The first thousand seven hundred and eighty-fifth chapters

No matter how Lu Su reflected on himself in the room.

Liu Yu brought a large number of civil and military officials to the largest mansion in Lingyang City.

After the war, Liu Jun soldiers quickly occupied the entire city. The people were very obedient and hid in their houses and did not come out. This huge mansion was originally a place where the prefect was living, but now the prefect has long died in battle and was directly requisitioned by Liu Jun.

Liu Yu led so many people here, so he must hold a conference. There is only one mansion in the entire Lingyang City that can be used.

Although it's a little shabby, it's just right.

Liu Yu sat in the main seat casually, with civil and military officials sitting upright.

"In this battle, my original intention was to defeat Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but I never thought that these two people would escape from Lingyang City. Now that these two people are heading north, I sent Zhang He to pursue him, and Shu Shu Lu Bu, Guan Yu and others to intercept him. The battle to destroy Wu has been for several months. If it continues, the treasury will not be able to support it. Do you have any good plans?" Liu Yu spoke.

The war has been a bit too long. The Shenwu court is huge, but it does not mean that it is sufficient money and food to support the subsequent war. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu devoted all the power of the entire Eastern Wu to fight against Liu Yu. Except for the few counties captured by the surprise attacks before, the other cities were almost nothing, but instead they had to provide food for the survival of the local people. If this continues, let alone the war, it is good to not be exhausted.

The questions raised by Liu Yu were very serious, and everyone fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, since Sun Ce arbitrarily claimed to be the Lord, the Eastern Wu has been calculating the treasury of the court. Now the treasury is empty, which makes our army insufficient money and food, but the Eastern Wu does not have much strength to resist. I think that if you only need to persist for ten months, you will be able to kill Sun Ce and Zhou Yu and take down the entire Eastern Wu." Cao Cao's tone was very firm.

Cao Cao was naturally very clear about the situation in the court. But the war has come to this point, so he must not give up because of the money and food issue. In marching and fighting, the problem of food shortage has always existed.

At the same time, Cao Cao also understood Liu Yu's concerns. The soldiers had to have enough food, but the people of Eastern Wu also had enough food to survive. If the food was really insufficient, let alone whether the soldiers would have any objections, the people of Eastern Wu would also have complaints about the court. No kindness is as important as allowing the people to survive.

"Your Majesty, there are many aristocratic families in the Eastern Wu territory. If you have the food and grass, you can buy it here!" Guo Jia was a ruthless man, so he immediately proposed a ruthless move.

The people around him frowned a little. The matter of robbing the rich and helping the poor is absolutely just. But will it cause unnecessary rebound to attack the aristocratic families of the Eastern Wu now?

Liu Yu pondered for a moment, looked at Lu Xun who was sitting at the end, and asked, "Boyan, what do you think?"

As a member of the Lu family of the four major families of the Eastern Wu, Liu Yu asked him what he meant. Everyone also understood that Lu Xun, as the four major families of the Eastern Wu, had the most say.

Lu Xun said firmly: "The court has what it needs, and the subjects of the world should serve the court. I think what Lord Guo Jijiu said is great kindness!"

Liu Yu needed Lu Xun to express his opinion, and Lu Xun also needed Lu Xun as the leader of the aristocratic families in the Eastern Wu territory. This was consistent with Liu Yu's previous plan. As long as Lu Xun agreed, Lu Xun could directly become a representative figure of the Eastern Wu forces in the Shenwu court in the future. Assuming that once Lu Xun said something tactful and ruling reason to convince Liu Yu not to attack the aristocratic families in the Eastern Wu territory, it means that Lu Xun automatically gave up his qualification to become a representative figure of the Eastern Wu territory.

Obviously, Lu Xun is very smart, and he mainly agrees.

Only fools will object! Lu Xun sees it very clearly. If the court wants to attack the aristocratic families of the Eastern Wu, what can even be the aristocratic families of the Eastern Wu unite? Together, they can't even beat Sun Ce, how much trouble can they cause to the huge Shenwu court? Lu Xun thinks this is simply a free score question and there is no need to make other choices.

Even Lu Xun guessed that Liu Yu didn't ask others, but just asked himself that the intention was quite profound, which was definitely related to the future of himself and the Lu family. As long as it was useful to him and the Lu family, no matter what good results would be for his other aristocratic families.

"Bo Yan understands the righteousness deeply! It's really rare." Liu Yu was very satisfied with Lu Xun's statement. He got the result he wanted. "It's rare to be talented. I have always been eager to seek talent. I pass on my will and grant Lu Xun Lu Boyan the Central Secretariat!"

Lu Xun made the right choice, so Liu Yu naturally had to give some benefits. A Zhongshu Ling, both big and small, just suitable for Lu Xun.

"I thank you for your kindness!" Lu Xun bowed to Liu Yu excitedly.

As long as talents who are loyal to the court are really valued by Liu Yu. The imperial court's Secretariat Ling is a high-ranking official, second only to the Secret Ling. Many families have fought for several generations and cannot get into this position. The young Lu Xun only made a choice and got such a big gain. It is false to say that he is not excited.

Everyone looked at Lu Xun with admiration. He was born in the Eastern Wu, but his vision was not limited due to his background. He made the right choice. He was a talent and deserved to be valued by His Majesty. Cao Cao and Xun Yu looked at Lu Xun deeply, feeling that this young man was not simple.

Lu Xun was excited and knew what he wanted to do. Of course, the issue of preparing money and food in Dongwu fell on him.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to do my best to alleviate the burden of money and food for the court." Lu Xun took the initiative to stand up.

Liu Yu glanced at Lu Xun with appreciation. Talents are indeed talents, and they know the meaning without saying it.

"So great! Zhongyun!" Liu Yu gave Li Gui a wink, and Li Gui immediately took out a short sword. "I give you the right to act cheaply in Eastern Wu. If you dare to violate the orders of the court in Eastern Wu, you can kill first and then report!"

This short sword is something that Liu Yu had prepared long ago, and was placed on Li Gui before. He gave it to Lu Xun as a token, just like a Shangfang sword!

Cao Cao didn't even see it. Why did Liu Yu always use this trick? Before, when he went to war, Liu Yu gave the Snake Sword. Cao Cao tried his best to do things for Liu Yu. After that, Liu Yu came here to take down the power of commanding the army and took away the Snake Sword. Cao Cao knew that Liu Yu was just asking Lu Xun to do it desperately, and if something happened, Lu Xun would end up in front of him.

Lu Xun excitedly stepped forward and took the short sword down.

The short sword's scabbard is engraved with "The Emperor's Gift", which is obviously Liu Yu has prepared for a long time. When he thought of this, Lu Xun's face immediately became serious. Liu Yu's plan to deal with the Eastern Wu family was established, and Lu Xun was just an executor.

"It turns out that Your Majesty has already thought about it. There may be more plans in it!" Lu Xun thought carefully in his heart.

After the matter of the Eastern Wu was resolved, Xun Yu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you can order Jingzhou and Yizhou and other wealthy places to purchase grain from the people, and then transport it to the Eastern Wu. Now in the battle of Lingyang City, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce fled in a hurry, and Lu Su was awarded the title of head. The Eastern Wu was no longer able to launch a strong counterattack against the court. I suggest that officials from Jingzhou, Yuzhou and other places be dispatched to Xinguidi to organize the people to cultivate. The grain is provided by the court and encourage farming. I have also listed other measures, please ask Your Majesty to read it."

Xun Yu took out a memorial from his cuff and handed it out respectfully.

Xun Yu was a good internal affairs expert, and his method was to address the future situation. The Eastern Wu had become a war, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a miserable person. The court tried its best to maintain the stability of the Eastern Wu in a short period of time. However, if the Eastern Wu is in a long-term stability, restoring farming is a necessary measure, and it is very urgent.

Except for those who were familiar with Xun Yu, such as Cao Cao and Guo Jia, everyone else looked at Xun Yu in shock. This was too fast, so they took out the memorial after saying that.

This is Wen Ruogong's basic operation.

After the war started, Xun Yu kept thinking about how to quickly restore the people's livelihood of the Eastern Wu after the war. The memorial in Xun Yu also involved measures such as government, taxes, merchants, public security, etc., which were very detailed.

Liu Yu took Xun Yu's memorial and read it very carefully, feeling quite satisfied. Xun Yu has the title of "The Talent of King and Master", which is not false.

"Accurate! Wen Ruo is responsible for this matter." Liu Yu opened his mouth.

Xun Yu received the order grandly, and this kind of thing was very simple for him. Xun Yu then stood aside and Guo Jia quietly gave him a thumbs up.

Nothing else, Guo Jia praised Xun Yu and his cooperation.

Xun Yu has made so much preparations, why didn’t he speak after Cao Cao finished speaking?

This shows Xun Yu's political wisdom. Xun Yu observed something wrong from Liu Yu's expression, which made Xun Yu prepare to wait and see. He was not afraid that others would say the same countermeasures as him. Anyway, it was all for the sake of the Han Dynasty, and Xun Yu felt that it didn't matter whether he was preempted by someone or not.

Guo Jia took the lead in giving advice to the great clan of the Eastern Wu family. After careful observation, Xun Yu found that this was what Liu Yu wanted, so after Lu Xun and others finished the operation, Xun Yu knew that it was time for him to stand up.

After some operation, Xun Yu achieved his goal and satisfied Liu Yu again, with the best of both worlds.

"Your Majesty, I think it is known to the world that the news of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's defeat and escape are widely known." Cao Zhang, the boy, suddenly spoke.

Liu Yu smiled as soon as he saw it. This kid wanted to show himself.

Cao Cao shaved Cao Zhang fiercely, and he had such a kid's way of cheating on his father.

There are so many capable ministers and generals present, but you, Cao Zhang, are just a junior. It sounds nice and dare to speak out, but it sounds bad that Cao Cao is incompetent in educating his children, and Cao Zhang is ignorant. Look at Cao Ang, sit upright, listen to everyone's opinions and pay attention to everyone's expression changes. This is the style that a junior should have. Cao Cao regrets bringing Cao Zhang out this time.

Fortunately, from Liu Yu to the new Lu Xun, no one had any opinions about Cao Zhang.

"Ziwen, what he said is right. Zhongyun immediately told the world. At the same time, he added one to capture and kill Sun Ce and grant Wanhu Marquis a title." Liu Yu said.

Cao Zhang was praised by Liu Yu, touched his head and smiled. This kid was just a donkey, just praise him a few more words. Cao Cao vowed to teach Cao Zhang well after he went back so that he would not continue to embarrass him.

"Marquis of Wanhu!" Everyone's heart was full of passion.

Since the revival of Guangwu, the highest title of the foreign lord in the Han Dynasty was the Marquis. Marquis also had a high or low level. The highest of them was the fief of ten thousand households, referred to as the "Wanhu Hou". In other words, you are not a relative of the Han Dynasty, and within the system, you are considered the most awesome existence.

Of course, it is not impossible to be called public and king, but there are many difficulties.

In order to become a marquis, many people will never forget their struggles. Now, as long as they capture and kill Sun Ce, the difficulty is greatly reduced.

Before, Sun Ce was captured and killed, but he was just a marquis. Now Liu Yu has increased his rank.

In Liu Yu's opinion, the consequences of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's escape were very serious. If Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not do anything and directly led the remnants to hide in the deep mountains and forests and fight against Liu Jun, almost the entire Eastern Wu would be in great trouble for a long time in the future.

During the Taizu period in later generations, there were guns, shells, and bandit suppression were all sacrificed. In the era of cold weapons, Liu Yu did not feel that he could perfectly eliminate the remnants of the Eastern Wu troops hiding in the mountains and forests.

But the situation is different after the reward of Wanhuhou. Human nature is selfish. On the one hand, he will continue to survive with Sun Ce without a future, and will also implicate his descendants. On the other hand, he will take Sun Ce and become a hero in the court, and his descendants will benefit from it. Anyone will think about it carefully.

Liu Yu believes that as long as his decree is issued, countless people will be eager to try it out, especially those around Sun Ce!

Killing someone to kill his heart is the best strategy.

Compared to letting Sun Ce and Zhou Yu make trouble in the future, the court has to invest a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. What is a mere 10,000-house marquis? And in fact, whether to give it or not is not Liu Yu’s final say.

This is a business without credit.

Li Gui quickly drafted the decree, and soon he completed the decree to the world.

After Liu Yu added the seal, Li Gui immediately arranged people to announce the world.

After that, after this decree was announced to the world, the entire Eastern Wu caused a sensation. People who were interested in the Eastern Wu were very enthusiastic about the reward of Wanhuhou. Some Eastern Wu people who were capable and willing to serve the court learned that the Eastern Wu was defeated in the Battle of Lingyang City, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were defeated and fled, they were completely relaxed. The defeat of Eastern Wu was decided, and the court would unify the world. If they wanted to please the court, or take the opportunity to take the throne, wouldn’t Sun Ce and Zhou Yu be the best example of the nomination?:

So, the interested people from Dongwu who received the news began to take action. They were no longer afraid of Sun Ce's pressure.
