Zhuge Jin knew that all he had to do was make a good posture. As he knelt down, Zhuge Jin had already expected that Sun Quan would come to help him up in person, then untie himself, comfort himself, and send him to the front line of Poyang Lake.
Already.
"Mr. Zhuge, you are willing to die for Guxiao, right?" Sun Quan looked at Zhuge Jin on the ground and said.
Zhuge Jin was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, "Yes, yes."
"Okay then, let me lend you my head."
Before Zhuge Jin could react, Lu Meng had already stepped forward and cut off Zhuge Jin's head with a single blow under the horrified gaze of Zhuge Jin's wide eyes.
…
"Zhuge Jin has surrendered. He has been ordered to return to Wucheng. You must reorganize your army immediately and follow me out."
Sun Quan and Lü Meng reorganized Zhuge Jin's 10,000-strong naval force on the river bank, leaving only the big ships, small boats and some soldiers behind. He took 5,000 elite soldiers with him, got on the big ship, left the river mouth, and sailed toward the vast sea.
Sun Shangxiang stood by the river and watched the fleet go away, and said to Zhou Yu: "Brother Gongjin, the second brother took five thousand people to sea. It seems that I let it go on purpose. If my husband knows, will you blame me?"
Zhou Yu smiled: "If the King of Shu blames you, won't you let your second brother go?"
Sun Shangxiang lowered his head: "I just hope that my husband won't hate me for this."
Sun Shangxiang was a little afraid, because she knew that Liu Zhang would not let his opponent go for anyone. Sun Quan's unremitting ambition would undoubtedly be a big trouble.
If she leaves like this now, her husband will inevitably blame her, and Sun Shangxiang feels a little uneasy.
Zhou Yu looked at the somewhat uneasy Sun Shangxiang and breathed a sigh of relief: "At least, this result is not the worst."
In the autumn of 209 AD, when Wei Yan and Fa Zheng were preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Jiangdong, Zhou Yu ordered the execution of Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Lu Xun and other descendants of the family, and imprisoned the women who had given birth.
He led the entire Jiangdong and all the troops to surrender, Wei Wen completed the reorganization of the Jiangdong navy, Wei Yan completed the reorganization of the Jiangdong infantry, Fa Zheng led the army to advance into Jiangdong, and the people of Jiangdong lined the streets to welcome him, and the Sichuan army quickly controlled the entire territory of Jiangdong.
So far, from the Battle of Fucheng in 199 AD to the pacification of Jiangdong in 209 AD, it took ten years for the Sichuan army to finally dominate the world.
This is also when Dong Zhuo entered the capital and the world was in chaos, the world was once again unified.
The news spread quickly across the country on snowflakes of paper. All the people in the world were excited and excited.
Liu Zhang, who was inspecting the progress of the project in Peiping, received the news that Zhou Yu had surrendered in Jiangdong and that Wei Yan had taken control of the entire territory of Jiangdong. He quickly issued an order to comprehensively reorganize the navy based on the Sichuan Army and Navy.
It was expanded on the original basis of Jianye Water Port. Fifty thousand naval troops were stationed, nominally to prevent Sun Quan from counterattacking after he fled to the sea.
Jianye Water Port has Gan Ning as the chief governor and Zhou Yu as the deputy governor.
All the rest of the navy will follow Wei Wen to the north and will station at the Tianjin Water Port, named by Liu Zhang himself and located in the heart of the Bohai Bay, which is still under construction.
At the same time, he ordered Fazheng and Wei Yan to disarm the troops stationed in Jiangdong. The disarmament policy was consistent with that of the northern army. Some of the elite troops left behind were stationed in southern Xinjiang. Wei Yan would lead the defense of Shanyue, and the rest of the troops would be led by Fazheng. They would also bring along those who were willing to settle in Youzhou.
retired soldiers were transferred to the north.
Youzhou Beiping.
It was already cold in Peiping in September, so Liu Zhang only brought one person with him, along with Fan Lixiang's Shenwei Army, to inspect the progress of the project construction in Peiping.
Because of the incentive policy, a large number of retired soldiers and former Hebei refugees joined the construction, and the project progressed quickly. Now Peiping is full of haunted houses. Most of the original city walls have been demolished, greatly expanding the size of the city.
The palace is similar to the Xuchang Palace built by Cao Cao. It is not luxurious, but it does not lose its royal style. Based on the previous Yan Palace, the main palace complex has been formed, and other supporting palaces are under construction.
Everyone thought this was Huang Yueying's Yanwang Palace. They thought it was really luxurious and could perfectly match the status of the first military advisor of the Sichuan Army.
But these people only regard it as a luxurious palace. If they knew it was a royal palace, they would definitely think it was a bit rough.
It's just that Liu Zhang hasn't announced this news yet, so no one knows.
"My lord, now everyone in the world, not only us soldiers, not only those officials, but also the people all over the world are waiting for you to become emperor. What are you still hesitating about?"
Fan Lixiang inspected all the way with Liu Zhang, and just walked out of a concentrated building complex. Taking advantage of the gap, she asked Liu Zhang with a smile.
The Sichuan army has unified the world. At this moment, Fan Lixiang, like everyone else, feels extremely relaxed.
"It was because I had been discussing the matter of proclaiming the emperor with Yueying all day and I was extremely irritated, so I went out for a walk in the name of inspecting the construction site. Can you please stop annoying me?" Liu Zhang said in a very distressed tone.
"Trouble? What's the trouble? Although the etiquette of the new emperor's ascension to the throne is complicated, my lord does not need to worry about it. Alas, I, Fan Lixiang, wandered around with my father as a performer since I was a child. I never thought that one day I would be able to see the new emperor ascend the throne.
, and I am also an important minister of the new emperor and the founding father of the country, it is really like a dream."
As Fan Lixiang was talking, she became intoxicated. Liu Zhang glanced at her: "What a shame."
From the very beginning when she met Fan Lixiang, she looked miserable and stupid, and then she did whatever it took to hold on to power. When she arrived in Liangzhou, she was willing to sacrifice herself several times to save the people.
Fan Lixiang has changed too much.
Now there is almost no trace of this intoxicated woman outside Guiyang City.
Liu Zhang knew that everyone in the world might be relaxed now. The common people could finally escape the misery of war, soldiers would no longer have to risk their lives on the battlefield, and Wu could finally wait until the day when he would become famous.
But the only person in the world who is not relaxed because of the unification of the world may be him, the top coach of the Sichuan Army. If I must add one, it is Huang Yueying.
The day's plan begins in the morning, and the year's plan begins in the spring. The creation of a new dynasty, in the first generation, has to decide too many things.
Liu Zhang, who came from later generations, knew deeply that unifying the world does not end with a king, and governing the world may be more difficult than unifying the world.
What's more, it was the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although the name of the country was still Han Dynasty, it was essentially a new dynasty. The official system, economic system, people's livelihood system, and military system at the time of the founding of the country were all matters related to countless generations. A slight deviation would have consequences.
serious.
For Liu Zhang, this was undoubtedly a big battle.
"Let's not talk about anything else. I don't know how many people will object to establishing the capital in Peiping. I have never known how to announce it. Now that the world is unified, it is imminent to become emperor. If we don't announce it, it will be impossible. Alas, it's annoying.
It used to be boring to lead the army in battle, but now it's boring to be the emperor."
Fan Lixiang looked at Liu Zhang. She had never thought that a person who was about to become emperor would be like this, so plain and calm. Was it because she was ignorant and had never understood those who were about to become emperor, or was this person always like this?
Proclaiming himself emperor is just a step towards realizing one's ideal?
Fan Lixiang smiled and said: "To be honest, I am also opposed to making Peiping the capital. I don't understand other things. It's really cold here."
As she spoke, Fan Lixiang tightened the plush of her collar and shrank her neck. She was from the south, and now that she had come to Peiping and faced the first Youzhou winter, she really couldn't bear it.
Liu Zhang smiled and pulled Fan Lixiang over. Fan Lixiang was startled and quickly moved away: "It's broad daylight, there are so many people behind you."
After saying that, Fan Lixiang looked at Liu Zhang, came closer, and said to Liu Zhang, "My lord, I don't care about you becoming emperor, nor will I care about it, but there is one thing."
, you must do it.”
"What's up?"
"I accept Li Xiang as my concubine." After saying this, Fan Lixiang had a faint blush on her face, but immediately said firmly: "Since Emperor Guangwu of our country, the harem system has been simplified. In addition to the queen, there are four levels in the harem, nobles and beauties.
, palace people, pick girls.
Li Xiang knows that she was once a woman, and a noble and beautiful woman does not dare to expect anything, she just wants to be a picker."
Fan Lixiang spoke softer and quieter, and Liu Zhang asked curiously: "What kind of girl?"
Fan Lixiang's heart trembled suddenly, she glanced at Liu Zhang, and suddenly turned her head away: "Even this can't be done." There was a hint of sadness.
Liu Zhang sensed something was wrong and pulled Fan Lixiang over. When he saw her face, he immediately understood. Fan Lixiang thought that he didn't want to marry her, but Liu Zhang really didn't expect that a woman like Fan Lixiang would have tears in her eyes.
"Well, I just don't know what a harem is, so I asked. Lixiang, I will marry you without you having to tell me. What a harlequin, you are the same as everyone else. They are all noble concubines."
In Liu Zhang's impression, he probably remembered the names of concubines in the harem in ancient times, such as imperial concubine, Zhaoyi, Jieyu, and the twelfth-class concubines. He had never heard of palace people and concubines.
Judging from the name, it sounds like she is a palace maid or a handyman. Regardless of whether she is or not, her status must be extremely low.
"Liar, you clearly did it on purpose. How could you, the king of Shu and a descendant of the royal family, not know about picking girls?" Fan Lixiang burst into tears after hearing Liu Zhang's words.
After leading her troops to Peking, Fan Lixiang was really afraid that she would be a general for the rest of her life because she was Zhao Sheng's wife. When she asked Liu Zhang to accept her, she seemed confident but felt very uneasy in her heart. Now she finally felt at ease.
"But, what is a royal concubine?"
"I also plan to change the name of the harem." Liu Zhang said, I'm really not used to these strange things, so I'd better use something I'm familiar with.
Liu Zhang knew that after becoming emperor, a harem was unavoidable. The rate of premature death was extremely high in ancient times. The emperor must continue the royal bloodline, and a harem was also where the emperor's dignity resided.
All Liu Zhang could do was to reduce the size of the harem. A harem of three thousand beauties would be fine, but hundreds would be inevitable. Even if he did not agree, the military commanders below would be anxious.
But now these are just minutiae. The founding of the country after proclaiming the emperor is really complicated. First of all, setting the capital in Peiping must be settled in a gentle way.
