"Now Hetao has become the key to this battle, and the Wei army in Nanyang has begun to retreat. I think that the general and the cavalry general can take advantage of this time to go down the river and seize Yuzhang in one fell swoop before Jiangdong responded, and even..." In the palace hall, Li Yan looked at Liu Chan and said, "Swallow Wu in one battle!"

The Wu State betrayed the alliance this time, and with the lessons of the past, this attack on Wu is legitimate. So far, Eastern Wu has attacked Guiyang, Jiangxia and other places and occupied more than ten cities. Last time, Jiangdong took advantage of Guan Yu's attack on Xiangyang and took the opportunity to attack. At that time, the Han Dynasty chose to forgive for the sake of the overall situation. However, this time, after Hetao, the Wei army had to re-arrange its defenses. In a short period of time, it was impossible to take care of the Han Dynasty. It was the best time to take the opportunity to go down the river and capture Jiangdong.

Liu Chan nodded. The victory in the northwest was definitely a shot of a heart-warming shot for the Han Dynasty, but just like the Wei army had no time to take care of Jiangdong, it was difficult for the Han Dynasty to transfer its troops back and re-design in a short time. It would be better to transfer the troops directly to Jiangxia, along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who had been preparing to be in Ba County, and Chen Dao, Huang Zhong, Wen Pin and others who are now struggling to defend and attack Jiangdong in one fell swoop.

Jiangdong generals, Lu Meng, had died of illness. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were killed by Guan Yu in the original battle, and the other was ambushed in Jiangling. In addition, Ganning and Ling Tong also died of illness one after another. The former veterans Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang also died of illness one after another. Although Jiangdong's national strength has improved in recent years, the former generals who could stand alone have died almost the same. As for the current governor Zhu Ran, it is obviously a big gap with the previous spells, Lu Su and Lu Meng, and they have become the governor all by their qualifications. Although they are also a good general, they are obviously quite deficient than the previous generals.

Although the Eastern Wu at this time had much stronger military strength than before, there were not many generals who could use it. Basically, they were relatively young and not famous generals like Pan Zhang, Ding Feng, and Xu Sheng.

It is precisely for this reason that many people in the court hope to take this opportunity to destroy Wu in one fell swoop. After so many years of three-legged tripods, the Han Dynasty is now strong enough, and it is time to change its pattern.

Not to mention the officials in the court, Liu Chan was also a little moved when he heard this. He had just succeeded to the throne and had just been put on Hetao to stabilize his throne. If Jiangdong can be destroyed at this time, then there is hope that the unification of the world will be realized in his own hands.

Looking at Zhuge Liang at the steps, Liu Chan smiled and said, "What do the Prime Minister think?"

"Maybe you can try it." Zhuge Liang pondered: "However, the Eastern Wu occupied the six counties of Jiangdong for many years and was good at water wars. It is not easy to swallow them. I think it can be dominated by Yuzhang. It is okay to take this county first. If you can occupy all the land in Jiangdong, it is naturally the best. If you cannot, you can cut off the land in Yuzhang."

Lian Sun's strategy of fighting against Cao was first proposed by Zhuge Liang. It was originally intended to fight against Cao Wei. At that time, Cao Wei was indeed not something that Liu Bei and his family could fight against, but the situation has changed today. The Han Dynasty annexed Heluo, Guanzhong, and Xiliang in the past two years, and now it has obtained the Hetao land. According to Liu Yi's proposal, Liu Chan was ready to set the Hetao and Dingxiang area into an independent state as an independent state as a barrier to the northern part of the Han Dynasty.

Whether it is national strength or military strength, the Han Dynasty has now been vaguely equal to Cao Wei or even surpassed it. At this time, the strategy originally decided was no longer suitable for the Han Dynasty today. If it could join forces with Jiangdong to continue to attack Wei, it would be the best, but Sun Quan obviously also saw this and began to change his camp.

Sun Quan is obviously not a foolish person. As for the situation today, Sun Quan wants balance, while the Han and Wei countries want to end the war. Moreover, Sun Quan's several provocations made Zhuge Liang clearly realize that it would be difficult for Jiangdong to be an allies. In this case, taking this opportunity to destroy Sun Quan or severely damage Sun Quan's vitality is the best result.

Now the Han Dynasty has a geographical advantage over Jiangdong, and the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River are all the territory of the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty wants to attack Jiangdong, it only needs to go downstream. Moreover, Guiyang, Changsha and other places border Yuzhang, which can provide land strikes.

The only thing that made Zhuge Liang uncertain is the issue of the Jiangdong naval army. The Han Dynasty has focused more on the war against Cao Wei in recent years. Although the navy also had training, it did not have much. Compared with the Jiangdong naval army, which mainly uses water war, there is a little gap. I hope that the three giant warships left by Liu Yi back then can really reverse the situation of water war as Liu Yi said.

In Zhuge Liang's opinion, this battle can be fought, but it is unrealistic to annex Jiangdong. Yuzhang and Lujiang can be attacked, but in Danyang, Zhuge Liang does not recommend fighting. In that case, the east will also need to dispatch troops to defend. The Han Dynasty's current troops cannot reach such a long front line. Even if it can annex Jiangdong, it will take time to digest it. So Zhuge Liang first set a downline and take Yuzhang, and then look at the situation. Now is indeed the best opportunity to attack Jiangdong.

When Liu Chan saw Zhuge Liang nodded, he felt relieved and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, according to the Prime Minister's intention, he summoned the general and the General of the Cavalry to go down the river and attacked Yuzhang. In addition, the troops under the right prime minister went south to the governor of Jiangxia, and the troops of Jiangxia were recovered and the Lujiang River. As for Eastern Wu, it would be the best if they could be destroyed. If they could not, they should include these two places in the territory of our Han Dynasty."

The Central Plains cannot be fought for the time being. One fight will be a full-scale war. The money and food accumulated by the Han Dynasty in the past two years have been almost consumed, which is no longer enough to support a large-scale war. Originally, this war was caused by Liu Chan's succession and his foundation was unstable. Now the crisis has been lifted, and it is naturally the best to get one or two counties, and Liu Chan is not greedy.

"I will obey the order!" The ministers bowed and said.

After the big news was finished, the ministers dispersed. Liu Chan stood up and stretched his waist. He was really tired when he went to court.

"Your Majesty, Empress Zhang has prepared breakfast." Huang Hao saw the ministers leaving and bowed to Liu Chan. This Empress Zhang was Zhang Fei's eldest daughter, one year younger than Liu Chan. The marriage was decided when Liu Bei was still there.

"Okay." Liu Chan nodded, with a smile on his face and said, "Sikong has made great contributions this time, but I don't know how to reward Sikong. It is not easy to ask the ministers in the court."

Now Liu Yi is already ranked among the third Duke. If he is granted another title, Liu Chan doesn’t know how to grant it. However, such a big victory has further exalted the prestige of the Han Dynasty. It would be wrong if he does not give a reward.

"Why give some beauties?" Huang Hao tentatively said: "I heard that Sikong only had one wife in his life and had no concubine."

"Forget it, Sikong and his wife have a deep affection and cannot tolerate others. Otherwise, with the position of Sikong, why worry about not having a woman?" Liu Chan shook his head. The legendary story of Liu Yi and Lu Lingqi is also a good story. Liu Chan didn't want to go to destroy other people's relationship for no reason. Maybe the woman Liu Ming could come to the palace directly.

Thinking of Liu Ming, Liu Chan couldn't help but shivered, and some childhood shadows were lingering.

"Your Majesty, with Sikong's current reputation, it is not very meaningful to be promoted to a title, why not think of a solution on your wife?" Huang Hao said with a smile.

"My aunt... doesn't seem to have much preference. At most, she only practices martial arts. I can't name my aunt as a general to lead troops to fight, right?" Liu Chan thought for a while.

"In order to invite Sikong to serve as an official, the late emperor once set up a tomb for Sikong's father-in-law and worshiped him personally. Why don't Your Majesty follow his example?" Huang Hao asked with a smile.

"Sikong had already established a tomb back then, why should he set it up again?" Liu Chan said in confusion.

"The monument was only built in a hurry back then, but Tianmen Mountain was not the hometown of Wenhou, so it would be better to allocate some money to Sikong and order Sikong to erect a monument for Wenhou in Wenhou's hometown and add a posthumous title. Perhaps it is better than giving Sikong a reward directly." Huang Hao explained.

"Yes." Liu Chan groped his chin and nodded, "Yes, Jiuyuan is now part of the border of our Han Dynasty. He ordered someone to pass on the imperial edict to Sikong, and asked Sikong to build a tomb for Wenhou in Jiuyuan and posthumously named Lu Bu as General of the Han cavalry."

In this way, although Lu Bu had a bad reputation during his lifetime, he was considered a general of the Han Dynasty after staying in history books.

"In addition, I ordered Sikong's wife Lu Lingqi and her daughter to go to Jiuyuan to worship. The New Year is approaching, so the Sikong family will be reunited." Liu Chan did not know that Liu Yi was preparing to come back when the New Year is over.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Hao hesitated for a moment and looked at Liu Chan and said, "Is there something wrong? Sikong is taking over the army outside and now sending his wife and daughter. Isn't it a lack of restrictions? If Sikong takes this opportunity..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Chan's eyes swept over, and Huang Hao felt his chest stagnation.

"I haven't heard this this time. Do you know that Sikong has lived with me and the Empress Dowager?" Liu Chan looked at Huang Hao, his voice was still calm, lacking a little kindness and a little cold feeling: "Sikong is busy with my great man in this life. Sikong can have the prosperous age of today. How can I be suspicious for no reason? If Sikong really wants to be independent, then this Hetao will be given to Sikong!"

"Here!" Huang Hao's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty forgive me, I should not talk about the government affairs."

"Go down and pass the imperial edict and tell my aunt that you must let Liu Ming go with you." Liu Chan waved his hand.

"Here~" Huang Hao hurriedly bowed again. After Liu Chan wrote the edict, he took the edict to Sikong Mansion.

Looking at Huang Hao's back, Liu Chan shook his head. Liu Ming refused the position of princess last time, which made Liu Chan somewhat unhappy. Moreover, Liu Ming often came to see the empress dowager, and he always felt a little embarrassed when he met. Moreover, since Liu Ming arrived in Chang'an, Liu Chan had never been safe. There were always ministers coming to complain, and his children were bullied by Liu Ming and sent Liu Ming away. Chang'an could be more peaceful and his own ears could be more purified.

I really hope that woman will never come back, it's a headache~
