"Gong Xu, uncle, I'm sorry."

After all, Luo Tong is Sun Quan's niece and son-in-law (Luo Tong's wife is the daughter of Sun Fu, the younger brother of Sun Ben, a pure minister of the Han Dynasty), and Sun Quan still mainly appeases him.

Luo Tong had already heard about the fact that Sun Quan went to attack Jiangling again and was beaten again. He sighed in his heart, and his face was inexplicably sad.

"As a minister, I can't help my uncle to annex Wei and Shu. Instead, I want the lord to form an alliance with Xingzhen and accept the title of Cao Wei. This is our sin."

On the way here, Sun Quan had already figured out how to comfort Luo Tong, and even figured out how to clear the way for Luo Tong with a whip and let all the officials salute Luo Tong (this was done when Sun Quan trusted Lu Xun the most in history. However, upon hearing Luo Tong's words, he couldn't help but burst into tears. For the first time in his life, he began to seriously reflect on whether there was something wrong with his national policy.

It's over, there's nothing to do,

Jiaozhou can no longer be defended, and Xiakou is already very good if it can be defended. It seems that it is very difficult to continue westward.

or……

Backstab Cao Rui again?

·

Cao Rui did not blame Sun Quan for his surprise attack on Hefei.

Although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty believed that Sun Quan's old thief could not be trusted, Cao Rui still analyzed it calmly, thinking that Sun Quan was really ignorant.

"Now the country's great enemy is Shu, not Sun Quan.

Since Sun Quan is willing to accept the title of our country, he will definitely not continue to embarrass him within a year or two.

Shouchun is a little bit on guard, and the rest of the troops will be placed in the Jingzhou area—the troops in Guanzhong can also be slightly reduced. Liu Chan is now in Jingzhou, and Liangzhou has not yet completely fallen. Will they march west for a while. "

"Disband a part of the army and set up fields in Guanzhong. The general is responsible for counting the refugees and strictly investigating the concealed population.

Also... promote Du Ji to be a servant of Shangshu, let Zhao Yan go to be the governor of Hedong, um..."

Cao Rui's thinking is very good,

He was too lazy to grind his teeth with a group of auxiliary ministers, and directly started mobilizing officials to make the next arrangement.

Liu Fang, the grandson of the two Zhongshu supervisors whom he favored, is now receiving preferential treatment, and has been by Cao Rui's side to advise him. Seeing that the young monarch's arrangements are quite organized, they are all in awe.

It's just that they don't understand why Du Ji, the school lieutenant of Sili, has been in Hedong for so many years and has won the hearts of the people, and his political achievements are often the best in the world.

The situation in Guanzhong is not good now, and we have to continue to farm to provide military rations for future battles. Don't we need people like Du Ji to sit in the town?

Cao Rui smiled contemptuously, and threw a memorial in front of the two of them.

Since the time of Cao Cao, Cao Wei has recruited widows across the country. In theory, all widows must be gathered and reused, and sent to other places that lack women. The number of widows paid by each county is an important assessment indicator for the prefect.

All other counties are actively providing widows. Only Hedong, where Du Ji is located, has always had the lowest number of widows in the country in the past few years. In the future, a protracted war with Wu and Shu will require a large number of people. Cao Rui cannot tolerate this kind of behavior.

"Hedong has been governed in recent years, and there are fewer widows, that's why..." Sun Zi whispered on the side.

In all fairness, they all like Du Ji, who is noble and hard-working.

The role that this person can play in the local area must far exceed that of the court.

Cao Rui sneered:

"Du Ji is a talented person, but he cherishes his reputation too much, so he can't recruit widows.

Replaced by Zhao Yan, this year's widows must be far more than previous years. "

Sun Zi and Liu Fang were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, and they could only say that your majesty is wise.

How can there be so many widows...

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that most of the county guards are stepping up their efforts to catch some strangers to make up the number.

say you are a widow, you are a widow,

If you are not widowed, you will be widowed, if not, you will be widowed.

It is a certainty that this kind of thing will leave a bad name in the local area, but it is because of this that the court can be less famous.

At least when the time comes, Cao Rui can express that he is still young and completely unaware of how dangerous the society is. If the public anger gets bigger, he will borrow the heads of a few prefects to calm the public anger.

If the public outrage is not too great...

Then step it up.

Du Ji cherishes his feathers so much that he actually catches real widows honestly and refuses to bear the stigma at all. Even though his political achievements are excellent and the farming in Hedong has recovered quickly, Cao Rui still can't allow him to stay in the place up.

After arranging all this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that talking about widows with a few Zhongshu supervisors in the court hall was really something that would not be on the table.

"Well, let a few auxiliary ministers discuss it. If they all agree, then transfer Du Ji back as soon as possible."

Sun Zi and Liu Fang quickly accepted the order humbly, and just as the two were about to leave, Cao Rui called to stop them again.

"How is Chang Juying now?"

After Cao Rui ascended the throne, Chang Diao has always shown a very submissive attitude, without the slightest complaint, but worked diligently and did not have the slightest contact with Cao Li.

This made Cao Rui feel very strange.

He specially sent someone to keep an eye on Chang Diao to see if there was anything weird about him.

Liu Fang knew Cao Rui's thoughts, he said cautiously:

"Chang Juying has been searching for a giant thief recently, and he already has some clues."

"Giant thief?" Cao Rui was speechless.

After all, he is one of the Nine Ministers, it is good enough to be optimistic about the palace gate, and he is free to take care of catching thieves.

Could it be that there are some giant thieves who can sneak into the palace and kill people?

"Uh, it is said that this person is called Han Yu, and he is very violent, so he is not easy to deal with.

He had already killed four or five people in the city, so Wei Wei personally led the army to arrest them. "

"Han Yu?" Cao Rui seemed to have never heard of this name before.

"That's right, this person used to be a dead soldier in our army. He risked his life to get back a letter from Jingzhou. He had a relationship with Chang Juying once, so Chang Juying led people to arrest him himself."

No wonder……

Cao Rui just felt that he had heard this name before.

It was because of this letter that Cao Wei identified Xia Houshang as an inner ghost, confined him at home, and sent people to take strict precautions.

At that time, Cao Rui's life was difficult. Although he heard about this incident, he didn't know what happened to Han Yu later.

This person is obviously a loyal and brave soldier, why he became a robber killer for no reason, and now Wei Wei personally leads people to round up him.

Liu Fang boldly said:

"This man came from a family of soldiers... At that time, he disappeared in Xinye. Some people said that he had died in battle, and his wife was sent to the front line to be used by soldiers as usual.

Uh, that woman...that woman was unwilling to obey the order of the imperial court, and the officials tried hard to persuade her, but she still refused, and...she even hanged herself.

Hey, then Han Yu thought his wife was forced to death, so...so..."

Just now we were discussing the issue of widow reuse,

Hearing about this, Cao Rui seemed to have been punched hard on the forehead, for some reason, he felt a little palpitation.

"Order Chang Diao, find Han Yu and order him to surrender, and I will choose a daughter from a good family for him."

Chapter 393 The True Eastern Wu Chunchen Lu Xun

The sun was high in Luoyang, but suddenly it rained heavily.

The heat is pervasive, and the heavy rain poured on the scorching ground, which not only created layers of mud flowers, but also layers of fog, making Luoyang, which was already sweltering, like a steamer.

Outside an unremarkable small courtyard in the east of the city, a stooped man in a coir raincoat gently knocked on the door.

After a while, the courtyard door opened,

He directly lowered his head and went in, casually untied the coir raincoat and bamboo hat on his body, and let the heavy rain pour down on him.

"How many did you kill today?"

The owner of the small courtyard wore a bamboo hat and had a gentle and elegant face. When talking about the murder, it seemed that he was chatting with this drenched man who exuded a faint smell of blood.

"No one was killed." The man said hoarsely.

"Chang Diao's siege is getting tighter and tighter. It seems that he has found me. Today I wanted to assassinate Zhao Yan, but just as I started, I was besieged by the Weiwei Mansion. There are indeed several masters in it.

If it wasn't for the sudden heavy rain, I'm afraid I won't be able to go. "

That man is naturally Han Yu, the most wanted criminal in Luoyang City.

He said it lightly, but in fact he must have experienced an extremely tragic fight. Zhao Yan has been on the battlefield for a long time, has countless enemies, and the guards around him are all first-class masters. There are also many capable people in Chang Diao's Weiwei Mansion. Han Yu was able to escape with his life. Already lucky.

It is Xu Shu who has let go of himself to take in Han Yu.

Although he is the right servant of Shangshu, in order to avoid suspicion, he never intervenes in those confidential and important matters.

Every day I talk about martial arts with a group of literati and warriors, and my life is relaxed and comfortable, with more real money and less work, and being closer to home, everyone is happier when he doesn't go to work, and life is relaxed and comfortable.

Xu Shu also used to be a ranger back then, and he also used to walk across the world with his sword. It is normal to discuss martial arts with others when he has nothing to do.

Therefore, he naturally took in Han Yu, and no one has noticed until now.

After listening to Han Yu's narration, Xu Shu didn't say a word,

He raised his long sword and walked into the courtyard. Regardless of the heavy rain, he tried out a set of exquisite swordsmanship, which made Han Yu, who was also standing in the rain, nod repeatedly.

"This is……"

"This is the martial art my lord taught me back then. I have wasted a lot over the years, but face-to-face combat is still useful.

If you practice hard these few days, if you are besieged by masters again, you will be able to fight. "

Han Yu was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"Xu Gong, Chang Diao has already found my trail, I can't get you involved here."

Xu Shu smiled contemptuously:

"Don't be afraid, I also have friends in court, Chang Diao can't find it here."

·

In Jiangling, Liu Chan is ready to stop.

He led only [-] troops and approached south along the Xiangshui River.

Liu Chan initially only planned to bring 1000 men, but he couldn't stand the repeated pleadings of the people, so he increased his strength to [-].

For attacking Jiaozhou, [-] troops are already a lot.

General Lu Dai of Soochow, like Zhang Ji of Cao Wei, is now facing an embarrassing situation.

He wanted to return to Wudi, but he had to leave his troops and flee across the mountains, or choose to flee towards Jiaozhi in the south——

As long as Shi Xie, who is entrenched in Jiaozhou, is still a pure minister of the Eastern Wu, he still has a chance to delay for a while.

But the problem is...

Shi Xie didn't seem to have that intention.

When Man Chong had just begun to attack Changsha and showed the sign of Jiaozhou governor, the 84-year-old Shi Xie was keenly aware of the change in wind direction.

He did not immediately cut off his relationship with Lu Dai, but he also cut off his support for Wu Jun on the grounds of insufficient food and grass.

Lu Dai and Xue Zong had too few troops to stop Man Chong's offensive, so they could only keep retreating, shivering in the three counties of Yulin, Cangwu, and Hepu.

Man Chong fought against Lu Dai twice before, and felt that Lu Dai's skills in leading soldiers were not bad, but his skills in using soldiers were ordinary.

He won easily the first two times, beating Lu Dai to the ground,

Now that he is in high spirits, Man Chong can't wait to break into Yu Lin and hurry up to take up the post of governor of Jiaozhou.

Governor of Jiaozhou,

It seems that the prince still recognizes my ability to be full of pets,

It's not in vain that I have worked hard for the past two years and have been working hard for the prince.

It would be better if Lu Dai didn't surrender, I just use his head as my capital to get in.

He led [-] Han troops all the way south, and had another encounter with Lu Dai on the way.

Winning again this time, Man Chong's confidence swelled to the extreme.

That's it?
