The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Jiujiang County, the new prefect Zheng Yi, whose courtesy name was Yien, was the only son of the great Confucian scholar Zheng Xuan. Unlike the historical figure who died while rescuing Kong Rong, Zheng Yi first served as a prefect in the northern hinterland, taking on the role of a hub connecting Taiyuan and Guanghe counties, and then went to Jizhou to serve as a prefect to help Jizhou recover after the war.

The purpose of coming to Jiujiang, the front line this time, is self-evident. The first two were about qualifications and resume, and this time it is about strength. As long as you do a good job, it is inevitable that you will enter the core in the future.

This time, Yuan Shu was eliminated and the most prosperous areas of Jiujiang County were destroyed. Zheng Yi took over the work and was extremely busy for a while, so the task of cleaning up the place was handed over to Zhang Liao.

Liu Yan, the Prince of Fuling, was the son of Emperor Guangwu. In the 30th year of Jianwu, he was given four counties in Runan: Changping, Xihua, Xinyang, and Fule. Yan was arrogant and extravagant by nature, and met with harsh treatment from his subordinates. During the Yongping period, he wrote a book and made prophecies, and performed sacrifices and curses. Emperor Xianzong saw that Yan's crimes were less serious than those of King Ying of Chu, so he showed special favor and moved him to the Prince of Fuling, with two counties. In the first year of Zhanghe, he was granted four more counties, and because Fuling was wet, the capital was moved to Shouchun.

As a descendant of King Fuling, Liu Ye naturally did not suffer from reckoning. Unlike in history, although Liu Ye served in the dynasties of Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Rui, and seemed to be reused, he never received real trust, and was even driven mad by anger, and finally died of grief and anger.

Liu Ye was a veteran of three dynasties of Cao Wei, with outstanding abilities, but his promotion speed was very slow. In 199, Liu Ye was appointed by Cao Cao as a warehouse official, and nine years later Sima Yi served as a literary official under Cao Cao, but Sima Yi surpassed Liu Ye. When Cao Pi ascended the throne, "Ye was appointed as the Palace Attendant and granted the title of Guannei Hou", while Sima Yi was granted the titles of "Supervisor of the Army, Chief Censor, and the title of Anguo Township Marquis", and "moved to Palace Attendant and Shangshu You Pushe".

Before Cao Pi died, he arranged four ministers to assist him, namely Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Chen Qun, and Sima Yi. After Emperor Ming of Wei ascended the throne, he conferred titles on the ministers. Liu Ye was only conferred the title of "Marquis of Dongting, with a fief of 300 households", and still served as the emperor's attendant, while Sima Yi's title was Marquis of Wuyang (Marquis of a county), and he was still one of the important ministers of Cao Wei, commanding a large number of troops. The highest official position Liu Ye held in his life was only the Grand Herald, one of the Nine Ministers, which was far from Sima Yi, Chen Qun and others.

Today, Liu Ye can be said to be a rising star in the empire. He not only studies in the academy, but also learns the art of war from Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others. Now that he has switched from military to politics, it can be said that Liu Ye is developing into an all-round talent. He married Cai Yan's sister. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this person is a leading figure among the relatives of the Han Dynasty in the future, so he should make friends with her as much as possible.

The Zhao family of Jiujiang was famous for their generals. Because of their rampant behavior, they were caught by Liu Han and the whole family was exiled to the northern border to eat sand.

The Zhu (Shi) family of Jiujiang has the "Ouyang Shangshu" passed down from generation to generation. This family has a grudge against Liu Han and is a former member of the Sun family. They have followed Sun Ce south to Jiangdong.

Zhu Zhi, courtesy name Junli, was from Guzhuang County, Danyang Prefecture.

Zhu Ran, whose original name was Shi Ran and whose courtesy name was Yifeng, was a native of Guzhang, Danyang, and the nephew of Zhu Zhi.

Shi Ji, courtesy name Gongxu, was from Guzhang, Danyang. His original name was Zhu Ji, the son of Zhu Ran.

The Zhao family of Shouchun has the same origin as the Shao family. They are descendants of Zhao Gongshi, and some of them passed down "Han Shi" and "Shang Shu".

The Shouchun Shen family and the Wucheng Shen family have the same ancestor. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turbans, Yuan Shu, and the people of Huainan fled to Wu. Almost all of them died or were injured and fled south to Wu. During the Three Kingdoms period, no one was active.

Among the aristocratic families in Jiujiang County, there are only three or two big cats left, so it is easy to clean them up. As for the surrendered generals, Zheng Yi has also made arrangements.

Yan Xiang and Han Yin were transferred to Sili, while Lei Bo and Qin Yi stayed with Zhang Liao as his generals.

"It's finally over."

After several months of fighting, Liu Han finally took off his armor and returned to Yecheng. Liu Han had previously planned to move the capital, and during the war with Yuan Shu, people in Jinyang began to move. Now, nearly five months have passed, and most people have moved to Yecheng.

"If there are still noble families, it will take another year or so to move to Yecheng."

Five years had passed since the purge of Jizhou. The Jizhou gentry had lost their voice and a large number of industries were left vacant. This enormous wealth fell into the hands of Liu Han, so before moving to Yecheng, Liu Han replanned Yecheng and distributed all the land and houses of the gentry to his civil and military officials.

Yecheng has already prospered under Lu Su's governance, and will reach even greater heights in the future.

"After the war, the situation became more complicated."

Yuan Shu fell, but there were more factions.

Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Bei of Nanyang, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong were the original princes. Now Lujiang has become Liu Xun's territory, and Sun Ce has emerged in Jiangdong.

And - Jiaozhou, Cao Cao is very likely in Jiaozhou, and the Sima family may also run there. "Headache."

Ever since the princes fought against Dong Zhuo, history has been changed beyond recognition, and it is impossible for Liu Han to follow history.

Looking at the label on the map, "Wenhe, Zhongde, what do you think we should do next?"

There were only three of them in this secret meeting room.

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said, "My lord, I think there are two choices."

"Oh? I'm all ears."

Jia Xu walked towards the map, "First, Lujiang."

On the map label, only Liu Xun of Lujiang is the softest persimmon, and it would be unfair to not pinch him. "If we take Lujiang, we will have an extra way to go west to Jingzhou or south to Jiangdong in the future."

Liyang is good, but it is shallow and not suitable for large-scale landing operations. Lujiang is different.

"What about the second?"

"Hanzhong."

"Zhang Lu?"

"Exactly."

None of the three are stupid. Zhang Lu can be said to be the second easy target. If he can take Hanzhong, Yizhou will not be a problem. If Liu Xun of Lujiang is a short-term concern, then Zhang Lu of Hanzhong is a long-term concern.

Cheng Yu asked, "It's not that easy to enter Hanzhong."

The Han Dynasty was in chaos, and Liu Han temporarily gave up control over Liangzhou in exchange for time to unify the Central Plains. Now, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Yizhou are in a state of balance. Once someone takes the initiative to break this balance, it is likely to cause a war that will affect the entire country.

"If we want to take Hanzhong, we must ensure that the food supply routes are unobstructed. If the Sanfu region sends troops, Liangzhou and even Jingzhou will not sit idly by..."

These few simple words made Liu Han think carefully.

If Lujiang is captured, Jingzhou and Jiangdong will be in a state of panic; if Hanzhong is captured, Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Jingzhou will all be worried. But Yuan Shu is dead, and he and Jiangdong have lost their strategic buffer, so the people in Jiangdong may also take advantage of the chaos.

In the end, Cheng Yu came up with a compromise, "My Lord, in my opinion, why don't we stop for half a year and wait for the right time?"

It's a good time to recuperate. It won't be a big deal to wait for half a year. What if there are changes?

"Send a message to Wenyuan, Jiujiang and Guangling must put enough pressure on the enemies in Yangzhou."

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu looked at each other and asked, "My lord, are you planning to make a feint to the east and attack in the west?"

"Well, I still want to take Hanzhong." (End of this chapter)
