Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 479 Lian Cao against Yuan (first update)
For the next month or so, Dayan's main job is to thoroughly implement the Ninth-Rank Court Ritual System. This system seems simple, but it is actually very difficult to break down. Many official positions are originally equal, but between the Ninth-Rank For example, although the difference between the sixth and seventh ranks is one rank, there is indeed a difference between the upper and lower ranks, so the movement below is not small, and the debates are endless. Some people even suggested that Yuan Xi suspend this system.

However, the opposition of a few people in the district can stop Yuan Xi. Once a king's order is passed, the governors of various places intensified their efforts instantly, and the inspectors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately dispatched. Worry about not being an official and win people, so tough, so that officials from all over the place are instantly more honest, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has become the department that Dayan officials are most afraid of in a very short period of time. Please go drink tea.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate has an overview of Dayan’s discipline, is directly responsible to Yuan Xi, and has the right to supervise all officials below the third-rank governor. Once there is corruption, harm to the people, or self-seeking, after passing through the inspector’s branch and assisting the governors of various places, they can all be put on hold pending trial. If the governor disagrees, it can be reported to the General Inspectorate in Wangcheng. After Yuan Xi orders, he has the right to ignore the governor and handle it immediately. This is a knife on the head of all officials. Of course, this process cannot be changed at will, that is It is necessary to communicate with the governors of various places first, and the majesty of the governors cannot be ignored.

In addition to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple and the Tolerance Department have also begun to develop like a fire. The Tolerance Department is responsible for the people's livelihood, and the Dali Temple is responsible for adjudicating cases. It is to manage people's livelihood and prosper the economy, which greatly reduces their rights, improves the centralization of power, and ensures the supremacy of the royal family. Although many officials are very dissatisfied, they have no choice. Without the slightest military power, they cannot set up any The wind and waves can only be obeyed honestly.

And at the time when Dayan was restructured, Cao Cao's envoy from the Central Plains had secretly arrived in Jiangdong.

Jiangdong, Shanyin County, in the main hall of Marquis Wu's Mansion, Sun Quan was sitting at the head of the throne, civil and military were separated, Wen was headed by Zhang Zhao, and Wu was respected by Zhou Yu.

Dressed in Chinese clothes, handsome in appearance and extraordinary in temperament, Liu Ye, Cao Cao's key counselor who once offered a Thunderbolt chariot, stood in the hall with a calm face.

"Cao Sikong, it looks like he was frightened by Yuan Xi's beating," Zhou Yu, who saw the handsome figure on the left and the starry eyes, suddenly sneered.

After Liu Ye smiled lightly, he said: "Yuan Xi is indeed powerful, and Sikong has never shied away from it. If not, how could he come to join Jiangdong? In addition, Zhou Dudu and Sikong joined Jiangdong not because you are powerful, nor because you Zhou Dudu is capable. You are good at fighting, but because of Jiangdong's navy and Wuhou's ambition, Liu Biao is absolutely incomparable, otherwise you, Jiangdong, are not qualified to form an alliance with Sikong at all."

"Fuck"

"too arrogant"

Hearing this, all the generals roared instantly, Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay." Sun Quan on the main seat suddenly waved his hand lightly to calm down the generals, then looked at Liu Ye and said, "I fully understand Sikong's sincerity, not to mention Yuan Xi, even Liu Biao belongs to me too." Killing one's father and enemy, but capturing Jingzhou is not an easy matter, this Marquis should carefully consider the following, Master Liu will go down to rest first, and I will give you an answer in three days, how about it?"

"Then thank you Marquis Wu." Liu Ye didn't say much, turned around and left.

After seeing Liu Ye leave, Sun Quan immediately looked at Zhou Yu and respectfully said, "Brother Gongjin, what do you think of this matter?"

"My lord, although Yu really doesn't want to admit it, Dayan's current strength is indeed too terrifying. Even the grasslands have been wiped out. I, Jiangdong, rely on the Yangtze River, and I am not afraid. There is no doubt that we will lose," Zhou Yu said suddenly with a serious face.

"You mean to unite Cao against Yuan," Sun Quan said seriously,

"That's right, but this alliance requires us, Jiangdong, to occupy a dominant position. My Jiangdong's national policy is to capture Jingzhou, enter Bashu in the west, and occupy half of the country. Only in this way, Jiangdong can resist Yuan Xi and have a chance to seize the world." Zhou Yu nodded.

"Then why did Gong Jin humiliate Liu Ye just now?" Zhang Zhao on the left suddenly said dissatisfied.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said: "I insulted him just now to see how strong Cao Cao is now. If Liu Ye doesn't show that pride, it shows that Cao Cao's strength is already very weak, but Liu Ye's situation shows that Cao Cao We still have confidence, and if we continue this alliance, we will be able to stop Yuan Xi."

"But Jingzhou still has 10,000+ soldiers and horses, it is impossible to eat them overnight, and once the war breaks out, Yuan Xi must know that he will definitely send troops to stop it." A calm, slightly thin man stood up and said worriedly.

"Zijing is right, so I have to admire Cao Sikong here. He is breaking the boat, using the Central Plains and Xiliang to delay Yuan Xi, and using Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and Bashu as the back road. Even if he loses ten times, as long as he loses, If you can defeat Yuan Xi once, everything can be regained," Zhou Yu praised with a smile.

"Captain Zhou, Cao Cao is ambitious, and you also said that he uses Jiangdong as his way out, so you are not afraid that he will take away my land in Jiangdong," Zhang Zhao said solemnly.

"What does he want to win? As long as the navy is in hand, Jiangdong is as stable as Mount Tai. Cao Cao really values ​​my Jiangdong navy, so he will come to the alliance," Zhou Yu laughed.

"Brother Gongjin, if the two parties unite, can they defeat Yuan Xi?" Sun Quan asked eagerly suddenly. Yuan Xi not only put pressure on Cao Cao, but all the princes in the world also had pressure.

"My lord, as long as Jingzhou is in hand, Sun and Cao are united, and they will definitely have the capital to stop Yuan Xi, but the most important part of this plan is Jingzhou. Jingzhou not only has a strong navy, but also has 11 infantry. How could Yuan Xi not know during this period of time? If he knew, he would definitely send troops to the Central Plains. Whether Cao Cao could resist, if Jingzhou was not settled and the Central Plains were lost, it would be in danger," Zhou Yu said seriously.

"Then the only way is to establish the most steadfast alliance, support Cao Cao from the north of Xuzhou, and stop Yuan Xi's most elite Second Army." Hearing this, Lu Su said loudly.

"Then, did Jiangdong lose too much?" Huang Gai, who had a thick beard, suddenly asked in doubt.

"It's a lot of losses, but I, Jiangdong, did get the foundation of the king's career," Lu Su said solemnly.

"Zijing, please speak clearly." Sun Quan immediately looked at Lu Su excitedly.

"My lord, we can sign an alliance with Cao Cao. Our army is not only willing to form an alliance to capture Jingzhou, but also to go north to support him and guarantee his Central Plains land. However, once the war is won, Jingzhou will be handed over to me. "Success" Lu Su said loudly.

"Will Cao Cao be willing?" Sun Quan frowned immediately.

"He will, he will, because Cao Cao really needs a big victory over Yuan Xi, what he seeks is the momentum to win, and what Jiangdong seeks is territory, each takes what it needs," Lu Su said confidently.

Zhou Yu, who had been silent all this time, nodded, looked at Lu Su appreciatively, and said, "Master, what Zijing said is very true, but this plan must not be rushed, it must be done slowly, it must be well-planned, and it must be planned carefully. Fight, we must win Jingzhou in one fell swoop."

Sun Quan's eyes were fixed, and after being silent for a while, he immediately stood up and said, "Brother Gongjin, you will be in charge of this alliance. All the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong will still be controlled by you."

"No!" Zhou Yu immediately responded with cupped fists.
