When they arrived at Wancheng, Liu Biao had already arrived a day early and the two met very smoothly.

"By seniority, I should call you a clan brother?" Liu Tao didn't know how to start the show, so he simply asked about the seniority of both sides.

"If you follow seniority, this is indeed the case." Liu Biao breathed a little relieved and nodded and replied. It would be better to admit that he was a relative, at least in the next negotiation, it should not be too embarrassing for him.

"I know that my clan brothers are in control, and a lot of scholars below can easily get on the throne without taking the exam. Many things are not so much the clan brothers' orders, but rather the people below force the clan brothers to take action." Liu Tao sighed.

"Your Majesty can understand, and I can breathe a sigh of relief." Liu Biao responded quickly.

"But, in the eyes of outsiders, you are the one who calls himself emperor, and you are the one who fights me until now. Since you have taken the blame, you should just let it go, it won't work!" Liu Tao reminded.

"What price do you need to pay?" Liu Biao simply got to the point.

"Except Liu Pan, you and your children were demoted to common people and were exiled to Baiyun City at the same time. Don't worry, you will still be given land. You cannot serve in the third generation. If you deduct the necessary expenses, you will be confiscated. How about it?" Liu Tao asked.

"I can go anywhere with my old bones. But Qi'er's health has always been poor. I'm afraid I won't last a few years when I go to a place like Baiyun..." Liu Biao begged. In fact, it's good to get to this point. He is even ready to sacrifice himself to protect Liu Qi, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu.

As for another daughter, she had already promised to Wang Jie's son and asked him to raise her on his behalf.

In this era, the attitudes towards children are different, and Liu Biao is understandable to do so. Just like Cai Yong, the second daughter was sent to Yang Hui as a re-string. If Yang Hui's wife had not died early, she would probably have been a concubine.

When he fled to Wujun, he was also given many cares for Taishan Goats. If Yang Hua had lost his wife first, the two parties would have an engagement, and it would be fine if Yang Huan protected Cai Yong in the end. On the other hand, if Cai Yong had granted his second daughter to Yang Huan in exchange for Taishan Goats' protection, and Yang Huan's wife was not dead at that time... then the nature would have changed completely.

For Liu Biao, the most important thing is of course these three sons.

"There are doctors on Baiyun. I attach great importance to it, so I opened a state-owned clinic there. Besides, if you are weak, exercise well, eat a reasonable diet, and your body will naturally gradually improve. Sun Jian's fourth son, the eldest son of Huang Zhong, my general under my command, is not in good health. After training in the past few years, his body has gradually improved." Liu Tao did not agree to his request.

Today, Liu Qi is in poor health. Will Liu Cong and Liu Xiu also stay in poor health tomorrow?

Since you want to rebel, you have to bear the consequences in this regard. Instead of finding ways to recuperate Liu Qi's body well, what's the point of trying to make such a scheming?

Could it be that in Luoyang, Liu Qi's body suddenly improves? Then there will be no need for a doctor in the future. Anyone who is sick will come to Luoyang and will be cured without medicine after living for a while.

"Okay..." Liu Biao finally gave in. Liu Pan was in the army. As long as he was still there, even if the three of them were dead outside the frontier, his lineage could at least continue.

The biggest helpless thing is that the third generation cannot participate in the imperial examination, so they can only get married and have children as soon as possible.

Maybe in more than ten years, I will have the opportunity to see the birth of my great-grandson. With my great-grandson, my family will have hope.

There is nothing to talk about leftovers, basically the placement of civil and military officials in the three counties of Jingbei. Liu Tao said that according to the surrender theory, they were given an assessment, and those who passed the qualifications were left, and those who failed the qualifications would go home.

The army has at least carefully selected the army. What he needs more than the soldiers is population. In the conception of the great empire, population is an important basis for supporting his expansion.

Agricultural products, taxes, craftsmen and soldiers, how can we fight without these? How can we expand our territory without war?!

However, it is relatively abundant for the navy. After all, at this stage, he does lack sufficiently qualified navy troops. However, compared with the navy, the shipbuilding craftsmen are actually priceless treasures.

After all, the ships are still a little behind these days. Unfortunately, Liu Tao is not very familiar with navigation and many craftsmanship are not very familiar with. But he gave him a concept and then asked the craftsmen to explore it themselves. As long as he gave him enough money and materials, he could always study it.

In early February, Xiahou Yuan's troops entered Jiangling, Yu Jin's troops entered Jiangxia, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were assessed and stayed in the navy. Other civil and military officials were assessed and then transferred to other places one after another. New officials came to take over Jingbei and the Southern Han Dynasty was destroyed.

"Only Jiangnan and Yizhou are left..." At this time, Liu Tao had returned to Luoyang, and officials from various departments followed up on the follow-up matters, so there was no need for him to take action personally.

Liu Biao is also quite kind. He has reserved the taxes in recent years. At the same time, he had negative resistance before and did not waste too much food and grass. As an official from the Ministry of Revenue, he has smiled a lot more in recent days.

"Your Majesty, Jiangnan can be relieved for the time being." Jian Yong brought a memorial, not a letter of nationality, but a memorial, a memorial sent by Sun Ce.

He just proclaimed king, but did not proclaim himself emperor, so he sent memorials, which were obviously submitted as a minister.

"Oh, see what he said!" Liu Tao was very curious about this. Sun Ce was so sensible about the current affairs?

I took the memorial and opened it and looked at it. It turned out that Sun Ce sent someone to pay the taxes in several counties in Jiangnan. Of course, it was according to the lowest standards in previous years, but this was an attitude after all.

In addition, I sent some specialties from Jiangnan to express my congratulations to Your Majesty for conquering the Southern Han Dynasty. The final topic is the main topic, which is to hope to surrender to the Han Dynasty. It is not the one who surrenders directly, but the one who surrenders in name but is actually semi-independent, similar to the relationship between Yuan Shu and Sun Ce in history.

"It's great now, I can concentrate on attacking Yizhou..." Liu Tao complained, "I originally wanted to defeat Jiangnan first."

After all, if the road problem is not solved, it will not be easy for Yizhou to fight. On the other hand, as long as the road to enter Shu is closed completely, they will have to be self-sufficient and at will. Anyway, Liu Tao is not short of tea.

I just don’t know whether Bashu, which has an increasing proportion of tea fields, is willing to accept such a result.

According to Liu Tao's intention, it doesn't matter if he doesn't fight. He concentrates on dealing with Jiangnan and then slowly manages. No one in Bashu is allowed to go north, and naturally no one is allowed to go south. If he has been in five or ten years, he will probably be defeated without confrontation.

"Your Majesty, accept the sanctions and the strategy of going south, there is no conflict." Guo Jia reminded.

"Either if you don't accept it, how can you accept it and beat others?" Liu Tao retorted, "Tell Sun Ce that the Han Dynasty only accepts surrender and does not accepts surrender. The only way to surrender is to surrender in full!"

He paused and continued, "Sun Jian is almost idle enough, right? If he has enough idle enough, he will be arranged to be under Huang Zhong's command next year!"
