Chapter 159: Chu Hou (Part 2)

Zheng Pingyuan sent away the imperial envoy and returned to the tent.

When he arrived at the camp, Zheng Pingyuan immediately called his personal soldiers and said, "Go and invite Mr. Ji and Mr. Zhang here."

"No." Seeing the personal soldiers go out, Zheng Pingyuan didn't say anything.

The brazier in the camp was about to be extinguished. No one dared to move around just now, but now it doesn't matter. So personal soldiers came in, set up the newly built brazier, and retreated to the side.

These people are all dead soldiers who have been raising for generations of the Zheng family, and they can not avoid them even when negotiating military affairs.

The light rain outside began to float again.

Although the rain is not heavy, the cold weather makes people feel inexplicably gloomy and irritable.

Ji Gui and Zhang Yu were not far away. After the personal soldiers called him, they entered the tent from outside for a while.

Zheng Pingyuan has been waiting until now, and his mood has calmed down. As soon as the two of them sat down, they gave the imperial edict to see.

Zhang Yu had already read it, and then he took a brief look at it and handed it over to Ji Gui.

Ji Gui looked carefully and saw a volume of imperial edict, three feet long and one foot wide. It was made of golden silk silk. In the hands on both sides were two symmetrical flying dragons, with four words "Suitable for the Imperial" in the middle.

After suppressing his thoughts and carefully deciphering, it was found that the imperial court's will to Zheng Pingyuan, and the general idea was to be appointed as the Marquis of Chu and the Grand Governor of Jingnan.

Finally, the signature is indeed the official jade seal.

"Master Chu?" Ji Gui narrowed his eyes: "I really didn't expect that the King of Wu could issue such an order."

Although this is a bright imperial edict, everyone knows that it is the King of Wu, Wei Yue, and not the emperor who is almost disappearing in the role of a puppet.

"Is this imperial edict in your opinion wrong?" Zheng Pingyuan asked seriously.

"Lord, I have never seen anything wrong with this imperial edict. The decree of Wei Yue to Wang Hongyi was given the title of King of Qin. In comparison, Duke and Mausoleum were already lighter."

"Mr. Ji said very much. Although I only met once on a mission, King Wei Yue of Wu was indeed very talented and would not make any articles in this regard. He only wanted to seize Jiangling and appease our army so that he could free up time to sweep the five towns, then sweep Jingbei, and once sweep Jingbei, Jingnan would naturally be defeated without attacking Jingnan." Zhang Yu said calmly.

"Marquis Chu?" As Ji Gui's words were recalled in his heart, Zheng Pingyuan seemed to be smiling.

Zhang Yu and Ji Gui have different temperaments, but they have some skills in figuring out the minds of the superiors, and almost at the same time they understand Zheng Pingyuan's mind.

"Lord, this lord of Chu is a good title, but it is an ancient official title. The lord has this title, and it is enough to order Jingnan. Judging from this imperial edict, King Wei Yue of Wu has already decided." Ji Gui said: "Lord should make plans early to issue this imperial edict, quickly establish a country and appease the people. One day will be better."

As long as the country is established and can appease the people, it doesn’t matter whether it is a war or a peace at that time.

After hearing this, Zheng Pingyuan was shocked and stared at the glass lamp. No one could guess what he was thinking now. After a long time, he said: "Mr. Ji said it well. Now I will quickly establish an official system. In this regard, Duke Shu did a good job. I will also establish a sixth department, establish a county, and quickly pacify Jingnan."

After a while, he calmed down and looked at the two people beside him: "Changsha is coming down in a blink of an eye. There are four counties in Jingnan, can they respond to the enemy?"

"The only thing that Changsha is in Jingnan is strong. Once Changsha is defeated, the other four counties will be shaken. It is not difficult to surrender them!" Ji Gui said: "The imperial edict and angels have some effect. Even if they ignore the court, this also represents the strongest King of Wu in the south. Our two armies merge, and even if they merge temporarily, it will be a huge deterrent to the remaining counties. It should not be difficult to pacify the remaining counties."

Zhang Yu thought so, and said, "I will discuss it."

So thinking this is because they had conducted investigations on several counties in Jingnan before they came.

Once Changsha is captured, although other four counties have the power of resistance, it is a matter of time before they are captured. In normal times, they can also seek skin from tigers, find some allies to fight the enemy together, or use excuses to guard the place.

Now Zheng Pingyuan has an imperial edict in his hands. Under such conditions, the three counties will soften their resistance. Who is not surrendering? Since the other party is talking about the court, the county magistrate does not need to worry about the financial security issues after the defeat and his reputation will be damaged.

It is the duty of a minister and no one can speak.

And even if there is a situation, there are still many soldiers or soldiers who are still orthodox, so it is easy to divide the internal response.

After hearing this, Zheng Pingyuan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's give it a try. In the name of the court and this marquis, it is a good thing that can really take down the four counties without bloodshed."

"Changsha is just around the corner, and the navy is starting to move. Be sure to emptie Jiangling. Mr. Zhang, you go back and deal with this matter!" After a while, Zheng Pingyuan said.

"No!" Zhang Yu said in response.

Shangyong

It was already March 15 that Wang Hongyi received information from the Thirteenth Division.

Shangyong is a big city, and the mansion is also very luxurious. There is a lake in the mansion. The central pavilion has a wide view, and there is only a water corridor connecting it. In the corridor, there are bells, tripods, rocks, zithers and flutes alternately.

A group of girls were flying in their skirts, and under the guidance of the foreman, they rippled with infinite spring scenery. They all had moving figures, and their skin was shining with snow, making people sigh.

The wind blew, and the girl danced gracefully. At this time, the chill gradually faded, and the spring was rich, and tender leaves could be seen in the lake. At this moment, sitting in front of the pavilion, drinking tea, watching the music, and sometimes looking at the girl's volleyball dance outside, which was quite interesting.

Seeing Zhang Youzhi coming, Wang Hongyi smiled and said, "Sit down!"

"Lord, news came from Shu that wheat is growing well this year, and it is expected to be twice as high as last year." Zhang Youzhi bowed and smiled and said.

"So much?" Wang Hongyi was a little surprised.

"The main reason is that Shu has basically calmed down the battle last year. The people can make every effort to reclaim wasteland, and the land acres have been doubled at once. Especially after getting Wudu, they began to buy cattle and horses from Longzuo, achieving a lot of results and opening up the trade route."

"According to the lord's instructions, we should accumulate horses and cattle with all our strength. Even if it is a bad horse, we can cultivate the fields. If it is not too shallow, the cultivated fields can be doubled."

"The Lord God is very effective, and the increase in yield is second. After all, there is not much cow dung, but Lord Xue is well-managed and cooperates with the officials to pray to the sky to take turns to double the yield per mu of the people, making the people believe in it as gods. After this round, the Lord's reputation is at its peak and no one will shake it."

"I ask my lord to order a group of immortals to disperse them to Shangyong, so that Shangyong's grain production will double this year, and that Shangyong's people will be attached to him and will be as solid as a soup!"

Wang Hongyi knew about this. In fact, the greatest function of the gods and immortals is no longer to increase food, but to pretend to be a god. Just imagine, someone ruled, but the grain production doubled back then. Wouldn't it make people think that this is a blessing from heaven?

If someone can bring great kindness to heaven, he must be the true emperor.

This time, the golden finger was opened, which made people's hearts completely calm. Wang Hongyi smiled and said, "Great charity, this year, Shangyong's spring plowing, the immortals were used to scatter. In autumn, not only did the grain production double, but the people completely surrendered. Shangyong's population is large, and with this foundation, it can increase 20,000 soldiers! I agree with this matter, you can write down the following!"

"No!" Zhang Youzhi responded and said again: "This time, you can transport one million stones to Shangyong after harvesting this time."

"Well, only when the soldiers are full of themselves can they have the power to swallow the enemy!"

The training of soldiers is hard, and the solar eclipse can reach two and a half kilograms, and one million stones is the annual ration of 100,000 soldiers, which is more than enough.

The two of them laughed, and Zhang Youzhi said in a serious manner: "Lord, the information sent by the Thirteenth Division is not good!"

Wang Hongyi frowned and said, "Who, I have heard some of it, you have summarized it."

"Yes, all the lists reported by the Thirteenth Division have been reported. I will summarize. The first one is that Zheng Pingyuan actually submitted the imperial court, presented Jiangling to the imperial court, and captured Changsha. After that, Guiyang and Changming counties had surrendered, and they had four counties at once. The speed of success was amazing, and Jingnan fell into his hands."

"There is also the King of Wu who sent the navy into Jiangling. Although he did not officially move in, he was almost done. Sun Chang of Xiangyang also submitted a letter to the court. Although he did not hand over his real power, he formed an alliance in his name. The lord suddenly changed. The original idea of ​​defeating each became a solid stone for the offensive and defensive alliance!" At this point, Zhang Youzhi sighed and said, "I looked at it, and I was also amazed. I turned my hands and turned my hands and turned my hands into rain. I dare not underestimate the heroes of the world."

"Well!" Wang Hongyi thought, stood up, and walked while thinking, and said for a long time: "Yes, there are so many heroes in the world. Originally, Jingzhou was falling apart, and Zheng Pingyuan and Sun Chang could not unite. Behind him, he had to be wary of the King of Wu, a scattered sand, and let the orphans take it. Now, in this way, the three families will fight against the orphans together."

Thinking about the historical memories carefully, he said, "This person must be Zhang Yu."

Wang Hongyi knows little about the future now, most of them are the main figures of various forces, and it is impossible for him to know as much as Shu.

Zhang Yu was Zheng Pingyuan's first military advisor in his previous life. Although he was very famous, he didn't want to be so powerful and turned Jingzhou around in an instant.

When I entered Qin in my previous life, I fought with the King of Qin. Now, depending on the situation, I might have to fight with the original King of Chu and King of Wu in Jingzhou.

"Lord, that's the case, but there are still gaps. Zheng Pingyuan doesn't have enough time to manage Jingnan, so it's impossible for the King of Wu to get rid of the fire. As long as he doesn't attack Jingnan, he won't move."

"The King of Wu will invade a large amount, but now it is still restrained by the three towns. It is not a problem before entering the summer. Therefore, although the three families have an alliance, there is actually a chance."

"Lord, it seems that Xiangyang has to fight, and it has to fight before the summer, otherwise the situation in Jingzhou will be in danger!" Zhang Youzhi said.

Wang Hongyi glanced at Zhang Youzhi. Zhang Youzhi was actually very young and handsome young, but the wrinkles on his eyebrows gathered together after a moment of meditation. This is evidence that it took pains to take.

Wang Hongyi couldn't help but nodded and sighed: "Yes, you must fight hard battles to conquer the world. This Xiangyang is the only tough battle!"

Even so, the monarchs and ministers of Shu Kingdom were still worried and did not lose their stance. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations from *** (***.***). ***. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
