Shouchun.

Liu Bei was proud of his youth recently, with a red face full of red light. Bo Wang defeated Cao Cao in one battle and returned with a great victory. His prestige instantly soared to the peak. The previous voices against him becoming emperor also stopped and no longer clamored. His throne has been firmly held.

Seek survival and development, and develop after survival. Once the problem of survival is solved, it is time to pursue other things.

Liu Bei had great ambitions and could not have been depressed and settled in a corner just after achieving a little success. After returning to Shouchun, he was ready to reform his official positions and reorganize his army, re-dividing the county and county boundaries, and putting his own mark on the two prefectures of Yang and Jing.

It seems useless to change the official title of counties and counties, but it is not the case. In a few years, when the subjects of Jiangnan adapted to their new official status, they naturally recognized him as the emperor in their hearts.

Sometimes it is more effective to cut the mess by subtlety than to cut the quick knife.

Otherwise, why did Liu Bang, Wang Mang, Liu Xiu and others change some of the titles and habits of the previous dynasty? It is really because the things from the previous dynasty are not easy to use to change?

Of course not, but I want to slowly change the people's memories of the previous dynasty from the outside by changing their names.

If you pronounce a new name a thousand times, you will naturally forget the old name. Telling a lie a thousand times will become the truth. It is the same as the same as brainwashing.

In addition to this, Liu Bei also did one thing, throwing Liu Biao to Shouchun University as the president, but inserting Liu Qi into six departments.

The composition of his personnel is very complicated. Regarding Zhang's first senatorial school, including the Xuzhou school headed by Chen Dengmi Zhu, the Yuan Shu school headed by Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and Ji Ling, the Jiangdong school headed by Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, the Jingzhou school represented by Liu Biao, and the Northern Surrender School headed by Yuan Shao. There are so many people gathered in Shouchun, and it is really a shallow turtle.

It is impossible for so many factions to get together and be together as brothers. Each of them has their own interests and ambitions are greater than the other. How to maintain the balance between the various factions is a test of people.

It's okay for other factions, but it's hard to deal with Jiangdong and Jingzhou. Although Sun Ce, a Jiangdong lineage, died, his younger brother Sun Quan was already an adult and was not very peaceful.

Liu Bei didn't care about Sun Quan. He had been fighting for more than ten years and had never seen any scenes now. How could he be afraid of a young man who had no money, no power, no prestige, no prestige?

It was mainly Liu Biao. Liu Biao was in charge of the eight counties of Jingzhou for ten years and had a high prestige in Jingzhou. It was really difficult to deal with if it caused trouble.

Regarding Liu Biao, Liu Bei neither wanted to use it nor dared to use it. He could only serve as a mascot and let him be a principal to support him.

As for whether the world will threaten him in the future, Liu Bei is not worried.

Liu Biao is still sixty years old and can live for a few years. When his students enter the court, the old guy is already burping.

But Liu Biao is not a fool. If you want to make others willing to retire, you have to pay a price, so he reused Liu Qi.

To undermine the person and value his son, this was the way King Huiwen of Qin dealt with his uncle Ying Qian back then, and it was good to use it.

After solving Liu Biao, Yuan Shao was the least concerned. So what if he was the third prince of the fourth generation? He was beaten by Cao Cao like a dog with a broken family. He had no one to have any territory and no place to choose except relying on himself.

Bo Wang won a great victory. It had been half a month since the army returned to the court. Finally, they had dealt with these miscellaneous trivial matters. Liu Bei, who was rarely idle, returned to the harem. Looking at the queen Gan who was playing with Liu Feng and Liu Chan in the garden, a hint of happy smile appeared on his face.

Gan also came up with his children and bowed to him, "Why is Your Majesty free to come today?"

Liu Bei looked stagnant and said with a sneer: "What's this? I think my wife and children still have to choose a life."

Gan also responded and said the wrong thing, and quickly apologized: "Your Majesty atones for your sins, I..." Before she could finish her words, Liu Bei raised his hand to stop her, and smiled bitterly: "There are too many things recently. It's wrong for me to neglect your mother and son. Let's go, our family will gather together today."

After saying that, he picked up Liu Feng and Liu Chan and was about to leave. Without taking a few steps, a eunuch ran over quickly and bowed: "Your Majesty, Commander Sun asked for a meeting, saying that there was important news from Xu Du and needed to discuss with Your Majesty."

Liu Bei was stunned and ignored him. He finally called himself emperor, but why did he have no time to be free?

But Gan advised: "Your Majesty, go, the news from Xu Du must be particularly important."

Liu Bei sighed and said guiltily: "My beloved concubine, I'm sorry for you."

Gan said a few more words of comfort, took the child out of him and turned away. Then Liu Bei said, "Let Sun Gan wait for me in the study."

When the eunuch left, Liu Bei deliberately stood in the back garden for a while, and waited until the time was about to reach the study.

Sun Gan had already been waiting in the room, and when he saw him coming in, he hurried forward to salute.

"No gift, sit down and say."

Liu Bei responded, walked to his seat and sat down before asking, "What are the troubles of the Cao family's father and son?"

Yuan Shao was defeated and Cao Cao unified the Central Plains. How could he have no action when he returned to Xudu?

Sun Gan took out a half-inch thick book from his arms and said: "Cao Cao recently issued several imperial edicts in the name of the emperor, formed an elite class, summoned children of the same age as Cao Sheng to attend classes, and also created a "Medical Action World" plan, preparing to build more than 200 hospitals in the Central Plains within five years to increase the birth rate and survival rate of babies, and reform the official system, abolish the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers and implement the Three Provinces and Six Ministry, and at the same time establish the Governor's Office of the Five Army. It is expected to recruit 500,000 troops within one year, and now it has begun to disarmament."

"disarmament?"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and soon understood the reason and said, "Is there any?"

Sun Gan's face showed a strange look and said, "The strangest thing is that Cao Ang sent Ma Jun and Gongshu to heaven a few days ago and was struck by lightning. It is said that he was almost rescued. After that, Cao Ang locked him and Ma Jun into the laboratory together, and he didn't know what he was busy with."

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Cao Ang is very purposeful in doing things, and Ma Jun is his most respected master. He has no grudges and no complaints. He cannot do something to cut off his own arms. Such an abnormality must have some plans. Come and invite Zhuge Liang to the palace to meet him."

After saying that, he looked down at the book in his hand, reading it word by word, and it took half an hour to finish reading it. He raised his head and sighed: "Cao Thief is really rich, is Zhuge Liang here?"

Sun Gan said, "It has arrived and is waiting outside the hall."

Liu Bei closed the book and said, "Let him come in."

Sun Gan shouted outside, Zhuge Liang entered the room and bowed. After the greetings, Liu Bei handed him the book and said, "You can see too. I can understand everything else, but Cao Ang sent Ma Jun to heaven and was struck by lightning. No matter how you look at it, it was strange."

Zhuge Liang took it and said after reading it: "It's indeed a bit weird. Cao Ang is a pragmatic person. He will never do anything that is not good. If there is good, he has to do a risk assessment first. He will not do it even if the risk is too high. This time he dares to risk being struck by lightning to death to send Ma Jun to heaven, which is enough to show how big his plan is."
