The Three Kingdoms

"Although we can't send troops to fight at present, we can't let them be so arrogant!"

Sun Quan thought about it: "I plan to let the Flying Tiger Legion and the Blood Wolf Legion withdraw a certain amount of troops and return to Beidi County and Shangjun to guard against their advances!" To be continued.

[Main text Chapter 280 [-] Departure to Mount Tai]

After finalizing the formation of the Tenth Army Corps and the deployment of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, Sun Quan and the generals chatted about the specific matters of Mount Tai's enshrining Zen.

For Taishan Fengchan, all the generals are actually looking forward to it.

Taishan Fengchan not only establishes the orthodox position of Great Wu, but also a rare opportunity for the generals to reward meritorious deeds. Now that the Central Plains has been settled, it is estimated that there will be a new round of meritorious deeds and rewards.

The award in the Taishan Conferring Ceremony is of great significance to every general. It is different from ordinary awards. This is an opportunity to establish the nobles of Wu.

All the generals started to turn the corner to find out what Sun Quan was thinking.

However, Sun Quan's mind was always deep, and his emotions and anger were invisible. Let alone these generals with strong limbs and simple heads, even smart people like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were unpredictable.

After some probing, they were unable to get any valuable news from Sun Quan, and the generals were a little frustrated.

In the evening, the meeting was dispersed and the generals retreated. On the second day, each general had left Luoyang and returned to their respective garrison camps.

None of them want to miss this grand event of the Great Wu Dynasty through the ages.

Sun Quan left the main hall and returned to a palace where he handled government affairs by himself. He sat down and complained: "I'm too tired to talk to these vulgar people, and I want to find out what's on my mind. It's just their little thoughts. Let me see it clearly!"

He has always preferred to talk to smart people.

Because when you talk to smart people, if you just say a word, they can understand ten or eight hidden meanings without much analysis, but when talking to these generals, you have to be direct and take care of their emotions, which is very tiring.

"Your Majesty, you can't talk nonsense!"

Xu Shu brought a generation of green tea and said with a smile: "If your words get out, Commander Lu and Commander Huang will definitely be anxious with you!"

"Hmph, you still can't tell the truth!"

Sun Quan cast a sideways glance.

"I dare not!"

Xu Shu smiled, and then asked seriously: "Your Majesty, I just heard that the war in the Western Regions is not going well. Is that true?"

"Ok!"

Sun Quan nodded when he heard the words, and sighed helplessly: "Tai Shici sent troops to help the soldiers of the Anxi Empire to fight against the invasion of the Roman army. Unexpectedly, the Roman army finally joined forces with the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Empire for some reason. , stabbed them fiercely in the back, and Tai Shici suffered a great loss in this battle. If Zhou Tai hadn't led his troops to reinforce them in time to take them out of the battlefield, I am afraid that the Western Expeditionary Army would be seriously injured in this battle. They have all exited Anxi territory now, and returned to Guishuang to rest!"

"Are the soldiers and horses of the Roman Empire very powerful?"

Sitting next to him, Guo Jia lightly flipped through the memorabilia sent back from the Western Regions. He read it very carefully. After hearing Sun Quan's words, he felt a little doubt in his heart and asked in a low voice.

"The Romans are much stronger than us in the Central Plains in terms of body size, and their combat effectiveness of soldiers and horses has also shown a different combat effectiveness after initial contact with us, stronger than ours!" Sun Quan said.

"Does Your Majesty plan to increase troops?" Xu Shu asked.

"There will be no additional troops for the time being, and Tai Shici and the others will also return to the Central Plains to participate in the ceremony of enshrining Zen on Mount Tai!"

Sun Quan shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "We will wait until after Feng Chan to discuss the matter of the Western Expedition. In today's environment, Da Wu's stalls are too big. It is one thing to have strong soldiers and horses. If the people's livelihood is not stable, we will not be able to fight at all." In my prediction, we will spend at least one year in the next year cultivating our health and rest. As for the deployment of troops for the Western Expedition, I will at least wait until the Central Plains is completely stabilized before I will consider it!"

He is not in a hurry, now he has won the entire Central Plains, and he is still young, he can afford to wait.

There is no rush to fight the Roman Empire.

The strength and combat effectiveness of the Roman army are not weak. If you want to capture Rome and conquer the world, you can't be too hasty, or you will be injured if you are too hasty.

"Your Majesty, according to the feedback from Jin Yiwei, isn't there a blood feud between the Roman Empire and the Parthian Empire? How could they unite?"

Guo Jia didn't know Rome very well before. He read the dossiers sent by some Jin Yiwei before, and his brows could not help frowning.

"Yes, they are feuds, and they have been fighting for a hundred years. It is because of the feud between them that I took it lightly and chose to let Tai Shici and Zhou Tai join forces to attack Rome. A good battlefield, the intention is to let them fight to the death, and then we will clean up the situation!"

Sun Quan regretted it a little now. If he knew the result, he should have let Tai Shici and the others destroy Guishuang first, so as not to lead to this result. He said with a wry smile: "But the final change in the situation is still beyond our expectations. In addition, maybe our conquest of the Western Regions was too fierce, which aroused a sense of crisis among them, even if they had feuds with each other, they had to unite in the end to resist our army's westward advance!"

Wu Jun's westward advance has been very smooth, attacking cities and conquering land, and going everywhere, but the progress is too fast, which aroused a sense of crisis between the two major powers in the west.

That's why it's a complete failure now.

"Judging from the battle reports of the Western Expeditionary Army, the Roman Empire should not be underestimated. Not to mention the local soldiers of the Roman Empire, they already have 20 troops on the battlefield of peace!"

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "With the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Empire, it's no wonder that Tai Shici and the others suffer a lot!"

"If you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss. I used to think of them too simply, but we can afford this loss. As long as I can breathe a sigh of relief, I don't mind dispatching millions of troops to go west and give them a hard time." !"

Sun Quan's eyes became sharper.

……

With the passage of time, the reserve officials of the Great Wu Dynasty began to move in continuously, and the lands of Guanzhong and Bingzhou and Liangzhou began to gradually stabilize.

Sun Quan stayed in Luoyang until the beginning of December, dealt with all the government and military affairs that should be handled, and then set off for Mount Tai.

Before setting off, Sun Quan had a deep talk with Li Nie, the governor of Jinyiwei.

"Old Li, the Central Plains has been unified!"

In the night, the sky was full of snow, and in the main hall, these bronze tripods were placed, and the torch was lit, and the heat was rising. Sun Quan sat cross-legged at the head of the main hall, holding a teacup, sipping a sip of green tea, and said calmly.

"Flying birds are gone, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits are dead, and running dogs are cooking!"

Li Nie wore a green robe and sat on the left side of Sun Quan's position. Hearing Sun Quan's words, his face was still calm, but his heart was a little bit bitter. After a long silence, he spoke quietly.

On the day Wu Jun broke Luoyang, he was transferred to this day, and kept hiding, but he couldn't escape after all.

"Haha, it's not as serious as you think!"

Sun Quan smiled slightly, and had to say that Li Nie is definitely the person who knows the most about current affairs: "Old Li, Jin Yiwei is the painstaking effort between you and me, I would not be reconciled to taking him down, and Jin Yiwei is Jin Yiwei after all, so I won't Because the princes of the Central Plains were destroyed, they lost their existence value. Although I am afraid of the power of Jinyiwei today, it is not enough to wipe out Jinyiwei. It is just that you need to be more cautious in your actions in the future. There are some taboos that cannot be touched, and some bottom lines Don't trample on it, otherwise, even if my heart hurts, I will kill Jin Yiwei!"

In history, Jin Yiwei assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to win the world, but after Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he dismissed Jin Yiwei and almost wiped out everything.

Now Sun Quan is facing the same problem. Jinyiwei, an organization that walks in the dark and cannot see the light, can help him win the world, but it will also affect his governance of the world.

But what he agrees with more in his heart is that to transform Jinyiwei into a national security organization for future generations, after all, a knife needs to be hung on the heads of all the ministers of Great Wu.

Sun Quan continued: "Jinyiwei must be reorganized, the forces that should be cut will be cut off, and the dark assassin team will also be disbanded. The Central Plains no longer needs assassins, and the Jinyi warriors must be put on the bright side. From now on, your focus will be on the Western Regions, and your presence in the Central Plains will be weakened as much as possible, and from now on, in the Central Plains, you only have the right to supervise, not to enforce the law. Don't blame me for being ruthless, like Jin Yiwei Department, if you want to live a stable life, you need to break your wings and hide your fangs, otherwise I won't be able to keep the word Jinyiwei!"

"Chen, I understand!"

Li Nie took a deep breath and nodded.

It is already very good that Sun Quan can achieve this step. Even if Sun Quan sealed the Jinyi Yamen, it is justified. Now that he can keep the Jinyiwei Yamen, he has taken a lot of risks.
