Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 877

In the dark palace, candlelight illuminates the map.On the huge Liaodong map, a zigzag line is drawn, representing the terrain of mountains and rivers, and densely packed place names are scattered among them.

Liu Chan looked at the map with his hands behind his waist, and asked, "Is there any battle report from Liaodong?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the governor of Liaodong has sent a military report. He will divide his troops into two routes, and the right general will go north to Youzhou. He will lead ten thousand people to ride away from Liaoze and arrive at Xuantu County. The target was Heshenggu City (Huanren County, Liaoning Province), the old capital. Jiang Huqi led an army across the sea to Liaodong County. Ji'an City)."

Fu Xuan read the battle reports from the east, and continued: "Liu Mao, the prefect of Lelang, did not listen to Du's advice and went to conquer the rebels in Dong'an. Liu Mao, the prefect of Lelang Liu Mao, died in battle, and Du led the soldiers of the two counties to defeat the Dongyi rebels."

There are 24 countries on the Korean Peninsula, including Chenhan, Dongyi, Mahan, and Bianchen. There are four to five thousand households in large countries and six to seven hundred households in small countries, with a total of four to fifty thousand households.

Among them, Chen Han was a native of the Central Plains who had fled during the Qin Dynasty. He had a city gate and a house, and the land was fertile and suitable for five grains.Bianchen is also a native of the Central Plains, and he surrendered to Chen Han.In history, Benjin and Jinhan jointly formed the Silla Kingdom, and staged the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the peninsula with Baekje and Goguryeo.

Ma Han is a local aborigine. Due to his low level of education and a loose tribal alliance, the level of organization is not as strong as that of Chen Han, and Puyu people went south.It gradually merged with the Fuyu people. Historically, he was the predecessor of the Baekje Kingdom, but the current Baekje Kingdom is only a tribal regime under the Mahan Alliance, not a national regime.

Generally speaking, in terms of high emotional intelligence, the Korean peninsula and Liaodong are ruled by a group of heroes, and the big powers are no more than Goguryeo, Puyu, and Dahan. Therefore, these small countries change their foreign policies as the power of Liaodong and the peninsula changes.For example, the prosperity of the Central Plains depends on the Central Plains, and the prosperity of Goguryeo depends on Goguryeo.

Fuyu was pressed and beaten by Goguryeo, and he was always looking forward to the Central Plains Dynasty's help.The last time Sima Yi destroyed Gongsun Yuan, Fu Yu sent troops and food to help Cao Wei.

The reason why Goguryeo went south to attack Daifang and Lelang is related to the growing power of the Han on the peninsula.During the Cao Wei period, he focused on the Central Plains and allowed Goguryeo to grow bigger, and Goguryeo also took the opportunity to conquer a number of small countries.

With Yan Yu, Du Yu and other big Han officials entering Liaodong to serve as officials, the big Han began to focus on business operations on the peninsula, and communicated with those small countries that surrendered to Goguryeo.Goguryeo felt threatened, so it went south to invade.However, under the circumstances of being unable to attack for a long time and supported by Yan Yu, Goguryeo withdrew its troops and returned home.

With the withdrawal of Goguryeo's troops, Du Yu and Liu Mao decided to take the lead in sending troops to deal with the small countries that surrendered to Goguryeo for the sake of the army's smooth march. Dongyi was the representative of them.

Liu Chan moved his fingers on the map according to the content of the battle report, and frowned slightly after hearing Liu Mao's battle.Liu Mao joined the army after recovering Longyou from the Han Dynasty. He was also a veteran of many battles. When he was appointed as the prefect of Lelang, he intended to value his military experience, but he did not expect to die on the battlefield.Instead, the inexperienced Du Yuniu turned the situation around.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chan said: "The battle is imminent, and Du Yu is ordered to temporarily take charge of the two counties and take care of Liu Mao's family."

"Report the situation of the Liaodong Army every day, and there must be no loss!"

"promise!"

After speaking, Liu Chan set his sights on the Korean Peninsula again.Conquering Goguryeo was only half of Liu Chan's plan. Liu Chan's ultimate goal was to turn the Korean peninsula into prefectures and counties.

Today's Korean peninsula is still in a semi-union and half-state system, if it follows the history.With the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains fell into 300 years of war.

The rise of Goguryeo in Liaodong is absorbing the knowledge of the Central Plains dynasty, reforming and centralizing power.Goguryeo then grew stronger, entered the peninsula eastward, and unified most of the peninsula.At the same time, Baekje and Silla on the peninsula also rose up, established their own countries, and launched a three-country confrontation with Goguryeo.

Today's tribal alliances on the peninsula live by farming and settle down. They have been influenced by the civilization of the Central Plains for a long time and have a certain civilization.However, no unified country was born, and it lacked organization, which belonged to the embryonic period of feudal nationalization.

This period is not only conducive to the internal feudalization of the alliance tribes, but also conducive to the rule of foreign countries.In other words, if North Korea is to be brought under the rule of the Central Plains, now is the best time.

In this battle, the Han Dynasty destroyed the external force Goguryeo and promoted the national prestige of the Han Dynasty, so there was no power to prevent the Han Dynasty from unifying the peninsula and transforming it into counties.

Just when Liu Chan finished handling the Liaodong war, the attendant reported, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is seeking an audience."

"Xuan!"

Liu Chan ordered people to withdraw the map and let the prince enter the palace.

"My son pays homage to His Majesty!" Prince Liu Zhen said respectfully.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Chan looked at the bearded prince in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "In recent years, you have become more stable, you have handled the state affairs well, and you can tell right from wrong. Last time you went to appease Wu and Yue, and you did a great job. Not only appease the Jiangzuo gentry, but also moved them to Guanzhong, enriching the population of my big man in Guanzhong."

After a pause, Liu Chan changed the topic again and asked, "I heard that the crown prince often communicates with Jiangdong scholars, but is that so?"

Liu Sui raised his head and glanced at Liu Chan slightly, then lowered his head again, and replied seriously: "My minister is just doing his own thing, and Ge Xiangzhou is often there to help me, so I dare not be greedy for credit."

After speaking, Liu Sui hesitated for a while, and replied: "When I appeased Jiangzuo, I found that Jiangzuo also has great talents, so I recruited wise men, invited them as guests, and recommended the court to help me rule the world."

Liu Sui followed Liu Chan's edict to appease Jiangdong, and he went with the idea of ​​recruiting talents deep in his heart.As soon as the whole country of Wu and Yue surrendered, the civil and military ministers were panicked. Seeing that the person who came was the prince, they rushed forward to try to make friends with Liu Zhen.

Under the agreement of the two parties, Liu Sui recruited a group of talents from the Jiangdong gentry, among which Lu Kang, Shi Ji, Lou Xuan, Xue Ying and others were the most outstanding young men and women.After returning to China, Liu Sui also recommended a group of talents from Wu and Yue to the court, and all of them were hired by Guan Xing.

Liu Chan's face didn't change, but he just handed over the imperial edict that Que Zheng had just written to Liu Zhen.

Liu Sui looked at the edict with curious eyes. Just after reading the beginning of the edict, his face changed drastically, and he peeked at the emperor sitting on the couch.

Liu Chan sipped his tea, as if immersed in the aroma of tea.

There was silence between father and son. Liu Zhen held the edict for a long time and could not answer. In the edict, it was Liu Chan who issued the order for the great man to spend the land in Yangzhou and complete the order of the great man's land administration. The executor was Prince Liu Zhen himself.

Liu Chan was about to implement Tianzheng, but his first step was not to attack the Central Plains, but to attack the old land of Wu State.Yangzhou will serve as a test field for Dahan Tianzheng and learn from it.Then push Tian Zheng to the Central Plains, and even the Han Dynasty.

After a while, Liu Chan put down the teacup and asked, "I wonder if the prince is up to the task?"

Liu Chan didn't give the prince room to bargain, but just asked him if he was competent.

Liu Sui breathed out a foul breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice, "I would like to receive the imperial edict."

A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Chan's mouth, and he said: "This time, Yuan Hong will lead the Chinese army with [-] infantry and cavalry, accompanied by [-] troops from Jingzhou and Xiangzhou prefectures. If the crown prince has any urgent matters, please inform Yuan Hong and ask him to send troops to assist. "

There is no doubt that the [-] army is Liu Chan's preparation to deal with a possible rebellion in Yangzhou.After all, according to Liu Xiu's lessons learned, if the soldiers and horses are not arranged in advance, it may be too late.

"No!" Liu Zhen replied.

After resigning from the palace, Liu Sui kept his demeanor as much as possible.It wasn't until he returned to the mansion that his expression completely relaxed.

Guan Tong, who was befriended by the prince, asked, "Why is the prince's color abnormal?"

Liu Sui sighed and said, "Father ordered me to go south to Yangzhou to spend the land and implement the land administration."

"This?"

Guan Tong felt a little troubled, and said: "It has been difficult to save the land in the past dynasties. If the crown prince is worried about this, I may ask a certain father to come forward to persuade His Majesty."

"No!" Lu Kang categorically vetoed it, saying, "The matter of saving the land is not only a matter for His Majesty to assess the crown prince, but also a matter for His Majesty to rule the world. If you let Guan choose Cao into the palace to persuade him, it will not only be difficult to protect your father's official position, Even the prince will be reprimanded by His Majesty."

Lu Kang looked at the crown prince Liu Zhen, cupped his hands and said, "The crown prince should put the edict above all else and not lose His Majesty's heart. As for the matter of saving the land, it involves a lot of things, and the crown prince can do his best."

"Yeah!" Liu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and replied.
