught people off guard.
Although this change is like seeing flowers in the smoke and is very unpredictable, Li Ping handed over the military power in his hands, indicating that the dispute between the two auxiliary ministers has finally come to an end.
The results were expected, but also somewhat unexpected.
Li Feng led 20,000 Jiangzhou troops to reinforce Hanzhong, which greatly enhanced the military power that the Prime Minister's Office in Hanzhong could mobilize.
Because some of the 20,000 Jiangzhou soldiers were handed over to Li Ping by the late emperor before his death, they were rare elite soldiers.
Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, transferred Li Feng to the Prime Minister's Mansion as military counselor.
The turmoil in Shu did not affect Feng Yong.
In Longyou in June, there was no large-scale locust plague that Xu Erniang was worried about.
The Hu people believe in the God of Heaven, the God of Mountains, and the God of Sheep, but they do not seem to believe in the God of Locusts.
Colonel Feng gave an order, not only to irrigate the land with more water before the locusts came out, but also to cull the locusts after they came out before they could fly.
Duan Muzhe, the dog manager, transferred many good dogs from Nanxiang and opened a dog farm in Pingxiang to guard the chickens and ducks day and night.
Li Tong took the people assigned to him to hatch and breed the chickens and ducks that had been raised for half a year, so that they could freely roam around the mountains and fields.
Although a lot of them were snatched away by wild foxes, weasels and the like, and there was a lot of damage, as long as the locust plague can be stopped, it is worth it.
The benefits of using school students and Nanxiang soldiers from Nanxiang for grassroots officials are shown.
The execution ability is extremely high. As soon as the official document is issued, coupled with the inspection team sent to the local area, and the Hu people's land under the jurisdiction of the Qiang Colonel, everyone starts to move.
If you don’t want your grassland to be gnawed away by locusts this year, just follow the government’s instructions!
If you don’t want to starve to death when the White Disaster comes this year, just do what the government says!
It makes no sense to get whipped if you don't do it.
Anyway, Feng Junhou is the descendant of the mountain god, so his words must be right.
Compared with the rule of the Colonel Protecting Qiang, under the rule of the Longyou Dudufu, there was a small area of locust plague.
Although Feng Yong has reminded this matter, some things cannot be avoided if you know they will happen.
Doubts, slow efficiency, even resistance from local elders, and so on.
It would be great to cull locusts when they appear, but do you want to control them before they appear?
Thinking too much.
Who would believe that there is no trace?
Even if you believe it, you don’t get money or food to do this kind of thing?
Who will pay for this money and food?
Therefore, the emergence of locust plague is inevitable.
Longyou says it's not big, it's not small.
Now Mr. Zhao led the army to inspect Xiaoguan. Feng Yong received Deng Zhi's request for help, so he sent Li Tong and people from the breeding farm to drive a group of chickens and ducks there.
In fact, these are all small things.
The real big event is still the battle between the Han Dynasty and the Cao bandits in Longyou and Guanzhong for the pass.
Wei Yan led his army along the Chencang Road, exited Dashan Pass, and saw Chencang who was waiting in full formation.
Chencang City is small and strong, blocking the exit of Chencang Road, and the terrain is narrow, making it difficult to attack the city.
In addition, Cao Zhen knew that the Xiegu Road was impassable and that if the Han Dynasty wanted to leave the Pass from Hanzhong, they would have to go through Chencang. Therefore, after the Battle of Longyou, he worked hard to build the city.
Although the prime minister just asked Wei Yan to test it out, there was no need to actually attack the city.
However, Wei Yan was very eager to achieve success. He originally planned to attack Chen Cang if he was really unprepared, so as to frighten the Cao thieves.
Unexpectedly, after attacking several times, they all retreated without success.
Coupled with the fact that Zhuge Qiao, who had joined the army, was advising him, Wei Yan had no choice but to grit his teeth and retreat bitterly.
When the Han army appeared at the gate of Chencang City, Cao Zhen, who was guarding Chang'an, was shocked and personally led his army to reinforce.
At the same time, I heard that the opponent was led by the Han general Wei Yan, and I was still lucky. If I had a chance to intercept this Han army, I would be able to wash away the shame of last year.
Unexpectedly, Wei Yan retreated just as quickly as he came. Cao Zhen couldn't help but pause and sigh: "The Shu captives are so cowardly!"
The news of Wei Yan's defeat at Chencang reached Feng Yong, which made the broad-minded Feng Junhou gloat: "This old man Wei, how could you embarrass me back then!"
Guan Ji on the opposite side heard his words and threw a card: "touch!"
Then she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Alang is now a prince after all. In terms of position, he is not inferior to General Wei. He should work together to destroy the thieves. If someone had listened to what he said just now, I'm afraid he would have said
Alang is narrow-minded."
It was Zhang Xingyi's turn to draw the card. His big eyes narrowed, and it seemed that he had picked up a good card.
Then throw out a second barrel.
Feng Yong made a "tsk" sound and glanced at her angrily.
Zhang Xingyi held her head high, with a proud smile, and the expression on her face seemed to say, "Look at me, I won't let you eat!"
"There is a saying in my school," Feng Yong hummed. "The right way is not to bully young people who are poor. Twenty years to the east of the river, twenty years to the west of the river. When he bullied me back then, did he ever think of today?"
If he could talk to him properly and build a good relationship back then, who knows, he would still have an engineering battalion belonging to the Qiang Xiaowei Mansion on his hands now.
Amei picked up a card carefully, looked at Feng Yong first, then at Guan Ji, and hesitated.
"Hurry up."
Zhang Xingyi was anxious, and it was obvious that she was almost confused.
Amei's hand trembled and she threw out a card.
"Confused!"
Guan Ji quickly caught him.
Feng Yong and Zhang Xingyi both glared at Amei: "How many are these?"
This girl fed her mistress so comfortably that she definitely did it on purpose!
