The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1208 Returning to Luoyang
As soon as Lu Kang died, Wu's army cried all over the camp, and the sound spread for ten miles.

Lu Yan and Lu Jing wore hemp filial piety, according to Lu Kang's explanation before his death, everything about the funeral was kept simple, and Fu Lingshu returned to Jianye.

Sun Hao, the Lord of Wu, was also quite sad when he heard that Lu Kang had died of illness. He presented Jingzhou Mu and Da Sima with the posthumous title of Wu, and personally buried him. All civil and military officials wore filial piety.

After Lu Kang was buried, Sun Hao ordered his eldest son Lu Yan to inherit the title of Marquis of Jiangling from Lu Kang. He is still young, so he has not led the army.

As for the positions of Xue Ying, Zhang Xian, Wu Yan and others arranged by Lu Kang before his death, Sun Hao was ready to play, only the position of Governor of Xiling at Zhou Chu, because Cen An, the younger brother of Cen Hun, Sun Hao's favorite servant, had just He took the position of governor of Xiling, so he was transferred to the post of governor of Wunan.

Lu Kang's death caused an uproar in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Some people were sad while others were happy. Zhang Ti, Shen Ying, Hu Chong and others who had good friends with Lu Kang sighed, thinking that Wu had lost his power, and turned against Lu Kang. Cen Hun, He Zhi and the others celebrated each other with clapping their hands and applauding.

When news of Lu Kang's death reached Huaibei, Liu Yin was resting in Runan.

After taking down the four prefectures of Qing, Yan, Henan and Xu, Ji Han's territory suddenly expanded a lot, including the entire hinterland of the Central Plains. Naturally, there were many problems brought about by the expansion of the territory. You must know that in the battle of Luoyang Later, the three kings of the Kanto have lost control of the three places in the Kanto. In order to achieve the purpose of quickly taking over these areas, Liu Yin implemented a policy similar to Liu Bang's "three chapters of the law". , bringing even more benefits to the scholars.

Liu Yin knew very well that no matter where it is, this family of scholars is the foundation of governing the world. Perhaps a single family of scholars has no power to contend with the imperial court, but the gathering of thousands of families of scholars in the world is a terrifying force. strength.To deal with this force, we can't simply use the method of blocking, but we must use the method of sparseness, to show its power and lure it to benefit, so as to make these scholars submit.

The sequelae caused by the Han army's sweep of the Central Plains naturally need to be remedied later. Although the officers and officials of the states and counties can continue to use the former Jin officials, the prefect who is the head of a county must be replaced. In the past two months, Liu Yin has been busy adjusting the second-level teams of the prefectures and counties in the four prefectures of Qing, Yan, Yu and Xu.

Wang Jun, who had served as an officer in Hedong and a car rider, was transferred to be the prefect of Runan, and he took office in a hurry.

During Liu Yin's war with the Jin State before, there had never been a general named Wang Jun, which made Liu Shi feel puzzled. It stands to reason that Wang Jun was second only to Yang Hu and Du Yu in the list of famous generals in the Jin State. Liu Yin was deeply baffled by the fact that this famous general never showed up during the contest with Jin.

Calculated by age, Wang Jun is already a veteran who is nearly seventy years old. Could it be possible that he will not be born until the time when Wu is destroyed?

After reading Wang Jun's resume this time, Liu Yin realized that Wang Jun had not been used in the first half of the year or even before he was 60 years old. The position of assistant officer is mixed among ordinary officials, and he has never had the chance to become famous.

The reason why he was appointed as the prefect of Runan this time was because of the shortage of officials when Ji Han first entered the Central Plains. Wang Jun was full of ambition and full of energy.

It stands to reason that Wang Jun is already an old man over sixty years old, even if it is left to future generations, he has already reached the age of retirement, but at this time, Wang Jun seems to be rejuvenated, full of energy .

It is estimated that only Liu Yin knew his talent at that time. After he took office in Runan, Liu Yin personally summoned him to meet him and test him. , is Wang Jun who is as good as the fake.

Wang Jun's plan to pacify Wu also made Liu Yin's eyes shine. He was thinking secretly, it seems that when Jin is destroyed in the future, Wang Jun will be a capable general.

At this moment, the news of Lu Kang's death came, and the generals under the tent couldn't help but look happy. This Lu Kang is a powerful figure in Soochow, and an extraordinary famous general. With him, he can reach half the length of the Yangtze River defense line .All the generals volunteered one after another and asked Liu Yin to fight. Taking advantage of Lu Kang's death, the Wu army's unknown general sat in the town and wiped out the Wu country in one fell swoop.

Liu Yin shook his head and said, "Although Lu Kang is dead, the defense line on the Yangtze River is still there. It will take at least three years to destroy Wu."

If you want to destroy Wu, you must have the same power as the Soochow Navy. For a long time, Ji Han's main opponents are Wei and the Jin who replaced Wei. When fighting Wei and Jin, the two sides compete with cavalry For land forces such as infantry, regarding the construction of the navy, for the Han army, there is no security.

Liu Yin said that at least three years is the lowest estimate. You must know that it is not an easy task to build a navy that can compete with Wu Jun's navy. Three years is only Liu Yin's most Conservative estimate.

Although Lu Kang had just died of illness, it was impossible for Wu to have no arrangements. In the absence of a navy, the probability of successfully crossing the river was basically zero.

So Liu Yin didn't even think about it. He couldn't ignore the lives of thousands of Han soldiers and do a futile thing.

The matter of destroying Wu is a major event that must be done, and Liu Yin must plan it seriously.

At this time, Liu Yin suddenly received an imperial decree from Han Emperor Liu Chen, asking him to return to Beijing as a teacher.

For a while, the generals speculated a lot, but no one could figure out what happened in Luoyang, and Liu Yin had to return to the court in person.

Although the imperial decree didn't say it clearly, Liu Yin could still feel the sense of urgency brought by this imperial decree. Did something really happen in Luoyang city?
Liu Yin asked the eunuch who delivered the decree, but there was no news. It seems that Liu Chen has sealed the news very tightly, and ordinary people are not qualified to know such top-secret news.And this kind of top-secret news is often urgent. If the imperial decree mentions that Liu Yin should return to the capital immediately, something big must have happened.

The blocked news and the solemn decree all proved the urgency of the matter, and Liu Yin could not solve the problem. Liu Yin did not dare to delay. After arranging the defense of Huaibei, he immediately led the army and returned to I learned from Luoyang.
