In mid-September last year, the proposal to relocate the residence, which was proposed by Zhang Yi and revised by Zhuge Liang, was approved by the elder brother.

According to the original plan, the capital should be moved from Shouchun to Lujiang at the beginning of this spring, but due to the continuous emergencies in Jingzhou and subsequent wars, the relocation and governance have been delayed until now.

After the Jingzhou war, Cao Cao's military strength was exhausted, and to some extent, Liu Qi's side had to rely on our army to survive. He should be able to escape the pain of fighting in a short period of time.

Moreover, it is not the busiest time for agriculture to be the most important, so it will not affect the people of Shouchun and Lujiang counties too much. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, my elder brother decided to move the capital.

In order to avoid disturbing the people as much as possible, the migration of the capital was very simple. The eldest brother did not ask someone to make a big fuss in Lujiang to build a new mansion, so he directly used the original county magistrate's mansion as the provincial governor's mansion.

Since I knew that my elder brother would move to Lujiang, the county magistrate Zhuge Jin had made very meticulous preparations in advance.

In less than half a month, the relocation and governance affairs that should have been very troublesome were settled.

After the eldest brother moved to Lujiang, Shouchun's important task of garrison fell on his second brother without permission. The second brother was appointed as the prefect of Shouchun with the rank of Pingbei General, and Bu Zhi served as the governor of Shouchun, assisting the second brother in charge of government affairs.

At the same time, the proposal of Zengjun proposed by Lusu was also passed.

Shanyue has always been a big problem that plagues Jiangdong. For a long time, there were constant disputes between Han and Yue, especially during the Sun rule of Jiangdong, the Shanyue tribe almost rebelled all year round, and the Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers were not ruthless.

When there was a rebellion, he even used the attack on Shanyue as a means of increasing the number of households, which made the two tribes increasingly resent.

After defeating the Sun family, we adopted various methods of giving kindness and power and cultivating Huairou, which greatly alleviated the conflict with the Shanyue tribe, but the conflict between the Han and Yue tribes still existed. According to statistics report by Deng Zhi, the governor of Kuaiji County, it was only last year.

Nearly a hundred disputes of all sizes occurred between the two tribes, and when the situation was bad, it almost evolved into a military fight. Fortunately, Liao Hua, who was in charge of military affairs in Kuaiji, decisively dispatched troops to calm the scene. Then Deng Zhi unbiasedly reconciled the conflicts between the two sides, so that the situation would not be uncontrollable.

When disputes arise between the two tribes, some Han officials like to help the Han people and discriminate against Shanyue, which often makes the problem worse and worse.

In view of this, Lu Su made a bold suggestion - to divide Kuaiji County, which has a vast territory into two. In the middle, the north is still called Kuaiji County, and a new county is established in the Shanyue settlement in the southern part of Kuaiji, called Yue County.

Among the counties in Jiangdong, Kuaiji is the county where Shanyue is the most concentrated. According to the statistics from Deng Zhi at the end of last year, there are more than 200,000 Shanyue people in Kuaiji County. Among them, more than 100,000 are young and strong.

Except for Kuaiji, the Shanyue people in Danyang and Wujun counties added up to less than 50,000.

Lu Su proposed that in the newly established Yue County, the county magistrates and the commanders of each county were all appointed by the Shanyue people. However, they must be appointed by the eldest brother.

At the same time, the county magistrate and the academic ministers were engaged in the main government affairs of county magistrates, and the academic officials were temporarily held by Han people and could be returned to the Shanyue people in ten years.

In addition, official schools were established in counties and counties, and the sons of Han people were responsible for educating the children of Shanyue.

In the future, talents will be selected from these systematically educated children of Shanyue to succeed positions in Yue County, among which those with particularly excellent academic qualifications can be recommended to other counties or even provincial and ministerial offices.

The suggestion of adding Yue County in Lusu is not a temporary whim. It is obviously a very complete and rigorous plan after careful consideration.

From a close perspective, this suggestion helps to ease the conflicts between the Han and Yue tribes, stabilize the situation in Kuaiji and even the entire Jiangdong area; from a distance, it lays the most solid foundation for the thorough assimilation of the Shanyue tribe.

At first glance, it seems that the Shanyue tribe benefits from it, but the real benefit is the eldest brother.

This proposal can almost be regarded as a modified version of later generations of "regional ethnic autonomy".

After some careful inquiries and discussions, the elder brother finally recognized Lu Su's suggestion. He decided that Lu Su and Zhuge Liang, who was very interested in this, would be jointly responsible for the specific matters of adding Yue County.

Outside Xuchang City, on the soul sacrifice platform, a huge spiritual banner was flying in the wind. Sometimes I was flying high, sometimes I slowly fell down.

Cao Cao was wearing white clothes, standing alone on the top of the platform, staring at the southern sky, silent.

Thousands of soldiers in the audience, with simple armor, stood solemnly holding a small white banner. Looking at Tainan, they were covered in white.

The Cao family, led by Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong, the Xiahou clan and a group of military generals were listed on the right side of the Soul Platform, while the civil officials led by Xun Yu and Xun You were listed on the right side of the Soul Platform.

Everyone has white silk tied their waists and a solemn face.

"After I die, I will return to the mountain sun. How majestic the mountain is, how vast the sky is. There are trees on the mountain and the country is sad. The soul returns to look at the country.

After your body has died, you will be buried in the mountains. Life is short and the years have passed. Life is destined but death is nothing. The soul returns to look at the mountains and rivers.

Since the body has disappeared, I will return to the foot of the mountain. How high the sky is, how solemn the wind is. Holding the sword and the spiritual flag stands. The soul returns and guards the relatives forever!"

Suddenly, Cao Cao sang to the sky, his voice was extremely loud, revealing a deep sense of desolation and sorrow.

In agreement with Cao Cao, thousands of soldiers standing solemnly sang softly, and the low and sad songs echoed throughout the fields for a long time.

Prime Minister's Office, Office of the Seminar

"If you cannot kill all the rebels of the Ma family, how can you be worthy of Zi and the Spirit of Heaven!" Xiahou Yuan opened his hair and shouted angrily.

Since there is no threat of war in the northern border and Youzhou for the time being, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun specially rushed back to Xuchang from Bingzhou and Jizhou to commemorate Cao Chun who was killed in Shangyong.

Cao Chun was Cao Ren's younger brother. He followed Cao Cao to fight south and north since he started the army, and he also created the first powerful tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao's army. Therefore, Cao Cao relied on him very much.

It can be said that Cao Chun is the most trusted clan general by Cao Cao except Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren.

Cao Chun, who was gentle outside the battlefield, had a good relationship with the generals of the Cao and Xiahou clans. Therefore, after Cao Chun died in battle, even if he was hundreds of miles apart, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan would rush back to participate in the memorial service.

"Prime Minister, Hong is willing to invite a group of elite soldiers to capture the rebels of the Ma family before the Prime Minister!" Cao Hong, who was impatient, immediately stepped out of the line and asked for his resignation.

Cao Cao stood with his back to everyone, and he stood with his hands behind his back, and did not say a word for a long time.

"Prime Minister..." Cao Hong was going to continue to plead for his order, but Cao Ren, who was standing beside him, stopped him with his eyes.

The civil and military officials in the hall set their eyes on Cao Cao and stood silently.

After a long time, Cao Cao suddenly turned around and asked Jia Xu in a deep voice: "Wenhe, have you ever found where the Ma Dai brothers are now?"

"Report to the Prime Minister. The Ma Dai brothers seemed to have followed Guan Yu, Zhang Fei went to Shouchun..." Jia Xu replied quickly.

"Shouchun..." Cao Cao murmured for a few moments, without any expression on his face, "A Ma Chao died, and there was actually a Ma Dai..." From Xu Chu, Cao Cao knew that it was not Ma Chao who killed Cao Chun that day.

It was Ma Chao's cousin Ma Dai. After withdrawing his troops, Cao Cao ordered Jia Xu to use the fine net in Jingzhou to conduct careful investigations, and then he learned about the fact that Ma Chao was dead.

"Prime Minister, please allow Cao Hong to lead his troops to Shouchun. Capture Ma Dai to fight for his blood!" Cao Hong was still unwilling to give up his thoughts and once again asked for his orders.

"The matter of going to Shouchun is not a trivial matter, and we need to make a long-term plan!" Cao Cao waved his hand and rejected Cao Hong's request.

After pausing, Cao Cao continued to ask Jia Xu: "Wenhe, what's going on with Liu Bei and Liu Qi?"

"The situation in Jingzhou has become stable, and the counties in Xiangyang seem to be busy with farming. In addition, Liu Qi is recruiting troops from Jingzhou in the past collapsed areas. According to the current momentum, Jingzhou will be able to restore its eight-point vitality before the war in March and April.

"Jia Xu replied calmly, "Liu Bei seems to be busy relocating the capital. It is reported that Liu Bei intends to move the capital from Shouchun to Lujiang."

"Move the capital?" Cao Cao frowned slightly and began to think intently.

"Shouchun is adjacent to the three states of Yan, Xu and Yu, and is originally a place of four battles. The capital was set up in Shouchun, which is like guarding the border. Even if Liu Bei himself doesn't mind, the civil and military officials under his command will not agree..." He smiled.

Xun Yu stroked his beard and said, "Before, Liu Bei was attacked on both sides. There is no big difference between moving and not moving. But now that Jiangdong is pacified, the threat to the south has been eliminated. At this moment, the relocation is actually expected!"

"Yeah..." Cao Cao nodded and said in response, "What Wen Ruo said is the same as what I think."

"If it were just for safety reasons, Liu Bei should have moved his capital across the river. Why only move to Lujiang?" Cao Ren thought for a while and said in confusion.

"If I really moved across Jiang, Liu Xuande would not be worthy of being Cao's opponent!" Cao Cao said with a complicated expression.

.

"Prime Minister, You have a plan, maybe he can take the life of the Ma family's rebellious life without any effort..." Suddenly, Xu You said in a shocking voice.

"Oh~~?" Cao Cao looked at Xu You in surprise and asked curiously, "What are the good plans for Ziyuan?"

"A few days ago, Liu Bei sent an envoy to Xudu to Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei asked the emperor for his position as the former general and the right general..." Xu You held his short beard under his chin and said with a smile, "In your opinion, the Prime Minister can reply to Liu Bei with the emperor's imperial edict, saying that the Ma clan committed a serious crime of corruption and was punished by the three clans.

He also told Liu Bei that if he was willing to serve the heads of the Ma Dai brothers to the emperor, he could agree to his request for an official.

"Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all leaders who follow Liu Bei's plan to rebel. How can they be regarded as former generals and right generals?" Cao Hong opposed clearly.

"Precisely because Liu Bei was a traitor, if he was determined to be promoted to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's position, he could have placed the emperor beside him.

Therefore, the emperor Yun and Wu Yun were actually not very different from Liu Bei..." Xu You smiled sly and said, "Since Liu Bei made a statement himself, you might as well give it a try. If you succeed, you can take the opportunity to alienate the relationship between Liu Bei and Ma Dai.
