Although she was newlywed and the bride was charming, Song Yu was not addicted to it.````

After accompanying the wife a little, she poured her mind into political affairs.

"How did the lord talk with the envoys of the states?"

In the study, Meng Zhu asked.

During this wedding, Song Yu had envoys from various states. After the ceremony, they handed out letters, hoping to have a secret talk. Song Yu has been busy with this matter these days.

"It's just a test of Gu's intentions, and then make an appointment with some offensive and defensive alliances..." Song Yu played with Yu Ruyi in his hand and sneered: "It's just a verbal promise, without any credit, so Gu just said perfunctory. Anyway, in the end, he still has to fight!"

In troubled times, strength is the most important thing. Even if it is an ally, once the strength is insufficient and the foreign enemies are not destroyed, your so-called ally will take action secretly.

"My lord said it is right!" Meng Zhuxingli.

"But Zhou Yu, the Grand Governor of Jingzhou, not only has the envoy to the future, but also has no gifts and letters. It seems that he has completely broken up..."

Not every state has people coming to Song Yu’s wedding this time. For example, several states in the north are close to the grasslands and the journey is long when the Hu people invade, so the messenger may not arrive in a few months.

But Jingzhou is on the verge of Wuzhou, which is not the reason for the journey.

"Zhou Yu's army attacked Jiangling at a critical moment, and there was no time to take care of him. Besides, the next step for me must be to take Jingzhou. It would be strange if he could have a good face!" Song Yu was very open about this. Both sides were about to become enemies, would he still give him a face?

After winning Wuzhou, there are only three ways to make progress.

First, he crossed the Yangtze River and attacked Xuzhou, and then peeked into the Central Plains. Not to mention the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, he was still a little weak in his own strength. So he would not humiliate himself.

Second, they went south to attack Jiaozhou. Jiaozhou had very few troops and was extremely easy to attack. Unfortunately, the area was remote and there was a lot of miasma. The army was not accommodating and there was no benefit.

In the end, only Jingzhou was left.

Those who have always originated in the south have never been able to lose Jingzhou and gain a long time. If Song Yu wants to have a long foundation, Jingzhou and even Shu must be taken down to protect himself by relying on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, accumulate strength, and then compete with the Taishang Dao.

I have to say that the last time Mengxian Zhenren left a very deep impression on Song Yu.

Moreover, from Mengxian's words and deeds, Song Yu vaguely smelled an unfathomable breath of conspiracy.

"What the lord said is very true!" For this strategic choice, subordinates only have to make suggestions. This has to be followed for a long time, otherwise it will be an unexpected intention.

Meng Zhu wanted to give some advice, but now he saw that his lord chose Jingzhou, which was consistent with his plan. He couldn't help but feel relieved.

"It's just common sense to get Wu Wangjing! How is the battle with Zhou Yu?" Song Yu asked with a smile.

"Zhou Yu's army surrounded Jiangling. It has been more than half a year since then. It is said that both sides have suffered heavy losses, but there have been news of a shortage of food and grass in Jiangling. If there is no external force involved, it should be supported this year!"

This was the norm for siege in ancient times. In addition to offering the city, it took a long time to truly capture a city. It often took several years to fight. Only when the food in the city was cut off can it be taken down in one fell swoop.

"As soon as Jiangling fell, half of Jingzhou was in Zhou Yu's hands, only near Xiangyang City, and there was still some resistance. What actions did Zhou Yu have done recently?"

This was originally the information of the Jinyiwei, but Meng Zhu also saw it, and his face was a little heavy at this time. "According to the information provided by the Jinyiwei, my subordinates estimate that Zhou Yu wants to be a marquis this time!"

"Accusing a marquis... this is a decisive intention!" Song Yu's face was also a little unfair.

The princes from all sides officially proclaimed the king, which means the most intense moment of fighting for dragons in the world is coming.

Although Song Yu tried every means to win time, he only took the lead. If he didn't pay attention, he would be overtaken by later generations.

"Not bad! Zhou Yu is located in Jingzhou. If he is called marquis, he must take the word 'Chu' and call him Chu Hou!" Meng Zhu added.

This is called Hou Jianguo, which completely transformed his rule into private ownership. As long as he survived the backlash, the luck he brought about was several times increased. Song Yu himself experienced it once, so he naturally understood it.

"You can't let Zhou Yu develop anymore!" Song Yu's eyes shot out with determination.

If Jingzhou is unified, the difficulty of this strategy will increase exponentially.

"How is the contact between the Jingzhou family?"

"Emperor Yiwei and Baiyunguan are both trying, but few are willing to join us. After all, they are foreign forces..."

Speaking of this, Meng Zhu smiled bitterly.

Song Yu was also a little gloomy. The regional concepts of each state were very strong, and the villagers rarely left their hometowns. The xenophobic mentality brought about was beyond imagination. Even later generations, migrant workers from other places would be somewhat excluded, and even more so in ancient times.

Before Song Yu showed his overwhelming power, it would be very difficult to give up Zhou Yu and turn to his arms!

"I have just unified Wuzhou. At least I can't move a lot next year and must rest and recuperate!" Song Yu walked, "But you can't do nothing! You still have to put it in secret. You should buy what officials should buy, and don't be stingy with gold and silver!"

"No!" Meng Zhu bowed.

"Now, I can only hope that Xiangyang can last longer and buy time for me. When necessary, I can provide material support!"

Song Yu looked up at the direction of Xiangyang and murmured.

Xiangyang is a famous city in the world. The height of the city wall is still above Jianye and has always been a must-have reputation.

Throughout this world, except for Neiyingxian City, Xiangyang City has no record of being directly breached.

Facing this majestic pass, even Zhou Yu, the Jingzhou Qianlong, would have to work hard!

"The garrison of Xiangyang is still a courtier, and he was transferred from the north again. I believe he would not surrender to Zhou Yu!" Meng Zhu knew Song Yu's thoughts and explained.

"That's good!" Song Yu sat back on his seat and picked up the teacup on the table.

"After the orphan, he will also be called Duke of Wu! At that time, the doctor of the Sixth Division will be the first rank, and they will be the fifth rank officials!"

These Six Divisions are the prototype of the six divisions in the future. Of course, the grade cannot be too low. This is only the first time. When Song Yu becomes king, he will be promoted to the third rank. In this way, when he finally becomes emperor, he can follow the trend and become a central hub and manage national affairs.

This time, Song Yu met with the doctors of each department and found that after his luck increased greatly, their natals also changed. At least they had no problem as the fifth rank.

Meng Zhu immediately knelt down: "The lord has been in charge of the matter since the lord's rebellion, and has brought 100,000 armored horses and thousands of iron cavalry. The people have all won it. This is because the heavenly entrusted the lord. It is better to pursue the throne, respond to the decree of heaven, and be in line with the hearts of the people."

"It's right!" Song Yu smiled and saw Meng Zhu's golden natal swaying, faintly revealing green light. He was originally a talent of the golden natal, and it was naturally very hard to improve to green. Now he just has this trend.

Compared to Song Si and others who have just been promoted to the Golden Native, they are one step ahead.

Song Yu nodded and took stock of the talents under his command.

As for civil servants, He Dongming was born with a pure and starry sky, but he lacked some experience, and was a talent that needs to be cultivated later!

After that, it was Meng Zhu, Shen Wenbin and others who had only golden destiny, still had room for ascent.

As for the generals, Ye Hongyan, Luo Bin and others can also stand alone after transformation. In addition, Ye Hongyan's nephew Ye Jianfeng is also worth looking forward to.

These are all the generals with green destiny and future generals!

"I don't want to see a lot of talents gathered under my command. It seems that Wuzhou's dragon spirit is favored, and it is true that everything is going well!"

Song Yu was thinking.

"Although civil officials are somewhat lacking, they are called the Queen of the Public, and they have all their status and strengths, and have a solid foundation. They can simplify the imperial examinations in their previous lives and use them. Wuzhou is one of the Jiuzhous of the Great Campaign, and they can always find some talents!"

Although establishing an imperial examination system will definitely offend aristocratic families, Song Yuyi started from scratch and was not disturbed by external interference. He also destroyed all the private soldiers of the northern families, and was fearless. Once the imperial examination system was released, everyone in the world would know that Song Yu selected talents in a non-conventional manner, which would attract scholars from poor farmers to join him.

Of course, establishing the imperial examination system does not mean that all the previous recommendation system will be abolished.

If you step too much, you will definitely fall. Many subordinates follow Song Yu to help their descendants in the future?

Song Yu could not ignore this. It can be foreseen that for a long time afterwards, the imperial examination system, like the Political Affairs Hall, was just a supplement to the recommendation system.

"In terms of the army, it can be called a gathering of generals!" Because Song Yu started his career with the army and then made great efforts to train him. Today, the army is a top-notch elite, both soldiers and generals.

But the navy was very embarrassed.

When Song Yu thought of this, he asked: "How is Hong Quan's navy in Poyang Lake practicing?"

Meng Zhu had already used to the lord's jumping thinking, and instantly passed the official document in his mind and reported: "The big families of Lai lord Tianwei, Yuzhang and Hongze are all offering big ships and supporting supplies. The people of Wubei are familiar with the water nature, and they have been recruited by the Wu navy. So far, 20,000 people have been recruited. Governor Hong is strictly trained..."

Song Yu used his troops to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. He knew that his navy was not in line and did not fight the enemy at all. The army rushed to the land strongholds and captured the various prefectures. The navy lost its foundation and naturally had to surrender.

"But are the navy in Wu surrendering one after another? I'm afraid there is also the work of the father-in-law who is alone!" Song Yu touched his chin and was a little amused.

"The lord married the daughter of Duke Jingguo, and he was extremely wise!" Meng Zhu was a little puzzled by Song Yu's previous failure to marry his wife, but now he knows the true meaning.

Thinking that when he was still in Wu Nan, Song Yu was already sure of the situation today, and he couldn't help but feel a little unfathomable.

"The Gu and Bao families are just getting what they need!"

Song Yu said, but since marrying Miss Bao, it has indeed benefited him very much.

The most important point is to improve family status and fame!

The Bao family has been passed down for thousands of years and is famous all over the world. It is a noble family in aristocratic family, and sometimes even the emperor cannot do anything to him.

Song Yu's family background is low. Although he has military power and no one dares to resist, he is often dissatisfied.
