The first day of April in the 16th year of Jian'an.
In the bloody sunset, the Blood Banner Army and Sun Wu Army captured Youzhou, completely removing the last nail in Cao Cao's power.
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty completely ended the largest military group in the north with his supreme power to dominate the world, and the leader Cao Cao also committed suicide on the city wall during the Battle of Youzhou. It was not that Cao Cao wanted to die, but that he knew he had to die.
Because Liu Xie had already revealed his identity, how could Liu Xie be spared from the resentment in his heart after many years of imprisonment? Rather than being captured and humiliated, it would be better to be a bachelor.
Once Cao Cao died, a new situation was created. The powerful Blood Banner Army looked at the eagle, and the entire Chinese territory trembled under its claws. Sun Wu, who was also an ally, was no exception.
The current situation is that Sun Wu occupies the entire Jiangdong, as well as Shouchun, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou areas. And all the rest of the places are the territory of the Blood Banner Army.
The most important thing is Liu Xie's identity.
For so many years, the princes have divided their power and fought one after another. What is the purpose? Isn't it just to find a force for yourself in this chaotic situation in the world? Who doesn't want to be emperor? But he doesn't have the strength to crush everything.
Who had dared to proclaim himself emperor before? Cao Cao had no such courage when he dominated the north.
It’s not fair to say that it’s not right!
But this kind of problem does not pose any problem to Liu Xie, because he is the emperor himself, the legitimate boss of the Han Empire! Now parts of the north and south are in the hands of Liu Xie, and only Sun Wu is left to unify the country.
The territory was occupied. The Blood Banner Army's 150,000 troops were stationed fifty miles away from Sun Wu's three strategic locations. They did not take action directly. They were waiting for Sun Wu to choose.
Should we fight to the death and fight again, or should we put down our weapons and accept the reorganization of the empire?
Where to go, this burden rests entirely on Sun Quan's shoulders. Of course, there are also the life and death fate of hundreds of thousands of Sun and Wu soldiers.
Finally, in order to avoid causing more casualties and to allow Sun Quan to see the situation clearly and add fuel to his fire, Liu Xie ordered Zhuge Liang, who was relatively familiar with Sun Wu, to send an envoy to Sun Wu and tell Sun Quan all kinds of things in person.
Let me explain it to Sun Quan. I also brought a long letter written by Liu Xie to Sun Quan.
Three days later, on the eighth day of May in the sixteenth year of Jian'an, Sun Wu began to accept the reorganization of the Blood Banner Army. After that, Sun Quan went to Chang'an in person and handed over to Liu Xie the roster of the people in the territory and a detailed description of the organization, and also brought a letter "
Letter of Praying for Your Majesty to Re-Accend to the Throne", requesting Liu Xie to re-assume the throne.
The sedan chair was carried by everyone. Since Sun Quan was determined to return to orthodoxy, Sun Quan didn't mind adding another icing on the cake.
Under Zhuge Liang's operation, Sun Quan surrendered to orthodoxy, and Jiangdong returned to the embrace of the empire. Then the letter "Praying for Your Majesty to Re-Ascend to the Throne" was also posted in towns and cities. For a time, there was a wave of calls for peace and for the Han Empire to re-lead everyone.
Higher than a wave.
In response to this popular sentiment, Liu Xie held a coronation ceremony in Chang'an on the first day of October in the 16th year of Jian'an, and returned to the throne of the Han Emperor. He continued to use the previous title and was called the Emperor of Great Virtue and Infinite Martial Arts. His reign name was Xing Han
.
In the first year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie began to promote two-crop rice nationwide. He also bluntly said that this kind of rice was a gift from the god Yama, and those who benefited from it should remember it in their hearts.
Two-crop rice is a thing that saves lives. Suddenly, the whole country was like a Buddha, and it was so grateful that it shed tears of gratitude.
They were all born in Kuhaha, and they all survived the war. Who has never been hungry? Many people have experienced the tragedy of family members starving to death. Now it’s better. His great Majesty not only ended the war, but also prayed for peace from the gods.
Good food for survival. How great a merit is this?
No! We must set up an immortal tablet for His Majesty. And that god must be enshrined in the cleanest place in the house. Don’t be slow to worship in the morning and evening.
For a time, painters and stone carving craftsmen across the country were overwhelmed. Every household begged the craftsmen to ask for help, and volunteered to be able to provide His Majesty's longevity tablets and statues of gods earlier.
These were all spontaneous. No one was secretly leading at all. And soon, legends about gods spread like wildfire. They said that they were true gods! Miracles often appeared! Don’t believe it? I’m telling you the truth and go home by yourself.
Offer it to me, and if you sincerely pay homage to it sooner or later, you will know whether it is good or bad.
This is how faith came. And it was out of control as soon as it started. Following the two-crop rice, it quickly swept through the entire new Han Empire, and even radiated to the surrounding areas along with the opened foreign trade routes.
The idea of foreigners is very simple. Since it is a god, it cannot only bless you Han people, right? As a result, a businessman asked for a statue. As soon as he paid homage, he immediately joined the team of believers.
In the third year of the Han Dynasty, the largest gilded statue in the country was erected in the "Yam Luo Pagoda" in Chang'an. At the same time, Liu Xie led hundreds of civil and military officials to worship in the tower, and announced on the spot that he would designate the god Yama as the god of national protection, and share the national destiny with the Han Empire.
.
That night, Liu Xie, who was correcting memorials in the royal study, unexpectedly discovered that there was an extra person in the room. He looked up and found that it was Lord Yama whom he had not seen for several years. Oh no, Liu Xie also wanted to call Lord Yama now.
"Very good. Unifying the country, developing domestic demand, and recuperating are the basic concepts that a wise ruler should uphold. However, I am here today to give you a few more things, and I also have a list that I need you to collect for me."
Xue Wusuan sat on the chair with a smile, looking at the emperor who was rescued from Xu Capital City and sent to the current ninety-five throne step by step. As he spoke, he took a few things and put them on the table in front of him.
On the case.
Liu Xie knelt down respectfully, and then went to see what Yama brought to him this time.
The first thing to open was a map. It was colorful and huge, with an area of about one foot. All the mountains, rivers and rivers could be seen on it. It was extremely clear. But what kind of map was this? Why was only a small area in the middle red, and only this one?
The local Liu Xie looked familiar and instantly remembered that this was the territory of the Han Empire in his hands.
Looking at the "World Overview Map" on the top of this huge map, everything becomes clear. It turns out that this map is the entire world.
"Your Majesty, why do I only have such a small piece of land?" Liu Xie was very dissatisfied that such a powerful empire only occupied such a small piece of land.
Xue Wusuan laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "You think it's too small? Don't you have a deer knife in your hand? Don't you know how to cut it yourself if you like it?"
"I see, Liu Xie has learned a lesson!"
At this time, Liu Xie's eyes shone brightly. He had now re-established the Han Dynasty and helped the country. But as an emperor who established a country by force, how could he be satisfied with this? Hunting the world is what he prefers to do.
"Volume 1 of Navigation Technology", "Primitive Chapter of Mining and Smelting Technology", "Primitive Thermal Weapon Principles and Prevention Theory", "Strategy and Discussion of Economic Warfare".
In addition to the map, there are four books. The names alone made Liu Xie tremble all over, as if he had lost his ability to speak. He was babbling and unable to speak a complete sentence.
