Chapter 188: Shangdu and Seoul

The Liaodong Campaign, which took place last winter and lasted for more than three months, came to an end. The battle process and results were also spread across the land of China with the spring breeze. In the Central Plains and across the country, this magical battle was spread.

"It's really weird. Several forces participated in the war. Hundreds of thousands of troops fought against each other. The final result was a huge defeat for all parties involved in the war. The defeat was miserable and impossible to recover from. Weird. It's really weird.

"

"There is a ghost. There must be a ghost."

"You're a ghost. Lord Zheng Yu is a god from heaven who descended to earth. He can spread beans and make soldiers. So Gongsun Du was defeated. The Wuhuan coalition was defeated. The Xianbei coalition was defeated. Goguryeo was defeated..." The speaker was foaming at the mouth.

"Nonsense. You think he is Taiping Yaoshu. He is Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Army. Lord Zheng Yu is a hero in the world. Even Dong Zhuo's Lu Bu was defeated by him. Do you know who Lu Bu is? He is also the most powerful general in the world."

"The first fart. Even after losing, I still come first."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Just ask a general who understands military affairs and it will be clear. I heard that Lord Zheng Yu conquered the country. He was not the emperor, but he made his two wives queens. It's true. I don't know what Lord Zheng Yu thinks about it.

Will you kneel down when you are looking at Her Majesty the Queen? But when a man kneels down for a woman, this goes against the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Permanent Rules."



These topics first spread from the government, and then they were whispered among the people. Soon they spread throughout the thirteen states. Later, even old stories such as Zheng Yu's invasion of Guanzhong to fight against Dong Zhuo were brought up and discussed. In the end.

Zheng Yu became a god. People all said that Master Zheng was like a divine helper and the protector of the Han people. Otherwise, how could these powerful Xianbei and Wuhuan people be exterminated.

The rumors among the common people soon disappeared. But the knowledgeable people in the government, especially in the army, could not explain clearly about this battle. After all, the participating parties fought back and forth and were all defeated in the end. And the Zheng family army was the only one.

The victor did not participate in the battle. This is difficult to understand. During the entire battle, he just sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, but he saw the unification of the north.

"In the past six months, the entire northern border of the Han Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes. And the Wuhuan Kingdom that is about to be established will actually have Zheng Yu's wife and concubine as the queen. This, this, this, this makes everyone even more confused." A certain general sighed.

.

In this era, men were superior to women, but women were the kings. They were curious. The people were extremely curious. The whole country was curious and they were all reciting the news. In addition, after receiving the report of the battle between Liu and Yu, the Han Dynasty court praised the battle and spread the word.

The establishment of the Huan Kingdom sent special envoys to congratulate them. Therefore, the names of the newly-established Wuhuan Kingdom, Goguryeo Kingdom, and the two queens Song Ji and Li Ji were already known to everyone.

Next, the people began to long for the paradise land under Zheng Yu's rule. They were all considering moving to Guandong to reclaim wasteland. Tian Chou had people announce it to the people across the country, saying that there were thousands of miles of mountains and rivers outside the Guan, fertile land, and rich products. He encouraged Han people to settle there.

And reclamation. How much land can be reclaimed is permanently owned by the individual.

This policy was very attractive to the people at that time. Coupled with a series of preferential policies promulgated subsequently, as well as a stable political and living environment, it exerted great attraction on the people of the Central Plains. A new wave of immigration began.

appeared. Different from the great migration to the south in history, this time it was a large-scale migration of Han people to the north.

In the next three years, at least more than three million people moved outside the customs. This was enough to make Zheng Yu famous for generations. For this reason, Zheng Yu and his subordinates were very happy.

Besides, this was a great battle that determined the universe and brought a strong shock to all parties. All the warring princes in the Central Plains unanimously put down their weapons and stopped to watch. Even Gongsun Zan, who was suppressing bandits in Qingzhou, temporarily stopped fighting and went to rest.

The princes from all over the country heard that Wuhuan was going to establish a country, so they hurriedly sent envoys to attend the grand ceremony. One was for Liu Yu's high position and his benevolence and love for the people; the other was to give Zheng Yu, a rising star, face; and the third was to find out more about Wuhuan. The reality of Huan and Goguryeo. Among them, the true combat power of Zheng Jiajun is what attracts more attention.

Therefore, people kept coming to Liucheng during this period. For this reason, Tian Chou set up a reception office to arrange the food, accommodation and itinerary for guests from all over the world. Zheng Yu was still free. He couldn't do these things, and his subordinates didn't let him do it. The name is: My Lord has a different status now. You must respect yourself. You must respect yourself.

Zheng Yu is an active person and a person who is unwilling to be lonely. Fortunately, two similar people came to Liucheng, so he is not lonely. At this time, he was fishing with Cao Cao and Liu Bei by the river. Zheng Yu was holding a fishing rod. The hook is straight.

Cao Cao joked: "Xiao Yun is holding the fishing rod that must have belonged to Jiang Taigong. It's a pity that he couldn't catch a fish for a long time. Then he will catch a big beauty. Haha. Haha." After saying that, he laughed happily.

"Xiao Yun. Your Commander-in-Chief Su Wan is coming towards you. Maybe there is something wrong. Let's finish fishing. This job is not for us at our age. When we are old, how about Xuande accompanying you to go fishing?" Liu Bei He seemed helpless. He didn't like fishing, but he was kidnapped by Zheng Yu and Cao Cao and came to the river.

Zheng Yu looked back and saw Su Wan, Cai Yan and Liu Qian walking towards this side. Cao Cao sighed and said, "Xiao Yun is truly a proud man of heaven. Brother Xiao Yun has taken all the beauties in his career." After that, he Also put away the fishing rod.

The three girls came over and said hello to Cao Liu. Su Wan took Zheng Yu's arm and said, "Let's go. You have nothing else to do anyway. Today I will accompany Mr. Liu and Mr. Cai to select a site for the new royal capital. " When Cao Liu heard that a site for the new royal capital was to be selected, his interest immediately increased and he proposed to go and see it.

Returning to the palace, Liu Yu and Cai Yong were already waiting. They got on the carriage and headed south under the guard of their own soldiers. Tian Chou first suggested this. He said that the current palace was worse than the Dudu's Mansion and that it was impossible to hold a celebration. Therefore. It can only be arranged in the big square in front of the palace.

For this reason, Cai Yong proposed to build a larger palace thirty miles south of Liucheng and call it Shangdu City; at the same time, build a new capital city of Goguryeo in the former Liaodong County and call it Hancheng. Lord Liu Yu also strongly agreed.

When this proposal came out, Zheng Yu was dumbfounded. He said to himself: I don’t know if Shenyang will exist in the future. And I don’t know what Seoul in South Korea should be called. But he just hesitated for a moment and didn’t have any objection. In his heart, he felt that it should be called Seoul. Sounds good. It is also the capital of the Han people.

An hour later, everyone came to the foot of a mountain peak. There was a narrow path going up the mountain. Zheng Yu hurriedly helped Cai Yong climb the mountain. But the old man said, "I'm not old yet." He threw off his arms and climbed the mountain alone. When he reached the halfway point, he said helplessly. : "I can't do it if I don't accept the old age."

Climb to the top of the mountain and look south. You can see mountains on three sides. There is a flat river in the valley. A big river surrounds this grassland. The scenery is beautiful. Cai Yong pointed to the big river and said: "This river is in a ring shape. The water flow is gentle and clear. Here. It must be a treasured land for diversion. If we set the capital here, we can ensure that there will be no more wars for hundreds of thousands of people on the northern border. It is an auspicious place."

Liu Yu gestured with his hands. After a long time, he said: "This is indeed a good place. The feng shui is excellent. Building the capital can ensure the peace of the northern country for thousands of years. Moreover, it is also close to Liucheng. A large number of people will move here. So, it's no problem to accommodate millions of people." After saying that, he and Cai Yong talked in low voices, and kept pointing to the distance and talking about some professional terms. In short, Zheng Yu didn't understand these, and he didn't bother to listen.

Zheng Yu didn't understand these things about mountains and rivers. Cao Cao didn't bother to understand. Liu Bei was noncommittal.

At this time, Cao Liu and Cao Liu were hiding in the shade of a tree and chatting. Cao Cao whispered to Liu Bei: "If Xiaoyun hadn't completely wiped out Wuhuan, Xianbei in the east would have no use no matter how good the feng shui is. Strength is the last word. Now, the various departments of Xianbei They are all avoiding Xiao Yun's army. The whole north is really peaceful."

Liu Bei thought about the situation in the Liaodong war. He couldn't help but sigh: "Xuande still hasn't figured out why it ended like this. The Wu-Huan coalition forces were driven to the east of Ma Zi River. From now on, Gongsun Du will block it. It's different." I want to come back. The two Xianbei tribes were raided by Xiao Yun. They moved all the troops of the two tribes south to merge with Wuhuan and the Han people. The remaining Xianbei coalition forces were more than half lost in the battlefield of Liaodong. They were driven thousands of miles westward. From now on, we will never dare to look eastward. Goguryeo was annexed by Zheng Yu. The three kingdoms of Fuyu, Yilou and Woju were directly destroyed. In this way, the northern part of the Han Dynasty really has no foreign enemies."

Cao Cao was also full of admiration. "Xiao Yun's battle is not only famous in the world, but also will be remembered forever. As long as Zheng Yu Yong controls the north, the north will be stable. It's strange. People who conquer the country always become the emperor themselves. But Xiao Xiao Yun pushed two ladies out to become queens. It’s really strange.”

Liu Bei laughed out loud after hearing this. "There is another one. Su Wan is now the female governor of Youzhou. It is really a strange thing in the world. Women actually surpass men."

"There are many capable women. They should not be underestimated."

Zheng Yu didn't know that Cao Liu was talking about him. At this time, he was walking around behind Liu Yu and Cai Yong. He neither understood nor was interested in these things, but he had to pretend to be humble. Both of them were around him. Among the people he respects, one is a great scholar of the time and his father-in-law, so of course he must be listened to; the other is his immediate boss and brother-in-law, with a high position of authority, and his words must be listened to even more.

Therefore, he can only pretend to be a grandson. What makes him proud is that he is now very good at pretending to be a grandson. He said in his heart, this is high emotional intelligence.

Liu and Cai turned around to ask him for his opinion from time to time. Zheng Yu could only say "hmm" and "yes, yes". Soon, the two of them knew that Zheng Yu was not interested. But choosing the capital was a big deal, so they still decided After careful investigation, I stayed on the top of the mountain for half a day before starting to go down the mountain.

"Master Cai, the names of the two capitals are very good. One is Xanadu and the other is Seoul. They are both very meaningful. Is that the decision?" Liu Yu asked as he walked. First he asked Cai Yong. Then he turned to look at him. Zheng Yu behind him.

Cai Yong also looked back at Zheng Yu. "How about I go back and think about it again. Maybe I can discuss it with everyone before deciding."

But Zheng Yu said: "You two adults think it is good. That must be the best. I think it can be decided. It is Xanadu and Seoul." In this way, the names of the capitals have been decided. The next step is to form two preparatory offices. Responsible for construction.

Anyway, these are matters between Cai Yong and Tian Chou. Zheng Yu doesn't want to get involved. This is a typical example of "I don't know what I don't know".

The road down the mountain was a bit steep. Cao Cao took the initiative to help Liu Yu. Zheng Yu held on to Cai Yong's arm and walked. After a few steps, he simply carried Cai Yong on his back. Cao Cao took the initiative to carry Liu Yu on his back and flew down the mountain. .

It was already very late when we returned to Jicheng.
