Chapter 110: The Resurrection of War (Part 2)
"Your Majesty, this is the latest news."
"Well... Guangxiu, what do you think I should make a decision?" Liu Chan received a secret letter from somewhere and raised his eyes to ask Wen Li about his meaning.
"The danger of Yongliang has not been resolved, and I think it is better to put the overall situation first." Although Wen Li is only one of the four major leaders of Hu Leique, Hu Leique's strength is spread among all ethnic groups at home and abroad, and it is well-developed and omniscient.
"How are you preparing for domestic affairs?" Liu Chan felt a little tired and closed his eyes and said.
Wen Li looked up at Liu Chan. His Majesty, who was originally content with enjoyment, had white hair after several years of hard work. I remember that when he fought with the Wei people last year, His Majesty was still full of energy and was still as strong as a young man, but after the nearly year of war, His Majesty began to look old.
Even in front of the two armies, Liu Chan had to take time to deal with national affairs every day. Hu Leique's existence is not only a smooth ear, but also a shackle on the minds of Shu Han officials.
Unlike the "school affairs" set up by the Wu State, the school affairs of the Wu State were specifically targeting officials in the court, thinking about the illegal actions of the Emperor of Wu State to report to the ministers in the court at any time. In his later years, Lu Yi was tyrannical and harmed many famous officials of the Wu State.
At that time, the famous ministers of Wu, Gu Yong, Ministers Lu Xun, Pan Jun, Bu Zhi, Zhuge Jin and others were also sleepy. The pillars of the court were played with by Lu Yi, a villain, and it made people panic. Later, Sun Quan killed Lu Yi, and when Sun Liang arrived, he canceled the school affairs in order to win the hearts of the court.
The school affairs are just aimed at the ministers in the Wu State. Hu Leique is almost all over the world. Whether it is high in the court or the people in the market, there are shadows of Hu Leique - it can be said that it is omnipresent.
Before Liu Chan strives to be strong, the corruption in Shu was as common as ever. After Liu Chan held great power, he was unable to publicly crack down on corruption and bribery. Once it was cracked down on publicly, a large number of officials in Shu would inevitably involve. Not to mention the many people who were anxious and jumped over the wall, the talents that could be used in Shu were only these people.
However, Liu Chan has never given up on the politics of greed and greedy over the past few years. In addition to simplifying the bureaucracy to strengthen supervision and execution, the most important channel is Hu Leique.
Some ministers obviously made other mistakes, but when the court gives Yu a trial, they often add records of their greed and ink. This record is only used to increase the punishment when you violate the national law, rather than finding reasons to deal with you because of greed and ink.
It was a minor crime, so it became a major crime; those who should be demoted were punished to the end. Over time, everyone's records could not be completely accurate, but most of them were in line with the facts. At this time, the bureaucrats in Shu Han began to consciously restrain themselves.
Your Majesty’s meaning is clearly stated through actions. It is cleaner at this time, and it can be considered as leaving a way out for yourself in the future.
Now I have only been investigated after I have committed a crime, but this record is undoubtedly in the mind of Your Majesty. I didn’t say it on the table, but will Your Majesty decide the promotion of all officials in private? I have made enough money, so it is not worth it to destroy the future generations’ career!
Wen Li saw Liu Chan asking, so he said, "Mr. Yang and Mr. Xi were training 100,000 troops in Sichuan, and military supplies were prepared. I wonder when His Majesty will call it?"
Liu Chan snorted coldly and said, "The Wu people are really too much. If it weren't for Yong Liang's matter, hey..."
Wen Li thought for a while and said, "If a person has no long-term thinking, he will have immediate worries. Your Majesty has a profound layout and is beyond the reach of others. But you must overcome the difficulties in front of you."
Liu Chan nodded in agreement after hearing this, and then stood up and said with his hands behind his back: "There are so many civil and military officials in Sichuan. I feel exhausted every time I think about it. The prince will manage Sichuan for a long time. What do Guangxiu thinks about it?"
Wen Li said cautiously: "When Your Majesty is upright and successful, it is just because of his hard work and few rest. It is better for Your Majesty to turn back to the Sichuan and take a break, and you can also examine the prince's virtues."
Since Liu Chan made a northern expedition, he rarely returned to Sichuan. Even if the war with Wei State came to an end, he was like garrisoning Yongliang. Wen Li did not speak out about the Crown Prince Liu Zhan, but instead advised Liu Chan to return to Sichuan. His intention was also kind. After all, when Liu Chan left Sichuan, his youngest son was still in his infancy. How could he not miss him even if he had not seen Empress Zhang for a year?
"Okay, I'm not very useful here. Don't let me know Liao Yuanjian and Huo Shaoxian, I'll go back to Sichuan tomorrow." After Liu Chan gave an order, he went back to his room to rest. If he had family accompany him, he wouldn't feel so tired... But he can never go back to his home, which is an era that does not belong to here...
After receiving Liu Chan's instructions and reception, Huang Chong and Wu's envoy Xue Xi were already on the way back. Not only did the Shu Han army be weak along the way, but they were mostly new recruits at first glance. Xue Xi couldn't help but praise the mighty Shu army, but he thought in his heart that what Huang Chong said that "five or six of the soldiers in Shu" was not false.
In the south, Yongliang also needs to use troops. In this situation, it would be strange if some of Shu are not all new recruits...
The Shu Lord Liu Chan was quite amazed at the alliance of Wu and agreed to draw out thirty catapults from the military equipment of the middle school to give it to Wu.
Compared with the fifty vehicles required by the Wu Kingdom, this is not much. However, Ma Jun and Liu Shao were both killed, and Shu Han's catapult car could only send out one less. First, there were 500 pairs of new bucket tools and then 30 catapult cars. The sincerity of Shu Han to the Wu Kingdom alliance was enough.
Xue Xi and Huang Chong returned to Jianye along the Yangtze River. The situation of mountain crossings along the way could not be concealed. Huang Chong was very surprised that the Wu Kingdom had not settled the mountain crossings at this time. You should know that Wu Kingdom and Wei Kingdom were about to break up, so how could they stop the Wei people if they were not eliminated?
Lord Wu Sun Liang was quite confident about this and signaled that Huang Chong could stay in Jiangdong to observe the changes in the situation. As an envoy of Shu, Huang Chong was willing to stay and see how Wu handled the Shanyue crisis! You can also see your old friend Xun Xu along the way.
Since Huang Chong left, Xun Xu had difficulty meeting the important officials of the Wu family, let alone the Wu Lord Sun Liang. The followers who followed Xun Xu to Wu were restricted from entering and leaving the office, and even their weapons were disarmed by the Wu Kingdom.
At this point, everyone knows the attitude of Wu. And Xun Xu was already burning incense if he could save his life. How could he have conflicts with the Wu people on the issue of weapons... The guest post gradually became the only area where Xun Xu and Wei people could move freely.
Huang Chong came to Jiangdong again, and the inn arranged was already another place.
When Xun Xu heard that Huang Chong was visiting, he was slightly surprised. No one was beautiful for a thousand days, but no one was beautiful for a hundred days. Xun Xu's status in the eyes of Jiangdong people was no longer as good as before. Did Huang Chong come to show that he was showing off his power or wanted to humiliate him?
"Mr. Zeng hasn't seen him for a long time, why are he so haggard?" Huang Chong said straight to the point after entering the inn.
Xun Xu looked at Huang Chong not only with the entourage of Shu, but also with the ministers and guards of Wu, and immediately bowed and said, "I felt the cold wind and cold, which made Lord Huang laugh."
Huang Chong nodded and said, "Come here today. Mr. Huang is just accompanying the guest. I feel relieved when I see Mr. Zeng is safe."
"Oh?" Xun Xu's eyes flashed with divine light when he heard this, and fell on the minister of the Wu Kingdom who followed Huang Chong.
Since Huang Chong was accompanying him, the protagonist was the Wu people. Seeing Huang Chong's expression, you know that the Wu Kingdom and Shu Han were still maintaining a good alliance. In this way, today is probably the day to decide where they will go.
"This adult seems to be in a face, but I don't know what it's important to do?" Xun Xu went in and out of the palace of Wu and looked at the scholars from Jiangdong. However, he was in a face-to-face manner for the minister of Wu in front of him.
"Mr. Zeng, don't worry too much. I am a servant who has recently entered the palace. I am specially ordered by my lord to ask the lord to return to the country." The minister of Wu was unwilling to explain his name. After saying that, he took out the imperial edict of Master Sun Liang of Wu and began to read it.
The Wu Kingdom and Shu Han were allies, and the imperial edict of the Wu Lord Sun Liang naturally included some friendly words from Wu and Shu. In the end, it was to let Xun Xu return to his country to report his orders and persuade Wei Kingdom to "know the destiny and follow the people's hearts."
After Xun Xu thanked him, he saw that Huang Chong and Wu Envoy were slapped their butts and left, so he had to smile bitterly on his own. He said that he was letting himself return to China, but is the road to return to China that simple? Not to mention anything else, just knowing about the Shu Han fighting tools was enough to make him die eight times...
However, the king's order cannot be violated. The Emperor of Wu was not his king, but he was on the territory of others. At that time, Xun Xu sent his subordinates to get the weapons belonging to the Wei people, and began to pack his luggage and prepare to leave Jianye City. Fortunately, the Wu people did not make things difficult for these Wei people. After returning the weapons, they also gave them some travel expenses and money.
The Wei people left sadly but only the back. The entire Wu Kingdom's vision was focused on pacifying Shanyue. The war with Wei Kingdom was about to begin, and Shanyue must be pacified. Fortunately, there are still many tiger generals in Jiangdong. Under the urging of the Wu Lord Sun Liang, he successively captured Shanyue's territory and occupied the bandit's nest. Finally, the internal troubles were temporarily calmed down, giving Wu a chance to breathe.
According to the principle, we should wait until Shanyue is completely calmed before letting Xun Xu leave Jiangdong. But the Wei State is not a vegetarian. There has been no movement from Xun Xu for a long time. Sima Zhao's Wei army and Wang Ji's Wei army have both gradually become active and are in a stance to start a war.
Under such a trend, the Wu Kingdom was afraid that Sima Zhao would launch an attack, so he had to use the news of letting Xun Xu back to the north as a slowdown to deal with the Wei people.
Helplessly, the Wei people were relieved and they wanted to pacify Shanyue as soon as possible. The Wei people used Xun Xu to negotiate peace with the Wu Kingdom, secretly inciting Shanyue and the bandits to make trouble. Such actions had long aroused the public indignation of the king and minister of the Wu Kingdom. Compared to the fact that Shu Han secretly kept his efforts, Wei did it too much.
You should know that from the official explanation of Shu Han, the advanced fighting tools of Shu Han were destroyed for Jingzhou of Wu. Moreover, the remaining fighting tools and catapults were generously distributed to Wu. This sincerity can also make up for the fragile self-esteem of the Wu people.
