Dong Zhuo led the knights and escorted King Chen into the country of Zhi. After hearing King Chen's order, the soldiers of the country immediately gave up all hostile actions, opened the city gates, and welcomed the Han army. King Chen was majestic. Looking at his people, he lamented helplessly in his heart. He had already prepared in his heart that this might be his last tour of the country.
Zhang Wen did not follow Dong Zhuo to Zhiguo. He believed that after the Han army entered Zhiguo, he would no longer have to worry about the situation here. Nothing can solve problems better than swords. With Dong Zhuo here, he will definitely be able to complete his mission. He ordered the Mahan generals to lead the way and launched an attack on many small countries in Erhan. In order to eliminate the Mahan, they mobilized all their soldiers.
These small countries did not have any resistance. Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song went all the way, and under the banner of King Chen, they easily defeated one small country after another without encountering any resistance. It can even be said that many local kings They all welcomed them very happily. King Chen's flag was still very useful. The position of Erhan was more important. Zhang Wen had already made up his mind to directly rule these two areas.
King Chen, on the other hand, hurriedly entered the palace.
The prince was naked, carrying a thorn stick, and was kneeling at the palace gate, waiting for his father's return. King Chen and Dong Zhuo entered the palace and saw the prince kneeling at the gate. King Chen felt a pain in his heart, but he wrinkled up. He raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Now that you think about standing on a bush to plead guilty? The Taiwei persuaded you with good words, why do you say such arrogant words?"
The Crown Prince raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and bowed to King Chen, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Come here! Take it with me!" King Chen shouted. Dong Zhuo stepped forward quickly, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, wait a minute. The prince is young after all. It is a mistake of ignorance. Why do you do this?"
When King Chen heard Dong Zhuo's persuasion, he pursed his lips and was speechless. Dong Zhuo smiled and helped the prince up, saying: "I am the general of the Han Dynasty who protects the Huns. I am called Dong Zhuo. I am a close friend of the king. You Get up first..." The prince looked at Dong Zhuo curiously. King Chen frowned and said, "This is your uncle!"
The prince raised his hands in salute, but said nothing.
King Chen ignored him and directly sent an order to the ministers to go to court.
The ministers who were originally worried about the destruction of the city and the destruction of the country were not too happy after the Han defeated the enemy, because they did not know the true intention of the Han's advance, and they did not know whether the current King Chen was still the same as before. King Chen, mainly because they were worried that King Chen had been coerced and had become a puppet of the Han Dynasty. When they walked into the temple worriedly.
Then they saw King Chen sitting on the throne. King Chen looked neatly dressed and energetic, without any trace of being persecuted. This made the ministers feel a little at ease. The ministers bowed to him one after another. King Chen nodded and frowned. He frowned and said: "I just went to see the Taiwei. In just a few months, the rebels became so rampant that they almost caused Ma Han to fall!"
"Is this how you run the country?"
King Chen said angrily that he changed the matter of being coerced to leave to paying a visit. The ministers apologized one after another, and King Chen just said: "Fortunately, the big man ignored the past and was willing to help, which saved us from the danger of national subjugation. However, , the two Koreas cannot tolerate their crimes, and the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are already attacking the countries of the two Koreas. From now on, the two Koreas will no longer have kings, and they will be governed by each other."
This so-called prime minister is naturally the prefect sent by the Han Dynasty.
The ministers roughly understood in their hearts the price that the Han had to pay for sending troops this time. They thought for a moment and wanted to object, but they did not have any strength to resist the Han. Moreover, King Chen had already issued an order, so they could only accept it.
The king ordered Ma Han's soldiers to pacify the surrounding counties, and asked Dong Zhuo to send troops to maintain public order.
Dong Zhuo repeatedly declined, but finally had no choice but to accept, and the Han army was officially stationed in Mahahan to take charge of public security.
However, Zhang Wen only passed through for less than half a month and forcibly conquered the two Korean countries by force. After doing all this, he did not return to the branch country, but led a small group of troops to surround the entire Three Han region.
After working hard for another half month, he returned to Youzhou and hurriedly reported to the court that he had controlled the Sanhan area, and handed over a detailed map, waiting for the emperor's edict.
After taking control of the three Koreas by force, it was natural to formulate officials, prefectures and counties. Of course, these must be subject to the emperor's orders. Zhang Wen did not dare to decide privately. He had only one task, to defeat the enemy. The rest was left to his own hands.
Let the talented people in the temple be busy.
When the letter was sent to Luoyang, it was almost the end of the year.
The emperor read Zhang Wen's handwritten letter, took out the map, and looked at it one by one. It was not difficult to conquer the Sanhan area, but how to manage it was a difficult problem. Before, the Han's control over the border fortress was weak, all because the Han's territory was too large.
It is difficult for the orders of the temple to reach such distant places, but today's Han Dynasty is running canals everywhere, connecting the north, south, and east.
Controlling the three Koreas is not difficult. However, whether to establish a prime minister, to control this area in general, or to re-establish counties and deliver county magistrates and other officials is a major matter worthy of the emperor's consideration. Such a big matter
The emperor felt that it was better to leave it to the court to talk about the matter. He originally wanted to summon his confidants to discuss it privately, but when he thought of inviting Wang Fu to come, the emperor gave up his idea.
The next day, there was a court meeting.
Under the leadership of Wang Fu, hundreds of officials went to court.
Wang Fu did not give the officials a chance to impeach him. He directly told the situation of the Three Koreas and asked the officials to come up with ideas. Yuan Feng was the first to say: "Now, if we rashly set up counties and counties, I am afraid it will cause the Three Koreas."
The turmoil in Han made all the previous efforts in vain, and when things failed, we sent three state ministers and the prefects ordered the three Hans to take charge of political affairs, and then divided the new army into five thousand troops and stationed them here to get the best of both worlds."
"No, if we don't set up counties and stick to the old customs, it will make it difficult to control the Three Koreas area. Only by governing it under the laws of the Han Dynasty can we control the Three Koreas as soon as possible. What's more, the Three Koreas have no military strength left. If we don't carry out strong control at this moment
, there will be more troubles in the future..." The person who opposed Yuan Feng was Wang Fu.
"If we set up prefectures and counties and many small countries, is it possible that our great Han Dynasty will send all the talented people to the three Koreas?" Yuan Feng asked rhetorically.
"By setting up counties and counties, we will unite the small country with the big country and set up county magistrates. As for the county magistrates, there are countless students from Taixue and Menzi. These people are enough!" Wang Fu said directly, and then he
Looking at the ministers, they found that even though they hated Wang Fu, some of his political views were still good. The ministers nodded, expressing their support for Wang Fu's decree.
The ministers looked at the emperor. Of course, only the emperor could make the final choice.
"Then counties were re-established in Erhan, and Chen County and Bian County were established, under the jurisdiction of Youzhou..."
"Send another person to sit in Mahan and act as the Prime Minister of the country..."
