Chapter 1318 Preparations for the Founding of a Nation

The decisive battle in the north is already inevitable. Not only Hebei has made preparations, but the court in the Central Plains has also made preparations.

Xu all.

On this day, the wind was sunny and the sky was cloudless.

Outside the eastern suburbs, the sound of footsteps was orderly and loud, back and forth, one by one in a square formation, more than a hundred thousand generals gathered, with awe-inspiring killing intent and surging momentum.

This is a swearing-in meeting.

On the swearing-in platform.

Cao Cao was dressed in military uniform and armor, and unfurled the Dragon Banner of the Han Dynasty. His voice was loud: "My sons, the Yuan family of Hebei, who stole the country and stood up, are also national thieves. Today, His Majesty has an order to order the lonely king to go out. If you are willing, follow the lonely Put down the rebellion and revive the prestige of the big man!"

"willing!"

"willing!"

There was a neat shout and drink, and it continued to reverberate.

on the city walls.

Liu Xie was wearing an ordinary white dragon fish suit, his eyes swept over, and his fists were slowly clenched: "Lengzi, do you think Cao Mengde is doing it for me to see?"

"Your Majesty, don't get angry, hold back!"

The young eunuch stood next to him and glanced around vigilantly. He always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, but he couldn't see them.

"I am the Son of Heaven. Even if I go to war, I should be the one who swears in his place and sends him to go. But now, he is ignoring the monarch, and his momentum is so powerful. This is revenge!"

Liu Xie gritted his teeth. Even if the city is deep, he is still a young man, and he couldn't bear it.

But helpless.

Because this is Xudu.

"Your Majesty, the sons of heaven are all His Majesty's. Now Your Majesty is in his youth. As long as His Majesty is willing to suffer slowly, he can kill them all!"

Leng Zi responded to the Son of Heaven in a low voice.

"is it?"

Liu Xie shook his head: "I'm afraid they won't give Zhen such a chance!"

"Your Majesty?" Leng Zi raised his head and glanced at the Son of Heaven.

"rest assured!"

Liu Xie waved his hand: "I know my position very well, I won't let them catch me!"

....................................

Yelou Yasi.

"The emperor went to see the lord's swearing-in?" Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly, a playful smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and he said to his subordinates: "Don't stare, pass this news to Xun Yu!"

"promise!"

The men took orders and left.

Only then did Jia Xu look at the young people around him, and asked, "Bo Ming, how many people do you think there are around the emperor?"

Son of Heaven, he has dealt with him more than once. When he was in Chang'an, assisting Dong Zhuo, he fought with Zhao Zhong, who was under the Son of Heaven.

Later, Zhao Zhong was wiped out by Jing Wusi.

The hidden guards around the emperor were much weaker, but after gaining a foothold in Xudu, Jia Xu had a vague feeling that the force still existed beside the emperor.

"Father, I think that there are not many people around the emperor, but the secrecy is very good!"

Jia Mu is Jia Xu's eldest son and also Jia Xu's most trusted confidant. He has always been by his father's side, learning his father's knowledge and ways of being a man, a cautious and shrewd young man.

"It is rumored that these people came out of the imperial mausoleum. When Zhao Zhong was here, they did find us a lot of things, but after Zhao Zhong died, they all fell silent!"

Jia Mu thought for a while and continued: "I suspect that they are not staying silent, but are using this time to train the dead. It's not difficult to kill someone who can turn Xu Capital City upside down, but it's difficult to find them!"

"It's a bit difficult to find out, but it's not difficult to let them jump out by themselves!"

Jia Xu sneered: "Wait for me to clear out the eyes and ears around the emperor one by one. What he hides the deepest will be exposed sooner or later!"

"Then what is father going to do?"

"This matter has to be done slowly!" Jia Xu waved his hand: "Now the lord and the emperor have reached a balance for the time being, the emperor is willing to let go, and the world is king, which is also the greatest determination for the lord to fight Hebei with peace of mind. At this time, My lord will not push the Son of Heaven too hard, and the Son of Heaven will not make trouble at this time, because the incident in the north will make them feel the same hatred!"

"Our main energy is still to find out news from Hebei!"

Jia Xu pondered for a while, and said: "Yelou's background is not as good as Jingwusi, and there are not many people I can trust. Bo Ming, this time, you go north to host it yourself. I want to be clear, that is Yuan Jun from Hebei Province." The weakest place, the transportation route and storage place of their food and grass, has been found out!"

"promise!"

Jamu surrendered.

..........................................

The Northern War is imminent.

However, Jiangdong and Southwest have begun to maintain a stable state.

Changsha would have been a bloody battle.

However, the sudden kingship made the battle in Changsha come to an end. The Jiangdong Army began to withdraw from the surrounding area of ​​Changsha, heading towards Jiaozhou.

It means stop fighting.

As for the Mu Jun, it's not that he doesn't want to pursue, but that he can't for the time being. Under normal circumstances, the Mu Jun will not suffer a loss, but now the Mu Jun has been rectified. They are all under rectification, and the combat effectiveness is about 50.00%.

If it is to encircle Changsha, it will naturally be a bloody battle to the end, but if it is an attack, forcing a war is not a good thing for the Violent Bear Army.

So I can only hold back this breath for now.

The news of Jiangdong's retreat took two days to reach Yudu.

Mu Jing was not surprised.

"Sun Wentai is treacherous enough!" Mu Jing sneered at this news in the lobby of Zhaoming Pavilion: "I picked up a prince for nothing, but I don't even want to spend any effort!"

"At this time, we have little chance of becoming an enemy of Cao Cao. Naturally, he has no need to waste his troops and hold us back. Even if he takes Changsha, he can only respond to our increase in troops, and it is difficult to make any progress. Unless he desperately pushes the main force up, then he wouldn't dare!"

Hu Zhao stood by, analyzed carefully, and smiled coldly: "At this time, it is the best choice for him to retreat!"

"Say so, but don't relax!"

Mu Jing said: "Let the Privy Council warn the three armies of the Violent Bear to be careful, strictly guard against it, and don't relax. If you cross the border by half a step, hit me, hit me hard!"

Jiang Dong came and left whenever he wanted, and they felt at ease, but they had never thought that their own discomfort, if not for the overall situation, Mu Jing would have declared war with Jiang Dong at this time.

"promise!"

Hu Zhao surrendered and took the order.

"How is the collection of public opinions regarding the founding of the country?" Mu Jing took a breath, and began to care about government affairs. The military is not the main topic at present, and killing people outside is just a response to Southwest, isn't it? Taking the initiative to provoke, the main energy of the Southwest at present is the implementation of the New Deal, the internal army consolidation, and the establishment of the country.

"Public opinion support is very high, even the Shihlin side expressed their support for our establishment of the country and self-government!"

Hu Zhao cupped his hands and reported.

"Can they forget the 400-year-old man?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes, his pupils flickering.

The foundation of the Han family is deep, and the common people naturally think that they are Han people and that the world is a big man. If you are a warlord, maybe they can take over, but if you openly establish a country, many people will think that you have betrayed the big man.

The common people don't have deep thinking, what they can see is only the bright side, who is sorry and who is helpless, it doesn't matter, what matters is whether you are a traitor or not.

In the 400 years of the Great Han Dynasty, people from generation to generation thought that they were Han people. Suddenly, one day, they said that it was no longer the case, and that the dynasty should be changed. There are many people who don't understand.

"The 400-year-old man has indeed a deep foundation, but sometimes he has to answer a sentence. Some things are very difficult to build, but they are extremely easy to destroy!"

Hu Zhao smiled wryly. His own mood was a little uneasy. After all, after studying for so many years, being loyal to a big man is already a deeply imprinted thing. Even if he was prepared, he still felt a little melancholy .

"The people yearn for the big man, but these years, what kind of life does the big man give the people? In the court, the foreign relatives are in control, the eunuchs are rampant, and they follow the example. Generations of bureaucrats are used to this. They just flatter their superiors and never care about the people. Life and death, you have to sell your sons and daughters in a good harvest year. If it comes to a disaster year, you will not be able to eat if you sell your sons and daughters. Troubled times have come, displaced people, fighting today, fighting tomorrow, fighting back and forth, a large number of dead, how many people live A little numb!"

Hu Zhao made a detailed analysis: "If they continue to live like this, they will endure it. As long as they live on, they will bear the big deal like this. But if there is a comparison, there will be harm!"

"During the years that our Minghou Mansion has been in power, we have attached great importance to agricultural development and cared about the lives of the people, and our evaluation of officials is based on the people's living standards. The style of muddling along, your words of parental officials, I don't know how many officials have been inspired!"

"Officials do things with heart, and the people below will naturally live a better life. In the long run, they will rely on us even more!"

"Now, if you say that the Minghou Mansion will withdraw from the southwest and return the ruling power to the imperial court, you can ask these people whether they are willing or not!"

"Thus, although some scholars complain about the matter of establishing a country, most people are willing to stand by our side!"

Hu Zhao sighed: "This also shows that what we have done all these years is right!"

Only by doing things can we know right and wrong.

It was his choice to follow Mujing. Back then, he only valued Mujing and was grateful, so he was willing to go out to help their father and son.

But I don't know whether my choice is right or wrong.

Even Wang Zuozhi's talented Xun Yu hesitated when he chose the leader. Back then, he voted for Hebei at the beginning, but it didn't take long for him to feel that he was wrong, and then he voted for Cao Cao.

Up to now, Hu Zhao believes that his decision to go out to assist Mu Jing was the most wise and powerful decision in his life.

After all these years, Hu Zhao watched Mu Jing step by step to the present.

Mu Jing has a lot of shortcomings.

But he can do things in a down-to-earth manner, whether it is fighting a war or managing government affairs, he is resistant to face-saving projects and is more willing to implement things.

And perhaps because he was born a bandit and experienced the sufferings of the world, his style of governing has always put the people first.

The words can be beautiful.

But there are not many people who can do things beautifully.

Mujing did it.

He did what he said.

"In the hearts of the common people, you are a wise master!" Hu Zhao added in a low voice: "So they are willing to support you, let alone establish a subordinate state of the imperial court. The reaction will not be very violent!"

"So I still have such a good reputation!"

Mu Jing touched his face, and became a little narcissistic: "It seems that the common people are still very discerning!"

When Hu Zhao heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Sometimes he also feels that this is a young man who will not grow up, too inconspicuous.

"The public opinion survey has preliminary results. Now there are only two things missing. One is the support of the military. I don't think there is a big problem in this regard!" Hu Zhao said: "I have probed the minds of some military officers. Let alone generals, even ordinary soldiers are the most supportive of us!"

"The other is the local officials!"

Hu Zhao squinted his eyes: "This is the most important point. First of all, they are all scholars. They read Confucianism. They all have attachments. They supported us in the past. That's because they always believed that no matter what we did, we came from the imperial court. , are all courtiers of the Han Dynasty, but now, once the country is established and independent, it can only go to the road of competing in the world in the future, which is tantamount to betraying the Han Dynasty. These officials, neither high nor low, are the pillars of our regime. If they If you are dissatisfied with you and let go of it, we may collapse, after all, they are the foundation of our management of the place!"

The state government is not afraid. At the current stage of the New Deal, every state focuses on the New Deal. The officials who took office have been replaced one after another, and they are basically the confidantes of the Minghou Mansion.

But the county government.

The county magistrate, the county magistrate, the county head book, the county lieutenant, the heads of all parties in the county government, etc., these officials are the foundation of governing a county.

If something goes wrong.

The whole county will be in chaos.

"Where is Liu Jin now?"

Mujing pondered for a moment and asked.

"It's back already!"

Hu Zhao said: "I want to build a dynasty, and the affairs are complicated, so let him rush back and prepare to preside over the political affairs hall!"

"No!"

Mu Jing said: "Give him the task, let him continue to inspect the name of the New Deal, visit various counties, and probe into the minds of some of these county officials. Only by knowing their minds can we deal with them well!"

"Row!"

Hu Zhao thought for a while, this is a very good way.

"Once the nation is established, we have to take the initiative!"

Mu Jing rubbed his temples, and said: "Foreign diplomacy, you must handle it well, at least you must get the approval of all the princes, everyone can live with face!"

"A mission to Jiangdong?"

"Not only Jiangdong, Youzhou, including the return visit to Xudu, have to go on a mission. To formally gain a foothold in the world, you need to be recognized by others, otherwise how can we establish diplomatic relations!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

The princes of all countries in the world have already established themselves, so it is natural to establish relationships. If the world is not unified for a day, the relationship will be complicated, and no one wants to be the target of public criticism.

"But our relationship with Jiangdong?"

"No matter how bad the relationship is, we must stay together!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "When it's time to start a war, naturally you won't be soft!"
