Chapter 1739 Ping Dongwu Shen Long Goes to Hefei

Liu Bei re-accepted Sun Shangxiang back to the palace, not because of their old relationship, but more importantly, because of political significance. Marriage is the only way for two forces to get married. Since Liu Bei and the Sun family had this kind of relationship, why not use it? ?

By letting Sun Shangxiang return to the palace, I can reveal to the world that I, Liu Bei, am a tolerant and nostalgic person. You courtiers from Soochow, feel free to mess with me. I will definitely not look for you through old accounts, no, you Seeing that I even forgave Sun Shangxiang, who almost abducted my only son back then, do I still care about such trivial things as you?

Now not only the civil and military ministers of Soochow are relieved, even the officials of Cao Wei will be moved. In this case, when the Shu Han army comes over in the future, it is not impossible for us to consider surrendering!

As for whether Sun Shangxiang will cause turmoil in the palace after returning to the palace, everyone is not worried. Although Sun Shangxiang has raised Liu Chan for a while, for more than ten years, it has been Empress Wu who has been playing the role of Liu Chan's mother, and Liu Bei is already so old, and it is probably unlikely that he and Sun Shangxiang will have a child to compete with Liu Chan for the crown prince. She just needs to be a good mascot in the palace with peace of mind.

Empress Wu is not a jealous person, so there is no need to worry that Sun Shangxiang's arrival will shake her position. Sun Shangxiang is just right to be a noble concubine. If she wants to be a queen, no one will agree, even the courtiers of Soochow will not support it.

Shen Long, who was far away in Jianye, was also very appreciative after hearing the news, and quickly made the news public, and these Jiangdong people felt relieved for the time being.

As soon as the war in Jiangdong was settled, Shen Long began to organize the resumption of production in Jiangdong. Many advanced production technologies of the Shu Han were popularized in the six counties and eighty-one counties of Jiangdong, allowing the local people to get more harvests. The thoughts of the people It has always been simple, they will support whoever can make them live a good life, so the people of Jiangdong have their hearts back.

Shen Long also has a solution for those aristocratic families. What they care about is profit. Shen Long also moved various workshops in central Shu to Jiangdong, so that these aristocratic families can benefit equally, so they are more satisfied.

The paper and books produced by these workshops gave the poor scholars in Jiangdong the opportunity to learn knowledge. Coupled with the schools and libraries scattered all over the country, they also felt the difference between Shu Han and Sun Wu.

After Liu Bei entered Chang'an, he opened Enke again, and these humble scholars also had a regular channel to become an official. Therefore, those humble scholars who passed the preliminary examination happily took a boat to go north to Chang'an to take the exam.

For this, the aristocratic families are quite dissatisfied, but they are reluctant to let them close the workshops. These workshops can indeed allow poor families to learn knowledge, but they have also brought them a lot of economic benefits. They are reluctant to give up so much money at once; what's more, even without them, there are other workshops producing paper books. This general trend cannot be stopped by one family.

Moreover, after all, they have a deep background, at least in this subject, young people from aristocratic families pass the initial test much more than those from poor families, so they accepted it.

Shen Long is not too worried about this. After all, he started early and received family education since he was a child. It is not easy for those poor scholars to study; but still the same sentence, in terms of the total number of people, there are more scholars from poor families than those from rich families. Much more, as long as the imperial examinations continue to be held, sooner or later the humble scholars will be able to overwhelm the aristocratic families.

Without the nine-rank Zhongzheng system to ensure that their interests are not shaken, naturally there will be no thousand-year-old wealthy families, and it is normal for Junzi Zhize to be killed by the fifth generation.

In just over a year, the turmoil in Jiangdong was completely settled by Shen Long. Now Shen Long can safely and boldly launch the final attack on Cao Wei. He took the time to go back to Chang'an, discussed the final strategy with Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, and finally decided , from south to north, he attacked Hefei across the Yangtze River, and then took Shouchun to push Xuzhou.

Zhuge Liang went out of Luoyang to the east, marched into Dongjun to recover Yanzhou, and then the two sides joined forces to take Qingzhou, first wipe out the remnants of Cao Wei's forces on the south bank of the Yellow River, and finally go north to recover the land of Hedong and Yanzhao.

During this year, Shen Long was mostly dealing with internal affairs. Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Zhao Guang, Zhao Tong, Deng Ai, Wang Ji, Ma Dai, Guan Suo and others were not idle either. They either led troops to attack Jiangdong The rebels and bandits, either training soldiers, did not slack off in the slightest. After a year, their soldiers and horses looked different again, even more elite than when they went south.

After Shen Long came back and conveyed Liu Bei's imperial edict, the young generals cheered for him. After more than a year of idleness, they finally had another chance to fight.

Every family in Jiangdong also responded one after another, either donating food and grass for the army, or letting the young talents of the clan join Shen Long's command. Now that they are all Hanchen, they have to help, so that the world will be unified. At that time, I will not be pulled too far by Liu Bei's old department, and I will have the opportunity to continue to catch up.

So, not long after, Shen Long made preparations for the Northern Expedition. He crossed the Yangtze River with elite soldiers and strong generals, and the fleet went up Chaohu Lake to Hefei. When they came out to fight, they couldn't even beat Soochow's navy before, so how dare they provoke the Shu Han army who beat Soochow's navy?

"Today I know why I was defeated before. There was a time when a ship with a sharp crossbow, who in the world can stop it? Although a certain person is not talented, he has also set sail to the sea. After this battle, the general will invite a handsome navy to go north and reach Qingzhou. It is so amazing. Soldiers descend from the sky, how can the Cao bandits stop them?" Wei Wen, a general of Soochow who had just returned to the Shu Han, offered to fight.

"General Wei's ability, but someone can trust it!" People say that he is also a person who has been to Treasure Island. Shen Long still has some confidence in his navigation skills. Let's march!" However, relying on him alone is not enough, neither the Soochow Navy nor the Shuhan Navy have crossed the sea route from the Yangtze River to the Bohai Sea, so he, the king of the seven seas, has to lead the troops himself.

Now guarding Hefei is General Cao Wei Zhengdong and Chief Sima Cao Xiu, but it is a pity that Cao Xiu is suffering from illness and has long lost the courage of the past.

Shen Long easily occupied Hefei, which Sun Quan had fought for many years and hadn't taken down yet. The Soochow general under his account was speechless. The gap is a bit too big, right?

"Since that's the case, I'll take down Shouchun and Xuzhou in one go, and go straight to Qingzhou!" Shen Long gave the order with pride, and he felt that he was not far away from completing this task.
