The Three Kingdoms

"I've come back. I retreated from the sea to Yuzhou Mountain last night. I'm taking charge of the overall situation of the Flame Army and adjusting the retreat of the four forces. The third and fourth divisions are also starting to withdraw from the North Sea!"

"In this battle, He Qi suffered a great loss, and he still suffered a loss at sea. In the end, Gu forced him to retreat. He didn't even have a chance to vent. He suppressed a lot of anger in his heart. Your staff department sent some staff to resolve it. Release him!"

Sun Quan thought for a while, and said: "Let him rest assured, and rectify the Lieyan Camp after the war. I have no intention of settling accounts with him after autumn."

"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded.

"By the way, is there any news about Jingzhou?" This is the news Sun Quan is waiting for: "Did Lu Bu break out?"

"The news just came back this morning!"

Xu Shu spread out a dossier and reported in a low voice: "A day ago, Lu Bu and Tai Shici had already rushed out of Xudu City's defense line and were trying their best to go south, but there were tigers and leopards chasing them behind them. Wei and Xu Huang, leading [-] cavalry, chased and killed them all the way!"

"It seems that Cao Mengde has become angry from embarrassment!" Sun Quan sneered: "Gu made him lose face, and he wants Gu to lose both sides?"

"My lord, can he not be angry?"

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "As the former capital of the Wei Dynasty, it has now been breached by our soldiers and horses from the Wu Kingdom. It's almost a slap in the face of the Wei Dynasty. Now, it is estimated that the Wei Dynasty has some People's hearts are in turmoil, and it will take at least a year and a half for him to appease people's hearts!"

"The effect is not that great!"

Sun Quan shook his head: "Cao Mengde still has a way of appeasing people's hearts. A Xu capital city is only the capital of the past dynasty after all. On the surface, it has little effect and cannot affect the hearts of the people of the Wei Dynasty!"

Assault on Xudu is a slap in the face for Wei Chao, but a slap in the face is a slap in the face. It does not do much damage to Wei Chao's strength.

"My lord, then we paid such a heavy casualty just to slap him in the face?"

"Hehe, you are wrong. This battle will not do much harm to the Wei Dynasty, but it is of great significance to our Wu State!"

Sun Quan explained: "Today we can raid Xudu, and tomorrow we can take Luoyang. This is a kind of indomitable confidence. It can also be regarded as disintegrating the mountain that Fengchan of the Wei Dynasty put on our people. The people of Wu will no longer think that the Wei Dynasty is the lord of the world. This battle has an irreplaceable effect on our coronation of Zen. This is why Gu Hui will ignore the safety of the two great generals and must make them raid Xudu s reason!"

"So that's the case. Unfortunately, we have suffered a great loss in Qingzhou!" Xu Shu gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for Wu Fengchan, it would be even more perfect!"

"There is no such thing as perfect. This battle is not without effect. For He Qi, he suffers a loss and gains a wisdom. For the navy, this battle may not be a driving force!"

Sun Quan said indifferently: "In the days without opponents, we can only stand still. Only the oppression of opponents can make our navy's combat effectiveness to a higher level!" To be continued.

[Chapter 822 of the main body is the prelude to the great Wu Fengchan]

Jinling City passed by silently overnight, but in silence, heaven and earth covered this city with a silver outfit.

The first snowfall in Jinling City this year has finally come. The light snow is falling, soft but not too cold, clear and clean between the sky and the earth.

In the early morning, the peaceful capital city of Wu Kingdom, which was dressed in silver, suddenly became a little turbulent.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, official documents of the court, on January [-] next year, the great Wu will enshrine Zen, and the whole world will see it!"

"Today's headlines, the king wants to be the emperor, the great Wu Ding ruled the world, come and see!"

"Military Aircraft Daily, Military Aircraft Daily, the first battle in Xudu, the God of War Lu Bu played the momentum of the Great Wu, greatly defeated the power of the Wei Dynasty, crowned the King, and added glory!"

"The Great Wu Daily, the cabinet's people's livelihood data declare that the people's lives are getting better every day, the Great Wu is in full swing, competing in the Central Plains, the world is unified, and the princes worship Wu!"

"..."

Amidst the light snow in the sky, young newsboys began to walk in the streets and alleys of Jinling City, shouting loudly to sell newspapers carrying the news of Wu Guofeng Zen.

The headlines of these newspapers are basically the headlines of Great Wu Fengchan and Wu Wang's coronation.

"The king is finally about to be crowned emperor!"

"Although the world is not unified today, our great Wu has already taken the lead in the world, and the king is a genius, and it is a matter of course for him to be crowned "Emperor!"

"Great Wu enshrines Zen, which can stabilize the hearts of the people and stabilize the world. This is a great joy!"

"..."

The entire Jinling City began to boil. Wu Guo has been established for many years. Not to mention other things, in the six counties of Jiangdong, the people's hearts have already been stabilized.

People's recognition of "Wu" is very high, even if the influence left by "Han" for hundreds of years has not been washed away.It will not affect a person's honor and pride as a Wu people.

When the Great Wu enshrined Zen, the world is respected by the people of Wu.

And Sun Quan, since he ascended the throne, has been strong in the military, pacified the chaos in northern Xinjiang, and seized Bingzhou forcefully.Entering Yizhou County in Xichuan is all a feat of opening up territories.

In the court, after a reform, he has washed away the shadow of Sun Jian and the influence of Sun Ce, and has become a monarch who promises everything and is close to a dictatorship.

In the private sector, his policies also strive to improve the lives of the people, and the Ministry of Industry continues to establish official paths.In terms of water, we have repeatedly opened ditches, not to mention other things, just talking about the people in Jiangdong, and now their lives are getting better and better.

Therefore, whether he is in the military, court, or civilians, the prestige of the king is getting higher and higher.

Today, military generals are still officials in the court.Or the people of Jinling, for the information that Sun Quan is going to be crowned emperor.Most of them were excited and applauded.

……

Cabinet hall.

In a spacious and solemn lobby, Chief Assistant Zhang Zhao sat cross-legged at the head, and was holding a cabinet meeting with all the ministers. On a large round table, there were cabinet ministers sitting one by one.

The cabinet was established at the beginning of the reform, and Sun Quan personally determined the cabinet system.In the beginning, there were twelve cabinet ministers, one chief assistant, three second assistants, and eight county assistants.

But every cabinet minister has a high position and power in Wu, and any one of them must not be taken for granted.However, the cabinet has been established for a relatively young age and lacks foundation, so it is not enough to gather twelve seats.

Today's cabinet ministers are composed of Zhang Zhao as the first assistant, Zhou Yu as the second assistant, Kuai Liang, and Zhu Zhi as the second assistant.

Next is Lu Su, whose position is the secretary-general of the cabinet, and his position is the chief steward of the cabinet, then Gu Yong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Shen Fu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Ye, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Hua Xin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

After the discussion between the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department, among the six ministers, Lu Jun, the minister of the Ministry of War, did not join the cabinet.

And sitting at the back is the tenth cabinet minister who is Qian Tanghou, the current uncle of the country, Wu Jing.At the beginning of the reform, Wu Jing opposed the reform and has been vacant.

He only joined the cabinet last month and became the tenth cabinet minister.

This took a lot of thought from Sun Jian's old department, led by Sun Jing, the clan's official, and Zu Mao, the head of the Wild Lion camp, jointly recommended, and under Zhang Zhao's deliberate manipulation, finally let Sun Quan let go.

To put it bluntly, the cabinet is a small imperial court in the state of Wu, and the cabinet ministers are the representatives of factions. Wu Jing's entry into the cabinet shows that people from Sun Jian's family will return to the center of the court.

Now there are only ten ministers in the cabinet, and there are still two seats missing.

Of course, there is also an honorary minister in the cabinet. This so-called honorary minister means that he does not have the power of a cabinet minister, but can supervise the operation of the entire cabinet.

This person is naturally Zhang Hong from Yushitai.

As the minister who oversees the cabinet, Zhang Hong has the right to attend every meeting of the cabinet, but he has no right to make suggestions or proposals.

This time, the cabinet meeting was lingering on the matter of enshrining the Zen, which is related to the state system. The general plan has been decided, but in terms of details, nothing can be sloppy.

The meeting lasted for a day, Zhang Zhao glanced at Liu Ye: "Zi Yang."
