The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 394
The surrender of Jiaozhou marked Zhang Wu's complete domination of the south, occupying the four states of Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou in the south of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao in the north occupying You, Qing, Bing, Xu, Yan, Yu, Bing, Yong, and Liang. A situation of confrontation between the North and the South was formed.

In terms of geographical area, the land areas of the two sides are similar, and even the land of the four states occupied by Zhang Wu is larger than the land of nine states occupied by Cao Cao, but the population of the north is larger than that of the south, and the degree of development is also higher than that of Cao Cao. south.

Cao Cao's overall military strength is still higher than that of Zhang Wu, but Zhang Wu relies on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and mountains such as the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountains to block Cao's army.Cao Cao also knew that there was no way to take Zhang Wu for the time being, so he recuperated and accumulated strength.

After a period of preparation, the world-famous Confucian scholars, celebrities, and scholars could not come any worse.Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang handed over the army to Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun respectively, and returned to Xiangyang. Zhang Song, Fazheng, Gu Yong, Kan Ze and others also arranged their work and came to Xiangyang.

Zhang Wu announced the official start of the academic forum.Zhang Wu did not participate in the specific discussion, but set out several principles, that is, not to distort the classics, not to seek personal gain, not to fool the people, but to open up the wisdom of the people, persuade people to be good, respect righteousness and respect etiquette, etc.

All the results of the discussion must be reviewed by Zhang Wu himself before they can be finalized and prepared for the engraving plate.

Zhang Wu knew that after this gathering, he would initially realize the ideological and cultural unification of the country, further gather the world's aristocratic families around him, and prepare for his future domination of the world.

Cao Cao also knew the consequences, but he couldn't stop it, and no one could stop it, because this is the general trend, and whoever doesn't participate will gradually decline in the next few years.The basis of the family is the knowledge handed down by the family, which is the right to interpret the classics. If you lose this, you will not be an authority, and you will not be so easy to become an official. Even if you can become an official, you will not be able to occupy a high position. Within three generations, the family will be finished .

Zhang Wu found that the higher the official position, the bigger the territory, but it was easier for him. After he had many talents under his command, as long as he was willing to delegate power, he would have a lot of time to be happy.

Perhaps Boss Cao understood this a long time ago. After Tongque Terrace was built, he spent most of his time drinking and having fun in Tongque Terrace except for some important matters. The people living in Tongque Terrace were collected by Cao Cao. All kinds of beauties.

Although Zhang Wu is relatively self-disciplined, he is still a person after all, a normal man, and he has laid down such a large territory at the age of nearly forty, so of course he has to enjoy it.

The subordinate officials of Chuhou Mansion and Cheqi General's Mansion have been fully assembled. In terms of civil affairs, Shi Miheng, the head of Chuhou Mansion, led a group of subordinate officials, plus a few governors, Bie Jia, and eunuchs to handle matters. There are several military divisions, Shi Lusu, the head of the chariot general's house, led Huang Quan and a group of soldiers, subordinates and generals to deal with them.

Zhang Wu only needs to listen to the reports of Mi Heng, Lu Su and others, and make decisions on some important matters. This reminds Zhang Wu of the cabinet set up during the Ming Chengzu period and the military aircraft department set up during the Qing Dynasty.It can not only select some capable and loyal subordinates to handle state affairs for the boss, but also ensure that the power is in the hands of the boss.

This is safer and more reliable than the previous prime minister system, and there is no need to worry about the power being concentrated in the hands of one person.

Therefore, Zhang Wu began to think about how to set up such an organization, which can not only ensure the efficient operation of the entire group, but also ensure that the power is firmly in his own hands. The most important thing is to free himself to do something more meaningful. thing.

For example, thinking about the next step of strategic development, formulating an overall plan for unifying the world, thinking about where to expand after unification, how to resolve various internal conflicts, and so on.Of course, Zhang Wu also needs some time to comfort his wives, big and small. After all, as a middle-aged uncle, in addition to galloping on the battlefield, there are other aspects that can make him feel young.

On this day, Zhang Wugang fought with Xiao Qiao and was lying on the bed with his arms around Xiao Qiao, kissing her delicate face and stroking her charming body up and down.

Xiao Qiao panted coquettishly and said, "Master Hou, I have something to tell you about myself."

Zhang Wu kept his hands together, and whispered in Xiao Qiao's ear, "What's the matter?"

"The Zhou family wants Xun'er to return to Wu County."

"Huh?" Zhang Wu stopped and began to think.

The Zhou family is Zhou Yu's family. Since Zhou Yu's death, the Zhou family has no powerful figures.Later, after Jiangdong was pacified by Zhang Wu, the Zhou family was very worried that their family would be liquidated by Zhang Wu, because Zhou Yu was also Zhang Wu's deadly enemy, and Sun Quan's family was killed, and I heard that Zhang Wu also said However, after pacifying Jiangdong, the Zhou family will not be let go.

But later, for some unknown reason, Zhang Wu did not clean up the Zhou family, so the Zhou family rejoiced secretly, but at the same time worried, for fear that Zhang Wu would think of this again.It wasn't until Zhang Wu ordered Sun Shao to attack Marquis Wu and married Sun Shangxiang that the Zhou family felt relieved a little. It seems that Zhang Wu didn't plan to clean up any more for the sake of Jiangdong's stability, because Zhou Yu, as the governor of Jiangdong, still had a relatively high prestige in Jiangdong. Tall, there are many officers promoted by Zhou Yu in the army.

Therefore, after Xiao Qiao, the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, took Zhou Yu's eldest son, Zhou Xun, to Xiangyang, the Zhou family did not dare to say anything. To live is the kindness of the heavens, who would dare to bring disaster to the Zhou family?

When Zhou Yu died, he left behind two sons and one daughter, who went with Xiao Qiao to Shu County to observe filial piety. Later, the second son Zhou Yin died of illness, and the eldest daughter was sent back to Wu County. The eldest son Zhou Xun stayed with Xiao Qiao all the time.

Now the Zhou family wants to take back Zhou Yu's only heir, which is considered human nature, but Xiao Qiao is a little reluctant to let Zhou Xun go back.

From Zhang Wu's own consideration, sending Zhou Xun back to Zhou's house in Wu County will make it easier for him to get along with Xiao Qiao. After all, Zhou Xun is Zhou Yu's son, and now Xiao Qiao is his woman.

But Zhang Wu can clearly feel that Xiao Qiao is not willing to let Zhou Xun go back. Zhang Wu, who has always been very spoiled by his woman, naturally does not want to make Xiao Qiao sad.Besides, Zhou Xun is also very smart and cute, Zhang Wu also likes little Zhou Xun very much, and his eldest son is also good friends with Zhou Xun.

In fact, Zhang Wu did not take Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to the Chuhou's mansion, not because they were widows, because in this era, it is normal for widows to remarry, and even in places ruled by Cao Cao, if widows do not want to remarry, The government will force the marriage.Because after decades of war, the population has decreased a lot, and women of childbearing age have become an important strategic resource.

Therefore, even though Zhang Wu openly accepts Joe and Joe, no one says anything, and there is no violation of legal ethics, but Zhang Wu wants to take into account the feelings of Joe and Joe. The two sisters feel comfortable living in a foreign house. Some.
