Chapter 1219 Two years later
As the atmosphere of the imperial court gradually changed from incorruptibility to corruption and selfishness, Liu Bian was furious and punished a group of officials who had such signs.

Such a trend cannot be restrained. No matter which dynasty it is, the problems of corruption and party formation cannot be fundamentally resolved. Even in later generations, such problems are not uncommon.

To maintain the cleanliness of the court, only the rulers set an example and often suppress but cannot condone.Another thing is that the group of officials at the top of the pyramid must not deteriorate, otherwise it will be rotten from top to bottom.

Fortunately, inside and outside the court, only a few officials have just begun to show signs.

It is estimated that Liu Bian's current severe punishment will stop for a few years.

However, the world has not yet been completely stabilized, and Liu Bian does not want to make matters worse. He is only slowly dealing with these issues after the world is completely stabilized.

With Mongolia's far shield, nothing major happened in the world.

The states and counties of the Han Dynasty are all in the process of rapid development.

Only two years later, Soochow was pacified.

Time is like running water, passing quietly, and two years have passed in a flash.

The time came to 208 AD.

Early spring of 208.

Liu Yu, governor of Jingzhou, wrote to the imperial court, saying that the time had come to conquer Jiangdong, and requested to launch a war to destroy Sun.

Xu Da, governor of Yuzhou, and Qi Jiguang, governor of Xuzhou, also wrote to the court one after another, saying that after three years of recuperation, the people in the two states have become rich, and the accumulated food, grass, money and food are enough to support a year of war. war.

Letters of war from the three states were sent to Liu Bian's case within half a month.

Without hesitation, Liu Bian summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss this matter.

In the Hall of Houde, civil and military personnel gathered together.

Liu Bian said to the officials: "Liu Yu, Xu Da, and Qi Jiguang successively sent letters asking for war, requesting to attack Jiangdong this year. I don't know what you think."

Liu Bowen, a senior official in the Shangshu, came out and said: "Now Yuzhou and Xuzhou have been recuperating for three years, and the food and grass they have accumulated are enough to support the army for a year. Moreover, the soldiers are in high spirits. If the delay continues, the soldiers are eager for comfort. On the contrary, it is not conducive to the smoothing of Jiangdong, so I support sending troops this year."

Di Renjie, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, cupped his hands and said, "Jiangdong's Sun family has been aggressive in the past three years. The number of recruits and horses has expanded to 15. The people of Jiangdong are full of complaints. Your Majesty's sending troops at this time is in line with the hearts of the people. If you wait a few years, the people of Jiangdong have already adapted to it." This kind of life, His Majesty has lost the support of the people. Therefore, I support sending troops to attack Jiangdong this year."

"The world has been in chaos for too long, it's time to unify, ministers!"

"The minister also agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all stood up at this time, and all supported the attack on Jiangdong, and no one opposed it.

"What the hearts of the people want!" Liu Bian stood up, pressed his hands, and said loudly: "Since you all support it, why would I object? Let's go back first!"

"No!" All the ministers bowed their hands to accept the order, and returned to their respective positions one after another.

Liu Bian sat down again and said to the officials: "There is no rush to attack Jiangdong. Now the four counties in Jingnan are still in Jiangdong's hands. Liu Yu said in a letter that Sun Ce sent a veteran Cheng Pu to station at the border of Wuling County. An army of [-]. Needless to say, its purpose is to contain Jingzhou's soldiers and horses. If Jingzhou's army attacks Jiangdong, Cheng Pu will attack Nanjun later, so as to relieve the pressure on Jiangdong.

Based on this, Liu Yu mentioned a strategy in his letter, which I think is feasible. "

Xun You cupped his hands and said: "In the early years, several young generals of the Han Dynasty went to Wuling. They were kind to the barbarian king of Wuling, Shamoke. After Shamoke succeeded the barbarian king, he once wanted to submit to the big man. But His Majesty told him to just appease him, let him stay in Wuling, and He did not accept it explicitly, and now the four counties in Jingnan are still in the hands of Sun Ce and have not yet been subdued.

Governor Liu Yu's strategy is probably to let the soldiers and horses of the three states attack Jiangdong from the front, then let Shamoke attack Cheng Pu, and then send another army to enter Yuzhang County from Changsha! "

Liu Bian laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, as expected of my mastermind, I can't hide anything from Aiqing, but that's what Liu Yu's strategy is. Pretend to send a troop to defend Cheng Pu, and then the Jingzhou army Attacking Jiangdong, the Yuzhou army attacked Shouchun, and the Xuzhou army went south to attack Wujun.

In this way, the interior of Jiangdong must be empty. At this moment, let the barbarian king Samoke attack Cheng Pu's rear, quickly defeat Cheng Pu, and transfer Nanyang Zhang Liao troops to attack Yuzhang. In this way, Jiangdong will collapse from the inside, and the frontline troops will not fight. Heart, Jiangdong will disintegrate in a short time. "

Several ministers also cupped their hands and said: "Captain Liu is well versed in military affairs, since it is his strategy, it is naturally feasible!"

"In that case, let's act according to plan!"

Liu Bian nodded and said, "I ordered Liu Yu from Jingzhou to lead the Jingzhou navy to go down the river to attack Chaisang, an important town in the east of the Yangtze River. Another person was sent to contact Sha Moke, the barbarian king of Wuling, and asked him to send troops to attack Cheng Pu's rear.

Xu Da, governor of Yuzhou, was ordered to lead the soldiers of Yuzhou to attack Shouchun.Qi Jiguang, the governor of Xuzhou, was ordered to lead Xuzhou soldiers and horses to attack Wujun. "

"No!" The ministers bowed their hands and accepted the order.

But after a while, Liu Bian returned to the harem after the end of the court meeting.

When he arrived at the door of the study, he found two young girls kneeling at the door.

Liu Bian sighed and walked forward.

"Get up!" Liu Bian said to Sun Shangxiang and Shan Yingying.

Sun Shangxiang and Shan Yingying followed Liu Bian to Luoyang, served Liu Bian in the palace for three years, and gradually fell in love with him.Although it has not reached the final step, but they all know it well, only one sentence is missing.

Sun Shangxiang wiped her red and swollen eyes and said, "I have one thing to ask Your Majesty. If Your Majesty refuses to agree, I will not be able to kneel."

Liu Bian took a deep breath and said solemnly: "No matter what, I promise you, get up!"

Sun Shangxiang said again: "I have lied to Your Majesty about something, please forgive me, otherwise I won't get up."

Liu Bian couldn't help being funny, as far as the secrets in your heart are concerned, can you fool me?
"No matter how much you lie to me, I won't be angry with you, get up quickly."

Hearing the words, the second daughter got up from the ground, Liu Bian shook her head, took one with each hand, and walked into the room.

When he came to the room, Liu Bian went straight to the couch and lay down.

The second daughter was standing on the edge of the bed, Sun Shangxiang pinched the corner of her clothes with her small hands, opened her mouth but didn't know how to speak.

"Your Majesty, I..." Sun Shangxiang gritted her teeth, and finally spoke.

Liu Bian patted the bed next to him: "If you have anything to say, come here!"

Sun Shangxiang wanted to refuse, but her body moved involuntarily. Before she collapsed, she took off her shoes, knelt down beside Liu Bian, and began to massage Liu Bian's shoulders.

"Um……"

Liu Bian patted the bed on the other side again.

Shan Yingying glanced at Sun Shangxiang, and also climbed up, pinching Liu Bian's thigh.
