"Your Majesty, Marquis Wen's intention is..." Sima Yi looked at the memorial sent by Lu Bu and looked at Chen Mo with some uncertainty.

"The meaning is very simple. The imperial court makes the decision. He only has to help and say something, but he doesn't care what the imperial court decides." Chen Mo played with the glass cup in his hand, shook his head and said: "Fengxian also learned bad things~"

Jia Xu on the side couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This kind of push-back in officialdom was something that Lu Bu couldn't do before. Sure enough, even Lu Bu had this wisdom when he got older and his strength weakened.

.

Xun You smiled and said, "But that Bu Dugen is really kind."

Under normal circumstances, the leader is detained by Chen Mo. As a brother, Bu Dugen is the best candidate to inherit the position of the leader. At this time, shouldn't he be wishing that the leader could not go back?

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded, looking at the glass cup in his hand, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter in his mind. Since his northern expedition to Karasuma, the various tribes outside the Great Wall have stopped a lot over the years. Of course, there is nothing they can do if they don't stop.

, Not to mention Lu Bu, Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun are not easy to get along with. Although they have few expeditions, as long as they dare to offend the Hu people on the border, they will rarely come back. This is how Youzhou and Bingzhou have grown in recent years.

The fundamental reason why the population started to grow.

The barbarians cannot come in. In order to survive, they have to compete with each other for resources. There has been no peace in the grassland in the past two years. But for Chen Mo, the more chaotic the grassland, the better. In the early years, he could see the power of the various ethnic groups in the grassland.

It started to grow a little abnormally. Not long after the Tanshihuai era, there were signs of recovery again. It is said that the survival ability of the grassland people, if not restricted, is much stronger than that of the Han people who are accustomed to ease.

Chen Mo naturally does not want another sandalwood locust tree to appear on the grassland. Unification of the grassland is definitely not a good thing for the big man.

"I heard that Qianman has been expanding in recent years?" Chen Mo asked.

"That's right." Xun You nodded and said: "This Qian Man is the son of Helian. If we talk about orthodoxy, he is the orthodox of Xianbei. In the past, many tribal leaders gathered around him. Now, west of Danhan Mountain, there is a lush pasture.

Almost all of them were occupied, and major tribes also took refuge one after another. In contrast, many of Kuitou's former tribesmen left, Kebi was able to take the opportunity to stand on his own, and Bu Dugen was indeed a little hard to stand alone now. I heard that he went to Wenzhou in person.

I asked Marquis Wen to apologize to him, and then I got the chance to see him this time."

"It's quite pitiful. Let's let it go. Let the leader come over later and I'll give him some instructions." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Jia Xu and Xun You looked at each other. Just listen to this. Don't take it seriously. Chen Mo naturally has compassion, but it is only for the common people. He has never been soft-hearted when dealing with people. This time he wants to let the leader go.

When I went back, I guess I didn't want Qianman or Kebi to be able to get big. I wanted to let Kuitou and Budugen stand up, so that Xianbei would form a tripartite structure.

"Your Majesty, apart from that, Na Qianman seems to have a lot of support from the Xiongnu." Sima Yi reminded.

I always feel that the title of king is not as comfortable as calling the lord or prime minister before. It feels like a mountain king.

"This land of the Hetao..." Chen Mo nodded when he heard this, and then sighed. Such fertile land was originally given to the Xiongnu to recuperate and recuperate, in order to pit the northern and southern Xiongnu against each other. Now the northern Xiongnu is basically gone, and now the remaining Xiongnu

However, he flirted with Xianbei, which was obviously not in line with the original intention, but now that he wants to take it back, it is also a bit of a shameless imitation. After all, on the surface, the Xiongnu has been very honest in the past two years, Yu Fuluo was castrated, and later Huchuquan lived with his tail between his legs.

, I didn’t offend myself, so it’s hard to do anything. Chen Mo turned to look at Jia Xu, who was wandering aside, and asked with a smile: "What do Wen He think we should do?"

"I think that if Kuitou is willing to surrender to our court, we can allocate a piece of land for Kuitou to rest and recuperate in the Hetao. This land in the Hetao is not just for the Xiongnu. Anyone who is willing to surrender to our court can rest and recuperate here.

." Jia Xu said with a smile.

Chen Mo smiled and nodded when he heard this, looked at the crowd and said, "What do you think?"

"What you said makes sense, and I agree with you." Sima Yi bowed and said.

Xun You and Yang Xiu also nodded in agreement. Kuitou and Bu Dugen have been subdued by Lu Bu now. They can be good dogs. Now Xianbei is used to suppress the Xiongnu and make them be more honest. As for what the situation on the grassland will be like in the future.

, then you have to take your time and look at it. Anyway, they are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

"Bo Yuan sent a letter last year. The East China Sea ship has been built. In a while, when the weather gets completely warm, I am going to go to the East China Sea." After the Xianbei matter was settled, Chen Mo began to discuss other matters with everyone.

, Now that the emperor has been moved to Chang'an to live his own small life, Luoyang has completely become Chen Mo's court. After this period of arrangement, it has basically stabilized. Chen Mo is ready to go to the East China Sea to see

, at the end of last year, Liu Yi sent him a letter. The first batch of sea ships had been launched and tested, and there should be no problem. This was related to the future expedition to Jiangdong. Chen Mo naturally had to go and see it in person. There was also water.

Now that the army has been trained and formed, it is natural for it to be accepted.

Everyone nodded after hearing this. In the past few years, the development of the Central Plains has been getting smoother and smoother. Especially after Chen Mo became the king, many of the things that used to hinder him disappeared. This is the benefit of becoming the king. Of course, there are also disadvantages. After Chen Mo became the king,

, many old ministers have resigned from their posts, but this is limited to the imperial court. Local areas are now basically occupied by academics. Personnel changes in the imperial court generally have no impact on local areas.

In short, now that the imperial court is operating well, there is no problem for Chen Mo to go to the East China Sea for a while. Moreover, the Central Plains is now prosperous and the national power is increasing every year. It is also time to consider taking back the confiscated places such as Jiangdong, Jiaozhou, Shuzhong, and Jingzhou.

Chen Mo is now the King of Ming, and it is not impossible to take further steps, but it would be better if he could bring the power to unify the world.

"It's just that the navy general failed to pick out some suitable ones." Yang Xiu said with some distress.

It's not that there aren't any. In the past few years, generals from all sides have tried it, and there are also some who can fight in the water, such as Yu Sheng, Yu Jin, Zhang He, and Xu Huang. They have some talents in this area, but they are just some talents.

Compared with the Sun family, who had relied on the navy to stand in Jiangdong for many years, Chen Mo finally started too late in the navy.

Chen Mo didn't answer. The water general aspect was indeed a flaw of the imperial court. Not to mention that these generals' water warfare talents were not outstanding. Even if they were outstanding, how could they compare with Zhou Yu?

This time Chen Mo went to the East China Sea just to see how the naval forces performed. After all, he compiled the naval warfare strategy, but it was only in dreams. What it was like in reality, he wanted to get on the ship to experience it himself.

Because this is a patrol this time, the formation will be larger. By the way, we can also inspect the livelihood of the original people along the way. Moreover, we are not going directly to the East China Sea. Chen Mo is also planning to accompany his wife to return to Xia Qiu. Although he did not say it, Zhimu is better than Zi.

, Chen Mo knew that his mother was actually eager to go back for a visit, but she was just worried that she would miss her business, so she didn't mention it since the last time she mentioned it, but Chen Mo always kept it in his heart.

…

Jiangdong, Moling.

Sun Quan was reading the book absentmindedly. Ever since Chen Mo was crowned king, Sun Quan's thoughts became a little more vivid. Now that the four major princes in the world, Chen Mo and Liu Zhang, have been crowned kings, only he and Liu Bei are left. Liu Bei can actually succeed as King of Chu at any time.

Yes, but Liu Bei has never accepted this title. Sun Quan can probably understand. After all, Liu Bei now only has Nanjun, plus Wuling and Lingling counties, and he can't even make up one state. If he really claims the title of king, it will only make people laugh.

But Sun Quan was different. The six counties of Jiangdong plus the three counties of Jiangxia, Guiyang, and Changsha. Although Jiaozhou was remote, it was still a state. Sun Quan felt that he was qualified to be king.

He didn't send a congratulatory gift to Chen Mo, but he didn't scold him either. He was just preparing for this matter. After all, there was also a court in Jiangdong. Although it was not as orthodox as the Luoyang court in the eyes of the world, it was still a court. The emperor was here, and Sun Quan wanted to grant him a title.

The king does not need the approval of others, but if Chen Mo is crowned king, at least Liu Zhang will help wave the flag and cheer. If he is crowned king and there is no prince to help celebrate, it will feel a bit irregular.

He had already thought about the king's title, so he called him King Wu. The court did not need to think too much. Sun Quan was not as good as his brother in war, but he was stronger than Sun Ce in domestic affairs. Today's court has basically been ignored by Sun Quan.

I don’t know if it is inconvenient to ask Liu Bei to congratulate him. Sun Quan’s original intention is to cheer each other up with Liu Bei. If he becomes king, Liu Bei will celebrate. Liu Bei can also ascend the throne of Chu King, and then he will congratulate Liu Bei when the time comes. But Sun Quan is a little unsure.

Liu Bei's thoughts, in my impression, Liu Bei is a staunch supporter of the Han Dynasty. If he becomes king, will Liu Bei fall out?

"My lord, the Governor wishes to see you." The chamberlain trotted in and saluted Sun Quan.

"Oh? Please come quickly!" Sun Quan came back to his senses and nodded quickly.

"Here~" the waiter agreed, turned and left.

After a while, Zhou Yu came in with a book and bowed to Sun Quan: "See my lord."

"What's Gong Jin's important matter?" Seeing Zhou Yu's solemn expression, Sun Quan asked curiously. Apart from the matter of becoming king in Jiangdong, there seems to be nothing important lately, right?

"My Lord, Yu got a book from the Central Plains." Zhou Yu handed a paper book to Sun Quan and said seriously.

"Book?" Sun Quan looked at the book. This kind of paper book was also available in Jiangdong, but it was rejected by the Jiangdong family and was not circulated among the people. Looking at the title of the book, Sun Quan frowned: "Naval War Strategy?"

"This was written by Chen Mo two years ago. It was only now that Yu accidentally intercepted it." Zhou Yu said with a serious face: "The general has read the entire text and discovered that Chen Mo actually has a lot of research on water warfare."
