Soldiers come to the world

At night, Liu Jing inspected the vajra chain Tao Lie gave to his son in the study. His wife said it was a family heirloom of the Tao family, which aroused Liu Jing's interest.

The bracelet is made of pure gold, inlaid with nine diamonds the size of pigeon eggs, divided into four colors: pink, light yellow, azure blue, and colorless. Liancheng is unique in the world.

But what Liu Jing is interested in is the unique identity of the bracelet, which is actually the beloved item of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the treasure of the emperor, but. ． ． ． ．How do you know this is Liu Xiu's property?

At this time, Tao Zhan came forward with a cup of tea, and smiled sweetly: "I remember playing with this treasure chain when I was a child, it seems that there is a mystery in the lid."

'cover? Liu Jing rummaged around again, only to find that there was a small flip cover at the mouth of the bracelet, which was hard to find without paying attention. He opened the cover carefully, and saw the word '御' engraved on the inner wall.

"Husband really wants to accept this treasure chain for Zhi'er?"

Tao Zhan originally wanted to return the treasure chain to her father, but his father refused to accept it, so she had to bring it back to her home, but she didn't want her son to have such a valuable thing, so it was best to return it to the Tao family.

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "Since it belongs to Emperor Guangwu, the Tao family really can't have it, but I can't take it for the time being."

"Then what is your husband going to do with it?" Tao Zhan asked puzzled.

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "I plan to dedicate it to today's emperor, to show my determination."

Tao Zhan was not very willing. After all, it was the Tao family's heirloom, but her husband wanted to present it to the puppet emperor. But she also knew that her husband's move must have deep meaning, so Tao Zhan said in a low voice: " Husband decides for himself! I have no objection."

Liu Jing understood his wife's thoughts, gently hugged his wife into his arms, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry! This bracelet is not food, if you eat it, it will disappear. It will stay there and will not disappear."

Tao Zhan put his face on her husband's chest and nodded lightly. At this moment, the housekeeper's voice came from outside the door, "Master, the housekeeper said that there is a visitor outside the house. It is the Prime Minister of the academy."

"Take him to the guest room and wait for me. I'll be right there."

Liu Jing got up and put on a coat, and Tao Zhan adjusted the collar for him, then left the study and went to the living room. ． ． ． ． ．

In the living room, a literati in his thirties was restlessly drinking tea and waiting. Compared with ordinary scholars, he was a little more shrewd than ordinary scholars. His name was Jin Jiong, he was the Chancellor of Jiangxia Academy, He is responsible for managing daily chores, and he is responsible for the entire operation of the academy.

Mr. Pang De only cares about teaching and educating people, and doesn’t care about the affairs of the academy. Although Kuai Liang is called the head of the academy, he actually doesn’t care about the affairs. .

At this time, Liu Jing walked into the living room, and Jin Jiong quickly stepped forward and bowed to salute, "See the state pastor for a humble job!"

"Yuancheng, you are welcome, please sit down."

Jiang Xia Yuan Cheng is only a minor official, he is not qualified to visit Zhou Mu, he was ordered by Liu Jing, about seven days ago, Liu Jing got a letter from Sima Yi's family, it was written by Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, Sima Yi's wife Unfortunately, he died of puerperal fever due to being imprisoned. Although his son survived, his body was also extremely emaciated, and he is now being taken care of by his grandfather temporarily.

Jin Jiong sat down and said: "The humble official has sent the letter to Sima Yi seven days ago according to the order of the state pastor."

"How is he doing now?" Liu Jing asked.

"He locked himself in his room for five days, and finally showed up yesterday. It can be seen that he is in a good state of mind. He also visited Pang Gong and Master Kuai yesterday. According to Master Kuai, they had a very happy conversation. "

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, this Sima Yi is really powerful, and he took this opportunity to express his feelings to himself, in fact, Liu Jing knew that Sima Yi had been paying attention to the Battle of Chibi, and when the general situation of the Battle of Chibi was decided, Sima Yi used Xu Shu's mouth to express made his concession.

What Jia Xu said was really good. This Sima Yi is not someone who can persuade him. He must rely on strength to win. As long as he is strong enough, he will naturally join him. This time Jiang Xia's army defeated Cao Jun, and Sima Yi saw Jiang Xia's hope. There is still a gap between them.

To put it bluntly, both sides need a step, and at this time, the death of Sima Yi's wife is the best step. Sima Yi wants to avenge Cao Pi for killing his wife. At the same time, Liu Jing doesn't have to worry about Sima Zhao being born.

Liu Jing nodded, smiled approvingly and said, "You did a great job, I will credit you this time."

Jin Jiong was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "There is one more thing, I have to report to the state pastor for my humble position."

"Say it!" Liu Jing said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

"This morning the Tao family donated a large sum of money to Jiangxia Academy, as much as 2000 million yuan!"

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "The Tao family is very generous!"

"It's a lot of money, and it came very, very timely. Many scholars wanted to bring their family members here, but they had no money in their hands. This money can just be used as travel expenses and settling expenses, and the rest of the money is fine. Improve the accommodation of scholars."

Of course Liu Jing knew that the Tao family would not give money for no reason, and it probably had something to do with Tao Lie. This old man is indeed very discerning and knows how to do long-term business. Liu Jing nodded and asked, "Did the Tao family make any demands?"

"I didn't put forward any specific requirements, but I just hope that Jiangxia Academy will allow businessmen to have the opportunity to study."

The meaning couldn't be more clear. The Tao family wanted to send their children to study in Jiangxia Academy, and Liu Jing asked again: "Then what are the opinions of Duke Pang and Master Kuai?"

"They all expressed their respect for the opinion of the state pastor."

Obviously, both Pang Degong and Kuai Liang expressed their acquiescence, and now Liu Jing is asked to express his opinion. Liu Jing thought for a while and said: "There can be no more than three people, but they can't enter now. We have to follow the rules, and we will come back next year when new students are recruited." Enter them together."

"I understand, and when I go back, I will explain Zhou Mu's attitude to Duke Pang and Master Kuai."

Liu Jing was more concerned about Sima Yi at this time, and he thought to himself that the time should be ripe.

. . . . . . . . .

Since Sima Yi was captured, he has been under house arrest in Jiangxia Academy. Although he is under house arrest, he is actually relatively free. Except that he cannot leave Jiangxia Academy, he is completely free in the academy. In fact, his life is no different from that of ordinary scholars. .

Going to the academy to attend lectures during the day and study at night, apart from missing his wife and children very much, he lived a fulfilling life, and Jiangxia Academy was the only way to go from Chibi to Wuchang, and there would be news from the front line of Chibi every day by messengers.

Including Puqi ambush, Red Cliff confrontation, etc. From these sporadic news, Sima Yi relied on his extraordinary intelligence to deduce that Cao's army was in danger of this battle. Until the news of the Yuan family's revival in Hebei, Sima Yi finally came to a conclusion. In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Jun will surely be defeated.

If Cao Jun is wiped out in Chibi, then the situation of the world will inevitably change drastically. Sima Yi has already vaguely seen Liu Jing's road to king, and he began to reconsider his future and destiny.

At this time, he received a letter from his father, learning that his wife was imprisoned by Cao Pi, and unfortunately died of puerperal fever after giving birth to a son. It was the unfortunate death of his wife that finally made Sima Yi make up his mind.

Early in the morning, as usual, Sima Yi began to pack up his books, papers and pens, and was about to go to the academy to attend lectures. At this time, Yuan Cheng Jin Jiong ran into the small courtyard in a panic, and shouted anxiously: "Mr. Sima, the state shepherd is here. See sir."

Sima Yi was startled, and rushed out to welcome him. Seeing Liu Jing approaching from a distance, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "Sima Yi will meet Zhou Mu!"

Liu Jing didn't expect Sima Yi to be so respectful. At the beginning, Jia Xu was putting on airs, but Sima Yi was very realistic. No wonder Jia Xu said that everything will come to fruition. Liu Jing immediately smiled and said: "I have been busy with military affairs these days, so I haven't been able to visit Mr. Already!"

"Don't dare, state shepherd, please come in!"

"Please!"

Liu Jing and Sima Yi entered the room, saw the room was full of letters, couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Sima is indeed a learned man."

"The state shepherd has won the prize, there is nothing to do to entertain the ears!"

The two sat down, Yuan Cheng Jin Jiong served them tea, Liu Jing smiled at him and said: "Yuan Cheng has something to do!"

"Yes!"

Jin Jiong retreated, and only Liu Jing and Sima Yi were left in the room. Liu Jing said apologetically, "I already knew about Madam Ling's misfortune. I originally sent someone to fetch Madam to Jiangxia, but I was a step late. I learned the lesson from the previous time, and transferred Mrs. Zun away ahead of time, so I couldn't help, I'm sorry!"

Sima Yi shot an angry look in his eyes, and said in a hateful voice: "From my father's letter, I also guessed something. Hua Xin and I have always been at odds. This time, the accident with his wife and children must be related to this person. Don't kill him. I, Sima Yi, swear not to be human!"

"I can understand Brother Sima's feelings, but it takes time and patience. Competing for the world is actually a competition for talents. I really hope that Brother Sima can help me to unify the world. I can realize my ambition and avenge my wife. Has brother Sima thought it through?"

Sima Yi had already considered it clearly, and he was waiting for this moment. He immediately got up and knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists high and said: "Sima Yi is willing to do the work of dogs and horses for the state shepherd!"

Liu Jing was overjoyed, and quickly helped him up, "Liu Jing will never treat Zhong Da badly, please get up quickly."

Sima Yi asked Liu Jing to sit down again. Now that Sima Yi had surrendered, his words were no longer vague. He smiled and said, "This Chibi War can be said to be a battle that changed the world. How to move a chess game?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly and said, "The next move is naturally to regain the lost ground, Jiangling, Xiangyang and Fancheng, and then Nanyang County."

Sima Yi thought for a while and said, "In fact, the recovery of lost land can be implemented after the beginning of spring. It is less than a month before the New Year. I suggest that Zhou Mu use this time to establish a system as soon as possible."

"Establish a system?" Liu Jing looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, the first thing to do is to establish the system."

Sima Yi stroked his beard and said: "As the so-called 'beautiful aspect, establish morality', after the Chibi War, the pattern of the world has changed greatly. Zhoumu is no longer a small prince in a remote area, but a force that can compete with the Central Plains. At this time, the state Mu must be clear about his status, and then establish a corresponding system, so that he can know what he should do, and with the rules, he can draw a circle."

Liu Jing nodded, "Zhongda is right, what advice does Zhongda have for my future strategy?"

"I heard from Mr. Jia that Zhou Mu is going to move the state government back to Xiangyang, but is it true?"

"I have already decided on this. My strategic goal is to go west, so moving back to Xiangyang is the general trend. Does Zhongda have any suggestions?"

Sima Yi pondered for a moment and said: "I have also considered for Zhou Mu for a long time. Jingzhou is the place where the Four Wars were fought, and it is not suitable to be the foundation. Next, I suggest taking Bashu and connecting Jingzhou and Bashu as one, and then fighting against Sun Quan in the east and resisting in the north." Cao Cao formed the three kingdoms.

Then take Hanzhong, Hanzhong is the place where the north and the south meet. You can enter Guanzhong in the north and defend Shujing in the south. If Cao Cao attacks west, the Jiangdong army can go north to reinforce. Gu.

However, Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes. Although he gained temporary benefits, he lost his moral foundation. As time went on, the dissatisfaction of the gentry became deeper and deeper. 'The banner swept across the Central Plains, repeating the Han Dynasty. "

Liu Jing thought so, and sighed: "Zhongda is far-sighted, and Liu Jing is not as good as him!"
